I'm sorry that my updates keep getting later and later but this has been crazy. My vacation was great, well okay. My grandparents are sick so we went to a hospital or doctor everyday. My great great uncle died on Tuesday so I went to his funeral. I read 3 awesome Fan Fics on Vacation. They are Timeless: Harry Potter, Ivani Chronicles Bk.1: Digimon, and Ivani Chronicles Bk. 2: Digimon. My grandfather died and I don't get to go to the funeral because I'm in Washington DC this week and the funeral is on Thursday. I'm sad but okay.

Timeless is a story where Ron can time travel to anywhere and anytime in his and or others lives. The only problem is he has no clue when he travels, where he goes, and when in time. So he's ending up crazily around his life meeting people in anytime and place. It is written by Solace Muse. It's 39 chapters long and takes about an hour a chapter so it's a long time comitement but it's awesome. It's a Harry Potter Fan Fic. Pairing: HermionexRon.

Ivani Chronicles is a trilogy but only 2 books are completed. Ivani Chronicles is when TK saves Kari they both end up with their guardians: Ivan and Maddie. Ivan is a defense specialist while Maddie is a medical specialist. Bk. 1 is 10 chapters- Est. time per chapter is an hour. Bk. 2 is 13 chapters- Est. time per chapter is 45 min. Written by: Ivan Ishara. KarixTK and MaddiexIvan fic.

Chapter 13: Someone Who'll Never Give Up

(Kai's Viewpoint)

Well I guess everything in my life is finally not as sad and pathetic as I thought it to be. I would think it would be after as the problems I have had. It would take me a long time but I'm going to make two lists. One of the problems I've had and one of the good things I have. I don't know which is longer. Which is bigger is the question?

Problems and Bad Things:

Growing up at the Abbey

Living with my grandfather

The Poisonings in my body

Tala's betrayal

Tala hurting Emily (6 things)

Tala hurting Me (2 things)

Emily leaving her awesome job for me

Me not getting the job

I'm sure that's not all of them but it's the things that I can put down easily. These are big things that have happened. It's like having 14 or more things happen. It got horribly painful, sad and pathetic but I still need to think about the better things.

Momentous Occasions or Good Things:

Emily becoming my partner

Exzata my blade

Dranzer my bit-beast

Emily

My engagement

Going to school to get a doctor's degree

Tutoring Kaelan and Samantha

Beyblading

The Bladebreakers

The All-Stars

I don't know. I think desperately that there should be more but maybe they aren't. Maybe my life is more bad than good. I don't think so. If I balanced about years it made me happy then it would defiantly be much better; Especially when I get married to Emily.

Emily and I are going to America for a month to tell her parents. I kind of miss mine but I have to forget what my grandfather did to them. Great, another thing on the bad list! sarcastically. Well getting back to the visiting Emily's parents thing. I'm kind of glad to meet them but I'm kind of annoyed by them. Anyone who wants to judge me is annoying; at least for me. I hate people judging me. Emily judges my skills but not me in person. She waiting and made a theory about me and it was 100 right.

Emily walks in and I smile. "Hey Kai, what are you doing?"

"I was just thinking about going to America. What were you doing?" I asked her.

"I was going shopping. But I'm thinking about heading over to the center to check on Kaelan and Samantha. You better say good-bye to them too. You know how much they enjoy talking to you even though you rarely talk back to them." I raised my eyebrows and followed Emily across the street to the beyblade center.

"Hey Kaelan and Samantha; what you up to?" Emily said watching them stare at the chalkboard but nothing was written on it. Note: No one except Emily is allowed to call Samantha, Samantha. I would slip-up sometimes and she'd glare it me. I'd roll my eyes and she do a smart mouthed face and walk somewhere. It was very much like Emily.

"Nothing, we were getting tons of letters for you guys but you were late so we waited to give them to you. Nothing much. I almost beat Kaelan today though." Emily smiled. I knew as well as Emily did that Samantha and Kaelan are like me and Emily and even with Exzata and the ultimate blade power I can't beat her.

"Okay, so let's see you two go at it again." Emily said going over to the dish to watch.

"She can't beat me Emily. She just never gives up at fighting. She calls almost when I'm starting to wobble. I'm not down until I'm out of this dish or not moving." Kaelan said talking with Emily and Samantha while I went over for pure enjoyment and fun.

I chuckled and they looked back at me. "Samantha isn't the only one here that won't give up. We could pretty much classify everyone in that room as someone who won't give up." Samantha and Emily nodded. I was so right.

"I never said I won I said quote 'I almost beat Kaelan today though'. See, I'm right and you're wrong. We all might never give up but we are never going to beat each other." Sam said very smart and mouthy to Kaelan.

"Kai's beaten Emily before Sam. It was at the first championships they attended remember…" Sam slapped her hand hard over Kaelan's mouth. Then she gave him a sharp glare at him.

"Shut it Kaelan, we know and none of us. Especially Kai and Emily would like to remember that." I still realized what he was saying. Yes, I had beaten Emily. Was it fair, was it evil and cruel to Emily? Yes. I really didn't want to remember.

"Great another thing for my list." I mumbled just enough for my fiancé, Emily to notice.

"And what list would that be Kai?" I gave her the same sharp shut it glare that Emily just gave Kaelan.

"Never mind." I looked over to a crying Sam who decided to run out of the room and away from her destined partner, Kaelan. Emily followed her out and I took this time to talk to Kaelan.

"Do me and yourself a favor and don't try to out smart Sam or Emily anytime soon, or ever for that matter. They've done so many things right and more than ahead of the game. Sam doesn't use all the advantages she has against you as you do. She could be you and most likely me if she tried hard enough." Kaelan looked confused.

"You and Sam have advantages. Sam has the brains of the game and you have the brawn. When the brain knows every move you're about to win then you might as well give up unless the brain has no brawn at all to back it up and sad for us Sam and Emily have brains and brawn." I clarified to Kaelan.

"Kai, that really stinks. So that means that you and I will never be able to win against them or even tie with them if they had their full potential." I laughed. He made it sound so much more hopeless than it sounds.

"No, I'm just saying that as long as the are smart than they could copy move for move and tie easy. That is even without putting their real strength into it. That's why I'm catching up so close to Emily because by blading with her I can match her moves." I said hoping that, that would explain what I was saying.

"That's good because hopeless doesn't work for me. It makes me feel like I have no choice but to surrender because if it was hopeless than I could give up and it wouldn't make a difference. So how do I beat Sam?" I laughed; he didn't get it.

"You still don't get it do you Kaelan? Sam knows you're moves, she knows your weaknesses and strengths. She made your blade. She knows it better than you know it yourself. You can't beat her and she can't beat you. You never will and neither can I. It's a fact of nature." Kaelan sighed against except it seemed he was confused and annoyed.

"Why though? Why if we can over power them and we could start knowing their moves, can't we beat them? It makes no sense?" I see, that's all he needed to ask.

"Easy, because as you learn her moves she's gaining strength so you lose strength to gain brains and she gains strength to lose brain. I don't mean she's getting stupider. I mean that the she losing the advantage as fast as you gain it on the opposite field." He nodded. He put his head down on the table.

"That stinks that we couldn't compete and have a winner. It would go on forever. Beyblading is just too tough when there isn't a winner. How did you deal with that between you and Tyson, Kai?" Me and Tyson, huh?

"Easy, we couldn't say anyone was better because as many times as I had beaten him he would beat me. I could beat him easier than he could me but little knocking me out still counts so that's it. Beyblading is a team sport as much as I have to admit it. You put together the strong and raise each other up not tear each other down." He nodded and ran out of the room and pushed Emily in the room.

"How's Sam doing?" She smiled and came over to me and leaned against me.

"If E plus K is fine than they're fine." Emily said smiling and chuckling. It was that math problem she did before. E plus K is equal to K plus S. It meant in all that if we're fine than they will be and are.

"We'll E plus K is fine now so they must be." She nodded and the two came back hanging around together. A happy day for them, well it's a happy day for us so they are the same. I walked over to the board and wrote another formula on the board.

"What's this formula Kai?" I smiled and finished it. It was so complex yet so simple. E+K-5y(K+S)n. "Kai, this looks like a mixed up version of my equation?"

"That's exactly what it is. It means Emily plus Kai minus 5 years is equal to Kaelan and Sam now." Emily fell over laughing. Emily and Sam looked at the board and looked at us and I laughed again.

"Emily and Kai, what does that mean?" I laughed again and again. Kaelan was so easily confused just like me.

"See I told you I was catching us. It means simply that you are exactly where we were 5 years ago." Sam and Kaelan nodded. They were 15 now and not as well immature as they were then. They use to think that them liking each other was a silly dream but seeing us it all made sense to them.

I just realized they acted so immature when they first came to us. They started blading at 10 and practiced until they were 13 and came here. Then two years later they are just like us except they are much more mature. It's amazing how 2 years makes a difference.

"So Emily, when do you think these two will start dating, I mean like each other." I whispered so quietly in here ear. They other two were reading something.

"Now." She whispered and I was surprised. Emily had a plan and It seemed too good to be true.

"If you can get them together tonight; then I'll be really impressed." She nodded and smiled.

"But just promise to go along with everything I say and this will work out perfectly." I kissed her on the check and then nodded. "Hey guys, didn't you two say that you had letters for us?" I had forgotten that they were giving us letters.

"Hey Emily, didn't we have something we wanted to tell them?" Her jaw dropped and she and I had forgot about telling them about us leaving and stuff.

"Well first let's all sit down, okay?" I just followed her lead like I had agreed to. "Kai and I are going to talk to my mom about the marriage and stay in America for a month; hopefully less. I'm not good with my parents and Kai's not the best with them either." I laughed; a major understatement.

(Emily's Viewpoint)

"Oh, that's cool guys. Just make sure you be careful for yourselves." I was thinking about what he meant by that but she was talking about me and the chance to get me pregnant.

"Kaelan!" Kai and I said. Kai thought it was funny but I didn't. That's how I got scared and fainted the first time. I thought about how crazy it would be for Kai and I to have a child. It would be super strong and smart. It would be an awesome blader and well just really sweet.

"I was just saying that. It was more than not directed to Emily for sure." Sam walked over to Kaelan and gave him a big whack on the head. "Ouch, Sam you sure are strong. Kai was right." What was with Kai and Kaelan's statement's about Kai being smarter and Sam being stronger it was and odd theory of Kai's.

"So Kai, would you like to fill me in on the crazy little theory that you have once again created?" He nodded and walked again to the board.

It looked like my trigonometry homework from last year. Yet I couldn't get it. It was something like side A increase factor A than side B increases in factor B. "Care to explain this Kai?" Sam said looking at Kai.

"Easy factor A is strength while factor B is brains. As a battle progresses subject B gains knowledge about his opponent. Subject be already has knowledge of his opponent so it has a over head. So while B realizes what A is doing A is gaining strength by fending back the already strong opponent such gaining strength." Kai said leaning against the wall.

"So why isn't you're formula in formula form if it's so simple? It makes sense in beyblading so why not use a formula. Maybe you should be doing the scientific stuff." I said smart mouthing Kai again.

"I can make a simple formula too but advanced formula's aren't my thing. Science is you're thing Emily; not mine. You make one." Kai said.

"Fine, then maybe I will." I back mouthed.

"Like you could."

"Now you've done it Kai. You know how challenging each other never turns out good."

"Ya, I know but I for once I don't think you can as easy as you think you could." I sighed.

He was right this formula had two different factors and two subjects and a balance to it so it was super complex but Kai winning this would a bit more difficult to make and use than any other formula I have created yet to this day but I knew I had to show him I was a good scientist like he thought.

I sat for a few moments on the chair and scribbled notes down so he would know I was trying and I was but he wanted a finish project now. But I still have none for him. I thought so K+1aS-1a. It was very simple but, was it correct was the question. This formula meant Kaelan plus 1 a or brain point is equal to Samantha minus 1 a or brain point. It didn't match exactly what he was describing. It was like using and algebraic answer to make a question into it. (K-1b) (S+1a) was the next one I tried. It looked more scientific-like but still didn't match his statement. Now I know why Kai couldn't get this.

"Having a hard time aren't we Emily?" Kai said looking at the eraser marks, the mark outs and all the formulas I have tried.

"You're right that it's a lot harder than you think. But I think I'm getting close." I looked at the formula I had made earlier it didn't exactly fit because of how I numbered the factors but I could fix that. Factor A is strength and Factor B is brains.

(S-1b+1a) (K+1b-1a). It was a combination of the last two formulas I had tried and it was much more efficient than ever before. It meant that the values are the same but to stay the same Sam must lose Factor A while still gaining the Factor B and Kaelan must gain Factor A and lose Factor B to stay with each other.

The formula was defiantly mathematical defined. "Okay Kai, I have figured it out so that it matches all the criteria that you told me and still keeps the values of both Kaelan and Sam equal. What do you think?" I wrote the formula up on the board.

"Nicely done Emily, I'm sure you could have made it much more complex than that though." Kai said trying to pull me into his trap where I say that I could have then well the normal stuff happens.

"Thanks Kai, I'm sure I could have but for the sake of Kaelan and Sam I'm glad I didn't because the formula I could have used the same way was something I learned the week before graduation finals our last year at college." He nodded and we both laughed because the determining factors for these were the same for us because we both were exactly like our younger counterparts when we were their ages.

"Hey in 5 years we'll be able to understand anything you can tell us. So never count us out because if we don't know it then eventually we will. So be prepared for it!" Sam said with a blazing energy of battle in her eyes. It was much like the one in Kai's and mine. I didn't take everything as a challenge when I was her age.

Well hours past by and we returned home to pack and leave for America and I sat down on Kai's couch before we left. "You know what's funny." I said just like a mumble that only Kai could hear.

"Most of the time I'd have a clue but you have been sitting there for an hour and haven't said anything until now so no. I don't know what's so funny." Kai said sitting next to me and I leaned back into his arms.

"When I'm talking to Sam and Kaelan it's like talking to our own children. Like we jumped into the future and that's them. That's how scary it is because Kaelan is more shy and quiet like me but he's a hard solid blader like you. Sam is very open and challenging like you but is scientific and quick blader like me. See what I mean."

"It is very funny and kind of scary because if that's how our children are going to be like then we're in for some major trouble because of how our parents and other family members turned out like." Kai seemed bothered by the fact that our children would some day be born into a world that could possibly treat them like he was.

"Kai, we won't let that happen. You're parents were killed by poisoning and when weak stabbed. You are already strong enough to have no effect by poison and could protect yourself in case of stabbing and so am I so don't worry." I kissed Kai on the check. "Just in case of anything goes wrong we'll right a will and give the kids to one of the guys or my parents. If you're parents would have thought like that you could have been saved. But somehow I'm glad it happened." Kai seemed surprised by this statement and it was a good wonder why.

"Would you like me to clue you in?" He looked at me as if it was a rhetorical question. "Because if you're raised fine then you'd be a normal person with parents and a normal blader like every kid in the park; you wouldn't be you. If you haven't noticed every member of the Bladebreakers is much better because of the things they have to deal with and none of them have two normal parents with normal jobs. Tyson, Max, and Ray, who are their guardians?" I asked a very rhetorical question to them but was still answered.

"Tyson his grandpa, Max his mom and dad, Ray the rulers of the village and me, well on my own but I see you're point." I kissed him again.

"See the problems you face make you a better blader and closer to being who you wanted you're parents to be." I rested my head on his strong chest and realized that my strength was only defensive and was still causing him to lose strength but it's a wonder how he keeps getting stronger.

"You know what Emily?" Now he was the one who was asking out of the blank questions.

"No Kai, I have no clue what you are thinking about right now. Why do we ask that when we haven't been talking about anything. We can read thoughts but when you're mind is blank it's very hard." He put his over my mouth. He was of course relaxing.

"You're going to be a really great mother some day." He took his finger of my lips closed his eyes.

"You will be too Kai. Just promise me that it won't be for a while that we need to be. I don't think I'm ready now." He laughed at this. I stared at him after crossing my arms.

"Promise Emily; Not for a while." We fell asleep there because it was about 12 o'clock at night and we were tired from all the battles against each other.
