Taiy-Chan: You guys are lucky. I'm bored AGAIN today. So I'm writing this chapter.
Thanks to all of my reviewers, you guys deserve some Taiy plushies!
But a special thanks goes out to Phoenix from the Flames-2 for guessing what the F in Beyblade F Fusion stands for. Sadly, all of your guesses were wrong. Keep trying!
And, on with this chapter!
Don't own nothing.
Chapter 10
Traveling
"We're back!" the loud call jolted Taiy awake, the boy shooting up from bed into a sitting position.
"Wha...?" he mumbled intelligently, rubbing his eyes.
"We must've fallen asleep."
"God, I'm so tired!"
"Yeah, I feel like I've been run over by a bus."
"That wouldn't be a first."
"The others must've just gotten back."
"We should go out there and see if we won the match."
"Of course we won the match. Otherwise, Tyson wouldn't sound so cheery. And plus, we still remember bits and pieces of it, right?"
"Yeah, true. From what I remember, we were flattening Lee."
"Same here."
"Seems like we all finally agree on something."
"Go us! Go Taiy!"
"We should go apologize to them."
"For what?"
"I dunno, but I think we spazed at them..."
"True. Okay, let's get up."
Taiy pushed himself from his bed, dragging his feet over the carpeted floor, yawning.
"Damn it! Why are we so tired!"
"Maybe we used up a lot of energy."
"That makes sense."
Opening the door to his room, Taiy walked out, making his way slowly to the living room of their small apartment. There, his other team mates sat on the plush couches, talking and laughing loudly.
Max looked up as Taiy came in.
"Hey there bud. How ya feeling?" he asked as Taiy sat down opposite to him.
Taiy yawned again, smiling.
"Really tired." He answered.
His smile quickly faded.
"So, what exactly happened in my match against Lee?" he asked.
Taiy's team stared at him.
"Well.." Hilary started. "You mean you don't remember?"
Taiy shook his head.
The other Bladebreakers looked at each other. So something did happen to Taiy. But what was it? And why? Did it have something to do with their fusion?
Kenny sighed, pushing his glasses up higher on his nose.
"Okay, I guess we'll have to tell you. Basically..."
Ten minutes later, Taiy was filled in.
The boy frowned.
"What does this mean?"
"I have a guess."
"You can always count on Kai to have the answers."
"Because I'm the only one with half a brain in this mind."
"You only have half a brain!"
"It's a saying, idiot."
"Oh.."
"So what do you think happened, Kai? Cause, if you think about it, this is kinda.. well, scary. I mean, loosing control like that? What'll we do if it happens again?"
"We can talk about this later. Right now..."
"So, we're gonna party!" Tyson shouted, jumping to his feet, grinning from ear to ear.
Max smiled also, getting up as well to race Tyson to the phone.
"Let's order pizza!" the blond shouted.
"Looks like he's feeling better." Taiy muttered.
Kenny just shook his head.
Twenty minutes later, the Bladebreakers were feasting on a steaming pepperoni pizza(somehow, they convinced Tyson not to order every single topping you could get)
"Oh yeah.." Tyson sighed, leaning back against the couch. "This is so the life..." He patted his bloated stomach happily.
Max nodded, grinning from ear to ear.
"Nothing ever beats a good pizza." he agreed.
Taiy lay back on the soft carpet, closing his eyes.
"Yum.. That was good..."
"I am so full.. Why'd we eat so much again?"
"Cause we were hungry?"
"I think I'm going to explode..."
"Oh stop complaining, oh fearless leader."
"Humph..."
Taiy opened his eyes lazily, staring at the ceiling. He yawned, man, he sure was tired. It had been a long day...
"When are we leaving for Canada tomorrow?" he asked suddenly.
Kenny pushed his glasses further up his nose.
"We have to be at the airport by eight o'clock to be able to get on our flight by ten." he answered.
Taiy nodded.
"Canada... Never been there before." Hilary muttered.
Kenny nodded.
"This year is the first that Canada has hosted the World Championships and participated in it." he said matter-of-factly.
Tyson glanced at the brunette.
"Who are the best in Canada?"
Kenny shrugged.
"I couldn't get much information on them. I have no clue who they are."
Tyson sighed.
"Well, I'm going to bed.. I'm beat.."
Taiy got to his feet, stretching.
"You better be up by seven tomorrow, Tyson. Or I'm gonna kill you." with that, he left for his room.
Tyson grumbled to himself as he got up also.
"What does he expect when he asks me to get up at the crack of dawn?"
Max, Kenny and Hilary just shook their heads.
Taiy groggily opened his eyes, blinking slowly as the sun hit his face. The teen pulled himself into a sitting position, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"Waa.. Morning already? It feels like we only JUST closed our eyes..."
"We must have been really tired."
Taiy glanced at his bed side clock. The digital numbers read 6:55am.
"We better get dressed."
Taiy hauled himself out of bed, nearly falling over. He shuffled over to the dresser, dragging his feet tiredly.
The dark haired teen picked his clothes out, changing, with great difficulty, from his pajamas.
"Damn it, it's really hard to change when you're still half asleep..."
"Tell me about it. We put our shirt on backwards three times already."
Finally, Taiy managed to get his clothes in order.
He wore a black t-shirt that sported the words: My Chemical Romance on it in white. His dark jeans were kept loosely up by his studded black belt, a chain hung around the side of his pants.
Taiy stretched, groaning as his bones cracked.
Running a hand through his hair, he managed to stumble over to his bedroom door and out to the hallway. Glancing around, he realized that no one was up yet. Or, at least, no one was out of their room but him.
"We're gonna end up killing ourselves if we don't fully wake up soon."
Taiygrumbled himself quietly as he entered the kitchen, grabbing the cereal from the counter and pouring it into a bowl. He took the milk from the fridge and poured it over the cereal, moving as if he was in a trance.
The rest of the team were up by the time our little Taiy had finished his breakfast.
As he stood and made to leave the room, he said over his shoulder:
"Oh, and Tyson. Don't empty the fridge, we have to be down there, ready, in five minutes."
Taiy heard Tyson grumble to himself as he left. He shook his head, chuckling.
The Bladebreakers made it to the airport on time, by some sort of miracle. Tyson had just got to the limo with a piece of toast hanging half way out of his mouth.
Now, they found themselves sitting in the comfy seats of their airplane's first class section.
Taiy sank into his seat, leaning his head against the side of the plane, looking blankly out of the small, plastic window.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We will be taking off shortly. Enjoy your flight."
Taiy yawned.
"I think I'm gonna sleep the whole way there."
"How long does it take to get to Canada from China anyways?"
"It'll probably take the whole day."
Taiy sat up suddenly, nearly falling out of his seat.
"WHAT!"
"I said: It'll probab-"
"We heard you! Are you serious!"
"Why wouldn't I be?"
"That is a long time. I think it'll be the longest plane ride we've ever taken!"
"That is a whole SHIT LOAD of time!"
"I know. Sucks, doesn't it? Meh.At least we're first class."
"True."
"But what the hell are we supposed to do all that time!"
"Well, Kenny's probably going to be on Dizzy. Hilary.. Well, who cares. Max will be too high on sugar to notice and Tyson will eat and sleep."
"What are we going to do?"
"Yeah, I'm bored already and we haven't even taken off yet!"
"Well, I think this is the perfect opportunity to talk about what happened yesterday at the finals."
"Good idea."
"Good morning, I'm Billy Lowe and I will be your captain on this flight from Hong Kong, China to Toronto, Canada. This flight will take approximately sixteen hours and forty-four minutes. Please fasten your seatbelts, we're about to take off. Enjoy your flight."
Taiy reached down and buckled up his seatbelt, turning to look out the window again as the plane slowly started to move.
"Well, at least it's not as long as I thought."
"'Not as long'? 'Not as long'! We have to be stuck here, sitting on our ass for sixteen fucking ours and forty-fucking-four minutes!"
"Hey, it could be worse. It could be twenty fucking hours and forty-fucking-four minutes."
"Well, I don't like staying still for a long time, smart ass."
"Oh, calm down, Tala. Canada is on the other side of the world. Of course it will take a long time to get there! And plus, we have to talk, right Kai?"
"Ray's right."
"Okay, fine. But when I get bored, don't start spazing out at me."
"Whatever. Anyways, back to the important matters. Something happened yesterday in our match against Lee. All we remember is going up to the dish and the rest are just flashes. Then, we wake up to find ourselves back in our hotel room."
"It's really strange. My head hurt a lot."
"Tell me about it. I doubted all of the Aspirins in the world could cure that headache."
"Well, it's gone now. So, moving on, does anybody have a clue on why or how this happened?"
"I haven't the foggiest idea."
"I still haven't figured it out either."
"Kai, didn't you say you had an idea?"
"Yeah."
"Then why don't you tell us."
"I was just wondering if you guys had something in mind."
"Well, obviously, we don't. So go on. Tell us your theory."
"We all know that it must have had something to do with our fusion, right?"
"Yeah."
"Good. Did it ever occur to you two how it's strange that our bodies were merged and our bit-beasts were merged, but no our actual minds?"
"I haven't really thought about it. Lots of things have happened."
"Yeah."
"So, go on."
"I was thinking, that... What if, during our match with Lee, our minds merged and we forgot who we were?"
"That does make sense."
"But why are we still separate now though? Why didn't our minds stay together?"
"I don't know. But I don't think that we should let it happen ever again."
"You're right."
"I'm with you on that one."
"The whole idea about it gives me a bad feeling..."
"Explain."
"I dunno.. I just feel that, maybe, if it happens again.. Well, we might not change back."
"All the more reason to get to the bottom of this ASAP."
"Yes. Tala's right. Once we get to Russia, we have to find Boris."
"Are you sure we'll make it that far?"
"Ray, we're Taiy. No one can beat us."
Taiy found himself fast asleep a short time after the three finished talking. When he woke up, he had a terrible cramp in his neck and had to wipe drool from his chin.
He looked up at the screen above him. According to the map, they were halfway there.
"Thank God! I'm dying here!"
"We still have about eight more hours to go, Tal."
"At least we slept for most of the time."
"We were pretty tired."
"At least something good came out of merging our minds together."
"What are the others doing?"
Taiy's ice blue eyes swept around him, drifting from Tyson to Max to Kenny and, finally to Hilary.
Tyson was leaning back in his chair snoring loudly, mouth open and a sea of drool spilling down his mouth. Taiy cringed, making a disgusted face.
Max was asleep too, though, his mouth was closed, his blond head dipped to his chest.
Kenny, as predicted, was typing away on Dizzy, pausing every so often to crack his knuckles or take a sip of his drink.
Hilary was busy reading a gossip magazine, chewing on a piece of gum.
Taiy sighed and stretched, closing his eyes.
"At least we haven't crashed yet." He joked.
Just as he said that, as if it were waiting for it, the plane gave a violent lurch, throwing Taiy forward. The blue eyed teen caught himself and sat back in his seat, eyes wide.
"Damn it! We should've knocked on wood!"
"There is no wood on a plane, Tala! It's made of plastic and metal!"
"Oh God, oh God, oh God..."
The seatbelt sign came on, a loud sound making all of the passengers look up.
Taiy quickly fastened his seat belt.
"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is your captain. Don't worry, we're not about to crash. We're just experiencing mild turbulence. Please buckle up your seatbelts. This should last for about ten minutes. Thank you."
Taiy sighed in relief.
"Thank God! I thought we were gonna die!"
"Don't be such a drama queen, Tala."
"Well, I'm sorry if I actually fear for my life!"
"Cut it out you two. I'm tired. Let's go to sleep."
"Fine."
When Taiy awoke again, it was dark outside of the plane's windows. Taiy leaned over to peer through the plastic, looking down. He could see lights below him.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Billy. We are going to be landing, please put on your seat belts. Thank you."
Taiy watched as the lights slowly got bigger as they descended. The rest of his team were talking excitedly to one another, trying to look out their window at the same time.
The plane jolted as it's wheels touched the paved ground. Then, they were moving smoothly over the gravel. All in all, it had been a good landing. Taiy started clapping, the rest of the passengers soon following suit.
"Did you know, that if you're flying from Jamaica, all of them would clap even if it was a really bad landing just cause they were alive?"
"Well, I'd feel the same too. There are too many movies about planes that crash."
"True."
Thirty minutes later, the Bladebreakers found themselves walking outside of Toronto's Person Airport, looking around as many taxis lined up the road.
Taiy smiled, letting the cool, fresh air his his face, taking a deep breath.
"Canada," he said, the wind playing with his streaked hair. "Prepare to be boarded!"
Taiy-Chan: Wow. That was the longest conversation Taiy had ever had with himself...
So, how was it? Bout time I updated, huh? I have a good excuse this time! I was at the cottage for a whole week. Yes, that's it, pity me!
Anyways, hope you liked this chapter.
Those of you who don't live in Canada shall find out more about the awesome Great White North in the next following chapters, since, as you already know, I live there. Near Toronto too.
The time it took to get from Hong Kong to Toronto(16 hours and 44 minutes) is actually right. Heh. I looked it up.
Damn it! School starts in two days! Waa! High School! Somebody take me away! (cries and glomps Taiy)
Taiy: (sigh) (gingerly pats Taiy-Chan on her back)
Taiy-Chan: (pulls away from Taiy to face readers) So, what adventures await Taiy in Canada? A new place to explore, and some people that you've heard of before! Stay tuned for the next chapter of...
BEYBLADE F FUSION!
