~Storm of Kenya's Rainy-Season (Prt II)~ (chap 12)

Max + Chloie *Day 3*

The three had made there way safely to the far side of Emerald wood. They had made quick progress, for Shadow had sensed the storm in advance, and woke them in the middle of the night. They would have to wait patiently for the rest. They feared for the worst, the storm was at it's peek. Harsh brisk rain whisked down, as Max and Chloie sat at a table in a restaurant, Shadow calmly sleeping at their feet. One pair from the Raiders had arrived too, The Odyssey team and The Raiders were at a tie now, but this contest would grow much challenging as time drew on.

"Oooh, I do hope the others are okay...." Chloie said worriedly, glancing out into the vast storm.

"They'll be fine.." Max smiled holding her hands for comfort.

"Max! I don't care if we win, I just want them home safe!" Chloie was becoming more agitated.

"They will come back...I wouldn't worry about a thing..." Max said calmly.

"Why do you say that?" Chloie asked curiously.

"Well, Kai know's how to handle himself, and I'm sure he'll watch over Kleo, he may not be fond of girls, but he wont let one die, although they may quarrel here and there due to Kai's harsh attitude, but I have no worry's for them....Ray and Mariah, I can't even worry about them, with their cat like skills, and their ability to handle situations well, I suspect, they are perfectly fine! But it's Tyson and Bailey who worry me.." Max sighed.

"Why?!?!" Gasped Chloie in worry, "Can't they handle the storm??"

"Oh no, the storm gives me no worry's. If anything Bailey is suffering from Tyson's whining. And Tyson is suffering from a black eye" Max chuckled, "If anything, Tyson would die due to Bailey. Besides the fact, that he'll complain the whole way about his stomach...and food!"

"Good point!" Chloie chuckled, Max always knew how to make her feel better, and his smile was so contagious. She then leaned over and kissed Max, for a few seconds before unlocking their lips, "Thanks Max..." She smiled.

Max blushed at the kiss, "Hey I like making you laugh..." He grinned.

"Why's that?" Chloie frowned still smiling.

"Cause I'm always rewarded," He laughed, kissing her again, causing her to giggle too.

"What are we going to tell the others?" Chloie said looking up at Max, holding his hands tighter.

Max shrugged, "Who cares!" and with that he kissed her again. Then he kissed her hands softly, then put them back down on the table.

"And Shadow?" Chloie smiled evilly almost expecting what to hear from Max.

"Uh, that could be a problem!" Max laughed nervously, as he felt Shadow's tail swish at his feet. Shadow just purred underneath the table.



(Ray + Mariah *Day 3*)

They had been walking all afternoon when Mariah notice the weather change.

"Ray..." Mariah said looking up at the clouds, as rain began to kiss her face.

"Let's keep going, Emerald Wood is in sight!" Called Ray from over his shoulder.

"It's still gunna be awhile, and the rain will only slow us down!" Mariah called forward., the wind was picking up, and they soon had to yell to each other to hear one another's voices.

"Common Mariah!" Ray hissed, grabbing her arm and pulling her along.

Mariah staggered to keep up with him, "Slow down Ray.."

But Ray just kept on running harder and faster.

"RAY!!" Mariah gasped as she briskly pulled him back, just moments before a lighting bolt hit where he was previously standing. Mariah pulled him so hard, he landed on top of her. Both were now covered head to toe in mud.

"Mariah.." Ray whispered still shocked.

"Are you okay?" She gasped, caressing his face, while tears streamed down hers.

"I'm okay.." Ray said quietly, softly grabbing Mariah's hand that lay upon his face. Both slowly stood up.

"You saved me.." Ray whispered.

Mariah nodded, "It was a gut feeling and...I didn't want to lose you...You leaving the White Tigers was bad enough...but forever..." Mariah bit her lip.

"Hey it's okay!" Ray laughed, pushing her pink hair out of her face from the howling wind.

They were now in the middle of the wood. Ray looked around, "We should hurry through, trees are bad luck with storms.."

Mariah nodded, as they ran hand in hand further into the forest.

(Back at resterraunt)

Chloie gasped, as she was gazing out the window, "Max look!" Chloie shrieked as she pointed out the window

Tyson and Bailey were walking agaisnt the wind, soaking wet. Tyson of corse noticed the resteraunt, grabbed Bailey's wrist as they headed striaght for it. Both Tyson and Bailey rushed in the resteraunt huffing, when they noticed the cute couple sitting at the table with wide grins, as they both sat down beside them.

"Bailey!!!" Chloied smiled.

"Hey Tyson!" Laughed Max.

"Hi...." Tyson muttered as his stomach growled, and Bailey shivered in her wet clothes.

Tyson threw Bailey his jacket, "Here!"

Bailey caught it with a quiet, "Thanks" as she put it on.

Chloie frowned as she eyed them both, "What have you two been up too lately?" Putting her hands on her hips, as Max listened closely in curiousity.

Tyson and Bailey glanced at each other as they both recalled earlier that day:

Flash Back

Tyson woke to a scream the morning after Bailey rejected Tyson's kiss moment. (refer to chappie 8) The rain was comming down hard on his tent as he came out into the wet cold storm. Tyson momentarly complained about the weather before realising the cliff the slept near had colapsed and broke clear off, leaving muddy Bailey grasping the ledge for her life, her fingers began to slip through the slimey mud. Just as Tyson lunged for her wrist and hauled her up, so hard that she came flying on top of Tyson, who grunted under her wieght.

"Tyson!" Bailey gasped still on top of him.

Tyson just huffed closing his eyes, "Yeah?" his head beagn to throb from the fall.

"You saved me..." Bailey gasped.

"You okay?" he asked as he helped her up.

Bailey nodded before looking at him. Bailey qucikly kissed Tyson on the lips, as he gasped, alowing her tongue to enter. Tyson imediatly shut his eyes and returned the kiss. Just as Bailey pulled away gasping for air.

"Thank you..." she whispered timidly.

Tyson blushed as he nodded, "Can i save you more often?" he grinned sheepishly.

Bailey laughed, as she pushed him playfully, but he only pushed back, and kissed her again.

Flash back ends

Both Bailey and Tyson grinned coyly, "Nothing!" they said in unison.

Max just shook his head as Chloie frowned.

Just then, hand in hand, Ray and Mariah came running into the resteraunt, wheezing.

"Guys over here!" Max waved to his friends, as Maraih and Ray made their way over to Max. Ray and Mariah sat in the booth beside them, as Mariah leaned on Ray full of exauhstion.

"Is everyone here?" asked Ray still panting.

Max shook his head, "Nope.... Kai and Kleo aren't abck yet... The Raiders still have one pair out there too... It's all up to Kai and Kleo to win the competiton now..."

Tyson snorted, "Strange I thought the sourpants would be here first..."

"You dont think their in trouble do you?" Bailey frowned.

Max shrugged, "Dunno..."

"AAAAAAAAAAAH!" Tyson suddenly yelled, causing everyone to jump.

"What?!?" Bailey scolded.

"Something bit my toe!!!" Tyson shrieked as he jumped up on the table.

Chloie giggled coyly, as she heard Shadow purr, "Eeh hee... Yeah..."

Bailey frowned, at Chloie, as she looked undernieth the table, "SHADOW!!!" she smiled, as she went undernieth the table and began petting the wild leopard.

"It's going to eat my toes!! And i like my toes!!" Tyson wailed.

"Shadow must be hungry!" Laughed Max.

"Shadow?" Mariah frowned, "Kristy's Shadow, that she told us about?"

Chloie nodded, "The one and only!"

Ray and Tyson just shared uneasy glances.
