Phoenix: Bleh. Squat is sick so I have to write this chapter by myself. Mrr. After a GAINT writers block I have had an idea. And as you can see, we have run out of coffee and sugar so I am in a bad mood. Please don't get on the bad side of me because I am really not in the mood to fight. And somebody is sending me e-mails bashing my writing and sending me viruses on all these different addresses, which I have blocked. If you are that person or are like that person, as I said before I'm not in the mood to be picking fights, so if you don't like the way I write stories just leave me alone. If I don't want flames in my reviews it doesn't mean you can bombard me with all these stupid e-mails like one I received just now saying and I quote 'you are a bad writer'. I may not be up to Tolkien's standard of writing, I agree, but it doesn't mean I'm not getting there slowly. I'm only a mere teenager, you can't expect every one's literacy skills to be up to full standard. I try to make my stories easy to understand for those who get confused easily and who can't read very well but enjoy reading, so whoever you are sending me these stupid viruses when I have Norton anti virus downloaded, shut up and bog off, I can't waist my time on some worthless, selfish person like you who thinks that they are great. If my writing is really that bad in your point of view then I'd like to see you come up with something that beats J.R.R. Tolkien, J.K. Rowling, Jacqueline Wilson and Enid Blyton put together.
Kai: Sheesh...------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ren looked around her after she was finally able to barge her way off the plane before it took off and took her back to her wailing family, well, excluding her brother. She sucked the clean, fresh air into her lungs and gave a sigh of relief. Ren had always been locked away in her small district. Always getting into trouble and afraid ever since her brother tried to slit her wrists when she was 8, but her mother came to the rescue. Everyone told her that the world was a frightening place and was somewhere where an adult should always be around her. Ren wasn't an adult just yet, but she wasn't a child ether. Surely she was old enough to go about on her own? She was sure of it. Ren had never been so free in her life. She had all the time in the world to do whatever she wanted in 6 months, 6 whole months all to herself. 182 days of paradise. Only 60 days and counting to her birthday, as well as that too. Ren was so exited she didn't notice the only problem to distract her from her joy. She had nowhere to go. After repeating the pattern of getting used to the cleanliness of the air around her, the thought hit her smack bang on her head. 'Perhaps getting used to my area might be a good idea' Ren thought. Looking around for an exit off the flight grounds, she saw a random person loading a cart with luggage bags and suitcases. She ran towards him, as she suspected him to know his way around. She didn't want to give him a rude impression, but she didn't hesitate to ask him something boggling her mind. She walked up to him shyly and tapped him lightly on the shoulder. He quickly turned around.
"Um, sorry to bother you, but where to I pick up my luggage?" She said, slightly twisting her foot. The man just grunted and pointed to a door a couple of feet away.
"Oh, right, thanks!" Ren shouted as she ran towards the door. As she got closer she started to slow down into a sprint then into a walk. She walked up to the glass doors and stepped on the mat, which alerted the doors to open up before her. As she walked inside a whole unforeseen world stood in front of her. The whole roof was a glass dome, endlessly spreading across to whole building, letting the sunrays shine through. There was no need for lights to be fitted in the dome. At night the moon's warm glow would shine through the building, giving it peace and joy. Ren brought a strand back of her raven black hair and gawped at the sight. It was one of the most beautiful things she had ever seen. While admiring the sight something caught her eye. Her bag was going around the conveyor belt! She rushed over to the luggage pickup place and grabbed her bags just before they went back in the black flaps. As she stood up trying get breath, she leaned against a notice board to balance her body for a while, when something sharp pierced her arm. "Ow!" shouted Ren and she rubbed the cut that was left in the sharp object's place. When she had stopped emphasizing how much it hurt, she turned around to hit the thing in anger, but just before she was about to raise her clutched fist, she saw a flyer that greatly interested her. She read the title that built up her interest and carried on to read.
BEYBLADE BATTLE ASSIOSIATION PRESENTS
The BBA will be holding a mini tournament in Twitwood Park for all beybladers that are interested. There will be 5 rounds that will build up the semi-finals and then the finals in teams. The teams consist of two people each; both will fight in a twin battle facing the other team. The first team to be knocked out of the arena lose and the winners advance onto the next round. The winners of the final will receive a trophy and a power- up for their beyblade. They will also be able to meet the Bladebreakers. The contest will be held on the 19 Th June 2004. You will also be able to register on that day until 3 o clock. We hope to see you there!
Stanley (A.N. I think?)Dickinson, head of the BAA
By the time Ren had finished reading, she looked at a clock nearby. 'Two o clock already!' She ran around the airport asking several random people where Twitwood Park was, one actually piped up with an answer.
"Well, I've been living in these parts for a while now. From here, go out the exit, take the path on the left, after walking up half-way turn right and you're there." The old woman rambled to Ren. After trying to listen so very hardly Ren ran towards the exit shouting "thanks!" as she ran. Before she could run out of the exit, she heard the crooked voice of the old woman that had just gave her directions.
"Waiiit!" Ren turned around and looked at the woman hobbling towards her. "B, by...any chance...are you...going...to the beyblade tournament this afternoon?"
"Well, yeah I guess."
"Oh. You see my granddaughter, Gloria, is entering the contest too. She doesn't have anybody to go with yet because she just arrived at these parts a couple of days ago and if she doesn't find anyone to go with by 3 o clock she won't be able to enter and it would be awfully upsetting. I know you don't know her or you might be twinned up with someone already-" Ren didn't want to say no to the old woman's words. But in a way she didn't want to say yes either. She could've said 'I'll think about it' and never really do and just enter it without ever meeting the woman again. But Ren wasn't like that.
"No, no. I just got here! I don't even know anyone properly yet."
"Oh splendid! Gloria, get over here!" A couple of seconds after the woman called Gloria, a smallish teen popped her head out from a nearby gift shop. She had long mousy-brown hair tied back in a rather long ponytail. She wore a yellow tartan mini skirt with a white shirt and Purpled-blue eyes with black knee-length boots.
"Yes granny?" She called to the old woman.
"Gloria, I found you someone to go to the tournament with you! Come over here and meet her." Ren thought the impact was a little quick. The old woman didn't even know her name yet. Gloria sprinted towards her grandma and stood next to her. She fixed her eyes on Ren's Emerald green eyes and looked her up and down.
"Gloria, this is, urm-" The old woman hesitated with Ren's name, since she had forgotten to ask. Ren didn't just let her hesitate and came to the rescue.
"Ren"
"Um, yes, thankyou. This is Ren." The old woman finished off her sentence. Gloria offered her hand to Ren.
"Nice to meet'cha Ren! I'm Gloria!" Ren accepted the hand and smiled. "Ren, we should get goin', it's already quarter past two and you haven't registered yet!" Gloria said happily as she pulled Ren away with her down the path.
