AF4e1: Dun own dun sue! Well, I dun own part of it neway! ^_^
~On Our Own~
+Chapter 1=Beginning Of Their Adventure+
Kai clenched a letter in his hands until his knuckles started turning white. He didn't care though. Right now all he cared about was his flight to Russia. Yes, he was returning to his nightmare, or more like a dream.
-*Flashback*-
"Why didn't you show these friggin' letters to me?!" Kai screamed at Voltaire after being caught sneaking around his office-yet again. Okay, so maybe it was obvious why he wouldn't show the letters to Kai.
"I knew that you were a total creep but even I never knew you would stoop THIS low!" he continued. Ever since the Championships, it turns out that even the BBA didn't have enough evidence to prove that Voltaire truly had any thing to do with the whole bitbeast stealing plot therefore not even Mr. Dickenson in all his glory couldn't put him behind bars [much to EVERYONE'S disappointment].
"I didn't think it would be important." shrugged his 'loving' grandfather. That was a big and very mistaken move.
Kai could tell his grandfather was trying to get off topic and escape Kai's very famous wrath that he now saves up just to get mad at Voltaire for anything stupid, obviously for all the torture he laid on him before. "BUT THEY WERE ADDRESSED TO ME!!! THESE FUCKIN' LETTERS ARE MINE!!!!!!" he shouted back.
Voltaire sighed this was definitely not one of those grandfather/grandson times. He finally gave up and decided to let Kai win this one, then again he ALWAYS won. Now that was strange. "So what are you going to do about it then?" he asked challengingly. Voltaire knew he was going down, but not without a fight.
"I'm going to go find her!" he yelled back.
"She might not accept you. After all these years she should've been here a long time ago and pick you up."
"I don't care. I'd rather be anywhere but here with you!" with that, Kai stomped out of the office and walked back to his room.
-*End Flashback*-
'I definitely need to thank Mr. Dickenson for getting me this flight.' he thought. Voltaire objected to the idea of helping Kai pay for his flight to Russia but thank God Mr. Dickenson with some 'persuasion' [failure to imply to his grandson's wishes would only lead to an ugly case for the court] he finally managed to help Kai get to go on the trip.
The worst part was that he couldn't go on a private jet, in fact he had to go on a public flight. Fortunately, after the tournament Kai had dyed the grey part of his hair scarlet red and the bluish part really dark red. He stopped eating and got rid of the blue triangles painted on his forehead. Instead of his same tight attire to wear REALLY dark black baggy pants as well as REALLY loose clothing and black leather jacket to finish it off.
Gothic clothes and a fiery coloured hair was not a good combination making him less recognizable. Only his teammates and his grandfather could recognize him though.
The letter crumpled in his hands explained to Kai [after the world championships] that the court had done some research and discovered that Kai had a mother living in Russia and that he had the right to either stay with his grandfather or go off to live with his mother who was still living in Moscow Russia.
"All I can hope now is that she'll accept me..." he murmured. Kai soon fell asleep and slept the rest of the way, for once having good dreams. ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________
"Mom!" a blue eyed blonde screamed as he rushed over and jumped onto his mother in an embrace.
"Oh Maxie I'm so glad to see you again!" she laughed Mrs. Tate, with the same wavy blonde hair and delicate beautiful eyes.
"Me too mom I missed you so much!" continued Max. He looked up ready to see his mother smile down at him and tell him that he missed him and loved him a lot. Most kids with divorced parents would probably die at the spot of embarrassment but not Max. He loved to be reassured by her love for him. But when he gave her his adorably cute teddy bear eyes, she didn't respond to them as she would usually do.
"Huh?" he questioned. Mrs. Tate only grinned at him and shook her head. Her grin almost disappeared as she tried to explain something until they were interrupted by,
"Yo Max! Are these your luggage?" asked a familiar gruff male voice from behind the two. They both turned around and Max smiled happily when he recognized who it was.
"Steve! What are you doing here?" he asked in a surprised, yet very warm manner.
"Here's your luggage, by the way, Judy wanted us to be here too since we are friends. That's why we came as well." explained Steve. Three other figures came up behind him. A tall red haired young teen, also someone else who looked like he had come back from a sweaty basketball game, last but not least Max's secret crush an orange haired young girl with glasses.
"Hey Max! How are you doing?" she said politely.
Max blushed as Steve, Eddy, and Michel snickered when they spotted a small pink line run along his cheeks. "Um, just fine Emily." he answered. He turned to see his mother looking at him, almost sadly.
"Well, let's get going then." she said and started walking out the airport. 'She's speaking so business-like, even though she's sort of a workaholic. Nonetheless she would always be relaxed whenever it came to me but now...' Max thought.
He felt almost alarmed about his mother's strange actions but shrugged it off. They all followed her outside. Max expected to find her calling one of those evil, ugly bright yellow taxis but instead she turned and avoided the road and lead them to the parking lot. This confused Max even more. 'Okay, so maybe she decided to stop calling the taxi but to drive the All Starz Research Center?' he thought to himself.
Was he ever wrong, before Max could ask what was going on he was stunned when the group stopped in front of a HMV van. "Holy..." Max whispered but clamped his mouth shut and covered it with his hands. He had never sworn before and he definitely wasn't going to start in front of his mom. After all, she was Catholic. Max wasn't religious (I'm a Christian) at all but that didn't mean he didn't have any respect for his mother.
Either his mother heard him but let it go or she didn't hear at all. Judging by her expression Max would say that she heard but let it go. She took out her car keys and unlocked the car allowing Steve to open the trunk and put all of Max's bags in the back. Steve and Eddy slid into the far back seat while Michael and Emily got into the second row.
Naturally that left Max in the passenger seat and Judy to drive. "Wow mom! You've got a van now?" Max asked surprisingly.
She chuckled, "Why yes."
Max raised his eyebrow, "But Mom! Didn't you say that you'd rather use the bus from the research center or a taxi so then you won't have to pay for the mortgage?" he piped up.
"Big spender." smiled Michael. He received a painful nudge from Emily.
At that comment, Judy started to look more uncomfortable and glanced at the rearview mirror as if trying to find some support from the rest of the All Starz. She grimaced when she realized she wasn't going to get any, especially when they were totally occupied with something else. "Well, you see I changed my mind." she answered. Max did not buy it. Her answer wasn't convincing.
"Why?"
"I...have my...reasons."
"What kind of reasons?"
She cringed as she turned the steering wheel to the left and stopped in front of a stop sign. "You'll find out soon sweetie."
'Mom never called me sweetie. The only nickname she ever has in her books for me is Maxie.' Max pointed out unhappily. Judy could tell that there was no point sugar coating what she had in store for her son. She still wasn't sure if she was doing the right thing, she partly felt guilty for not telling him earlier about her surprise.
There followed an awkward silence until the young and happy Bladebreaker, "Well, whatever suits you best mom! Man I can't wait to check out the apartment again! Everyone there is so friendly!"
Again, Judy frowned. 'Why do I get a bad feeling every time she either cringes, grimaces, or frown?' Max asked himself. "We're not going to the apartment."
Again, a terrible and suspenseful silence followed.
"I've got a new house now." she continued as she gripped onto the steering wheel a bit tighter.
"What didn't you also say that you have to pay a lot more with a house?!" he practically screamed.
"Cheapskate." Michael chuckled. This time Emily gave him a vigorous poke on his ribs.
"Well, we're here." she said gloomily as if she regretted her decision to invite her son for vacation. She led him to the door and opened it.
"You still didn't answer-omigawd." he gasped. Inside the house was a man. Standing there with his boxers luckily wearing a white shirt was a man who looked like he was just as old as Judy was. He stopped from where he was at the fridge with a soda in his hands.
"Judy I can see you're back home and with your son, what was his name again? Oh yes Max! Anyway, I'm Jim, welcome to our house." he greeted him and extended his hand out for Max to shake.
Max shifted uncomfortably and turned to his mom who nodded him waiting for him to shake hands with 'Jim'. 'Our house, back home, what is this jerk talking about?' he thought. But the answer was obvious, "Jim is my boyfriend!"
