Alana was in the Kitchen deciding what to cook.
"Hm…what to cook…" Alana muttered while looking through cookbooks and flipping through recipe cards. Suddenly her eyes landed on a card. Alana took the card out and read it. It was a recipe for a simple sushi dinner
"This'll be perfect…" Alana looked over the recipe and checked in the kitchen to find any ingredients.
"Crap…there's none! I guess I can go the grocery store and buy what I need," Alana said to herself. She grabbed a wallet and went to the store
"Hey Alana!"
Alana spun around and there was Ray standing right behind her.
"Oh hey Ray. I was going to the grocery store to pick up a few things for dinner" Alana explained
"Well…. if it's no problem Do you mind If I come with you…you know to help carry the stuff for you?"
"I don't mind…let's go!"
The two of them walked to the store
"So Ray…how long have you and your team been together?" Alana asked
"Just a year ago…Last year we were at the world championships in Moscow. After that we split up because we didn't have a reason to stay as a team no more. I went back to my home village to teach the younger kids how to beyblade…what about you?" said Ray
"Oh I see…well...for me my dad passed away a year ago…. my mom died while giving birth to my sister Anna. But Anna died after my mother died. I was at least six or seven. Alana said quietly
'Both her parents died...even her younger sister as well. Still I don't know what to do if both my parents died…but I don't know why she still smiles after what she tells me," Ray thought to himself. He was looked at a smiling Alana who was humming a song. "Still I wonder why she still smiles…'
"Ray?"
Ray snapped out of his thoughts and faced her
"Ray…why is…er…the guy left after I met them…. you know with the gray eyes? Is that guy always like that?" Said Alana
"You mean Kai? He's always like that with people…give him some time to get used to you. It took awhile for Kai to get used to us." Said Ray
"Really? Is Kai…a nice person?"
"To be honest I don't really know. But I know he's a pretty nice deep down" ray smiled
"Hey! We're at the grocery store…it'll be a few minutes…can you wait?"
"Sure!"
A few minutes later…
Alana stumbled out of the store with very heavy. Ray came to her aid
"Thanks Ray! Buy these are really heavy. I must have bought a lot of ingredients!" Alana said cheerfully
"No sweat. By the way…what are we having for dinner?"
"Sushi…Do you have any allergies though?"
"I don't think so"
"Good…"
At home
Alana took the groceries back to the kitchen and made dinner
At Dinner
"Hey guys! Dinner!" Before Alana set up dinner she ate some food and set up the table. She sat as she waited for Tyson and his friends to come.
"Hey! That smells good!"
"You really think so? Well…dig in…" Said Alana.
Everyone grabbed what they wanted and ate
"THIS IS SO GOOD!" Tyson mumbled between bites
"Really? It's not too bland?"
"Yeah…this is good," said Max
Alana smiled as they ate
"Wait…where's Hilary?"
"She went home" Max stated
"Oh…She would come for dinner…oh well…next time," Alana said in a worried voice
"Who needs her?" Mumbled Tyson
Alana watched them enjoyed their supper and thought of what Tyson meant
Two men in black were watching them eat dinner
"That looks good…mind if we'd come in she'd share?" said one
"We're not here to discuss food. We're here to spy remember?" said another
"Meanie…"
"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that"
'Dad…Maybe…I could get used to this…but it'll be so hard…I got two jobs! First housekeeping them and the other one is working at the lonely star book store…Dad…what should I do?' Alana thought sadly. She turned over to where his picture was. 'I miss you daddy but I must be strong…I can make it…' Alana looked at the time in her room. It was ten in the evening. She quickly changed into PJs and drifted off to sleep
The next morning…
It was six in the morning and Alana woke up. She used to this. She always wakes up at six for no reason. So quiet as a mouse she went to the bathroom to do her business. As she was done she got dressed. Today she was wearing a flowing white skirt that was above her ankles and a green short-sleeved peasant blouse. Her hair was in a braid tied with a green ribbon. She put on her slippers and went to the back yard to see the sunrise.
Sounds were in the backyard and Alana followed them. It was the gray-eyed kid. He was shouting orders to a spinning top. His blade was going to going around tress and bushes. He had a satisfied smirk until his blade bounced to a wall and hit the ground
"That has to be Kai…Well here goes nothing" She sat down and watched him with wonder.
"No…not again" He growled. He picked up Dranzer and started again. Alana looked in amazement. Beyblade was a fun sport and many kids love the sport
Kai sensed someone was watching him so he called Dranzer back into hand
"Why are you here? I thought you'd still sleeping along with my teammates" Kai said coldly
'Whoa…He's so coldhearted…but why is he so cold-hearted? I wonder…' Alana thought to herself. "I like to wake up early. Is that a problem…and I'm sorry for making you lose concentration as well…" She bowed, faint pink blush and eyes closed
'What's with this girl? She's strange like all the other girls…But she's even stranger than usual' Kai thought
"I'll leave you to practice" Alana said quietly. She stood up to leave
"Wait!" Kai grabbed her wrist. He stared at her wrist and looked away blushing a paint pink
"Um…yes?" Alana said meekly
"You're interested in the game right? Stay here and maybe you'll learn something for once." Kai stated. His voice was firm and cold but with a little compassion in it. She stared at him and gave her a genuine smile. Her smile was like no other girl's smile.
"Okay!"
"Just sit and watch"
Alana followed his instructions and sat down
'Dad…I think Kai's…nice in a way. But doesn't show it to all people…just a few…and I'm starting to think I'm one of this few…I'm glad I'm here dad…I'm really glad' Alana smiled as she watched Kai practice.
"Not again…this has to been the tenth time and I can't seem to get this right." Kai mumbled
"Is there something wrong?" Alana said in a worried tone
"It's just that…. I can't seem to…what I mean to say is…Grrrrrrr…I cant seem to get it right!" Kai growled. He punched a wall
"Kai! Are you okay? Maybe it would help if you calm down and tell me the problem…my dad always says when you have a problem it's best to calm down and think it through. It's always good to have a clear mind. Now tell me…what's the problem?"
Kai took a deep breath. "You see…we have a match with team Psykick. And we got these MG cores to even the playing field and help us win. They've got MG cores as well. But the problem is we can't control them and trying no matter we can't seem to get these damn things to work. Yesterday Hilary came up with a back to basics but Tyson being the loud mouth thinks it's being stupid got into an argument and Hilary left" Kai explained
"Geez…If I was you I'd go back to basics instead of listening to Tyson. My dad said everyone could do what they want to do freely. We just don't have to listen to what others think but what our minds and hearts say to do…no one can control us but we can control ourselves…. I'm going weird on you right?" Alana lowered her head
"Hmph! Whatever" Kai turned her back and started up his beyblade
"I'll be in the kitchen making breakfast…happy training!"
Kai looked at Alana who was out of eyesight.
'No one can control us but we can control ourselves…if she was in the abbey and told me this I'd have hope in escaping that pitiful place…but for now I can be grateful' Kai thought this to himself. 'She's like no other girl…one thing I have to admire is her beauty…wait…what am I thinking? Forget about it!' Kai shook his head and went back to training.
Meanwhile everyone but Kai and Alana were still sleeping. Kai was still training and Alana was in the kitchen making omelets. She knew for a fact that Tyson loved to eat seeing that he almost finished the whole sushi dinner. She made some extras for Tyson's appetite. After a few minutes she made a plateful of omelets. She set up the table. On the table were plates, forks, knives, spoons, cups and three baskets of assorted fruit. Today's breakfast was like a classic England breakfast. So all she needs to do is wait for the others to wake up.
For 15 minutes Alana waited patiently for the others. Since breakfast got cold she went to wake them up. It was like 8:46 am and they'll need to eat. So she decided to go to their rooms and wake them p. On the way She saw Kai.
"Breakfast's ready Kai…I just need to get them up…do you know any ways to get them up?" Alana said in a confused voice
"Well…there is one way…Just do what I tell you and it'll wake them on the spot" Kai smirked. He whispered a couple of instructions. Alana nodded and set off
"By the way…breakfast is ready…help yourself." Alana added
'Those guys will never know what hit them especially Tyson' Kai thought. He smirked and walked into the kitchen. The smell of omelets wafted in the air.
"Okay...I got everything now who should I wake up first?" Alana thought. After deciding whom to wake, it would have to be Ray, then Max and then Tyson. Kai told her a little tidbit that Tyson is really hard to get up. It was a good thing Kai was up or they'd be sleeping for the whole day. So carrying a bucket of water so managed to get to where the Bladebreakers were sleeping. According to Kai This is the room where they were sleeping. So Alana was about to tip the bucket when Ray woke up.
"Hey Alana…what's with the bucket?" He yawned
"It's nothing!" Alana laughed nervously.
"Really?" Ray raised a brow
"Well…" Alana told Ray the plan that Kai had organized for the team.
"Really? Well I better wake the others…we'll be in the kitchen" Ray laughed. This was going to be fun.
"O-Okay…I'll see you there." Alana left. Ray took the bucket and…
Kai sat quietly eat an omelet. To be honest she was a pretty good cook. So there he was eating an omelet when Alana went into the kitchen and sat beside him
"Did it work?"
"Well…it didn't quite work as you planned it to be"
"Then I'm going to get them up" Kai stood but Alana tugged him on the pant leg
"Wait…Well I was about to wake Ray up but he woke up and I told him your plan and he's take care of it! I'm so sorry!" Alana was buried her face in her hands
"Whatever…Just wait for their reactions."
"Okay"
So the two of them were eating breakfast when Ray cam in with a very soaked Max and Tyson
"T-This has t-to be y-your idea Kai!" Tyson panted. Max came in as well yawning and wringing his wet pajamas
Kai smirked.
"Um…how about we eat breakfast!" Cut in Alana. She feared that chemistry was going to start between those two.
"Alright!"
"By the way…today's breakfast is like a classic American or England breakfast…so dig in!" Alana explained
"Alright! Thanks Alana!" Cheered Max. He took an omelet and too a bite. "These taste great just like my mom's omelets back home!" He mumbled between bits
"Thanks!"
As soon as everyone finished breakfast she gathered the dishes and dumped them in the sink to wash them
"Need some help?" Asked Max
"I'm fine! Really I'll do them and you and the others can do whatever!" Alana smiled
"I insist!" Max took a dish and began washing it
'I better thank him later…' Alana took a dish and began washing it
"Thanks Max! I'd still be doing them right now if it wasn't for you!" Said Alana as she put the last dish in the cabinet
"No problem! I'll see you later! We'll be at the beach or in the backyard." Max waved to her and disappeared
"Bye Max! Thanks for the help!"
"Like I said No problem!" Max yelled back
"Now that breakfast is over I got to decided to lunch…" Alana thought. She took out her cookbooks and recipe cards to find what a good lunch will be
