Chapter 2:

Just like old times Ray and Lee were standing around a stone dish that was chipped and battered as a result of age and vigorous training. They had their blades loaded and ready to go. "Three, Two, One!" shouted the boys in unison. The gang pulled their rip cords and ther blades spun in a circular motion descending to the dish, "DRIGER. ATTACK!" cried Ray As the blades landed in the dish Ray's bit-beast Driger glowed green and the sacred white tiger arose into the air,

"Galeon attack" shouted Lee in his usual calm voice. The Galeon bit beast glowed purple and a black panther rose into the air. The blades hit each other quite hard causing sparks to fly, "GALEON" yelled Lee "POUNCE" (A/N Don't know Lee's attack so I'm making it up) Galeon jumped upwards to Driger but Ray called out, "Tiger Claw!" The two blades were in the air rushing toward each other. They clashed and caused a huge explosion of light. The two blades blasted away from each other and each landed on the raised sidelines of the dish. Galeon was starting to spin out of control while Driger was spinning so slow compared to Galeon it was standing still. Ray used a last resort by charging towards Galeon. By this time Galeon had already stopped spinning and Driger just knocked it out of the dish. "You've still got it Ray" Lee said with a slight chuckle in his voice.

Later that night Ray was lying down on his side of the room of Mariah's bedroom staring at Driger and thinking of the wonderful times who will have and had at the White Tigers. Suddenly Mariah walked up to him snapping him out of his thoughts, "Hi chick" said Ray happily with a smile on his face. Mariah blushed. The red of Mariah's cheeks drained as she remembered why she had come to talk to Ray about. "Ray, why have you come here" Mariah said hurriedly. Ray yawned, "I'll tell you in the morning" he let out another yawn "Cause I'm really tired" he stood up and walked towards the bathroom to brush his teeth, "I WANT AN ANSWER NOW RAY" whined Mariah Ray turned round losing his previous smile, "Dam, I knew I'd had to tell you sooner or later" he moved forwards and stroked her cheek with the back of his hand and sighed, "Well..um the truth is I.er love you" Mariah's eye's watered, "I love you too Ray" They moved towards each other there faces nearing and lips coming closer into contact. When suddenly they both had their arms wrapped around each other and they were stood there in a lip lock.
