RTC: I couldn't help but do another Ray and Mariah. They're too cute!

Ray: Ray-Tiger-Cat's dreams to own Beyblade fly like a raven, but unfortunately, this raven has two broken wings and won't be getting off the ground.

Mariah sighed deeply. It had been so many months sine she'd last seen him and she'd been so strong, but it was funny how a simple bird could totally make Mariah pine for Ray in a way she'd considered totally pathetic until now.

She was a strong independent woman, or at least that's what she told herself.

It had been such an innocent thing-on her way to the market, she'd spotted a raven-its black feathers reminding her so much of her boyfriend's hair that it was scary.

She sighed again. What with living in a village so isolated, she didn't hear from Ray too often and she had no idea how he was or even long it would be until she saw him again.

But there was one thing she did know-he'd return and when he did, she'd be waiting for him.
