Kai walked in, dressed in a black tuxedo with a white undershirt. He looked at Queauri in her red halter-top dress and blushed a little.
"We never did finish our battle," Queauri said.
"Let's go outside, this might get a little messy," Kai said.
Reka turned up his nose, "Big show-off." The other kids watching were whispering as well. "He came to her party." "They were in a battle?"
-- Outside -- "Ready? THREE, TWO, ONE, LET IT RIP!"
"Halcyon, attack!"
"Dranzer, finish this fast!"
Halcyon charged Dranzer, shards of ice hanging from its frame. Dranzer came and met the attack; sparks of flame emitting from its center.
"Halcyon!"
"Dranzer!"
The two bit-beasts emerged, locked in combat. Halcyon fluttered its wings a little; glad to be in battle again.
Reka's mouth hung open, not believing what he was seeing.
Dranzer turned and slammed its tail into Halcyon. Halcyon screeched and in turn, whammed its beak into Dranzer. Both beybladers stumbled backwards.
"Dranzer, flame thrower."
"Halcyon, tundra slab."
Suddenly, steam filled the area. When it cleared, the two beyblades bounced back into their beybladers' hands.
"It's a tie!"
"Hey Tyson, I'm glad you guys could come," Queauri said, walking towards them.
Tyson shrugged, "Of course we came. Couldn't miss the birthday of a friend, now could we?"
Rei laughed, "Yeah, a paid vacation and free food, how could Tyson miss it."
"Well, the food is inside," Midori appeared from out of nowhere and waved.
They all began walking inside, Tyson in the lead. When they got in, they bumped into Reka.
"Oh," Queauri sighed, remembering what she was taught about manners. "Reka, this is the Bladebreakers, Tyson, Rei, Max, Kenny, and Hilary. Bladebreakers, this is Reka."
"How's it going?" Tyson offered his hand to shake. Reka sneered, picking up a glass of lemonade and drank.
"O..k.."
"Don't worry, Tyson, he's just grumpy after my sister beat him. Come on, the food is this way," Midori said with a sweet smile.
"You guys had a battle?" Rei asked.
"Yup, they sure did. Reka was cocky and he said he could beat Kai in a battle if he tried, but Kai wasn't here yet, so he battled that kid named Shinji to show-off to my sister. He said whoever won would get to dance with her, but my sister got bored and joined in the battle and changed the stakes to whoever could move Halcyon one inch gets to dance with her, and Reka tried but broke his attack ring trying..."
"Midori," Queauri stopped her sister, "take a breath."
Midori smiled and ran to join Tyson and Hilary at the food table.
"He said he could beat Kai?" Rei said, smiling, "I'd like to see that." He laughed and walked away, chatting with Kenny.
"So," Kai said, when the Bladebreakers were out of hearing range, "is that what I won?"
Queauri looked at him, "What did you win?"
"A dance, right?"
Queauri nodded slightly, blushing. "I guess..."
The music started and the two of them danced. Smoothly, Kai led her around and around. Queauri followed, a strange feeling filled her, like butterflies in her stomach. She stared into the deep purple pool of his eyes.
"Happy Birthday, Queauri," Kai said, smiling.
They stopped dancing in the middle of the floor as Kai took out a little black box. Slowly, Queauri opened it and there, glittering in the light, the ruby bird. She looked at it and looked up at him.
He took it out and put it around her neck, as he did so, Queauri stood up on her tiptoes and kissed him, softly, on his lips. He didn't pull back, and he didn't blush. Naturally, he returned her kiss.
You wouldn't have seen it if you didn't look hard, but the little ruby bird began glowing...
Finally, I finished. The ending wasn't as good as I wanted, but oh well. Thanks everyone for all your reviews. Really appreciate it. Bye bye.
