Chapter 10
Making New Friends, Sorta
"Well that was a fun plane ride" Joel said sarcastically. The plane was landing and Joel was trying to get the sleeping Tyson off of him before any drool landed on his arm.
"No. I think the best part will be me trying to get out of the stupid thing" Rachel said while trying to stand up.
"Before you get up, let me get our junk out of the overhead thing" Ray said.
"Overhead thing?" Rachel asked.
"Well I don't know what it's really called. OK?" he replied, poking her in the arm.
The Bladebreakers along with the other passengers started to head off of the plane except...
"Tyson!" Kenny yelled, realizing that he was still asleep in his seat.
"I swear I'm gonna make him suffer in practice if he makes us late." Kai started crossing his arms and making his way back to Tyson's seat.
"I'm not too sure if you'll be able to wake him up, Kai. You know how hard he sleeps" Max said.
Kai didn't say anything but grabbed Tyson's ear. He continued to drag the screaming Tyson off of the plane.
The rest of the group found the BBA bus and waited while Kenny talked to the driver.
"It appears that this bus is taking another group with us. They're called the Tri-Elements and are supposed to be arriving in an hour and a half" Kenny stated.
"Can anybody say sight-seeing?" Joel said with a grin.
"You act like such a nerd sometimes" Rachel replied while putting her Good Charlotte CD in her cd player.
"Let's just meet her in an hour so we don't miss the bus" Kenny said.
The Bladebreakers had been sitting on the bus for over two hours.
"How late can a plane be?" Kai said.
As soon as he finished, a girl around the age of thirteen with short brown hair walked on the bus. She was followed by an older girl around fifteen with shoulder length black hair.
Kenny stood up and asked "Are you two part of the Tri-Elements?"
"That we are. My name is Haley" the girl with brown hair replied.
"Hi. My name is Heather. Pleasure to meet a team that's definitely gonna lose to us" the girl with black hair said with a smile on her face and while waving.
"What was that?" Kai shot out.
Haley elbowed Heather in the ribs and whispered to her to shut up. Heather shrugged her shoulder and walked off the bus.
"Sorry about that" Haley said. "You guys can go ahead and take this bus to the hotel."
"But what about the rest of your team?" Max asked.
"We're catching a cab. We don't ride with our so-called competition" said a girl who just walked on the bus and grabbed Haley's arm.
"And who are you?" Rachel said while taking off her headphones.
"Names Kari" said the girl with short red hair. She looked around the bus and found a cute looking boy that was sitting next to the girl that asked her name. She gave him a smile before saying "Come on, Haley.
The others are waiting on us."
The two got off the bus and left with Heather, who was waiting for them.
"Friendly bunch, huh?" Joel said.
Max was looking at Kenny, who was typing away on his laptop.
"What's wrong, Chief?" Max asked.
"That team name sounds so familiar. That's it! They've won this tournament the past three years in a row!" Kenny yelled.
"It doesn't matter" Tyson started, shaking his fist. "We're gonna win this thing!"
"That's right. We got this in the bag!" Rachel said, standing up.
Ray stood up beside her. "Yeah guys. We just gotta work hard and no one can beat us!"
"Practice is the keyword" Kai said. "As soon as everybody gets their stuff in their hotel room we're having practice."
Tyson just slumped back down in his seat and let out a groan.
"Oh don't be such a big baby, Ty" Rachel said, playfully hitting him in the arm. "You had to figure we were gonna have practice sometime."
"But why so soon?" Tyson whined.
"Hey, that just means the tournament is gonna start sooner" Max said cheerfully, even though in his head he was still seeing Haley.
The bus jerked forward making Joel, Max, Rachel, and Ray fall back into their seats. When they finally arrived at the hotel, the Bladebreakers stood in awe looking up at the huge hotel. It seemed to have everything. It had three huge pools, waterslides, the beach was across the street, and it had elevators on the outside of the building so you had a great view. They all walked into the lobby while Kenny got the keys to the rooms from the lady behind the desk.
"It appears that so many people wanted to come to the tournament that they only had four rooms" Kenny said looking at the team.
Ray looked at Rachel and grabbed her arm. "Darn. I guess we're just gonna have to share a room."
" I'm not too sure if that's the way I want the room arrangements" Mr. Dickenson said while walking up to the group.
" You don't trust us, Mr. D? I'm am truly offended" Rachel said with a fake pout.
" Why don't we do this. Rachel and Tyson, Joel and Max, and Ray and Kai. Then Kenny, you can just stay in the room with me" Mr. Dickenson said.
"Um..." Rachel started looking between Ray and Kai who seemed like they would kill each other the chance they got to the room.
Ray looked at Rachel and gave here a quick smile. " That's sounds fine. That way people won't think anything happened between me and Rachel."
Rachel gave her best fake smile to him.
"Let's hurry up and get to practice" Kai said wile walking off to the elevators because their room was on the seventh floor.
After a four hour practice, Tyson passed out on his bed and started snoring as loudly as he could.
"Looks like no sleep tonight" Rachel said to herself. " At least I finally got Redler to get his Flash Strike." She rubbed her finger across the top of her blade before putting it back in her pocket. She got out of her bed and quietly stepped out her room. She turned and around and screamed before a hand covered her mouth.
"Calm down. It's just me" Ray said with a grin plastered on his face.
"God. Give somebody a heart attack, why don't ya" She said hitting him in the sides. "What are you doing out here?"
"I could ask you the same question. I couldn't stand being in the same with Drill Sergeant Kai or I might have killed him. So I thought I'd see if you were still awake to go on a walk. What were you doing?" he asked.
She quietly opened the door to reveal Tyson's ear splitting snoring. "You think I could sleep through that?"
"Guess not" he said taking her hand.
They walked down to hall to the elevator. It started moving down and Rachel turned to look over the beach. Ray gently slid his hands around her waist.
" Isn't it beautiful?" she asked.
Ray just nodded his head as they stepped out of the elevator and headed toward the hotel doors.
" Hi there, again. Aren't you to from the bus earlier?" a voice from behind them asked.
Rachel and Ray both turned around quickly to see who was talking.
" Hey, isn't your name.."
"Kari" she replied, cutting off Rachel. She slowly walked up to them and put a finger under Ray's chin. "Your a little cutie, aren't ya?"
"Back off!" Rachel said slapping Kari's hand away from Ray.
"Oooo. Protective are we?" she said sarcastically. "Well I can see I'm not wanted. See ya!" She said, giving a wink to Ray.
Ray had to hold Rachel back, who looked like she was ready to kill the girl. Finally Rachel stopped struggling realizing how bad it was making her leg hurt.
"See what happens when you try to kill somebody?" Ray said letting go off her put putting his hands on her waist again.
"She better watch her back."
"Jealous type, are we?" Ray said with a grin.
"Please, I see how you are when Kai even looks at me" Rachel replied.
The clock in the lobby chimed. It was 1:30 in the morning.
"Guess we can't blade to well if we're asleep" Ray said.
" Your right. Like always. Why do you have to always be right, damn it? Why not me for once?" she asked.
"Not everyone can be as perfect as me" He said sarcastically.
"Oh really" she said pulling him into a kiss.
"Ok. You can be right this time" he said as they headed back to their rooms.
