This is the third chapta in (dun dun dun) Returning Traveler

Thank you my only reviewer (sexy-jess). I visited Australia once (hokey pokey ice-cream rules!)

Tigeria: Now, Max will do the disclaimer today

Max: Na uh

Max: Why should I?

Tigeria: I have ten pounds of chocolate, and six pounds of raw sugar in my pantry

Max: WHAT, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME! TIGERIA DOESN'T OWN BEYBLADE! NOW GIVE ME SUGAR!

Tigeria: Calm down Max

Max: My precise (very golem-like right now)

Tigeria: On with the story

"No way….Hilary?" None of them could actually believe it. Hilary, the girl they've been searching for this whole time, the girl that they've called in favors from around the world just to get a mention about (creepy) was standing right in front of them like it was no deal.

But sure enough was that same girl Hilary. She sure has changed though. Getting rid of the little cute pink top and white skirt, she is now sporting around punk attire. She had a dark red shirt that had 1 Angel, 99 Devil on the front, and on the back was a picture of a girl with bat wings, a halo, and a forked tail. Her all black skirt was cut eight inches above her knee, with numerous zippers. Hilary was also styling three-inch buckled up boots that went up to the bottom of her calf. Over her shirt, she was wearing an onyx vest with a bat wing and a dove wing on opposite sides, with Falling Angles in the middle. Her hair was flowing down to her mid-back, with a red headband stopping her bangs from getting in her eyes. Around her neck she wore a spiked chocker with matching spiked brackets on her wrists. She wore little mascara, light blue, and lip liner (I don't know how I know so much of make-up).

"You know guys, you can pick your mouths off of the floor anytime now." Daichi was the first to gain back his senses and react. Then with amazing speed, he got off his chair, ran to Hilary, and jumped on her back in only 4 seconds. "HHHILAAARRYYY, where have you been? We've missed you so much, I never thought I'd see you again! I missed you!" he practically screamed in her ear. He was choking the life out of her, so she could hardly answer. "Around Daichi…around" she wheezed out. The others had finally come to their senses, and Max and Kenny repeated what Daichi had just done. With the massive amount of weight, Hill toppled over and fell with the boys still hugging her. Kai, Rei, and Hill all sweatdropped, while Tyson just laughed his head off.

"Uh, guys, your crushing my spleen." They all apologized and got off her. Ty extended a hand to help her get up, she took it, then brushed herself off. "Sorry about that Hill, but we haven't seen you in a while. We just got excited." "No problem Chief," she replied, "just promise not to do it again" Kenny nodded in agreement. "Now, to answer your question, I've been traveling the world. You know, seeing new places, meeting new people and all that jazz." This grabbed their attention. Rei finally spoke. "Wow, and we were worried that you were hurt or something. Why didn't you tell us where you went?"

Even Kai, the silent one nodded in agreement with Rei's question. Why would she leave and not tell us? Was she not happy? "Simple. I didn't want to tell you. I didn't want your help." This statement confused the champions. "What do you mean by that?" asked the two-toned hair colored teen. "In time, you'll find out." 'Man,' Kai thought, 'she's being more cryptic than me.' "Now then. I'm back and that's all that matters. Lets have some fun, this is a party."

2 hours later

The party finally ended. Ty had volunteered to let Hilary stay at his dojo, but she insisted that before the day is done, she will see her mother. How's to blame her though? They haven't seen each other in three years. Her mother would love to see the beautiful 17-year-old girl. When they got outside at the curb, one thing was bothering Kenny. "Hey Hilary?" "Yes Kenny?" "How do you expect to get home? Do you need a ride?" "No thanks. I've already have that taken care of." "How…" He wasn't able to finish his sentence because while he was talking, a blue jeep was swerving and screeching into view.

It was coming right for them! Everyone jumped out of the way as to not get run-over. The jeep stopped right at the curve. After the dust settled, you could see the young man driving it. He was about 18 in age, with dirty blond hair, and emerald eyes. On top of his head he had some goggles (I love goggles! squeal), and a matching pair of gloves. He had on a sleeveless white shirt, with khaki pants full of pockets. He was also wearing beige boots. In the back were three other girls. Two of them were twins with bubblegum hair and hot pink eyes, probably 13. The both had on blue jeans, but one was wearing a blue one-strap, while the other had a purple strapless. Their names were Tohru and Kagura, they are very eccentric, and wild. The last girl had long, raven hair and violet eyes, she was 17. She wore a long, blue-jean skirt accompanied with a white, blank tank top. Her nails were polished to match her eyes, and she wore leather sandals. Her name is Raven, she's very plain and simple.

"Wow. That was totally wicked." said the blonde teen. The girls in the back were writing something on note cards. Tohru (purple shirt) held up the card, it had the number 9. Kagura (blue shirt) also had a card, it had 8.5. Raven held up a card with a 10 on it. Raven spoke up. "Your parking was wicked, but you stirred up plenty of dust. That was perfect." You could hear marks of agreement from the other girls. Grandpa being the most mature person there (yeah right) politely asked the driver a question. "Yo! li'l dude! What the heck's wrong with ya! Ya can't just drive like a madman 'round town and have your posse score for ya." "Sorry old man, but I was just tryin to get here on time. I gotta pick up a friend. Oh there she is! Hey Hill, Hill come on, were gonna be late." The group stared at him like he was crazy. Then the stare was averted to Hilary. She knew this guy! On top of that, he was her ride! She just smiled and shook her head.

"Casey, Casey, Casey sometimes I wonder how you ever got a license." she simply stated before she jumped in shotgun. "Ah, what license?" WWWWHHHHHAAATTT! That made all the boys fall anime style. "So Tyson, etc., I'll see you guys later?" "Of course Hill. Say, you hear about the new tournament coming up? Good, I was wondering if you were gonna come and maybe watch us again. Like the old days." All the kids in the jeep chuckled lightly. The gang was confused as to why. "Tyson, I'll be there. But I'm going to do just more than watch. That's why I came back. We're a team, and we're blading in the tournament. I hope to go against you all. Especially Kai. Later"

Did they just hear her right? She's gonna blade? In the tournament! Well, it's been three years, maybe she's got some skills. It'd be great to go against her. So Hilary, you'd better watch out!

End of chapter 3. In the next chapter, you'll see Hilary beyblade, and what's with this Casey person? He may seem like a stupid, surfer dude (actually, he is), but there is more to him than meets the eye.
