Ch. 10

"Ray! You have a lot of explaining to do buddy." Said Tyson with an angry voice.

"What do you mean?" asked Ray.

"Don't play stupid with me Ray! I saw you with Lee and Mariah last night!" yelled Tyson.

"Uh. Oh, I know what you're talking about. Let me explain." Said Ray.

"Please do." Said Tyson crossing his arms.

"Ray!" called a feminine voice.

"Mariah." Said Ray.

"I was looking all over for you Ray. Lee said he wanted to make it up to us by inviting us to a buffer." Said Mariah.

"What!? Oh I get it now. You're going back to the White Tigers with Mariah! I'll bet the only reason you wanted to join the Blade Breakers was to get Ray back!" shouted Tyson.

"No! That's not it!" yelled Mariah.

"Then what is it? We trusted you." Said an angry Tyson.

"Tyson, why don't you come down and let the guy explain." Said Max.

"Fine!" said Tyson crossing his arms again.

"You see, it's kind of hard to explain." Started Ray.

"Do you want me to explain?" asked Mariah.

"No, it's okay. You see, Lee loves Mariah very much. He loves her so much, that he'd kill for her. He wrote this note to Mariah pretending to be me, saying I didn't love her anymore, that I found somebody else. She got pretty jealous…" started Ray.

Mariah gave him an angry look.

"Uh, kind of sad. She pretended to like Lee, hoping that I'd be jealous and come back to her. That's probably why she was flirting with you guys." Said Ray cut off.

"So that's what she was doing. I was wondering why she was complimenting us all of a sudden." Said Max.

"So anyways, I found out…" said Ray cut off again.

"What I still don't get is, why did she believe the note?" asked Tyson.

"Lee is pretty good at imitating signatures. He could imitate mine in a heartbeat. So anyways, I found out and talked to the White Tigers with Mariah. At the time, I didn't know who it was, just that it was a White Tiger. Eventually, we came across Lee. We discussed the situation with him, and forgave him. He's trying to make it up to us as best we can by taking us to a buffer." Said Ray.

"So you're not going back to the White Tigers?" asked Tyson.

"Well, I was considering it. I was thinking, hey, I'm friends with Lee again, why not?" said Ray.

"What?!" yelled Tyson.

"Kidding, kidding." Said Ray laughing.

"Do you think you could do me a favour?" asked Tyson.

"What?" asked Ray.

"Bring back some dessert." Said Tyson.

"I got a better idea, how 'bout I treat you the buffer on one condition?" asked Ray.

"Okay, what?" asked Tyson.

"You don't sit at the same table as Mariah and I." Said Ray.

"Well in that case, can the rest of the Bladebreakers come?" asked Tyson.

"I guess." Sighed Ray.

"Alright! Yummy buffer, here I come!" exclaimed Tyson.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

"Is everything going well Ray?" asked Lee.

"Yeah, thanks for inviting Mariah and I." Said Ray.

"No problem." Said Lee.

"It's real nice of you Lee." Said Mariah.

"Anything to make it up to you guys. You guys were so forgiving, that I just had to make it up to you." Said Lee.

"Delicious!" exclaimed Tyson gulping down food.

"I think this restaurant will go out of business." Said Ray.

"Why do you say that Ray?" asked Mariah.

"'Cause Tyson, once he pops, he can't stop." Said Ray.

"I think you're right. Is there an off switch on him?" asked Mariah.

"I wish." Said Ray.

"Let's go get something to eat!" exclaimed Mariah.

"Right." Said Ray.

"Delicious!" exclaimed Mariah.

"What's delicious?" asked Ray.

"The sweet and sour chicken balls! They're so delicious!" exclaimed Mariah.

"They're that good?" asked Ray.

"Mmm hmm." Said Mariah.

"I got to try some then." Said Ray.

"They're over there by that counter." Said Mariah.

"Where? The only thing I see is an empty tray." Said Ray.

"Tyson?" asked Mariah.

"What?" asked Tyson.

"Did you eat all the sweet and sour chicken balls?" asked Mariah.

"Of course not! I ate half of them, and put the other half in my bag." Said Tyson.

"Ray wanted to try some of them! I wanted to eat more too!" yelled Mariah.

"I'm sure the chef is whipping up a fresh batch." Said Tyson.

"Ray is paying for you. You could at least save some food for him!" yelled Mariah.

"It's okay Mariah. I talked to the cook, and he said a fresh batch is almost done." Said Ray.

"You better not eat anymore tray fulls!" ordered Mariah.

"Yes ma'am. I'll eat the ones in my bag." Said Tyson.

"Good. You have plenty in your bag anyways. Why don't eat any other food?" asked Mariah.

"I was getting to that." Said Tyson.

"Hey Mariah, the chicken balls are done." Said Ray.

"Yay! Sweet and sour chicken balls are so good! You have to try some Ray." Said Mariah.

"Mmm. You're right Mariah, these chicken balls are good!" exclaimed Ray.

"Told you! Mmm. I love these chicken balls." Said Mariah.

"Look who's eating all the chicken balls now!" shouted Tyson.

"We only ate 5. You ate 105." Said Mariah.

"You want to put your chicken balls where your mouth is?" asked Tyson not thinking what he just said.

"As a matter of fact, yes, I do." Said Mariah.

 "Will you guys calm down and eat?" asked Ray.

"Sure, when Mariah stops hogging all the chicken balls." Said Tyson.

"Me!? You're the one who ate a whole tray!" protested Mariah.

They continued like this for the rest of the afternoon.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

"That was a great meal!" exclaimed Tyson.

"You said it!" exclaimed Max.

"It would have been better if you didn't hog all the sweet and sour chicken balls!" yelled Mariah.

"Why you!?" shouted Tyson.
