**Sorry that the last chapter was so short.**

Her P.O.V.:

Oh my goodness! This has been a intense tournement. We won by the way. The White Tigers are one hell of a tough team. And I like this team, they have a girl. She has pink hair and wears a bow that makes her look like she has cat ears. I think there is something between her and Rei, but since he left their team they grew a little distant. Butttt, I think they are close again. They sure were making gaga eyes at each other. 'Caaan you feel the looove tooonight...' Is now stuck in my head.

Anyways, since we won. We are now off to the States for the American Tournement. I'm looking out our plane window as we fly over the ocean. Tyson is groaning about a tummy ache, Kenny is poking fun at him, Max is lost in the view of the ocean as well, and Hilary is having a nap. Rei Decided to meet us in New York. I wonder what challenges face us in the USA. I'm excited, I hope it was just as fun as the Chinese tournement.

Once we're landed and settled in, A BBA coach bus comes and picks us up, with Rei waiting inside. Aparently, Rei made arrangements for us to get a tour of the BPA Research head qauters. Didn't even know there were such places. I catch a glimps of my nightmears. Is it the place that huants me? I shake my head and stare out the window and just zone out at the landscape.

It doesn't take us more then a half hour to reach the BPA head qaurters. You couldn't miss it. Its the only building for miles, plus, its shaped like a giant bey blade. Kenny falls in love with the sight of it and starts babbling about this being his dream job. I chuckle at the boy as we enter the front lobby. A guy in a lab coat takes us on a tour. I didn't pay attention to what he was saying. I was busy looking around. We come to a stop at a spot where you can over look the training section. A flash back plays in my head. A moment when I defeted a lavender hair boy. I shake my head and advert my attention towards two ladies walking towards us. I raise my brow, wondering who they could be. I hear Max pipe up. "Mom?" I look back at Max and then back at the blond lady. Max sounded hurt. He looks hurt and confused as I look at him again. I go back to watch the bladers, sorta listening to their conversation. I perk up a bit at the mention of a beyblade challenge. Max, Rei and Tyson have all decided that they will show how spirit is better then...I'm not really sure what they are trying to prove. Guess I'll sit with Hilary while Kenny gets his data from the battle.

I think I was the only one to think that BPA place was boring. At least we know what we're sorta going to be up against in this tournement. Max hasn't said much since we got back to the hotel. He looks lost in thought. I feel bad for him. The others are all busy chatting away, and Max just stares out of the balcony window. "Hey, Max." He looks at me with big sad blue eyes. My heart melts. Its hard to see someone that is usually so full of life, look so down. "Lets go out for some fresh air." He nods and follows me out on to the balcony. He rests against the balcony railing and stares up at the sky. Its got the pinky tinge from the sun setting. I sat in one of the chairs and just watched him. I don't know what to say. I don't want to pry, but I hate seeing him like this. "Why didn't she tell me?" Max said, just above a whisper. I stare at him with saddness in my eyes. "I'm not sure. Maybe she wanted to, but was so busy that she got side tracked?" Max sighed. "Still could have made time to tell her son. Or you'd think she would." I stood up and walked over to Max and rubbed his back and thought 'At least your mom didn't ship you off to boarding school.' "Max, don't let it get to you." I smiled at him. "You're surronded by friends. And we will show your Mom's team that we're the best. And no matter what sort of training that they go trough there, our team will always be better. We have team work on our side." He smiled slightly at me and then laughed that cheerful laugh of his. The one that brightens up a dull room. "You're right." He ran back inside and over to the others. I'm sure there was a mention of Pizza.

-End of the week.-

Ohh man! Another one in the bag. Max and his mom made up. She told him how proud of she was. I felt a pang of jealousy. I wish my mom was proud of me.

Anyways. Max beat Emily, which all that really matters. She was way too snobby for my likes. They Bladebreakers finally seen some more of what I can do as I beat Eddie. It was a piece of cake. And Tyson showed Micheal who was boss. It was a 3-0 win. Way to go team!

Kenny Just announced that Mr. D emailed him. He told us that Mr. Dickenson has decided to book us on a cruise. We have a month till our next tournament...In Russia. I feel myself tense. What am I afraid of? My nightmears? Or of them being real? I hope they are not focus on the cruise and relax. I put on a fake smile. "We get to relax!" Kenny shot that down as fast as lightening. "It gives us time to catch up on training." We all sigh.

Hilary and I get a room with a sea view balcony, the guys on the other hand get a room with no windows. It's Tyson and Kenny in one room and Max and Rei in the other. I haven't seen the guys since we got on the cruise. Hilary and I decided that we should go and check out the pool. We get on our suits and grab our towles. To our surprise, Max was already in the pool. Hil and I work on our tans, until we see Kenny and Tyson. Kenny is feeling sea sick and decided to put us to work on training. I sigh with Max and Tyson. Hilary laughs as she gets to keep on tanning. Rei runs way, saying its not good to work out after a meal. Tyson and I are to run laps and Max is to do some weight training.

Tyson and I were on our 10th lap when he got distracted by a arcade with a beyblade dish in the back of it. There was broken blades all over the floor. I look at the floor and then at Tyson. He has his fist clenched and a angry look on his face. He looks at me as he asks "Who could do such a thing?" I shake my head and look back at the ground at all the broken blade pieces. When I look back up, I notice Tyson has gone off and confronted someone. I mentally groan 'Here we go.' I walk over to Tyson and get a look at the guy he is arguing with.

"Robert?" The name passed my lips before I even had a chance to let Tyson finish his blabbering. Tyson looks at me as if he just found out I was a Martian. "You know this dude?" I nod slowly at him. "We go to the same boarding school." Robert grows impatient with us and begins to walk away, which captures the attention of Tyson. "Hey!" He yells after Robert. "I challenge you, what you did to these kids blades isn't right. I will put a stop to you." Robert snorts and looks over his shoulder at Tyson with a smirk. "You don't stand a chance." He walks back to the dish, both guys take a stance and ready thier blades. They launch their blades into the dish and begin clashing. Kenny pops up next to me in record time. Clearly out of breath and hurriedly opens his laptop, getting Dizzy to record the battle. Kenny is just in time to catch data on Robert's bit beast. It was HUGE! I think he called it Griffolyon. And as soon as it appeared, the battle was over.

Max and Rei came running in to the arcade as Tyson's blade flew from the dish. Robert caught his and then walked off, muttering about something being a waste of time. We all rush to Tyson's side, making sure he is alright . Kenny picks up Tyson's blade. He says we can have the rest of the evening off and that he was going to fix up Tyson's blade.
