Note: Hey guys, I've decided to put Everlasting Falls on hold, because I wanna concentrate on my other stories. Plus, I'm actually thinking of rewriting it. Anyways, thanks Clio36250 for telling me my mistake. I'm going to correct it.....eventually.


Skip The Nutritious Meal

----------

Cafeteria, Third Person's POV

"Hiwatari, are you ever going to surrender that book?!" Bryan asked through gritted teeth.

Kai, Bryan, Ray, Max, Tyson, Alison, Felicia, Mariah, Emily, and Hilary were all sitting together and absorbing facts and bits about knowledge of marriage and relationships and junk. Bryan had just finished reading 'Karma in Marriage' and wanted to read the book Kai was reading, which the bluenette seemed to reading the 3rd chapter over and over again.

Kai answered absently "No, sorry. It just so happens that this part about the 'Healthy meals for pregnant ladies' is just fascinating!" He grinned and continued burying his nose in the book.

"Ladies and gentlemen, may I please have our attention!" Mr. Marshall commanded as he stood in front of the cafeteria with a big smile on his face. The kids lifted their heads out the books they were reading and listened to him talk.

"A student of mine came to me just yesterday, and proposed the idea of serving 'a healthy balance diet' for our precious 15 year olds that are doing the project. Bless him, he gave such an adorable speech on 'if we're doing this project, then we should do the things as a way of life'. Anyhow, until we're done all done with the Project, we will be having a healthy diet that all 'pregnant ladies' have while the 'fathers' will have a vegetation diet. Okay then, serve the dishes people!" He snapped his fingers.

Men and women dressed in chef outfits came with silver plates filled with all that....green stuff...and put it on every cafeteria table (including the one where Hilary and the rest were). Then, they grinned like the Cheshire Cat and walked away.

"Dig in ladies and gentlemen!" Mr. Marshall exclaimed with a happy look and walked back to the table where the other teachers were sitting.

And all the students just stared at the food with a dumbfounded look on their face.

----------

Felicia's POV

The cafeteria was ever so silent.

Until......

I, Tyson, Ray, Mariah, Max, Emily, Alison, Hilary, and Bryan all turned to the bluenette who was munching on his celery with death glares on their faces.

"Hiwatari." Bryan growled through gritted teeth.

"Yeah?" Kai looked up from his food.

"You were the one who suggested the diet right." I said, it came out like a statement more than a question.

"Um........yeah?" Kai answered sheepishly.

Bryan's eyes narrowed "I'll give you a 3 second head start. 1...2...3!" He got up from his chair and started chasing Kai around the cafeteria.

Mariah had a pondering look on her face "You think we should help Kai?"

I turned to look at Kai and Bryan, then shook my head and answered "Nah. They seem to be doing okay." I smiled and started to stab the........orange stuff.

All the while ignoring everyone who was staring at me.

----------

Classroom, Hilary's POV

"Hilary! Stop butchering your baby darling's crib!"

I looked up from where I was hammering the basket and saw Kai looking at me with a bump on his head, arms crossed, and a mortified look on his face. I should've brought that camera.

I rolled my eyes and said "I'm just trying to...reconfigure it. You know, see if I can hammer it into different shapes and stuff so I hammer the basket-I mean crib!-into a shape comfortable enough for.....Josh." I smiled as convincingly as I could.

And Kai actually bought it.

He nodded and said happily "Okay then, I'll leave you to your hammering. By the way, where did you put Josh?" The bluenette had a worrying look in his eyes.

"Oh yeah." I pulled out the egg from my desk. "Here he is, all right and stuff, so you can go ahead and just stay with Alison." I made hand gestures so he could take the hint and leave.

The bluenette was about to, but stopped when he heard a female giggle behind him and a pink haired girl walked up beside him.

"Oh hi Mariah." Kai had a confused look on his face "I thought you were kissing Ray in that dark little corner of the room."

It was truly comically how the girl's face went from normal to beet red. The pink haired girl sputtered "I-I was not kissi-kissing Ray alright!" She crossed her arms and had an embarrassed look on her face; the blush still hadn't worn off.

Now I really wish I had a camera.

Kai frowned in confusion and said with a puzzled tone "Then why did Ray have that lipstick mark on his face? I saw a big red lipstick mark on his cheek and he-"

"ANYway, back to the matter at hand!" Mariah quickly diverted the attention from her to me, with the blush still on I might add "Hilary, anyone can see as plain as day that you're not trying to 'reconfigure' that thing for 'Josh', you're trying to hammer it out of stress after having healthy dosed of arguing with Tyson." She winked.

I raised an eyebrow "Well, you get points for getting it right. You don't get points for sounding like my mom." My expression was deadpan.

Mariah chuckled and asked "By the way, where is Tyson? I don't see him anywhere in the classroom." She glanced around the room and turned back to me.

Kai spoke up as well "Yeah, and I didn't see Alison anywhere as well." He looked really worried, truly fulfilling his role as a worrying father.

I answered "She's with Tyson. They're making another trip to the library, trying to see if they can find more books that aren't in the teacher's section." I put the emphasis on aren't.

Mariah and Kai winced simultaneously.

Oh yeah. About that, do you know if Mr. Derk is okay? Does he remember what happened?" Mar asked worriedly.

I shook my head "Nope, doesn't remember anything. I should know, I overheard the nurse talking about it in the infirmary. Apparently the punch that knocked him out cold damaged just a teensy small part of his bran, making him forget what happened." I leaned back into my chair and stretched my arms a bit.

Kai winced "Whew, seems like Bryan really gave him a punch."

"Yep." Mariah agreed. "I wonder how Tyson and Ally are doing."

I shrugged and started to continue hammering the basket.

Library, Third Person's POV

"Wow, didn't know they even had porn in the library."

The two kids were in the library, the bluenette sitting at the table reading a supposed pornographic book and the redhead scanning the bookshelves.

The redhead whipped her head, narrowed her eyes, and hissed "Give me that! You shouldn't be reading that stuff!" while grabbing the magazine away from the bluenette's grasp.

"Hey, I was reading that!" Tyson complained, but was ignored as Alison scanned the contents of the page.

She finally raised an eyebrow and said "Tyson, this is not porn; it's a look inside a woman's human body." And she sat into the seat next to him.

Tyson shrugged. "You haven't looked at the next page."

Alison frowned and replied as she turned to the next page "What's wrong with the next-oh! Oh...." She trailed off, then started chuckling nervously.

"....I didn't even know that position was...possible." Alison had a red face on when she finally handed the magazine back to a smirking Tyson.

He coughed a bit and replied "Well you know, grownups can be very.....surprising sometimes." He shrugged nonchalantly.

"Okay that's it we are not having this conversation anymore!" Though it seemed that Alison's face couldn't get redder, it did.

Tyson rolled his eyes and opened his mouth, but quickly shut it as he cupped a hand to his ear. "Did you hear that?" He whispered.

Alison had a confused look "What do you mean, I don't hear anything."

"Listen! I think someone's talking!" Tyson hissed.

The redhead frowned and also cupped a hand to her ears.

"Like I said Gregory, this whole competition will be so easy; I don't know why I didn't think about it sooner."

Alison widened her eyes "It's Ms. Landon! She sounds like she's talking to someone on her cell phone or something."

The two kids peeked through the bookcase and sat that it was indeed the creepy creature who was indeed talking to someone over her cell phone. They listened closely, wanting to know what the creature was talking about.

"I know, I mean Marshall has been in my way from the day he first started teaching. The way he's just so nice to his 'students' makes me feel so sick, and not to mention that I've hated him for years. As I soon as I order him to take a retirement from teaching, he'll be out of my way and life forever." And she would've laughed evilly; if not that it was a library she was in, so she just cackled quietly.

The two kids turned to face each other with horrified expressions.

----------

Classroom

The two kids ran in the room, panting heavily.

"Sweetie, what's the matter?!" Kai asked with panic as he ran to Alison and pressed a hand to her forehead and led her to her seat.

"Yes, yes I'm fine!" The redhead swatted Kai's hand away with annoyance as she plopped down into the seat "But you guys! You won't believe what I and Tyson heard!"

"Yeah, it was really, really shocking!" Tyson added as he also sat into his seat.

"Well, what did you hear?" Hilary asked cautiously, as everyone gathered around Alison and Tyson, wanting to know.

The two teens glanced at each other before turning back to their small audience "Ms. Landon's gonna command Mr. Marshall to take a retirement from teaching!" They blurted out in unison, before sinking back into their chairs.

And the classroom was silent as it sunk in.

For a while that is.....

"What are we going to do? We can't let this happen!" Mariah exclaimed as she stood up from her seat with a scared look in her face.

"Yeah!" Felicia agreed as she too stood up, but with more of a determined look in her eyes "We're gonna stop this!"

"Yeah!" The whole classroom agreed in unison.

"We're gonna win that competition!"

"Yeah!"

"WE'RE GONNA MAKE AN EFFORT!"

"YEAH!"

"WE'RE GONNA GET ALONG AND HELP EACH OTHER!"

"YEAH!"

"AND WHEN WE WIN THAT THING, WE'RE GONNA STAND UP WITH HONOR!"

"YEAH!"

"AND WE WON'T CARE IF MS. LANDON WILL BE OUT TO GET US FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES!"

"........"

Felicia watched with a deadpanned expression as everyone ran out the out the classroom in two seconds flat.

"COME BACK HERE YOU COWARDS!"

----------

Library, Alison's POV

"I want my old Hiwatari back!"

Hilary stared at me. I couldn't exactly blame her. As soon as I approached her table (she was sitting with Tyson and they were working on that stupid marriage project) I didn't even spare a greeting, just an 'I want my old Hiwatari back!' line.

She blinked.

"Okay.......care to repeat?" The brunette asked as she and Tyson put their books down and listened.

I sighed and sat down in a chair "You heard me. I just can't take dealing with this new 'happy go marriage!' Kai. I want that old cold and mean Hiwatari that I always argued with. The Hiwatari that I always managed to frustrate. The Hiwatari that always managed to frustrate me as well. The Hiwatari I could call 'Hiwatari', not the new Hiwatari who's been nagging me to call him 'Kai' or 'pumpkin'! I-I just....need that old Hiwatari back!" I groaned and sank into my chair with a sad expression.

"Oh Ally." Hilary grasped my hand for comfort, sympathy in her eyes "I'm sure it can't be that bad. I mean, Kai is finally making an effort in the project!"

"Yeah, Kai's really doing all he can in this project! And I'm sure that as soon as the competition ends, he'll revert back to his old self!" Tyson said.

I shook my head "I really don't think that's gonna happen Ty. I mean, Kai maybe so heavily into this project that he'll stay all 'Marriage is a wonderful thing' forever person! And the effort that he's putting is exactly the problem! I don't want him to put in so much effort! I want him to put in some effort, not so much effort that he's actually driving me and everyone-and that includes you Hilary!-crazy!" I sighed again, didn't let them say anything as I proceeded to tell them something else.

"And mind you, being totally involved in the project, Kai was doing strange and obscene things...........

.::Flashback Starts::.

I was listening to Kai as he droned on and on about some marriage thing or the other, when a group of girls from Ms. Landon's suddenly stopped in front of us, all of which I might add, were eyeing Kai like some piece of meat!

Suddenly, the leader of girls, who had long blonde hair and blue eyes giggled and greeted like some flirt "Hey Kai, what's up?"

Now let me tell you, if Kai were anything like he was before he got so psycho, he would've had enough sense to tell her to buzz off, but nooo, he was foolish enough to actually say "Nothing much. Just working with Alison on the Marriage Project."

"Oh." The girl eyed me with disdain in her eyes before turning her attention back to Kai "By the way Kai, my name's Mindy, Mindy Daniels. And I was wondering if you'd consider helping me with my own Marriage Project. My 'husband' is just so......hard to explain things to. Would you care to help?" She batted her eyelashes.

Now, before we go any further, I would like to explain something. If Kai was the same Kai that didn't worship the guide book, he would've had enough sense to decline, but since he did worship the guide book, guess what he said?!

He grinned and accepted "I'd love to. Anything to help a marriage better!"


If you guessed right, good job!

Tell me, you sense the sarcasm right?

"Great! Here's my number! Call me when you're free or something! See ya later Kai!" Mindy smiled a sugary smile and she walked away with her posse all of which were congratulating her or giggling.

I just watched with my mouth wide open.

"Kai! What do you think you were doing?!" I cried as I turned to face him with a helpless expression.

He shrugged and answered "Hey, just helping a friend."

"A friend? Kai, Mindy Daniels is like a replica of Ms. Landon, only-it sickens me to say this-prettier! And what about the competition hm?! Fraternizing with the enemy is not going to strengthen our chances okay!" I growled through gritted teeth.

"Tish tosh, I'm sure getting along with our rivals will make this competition a little more friendly,
now if you excuse me, I have to go have tea with dear old Alfred. Catch ya later!" The bluenette walked away, leaving me to stare after him.

I really don't think getting friendly with devil's spawn will help us.

And since when did Kai start sounding British?!


.::Flashback Ends::.

"And that's when I decided to come to you guys." I finally finished.

Hilary was the first to say something "Wow, sounds like Kai really has been in way, way too much into the project."

I rolled my eyes and answered "Duh Hil! I think we all already knew that! Anyway, if you guys have any plans as to what I can do to get Kai back, I'm all ears!"

Tyson and Hilary turned to look at each other for a moment, before turning back to face me.

"You're doomed."

I groaned and just banged my head against the table.

"Typical. The one time you guys have to agree on something and it's about this!" I finally murmured as I stopped.

Tyson shrugged "Hey, we're just being honest with you. And besides, we might be able to agree more on things more if a certain brunette here would see things my way!" He glared at Hilary who gladly returned it.

Inwardly, I groaned as I watched them quarrel all over again.

'Knew it was too good to be true. I mean, just when you think they could actually act sensible and confess their real feelings, they have to give me a headache!' I dropped my head on the table and put my hands over it.

And seriously, is tish tosh even British?


Chapter Four Ends..........TBC
Note:Wel there you go, another chapter completed. Now if you excuse me, I have to go work on some of my other fics.

I have a very important thing to say so don't you dare ignore it! I'm leaving for Manila on July 14th, so this will put my fics on a very, very long delay, but I'll try to get in as many chapters as I can before I move. Plus, I'm not even sure they air Beyblade in Asia, which totally sucks. I mean, I used to live in Cambodia before moving to Virginia, and I never could find anything good on TV. And this also means I won't get to see G Rev! Unfairness!

And don't forget to review!
