Woo! Thank you to all who reviewed! I feel so special! Lol. Well, on with the next chapter and I hope you enjoy…

By the way, as you may already know or have guessed…I don't own Beyblade. What a shock!

"This hotel is amazing! Wow! I could just spend my whole time looking around in here! I love Mr. Dickenson!" Hilary bounced up and down on her bed, since of course, she got her own room, and she was already adjusting to her new surroundings. "I could definitely get used to living lie this! Where are your rooms guys?"

After unpacking, the guys all went to Hilary's room to talk about what they were going to do for their vacation. "Well, Kai and I are just across the hall." Ray was sitting backwards on the desk chair that was in her room, while Kai was, as usual, leaning against the wall with his arms folded across his chest.

"Tyson, Kenny and I are down the hall some. I'd say about five or six doors maybe." Hilary sat on the bed next to Max and Kenny and Tyson were sitting on the sofa in her room.

She sighed as the boys started to talk about what they wanted to do on the trip. It wasn't a big surprise when they all started to talk about beyblading. Hilary looked over at Ray and smiled. He was always so kind and caring, it seemed like he would never hurt a fly. Last night on the plane, she just felt so…so warm inside, for lack of better words. When she was with him, she felt so safe and that nothing could ever harm her. Hilary saw Ray look over at her and smile, and she couldn't help but widen her own and quickly look somewhere else. 'Aww man. I hope he didn't catch me staring. That would be sooo embarrassing!'

After about a half hour or so, Hilary was getting a little tired of listening to the conversation. Besides, they were in New York City! They could talk about beyblade all they want at home. "Hey guys! Do you just want to talk about beyblade or do you want to go out and explore Madison Square Gardens?" Since no expenses were spared, the group was staying at a hotel that over looked Madison Square. The guys agreed and slowly got up and went out and started to walk around.

Of course, once they were back outside, they just talked about beyblading while they walked. Hilary sighed. Ray turned around and saw she was all glum so he slowed down his pace until she was right next to him. "Hey Hil…What's wrong? You seem to be a bit on the downside." Hilary looked up from the ground and saw Ray walking with her instead of walking with the other guys.

"Oh…Nothing…I was…ummm…just thinking about the movie we saw on the air plane. I still can't figure out the ending." Hilary looked around and tried to act normal. She wasn't going to tell him that she was actually thinking about what happened with him and her on the plane.

Ray looked at Hilary. He could tell she wasn't telling the whole truth, but he decided not to press the matter at the moment. "Well, I think she jumped off the mountain to fulfill Lo's wish because Jen returned her feeling for him…" Ray caught Hilary's eyes and stared into them. He was lost in her gaze. "…she loved him." Neither one of them noticed that they stopped walking until Max turned around.

"Hey! Come on guys! You can stare at each other later. I don't think you want to get lost in New York City!" Max yelled and waited for them to catch up. He put on his devious smile and whispered into Ray's hear once they caught up and Hilary was talking to Kenny. "She does have pretty eyes, don't you think?"

Ray had this dazed look on his face. "Their beauti-" Ray shook his head and glared at Max. "Oh no you don't. Nice try buddy, but I'm not going to fall for that one!" Ray gave a smirk and walked off to talk to Kai.

Max just shook his head. 'Ray is in denile. I bet they'll get together before we leave to go home.' Max jogged to catch up with the rest of the group.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Their vacation was going great and it was now Christmas Eve. Kai was out walking downtown somewhere and Max, Tyson and Kenny were looking in a local beyblade arena. Hilary just got back from shopping and she heard someone knock on her door. She went up and opened the door and saw Ray standing there with a smile.

"Hey. I found an ice skating rink. Do you want to go?" Ray smiled and held out his hand.

Hilary smiled and took his hand. "I would be glad to sir." She shut the door behind her and locked it. Then they made their way to the subway station so they could go to Central Park, or so Ray said the ice skating rink was.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They got out of the subway station and into the night life of New York City. Ray took Hilary's hand and pulled her into the park. "Come on! I want you to see it!" Ray started to run and Hilary had no choice but to quicken her pace as well.

When they finally reached the rink, Hilary was in awe. "Wow! Ray…it's so…"

"Beautiful." Ray looked at Hilary and gazed into her eyes. Hilary felt the blood creeping up to her cheeks. Ray smiled and grabbed her hand. "Come on. Let's go skating!" He walked forward but was abruptly because Hilary was rooted to the spot. He turned and looked at her. "What's wrong?" Hilary looked up from the ground.

"I can't skate." She was embarrassed, but all that went away when ray took both her hands and held them in his own.

"I can teach you. And you don't need to worry, I won't let you fall." Ray tried pulling her towards the roller skating rink again and she slowly walked along to her first ice skating lesson.

Almost done. The last chapter is going to be a bit short so it won't take me long. I'll update as soon as possible cause I don't like cliff hangers either. Til next time! R&R
