Outside the Cat Café, Gray is at one side of the Direct Hit Battle arena and Celina stood on the other. He got his Chrome Raven ready as she prepared her Violet Angel. Ilen is the referee of this 3-Round match.

Genny stood at Gray's side of the audience, but then Yamato, Terry (still in the dress), Wiane, Wen, Li, Milanie, Max, and Bull (in his normal ego form) showed up in the audience.

"What the heck?" Ilen was surprised. "How did you guys hear about this?"

Gray shrugged, "I guess they overheard in their rooms."

"Even your rabid crazy fangirl Genny." Celina mentioned. Gray looked at Genny waving at him and he sweatdropped, blushing.

"I do admit, I was HALF asleep when I heard about Celina accepting the offer to B-DaBattle Gray, so Terry and I came to watch." Yamato added. "After I woke him up and told him about it. And please don't tell my mom that we're staying up late!"

"Alright I won't." Ilen understood this situation and decided to let them watch, even though it's past their bedtime, but whatever, I sometimes stay up late too! Haha… Enough about me. Let's get back to the match!

"Now let's begin Round 1! Gray Michael Vincent VS Celina Yuni! Are you B-DaPlayers ready?" Ilen announced.

"Ready!" Gray and Celina said in unison.

"Ready… set…" While Ilen did the countdown, Max covered Genny's mouth just in case she blurts out.

"B-DAFIIIIRE!" They both cried out and started shooting B-DaBalls at each other's B-Daman but all of them missed so far, then Celina called out her ultimate un-named attack (she needs a name for it) and shot at Gray's B-Daman. He flew back and got back up.

"You're much harder than I thought, Celi." Gray said.

Celina giggled. "Don't mention it."

"Gray 0! Celina 1! Round 2! Ready… set…" Ilen called out.

"B-DAFIIIRE!" They shot B-DaBalls once more, then Gray used his rapidfiring technique to actually directly hit Violet Angel, in which it worked. She flew back and got up. "I didn't expect that! But I remembered that it was used when you battled Ilen!"

"It was a great technique I came up with." Gray tightened his Chrome Raven.

"Gray 1! Celina 1! Round 3! Are you B-DaPlayers rea-"

Suddenly, an older guy with old-fashioned clothes and a cape jumped down from the Cat Café roof. He has long, dark blue hair up in a ponytail. Almost everyone, even Ilen and Celina, recognized him: it's Jou!

"Hey, I heard there's a B-DaBattle going on at night! Aren't you guys sleeping by now?" Jou asked cheerfully.

"Uhhh not really for this night. And it's nice to see you again, Jou! How'd you get here?" Celina said.

Jou explained that he was traveling across the most-known B-DaWorld area from Tsubakura City and he went all the way to Catoon randomly. He did hear a B-DaBattle going on while he's around so he stopped by. Just as he explained, he noticed his closest friend, Terry, in the dress. He became really shocked like "WHAT THE HELL" and speechless.

"Umm, Terry? Why are you wearing that?" Jou asked his seemingly little brother. Like the relationship between Ilen and Celina as apparently close sisters even though they're not even related by blood, Terry and Jou had the same brotherly relationship even though they're not blood-related either.

"D-Don't ask…" Terry nervously answered.

"Aren't we gonna finish this match right now?" Gray changed the subject.

"Oh, yeah!" Ilen went back in referee position. "Are you B-DaPlayers ready?"

"Ready!" Gray and Celina said in unison.

"Ready… set…"

"B-DAFIIIRE!" They shot out B-Daballs again and also dodged each others' attacks. Celina tried to do the rapidfiring technique, but the problem is she wasn't skilled with that yet because it's so new to her, so she started slumping. This gave Gray a chance to build in his B-DaPower and shot out at Celina's B-Daman, which directed hit it and she blew back further than last time. She sat up and rubbed the back of her head.

"The match is over! And the winner is Gray Michael Vincent!" Ilen announced. The audience cheered for Gray's victory.

"Ugh… I shouldn't have done that right away…" Celina grunted at herself.

Gray calmly came to Celina and offered his hand to help her get up, but by that moment Genny was hugging him tightly, screaming out "OH MY GOD MY GWAYKINS WON! HE WON!" and snuggling to his soft brown poncho with red patterns on it.

"Were you trying to use my rapidfiring technique on that final round?" Gray asked. Celina nodded. "It does take a lot of practice, so I'll teach you have to perform it more effectively sometime, but for now, since this match is over, we should go back to sleep. Goodnight." Gray walked back inside, but lagged because genny's still hugging him. "Please let go of me! You're slowing me down!"

"Oh, sorry!" Genny let go of him and they both went inside. The rest got back inside too. Celina and Ilen chatted as they're also walked intside and to their room.

"The rapidfiring technique looks so cool! I wanna learn how to use it right!" Celina cheered.

"And next time, never use any techniques you barely trained with yet." Ilen added.

"You're right about that, but I knew."

"Let's just go to bed for tomorrow, I thought of something fun to do!"

"Like what?"

"it's gonna be hot outside tomorrow! And you'll see."

"Alright." Celina said. They're in their room now. "Goodnight Ilen."

"Goodnight to you too."

They both turned off the lights and fell asleep for the new day Ilen has planned for. Unfortunately, Jou had to leave to go travel on his own.

In the next day, after the B-DaGang ate breakfast, Ilen told everyone that they should go to the beach somewhere from Catoon. They packed their lunches and traveled for 1 hour, and they finally made it to a beautiful beach by traveling with the Mobile Cat Café.

"Ah! Isn't it nice out? Best day to go to this refreshing getaway!" Ilen said. She wore only her swimming trunks, but that's okay, she's flat-chested for now, so her chest area is exactly like a boy's.

"WHY are you wearing that again?" Celina asked.

"Cause I can." Ilen smirked.

Meanwhile…

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY SWIMMING TRUNKS WENT MISSING?" Terry bursted out from the inside of the building. He's in his usual clothes.

"I don't know what to tell you though, but I found this from somewhere… you can wear it for now." Mie tells him and offers him a yellow 2-piece bikini with a translucent skirt attached to the panty part of the bikini. The top is tight and strapless, but not shaped like most bikinis, more that the bikini top for young girls instead of teenage girls.

"…Do I have to? Alright then…" Terry was displeased, but this swimsuit was the only thing available for him, so of course, he puts it on.

Celina, Ilen, Yamato, Bull, Gray, and all of the others are playing a water gun fights and/or playing with a beach ball while all of them are in the shallow edge of the lake. Only Liena was out of the water and laying on her towel trying to get a tan, then Mie came next to her to do the same. Wiane, Celina, Genny, and Milanie then joined Liena and Mie. Terry, however, was hiding behind a palm tree from everyone, wearing the swimsuit.

"How can I even show up in this?" Terry whispered to himself. He thinks it really is like almost 100 degrees outside so it's best for him to stay in the shade until he was noticed by one of his friends. He'll shove any random idiots off if he doesn't know them at all and still hide.

Meanwhile, other random people around their age are at the beach too. A few girls checked out Ilen from the distance, but she didn't realize that, she was just having fun with the boys.
