O.k. ok. I'm sort of juggling fics right now. I got 3 going at the same time, but I'm good.

I'm finally putting up the next chapter to this. I am SO sorry for the wait.

Disclaimer: I do not own beyblade. Now where was I? Oh, yeah!

Kai and Mariah were beside the fountain. What is she doing with Kai? Ray thought. "Hey, Mariah!" Ray waved and walked over to them. Kai quickly dropped his smile. "What are you doing here?" Ray hugged Mariah.

"I came to see someone." she responded. "Who?" Tyson joined the conversation. Mariah looked at Kai who strugged. "I came to see Kai." she admited. Ray, Tyson, and Max got a weird look on their faces as if saying 'What the...'

"You came to see Kai? Why?" Ray asked suspiously while raising an eyebrow. "Can we please go inside, I'm getting tired of standing up." she asked. "Yeah, sure." Tyson led them inside the hotel. Taking the elevator, Kai whispered something to Mariah and she burst into fits of giggles. This made Ray angry? No, that wasn't the word, jealous? Yeah, that's it.

He stared at them as they whispered back and foward. Kai didn't smile or anything though, but it looked like Mariah was having a lot of fun. Chill, Ray, just chill. he tried to calm himself. The elevator door opened and they all walked back to the room.

Max and Tyson were sitting on their bed, Ray sat on a chair beside the door, Kai preferd the wall and Mariah preferd standing next to Kai. "So, Mariah? You still didn't answer my question." Ray folded his arms. "What question?"she cocked her head to the side. "Why are you here to see Kai? You don't even like him." Mariah was a little mad that Ray would say something like that, but then again he did steal her bitbeast.

And she did hate him for a while. "Well, here's what happened. To make a long story short, we met back in Russia at The Moscow Fair somewhere around last year. Lee didn't want to go so I went by myself. Anyways, everywhere I went it was like Kai was right there. At first I thought he was stalking me,but he was thinking the same thing. See this was a huge fair! It was easy to get lost in, you wouldn't just find the same person over and over. It was pretty weird."

"Yeah, that is weird, Kai, at a fair?" Tyson commented. Kai glared at him. Mariah laughed which made Kai drop his glare and almost, sort of, kind of, in a way smile. "Yeah, that's what I was thinking." Mariah agreed with Tyson. Then she looked innocently up at Kai, who just stared back at her.

Ray was not amused. He glared at Kai, even though Kai was to busy looking at Mariah to notice. It was quiet for a little while. Max and Tyson looked at each other and smiled. It was the kind of smile that ment they were thinking, something they didn't normally do, about something good for some people and bad for others.

"So, Mariah, when did you and Kai start dating?" Tyson asked. Ray's mouth dropped. Dating! Their dating! he was going insane on the inside, but looked totally find on the outside. "No! You got the wrong idea, we're not dating, just friends." You don't know how relieved Ray was to here that.

"Oh, well you guys should date. Are you thinking about it?" Max asked. "No, me and Kai are friends and nothings going to change that." she asured them. "Yep, that's what my cousin said, but two months later we heard that she was married and pregnant." Max told his story. Ray had heard enough, if anybody was going to marry Mariah, it was going to be him.

"Tyson, Max, give it a rest already they said they were only friends!" he shouted. "Gee, Ray we were only joking." Tyson watched Ray walk over to his bed and lay down not facing them. "What's eating him?" Mariah asked. Max and Tyson strugged. Mariah walked away from Kai and went to sit on Ray's bed. She looked at his face.

His eyes were closed, but she knew he couldn't have gone to sleep that fast. "Ray, what's wrong?" she asked him. He opened his eyes and stared at her. He just shook his head. "Nothing, just sleepy." he lied. Mariah smiled at him, he smiled back. Then she got up and walked back to Kai.

"Well, you guys I have to go." Mariah announced. Half way to the door Kai stopped her, "Mariah." he handed her the note from earlier. She started to open it. "No!" he shouted. "Open it when you get to your room, then call me on my cell." he told her.

"Why would I call you, I'm just coming from here." he made no since to her. "Trust me, you're gonna want to." he told her. Ray bald up his fist. I got to get that note. I wonder what's it about. Ray thought. "Bye, Kai." Mariah gave him a flirty smile. "Bye." Kai couldn't hold it back any more he... smiled. Then Mariah walked out.

"Ah... what's all this then?" Tyson raised an eyebrow."Kai... smiled."Max teased. "Come on, we won't tell. Do you like Mariah?" Max asked. Kai thought about ti for a while. (A/N:Warning! This is very un-Kai-like!)

"Well, I guess I could tell you." Tyson and Max were beyond shock. "Tell us!" they shouted. "O.k.,but you can't tell anybody. Got that, Ray!" Kai shouted at Ray. "What ever, I don't care about you or your love life!" he shouted back.

"Oh well, foreget about him." Kai said. "Anyways, to answer your question, I guess I like her." he admited. "That note that I gave her said:

Dear Mariah,

We've been friend for a long time. I feel that there's more between us than just friendship. So I was just wondering if you would go out with me?"

"Oh, I knew it was a love note!" Tyson yelled. "Kai, whoa, dude, seriously." Kai and Tyson looked at Max weird. "Um... o.k..."was all Kai said. Mean while, Ray was fuming with anger. How dare he! He can't just come up in here and steal my girl! Ray thought furiously. What am I gonna do! he thought it over for a few minutes, tring to block out Tyson, Max, and Kai's talking. Oh, I got it. How bout I give my old friend Lee a call, he would love to know someone's putting to moves on his little sister...Ray thought evilly.

So, there it is. I hope you liked it. I'm sorry if you think it's short, but I'm going to try to hve the next chapter up sooner. Please reveiw and tell me what you think.
