Chapter 2:
The BladeBreakers got to know Alida more, and vice versa. Kenny introduced Dizzi, and Alida was amazed to hear that a bitbeast was talking to her.
Dizzi gave a few warnings to Alida about the boys, which made her laugh. The comments were mostly about Tyson. As Dizzi went on, and the list grew, the guys couldn't help it and started warning Alida about Dizzi. To which both parties had a playful argument about.
Kai, of course, was not part of this and sat away from them. Alida carefully noted that he liked his space.
As time went on, she felt more and more relaxed and comfortable with the famous bladers, and before they knew it, it was time for dinner.
They took the elevator to the first floor, where the hotel's restaurant was. Mr. Dickenson had reserved them a table, and was waiting for them as they arrived.
Mr. Dickenson and Alida exchanged small talk and the rest of the meal was eaten in silence. At the end, while talking over desserts, Alida expressed her gratitude towards Mr. Dickenson and the BladeBreakers.
Afterwards, they walked outside into the hotel's garden, where they proceeded in having friendly beyblade matches.
"Do you have a beyblade?" asked Max. Alida shook her head. "Do you know how to use one?" Again the same response.
"What? How could you not?" yelled Tyson.
Alida was shocked. "Um…I'm sorry," she replied in a weak voice, looking down.
"It's alright. He's just playing around," said Rei, giving her a pat on the back. "Here, we'll teach you how to blade."
"It's ok," she answered immediately. "Being famous bladers, you must need to practice whenever you have the chance. Don't waste time teaching me."
Kenny laughed and said, "We have the time, besides, the next tournament isn't until much later."
So the boys each took turns lending her their blade and teaching her a few things. Kenny explained the parts of a beyblade; Max showed her defense techniques; Tyson showed her attacks; and Rei showed her battle strategies.
Meanwhile, Kai was off practicing on his own. Alida watched him silently and asked if this was how Kai normally behaved. The boys responded by nodding their heads.
Despite Kai, Alida had fun, and so did the others. When it got dark, they all headed upstairs to their room.
Tyson and Max started a pillow fight. Rei joined in, while Kenny said he had a few things to work on on his laptop.
"Come on," Tyson said to Alida, handing her a pillow.
Alida hesitantly took the pillow and glanced at Kai. It seemed as if he was getting extremely annoyed at the three bladers' activities. "Um, may I?" she asked him.
Kai was a little surprised at the question, but he quickly recovered with a bored, "Whatever."
Alida blinked confusedly and Max whispered, "That means yes."
After one more glance at Kai to verify what Max had said was true, Alida smiled happily and the four of them played this game for a while. Then they decided that it was time for bed.
They took turns using the two bathrooms and got ready to sleep. In a while, things settled down and everyone was in bed. The door connecting the two bedrooms together was closed, but unlocked.
In a while, Tyson's snores were still heard through the door, defeating its purpose. Kai groaned and Rei laughed and told Alida about the noise.
"I feel sorry for Max and Kenny," smiled Alida.
"Don't worry, they're used to it," replied Rei.
Alida struggled to sleep with Tyson's snoring, and eventually reached her goal and soon, everyone was sleeping.
Alida woke up with a start in the middle of the night. She blinked rapidly through the dark and tried to get her bearings.
She got up and shook her head in amazement at how loud Tyson could snore. Then she quietly opened the door and checked in on the sleeping occupants.
There was just enough light from the crescent moon outside so that she could walk without stumbling.
She took a glance at her new friends and had to stifle a giggle.
Tyson was on the floor among a cocoon of blankets. She tried to wake him up, and failed miserably. Alida knelt beside him and decided to just put a pillow under his head and rearrange the blankets around him.
Kenny was sleeping normally, and Max was sleeping with the covers off of him. She carefully covered Max with the blankets and headed back to the original room.
Meanwhile, Kai was watching her from the shadows near doorway, and when she was coming back, he quickly slipped under the covers.
Kai watched as Alida checked on Rei. Rei was mumbling in his sleep and Alida was giggling. She said a few words to him and waited for a response. Obviously it was very amusing to her.
Then Alida turned towards Kai's bed. Kai appeared to be sleeping properly, so she yawned, stretched, and then went back to sleep in her own bed.
Kai lay awake for a few more minutes, thinking about the current situation. When he fell asleep, he had nightmares about Black Dranzer.
