Only a Summer's Romance

Chapter One: Australian Arrival

"Wow," Ray exclaimed, looking out the window of the private jet.

"Yeah," Max echoed, bright blue eyes twinkling.

The wide expanse of clear blue water stretched before them as the jet flew over. Miles and miles of coral reef swayed under the water.

"We are now approaching the Sydney Airport. Please keep your seatbelts on as we begin our descent." The pilot angled the jet onto the runway.

"Ah… Australia," Kenny sighed dreamily. "I've always wanted to come here and finally dive into the Great Barrier Reef and go to the Sydney Opera House and watch their performances. To go into the Australian Outback and watch the Aboriginals play their didgeridoos. Did you know that there are 400 types of coral? And did you know that…"

"He's at it again," Dizzi grumbled from inside her computer. "Somebody turn me off."

"Aw… c'mon Chief!" Tyson complained, interrupting Kenny in mid-sentence. "All I are about is the food!"

"Ah yes, Australian food. Very unique if I do say so myself. You should really try their seafood. In the Great Barrier Reef, there are 1500 species of fish and 4000 types of mollusc. If you went to the South, you could eat lobster, scallops…" Kenny started naming off the types of food eaten in Southern Australia. Everyone groaned, sweat-dropping a little.

"When he gets going," Ray said, chuckling nervously. "He really does get going."

"Hey Kai!" Max called to a two-toned blue hair boy sitting at the back. "What do you think about Australia?"

Kai opened his eyes, showing their crimson brown depths. He glared at the yellow haired boy talking to him, at the boy hunched over his computer, glasses perched on his head and the blue haired boy talking animatedly to a long black haired boy. He turned back to Max.

"Humph," was all he said. Max sweat-dropped.

"Oh, don't worry about him." Tyson tapped the baseball cap that covered his hair. "He's got issues."

Kai glared at him and Tyson glared back with his navy blue eyes. Ray, seeing this, cut in.

"Um, guys…" he said nervously, orange eyes flashing. "This is no time to fight."

"Ray's got a point," Max nodded.

"Boys, we are here on a vacation," their elderly chaperone, Mr. Dickenson, reminded them.

The jet landed on the runway, stopping the argument. The jet finally stopped and the door opened, unfolding steps leading to the airport.

"A bus is waiting to take us to our hotel." Mr. Dickenson led the way, the Bladebreaker team following behind him.

"Ah… solid ground." Hilary sighed with relief. "Finally."

"Hey, don't blame us Hilary." Tyson shrugged at her. "How were we supposed to know that you get airsick?"

"Maybe that was why she warned us," Max said.

"And that was probably why she didn't talk during the whole plane ride even when you tried to force her to talk with your pranks." Ray shook his head in dismay.

"It was kinda fun while it lasted.' Tyson chuckled. "You should've seen her face when I threw that pillow at her. Or when I pretended to barf in her face. Or when…"

"About those things…" Hilary's voice trailed off, her brown eyes glittering. "I almost forgot about those things. Thanks for reminding me." She cracked her knuckles, smiling evilly. "Payback time."

"Um… I just remembered something." Tyson looked around nervously. "I forgot something on the jet. Gotta run!" With that, he inched away before running straight to the airport.

"Come back here Tyson!" Hilary screeched. "You're not getting away that easily!" She ran off, in pursuit of Tyson. Everyone sweat-dropped.

"Well, that's taken care of." Kai got out of the jet, smirking. "Now we don't need to worry about the two most annoying people in the world."

"That was mean Kai," Max scolded, though his eyes twinkled with amusement.

"Let's go catch up with them before they get lost." Ray nodded towards the two fading figures. "Last one there is a rotten egg!" And he ran off, black hair swishing behind him.

"First one there has to eat it!" Max called back, giggling.

"You coming Kai?" Kenny asked, adjusting his glasses.

"Humph." He crossed his arms over his chest. "I'm too old to play childish games."

"Suit yourself." Max laughed and ran after Ray. "Wait for me!"

"Hey!" Kenny shouted frantically. "I can't run with a computer in my hands!"

"Why don't you just drop me and get it over with," Dizzi remarked sarcastically from inside the laptop. Dizzi or Dizzara, was a bitbeast that was trapped in the computer in a freak power surge.

"I can't do that!" Kenny cried. "All my beyblade stats are in there. Besides, I don't want to lose a good friend."

"Aww…" Dizzi sniffed. "That's so sweet of you Chief/"

Kai walked past them, rolling his eyes. Let then have their mushy moment. But he was not going to stand for such behaviour. He kept on walking, past Mr. Dickenson and headed towards the airport.

When he got there, he saw a very angry Hilary throttling Tyson, Ray smiling triumphantly and an out-of-breath Max.

"You…still…gotta…eat…the…rotten…egg," Max panted out.

"Tch… whatever." Ray grinned at him. "Take a breather."

Kai sat down on one of the benches and closed his eyes. A few minutes later, Kenny and Mr. Dickenson walked in.

"May I have your attention please?" Mr. Dickenson stopped in front of the team. Hilary stopped throttling Tyson to listen. An Australian man stepped from behind Mr. Dickenson. He was wearing safari clothes that blended in with his white blond hair.

"G'day mates! Welcome to Australia!" The man spread his arms wide in welcome. His seemingly cheerful smile didn't reach his icy blue eyes.

Kai narrowed his eyes at the man. This guy couldn't be trusted. He had seen that look before in somebody else's eyes. His grandfather, Voltaire's to be exact.

"My name is Godfrey Stevens," he announced. "I shall be your guide for the duration of the trip. First, I will show you some attractions of Australia. You may also come to me for help. I'm always glad to help." His eyes glittered.

"Now if you would please follow Mr. Stevens, he will give a brief tour of Australia. Than, you may do some sightseeing by yourself." Mr. Dickenson smiled. "I think that I should tag along too Godfrey…"

"That's not necessary Dickenson." Godfrey smirked at the Bladebreakers. "They'll be fine with me. Please, if you would follow my assistant…" He snapped his fingers and a very muscular bodyguard walked up. He cracked his knuckles loudly and Mr. Dickenson could be seen swallowing nervously. He looked back at the Bladebreakers one more time before he reluctantly walked away. Godfrey smiled at the Bladebreakers.

"Well, well, well." He grinned, baring his teeth. "Looks like its just you Bladebreakers and little, old me." He turned around. "Follow me. Your bus awaits."

Yes, yes, I know. I started another ficcy. But most of ideas start off in math class so you can't really blame me. I got a complaint that I'm not writing about the Bladebreakers yet in "Forbidden Fantasies." Lets just say I've got my own reasons for not introducing them yet. I'm probably going to in Chapter 8, I promise. I still need to give more formal introductions about the OC's because if I didn't, you'll start asking questions and I don't want that. Not like I'm saying that you can't ask questions. I just don't want to answer questions that could be answered by writing the story. So, if you really want to read about the Bladebreakers, you can read this and skip Chapter 6 and 7 in my other ficcy. Up to you really. I might mention some really important info in those chapters. Well, I hope you like this new ficcy and remember R&R!
