Aaah! My mind is running wild! I have to write a story for a school project, so this chapter is rather random, having come from my overworked mind. I'll try to get another chapter out soon. Hopefully today?

Chapter 14 A Magical Visit

"Whwhwh!" whistled Gingka as he walked along. He was on his way to Ryuga's Readables to buy a new book. On the way, he was joined by Yu.

"Gingky!" Yu exulted when he found someone fun to be with. "Let me come with you on your fun adventure! Uh... where are we going anyway?"

"We're off on a magical visit to Ryuga's Readables! Come along, Yu!" said Gingka happily.

So now the happy duo of Gingka and Yu headed on their way. Until they met Kenta. "Gingka! Yu! Can I come with you?" he asked them.

"Sure! Come on, Kenta! We're off on a magical visit to Ryuga's Readables!" Gingka told Kenta.

So now the happy three-some went merrily on their way singing "Lalalalala!" Until they met Masamune.

"Where are you all going so happily?" asked a confused Masamune.

Gingka smiled. "Hello Masamune. We're all on our way for a magical visit at Ryuga's Readables! Want to come?"

"Sure!" said Masamune, falling in line behind them and joining in the singing of "Lalalalala!" Then they ran into Tsubasa, who was actually not with Rose for once.

"Hola, Tsubasa!" greeted Yu.

Gingka said, "Want to come with us on a magical journey to Ryuga's Readables?"

Tsubasa hesitated for a second before saying, "Uh... sure." The merry five-some now continued on their way to their destination; until they came across Benkei.

"Hello Benkei!" said Gingka. "Want to join us on our magical trip to Ryuga's Readables?"

"Sure!" said Benkei without hesitation. He cut in line in front of Tsubasa, who was reluctantly trailing along in the back of the line, but joining the other five in singing "Lalalalala!" Until they met up with Kyoya and Nile, who were both on their way to the Beyblade Battlegrounds.

"Hi Kyoya! Hi Nile!" gushed Gingka happily. "Want to come with us on our magical journey to Ryuga's Readables?"

"No thanks," said Kyoya.

"No thanks," said Nile.

"Awww..." groaned everyone, especially Benkei. But they continued on their way (magical visit) to Ryuga's Readables. Until they ran into the door of the shop.

"Oof!" said Gingka, who had run into the door.

"Oof!" said Yu, who had run into Gingka.

"Oof!" said Kenta, who had run into Yu.

"Oof!" said Masamune, who had run into Kenta.

"Oof!" said Benkei, who had run into Masamune.

"Ow!" yelped Tsubasa, who had landed half on Benkei and half on the nail protruding from the door. "What's this?" he asked, pulling a note off the door of Ryuga's Readables (it had been stuck there by the nail).

"Lemme see it!" cried Gingka, ripping the note from Tsubasa's hands. He read it aloud so everyone could hear it. "Gone training at the volcano. Be back eventually. -Ryuga."

"Aw man!" said Yu.

"What happened to our magical visit?" asked Kenta.

Masamune scratched his head.

"I should have known this was a fraud!" Tsubasa exclaimed. "There's no such thing as magic!"

"Yes there is," said Gingka dreamily. "Beyblades are magic."

"No, beyblades are science!" argued Tsubasa, launching into a detailed description of the cosmos and the origins of beys, which Gingka had no doubt heard from his annoying father, Ryo, a million bagillion times already.

Gingka had flipped the note over. There was a back. It read: Gingka! I knew you would flip this note over! Ha ha ha! It can't make me come back any sooner, though. Adios! Sayonara! Goodbye!

"Aww..." said Gingka with a sigh. "So much for our magical visit, everyone."

Everyone sighed and left. Yu went to Chi & Chao's Chess & Checkers. Kenta went to OTA Land. Masamune went back to his make-up shop, Gingka went back to his burger shop, and Benkei went back to his bath and beauty shop. Tsubasa went back to his tank top shop, where he told Rose all about his very un-magical visit to Ryuga's Readables. The only slightly magical part was when Gingka had flipped the note over and seen a P.S. from Ryuga, who seemed to have read his mind.


Nile was on his half-hour lunch break while Kyoya held down the fort at the Beyblade Battlegrounds. He had gone to Gingka's Gangly Burgers, where he had heard the news of Ryuga. Nile wondered where Ryuga had gone; after all, there weren't exactly a ton of volcanoes in the vicinity. On his way back to the Beyblade Battlegrounds, Tyson almost ran into Nile (it totally wasn't Nile's fault!).

"Nile!" Tyson exulted happily. "Can you get me to the front of the line at the Beyblade Battlegrounds?"

"No," said Nile, who had forgotten how talkative and annoying that the one hitch-hiker had been.

"What?" asked Tyson. "But you run the place. Don't you have any control?"

"He doesn't run the line," Kai informed a sad Tyson.

"True, I don't run the line," said Nile.

"See?" said Kenny, who had silently agreed with Kai.

"Now if you don't want to wait for five hours in line, I suggest we get going," Hilary said.

Ray and Max nodded. Then they all left, with Tyson complaining the whole way. Nile wondered what was up with that one kid's (Tyson's) obsession with the Beyblade Battlegrounds. He reasoned that if the kid wanted to battle so badly, he could manage to wait in line, or opt for easy battles at OTA Land.

By the time Nile finished that thought, he had arrived on the premises of the Beyblade Battlegrounds. He headed to the top and let Kyoya take his lunch break. He battled Yu, who refused to go to OTA Land, and rightfully so. Yu was a great opponent to battle against.

After he won, Nile wondered once more about the mysterious hitch-hikers who had shown up looking for Zeo Zaggart just before Zeo had arrived in town.
