Hello again, readers!!

Seeing as I'm such a nice person, I've decided to update 'Wish Lists' a little earlier than expected. -

I shan't waffle on as much as last time, you know who I am, and you know the story. So happy reads!

NOTE: In this chapter, they all arrive at the Hotel. I don't have a name for the Hotel. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

DISCLAIMER: Again I say, I don't own Beyblade or anything else to do with it.

MENTIONS: In every episode of 'Wish Lists', a friend of mine gets mentioned. This time it's...Yugi! (And Yami, of course...) HI ya! Send us a review will you?
Oh, and on the subject of Reviews, another quick mention...
Hi and a big THANK YOU to my great reviewers, lakura, shadowwolf0379, Rejiita, Lady Snowblossom and, of course, my buddies Yugi and Mai. (Nice review script thingyyou two!)
As requested by YOU, the reviewers, here's Part Two!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"OK, we are here," the Russian driver said (in fairly good English) as the minibus pulled up outside a posh-looking hotel. "This where you staying for the week. Man from BBA waits for you in the reception."

The Blade Breakers thanked the driver as they got off the minibus. It was cold outside, so they hurried through the revolving doors into the heated interior of the hotel (whose name Tyson couldn't even read, let alone pronounce).

Suddenly Tyson stopped, almost tripping up Max who had been walking behind him.

"Max, I've just realised something." He said.

"What is it, Tyson?" Max asked shyly, with a strange little look in his eyes.

"Max, I, I think I left my bags on the plane!" Tyson blurted out.

"Oh, Tyson," Max whined impatiently. The hopeful look in his eyes had faded.

"I told you twice earlier, our bags were sent ahead. They've probably been put in our rooms by now."

"Oh yeah, now I remember! Thanks Max," Tyson said, patting his friend on the back as he started walking again. "I'd be lost without you, buddy."

"Really?" Once again that dopey look was in his eyes as Max followed behind Tyson like a sad little puppy.

'Oh please, get a room.' Kai had been watching the nauseating little scene between those two with a sense of disgust. 'Max can be SO pathetic around Tyson sometimes. It's really lame.'

A sudden thought hit Kai. Was HE that obvious in the way he acted around Ray?

'No,' he thought. 'Don't be stupid. There's no way I'D ever get as pathetically sad as Tyson and Max.'

The group reached the main reception desk, and a familiar voice broke into Kai's thoughts.

"Hey, if it isn't the new World Champs! How you doing guys?"

"DJ Jazzman?!" they exclaimed in surprise. For there, leaning against the desk, was none other than the BBA commentator, the only person in the world who could rival Tyson in the 'loud-mouth' status.

After exchanging the usual pleasantries, Jazzman produced a small box from behind the counter.

"OK guys, it's decision time," he said, waving the box under their noses. "This was sent over by the people in charge of your little photo shoot. Inside you'll find some cards. Pull one out, and whatever it says is the theme of your photo shoot."

"What, it's themed?" Ray was confused. "I thought it was just for some magazine article on the Final."

"Well, originally, it was," Jazzman explained. "But the photo peeps thought it'd be too, boring, I 'spose. Anyway, isn't this way so much more fun?!"

'Everything's always one big game with this guy, it's so sad.' Kai thought, leaning against the wall, staring hard at a pile of leaflets on the desk, trying to stop his eyes from wandering over to where Ray was standing.

"And the photo shoot theme possibilities are..." Jazzman paused and produced a piece of paper, took a breath and began to read.

"Ideal Christmas Presents, New Year's Resolutions, Wish Lists, Secret Santa's or Naked Christmas Bladers."

"What?!" Now there was something that Kai had NOT been expecting. "Surely that's a joke."

"What, the naked photo thing? I'm serious, it's one of the options."

Kai, Ray and Max were suddenly a little put off after hearing that last 'option', but Tyson was still unnervingly eager to have his photos taken- even if it now meant having to strip off. He reached out to take the box from Jazzman, but Kai grabbed his arm.

"I don't think this is a good idea, Tyson."

"Aw, lighten up, will ya, Kai? It's only a bit of fun, right Ray?"

But Ray grabbed Tyson's other arm.

"Sorry, but I'm with Kai on this one, Tyson," he said. "I have a feeling that it's not going to be worth it."

Tyson struggled against their grip, trying to break free. "Come on guys, gimme a break...Hey, hey! What're you doin'?!" he protested loudly as Kai and Ray dragged him back through reception towards the doors.

"Will you two get OFF of me! Max, hey Max, help me out here buddy!!"

But Max just stood looking bewildered whilst Kai and Ray crossed the room, dragging the protesting Tyson behind them.

Kai kicked the revolving door to start it spinning, then he and Ray threw Tyson outside, watching as he landed face-first into a large snowdrift.

"That ought to cool him off." Kai remarked. The two stood by the doors laughing as Tyson struggled to get up before slipping over on ice and falling down again.

Then Kai looked at Ray.

And Ray looked at Kai.

Their laughter faded, and the others were momentarily forgotten as their eyes met. Both had a sudden urge to tell the other just how they felt. Ray was conscious of his vow to tell Kai before the 25th. Now was as good a time as any.

"Kai," he began. "There's something I-"

"So, Max!" Jazzman's loud voice sounded from behind them, interrupting Ray.

"Since the others are busy playing in the snow, why don't YOU pick a card?"

Kai and Ray turned around to see Max putting his hand in the box to draw out a card.

'Crap,' Ray thought bitterly, 'Way to spoil the moment, Max.'

"Idiotic little twerp." Kai muttered as they hurried back towards the desk. Ray had been about to tell him something, now that blonde ponce had totally wrecked the moment.

"Max," Kai had a threatening tone to his voice. "If that card says what I think it does. I SWEAR that I'll-"

"Hey, calm down man," Jazzman butted in. "Let the little guy read it at least!"

"Come on then Max, what does it say?" Ray prompted.

Max looked at the card nervously and gulped.

"It, it says 'n-nude photo s-shoot." He stuttered the last words, his face going red with embarrassment, eyes lowered to the floor, wishing it would swallow him.

"Wow, so the magazine peeps weren't joking after all!" Jazzman exclaimed, beginning to laugh.

"We are NOT doing that." Kai snapped, folding his arms and glaring at Jazzman. "You cannot be serious."

"Whoa, calm down, Kai, man, don't shoot the messenger!" Jazzman stopped laughing.

"Look, if you're really not happy with it then talk to the magazine people. They're coming to speak to you all tomorrow morning anyway. They'll be in the hotel's restaurant at 11:15, after breakfast." He looked at his watch. "And speaking of times, it's time for moi to leave. Here's your room key-card things,"

He handed Ray an envelope. "Very posh round here, so behave yourselves! Right, rooms are on the top floor, apparently. Get some rest, and I'll see you around. Bye guys!"

Jazzman grabbed the box containing the other 'choice' cards and hurried out of the doors, passing by a cold, wet and disgruntled Tyson.

Now Kai was glaring at Max.

"You better hope they let us change the theme." He warned.

Max said nothing. Feeling extremely uncomfortable around the older boy, he dropped the little card and scampered off to where Tyson was, in that very pathetic manner that had the effect of making Kai feel nauseous.

---

In the snow outside, DJ Jazzman walked quickly through the cold.
He stopped only once, at an open trashcan, into which he threw the little box.
As it fell, the box lid opened and several little cards fluttered out onto the rubbish below.

The BBA commentator couldn't help but laugh when he saw that every single card had 'nude photo shoot' typed on them.

(Hehehehehehehe! Me evil!!)

Well, that's the end of another chapter! As you could see,that one was a little longer than the first, as will be all others that follow it. So don't expect such a quick update next time. Parts 3, 4, and 5 are almost done, just gotta finish and edit.

Also, as you can tell, I'm not exactly a big fan of Max and Tyson...
(SORRY FANS OF THEM, PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!!)
Please give suggestion on whether Ty and Maxy should get together, cos I'm undecided on that one at the mo...

I'll leave you now with the nice thoughts of Kai and Ray in a nude photo shoot... (DROOL!!)

See ya next time, please review!!
