Title: What Was Once Lost Is Now Found

By: Moonlit Sea

Summary: Tyson's Grandpa asks him to go and pick up someone from the airport, but he won't tell Tyson who it is. Who is this mystery person? And what secret is Grandpa keeping from Tyson? (I know it's a crappy summary but the story is a lot better.)

Disclaimer: Don't own Beyblade or any of its characters (except Tiffany). I also don't own Harvester.

A/N: a lot of you a figuring at Tiffany's 'secret' way faster than I expected so I better speed it up before the rest of you guess and get fed up with the story -looks worried-

FireieGurl: uh… why did I have her tell Tyson that she knew him? Um… because it fit in with the scene and it would've been an extremely short chapter otherwise? -hopes Fireie will accept her answer-

Enchanted Crimson Rose: you must really wanna know, huh? Okay here's who I plan to match up Max/Tiffany, at the moment but if there will any others I'll let ya know. -starts to ponder Imigo's idea about putting a little yaoi in the story-

Puppalupp2008: it wasn't stupid? Really? Cool -smiles- I guess in a way you're right it was a meaningful chapter.

Svart Mirai: does she have a bit-beast? Hmmm -thinks- guess we'll have wait and see won't we. -chuckles-

Thanks also to O.o-GoDsMaCk-o.O, Zoutou Ivanov, angel V & Munku-JGSPTV.

And now Ladies and gentlemen, (do I have to keep saying 'gentlemen'? hmmm after all men are anything but gentle lol) I give you chapter three of What Was Once Lost Is Now Found.

/-Thoughts-/

Chapter 3 - Tonight's The Night… Or Is It?

At six o'clock the doorbell rang and both Ray and Max darted for the door with Max reaching it half a second before Ray did. He smiled and gave a small chuckle as if to say 'I win!' Ray gave a small growl before returning to the others.
After catching his breath and calming himself down a little Max opened the door and was amazed at what he saw.
Tiffany was wearing a purpley pink spaghetti top with a navy blue wavy skirt that went just past her knees and black strappy sandals. (A/N: soz if it's a crappy description, they aren't my strong points -looks sad-.) Her long hair was down and blowing in the breeze.

She smiled.
"You stare at me much longer Max, and you'll start to burn holes through me." She joked.

Max shook his head coming out of his shock.
"Heh, sorry." He says blushing a little.

"So… you all ready?"

Max nods but doesn't move or make any attempt at calling the others.

"Then… don't you think you should go get the others?"

"Huh? Oh yea… be right back." mentally kicking himself for his actions. /-Stupid! Stupid!-/

Tiffany chuckles as she watches Max go off and get the others. /-He's kinda cute… when he's confused.-/ she then sighed tonight was going to be night that she was going to tell Tyson who she really was. Well that was the plan anyway but she didn't know if she could go though with it or not.

A few minutes later she saw all the guys coming towards her all looking as shocked as Max had. Although she could've laughed at Ray's expression for it looked like his eyes were about to pop out.

"Tiffany, you look…" Kenny began.

"Different." Tyson finished.

"Thanks… I think." Wondering if that was a compliment or not. "Shall we go?"

They all nodded and set off.

"So where are we going?" Kai asked wondering why Tiffany was all dressed up.

"Just to this little restaurant I know." She answered.

Her answer surprised everyone, she'd been in town barely a day and she already knew her way around? Talk about strange.

There was kind of an eerie silence on the way to the restaurant. Tiffany was trying to convince herself to go ahead with her plan, Max was silently cursing himself for his earlier actions, Kai was still trying to decide whether he should tell Tyson about what he saw between Tiffany and his (A/N: Tyson's) grandpa, Kenny was just following them along actually enjoying the silence, Ray was thinking how beautiful Tiffany was and whether she had a boyfriend or not and Tyson was thinking that even though Tiffany had answered his question of how she knew him, he just couldn't shake the feeling that she was lying. He was also worried about Max and Ray fearing they might start to fight over her.

When they reached the restaurant they all walked in and were amazed at the décor.
The place was decorated in the style of an old time barn; it even had horseshoes and things hanging on the walls. To the left of the door was a small bar area for people who didn't want a big meal and to the right was the restaurant. (A/N: again sorry for the crappy description, but it's kinda difficult to describe Harvester at least it is in my case --)

"You guys coming or not?" Tiffany says turning to them as a lady lead the way to a table.

They all sat down with Max sitting next to Tiffany (much to Ray's annoyance) who was sat next to Kai. Ray sat opposite Max (throwing him a few glares now and then), Tyson sat next to Ray and Kenny next to Tyson. As the lady handed out the menus she told them that someone would be along soon to take their order and walked off.
A few minutes later a waitress came to take their order, it took a while though as Tyson couldn't decide what to have. Then Kenny pointed out that the waitress had other people to serve, and Tyson hastily made a decision.
The waitress gave a nod then after collecting up the menus and repeating the orders to make sure she got them right she walked off.

"Tiffany, why didn't you tell us you could blade?" Ray asks.

She looked him her surprise evident in her face.

"Tyson told us." Kenny explained.

Tiffany now looked at Tyson.

"What? It's not as if it's a big deal or anything." He says to the look she was giving him.

"I have my reasons." She says in a low harsh voice, answering Ray's question.

"Mind telling us what they are." Kai said.

"Yes."

"You're probably not a very good blader, that's the reason you don't want people to know." Tyson remarked.

"Tyson, that isn't very nice." Max said.

"Can I help it if it's the truth." He says matter-of-factly.

"Okay Tyson, what do you say to a little match?" Tiffany asks trying to keep her anger from erupting. No one called her a bad blader a got away with it.

"You're on, tomorrow at our place, two o'clock." Tyson instructs.

Tiffany nods and chuckles quietly to herself. /-Prepare to lose dear Tyson.-/

Soon after the food was served and everyone ate in silence not wanting to aggravate the situation even more.

/-Who the hell does she think she is?-/ Tyson thought grumpily /-I'll show her! Tomorrow Dragoon and I are gonna wipe the floor with her and pathetic blade.-/

/-You may think I'm a weak blader Tyson, but trust me you haven't anything yet. Prepare to be beaten as you and Dragoon are going down!-/ Tiffany thought.

The rest of the meal went along quite quickly and pretty soon they were all on their way back home.

"You know you didn't have to pay for all of us, Tiffany." Ray said.

"Hey, I said I'd take you guys out to dinner and I did."

"But Ray has a point though you should've at least let us give you our share of the bill." Max continues.

Tiffany shakes her head.
"If I did that then I wouldn't have really taken you guys out." She reasons smiling.

They were soon back at the guys place.

"Well I'll see you guys tomorrow." She waved as she walked off back to the dojo.
/-Okay so my plan to tell Tyson at dinner was a no go but I believe that an even better opportunity as shown it's self-/

The next morning Tiffany woke up early, she wanted to get in a little practice before her match with Tyson that afternoon. She stood in the garden watching as her blade as it went through the slalom course she fixed up.

"I see your practicing your moves, little miss." Grandpa said coming up from behind her.

Even though Tiffany had her back turn to him she knew he was there, so it hadn't broken her concentration when he spoke. She nodded and her blade returned to her hand.
"I have a match against Tyson later." She informs turning to him a mischievous glint in her eyes.

"So I take ya told him then."

"Not exactly, but he will know by the end of the day." She said looking down at her blade then back up at grandpa with a devilish smile.

"I wouldn't count little dude out so easily, he's got some serious moves." Grandpa reasons.

Tiffany chuckles as she turns back round and places her blade back on her launcher.
"So do I." She states matter-of-factly.

She launches her blade and it rips through all wooden blocks like they were toothpicks. Grandpa looks surprised as the blade returns to Tiffany, she turns to him a smirk upon her face. He just smiles and walks back in.

At had just turned one fifty at the Bladebreaker place and Tyson was out in the garden training with Kai.

"I haven't seen Tyson train this much since the last world championships." Kenny speculates.

"Yea, he must really wanna show Tiffany up." Ray agrees.

"Either that or he just doesn't want to be beaten by a girl." Max adds jokingly.

Ray and Kenny chuckle at the thought of Tyson losing to a girl.

"I love to see his face at that." Kenny says.

"At what?" Tyson asks as he and Kai walk back to them.

"You losing to a girl." Ray responds.

Kai chuckles.

"Yea well, that's not going to happen." Increasing his grip on Dragoon.

"Have actually seen Tiffany blade?" Kenny asks curious.

Tyson shakes his head.
"By the time I got there she was just finishing, whatever she was doing."

"Then it's quite possible that she could win." Kai states.

"No way."

"Tyson, she's probably been training as much as you have, so I wouldn't put anything pass her."

"That may be Kai, but I'm still gonna pulverise her."

"Who's gonna pulverise who?" a voice says sarcastically.

Everyone turns and sees Tiffany with Max standing beside her.

"So you ready to beaten Tyson?" she asks smugly.

"The only one who's gonna beat is you, Tiffany." Tyson retaliates.

"Oh you think so huh? We'll see."

They both made their way to the dish, putting their blades on their launchers.

"3…2…1…let it rip!" they both shout releasing their blades.

=============================

Okay sorry if chapter is a little crap and if I rushed the restaurant scene a little, I couldn't think how to do it. Oh and for all of that want to know Tiffany's 'secret' will be revealed next chap. (that is if you all don't figure it out before hand -prays no one does-)
