HELLO my faithful readers! And welcome to any new ones! Ok, so if you haven't picked up on it yet, there is NO beybladeing in this story. I just use the characters in the story! So instead of them being teammates, they're friends. Anyway, I'm trying to think of some ay to bring the blade breakers into the story but I haven't thought of it yet…. Anyway if you finish reading and have an idea on how I can pull them into the story, let me know in your review!!!

"Have fun?" An elderly man with gray hair asked the group of teenagers, causing them to stop in their tracks.

The trip back to the village had taken nowhere as long as the trip there, considering how happy and energetic they now were. They had run back into the village yelling and giggling and having fun. They were so self involved that they hadn't even noticed everyone looking at them. Children hid behind their mommies and adults gave them stern looks.

But now, as the elder crossed his arms and cocked an eyebrow, they stopped talking and realized just how much attention they were getting.

"Uh… what do you mean?" Liia asked, trying to keep her voice steady. She smiled weakly as the old man gave her a disapproving look.

"We… we… we…" Dentelle stammered, running a hand through her messed up hair.

"Boys," He said solemnly, nodding his head towards Ozuma, Joseph and Dunga. "If you wouldn't mind I'd like to talk to the girls alone." The boys nodded vigorously and took off at a run, happy to have an excuse to leave. "Ladies, if you wouldn't mind stepping inside." He said, turning and opening the door to his one story home.

The girls shot nervous glances at each other and stepped inside, following the elder. He led them down a narrow hallway into a wide room, with no furniture.

"Please sit." He motioned for them to sit on the floor. Blindly obeying him they plopped down on the ground.

"Now because of the events that took place today at Serendipity Pond…" He began quietly, but Dentelle cut him off.

"WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING! I SWEAR!" She blurted anxiously, slapping a hand over her mouth. The elder raised and eyebrow and sat down in front of them.

"Who are you kidding? You created a second sun out there today! For gods sake if you didn't do that then who did?!" he joked, placing his hands in his lap.

"Uh…" Clarity tried to think fast, but the Elder continued to speak.

" The elders met and we believe you are ready for your Test." He said, a slight smile emerging on his ace. The girls took this as a good sign.

"Cool." Miriam said, stretching her arms out in front of her.

"So when are we talking about? In one week, two weeks?" Dentelle asked, leaning back and resting on her elbows.

"Tonight." He said happily, jumping up onto his feet, startling the girls. They sat in awe, frozen from shock.

"Wha-what do you mean 'tonight'?" Clarity stammered, slowly getting up onto her feet and brushing her legs off. Liia followed suit.

"You don't mean, tonight-tonight do you?" She asked nervously, running a hand through her pitch black hair.

"Of course I mean tonight-tonight, what other tonight is there?" He laughed in an ancient voice, ushering them out of the room. Dentelle and Miriam just walking like zombies, there minds playing the word 'tonight' over and over again. At the door way the elder opened the door and gently pushed them all outside.

"Oh, and don't forget to wear your birth uniforms. Your parents will know what I mean."

***

"Liia get your butt down here!" Ozuma yelled up the stairs, clearly annoyed.

"Ozuma, you can't make me go!" She screeched in a squeaky voice. Ozuma rolled his eyes and stomped up the stairs.

"You're a real bugger you know that?" Ozuma growled, knocking on the door to his sister bedroom.

" I look stupid." She whined, opening the door a bit. It was just enough for Ozuma to see his sisters head.

Her hear was pulled up into a twist with strands of red hanging loose. A white lily was tucked above her left ear, setting off the blackness of her tresses. The prettiest part by far was her eyes, which were more strikingly turquoise than usual. She had them lined in thick black eyeliner and her eyelashes were somehow double as long as they usually were.

"You look great, I don't know what you're talking about." He said, rolling his eyes and opening the door all the way.

This was the first time Ozuma had ever seen his sister in a dress. And he was beginning to think she should wear them more often.

Liias dress was perfect for her. It completely suited her element. The fabric was a mossy green silk with gold and brown vines embroidered onto it. It had a traditional Asian collar, and no sleeves. The top half was form fitted and suited her perfectly. At the waistline it flared and ended just above the knees. A slit down the front that reached up to the waist revealed brown cotton shorts. The whole look was stunning, especially on her.

"You look wonderful Liia."

***

" I look wonderful!" Clarity squealed, spinning on her heel. She admired her self in the mirror, striking various silly poses.

Her outfit was absolutely beautiful on her, accenting everything that was pretty about Clarity.

Her baby blonde hair flowed like water down to her knees, slightly wavy like always. It sparkled in the light, just like the silver eye shadow she was wearing. Her dress colour matched her element perfectly. It was a turquoise with sliver lines shimmering through it. The top was perfectly fitted with flowing sleeves that were longer than her arms. A starch white strip of cotton fabric was wrapped around her waist, tied into a big bow at the back. Below the waist the dress loosened and reached down to the floor. Two slits that ran from the floor to her waist, one on either side of her, showing that she was wearing baggy white cargo pants underneath the dress.

She blew a kiss to the mirror one more time before running out of her room.

"This is going to be so much fun!"

***

"How the hell do you figure this is going to be fun?" Miriam snapped at her twin sister as she brushed her long blue hair. Flipping it over her shoulder impatiently she began to work on her makeup.

"Think about it. We're about to take a test that will change out lives forever, that will have a lasting impression on us. We haven't studies AT ALL for this Test… if that's not fun than what is!?" Dentelle squealed excitedly, pulling her silver dress on over her head. However something was stuck and she could pull it on completely or get it off. She ran helplessly around the room, banging into furniture and yelling incoherent sentences.

"Get over here idiot!" Miriam yelled to her sister, grabbing her arm as she ran by.

"Mkflapmalipt!" Dentelle yelled desperately from inside the dress, jumping around like a moron. Miriam rolled her eyes and grabbed the bottom of the dress. With one swift yank she pulled the dress down, freeing her sister. Dentelle thanked her and repositioned it.

Dentelles outfit was purely silver. The top was strapless and fitted to her body. At the waist a long strip of white fabric was tied around her waist, knotted at her side. The skirt of the dress was cut bellow the knees and had a fringe of white ribbon.

"Yours is better than mine." Miriam whined, frowning at her outfit that laid across the bed.

Miriam was the most unique of them all. It wasn't even a dress. There were two pieces to her outfit, pants and a top. The top was tight fitted and red. Orange and yellow flamed were embroidered along the bottom, really reflecting her element. The pants were straight seamed and were made of dark gray cotton. Halfway up the left leg three stripes, red orange and yellow, were sown around it.

Miriam wrinkled her nose as she changed into it, and then slipped on some running shoes.

"Want me to do your hair?" Dentelle asked her sister, jumping onto the bed. Dentelle had done her hair while Miriam had changed.

She had taken a hairbrush to it and pulled it back into two braids. Miriam nodded in defeat as she took one last glance at her reflection.

"This day sucks."
***

"This is the most important day in the history of the Tikani Tribe." The Chief of the village said in a loud voice. There was no need though, considering everyone present was hanging onto his every word.

The whole village had gathered at Serendipity Pond. Parents and children were seated along the edge of the woods, listening to the chief talk. The 'Chosen Four' were standing beside him, fidgeting nervously.

Liia was digging a hole in the ground with the toe of her shoe, Miriam was playing nervously with a strand of her hair, Clarity was staring at the ground, refusing to look at anyone and Dentelle was biting her lip, as she looked at all the people who had gathered. None of them were listening to a thing the chief was saying.

"The Chosen Four have displayed their talents in public, and just as the ledged reveals, this means they are ready for The Test." He explained, motioning to the girls. Clarity blushed slightly as a few of the boys winked at her.

"Holy crap, I'm going to die. I'm going to die, right here, right now. Right in front of all theses people, I'm going to die of embarrassment." She thought to herself, looking over to her three friends.

"So tonight, on the Chosen Fours half birthday-" The chief said slightly louder, hyping everyone up. But out of nerves, Liia spoke out.

"It is?" She asked loudly, completely unaware that April 26th was her half birthday. All of the tribe members looked at her weird, as if to say 'are you kidding me?' She smiled apologetically. "Sorry. Please continue…"

The Elder rolled his eyes and continued. " The Chosen Four will perform The Test." He finished, to the cheering of most of the tribe. Clarity paled significantly and Liia gulped loudly. Dentelle and Miriam held hands and closed their eyes, taking in deep calming breaths.

"Ladies, please step forward." A different person, this time a woman spoke to them. She stood ten feet away from them, a long silver, blue, red and green candle held lit in her hand. The girls timidly took a few steps towards her. The woman was wearing a dress similar to theirs, except it was all of their colours, just like the candle.

"Tonight," She said in a loud clear voice as they took their places in front her. "You will be united in such a way that you have never been before. But first I will tell you of your individuality." She gazed upon them lovingly, making them feel a bit better about this whole thing. "As your uniforms display you were each born under different elements. The Fire Goddess, Canayal, smiled upon Miriam when she was born, where as the Goddess of Wind, Komanini, chose her twin, Dentelle. They bestowed their unique powers upon you two in the form of communication.

Miriam, I believe you have always had a bond with fire. Fire has a unique quality of bringing light to someone's dark and dreary life. A way of making you feel like your never alone." She said quietly, looking upon Miriam and Dentelle with a gaze of understanding and knowledge. Miriam nodded solemnly, and the woman continued.

"Dentelle, when the gift of communicating with the wind was given to you, it brought simple pleasures. The feeling of the wind in your hair and the warmth of a summer breeze. The simplest things that everyone else took for granted, you enjoyed every day of your life. Things that other people missed, you picked up on." This time it was Dentelle turn to look amazed.

"How the hell does she know all this?" Dentelle thought to herself, her eyes wide with shock. The woman continued, this time turning to Clarity.

"Clarity, do you realize just how much you have in common with your element? Your name for instance, Clarity, is just like the water. So pure and sweet, something so good to hear. But it's not just your name, its you. You are water and water is you. You both are temperamental, calm at sometimes but stormy the next minute. Your mood swings reflect how water changes from still to choppy in only moments. Water is so like you, always brewing up trouble, that you probably never noticed it. Its something that I hope, and Water Goddess Nomania hopes, you will now think about everyday. You have something that is your perfect match." She smiled at a dumbfounded Clarity. Claritys mouth hung open, her mind trying to process what she had just heard. The woman smiled some more and then turned to Liia.

"Liia. You are strong, strong in the spirit, strong in the soul and… strong in the head." The tribe chuckled at this, knowing that it was a character trait that had been passed down generation from generation of Liias family. There had never been a Kekepani who wasn't stubborn. "But these traits are good, and explain fully why Goddess Pokili chose you. She was the bossiest of the Goddesses, always wanting more power, wanting perfection. Liia, you were given this power because deep down you want the same things. Controlling Earth means complete power. But Pokili knew you would use these powers well, just as she had. You were chosen for your lack of respect and your thirst for more. Traits that some say are unbecoming and evil, but apparently lie in you, the leader of the Chosen Four." She smiled wittily, winking when she finished. Liia blushed and looked down to the ground, knowing full well that all the things she had said were true.

"But." As the word came out of the woman's mouth all heads snapped up to look at her. "But, that isn't the whole picture. The Goddesses gave you each something that you wouldn't be able to live without. Miriam, Canayal gave you a friend. Someone who wouldn't ever leave your side. Some one to light your way. Dentelle, Komanini wanted you to be perceptive, have such a perspective in life that nothing could stand in your way. No obstacle, whether it be physical or metal, could ever stand between you and your goal. Clarity, Nomania granted you something that completes you. Your other half. Your twin. Yourself. It is you, and everything you stand for that came within your goddesses' gift. And Liia, Pokili thought you were so much like herself that she had to give you her greatest gift. The one thing, SHE couldn't do without. Control. Control over Earth, control over the Chosen Four. The power of Control." She said, her voice loud and proud as she summed up everything that needed to be said before she dropped the bomb.

"But you might notice, in the deepest corner of your hearts, your souls, your very selves, you are missing something. Something that without, you'll never be quite complete. Something you need… And that something is your fifth sister. The fifth member of the Chosen Four."
