Flashback
Thoughts
Xxxlast time on life's pathxxx
Ray had hurt his ankle and couldn't move so he decided to be quiet so that maybe they wouldn't notice him.
"Hey you ok man?"...
Xxxpresent timexxx
"Hey you ok man?"
Ray looked up to see the blunette and blonde headed boys looking down on him with concern, ray was to stunned to say anything he didn't expect to get caught the only person he couldn't sneak up on was Mariah.
The blond headed boy spoke first "yeah are you ok?"
Ray nodded meekly "yeah and I'm sorry I snuck in here my curiosity got the better of me"
The blunette shrugged "its ok we all get a little curious, by the way my names Tyson"
The blonde boy gave a huge hyper smile "hi I'm max"
Ray was overcome by their hospitality (don't know if that word works there but I couldn't think of a better one at the time I couldn't use friendliness) "my names ray nice to meet you both"
Tyson's eyes shone and he pointed to an object near ray "is that a beyblade?"
Ray looked to his left and saw drigger lying on the ground next to him.
Ray smiled showing his fangs slightly and Tyson and max didn't mind "yeah that's drigger"
Max started jumping slightly and talking so fast that the other two boys couldn't understand what he was saying
Ray sweatdropped "is he always like this?"
Tyson sighed "only when he has been eating sugar again" he looked accusingly at max
Max's sugar rush was wearing off and could speak regularly again "sorry Tyson I couldn't help it and blame your grandpa he's really bad at hiding things!"
Tyson and ray sweatdropped at max, he is quite the character and Tyson is really friendly maybe they can help me find out more about beyblades ray thought.
"Like I was trying to say before all that sugar caught up to me, do you wanna have a bey battle?" max asked giving the puppy dog eyes and pout.
Ray smiled at his innocence "sure, my ankle is feeling a lot better"
"Sweet and i'll be referee" Tyson volunteered
Ray, max and Tyson made their way to the beyblade dish, ray and max got out their beyblades
"Give me everything you got ray" max said with his boyish smile
"I plan to max don't worry about that" ray also smiled
Tyson smiled at the way they had all become friends in about ten minutes he could tell ray was a good guy maybe if he's good enough he could join our team Tyson thought
3...2...1 let it rip! Ray and max shouted at the same time
The beyblades shot into the dish and started to go round in circles for a couple of seconds
"Ok drigger lets so max what we're made off" ray shouted
Drigger knocked into draciel, metal clashed and caused sparks to go everywhere.
"Well I have to admit you are powerful ray but I have some power of my own, the best defence is the best offence" max explained "keep dodging him draciel"
Rays eyes widened So that's his plan dodging me and have me waste my stamina so he can come in for the kill after I'm weak, smart but not smart enough ray smirked
"Ok drigger stop in the middle of the dish" ray spoke calmly
Max and Tyson looked at him like he was mad and ray was trying in vain to keep a straight face.
"Dude I think you're a few bolts short of a beyblade but this works out to my advantage, GO DRACIAL FINSH HIM!" max shouted confidently
During max's speech Tyson was thinking (it's the end of the world as we know it) what is ray thinking? Staying in the middle of the dish waiting for max to attack him! Unless... that's it!
"Wait max it's a trap!" Tyson shouted but it was too late...
Ray smirk got wider "drigger jump (don't know if drigger can jump so sorry I got it wrong) now finish this!
Draciel was going full speed towards drigger so the attack couldn't be stopped and when max got close enough drigger jumped and went down full speed clashing right in the centre of draciel so that draciel was shot out of the dish with such force that it hit and broke a flower vase (rays on a role).
Tyson and max looked at ray with huge eyes that only anime characters can do
Ray smiled shyly "sorry..."
"Ray... you just broke my grandpa's second favourite vase with a beyblade... you have officially became like a brother to me" Tyson spoke with a huge smile
Max was smiling proudly "yeah ray it took me about a week and congratulations on winning i'll just train harder for next time".
Hearing that ray saw a memory of when he was a small child learning Mariah how to beyblade
Xxxflashbackxxx
Ray smiled at his little friends determination to beyblade she was more determined than most of the boys in the village but they still looked down on her but he was still glad he had decided to teach her.
"Ray pay attention you're in your own little world again" Mariah whined, unhappy that ray wasn't paying attention to the beyblade but mostly because he wasn't paying attention to her.
"Sorry Mariah" ray said putting his hands near his face half to say he was sorry and half in case Mariah tried to hit him
The beyblade battle raged on and Mariah was making progress but eventually ray won, Mariah just stood there stunned
"Sorry Mariah but if it makes you feel better you're making a lot of progress..." ray tried to say but was interrupted when Mariah started to laugh.
"It's ok ray that was a fun battle, besides I just have to train harder for next time...
Xxxflashbackxxx
Ray snapped out of 'his own little world' and sweatdropped "thanks... I guess"
"Not even kai beat your record" said Tyson still smiling
"I hope I'm not being to nosey but who is kai?" asked ray his curious nature getting the better of him again.
Tyson smiled warmly "kai is my greatest rival and is a good friend of ours even though he doesn't show we know he thinks the same, he lives here with me, max and my grandpa. He's very quiet, cold and blunt on the outside but on the inside he's loyal and cares about his few friends that he trusts.
Ray smiled back "cool I hope I can meet him someday"
"I bet you will, he's a lone wolf and comes and goes as he pleases but he always comes back" explained max
They explain it so he sounds like a stray cat or something but all in all he sounds like a good guy thought.
"So Ray your new to this town right? I've never saw you here before" Tyson asked curiously
"yeah I just came here from white tiger village" ray explained proudly, even though he left he was still proud of his birth place it truly was a beautiful place and had his family and his best friends, thinking about white tiger village made Mariah's smiling face pop into his head, he blushed and quickly pushed her out of his head.
"That's great where are you staying?" asked max secretly he had no where so he could stay with them
Ray thought for a second "not sure I'm sure i'll just go to a bed and breakfast or something
Tyson and max looked at each other sharing a secret look " nonsense your staying with us" max announced with the biggest smile he had seen in his life (I always thought of max as a smiley person but don't worry he frowns somewhere in this fic *gasp* I know)
Ray was still uncertain "I don't know guys you just met me and what about your guardians permission"
Tyson just smiled " max is a great judge of character and we both think your awesome and a great blader and if you join our team my grandpa will let you stay but he would let you stay anyway he loves it when I bring friends over to stay because there's more people to scare.
Ray was shocked he didn't think he would be joining a team so soon he felt a little guilty because he was in one way betraying the white tigers but they probably already thought that, so he had nothing to lose and he was glad he had made friends and they seem really nice.
"Ok Tyson i'll take you up on your offer" ray accepted smiling
Tyson and max where really happy and hi-fived each other and both shouted awesome!
"So we have a new roomy..."
Clover123ie: I just wanted to torture you! Lol but seriously most my friends call me a sadist but I know they're only joking... well about 80% anyway, I'm bored so I'm going to read the boys minds
Ray's mind: I wonder when am I going to see Mariah in the story?
Kai's mind: I wonder when Hilary is going to be in the story?
Max's mind: I wonder where clover123ie keeps the chocolate?
Tyson's mind: ...
*boys walk over and open their mouths to ask a question*
Clover123ie: ray you will see Mariah in the story when I say so, kai Hilary will be in the story soon, max the chocolate is in the top cupboard and Tyson... Read a book or something.
*boys close their mouths and look disturbed*
Max: how did you...
Clover123ie: some questions are best left unanswered max.
Max: ok...
*Hilary and Mariah walk in*
Mariah: hey guys what did we miss?
Clover123ie: *shrugs* nothing much, just me mentally scarring the boys
Hilary: *groans* aww and I missed it!
Ray: MARIAH! *runs and hugs her*
Mariah: *sweatdrops* uh... yes ray?
Ray: nothing I just missed you *hugs her closer while Mariah puts a cherry to shame (just wanted to be original)*
Clover123ie: aww that is just so sweet! Thanks for reading and please review
