Chapter 6: Unwanted Surprises

The following morning both teams made it to the airport with fifteen minutes to spare. Even Tyson made it early all thanks to Ray when he spent the night and woke up at six o'clock in the morning.

"Ugh...Ray, you are so going to get it when I'm all rested up," Tyson groggily said to the taller boy with a tired look on his face. The others, except for Kai who looked on with disgust, laughed at his tired, baggy face.

"Well, we should really get ready to get on the plane, "Kenny said after calming down.

"Oh that reminds me...here are our tickets. Mr. Dickinson gave them to us last night before he left. Here you go," Sophie stated giving each person their ticket.

"Hey Sophie, how about we sit together to exchange information and think up strategies," Kenny offered not helping the tinge of blush that ran across his face.

Sophie giggled at that. "Sure, why not."

"I don't care where I sit as long as I get the window," Karen stated getting anxious to leave.

"Me too. I love the window seat," Celia said to Karen and whoever else that was listening. Unfortunately for her, someone else was listening.

"Hmph! Looks like attitude queenie has a soft spot after all under all the cold attitude," Kai replied smirking.

"Hmm...I'm not the only one Kai," Celia remarked crossing her arms, a smirk on her face.

Kai raised an eyebrow at her. "And what's that suppose to mean?"

"You know exactly what I mean," Celia responded mysteriously to the arrogant blader.

"Attention. Flight 281 to London, England is about to depart. All passengers please board the plane now."

"That's our flight. Come on! Let's get going before we miss it," Karen said happily dragging along her fellow teammates.

Getting on the plane, Celia, Karen, Julie, and Sophie all immediately grabbed the window seats leaving the boys deciding who would sit with who. Ray, deciding quickly, took the last window seat available, therefore sitting by himself. Kenny went to go sit next to Sophie who was in front of the rest of the girls. Next Max decided to sit next to Julie, right behind Kenny. Tyson hastily sat next to Karen to try to get to know her more. That left Kai sitting next to the attitude queen. He growled slightly at his teammates but sat down nonetheless.

When the plane had finally taken flight, Kenny and Sophie began chatting about information and possible strategies to use. Kenny introduced Dizzi to her and she was surprised that a bit beast could get trapped in a computer.

"So Kenny, how long have you been collecting data?" Sophie asked with interest.

"Ah...well, I guess most of my life. I practically live to collect data on beyblades," Kenny answered earnestly not helping the slight blush across his cheeks.

"That's nice. I've been collecting data ever since I started to beyblade which hasn't been very long. I thought I was really good, but when I met the others, I was wrong. I saw that there was even more that I needed to improve and update on all my data. I vowed to myself to get as much information as I could about beyblades and bit beasts," Sophie said with a sort of far away look in her eyes. Kenny just smiled at her warmly.

***

"So...uh...you're Julie, right?" Max asked cheerily with nervousness evident in his voice.

"Yeah, that's right. Max, correct?" Julie asked not even looking at him. In reality, she could see him through the reflection of the window. She smiled inwardly at seeing his face light up.

"Yeah! I'm Max. So, are you excited about the tournament? I know I am!" Max excitedly said not as nervous as before.

Finally she turned to face him with a slight smile on her face. "Yeah, I am. I just wanna see what we're up against. I'm not looking forward to Celia's training sessions though," she replied with a soft look on her face. 'What's up with me? Why aren't I pushing him away?'

"That's cool. I'm not looking forward to Kai's sessions either," Max said with a light giggle.

Julie smiled openly. Max, seeing her radiant smile, blushed a bit and smiled too. "Looks like we're not looking forward for a rough practice," Julie said giggling. "Yeah," Max said giggling as well.

***

"So Karen, how have you been?" Tyson asked.

"I'm fine, Tyson. You doing okay?" Karen asked with a bright smile on her face.

Tyson blushed a bit. "I'm okay. How come you didn't tell me that you were a Sacred Star when we first met?" Tyson asked curiously.

"Oh what kind of fun is that letting you know before hand. That wouldn't be fair to the others, now would it?" Karen asked with a smirk-like smile on her face.

"No, I guess not. So how long have you beybladed?" Tyson asked wanting to get to know her more.

"Well..." Karen began telling her tale, while Tyson listened intently.

***

Celia and Kai sat with their arms crossed not looking at each other. Celia was looking out the window, deep in thought. 'Can we really work as a team? Seems like the others are getting along great. This may be difficult because Kai and me aren't exactly getting along. I must admit though, he is cute.' A light tinge of pink came across her face at the thought.

Kai sat there with his eyes closed, also deep in thought. 'Hmm...we're gonna have to pair up people to compete. We have plenty of time for training. Celia and I need to get together and somehow work up a schedule. I doubt that we'll last five minutes together without arguing.' Kai opened his eyes a bit to look at Celia. He raised an eyebrow to see that she had a tinge of blush on her face. 'Wonder what she's thinking about?' Kai thought with a smirk on his face.

"What are you smirking about?"

"Huh?" Kai snapped out of his train of thought.

"I asked you what you were smirking about?" Celia repeated in an agitated voice.

"And how would you know that I was smirking?" Kai asked with a glint of attitude in his voice.

"Uh...hello?! Reflection on the window," Celia snapped back at him while turning to look at him.

"Oh! I didn't think you would take fond of looking at me. I know I'm good looking but you don't have to resort to looking at the reflection to get a glance of me," Kai retaliated back at her not hiding the smirk of superiority from her.

"Ha! I'm surprised that I'm not dead yet at looking at a mere glance of you. I never said you were good looking anyway, conceited jerk," Celia snapped back while half lying through her teeth about the last line, looking straight ahead of her.

"Hmph! You're not a looker yourself seeing as everybody would run away at the mere sight of you," Kai shot back with a smug look on his face.

"I don't have a need to impress anybody. Why should I bother making myself attractive when there isn't anybody worthy enough to impress," Celia simply said , stating one of her life's philosophies. She turned to look at him to see that he had his eyes closed. After a minute of not saying anything, she knew that she won that battle. 'But the war is far from over.' Celia thought with a smile of victory on her face.

***

Ray sat behind everyone else and watched on with an amused look on his face. He saw friendships forming and maybe even more for certain pairs. He looked at the two captains and chuckled slightly. It was gonna take a lot to get those two to get along. 'This is gonna be interesting...'

***********************************************************

"Whoa! Check this place out!" Tyson exclaimed looking at the grand hotel that they were gonna stay in.

"This place is quite the establishment. It's where all the beybladers competing in the tournament are going to stay at," Kenny voiced in his knowledge of the hotel.

"So we get to meet the other bladers? Wicked!" Tyson exclaimed already thinking of the possible competition.

"Let's just go in and find our rooms. I'm kind of tired," Celia replied having an annoyed look. The others nodded in agreement, heading inside. Everyone gasped, for the exception of Kai, at the sight before them. There were people everywhere, either checking in or getting to their rooms. People were mingling with each other, becoming friends and chatting away. The group looked on with fascination at the competition before them.

"Hey guys," Kenny said getting everyone's attention. "Sophie and I are gonna go check-in. We'll be back in a minute." Kenny turned to Sophie who nodded and left to go to the reception desk with him. Celia, Karen, and Julie slightly surprised by this looked at each other and smiled as if knowing what each other were thinking. The boys were just checking out the competition when Tyson suddenly busted out, "Hey! Is that Robert?!"

"Hmm?!" Everyone turned toward the direction that Tyson pointed out to. All they could see over the tops of the crowd was purple hair. As the crowd started to diminish, they began to see the face of the blader. "Hey Robert!!" Tyson yelled across the room while waving his arms frantically in the air.

Robert was waiting for his teammates when suddenly he heard someone shout his name. He turned toward the direction where he heard his name being called. He gave a slight smile at who he saw. "Tyson!" he called. A group of people ran toward the older teen. "And the rest of the Bladebreakers! What a surprise!"

"Hey Robert! Good to see you again!" Tyson exclaimed shaking his hand.

"And a pleasure to see you again. I suppose you're here to compete in the tournament, right?" Robert asked, most likely knowing the answer.

"Of course! And here are our partner team, the Sacred Stars," Ray introduced to the European blader. Robert's eyes widen considerably at hearing that team name and looked behind the boys to indeed see three girls standing there with slightly amused faces.

"Are you guys serious?"

Everyone turned their direction behind Robert. They were surprised to see Johnny, Enrique, and Oliver there waiting for an answer. At that moment, Kenny and Sophie ran up to them with keys to their rooms. They stopped to catch their breath and Kenny looked up first. "Hey! The Majestics are here! What a surprise!"

"Hey Kenny! I was wondering where you went," Oliver replied to the younger boy.

"We were just checking-in. I guess you met the Sacred Stars, so who are you partnered with?" Kenny asked, curiosity getting the best of him.

"We're partnered up with a group called the Mystics. They have some sweet moves but I gotta admit that since you guys are paired up with them, we might have some trouble," Enrique responded in a as-a-matter-of-fact way.

"As much as I like getting compliments, I would like to get some rest please," Celia said in a flat tone, not caring about the bladers before her. Hell, she was tired and wanted to sleep!

"Oh! Uh...sorry about that Celia. I guess we'll see you guys at the banquet tomorrow night, right?" Kenny asked with interest.

"Yeah. We'll be there," Oliver replied cheerily.

"See you guys later," Enrique called out to the group as he and the other members of the Majestics left to go to their rooms.

Kenny and Sophie turned to look at the group. "Um...before we go to the rooms, Mr. Dickinson left us a message," Kenny started before the group.

"And that would be?" Julie asked somewhat coldly. "Uhh..." Kenny started nervously under her stare.

"He wants certain people to room together," Sophie began, saving Kenny from having a nervous breakdown. "He wants Kenny and me to room together so we can discuss about the other teams and try to think of ways to improve your beyblades. He also wants Kai and Celia to room together because as being the captains, you two need to come up with the training schedule and discuss different situations among yourselves," Sophie reasoned. She was very hesitant in saying the reason why Kai and Celia had to room together, knowing what their reaction would be but it had to be said. She awaited the outburst.

Celia just stood there with a shocked expression on her face. She understood why Kenny and Sophie had to room together cause they may work all night on the blades, but Kai and her?! That was uncalled for! They could just perfectly talk to each other during the day. Kai on the other hand was acting the same way as Celia. He was shocked and surprised. 'Why would Mr. Dickinson want these kinds of arrangements?' Kai thought curiously. All in all both team captains had the same response......."WHAT?!"

***********************************************************

"Hmph! I can't believe Mr. D. wanted these kinds of arrangements!" Celia muttered to herself angrily. Both her and Kai were in their room unpacking their belongings. She was thankful that Kai didn't protest against her claiming the bed closest to the balcony. In between their beds was a small night stand with a lamp and a digital clock. Next to the doors that lead to the balcony was a four drawer dresser. Not too far was the door that lead to the bathroom. Near that was a square table with only two chairs. On the right side of Kai's bed was a small closet where Kai was currently occupying. he was hanging some of his clothes in there leaving some room for Celia as well.

When Kai was finished, he turned around to see Celia sitting on her bed waiting ever so patiently to put her things away in the closet. He moved towards his bed where his bag was and made his way to the dresser. Seeing this, Celia picked up her things and went over to the closet. When Kai finished, he went over to his bed and just stood there with his arms crossed looking at Celia's back.

"Let's get something straight, shall we Kai?" Celia asked suddenly with hints of sarcasm in her voice. Kai raised an eyebrow at her in question as she turned around to face him. She looked right into his eyes and saw the questioning glare. "Look," she started, "I'll leave you alone if you leave me alone. We will only have to talk to each other for training and strategizing, is that clear? I only agreed to this partnership for the tournament. Once its over, I'll be one my way again to deal with my business and most likely you'll never see me again."

"Hmph!" Kai responded with a smirk. "I was about to suggest the same thing. For once we will actually agree to something. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to sleep," Kai said in his usual icy voice.

Celia mad her way to bed as well wanting nothing more than to go to sleep. Kai turned off the main lights and slipped into bed with his back turned toward her. Celia slipped into her bed as well and turned off the lamp, hoping to get some decent sleep. She just laid there thinking about all the possibilities the tournament and partnering with the Bladebreakers could bring. She didn't even realize she fell asleep into a peaceful, dreamless sleep. Not so long afterward, Kai fell soundlessly asleep as well.
