Investigation

Ch. 3-Alex

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Next Morning~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hilary walked into Tyson's Dojo to find all of the boys awake and

making breakfast, or at least trying to. Rei had the eggs under control, but

made the mistake of having Max and Tyson try to make pancakes. Tyson

was trying to pour the flour in a bowl, but right now there was more flour on

the Max than in the bowl.

At the sight of a flour covered Max, Hilary broke into the giggles,

"Why don't you two leave this to Rei and me."

"We have it under control." Tyson said, dumping more flour on Max.

"No, we don't. Please Hilary." Max begged, coughing. "I think I'm

going to drown in flour."

"No problem." Hilary said laughing and walking toward the bowl.

"No!! Now you are not going to give me any." Tyson complained.

"Why do you say that?" Hilary asked taking the flour away from

Tyson.

"Because you said...quote...If you don't help make the food next

time, Tyson, you won't get any...unquote." Tyson said using finger quotes

at the appropriate times.

"After seeing this I take that back. Go help poor Max clean up,

considering you got him that white." Hilary pushed them out the door.

As soon as they were out of the room, Kai was heard saying, "Wow,

seeing Max is American, I didn't think he could get any whiter. I guess I

was proved wrong." Hilary and Rei both broke into fits of full laughter that

could be heard through the whole house.

At the booming laughter, Max yelled, "At least I look good with flour on!!"

This comment did not get the reaction he hoped, all it did was cause the

laughter to get louder.

Rei walked over to the still laughing Hilary and leaned really close to

her, "Who was that last night?"

His comment stopped Hilary from laughing, "Who was who? I don't

know what you are talking about."

"The guy that wrapped his arms around you last night," Rei stated.

"I...Do...Not...Know...What...You...Are...Talking...About." Hilary

answered once again stating every word slowly and frankly.

"Yes you do. Why won't you tell me? Are you hiding something?"

Rei asked walking back to the eggs.

"No, I am Not." Hilary said whisking the batter into a pulp.

"I believe you are. As my mother always says, 'If you are being

secretive then you are up to something that is not good.' Trust me I will

find out, if you don't tell me." Rei said putting the eggs on a plate.

"Okay, this is what is happening. I have a boyfriend. End of story."

Hilary said.

"Who is he?" Rei asked.

"You wouldn't know him." Hilary answered quickly.

"Why not?" Rei asked raising an eyebrow.

"Because...He...well...you see...he isn't from around here...yeah."

Hilary answered finding a good excuse.

"Where is he from then?" Rei asked.

"A couple of towns over." Hilary answered motioning with her free

hand while taking pancakes off the griddle with the other.

"What's his name?" Rei asked.

'Name? Oh why is Rei so nosy?

Jack...Dave...Matt...James...Alex...yeah I had a relationship an Alex once

and he does live a couple of towns over...I just have to describe him.' "His

name is Alex." She finally answered.

"Oh does he beyblade?" Rei asked picking up the plate of eggs and

walking towards the door.

"A little, but he isn't very good." Hilary answered, picking up the plate

of pancakes.

"You should bring him by so that we can have a little battle." Rei said

out the kitchen door.

"OH NO! He lives too far away." Hilary answered as the put the

plates on the table where Kai, Kenny, Tyson, and a clean Max were sitting.

"Who lives too far away?" Max asked.

"Hilary's boyfriend. Why was he here then last night?" Rei asked

sitting down.

"He was visiting a relative and last night was his last night. He won't

be back for a little while." Hilary answered quickly scooping some eggs

onto her plate.

"What's he like Hilary?" Kenny asked.

"Yes, what is he like?" Kai repeated raising an eyebrow sounding

slightly amused.

"His name is Alex and he lives a few towns over. He is about 5'9, has

brown hair, blue eyes, and is quite funny." Hilary answered putting some

eggs in her mouth.

"Who really cares? We can't waist our time talking when we should

be eating and then going to the mall to sign up for the latest competition!"

Tyson exclaimed.

"Sure." Hilary smiled as they all finished eating.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Later at the Mall~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Well here we are!" Kenny said as they walked toward the sign up

table for the competition.

Suddenly a voice called from behind the group, "HILARY!!!"

Hilary quickly turned around, recognizing the voice at once, "Alex!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~TBC~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chibi-Kari: Well that was it...What will Hilary do now that her wonderful lie

is going down the drain? On will you know if you want me to continue. And

I will know if you review.

Max: Hmmph

Chibi-Kari: Yeah. Well Max is still mad at me, so I have to do this...please

review and Bai-Bai!
