Chapter 13

MARIAM'S POV

I walked out and sighed, if Spencer couldn't hear I'd kick the runt's ass!

I headed down stairs, I can still torture Ian: sit on him and say I didn't see him, accidentally kick him and say there was a cockroach. They all usually work.

Holy crap...

"So... have a nice time spoiling Spence?" Ah! That little goddamn! Rar!

Tala and Bryan were seated on either side of the imp, both grinning in the same cheshire cat way.

"Yes." I answered haughtily. They should all go drop off a cliff, then again, I think they'd be smiling still. They seem like those kind of people.

"That's good, now are you going to continue acting like that?" Hm, Since when was Bryan that forward?

"Why am I answering your questions?" Ah HA! Try and make a come-back for that!

"Spencer's our teammate and friend and if you're going to end up spoiling him it's our business."

I growled, I'm just going to leave now and since I promised myself I wouldn't kill anyone, I guess I have to find another way to let off a bit of steam.

"Where's the nearest dish?"

"Hm?"

"You know, beyblade, let it rip, dish? Get it?"

Ian grinned, "I'll take you to it." Hehe, I don't believe you offered. I cackled inwardly at all the things I could torture him with.

"I think I'll come too." What?! Bryan! NOOOOO!!! I can't torture him with you there!

"Great..." I said, following them out of the house and around to the backyard.

There was a small tree, but cause of the cold conditions it seemed dead. We headed towards a medium sized shed. It was made from tin, and had a thick layer of snow covering the shiny roof.

"In here." Ian bounced in. I think I better make sure he lays off the sugar. "Welcome to our private training dish!" He waved to the blue dish.

It was right in the middle of the shed. To it's left was a wooden bench, it had a set of drawers sitting next to it, each with a different picture on it: an attack ring, defense ring and so on.

I stood infront of the dish, "So who wants to be my first victim?"

Ian snorted, "Victim? Woman you wouldn't be able to beat any of us."

"What? Don't tell me you're chicken Ian." Bryan smirked as Shortie started fuming.

"I'm no kind of poultry woman!" I'm going to hit him the next time he calls me that. "So get ready to be totally distroyed!"

Hm. I didn't expect such a remark from little Ian. "Bring it on!" I pulled out my launcher and Sharkrash. Let's see what kind of power these boys have.

He did the same, pulling out a purple beyblade.

"3, 2, 1. Let it rip!" They circled the dish, Ian has a strong launch for a little guy.

"Hey what's wrong? Afraid to attack me?" I snorted,

"Yeah right shortie!" They collided head on, sparks flew everywhere. I growled, I didn't expect him to be this good.

"Come on Wyborg! Sand Bind!" A huge purple snake erupted from the beyblade. I had stare in awe.

I snapped out of it fast though, "Sharkrash! Abyss Fire!" A blinding flash of light and five seconds later... I'm still spinning! Barely but... Go Sharkrash! You rule!

"I lost..."

"That you did, but you had me sweating." I don't beleive I just admitted that!

Bryan wandered over to us, "Tala may lose."

Ian gaped, "Now wait a minute! She may have beaten me, but Tala's a lot stronger than me!" So Tala's stronger. I folded my arms, a bit insulted that they thought I had no chance of beating the red-head.

"I'm still here!" I huffed, they stared. I snorted then pivoted, and slammed the door on my way out. I think I may need to train.


Fire: Second last time I ask you to vote... Cause I should have written the chapter by then... -sweatdrop-
