Disclaimer: I don't own anything to do with beyblade, omitting the 10 that I bought, adding up to around 100$ (My mom was furiously demonic when she found out!). I do, however own my OCs and plot.

To my reviewers: Thank you all so much.

-Frustrated sigh- Okay, If you're reading this, and choose to review, just pick a number (Either 1,2 or 3) And stick it in there, K?

And a great big ... AAHHH!!! I've recently remembered, since my fics mentioning Biovault, that it is not, in fact, Biovault. It's Biovolt. I'm such an idiot. –Shakes head- it's amazing though, that I was never corrected as when said aloud, Biovault isn't even the same thing. –Puts hand to forehead- Anyway, I may fix this, and I may not. Probably not. That much work confuses me. And now that I'm done with my tangent, I'll continue on.

The week after that went by too fast.

Tyson sleeping in, Kai yelling at him while everyone else ate breakfast, everyone shuffling out into the yard, Hilary arriving, Hours of practise, Lunch, Hours of practise, Dinner and then after that was free time, then bed.

That was their schedule. Day after day, for seven days. Elisabeth's mood gradually worsened as they went by. She was anxious, and the tournament was tomorrow.

The BBA bus had just arrived to take them to Sapporo a day early to get settled.

"You guys have all your things packed?"

Kai had walked into the room, trying to keep order to everyone flying around because they forgot this, or this.

Remy looked at him with disbelief. "My stuff has been packed since I got here."

She was obviously coming with them. As were Tally and Amelia. They couldn't be talked out of watching their friend and ex-team-mate royally kick some ass.

"Mine too. I keep it all in my backpack. I only had a little stuff out." Elisabeth responded.

Kai paused, looking at Elisabeth.

"Kai? Earth to Kai?"

"What? Yeah, sure."

Remy giggled.

Kai gave her a confused look.

"I asked you if you were ready and you were spaced. So I asked you if you wore your grannies underwear." She answered through muffled giggles.

Elisabeth, of course, joined in and Kai flushed. He most certainly did not wear his grannies underwear. What an absurd thing to say.

He left the room in a huff, only to get the girls giggling again.

The doorbell rang (A/N: I'm not exactly sure if there is one, but once again, poetic licence. They need a doorbell.) And Tyson answered. There was a crash.

Tyson walked into the room blushing. "Tally and Amelia are here." He announced quickly and left the room.

Tally and Amelia walked into the room giggling.

Remy and Elisabeth were only almost puzzled.

"You will not believe what Amelia just did!" Tally chuckled.

"I think we can imagine." Remy and Elisabeth said together. "But even so, what did she do?"

They started laughing again. Tally took a breath "Tyson opened up the door and just gaped at Amelia, so she was like 'Hey baby!' and he was so red! So anyway, he goes 'Heyy ladies.' trying to be all suave and stuff and when he goes to lean on the door it just opened more and he fell over!"

Her laughter certainly wasn't concealed.

Remy laughed a little and Elisabeth put on a small smile. 'Poor Tyson. He must be really embarrassed.'

"Oh come on Biz! Don't get like that! It was funny and you know it!"

She grinned. Sometimes it was as if they all knew each other's thoughts. They were close enough to know what went through each other's heads.

"It was, but I can't help but feel bad for the guy. How would you feel?"

"Frickin' hilarious! That was one of the most awesome falls! I don't think even you could pull it off!"

That may, or may not have been true. Elisabeth could be graceful, but not in front of a large amount of people, when it mattered.

She smiled and shrugged. The girls headed into the dojo to see how the boys were doing.

"Any clue what's up with Tyson? He came in all red and wont say anything."

Tally and Amelia felt bad. Elisabeth knew this and smirked when they went over to apologise.

Remy went over to help Max with whatever he was doing. Which wasn't much, but he didn't mind.

Elisabeth wrung her hands. Tomorrow she'd see the Demolition Boys. Hell, she might even see them tonight.

"Hey guys?" She spoke out.

They looked up.

"How long will we be in Sapporo?"

The guys smiled. "About a week," Rei answered, "Why do you ask?"

She grinned a Cheshire cat grin. Tally laughed. She knew that look. Elisabeth replied, "No reason. Just interested."

"I'll see ya later dudes! You too, dudettes!" Hilary gave grandpa a big hug.

"Make sure they go easy on you kid. I want you to make sure they stay in line, got it?"

"Yeah!" She smiled. 'This'll be fun. I just hope Tyson doesn't embarrass us at any restaurants again.'

The loaded onto the bus and it pulled out. Elisabeth was near the back, but not seated. When the bus lurched forwards, she was thrown to the backseat where Kai was sitting quietly.

He saw her head dangerously close to colliding with the wall and reacted like a bullet. He shot out of his seat and in front of her. They we're both, of course, spattered against the wall, but with no residing damage but that the wind had been knocked out of Kai.

He struggled to breath and Elisabeth helped him into a seat and sat next to him.

"Are you okay?" She asked in panicky concern.

He nodded, slowly regaining his breath.

"That was totally my fault! I should have just—"

He was shaking his head fervently. "It's not your fault." His voice sounded rhaspy.

Her eyebrows showed her concern, but quickly looked confused as they noticed the silence of the people on the bus.

They looked around and saw everyone staring. Tyson blinked and Elisabeth blushed.

"Hn." Kai grunted and turned to the window.

Elisabeth was left alone as Tyson Remained staring. Max had already turned back and was doing whatever in his power to make Remy laugh. He was succeeding.

Rei however, was quietly flirting and forever impressing the wonderful Tally. Elisabeth remembered something useless about how she used to adore everything about Tally. She remembered being envious of her good looks and grace. She made a face. Why was she thinking this now? She glanced at Kai. Oh... Yeah.

She saw Amelia alone in the seat opposite her.

She glanced again at Kai and sighed. She wouldn't be conversing much if she stayed here, and as much as she liked his presence, she would like to talk to someone. She was about to face her worst fears, after all.

She slipped, unnoticed into the seat next to Amelia.

They smiled at each other. Amelia nodded knowingly towards Kai and Elisabeth made a face, shaking her head.

Amelia raised an eyebrow and Elisabeth matched this. It was their silent conversation. She did this a lot with Amelia; partly because Amelia had a sense of empathy. She always knew, not what you were thinking, but how you felt.

Amelia frowned. This wasn't like Elisabeth. 'She's a lot more nervous than I thought she would be.'

Elisabeth cocked her head to the side, her eyebrow still raised. This erased Amelia's frown.

"It's nothing. Just..." She got sidetracked. Her eyes made their way to Kai's, enviously watching Amelia. She suddenly felt his jealousy. He was jealous of her?

His eyes quickly darted back to the window. Amelia smiled to herself.

"Just that there's a lot of raging hormonal teenagers on this bus is all. For me it's like being on a roller coaster."

Elisabeth gave her a sad smile. "It must be weird. Feeling what everyone else is feeling. Is it confusing sometimes?"

Amelia cut right to the chase. "Like how I feel happiness that I'm coming with all my friends, but I feel terrified, jealous, anxious and bored too? Yeah. But I'm used to it, so I can tell the difference between their feelings and mine. I'm almost a pro at finding out who the feelings belong to now too."

Elisabeth had a lump in her throat. It was suddenly sore. She knew that Amelia felt her terror. She had hinted in her explanation. But they soon forgot it. They were joking around, having ongoing conversations and even got Kai to join in a game of licence plates. Elisabeth lost, Kai and Amelia tied. It helped that they had window seats.

They had fun, laughing and talking. Kai was part of the conversation after the game and they talked for two hours until they finally got to Sapporo.

The girls argued for their own hotel room instead of mixing it up and won. Even though they spent most of their time in the boys' place, they felt they needed their own rooms if they went out to get ready in privacy, etc.

They all ran in and scope out their rooms. Elisabeth, Amelia and Tally were sharing a room, as were Remy and Hilary. They had rubbed off on each other during Remy's stay. They were now pretty good friends.

As for the boys, Kai would share a room with Max and Rei and Tyson would share a room with Kenny.

They were in the boys' sort of common room where Tally was playing a classic: 007, Golden Eye for N64 against Max and Tyson. She was kicking their butts. Elisabeth was sitting on the couch, drawing the Bladebreakers. Rei and Remy were watching them play 007 and Amelia was outside. Kai had gone for a walk.

'The first day of the competition is tomorrow. I hope I'm ready.'

What do you guys think? Don't forget : If you review, just give me a number 1, 2 or 3.

Anyways, I know I was hopelessly obvious about the whole bus thing, but I'm getting bored and need something embarrassing for Kai cause its fun. –giggles evilly- well...I hope you guys review. It'd be brilliant if you did. (Please excuse the British expressions. My family from England has been visiting for the past 2 weeks and they're whom I've been communicating with. It's scary...
