Okay, this idea just came to me last night while I was trying to fall
asleep. Then I realized I had band and needed to be at school by 7:30 .
Thus, I got my AU Beyblade fic idea.
Basically, the beybladers are all part of their school's band. I'm trying to reference as many characters as I can, and I can't promise I won't pick favorites. Naturally, I'll have to add in some Kai/Rei shounen ai. You've been warned, so no flaming!
The only other main pairings will be Max/Tyson and maybe Kenny/Dizzi. I'll have a couple one sided pairings (like Emily/Kai and Meriah/Rei) but the previous three would be the main ones. (Oh, and Dizzi is human in this fic, k?) Also, I'll have Rei + everyone, cuz he gets to be the lucky one ~winks~ and play a certain instrument (explaination later on).
Warnings: OOC-ness, shounen ai
Disclaimer: I don't own Beyblades. If I did, Kai wouldn't be so cold and him and Rei would be a couple.
Also, I have to metion one thing. After I thought up this idea, I realized it was similar to Theresa Maxwell's The Lady's Man. If you like this fic and Gundam Wing, check out her fic ~winks~

Musical Feelings : The First Rehearsal
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tyson stumbled into the classroom, blinking as everyone looked up at him. "What? Am I late?"
"Yes Tyson, you are." Judy said, tapping her foot impatiently. "Band starts promptly at 7:30."
"Uh, what time is it now?"
"Eight o'clock."
"Heh." Tyson glanced around the room, grinning sheepishly at all his friends.
"Just sit down Tyson." Kai ordered from the far side of the room, shifting his grip on the silver trombone he held.
A few people chuckled, moving so Tyson could sit down. The boy pulled out his trumpet, dumping his music onto the stand. Judy sighed.
"As I was saying before someone interrupted me, Max dear you need to keep a steadier beat. The whole band is counting on you."
"Right mom."
"Now, from bar 70. 1 and 2 and 3 and 4." The blond haired woman listened to her students for a moment, wincing as the clarinetists squeaked on their notes. She signaled everyone to stop, turning to the group. "Meriah, watch your fingering on that last note. Kenny, sit straighter."
Meriah blushed, quickly glancing back to see if Rei had heard. He hadn't. The Chinese boy was joking with Tyson, who sat beside him.
"Again, from bar 70."
Kai rolled his eyes, glaring at the younger musicians in his section. "Play it right this time."
The kids gulped, exchanged nervous looks, and nodded. Max leaned forward on his stool, laughing out loud.
"Give them a break Kai."
The Japanese youth turned his glare on the blond.
"You just worry about your part. Percussionists are essential to this band."
"Hey, don't talk to Maxy that way!" Tyson called over to Kai. He ended up on the receiving end of the crimson glare. "Sheesh, someone woke up too early this morning." muttered Tyson.
Rei shook his head, lifting his baritone as Judy signaled them to begin playing. "That's Kai for you."
The students managed to make it through the next 10 bars without trouble. Finally Judy stopped them, wishing she could leave and go home to bed. The kids had just played an off-key version of the Broadway tune, Tomorrow.
"Emily, watch your high notes."
The flute player sat up straighter, nodding her head. "Yes Ms. Judy."
"Teacher's pet!" Tyson exclaimed.
"Loser Trumpeter."
"Go back to 'Flute Land'."
"Enough!" Judy glared at the two, then addressed the whole band. "It's sounding . . . better. Kai, nice work on the trombone part, Tyson, it could use a little work. Rei, you've been practicing?"
"Yes ma'am." Rei grinned, his golden eyes wandering down the brass row. He caught Kai's eye and his grin widened at the other's nod of approval.
"Rei, way to play!" Meriah cheered. "You're the best!"
"Not as good as Kai." Emily shot back, smirking at the clarinet player. "He's perfect."
In the back of the room, Rei and Kai groaned. Everyone laughed.
Judy tapped her wand on her stand, gaining the group's attention again. "Let's try it once more, from the top. Then you can leave."
A wave of cheers sounded as everyone prepared to play. Ten minutes later they were dismissed. Dizzi jumped from her seat, nearly hitting Kenny with her French Horn.
"We're sounding better, aren't we?"
"Yes, however . . ."
"Oh, don't get into technical stuff Kenny. I think we're sounding better."
The boy closed his clarinet case, shrugging in defeat. "If you say so Dizzi."
Tyson slid his trumpet back onto the shelves, then hurried down the brass row to talk with Max. He nearly trampled some of the trombonist players Kai had glared at, causing them to freeze in place. Well, until Kai barked at them to get moving that is.
Rei set his baritone in its spot, kneeling to put down the mouthpiece. A presence behind him turned out to be Meriah.
"Sounding great Rei, you're the best player we have!"
Standing, Rei chuckled. "I'm not as good as Kai."
He smiled at the Japanese boy, who happened to pass them at the moment. Meriah raised her nose in disgust.
"You're way better then *him*. Anyways, what class do you have first this morning?"
"Science." Rei reached out and stopped the blue-haired trombonist. "Wait up, we have first period together today."
Kai nodded, flinching as someone tapped him on the arm. That someone could only be . . .
"What is it, Emily?"
"Want to go over math notes before class?"
"He can't." Rei stepped forward, placing a hand on Kai's shoulder. "We're heading to science together."
The two boys walked off, stopping only to pick up their bags. Meriah frowned. Rei had forgotten to say goodbye again.
"How come they hang out more together, then with us?" Emily wondered aloud.
Meriah shrugged. "Must be a boy thing. Oh, Lee wait up!" The pink-haired girl dashed off, leaving Emily to watch Kai and Rei slip out of the room.
"She's right. It must be a boy thing. I don't know why Kai even bothers to hang out with Rei. It's *such* a waste of time."

"Maxy, that was great! Your mom helping you at home?"
"A little," The blond confessed. Him and Tyson were heading to their classes, geography for Tyson and math for Max.
"Well, it's really coming along good. Catch you at lunch?"
"Yeah, later Tyson."
And thus, another routine day of school started. A day which nearly 50 tired musicians had to make it through.
TBC.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, how was it? Just to clear up a few things:
Flute Land, as Tyson told Emily to return to, is where my teacher says the flute players' minds go when they have rests in the music. He also says there's a Teen Land, which is kinda the same, except for everyone. You'll usually hear him say "And the flutes missed their cues because they were in Flute Land again!" or, something similar for other sections.
As for the piece the gang is playing, Tomorrow was the first thing that popped into mind. We have a collection of broadway tunes that we play, and that's one of them.
As for why Rei get's to be special, I'll save that for later. Anyways, now you know what I go through every Friday morning, except the Beyblade characters aren't there. I'm so brain dead right now, and it's only 7:30 pm. I was at school 12 hours ago! ~bangs head on keyboard~ Reviews welcomed. This is my first Beyblade fic, so be kind! However, I love to hear how I can improve. Until the next chapter, (I promise not to talk as much in that one) ja ne!
