Summary: it's not what you think, I just needed a title.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kim was down at the park again, Johnny had let her go off alone, which was strange. But she didn't think too much about it, she just ran to Ray's apartment and knocked on the door.

He opened the door "Kim! Wow......what happened to you?" he asked seeing how beat up she was.

"Johnny got annoyed at me" she answered, he looked at her face, his eyes quickly darting over the huge bruise and to her eyes. She smiled a bit, he leaned forward and kissed her, she winced and pushed him away gently.

"Sorry" she apologised. "I guess Johnny should get his nails trimmed" she joked.

Ray laughed and invited her inside. "would you like something to eat?" he offered.

"No thanks" she said politely, he sat down on the couch and told her to sit next to him, which she did. They just looked at each other, not saying anything. Ray lifted his right hand and pushed her hair behind her ear gently. She blushed, laying her hand lightly on his. He leaned forward and kissed her gently, she winced but didn't push him away, she just kissed him back.

'How can Johnny not see how sweet he is?' she thought while they were kissing. When they pulled apart from each other, they were both blushing slightly.

"Do you wanna go to the cinemas or something?" he asked.

"Yeah sure" she replied as he helped her up, and they began walking towards the cinemas.

"O.k., shall we go see, 'Return from Hollywood', 'Spider wars' or 'Critical Limits'?" Ray asked when they got there.

"You decide" she says, not knowing what to say. She didn't go to see many movies in cinemas.

He got them two tickets to see 'Spider wars', which Kim, secretly didn't want to see.

They got a coke each and popcorn to share.

The film was pretty scary, but Kim didn't say anything, or jump too much. Ray put his arm around her. Even though he was as nervous as ever, he didn't show it.

Near the end of the film, one of the spiders had mutated and was 10 times the size of the average man. The screen was showing a very detailed close up of it.

Kim shuddered "I hate Spiders" she muttered under her breath, Ray heard her.

"Why didn't you say before, we didn't have to see this" he whispered to her. Her response just being a shrug. "Do you wanna leave?" he asked

"No, I'll stay, you want to watch this don't you?" she replied

A slyish grin played in his lips, "My attention is going to be somewhere else I think" he said, kissing her again, she closes her eyes and kisses him back. The rest of the audience scream suddenly, and Ray says through the kiss. "I think the spiders dead now"

She mumbles back though the kiss "I don't care"

About 10 minutes later The walk out of the cinemas, holding hands. "That was a great movie wasn't it?" he asked, she pushed him playfully. He smirked, and they began walking back down to Ray apartment.

They reached the park and they heard cheers, from about 20 girls. Kim guessed it would be a beybattle "Come on lets go see who it is" she said, Ray nodded and they walked towards it.

As soon as they got there, they realised who it was, it was her brother.

"Oh crap" she muttered, and made to walk away, before a hand grabbed her wrist. She spun around seeing Enrique.

"Hello Kimberly" he said in a friendly way, she let go of Ray's hand.

"What do you want?" she asked,

"We've had good news, we're going back to Europe, he decided it was boring here" he explained, she pulled her wrist from his grasp.

"Yeah right, you really got bored" she said sarcastically. "You love it here, so does Robert I've heard you all talking, you were thinking of moving here a week ago!"

"Yeah well we changed our minds, and so might you, if you listen to me" he said, Ray was watching them, confused.

"Fine I'll hear you out" she snapped, again resembling her brother.

"well, you've been asked to come back personally, by James" Enrique said slowly.

"Why?" she asked in a normal tone.

"Isn't it obvious?" he asked, she shook her head, "Because he's finally given an answer" she stepped back, and looked and Ray, tears in the corners of her eyes,

"I...I gotta go" she said quickly running off.

"What's going on?" Ray asked.

"She has to go back to Scotland," Enrique sighs "there are 4 rich families in Scotland at the moment, of course the McGregor's are one of them. James belong to another rich family and ever since Kim and James were 5, their families decided that they would be perfect for each other. When she was 12 Kim asked James to be her boyfriend, and he never gave her an answer. But now he has"

Ray looked at the ground "Can she change her mind about him?" he asked

"No, she has to go back to Scotland, unless he changes his mind, she's stuck to it" Enrique smirked "So see ya Ray" he walked away, leaving Ray feeling seriously upset.

****

"You lying bastard!" Kim yelled once she had got home and been told the truth. They had been lying, it was a set up, she went to slap Enrique, but he grabbed her hand just in time.

"Quit your whining, you bought it on yourself, how many times did Johnny tell you to stay away from ray?" he sneered.

"You do realise I can just go see him" she snapped.

"Actually, he might not be single after to-night, we've arranged for 'an old friend' to go see him" Oliver said standing next to Enrique

There were tears in the corners of her eyes again "Why can't you all except that I love Ray!?" he asked

They were silent, Robert answered for them "Because you deserve much better"

"What I 'deserve' is not anyone's business, I don't care if I deserve better, I don't want better! There is no-one better then Ray!" she said before running up to her room, tears streaming down her eyes.

"Are you sure that's what you wanted to do Johnny?" Enrique asked pointing towards the stairs, "You own sister is going to hold a grudge against you for the rest of your life"

"So? As long as 's not going out with Ray, I'm happy" Johnny snapped.

"Fine what ever" Enrique sighed.

****

At Rays' flat there was a knock at the door, when he'd opened, he smiled. "Mariah!" he said

"Ray!, it's so good to see you" she replied. He hugged her and invited her in,

"How did you know where I lived?" he asked

"Someone told me" she replied innocently, " you don't seem too happy to see me, what's wrong?"

"You just came at a bad time, that's all, hey wait a second, why aren't you with Lee?" he asked, Ray and Mariah had argued about something stupid a month after the Championship finals. And she had gone off with Lee, they hadn't seen each other since.

"Me and Lee had a fight, so he's back in our home town" she explained. "Err Ray, why WAS this a bad time?" she asked

"A friend has to go back to Europe" he says bluntly, making it sound as simple as possible

"Oh, I'm sorry for asking" she mistook his bluntness for him being upset.

"Its o.k. hey do you want to go get a meal or something?" he suggested.

"Yeah sure" Mariah replied.
