A loud rooster could be heard outside as the sun slowly rose into the sky waking up most of the Apple family, Bloom yawned as she finished getting ready for her daily chores. Grabbing her banjo and running down the stairs the young girl leaned to her side while grabbing a piece of toast with her mouth. "Mmmthanhmmm Gammy!" Laughing to herself, Granny watched as her granddaughter ran out the door playing a few notes on her small instrument. The door slammed shut behind Bloom as she looked around for her horse, "Winona!" Calling out to her horse the young girl quickly jumped onto the giant animal as sit ran past her. "Thanks girl, I hope you had a fun time with Apple yesterday." Putting her feet inside of the stirrups on the saddle, the girl had Winona gallop even faster down the dust trail as she player her banjo. Looking around a bit the younger sister could see her dusty haired brother running into a tree using his shoulder to knock down some apples that were too high for him to reach. "That brother of mine, always using his brute strength to get things done." Once she had found her section of the orchard she quickly got to work knocking apples down from the trees while Winona walked around eating grass. "Apple better let me have some Apple Cider when this is over!"

"Get up sleepy head were burning daylight." Pushing Zero out of bed Apple watched as Zero quickly woke up while trying to figure out what had just happened. She left the room a few moments later to get breakfast while Zero got ready for the day, the black haired teen quickly put on his regular half black/half white jacket while running of the room to find out what he needed to do for the family. "Come on Zero your with me today." Tossing the teen a slice of toast Apple pushed open the door with Zero following right behind her, a few moments later Zero could hear Apple whistling for her horse. "Sugar Cube!" While Sugar Cube ran over to the two teens, Zero walked over to a barrel and dunked his head into it to help wake him up, he yawned a bit while splashing more water on his face.
"I know I'm not used to getting up this early but I could have sworn you just said Sugar Cube. Isn't your horse's name Winona?" Apple placed one foot inside a stirrup and pulled herself onto the horse while placing her other foot inside of the second stirrup on the other side of the saddle; she turned her attention to Zero who was waiting for her to answer.
"That's Bloom's horse; I was riding her yesterday since Sugar Cube here had a stomach ache. Isn't that right Sugar Cube?" The horse answered with a snorting sound while the animal let Zero climb onto the back of her, once the blader was on the horse Apple made the animal gallop forward down another dusty trail that led through the apple orchard. "Once we finish with this section of the orchard we can go and eat breakfast with the family."
"Then are we heading into town?"
"Shoot no, we still have another section to finish before we can go to town. I'd reckon we'll finish around noon, we'll head into town and eat there for lunch since they're having another one of those talent like shows." Slowing Sugar Cube down just a bit the western teen quickly jumped off of the horse while reaching into the bag she had attached to the horses saddle, Zero slid off the horse a few moments later looking at how many tree's they had to pick apples from before they could go eat breakfast. "How are we supposed to knock all of these apples down?" In front of the two teens were hundreds of apple trees each with a set of five buckets set around them to catch the apples that fell from the trees, Apple finally pulled out what looked like a bey part that she attached to her bey before explaining how they would get the apples down from the trees. "We're going to use our beys." After hearing this Zero took out his launcher and connected his bey to it while taking aim at one of the trees that looked like it had a lot of apples ready to be knocked down. "Whoa hold your horses there Zero, if you launch that bey now you'll just knock the tree down. You need this type of bey if you're going to be helping me." Holding up a fusion in front of Zero's eyes the teen could tell it wasn't like any fusion wheel he had seen or used before, taking the fusion wheel out of Apple's hands the teen looked at her with a confused look on his face. "That there is a wooden fusion wheel that we here at the orchard use to knock the apples down. It's better to use these here wooden ones rather than a metal one because they don't damage the tree." Pulling out her launcher the western teen connected the bey to the gun shaped launcher while taking aim at a tree not too far from them. Launching her bey at the tree the two teens watched as the wooden bey flew into the tree and bounced off of it causing a few dozen apples to fall from the tree, picking up one of the apples that didn't land in the buckets Apple took a bit out of it while catching her wooden bey. "You should only need to launch your bey at the trees once. If there are any left just leave them there for little ol' Sugar Cube." Finishing her freshly picked apple the western teen connected her bey to the gunman's launcher and lunched it at the tree right next to the one she had just taken the apples from.
"I've never seen anyone use this type of fusion wheel before, the shape and material aren't exactly what most people would use." As Zero said this he was taking out his beys face bolt in order to replace his fusion wheel with the one that he had been given, a few moments later the teen screwed the face bolt back into the bey that now had a wooden fusion wheel instead of one made out of metal. Connecting his bey to his launcher the teen quickly pulled the rip cord out causing his bey to fly into a tree that was close to the two teens, a few apples fell from the tree after the bey had bounced off of the tree trunk.
"You'll only find those types here; we don't need any fancy machinery like some folks around her' use. Once we've finished filling up a few of these buckets we'll need to place them onto that kart over there so we can have Sugar Cube take them to the house for my father and Granny to use." Catching her bey once again the teen quickly connected her bey and launcher together; she pulled the rip cord out of the launcher a few moments later causing her bey to fly into another tree. After the bey had bounced off of the tree trunk the western teen watched it fly into two more trees causing more buckets to be filled with apples. "Now that's what I call a mighty fine launch!" Zero laughed slightly while taking aim at another tree, he quickly pulled the rip cord out of the launcher causing the bey to fly into another tree, this time when the bey bounced off of the tree trunk it flew into three other trees that were close to the first tree he had hit. "Looks like we have ourselves a person that thinks he can do what I can do." Gripping her launcher tighter the western teen launcher her bey once again and watched as it bounced off of two rows of trees causing even more buckets to be filled with apples. Once she was sure they had filled up enough bucket, Apple picked up two of the heavy buckets and placed them in the kart so they could take them back to the house. Zero tried picking up two buckets as well but found it difficult to keep his balance holding more than just one bucket; Apple helped him set the bucket in the kart while shaking her head. "You should see my brother carry these buckets, he can carry four at a time." Whistling for her horse Apple quickly picked up two more buckets while Zero picked up another one, they sat them down inside of the wooden kart once again while they walked off to pick up a few more buckets. Eventually the kart was filled with buckets; Apple attached the kart to Sugar Cube's saddle while climbing onto the horse. "Stay here and keep knocking down more apples, I'll be back once I drop these off at the house." After Apple said this the western teen's horse began galloping off down the dusty trail towards the house while Zero continued to knock apples into the nearby buckets.

A few hours had passed and the sun had finally risen high enough into the sky to let people know it was time to start the day, for everyone at the orchard it meant that it was breakfast time. Bloom looked around at her section of the orchard with a huge smile on her face; once again she had managed to finish her section without running out of time. Putting her launcher into the bag that was attached to Winona's saddle the younger sister placed a foot into one the stirrups to help pull herself onto the horse, after a few tries the western girl eventually found her way back onto the saddle. "Come on girl let's head back to the house so we can eat!" As if the animal understood Bloom, the horse began galloping down the dusty trail that led back to the house while Bloom looked around for her brother. She eventually gave up looking for her older brother when she saw no sign of him in his section of the orchard, as her horse finally stopped in front of the house Bloom began playing her banjo as she walked up the small steps that led to the house. "How does that brother of mine get finished with his work so fast?" As the western girl stopped playing her banjo she leaned it against the wall while she opened up the door to the house, she stepped inside while letting the door slam behind her. "What's for breakfast Granny?" The older white haired women sat in her chair while waiting for the rest of the family to sit down and join her for breakfast.
"We've got eggs, bacon, sausage, and toast."
"My favorites!" Sitting next to her granny the younger sister quickly started placing food on her plate while her father sat down at his usual spot, glancing up Bloom could see her older brother had already finished placing food on his plate. "Were you the first one to finish your work again Mac?" Leaning back in his chair the blonde haired brother laughed slightly while shaking his head to let his younger sister know that he was. "Eeyuup." Setting her plate down in front of her, Bloom looked out the window to see Zero and Apple returning with another kart full of buckets, the younger sister smiled when she saw the two knowing she wouldn't have to wait to eat her food. A few moments later the door was pushed open with the two teens walking through it, Apple quickly sat down next to Bloom while Zero sat down next to their brother Mac who stopped to say grace before eating. Once Mac had finished speaking Zero and Apple filled their plates with food while Bloom began to eat hers right away, the two other teens did the same once they had finished putting food on their plates. "Granny you make the best bacon in the world!"
"I try sugar, I'm sure there's someone out there that can make even better bacon than this and if there is I haven't met em' yet." Mac laughed at this while he took a bit out of the sausage he had on his plate, Apple's father ate some of the eggs that were on his plate while he opened up a newspaper to read what was happening in town. The three sibling's father sighed after reading one of the stories printed on the newspaper; he set the paper down while eating some of the bacon that was on his plate. "Looks like those city folks are trying to buy out everyone again." Bloom looked up from her plate after she had finished eating some of the scrambled eggs that were on the plate, she quickly began talking after she had taken a drink of water.
"They won't try to buy the orchard will they pa?"
"Not if I have anything to say about it they won't." Finishing his plate of food the older man grabbed his hat and placed it on his head while walking out the door to continue his work around the orchard. Zero looked at Bloom wondering why someone would try to buy the towns property, the teen kept a mental note of this while eating some of the bacon that was on his plate. A few minutes later everyone had finished their food and had begun placing all of their plates onto the counter so they could wash them after dinner, Zero opened up the door while Bloom ran under his arm to grab her banjo.
"Don't take too long with the work Zero; I want to head into town as soon as we can!" Whistling for Winona, the younger sister ran down the dusty trail while playing a few notes on her banjo. The teen watched as Bloom quickly jumped onto her horse and had the animal gallop even faster to her section of the orchard. A few moments later Apple walked out of the house with her brother following right behind her, the western teen whistled for her horse while her brother began running down one of the dusty trails that led to his section of the orchard.
"Let's go Zero; we need to get one more section done before we can go into town." Sugar Cube eventually walked over to Apple who put her foot in one of the stirrups so she could pull herself onto the horse, the western teen then helped Zero climb onto the horse who began galloping down the trail once he was on. Running down the same path it had before the horse began galloping even fasters as it passed the section that Zero and Apple had already worked on; eventually Sugar Cube came to a stop near an area that they hadn't been in yet. "Same drill as before." Sliding off of the horse the two teens quickly launched their beys at two of the trees, after their beys had bounced off of the tree trunk the buckets underneath the tree were filled with the apples that had been knocked down. They continued doing what they had done for the first section they had worked one, both teens would knock apples into the buckets and eventually Apple would take the buckets that they put inside of the kart back to the house for her granny to use. The two teens continued this process for several more hours before finally knocking down all of the apples in that section of the orchard, eventually the two teens fell asleep under one of the trees after they had finished their work.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,
Bloom breathed in heavily as she collapsed onto the ground in exhaustion, she looked around at all of the trees she had taken apples from and smiled when she realized that the section she had been working on was now finished. The younger sister let out a sigh of relief as she stood up and walked over to pick up the last bucket she had filled up, picking up the bucket the western girl set the bucket down inside of the wooden kart while she whistled for Winona. "Winona!" A few moments had passed and her horse eventually walked over to the kart so Bloom could attach the kart to her saddle, once the girl had finally hooked up the kart to Winona she placed a foot into one of the saddles stirrups while she tried to pull herself onto the horse. "Come on, almost got it, there we go!" After a few tries the young girl eventually pulled herself onto the saddle, once the horse was sure that Bloom was on the saddle the animal began galloping towards the house which could be seen in the distance. Glancing over to the right Bloom could see Mac eating an apple while he walked back to the house with his last bucket under his arm, a few moments later the horse came to a stop in front of the house where Bloom left her kart and buckets of apples. "Mac have you seen Apple?" Looking at his younger sister the teen set down his bucket while finishing his apple, he thought for a moment and shook his head which made Bloom groan a bit.
"Nnope." Bloom quickly jumped back onto Winona and had the horse begin galloping down the dirt path that led to her sisters section of the orchard. The sun was finally high enough in the sky that everyone would be awake, to Bloom though it felt like she had already worked the entire day despite only working for a few hours. After having Winona gallop for several minutes Bloom eventually had her horse stop while she looked over at one of the trees to see Zero and Apple sleeping next to it, she laughed slightly when Apple fell over and started using Zero's shoulder as a pillow.
Opening her eyes slightly Apple looked up to see Bloom standing over her, the western teen quickly grabbed her hat and stood up while dusting herself off. Bloom looked over at Zero who was still sleeping, the younger sister kicked Zero foot slightly causing the teen to wake up and stand up, "I finished my work, let's head to town!" The girl's enthusiasm made Zero laugh while Apple whistled for Sugar Cube, after a few moments the dusty haired girl's horse ran over to them so they could climb onto her. Apple placed one of her feet inside a stirrup to help her climb onto the horse, she leaned down and pulled Zero up so he could sit on the horse as well.
"Follow me ya'll, were going to get there in no time flat." Slightly kicking Sugar cubes sides the western teen made Sugar Cube gallop towards the dirt path that led out of the orchard, Winona and Bloom followed right behind the older sister while they looked around at the beautiful orchard. As the two horses kicked up dust while they ran down the trial they eventually ran around the corner of the fence that kept the horses in the orchard, Bloom squinted her eyes when she thought she saw the town in the distance.
"There it is, there it is!" Apple smiled while hearing her sister shout about seeing the town, the western teen looked over to the left and pulled her hat down slightly. She could see dark clouds in the distance which usually meant a storm was coming, the teen kicked Sugar Cubes sides a bit more causing the horses to gallop a bit faster.
"We might need to pick up the pace on our way back to the orchard." Apple spoke up a little so Zero could hear her; the teen looked to the left and nodded when he saw the clouds in the distance. Bloom paid no attention to the clouds since she was still focusing on the town that wasn't too far away from them now, the younger western sister grabbed her banjo which she had strapped to Winona's bag before she had left the house. Strumming a few notes on the banjo she smile as her horse whined a bit, once the younger sister had finished playing her song the girl looked at her sister with a competitive look on her face.
"Race you to town!" Strapping her banjo back to Winona's side the girl slightly kicked Winona to get her to gallop faster, Zero looked over at Apple who gave him a look that said to hold on tight.
"HAY!" Slapping the reins down Sugar Cube began galloping even faster while Apple leaned forward and narrowed her eyes, a few moments later the two horses were racing side by side while the two sisters looked at each other. "You're not going to beat me Bloom; this is going to end just like last time."
"We'll see about that Apple!" Kicking up clouds of dust as their horses ran past a few small houses built near the town, the two sisters tried making their horses gallop even faster which became more difficult as they approached the two. Eventually Apple managed to get ahead of Bloom, she had made Sugar Cube take a short cut by jumping over a fence which almost made Zero fall off, the three bladers eventually reached the town and put the horses somewhere where they could roam free for a while.
"Welcome to Armadillo!" Apple shut the wooden gate door to keep her and her sisters horse from getting out of the gated area, the western teen pointed to a sign that said Armadillo station. The town didn't seem like much from a glance, it was mostly a town made of a few wooden shops and very few newer buildings, while it didn't seem like much the people that were living in the town seemed to be enjoying themselves. Zero's attention was drawn to Apple who was pointing at a few of the different buildings around the town, once he had walked through the town for a bit he could see more buildings hiding behind some of the taller wooden buildings. "It might not seem like much compared to your fancy cities but to us it's a second home." The black haired teen had to admit that the town seemed really nice, it seemed like most people in the town knew each other since some people were pointing at him wondering if he was new in town. Bloom could hear shouting in the distance but ignored it when she realized it was a familiar voice she didn't want to be around, Apple walked over to the general store that was located near the train station; she pushed open the door while walking in with her sister. They were soon joined by Zero who was looking around at some of the stuff the store had, a few bey parts were hanging on the wall, next to it was a wall that had new guns on display. A few moments later Bloom walked over to Zero who was looking through the various bey parts that were hung on the wall, the black haired teen turned his attention to Bloom when she began to talk.
"Do you see any bey parts you like? I'm saving up any money I get so I can one day buy that one." The younger western sister pointed to a fusion wheel that was hung close to the ceiling, Zero glanced up and had to admit it looked like a nice fusion wheel.
"These bey parts are nice but I don't really see any that I need." Bloom smiled while she looked at some of the other parts she thought about trying to get one day, her attention was soon drawn to the soda machine outside the store. She looked at Zero who shrugged and walked outside with her while Apple got the supplies she needed.
"I'm going to get a soda do you want one." Zero shook his head to show that he didn't want a soda, the teen walked around the corner to see what other buildings were in the town while Bloom got her soda. Apple walked out of the store a few moments later and leaned on the wooden railing that was a part of the general store, she smiled while her sister finished drinking her soda. A few moments later Apple walked out of the general store with a bag filled with her supplies and a few other things her granny wanted her to get.
"Let's head on over to Trixie's now, I'm sure she' been waitin' on us." Bloom quickly threw away her empty soda can and ran past her sister while Zero tried to catch up to her, Apple ran after them a few moments later trying not to let anything fall out of her bag. As Bloom ran past the large stage that was set up near the front of the town, the red haired girl looked around for a trailer home as she ran around the stage. "There she is, in the same place we last left her." Apple laughed when she saw the old house that was only a few feet away from the stage, the western teen watched as Bloom ran up the small steps and knocked on the door. Opening up the door was a girl with light blue and white hair, she was wearing blue jacket that had light blue stars on the sleeves along with a pair of blue jeans, around her neck was cape that she used when performing for people in the town, the cape was purple with different colored stars on the back of it.
"Bloom!" Bending over to hug the younger sister, Trixie looked up from Bloom to see Apple and Zero walking over to her, she smiled while giving Apple a hug. "Apple, it's great to see you girls again I've been working on some new tricks for the town show tonight. Who might this be?" Trixie turned her attention to Zero who didn't really know who she was; Apple set her bag down on a barrel next to the trailer house while beginning to speak to the girl.
"This is Zero; he's the guy I met when I went to help out at that big race in the desert. I'd hate to ask this of ya but could Zero barrow your phone for a bit, he needs to get in touch with his friends."
"It's inside if you need to use it." Trixie pointed to the trailer and stepped aside to let Zero walk inside, the teen leaned against the house while turning her attention to Bloom who was jumping up and down so she could get Trixie's attention.
"What kind of magic show are you going to put on for us tonight?" Thinking for a moment Trixie smiled and finally spoke to the younger western sister while taking on a dramatic tone in her voice.
"The Great and Powerful Trixie will dazzle everyone with a wonderful display of fireworks, magic, tricks, and absolute wonderfulness!" As she said this the teen gave Bloom a bow while making a bouquet of flowers seem to appear out of nowhere, she handed them to Bloom as she leaned back against the trailer. Bloom began clapping while Apple laughed a little; she loved watching Trixie exaggerate her own abilities in order to make people smile and laugh. The light blue haired girl pulled out a deck of cards next while showing Bloom and Apple that it wasn't a rigged deck, once both girls were sure that the cards were rigged Bloom chose a card while making sure Trixie didn't see it. "Now the Great and Powerful Trixie will tell you exactly what card you just picked. Place the card anywhere in the deck." Keeping the cards face down so she couldn't see them, Trixie watched as Bloom slid her card back into the deck somewhere near the middle. The two western sisters then watched as Trixie took her deck of cards and slammed them against the open barrel of water; the cards fell to the ground while Trixie pointed at them. "Is that your card?" Bloom walked over to the barrel of water and looked around at the cards she had been pointing at, she shook her head only to see that Trixie was actually pointing at the barrel of water. Looking inside the barrel of water the younger sister could see the Queen of Diamonds face up at the bottom of the barrel, she looked back at her sister who shrugged not knowing how Trixie did it. "That's one of the new tricks I learned, dazzling isn't it?"
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Zero looked around the small house doing his best to find the phone, inside the house was a small table just to the left of the door that he walked through, the table had a built in booth that could form an extra bed if someone needed it. To left was a small hallway that led to the main bed room, walking a bit further into the kitchen the black haired teen could see Trixie's phone lying on the counter. Picking up the phone the teen dialed a number while holding the phone close to his ear, "Tone it's Zero." Moving the phone away from his ear Zero made sure to keep the phone away from his ear since he knew someone would shout really loudly into the phone.
"Zero? Where are you? Kasenhana said that you were in the Silencerz base." Holding the phone closer to his ear, the teen thought about what had happened after he had entered the Silencerz base. He leaned against the counter while trying to figure out what had happened to Vert who still hadn't turned up yet.
"I'm in a small town called Armadillo right now. Vert and I managed to escape the Silencerz base but I haven't seen Vert since I wasn't able to enter the portal with him, I used an Ex Bey part to escape the base before I was almost captured again." Tone took a moment to process all of this information; the teen couldn't believe that Zero had actually escaped, a few moments of silence passed between them before someone finally spoke again.
"Tez took everyone to an old building that was used during that World Race, we're working on making new Ex Gears since our old ones were destroyed escaping Gwen's HQ. I'll have Midnight come pick you-"
"No don't. The Silencerz are probably looking for me and Vert right now. I might not know where Vert is at but I'm sure he's in a place that the Silencerz can't find him, this means that right now I'm going to be there main target since I still have one bey part." Tone sighed a bit trying to figure out how they were going to help Zero without drawing attention from the Silencerz, he thought for a moment before finally speaking again.
"How are we supposed to help you then? I'm sure that the Silencerz are already tracking you down right now, and without knowing anyone on that team you could be walking right back into their hands."
"I'm staying with a friend I met during the World Race, I never told anyone where she lived since I didn't find out until yesterday. If they are looking for me then it will take them a while to track me down since this is one of the places that they wouldn't check right away." The sound of another magic trick could be heard from outside while Zero tried to plan his next move, he could hear Bloom's voice as the trick was finished. "For now you and everyone else should go back to your normal lives, the Silencerz aren't looking for any of you since none of you have any information they could use."
"You know where to find us if you need team Synkro to help you out. Metal says that he's also willing to help you out if he runs into you in the near future."
"Thanks Tone, make sure Yukihana and Kasenhana are taken care of while I'm gone. Once I've finished dealing with the Silencerz I'll come back to see everyone. Until then I'll make sure to keep in contact with you guys to make sure everything is okay." A few disappointed voices could be heard from Tone's phone as the teen finished talking, Zero wanted nothing more than to go and see everyone but he knew if he did the Silencerz would more than likely find him. The teen ended his conversation with Tone a few moments later while setting the phone back down on the counter, he sighed as he began to walk out of the house. Stepping out of the house Zero sat down on top of a barrel as he turned his attention to Trixie who was giving her two person audience a bow, he leaned back against the wall while trying to figure out what he could do to get the Silencerz to leave him alone.
"Trixie the Great and Powerful must know leave to prepare for the town show tonight." As the blue haired teen looked up she dropped a smoke bomb that would allow her to look like she disappeared, Zero kept his eyes on her as she ran around the house to grab a few things she needed for her part of the show. Apple turned her attention from the clearing smoke to Zero who seemed like he had a lot on his mind, the teen walked over to him and gave him a smile before speaking to him.
"You seem a little down in the dirt there partner." Zero sighed while glancing at the dark clouds in the distance; the teen shook his head before finally speaking.
"My friends are fine but now I've got to avoid these people that are looking for me. They're not exactly the easiest people to get away from so I need to find a way to get them to leave me alone." Bloom walked over to a few of the extra things that Trixie had lying around, she kept part of her attention on Apple who was trying to help Zero figure something out. The dusty haired girl looked at Zero for a moment and then pulled her hat down slightly while turning her attention to the dark clouds that were slowly moving towards the old town.
"I might not have any helpful advice but I reckon that if you were to get them something they needed they would leave you alone." Zero thought for a moment and reached into his pocket to pull out the Ex Bey part, for a moment he considered giving them the part but he knew that if he gave it to them that they would try to make copies of its power which wasn't something he would let happen. The forbidden bey that Ryuga had might work but he knew that the Dragon Emperor wouldn't hand his bey over, the pendent that created the shadow warriors came to mind but was quickly cast aside when the teen remembered that Gwen had it with her and she had been sent flying through realm that led to the Accelerons world. With more thought the teen thought about the bey that Midnight had been studying but remembered that when the lab exploded it had destroyed everything inside of it which meant that any forbidden bey that might be in there was now gone. "If ya could get your hands on one of them forbidden beys ya might be able to negotiate with them." Zero shook his head once he realized that there weren't any more forbidden beys in the world that he could get his hands on that might allow him to negotiate his way away Silencer.
"The only forbidden beys in this world are all gone except for one. L Drago is the last forbidden bey and its owner won't hand that bey over, even if he would do that for me I couldn't take his bey from him." Apple leaned against the wall while still looking at slowly moving dark clouds, she took off her hat for a moment so she could wipe the sweat from her forehead, placing her hat back on her head the teen tried thinking of something else that would help.
"Shoot I bet if Twi were here right now she could help you out. She always knew how to get out of these kinds of situations." After Apple had said this the teen began thinking of the World Race bladers he had met a year ago, he thought maybe one of them could help him but realized that the Silencerz would more than likely keep an eye on them in case he did try to get help from them.
Sliding off of the barrel the black haired teen eventually figured out what he was going to do, "I'll just stay here with you until I can find something that I can give those people." Apple nodded thinking it was a good idea, she was sure that if they worked together they could find something he could use. Bloom eventually jumped up while placing both of her arms around Zero and Apple who noticed the younger sister was keeping herself in the air by holding onto them.
"Don't be so gloomy you two, let's go get something to eat and wait for the town show to start!" Looking at each other the two teens laughed and walked off towards one of the restaurants in town while letting Bloom hold onto them. Trixie leaned against her small house while watching the three friends leave to go find something to eat, she smiled slightly and continued to prepare her things for the towns show.
As the three bladers walked down the dirt road they looked around at all of the shops that were located near the store, a few gun stores and clothing stores could be seen as well as a bank that was close to the general store. Bloom giggled while hanging from her sister and Zero's shoulders, she eventually let go once they reached the restaurant, the three bladers walked inside to find that the place was almost empty. "Yaaay we can eat right away!" Bloom shouted nearly at the top of her lungs which caused Apple to place her hand around the young sister's mouth to keep her a little quieter, the younger sister laughed slightly while Zero found them a place to sit. The restaurant looked nice on the inside; the tables all had a flannel type cloth covering them with silverware neatly folded into a napkin from a customer to use, Apple looked over the menu while Bloom grabbed a few crayons and began drawing on a sheet of paper she found. Glancing at the menu and at Zero occasionally Apple finally decided to ask about the phone call since it had seemed really important to the black haired teen, Bloom didn't pay much attention to the conversation since she was in her own little world.
"And who might these Kasenhana, Yukihana, and Tone friends be?" Zero glanced up from his menu and blinked a few times before finally understanding what Apple had asked him, the teen thought for a moment while he figured out what to say.
"Tone is the leader of the Synkro team that I've been racing with for the past few weeks, or months, I met them a while back but that was when Tone's brother was in charge of the team. Kasenhana is…. And Yukihana is… it's complicated." Apple laughed slightly nodding her head as if she might understand what he was talking about, the dusty haired teen thought for a moment trying to make sense of the two girls.
"I understand, sorta, if you need help dealing with these problems you know I'm here to help ya in any way I can." The black haired teen nodded and smiled a little knowing he had a great friend like Apple that was willing to help him out with anything. Sitting in silence for a few minutes, Apple and Zero tried thinking of something to say but couldn't find the right words; eventually Bloom looked up from her drawing to say something.
"Are you two going to order? I'm huuuuuuungry!" The two teens looked at each other and quickly looked at the menu so they could decide what they wanted to eat. Once the two teens were sure they knew what they wanted their waiter came by with a bowl filled with chips for them to eat until their food was ready. Bloom immediately order for herself saying that she wanted some macaroni and cheese with a Dr. Pepper, once the waiter had written down her order he looked at Apple who was folding the menu. The dusty haired teen order a spicy buffalo sandwich along with a glass of water to help cool her mouth down since the restaurant was known for its spicy sandwiches, Zero order the same thing that Apple did only he order a Sprite with his food. Once everyone had finished ordering their food the waiter walked off to get their drinks, Bloom focused all her attention on her drawing while Zero and Apple continued talking.
"When my father brings us to town I stop by here to get myself a buffalo sandwich, one of the best meals I've eaten in town." The two teens looked up when they saw their waiter return, he set the drinks down on the table along with a small bowl of hot sauce. Apple quickly picked up her drink and took a sip while she looked down at Bloom who was using a new crayon; Zero looked out the window to see that the dark clouds had gotten even closer to the town.
"I know a guy that might like to eat here; he loves spicy foods, mostly Buffalo wings though." Taking a sip from his drink the black haired teen looked around the restaurant a bit more while listening to Bloom hum to herself, the younger sister eventually stopped drawing to see if their food was ready yet.
"Apple did you leave Granny's supplies at Trixie's house?"
"After the town show I thought we could see her again before we rode back home." Bloom soon had a big smile on her face after hearing this; she couldn't wait to see Trixie's part of the show and then get to congratulate her, Apple smiled a bit while she watched Bloom continue to draw. A few minutes later the three friends received their food, Bloom quickly started eating while Zero and Apple carefully bit into their sandwiches, the younger sister giggled slightly when she saw the two teens immediately grab their drinks.
"Ya'll look like your mouths are on fire."
"That's because they are!" The two teens shouted in unison while trying to cool their mouths down, Apple finished her water moments later while tossing a few ice cubes into her mouth. Zero drank some of his Sprite but found that it didn't help much; he quickly grabbed some of the ice in his drink and tossed it into his mouth hoping it would help keep his mouth cool. "This is the best sandwich I've ever had, and our mouths are still on fire!" Bloom continued to laugh while she turned her attention to the waiter who set two more glasses of water down on the table; she took another bite of her food while watching the two teens drink even more water.

I wanted to make this chapter longer but if I start the towns show now I'm sure I'll have a lot more to write which will take me longer to update. After seeing Trixie's magic trick does it make you guys eager to see some of the talent in the towns show? I'm sure most of you are getting tired of not seeing regular bey battles, right now I wanted to take the story in the direction that shows people what it would be like using beys around the world. For example in this part of the bey blade world you have people using beys to make their chores a lot easier.
