How Does He Live Like That? 16

Disclaimer- I own beyblades, not "Beyblade".

Today, I shall now share two words of extraordinary wisdom: School sucks.

I'm so glad that you people actually like this story. Your reviews mean a lot to me. But I might not update too frequently over the holiday because I have a lot of plans, not to mention a lot of projects. (Don't comment on that, Anna or Melissa.) If you want to know what I'm thinking about right now, please refer to the two words of wisdom at the top. Thank you and have a good day.

"Six o'clock?! Oh my god! It worked!" exclaimed Tyson. Max looked a bit confused and eyed him suspiciously.

"What worked?" he asked carefully. Tyson quickly covered his mouth.

'I don't think that I'd want Max to know that I was taking some of Mr. Dickinson's pills illegally. It would be safer not to let Ray or Kenny know about this.' Tyson thought to himself. "Oh never mind." Said Tyson quickly. Max still looked a bit suspicious so Tyson decided to change the subject. "So, by the way, where are Ray and Kenny, anyway?" he asked. Max gasped.

"Oh no! I forgot about them!" he yelled. Now it was Tyson's turn to be confused.

"What do you mean, Max? What's wrong?" he asked, slightly alarmed.

"Well they left quite a while ago. About 25 minutes to be exact. First the phone started ringing and Kenny left at around 5:30. Then there was a crash upstairs and Ray left. They've been gone way too long!" wailed Max hysterically. Tyson put his hand on Max's shoulder, trying to quiet Max.

"Calm down, Max. Let's go and check."

~At the Parlor~

"Oh my gosh! What happened here?" exclaimed Max, looking around. All of the furniture was strewn around the room. The lamp was on the ground, the chairs were askew and...

"OH MY GOSH! NOT THE TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!" shrieked Tyson. The TV was lying on the ground on its side. The wires were popping out of the back and the screen was busted open as if someone had thrown a baseball through it and the glass littered the ground. Tyson threw his hands around its remains and started sobbing. Max stared blankly at him before clearing his throat.

"Um, Tyson?" he asked meekly. Suddenly, Tyson stopped crying and stood up quickly and dusted himself off.

"Stupid thing!" he muttered before kicking the TV's carcass. "It never even worked!" he spat before turning around and walking over to Max. Max blinked a couple of times.

"Um, Tyson, are you okay?" he asked.

"Hn. Whatever, let's just keep looking." Was the answer. Max hesitated for a second before following him.

"Um, okay." He replied meekly. Then he turned back and glanced around the room again. Then something that was lying on the sofa caught his eye. He took a closer look and gasped.

"KAI-----I mean-----TYSON!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come quick!" he yelled and 'Kai----- I mean-----Tyson' ran into the room.

"What is it, Max?" he asked. Max pointed a shaking finger over to the sofa. Tyson slowly walked over to the sofa and nearly screamed. There was a single, wireless phone lying on couch. "Oh...my...god..." he said. Just then he heard a voice calling from the other end.

"Kenny? Kenny? Are you still there? Kenny? Come on, answer me. Can you hear me?"

~Meanwhile~

"Great, maybe it wasn't such a good idea to come here after all." muttered Kenny to himself. He was talking to Mr. Dickinson when he suddenly spotted something out of the corner of his eye.

~Flashback~

Kenny stumbled towards the ringing phone, knocking down a few things in the process because of the lack of light.

"Where is it?" he asked himself angrily, fumbling around looking for the phone. He started grabbing wildly for the phone. "Where did it go?" he asked again when he discovered that the phone wasn't in its holder. A loud ring coming from the parlor seemed to answer his question. "Oh, that's where I left it." Kenny clumsily made his way to the parlor, knocking down everything in his path along the way. He finally made it to the phone about a minute later and turned it on.

"What do you want, now?" he mumbled into the receiver.

"Hello, Kenny. This is Mr. Dickinson." Came the voice from the other end. Kenny quickly straightened himself, slightly embarrassed.

"Oh! Hello Mr. D. Is there something you want?" he squeaked.

"Actually, I was just calling to find out while Max called early to find out how many of "Mac's Instant Reaction Painkillers" I took. I wondered if there was something that I should know that you're not telling me." Came the cheerful sounding reply. Kenny got a little alarmed.

"Um, n-no, Mr. D. N-nothing's g-going on. N-nothing at a-all." He stammered into the phone, glancing around nervously. Suddenly he spied the image of a doorway flickering on the opposite wall. "Hold on a sec, Mr. Dickinson." He said quickly before dropping the phone down on the couch and walking over to the wall ignoring the yells from the man on the other line.

"Kenny! Kenny! Where are you going? Kenny!" shouted the man's from inside the receiver.

Kenny walked up and peered uncertainly into the doorway. He could see nothing but emptiness. 'I'm certain that that wasn't there earlier. I have a feeling that I should find out what is it.' He told himself. Normally, he would have turned and ran as far away as he possibly could from the hallway but he felt like that some unknown force was drawing him towards it. He gulped once before stepping into it hesitantly. It seemed as though he were stepping through some kind of air bubble when he was walking through it. But as soon as he passed through it, the feeling was gone.

"That was disturbing." He told himself quietly, once he got through. Then he turned around automatically to look back and gasped in horror when he found that the doorway had vanished and was replaced by total darkness. Kenny whimpered a little and started panicking. "What should I do now?" he thought aloud.

~End of Flashback~

Kenny squinted ahead through the darkness. 'Well, I guess it's too late now.' he sighed. 'Well, I guess I might as well keep going.'

~Who Know Where~

"HEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO??????????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!" Ray yelled down the hallways. "Is there anybody in here? Hello?! Anybody?" The only sound that he heard was the echo of his own voice. "Darn it!" he cursed, slamming his fist against the wall. "I just HAD to investigate, didn't I?" he complained, "Why ------ does ------ it ------ always ------ have ------ to ------ be ------ me?" he yelled, slamming his fist into the wall with everything syllable he yelled. Then, he sank down to the ground to catch his breath, tired from his outburst. Suddenly, he heard loud footsteps in the distance. He lifted his head up and glanced down the hall. The footsteps were getting louder and they seemed to be heading in his direction.

He got back up to his feet and prepared himself for whatever that was coming his way. He squinted a bit and he could slightly make out a human form amongst the shadows. He held his breath as the figure came around the corner. He still couldn't quite see who or what it was. Ray took a couple of steps back just in case. He tried not to show his fear and he hoped that whoever it was wouldn't hear his heart beating. The figure came closer and closer. Soon Ray could slightly make out his silhouette. The figure seemed to be a boy with long (kind of spiky) hair, tied back in a ponytail and was wearing a T-shirt and baggy shorts.

"Ray? Is that you?" he asked softly.

"Tyson?!" shouted Ray, incredulously. 'Tyson' seemed to get a little annoyed.

"IT'S KAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!" He corrected rather loudly. Ray blushed a bit.

"Oops, sorry Kai, I forgot," he said uncomfortably. Kai acknowledged his apology with a grunt. "Well, at least it's nice to see that you're working on being 'in character'." Stated Ray. "Why did you yell like that?" he asked. Kai looked a little awkward.

"I'm not sure what came over me." He said quietly. Ray shrugged it off.

"Anyway, I really glad it was just you. I was beginning to think that I had something to worry about. So how did you get in here anyway?" he asked.

I think I'll end it there. I really wanted to write more except, I've almost used up all of my hours on the computer (I have a time limit on the computer each day.) and plus I still have to log on and post this. Ray and Kai are going to meet some familiar 'friends' in the next chapter so stay toned for scenes from the next chapter of Dragonball Z ----------- I mean "How Can He Live Like That". ^_^UU

~Sneak-Peak Scene From the Next Chapter~

Kai and Ray slowly made their way towards the strange shouting.

"DID NOT!" yelled a first voice.

"DID TOO!" yelled a second voice.

"DID NOT!"

"DID TOO!"

"DID NOT!"

"DID TOO!"

"LIAR!"

"AM NOT!"

"AM TOO"

"STOP IT BOTH OF YOU!" screeched a new voice.

"HE STARTED IT!!!" yelled the first too voices. Ray and Kai exchanged puzzled glances.

'What's going on in there?' they both thought in unison. They both tiptoed towards the door and peeked through the keyhole and they both gasped.

'It can't be!' they both thought.

How did you like it? Sounds interesting eh? Does it make you want to read more? Does it make you angry for not letting you? Don't it make you want to flame me? Do you think I'm evil? Yes? HOURAY! I should do more of these! ^_^

Bye!
