Ashlee stopped before knocking on Tysons front door. She knew all the bladers were having a barbeque, and just a small party to relax before everyone and everything gets serious for the huge tournament.

She swallowed loudly, and rubbed her palms against her black dress. She looked down and examined her outfit.

Don't be nervous. Check out yer outfit. Make sure look good.

A short black dress with sliver stars, and a tight fitted black vest. The dress was a bit low and she felt her chest was being exposed, but felt better with the vest to cover up more. She never wore girly shoes, instead she wore a pair of bright red converse to pop out against her black attire.

Oh yeah, I'm hot.

Ashlee smiled to herself, and thought, I've been hanging out with the guys for about a week now, and we've all been good friends so far. I hope it'll work out with Tyson….

Ashlee slowly moved her hand towards the big doors to knock, but suddenly, they fly open, and Max stands at the entrance, with a smile on his face.

"Whoa, you made it!"

Way to give a girl a heart attack!

Ashlees heart was pouding in her chest, and she ran her fingers through her hair, trying to relax.

Max cocked his head to one side, "Are you ok?"

Oh yeah, you only scared the living shit outta me, I'm fine Max.

"Uh, yeah, I'm okay. Is Tyson in a bad mood?"

Max shook his head, "No he's fine, he's just stuffing his face like usual."

Ashlee nodded, "Oh okay,cool."

Max let her in, and the guys smiled at her. Miguel ran over, and poked her cheeks.

"Look at you! Don't you look cute?"

Ashlee moved his hands away, "Uh huh, real cute."

Tyson eyes followed Rei, and Rei hugged Ashlee.

"Oh great, she made it," Tyson muttered.

Tyson got up from the bench he was sitting at, and walked over to Ashlee.

She stared at him, and he stared back.

"Hi."

Ashlee frowned, "Hello."

Silence.

Crickets chirped.

Awkward much?!

"So."

Ashlee s' black eyes bore into Tyson s' and he nervously looked down.

"So." Ashlee repeated.

"You made it," Tyson murmured, still staring at a blade of grass.

Ashlee walked over slowly, and "Here."

Her arms extended to reveal a small red box.

Tyson stared, "A box. That's nice."

Rei slapped his forehead. "Idiot…"

Claude coughed and nudged Miguel, who laughed silently.

A box. Really Tyson, because I thought it was an animals ass crack!

Ashlee shook her head, biting her tongue.

"Um yeah, it's a gift. To you."

Tysons eyebows arched, and he stared at her. "Me?"

"No, it's for the neighbors. I thought I should show you first." She sighed.

"Sarcastic much?"

"Stupid much?!"

Max busted out laughing, and Daichi joined in.

Ashlee and Tyson glared at each other.

Kai raised en eyebrow, and realized it was the gift she had brought for Tyson the other day. He smiled at himself, remembering when he walked her home, but Rei cut through his blissful memory.

"Hey, Tyson, she got a gift. She's being nice, why don't you just accept it?" Rei muttered.

Tyson stared at Rei like he said, "Marry her and make pretty babies."

"Fine," he growled. He snatched it out of her hands, and opened it quickly.

It was a round, metal piece for his beyblade. The piece he had been looking for, for months.

He couldn't say a word.

"I knew you were looking for it, I heard you talking about it the other day, and well, when we went shopping, I thought, 'Oh perfect timing!', and thats why it took so long, I had to be sure it was the one, and I just wanted you to know, I do like you, as a friend, obviously, and I knew you'd like it, so I was like, 'Good, he won't hate me'...."

Tyson stared at the girl, while she rambled on nervously, her face red, her eyes a lighter, warmer color.

"Um. Thank you, I mean, this is really nice of you."

"Whoooooaaaa!" Daichi s' scratchy voice rang above the others low chatter.

"Look whose actually blushing! Check it out dudes, Ashlees like, beet red!"

DAICHI, YOU STUPID MONKEY!

Automatically, all eyes fell upon Ashlee's face. "Ah!" She looked down quickly, concentrating on grass. Tysons head popped up inches from her face, "Wow!" He exclaimed loudly, "You are blushing!"

"SHUT UP!" She hissed.

Kai walked over, a smirk on his face, and he pushed Tyson out of the way.

"Hey!"

He extended his hand to cup Ashlees chin, and he forced her head up, her eyes wide, and honey colored now. Her face was crimson colored, and her lips were set into a thin line.

"My, my. You really are blushing Ashlee."

Oh Kai, get away, you'll make me blush even more!

If I get turned on because he's holding my chin, I'll shoot myself.

But Ashlee could feel feelings she never felt before creep all over her.

Kai smiled, he liked the way he made this girl stutter, and blush. He liked the way her eyes turn the softest of colors, and he loved the way she smiled when he said her name.

"Uh, hm, err…yeah."

Ashlee wanted to rip out her tongue.

"It's very cute."

"Um. Thank you?"

Sometimes, Kais ability to make me talk like a complete and utter idiot, is quite frustrating.

Kai smiled, "Your welcome."

He let go of her chin, and Ashlee felt frozen. Tyson stared at her, "Anyway, before I was interrupted," He glared at Kai, who smirked, "I wanna thank you for the gift, and…."

But Ashlee wasn't listening. Her eyes were set on Kai, her heart was pounding away, ready to burst out of her rib cage. All she could hear was his voice, echoing in her ears.

Tyson could feel his face burn with shame, here he was, talking and talking, and the girl wasn't even listening!

"Hullo! Ashlee! Ya know, I was really thinking of giving you a chance, here!"

Ashlee shook her head mentally, "What?"

"What's wrong with you?"

Ashlee was taken back by his rude question, "There is nothing wrong with me, I haven't eaten anything all day, and I'm hungry."

"Well, you were staring at Kai, like he was the greatest person to ever walk on the Earth!"

Tala whistled, "Ashlees got a crush!"

"I'm just hungry!"

"Hungry for Kai!" Max teased.

"Shuddaup!"

Tyson reached up, and held Ashlees face firmly in his hands, "Thank you for the gift. Seriously, I've been looking for it everywhere, and it means alot to me that you went through all that trouble. So, thanks."

Tyson watched the girl blink several times, and she smiled, "It was nothing."

She's so damn cute....

Smiling weakly back, Tyson let go of her face, "Yeah, so let's eat."

The barbaque went on smoothly, everyone cracking jokes, and having a good time. Music played, and Ashlee would get up and dance with the other girls, twirling them around, and just goofing off.

One song in paticular got the guys to crack up watching Ashlee lip sing, and dance, being a complete goof.

It was Lady GaGa, "Let's Dance."

"I've had a little bit too much, all of the people start to rush by, start to rush by....

Cant find my drink or man, where are my keys, I lost my phone,

Whats going on, on the floor? I love this record baby, but I cant see straight anymore....

Whats the name of this club, I can't remember, but it's all right, all right...."

Hilary and Mariah fell over laughing, while Ashlee danced, and sang, shaking her butt and hips, grinding aganist some of the guys, and then twirling off to shake her butt in Mariahs face. Everyone laughed, and Ashlee cracked up, saying, "I know, I'm crazy."

At the end of the night, everyone made smores, and discussed the best smores are burnt, black on the outside, but gooey on the inside. Ashlee was the only one who disagreed, her face twisted in disgust, "Thats nasty!"

Tyson stared incredously at the girl, "What?!"

"I like mine toasted, a little brown, but not burnt, when they're black and taste like cinders."

"Strangest girl ever," Rei commented.

Max nodded, "Yep. But she's the coolest."

Ashlee stuck out her tongue, revealing a purple stud, "Better believe it!"

"Heyyy! When you'd get your tongue periced?!" Mariah seemed amazed.

Ashlee shrugged, "About two years ago. I just got it done all the way in the back, so my Dad wouldn't see in the beginning. He knows now, but he doesn't care anymore. He's used to it." She smiled.

Mariahs eyes were huge, "Did it hurt?"

"Nope."

"Wow. My parents are so strict, I'm not allowed to have ANYTHING peirced."

Ashlee giggled, "I wasn't allowed, but I got them done anyway."

Claude rose his eyebrows in surprise, "Them?"

"Uh huh, but I took most of them out."

Max chewed thoughtfully, "How many peircings did you have?"

"Uhm, my eyebrow, my nose, my lip, seven in my ear, my belly button, and my tongue."

"Whoa! Thats nineteen!" Mariah counted.

"Good to know you're brilliant at Math," Tyson snickered.

"You got all of those done, without you're Fathers permission?"

"Yessir. All nineteen, after awhile, he told me to take nose, lip, and eyebrow studs out."

"I dont see any holes though, " Claude muttered.

"Make up."

"So, where're the others?" Claude asked.

Ashlee flipped her head forward, pullling her long, thick mane of hair back, and pointed to her both her ears. "Seven in each."
She stuck out her tongue, "Fifteen."

And then let loose her hair, and pointed to her stomache, though no one could see, "Sixteen."

"You're a little rebel, huh?" Rei grinned.

"You could say that," Ashlee winked.

Finally, it was time for everyone to leave. Ashlee helped clean up, and the only boys that stayed were Tyson, Max, Rei, and Kai.

Tyson held a strand of Ashlees caramel hair, "Can I talk to you for a second?"

Ashlee smiled, "Sure, since I have no way of escaping."

He rolled his eyes, and they walked to a private room, Tyson slowing closing the door.

Ashlee's eyes got wide, "No, Please! I won't tell anyone you killed him! Just don't kill me!"

Tyson frowned, "Very funny."

"I know."

"I just wanted to thank you again for the gift, and to apologize for being such an ass to you. Seriously, I'm sorry."

Ashlee walked over to Tyson, and held one of his hands, "Hey don't worry about it. We're cool now, right?"

Tyson squeezed her hand, "Yeah, of course."

"So, no worries!"

But Tyson still looked worried, as though he were anticipating something.

"I have a gift for you too."

Now, Ashlee was surprised, "Really? When do I get it?.... I mean, gee, you didn't have to."

It worked.

Tyson smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes.

"You get it now, but close your eyes."

So Ashlee did, and she listened to the crickets gentle song, and the twinkle of the bell chimes, when suddenly, Tyson kissed her.

OMG?!

Ashlee eyes shot open in surprise, and Tyson continued to kiss her. His lips moved in an unfamiliar way, rough, yet sweet.

But Ashlee didn't kiss him back, her lips would not move. She shut her eyes, and finally, Tyson stopped, pulling back, breathing hard.

Ashlee didn't know what to feel, her fingers crept up, to touch her lips, that tingled.

What was that?! What was that?!?!!??! Her mind screeched in confusion.

Tyson said nothing, but he leaned in quickly, and pecked her cheek.

"Good night Ashlee."

Ashlee opened her mouth, and all her words jumbled together, into a strange noise, when she realized with embearassment, that her voice cracked.

Oh damn!

Tyson turned around, "What did you say?"

Smooth move, Chewbacca!

Ashlee clamped her hands over her mouth, and she shook her head vigourously.

He stared at her, and then walked out of the room.

Ashlee sighed, "I fail at kissing. Absolute epic fail."
