Men Don't Change
Kohari: Here's the ending. Nobody kill me, okay? And I don't own Beyblade, so nobody sue me.
Epilogue
Kai and Hilary went steady for another few years. Then, Kai started seeing a few fangirls, and Hilary got jealous. "After two years of his crap, I quit begging," as the song goes (which I definitely do not own.). When they finally broke up, Kai wasted no time going for a girl in a nightclub.
Tyson caught Hilary on the rebound, and they immediately married. Even Kento was invited, who had been given a taste of humble pie and had fallen for the school nerd (they got married three years after the math). Today, they're living happily, with two kids: a male by the name of Brendan, and a little girl who goes by Katie. They moved to New York to stay close to Max and his mother, who remarried with his father. The others have long since lost touch, but Mr. Dickenson is planning a reunion real soon.
Ray went back home and married Mariah after Salima disappeared. They own a dojo and teach martial arts and beyblading skills to the neighborhood kids, three of which belong to them, two boys and a female. One of the darling boys was named after Tyson, and if you didn't know any better, you'd say the kid looked just like his namesake. The other was Chang, named after Lee's grandfather, who had given Driger to Ray, and, sadly, deceased shortly before the little tyke was born. The youngest of which was named Kendra Salima, after Ray's second love. The second two have raven hair, but on the young girl, you could swear you saw a twinge of pink.
Kenny was wed the same year to a super model. Their bundles of joy turned out to be the most intelligent (and good-looking) children in their academies.
Kai...they have yet to find him. Last time anyone had heard from him, he was in Arabian Peninsula. Max had a hunch it was a honeymoon, but with Kai, you just can't be sure.
Max...he still misses Mariam. Emily went away to a college in another country, so luckily he still had time to think about who it was he wanted.
Present Day...
"Now, Katie, don't get too dirty!" her loving mother called as the 3- yr-old began to build a castle in the sandbox as her elder brother slid down the slide. They were in one of the local parks, and it was currently crowded with children. Brendan (5) loved playing tetherball, and Hilary and the kids' godfather, Max, looked on with affection as the ball swung this way and that around the pole.
"Cute kids. Half-wish I had some of my own," Max commented, leaning against the bench Hilary was sitting on at the moment.
"Thanks. I'm sure you will someday," Hilary encouraged. He usually accompanied her to the park while they waited for Tyson to come home. It had become part of their daily routine for him to pick them up there and they walk the few blocks home. Tyson didn't really like for his wife and kids to be without protection. Ya never know what kind of whackos are on the streets nowadays.
"But with who?" Max quizzed, chuckling. She allowed herself to laugh slightly. They both knew how Max's heart was tugging in two directions. Not unlike the way Hilary's had.
"Only time will tell," Hilary sighed. They hadn't seen Mariam in forever. To be honest, they were losing hope that she'd ever come back.
The subject turned back to Tyson's offspring. "Wonder which one of you they'll end up like," Max pondered aloud, jerking his head in her kids' direction.
"I dunno," Hilary confessed. "But I can't wait to find out. And whatever they're like, I won't have a negative remark to say about it."
At that time, Katie and Brendan got all excited and ran over to a silhouette under the park entrance trees. The figure hugged them tightly and picked them up, commenting that they were getting heavier every day.
Hilary smiled as she stood up. Max stayed where he was as she went over to the man and took Katie, her splitting image, from him.
"Hey, gorgeous," Tyson greeted as he pecked her on the cheek (Katie: Eww! Kissing!). The two adults laughed at that little statement. Even Max couldn't suppress a grin from a few yards away.
"Is Uncle Max coming for dinner, Papa?" Brendan asked innocently. His parents looked over at the blond approaching them.
"That's up to Uncle Max," Hilary answered. To "Uncle Max," she said, "You know you're always welcome, if you want to come over. We have plenty of food." (Brendan: Thanks to Papa!)
"Nah," Max declined. "Uncle Maxie's got a date tonight with a certain carrot-top visiting during her vacation."
"Daddy says you two need to go ahead and get hitched," Katie said innocently. Her father blushed, rubbing the back of his head nervously.
"Does he?" Max asked slyly, and they all burst out with laughter. Eventually, he had to leave. "I gotta go. You know how Em gets when I'm the least second late," he remarked as he said his good-byes and left them to themselves. It was at that time that the family realized that they needed to go on and get home, too.
Later that night, when the kids were asleep, Hilary lay on the couch watching Tyson flip through the channels of the television. They were on opposite ends of the couch, feet touching (Tyson took advantage of that and flirted with her during commercial breaks). Suddenly, he switched the T.V. off and went over to his little bride and lay on top of her.
"Do you ever miss Kai?" he inquired, his hands slipping around her waist. How had she managed to stay so skinny?
"Sometimes," she admitted, and his face fell a little. "But I think that breaking up with him was the best thing to happen to me. If I hadn't..." she wrapped her arms around his neck, "I wouldn't've married the greatest man in the world."
We all know what happened next. And it was a happily ever after.
