The, I don't know what to call it, poem below belongs to Black RoseL Me. I read it in Paiku's fic Fragmented Reunion (and if you haven't read it, DO!) and I thought it was soooo wonderful and probably the most beautiful thing ever. So, I wanted to have it in my fic… And here it is. I didn't use the whole text, cause I wanted it to fit a "love story". The original is about friendship also.
Wow! I'm so happy for the all of the reviews I've got! I can hardly describe it… ^^ I wish you all lived a little closer so I could send u all candy or something… :D
Kelly (Bread 'N' Butter): Wow, u could really think on different countries! Sorry to say that I didn't choose one of yours… But I hope that u had a good time meeting Busted!
Silverninja: Sorry for the ending… But my fingers were burning and I thought it was a good place (for me) to end the chapter. I hope your DATE *wink wink* turned out fine. I'm counting on to hear about it. Hehe. And I DO wanna start the sequel a.s.a.p.
SilverWingPhoenix: Yeah, I guess. But they were slow to admit it…
Surfergurl16: You're NOT "some miserable presence" in my life! From now on, you'll be my Californian Sunray okay? I thought it was kinda cute to, but I feel a little uncomfortable writing "love fluff"…
Nise-anjel: Glad to hear that u liked it! More chapters to come! :D And I realized that I've spelled your name wrong before… Sorry…
Mystique Rain: Sorry for the grammar and spelling… I tried to read it over and over again but I must've missed them… I can always blame my native language but I appreciate that u tells me about them! Maybe I should force u to be my correction-reader or something… Hehe… (No, just kidding, I'm not like that… or maybe…) Anyway, I'm so in love with your story. Peeez update soon!
She Devil 2004: Wow, thankies! :D I read your fic but I found it hard to give u any advice… It was a good plot and interesting OC's. Just keep going okay?
bs3ssi0n: I feel kinda proud of making you like beyblade! Can't help it! I agree about that they make fantastic cartoons…
Anantsu: I'm updating as fast as I can, and here you are, another chapter!
Kay: Sorry to hear that you're computer was broken… I would go crazy if that happened to me… I don't think I can live without mine, sad but true… Hehe, anyway, maybe you should take it more easy with the sugar? :)
Disclaimer: I DO NOT own beyblade or any of it's characters. I also DO NOT own the "poem" by Black RoseL Me. But I DO own Laynie and her bitbeast. And I believe that the plot is mine too.
Chapter Twelve: Choices That We Make
- "Brrrrrrr. Brrrrrr." A buzzing sound could be heard in the training room. Kai reluctant let go of Laynie and searched his pockets for the cell phone.
(A/N: I made a HUGE mistake in an earlier chapter when I wrote self phone instead of CELL phone… Don't laugh at me… Or wait do…)
Laynie watched Kai answer the call. She felt cold and lonely now when Kai didn't was so close. But she had taken the step.
Have you ever wondered which hurts the most?
Saying something and wishing you hadn't?, or
Saying nothing and wishing you had?
I guess the most important things are the hardest things to say. Don't be
afraid to tell someone you love them.
If you do, they might break your heart...if you don't, you might break theirs.
Have u ever decided not 2 become a couple because you were so afraid of losing
what you already had with that person?
Your heart decides whom it likes and whom it doesn't.
You can't tell your heart what to do. It does it on its own........when you
least suspect it, or even when you don't want it to.
Have you ever wanted to love someone with everything you had, but that other
person was too afraid to let you?
Too many of us stay walled up because we are too afraid to care too much...for
fear that the other person does not care as much, or even at all.
Have you ever denied your feelings for someone because your fear of rejection
was too hard to handle?
We tell lies when we are afraid... afraid of what we
don't know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out
about us.
But every time we tell a lie, the thing we fear grows stronger.
Life is all about risks and it requires you to jump.
Don't be a person who has to look back and wonder what they would have done, or
could have had.
Laynie had done it. And it had turned out, as she wanted. The jump had been risky and hard, but she didn't regret anything.
- "Who was it?" said Laynie when Kai put the cell phone back into the pocket.
Kai frowned. "Mr. Dickenson. He's bringing your "sister" over here instead." He said.
- "He's doing what? I can't believe this, it must be some kind of sick prank or something." Laynie shook her head.
- "I don't know… It's not like Mr. Dickenson to joke." Kai opened the door and Laynie walked out.
- "Maybe not HIM!" replied Laynie and gave Kai a meaning gaze.
- "The only way to find out is to meet them I guess." Kai shrugged.
~*~ In the lobby… ~*~
Laynie and Kai stepped out of the elevator. The lobby was surprisingly clouded with peoples so it was impossible to figure out which one who was supposed to be Laynie's sister…
- "Relax." Whispered Kai and Laynie found herself clenching her hands into fist.
- "What if she really is my sister?" replied Laynie and searched the room for someone who could have some Chinese/European blood in her.
Kai didn't answer and Laynie continued to watch every person in the room when a hand landed on her shoulder. She turned around and gazed into sea blue eyes.
The sea blue eyes belonged to a woman at the age of twenty. She smiled gently towards Laynie and held out her hand.
- "I knew that you were Laynie when I saw your eyes. I'm Josephine." She said and Laynie took the hand.
She shook it fast. "Nice to meet you… I don't wanna be rude, but wasn't Mr. Dickenson supposed to be with you?"
- "Yes, he was. But he needed to be present at some appointment… I think it involved you… " Josephine shrugged and lit up again.
- "Anyway, who's the guy next to you?" She said and gave Kai and curious gaze.
Laynie couldn't help but blush a little. She didn't know where they stood yet. All she knew this far was that they so more than friends. She hated the "boyfriend and girl friend" thing so with a quick glance at Kai she said:
- "This is Kai, my best friend in the team." And that was true.
But Josephine's eyes started to sparkle in a mysterious way and she smiled. "Oh, I see. Hello Kai, nice to meet you."
Kai took her hand and shook it. [I can't believe how she can be related to Laynie. They're so different. In both appearance and attitude.] He thought and let go of her hand.
- "Hi, guys! Sorry for taking so long but Tyson decided that he needed something to eat." The rest of the Bladebreakers entered the lobby and suddenly, the all the peace and quite was gone.
- "Not my fault that I was hungry!" replied Tyson and patted his belly.
Laynie sighed and turned to Josephine again. "This" She said. "is my team, the Bladebreakers. Believe it or not!"
Josephine laughed and this was the first Kai noticed that the two sisters shared. Her laugh was soft, like Laynie's, and also filled with life. It sounded joyful and almost made Kai smile too. (A/N: And that must be one hell of a smile then!)
~*~ In the restaurant… ~*~
- "Waiter, can I've some more of this stuff?" Shouted Tyson and Laynie tried to hide.
- "Tyson! Keep your voice down!" She snarled in a low voice and gazed around the room to see if someone was looking.
Tyson gave her a happy smile. "You wanna try it? It's really yummy!"
Laynie made a face of disgust. "Tyson, that's octopus!" She said and Tyson put the plate down with an almost scared expression.
- "You mean that I've eaten these little thing with tentacles? YUK, disgusting! Really!" He shouted and Laynie gave up. She met Josephine's amused gaze and shrugged.
- "Don't mind. He's okay. Sometimes." Laynie received a glare from Tyson who examined the octopus with suspicion.
- "I think he's cool. Why don't we take a little walk before the dessert? Ray and Kai can come too if they want." Josephine gave Ray and Kai a smile before turning to Laynie again.
- "Sure, why not? Are you coming?"
Ray, Laynie and Kai followed Josephine to the little park that was connected to the restaurant. The air was still warm from earlier and not a wind blew.
They stopped at a little pond and sat down. The water lay still and some water-lilies floated around in it.
- "I guess that I've to make a little explanation who I am and what I do here…" said Josephine and played around in the water with her hand.
Laynie simply nodded. [And you bet I'm curios…] She added to herself.
- "I'm only your half sister from Jake's side… He left my mother when he found out that she was pregnant with me. But I wanted to know more about my family so I recently started to search for my relatives…"
- "And you found Laynie." Finished Ray quietly. He smiled at Laynie who smirked back and sighed.
- "Yes I did. But that's not all. I didn't find you first, I found your grandma, so I travelled to China to see her. And now the sad news is coming…" Josephine's blue eyes darkened with sadness. "I could only spent two days with her cause she…"
Laynie was seriously worried. She didn't like the tone in Josephine's voice and what she told.
- "She what?" asked Laynie but wasn't sure if she wanted the answer…
Now, Josephine had tears in her eyes and Laynie suspected the worst.
- "Oh, Laynie! Your grandma had an heart attack and she didn't make it…"
Then Laynie's world stopped spinning. Everything felt so…far away and the only thing she could think of was a dream she had dreamed a night ago.
Laynie smiled when she saw her beloved grandma sitting at the table with the tarot cards in front of her.
- "Come, Laynie! I wanna see in the cards for your future!" She said and Laynie did as she said. She sat down on the other side of the table, waiting for her grandma to turn the first card.
(A/N: I don't know ANYTHING about tarot cards so just pretend that this is "real"…)
- "The rainbow… Looks like even more fame and success awaits you… And you've finally understood what love is. Drizzler is more loyal than ever can I see. He'll take care of you. And there's more to come. I think you'll find happiness very soon Laynie and you mustn't blame yourself for what's gonna happen. It's time.
- "Time for what?" said Laynie and realized that she was floating away from her grandma. "Time for what?" She shouted.
She could see her grandma smile and see how her lips formed "I love you."
- "No." Whispered Laynie and shook her head slowly. This wasn't happening. It was a dream. It must be!
She got up from the grass and wandered off, without noticing how Ray shouted for her to come back. It was like nothing any longer existed and the only thing she could feel was pain. And for once, she wanted to cry. Let the cold tears sooth the pain and calm her. But they didn't come…
[Why is this happening? I was so happy for once and suddenly, I'm back on the bottom again…] She thought and her feet stopped walking. She stood on a high hill and felt the wind spread her hair in the air. It would be so easy to just take the step and end the pain… Just one little step…
- "I wouldn't do that if I were you." A voice said behind her back. It scared her and it was close to that she had taken the step even if she didn't want to. But the voice saved her from a certain death by pulling her back into safety.
It was Kai. His auburn eyes were worried and sad, but they also show love. Laynie felt how the tears that wouldn't come just minutes ago pushed behind her eyelids and wanted to come out.
- "Why?" She said and Kai laid his arms around her, holding her close. And all of the tears she had kept inside for so many years built a tide wave and needed to come out. Now.
~*~ Back at Josephine and Ray… ~*~
- "How do you think she are?" said Josephine and frowned with worry. Ray shook his head so the thin ponytail danced around his back.
- "I don't know... Laynie is a pro at hiding things... You never know..." He said. "How old was her grandma? Laynie never told us anything about her life more than that she didn't live with her family."
Josephine smiled sadly. "After what I've heard, Laynie is someone who keeps most things inside... Her grandma loved her very much..."
Ray nodded. He knew that Laynie had some troubles with seeing where love was and that she was kinda lonely. Maybe she wanted to be alone, but somehow Ray knew that she didn't. She wanted friends and love, but it seemed like she didn't know where to find it. She was very protective about her feelings and never spoke abut how she felt or thought.
[But if I'm right, Kai and she has something going on...] He thought and smiled quickly. On one side, Kai and Laynie were so similar but on the other side, they were complete strangers to each other.
- "I think she'll be okay." Ray smiled at Josephine. "If you don't mind, do you feel for telling me more about you? I don't wanna be sneaky or something... I'm just in a 'story' mood now when we can't do nothing more than wait..."
Josephine laughed and gave Ray an amused smile. "Story mood? Nah, I just think you're curios and…"
- "…curiosity killed the cat! I know, I know!" laughed Ray and put up his hands in a defeated gesture.
- "Well, my full name is Josephine Anne Potter and I'm turning 19 in July, two months to go. I live with my boyfriend David in --------.
(A/N: She lives at the same town as Tyson, dun know where… Tell me if ya know!)
Ray nodded and listened attention ally.
- "I hope to make Laynie come and live with us, now when she don't have her grandma… But I don't know if she's gonna…"
- "I think she will. Give her some time…" Ray leaned back onto a tree. He glanced down onto his watch and realized that they had been away for twenty minutes now.
- "How long have we been here?" asked Josephine when she saw where Ray's gaze was.
- "Almost twenty minutes now… Maybe we should get back to the others. Kai will take Laynie back when she's ready."
Josephine nodded. "Kai seems to be a nice guy, even if he hides behind his cold attitude. Is there something going on between them?"
Ray smiled broadly. "I don't know, but I have reasons to believe that yes!"
~*~ Kai and Laynie… ~*~
Laynie's sobbing started to fade away and Kai hugged her tightly. Laynie wiped her tears away and smiled weakly.
- "You do know that I've to kill you now?" She whispered and leaned her cheek onto Kai's shoulder.
(A/N: I know she's short! Let's say that it's barely!)
- "What are you talking about?" Kai said and frowned. [Like she even would be able!]
Laynie took a step away from Kai and smirked. "You saw me cry. I promised myself that no one should ever see me cry." She said and Kai cocked one eyebrow.
- "Then kill me." He established and Laynie gave him a playful punch onto his arm. "Feeling better?"
Laynie nodded slowly. "I guess. But it feels so far away. Like it never has happened…"
- "It'll fade away." Replied Kai and took Laynie's hand. They started to walk back to the restaurant and people that they met probably thought of them as a really sweet couple, walking hand in hand looking… in love…
[Will it?] Laynie thought. Now when most of the pain was gone, she felt tired and fragile. And she hated it. She hated all the emotions that made her feel weak and vulnerable. Her grandma was gone and the problems just seemed to grow… Where was she gonna live? With who? [I'm not even eighteen!]
Without noticing, she squeezed Kai's hand roughly and he stopped.
- "What?" muttered Laynie and stopped, still squeezing Kai's hand like she wanted to kill it or something.
- "Do you wanna talk about something?" He said and Laynie let go off his hand, surprised.
- "Sorry… It's just that…" Laynie lowered her gaze to the ground.
- "Just what?" said Kai encouraging and Laynie sighed. Kai could for the first time catch a glimpse of panic in Laynie's eyes.
- "Where am I gonna live now? Who wants me?" She nearly shouted and tried to muffle a sob. The cry threaded to overwhelm her again and she felt tears rise in her eyes again.
She turned away, trying to hide her tears from Kai. [Not a chance I'm gonna cry in front of him twice! He must think I'm truly weak…]
Suddenly, she felt arms wrap around her waist and Kai's warm body against her back. She closed her eyes and leaned back onto Kai, sinking into his embrace and just…was…
- "I think it's gonna turn out just fine. Give it some time." Kai whispered softly to her.
Laynie nodded. He was right. She was gonna be just fine. She always found a way out didn't she?
- "I guess… you're right." Laynie said and Kai planted a kiss on Laynie's cheek. She appreciated how much he had changed since the first time they met. He was so nice… and caring now. How could he change so much?
Laynie smirked. Well, hadn't she changed then? Of course she had. Now, she wasn't so… serious anymore and she was more carefree in difference to the time before she met the Bladebreakers. Now, she had friends. And she had Kai. Maybe she even had Josephine. A feeling inside her told that it was easy NOT to love Josephine. She was just that kinda person who beamed with confident and trust.
Laynie smiled and turned around to face Kai. "Shall we get back to the others?" She said.
~*~ Next morning… ~*~
Laynie rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. The time was only 5.12 a.m. but she was not sleepy at all. She gazed around in the room. Everyone was still asleep, even Kai, and the room were quiet. She sighed and climbed out of bed. She grabbed her backpack and pulled out her sketch-block and got the right page up.
The whole team with their bitbeasts behind gazed back at her. Laynie smiled. This was probably one of her best works ever, and it was like all of the feelings she couldn't express in words to them just showed in the picture. She loved the way she had caught everyone's attitude and appearance. Tyson's stubbornness and over-confidence. Max's cheery smile and happy face. Ray's pride and curiosity. Kenny's intelligence and lecturing way. Kai's calm and focus.
What about herself then? She frowned and took a closer look on herself and Drizzler. A smile played in the corner of her lips and her pose was relaxed. Was this really her?
A soft knocking on the door interrupted Laynie's thoughts.
[Who's awake this early?] She thought and went to open the door.
It was Mr. Dickenson. And Josephine was with him. They both smiled at her.
- "Good morning, Laynie!" Mr. Dickenson chirped and Laynie just stared at him. He acted like it was afternoon or something, not early morning when normal people should be asleep in their own beds.
- "Can we come in?" Josephine nodded into the hotel room.
Laynie shook her head and opened the door. "Sorry, I was just a little surprised to see you guys here… This early I mean."
Mr. Dickenson chuckled and stepped into the room. "Rise and shine boys!" He said out loud enough to wake Ray and Kai up.
- "Mr. Dickenson?" yawned Ray and rubbed his eyes. His black hair was in a mess and he seemed to be very sleepy. Laynie smiled. Kai didn't seem to be tired at all and got up from bed in a second.
- "Why are you here this early?" He said and seemed to be pretty annoyed, being forced out of bed when he could be sleeping for once.
- "Well…" Mr. Dickenson began. "I'm afraid I can't tell before everyone is up… And that might take a while." He gave Tyson an amused gaze.
Josephine nodded. "Why don't you go and get dressed while we get the rest ready? Okay?"
~*~ Twenty minutes later… ~*~
- "Okay, that's enough!" declared Laynie and put her glass with water down onto the table with a clonk. "If we're gonna wait for Tyson, you have to stay here for dinner!"
- "Yeah, why don't you tell us and we can tell Tyson when he wakes up?" Agreed Max and smiled. "And that may take a while…"
Mr. Dickenson sighed. "I guess I just wanted everyone to hear the good news from me." He said.
Ray got a curious glint in his eyes. "Good news?" He said and looked at Mr. Dickenson.
- "Yes, I received a letter from my secretary today and the BBA has decided to hold a banquet in your honor. It'll be tomorrow at eight."
- "Isn't it fantastic? And it's formal too!" Josephine got a dreaming gaze and Laynie suspected that she already was lost in daydreams about pretty dresses and makeup…
- "I thought it was good news you came with?" Laynie said and leaned her chin in the hand. No way that she was gonna wear a dress.
(A/N: I dunno if the word is gown for that kinda dresses but I'm not sure…)
Josephine gave her a surprised look. "I thought it was every girls dream to wear one of those beautiful dresses?" She said and cocked her eyebrows.
Laynie simply snorted. [And I thought Josephine was pretty okay…]
- "Do I look like one of those girls?" She replied and frowned in annoyance. Nope, she hated both dresses and big parties…
- "Maybe not… But you must wear one tomorrow." Established Josephine.
- "Then I'm not going."
- "Me either. I don't like that kinda stuff." Said Kai suddenly. He just saw an opportunity to be alone with Laynie.
Josephine seemed to be frustrated now and sighed. "Come on now! If you don't go, you can't hear the second good new!"
- "I've heard what you count as a 'good new', thank you." Stated Laynie coolly and crossed her arms.
[Wow, this week is just getting worse… My grandma is gone and I've to wear a damn dress!] Laynie thought and started to feel even more miserable than before. But the least thing she wanted was their pity.
- "If, and notice the if, I go to the banquet, do I really have to wear a dress?" She said slowly and looked at Mr. Dickenson who had been quite during the little discussion.
Mr. Dickenson stroked his moustache. (A/N: hehe, I've always wanted to write that ^^)
- "Well, if the cards not have been sent out yet I guess we could change it to an informal event… I'll phone my secretary again. Excuse me."
- "I can't believe that you don't wanna wear a dress. You're such a tomboy!" Shouted Dizzi with her metallic voice.
- "Yeah, and I'm damn proud about it too!" replied Laynie in a bored tone. She didn't care what people said and thought about her way of dressing. "Girl" clothes were so… impractical and uncomfortable.
- "If I wasn't a bitbeast trapped in a computer, I would go! AND wear a dress."
Laynie bent over to the laptop and started to search they keyboard with big interest. "Wow, what a nice button! A shutdown button? What will happen if I push it?" She said and pretended to sounds innocent.
- "No! Don't push it! Don't push it! Don't…" Dizzi made a relieved sigh when Laynie sat down onto the chair again.
Kenny was just about to say something to Laynie but was cut by Mr. Dickenson coming back. He smiled happily.
- "So? Were the cards already posted?" asked Ray and Mr. Dickenson shook his head.
- "No, I was just in time. The banquet is no longer formal."
(A/N: I dunno what u call a banquet if it's not formal but who cares really? U can call it whatever u want to…)
Ray and Max grinned at Laynie and Kai. "Looks like you don't have any excuse for not going then?"
- "Hmph." Replied Kai and Laynie at the same time, making everyone laugh.
- "I've put some more money into your account so all you have to do now is to find the clothes. I'm really late for an appointment now, so if you excuse me…" Mr. Dickenson seized his hat and went out from the kitchen, followed by the Bladebreakers (minus Tyson).
- "I'll come back later tonight, but until we meet again… Good bye and good luck with the shopping."
- "We'll need that…" muttered Laynie.
The time ticked away and soon, it was past lunchtime. Tyson was still asleep and Laynie was fed up with his snorings. It made it impossible for her to draw…
[Okay, that's it!] She thought angrily and headed for the kitchen. [Let's make Tyson's awaking wet and cold…]
- "U, Laynie? What are you gonna do with the water and the ice-cubes?" asked Kenny carefully, watching Laynie take a bowl and pour water into it.
- "Give Tyson a nice present…" mumbled Laynie and tested the water with her finger. She smiled with satisfy. The water was freezing.
She walked out of the kitchen again, followed by Kenny who tried to stop her.
- "Laynie, I don't know if you should do that? I mean, the bed will be all wet and I don't think Tyson…" But Laynie never got to know what Kenny thought Tyson was gonna do, because he was cut short by a loud roar. From Tyson…
- "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Man, what are you doing? It's freezing! I'm freezing! C… C…old!"
Tyson flew up from his bed and started to run around in the room. He stopped when he noticed Laynie's smirking face.
- "It was you! You're so going down for this! I'll get you!" He said and clenched his hands into fists. Laynie laughed.
- "Wow, I'm so scared Tyson!" She said and pretended to shake, making Tyson even angrier. "You see Tyson, your biggest problem is your temper. If you only could control it, you would be the best Beyblader in the world."
Tyson snorted. "I AM the best Beyblader in the world!" He said.
- "And how could I beat you then?" Laynie cocked one eyebrow and Tyson was speechless. She had beaten him, hadn't she? He opened his mouth but closed it again. Laynie laughed again and walked back to the kitchen. She could still hear Tyson complain from the bedroom.
- "She has been hanging around Kai too much. Talk about bad influence that guy has!"
And straight after that, the unmistakable sound of Tyson getting his butt kicked again by the 'bad-influence' guys himself, Kai. Laynie smirked and walked back into the room.
- "Not your day today Tyson?" She said and shook her head. For a pretty long time, she had forgot all the thoughts about her grandma and the banquet coming up. But now, they hit her again and she needed to be alone for a while. The small living room with the TV was silent so Laynie assumed that no one was there. But when she come closer to the sofa, she could see Ray sit there, doing nothing.
- "Ray?" Laynie said and walked closer. "Are you okay? What are you doing?"
Ray didn't open his eyes. "Meditating. Do you wanna join?"
Laynie smiled. "Thanks, but I don't think so. My grandma tried to teach me when I was younger, but she gave up. She always said that I was too restless…"
- "You must miss her a lot." Ray opened his eyes and smiled at Laynie.
- "I guess." Sighed Laynie. "But I know that she would be so mad if I kept returning to the past. I know that she want me to continue."
- "She sounds wise." Ray commented and Laynie smiled.
Suddenly, Kai came into the room, followed by a pink-haired girl. Mariah.
- "Ray, your girlfriend is here to see you…" He said and smirked. Ray and Mariah blushed deeply both and disappeared from the room very quick.
Kai sat down, next to Laynie in the sofa. "What were you two doing?" He said and Laynie smiled teasingly.
- "You're not jealous are you?" She said and Kai snorted.
- "Jealous? Me? You must be kidding."
Laynie laughed but decided to change the subject. "What did Mariah want?"
Kai shrugged. "I don't know."
None of them said something for a while, they just sat there, enjoying the others presence. Suddenly, they could hear Tyson shout at them from the other room.
- "Hey guys, Mariah promised that she'll help us with the shopping! Hurry!"
Kai and Laynie exchanged gazes that said something like 'Oh no!' but rose reluctantly from the sofa. They walked out to the others who were putting on their shoes, ready to go out.
- "This is gonna be so fun! I just love shopping!" Chirped Mariah happily. "And I've seen the most perfect dress for you Laynie!"
Laynie groaned on the inside. [This is gonna be a loooong day…]

Chapter twelve done then… It turned out pretty boring I think but it's necessary to get to the fun bit. I've decided the country now!
*drum roll*
SCOTLAND!!!!!
I just wanna say that most of the things I'm gonna write about Scotland is probably info from my two Scotland experts, Jennifer and She Devil 2004.
Bear with me and the sappy chapter…
