Chapter 2
"No. I said that you have to keep the press away from the airport and the BBA building." Megan says into the phone. "They don't need the press on their backs. This is a vacation for them, not a competition...Yes...Ok thank you...Bye." Megan hangs up the phone.
"Ugggg, stupid press." Megan groans. She types away on her computer, checking the bladers' flight plan. They were due to land in London in 10 minutes, Then it would take them 30 minutes to get here.
"Here Meg, you need this." Sarah smiled, handing her a cup of good 'ol English black tea.
"Thanks Sar." Megan smiled, taking the mug in her hands.
"The press being...well, the press?" Sarah asks, sitting at her desk, next to Megan's.
"Of course." Megan smiles, taking a sip of the caffeinated liquid.
"I can't wait until you meet the guys." Sarah says.
"Chill Sarah." Megan moans. "I've seen pictures, I know what they look like. I mean I've helped arrange their blading careers." She giggles.
"True, true." Sarah laughs. "It is weird though." Sarah says, getting up. She looked at a picture on the wall. They had all the blading teams on the walls, but the Bladebreakers were framed in the middle, with a bigger picture. "You look like Tyson in some ways, its kind of freaky." She says looking at the picture.
"Tell me about it." Megan groans. "We have the same hair color and eyes. The press went nuts with it, when I made my first public appearance. Remember?"
"Haha, oh yea, that was great." Sarah laughed.
"Haha, yea, maybe for you." Megan groaned. Then they talked about the up coming tournament that was going to be held strictly in London. All the world class bladers were invited to compete. It was only a friendly competition, but it still took a lot of planning.
"Ladies!" Mr D greeted, walking in. He was an older man in his 50's with white balding hair and kind blue eyes.
"Mr D!" The girls smile, and they hug the older man.
"Where are the guys?" Sarah asks.
The old man smiled tiredly. "Tyson and Daichi happened. They found the kitchen downstairs somehow...and the guys are trying to pull them away now."
"Nice. I knew we should have locked that door." Sarah laughed.
Megan smiles, knowing that Tyson and Daichi had a love, more like addiction, to food.
"Ah, here they come." Mr D smiles, as he hears the guys talking.
"Tyson, you need to stop eating."
"Come on guys, you know I love food."
"Yea, just a little to much..."
"Hey!"
6 guys walk into the office, all around 20 years old. Megan knew for a fact that Ray Kon and Kai Hiwatari were 22, Tyson Granger and Max Tate were 20, Kenny Saji was 19, and Daichi Sumeragi was 17. Ray was chinese and had black hair and golden eyes, Kai was russian and had silver/blue hair and stormy grey eyes, Tyson, looked like her, but was japanese and had a cap on, Max was american and had blond hair and blue eyes, Kenny was japanese and had brown hair, brown eyes and glasses, and finally Daichi was japanese and had red hair and hazel eyes. Kai, Ray and Tyson were the tallest at 6'2", with Max at 6', Kenny at 5'10" and Daichi at 5'8", in comparison to Megan and Sarah who were 5'4" and 5'6" respectively.
"Boys." Mr D says, getting their attention. The guys looked at Mr D.
"Sorry Mr D." Tyson says guilty, rubbing the back of his head.
"Hello Sarah." Ray says politely.
"Hi Ray." Sarah smiles back, but Megan could tell that she was restraining herself, and couldn't help but giggle.
"And you are you?" Max asks with a smile. "I'm-"
"Max Tate." Megan finishes, holding out her hand. "I'm Megan Masefield. I know all about you guys." She smiles at Max's shocked expression. "I've basically planned out your entire blading careers for the past 3 years."
"Ah, ok, good, I was hoping that you weren't a stalker." Max smiles taking her hand.
"Don't worry Sarah is more of a stalker then I am." Megan giggles.
"Hey!" Sarah shouts, crossing her arms in front of her. The room laughs.
"I'm Ray, but you already knew that." Ray smiles, shaking her hand.
"I do." Megan smiles back.
"Daichi."
"Kenny."
Megan shook both of their hands.
"Ty- Holy moly." Tyson says, as he got a good look at Megan.
"My god, thats scary." Megan says in awe.
"Thats just weird." Daichi says, looking at the 2 of them.
"You guys look related." Kenny says, always being the curious one.
"Yea, weird." Tyson and Megan say at the same time. "Woah!" They say, shocked that they spoke at exactly the same time.
"You guys are acting like twins!" Sarah says.
"No we..." Megan starts.
"Are not!" Tyson finishes.
"Ok, please stop!" Daichi shouts, holding his head. "I'm getting a headache."
"Anyway." Kai says. "I'm Kai." He introduces.
"Megan, nice to meet you." Megan smiles.
"Now kids." Mr D says. They were all kids to him. "Ladies, do you want to show the boys around?"
"Sure Mr D!" Sarah says, jumping to grab her coat.
"Stalker." Megan whispers under her breath. Kai, who was closest to her, chuckled.
Ray looked over at the 2 of them and smiled. Kai had come a long way since Ray had first met him, but he had never gotten so comfortable with someone so quickly. He usually kept his distance for a day or 2 until he trusted them enough to stand near them and talk a little.
"So where's some good British food?" Daichi asks.
"You mean fish n chips?" Megan giggled.
"Yea!" Tyson shouts. "Get me some Fish n chips!"
"Tyson..." Kenny warns.
"Oh chill Chief. I won't choke again." Tyson says, waving off Kenny's worries. The guys called Kenny, 'Chief' as they looked to him for advice as their mechanic.
"Does he choke a lot?" Megan asks Ray and Kai.
"All the time." Ray smiles wryly.
"And he never learns." Kai says. Megan felt bad for Kai. He was the captain after all, and he had to make sure Tyson didn't get into to much trouble.
"Completely Mental?" Megan asks.
"Completely." Kai smiles.
The group goes into a local cafe and sit down.
"So you've lived in London your whole life Megan?" Ray asks.
"No." Megan says shaking her head. "I'm originally from Russia. I was born in Russia and then when I was 10, I moved to Northern Ireland and lived there for a while. When I was 15, I moved here. Sarah's family took me in and I started working for Mr D 3 years ago."
"What did your parents do?" Kai asks.
"I don't know. Didn't have any." Megan shrugged. "I've always been in foster homes, ever since I was born. Never knew my family. Though my foster parents said that they found me running away from something, when they found me at 10 years of age. I don't remember it though, my first memory was when I was 10. I've only known my foster parents in Russia for a couple of days until they sent me to my foster parents and brother in Northern Ireland for 5 years. When I was 15, I was old enough to take care of myself. I always wanted to live in England, so I hoped a ferry and I lived with Sarah's family for 4 years, and I finally got my own place last year." Megan shrugged. She didn't mind talking about her past.
"Wow, sorry about that Megan." Tyson says, over hearing the story.
"Not your fault Tyson. But it is creepy that we look so a like." Megan cringes.
"Definitely." Tyson laughs.
"You where born in Tokyo right?" Megan ask.
"Correct, yea. I live with Gramps and my older brother Hiro, who you know is our coach."
"Yea, where is Hiro? He didn't come with you guys?" Sarah asks.
"No, he is here. I think he's talking to Mr D though about the tournament. He had a meeting with a bunch of people or something." Tyson says, waving it off.
"Bloody Hell!" Megan shouts, her British/ Irish accent coming through heavily.
"What?" Max says looking around for danger.
"I was supposed to be at that meeting! Sorry guys!" Megan says sprinting out of the cafe.
