Chapter Four: Festival?

"Okay.Ray, can you go up and get the girls?" Tyson asked as he wasn't really one to rely on, especially around girls.

"Yeah sure!" Ray said as he jumped out of the personal Bladebreakers bus.

As he was walking down the halls he didn't notice and literally bumped into Scarlett almost making her fall over.

"Oh hi Ray!" she said cheerfully while regaining her balance.

"Hi, um.are you guys all ready?" he asked.

"Yeah, I'll just go get everyone okay?" She said as she started to walk towards her room. "Just wait here, I'll be right back!"

"Okay." Ray just stood there for what seemed like hours but was only about five minutes. He perked his head up as he heard some laughing and saw all the five girls walking towards him.

"Hi Ray!" Cushla said as she walked up to him and smiled.

"Hi!"

"Okay then.come on guys let's get going, we don't want to be late!" Lauren said as she walked up to them from behind.

~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^~~~~~

The Riots stepped of the bus they caught and walked into the grounds were the festival was supposed to be held.

"What the hell?" Mitch said as he looked around in confusion.

"Okay then." Nick said confused as he looked around. They were all looking at an empty field.

"Hey guys, weren't we supposed to be going to a festival?" Jimmy asked thinking they had just made a wrong turn or something.

"Hey guys, the bus is already gone so we have to walk or.or.walk home?" Aaron said slightly wavy like.

"Oh great! .Why don't we just sit down for a while and see if anyone else turns up?" Mitch asked.

"Yeah okay." Jimmy said as he joined Aaron and sat down leaning against a tree trunk. 'looks like I won't be able to see Erica and ask her' he thought sadly.

~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^~~~~~

Ray climbed up into the bus and helped Cushla in. he went and sat down with Cushla beside him and watched as the others came in and sat down. Sarah went and sat down beside Scarlett and Erica sat down in an empty seat. Lauren climbed into the bus and looked around, 'sit beside Kenny, Kai or Erica?' She decided to sit down beside Erica in the end.

"Hey Lauren! I hope those Riot guys are there, don't you?" Erica said all excited.

Lauren just cocked an eyebrow at her and said, "Yeah.um.okay whatever."

"Well I do, that guy, what's his name, I think it's Jimmy or something, well, anyway, he was really cute don't you think so? Anyway I wonder if I should ask him out or not, you know like he is soooo cute and all..." Erica started saying but Lauren didn't really pay any attention to it, Erica was like this all the time, talking about guys' non-stop.

Lauren looked around the bus, Cushla and Ray were talking, about what she couldn't tell. She saw Sarah and Scarlett giggling over something else. Max and Tyson were comparing their beyblades to each other, Kenny was typing into his laptop and Kai.well.he wasn't doing anything. She cocked an eyebrow at him. "I'll be right back Erica!"

"But.Lauren? Do you think I should?"

"Yeah whatever!" Lauren said as she got up and walked over and sat down beside Kai.

"Hi, I'm Lauren." She said.

Kai opened one of his eyes and looked at her, it was the girl he was looking at earlier in the park, "Hmph, Kai." He replied.

"I know, you seem pretty bored though!" she said looking at him.

"Hmph, well when your surrounded by stupid bakas all day you don't really get to do anything worthwhile!" he said and opened his eyes to get a proper look at her then turned his focus back to the front.

"Yeah, I know what you mean!" Lauren said looking over at Erica for a quick reminder to herself. She sighed and sat back in the chair and closed her eyes.

Kai looked over at her for a second, 'so her name is Lauren' he smirked slightly. Yes she was pretty but.he would be damned if he was going to make a first move or anything. 'maybe she will?' he wondered, 'I mean, she did come over and talk to me!' he thought to himself while looking at her.

It was at that moment when she opened her eyes and saw him staring at her. She raised an eyebrow and then smiled.

"Hey Lauren, do you think I should, I mean, well." Erica started from behind her. She had moved to the seat behind Kai and her.

"Arg shut up, yes fine, whatever!" Lauren said frowning at Erica.

Kai smirked, she was bossy, she had an attitude to her just as he had heard from Max and Tyson talking.

Erica had a blank face, but then smiled widely, "Cool thanks!" she said as she hopped back to her seat.

"I see what you mean." Kai stated to Lauren. She smiled and laughed slightly. "Yeah."

~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^~~~~~

Nick opened his eyes when he heard a bus approaching. He watched as his team mates all sat up when they noticed it too.

"Hmm, someone else wanting to get to the festival probably!" Jimmy smirked.

They were right, they saw four people get off the bus and look around just as confused as they were when they first got here. They watched as they approached them, "Excuse me?" a girl with pink hair asked politely.

"Looking for the festival?" Aaron asked.

"Yes.now do you know were it is?" the tall one with his black hair tied back said and looked like he was getting impatient.

"Er, no. We were about as confused as you were!" Mitch answered.

"Okay then, quit wasting my time!" the tall one said and with that began to walk off.

The short one with green hair walked up towards them, "Don't worry about him, he is our team leader and has a bit of a short temper!" he whispered quietly to them.

"Kevin! I heard that!" the tall one yelled and stormed back towards them.

Kevin stood back and held his ground, "And? It's true!" he said standing still.

"Arg, Kevin we don't have time for this!" he said.

"Lee, we kinda do, the festival isn't here." The girl with pink hair said stepping in between the two.

Lee looked over at her and nodded, "Well then, since we have all night, why don't we do some training or so Mariah?" he asked.

"Yeah sure! Where's Gary?" Mariah said looking around.

The Riots just sat back and watched this wondering who these people were until everyone stopped what they were doing because another bus had arrived.

~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^~~~~~

Scarlett felt the bus stop and she looked out the window. "Hey guys, why isn't there anything out there?" she asked noticing a few people standing over beside a tree. "Apart from.one.two.three..eight people?" she stated to herself.

"I'll just go check!" Cushla stood up and got off the bus.to find nothing, "Huh?"

"Looking for the festival?" a pink haired girl came up to her and asked.

"Uh yeah, hang on!" Cushla jumped back onto the bus, "Hey come on guys, there are some people out here!" she said stepping off the bus once again. she watched as one by one Sarah, Scarlett, Lauren, Kai, Erica, Tyson, Max, Kenny and finally Ray got off.

Cushla turned around to see the pink haired girl looking rather stunned, "Ray?" the girl questioned rather quietly as he came up and stood next to Cushla and took hold of her hand.

[I know that this still isn't that good, but I thought I'd leave it on a bit of a cliff-hanger, =P. What will happen with Ray, Mariah and Cushla? Leave a nice review if you leave one please . ^.^]
