Lee flopped backwards in exasperation. Kevin giggled; Lee glared at him. Ray and Gary rolled their eyes.

All day they had been doing things Lee had deemed as "unworthy". His pouting was actually upping the punishment.

Right now, they were scrubbing the floors of the boys' bathroom in their school. They'd already helped to peel oranges (Mariah hadn't minded that one and had finished her pile twenty minutes before the boys), dust all the shelves of the head elder's library (Lee claimed he never wanted to see another book in his life), and cut the grass in the field for recess (Lee had actually started a game of soccer with Ray while the others splashed around in the puddles from last night's storm, they'd gotten the bathrooms for that).

Oh, and they'd gotten their Beyblades taken away from them so they didn't "try anything foolish".

Suddenly, a little pink figure flipped onto the window from outside. They all gasped.

"Mariah! What are you doing? You're supposed to be cleaning the girls' bathroom!" Lee cried indignantly.

"You're one to talk" Mariah said, pointing to his bucket, four feet away from him, "and besides, I finished"

"How?" Lee exclaimed, "You're only one person, and the girls' bathroom is twice as big as the boys'!"

"Duh. Maybe it's just my feminine instincts"

Lee responded to this by throwing a sponge at her, which she easily dodged by grasping the top of the window and pulling herself up.

"Thanks a lot, Mariah!" Lee cried, "Now I lost my sponge!"

Mariah just laughed and jumped into the bathroom.

"Wanna see how I really finished the bathroom?"

All the boys nodded except for Lee, who just pouted and looked the other way.

"Simple"

Mariah grabbed two sponges (including hers) and jumped on them, creating some sort of roller skate. She slid around the bathroom with ease.

All the boys, including Lee, were impressed. Ray and Lee grabbed one each and used them like skateboards. Kevin jumped out the window to grab Lee's and slid on it with his butt. Gary ran out to the supply cabinet and grabbed about seven, which he alternately threw at the floor once they were nice and soapy. The others would switch from sponge to sponge, and Gary joined Kevin in sliding.

Suddenly, the door burst open. There stood Gao, Naoko, and three others they identified as Ray, Kevin, and Gary's teachers, Rui Kong, Kuo Meng, and Kuang Guo.

"Err…" the five White Tigers looked at each other nervously. They expected a scolding, or even another punishment, from their teachers. But they got the complete opposite from their teachers.

They started laughing.

The White Tigers glanced at each other again, and then stared at the adults.

"Uh, what's so funny?" Lee asked.

Between giggles, Naoko managed to answer.

"You" she choked out.

"Huh?"

At that moment, Kuo fell to the ground, his hand over his eyes in laughter.

"Um, does this mean we're not gonna get punished more?" Kevin asked.

"I wouldn't go that far" Rui said, "That's up to the elder"

"Aww"

Author's Notes: Kind of a cute ending, but too close to last chapter's to be really adorable. You know, this is the first time I've ever written a 'cutesy' story. It's kind of odd how fun it is, and that I'm getting such a turnout. The only thing I'm worried about is that I'm a very strong RayMariah fan, and when they get even older, you know, around 13 for Ray and 11 for Mariah, which won't be for a while, don't worry, but anyways, I don't know how much I'll be able to hold it back. Don't worry, it'll still be rated K, so there'll be no, well, you know, in it, but it's almost definitely going to tip that way (to RayMariah, of course, not, ahem). Would you guys mind that? I'll let you guys decide. Well, thanks for reviewing all, and all reviewers this time get… Tell 'em what they get, Molly!

(Random girl from Wheel of Fortune appears on the stage)

Molly: Well, reviewers, you'll win Kevin's bag! It's excellent for storing paper for reviewing (author chokes), and many other things! The strap fits easily around your shoulder and rests comfortably on your hip. As seen in Beyblade and Beyblade: GRevolution! Also, if you'll be entered in a drawing to have your name featured in the next chapter!

Well, you heard her! Get out those pads of paper and start up your reviews! (Me: This is the lamest attempt to get more reviews I've ever attempted…)
