Author's note:
Gah! Good reviews! Wa-hoo! Im glad you guys liked it! Mwahahahahahaha!
Believe me it gets better! Now im not one for spoilers but lets just say it
has a guest appearance from Shippu..in fact once I introduce him, he'll be
a regular cast member!
Ray was packing his bags to go home so he wouldn't have to do it later, in 2 days, he would see Mariah. He was in America with the other breakers for Max's birthday. However, his mind was on other things.
'I wonder if she thinks of me.' he wandered to himself. Ever since he left the White Tigers, they had been distant. The only thing he retained from Mariah was the trust. Even though he left the white tigers, she had the chance to blab his secret to the world, but instead she kept it.
"Was it because I kept your secret, or did you care about me?" he asked himself.
(Ray's past):
'Poor Mariah. That hose trick Kevin played on her, didn't amuse her. She had to walk around the village as a boy to find hot water. Luckily, she looks a lot different when she's turned into a he, so nobody recognised her.' He thought to himself as he took a walk in the forest.
"I'll need to get her an extra best present for her birthday!" he smiled.
Ray wasn't the only one fond of Mariah, Ray's parents were set on them getting married one day, but whenever they brought it up Ray would just ignore them. It's true he REALLY liked her, but he wasn't ready for marriage talk. He wasn't even sure if she liked him back yet. Rays thoughts were interrupted.
"Hello young man." Said a sweet old woman.
"Oh, Urm, hello."
"So what's your name sonny?"
"Ray, ma'am."
"Taking a walk to clear your thoughts young man?"
"Something like that."
"Why don't you come inside my house for some soup, it'll refresh you."
Ray thought for a moment, and then he smiled, nodded, and followed her to her house. (Poor white tigers! So trusting!)
-Mariah's-POV-
Girl Mariah walked around the village. She had to run all the way home to find hot water to turn her back.
"Hey Mariah, back to normal I see." Lee called from his porch. Mariah turned with a frown. Kevin's joke had her sweating buckets.
"So where is everyone?" she asked while approaching him.
"well, Gary's taking cooking lessons from his mum, Kevin's petrified of you so he's hiding in his room, and Ray decided to take a walk in the forest." He informed.
"Alone?! Are you forgetting what happened to me when I was alone in the forest?" she squealed. Lee's eyes widened as he realised what Mariah had just said. Therefore, they both took off to the forest, surly if this old woman was the one who curses handsome boys and pretty girls, Ray was a target no doubt.
-Rays-POV-
"Well young man, do you like this special homemade soup I made? It truly is, one of a kind." She smiled.
"Oh yes! It's delicious! But I think I'm getting a bit of a headache.I wish I knew why, I felt fine before."
"Don't worry young man, it'll pass."
"How do you know?" he asked in a curious tone.
"Because, when dozed with my potion, it always gives the person a headache." She cackled. Ray immediately stopped sipping the soup, he then slapped his head as he realised what Mariah had said about meeting an old woman, and drinking her homemade drink, only this time, Ray was dozed with soup. Ray then did a manly thing, he ran out the cottage screaming at the top of his lungs.very heroic! (A/N: bear in mind, ray's only about 5-7yrs old, his muscles are pea sized about now!)
Mariah and Lee had been searching in the forest for Ray for sometime now, until they heard a screaming sound, which sounded like Ray. Before they had a chance to react, they both were knocked over by a hysterical Ray. Mariah quickly recovered from initial shock; she jumped up and lifted lee and ray up from the ground.
"Ray! Please tell me you didn't drink anything!" Mariah emphasised the 'please'. Ray looked at the ground.
"I, I.had some soup." He said in an ashamed tone.
'How could he forget such a thing?!' lee and Mariah both thought as they sweat dropped.
All three of them walked into the white tiger village, and went inside Lee's house again. It was sort of their headquarters or something.
Lee got a jug of cold water and held it above Rays head.
"Lee, what are you doing?" he asked frantically.
"Sorry dude, but it's the only way to find out what you're cursed with." Lee poured the cold water over him.
Lee and Mariah's eyes widened as they saw what Ray was turning into. Lee was trying his hardest not to burst into laughter, while Mariah had fallen in love with what he had turned into.
"W, what a cute little kitty!" she gleamed.
The ray cat turned his head side ways to look at her in confusion. Mariah picked him up and snuggled him close. And if it was possible, the Ray cat began to blush and purr at her.
"Remember Mariah, that's Ray not a regular cat." Lee reminded.
"But, he's so cute!" she smiled as she cradled him in her arms.
Which was understandable, Ray really was a cute little cat! He was completely black and had a spiky fringe. Yet, his hair was still in a long ponytail, and he still wore his ying-yang headband.
Lee couldn't stand Mariah giving 'kitty Ray' so much attention, so he walked out the room with the jug to go get some hot water. Mariah didn't notice, she was too busy showering Ray with affection, and Ray loved every minute of it.
'She's so cute! Maybe this cat-thing isn't so bad after all!' he thought.
Yet again, Lee interrupted their little moment by pouring boiling water over him. This caused him to meow from shock due to the heat. With that, he turned back into 'boy Ray'.
"Well, now we know what you turn into, and in this case, we won't be doing it again!"
On-The-Way-Home
It was getting late so Ray walked Mariah home.
"Are you alright Ray?" Mariah asked concerned. Ray looked in Mariah's eyes to see tears welling up in them. He reached his hand forwards and wiped them away.
"I'm alright Mariah, but why are you crying?"
"I should have been there, but I was too late, and now you're cursed, like me." She said glumly.
"Honestly, the only thing that had me worried was the old woman, MAJOR freaky! But I don't call being held by you a curse!" he grinned. Mariah blushed a deep pink.
'Just like Ray!' she thought. 'He always knows how to turn a bad situation around.'
Ray stood on Mariah's doorstep as they said goodnight, but not before giving her a goodnight kiss. Mariah then promised that she would keep his secret if he promised to always keep hers. And with that, the pledge was made.
(End Rays Past):
"And she did keep my promise, just like I kept hers." He smiled, just as Kai walked in the hotel room they were sharing.
"Hey Kai! You know, I don't think I can recall where it was you said you were going after Max's birthdays over." He said abruptly in attempt to purge his thoughts of Mariah.
"That's because I never told you in the first place." He sighed as he lay back on his bed.
"I'm sorry Kai, I wasn't thinking. What with Voltaire being charged, you don't have anybody..hey! Why don't you come back to the village with me? I know you'll feel uncomfortable, but you can stay there for a few days at least." he suggested. Kai laid in silence, he wanted to go with Ray, but he didn't want to appear weak or desperate in some way. Therefore, Ray took his silence as a yes.
"Great! Well in that case, I'll go ask Mr.Dickenson to get you a plane ticket to Asia, but make sure your bags are packed in 2 days!" Ray ran out the hotel room to look for Mr.Dickenson, leaving a confused, yet pleased Kai.
"Asia, eh?" he muttered. His attention then drew to the picture on the draws beside Ray's bed. Kai picked it up and examined it closely. It was a picture of Ray and The White Tigers at the Russian tournament. Without realising it his sight was drawn To Mariah. She was smiling sweetly with her eyes closed. She always looked pretty when she smiled. Kai felt his heart beat fast, just like when he met her for the first time in Asia, and Russia. She had that effect on him which made him say the most stupid things, like 'are you here to talk or beyblade?' and then he took her prized Galux away from her. He stopped when he realised what he was doing and put the picture on the draws upside down to prevent him from looking.
"Asia, that means.she'll be there."
Authors Note: dun, dun, DUN! Dramatic pause :P !!!!
Well, next chappie, its Kai's turn! Well kai's will take 2-3 chaptors for im to change, but its worth it :D Mwahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!...what shall happen?
And thanks to because they've given me an idea for another story (Which I've finished typing the 1st chapter, but I won't put it up till ive finished updating ALL my stories)

'Greener on the other side'
The guys talk about how easy it must be for the girls and vice versa, but little do they realise that they are going to find out what each others lives are REALLY like!
Yes, I'm ebil!
