Tyson and his grandpa were waiting by the bus station. Tyson's cousins were coming and he wasn't looking forward to it. One of them was ok but the other was a pain in the ass. "Can't one of them just come Grandpa?" He groaned as the bus approached them. "Hey, cool it little dude. This is our family we're talking about."
"Not Lilly." Tyson grunted.
It stopped and out stepped a small stream of people. The last two were girls. One was a bit shorter than Tyson and was about the same age. She had long black hair with red streaks coming out from under a black wide rimmed hat. Her clothes held no other colour and she wore a long, black leather coat that reached her ankles. The other was smaller and a couple of years younger than Tyson. She had red hair with blue streaks and her clothes were light in colour. Apart from her white top and trainers they were a disgustingly bright pink colour.
The reason why Tyson was groaning became clear. The older one knew how to pack for two weeks. She had a black shoulder sports bag packed with clothes and a couple of other things. But the younger one had two small suitcases bursting at the seams with clothes. 'Who knows if she'll wear more than half of that lot.' He moaned.
Grandpa came towards them and helped the younger girl with her suitcases. The older one walked behind them not looking as happy as she did last time they came here. However the younger one looked happy and lively. "Hey Tyson!" She exclaimed and Tyson greeted her just as nicely. "Hi Lilly." He had a deal with grandpa, he tries to be nice to the little brat and he'll give Tyson a surprise.
He greeted the other one and she nodded. He knew why she was depressed but it was best not to mention it around her. "Hey Saphire." She had gotten the name due to her blue eyes that were hidden under her hat. They used to be alive and happy, but now they were dull and full of sadness.
'Just what the world needs, another Kai.' He thought as he watched her sit in the car.
When they got there the girls went inside. Saphire took her luggage whilst Tyson was left behind with Lilly's. Just then the rest of Tyson's team arrived. "Hey Tyson what took you so long." Max called to him as he got out the car. "Sorry Max bus was delayed."
"Hurry up, we've got training to do." Tyson glared at Kai as he lugged one of the heavy suitcases to his house. He dumped the luggage in the training room. Saphire's mobile rang and she answered it. "Yeah? I'm here now, you know where to pick me up."
"Huh?" She gave Tyson a look as if to say 'keep your nose out' and he did.
When the two girls came outside they noticed Kai. "Hi, we didn't know you would be here too." Lilly said and smiled at him. Kai nodded and Saphire did the same. "You know each other?" Tyson asked looked curiously between them. "It's a long story with an even longer explanation. So let's just keep this short. Yes we know Kai and he knows us. End of story." She walked off leaving Tyson annoyed and Kai with a smirk on his face.
When they came back outside they introduced themselves apart from Kai. Lilly didn't blade and wasn't interested in it so she had no idea as to who they were. Saphire did but didn't care. "We're off to practice. So you two stay here until I get back." But the girls shook their heads. "I'm going to my friends house and then we're off to the mall."
"You still have a friend here from last year Lilly?" Tyson asked incredulously. "Yeah, we kept in touch. And Saphire's got people here too."
"Really who?" Lilly was about to answer but Saphire covered her mouth. "Never you mind." She spat and a red convertible came round the corner. It stopped in front of her and Tyson just couldn't believe who was in it.
Crusher, Garland, Mystel and Brooklyn sat there looking at her. "What the hell are you doing with them?" Tyson yelled and Saphire ran to the car and literally jumped in. "Damn Saphire, when you said you were related to someone we knew you weren't kidding." Mystel gasped.
"Just drive." She growled and they zoomed away from a very angry Tyson. "Easy Tyson their her friends not ours." Tyson watched Lilly walk off to her friend's house. "The last thing we need is for Lilly's friend to be Ming Ming." He growled as they went off to blade.
The training session was long and gruelling…so training as usual in Kai's eyes. By the end of it they were exhausted but pleased with their progress. Lilly had come back with her friend who thankfully wasn't Ming Ming. But Saphire didn't return even when it got dark. "Where is she grandpa?" Tyson growled as Grandpa grew worried. "I'm sure she's fine Tyson so cool it little dude." Kai and Kenny were staying the night too. The boys would be sleeping on the floor in the training room whilst the girl's had Tyson's room. He had to clean it yesterday and it took him ages. There was enough room for Saphire to sleep on the floor and their luggage.
Grandpa and Tyson stayed up waiting for Saphire to get home. Everyone decided to make a night of it and sat up talking about things. Not being able to sleep Kai went outside alone and sat in the garden. By midnight Lilly decided to go to sleep unable to keep her eyes open.
She opened Tyson's window and spotted Kai. "Night Kai." She said and he nodded in reply. Tyson, Grandpa and Kenny sat in the living room with some tea and talked about nothing important.
The door leading to the garden finally opened and Saphire stepped in. "Long night?" She didn't answer Kai and climbed in to Tyson's opened window. He smirked and went inside. "Saphire's back." He told them plainly before unrolling his bed in the training room. Grandpa and Tyson looked angry but decided to keep their questions silent until the morning. Kenny and Tyson joined Kai in the training room and fell asleep.
