Falco276: Yay! So excited for 1st commercial break! Aren't you excited Skylark?
Skylark: Nah, I'm cool. Yeah, sure. What bout you, Whitney?
Whitney: (kneels down and changes the subject.) Why did they both decline me?
Falco276 and Skylark: Who?
Whitney: They looked so cute. KYAAAAA!
Skylark: (sigh) Someone get me tape.
Falco276: All right guys, I'll leave it to you!
(Important Note from author: Sorry guys about mentioning Rago from last chapter because in my point of view, there is supposed to be 2 Rago's. The Rago who owns Nemesis and Rago Kishatu, the 2nd brother of Ryuga, yes, apart from Ryuto. He's not a blader and dosen't own a dragon beyblade. He's just a brother and somewhat much shorter than Ryuto and Ryuga but hey! He sounds cool! So….. that's what I wanted to tell you. ^_^) Enjoy! :D
Previously on the Metal Awards FINALE:
Everyone in the stadium started adapting the atmosphere of crowding cheers and roaring whistles for the Voting Introductions went slightly well. Skylark at the end confessed to Wanda that she needed to go on a relaxing vacation for everyone in the stadium thought that they were going to lose the host for sure. That left Whitney excited to be taking her place during the 1st commercial break.
"Whoo-hoo! I get to be the host!" Whitney said excitedly as she began to dance in front of Wanda and Mark in the control room.
"Congrats, Whitney, but what happened to Skylark?" Mark asked as he played the song Feel This Moment by Pitbull and Christina Aguilera through the speakers of stadium.
The co-host leaned against one of the dashboard controls, being very careful not to mess up the song that played out through the stadium, "Went for a vacation."
Mark stopped on what he was doing and looked at her with wide eyes like saucers through his glasses, "Why?"
"Because everyone in the stadium slightly ignored her through out the OC introduction."
"Oh, that sometimes happens." Wanda admitted, browsing through one of her brother's latest creations on the computer screen.
"Well…" Whitney said as she began to step backwards towards the door to the hallway. "I'll leave you guys to it."
The song was still playing in the background by the time Whitney reached the stage. Skylark was not in sight (yes, she was still on vacation.) and everybody started their own talks through out the stadium.
Why did Skylark let me be the host during a commercial break!? Whitney thought in frustration. I can't even announce the winners who won an award! Grrr… Skylark why did you have to do this!?
But changing her mind about being the host, she stared at Ryuga, continuing to talk to his brothers like he was having fun. Yes! Maybe without Skylark's notice, I can finally pester the dragon emperor and finally get his information! KYAAAAA! Okay, I need to stop doing that. Well, I'm off to meet him now.
And with that, she skipped towards the seat railings and ascended the stairs levels as she found the correct row to the cute white haired blader.
Meanwhile, with Team Starbreakers and Team Dungeon….
"I hope Team Dungeon will win the first award. Don't you agree, Masamune?" Jack said as he playfully punched the unicorn blader on the side.
"Yeah…." muttered Masamune as he kept his head low, Kat trying to cheer him up.
"Aww… c'mon Masamune. It's not that long. I'm sure you guys would win in no time." Kat said encouragingly, making Toby smile in agreement.
Damian, on the other hand, didn't smile in agreement along with the team. He was too busy playing game on his Nintendo DS (He did that in the last Metal Awards) ignoring his fellow team members. Good thing is, he didn't start an argument until the end of the Voting introductions.
"Let it go, we will win this time." The kerbecks blader quietly muttered as he continued to play his game.
Suddenly, Jack stood up and proudly looked across the stadium, one foot on the red padded seat infront of him.
"If only, if only there was a painter's award, I will distribute my wonderful creations through out the stadium for everyone to admire! Aw, man! Imagine if-…"
"Grrr! Okay we know now Jack! You and your stupid paintings!" Damian hauled the Befall blader back to his seat.
"Hey! What was that for!?" Jack complained.
"For talking about your stupid creepy paintings!" he hit back.
"What!?" Jack shrieked as the two now fought over the peacock wielder's favourite hobby.
Toby sighed, "There goes another argument."
Meanwhile with the Kishatu brothers….
"Bro, remember the old times?" Ryuto told the dragon emperor, who was still on Beybook Mobile.
Ryuga sighed, "Yeah. I wish I had L-drago now so that I can battle other bladers, including Gingka."
"You can do it, Ryugi!" Whitney suddenly piped up beside him.
The dragon emperor slightly fell back with shock and twitched at his nickname, the same nickname the waitress girls used to call him when he worked as a manager at an Asian pan sushi restaurant called Bento Café.
"You again! No, Whitney. I don't care. I wish I either had L-drago now to let it bite your head off or let Skylark take you away."
Whitney suddenly kneeled down and whimpered, "But, but. You don't like me?"
"No."
"Oh, well." She sadly sniffed. "I have another guy that could cheer me up."
And with that the co-host stared towards the pyromainiac.
Ryuto looked at a poor Whitney heading towards the other side of the stadium, "Gee, Ryuga, I hope you didn't hurt her feelings."
The dragon emperor simply smirked, "At least she's not going to annoy me now since Skylark is going to come back in a few hours."
"Maybe." The Dragonis blader nodded in agreement.
With the Camp Half-blood side….
"Thanks guys for bringing me here!" Xion said in excitement as her friends nodded in agreement.
"You're welcome, Xion (Zion)" Roxas giggled.
"C'mon! When's the break gonna end?" whined Axel, who spotted Whitney heading towards him, and looked the other way. "Hey, Roxas. I could use some sea-salt ice cream now."
"Oh, right. Sure I'll get 3, ok?"
"Alright, cool." The pyro agreed as he still kept eyeing the co-host with his emerald eyes.
Great. Now I have to meet her again. He thought and…..
"Hi Axel!" Whitney said happily, placing out a hand for a hand shake.
"Erm, hi." The pyro said nervously as he shook it slowly. "What's up? Didn't Skylark say that you're supposed to be the co-host?"
"Well, she went for vacation, so I was in charge and now I finally get to meet you!"
"O-kay? Well, what do you want from me? And you better not steal my sea-salt ice cream once Roxas gets back with them."
"Awww. I just wanted to ask if I could be friends with you on Beybook." Whitney begged.
The pyro wasen't sure and almost sweat dropped,
"Erm, fine as long as you don't disturb me while I fix my glider." (Yes, he's into aviation.)
Whitney gasped in surprise, "KYAAA! Axel, you're awesome!" and proceeded to give a hug again, only for the pyro to back away.
"What's happening?" asked Xion, who looked at Whitney for the first time.
"Eh, she's just a friend." Axel nervously said, cuffing a hand over the co-host's mouth before she could say anything cute about him.
Xion took that as an 'okay.'
At Bey café….
"Sorry kid, that's the last 3 of them, no more." The guy at the smoothie section of Bey café said.
"Um, thanks." The son of Hermes headed towards the Parthenon entrance when he didn't see a blur of orange ramming into him, making both of them fall down on their butts. Roxas quickly looked at the ice cream before standing up and seeing who he bumped into. Amazing. The ice cream was still intact in his hands. Yes, all 3 of them without touching the ground.
"I'm really sorry. Are you okay?" Roxas asked as he helped the small boy stand up who was no other than Yuu Tendo, the ice cream lover. It reminded him of a 4th grader from Sunrise Elementary School.
"I'm fine." He said calmly as his eyes wistfully stared at the ice cream that Roxas was holding. The Libra blader couldn't help it but ask and try about new flavors. "Ahhh! I never saw that flavor before. What is it?"
"Its sea-salt. Why?"
"I must try it! Where did you get it from!?" Yuu begged.
"Over there." Roxas pointed to Bey café.
"OMG. You're the best!" Yuu hugged him in happiness and bounded forth to get the new flavor.
Meanwhile in Beystadium….
"Here, I got the last 3 available there." Roxas said he handed one to Axel and the other one to Xion.
"Aw, man, its been awhile!" the pyro said excitedly as he took the first lick of the salty sweet popsicle.
The poppet just giggled while enjoying the ice cream.
Whitney sat down next to Axel, "So what's that?"
"Um, sea-salt ice cream?" the pyro said awkwardly.
"Cool, can I try one?" the co-host asked.
"Erm, this all there is." The son of Hephaestus told her.
Whitney simply pouted and sat down.
At Bey café again…
"WHAT!?" shrieked Yuu in disbelief.
The guy just looked at him, "Well, those were the last 3, I don't have any more."
"No, but that flavor- Oh! What was it?!" Yuu thought out loud, repeatedly snapping his fingers by his ear.
"Was it the sea-salt ice cream?" the guy suggested.
Yuu stopped thinking, "YES! That's the one! I always wanted to try new flavors! Please, do you have it?"
"Um, listen kid. As I told you earlier, we don't have it anymore. I gave those last 3 to the spiky haired boy you bumped into."
"I don't care! I just wan it!" Yuu argued.
"Well, I don't know what to say. You can enjoy our other flavors like chocolate, vanilla, rocky road-…"
The Libra blader cut him off, "I JUST WANT THE SEA SALT ICE CREAM!"
"Calm down, kid. You're giving me a headache. Fine, I'll imageneer it for you." The guy proceeded to make the popsicle appear out of thin air and in his hands as a 'construct.'
"Cost 10 Munny." He said as he handed it to Yuu.
"What? What's Munny?"
"It's the official currency of Co:pern:ica. First invented in Twilight Town." The guy sighed.
"Finally I get to taste it!" Yuu said wistfully as he paid the guy 10 Munny and then walked towards the Parthenon entrance, enjoying the new flavor for the first time.
"Gee, Tsubasa would love this. I need to make him try this!" Yuu said to himself as he opened the door to the lobby and entered the stage.
Yes, 1st commercial break end!
The first award will be starting with best team tomorrow (next chapter)
Have typing this chapter all day because I felt like it.
Yes, Skylark will return in the next chapter (I will force her to say on how everything went.) and Whitney….. she just found a new friend to talk to.
Axel (yelping): Get her away from me!
Haha, nice one pyro!
Yeah, sorry if it was short. Slightly made up ideas as fast as I could.
So everyone who is reviewing on this story including SkylarkOfTheMoon, I would love to thank you for all the support for this. Without you guys, I would have never made this.
Yes, seek out chapter 5!
BYEZ! :D
