Raining Starlight: Hello, everyone! Hear me out before you guys go and yell at me for not updating! The reason I wasn't able to update was because I lost the Internet connection from September 22nd. And I only got my notebooks(where I write my fics) back from a friend of mine on the 4th of October and I was extremely busy with some function. Anyway, here's the new chapter. I think you'll find it pretty funny. Thanks to my reviewers RikaSkywalker and BeyMistress05.

BeyMistress05: Yup. Ray coughs up hair balls. . . in my fic, anyway. It is pretty gross but it's even funnier than gross. Here's the next chapter. Hope you like it. Thanks a lot for your review.

RikaSkywalker: Thanks! I'm glad that you thought it was okay. Max is pretty cute, isn't he? Thanks for telling me about the chapter thing. I think I forgot to mention that the fic is posted. It's called "Hyper Bladebreakers". Check it out. And, I'm going to be featuring the other characters after the prologue, which is probably three parts. Thanks! And again, thanks for the review.

Disclaimer: Do I have to? Fine. I don't own Beyblade or any of it's characters, and nor do you people. I do own the plot and the OOC characters though. I think.

Last time on "Living Statue: The Sequel". . . . .

"Who could it be this time?" Kai asked with an exasperated sigh. He went to the door and placed his hand on the knob.

"I don't know, but I'm starting to decide to put a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the handle," Hilary suggested. "At least that way no one will disturb us."

"For sure." Kai pried open the door and was surprised to see who it was.

"Hey, Kai. What's up?" Ray asked.

Now on "Living Statue: The Sequel". . . . .

"Hey, Kai. What's up?" Ray asked. He seemed a bit nervous somehow. "Hey, where's Hilary? I have to ask her a favor. Oh! There you are." He ran over to Hilary and hid behind her back. He held on to her shoulders and peeked from behind her.

"Ray? What're you doing?" Hilary asked. "Is something wrong?"

"As a matter of fact, yes. Something's terribly wrong."

"Then what is wrong? At least give us that information. What're you trying to hide from anyway?"

"Yeah, what are you hiding from?" Kai asked. "I don't think that whatever you're hiding from should be that dangerous if you're planning on taking cover behind a woman. If it were that dangerous, you'd think of hiding behind me instead of Hilary. I mean, come on, dude! She's a girl for crying out loud! Look at her! She's so skinny she couldn't even lift an ounce!"

By now, Hilary was boiling with rage. She turned to look at Ray behind her and took his hands off of her shoulders.

"Hold on, Ray," she said with an unbelievable calm voice. "I have to go and teach Kai 'I'm Such A Man' Hiwatari a lesson."

Ray nodded as Hilary made her way to Kai. She quickly balled her right fist and landed a punch on Kai's left eye which had turned a dark purple by now.

"OW!" Kai cried in pain. "What was that for? What did I do? Why the heck did you punch me?"

"You know very well why I punched you," said Hilary quite simply.

If you weren't paying attention to Kai and Hilary's little "lovers' quarrel", you'd see Ray rolling around the floor and laughing his head off. Not literally, but that would have been a sight to see though. Anyway, when Ray ceased his laughing, though he was still chuckling, he spoke to the pair.

"Boy, Kai," he said, "she can sure pack a punch for a woman, can't she?"

"You took the words right out of my mouth, Ray," said Kai while holding an ice-pack, he got out of nowhere, to his injured eye.

"You know it!" Hilary beamed with a triumphant look on her face.

"Anyway, what are you hiding from, Ray?" asked Kai.

"M-Mariah," Ray answered, trembling with fear.

"MARIAH!" Kai and Hilary both yelled. "WHAT IN BLAZES ARE YOU HIDING FROM MARIAH FOR!"

"Shh! Quiet! She'll hear you!" Ray whispered. "She'll kill me if she ever finds out where I am. I mean, I didn't mean to do it; it was and accident. But, seriously, guys. She'll really kill me if she knows that I'm hiding here."

At that point, Kai and Hilary were both picturing Mariah with a crazed look on her face a switched on chainsaw in her hands. She was chasing Ray around a blank room, waving the chainsaw around and nearly cutting off Ray's ponytail as he pulled it back.

"Hello?" Ray said, waving his hand in front of Hilary and Kai's faces.

"Huh-what?" Kai said, finally out of his trance. "Sorry. Must've zoned out or something."

"What? Who? Where? Why? When? How?" Hilary chanted while shifting her head back and forth. "What happened? Oh, now I remember.

"Now, what did you do to Mariah? I'm sure that it can't be that bad.

"You've probably done things worse than what you did to her this time.

"Like the time when you forgot to flush the toilet and stank up the whole bathroom; the time when you spit out your punch on her dress when you were laughing during prom night, the time when you accidentally got gum stuck in her hair and she had to cut a huge chunk of it off, the time--"

"Okay! I get it," Ray said. "So, I messed up a lot of things. But if I didn't know any better, I'd say that this is, by far, the worst thing I've ever done."

"Then you probably don't know any better," Kai spoke up, smirking. "In fact, you probably don't know any good for that matter."

"Shut up, Kai," Hilary snapped. "I bet that you don't know any better nor better than good than Ray. So, Ray, for the last time, what did you do to Mariah?"

Ray sighed. "Remember the time I got gum stuck in her hair and she had to cut most of it off?" he asked. The two nodded their heads. "Well, this time, I was cutting her hair on purpose--no! She asked me to!" He added the last part for the pair had given him a shocked expression. "She asked me to give her a hair cut because it grew too long. So I sat her down and got a pair of scissors and started cutting it."

"Wait a minute," Hilary interrupted Ray. "You mean she asked you to cut her hair? You, the worst hair-cutter ever, to cut her hair? I feel sorry for her." (So do I)

"Yeah, whatever. Anyway, I started cutting it and everything was going along fine until--"

"What? What happened?" Hilary interrupted. Again.

"I'm getting to that, Hilary. So shut up unless you want me to staple your mouth."

That made Hilary shut her trap.

"Okay, everything was going along fine until. . . until. . . until. . . until--"

"JUST SPIT IT OUT, YOU IDIOT!" Hilary and Kai hollered.

Ray jumped. "Until I. . . sorta. . .cut more than I had intended to. As in, I cut the left side of her head more than I cut the right side of her head. So, basically, one side of her head is half-bald, while the other side still has hair."

There was a long silence when no one spoke. Kai and Hilary gaped at Ray open-mouthed. The silence was very tense. Hilary and Kai still had their mouths open.

"So. . . exactly how bad is it?" Ray asked breaking the tense silence.

Hilary was the first to speak. "You are in so much trouble!" She pointed her finger at Ray accusingly and fell on the floor, laughing. Soon, Kai joined her. They both rolled around the floor, pounding it. Tears streamed out of their eyes as they roared with laughter.

"You--ha ha--did--ha, aha ha-- that for-for--ha ha--real--ha ha?" Hilary managed to speak in between laughs.

"Dude, Mariah--ha ha ha--is so gonna kill you! You are dead meat! Ha ha! You're toast! Ha ha ha! You're gonna be burned to a crisp! Ha ha ha!" Kai also managed to say in between peals of laughter.

Ray stood there, dumbfounded. He stared at the duo who had made a fresh batch of laughter again and dropped to the floor, rolling on it again.

"Guys!" Ray shouted. "Come on! Be a bit more supportive than that! She's gonna rip me apart, limb from limb! You gotta hide me! Please!"

Just then, the door banged open and there stood Mariah, her eyes in slits and raging with fire. Steam blew out of her ears and she bared her fangs.

"RAAAAAAAAY!" Mariah roared, rage obviously evident in her voice. "I'M SO GONNA KILL YOU, YOU MORON!"

To be continued. . . . .

Raining Starlight: Okay! I got that out of my way. I think that this chapter was pretty long. What do you guys think? Tell me if it was good or bad. I have another thing to say: do you people want any other Beyblade charaters to appear? I'm going to make them appear after Mariah and Ray leave, which is next chapter. Anyway, review! And tell me if you want any Beyblade characters to make an appearance. Later!
