"That was about the weirdest thing I've ever seen," I said over
dinner the night Romney left.
"Yeah," Kai agreed. "But we really need to get training."
"Oh, Kai, is that all you ever think about?" Hilary sighed.
"Yeah, for once I agree with the witch! Can't we have a day to recover from losses?" Tyson chimed in, while chewing a chicken leg.
"Wow, Tyson. Recover is a pretty big word. Ya sure you know what it means?" I laughed.
Max laughed with me. "Yeah, Tyson! Don't wanna accidentally say something stupid. Rei actually knows what the big words mean."
"Shut up!" Tyson groaned.
"I think we should start training as soon as possible, guys. The tournament starts tomorrow, after all!" Kenny was sitting at the table, munching a roll and typing on Dizzi at the same time.
"You heard the Chief. Meet me outside in 15 minutes. If you're not done eating, that's your own problem." With that, Kai got up from the table (secretly grabbing a piece of pie and hiding it behind his back) and left the room.

A week later, we were ready to go home again. I'm not going to detail out the battles and stuff, because (as usual!) we won everything! We rock. But that's beside the point. I was telling you about us going home! So, we were going to go home. In fact, we DID go home. And guess who was waiting at the airport for us, with hugs and chocolate?
If you guessed Grandma, you were wrong. It was Rockie and her friends, and Grandpa too!
"Yay, I missed you guys!" Rockie laughed, hugging each of us in turn.
"We missed you, too!" Max said with a very similar laugh.
Grandpa started handing out large chocolate bars. It had become a bit of a tradition, and he always remembered that I like plain dark chocolate, Kai likes dark with almonds, and Max likes milk chocolate crunch. Tyson, however, would rather have a bunch of little assorted kinds. Actually, he'd rather have a bunch of BIG assorted kinds, but Grandpa doesn't let him do that, and neither do Kai and Hilary.
So, we all went back to the dojo. That's when I noticed that Carlie was with them. "Hey, Carlie, I thought you went AWOL!" I said.
"Well, I did for a while, but I came back. I missed everyone."
"Yeah, it was wonderful. I got here, and she came back. She has such wonderful timing," Rockie said sarcastically.
"I already said sorry about that! I didn't know they'd make you come home for it!" Carlie defended.
"I know," Rockie said, flinging an arm around her friend's waist. "Just glad you're okay, that's all that matters."
"I was never NOT okay..."
"So, how did my dogs do in the tournament?" Grandpa interrupted quickly.
"They won, of course," Kenny said. He turned to ask the guys to describe what happened, when he saw Tyson and Max sitting at the table, stuffing food into their mouths at lightning speed.
Tyson noticed his friend's gaze, and defended himself. "Hey, airplane food isn't anywhere NEAR enough for a growing boy!"
"Nothing's enough for a growing boy according to you, Tyson," I laughed.
This was about when Kai left the room for the back porch. Typical. What I didn't notice was that Rockie followed him. I didn't know about that until much later, when she told me. (Of course, how else would I find out, Kai? Ha, yeah right.)

A/N: kinda short but then next chapter---oops, I wasn't gonna say that so pretend I never started. Thanks to my reviewers, Shaedowe and Clueless Ally, Oh and Mel just Mel() and lilix(). Sorry, didn't mean to forget you, your reviews got lost in the bottom of my inbox apparently. So, anyway, until next time, bu-bye!
