A/N: Yeah, very long chapter here but I've written longer. This should be plenty for you until I update which is probably going to be around Thanksgiving. Mmmm. Foodddddd. On to the disclaimer!

Disclaimer: Ahem. I do not own Beyblade or any characters in this story except the snowmobile salesman.

Chapter… 6? Yeah Chapter 6!

"Hahahahahaa!!! This is just too rich! The great Kai Hiwatari fainted on the couch! Oh he is never going to live this down!" The bluenette laughed loudly.

"Tyson it's not funny! He could have really gotten hurt! He must've had an allergic reaction to the hot chocolate or something." Ray said. I could hear him close to me. Possible sitting next to me.

"Oh no I didn't know! I'm sorry Kai!" Max said loudly also next to me.

I opened my eyes slowly feeling my throbbing head. "What happened?" I said looking around the room. I was on a couch with what felt like a wet towel on my head. Tyson was sitting on top of the couch with Ray sitting across from me on the coffee table. Max was sitting on the arm of the couch and the girls were sitting at the edge of the stairs.

"Ray said he was getting married and you fainted like a two year old that's what happened!" Tyson said still laughing.

Those words suddenly made my head throb even harder. Married? No way! Not Ray. I don't know why it affected me like it did but for some reason the thought of Ray getting married just didn't agree with me. "Tyson shut up. I still remember the time you cried when I beat you for the first time." I said smirking.

"Shut up! I did not cry!"

"You so did. Oh my blade! My blade!!! Baby." I mocked him and stood up smiling.

Tyson growled. "We'll see who the baby is!" He suddenly tackled me onto the ground hard and tried to get my arm behind my back. I flipped him over but not before he kicked me where the sun don't shine on accident. We wrestled like that for awhile just rolling around in our little cartoon dust cloud. It ended though when somehow he got on top of me. He sat on top of my back with a smile. "Hah! Who's the baby now!?"

I jumped up and he fell backwards onto the ground. I held him there twisting both his arms behind his head. "Say uncle!"

"Never!"

"Will you guys give it a rest!? God I swear I just get here and the one thing you guys do is fight fight fight." Hilary said in an overly nagging voice. I let go of Tyson before standing up and brushing myself off.

"Whatever." I said crossing my arms.

"Bla bla bla." Tyson mocked her under his breath.

"So Ray are you really getting married?" I asked looking directly at him.

He and Max were blushing for some reason.

"Speak louder." Tyson said elbowing me in my arm.

"I just did."

"Not loud enough."

"Shut up Tyson. Now Ray as I was saying before this idiot interrupted me, are you- aughhh!"

"Stop calling me names!" Tyson shouted as he hit me with some leftover cookie dough.

I sighed. "Before TYSON interrupted me, are you really getting married?"

He looked at me. "Yeah. The day after Christmas we're supposed to be leaving." He said looking over at Mariah with a frown.

I sighed. "Oh. I'm guessing it has something to do with childhood relations?"

"Yeah." He said lowly. "I'd rather not go into it."

"Well all this talk about marriage has got me hyped up. When are you going to ask me to marry you Tyson?" Hilary said pointing a finger at the boy.

Tyson put his hands behind his head and looked the opposite way. "In your dreams lady."

"What did you say!?"

"God you guys give me migraines." I said holding my head again. Hilary ignored me and started to chase Tyson around the house.

"Ray are we still leaving?" Max asked not really looking at anyone.

"Oh yeah. About that. There were only three snowmobiles left soo."

"I'm riding with Ray!" Max said grabbing the neko-jin's hand.

"No way! He's my husband! I'm riding with him!" Mariah said glaring at the blonde.

"Well there's no way I'm riding with her." Tyson said pointing a thumb at Hilary.

"Well I don't want to ride with you either!" Hilary said crossing here arms.

"Ok hold on hold on! We need to figure out who is riding with whom." Ray said trying to keep the peace.

"How about I just don't go?" I said hoping the neko-jin would respond.

"Yeah me too." Tyson said glaring daggers at Hilary. I still can't believe that they go out. There like total opposites.

"You're such a copycat." I said looking at him.

"I am not! I don't see the point in going is all!"

"Yeah whatever."

He growled again before tackling me into the ground once again starting another dust cloud. We rolled around the entire floor while Hilary was nagging at us to stop. We get into play fights like these all the time but the addition of Hilary was just annoying. Max and Mariah were currently having a stare down and were throwing out reasons why they were going to be riding with Ray. To be honest I knew something was going on between Max and Tyson. They must have had a fight or something because they totally seemed to ignore each other. He didn't want to ride with me because that would be to awkward, Tyson and I would fight the entire time, anybody with Hilary would die of nagging except for Ray and Mariah, and Tyson didn't want to ride with his fake boyfriend or girlfriend. This was truly some dilemma here. "Guys come on! You're all coming with us so stop fighting!" Ray shouted over all the yelling. Everyone stopped what they were doing including Tyson who had his hand around my throat while mine's was balled into a fist about to hit him.

"I'm still not riding with him." Hilary said still glaring at the boy.

(At the snowmobile place)

I sighed and got onto the snowmobile with a less than perky pace. After that entire racket it was decided Ray and I would ride together, Tyson and Max, and Mariah and Hilary. I would not want to be on Tyson's snowmobile right now though. This was going to be a long drive. Well actually it was a race. The streets were frozen and they had a map planned out and everything. It would take about an hour just to reach the finish line. Anyways, Ray was pretty silent and I could guess why. I was letting him drive first and held onto his waist as the announcer man walked into of the middle of the road with a cap gun. He raised it in the air before speaking loudly. "On your marks! Get set!" He popped the gun and the word 'go' was drowned out by the roaring of the engines of the snowmobiles. We sped off quickly putting us immediately in first place.

"Ray!" I shouted through the loud engine after we were riding for quite awhile.

He pretended like he didn't hear me so I called his name even louder. He still didn't respond so I hit him in the stomach. "What!?"

"Why didn't you answer me!?"

"I didn't hear you!"

"That's a load of bull! Why have you been acting so weird around me?"

We turned a sharp right still holding first place. "What!?"

"I said why are you acting so weird around me!!"

"What!??"

I hit him in his stomach again and I heard him sigh. "I don't want to get married." He said so low I couldn't hear him without the engine.

"What!?"

"I said I don't want to get married!" he shouted still looking straight ahead.

"Obviously. What does that have to do with me though?"

"What!?"

"I said what does that have to do with me!?"

"I'm not sure." He said lowly. This was not working. I sighed before grabbing onto his waist and putting my chin in the crook of his neck. I could see his blush clearly forming. "What are you doing!?"

"This way I can hear you better." I said into his ear. "Are you uncomfortable?"

He shook his head no. "I said I wasn't sure."

"Sure of what?"

"Why I feel like this around you." He said lowly. A certain green leaf hanging on top of a banner suddenly caught my attention. Stupid traditions. I grabbed Ray by his chin and twisted his head around so that my lips met his for not even a second. "Will you stop doing that!?" he shouted while trying to hide the blush on his face.

I really didn't see the problem. It was tradition so why was he getting all red and worked up all of a sudden? "Stop what? I thought you said it was tradition."

"Its only tradition for two people that are close to each other."

"Aren't we close?"

He was about to answer when I suddenly felt a huge impact against the side of us. Ray swerved trying to keep control. I looked over and saw Mariah and Hilary. "Keep your hands off of my Ray Ray!"

"Ray Ray?" We were suddenly rammed again and I winced seeing the fire in her eyes. "Will you stop hitting us!?" I shouted loudly.

"Not until you let go of Ray Ray!"

"If I don't hold on I'm going to fall off!" I shouted back.

"I don't care!" She said before ramming her snowmobile into ours again.

"Mao stop it!" Ray shouted trying to keep us from flipping over.

"No!" she shouted ramming us once again. I sighed before leaning back slightly off of the vehicle and filling my hand with the snow on the ground.

"Try that again!" I shouted.

She swerved towards us and I threw the snowball as hard as I could into her face successively smacking her off of it in the process. We flew ahead of them with Ray and I laughing our asses off.

(Tyson's POV)

I pulled the gas harder and tried to catch up to the other two ahead of us. Max and I hadn't said a word to each other the entire ride. It was actually starting to piss me off. Well not really piss me off but still, I was getting tired of it. I drove about two more blocks before suddenly swerving into what looked like a forest path. I rode on for about half a minute before stopping the snowmobile and taking the key out. "Why'd you stop?" I heard his voice say from behind me.

I got up and turned my body around so we were face to face. "We're not moving until you talk to me." I said looking into his deep blue eyes.

He looked straight down. "What is there to talk about?"

"Why you keep avoiding me, why you act like you don't know me, and most importantly why you act like we're not even friends."

"You said it yourself that we were no longer friends Tyson."

"Look I know what I said but you know more than I did that I didn't mean it. If you don't feel the same way I did about you that's fine but it's still no reason to hate me for is it?"

"No it's not but Tyson that's not it."

"Then what is it Maxie?" I took his hand in mine and held it right there.

"I don't know what I'm feeling right now ok? I'm just really confused. I know I want you to stay my friend though. I want us to go back to the way we were. I do have feelings for you Tyson I know I do but I just don't know how to express them."

I softly stroked his cheek where a tear was currently forming. "If that's what you want Maxie then I'm ok with it too." He smiled and hugged me.

"Thanks." He said squeezing the life out of my stomach.

I blushed before standing back up. "Come on. We've got a race to win." He smiled and I turned around putting the key back in the ignition. My heart finally felt like a huge weight was taken off of it but I guess you can call me selfish or something because I wasn't really satisfied. I guess we were friends again but Max just said he had feelings for me but he didn't know how to express them. Hells no I wasn't ok with that! I guess I can wait on him to make his decision though. I don't want to mess us up again. Max held onto my waist tightly and we sped off down the path to what hopefully wouldn't get us lost. Actually maybe that would be a good thing.

(Ray's POV)

Gosh this was just getting way to heated! Kai kissed me twice already because of mistletoe, but that was just because I told him it was tradition. He obviously doesn't approve of the marriage but is that for my own good for because he really cares about me? He also just asked me if we're close but is he talking about friendship wise or actually like like wise? Dammit my head is just so messed up right now. Was Kai doing all of this stuff out of innocence and ignorance to what it actually meant or does he know what he's doing? "So are we close or what?" he asked me as I held onto his waist. I didn't feel like driving so we switched.

"Yeah I think we are. Which kind of close though?" I said playing it as cool as physically possible.

"What other kind of close is there?"

I blushed and was so happy he couldn't see my face. "Well there's close as in friendship and there's close as in actually in love." I said hoping he didn't hear the last part.

"Oh. Well which are we?"

I sweat dropped. Kai could ask the most embarrassing question in the world to anyone without batting an eyelash. I suddenly had a plan. "You answer first." I said smiling at my ingeniousness.

"No."

There goes that plan. There was suddenly a loud crash and we looked directly to the left of us to see Tyson and Max flying off of what looked like a homemade ramp. They flew high in the air while cheering and landed right in front of us. They sped off passing us up very quickly. Kai cranked the gas up high and we sped off after them. Kai suddenly ducked down and a snowball hit me in the face. I blinked a few times just seeing white. "Max that's playing dirty!" I shouted seeing that the blonde was turned around and throwing snowballs at us.

"Sorry Ray!" he shouted throwing another at us. Kai moved quickly to the left dodging it but nearly ramming into a street light.

"Don't throw things at my Ray Ray!" I suddenly heard behind us.

"Ray Ray!?" Tyson, Max, and Kai said at the same time before laughing loudly. I sighed.

"It's not funny! And Mao stop calling me that!"

Hilary was driving this time and she suddenly sped up hitting Tyson and Max's vehicle with theirs. Max hauled snowball after snowball at Hilary's face covering her entire face with white snow. I laughed to myself as Kai took this as an opportunity to speed up. The finish line was clearly in sight and it was getting pretty close. We passed up everyone else and we were on a straight away. That's when I suddenly felt some extra weight. "Maria! Get off of my snowmobile!" I shouted trying to pull the clinging girl off of my body.

"No way Ray Ray! We win together or not at all!" she said holding on tightly. I heard Kai sigh before hitting the hand brake hard and causing Mariah to go flying through the finish line and into the snow. "I won!!!" she shouted jumping up and down.

Tyson and Max came in next speeding down the finish line and accidentally smacking the living crap out of Mariah sending her flying who knows where. "We won! We won!!!" They shouted jumping up and down with huge smiles on their faces. "Hey did we hit something?" Max asked suddenly seeing the dent in the snowmobile.

"Who cares? We won!!!" Tyson shouted loudly again. Kai and I rode up after and stopped right behind them.

"If you're crazy wife hadn't jumped on us we could have won." Kai said in a matter-of-factly tone.

"I know and I'm sorry. I didn't expect her to do that." I said bowing my head down.

"Whatever we lost anyways." He said smiling a little.

We looked over to Tyson and Max who were currently wrestling in the snow, their smiles back on their faces. "Whatever was bugging them is gone now too." I said smiling.

"Yeah but that just means more noise." Kai said holding his head again.

I laughed. "That's the only thing you ever worry about."

Hilary suddenly appeared walking through the finish line. Everyone stopped to stare at her because her hair was a mess, her clothes were ripped, and she was glaring at Tyson. "TYSON!!! IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU I COULD HAVE WON!!! INSTEAD YOU GO AND LET ME CRASH INTO A TREE!!!!" she shouted at the bluenette who was currently sitting on the ground next to Max.

Tyson just looked at her like she was crazy. "Huh?"

She fumed up and suddenly started stomping towards them. "I SWEAR YOU ARE THE MOST INSUFFERABLE, ANNOYING, STUPID-"

"Don't yell at my boyfriend like that!" Max suddenly shouted at her stopping her just as she reached them. Everyone gasped and looked at the blonde who was just registering what he had said. "I-I meant to say don't yell at my friend who's a boy like that. I was the one that hit you with the snowballs Hilary it's my fault you lost. If you blame it on anyone, blame it on me." He said standing in front of Tyson.

"Oh. That's what I thought you said. It's ok Maxie I forgive you. But you Mr. Kinomiya, no more kissy kissy for awhile."

"What the hell are you talking about? You're the one always trying to kiss me!" Tyson shouted at the brown haired girl who lived in her own world.

"I know but I just won't do it for awhile." She said crossing her arms.

"Fine by me." Tyson said lowly.

"What was that!?"
"Dammit here comes the migraines." Kai said next to me.

"Ray Ray!!" Mariah shouted running towards me quickly. Her hair was also a mess and she looked like she had just gotten hit by a car or something minus the blood. "Some evil person hit me with their snowmobile and now I got a boo boo!" she shouted jumping into my arms. I sighed and caught her while she pretended to cry. She suddenly stopped and looked up at Kai. "It was you!" she shouted at Kai loudly.

He looked at her still holding his head. "What was me?" he said in a pain filled voice.

"You hit me with a snowmobile!"

"Better talk to Mr. Kinomiya over there." He said pointing at Tyson.

"What is this everybody blame Tyson day?" he said standing up.

"You can't fool me Kai! I know you want Ray Ray all to yourself!"

"Heh. Ray Ray." Tyson, Max, and Kai said under their breath.

I sighed loudly before 'accidentally' dropping Mao into the snow. "Oops sorry Mao. Anyways, let's all go home. I'm pretty cold." I said trying to end the conversation ASAP.

She got up and glared at Kai before grabbing my hand. "Fine. Just make sure that pervert stays away from you." She said pulling me along with her.

"Pervert?" Kai said watching me being dragged away.

Me: Yerp that wraps up another chapter! I hope you all-

Ray: Wait the story's not over!!!

Me: Wha?

Ray: You almost forgot the 'thing'!

Me: ….. Hmmmm the thing… the thing…. Oh Snapple! I almost forgot! Sorry folks ignore dis!

Ray: Back to the fic!

(Max's POV)

I yawned pretty loudly and looked around the room. It was dark and probably pretty early in the morning. Ray and Kai were asleep in the bed next to mine's because Hilary and Mao had taken their room. I looked next to me though and noticed Tyson was gone. Deciding I wasn't going to get any more sleep nor have another opportunity like this I decided to find him so we could really talk. Quickly and quietly I got out of my bed and crept out of the room, making sure to close the door behind me. I looked down from the balcony and was almost shocked not to see him down watching TV. A thought then loomed into my head. What if he was with Hilary? What if they were… Oh my god. I walked quietly to the door which was a few feet away from our room. I could hear faint shuffling in the room and my heart beat even faster. I put my hand on the knob and slowly turned trying not to make as much noise as possible. As soon as I got it about halfway I turned it opened and I gasped and almost fell backwards. I looked up from the chest of a tan body and further up to unmistakable blue hair. "Maxie? What are you doing here?" He whispered hiding something behind his back.

I looked at him and noticed he was blushing. He was in blue pajama pants and had no shirt on. His hair was also falling loosely down his shoulders. "I wanted to talk to you. Am I interrupting something?" I said looking at my feet.

He looked at me weirdly before looking back into the room and then at what he was wearing. His face lit up bright red. "I-It's not what you think! I was just getting Hilary back for what she said about me." He said holding up a can of whipped cream.

I smiled and my heart finally started beating normally. "Thank God. Can we talk though? Somewhere private?"

"Erm sure. Let me get a shirt or something." He said running into the room. He came back out quickly with an all yellow T shirt and smiled. "Where to?"

I blushed and kissed him on the cheek. "Follow me."

Yeah I'm gonna stop it there for now. This is like a prequel to why Tyson and Max will be acting weirdly in the next chapter. They're going to be going out but in total secret. This is why they're going to be acting weirdly because there's still Hilary they've got to deal with. Meanwhile things between Kai and Ray are going to really start getting heated. Literally. Review and rate and stuff. I'll see you next time or week or so cuz I gots grounded! Bye!!
