Tyson, Max and Ray sat waiting impatiently for Kenny. The short male had promised to be there soon and with a little surprise for them.

"What's taking Chief so long?" Tyson groaned for the tenth time that second, it seemed.

"Relax" Max muttered, his eyes closed as he pictured the face of the new Beyblade girl from TV. She had been quite pretty,

he had to admit.

"Did you catch the news today, Max?" Ray inquired, interrupting Tyson as he was about to say once again that Kenny was late.

"About the new team? Yeah" the blonde male replied, opening his startlingly blue eyes and smiling "What did you think?"

Ray smiled too "The girl was cute" he said simply, saying the words on Max's mind

"Yeah, she was" he agreed and Tyson smirked

"Guys, who're we talking about" he inquired curiously

"Oh, so now you listen?" Ray laughed lightly "We're talking about that girl off TV from the new beyblade team"

"What was her name again?" Max asked the other two who paused to think for a moment

"Elektra" came the soft voice of Kenny from the doorway to Tyson's room

"Yeah, thats it" Ray grinned "Hey Chief, what took you so long?"

"And where's the surprise?" Tyson cut in rudely. It wasn't like he cared though

"Guys, let me introduced my cousin; Elektra" Kenny chuckled as the flaming-haired girl strode in behind him with a smile playing upon her lips

"Hey" she greeted "Kenny's told me loads about you guys"

"All good, I hope" Max responded with a smile "I'm Max"

"Yeah, I know. You're an awesome Blader" she complimented sincerely, making Max blush conciderably

"You've seen me Blade?" he inquired quietly

"Yeah, I was at every Beyblade contest last year and the year before. I saw you there, you and Dracile" she shrugged

"Impressive" Ray smirked "I'm Ray and the unusually silent one is Tyson" he introduced

"Elektra. Elle for short" she said with a small smile of her own "It's nice to meet you guys before my team kciks your butts next week"

Wow, Tyson thought She'd confident. She must have a good reason for it then

"Oh yeah? You gonna prove that?" he said with a competitive look in his eyes

"Not yet. Can you wait a week to lose?" she smirked "Later Kenny, I'm gone" She said as she turned and walked out and back onto the streets

"Is she good, Kenny?" Max asked

The Chief sighed "She's the best I've seen in a long time"

"Better than Tyson?"

"Far better"
