Ch. 4
"Let it rip!" shouted Ray.
"Galleon, attack!" ordered Lee.
'What? He's using his bit-beast on the first shot? What's his angle?' asked Ray to himself.
"Galleon, tiger claw!" ordered Lee.
"That's not the real tiger claw. Only Drigger can do it properly. If Lee wants to play battle of the bit-beasts, we'll do that. Drigger, attack!" ordered Ray.
"What?! He's using the White Tiger? How dare you Ray!" shouted Lee.
"I hope Ray will be able to win. I don't want him losing his bit-beast Drigger." Said Mariah.
"Don't worry, if I know Ray, he'll pull through." Said Tyson.
"Maybe so, but do you know Lee?" asked Mariah.
"Um, can't say I really do." Said Tyson.
"I'm sure Ray will win, but will Lee be able to accept that?" asked Mariah.
"What are you saying? He might try to take Drigger away by force?" asked Tyson.
"Exactly what I mean." Said Mariah.
"Drigger, finish it! Tiger claw attack!" ordered Ray.
"What?!" asked Lee while his beyblade broke in 5 pieces and his pupils shrunk like a cat's. "I, I lost. I should have won. How did Ray beat me so quickly? Grrr! The White Tiger should be mine Ray!"
"I won fair and square." Said Ray before he walked off.
"Ray! Come back here! Coward! The White Tiger should be mine!" yelled Lee.
"And the winner is Ray. Let me tell you, that Drigger of his can sure cut it's way out of trouble." Said the announcer.
"Ray!" called Mariah.
"Mariah." Smiled Ray.
"I knew you could do it! I knew you could!" exclaimed Mariah.
'I hope Mariah will be happy with her decision of leaving the White Tigers for Ray. I wish she liked me! What can I do to make her like me? I'll have to think of something. I won't let Ray take the White Tiger and Mariah away from me! Maybe I should send Mariah a bad note and sign it from Ray. That might work if I say something like Mariah, I don't thinik we should see each other anymore. I just don't feel the same way for you as you do for me. It's perfect! I'll just have to think of something a little better to write though.' Thought Lee.

"Ray, there's something I've been wanting to tell you for a long time. I love you." Confessed Mariah.
Ray was taken back by this a little, but managed to say, "I love you too."
"Really?" asked Mariah.
"Really." Answered Ray.
Slowly their lips met and they were in a gentle kiss.
'Ray! How dare you kiss her! I'd tackle you right now if Mariah wasn't there! This disgusts me to see him kissing my Mariah!' thought Lee.
Mariah and Ray gazed into each others eyes lovingly.
"Huh?" asked Ray.
"What is it?" asked Mariah.
"Listen closely." Said Ray.
"Someone's here." Said Mariah.
"Stay close Mariah." Ordered Ray.
"Okay." Said Mariah.
'Oh no! They know I'm here! I better split!' thought Lee.
"Whoever it was, seems to be gone now." Said Ray.
"Maybe we should get out of the park." Said Mariah.
"You're right. It's getting late." Said Ray.
"There you two are! I've been looking all over town for you. Come on in the van. I'll take you home." Said Mr. Dickenson. (Thanks to K-chan who told me his name.)
"Thanks. Not a moment too soon." Said Ray.
"Thank you." Said Mariah.
"Not a problem." Said Mr. Dickenson.

"Ray, Mariah, where have you two been?" asked Max.
"Taking a walk." Said Mariah and Ray at the same time, causing them to blush.
"Oh. Cool." Was all Max managed to say.
"I found you a spare bedroom and bed Mariah." Said Mr. Dickenson.
"Thank you." Said Mariah.
'I think now is the time to put my plan into action." Said Lee writing a note.
