Mika: OMG I AM SO SORRY.... SORRY SORRY SORRY...
Johnny: Well you should be, making your poor reviewers wait for so long...OW!
(Tiffany elbowed him)
Johnny: I mean... Don't be, it's not really your fault.
Tiffany: Yah, you were freaking out over 2 performances, and a piano exam... then there was the Math exam, after that the School trip to Quebec...
Johnny: After that, you had graduation, and don't forget that in between all that you were updating your other story.
Tiffany: Then there was a performance, and then trips to Vancouver and Boston.
Johnny: Exactly so if you want to blame someone, don't blame Mika... blame the people that caused her life to be so out of control.
Tiffany: Those people being her mom, and teachers.
Johnny: Wait a minute... what are you doing in front of your computer, your sick... hello mom and screaming remember
Mika: She's not here right now, might as well try
Tiffany: good point, Johnny end it.
Johnny: Well, that's all... hope you enjoy this chapter.
Mika: Oh before I forget, Ragam... coed means boys and girls together. As in the opposite of an all Boys/Girls school, like most schools have boys and girls in them.
Last Time:
"OK then, off we go." Krista said, meaning they should get ready for tomorrow
Miranda woke up to a wonderful looking Sunday morning.
"Hmm, with weather as nice as this... I wonder if the girls are planning to do anything..." Miranda thought out loud. She lay in bed thinking about everything that has happened so far, which isn't a lot.
"It may not be a lot, but the fun makes up for everything." Miranda said voicing her thought.
"What fun?" A voice suddenly asked.
"RAY! Knock before you walk in." Miranda said pulling up her blankets.
"Heh, sorry." Ray said rubbing the back of his neck. "I was wondering if you would like to take a walk with me... but, since you seem busy I'll just..."
"Nonono... I'm not busy; I'll be ready in a little while. Ten minutes tops." Miranda said hurriedly, while jumping out of bed and pushing Ray out of the room.
"Uh... ok?? I guess I'll see you in ten minutes?" Ray said confused.
{Miranda P.O.V}
Yes!! I guess I will be doing something today. I thought to myself as I changed. About ten minutes later, I walked out of my room and into the living room where Ray was sitting quietly reading a magazine.
"You're really prompt." Ray commented, "And looking very... black today."
"Oh, I hope that was a compliment." I said looking at my outfit. I was wearing a black long sleeved t-shirt under a black ankle long coat with a bluish white trim, with a pair of black jeans, and black boots.
"Uh..." Ray said rubbing the back of his neck again.
"Yah, I'll take it as a compliment." I said laughing, "C'mon, grab your coat lets go."
I waited for him to get his coat, and dragged him outside.
"LOOK!!... Hehehe... SNOW!!" I said running outside. Ray walked behind me shaking his head as if I was crazy.
"What?? I like Snow..." I told him sticking out my tongue.
"I kinda figured that." He said shaking his head again. Then, it started snowing.
"OOHH... Pretty snowflakes." I gushed. I ran to the centre of the field, and twirled around. "
{Ray's P.O.V}
Guess it's now or never. I thought. I took a deep breath and walked towards the girl who was currently twirling around in the middle of the field. I slowly walked towards her, getting more and more nervous with each step. I finally reached Miranda, and can we guess what she is doing? She is now standing still and watching the snowfall. Yes not twirling, but watching the snowfall.
"Uh Miranda..." I started.
"Hm?" Miranda asked as she turned around
"Uh..." I tried to say it, I really did... the words just don't want to come out. C'mon, this can't possibly be harder than blading. I cleared my throat and tried again.
{Normal P.O.V}
"Uh..." Ray started again clearing his throat.
"Yes?" Miranda asked.
"Uh..." Ray rubbed the back of his head. He took a deep breath and let out this sentence. "Ireallyreallylikeyoualot."
"What?" Miranda asked with a confused expression.
Ray took in another deep breath and said softly, "I really really like you a lot."
Miranda took a long look at Ray, and let out a deep breath.
"I really really like you too Ray." Miranda told him softly
"Really." Ray said looking up.
Miranda nodded her head. Ray broke into a grin, and gave Miranda a big hug. This caught Miranda by surprise, but she returned the hug anyways.
After about two minutes, a voice broke the silence.
"I'm cold." Miranda complained.
"You are?" Ray smiled. Miranda nodded her head, and the next thing she knew a pair of warm lips was on hers. Unfortunately, the kiss ended as fast as it came.
"Warmer?" Ray asked
"Much warmer." Miranda smiled.
"C'mon lets get back inside, before you freeze. I don't think anyone would like a frozen Miranda." Ray said as he grabbed her hand.
"I agree with you." Miranda said and walked back to the dorm with Ray.
[Mika's room]
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! TALA I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!!!" Mika said screaming.
"What did I do now?' asked a sleepy Tala.
"I told you not to eat on the table, do you ever listen? Look..." Mika said pointing to a stack of papers. "You got KETCHUP on my HISTORY PAPER!!!"
"So?"
"So? SO?!? Why I should kill you for this!!" Mika screamed.
"Uh, I'm sorry?" Tala asked, a little afraid of what a mad Mika could do to him.
"Sorry? SORRY!! YOU BETTER BE SORRY... OR I'LL GRILL YOU, OR BETTER CHOP YOU UP AND FEED YOU TO SHARKS, OR PIRANHAS!!" Mika yelled, he face turning redder and redder by the minute.
{Tala's P.O.V}
I wonder, if she turns any redder, you think her hair would turn red? Tala thought to himself. Suddenly, a voice entered his mind.
/ Who knows, and I don't suggest you trying to find out. /
Wolborg?
/ The one and only. /
What are you doing in my mind?
/ Do you know how boring it is in that blade? /
I see... answer my question though, you think it's possible for her hair to turn red?
/ Highly doubt it, but I'll leave you to ponder about that. / With that, Wolborg left Tala's mind.
{Normal P.O.V}
While Mika screamed until the whole building could hear her, Tala went and sat down on the couch. After about another five minutes of hearing Mika scream, he picked up a magazine and started reading.
"Oh no, you are not tuning me out... YOU GOT THAT!!! YOU IDIOTIC MORON THAT PROBABLY HAS NO BRAIN AND IS DEAF!!!"
"Anyone would be deaf after ten minutes of having you scream at them." Tala replied smoothly.
"Why can't you just cooperate nicely? Then I wouldn't have to kill my throat like this." Mika said burying her head in her hands, and sitting down.
"If I cooperate, then I miss the fun of getting screamed at once a week." Tala replied with a smirk.
"Well, could you cooperate today? Please? It's Miranda's birthday... and I don't want it to be ruined by you." Mika told him.
"I'll think about it." Tala said smirking inwardly
"Please, Please... PLEASE!!!! With cherries on top... "Mika pleaded. Tala turned his head to look at the silver haired girl, and saw her with big puppy dog eyes. "... Please..."
"STOP THE PUPPY DOG EYES!!! I CANT STAND THEM" Tala yelled jumping up. "Fine, I wont ruin the party." Tala grumbled.
"YAH!!" Mika said jumping up and hugging Tala. About five seconds later, Mika realized what she was doing and let go of him.
"Uh... I need to go take a shower..." Mika muttered and ran into her room.
"What just happened?" Tala wondered out loud.
/ You got hugged? / Wolborg said
Your BACK?? Tala wondered sarcastically
/ Yes, is that a problem? / Wolborg asked just as sarcastically.
NO of course not. Tala replied.
/ So, how did you enjoy that hug? / Wolborg asked.
What hug? Tala asked, pretending not to know.
/ Stop acting stupid, you so know what I'm talking about. /
What if I don't want to talk about it?
/ No choice, you either tell me, or I go through you mind. /
I hate it when you drive such a hard bargain...
/ Thank you, I try. /
I'll let you go through my mind.
/ You know, I hate you sometimes. /
Thank you, I try.
/ Ok then. Lets see what you thought of that hug... oooooohhhhh you found it surprising, and you kind of liked it eh? /
Shut up Wolborg.
(Mika's P.O.V)
Ah, what was that? Mika asked as her heart raced.
/ Maybe someone has finally found someone to replace him. /
Hikari?? Is that you?
/ Yes, who else would it be? Santa Claus? /
Hey, no harm in checking right?
/ True./
What did you mean when you said that someone has finally found someone to replace him? Were you referring to me and... Tala?
/ Yes. /
But... it isn't possible, I ... I hate that guy.
/ Oh really? Then why did you pop up and hug him? /
I was happy that he agreed not to ruin Miranda's party.
/ Then why is your heart racing? /
Uh...
/ See, no answer. /
Whatever, it doesn't mean I like him.
/ Remember when you first saw Chris? Your heart was... /
It was racing.
/ But, doesn't it seem that your heart is racing even faster this time Mika? /
What's that supposed to mean?
/ You figure it out...oh, and Santa Claus runs through your mind too?? / With that, Hikari left Mika's mind.
[Anastasia's room]
Hehehehehe, lets see him get out of that. Anastasia thought to herself
Robert had just woken up ten minutes ago, and he had already ordered Anastasia to do his laundry make him breakfast and clean his room. Since we all know Anastasia, we know what her answer was. Since she wasn't going to do it, and Robert wasn't going to do it, they ended up fighting mad at each other. Anastasia decided that if she had to live with this guy for the rest of the year, she would need some humour in her life. What did she do? She put wet soap all over the bathroom floor, and wherever the victim would slide to, there would be water balloons waiting for him. Knowing that Robert needed a shower now, Anastasia decided to be "nice" and give it to him without having to get into a big fight.
"All yours Robert. I have seen the error of fighting with you, and from now on I'll be at your beck and call." Anastasia said, faking the syrupy sweetness in her voice.
"You finally understand." Robert sneered
And you'll understand why you're taking a shower first. Anastasia thought evilly.
As soon as Robert stepped into the bathroom, he slid into the wall, which popped about five balloons, which promptly surprised Robert so he jumped and fell on the floor. Since soap is covering the floor, Robert slipped and fell... ruining his expensive clothing. While all this was happening, Anastasia was standing outside watching Robert make a fool out of himself.
"Ah, revenge is as sweet as people say it is." Anastasia said leaning against the doorframe. At that moment, Robert could have sworn that Anastasia was not the same girl that he had fought with so far in the year. She looked different, kind of angelic, but no... it was something different, something he couldn't describe... just something.
"Revenge? For what? What have I done to you Miss?" Robert said as he tried to get up.
"For putting me through the torture of stuck living with you." Anastasia told him. "Want some help up?"
"You offering help to me?" Robert asked completely surprised.
"Yes, I can't believe I'm doing it either. But, Hilary would be mad at you and me for getting you all dirty like that." Anastasia sighed. She stuck out her hand to help Robert up; instead he grabbed her hand and yanked her on to the ground.
"What was that for?" Anastasia asked through clenched teeth.
"For getting me into this situation, you uncouth female. "Robert replied.
"I WAS going to HELP you, but you decided that I should JOIN you on the FLOOR" Anastasia spat out (Mika: Don't go perverted on me people.)
"Who said I needed help?" Robert asked stupidly as he tried to get up.
"It sure looked that way." Anastasia mumbled.
When did I start caring? Anastasia asked herself.
/ When? That's a good question / a voice answered
?? Bellona?
/Yup! /
What do you mean?
/ Well, you were kind of thinking about being nice to him for a while... did you know that? /
I have?
/ Yes you have. /
How did you know?
/You don't expect me to do nothing all day do you? /
Uh...
/ Don't answer that. /
Ok. But that doesn't answer how you know what I was thinking.
/ Hey, I get a kick in digging in your sub consciousness. /
Maybe you should stop...
/ Fine, have it your way. / With that Bellona left Anastasia's mind.
(Thought about ending the chapter here... but... nah....)
[Miranda and Ray's room]
Thanks to Ray... the people putting the party together could get into their dorm.
"Lets see... Tyson, Max, Enrique... you can start the decorations in that corner... Oliver, Johnny... you can go over there and warm up the food and whatever you're supposed to do... and whatever we are supposed to do... DO IT!!" Carmen told all her friends.
With those words, everyone but Kai, Robert, Tala, Mika, Renee, and Krista went straight to work.
"Renee, lets go get our presents for Mira." Krista told her sister
"Ok." Renee said following her sister. With that the twins left to get their presents. Suddenly, Mika remembered something.
"Oh shoot... "Mika said softly and ran off. Somehow, Tala was able to hear what Mika said, and silently followed her. Mika ran towards Mariah and Lee's room, but she bumped into something.
Ow... Mika thought as she took a look at what she just ran into. Of all the things she could run into, why did it have to be.......... LEE? (Bet you thought it would be Tala).
"Are you ok?" Lee asked
"Yah, sorry for bumping into you though." Mika told him
"It's ok." He answered, " About that beybattle we had last time... How did you do that? I mean, how did you beat me so quickly?"
"Well..." Mika said hesitantly. Just then another voice entered the air.
"Mika, what are you doing here?"
"Tala?" Mika asked softly What is HE doing here? , "Uh, talking to Lee..." She answered weakly
Tala walked towards the pair. For some reason, he didn't like Lee... and it wasn't for the obvious reasons... he didn't even know why he was feeling that way.
"And, what are YOU doing here?" Lee asked pointedly
"Looking for Mika." Tala told him.
"Looking for me?" Mika asked, but no one heard her due to the fact that the two boys were virtually screaming at each other. Since Tala was there, and Lee was distracted, Mika snuck into his dorm and looked for their secret camera. She searched the rooms, and found nothing.
"AAHH!!!! Where is it??" Mika said angrily, "That's it." She pulled out her cell phone, and called Carmen.
"CAR!! Where did you put the camera?"
"Camera? What camera?"
"THE CAMERA. The camera in a certain person's dorm, the CAMERA you planted YESTERDAY!!"
"Ohhh, that camera. Actually those cameras."
"Yes yes, whatever. Now where did you put it?"
"Uh, one is near the T.V, one is in the cotton candy's room, and another one is in the Kitchen."
"Ok... I am so happy that I have a big bag with me, or else how am I supposed to get it?"
"Uh, sorry?"
"You better be. See you."
"Bye"
Mika put away her cell phone and scanned the room.
Guess I'll start with the T.V
Mika looked at every inch that was near the T.V, and couldn't even see the smallest trace of a camera anywhere. Then suddenly, something shiny caught her eye.
"There you are." Mika whispered.
The camera was nestled in a plant right on top of the T.V. After she got the camera, she headed for Mariah's room.
Wow, so... pink Mika thought as she stepped into Mariah's room. Everything was, well, pink. Her bed was fluffy and pink, with stuffed animals (cats) on it. Somehow the white wall was covered in pink.
"I think I'm going to be sick." Mika said grimly. Mika took another step into the pink nightmare, and immediately saw the camera.
"Smart Carmen, very smart." Mika said smirking. The camera was pink, but it was different from the pink in the room, so when you hide it you could still find it, and not notice unless you were looking for it.
"Now, where is that last camera?" Mika asked herself as she walked out of the horror that is Mariah's room.
[Tala and Lee]
"Is it really any of you business where Mika goes? Is she your sister or something?" Lee asked Tala
"No." Tala replied with clenched teeth
'Then why are you so uptight about her?"
"Anyone would, if they found out she was talking to you."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"You figure it out."
With that Lee started screaming insults at the Red head again.
[Mika]
I wonder where Mariah is... Mika thought as she left the dorm.
She sneaked by the screaming boys, and slowly made her way back to Miranda and Ray's room. Halfway there, she saw Miranda and Ray outside walking.
'They look so cute together." Mika sighed.
"You look cute too." A voice behind her said. This of course freaked Mika out, so she turned around, but saw no one "Even cuter, if you were with me."
"Who, who... who are you?" Mika asked, stuttering.
"You know who I am, don't worry about it." The voice said. The owner of the voice stepped out from behind an open dorm door.
"What the..." Mika said slightly afraid, then she recomposed herself, "Why are you talking to me? Don't you have your Carol? "
"Carol can't possibly compare to you, now can she?" Chris asked edging closer to Mika.
"Oh really?" Mika said turning around.
"Of course." Chris said walking closer.
"Then, why do you have Carol?" Mika asked turning around suddenly.
"You mean, why DID I have Carol, easy. I wanted to try something new." Chris said edging closer to Mika, "and guess what I found out."
"What?" Mika whispered, terrified of the distance.
"New things are not always better than the old." Chris told her, with a hint of something in his voice (use your imagination). He was about to close the distance between them, but then a voice was heard coming from down the hallway. With that distraction, Mika quickly slipped away, and headed for Lee's dorm (hey, terrified... don't know where she is going).
This isn't happening, that didn't just happen. This isn't happening, that didn't jut happen, IT DIDN'T!! Mika screamed in her mind. With her being preoccupied, she didn't notice that she had once again bumped into someone.
"Hey watch where you're going." The voice told her.
"Sorry..."Mika said looking up, and seeing a smirking Tala. "Tala?"
"Got you to say sorry to me." Tala said smirking
Mika looked at him puzzled, but she had too big of a problem to even think about what Tala just said to her. Tala on the other hand was very much surprised, even though he didn't show it, at the fact that Mika didn't argue with him.
[Carmen and the gang]
"Why is Enrique wrapped in streamers?" Carmen asked calmly
"Uh, he fell?" Tyson said.
"Yah, he fell and got all tangled." Max added nervously.
"Mmmph mmph." Enrique tried to say
"Ok, unwrap Enrique and we'll talk." Carmen said tiredly
Tyson and Max unwrapped Enrique, while Enrique glared at them.
"How's the food coming?" Carmen asked Oliver.
"Ok. Everything is going as planned." Oliver replied.
"As long as the bottomless pit doesn't come over again." Johnny mumbled
"He's coming for food still?" Carmen asked tensely
"Yes he is." Johnny replied, "And he decided to wrap Enrique up in streamers for fun."
"FoR FUN!!" Carmen half yelled
"Yup, and he's basically been bugging everyone." Johnny said pulling something out of the fridge.
"He is wasting precious time." Carmen said with gritted teeth.
Just so happens that Tyson was just off bothering Tiffany, Jade and Hilary.
"Go Away." Jade told him
"Don't you have something to do?" Hilary asked him
"No." Tyson said grinning
"I thought you did, didn't Carmen tell you to go and unwrap Enrique?" Tiffany asked irritated
"Nah, Max can do that." Tyson answered.
"Then what are you doing here?" Tiffany asked patiently.
"Don't know, felt like it." Tyson answered here.
"But, do you know what I feel like doing right now?" Hilary asked, looking at Jade. Jade looked at her best friend and ran towards the kitchen.
"NO, I don't. What do you feel like doing?" Tyson asked. Jade quietly walked behind Hilary, handing her a mysterious object.
"THIS!" Hilary yelled and whacked Tyson in the head with a frying pan. As soon as the frying pan came in contact with Tyson's head, he fainted.
"There we go." Tiffany said smirking.
"Peace and quiet." Jade sighed
"Don't you just love the silence?" Hilary asked putting down the frying pan.
"Thanks girls, now Tyson can finally do something people want him to do. Shutting up." Carmen said laughing.
The girls all laughed, and got many stares from the rest of their friends. Soon, the entire group of friends, minus the unconscious Tyson, were laughing and having fun. Suddenly, someone's phone began ringing.
"It's mine." Anastasia spoke up, "hello?"
"Ana?"
"Yes."
"It's me, Mika."
"Yah, what?"
"Well, just so you know. Ray is taking Miranda back to the dorm, Tala and I are going to go and distract her as long as possible. Which isn't too long, we all know Miranda, she's not very patient."
"Ok, about how long can you stall?"
"Uh... how long? Wait" muffle muffle muffle "15 – 20 minutes tops"
"Ok then, as soon as you get to the hallway, call, remember."
"Ok then. See you later."
"Bye." With that Anastasia cut the line off. "That was Mika, she can give us from 15-20 minutes before she gets here with the birthday girl."
"Ok... uh." Carmen said thinking, "what hasn't been done yet. Lets see... "
"Car, basically everything is done, we just need to finish hanging up this little bit of streamers." Anastasia told her worried friend.
"Yah, Car... chill. We'll get it finished." Hilary added.
"OK then, hang the streamers. The rest of you, man or woman your stations (sorry, couldn't help but add that line... hehehe.), ok??" Carmen told the gang.
"Carmen would you reLAX??" Anastasia told her.
"Ok ok I give up. "Carmen told her friend, smiling.
"Good girl." Anastasia said laughing.
[Mika and Tala]
"Why am I being dragged down these stairs?" Tala asked Mika, as she literally flew down the stairs with him.
"Because, we need to go see how long we can stall Miranda and Ray." Mika answered hurriedly.
"So, I need to come to because?" Tala asked
"You were near me, what can I do? Leave you there and let you ruin everything?" Mika told him.
As Mika and Tala hurried down the last flight of stairs, Mika just so happens to fall and twist her ankle. She sat on the floor, holding onto her left ankle in pain. While, Tala continued out the door, then realized that he person making him run wasn't there.
"What are you doing on the floor?" Tala asked, finally realizing that Mika had fallen down.
"For your information, I twisted my ankle. Or are you really that stupid?" Mika asked him, venom sarcasm, dripping with ever word.
Mika: I know... why am I not finishing it yet?
Johnny: It's because you are an idiot that has no inspiration what so ever.
Tiffany: Shut up.
Mika: I know its sucks, but please read and review
