Alex had decided to go round and stay at Riley's house that night, the sofa in the living room pulled out into a bed.

It was almost the middle of the night and he was woken as a light flickered on dimly in the kitchen. Blearily he sat up, and saw Riley's outline, so he got up and followed her in.

"It's a bit late for a midnight feast isn't it?" he asked from behind her. Riley jumped and turned away from the fridge and shut it guiltily.

"Hey baby, I was just getting a snack, that's all." She told him. He nodded knowingly and opened the freezer.

"If there is one thing I know about you, is that when you can't sleep there is something bugging you. When there is something bugging you, you need to talk about it, and when you need to talk about it, the best remedy is....ice cream!" He said triumphantly, pulling a big tub of chocolate flavour out. She smiled at him.

The two sat together, each with a spoon over the vast tub.

"Well?" Asked the blonde.

Riley sighed. Perhaps it was ok to tell him; after all he was Johnny's cousin, so he might not pound him into the ground.

"Alright, there is no point in avoiding the question or anything, so I might as well just tell you plainly....I'm pregnant....Johnny's the father." She said quietly, quickly jamming some ice cream into her mouth.

Alex stared at her in shock....whatever he had been expecting it definitely wasn't that. After a second he managed to regain the gift of speech.

"What ?!" He hissed.

"You know what I said, I'm not repeating myself." She said.

"Riley, you have to get an abortion, your way too young to have a kid." He said.

"And does Johnny know?"

She shook her head.

"No, not yet." She said.

"Revs you dumb ass, why didn't you use protection?" He said.

"Well....you know Alex....sometimes you just don't think of it." She said.

He sighed.

"Are you going to keep it?"

She shrugged.

"I don't know yet...Alex...you can't tell Johnny, ok?" She said pleadingly. He sighed and stared at her for a moment.

"Please?" She begged.

"Alright..." he said with an exasperated growl. She smiled and threw her arms around him, hugging him.

"Thanks baby, you've always been there when I need to talk to someone." She said, before turning and going back to bed. Alex sighed and put away the half eaten tub of ice cream and went to try and get some sleep.

Riley slid into bed and tugged on one of the Scott's arms so it was draped around her. She looked at his face, there was a slight scowl there, but then, there always was, and it was kind of cute anyway. She smiled and kissed him before snuggling into the warmth of his body and drifting off into oblivion.

Atlas slowly opened her eyes, but as soon as consciousness came she felt unbelievably queasy, she groaned and got out of bed, waking Kai, and went to throw up in the bathroom. Sitting up, the shirtless Kai wondered what was wrong, so he got up and knocked on the door.

"Hey Map, you 'k?" He asked.

"Yeah....I guess I'm just not used to such rich cooking, I normally eat fast food, it's the first time in ages I've had a proper home cooked meal like the one Mary cooked us last night....I guess my stomach just couldn't handle it." She said.

"Hn, nice." Murmured Kai in distaste, although he waited for her until she emerged.

Together, the two went into the kitchen, where the other three were eating pancakes.

"Hey Tas, you look a bit pale." Riley said to her friend. "Want some food."

The white haired teen shook her head in response.

"So, when does this tournament actually start?" Asked Johnny, "Are we gonna have any time to train?"

"We should do, I mean the first rounds are next week." Riley said.

"Hey Johnny, do you reckon anyone from our old teams will be there?" Asked Kai.

The Scot smirked.

"I hope so, I wouldn't mind seeing those guys again." He said. Kai nodded, he hadn't seen his old team for years, it would be interesting to see how much they had changed.

Atlas sighed, she wondered if there would be any of her old friends at the tournament. She smirked, it probably wouldn't be that long until Riley ran into Amber, she would have to remember to be there to see the fun, a cat fight was inevitable. She turned her attention to what Kai was saying.

"For this tournament, we should probably try and get a technician, we four can make a team, I'll blade with Tas, and you two can go together....but we need someone who can analyse the opponents blades." He said.

"Well, I could do that if you liked." Alex offered. Riley grinned.

"Yeah, Alex has always preferred taking blades apart to actually using them." She said.

Kai shrugged.

"Ok then, well it looks like we have our team, so lets get training."

"Wait." Said Atlas, "We need to elect a team captain."

Both Johnny and Alex shook their heads.

"Nah," Said the Scot, "I don't want the responsibility."

"And I just can't be bothered." Said the blonde.

"Power goes to my head." Riley chuckled.

"Well I guess its Kai then." Atlas said. He slid a glance at her from the corner of his eye.

"You know the last team I was captain of hated me because I made them train so hard, sure you can handle it Map?" He said scathingly.

She scowled and prodded his chest to emphasise her words.

"Believe it, prepare to have circles run around you Scarf Boy!" She snarled.

The four got their things and headed to the park, where, according to Riley, there was a descent sized beydish.

!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:

At the park, Riley and Atlas faced each other over the dish, each ready to release their blades. Atlas smirked; it had been a while since her and her friend had battled, so she was unsure about who would win.

Suddenly someone tapped her on the shoulder, completely throwing her concentration. She spun around.

"What?!" She snapped, glaring at the boy with dark blue hair in a ponytail and a red cap.

"Yeah, how long are you gonna be? We wanted to blade." He said. Something about the way he spoke, seeming so full of himself, just irritated her.

"Look, we're trying to train here, so we're gonna be a while, so get lost!" She snarled, turning back around.

"Train? Hah! Tell you what, battle me, and if I win, me and my pals get to use the dish." He said, gesturing over to three other boys.

Atlas growled and turned back to face him.

"How about no! Now fuck off!" She snapped.

"Tyson?" Another voice interrupted. Atlas was surprised to see it was Kai who spoke. The boy looked up, and his eyes rested on Kai.

"Kai!" he yelled joyfully, running up and clasping his hand and shaking it vigorously. By now, Riley had come around the dish and was standing with Johnny and Alex watching the proceedings.

The Scotsman grinned.

"Hey Tyson, long time no see."

"You know him too?" Asked Atlas.

"Hey guys, come over here!" Yelled Tyson, soon the other three members of the Bladebreakers team had surrounded them; Max Kenny and Ray. Atlas, Riley and Alex stood to the side as Johnny and Kai were greeted. Atlas scowled.

"Can someone tell me what is happening?!" She yelled walked up to Kai, "Who are these guys?"

He smirked. "My old team. Guys, this is Atlas." He said, sliding his arm around her waist. "That's Riley and Alex."

When Tyson tried to shake Atlas' hand, she merely glared at him in a way that said:

'if you think I'm going to touch you then your thicker than you look.'

So old friends were met and new ones were made....sort of, Atlas continually glared at Tyson. Training was abandoned for that day, and, much to Atlas' distaste, Riley invited them back to her house.

As they walked back, Tyson nudged Kai in the side.

"God, I can see why you like her, she's almost exactly like you." He said, "I bet you two got along great when you first met." He said.

Kai watched as Atlas strode along with Riley, and a girl called Hillary who had joined them later, and appeared to be a friend of Tyson's. He smirked, remembering their meeting.

"Nope," He stated, "She was a total bitch, heh, she still is." With that he caught up with her and walked next to her, leaving a confused Tyson.

Suddenly teenager around their age ran over to the group and tackled Riley, and put her in a tight bear hug. He was wearing a green muscle shirt with baggy pants, he had blonde hair spiked up and blue eyes like Tala's. Alex smirked and walked over to the guy.

"Hey Terence ready for the tournament?" Alex asked.

"You bet." He replied letting go of Riley.

"Hey Terry!" Riley said hugging him. "Where's Kit?"

"She's um... good question..." Terence said.

"She's your girlfriend and you don't know where she is?" Riley asked.

"Uh, she's in um... university in um... Montreal!" Terence said.

Riley rolled her eyes. "Oh ya, um you guys this is Terence, Terence that's, the guys."

"Hey." They all said.

Johnny glared at Terence disliking how close he was with Riley. He decided it wasn't a good time to get jealous he would vent about it to Alex later.

Together the eleven teens made their way back to Riley's small house. Atlas growled, as Tyson's loud and annoying voice constantly jabbered on.

"Tonight is going to be a long night." She snarled at Kai

He smirked.

"Not necessarily, I know one way us two can have some fun...and time flies when your having fun." He said, his voice a low growl so only she could hear it.

She smiled, but didn't say a word.
