One True Team
*I hope I didn't make the romance sound to mushy! I will be focusing on beyblading more in the next few chapters! Some romance will be in it but mostly beyblading! Thanks for reviews and I like to thank you for two reviewers who were the first to review my first chapter! They're not on the reviewing comments due to an accident with my story and account. But thanks and enjoy!

Solo crept out of the girls' room. It was pitch dark in the living room. Her black eyes darted about in the room. She could make out the coffee table, the TV, a few couches, and Kenny's laptop, which was left on the coffee table. The back of the laptop was facing the window, the stars sparkling outside with a glowing full moon.
She could hear Tyson's constant sleep talking and snoring from the boys' room. Everyone else was sleeping. It was 1:00. Solo couldn't sleep. She kept thinking about the incident about Kai and the dance. Nope, I'm not falling for Kai, she thought. Taking out her beyblade, she held it up and stared at it. Standing by the window, the moonlight shone brightly on Bengalion.
"You're not strong enough just yet," Solo muttered, as she stared at the black beyblade. She banged the window ledge with her fist. "I should have practiced more. Then maybe I wouldn't be so afraid that I'd lose in a match." She clenched her fist and stared out the window. "A full moon. It probably represents good luck." Solo stared out the window until the mirror reflection caught her eye. Someone was standing behind her. Turning around, Solo found herself staring at Kai. She sighed. Then again, she thought, maybe I am kind of falling for him.
"We're not strong enough as partners yet," she said. Kai nodded. There was silence as the twosome stared at the moon.
"Say, Kai," Solo started. "About the dance, I just wanted to tell you that I -" She got cut off when Kai grabbed her by the shoulders, turning her away from the window gently. Kai stared at Solo, taking a deep breath, not sure what to do. Solo stared back, rather confused. Slowly, he bended down towards her, and their lips met before anyone knew it. It was only then did Solo truly understand that Kai was kissing her and that he liked her. It was her first kiss, as well as his first.
As Kai's lungs were about to burst, the two of them pulled apart, both surprised and yet shocked. They stared at each other for a moment before Solo moved. Solo reached up with her hand and brushed the front of Kai's hair away from his face. In the moonlight, she looked down at her feet, a blush running through her cheeks.
"You're not so mean as the others described you," Kai finally said.
"Who said I was?" Solo leaned on Kai's shoulder as she looked at the moon. Kai put his arm around her shoulder. The couple stood there.

"Rise and Shine TYSON!!!!" Max yelled. The Wildcats and The Bladebreakers were waiting for Tyson again to get up from bed. It was morning and the two teams had some serious training to do. Ray sighed as he watched Kenny try to pull Tyson out of the bed. But Tyson only kicked him for that.
"Come on," Kenny groaned, rubbing his elbow from the bruise Tyson had given him. "Tyson, we have to train and practice our strategies for the Team Pairs Championships."
"Watch this," Lexis nudged Saber. Sneaking up to Tyson's bed, Lexis bended down and said in Tyson's ear, "Kai and Ray are already downstairs eating your share of breakfast."
In 2 seconds, Tyson sat up in the bed. "Lexis, where's my cap? MAX, WHERE DID I LEAVE MY CLOTHES AGAIN???? Kenny, go downstairs and tell Ray and Kai to stop eating my breakfast! What's so funny, Lexis?" Everyone was laughing at Tyson, except for Kai. Even Solo had a faint smirk on her face.
"You fell for the same trick twice!" Lexis told him gleefully. "I did the same thing to you yesterday and it's déjà vu all over again!" Tyson just looked at everyone with a surprised look.
"Oh yeah? I bet I won't do the same thing tomorrow!" he declared as he banged the door to the bathroom.
"Prove it!" Lexis said to the bathroom door.
"I WILL!" Tyson yelled back. Saber chuckled to herself as Terri rolled her eyes to the ceiling.
Solo blushed slightly as Kai's eyes stared into hers. They remembered what had happened last night. Terri noticed this.
"Say, what's up with Solo and Kai?" Terri whispered to Saber. "Never before have I seen Solo's cheeks so pink."
"I was thinking about the same thing with Kai," Max told the two girls. "The ice in his eyes practically melted when he saw Solo." Saber and Ray just shrugged at that.
Soon, after breakfast, the two teams started practicing in the hotel training room.
"Alright Dizzy," Kenny said as he opened up his laptop. "Tell us what data you have for us. Say, what's this?" Kenny asked Dizzy. He found a file that was new.
"I don't know Chief," Dizzy's voice sounded. "You must have left my camera on last night when you left me on that dusty coffee table. I might have taped something."
Kenny tapped a few keys and a window popped up. The recording read 1:00 am. Kenny saw a figure in black moving about. The person came into view of Dizzy's camera. Kenny adjusted his glasses as he watched the person take out a black beyblade from his or her pocket and murmur to it, "You're not strong enough just yet."
OKAAAAY, Kenny thought. He looked around. "Hey Ray! Saber! Do you guys recognize this person in the camera?" Ray and Saber walked towards Kenny, and then towered over the laptop. Ray drew back in surprise.
"Where did you tape that?" he asked. "It's like a scene from a movie where someone goes to be alone."
"I accidentally forgot to turn off Dizzy's camera on the laptop," Kenny explained.
"This person's got a beyblade," Saber pointed out. "Maybe it's mysterious Russian mailer who gave us that Russian note yesterday at the door. But come to think of it, this person looks kind of familiar."
"Hey, Max! Terri! Come on over here," Ray called. Terri and Max laughed as they grabbed their beyblades and ran over to Ray.
"Say Ray, what's up?" Max asked.
"Kenny found this recording from last night and perhaps you might know who this mysterious person is?" Max and Terri both studied the person moving about in the recording.
"Hey, Kenny, pause it." Kenny paused the recording. Terri squinted her eyes.
"I don't know," she said. "But that person looks like a girl to me."
"Yeah," Saber agreed. "The figure looks like a girl."
"Hey, Tyson! Come here! You too Lexis!" Max called. Lexis and Tyson ran over.
"Are you giving me something to eat?" Asked Tyson. Everyone sweat-dropped. "Uh. . . . I take that as a no. Then are you telling me when we eat-"
"Tyson!" Kenny cut in. "Do you and Lexis recognize this person?"
"It's a girl," Lexis answered almost immediately. "Athletic built, tall, beyblader."
"No clue!" Tyson simply yawned.
"Kenny, continue playing that recording," Ray said. Kenny tapped a key and the recording continued. Soon, they could see another figure behind the so- called-girl, both looking out towards the window.
"We're not strong enough as partners yet," the girl said. The guy, who was taller than her with an athletic built nodded.
"Come on, just kiss her," Saber insisted. Everyone laughed. "I dare you to."
"Man, this is so soap opera!" Tyson exclaimed as the girl and guy stared at each other. There was silence as everyone stared at the screen, watching the two people stare at each other.
"Oh my gosh, what are you waiting for? Just go on and kiss her already!" Saber groaned.
"You must have watched one too many soap operas, Saber," Ray joked.
"Actually I don't. I just watch those romantic movies because Terri always watches them and she won't let me have the remote control!"
"Ah, this is sooo sweet," Terri said dreamily as the guy embraced the girl. The two kissed.
"EWWW! HOW CAN YOU EVEN SAY THAT?" Tyson shrieked. He covered his face with his gloved hands. Lexis laughed.
"Now she's brushing his hair away from his face," Max said. Lexis stared at the girl and the guy, thinking.
"Wait a minute. Hey Kenny! Stop the recording! All right, lighten up the scenery so that it will be bright enough for us to see."
Meanwhile, Kai and Solo were furiously practicing their beyblade strategy. They had now called their attack the Collision course. Both beyblades attack from both sides at the same time and expertly spun the other beyblades right out of the stadium.
"Those were some sweet moves," Kai commented for once. Solo smiled shyly.
"Thanks," she said. The two of them stared at each other, remembering what had happened last night. I guess that makes him my boyfriend now, Solo thought. Kai gave her a warm look, which looked more friendlier than his usual cold expression.
"OH MY GOSH!!!!!!" Tyson yelled as he flopped onto the floor laughing. Ray and Saber were laughing their heads off while Lexis laughed until she coughed. Terri and Max were both giggling and chuckling hysterically while Kenny was covering his mouth to stop laughing. Solo and Kai looked in their direction, wondering what was so funny. Solo followed Kai as he walked to the laughing group.
"What's so funny?" Kai asked annoyingly. Nobody answered him because they were still laughing like maniacs. By now, everyone's face was red and they were either clutching their stomachs or covering their mouths. Kai glared at them. Solo frowned.
By now, Tyson had managed to sit up on the floor with Lexis' help. Ray was biting his cheek while Saber was biting her lip. Both were trying to stop laughing but without success. Terri and Max were giggling quietly to themselves and Kenny adjusted his glasses. They were desperately trying not to laugh but they were still giggling and shaking. Finally, Tyson managed to stop giggling.
"So, Kai, how does it feel to have your first girlfriend?" Tyson asked sarcastically. Kai stepped back, tongue-tied.
"Solo, how does it feel to have the team captain as your boyfriend?" Lexis pressured on. Solo stepped back also, accidentally bumping into Kai.
"How's our new couple doing?" Terri and Max asked jokingly. Solo and Kai just stared at them, mouths opened. Solo's cheeks turned pink and Kai looked down at his feet.
"Solo and Kai, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Ray and Saber sang.
"But, how did you. . . . ." Solo and Kai both stuttered. Kenny grinned as he opened up his laptop. Kai and Solo stared into it. Tapping a few keys, Kenny smiled. "Play it again, Dizzy!"
"You got it, Chief!" Dizzy said as a default player window showed up. It started with a figure stepping into the room. Then everyone saw the figure look out the window and take out a beyblade.
"Hey wait a second-" Solo started. Another person behind the figure, stared into the figure's eyes as he turned her around.
"Is that-" Kai stuttered. Everyone was laughing now as the two figures in the recording kissed.
"Now, is it true that you two were making out under the pale moon light, Kai and Solo?" Tyson asked sarcastically. Kenny paused the two figures kissing, tapped a few keys and the setting in the recording brightened. It now clearly showed a picture of Kai and Solo kissing. Solo practically grabbed the laptop and glared at it shockingly. Everyone laughed even harder. Solo handed the laptop to Kai. He took one look and his eyes grew so wide that you could see the whites around his eyes.
"Oh gawd," Tyson gasped as he shakily got up. "You know what the funniest thing is? Kai actually has emotions! And it's for the quietest girl too!" Lexis gulped when she saw Solo's eyes narrow. Whenever Solo did that, that probably meant BIG TROUBLE. Since Solo was a black belt in martial arts, karate, and who knows what else, she means business when she's angry. Kind of like when Saber gets pissed off.
"Umm, Tyson?" she whispered.
"Yeah Lexis?"
"I think you should stop laughing about it."
"Why? This is my one way opportunity to embarrass Kai and to show the sourpuss revenge!!"
"I wasn't referring to Kai."
"Oh. Oh well, Solo doesn't seem to be too mad about it."
"You've just pissed her off. And nobody ever dared to make her angry. You wouldn't want to see her angry."
"Ah, lay off will you? I'm just having a little fun."
"Last time Saber pissed her off, she broke a chair and gave Saber a black eye."
". . . . . . . Okay, let's start working on our techniques on Beyblading," Tyson yelled, changing the subject.
"Righty-o!" Saber exclaimed as she and Ray walked over to a dish. Max and Terri talked to each other, smiling. Tyson and Lexis joked about as they ran over to another dish. As for Kai and Solo, they gave each other a determined look and went back at practicing their Collision course attack.
"Alright, ready Terri?" asked Max.
"Ready," Terri smiled.
"Let it rip!" Both beyblades spun off their launchers and landed in the middle.
"Alright, let's try this. Draciel! Begin defense maneuver!"
"Cougarah! Begin Defense shield!" Both beyblades stayed in the middle, then spread out a bit. The virtual beyblades tried to attack them, but couldn't shake off their defense.
"Draciel, attack!" Draciel attacked the virtual beyblade and it spun out of the arena.
"Alright! Cougarah, Mountain Cat attack!!" Cougarah swerved around the dish, then rammed the other virtual beyblade right out of the dish.
"Yes!" Max and Terri slapped high fives. "We did it! All we needed was teamwork and strong defense!" They stared at each other, then laughed.
"Go Driger!" Ray shouted.
"Go Panthera!" Saber yelled. Both beyblades were circling around the dish across from each other. The other two virtual beyblades were in the middle. "Let's try out our plan. X-claw Collision!"
"X-claw Collision!" Driger spun from the side to the middle diagonally, crashing one of the virtual beyblades away. The beyblade spun away from Driger, but was not prepared for Panthera. Panthera spun away from the right side of Driger diagonally and attacked that beyblade Driger had just crashed into. The beyblade bumped into the other virtual blade and both of them crash landed out side the bowl. Ray and Saber grinned.
"Yes! Now we've finally got the timing right!" Ray exclaimed.
"Right on!" Saber laughed. "Now we're ready!"
"All right Tyson, whenever you're ready," Lexis told him. Tyson smiled at Lexis.
"Okay, listen up Dragoon! Phantom hurricane attack!" Dragoon began to form a massive hurricane around the entire bowl. The other two virtual beyblades were forced to stay in the middle of the dish. Jagurah was caught up with the hurricane and rose up with the massive storm.
"Let's add a little twist into this," Lexis grinned. "Jagurah, Camouflage Adaptation!" The entire hurricane turned orange. Now Jagurah was completely hidden among the orange colored hurricane. Tyson looked about.
"Where did it go?" he asked shockingly.
"That's the tricky part," Lexis said. "Jagurah, Jaguar Paw Scratch!" Jagurah suddenly slipped away from Dragoon's hurricane and dive down to the middle. It landed directly on one of the virtual blades and sends it flying out of the dish. Dragoon then attacked the other blade and that one went flying away as well.
"Alright!!!" Tyson hugged Lexis so hard that she almost couldn't breathe. "We did it! We did it!"
"Uh. . . . Tyson?. . . . As much as I like you, I'm about to suffocate here!? . . . ."
"OH! Sorry!" Tyson slowly let go of Lexis. Lexis smiled at him.
"Next time you want to hug me, can you not suffocate me?" she asked jokingly. Tyson, seeing her not mad, gave her another hug.
"Is this better?" he teased her. Lexis laughed.
"Yeah, much better." She started to laugh when Tyson started to tickle and poke her in the stomach. Tyson laughed. He loved seeing Lexis laugh.
"Lexis?" Lexis stopped laughing when she saw Solo standing in front of her. "We've just received another threatening letter." Kai showed her a note that was in the same blood red ink and in Russian. Tyson, who was still holding her by the waist from the back, rested his chin on her shoulder as he and Lexis stared at the letter.
"This time it says: This is the last time I'm going to warn you. Resign from the Team Pairs Championships or get hurt!" Kai told them. Tyson growled in anger. Ray, Saber, Terri, Max and Kenny had also joined them.
"Well, whether or not I get hurt," Tyson yelled. "I'm still going to beybattle in the championships because I didn't come all the way to Russia for nothing!"
"Tyson's right!" Terri agreed.
"Yeah. Nobody's going to scare us away with stinky red ink!" Ray declared.
"Whenever you're ready guys," Max said. "I'm going too."
"Me too," Solo replied.
"We're gonna show this idiot who's boss cause we ain't chickening out on the championships!" Saber shouted.
"You got that right," Kenny agreed.
"Well, what do you say about this?" Lexis asked Tyson, turning her head to see his face.
"I'm going to say that we're going to go to the championships and WIN!" Tyson answered. "Who's with me?"
"We are!" Everyone answered. Kai just nodded at that.

Solo crept out of the girls' room. It was pitch dark in the living room. Her black eyes darted about in the room. She could make out the coffee table, the TV, a few couches, and Kenny's laptop, which was left on the coffee table. The back of the laptop was facing the window, the stars sparkling outside with a glowing full moon.
She could hear Tyson's constant sleep talking and snoring from the boys' room. Everyone else was sleeping. It was 1:00. Solo couldn't sleep.

Standing by the window, the moonlight shone brightly on Bengalion.
"You're not strong enough just yet," Solo muttered, as she stared at the black beyblade. She banged the window ledge with her fist. "I should have practiced more. Then maybe I wouldn't be so afraid that I'd lose in a match." She clenched her fist and stared out the window. "A full moon. It probably represents good luck." Solo stared out the window until the mirror reflection caught her eye. Someone was standing behind her. Turning around, Solo found herself staring at Kai. She sighed.

"OH! Sorry!" Tyson slowly let go of Lexis. Lexis smiled at him.
"Next time you want to hug me, can you not suffocate me?" she asked jokingly. Tyson, seeing her not mad, gave her another hug.
"Is this better?" he teased her. Lexis laughed.
"Yeah, much better." She started to laugh when Tyson started to tickle and poke her in the stomach. Tyson laughed. He loved seeing Lexis laugh.
"Lexis?" Lexis stopped laughing when she saw Solo standing in front of her. "We've just received another threatening letter." Kai showed her a note that was in the same blood red ink and in Russian. Tyson, who was still holding her by the waist from the back, rested his chin on her shoulder as he and Lexis stared at the letter.
"This time it says: This is the last time I'm going to warn you. Resign from the Team Pairs Championships or get hurt!" Kai told them. Tyson growled in anger. Ray, Saber, Terri, Max and Kenny had also joined them.
"Well, whether or not I get hurt," Tyson yelled. "I'm still going to beybattle in the championships because I didn't come all the way to Russia for nothing!"
"Tyson's right!" Terri agreed.
"Yeah. Nobody's going to scare us away with stinky red ink!" Ray declared.
"Whenever you're ready guys," Max said. "I'm going too."
"Me too," Solo replied.
"We're gonna show this idiot who's boss cause we ain't chickening out on the championships!" Saber shouted.
"You got that right," Kenny agreed.
"Well, what do you say about this?" Lexis asked Tyson, turning her head to see his face.
"I'm going to say that we're going to go to the championships and WIN!" Tyson answered. "Who's with me?"
"We are!" Everyone answered. Kai just nodded at that.
