Disclaimer I only own Kiyana and her family. I don't own Beyblade or their characters.

A breeze signaling spring was coming was cool in the park. It was an ordinary park, but today it was a dream come true for a certain birthday girl. The sky was blue and laughing was heard. On the picnic table, there was a girl turning 6 just about to blow out her candles.

The date was February 17, 1995.

'You can only open one present here, Kiyana. The rest we'll open at home,' her mother reminded Kiyana for the fifth time. Kiyana looked up at her mom, who had dark brown hair and sterling green eyes that her brother inherited.

'Okay, Mama,' she answered.

'Open your gift from me, Kiyana!' Sam, her older brother, shouted happily. His mouth widened in cheer and excitement as his younger sister pulled a small box from her pile of presents. 'I'm sure you'll like it!'

Jeremy and Katherine Hunters exchanged looks at each other. They actually didn't know that Sam had gotten Kiyana something. Jeremy looked at his watch. It was 4:30 in the afternoon. There were about to leave in ten minutes.

Kiyana looked around the box, trying to find the tape on the wrapping paper. 'How do you open it?'

'Take off the lid. I couldn't find any wrapping paper or the comics' page, so I didn't wrap it,' Sam said while kneeling on the park bench to see her reaction.

Kiyana opened the small cardboard box and looked at it. She looked at her brother and tackled him to the ground, the two of them squealing and laughing. They rolled around the grass.

Earnest to see what was inside; their parents and some relatives looked at the box and chuckled.

It was a stationary set, with small white mice on the paper, pen, and envelopes. Kiyana had a playmate in the United States and she often wrote to him. Her father knew the mother of the child, so he would send Kiyana's letter with one of his own.

Kiyana wasn't so sure if her friend liked mice, but she knew that her friend liked turtles.

Max Tate sat next to his mother at the dining table and looked at the clock on their oven. The time was 8:45 AM, February 16, 1995.

'We should go call Kiyana, Mom,' the blonde-haired, blue-eyed boy suggested as he put another piece of his pancakes in his mouth.

'I think so too, Max. It should be around 4:30 PM there. Here, come with me. We'll both give Kiyana a phone call,' Judy Tate, who had the same blue eyes and blonde hair like her son, walked from their dining room into their den, where a white cord phone hung from the wall. She wore a purple dress that tightened a little bit at the waist and then skirted out. She smiled warmly at her 5-years-old son and dialed the number.

RING…RING…RING

Jeremy stumbled through the doorway and looked at their kitchen phone. They had just come home and already people were phone calling! I would hate to see our phone bill when Kiyana actually learns how to use the phone, he thought with a grim smile. He staggered over to the phone, his arms full of food. Jeremy held the phone on his shoulder, tilting his head. 'H-Hello? Who is this?' He asked plaintively.

He heard a familiar laugh over the phone. 'Should I call you back?' Judy looked at her son and nodded, silently saying that they were home. Max did the 'thumbs-up' sign.

'We just got home, but I can put the birthday girl on,' Jeremy looked at the kitchen door and found Kiyana, holding her snake (only because Mr. Dickenson attended the birthday party) and her stationary set. He motioned her to come inside.

'Who's on the phone, Daddy?' She asked, cocking her head to the left and letting her hair fall in front of her face.

'Your friend, Max,'

'Yay! Ask his mommy if he's wearing the shirt we got him!' Kiyana was jumping up and down, wearing a huge grin on her face.

'Tell Kiyana that is wearing the shirt. Did you guys get our package yet?' Judy looked at her son. Max wore a pair of army pants and an army print top with a turtle in the middle.

Needless to say, Max would wear that outfit everyday if he could.

'Unfortunately, no. Kiyana's been waiting for-'

'DADDY, MY PACKAGE FROM MAX CAME IN!'

'Scratch that, Judy. It seems it arrived today.'

'Max picked it out.'

Kiyana sat on the tiled kitchen floor and opened up her parcel. She ripped off the brown paper and then asked Mrs. Hunters to open the box with a pair of scissors. Again, Kiyana went through more paper until…

'Wow this is soooooo cool, Max! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!' Kiyana held up a pair of blue and white track pants and a matching blue and white top with a white mouse in the middle. 'I LOVE IT! Can I wear it now, Mommy? Please, please!'

Katherine smiled at Jeremy and nodded. 'Let's go put it on in your room.'

Jeremy smiled again and continued talking to Judy. Before, in college, they were really close friends. Then they went their separate ways. The two spoke frequently on the phone, before Kiyana and Max spoke to each other.

'How's Nick?'

'He's fine, though our marriage has been getting a little rough,' Judy sighed and looked at Max. She and her husband, Nicholas Tate, were currently thinking of filing for divorce. But what about Max, she thought, biting her lower lip.

'Oh, I see. Well, if you ever need any help, you know who to call. That's goes the same for Nick, too,' Jeremy was friends with both of them, so he wanted to a help them equally. He felt a tugging at his tee shirt. He glanced down and chuckled. It was Kiyana.

'Can I talk to Max now?'

'Sure. Could you put Max on the line, Judy?'

'Of course,'

Judy handed Max the phone and the energetic blonde quickly began talking, 'Happy birthday, Kiyana!'

Kiyana laughed and answered, 'Thank you Max! I loved your gift! Maybe when I visit you next year, I'll be able to wear the pajamas you got me last year!'

'Okay! How's Sammy?'

'Sammy's okay. Daddy's teaching him how to beyblade. It'll be my turn next,'

'What's a beyblade?'

'You mean it didn't reach America yet?'

'…No…'

'Sammy says it's a lot of fun! I can teach you when I visit!'

'Okay! What did you do for your birthday?'

'We went to the park. Sammy got me this really neat stationary set! It has mice all over it! It's so cute! What time is it at your house?'

'Breakfast time.'

'Really? What are you guys having for breakfast?'

'Pancakes and my Mommy's having oatmeal and a bagel.'

'That sounds yummy.'

'What did you have for breakfast?'

'I had eggs and rice and soybeans because today is special!'

'I never tasted soybeans before.'

'They're really tasty! I'll give some to you next year!'

'Okay. I'm going to go eat my breakfast now. I'll talk to you later, okay?'

'Okay, Max. Bye!'

'Bye!'

Kiyana looked up at her dad with another smile. She couldn't reach over the counter, so she just handed the phone to her dad and he put it back on the receiver. 'Did you have a nice chat with Max?'

'Oh yes! It was a very nice talk with him.'

'Sometimes, Kiyana, I forget that you're five.'

'I'm six now, Daddy.'

'I'm sorry.'
