Enjoy the story!!
"Rise and shine, Usa-chan!" Yelled Minako as she tried to wake Usagi up.
"Leave me alone Minako! Its to early to be up!" groaned Usagi as she threw a pillow at Minako and then snuggled back into bed.
"Come on Usa-chan! The guys are already waiting for us downstairs. They are starting to complain that you sleep to long. It is already 9 o'clock. If you don't hurry, you are going to miss breakfast." Before Ami could finish, she was interrupted by Usagi.
"WHAT!! IT ALREADY IS 9 O'CLOCK?! YOU GUYS COULD HAVE WOKEN ME UP EARLIER! OH MAN!!!" yelled Usagi as she looked at the clock, gathered her belongings that were already put out for her, and the raced to the bathroom without looking at her friends who were trying so hard not to laugh.
*SLAM*
Once Usagi shut the bathroom door, Minako and Ami could not hold it in any longer, and fell to the floor laughing.
"I wonder . how long . it would take for Usagi. to realize. that. we set the clocks back by. 2 HOURS!!!" cried Minako as she barely got the words out of her mouth since she was laughing so hard. They continued to laugh, oblivious to the fact that Usagi has just walked out of the bathroom.
"What is so funny guys? Did I miss something? And I thought that you guys said that we were already late for breakfast?" At the sight of Usagi's bewildered face, Minako and Ami fell again to the floor, laughing with tears coming out of their eyes this time, clutching their sides as they began to roll around on the floor.
"We. changed the. clocks. by two hours!" Screamed Minako as she and Ami started to laugh even harder as they saw Usagi's face turn to a shade of red, then to purple.
"YOU GUYS DID WHAT?!!!" shrieked Usagi as she began to chase a now hysterical Minako and Ami around the room.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~Guy's Room ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"Come on Tyson! It is time to wake up!" screamed Kenny as he tried to wake up the stubborn sleeper.
"You would think that after all this time, Tyson would be used to waking up early." trailed Ray as he continued to watch as both Kenny and Max tried to move Tyson into wakefulness.
"Yeah, well, you have to admit, he did just see his cousin for the first time in seven years. Besides, I would also be sleeping right now since Tyson was awake for almost half the night when Usagi would finally arrive." Max pointed out as realization came into the minds of his other teammates.
"Still. If we don't wake up Tyson right now, we will be late. Not to mention embarrassing if the girls we there first because you know girls and their rules for being 'fashionably late'." Complained Kenny as he tried to pull Tyson up from his sleeping position, to a standing one, but was denied since Tyson was taller and heavier then he was, thus making Tyson fall on top of Kenny as the two boys fell to the floor in what was sure to be a rude awakening to Tyson. But alas, Tyson was still sleeping, as if nothing had happened. "A little help here people!" squeaked Kenny as he tried to struggle to get into a more comfortable position. (AN - Not like that. Hentai's. also let me warn you guys that there will be no yaoi on this fic because I don't feel comfortable writing about relationships like that. gomen.. but please still read my story!)
Kai, as usual, was hiding in the shadows as he watched his teammates struggle to wake up the sleeping Tyson. Letting go of a sigh of annoyance, Kai left the sanctuary of the shadows, giving the guys a 'let me handle this' look. He stood over Tyson, bracing himself for soon Tyson would be running all around the room in a morning rush. "Tyson, you better wake up now or there will be no more food left for you at breakfast."
At the mention of breakfast, Tyson immediately opened his eyes and ran into the bathroom ignoring the surprised looks that marred the faces of Max, Kenny, and Ray. The thought on their minds as they turned around to look at Kai, silently wondering how he was able to do the impossible of waking Tyson up.
"His weakness is food. So I simply used it to my advantage and used it as my weapon against him." Kai answered simply before his comrades could voice out their question.
"Oh!"
It was a couple of minutes until the uncomfortable silence passed when Grandpa walked into the room to see what the hold up was.
"What's up guys? Did you guys wake Tyson up yet? It is already 7 and if you guys don't hurry up, you will miss breakfast and your tour." Said grandpa as he looked around the room for his absent grandson. It was last minute, but grandpa decided not to go on the tour saying that he would rather stick around the hotel and maybe go to the casino.
"Tyson is in the bathroom. Kai just finished waking Tyson up just now so we should be able to go down for breakfast once Tyson is finished." Explained Max as he and Kenny started to straighten out their bedroom since Tyson had thrown most of their belongings on the floor in his morning frenzy.
"Since we are on the subject of going down for breakfast, did anyone tell the girls what time to meet us?" asked Ray as he and the rest of the guys started to look around the room for an answer.
"As a matter of fact, I had just finished talking to Ami and she informed me that she and the Minako were just about to wake Usa-chan up. I have a pretty good idea that the girls are having as much trouble to wake Usagi up as you guys are having with Tyson." Laughed Grandpa as they heard a soft knock on the door. "Well that should be them now."
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~Outside the Guy's door~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"What a cruel thing for you guys to do to me so early in the morning. All you guys had to do was to nudge me a little and a low wake up call would have just woken me up just fine." Grumbled Usagi as she was walking faster than her friends so that she was in front of them.
"Well Usa-chan, we did do that, several times, but you just wouldn't budge. So we did the only thing that we could think of." Apologized Minako as she and Ami both used their puppy dog look to its full extent, and it was working.
"No. aww, please don't use the eye thing. oh alright! I forgive you guys. Maybe I shouldn't have taught you guys that." Complained Usagi as looked to find her friends grinning at her.
"Another one bites the dust!" giggled Ami, " but Usa-chan, you also have used that look more than once on us, so you shouldn't be complaining. Anyways, we are already here! I wonder if the boys had a rocky morning as we had."
After a couple of silent moments, Minako decided to knock on the door. Surprisingly, after the first knock, the door was opened by Grandpa.
"Good morning Girls! Did you guys get a good night's rest?" asked Grandpa as he got three different greetings of good morning from each girl. "Well that's nice. Let's go and wait for Tyson before we all go to breakfast."
"Is Ty-chan not up yet? I thought that he would be used to waking up early from prior tournaments." Asked Usagi as confusion clearly made its way to her face.
"I'M READY!" yelled Tyson as he slid into the room that everyone was in. "oh! You girls are here already? Saves us time to go look for you. Come on, lets go so that we can eat and get enough time!" when he was through, Tyson was already at the door. "Well come on guys. HURRY UP!"
The rest of the group then followed Tyson as he ran into the elevator door with large sweat drops on their heads.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~After Breakfast ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"Wow! That was some good stuff. That really hit the spot!" Tyson said as he relaxed into his chair as the waiters began to take Tyson's dirty dishes to the kitchen.
"I have to agree with you Tyson-san. The food here was great. " agreed Minako.
"It was a good idea to come here for breakfast. A buffet is an ideal location to eat with Tyson in our group. We only get to pay once but get to eat as much as we want. And with Tyson's appetite, we would be saving a fortune in daily meals in we instead went to regular restaurants." Kenny exclaimed as he began to do the equations in his head.
"We would also be saving money since Usa-chan also eats like Tyson, see." Ami said was she pointed over to Usagi who was sitting at another table with Ray and Kai. To Ami's surprise as well as Minako's, Usagi was eating like a normal person and seemed that she was still on her first plate.
"Oh. My. God!" Gasped Minako and Ami as their mouths began to hang open as they stared at their klutzy friend turned princess.
"What? What's the matter girls? You look as you have just seen a ghost." Kenny said worriedly as the girls began to get some of their color back to their faces.
"You guys see Usa-chan right? What is she doing right now because I think that my vision has played a trick on me." Ami said as she began to blink repeatedly while rubbing her temples.
"Well, from what I can see, Usagi-chan is eating her breakfast and talking to Ray and Kai. Is there something wrong?" asked Max as he looked back and forth between Usagi and the rest of the girls.
"Well no, actually it is a surprise, that's all. You see, when we were back in Japan, Usagi would eat probably as much as Tyson only 2 times faster. Also, Usagi and formal conversations do not mix. When she would ever participate into a conversation, it always seemed to be way off track form the original topic." Explained Ami.
"Also that since we came here to America, Usa-chan seems to act differently around in public, more mature if you know what I mean." Added Minako.
"Now that you girls mention it, she does seem a little out of character. She used to be more energetic and child-like. Now, she seems more mature. I didn't think that she would ever change once we met again. Also the last thing I told her the last time we saw each other, was to never change because she felt like the little sister I never had." Finished Tyson as he looked over to Usagi's table. Ami and Minako felt ashamed now because back then, they would force Usagi to change into a person who was the supposed to be the Moon Princess, not a high school girl. They were going to say something, but then they saw Usa, Ray, and Kai walking over to their table.
"Hey guys! What's up with all of you? You seem pretty quite right now?" Asked Usa. (AN - I am going to call her Usa from now on.)
"Nothing Usa-chan. You are just imaging things. We are just fine!" smiled Tyson.
"Well, if you are sure. anyway, since we are all done with our breakfast, what do you guys want to do now? I mean since grandpa did decide to just stay here and go to the casino instead of hanging around here." Asked Usa as she tried to figure out the day's agenda. "I don't think that all of us want to go on the same tour since I know for a fact that Ami would rather go to museums and other sites that were educational. And that Minako would want to check out the hottest spot to find movie stars and theaters. Am I right minna-chan?" giggled Usa as she saw red spots appear on her friend's faces.
"Now that you mention the change of plans, I have to visit my mom today. I promised her and I kinda forgot until now. hehe. besides I think that it would be best if I went with my mom so that I could learn a couple of new things that could be of some use to us in the future." Said Max as he began to move out of his chair.
"I agree. Maybe I should go with Max today. I need some help to improve my blade and besides, I want a rematch with some of the All Stars so that I know where I need to improve in. If you don't mind chief, I think I am going to bring Dizzy along so that I could download some data that we would need for the upcoming World Tournament in Russia. Is that ok?" asked Ray as he to began to get up out of his chair.
"I forgot all about that! Oh man, thanks for reminding me Ray! I guess it is alright to borrow Dizzy, besides, you were just going to do some of the stuff that I planned to do before we left New York for Russia." Agreed Kenny as he nodded to Ray.
"Ok then. Ray and I are off guys! See you all later. We should be back by 7 so don't plan anything for dinner because I think that Mr. Dickenson wants to talk to us later tonight." Reminded Max as he and Ray went through the lobby to the limo that was waiting for them.
"Ok, so we are down two guys. Why don't we just go for tours in pairs since we have only 3 girls and 3 guys?" asked Tyson as he began to look at the remaining party.
"Why not? It will be fun." Approved Minako as she and the other girls reached an agreement.
"Ok now that's settled, who are going to be the pairs?" asked Kenny as he began to Pull out some maps of New York that he already had with him.
"Well I think that the pairings should be Minako and I, Kenny and Ami, and Usa and Kai. Is that ok with you guys?" asked Tyson as he braced himself for the sure arguments that were going to come.
"I am fine with that." Agreed Kenny as he looked at Ami. "Are you ready for that tour Ami?" he asked with a smile.
"Um. Yes." Squeaked Ami as she turned a bright red color.
"Well Minako? You good?" asked Tyson as he looked at Minako who was already putting on her purse.
"Yeah I am good. Can't wait to see what New York is really like. I have wanted to explore New York ever since I was a kid. You ready?"
"I am ready. Lets go!" replied Tyson as he and Minako made their way to the exit. "We will see you guys back here at 7 ok? Well bye!" Then they were gone.
"Well you ready to go Ami? I think that the museum opens in one hour and it will take us about 45 minutes to get there." Asked Kenny as he offered a hand to help Ami out of her chair.
"I am ready Kenny." Whispered Ami as she tried to hide her blush by trying to get to her purse then put her hand in Kenny's and got out of her chair. "So we will be here at 7 tonight, ok Usagi-chan?"
"Yeah. I will see you both later! Have fun!" said Usa as she saw the two of them leave. But before they could get out of the hotel, she decided that she should humiliate her friend a little more. "Make sure you take care of her Kenny! I don't want to see anything wrong with her when she comes back!!"
Luckily Kenny was already outside the door but Ami still heard her and then became a color that made the color of the tomatoes look white. (AN - I don't even think that is possible but just work with me here.)
"What was that for?" Asked Kai annoyed because Usa was attracting most of the attention throughout the hotel and that was something that he could do without.
"Nothing. I just wanted to see what their reaction would be. Too bad that Kenny didn't hear me, but seeing Ami's reaction was enough for me. He he, well where are you taking me today?" asked Usa as she looked at Kai, but was shocked when she saw him walking away. "Hey! Where are you going? You said that you would take me out today for a tour of New York!" she yelled as she tried to catch up with Kai as he passed by the exit of the restaurant.
"I never agreed to this. You were the ones who said it, not me. Besides, I have better things to do than to take you out around New York. Why don't you just get one of those maps and then you can be on your way." Said Kai as he kept walking, not looking back at Usa who stopped walking, stunned that he would just walk away like that.
"Please! You just have to Kai! I have always wanted to see New York and that you are the only one left who I can go with. If you take me out today, I will have a beyblade match with you." Cried Usa as she saw him stop and turned to look at her.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Kai's Point of View ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
'Well, Tyson did say that she was really good at playing beyblade and that she was a child star back then. And Lord knows that I need to play against someone who I do not know a thing about so I could see some of her moves that I could incorporate into my plays.' I turned to her and I saw that she was looking at me with hope in her eyes. 'She looks so cute like that. Wait a minute, did I just think that! I have been hanging around Tyson too much.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Usa's point of View ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
'I hope he says yes. I really wanted to see the sites that New York had to offer.' As I saw him turn around, he just looked straight into my eyes. 'Wow! He is really hot!. OMG! Did I just think that? I think that I might break my promise of never falling in love again. Yep I think I will have a hard time keeping that promise.' I thought as I saw his body being outlined perfectly by his clothes. (AN- now we will pause for a much needed drool break.. Wow he is sooooo hot! Excuse me, now on with the fic.)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Author's Point of View ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"Ok, fine then Usagi. I will take you around New York, if only you have a battle with me later on when we return." Said Kai as he stuck his hand out, expecting Usa to shake it to seal the deal.
"Alright. I take your offer!" Agreed Usa as she took his hand with a smile on her face. "Let's go then. I don't want to miss out on anything else while we argue out here." She then ran out to the lobby as she saw Kai starting to follow her.
Just as the two left the hotel, a pair of eyes was watching the whole scene between the groups. "Interesting, very interesting. This is getting more fascinating by the second. I will have to report this very unusual occurrence indeed." Exclaimed the dark figure as he too left the hotel but for different purposes.
***** Ahhhhh!!!! Who is that mystery guy? Well, I hope that that was good for now, and I already gave a chapter on the couples pairings. The next couple chapters will be the about the couples day! I know that it is to short, but I am working really hard to finish this fic. Please don't desert me guys because I already know what I am going to do in the upcoming chapters. And I am sure that you guys won't want to miss out on the upcoming ones!

"I agree. Maybe I should go with Max today. I need some help to improve my blade and besides, I want a rematch with some of the All Stars so that I know where I need to improve in. If you don't mind chief, I think I am going to bring Dizzy along so that I could download some data that we would need for the upcoming World Tournament in Russia. Is that ok?" asked Ray as he to began to get up out of his chair.
"I forgot all about that! Oh man, thanks for reminding me Ray! I guess it is alright to borrow Dizzy, besides, you were just going to do some of the stuff that I planned to do before we left New York for Russia." Agreed Kenny as he nodded to Ray.
"Ok then. Ray and I are off guys! See you all later. We should be back by 7 so don't plan anything for dinner because I think that Mr. Dickenson wants to talk to us later tonight." Reminded Max as he and Ray went through the lobby to the limo that was waiting for them.
"Ok, so we are down two guys. Why don't we just go for tours in pairs since we have only 3 girls and 3 guys?" asked Tyson as he began to look at the remaining party.
"Why not? It will be fun." Approved Minako as she and the other girls reached an agreement.
"Ok now that's settled, who are going to be the pairs?" asked Kenny as he began to Pull out some maps of New York that he already had with him.
"Well I think that the pairings should be Minako and I, Kenny and Ami, and Usa and Kai. Is that ok with you guys?" asked Tyson as he braced himself for the sure arguments that were going to come.
"I am fine with that." Agreed Kenny as he looked at Ami. "Are you ready for that tour Ami?" he asked with a smile.
"Um. Yes." Squeaked Ami as she turned a bright red color.
"Well Minako? You good?" asked Tyson as he looked at Minako who was already putting on her purse.
"Yeah I am good. Can't wait to see what New York is really like. I have wanted to explore New York ever since I was a kid. You ready?"
"I am ready. Lets go!" replied Tyson as he and Minako made their way to the exit. "We will see you guys back here at 7 ok? Well bye!" Then they were gone.
"Well you ready to go Ami? I think that the museum opens in one hour and it will take us about 45 minutes to get there." Asked Kenny as he offered a hand to help Ami out of her chair.
"I am ready Kenny." Whispered Ami as she tried to hide her blush by trying to get to her purse then put her hand in Kenny's and got out of her chair. "So we will be here at 7 tonight, ok Usagi-chan?"
"Yeah. I will see you both later! Have fun!" said Usa as she saw the two of them leave. But before they could get out of the hotel, she decided that she should humiliate her friend a little more. "Make sure you take care of her Kenny! I don't want to see anything wrong with her when she comes back!!"
Luckily Kenny was already outside the door but Ami still heard her and then became a color that made the color of the tomatoes look white. (AN - I don't even think that is possible but just work with me here.)
"What was that for?" Asked Kai annoyed because Usa was attracting most of the attention throughout the hotel and that was something that he could do without.
"Nothing. I just wanted to see what their reaction would be. Too bad that Kenny didn't hear me, but seeing Ami's reaction was enough for me. He he, well where are you taking me today?" asked Usa as she looked at Kai, but was shocked when she saw him walking away. "Hey! Where are you going? You said that you would take me out today for a tour of New York!" she yelled as she tried to catch up with Kai as he passed by the exit of the restaurant.
"I never agreed to this. You were the ones who said it, not me. Besides, I have better things to do than to take you out around New York. Why don't you just get one of those maps and then you can be on your way." Said Kai as he kept walking, not looking back at Usa who stopped walking, stunned that he would just walk away like that.
"Please! You just have to Kai! I have always wanted to see New York and that you are the only one left who I can go with. If you take me out today, I will have a beyblade match with you." Cried Usa as she saw him stop and turned to look at her.

'Well, Tyson did say that she was really good at playing beyblade and that she was a child star back then. And Lord knows that I need to play against someone who I do not know a thing about so I could see some of her moves that I could incorporate into my plays.' I turned to her and I saw that she was looking at me with hope in her eyes. 'She looks so cute like that. Wait a minute, did I just think that! I have been hanging around Tyson too much.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Usa's point of View ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
'I hope he says yes. I really wanted to see the sites that New York had to offer.' As I saw him turn around, he just looked straight into my eyes. 'Wow! He is really hot!. OMG! Did I just think that? I think that I might break my promise of never falling in love again. Yep I think I will have a hard time keeping that promise.' I thought as I saw his body being outlined perfectly by his clothes. (AN- now we will pause for a much needed drool break.. Wow he is sooooo hot! Excuse me, now on with the fic.)

"Ok, fine then Usagi. I will take you around New York, if only you have a battle with me later on when we return." Said Kai as he stuck his hand out, expecting Usa to shake it to seal the deal.
"Alright. I take your offer!" Agreed Usa as she took his hand with a smile on her face. "Let's go then. I don't want to miss out on anything else while we argue out here." She then ran out to the lobby as she saw Kai starting to follow her.
Just as the two left the hotel, a pair of eyes was watching the whole scene between the groups. "Interesting, very interesting. This is getting more fascinating by the second. I will have to report this very unusual occurrence indeed." Exclaimed the dark figure as he too left the hotel but for different purposes.
***** Ahhhhh!!!! Who is that mystery guy? Well, I hope that that was good for now, and I already gave a chapter on the couples pairings. The next couple chapters will be the about the couples day! I know that it is to short, but I am working really hard to finish this fic. Please don't desert me guys because I already know what I am going to do in the upcoming chapters. And I am sure that you guys won't want to miss out on the upcoming ones!
