Fiona walked next to the river, not really thinking about the world around her. Everything was calm, for once. The sun was slowly rising behind her.

'Isis?'

Yes, Fiona?

'Can you please find Dranzer for me? I need to talk to him.'

You called?Dranzer replied, entering the mind of his master's twin.

'That was fast. How's Fiore?'

Going nuts with the Demolition Boys around.

'Poor boy.'Fiona touched her still healing side,'This just isn't our week, is it?'

Nope.Isis mentally teased.

'Shut up, feather brains. I'm talking to your brother, not you.'

Didn't anyone ever teach you to respect your elders?

Funny, Sis, you never give me any respect.

Shut up.

Fiona went back to her walk, doing her best to ignore the bickering bit beats in her head.

Mistress Phoenix?a new, feminine voice entered her head.

'Draceil?'Fiona was suprised to hear the unfamilair bit beast in her mind.

Yes, how are you feeling?

'I've been better, but it's probably just worry.'Fiona smiled,'Is there something you wanted.'

I'm worried about Master Max. He's breathing unnaturally hard and sweating. I tried to talk to him but he won't respond.

'Great, now I've got a sick boy on my hands.'Fiona realized she was close to the Hobby Shop. She raced up to the front door, locked,'Ok, we'll do this the hard way.' She sudenly sprouted dragon claws and ran around to the wall under Max's window. With a little effort she climbed up the wall and pryed the window open.

Max was lying on his bed, sweating.

"Wow, you weren't kidding."Fiona muttered, looking down at the boy,'How long has he been like this?'

About two hours.Draciel replied,But he's been feeling bad for two or three days.

"Cuuute."Fiona muttered, feeling Max's forehead,'His forehead is NOT supposed to be cold.'

Cold?Fiona could hear the alarm in Draciel's voice.

'Relax, Draciel. Dranzer, find Tyson, Kenny, Ray, and, if he can escape, Kai. This isn't good.'

Yes, Fiona.

Is there anything I can do?Draciel asked.

'Try to contact Max, wake him up, even if it's just mentally.'

Yes Mistress Fiona.

'And stop calling me that.'Fiona added,'Isis, go wake the others. I'm not a doctor, I'm a dragon hybrid with a short temper.'

Of course Fiona.

~*~Across Town~*~

MASTER TYSON!!!!!! WAKE UP!!!!!!

MASTER RAY!!! MAX IS SICK!!!

Driger and Dragoon did their best to wake the sleeping boys up, but, being less in sync with the bit beasts as Fiona, Tyson and Ray weren't responding.

~*~Kenny's House~*~

"Kenny, Kenny."Dizzi gave an aannoyed grunt,"KENNY WAKE UP BEFORE I DELETE ALL YOUR BEYBLADE FILES!!!!!!"

Kenny rolled out of bed in shock,"Dizzi, what's going on?"

"Max is sick."Dizzi said weakly.

Kenny jumped to his feet and ran out of the house.

"He forgot to change."Dizzi said weakly.

~*~Hiwatari Mansion~*~

Kai, earth to Kai.Dranzer mentally poked his ?!SLEEPING?! master.

'Go away Dranzer.'Kai mentally hissed.

Max is sick and Fiona needs your help.Dranzer moaned.

'You know I'm not allowed to leave the mansion.'

I can teleport you there!Dranzer shouted,You NEED to get over there!

'WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THID BEFORE!!!!!???????'Kai mentally snapped.

Um.......Slipped my mind? hehe.

'Not funny Dranzer, let's go.'Kai began glowing and vanished.

~*~Back with Fiona~*~

"I HATE my life."Fiona muttered, dabbing Max's head with a VERY cold, damp cloth,"The one thing I hate more than my life is stupid bakas who can't stay healthy."

Quit whining.Isis mentally lectured.

'Shut up.'Fiona snarled,'Any luck Draciel?'

No, Mistress Fiona.Draciel replied sadly.

'One, calm down, the boy's gonna be fine. Two, QUIT WITH THE MISTRESS CRAP!'Fiona looked at the sleeping Max,"The one time in your life you look harmless and innocent, you're sick as hell, baka."

Suddenly Max's beyblade began glowing, and Kai appeared in front of her in a flash or red.

Kai stepped back dizzily,"Remind me not to do that again."

"Don't do that again."Fiona teased, receiving an annoyed glare,"Don't look at me like that, you left yourself wide open."

"Don't I even get a hello or a 'hey, it's nice ta see ya bro' or 'how's life with the Demolition Boys, bro'?"Kai snorted, then looked at Max,"God, Dranzer wasn't kidding."

"No, ya think?"Fiona hissed.

A VERY severe pounding downstairs announced the arrival off Kenny. A few moments later Kenny raced into the room, still in his nightclothes, making Fiona and Kai smirk.

"What?"the panting boy asked, then looked at his clothes, and blushed,"Oops."

"Yeah, well, worry about it later. Um, hi."Kai and Kenny looked up to see Max's father standing in the doorway. Fiona cringed,"Hi.........um, Max's dad."

"Oh, you're bloody brilliant."Kai rolled his eyes. (Where'd that come from?)

"Shut up, Kai."Fiona snorted.

"May I ask how the two of you got in here?"

"Window."Kai and Fiona said quickly.

"I should have seen that coming."Max's father (I don't know his name, seriously) (Falcona:Oh, you're bloody brilliant) (*SEATDROP*) sighed,"MAX!"

"You JUST noticed that?"Kai hissed, receiving a jab in the side from Fiona, a very PAINFUL jab,"Ouch."

"Shut up."Fiona snorted,"Can you do us a favor and get a hold of Tyson and Ray, they need a wake up call."

"Sure thing."Max's dad (Kail:You REALLY need to do some research) (Shut up!) said and ran out.

Fiona sat down on the edge of Max's bed and went back to the wet cloth treatment,"What do you think happened?"

"Probably worked to hard."Kenny looked at the sweating boy.

"Draciel said he's been feeling bad for a few days."Fiona brushed a strand of hair out of Max's face.

"WHAAAAAAAT?!!!!!!!"a woman shreiked downstairs.

"And that would be Max's mom."Kai's face found his hand,"This is going to be a loooong day."

"I couldn't agree more."Fiona, on instinct, got out of the way as Judy burst into the room, pulling Kenny with her.

"Maxy."Judy whispered, stroking the young boy's forehead, then turning back to the doorway, where her exhusband was standing,"HOW COULD YOU LET HIM GET SICK!!!?"

"But I........."

"But you what?!"Judy shreiked.

"It's not his fault."Kai defended his teammate's father, not knowing exactly why.

"STAY OUT OF THIS!!"Judy yelled angrily, making every male in the house shrink in fear. Fiona could have sworn she saw Max cringe.

"Well it's not."Fiona took a defiant stance much like her brother's famous pose, receiving an obvious 'are-you-crazy' look from the male population of the house,"Don't look at me like that."

'You're crazy!!!'Kai mentally lectured,'She's a lunatic!!!'

'No, she's just stressed.'Fiona glared defiantly at Judy,"Don't take it out on him because you're too busy to come down and take care of Max."

"JUST STAY OUT OF THIS!"Judy shrieked.

"Ya know what, make me!"Fiona, by some miracle, kept her Kai-like composure.

"Cat fight."Kenny announced dryly.

"IT'S NOT LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO HAVE A CHILD OF YOUR OWN!!!!"Judy snapped.

"No, I don't,"Fiona was geting mad,"but I do know what it's like to care that much about someone. So I suggest you keep your mouth shut and either help me take care of him or just leave."

"YOU LITTLE BRAT!!!!!!"Judy snapped, reaching out to slap Fiona.

'Ok, forget what I said about stress.'Fiona mentally snarled, making sure that she'd locked her brother out of their mental link and was talking only to the bit beasts,'PMS, that's the best explination I can come up with.'

Pray that's the only problem.Draciel mentally whispered, receiving nods from Dranzer, Drigger, who Fiona guessed had given up on Ray and Tyson, and Isis.

'Don't scare me.'Fiona mentally snarled,'The last thing we need is a hormonal, pregnant woman to make my life any worse.'

This would probably be a bad time to tell you she wreaks of hormones.Drigger cringed.

'This is NOT my day.'Fiona moaned.

"Tell this girl to leave immediately!"Judy ordered.

"Judy please...."

"Don't Judy please me!"Judy snarled.

Fiona gave her 'friend's' father a 'how-the-heck-can-you-stand-her?' look then turned to Kai,'You know that thing about having a long day?'

'Yeah?'Kai said almost warily.

'It's not gonna be a long nine months.'Fiona stroked the white beyblade in her pocket.

'You CANNOT be serious.'Kai went wide eyed at his sister's thoughts.

'She wreaks of hormones.'Fiona said,'This being a report from Drigger.'

'Greaaaaaat.'Kai mentally moaned,'And I thought my life couldn't get ANY worse.'

Kail:*sweatdrop*Oh, you're smart

Shut up, ok, now that I've made it through the shock of forgetting my own birthday, people, KailY *gets hit with a soccer ball* ok, Kail and Destiny, aka KaYuTa and Fates Twisted Child, are my cousins, best friends, fellow authors, and the other three members of the Anime Authoress family.

Destiny and Kail:Hiya

Well, thanks for the birthday suprise guys, I really needed it. My dad's stranded up in Iowa for my birthday, my THIRTEENTH birthday, my step dad dragged me out of bed at one this morning so his damn mother (Who, if I didn't know for a fact that she gave birth to nine kids, I'd think was still a virgin) would have a place to sleep, not to mention my teacher's been a complete bitch lately, ok, I'm gonna start ranting again. Anyway, thanks
