Her Sweet Smile

The blond Egyptian sat alone on the grass outside of the BEGA building, his mind drifting in the clouds. He closed his azure eye beneath his gold and flickering mask. The sunlight streamed down on his elegantly, leaving his blond braid reflecting and resembling gold. His bangs covered his forehead, protecting it from the light. Even though he should have been worried about his lovely girlfriend of getting rid of him, he was relaxed. It took fresh air and the clear turquoise sky to help him clear his mind.

"Forget me not…."

Mystel looked up when he heard that voice, but then smiled when no one was there. A flower was the only thing on the ground to accompany him. It was a beautiful flower, light lavender pedals with a white center. It was so pretty, reminded him strangely of FD. Her eyes always sparkled like the sunlight, and her smile was so nice and sincere to him, like a flower's. He stroked the pedals gently, and then pulled away.

Then Mystel felt something on his hand. Something wet and rough rubbing against his other hand. He turned cautiously, and then saw a small wolf cub licking at his hand. The cub was so cute, its light brown and white fur blending in the sun while its dark silver eyes stared at him lovingly.

"Um…hi," Mystel spoke softly.

"Isn't he so cute?" came a voice. The cub was then picked up by a young girl with brilliant black hair and silver, moon-like eyes. She smiled sweetly as she gently embraced the cub to her ample chest and sat next to Mystel on the grass. "He was only born a couple of days ago, but he grew up so fast."

"Yes, he is," Mystel answered, stroking the cub's ears. "Did you name him, also?"

"No, I haven't. He reminds me of someone, though," FD spoke.

"Who?" Mystel asked.

"I don't know. That's the thing," FD said. Mystel smiled, and then leaned over to kiss her, but she didn't respond to his movements. Something was wrong. Why did she deny him so thoroughly?

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Nothing," she lied. Mystel looked at her, and then sighed. He removed his mask, and looked directly into her eyes.

"FD, I want you to know something," he spoke. He couldn't stop himself.

"What is it?" she asked.

"I…um…I…I love you," he said softly. She smiled at him.

"I love you, too, Mystel," she said sweetly. "You're the only one I've ever felt this way for."

"The same's here," he said. He saw a white feather fall, but not amongst them. Inside the silverness inside the white he was staring into. A white feather falling inside FD's eyes. Why did he see that? Suddenly, he blurted out a question.

"Hey, how come you've been avoiding me recently?" he asked. She looked at him, and then smiled and placed her hand over his.

"I'm sorry, Mystel. I've been so distracted lately because of all the work I've been doing," she said sweetly.

"And Brooklyn? What's the deal between you two?" he asked.

"Brooklyn's become really close to me. He treats me like…like a best friend. A sister, even. I've had several friends, some even were guys, but none of them ever treated me like how he does. He's nice and friendly, but he's nothing compared to you. I love you because you bring a great smile to my face, and you make me feel safe," FD said softly to him. Her eyelids lowered slightly, the silver pools sparkling in the sunlight. Mystel wondered if she was about to kiss him, and his question was answered.

She leaned over and traced his lips with her finger, and then replaced them with hers, but it only lasted a brief moment.

"Ahem!" came a voice. Mystel and FD broke apart, and Mystel's face flowed with red as he looked up to see Garland above them, smiling maliciently.

"Garland! What the hell!" Mystel shouted.

FD smiled softly, and then stood up. "Come on, Sunai," she spoke gently to the wolf. Did she just make that name up? If she did, the cub obviously had a rather large attention span, because it followed her away from there and into the BEGA building. Why did she go in there?


FD walked down the hall towards a rather large room where a bunch of young kids trained and practiced for the tournament coming up. She stopped before the entrance, and just stared ahead. She then looked down at Sunai, and saw he was seated at her ankles, watching the other kids. What a well-trained cub.

"What do you think, Sunai? Should I join them?" she asked. He looked up at her, and barked in a light tone. She smiled. It had been a while since she last battled. The last time she did, it was here, in this building. That was weeks ago, almost a month.

"Fine, I'll do it," she said teasingly to the cub. She reached into her pocket and clenched the midnight Beyblade in her hand. Ra….

She approached one of the stadiums that two kids were battling at, and watched as one kid with brown hair knocked an orange blade out of the stadium by a light green Beyblade. Sunai watched with anticipation, wanting to catch one. She smiled solemnly at this.

"Pretty good, kid," she said softly. The boy looked up at her, and then smiled at her.

"Pretty good? That's it? Come on, even I can beat you, I bet!" he laughed.

"Pretty big ego, kid. How can you say you can beat me if you've never played against me?" she asked. "Would you like to back it up?"

"Sure!" the kid spoke.

"Good. But before we start, you must remember my name." FD walked towards the opposite side of the stadium, gripping her blade in her hand.

"And that is?"

"FD. Forbidden Dystopia."

The boy shuddered by the cold, icy glare FD gave him from the depths of her silver eyes. But he shook it off when he loaded his launcher with his blade and positioned it over the stadium. FD brushed a few strands of hair behind her ear, and smiled.

"3…"

FD gripped the blade in her hand as she drew it out.

"2…"

Her launcher was pulled from her back pocket.

"1…"

With lightning speed, she loaded the ripcord and Beyblade into the launcher and shot it into the stadium as the boy yelled out;

"LET IT RIP!"

"Go, Helios!" the boy yelled at his blade as his light green beyblade chased around the stadium, but then noticed FD's black beyblade was gone. He looked around for it, and then looked up at her.

"Curious?" she asked, her arms crossed over her chest. She then pointed up. He looked up and saw a black beyblade hovering six feet above them. Then it tilted and dived down towards his blade.

"Go, RA! Sunrise of Death!" she yelled. A flame aroused over the blade, and it shot down into the stadium with a great force. The earth below them shook with such violence, the boy was thrown back away from there and landed hard on his back. He felt the earth calm, and then heard the light pattering of fallen pieces of a light green beyblade. He opened his eyes and gasped as he was rain upon by only small remains of his once beyblade. In the stadium, a dark cloud had formed, and then vanished. It the center spun a black beyblade, then it tilted and spun out of the stadium and into FD's hand with such a speed and force it would've left a bruise on someone else's flesh.

She smiled at the boy, and then at the bored Sunai.

"What's my name, Sunai?" she asked.

"FD…the Forbidden Dystopia…" the boy trembled. She closed her eyes and nodded slightly, then turned and walked out of that room.


"Oh…my…God…" Brooklyn spoke, leaning over the railing at the battle. Beside him was Hitoshi, watching with extreme interest.

"Such power and strength, and only in one attack," Hitoshi spoke. "And she's battled here before, but never this strong."

"I know. I've talked with Mystel about the battle at the river. He said he never saw a power like that before, but how surprise will he be when he realizes she's gotten stronger?" Brooklyn said in an uncanny tone. He watched with an interested smile, and then looked up at Hitoshi. "You are impressed by this."

"Of course. I have never seen a power like that…well, besides yours. It's almost natural, but there's something else to it," Hitoshi spoke.

"That's not what I meant," Brooklyn teased. His tongue appeared only briefly between his lips before disappearing into the darkness of his mouth again. Hitoshi looked at him, his sunglasses reflecting off the light shining down on them. He didn't respond to Brooklyn.

"Or is it something else? You like her more than how she used to like you. So…"

Hitoshi still didn't answer. He just looked down into the room below. Brooklyn was right. Hitoshi felt more for FD than anyone he could think of. He didn't know why, though. Was it because she was his best friend in high school? Or was it for her dazzling new looks? She seemed so stressed out lately, and all he wanted was to see her smile.

"Hitoshi, all I can tell you right now is to leave her be. But, when the time is right, the only thing you can do is listen to your heart," Brooklyn spoke softly. He stood up straight and walked away from there. Hitoshi watched him, and then sighed. Brooklyn was right. There was nothing he could do now.
