chic_magnet: yo! Max r u there?
Maxie-poo: yes, (
chic_magnet: dude, change ur screen name right now cuz ur scaring me but neway, how's America so far? (
Maxie: how's this? neway, America had been...not so good as I hoped.
chic_magnet: 0.0 that's the newest statement of the year.
Maxie: my mom's seeing this new scientist from her office.
chic_magnet: what's so wrong wif that?
Maxie: well, it just is!!! o he's probably using her so he could get promoted in the office!
chic_magnet: riiight...well, I'll drop the sub neway.
Maxie: so, how has Hong Kong been Ray?
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::
Ray logged off the barber's computer and didn't bother to answer Max's question. He had just arrived at Hong Kong. He was however thankful that even though he did used to live in an isolated village with absolutely no electricity [there were however some exceptions] the barber who just moved in had a computer that could be used for free if they could pay that is. He smacked the $15 on the desk and jogged out the door.
Ray found himself drowning in the sweet, fresh air. "Ray!" came a familiar and happy female voice.
He turned around and was met by a young and pretty pink haired girl with the exact same golden eyes as him. "So, what were you doing in the salon? Getting your hair trimmed?" she teased.
He smirked and ruffled her hair, "No, I was having an IM conversation with Max."
"IM?" Mariah asked and raised an eyebrow while flipping her hair and tying it into a ponytail. She was new to technology.
"Instant Messaging, or in other words MSN Messenger, it's when you go online on the computer and start 'chatting' with someone online. I can show you if you want."
Mariah waved her hand to dismiss the idea, "No thanks, I'd rather stay simple."
"Simple as in stupid or simple as in-"
"Shut up." she laughed and jabbed him lightly on his shoulder. "Anyway, wanna go play some soccer?" she asked randomly.
Ray smiled, ever since he was what, six he loved playing soccer. Before beyblading really became something serious in his hometown he loved to run around the fields and kicking the ball. He also liked basketball but he couldn't play it often. Soccer was freer. His dad introduced him to the sport after the elders from the village practically barred all the children from ever going out into the basketball court.
He always kept his hands behind his back while kicking the ball remembering that he couldn't use his hands. After all he was a neko-jin, and cats DID love to run.
"You still remember?" he responded. She nodded happily back to him strangely making Ray blush. Mariah loved almost everything Ray loved. She got interested in soccer right away after she saw him playing around in the bright green grassy fields. They spent so many hours there the teenagers were surprised that they didn't just collapse and die.
Lee, Kevin, and Gary didn't like to play something like that. They just watched Ray and Mariah go head to head together. Sometimes Kevin being bored wanted to make bets to see who would win. He would bet on Ray beating Mariah but Lee, being the loveable brother he was rooted for his sister all the way.
"Why did you lose to me that time?" she asked.
Ray left memory lane as he was shocked back to the cruel reality. Back then all he had to worry about was getting caught stealing a snack when he wasn't supposed to or going to bed late. But now he had too much problems to deal with, mostly about his emotions.
He shrugged and continued walking alongside his best friend. The only reason why whenever Kevin and Lee made bets about the two of them in the field and he would lose to Mariah on purpose was because he loved her. Yes, even when they were kids Ray always felt that he had this 'connection' with her. He loved her to bits. Even when he was about to leave the village it was hard for him for not going into her house and saying good bye to her.
'But it's all gonna change now.' he added silently to his mind. 'This summer is the only chance I'll be able to tell her about my feelings!'

"Granger it's good to see you again!" a voice cried out from the wave of crowds. His father cocked his head and smiled softly when he recognized his old college friend and colleague. Tyson couldn't care less otherwise. He stayed near the luggage and only glanced to see his father and another woman shake hands heartily.
The 14 year old teen sighed, usually he would be more enthusiastic about this but today he wasn't. No, correct that, he would NEVER be enthusiastic about this. Ever since his secret girlfriend dumped him because she had found someone else Tyson had really found himself being a bit like Kai.
Alright, correct that again, he was MORE than Kai could ever be in his whole lifetime. Or three, give or take a few. He never told his friends about her knowing that would only cause some problems. An image of the red haired beauty appeared in his mind causing him to bite his lips and tried to prevent him from shedding unwanted tears in this reunion.
"Tyson do you want to meet Daisy?" asked his father.
"Huh?" Tyson blinked at him.
"I said..." 'Why did she break up with me? Was there something so wrong with me? Did I do something to make her leave?'
"Well?"
"Sorry Dad I wasn't listening." he replied sheepishly. Mr. Granger was trying his hardest to be patient but with his son droning him out it was hard to. Tyson walked over to Daisy and shook her hand half heartily trying to put up his fake smile.
"Well, so you're Tyson the World Champion Beyblader? I've heard so much about you from your father! Oh and..." the energetic woman kept going on and on about him it was making Tyson sick.
"So, how has the research been?" asked Mr. Granger.
"Oh it was wonderful John absolutely fabulous! Anyway, so Tyson, how old are you again?" said the brunette as she unlocked her car.
"Um, 14." he answered slowly. 'This woman sure is hyper-even more than Max!'
"Perfect!! I have a daughter who's the same age as you are. I'm sure you'll get along fine. I mean, after she broke up with her boyfriend she has been feeling down lately and not as cheerful as before. I really hope that you can do something about it because right now I think she needs a friend!" she exclaimed quickly.
Tyson only got daughter, boyfriend, cheerful, and friend. It was hard to put it all together with someone who spoke as fast as Mrs. Tatiba. "What the fuck is this woman talking about? I don't even know her and she's already trying to set me up with someone else who I haven't even met yet?! How am I supposed to cheer her daughter up when I can't even cope with my loss?'
After about a 15 minute drive, Tyson and his father found themselves standing in front of what looked like a gigantic outhouse. "This is our ranch!" Mrs. Tatiba explained and practically jogged over to open the door.
"Wow! What kind of animals do you have here?" asked the archeologist curiously.
"Oh, we only have some stray crocodiles and alligators."
Tyson and his father found their jaws almost on the ground. 'An alligator and crocodile ranch?!?! This woman is nuts!' Tyson decided.
"Honey I'm home!" she called out as if nothing happened. A small patter of footsteps was heard ambling down the stairs. A fourteen year old girl who was just a centimeter shorter than Tyson stood at the wooden stairs eyeing him suspiciously. Only Tyson noticed but unfortunately the more than happy parents didn't.
The brunette inherited the ruby eyes from her mother but how her skin was so white was a mystery especially in such a warm country which Tyson had concluded everyone should have a tan that lives there. "Tyson, this is my daughter Hilary Tatiba! Hilary, this is Tyson, the son of one of my old friends in college and from work!" the woman introduced with such a high voice Tyson was beginning to wonder how the girl was able to live in that place for fourteen years without becoming deaf.
"Hmm." she closed her eyes and brushed her shoulder against Tyson's-in a rude manner. Tyson glanced after her. She felt his gaze upon her and glared back.
