A conversation with Mariah, unexpected visitor.

Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblades even though I would like to.

This is a YAOI (boy and boy relationships) Kai x Ray. Tyson x OC (Maylyn and some others) Max x OC.

"Talking"

'Thinking'

Mariah watched as Ray left her as she listened to the dial tone on the other end of the phone.

"Oh come on pick up the phone," Mariah said as the phone kept on ringing then all of a sudden someone picked up.

"Talk."

"Kai its Mariah. Where are you?!" she demanded.

"Mariah!"

"Yeah it's me Kai remember you were meant to pick me up...or did you totally forget about me?" Mariah asked as she looked around the room that she was standing in.

"Whose phone are you calling on?" Kai asked.

"Why does it matter?" Mariah asked not really knowing the difference.

"It matters to me!"

"It's Ray's if you must know."

"What Kon's?"

"Yeah! He is the only one nice enough around here to help me. I don't know why you don't like him?"

"There is just something about...never mind I be there in a few minutes," Kai said then hung up the phone on the pink haired girl.

"Well goodbye to you to," Mariah said as she picked up her things and went in search of the raven-haired boy.

When Mariah got to the front of the store she saw the boy that she searched for waiting where he said. "Ray!" she called as she came through the glass doors.

Ray looked behind him from the table where he was sitting. "Oh hey Mariah," he said as he got up from the table and walked over to her.

"Here's your phone, by the way," she said handing it to him.

"Did you manage to call someone to pick you up?"

"Yeah I did, their going to be here in a few minutes," she said walking to the table where Ray was sitting moments ago. "Well I guess that you will be off then?"

"I could...unless you want me to wait with you?"

Mariah looked over to him, and then moved over to make some space so Ray could sit next to her.

Once Ray sat down there was an awkward silence neither of them had any idea what to say to one another. They had always gotten along with each other when they were children, as they happened to grow up next door to each other, but all that changed when Mariah's brother Lee got put into jail for armed robbery, and her family moved. They got reunited back when Mariah met up with Ray's little sister in year seven.

"So Kon how's your sister?" Mariah said striking up a conversation.

"She is doing ok I guess, I think she has a thing for Tyson though," he told her with a smile as she began to laugh.

"She has a thing with Tyson?"

Ray nodded.

"Tyson Granger, why would she want something to do with that freak?" Mariah asked as she looked over to Ray. But then saw that he had an unhappy look on his face. "Oh I'm sorry Ray."

"Nahh don't worry Mariah, I know that you and your group have a thing against Tyson and the rest of us, so don't apologies for something that comes common to you," Ray told her.

"But Ray you have gotten me all wrong, I haven't got a problem with you, or the rest of your friends. It's just that Tyson has hurt a lot of girls in the past, and even though I don't live next to you anymore, or hang around your sister, I can still look out for her," Mariah stood up as she noticed that a very distinctive Ute was coming towards them. "You know what Ray, I've missed the time that we used to spend together."

"Yeah, I have to," Ray said with a smile as he to stood up.

As the car pulled up to the curb Ray recognised whose car it was.
