A/N: Hi again!! I'm back!!

Wow! I got some reviews!!! *eyes full of tears* Thanks to Lady BlackDragonFire and Fire Fox for reviewing!! You guyz are the best! ^_^ I'm glad you like my fic! Both of you write great fics too!! (I read some of them ^.^)

Disclaimer: Oh no!! Not again!!! *sighs heavily * Don't own beyblade; do own Starr (MY character, not yours). Sad, but true.

Chapter 2: "I don't Beyblade…."

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The Bladebreakers and their new friend Starr walked along the Main Street of New York City. Tyson, Max, and Kenny were near the front of the group. Tyson had already eaten two of the hotdogs he had bought at a concession stand before and was happily finishing off the last one. Rei, Starr and Kai held up the rear; Kai staying slightly behind, as always. (A/N: How typical)

"So, Starr, where do you live?" Rei asked, trying to start a friendly conversation.

"Well, I'm not really even sure how to answer that question, actually."

"WHAT!?!" Tyson, Max and Kenny stopped and spun around suddenly, causing Rei, Starr, and then Kai to bump into them and fall down. Other people walking near them shot them odd looks. Kai glared at them as they quickly walked away. Then he turned all his attention to Tyson and Max.

"I dunno. It's kinda hard to explain. I travel a lot." Starr explained to Rei and Kenny since Kai giving Tyson and Max a small piece of his mind. (A/N: Hahah poor Tyson and Max) "I don't really live in a certain place, you know what I mean?"

"Um, yeah." Max said a bit uncertainly. (A/N: Kai had stopped before Starr was done talking) He was still kind of confused, and his head hurt where Kai had pounded him….

There was a couple of seconds of silence as they all walked together.

"Oh, yeah! Hey you guys, I'm so psyched for the Chicago Cup Tournament!" Tyson burst out suddenly. "Are you guys ready?"

"Definitely!" Rei said eagerly. "I can't wait!! Hey, do you like to Beyblade, Starr?"

Just then, the warmth in Starr's eyes faded and they became cold. "I don't Beyblade" she said in a rather dismissive tone. Then she looked away.

* * * The Bladebreaker's Thoughts* * * *

Tyson- "Wow, she's touchy all of a sudden!"

Rei-"Oops, guess I shouldn't have said that"

Max- "Whoa, what's up with her??"

Kenny- "Um, okay…."

Kai- "Hmph!"

After that incident, nobody brought else up the subject, and the rest of the little trip went fairly smoothly. Starr came back to being her regular self, and the previous conversation was pretty much forgotten.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

That evening, after dinner, Mr. Dickinson had another announcement. "Boys," he began. "And Starr." He said, acknowledging the black haired girl. "I just wanted to let you boys know that Starr is going with us to Chicago and staying with us. I hope that's okay with you."

"We don't mind at all, Mr. Dickinson." Tyson said eagerly. After all, they did have a really good time sight-seeing after what had happened.

"Yeah!" Rei said.

"Fine with me!" said Kenny.

"We're gonna have a blast!!" said Max.

"Any objections?" Mr. Dickinson looked at Kai.

"Hmph!" Kai was sitting in his usual position; arms crosses, head bowed, and eyes closed.

"Um….I'll take that as a no, then"

"All right!!" Tyson shouted. He and Max exchanged high-fives.

"Ok then, it's settled. Starr will be coming with us. We'll leave tomorrow morning." Starr smiled to cover up her thoughts. "Just remember…." she told herself silently.  "If no one knows, then no one will be in danger…..I'm sure it'll all work out."

Ok, so I broke my promise. This chapter was shorter than the first one. I mean a LOT shorter. Sorry. ^.^; heheheh. Don't worry though, I already know what I want to happen next, but I just thought that this would be a nice place end the chapter. (see, i've got an explanation!!) Don't worry, you'll find out Starr's secret soon and you should already know part of it….Ok, I did my part, now plz review!!!

Buh-bye!
