Lady J: Would you just get on with it! Mariah, please do the disclaimer before she starts talking again.

Mariah: O.k.Jashomara does not own any beyblade so yuo can't sue.


The limozine ride. The Blade Beakers plus Mariah and Mr. Dickingson were in the back of the limo while their showfur (A/N: Please exuse my spelling.), Dimes, an elderly English man, drove them to their destination. They had packed all their swim gear and stuff, which was in the trunk. Tyson was the most excided because were there's a beach there's icecream!

Ray and Max were going to attempt to surf with their new surf boards. Tyson kept asking why they even bought it when they don't know the first thing about surfing. He didn't think they even knew how to swim! "Dude, this is going to be like, so much fun!" Max was trying out the surfer dude talk.

"Oh, my God." Mariah shook her head. Then a thought came to her mind. "Hey! Mr. Dickingson I don't have a swimsuit!" she realized. "Oh, well that is a problem." he pondered over it for a minute before looking at Dimes through the window and saying, "Dimes, do you mind taking us to the nearest mall?" he asked politly. "Will do, sir." he said with his English accent.

"Thanks, Mr. D." Mariah looked out the window enjoying the sights. Kai was over on the other side trying to keep his mind from picturing Mariah in a swimsuit. Kai kept staring at her. Those eyes honey golden eyes of hers. I could stare into them all day. And that shape, the way that shirt hugs her. he breath in and bit his bottom lip.

Those lips, those full, luscious, glosy, beautiful... wait a minute! Hold the bloody dialer. (A/N: Translation: hold the phone!) Why am I staring at her! And why am I discribing her!

Because, you want her. said a small voice in his head.

I do not want her, she's annoying, she's a pest, she's...

Beautiful... the voice taunted.

No, I didn't think that!

But you were going to. You wanna be with her. You know it. The reason you were discibing her body, is because you want it. Kai's inner bad boy was playing with him.

No, no! I don't want her, not because I like her body anyway.You know what I shouldn't even be talking to you! You're just a voice in my head. Wait a minute! Am I going crazy?

Must be, you're asking yourself a lot of questions.

You know what? Shut up!

Kai was and looked frustrated. "Kai?" Mariah asked. He looked up at her then back down at his feet. "Are you o.k.?"

"Yeah, just fine." he said in a mean way. "Sorry, just asking. You look confued." she stated. Kai folded his arms and closed his eyes. "Fine be that way. Humph!" Hm... wonder if I bothered him to much. O.k. I'll give him a break. Mariah sat quietly the whole ride to the mall. Dimes dropped them off at the entrance then went to find a parking place.

The mall was huge and it looked expencive. They walk in and Mariah freaked out. "Wow! This place is great! Let's go here." she grabbed Ray by the hand and dragged him into some girl store. Kai was sort of glad, yet sad that she didn't drag him into the store."Oh, my God. These clothes are beautiful!" he heard her yell.

People from all parts of that section of the mall were looking at her. "Please exuse her she doesn't get out much!" Tyson yelled so everyone woundn't think she was completely weird. "Oh, Ray can you buy me this, please? I just gotta have it!" she held up a red,one-sleeved shirt and blue pants with red seams to match.

She gave Ray the 'poor helpless kitten' face. "Pweeeease." she stuck out her botom lip.Can't... resist...cuteness. Ray gave in. "O.k. please just stop with the face!"he gave her some money. "Um... Ray that's not enough." she drew imaginary circles on the floor with her foot. "What do you mean? I gave you $40.00!" he throw his hands in the air.

" Ray this si Paris. It's $70.00." Ray's eyes widened. "No way! I'm not paying! You came here to get a swimsuit!" Mariah's eyes started to water. "You yelled at me." her bottem lip trembled. "No, no! Don't cry, please." he begged. "O.k. here, you can have the money." he handed her some more money.Her face brighten.

"Thank you, Ravy! Your so sweet!" she hugged him. "Hey! how come I never get a hug." Tyson pouted. "O.k. Tyson, I'll give you a hug after you buy me the next outfit I want." Mariah went to pay forher things. "What?" Tyson screwed his face. "Hey, Tyson at lease you get a hug." Max teased. They went around the whole store buying Mariah outfits and thing. Max, Tyson, and Ray payed for everything she bought and were sort of running low on cash.

They were the ones carring the bags too. Mr. Dickingson had gotten tired and went to the limo."Oh... Raaaavyyyy!" Mariah called. Ray had lost his cool. He couldn't take it any more. Droping the bags on the ground, he looked Mariah dead in the eyes. "I'm not buying you any more stuff." he said fermly. "We came here to get you a swimsuit! That's what you're going to buy! You know what Mariah? At first it was o.k., your new attitude and all, but now it's just plain anoying! You're driving everybody crazy!" he yelled at her. Her eyes started to water.

"Don't even start with those fake tears!" Ray was being really harsh on her. "Um... yeah, Mariah I don't mean to side with Ray, but come on! First you barge into our vacation house and demand to stay there, then you steal Kai's room and clothes, and now you want us to pay for all your junk!" Max yelled, and guess what. He wasn't smiling for once.

Tyson just nodded in agreement. By now a lot of people had stopped what they were doing and were watching them. Mariah's fake tears had turned into real one's. "You know, I was expecting something like that from Kai -sniff-, but I thought you guys liked me!" she stopped and wiped some of her tears with her sleeve. "I was only playing, I was gonna pay you back after, but you know what here!" she handed Ray an envelope and then ran off.

Kai just stood there with his arms folded.Should I go after her? he continplated. No, not now.

Ray opened the envelope. It had money and a letter inside. He unfolded the letter and read it out loud:

Dear Ray, Tyson, and Max,

I just wanted to thank you for being real frinds and paying for all my stuff even though you didn't want to and spent almost all of your money. I know I'm been a real pain lately, but thanks for putting up with me.

Your good friend,

Mariah

"O.k. now I feel bad." Tyson frowned. "Come on, let's go look for her."They all seperated to go and look for her.They spent an hour serching everywhere. At sometimes all of them would meet up at the same place.Finally, they met up at the entrance to the mall. "O.k. I'm going to jump out on a limb and say she not at the mall anymore." Max said. The boys walked to the limo and got in. Earlier, they told Mr. Dickingson to go ahead and leave because they were going to look for Mariah. Later they called back and told him they were ready to go.

Man, I should went after her earlier. I'm so stupid. Wait, why am I caring about her?Kai asked himself. What has she done to me? At first I didn't care about anyone, but me then she comes along. Could I actually be falling for her? No, that's crazy. Kai countinued to think to himself.

Ray had his own problems. I'm supose to be her friend and there I was yelling at her. She was only having a little fun. Now, she's never going to like me. Ray looked sad. "Hey, it's o.k. maybe she's at the house." Max put a comforting hand on his shoulder. Ray nodded.

At the house. It was almost night. The sky was a pretty pinkish-orange. The Blade Breakers were still worring about Mariah.

In a park somewhere. A red haired Russia and Mariah were talking sitting on a beach. Mariah still had tears in her eyes. "You know, I'm not supose to be here." he said. "I don't care. Tell the master that I don't want to do this any more." she complained. "You have to, if you ever want to see your family again." she looked up at him. "Was that a treat?" she started to get her attitude back. "No, more like a warning." he said smoothly. "Tala, I told you, don't play with me."

"What, you gonna do? Bite me?" he stood up and smirked. Mariah stood up. She was short compared to him. Mariah glared at him for a second then smirked back. There were a lot of people in the park. An idea started to forn in Mariah's head, and evil one. (Have you known her to think any other kind?)

Tala was confused by her smile. He was even more baffled when she started crying very loudly. "How could you, Tala? After all the years I spent with you. You're gonna domp me for her and leave me pregnant with your baby? My mom and dad even kicked me out of the house because I told them that I wouldn't leave you and this is how you repay me?" People were givingTala death galres. He looked around nervously.

"Mariah what are you doing!" he yelled through his teeth.She looked up at him. "No, please don't hit me. I've had enough from last night! No more! Please!" by now Mariah was on her knees pretending to beg. People started to gather around, looking like they were about to jump poor Tala.

"O.k. o.k. Mariah stop!"she looked up at him. "Say you love me and you won't leave." she stood up and looked him in the eyes. "O.k." Tala grabbed her hand, but she snatched it back. "Say it!" she comanded. "O.k. I love you, I won't leave you!" he yelled. Mariah stopped crying. "See was that so hard?" she started walking happily away, cligging to Tala's arm and leaving the nosy people to their thoughts.

"Ah... that'll be one for my book." Tala glared at her. "What book." he spat. "Oh, it's called '101 ways to Tourment People, Causing Complete Kayous and Destruction.' " Tala looked at her weird. "You are a strang little girl." he told her. It was a couple moments of silents.

"So... can I tell you something Tala?" Mariah asked. "What?" Tala didn't really act all nice and stuff around any one else, just Mariah, she had that effect on people. "I think, I might be falling for Kai." Tala stopped in his tracks. "Mariah, you know what will happen if you don't complete the mission."

"Um... again with the warnings? Do you want me to make another dramatic scene?" she warned him. "No, Mariah, what I'm trying to say is, you have to make a choise. It's your family and friend or Kai." Mariah put her head down. "I don't wanna choose." she rest her head on Tala's shoulder. "I'm sorry."

Mariah thought for a little while. They just kept walking along down the side walk. The street light had already came on. "Tell the master to meet me where we planned tomarrow, I'll have Kai there." she frowned. "He said 4 days." the red head told her. "Well, tell him I said tomorrow." he shook his head. "You are so stubborn." Mariah smiled. "Wanna go for icecream?" he asked. She nodded and they walked to and icecream shop.


I'm finished! Finally! I know thereweren't anyKai and Mariah scenes, but trust me there will be plenty in the next one. Oh, and can you guess who the creepy voice was? It's not Tala.
