Wingzero: To continue or not to continue, that is the questions?
Tyson: Eh?
Kenny: You're seriously not considering it, are you?
Kai: Whatever.
Ray: *looks at all the reviews*
Wingzero: TO CONTINUE!!!!
Tyson: O_O
Dragoon: *holds up a sign saying "Wingzero does not own Beyblade"*
"Wake up!" an irritated but stern voice yelled while trying to shake me.
I groaned and rolled over. Why can't they leave me alone? I slept only ..... Let's see ... five or six hours. I'm a growing boy. I need at least seven hours of sleep, uninterrupted sleep, that is. Go away!
"Tyson!" another voice yelled at me. Suddenly I felt a cold draft. Someone must have taken my blanket off of me.
Whoever did that is going to pay! Sleepily, I grabbed my pillow and flung it towards the direction of the voices only to hear Ray scream at me. Cracking my eyes open, I had only a second to register the Chinese beyblader as he whacked me with my own pillow.
"Very funny, Tyson," he said sarcastically. Max was laughing his head off while Kenny shook his head. Kai remained impassive as usual.
Smiling, I replied, "So you're the one I hit."
"You weren't aiming?" Ray asked surprised.
"What do you think?" I answered Ray's question with another question. "It's early in the morning. You're trying to wake me up."
"I understand," Ray said.
"You'd better hurry, the bus will be leaving," Kai said in his usual cold demeanor. He stood up and left the room.
Yawning, I proceeded to grab my clothes. "Where are we headed?"
"Back home," Max replied, very hyper.
Turning to Ray, I wondered where he would be going. He lived in China, which was far away from the rest of his team mates. Would he go back, now that the competition was over? Or would he stay with us? I was about to ask, but I realized it sounded rude so I went to the bathroom to change into my day clothes.
An hour later, we were on the bus. We had made it with enough time to spare. This allowed me to grab a few doughnuts for breakfast. I accidentally missed breakfast, but others didn't. This surprised them, because they knew I loved food.
Within our group, Max and I sat at the front. Ray and Kai sat in the middle. Bringing up the rear was the Chief and Mr. Dickenson. I allowed Max to have the window seat, because I wasn't in the mood to argue. Max thought something was wrong with me, since normally we fought over the seat. Then I made a lame excuse. I had packed my extra dough nuts in my bag. It would be inconvenient to be sitting near the window. Max actually believed my lie.
"So what do you want to do when we get home?" I asked Max, trying to start a conversation.
"I don't know," Max answered, while thinking. He appeared in deep thought before a light bulb clicked in his head. "How about spending the night at my house? We can make it a celebration for our win."
"That sounds great!" I thoroughly agreed with him. "Don't you agree?" I faced the rest of the team.
"Okay," Kenny acknowledged. "Maybe we should make it tomorrow. I don't think some of us are up to it tonight."
"Sounds fine with me," Ray said, gazing out of the window.
"Count me out," Kai said coldly.
"Why?" Max protested. "You're part of the team."
"Face it, Max, you can't force him to go," I sighed. "He doesn't like to go to any social events, except for beyblade competitions."
Ray snapped his attention to me and so did the rest of the team. Was it something I said? "Did I hear what I think I just heard?" Ray asked, blinking his eyes.
"I do have my moments," I huffed.
"Okay," Kenny said before returning back to his laptop. In my opinion, he needed to find a better hobby or something else other than computers. (hehehehehehe, I'm also guilty)
"Fine, I'll go," Kai spoke up.
"You're actually going?" Max asked, completely caught off guard.
"Like Tyson said, 'I do have my moments,'" Kai quoted me.
"Hey Ray?" I asked the Chinese beyblader.
"What is it?" Ray turned his attention away from Kai to me.
"Where are you staying tonight?" I wondered.
Shrugging, he answered, "Don't know. I'll most likely stay in a hotel or something."
"You can stay with me," I suggested. "I'm sure my grandpa wouldn't mind."
"Are you sure about that?" Ray asked.
"Come on," Max jumped in. "He's offering you a roof to stay under."
"I'm sure, but beware I have an ... unusual grandpa," I warned him.
"He's not kidding," Kenny agreed with me. He was apparently listening on our conversation.
"How unusual?" Ray asked nervously.
"Unusual as in a 'Don't be with him out in public, cause he'll humiliate you like there's no tomorrow' kind of way," I answered smiling.
"Oh," Ray said, exhaling deeply. "Thanks, but I don't want to trouble you."
"We're team mates," I explained. "We look out for each other. Some of us in our own ways." I glanced towards our team captain, who was ignoring our conversation.
Finally we arrived at our home town. Max's dad was waiting for him with Kenny's mom. They were both talking about the team's latest victory. Max's dad had a proud look on him. His son just came back from winning the world tournament (don't know if they did, but let's just say they did). Kai's grandpa stood alone. His eyes focused on a certain beyblader. My grandpa was chatting up a storm with other people as they waited for their respective travelers.
The Bladebreakers headed towards our family members except for Ray. He walked over with me. Grandpa was kind of busy so he didn't notice us approaching him. Oh just great, Grandpa just had to be embarrassing me again!
"Hi Grandpa," I said behind him.
"Hiya," Grandpa turned around to face me. "Didn't see you there, dude. Let's go and party!"
"Uh, sure Grandpa," I said hesitatingly. "I'd like you to ....."
"I don't believe we've met," Grandpa noticed Ray. "I'm Tyson's grandpa and you must be Ray? Am I right?"
"Yes, you are," Ray said, a little nervous.
Leaning over, I whispered, "See what I mean." He only nodded his head in response. Talking out loud, I added, "Ray doesn't have a place to stay tonight. Could he stay with us?"
"No prob!" Grandpa said. "We have some major partying to do!" He took the both of our hands hand dragged us to his car.
Inside the car, Grandpa went off about our tournaments and wins. Ray just sat there silently. What was going through his mind? I think it had something to do with his former team, but I wasn't sure about it.
"Hey Grandpa," I interrupted him.
"Whatsup, my man," Grandpa said.
"We were planning on having a sleep over at Max's tomorrow," I mentioned. "To celebrate us winning the world championship."
"Sure, dude," Grandpa agreed to me being out. "We'll just chill out tonight. Do you think I don't want to celebrate it with my grandson? Hm?"
"Uh, no," I replied.
"Good," Grandpa smiled. "Ray, why so quiet?"
Snapping back to reality, Ray answered, "I was just thinking."
"Thinking about what?" Grandpa pried.
"Grandpa!" I practically screamed at him. "It's rude to pry in other people's business."
"Okay," he answered sheepishly.
Ray looked over towards me and mouthed 'Thank you.' "What do you have planned for tonight, Mr ... uh?" He asked, changing the topic.
"Just call me Grandpa," Grandpa said. "I don't mind."
"Sure," Ray hesitated for awhile.
"We could make prank phone calls?" I suggested out of the blue.
"Tyson!" Ray chided me, only to be in shock when Grandpa had agreed.
"Sounds cool to me."
Ray just hung his head. "Why do I even bother?"
"Lighten up, I was just messing with yah," I teased him.
"Oh really," Ray said, raising his brow.
"Uh huh," I nodded. "So what do you want to do?"
"I haven't really thought about it," Ray confessed.
"I know!" I said loudly, following a period of silence. Ray jumped about a few centimeters but was held back by his seat belt. "We can give you a tour. It isn't much to see."
"Tyson, remember where I came from?" Ray said.
"Oh yeah," I recalled. He came from an isolated mountain village.
"We can do that," Grandpa said. "First we'll have to stop by our pad."
"Does he always talk like that?" Ray whispered in my ear.
I whispered a response. "I've been trying to persuade him to act like a 'normal grandpa' for a long time so I just gave up on it."
"And I thought I had it bad," Ray whispered.
"You should see him on Christmas, when he goes on a sugar high," I whispered, while shuddering. "It's not a pretty picture."
"It's worse?"
"You better believe it." I rolled my eyes.
"Ray?!" Grandpa interrupted our conversation. "Where are you going to stay after tonight?"
"I'd either go back home or stay with my grandpa," Ray shrugged.
"Isn't your grandpa going to conferences and meetings?" I wondered.
"Yeah," Ray answered. "He's going to be racking up a lot of frequent flyer miles."
"Where do you live?" Grandpa asked.
"China," Ray said.
"That's too far away to be from your team mates," I protested. I really wanted the team to stick together. After we've been through, I felt my team was the family I missed.
"What do you suggest?" Ray turned his full attention to me.
"You're staying with us!" I announced.
"I don't want to...."
Before Ray could finish his sentence, Grandpa had also agreed. "Chill, of course you can stay with us, but you'll have to do your part of the chores."
"I can do that," Ray said.
"Great!" I placed an arm around his shoulder. "Just wait until we tell the rest of the team!"
At home, we began unpacking our belongings. Ray needed to make a phone call to his grandpa and the White Tigers. I wondered how his former team would react to him not coming home. Then again, he did want to learn more about beyblades and would bring home the information.
So now the team was going to stay together. I was afraid at first, because one of our members might be living far away from us. No, I don't have a crush on Ray, but it wouldn't be the same without him. Max, Kenny, and Kai lived nearby so we can see each other as often as we'd like. Thinking back, my first family was torn apart by my grandma's departure. I don't want to risk that with my second family. There was no way I was going to lose them. Fortunately, Ray was going to stay at my home.
Out of the team, he was the one I could relate to. Both of us have pasts, we don't like to talk about. I don't know about Kai, because he keeps things to himself. Heck, I don't even know much about our team captain. The entire team knew about Ray and his past with the White Tigers, but they have yet to discover mine. Not that I'm complaining.
Ray returned from making his phone calls. His grandpa approved of the arrangements. The White Tigers were a little disappointed, especially Mariah. She wanted Ray to come home so they can spend more time together. Lee wanted Ray to teach him the things he learned while traveling, but he understood when Ray mentioned that he still had more to learn. Their captain wished him the best. Mariah wanted him to write her every day. Ray said he couldn't promise that, but he would write her as often as time allowed him.
This couldn't get any better! We won the world tournament. My second family was staying together. Ray was staying with me. If there was ever a time to celebrate, I'd say now is the perfect time!
Wingzero: As requested another chappie.
Ray: Why am I living with Tyson?
Wingzero: Would you rather live with Kai?
Ray: .........
Wingzero: I take that as a no.
Tyson: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Max: He's still sleeping?
Kenny: I don't blame him. He still has those nightmares.
Kai: What nightmares?
Ray: You haven't noticed?
Kai: You haven't either!
Ray: -_-; Oh yeah.
Wingzero: I'll be starting school next week, so I'll be cutting down on which fics I'm going to update on a regular basis. If you want this to be one of them, then send in the reviews. Otherwise, I'll update every so often. Ja Ne. ^_^
Tyson: Eh?
Kenny: You're seriously not considering it, are you?
