Welcome to chapter four of Beans. I'm sorry I haven't updated in like forever but with school and all, I just haven't had time. I decided to type up this chapter today because I need to before I forget. My memory is nada. Zero. Zilch. Nothing. The big 0. Here you go. Oh, and by the way. This chapter is dedicated to FireballAmi for her sincerely kind, wonderful and funny reviews. Thanks Ami!

Kimpossible423: Two reviews! I'm flattered. Catnip can do strange things, my friend. Very strange things. (I guess he is allergic to himself.)

MoonWarrior12: No! You can't die because I just wrote another chapter and I don't wanna be sued. I think it's a word, but I could be wrong.

Astera Snape: That's good. (Can't have any casualties). Poor, poor Tyson won't know what hit him.

CrimsonSkye06: I did get it, but not until after I posted the chapter up. Sorry! Here is the next chappie so R & R.

Ku: Read and Enjoy!

Dear disclaimer,

I want you to know that I do not own beyblades. Satisfied now? Good!

Chapter 4:

With Rei as a kitten, and Max and Kai temporarily insane, poor Tyson was bored out of his mind. The only thing he did to keep himself from going coo-coo himself was smacking his head against a wall. It was only a matter of time before a large, purplish-blue bruiseappeared on his forehead. Kai and Max seemed to think it was a button and kept pushing on it. They screamed and took off as Tyson turned around angrily. You see, this was the fifty fifth time this had happened and he was getting extremely annoyed.

Rei was happily playing with Mariah on the living room floor. They were busily batting the catnip ball back and forth.

'I know! I'll call Tala and see if he can come for a beybattle. That'll take my mind off of things.'

Tyson said to himself.

He quickly found Kenny's laptop. He remembered asking Kenny if he could borrow it.

"What for?" the shrimpy boy had asked.

"Nothing really. I just want to have a look at it." Tyson said simply.

"Well, alright. But if one circuit is out of place when I get Dizzi back, I am going to kill you." Kenny said while pushing up his glasses. The threat sounded strange coming from him and Tyson had to stifle several bouts of laughter.

'Heh. I'm not as dumb as think I am.' Tyson thought to himself as he easily worked around the password and security system. He connected to the internet and popped his knuckles. His fingers pressed the keys, clicking them loudly. Several clacks of the mouse, and then a vociferous bout of typing ensued . After several hours, he sat back and wiped sweat from his forehead. Hacking into Voltaire's high-security computer files wasn't easy.

He searched several files, found what he wanted, and disconnected from the internet. He grabbed a cordless phone and dialed the number scrawled across a piece of paper.

Several rings were shortly followed by the mechanical voice of an answering machine.

"Please leave a message." it demanded coldly.

"Tala Inovav. Get you ass on the phone. I know you're there..." Tyson continued to rant and rave, so the almost imperceptible click of someone picking up the phone went unheard until...

"Tyson! Shut the hell up. You're going to blow my ears off if you talk any louder." yelled Tala crossly.

"Hey Tala. I haven't heard from you in a long time. It's been a while." Tyson replied happily.

"It has, hasn't it?" asked Tala.

"Yeah."

"Do the others know anything about our friendship?" he questioned seriously. He was not about to tell the other team members that Tyson had been his childhood friend since practically birth.

"Tala. We're practically brothers. No, they don't. Anyways, Kai has gone crazy, Max has gone crazy, and Rei turned into a cat. I'll go insane soon if I don't do anything so I want you to come over here for a beybattle."

"I guess it's a good thing I haven't gone back to Russia yet. I'll be there in a little bit." Tala said and hung up the phone. He sighed. Tyson could be such a pain, but if there was one person you could trust, it was him.

Tyson placed the phone on the receiver and stood up. Just then...

"Come on and find us!" called two voices from upstairs.

"Why those little!" Tyson thought. As much as he hated to admit it, he was thoroughly pissed off at Max's and Kai's behavior. His brain hadn't even wanted to come close to solving Rei's sudden evolution into a cat.

Tyson stalked up the stairs, taking the steps three at a time. He went to pick up his left foot and realized that he was stepping on his shoelace. Before he could catch his balance, he flew backwards and landed hard on his bottom on the floor below. He saw stars and then the whole world went black.

Tala shifted his light jacket uncomfortably. He'd rather have just gone without it, but he remembered what had happened the last time. Tyson had freaked because he was walking around in 40 degree weather in jeans and a black t shirt.

He supposed that he should've worn at least long sleeves, but he was used to the cold and it didn't really bother him. He walked down the street, a bit of red hair falling down over his face. Annoyed, he stuck out his bottom lip and blew upwards. The stubborn red lock refused to move so Tala grabbed it with his hand and shoved it to the side.

'I'm getting a bad feeling about this. Maybe I should just head back. No. Tyson bored is one of the scariest things I have ever seen. I remember the last time that happened. Kai, Rei, and Max had to hold him down to prevent him from lighting another paper towel roll soldier on fire and flushing it down the toilet bowl.'

Tala came to an abrupt stop when he subconsciously realized that he had been standing at the Granger's doorstep for nearly three minutes.He shook his head and rested his hand on the doorknob. He took a deep breath and opened the door cautiously. After he was neither blown up nor run over, he decided it was safe to enter the house.

He had walked five steps when he stepped on something soft. He looked down and saw a pile of clothes. Tyson's clothes. 'Oh shit. What the hell is he doing? Walking around naked?' Tala thought. He barely managed to suppress a yelp as the pile of clothes moved.

A huge head full of dark blue hair popped out from a way-too-big shirt. Large grey eyes stared happily at him. A small boy's body followed briefly, which would of been naked except for the now enormous pair of underwear covering his legs.

"Hello. Me Tyson. Me four whole years old." the miniature Tyson said.

"Oh God. Tyson's been chibified." Tala said out loud, ignorant of the fact that he had sworn in front of a "walking, talking radio" a.k.a Tyson.

He passed out cold onto the floor. The last thing he heard was Tyson laugh and call Max and Kai.

When Tala reawakened and opened his eyes, he noticed that the world was upside-down. He closed his eyes, shook his head, and reopened them. 'What in the hell?' Tala asked himself. He felt himself moving and glanced towards his feet. A rope bound them together tightly at the ankles. The rope itself was tied to a coat rack fastened with a large amount of Super-Super Glue Adhesive. He also noticed that both of his arms had been tied behind his back while a piece of rope attached to it was tied securely to the floor.

He heard a small,semi-maniacal laugh and turned to see Max, Kai, and Tyson, grinning evilly. Tyson was dressed in a gigantic shirt that trailed to the floor. Max and Kai seemed to have no problem whatsoever with the slightly smaller version of Tyson. They chuckled again and Kai pulled out a wagon filled with lots and lots of... jars. (Hah! I bet you thought it was make-up)

"Ah! Get me down. Get me down from here now!" Tala threatened, trying to untie his body. The ropes held him firmly, and were so taut that he could not even move backwards.

They approached him slowly, taunting him. He struggled but stopped when he felt a blindfoldcover his eyes. 'It's better this way. I won't be able to see what there are putting on here. Tyson wasn't kidding when he said that Kai and Max were insane.'

He gasped as he felt something warm and gooey being spread across his arm. He winced as they lathered it up his arm in massive amounts. Gradually he was covered in the sticky substance except where his clothes came into contact with his skin. His sensitive ears picked up the sound of a zip-locked bag being opened and tiny objects bouncing onto the floor.

Tiny things were thrown rather violently at him. The objects were somewhat cushioned by the goo on his arms. He sighed, slightly frustrated because all of the blood was rushing to his head and giving him a particularly large headache.

"All done. Now we carry Tala outside." Kai grinned happily. I heard a chair scraping against the floor and I felt the ropes tying my feet together being loosened. I fell to the floor.

"Midget work. Midget work. Midget work." he heard them all chanting over and over. Sunshine warmed his face and he knew they had dragged them outside. The ropes on his arms were loosened and removed. He stretched his cramped arms out and tugged off the blindfold.

"AHHHHHHH! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU GUYS DO TO ME!" Tala yelled. Tied to a pole 6 feet in the air with only his boxers on, he looked down on a smiling Tyson and Max.

"He he! Tala's a birdie feeder!" Kai said and clapped his hands together cheerfully. Together, the three insane kids skipped merrily around Tala. Two cats watched from the porch railing as birds fluttered down and pecked at the bird seed attached to Tala's sticky body. One of them licked its lips.

I'm sorry. I really didn't get anywhere in this chapter. I promise the next chapter will be better. For those of you who read My Sweet Nightmare, it has been updated. Next time: Tala goes to the shrink ward with the rest of the bladebreakers.
