And now dear readers I give you chapter seven of What Was Once Lost Is Now Found.
/-Thoughts-/
Chapter 7 - America Calls.
"Hey Tyson, you okay?" Kenny asks.
"Yeah, you've been… acting strange ever since you came back." Max adds.
"I'm fine." Continuing to pack his bags. "Don't you guys have some packing to do." Implying that he wanted them to leave.
"We did all that while you were out." Kenny informs.
While Tyson had gone to look for Tiffany, Kenny had rang Mr. Dickenson to see if he could get them on the next available flight to the USA. He said he would try, he then called back ten minutes later and told them the flight details. The flight was leaving at five that day and everyone was in a rush to pack.
"So… is Tiffany coming?" Max asks.
Tyson turned and looked at him, he was still confused by what Tiffany had said to him earlier but not only that, he was also annoyed that she wouldn't explain herself and worried about this 'trouble' she said got herself into.
"I don't know, why don't you go and ask her." He replied a little more sarcastically than he intended.
"Did you two have a fight or something?" Kenny queries.
Tyson just went back to his packing, which unknowingly gave the two boys their answer.
"Perhaps we should leave you to pack." Max suddenly says pulling Kenny along with him as he heads for the door.
After hearing the door close Tyson stopped what he was doing and sighed. /-What's up with you Sis?-/ he wonders looking towards the window before continuing.

"Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't you just return from America?" grandpa said a tad confused.
"Not exactly, Grandpa." Tiffany answers.
"And exactly what do ya mean by that little miss." He asked curiously.
Tiffany sighed.
"Before I contacted you I decided to spent a year touring Europe." She waited for a response but one never came so she continued. "That's where I came from not the US."
"I see. And Davis knows but this."
Tiffany stopped what she was doing and hesitated for a minute before giving a nod in response. /-If told him the truth I don't think he would let me go, and Tyson needs me there-/ she thought.
"So you're off to help little dude huh." Changing the subject. "Reminds me of the old days before you left." Going off into his own little world as if reliving the memories.
Tiffany gave a small smile. /-Yeah, they were good days…-/ her smile suddenly turned into a frown /-but if knew back then what I do now I never would've of gone.-/
She shook her head to get her 'back on track' to what she was doing.
"Well I better get going, the flight leaves at five and I've still got to go back to Tyson's before we all head to the airport." Picking up her backpack.
"You take care of both yourself and little dude ya hear." Coming out his trance like state at the word 'leaves'.
Tiffany nodded and headed back towards Tyson's.

Back at the Bladebreakers place the guys had received an unexpected visitor.
"Mr. Dickenson!" Ray says partly shocked as he opened the door.
"Hello Ray, may I come in?" he asks.
"Uh… yeah sure." Moving out the away, then after closing the door he led him to where most of the others were. "Uh… guys we have a visitor."
"Who is it Ray?" Kai asks.
"Hello boys." Mr. Dickenson greets as he walks in the room.
"Mr. Dickenson!" Kenny says surprised. "What are you doing here?"
"I just thought I'd come to wish you all good luck."
"Thanks." Max smiles.
"Where's Tyson?" noticing the midnight haired teen was nowhere to be seen.
"He's uh… still packing." Max said trying to think of something.
"You don't usually come here unless something's up." Kai suddenly states.
Mr. Dickenson gave a small chuckle.
"Right as usual Kai."
"So what's up?" Ray asks curious.
"Don't tell me they've cancelled the flight." Kenny moaned.
"No, nothing that bad Kenny. I just thought you'd like to know a little more about the tournament you're about to attend."
"It's a Beyblade tournament, what else is there to know." Tyson's voice suddenly said from the doorway.
"That's it champions have never been defeated. Not even the All Starz have been able to defeat them." He explained.
"What?" Max said in amazed
"You mean that even with all their technology they were beaten?" Kenny said not believing what he was hearing.
Mr. Dickenson nodded.
"So who are these champions?" Kai asked curiously.
"They call themselves the Mythicals, and they've never been beaten."
"Well there a first time for everything." Tyson says with a smile.
"Uh…guys, we better get going if we don't wanna miss the flight." Ray instructs looking at the time.
"Let's go." Kai said making his way to the door.
"Tyson, your sister coming?" Ray asks as they all head towards the front door.
"What is with this fascination with my sister?" he asked a little annoyed.
"Sorry just thought I'd ask."
Max couldn't help but chuckle at Tyson's comment to Ray when he mentioned Tiffany. This caught Ray's attention and annoyed him a little.
"Something funny Max?"
"Nope." Max says with a smile as he walked out the door.
"How about I give you boys a ride to the airport." Mr. Dickenson offered.
"Hey that would be great, thanks Mr. Dickenson." Kenny said.
As they all got into his car Tyson took one last look around hoping to see Tiffany but with no luck. /-Guess you changed your mind huh Sis.-/ he thought before getting into the car.

Unknown the others Tiffany was already at the airport, she wanted to get a few things sorted out before the others got there. Although she felt a little guilty for lying to grandpa about having to go over to Tyson's before leaving, she didn't think he'd understand if she told him the truth. She had already checked in and waited in a café for the others to show up, while she waited she phoned a 'friend' who lived over in America.
"So you got that, Jon? Our flight leaves at five so we'll probably be there around nine. (A/N: I don't actually know how long it takes to get to the USA (been a while since I last went) so I'm just guessing.)" She repeated.
"Yes Miss, I understand. I'm to pick you up from the airport and take back to the house. It will be good to see you again Miss Tiffany." Jon replied.
"Heh, yeah." She said a little nervously, if she had her way she wouldn't be returning at all. "Just make sure all the guest rooms are ready okay." She said a little sternly.
"Yes Miss, everything will be ready upon your arrival. If you don't mind me asking how many will be accompanying you?"
"Uh…" counting the number in her head /-lets see there's Max, Ray, Kenny, Kai and my brother so that makes…five.-/ "Five."
"Very well Miss. I shall see you at nine." Jon says.
"Yup, see then Jon." She hung up and placed her mobile back in her pocket.
Just then she saw the others checking their bags in, after finishing her drink she went over to join them.
Quietly she sneaked up behind Tyson winking at Max -who saw her coming- as if to say 'don't tell him' Max gave a little nod and when Tiffany was right behind Tyson…
"Hey Tyson." She said loudly making him nearly jump five foot in the air.
Max and Tiffany laughed when they saw Tyson's reaction. Tyson just growled at her, which made her laugh even more.
"What's going on?" Ray asked hearing Tyson's growl.
He turned to Max and was surprised to see Tiffany standing next to him laughing her head off, Max was laughing too but not as much as Tiffany.
"L-let's just say… t-that I gave m-my b-brother a-a little w-wake up c-call." Tiffany answers through her laughter.
It took Ray a couple of minutes to figure out what exactly Tiffany had just said and even when he did it still didn't make much sense to him.
"In other words, she just scared to crap outta me." Tyson says seeing Ray's confused look.
"Oh." Chuckling a little.
"How long have you been here?" Kai said more demanding than questioning.
"About half an hour." She answered when her laughter had subsided. "I had some things to do."
"Like what?"
"Like none of business." She replied annoyed.
"Come on guys, let's not start arguing huh." Kenny says trying to calm everyone down.
"The Chief's right, let's just get on the plane before it takes off with us."
"Fine." Tiffany said walking off.
"Whatever." Kai said folding his arms.
Kenny sighed.
"This is going to a long trip." Shaking his head slightly.
"You're telling me." Tyson said agreeing with him.
They all got on the plane and found that their all seats were window seats.
"Tiffany, do you mind if I sit with you?" Max asks a slight blush appearing on his cheeks.
"Sure Max." she says cheerily.
Much to Ray's dismay, he did a low growl before sitting next to Kenny, leaving Tyson to sit with Kai. The plane ride over was mainly uneventful. During the last half hour Tiffany had fallen asleep (unknowingly on Max's shoulder (A/N: cutie! Soz)), Tyson chuckled at the colour of Max's face.
"You know right now you could pass for a beetroot Max." Tyson teased.
"Shut up Tyson."
Luckily for Max, Ray had also fallen asleep or there would have been another shouting match between the both of them.
The plane landed twenty minutes later and after collecting their bags now waited in the arrivals area.
"Hey Chief, did Mr. D say where we were staying?" Tyson asked.
"Don't worry about the accommodation Tyson. I've got that all worked out." Tiffany said plainly as she searched the arrivals hall for someone. "Come on, where are you?" she says quietly to herself.
"What do mean you've got it all worked out?" Ray asks.
At that moment Tiffany spots the person she was looking for.
"You guys stay here, I'll be right back." Not hearing Ray's question and walking off.
"If she's lived here for most of her life then it's reasonable to assume that she knows a few people." Kenny theorises.
They all see her approach a man who looked to be in his thirties. He had dark brown hair and was dressed very smartly.
"Isn't he a little over dressed to come to a airport." Max says.
"Yea I'll say." Tyson agrees.
Tiffany walks back a few minutes later.
"Everything's all set." She states, "Let's go."
"Where exactly are we going?" Kai asks.
"Home of course." She smiles and walks back in the direction of the man giving him a small nod as she approaches.
"Anyone else feel weird about this?" Tyson asks.
"Yep." Ray answers.
They follow Tiffany and the man (who she still hadn't introduced) out of the airport and to an awaiting limousine. To which Tiffany sighed at and the others just stared at it in amazement.
"Jon, you didn't have to bring the limo you know." She said a little disappointed.
"I am sorry to disappoint you Miss, but I thought it would be the best option for you and your guests." He replied.
"Very well." She responded and headed over to it.
She was just about to get in when she saw the others were still standing there staring.
"Are you guys coming or do you wanna stay here?" she asked a little sarcastically.
