NMN: Hello and welcome to the next chapter of That`s My Life! Is the fic getting boring? Please review and tell me if so. Anyway, on with the chapter.

~~~^^^CHAPTER 3^^^~~~

It had been 3 days since Tyson and Hilary shared their first with each other. They were too shy to look at each other for most of the time. But every time they did look at each other, they blushed a bright red. No one really noticed because they were all so dense. They really didn`t want their teammates to know about their relationship; at least not yet. The couple wanted to let the guys figure it out for themselves. Tyson and Hilary even pretended to argue just to keep it going. But every time they were alone, they would always laugh at their act jobs. It wasn`t hard for them to pretend, seeing as how they had argued so many times before.

But even though Tyson and Hilary were a lot closer, Tyson still didn`t tell her or the guys about what was going on. The dream Tyson had been repeating every night, and he continuously had woken up early, fresh cold sweat always on his face. Tyson began to really get sick of the daily routine.

The next day was a lousy one. It was raining out and they weren`t aloud to practice inside the dojo according to Tyson`s grandpa. He didn`t want his precious dojo getting scratches and smears all over the floor and walls. The Blade Breakers had nothing to do. They waited inside the stuffy training room. But Tyson was missing from the group, as was Hilary. Max, Ray, Kenny and Kai were all getting suspicious. They were finally catching on.

Tyson and Hilary told them they were going to go to the store and get some stuff. How dense were their friends? The young couple snuck out to have fun at the mall. It was a great relief from beyblading and the stress Tyson was under about his problem.

~~~^^^Tyson and Hilary at the mall^^^~~~

Tyson and Hilary made an agreement at the beginning of the mall excursion. (They agreed? It`s the wonder of the century!) Tyson said he`d follow Hilary around for an hour, but then she would have to follow him. Then after that, they would both agree to do one thing. Hilary thought it was a great idea. She had the perfect place to go to. Clothes shopping! The Grade 8 Graduation Dance was coming up and Hilary needed to find a dress to wear. She she took the opportunity to go find one. Especially, since Tyson was there, she could ask his opinion, since she wanted to ask him to the dance.

Tyson had protested about going into the store, but Hilary reminded him of the agreement they made.

``Come on, Tyson! You promised.``

``But I wasn`t expecting you`d drag me here!``

``Just come on!``

Tyson paled when he saw it, but steeled himself and stepped over the threshold. Any man would applaud him for his bravery this day, for taking a woman shopping usually meant something like this, yet they never really prepared for it. WomenÕs clothing store. Shivering slightly, Tyson took a hesitant look around the shop and almost winced at the brightness of it all. Hilary was tugging at his arm and pointing out various items she wouldnÕt mind having. Ugh! Tyson was lucky that this was the lowest part of the day.

Hilary could see Tyson was getting a bit bored by this, but he did promise after all. Still it was rather funny seeing him looking so uncomfortable in his surroundings. And feeling uncomfortable at the stares he was getting from the other girls in the store. He was attractive, very attractive. Hilary looked at many different clothes. But she didn`t really like most of them. That was until she saw the most beautiful dress ever. It was a black dress with a strap on the left shoulder, but a long sleeve on the other. It fell to the ground but only kissed it lightly. The hems at the top of the dress were outlined in small diamonds. (This is a dress I designed for class and I thought it would be good for the story.)

`It`s beautiful!` Hilary thought as she had fallen in love. She picked the dress off the hook and held it up to her. It looked like would`ve fit her nicely.

``Tyson, I`m going to try this on.`` Hilary dragged him over to near the changing rooms so he could tell her his opinion as soon as she had it on. Tyson sighed, but at least he wasn`t among the clothing any more, or the other girls.

It took her a few minutes, but Hilary finally came out of the stall, wear the gorgeous dress.

`I wonder if he`ll like it?` Hilary thought to herself as she spun around for Tyson to see.

Tyson`s mouth fell open at the sight of Hilary in the dress. His eyes grew wide as the stunningly beautiful girl stood before him. Hilary easily noticed this, but knew there was only one way to find out if he really thought that way about the dress, or if he was just being nice.

``Well, what do you think?`` Hilary asked with uncertainty in her voice. Tyson`s mouth closed, shaking his head so he get out of his dreamland.

``It looks good,,, very good!`` Tyson answered. He wanted to say that she looked `stunningly, amazingly, and beautifully gorgeous`, but he couldn`t form the words. Tyson suddenly noticed the smile crossing Hilary`s face. It was the same smile she saved for Tyson and no one else. Hilary ran into Tyson`s arms and hugged him tightly. Tyson, after recovering from the shock, wrapped his arms around her and hugged her back.

``I`ll just be right back. I gotta go change.`` Hilary went back into the stall and changed back into her normal attire. But when she was putting the dress back onto the hook, she took a look at the price tag and screamed.

``NNNOOOOOOOOOOO!`` Hilary`s scream could`ve been heard across the whole mall. Tyson ran into the room, trying to find out what happened.

``Hilary what hap,,, uh-oh.`` Tyson had just stepped in when Hilary only had her bra and underwear on.

``TYSON!`` Hilary yelled at him, throwing random items at him like hangers and baskets. Tyson covered his eyes and told Hilary to stop attacking him.

``Hilary, what happened? Why`d you scream?`` Tyson asked once he had Hilary calm again. She was changing while Tyson had his back to Hilary so he didn`t look at her.

``It`s the dress.`` Hilary pointed to it. Tyson examined the dress to find something wrong with it while Hilary finished changing.

Hilary walked over to Tyson, fully clothed again, and took the dress. Tyson followed her when he noticed she placed it back onto the hook it was originally on. Hilary lowered her head, disappointed that she wasn`t able to get the dress. Hilary walked out of the store, with Tyson close behind.

``Hilary, why didn`t you buy the dress? It looked amazing on you.`` Tyson asked, wondering why Hilary looked so depressed.

``It was too expensive.`` she said it plainly, as if the dress didn`t matter anymore.

``Aw man, I`m sorry Hil.`` Tyson wrapped his arms around Hilary from behind her. Hilary stopped walking and leaned her head on Tyson`s shoulder, like it was a pillow and they just stood there for a few minutes.

``Okay Tyson, it`s your turn. Where do you wanna go?`` Hilary asked, now scared as Tyson had a grin on his face.

``Well, first we`re going to a music store, then the food court.`` Tyson answered, a cheery tone present in his voice. Tyson hadn`t eaten normally for a while, so he was very hungry.

``I should`ve known better.`` Hilary said, giving a sigh. ``But I don`t mind the music store, and I`m a bit hungry myself. Okay, let`s go.`` Hilary actually agreed with Tyson`s choices of where to go! Hilary thought was getting sick or something. But she followed anyway.

The bright cd cases blinded Hilary. Tyson was already deep in the store looking for different cd`s. Tyson looked back a few times to see a few guys giving looks at Hilary and he noticed she looked a little uncomfortable when they were checking her out. Tyson was getting pretty pissed off. No one had the right to look at Hilary like that. Hilary must`ve read his mind, because she got sick of the guys looking at her, so she ran up to Tyson, grabbing onto his vest tightly. Tyson wrapped a protective arm around Hilary and they walked around the store together, so no one would think they were both single. They still weren`t a big couple, but they still didn`t want anyone looking at the like that.

Tyson continued his search through the store. He saw the rock, pop, and jazz sections, but he was looking for hip-hop. One of the things no one really new about Tyson was that not only was he a world class blader, but he had won a couple break dancing competitions. Tyson needed some new music to practice to. Case after case after case of searching, Tyson still couldn`t find a cd that was good enough. But soon before he almost gave up, Hilary noticed one of those head sets, where people can listen to the music as a sample.

``Maybe you could use these.`` Hilary proposed, wanted to help Tyson find what he was looking for.

``Worth a shot I guess.`` Tyson took off his baseball hat and handed it to Hilary.

``Why are you giving me your hat?`` Hilary asked.

``The hat gets in the way and the speakers can`t reach my ears if my hat`s on.`` Tyson slid the head phones over his head and turned the player to one of the hip-hop cd`s in the track. Tyson listened to a few of the songs and thought it was a pretty good cd. As Tyson was listening to the cd, Hilary looked at his hat and noticed something she had before. There was a few red stains on the rim of the hat. At first, she thought it was some food that Tyson might`ve spilled onto it, but when she looked a bit closer at it, it looked a lot like blood.

``Hilary! Earth to Hilary!`` Hilary snapped out of her trance, realizing Tyson wanted his hat back.

``Oh, sorry Tyson.`` Hilary handed the hat to Tyson.

``Don`t worry about it.`` Tyson said as he placed the hat back onto his head. Tyson then turned towards the rack and was about to grab the cd, but then he had a thought. Tyson recoiled his hand and walked away from the racks. Hilary looked at him quizzingly, wondering why he didn`t by it. Hilary ran up beside Tyson, trying to keep up with him.

``Tyson why didn`t you buy the cd?`` Hilary asked him. Hilary noticed Tyson had a grin on his face that meant he had a plan somewhere in that mind of his.

``Don`t worry about it Hilary.`` Tyson said coolly, placing both his hands in his pockets and looking down at Hilary, a genuine smile on his face. Hilary thought she should just drop the subject. Instead, she wrapped her arm around his and rested her head on Tyson`s shoulder. They both walked until they reached their next destination: The food court!

~~~^^^Kenny, Max, Ray and Kai^^^~~~

``What the hell could be taking them so long?`` Ray was getting really hungry and furious.

``You don`t actually believe they went to a store, do?`` Kai asked, not believing his teammates didn`t figure out what was going on between Tyson and Hilary.

``What do you mean, Kai?`` Max asked, curious as to what Kai meant. Kai sat in disbelief, a sweat drop forming on his head.

``Morons.`` Kai mumbled under his breath the pathetic insult.

~~~^^^At the food court^^^~~~

Tyson and Hilary ordered their food and had taken a seat near a giant pot that had a palm tree in it. The tree grew as high as the glass roof. You could see the clouds floating overhead and the rain coming down, as if they were going to hit your face. The only reason Tyson and Hilary sat behind the pot was because it was so big that no one could see them. Tyson still wasn`t as hungry as he always was and neither was Hilary, so they just got a sundae each. (I`m writing it like it was back in the 50`s, when couples shared those in diners. I`m getting pathetic. -_-;) Tyson wasn`t paying much attention. He was resting his head in his hand and was slowly eating his ice cream, while staring off into space.

Tyson`s mind traveled back to the dreams he`d been having.

`What is the deal?` Tyson questioned his mind over and over what it meant and where he had seen that stuff before, but it was no use. Tyson couldn`t remember anything.

Hilary and Tyson didn`t talk for a while and just ate most of their ice cream. But soon, Hilary couldn`t eat anymore.

``Tyson, you want my ice cream?`` Hilary asked, but Tyson didn`t answer her. Hilary didn`t like being ignored. Then, she got an idea, an awful idea. (The Grinch, yah! Hehehe!) Hilary picked up her spoon and spooned a little ice cream into it. She took aim, and,,,

``FIRE!`` Hilary launched her ice cream right onto the side of Tyson`s face. Tyson glanced over at Hilary, a devilish look on his face. Tyson took his middle and index fingers and spooned out a chunk of chocolate and smeared it on Hilary`s nose.

``It looks like you got a mud treatment.`` Tyson joked as he lightly chuckled at the girl`s appearance. Hilary was getting annoyed. She grabbed the chocolate syrup bottle and squirted it a Tyson`s face.

``Haha! Hm,,, uh-oh!`` Hilary began to get a little scared.

``Okay, now it`s war!`` Tyson and Hilary threw different toppings and sauces at each other, neither showing any sign of mercy. But they didn`t show any sign of anger either. They were just having fun.
