A/N: I was bored!

Disclaimer: If I owned Beyblade, the world would change… dramatically.

Summary: Knowledge about Beyblades was things Kenny was good at but girls? Hilary wanted to change that! With evil schemes and plots brewed in her twisted mind, she secretly set up a date for Kenny. Let's count Kenny's panic attacks shall we?

Chapter 1: Dating 101…ish

"ARGH!"

And this was how commotion at the Granger residence began.

"What did you do?" Kenny screamed, sprawled out on the floor. He couldn't believe the words that came out of Hilary's mouth. His world was over. Amen.

"Why are you making a big deal about this?" Hilary countered with arms crossed. "It's for your own good."

Hilary stared daggers at Kenny aka Chief who had superb computer skills but he lacked in social skills. She knew it was up to her to set him on a… date. It was the one thing he feared most. The fear of talking to a girl one on one… Oh he could feel his stomach doing flips as he thought of worse case scenarios. There he pictured it; awkward silences or… more awkward silences. He feared he'd make a fool of himself (which was a possibility!) in front of her. But wait, who's the mysterious girl he was to go out with? Sure he knew a couple of girls: Hilary, Mariah, Julia, Emily, Queen, Ming-Ming. He shuddered. And of course he could talk with any one of them (except Ming-Ming) directly about beyblades and beybattles. Those were normal.

"W-Who did you pair me up with?" Kenny asked shivering like an autumn leaf.

"It's a surprise!"

"Oh come on, what's the big deal?" heads turned to the reigning world champion. "It's not a big deal! Don't sweat it."

"Don't sweat it… don't sweat it?" Kenny was hyperventilating. "Tyson you know as well as anybody else how I am when I'm nervous!"

"Yeah, yeah, sure," Tyson yawned dismissing his friend's dilemma. "Besides Chief, you should relax."

"I can't… I feel sick…" Kenny collapsed.

Hilary sighed. Daichi crawled over to the body of Kenny poking the poor boy with a stick. Who would have thought a genius such as Kenny would be terrified on going on a date? This was going to take some work!

When Kenny came back to his senses, he thought all of this was a bad dream. Looking around, he was still at Tyson's house in the dojo. Why was everybody around him? This morning it was just Tyson, Daichi, Hilary and himself. Why was Rei… no wait, why was Kai here? What was this? Kenny began to have a panic attack, round two. Hilary pat him on the back startling the poor boy.

"To help you with this, Rei has agreed to share some pointers with you!" Hilary felt extremely proud of herself! This was going to go off without a hitch! Oh she wanted to pat herself on the back but that could wait.

"P-Pointers…?"

Hilary massaged Kenny's shoulders. "Ouff, don't pretend you don't know; Rei and Mariah have gone out since… forever!"

"Correction: until recently." Rei added. Hilary rolled her eyes as he continued, "There's nothing to be afraid of, Kenny. Just go with the flow."

"But I'm a stick in the mud! No wait, I want to be a stick in the mud! You guys can't do this to me! How am I supposed to 'go with the flow' when I'm not sure who I'm going out with?"

"Just be yourself! You don't have to act like someone you're not." Rei reassured with a smile. "Although I would recommend this: don't go on a tangent about beyblades. I'm sure your date would like to hear other things as well."

"But the only thing I know is about beyblades, Rei!"

Rei nodded, "I know but be open to new ideas that may suddenly interest you."

"I guess that's a start…"

Rei nodded again. He saw the change in Kenny's thinking… slightly. He was sure the genius could adapt to new situations… eventually. Throughout the rest of the afternoon, the rest of the team (excluding Kai) gave Kenny several tips and tricks. Everybody's input was useful except Tyson and Daichi's. Clearly both of them had no idea what they were talking about until Hilary smacked them both over the head.

Close to eight, Kenny walked home frowning. What did he get himself into? After much thought and deliberation, he finally agreed to go on this date… Of course if he didn't do what he was told, he'd suffer hell from Hilary. Kicking a stone, what was he supposed to talk about? Beyblades? That was the only topic he knew by heart! It was a funny thought but before he left, he remembered Kai giving him advice: believe in yourself. That was it. Ugh, Kenny rubbed his cheeks, tomorrow was going to be a long, painful day…

"Someone… save me!"
