Ray was acting weird, well he and Max were acting strange. Kai tried hard enough to figure this out, he really did but somehow they were too… smart? Ok, so maybe thinking is not a good idea. He would have thought about it more but a hand waving in front of his face brought him back to the world of the living.

"Kai, are you listening to me?" it was Tyson! He had been talking, when?

"No."

"Um, at least you're sincere." Sarcasm was clearly on the neko's voice, all sweat-dropped. "Well, I'm going to call our volunteer person." Ray stood up and was about to walked pass the couch when Lucky decided that he was bored. Sadly Ray didn't see him as Lucky jumped down from his sited position on the couch and run pass Ray, but since Tyson was holding Lucky's leash the poor neko trip over it he landed hard on the ground. "I swear that dog doesn't like me!" Ray shouted; Max helped him to stand up.

"Sorry Ray." Tyson apologized for Lucky; Ray only glared at the pup.

"Whatever." He and Max were about to go to the kitchen to call the mysterious person, when Kai stopped them with a question.

"Why are you acting… um, weird?" ok, so he didn't quite know how to word it correctly, but the couple understood him.

"Weird, us? What gave you that idea?" both said smiling sheepishly.

"How about Max sudden interest in practicing, both of you saying that it was a romantic scene back at the beach." Kai said, Tyson decided to help.

"You pushing us in a phone booth, and many other particular things." The couple smiled and glanced at each other.

"What do you mean? Have they being acting strange lately?" Hilary question.

"NO!" their answered was quickly, a little too quickly for Tyson's and Kai's liking. "Ok, we have something to tell you." All looked at Ray, whom looked at Max and the blond was able to understand what his neko was thinking, and he nodded his approval. "Max and me are together."

"Is that all?" Kai asked bored, the couple only stared at them in disbelief and stunning expressions.

"You mean you don't mind?"

"Hell no, you liking each other was as clear as day." Ray and Max's face could be easily mistaken for a ripe tomato. "Are you positive that's the only reason?" Tyson asked eyeing them suspiciously.

"Yes, that's all. Bye be ready for tomorrow!" the two left faster then lightning, leaving the others to blink at the spot they had been previously standing. Kenny opened Dizzy and the sarcastic bit-beast was quick to talk.

"It's nice that you remember me, I feel the love. So what's up, Voltaire and Boris are trying to take your bit-beast away and trying to take over the world… again. I mean lets be serious for a moment, don't you think that they need a social live, or better yet a hobby? Well, ok so they do have a hobby and that is trying to make peoples lives miserable… couldn't they be more original?" the only thing the others were able to do was sweat-dropped and smile uncertainly, not really knowing how to answer those questions.

"No Dizzy, I just wanted to go with you with some of the blades updates that's all, no need to tell us your opinion…" of curse Kenny was going to say a compliment but the trap bit-beast interrupted him.

"Like you would listen."

"Sorry Dizzy."

"Whatever."

(With Ray and Max :)

"Ray are you planning on calling Blue?" Max question leaning against the kitchen's wall. Ray grabbed the phone and dialed an unknown number; he then turned to Max and said.

"Why would I call Blue?" as the phone rang at the other line, someone picked it up, the neko was quick to talk. "Tala?"

"Tala!" the blond didn't know what to say after that, why was Ray calling Tala? Ray half glared at him and mention to him to be quiet, which the blond did.

"Yes, who's this?"

"It's me Ray! Max and me need to ask you and maybe Bryan for a favor." The other line was silent and the couple was able to hear talking at the other line.

"Fine, but I warn you… if in anyway we get in trouble you're going to learn a new definition for pain. Got it?" the couple paled, Ray was really considering to call the favor off but there was no way in hell that he would back off!

"Sure, it's um… safe?" shakiness of doubt was clear on the neko's voice as he answered.

"Kon, you better be right. So what's the favor?"

"How about you meet us at the park about noon and we'll tell you."

"Fine." The redhead quickly hanged up. Max looked at Ray with doubtful sky-blue eyes.

"Don't worry Maxi, everything will be ok!"

"I hope so because if Tala or Bryan doesn't get you, I will." Ray sweat-dropped. They both returned to the living room to find the others apologizing to the talking laptop. "What happen?" Max question.

"Dizzy is mad at us."

"Why."

"Don't ask." The blond and the neko glanced at each other then shrugged, if Kai said not to ask it usually meant 'don't ask, or you'll get extra practice.' The morning was uneventful they ate took their shower and packed… well, Ray and Max were already pack. "Tyson! Where's my scarf?" the two-tone haired teen shouted trying to locate say teen.

"Kai! You don't need one!" was the replied he got from somewhere, but where? The couple looked at each other amusingly, guess Tyson was getting a little bore with packing. Then they checked the clock and dropped the sandwiches they had been eating they were solate! And everybody knows that a certain redhead was very punctual, not to mention that a violet eye teen was going to be with him.

"Guys we're going out!" Ray shouted at his two friends but highly doubted that they had heard him. Reaching the park, with Lucky in their arms of course, they spotted a very pissed off redhead. Bryan was leaning against a three a murderous glare present; this didn't look good. "Hey." Ray nervously greeted. If looks could kill they would have already been dead and five feet under.

"What took you?" Tala's voice was calm; a sure sign that literally said pain was sure to come if you didn't answered right. This of curse made the couple suppress a shudder.

"We lost track of time."

"Did you found it." if someone else was saying this rather then the tall Russian they would have laughed, but sadly Bryan was the one saying it. So if they did laugh it was a sure ticket to the grave, flowers and all. Silence descended around them, two too afraid to talk and the last two getting annoyed every passing second, and did I mention that they had being waiting for half an hour? It was a grater surprise that both parties failed to see Lucky, who for once wasn't interest in breaking the silence. Finally, one was brave enough to talk.

"Anyways…" that small word got everyone's attention and now Max found himself the center of attention. "We came because we want to ask you a favor."

"Go on."

"Can you please take care of Lucky?" Max asked while the two Russians looked confuse. Max took the pup and showed them to them, the pup barked and licked Tala's cheek. The couple froze they hadn't been expecting that! Suddenly Tala grabbed the pup and put it in front of his face glaring at it. Ray and Max were expecting the worse when the second-cold-hearted-bastard smiled! Ray was beyond shock while Max wanted to faint.

"Sure we'll take care of it… does he cause trouble?"

"No!" the couple answered quickly, both teens raised a brow in question, "he doesn't create trouble you can even ask Kai!" the blond explained.

"What does Kai have to do with this?" everyone stared at the first-cold-hearted-bastard a.k.a. Bryan, that was the longest sentence he had said since they arrived, "Great, I should have kept my mouth shout."

"Don't worry Bry," the redhead patted the violet-eyed teen, "everybody has their slip-ups." He then turned his attention to the couple. "We'll take care of Lucky but if we get in trouble know this, you can run but you can't hide. Goodbye, and tell Kai and Tyson we said hi." the two Russians walked away.

"Whew, never thought we would come out alive!" admitted Ray smiling at Max whom smiled back, both now headed to the dojo to see how their friends were doing. Arriving there they found no trace of them, strange. They went to their rooms but found no one, that's when a shout was heard.

"Granger! Where the hell if my blade!" well, at least it wasn't the scarf, they run outside and saw them by the koi pond.

"Here!" Tyson said taking say blade from his pocket and waving it at Kai.

"Why the hell did you take it in the first place?"

"We're going to a cruise ship meaning fun and relaxation."

"Your point?"

"We're NOT taking our blades, and that's final!" he finished by sticking his tongue out at a furious Kai, whom growled and launched forward trying to get his blue blade from the smaller teen. This only succeeding that Tyson took a step back and slipping on the wet stones. Not wanting to fall alone he grabbed Kai by the arm and took them both down in the pond, they were soaking wet. Tyson's playful side resurfaced and he started to splash water on Kai whom look ready to kill, but after a while he too joined the game. Ray and Max were thankful that the Koi pond didn't have any fish.

Meanwhile the two Russians had finally reached their destination and were entering the apartment. Tala had carried Lucky all the way, and then put it down and headed towards the small kitchen. Bryan went straight to the couch and now was channel-surfing. Sadly, no one noticed the puppy walking away. Tala came out of the kitchen fifteen minutes later and was scanning for say dog. "Bry, where's Lucky?"

"Shit!" both said and searched their apartment from top to bottom. Then they noticed that the door was slightly open, "No problems at all, eh?" Bryan said it sarcastically snorting and glaring at nothing in particular.

"Kon… Tate… you better have insurance!"
