Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblade.
A/N: Yes Fanfiction, Divine Child is back with another Majestics story (all run and cower in fear). This time, my beta and best friend ask me to write a Majestics story for her featuring an Oc and one of her favorite Beyblade guys, Johnny McGregor.
I hope you all enjoy, and ETP you better enjoy this!
"Sheep, what is up with all the damn sheep?" A dark haired girl, with streaks of blond and red groan when their ride stops once again due to a herd of sheep crossing the road.
"Get use to it Mikaela, you're in Highlander country now," The auburn hair girl in the front seat of the small Mini Coop chuckles, bringing the tiny car to a slow stop.
"It's not so bad," A pretty honey blonde sitting next to Mikaela turns to look out the window, "the whole place is...magical."
"Wait until you see Cherrywood. I feel like I'm in a Jane Austen novel," The auburn haired girl, Rory chuckles in delight. Her blue eyes sparkle, now starting up the small vehicle to continue their journey towards the inn.
Ambrielle watches with wide eyes at the scenery that past them. It was a dream come true for the tomboyish American to be in Scotland. She had always wanted to travel to Scotland, England, and Ireland since she was a little girl. When she had got a phone call just a week before today from her best friend Rory to come visit her family's new home, the two roomies jump at the chance and left for Scotland immediately.
Rory Tremaine originally was American, like Ambrielle, whose crazy mother decided to up and leave their home in the States for a cozy inn just outside Glasgow. It turns out that the inn was a success, with Rory's family now having enough money to be very comfortable for a long time.
Her mother gave her permission to call up some of her old friends. Rory could only think of two who would enjoy the trip.
Mikaela Brigs was Canadian through and through. The girl had lived in almost every corner of the country due to her parents' jobs. Once she turn eighteen, she got her dream by attending beauty school. It wasn't long until she offer the chance to have Ambrielle come up and live with her.
Ambrielle Conner, American and born in the Heart of Dixie. The southern girl had just recently left her comfortable life with her father, who was a major reporter for the BBA to a life of independence with her good friend Mikaela.
Now all three girls were going to have the whole summer together.
"I am so glad you girls manage to have the entire summer off to come up here," Rory giggles, still excited that they were actually here with her.
"Well Mikaela lost her job."
"Shut it Al."
"What?" Rory all but step on the breaks, "Since when did this happen?'
"When I tried to call off work."
"Oh Mikaela, I didn't mean for you to get fired." That thing about Rory was that she was a sweetheart. She tried to make sure everyone around her was happy. She was people pleaser.
"Not your fault," Mikaela shrugs her shoulders, leaning back into her seat.
"You punch your boss in the nose," Ambrielle sends a look at Mikaela. Mikaela just shrugs, with Rory shaking her head. The blue green car finally made it to the winding drive of the inn. It was a huge manor turned into a cozy, large inn with a winding driveway. Off to the side, stables and a cluster of guest cottages. To the far right, a barn and large riding field.
"Geez girl, you went from small town girl to Scotland princess," Mikaela whistles.
"Oh there is more," Rory was right. The closer they got, the more they saw. Both girls look around with wide eyes when they pulled to a stop just up the ways from the inn to a small bungalow cottage. Large trees surrounded the cottage, giving off a fairy tale appearance.
Large pawed black and tan puppy comes running up to the vehicle. Rory gets out, squealing and giggling, greeting the dog.
"Hi baby, Mommy is home."
"You have a dog," Mikaela gets run over. Ambrielle walks up to the dog now licking Mikaela before galloping over to her. Ambrielle kneels down, "You are a pretty boy, aren't you?"
"That's Duncan," Rory opens the trunk to help the girls with their bags.
Ambrielle takes in the fairytale cottage, "is this all yours?"
"Yep, Mom decided to give me my own place. She said I deserve it. It was originally the old caretakers house but once the place sold, so did the cottage. Mom and I had it all remodel and everything."
"Electric, running water, etc" Mikaela helps her with the bags. Ambrielle picks up her backpack with Duncan at her feet.
"Yes, satellite TV, internet, and more." Rory opens the front door causing both girls to gap at the coziness of the inside.
"This," Mikaela drops her bags, "so beats our apartment."
"Speaking of that," Ambrielle turns to Rory, "we lost our lease. We're back to Mikaela's house again."
"Damn it," Rory swears, "and here I am-"
"Don't apologize. I like it. I feel like..."
"A celebrity at a high price resort?" Rory goes about making tea at the small kitchen, chuckling, "I got a bedroom down here and one upstairs. So you two take your pick of which one you want."
"Which one is bigger?" Mikaela turns around.
"Hmm...the one upstairs I think," Rory didn't say much after as Mikaela grabbed her bags and headed upstairs. The sound of a door opening is heard, "Wow, it's got a queen size bed!"
"That's my room, you moron!" Rory shouts.
A door slams shut, running feet, and another door opens, "damn it your room looks better!"
"Well too bad!" Rory yells, before looking away to spot Ambrielle at the large living room window. Her ice green gaze stares at the environment around them. Ambrielle could make out a large garage like building just off to the far back of the inn.
"That's for the cars of the guests. My stepdad does all the mechanical work." Rory points out, "isn't it beautiful?"
"You are so lucky Rory," Ambrielle looks at her best friend, with her fingers still left press at the window pane.
"I would say lucky," Rory gives a shy smile, "I am glad you and Sam are here. It beats trying to make friends here."
"Have you?" Ambrielle was worried about Rory. It was hard enough for her to make friends, but when Rory had moved, she had left everyone behind as well. It was a much greater distance from home then it was for her. Rory had a whole ocean between her and the old home she knew.
"I know a couple of girls from town, and the people who work here." Rory smiles, "I'm glad you're here. I was going crazy the past week trying to clean the whole house for you."
Ambrielle leans over, giving her shorter friend a hug. An idea comes to her mind. She had just recently quit her job at the local pizzeria and, with Mikaela loosing her job at the salon, and with them all but homeless, she just had to ask.
"I'm glad too," Ambrielle pulls away, "You think Mikaela and I could get jobs here? I mean...since we don't have much when we get back but, if your parents don't mind-
"Oh sure!" Rory lights up, "we could always use the extra help. I hope you don't mind getting paid under the table."
"Nah, I think I can convert pounds into Canadian money when I get back," Ambrielle laughs. Rory rushes off, calling her mother to say that she had extra help for the summer. Ambrielle heads upstairs to let Mikaela know about the new jobs. She finds her dark haired friend asleep on top of the blankets of her bedroom.
Ambrielle shakes her head, closing the door behind her to let her sleep. Rory gets off the phone, giving Ambrielle a thumbs up that the jobs were secure. Once she puts away her stuff in the bedroom across from the kitchen, Rory tugs her out of the house to go see the inn.
Duncan playfully chases after them as the two girls run to the inn. The creamy butter bricks of the place did remind Ambrielle of some 19th century English manor. The windows and doors were all off white.
Rory leads her into the main hallway, before turning left into a large, cozy office. A beautiful woman with soft, dark red hair leans over a pile of forms on her antique desk. The woman immediately looks up with large blue grey eyes, smiling as the two girls come in.
"Girls! Ambrielle!" Evelyn Tremaine rises from her seat, crossing around to give both girls hugs. The bear hug makes Ambrielle gasp for breath before being release by Rory's mother.
"How was trip? Did you two find everything alright? Were the roads bad? Did Rory-"
"Mom, you're doing it again." Rory interrupts her mother being...motherly.
"Oh I am sorry. I just wanted to make sure you and Mikaela had a good trip. Speaking of her, where is she?"
"Asleep," Ambrielle answers, "she didn't nap like I did on the plane ride up here."
"She should have," Evelyn claps her hands, "now what is that you girls need for this summer?"
"Jobs?" Ambrielle gives a sheepish smile.
"Jobs?" Blue eyes meet blue eyes, staring at Rory. "They lost their jobs for the summer, and before that, the lease on their apartment."
"Would you two like to work here?" Evelyn asks, her eyes lighting up. Ambrielle looks at Rory before nodding to Evelyn. "Maybe, if you two really like it here, you two can live here. I'm sure that would make Rory happy."
"Yes it would Mother," Rory shakes her head, "but it all depends on what they want. Am already had her citizenship changed once. I doubt she want to do it again."
"Hello, I am in the room," Ambrielle smiles, "thank you. What jobs could you give us?"
"Stables for you. Rory tells me that you are excellent with horses. I guess we can give Mikaela a housekeeping job. Elsie had to let go of one of the girls so we are shorthanded. She can help out in that department."
"Thank you so much Mrs. Tremaine," Ambrielle smiles, giving the woman a hug.
"It's no trouble, just go to make sure you tell Mikaela when she wakes up."
"Okay, thank you Mom," Rory plants a kiss on her mother's cheek. The two girls left the office. Rory decides to Ambrielle the tour of the Cherrywood Inn. She watch with giggles at her friend's reaction to the place.
"It's so warm, beautiful...I love it."
"Great, I was hoping you would."
"There are twelve floors exactly," Rory walks down another hallway, "we have a indoor pool in the floor below us. It's complete with full equip gym, sauna, and everything. We have the top suites at the twelfth floor. We had a ballroom, full staff kitchen so you'll never go hungry, and-" Rory opens up a pair of elegant French doors, "a wonderful backyard."
She sees the look on Ambrielle's face, "You have a maze garden?"
"Yeah it seem to fit, right?"
"I so want to run into right now."
"Maybe later," Rory drags her over off to the side, "I want to show you the stables." The girls headed to the large stable that Am had seen on the drive up. When Rory walks inside with her, the country girl lets out a squeal of delight. Am went around, inspecting each corner of the entire facility.
"I love it! I going to feel right at home here!"
"Yay!" Rory hugs her, "I'm so glad that you are here."
"Me too, it's been too long since our last visit." Ambrielle smiles. "I like your hair," Rory took notice of the honey blonde's short hair. It was just two inches past her chin, and she look adorable.
"Thank you," Am took in Rory's appearance, "You let your hair grow out and you have bangs!"
The auburn locks gently wave down her shoulders, with side part bangs. She had stray pieces of hair pin back with small clips. Her blue eyes were sparkling.
"Yes I did," Rory smiles, "figured I pretty myself up."
"You're always pretty."
"So are you," Rory squeezes Am into another hug, "Hey! How about we go horseback riding? I want to show you and Mikaela just how big this place is."
"There is more?" Am follows Rory back to the house to wake Mikaela. She woke up alright, cranky and groggy. That was until Rory said that they were going to go horseback riding. All three girls walk back to the stables with Rory asking the hands to pull out the three best horses they had.
"This is Mustard," she hands the reins to Mikaela.
"Mustard...?" Mikaela takes in the yellow horse.
"Yeah original I know. He came with the stable." Rory hands the reins of a patchwork horse to Ambrielle, "This is Sally."
"Ragdoll..." Am nuzzles the mare's nose to hers.
"And I get...Winter." Rory hops up onto a off white horse speckled with grey spots. Mikaela and Ambrielle saddled up, only with Mikaela having trouble. Once they got her on the horse, Rory lead the way.
The three girls rode off onto the fields, with Rory leading the way. She stops Winter at the top of hill, waiting for the others to catch up. Once they reach the top of the hill, Ambrielle gasps at the view.
"It's beautiful," She takes in the scene of rolling hills and green grass. A light fog is lifting off the tops of the small mountains. A large castle-like building is just off in the near distance.
"Ooo a castle!" Ambrielle squeals in delight.
"Nice, didn't know you had royalty for neighbors, Rory." Mikaela takes out her binoculars.
"Mikaela, what are you doing?" Rory sweatdrops, staring at the dark hair girl spying on her neighbors.
"Shh...I want to know who lives there."
"But you could just-"
"Shh, takes away the mystery," Mikaela adjust the view from them, "Damn they got nice cars that's for sure!"
"Duh, they're rich." Rory rolls her eyes.
"Ooo, I see someone. I see...four someones. I see...holy..." Mikaela takes away the binoculars from her eyes, staring at Rory. Her mouth is unhinged, with eyes flashing.
"You got hot neighbors."
"Excuse me, gimme me that!" Rory takes away the binoculars, "that's because they have a son with friends."
"Lemme see," Am snatches the binoculars from Rory, who nearly falls off her horse from trying not to let her grab them. Once she places them over her eyes, her heart nearly shoots out of her chest. Outside the castle, there were four handsome boys all standing around the vehicles, chatting it seem.
One in particular catches her attention.
She knew him immediately from his spiky red hair, bandana, and handsome lavender eyes. It was Johnny McGregor, and other three boys were his teammates. Rory was living next door to one of the Majestics. Her face becomes warm very quickly.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Ambrielle pulls away, staring at Rory with wide, confused eyes.
"Because of that," Rory points over to Mikaela who pull out another pair of binoculars. "Oh baby yeah! This great!"
"Mikaela!" Both girls get their friend's attention.
"What?" Large grey eyes blink, trying to appear innocent.
"I didn't say anything because I knew that Mikaela would want to start stalking them."
"I do not stalk professional beybladers." Said girl glares at Rory.
"Oh really?" Rory makes a face, "Kai Hiwatari? Tala Ivanov? Lee from the White Tigers?"
"So?"
"Oh you are hopeless," Rory groans, resting a hand on her forehead, "just put them away or else they're going to think they're being stalk. I don't need Johnny showing up on my doorstep asking why a bunch of fangirls were spying on them."
"Not my fault he's your neighbor," Mikaela snickers, smirking and watching the boys more.
"Gimme that!" Rory tries to take the binoculars away from Mikaela. The girls ended up in a tug of war with them. Ambrielle tries to side step her horse away from the two so Sally doesn't get spook. She shakes her head, before lifting up the first pair. By the way the conversation was going, Enrique had spotted them, pointing out the three with Johnny, Robert, and Oliver all staring.
"Uh...guys?"
"Fine! Here!" Mikaela lets go of the binoculars to Rory, which side steps her horse into Am's horse. Poor Sally rear up with the poor girl hanging on for dear life. Ambrielle screams with Rory trying to tell her to calm the horse down.
"Am!" It wasn't long when the horse took off with the poor girl stuck on for the ride.
"Crap!" Rory is ready to take off when she hears a noise. The sound of four wheelers cut the silence, pulling up to the two remaining riders. Johnny, Robert, and Enrique had decided to come when they saw the three riders. It didn't take long for the boys to see that one of the girls were in trouble.
"Rory!" Johnny is the first to hop off.
"Johnny! Listen, sorry about that. I got to go get Ambrielle." Rory didn't have time to talk. She was keeping her eye out for best friend. The last thing she wanted to leave her friend out in the middle of nowhere. The worst case scenarios played in her head on what could happen to her best friend.
"Here!" Johnny helps her down off the horse, shoving her into someone's arms. He jumps on the horse, "I'll get her."
He takes off down the hills towards the galloping mare. It does not take him long to catch up to Ambrielle, grabbing a hold of the reins. The two horses slow down.
"Woah there," Johnny calls to the horse, slowing her down. They come to a stop, just before they get to the small hill before the inn. Johnny gets off the horse he borrowed from Rory. He walks up to the frighten blonde on the other horse. Her chin length hair was a messy from the ride. Her frighten eyes were closed.
"Hey...Ambrielle right? Are you okay?"
The Scot's voice suddenly made Ambrielle open her eyes, shocked and surprise that her hero was the same boy she was spying on moments before. With a squeak, she tries to get off the horse only to land into Johnny's arms.
"Easy...you're fine. You're safe now. I bet Rory will be happy to now that you're okay."
The poor girl doesn't speak, only to wiggle out of his grasp. She tries to back away from him only to trip over a unseen rock. Johnny rushes forward, grabbing Ambrielle. His arms go around her waist.
"I said easy, didn't mean to scare you."
"I...I...I..."
"Your friends are here." Johnny looks up to see Rory and Mikaela riding up to them. Rory gets off her horse, running towards them. She takes notice of the situation that Am was in. Johnny's arms were wrap around Am's torso, with her best friend was red as Johnny's hair.
"Thank goodness, you're okay." Rory pulls Am away from Johnny, hugging her. Mikaela gets off her own horse, staggering away before checking out Am to make sure she was alright.
"Thank you Johnny."
"No problem," He sticks his hands into the pockets of his jeans. The girls lead Ambrielle and the rest of the horses back to the stables where they waited until boys arrived. Johnny was eager to know who the pretty blonde that he had rescue from the fields was. His lavender eyes couldn't keep themselves from her. Her icy green eyes avoided him, probably out of embarrassment.
Rory did mention to him before about having two friends out of the country. She didn't tell him about beautiful they were. Especially the blonde, Ambrielle.
He never usually found a lot of girls attractive but in this case, he made an exception.
His two teammates, and good friends Robert Jurgen and Enrique Giancarlo arrived with him.
The last teammates and friend, Oliver Polanski called Enrique, with his Italian friend reassuring him that the girl was alive and well. Oliver had to leave in order to meet up with his girlfriend in London.
"Hey guys," Rory was used to the Majestics showing up at Cherrywood Inn. The first time she was starstruck. That was before she gotten used to them. Johnny and Rory immediately bonded, with Johnny treating her like the sister he never had. The other boys befriended Rory as well, especially Oliver.
"Oliver says I need to give you a hug," Johnny wraps his arms around the auburn haired girl, "and says he couldn't make it because he's on his way to see Madeline."
"Aw, how is she?"
"Last time I asked, she's good."
Ambrielle felt something deep inside, growling and snarling. The sight of Johnny hugging her best friend so close and tight made her angry. Johnny pulls away, glancing around Rory to see the pretty blonde glaring at him.
"Um...hi?" He waves, catching Am off guard. The poor girl squeaks, taking refuge behind Mikaela. Mikaela sighs, giving a small wave at the boys.
"Guys, I like to introduce you to my two friends, Mikaela Brigs and Ambrielle Conner. Girls, like you didn't know, the Majestics."
"Nice to meet you," Mikaela steps forward, with Ambrielle loosing her hiding spot. Mikaela shakes hands with each, stopping at Enrique. The Italian gives her a crooked smile.
"Nice to finally meet you, bella." Enrique's lips graze the top of her hand. Mikaela turns her hand into a fist before Rory lets out a small cough. Blue eyes meet grey, with Rory giving Mikaela a warning.
"You'll have to excuse Am, she's a bit shy." Rory smiles, turning around to give Ambrielle a look. The blonde steps forward, avoiding Johnny and bowing.
"It's nice to meet you," Her eyes look down.
"Rory has said a lot about you two," Johnny speaks up. Robert nods, "Yes she was very anxious about you two coming up for the summer."
"Very is such a small word," Rory chuckles, "More like spastic."
"Yeah but we still love you," Johnny hugs her. The green eye monster pop out again, making Ambrielle frown. Rory doesn't notice but Mikaela does. The dark haired beauty raises an eyebrow before turning to Rory.
"Um, well it was nice meeting you but we have to go unpacked. Rory didn't give us the chance the moment we walk in the door. She just had to show us around. And thank you again for saving Am's butt." Mikaela drags Ambrielle out the door. Rory blinks, confused by Mikaela's behavior before giving goodbyes to the boys.
Rory heads back to her house, walking in the door and staring at the two sitting on the sofa.
"Since when did you two care to unpack already?" Her hands were on her hips. Ambrielle just sighs, muttering something about taking a shower. Rory shows her the bathroom upstairs. Once the door shut on the bathroom, Rory turns her attention to Mikaela.
"Rory," Mikaela's serious expression causes the red head to step back, "I need to talk to you about something."
"Okay, about what?" Rory sits down.
"I think Ambrielle has a crush on Johnny?" Mikaela remembers Am mentioning it before, way before meeting Johnny today. The Majestics were always one of the girls' favorite teams. Ambrielle immediately had an attraction to the fiery Scot, driving her two best friends up the wall about it. The crush was something Mikaela missed until just minutes ago.
"Oh," Rory sighs, "I forgot about that. She always did have a crush on him. I guess meeting him today made everything come back. I totally forgot about it."
"Forgot? How could you?"
"I wasn't thinking," Rory looks upstairs to where Ambrielle was behind a close door, "I'm so used to him now that I didn't really think on it."
"Speaking of that as well," Mikaela gives her a frown, "why didn't you tell us?"
"Because I didn't want the reason for you two to be here was to only spy on the Majestics. I wanted to keep it a secret from you so you two could have a good time with me, and not stalking people." The last part turned into a glare which Mikaela tries to appear innocent.
"I understand, sorry for being snippy about it."
"And I am sorry for not telling you," Rory smiles, "do you really like the place Mikaela? You haven't said anything so far."
"I do like it," Mikaela smiles, "you'll have to give me the tour tomorrow."
"Oh I will," Rory gets up, glancing at the clock, "It's about dinner time. Oh, almost forgot, Am and I got you a job."
"A job?" A sigh of relief before a gasp, "wait a minute! This is vacation time!"
"I know but you want to save up money in case you two want to go back and get another apartment? I know you don't have a job and living at home isn't the best experience."
"Yeah yeah," Mikaela waves Rory away, "so what job did you get me and Am?"
"Am is going to be at the stables. You...you got housekeeping."
"Oh joy," Mikaela rolls her eyes, "why housekeeping?"
"The housekeeping staff is short a girl. I'll introduce you to Elsie tomorrow once I give you the tour. You can start as soon as you can, once you're rested." Rory smiles at Ambrielle coming down stairs. The girl had changed out of her jeans and t-shirt for a pair of dark blue sweatpants and black tank top.
"I told Mikaela about the job. She's going to take it," Rory laughs at Mikaela's disgusted expression, "even if she doesn't like it."
"Be thankful," Ambrielle curls up on the sofa.
"You going to be okay?" Mikaela puts an arm around the blonde. Am nods, leaning her head on Mikaela's shoulder.
"Hey, Am...?" Rory peaks over the couch.
"Yeah Rory?"
"I'm sorry...I forgot that you have a crush on Johnny. And also, I'm sorry for not telling you about the Majestics. I was worried that you and Mikaela would become stalkers for the summer."
"Th-that's okay," Ambrielle smiles up at her, "I understand."
"Good, now what do you girls want for dinner? I get to cook tonight!" The two girls cheer. Ambrielle smiles, happy that she was going to be having her best friend's cooking for the night. Once the girls stuff themselves with chicken casserole, Mikaela and Rory grab their showers while Ambrielle tries to find a movie.
They all settle on a pirate one before each of them drifted off to sleep.
Ambrielle was the last to doze off, glancing out the window into the darkness. The only lights she could see were the ones coming from the McGregor Castle. The thought of Johnny at his window staring out at the same blackness comes to mind.
Ambrielle sighs, before making herself comfortable on the sofa with her friends. Her last thoughts before sleep took over was that of the Scot that saved her life.
