Lunartigergurl: Hey!

Sirfartalot: Oh great. She's in a good mood. My life is over…

Lunartigergurl: Come on everyone! Smile! The sun is shining (here anyway) and the birds are singing! Turn those frowns upside down… this means you too Sirfartalot.

Sirfartalot: Will you just get on with it? I have a ton of homework and you're supposed to help me.

Lunartigergurl: Fine, fine. Well this story is my first so flames will be taken way too seriously and they will probably reduce me to tears. It's to the point because I don't believe in beating around the bush.

Sirfartalot: Trust me, it's very to the point. I read the rough and was like 'wow!'

Lunartigergurl: Thank you Sirfartalot. Where was I? Oh yes! I will not be held responsible for any spelling mistakes. Blame the crickets! They won't stop singing! Chirp, chirp, chirp. It's like a never-ending chirp party! Anyway, enjoy.

Sirfartalot: None of us own Beyblade. If we did we'd be busy making the fourth season. ((THERE SHOULD BE A FOURTH SEASON!))

It burned him up inside.

It ate at him.

It was payback time…

…Chapter 1:

Sorta like a prologue but not quite.

Kai entered the office first; he had walked ahead of the others as they were too busy talking nonsense. He didn't bother to take in his surroundings. He'd been in the office many times before and had no reason to look it over. But when he heard the giggle he turned his head to the young girl sitting on a stool against the wall to his left. She was reading a magazine and based on her expression it was an amusing article; couldn't have been older than seventeen.

He had to admit she was pretty; she had dark hair that hung like silk to her shoulders and her sun-kissed skin seemed to glow slightly in the office's light. Her eyes were pale green and she was dressed in black three-quarters, a dark green, thin-strapped top and slip-on sandals.

Kai smirked. He didn't know who she was and he didn't know why she was there. But he did know she was going to be trouble! Maybe not for him but… only time would tell.

He took a seat in front of the unoccupied desk and waited for the others to arrive, his smirk still in place. They arrived less than two minutes later, Tyson and Max talking loudly with excitement, and Rei silently listening. They all stopped when they saw the girl.

"Hey!" Tyson said. Typical. Always the first to greet a stranger. She looked up from the magazine and raised a delicate brow.

"Do I know you?" She asked casually and answering her own question, returned her attention back to the article and smiled. Tyson looked at Max and shrugged. Max took a determined breath and stepped forward.

"Uh, my name is Max."

Kai looked over at Rei and held back a laugh, as he'd done many times before. Rei was regarding the girl with mild annoyance, for some unknown reason. And his eyes were slightly darker than usual. 'Interesting,' Kai thought and waited.

"Listen," she said with a sigh. "Can't you see I'm busy?"

"W-well…" Max started but was cut off by a cheerful greeting. Mr. Dickenson sat down behind the oak desk.

"Good morning boys! Please take a seat." He used his hand to motion to the small chairs and they all obeyed. He looked at the girl who was still reading, and then at the boys. "Boys. I'd like you to meet my niece Alexis."

They nodded in her direction but were plainly ignored as she continued to read the magazine. Rei frowned. 'Alexis, huh? We'll see…'

"Lexi," Rei voiced angrily and Alexis instantly lifted her head, her green eyes slightly wide. But only slightly. She was like a female Kai – hiding her outer emotions. Well…most of them.

Her gaze landed on Rei and the magazine fell to the floor, where it landed neatly. Her mouth opened and a soft word left her lips. "Rei…"

Lunartigergurl: To the point. See?

Sirfartalot: I told you. ((STILL NO FOURTH SEASON)) But it's only the prologue. Review. And if you do she'll update. Trust me, you'll like the rest. Very uh…detailed.

Lunartigergurl: Hush, you nana-head! You can't give the rest of the story away. You'll ruin it!

Sirfartalot: Relax woman. I just said it was detailed. Besides, that's only later on in the story!

Lunartigergurl: I know its short but I promise the other chapters are much, much, MUCH longer! I want at least fifteen reviews before I update though. I know it's a lot so you'll have to tell your friends to review.

Sirfartalot: Is she vain or what? She's going on as though her story is a hit (ducks fist thrown his way). Hey! Watch where you're throwing that thing!

Lunartigergurl: Please review. I really want to update this story. And there might be a little bit of… Y-A-O-I… in it. O.– ((A surprise event – very un-like me but review so that you can find out what I'm talking about)).

Sirfartalot: OK. Homework…ringing any bells?

Lunartigergurl: Why do I need to help you? You're a teacher's pet for crying out loud! Cheers everyone! We'll be back soon. Hopefully…

…End of chapter 1…
