(Note: The group is now about three years older… That makes Ray 17… =^-^= Meaning I can do a lot more… *Menacing laugh*)
Ray and Mariah sat by a small stream on a soft picnic blanket. A picnic of soup, salad and sandwiches was laid out in front of the two as they talked.
"Did you see his face? I thought he was going to pass out," Mariah giggled.
"I still can't believe she kissed him," Ray replied.
Earlier that day the group had been hanging out. For some odd reason, Nadia had suddenly grabbed Kai and kissed him.
"Well… She had the right idea didn't she?" Mariah smiled as she leaned closer to him bringing her face just inches from his. He smiled slightly and pressed his lips to hers in a loving kiss.
"AWWW! It's so cute!" came a laugh from the side away from the river.
"Tyson! Get lost!" Ray growled.
"HAHA!" Tyson laughed.
"Ya… Come on Tyson… Let's get lost," came a voice from behind a tree.
"Kansas, you little…" Mariah said as she got up.
Kansas laughed and poked her head out from behind the tree, "Come on Mariah. Can't a girl have a little fun?"
"You are so bad… Tyson… I pity you sometimes," Mariah laughed.
"Umm… ya… Well… We'll just leave you two love birds alone," Tyson said rubbing the back of his neck. Then he turned and walked away.
Kansas winked as she turned to follow her boyfriend.
"Those two," Mariah sighed.
"Now that they're gone… Where were we?" Ray grinned as he put an arm around Mariah and turned her towards him.
"I love you so much," Mariah said as she kissed him and hugged him close.
___________________________________________________________
Night soon comes and Ray lies awake in bed thinking of his beloved. He turned to his bedside table to look at her picture. They'd been through a lot and he was glad that she now knew who and what he really was. He was also glad that his friends knew as well. Thankfully he whipped the minds of the people who he felt didn't need to know about what had happened back at the American tournament.
Since then the two teams have become closer. Tyson was now dating Kansas. Max and Kintana were together. Kenny and Alicia were… sort of together… though they didn't like to admit it. He could even tell that Nadia and Kai had become… more… then just friends and rivals.
Things seemed perfect… Perhaps too perfect. He knows in his heart that it wouldn't last much longer. It never did. It was like winding up a toy car. The more you wind the faster it will go when it is released. The longer it takes for evil to arise the stronger it will be.
He brushes the thought from his mind and lays his head back down on his pillow and closes his eyes. Sleep soon finds his still figure.
_________________________________________________________
He awoke the next day to the singing of the birds. He sat up quietly and rubbed the sleep from his eyes as he got up and looked out the window.
"Well… time to get going. I promised Mariah I'd come see her match today," He said to himself. Mariah had been challenged several times by a young boy who she believed wouldn't be much of a challenge. She'd eventually given into him and they'd decided to have their match on this very day. The young boy was about 14 years old but looked much younger due to his short stature. Ray had the feeling that this boy was going to teach Mariah a lesson in not underestimating her enemies.
Ray smiled to himself as he got dressed and headed towards the local park. It was a nice warm day and the light breeze felt nice as it blew through his long black bangs and ponytail.
"What took you?" Mariah asked as he came into view. She hand her hands on her hips as she glared at him slightly.
"Sorry Mariah. I got up a bit late I guess," he said with a sweet smiled. He walked over to her and gently took her slender hand and pulled her close to him. He leaned down slightly, being a bit taller then her, and kissed her tender lips.
"DO YOU MIND!" came a voice all of a sudden. The two broke off the kiss to look over at the boy who looked rather disgusted at the scene before him, "I've got a battle to win."
"In your dreams kid," Mariah smirked as she got out her pink beyblade and placed it on her pink launcher. The bit on the top of the blade shimmered slightly as Galux prepared for battle. Mariah gently placed the ripcord in the launcher and got into her usual blading position with her legs spread apart, arms out and one bent slightly at the elbow and back bent just slightly.
"The names David!" The boy said as he took out his green beyblade and placed it on his yellow launcher and put in his green ripcord. He brushed a strand of brown hair out of his face as he bent his knees and his back bringing out his arms in his own blading position.
Tyson and the other Bladebreakers and Bladettes where present and all looked eager for the battle. Tyson watched with wide eyes as he held Kansas around the waste. Max and Kintana were sitting on the ground side-by-side and holding hands awaiting the fight. Kenny and Alicia were at separate ends of the area though they glanced over to each other every so often. Kai and Nadia stood watching intently beside each other both with their arms crossed.
Ray smiled and looked over to the two bladders, "Ready to battle?"
"Ready!" both replied eagerly.
"Then 3… 2… 1… LET IT RIP!" Ray shouted.
Both bladders pulled with all their might as quickly as they could, sending out their cherished beyblades. A flash of pink and a flash of green and the two blades began to spin around the stadium crazily. Mariah's eventually reached the center of the dish and began to spin on the spot. David's continued its crazy dance all around the dish seeming out of control. Mariah tried hard not to laugh. This kid had no idea what he was doing… or so she though.
"ATTACK!" David shouted all of a sudden. His blade suddenly went straight… straight at Mariah's blade that is. Its precision was amazing as it sent Mariah's blade flying into the air.
"GALUX! POUNCE ATTACK!" Mariah shouted as she watched her blade fall from the air. The blade began to glow slightly as it came down towards David's blade. The blades collided as Mariah's blade landed on top of his.
"Shake it off!" David shouted to his blade angrily. His blade began to spin crazily again going this way and that. Eventually Mariah's blade was thrown off but it still continued to spin rapidly.
"This guys not bad," Tyson said with a grin as he whipped his nose in his usual way.
"Whatever," Kai said calmly, "Mariah has him beat."
Mariah smiled at the comment and gave Kai a thumbs up, "Thanks for the vote of confidence."
"I wasn't trying to give you a compliment. I was just saying that that kid over there is a lousy blader," Kai said coldly.
Mariah smirked slightly, 'Ya right, Kai,' she thought to herself. She knew him better then that. He wasn't as cold as he liked people to think he was.
"Are you here to blade of chat?" the boy asked exasperated. He tapped his foot several times and yawned.
Mariah scowled slightly, "MOUNTAIN CAT ATTACK!" she shouted all of a sudden. The bit on her blade began to glow brightly and Galux emerged from it in all her glory. She gave a loud roar then headed towards her opponent. She rammed into the crazily spinning blade and everyone watched as the blade flew through the air.
"NO! Straighten out!" David shouted. As if on cue his blade straightened out and landed safely in the bowl just in time to have Mariah's blade ram into it a second time. The blade flew out of the ring and clattered against the ground. David went wide-eyed, "No… I… I can't be beaten… You… You cheated!"
Mariah growled at the boy, "I don't cheat!" She shouted as she caught her blade in mid air.
"Ya right! You had to have cheated! I'd never lose to a girl!" the boy yelled.
Ray glared at the boy then walked up to him, "Some of the best bladders in the world are girls… Mariah is one of them."
The boy didn't seem to impressed as he crossed his arms, "Uh huh…"
Kai walked up behind David all of a sudden, "Didn't anyone ever teach you any manners kid? An attitude like that is likely to get you into trouble."
"Oh… and let me guess… you're that trouble right?" the boy laughed.
Kai narrowed his eyes as he grabbed the boy by the wrist and roughly pulled him just inches from his face, "Apologize to the lady… now," he said in a low growl.
The boy tried to pull away but Kai wasn't about to let up. Eventually the boy stopped struggling and Kai let him go. He looked over to Mariah with his gaze to the ground, "I… I'm sorry… ok? Happy now?"
"Yes," Mariah said with a smile.
The boy then turned and ran away. Mariah turned to Kai, "Thanks, Kai. I didn't know you cared."
"I don't," Kai replied turning and walking away.
"You love me! Admit it Kai!" Mariah shouted and then laughed.
"You wish," Nadia said leaning on a tree with her arms crossed.
"Don't you mean you wish," comes the, oh so well known, computer voice of Dizzi.
