TITLE: Time Difference
AUTHOR: Blue Demon
RATING: PG13
ACK'MENTS: My muse, and friend Pad and Blinker! Yea!
NOTES: DonÕt own BeyBlade...... Damn! I could sell Ray! And keep Kai!!!
SUMMERY: Me and a friend get sucked into the Beyblade world...... Blimy!

'Where the heck are we?' Pad demaned to know.

At 14 years of age, she was a small girl with shoulder length brown hair that was tied back for an odd reason that I never could figure out.
I know, I sound nuts, why is Pad asking 'where the heck are we?' Well, I blame Jill, our brainy friend, she was fixing up some weird time thingy while we watched 'Angel'. A programme that Pad likes, by the way. Anyway, we started to channel hop, because the ads were on...... I mean who doesn't?! So, anyway, We stopped at the anime show Beyblade, I had to admit Kai was hot and then Pad started to make fun of me for liking the show, at the point when I was about to shove a cushion up..... Well, an area that I wonÕt mention...... Jill's machine lit up, so did the television and we were sucked into it. 'We' I mean me and Pad. So, now that we're up todate...........


'Pad, calm down, I'm sure Jill will bring us back any moment now................. Any time now................... Some time this decade.............' I said, trying to calm Pad down, while calming myself; 'Jill.....'

'Hey!' We both turned to see a guy running towards us, now, being as we are, we both side stepped away, me to the left and Pad to her right. As he ran past us, I noticed something that was really scary. Terrifying actually.

'What's the rush?' Pad asked me, completely baffled at what just happend.

If we were in 'Angel' I bet she would be busy trying to get Angel into a broom closet. Luckly we weren't, but still......

'Pad, this is Bayblade,' I said to her.

'No way!' Pad said, totally surprised, like anyone else I guess, until she opened her mouth again; 'So, you gonna stalk Kai?'

'I wish I had a mallet to hit you with,' I told her; 'Let's follow Tyson,'

Pad had no idea who I was talking about, but she followed me all the same. We saw that Tyson had run to an area near the river, why I don't know, but I saw him battle a guy.............. It suddenly clicked.

'That's Carlos,' I whispered to Pad.

'The guy with the bad fashion sense?' Pad asked and I nodded; 'He's.......'

Now, we would have....... No wait, Pad would have gone on, if we hadn't seen Kai come near. This is something you never want to happen to you. You met a guy you really like, you know he's not real, and then suddenly, your with him!
Luckily, Kai isn't very talkative, he watched the match and saw Carlos lose, I had to make sure Pad didn't open her mouth. I'm pretty sure Kai wouldn't touch me with a stick, but now I know he wouldn't touch me with a 30 foot barge pole. We moved after he fought Tyson, he and Carlos never saw us, or never acknowledged us, anyway, Pad wanted to follow them and I had to pull her back. BIG mistake. We fell and rolled down to the banking. Meeting Tyson, the Chief an Andrews feet.

'Nice shoes,' Pad commented to Andrews feet.

'Blimy.....' I got us and shook myself, noticing three faces looking at us; 'Hi,'

'Are you more Bladesharks?' Tyson asked us, he looked at bit angry.

'No,' I replied; 'We're a bit lost, we're new to town and......... '

'And we wondered if any of you would be able to help us find a place to sleep?' Pad finished for me.

'Sure,' Tyson said.

I noticed Pad wasnÕt too happy with the way his hair was, or the clothes he wore, and the back to front cap. In fact she told me that he reminded her of the guy from Pokemon. Don't blame her for saying that. She's honest........... I guess you all wondered what we did the rest of the time, huh? Well, first off I managed to get a job, we did have to pay for rent, and we didn't have a lot of money.
After a week, we both decided to go and see the beyblading competion. I decided to put in some bets, hey I've already seen the eps, so why not? I won some money, which was a good thing, we needed it! We went down to cheer Tyson on and met up with his blonde haired friend, Max.

'Hey guys,' Tyson greeted us, a big goofy grin on his face.

'Hey man,' I said, smiling back, I had to, its a fault when I have to smile at some who smiles at me........ Unless they look perverted.

'Who's this?' Pad asked him, looking at Max, from her face, i could see that she didn't have much to complain about his outfit.

'Oh, sorry. Max this is Pad and Tess, Pad, Tess, this is Max,' Chief introduced us, sorry, I forgot to mention my name at the start!

'Pad? Is that a nickname?' Max asked, it was obvious that he didn't mean to be rude.

'Yea, its different,' Pad informed him; 'Who are you fighting against?'

'Kai,' Max replied.

'Wow,' Pad said, impressed.

She actually thought that Kai would fight Tyson, but then what would the finale be?

'Good luck,' I said, he was about to go and fight when we all saw Kai coming out of a room.

'Hey, Kai!' Max said in his happy chirpy voice; 'How's it going?'

Kai just looked at Max's hand and then back to his face and said; 'Excuse me, but I have a match to win,' He walked off, leaving the rest of us surprised.

'He's not so tough,' Tyson said to Max.

'I heard that,' Kai called back, but never looked back.

'Max, you'll do fine. I bet you'll win a match,' I told him.

'No way! He'll win!' Tyson said, jumping around like a kangaroo.

Max did only win one match. Of course, no one remembered my 'prediction'. Tyson was against Ray, I decided to get some food, I had skipped breakfast! And I did it during Tyson's match so he won't ask me to get him something.
Tyson won. Gee, who knew?
Kai against Tyson. Oh god, I hate this, a guy...... Who yea, I hardly know, is fighting a guy who has an ant controling his brain. And Kai losses!!!!! Oh my god! First match he is flung into the fence, which looked painful, then his beyblade fell out of the dish....... Oh..............

'Hey guys!!!' Tyson yelled and motioned for us to come towards them. Oh god!

'Congratulations,' Pad said to him as we walked towards them.

'Yea, and now you get to go on a training holiday........ Thingy...........' I decided to just shut up, I felt weird next to Kai.......... I hope he doesn't notice.

'Championships,' Kai corrected me, looking at me with his brown/red eyes.

'That's what I said,' I told him, knowing I was going to either a, start a fight, or b, make him walk away. I'm busy hoping it will be the latter and the former. I'm buggered.

'No, you said training holiday, there not the same,' Kai said to me, my heart rate has gone off the charts here.

'Oh, yea, more stress.........' I looked at Tyson; 'Then again........ Would Tyson know what stress is?'

'No,' Kai said stifly.

'This is true, there is probably very few things that he knows,' I said with a nod.... I picked that up from my grampa, I'm so sad!

'Whatever,' Kai said, but never turned his back to me.

'So, what about you two?' Ray came over to me and Pad; 'Tyson won't shut up about you,'

'What?' I asked, surprised and annoyed, we hardly knew Tyson!

'Really?' Pad said, going all into her flirty mode.

'If you want, I'll give him a fat lip, just to shut him up,' I offered, but my offer was left alone, damn it.

'He said you,' Ray looked right at me; 'New who was going to win and who wasn't,'

'Well...... Actually it was all guessing,' I covered up quickly; 'That means nothing, just a fluke,'

'Hey, maybe you guy's could be our mascotts,' Max suggested.

'I thought that was animals to do,' Pad said to them, and I groaned inwardly.

'Pad, we are animals,' I pointed out, and then realised that I had opened myself up for one of her flirty modes..... Oh god.

'I know,' She lowered her voice; 'You are,'

'Feck off!' I said to her. Almost fell into Kai when backing away, but luckily I didn't.

'We could be little cheerleaders,' Pad suggested, Ray, Max and Tyson's faces lit up, Kai's stayed the same as before.

'Goodluck guy's, I'll see you later,' I turned and walked away.

'What?!' Pad called after me.

'I hate cheerleaders!' I called back, Pad looked taken back.

Pad is infact a cheerleader, the fact that she's my friend is weird, I bitch about Cheerleaders at ever moment I can. Pad is living proof.

'Well, maybe you can be a helper to Chief!' Max said, but I wasn't interested, I really shouldn't have gotten into Kai. I looked like an utter wombat when talking to him, its like I didn't think before I opened my mouth.

'From what I can see, Pad is a bad thing for the team,' Kai said, right behind me.

'Yes, and I'll figure out a way to stop her from going with you. All right? Good,' I said, not looking at him and walked away.

'No. Look, if what Tyson says is true, then your friend could be a distraction, and she doesn't appear to be easy to move from the spot, if you get my drift,' Kai said and I nodded, staying silent; 'Good, we'll see you at the airport. One more thing, what do you know about beyblading?'

'Fire the blades into the dish and hope to god that you'll win?' I sounded so sad, I just watched a competition and I had no idea what beyblading was about............. Red-neck creeping up.

'You have alot to learn,' Kai said and walked off, leaving me standing all alone.......

'So, you gonna teach me?' I called after him. Dear god, I did it again!

'What?' He turned round, surprised that I asked a question, for about a second on his face, but longer in his eyes.

'Are you going to teach me about beyblading?' I asked him, oh yes, red-neck coming right for me.

'Fine,' Kai said.

'Bye!' I said and ran back to the others.
