--------------

I'm sorry that I was really late on my last update and a bit busy lately with final exams, projects and such things. I am pretty upset because I won't be home on Friday, Saturday or Monday because. Friday at my friends, Saturday we're marching at Geauga Lake for Band, and Monday our band marches in memorial day parade but I should be able to catch up. Not good for those who love my fic 'Eternal Matchmaker'.

Chapter 19: Two New Couples

(Dani's Viewpoint) RARE!

I walked home with Andy and the night was beginning to get cold and I was shivering. All my clothes are back home in Kansas. I should have barrowed some from Emily. Andy looked at me. "Here, you look cold." Dani is wearing a tank top, and jeans.

I struggled to sat something back to him but it was hard enough to look at him. "Thanks, but don't you need it." He laughed, and I was a bit confused. Where was Kai from anyway, creepy quiet guy town?

"I live in Russia, it's much colder there, than here. I'm use to it but it seems that you live more south so you're not use to the cold air at night." I nodded, understanding that I wasn't exactly dressed for the weather here. Kansas was quiet a bit warmer than New York, who knew?

"So where do you live in Russia?" I asked following Kai's and Emily's commands, to get to know each other. It was just a small step, not too big; to be safe and secure. Kansas is very spread out and there aren't very many dangers like New York, Remember!

"I live in Moscow, Russia. It's very close to where Kai use to live. I wasn't in the Abbey like Kai but I knew his story and brought him from it. Him and my little sister, Angelica Stacy. My full name's Anthony Stacy, only Kai calls me Andy." I smiled and laughed. He looked at me amused.

"That's pretty funny because my real name is Daniela Lard. Dani is some mixed up name for Dani. It's just the first four letters so I don't make a big deal but how does Kai get Andy from Anthony?" Andy was laughing hysterically. He smiled and my the time we looked out we were at the Research Facility.

"So do you know where I'm sleeping because I've never left Russia, never the mention, been at the Research Facility." He looked at in a stage of amazement.

"I suppose you beyblade, correct?" He dug through his pocket and pulled out a beyblade that was a gold colored mouse. "Wow, it's amazing. What's it's name?"

"Loxsins, he's a golden mouse. He's pretty original as a bit-beast. Emily or Kai easily beat me during some practice battles before we left." I crashed into the chair at the dining room table. "What, what's so funny?"

"You suspected you could beat Emily and Kai. Emily's blade could tell you your weaknesses down to what metals clash with what ones on you're blade. Kai has the strength of 30 layers of solid concrete as thick as a Bey-dish's center." Andy nodded, and we walked down the hall. I stopped at our two rooms. "Oh, and this is my bit-beast Teri. I spelled it like Dani because it was funny to think about two things with non-phonetic spelled names and friends." He nodded. I held out my bit-beast in front of him. Teri is a deer that's green.

"So you have any siblings like my little sis Angelica back home in Russia? I'm just wondering but it looks like you deal with little kids a lot seeing how you dealt with Samantha's and Kaelan's outbreak. Although they aren't kids, they sure act like it." Kaelan and Samantha act like Hilary and Tyson because of Kaelan's cruelness and Samantha's sweet heart approach to everything.

"Yep, actually I do. His name is Charlie. I haven't seen him in years though. Some crazy guy said they had a perfect school for a genius like him and haven't seen him since. My parents have by they've never taken me. They said I'd 'Rune his Glory'. Ha, he doesn't need anymore spoiling." I felt tears coming down my face and tried to hide them from Andy. I pointed to the room across from mine. "It's you're room; bye."

"Good Night, Daniela. I'll see you in the morning." I nodded and tried to smile and he walked into his room, and me into mine. He seems really nice a sweet, and quiet cute. I'm glad Kai introduced us.

(Andy's Viewpoint)

I walked into my room and smiled out the moonlit window. It was a really nice night to go on a walk with Daniela. I'm sure she enjoyed it too; except for her getting cold like that. My jacket, duh, I'll ask for it back in the morning. Good-night.

knock "Andy, I forgot to give you you're jacket back. I realized that when I got into my pajamas a few seconds ago. Here." I took in and threw it on my bed.

"Thanks, I was just thinking about that. Are, are you crying?" She quickly wiped her face, with her sleeve and nodded.

"I was but I'm fine now. Nothing wrong, just a bit of home sickness, I guess." I nodded, knowing that it wasn't because I noticed that she was very quiet so if she was home sick she would be so calm and collected.

"Okay Daniela, good- night again; you should get some rest, that will help you feel better." She nodded and went into her room and I returned to mine. I looked at the bed and the jacket. She came back even being 'homesick' and gave it back. laugh She's pretty amazing, and she's really exciting a cutie.

(Morning)- I walked into the kitchen just to see Kai's and Emily's beyblade friends having breakfast as normal with an exception of a few other guests. Tyson, Hilary, Ray, and Mariah decided to stay here and Miriam and Max stayed in their rooms like normal. They did spend quite a bit of their time here. The other was a place somewhere that they disappeared as Dani had explained it which was explained to Emily.

"It's Kai's friend, um. Annie right?" I had a face that said what all over it. Annie, I think that even Kai has better names for his friends than this red haired joker here.

"Michael, right? My name's Anthony, I have no clue where Kai gets Andy from and where in the world you get Annie from but it's Anthony, okay. So what's for breakfast everyone?" Michael laughed as he pointed to the empty dining room table.

"huge sigh Let me guess, Tyson did this." It was a very girly voice behind me coming from the elevator.

"Yah, sorry guys. I'm sure you can get breakfast somewhere else. Tyson ate all of his and everyone else's food. Sorry again."

"I really needed something to eat. It's like what almost 7. I seriously need food." I heard a laugh from behind me.

"Forgetting something Anthony? We have breakfast plans for 8. So you'll have to wait and hour anyway. Let's get going?" I turned around to see Daniela dressed in pink shorts that went to here knees and a normal pink top.

"Oh yeah, see you guys. We're meeting Kai and Emily at their house for breakfast. See you later at their house." Everyone waved good-bye as Daniela and I set off to Kai's and Emily's house.

"So how did you sleep? I slept like a baby kitten. It was the most comfortable sleep I've had in a while. So how did you sleep?" She asked trying to be friendly and wonder how I slept seeing as I was a bit grouchy this morning.

"I slept great too, it was very comfortable. The warmth of the Research Facility is great compared to cold stone buildings back home. They are pretty drafty too. That's why the cold doesn't bother me." She laughed a cute little laugh and looked away.

"It sounds very much like you still live in the Dark Ages. The Gothic Style buildings with damp, cold houses. I'm surprised they haven't done anything nicer to places like that." I looked at her like she was crazy.

"Well now that you come to think about it, you're right. Nothing in Moscow has changed much since then except beyblading in stone dishes." She always seemed over joyful like Emily when I said beyblading.

"When we get to their house want to have a beyblade competition? I mean it would be fun. Since we both have bit-beasts and we both have been beaten by Kai and Emily. It would be fun, please." I thought about this as she joyfully waited for my response.

"Would you be disappointed if I said no?" She nodded, and made a sad puppy dog face. "Okay, since you're just too hard to resist. I barely know you and you can influence me, it's pretty scary, don't you think?"

She kept skipping along happily and smiled. "Actually nope, I think controlling people I don't know or barely know rocks. Then they don't seek revenge on me for influencing their decision." I laughed and she gave her happy, young child smile.

"How would you feel if I got revenge on you for forcing me to blade with you? Upset, angry, happy, sad, or what? How would you feel?" Daniela sat down on a tree stump on the yard that we were passing through and looked as though she was thinking very hard.

"I would be very content with that. I'd agree that I deserved that and do this." Daniela took off it a really fast pace run and then I ran into her with her sudden stop.

"What's up know Daniela? Why'd ya stop? There's no sign, light, or car here." Daniela's expression became blank and terrified. She just pointed out into the street as they picked up a stretcher with a boy seemingly about Samantha and Kaelan's age on it covered up by a white sheet.

She came crashing into my arms in tears. It must have been very upsetting to see a dead child being carried away from a car accident. I found it very upsetting but Daniela was a girl who was more than her lifetime full of emotions.

"It's okay Daniela, let's go. It's not good for you to see this if it upsets you so much." I tried to get her to move on but she fell to her knees on the ground and cried. I didn't know what to do. She was an emotional wreck. I'd call Kai and Emily.

"Hey Emily, I have a question to ask you."

'Sure Andy, shoot away. What is it?'

"What do you do when Daniela falls to the ground and won't move?"

'What's wrong with her?' Emily started yelling at the top of her lungs, scared to death.

"She's fine, Emily. There was this boy on the road, got hit by a car and is dead."

Emily broke out in tears and dropped the phone. 'Hello, Andy. What did you tell Emily?' It was Kai. Great, he might know what to do anyway.

"Dani's in a tear fit over a boy who got killed on the side of the road. She won't move or get up. I need advice or something."

'Hm, deal with it yourself.'

At least Kai's still himself. Now what to do? I knelt down at Daniela's side and lifted up her head and looked at her in tears. "Daniela, did you know him?"

"I don't know him, I don't think. I don't know barely anyone here but it's just so sad how dangerous it is here; Like Kansas was." Like Kansas, Emily describes Kansas as safe and protective.

"Tell me why this upsets you so much, Daniela. I need to know, how to help you when you're like this." She came into my arms. It was very embarrassing and she just cried and cried. I helped her get to her feet.

"Charlie, my brother," That was all her mouth could utter, without bringing more and more tears. I held her close to me like I would do with my sister, Angelica. Angelica was just like Daniela except Angelica was not as emotional but very emotional none the less.

"It wasn't you're brother, Daniela. You're brother's far away. He's not dead, he's alive. I'm sorry but we can't bring him here for you. I'm sorry." I didn't know what else to do but to comfort her.

After a while we arrived at Kai's and Emily's house and there was a note on the door.

-Dani/Andy

We're here. 50 Hospital Rd. New York City, New York. Rm. 525

-Emily

P.S.: Thank Dani for telling us.

"Telling them what? What does everyone know that I don't?" Dani looked at the address and broke down again. This time it was strange. She grabbed my arm, shoved me in her car, and then drove away to the address.

Daniela jumped out of the car and ran into the hospital to the room that Emily wrote down on the paper. Then she saw something as I could see and fainted. I slowly walked to the room and looked at the person on the bed of the hospital.

It wasn't even a person, just the person that had been hit by the car. There was someone nearby crying on the bedside of the bed. I recognized this girl to be Samantha. She was crying hard like Daniela.

"What is going on that I don't know!" I screamed and Daniela kicked me hard in the shin. She gave me a mean stare and went to Samantha's side and they both cried. "What's going on!" I said falling into a chair behind me.

"It's like him, Andy. Poor, poor, him." I looked to the origin of the voice. It was Emily across the room, she was in Kai's arms like Daniela was to me, except she was laying her head on his lap. He just sat there looking at the screen.

The doctor came in and took the body and disappeared and Daniela and Samantha rose and sat in the chairs and comforted each other. I had no clue where Kaelan was but he should be here comforting Samantha.

"Where's Kaelan, he should be here comforting Samantha. I mean, what kind of boyfriend would leave his girlfriend here crying." Samantha and Daniela looked up and Samantha had a very big happy smile on her face.

"Kaelan, he's good for nothing huh. I guess so. He's on a very long trip for himself, he'll be back soon. I just have to wait, then he'll be here to comfort me." I nodded, I understood when people had to be somewhere for a job and what not.

"I still think he should be here though. I mean whoever this person is, he's one of Kaelan's friends right? Kaelan should be here to comfort you and help with this person's death." Samantha was now calmed.

"I don't know that person either Andy. It's just someone who was in the wrong place at the wrong time; stupid drunk drivers, and crazy boys, running across the street. It's pretty sad. I guess we all can go home now. I mean now that we honored the boy we can say good-bye and go home." Emily and Kai nodded and Daniela looked at the hallway the body was taken and turned her head again.

"It's okay Daniela, he's just a boy who accidentally but a hand of horrible fate had to die. It was a bad hand and he didn't deserve it but it's okay. Right?" She nodded and rested her head on my shoulder.

"I'm going to have a talk with Mr. Dickinson about stuff. I'll be back soon. Okay?" Daniela looked at me as well as Sam.

"Check to see when Kaelan's coming home for dinner. He's been gone a while. I'm sure he's surely improving a lot since our last battle with the new blade Em repaired for him." I nodded and Daniela looked at me.

"Be careful, you wouldn't want to end up like the poor little kid that got hit by the car, would you. Leaving his friend and such. We'd kill you if that happened to you, especially after this." I nodded. Daniela looked at me. "Be safe."

"I promise I would end up like that little kid who got killed by drunk drivers that caused you all to be a nervous wreck. He should be ashamed of himself for make you guys this much of an emotional and a nervous wreck. Calm it by the time I come back, okay?" Samantha jumped up and walked around.

"Okay but don't forget that you owe Dani a Bey- match when you get back. You wouldn't wan to forsake you're girlfriend like Kaelan did to me today."

"You've got it Sam. I wouldn't do that to my….what?" Sam slams the door on my face and locks me out of the house and the girls laugh and run around. Emily fell asleep on Kai's lap again.

Daniela and I a couple? I didn't think we were but I mean we could be for what it counts. I mean that makes sense after what happened today. I guess that's what part of being a boyfriend is. I mean look at Kai. When Em can't walk he carries her, he risks his own life for her. It's all about caring for each other. But Em and Kai aren't a good example of boyfriend and girlfriend because they're engaged which is way beyond a normal couple.

I wonder what kind of blade that Kaelan has that he's been working on so much that he can't even leave to see a guy that he doesn't know. Now that I hear this, I'm not sure I would go see a dead body of someone I don't know. It sounds pretty creepy.

--

So sorry, but I have to cut this short so you can find out a little part about where Kaelan is, who exactly is the boy that Daniela is so fond of and cries over for the rest of this story. Why is everyone but Andy involved on this and such.

Anieca, signing off. Remember chapter is late on Saturday because of Friends, memorial day and such. So dun, dun, dun!
