I felt so sad for Tyson, he's all alone now, and didn't get to confess he's feelings for Kai, poor Tyson :(
I wasn't expecting everyone to leave so soon. And just when Tyson decided he liked having everyone around.

I hope you'll read those too! Thanks for all your support!
Enjoy the ride everyone!
Tyson's eyes raced around the room, which seemed gigantic compared to how it looked prior. No one was left… it was just Tyson. Tyson felt so empty knowing he could possibly never see Kai again. It stung more than a thousand bee stings, burned worse than the fires in hell, hurt more than being hit head on by a train. He didn't know what to do. He had become as blank as a slate knowing there was nothing left.
Tyson slowly rose from the dojo floor and began calling out a simple name that echoed through the empty house. "Emily?" It was then, that every door he could find, he would open it and shout for one of his friend's names in hope to find one of them. Once he had decided to search the kitchen, he opened the oven in hopes to find Spencer. Noticing he wasn't in there, Tyson made his way over to his blood red microwave and opened it, softly calling: "Tala?" It was hopeless. He had opened every door in the house, looking for his friends he had witnessed leave… Looking for the friends he thought would be there forever. Once arriving in the Dojo once more, Tyson plopped himself down only to begin scribbling on the floor with Bryan's left behind pencil. Kinder was grasped tightly in Tysons fingers as he wore down the sharpened point until it was nothing but a flat piece of graphite in a pencil that began splitting in two.
It was then that Tyson had an idea. He was hungry… VERY hungry. He sauntered out of the room, noticing the TV blown up prior to Tyson's hunger by the beautiful Mariah.
"MMMMMMMM Looks like CANDY!" Tyson screamed, taking a spontaneous bite out of the television. Needless to say: Ouch.
"It's great to be home, isn't it Lee?" Mariah grabbed her brothers arm in hopes he would stop frowning.
"Yeah…"
"Where's Kevin?"
"Well…he went from the airport washroom, to the airplane washroom… so according to my calculations, I'm assuming that he is going to be in our washroom now."
"Luckily we have two bathrooms!" Mariah exclaimed skipping into the remaining free washroom.
"With all the washrooms you blow up, I think we need six…." Mariah stood in front the mirror, letting her hair down to stare at herself once more. It was then, that she felt complete and utter disappointment in herself.
"I'm sorry…" She said to her reflection. "I know you're super sexy and all, but… I have another girl back at Tyson's dojo that loves me more than you do. She's just as pretty as you… but… not as fat. Sorry, but that reflection is WAAAY hotter than you. LOVE YOU~! Kay, bye!" Mariah then lit the wick of the dynamite she somehow snuck aboard the airplane and slipped it behind the mirror to say goodbye to her less sexy reflection…
"What was that Mariah?" Lee sighed, knowing Mariah had somehow blown up ANOTHER washroom.
"I don't know… the mirror just kind of… exploded or something. I don't know how!" Lee facepalmed as Mariah sat next to him. "What you doing?"
"Sticking stickers to the ground…"
"Oh…" Mariah pondered. "What should we do Lee… I… I can't feel happy here… Spencer…"
"I thought all you cared about was your reflection?"
"I…I really like Spencer though…" Lee let out a quick smirk which faded within seconds. The Chinese teen started gazing lovingly at his younger sister, and ever so gently planted a firm sticker on her cheek. This act continued as the pink haired girl became covered head to toe in various animal stickers.
Tyson had become lonelier and lonelier with each passing day that went by. He began creating stickers in his newly bought sticker maker and collecting them until there were a couple hundred scattered all over the floor. All Tyson did was sit around, shower and sleep a couple hours only to repeat. His first heartbreak was more than he could handle. Tyson was left without an appetite and without sleep for the painful days that lay ahead.
In nearly a trance, Tyson lifted the newly made sticker from its wrapping and balanced it on his finger. To his dismay, he was not as skilled as Lee was, and it continued to fall off. Once he finally had a hold on his stickering skills, he pressed a pretty little puppy sticker onto his forearm, and continued to sticker the rest of his body. Eventually, Tyson had stickers all over his arms, legs and cheeks. He had finally topped off his body art with a simple sticker to the nose. Tyson began to block out the memories that he just had, even though they seeped through in everything he did. What did he do to deserve this? He felt as if he had them there all his life and they just got up and left. Though it was a short time, Tyson believed that they had become closer than family in those few short days. Once snapped out of this trance, he noticed that a sticker had been planted firmly in his ear. Tyson began to giggle. Tyson's age had seemingly regressed to his childhood, in hopes to block out the memories of everything that had just happened.
"I must have chronic Day-dream stickering!" Tyson giggled like a child followed with a hiccup and another laugh. In the middle of his entertainment with his new discovery the doorbell had rung. Tyson rushed to the door, only to see the mailman. The second he saw the tall, dark haired man with a matching dark beard in his late fifties, Tyson threw himself at him. His arms wrapped around the man as he shouted in glee:
"MAXIE! I KNEW YOU'D RETURN TO ME!"
"uh… Package for Tyson?" The mailman said in confusion, handing the package to the blue haired teen who had recently snapped and gone crazy.
"Oh…" Tyson's voice returned to normal. "Thanks…" The mail man bid the teen fairwell, as Tyson opened up the box. Inside the box lay a little hand mirror that could fit into a woman's purse with a slip of paper placed neatly folded on top...
"Dear mirror in Tyson's bathroom,
I'm sorry for blowing you up with the toilet. You know I love you, and this entire time I've been back in China, I've been faithful to you.
Enclosed in this package is a baby mirror.
He is your son.
-Mariah"
Tyson read. The teenage boy grabbed the mirror as he gazed deeply into his reflection. He could have sworn that the mirror was high definition! "I SEE YOUUU!" Tyson cried, grinning and losing his happiness once more. He then tossed away the note and smashed the little mirror below his foot. "I can't…. Take this." He growled, soon collapsing back onto the ground in hopes to find his mind that he had lost no more than four days prior. Instead of finding his lost mind, Tyson discovered the box that contained Mariah's 'son'. He emptied out the contents and ran his fingers along the edges. Every crevice, every imperfection was felt by Tyson's partially gloved hand. Without thought, the Japanese placed the empty box on his head, turning his head around rapidly in hopes to actually see something other than the same cardboard wall.
"I think I can make a living room in here! It's SOO ROOMY!" and Tyson continued to laugh for about an hour until the phone rang.
"Hey there mister." A little kid called from the other end. "Is your refrigerator running?
'I sure hope not. That's my God we're talking about!" Tyson hung up quickly and rushed out to the kitchen in hopes to see the refrigerator there still. "It's… still here!" Tyson's laugh turned to a cackle. He didn't know why he was doing it, but he thought it would bring a sort of satisfaction. Hey, it worked for Tala! He laughed and he laughed, until he couldn't force a laugh any longer. His series of fake cackles turned to a mere cry as he began to tear up again.
"You were there for Tala…" Tyson breathed, his sanity returning again. "Why didn't you come for me, Kai?"
"AHH China!" Ray sighed, taking in the air of his home country. The long haired boy stood strong on a section of the great wall. "I can't wait to get sightseeing! OH! Excuse me!" Ray called a young man to get his attention.
"Do you know what this Chinese wall is called? It looks Great! I would love to have one of these walls in my living room!"
"Uhh… Dude… don't you like… live here?"
"I bet it tastes great!" Ray rushed over to one of the edges and once again took a spontaneous bite out of it. Having the Colgate fresh teeth that he did, Ray's teeth were unbreakable, and he gnawed away at the great wall with little to no progress. Noticing he was failing, Ray decided to take Max's approach of making friends. Ray turned towards the great wall once again. "HEY! Do you want to go on a vacation with me to Japan?"
"Um…. Dude….." The man turned to Ray, the one asking a landmark out on a date. "Have you lost your marbles?"
"Marbles? What marbles? I don't own any marbles! You see, I own pebbles, which I like to flick at peoples faces! Like yours! You have a face! I would flick a pebble at it!"
"ahh…?"
"You see… it wasn't always this way…. Once upon a time, I owned marbles. A whole bag full. Beautiful tigers eye and glass marbles. I always won with them. So one day, I was walking and I saw a mad hatter running around telling me he was late. So I followed him for no good reason and ended up in Whoville where I met TinkyWinky from the telletubbies! That was a great experience! That is until I went to the forest. You see, when I was in the forest, I met a little cuddly teddy bear that could walk and talk and…. Bite…. Ouch, let me tell you… and his name was Max. He was such a cutie! I named him Maxie-bear. I gave him a biiiig hug! But guess what! He stole something very important of mine! A… vital organ…" Ray's voice began to trail off.
"Your heart?" The man said, somewhat intrigued.
"No…. my liver." Ray continued on with his story. "And so, it was then that I knew what to do. I had to go save princess Tala from the dark abyss of the tower that lady Bryan was holding her captive in. I was Russian…. I mean Rushing out the forest when I realized that there was a little speck of dust following me. This speck of dust's name was Tyson. He had short term memory loss. So I needed to find the address to the tower, but I didn't know where to find it. Luckily, Tyson was able to read every last letter on the bulletin that read: 'the princess is locked up in this location:'. Too bad I'm not very good with reading! So the address! Tyson actually remembered it! It was P. Sherman, 42 wallaby way Sydney! So he kept singing this song… "BOMINOS! Everybody let's go! Come on let's get to it, I know that we can do it! Where are we going? Sydney! Where are we going? Sydney!" Or something like that… So then we made it to the castle. I went in, and saw the evil witch. So after 10 hours of arguing with her, I was FINALLY able to get back my dry cleaning WITHOUT having to pay the bill. And we all lived happily ever after." Ray completed his story with a: 'The end' as the man smiled slightly
"You know…" He started. "The exact same thing happened to me last Friday!" Ray's face lit up slightly as if he had believed the lie he made up. "So… What happened with your marbles?"
"Marbles? What marbles?"
Kai leaned back, inhaling the dust and mildew emanating from the rotting abandon house he was currently residing in. He sat firmly on the window sill, watching various animals come and go, but no people. It was relaxing… yet… lonely. Even for Kai, the silent area was just too much to bare, especially since he was used to Tyson's whining and loud mouthed attitude.
"Kai! Let's go play Call of Duty! I know you love violence and killing people, so it's a winning combo!"
"Kai! Let's go play super smash brothers for the Gamecube! I'll even let you be the purple controller… No? Why not? FINE I'll even let you be princess peach!"
"Kai! Will you come sleep next to me? I'm scared of Bryan coming and attacking me!"
Memories shot around Kai's brain like he wouldn't believe and he wished it would just shut up. There was no way Kai was going back…. No matter how much he loved his little blue haired "Ty-dye". He had hurt Tyson too much. He knew that Tyson could never be happy with him, around him or even near him. Kai wanted more than anything to live with him… to be in a relationship with him. But something's were just never meant to be.
"I'm sorry Tyson…" Kai muttered, opening a box and removing the diamond ring from within. "I'm so sorry I missed my chance. I'm sorry I hurt you so much… I'm sorry…" Kai then placed the ring down and placed his hands to his face to hid the tears that were begging to come out. "…That you ever had to have met me." If there was one thing that Kai knew, it was that his chance with Tyson had come and gone and would never show up again.
Not ever.
"Mom, do you need any help with the cake?"
"I'm fine Maxie! Just wait a little bit longer and it should be ready!"
Max took a seat next to his little blonde haired Chihuahua named Ceciel (Name her because of Draciel) and decided to get a glass of water. He pulled the glass from the cupboard and poured himself a drink, only to spill all over the floor.
"Oh no! I'll go get the mop!" Judy exclaimed.
"It's okay mom! I got it!" Max lay down on the ground, his head on the puddle of cold water as he rolled around hoping to use his hair as a mop.
"MAXIE! The floor isn't clean! Please get up!" Judy sighed. "Do you want some mayo, or mustard on your hotdog?" Max went up into a rage. How DARE his mom ask him which of his two favorite toppings he wanted. Max began to scream.
"UNNNNNIICORRRNSS!" Max shouted as he sprinted away from Judy. "THERE ARE UNICORNS LIVING IN MOMMY! SAVE ME FROM THE KING! KILL ALL THE QUEENS! GOD SAVE THE UNICORNS! THERE ARE DEMONS ON THE PREMISIS." He chanted. And so, that is how Max was labeled an absolute dumb nut. He bounced off the walls and on all of the furnature. Judy grabbed the nearest balloon, filled it with air and popped it. Balloons: Max's biggest fear. Now curled up shaking in a corner, Judy wrapped her arms around her son, noticing some tears rolling down his face.
"Max… talk to me." Max explained his good time at Tyson's house, and how much he loved living there for that short time. He told his mom for the first time that he had fallen in love with Ray, as she supported it to the fullest. "At least it's Ray. I was afraid you were going to say Eddy for a moment there…" Max laughed, hugging his mom tightly.
"Oh mom."
"I love you Max."
"I love you too Mom…"
"I'll be happy with any decision you make.
"What decision is there to make? Whether I ever see him again or not?"
"No, silly… to go back and live in Japan with Tyson… or…. To stay here with me."
"What?" Max breathed. "But… but Ray's in China… It won't happen… " Judy let out a radiant smile.
"Let's go test the cake to see if it's ready."
"YAY! Hurry! Hurry! I want Cake!"
"Max… This is what I want to show you." Judy pulled out a fork and gently let it penetrate the currently baking batter of the chocolate cake. While pulling it out, a chocolaty residue was left on the fork. "You are rushing something to be perfect too soon. Like this cake. You test it with a fork to see if it's ready, and if it's not, some of the raw batter comes out on to the fork."
"So?"
"You're trying to test your limits with Ray, trying to start a relationship out of a perfect friendship. All of those raw feelings come out because you're testing too soon. You can't expect a perfect batter to become a perfect cake if you rush it. You got to test little bits at a time to see if it's ready, and when it is…" Judy placed the fork against Max's nose allowing some chocolate to get on his porcelain skin. "It will be the most beautiful thing you will ever see."
"So..I've got to test Ray to see if he's ready for a relationship?"
"Yes… but subtly. You don't want to ruin the batter with too many fork holes. Just enough to know for sure, just too little to not be noticed."
"I… think I'll go back to Japan Mom." Judy was struck silent. She let out a gentle and comforting smile as she pecked her son on the forehead.
"It'll be okay…" Judy stroked her son's hair, and embraced him sweetly. "My little Maxie-bear."
Tyson's idea was very simplistic. He lay out every single letter he ever wrote to Kai that had not been burned on the floor of the dojo. Tyson was never the artist type, but hey. He did draw Ozuma a couple hundred times… Tyson began with the farthest most letter and began to draw largely and boldly, covering parts of words and letters he and slapped together to make a beautiful confession. His pencil flowed as if he knew what he was drawing and his mind seemed to shut down, letting his hands do all the thinking…
Emily, Kenny and Michael sat in the living room of Emily's home, watching the tall blonde boy rocking back and forth in the corner sharpening the ends of pencils that held the eraser.
"Michael…" Emily exclaimed, patting her friends back in hopes to comfort him.
"Bryan…..love…damn…..cookies…cheesecake….." Michael mumbled paragraph after paragraph of his own unintelligible dialect supposedly expressing his feelings.
"Michael… Please talk to us…"
"Guy… I have something to tell you…" Michael took a deep breath. "I'm moving."
"WHAT? WHERE! Why didn't you tell me? Are you still going to be able to be a part of the PPB All Starz?" Michael didn't reply. "MICHAEL!"
The blonde teen stood up and made his way over to another corner of the room. "There…. I moved." Emily smacked her forehead, not knowing how she didn't see that coming. "Look Michael… Why don't you… call Bryan? Keep in touch? A long distance relationship isn't impossible."
"I told him that I loved him… He's going to hate me."
"Don't be stupid! Call him."
"I'm too scared to call."
"Don't be."
"It's Bryan."
"Oh…Very true."
In the background, Kenny began to confess his life of fearing Bryan ever since meeting him in the Russian tournament. He began to go on about how he was so scared that Bryan would teleport into his room, grant him three wishes and then give him a death by tickles… the worst kind of death there is. Kenny said that every night, he would check his shoes to make sure a Bryan isn't living in it. Emily and Michael, however were so in tuned to their conversation, they ignored the entire thing. "Just call him! It'll be fine." Emily offered the phone to Michael, as he pushed it away.
"Sure it will. If it would be 'okay' he would have called me."
"Maybe he's shy."
"It's Bryan."
"Oh…Very true." Emily pondered for a moment before typing in a phone number into the key pad and holding the phone to her ear.
"What are you doing Emily?" Michael exclaimed, worried about what she would do.
"Hello?" Emily inquired to the person on the other end. "Oh hey, it's Emily. I'm calling because Michael was too shy to call and wants to talk to you. Yeah? Okay…. One second." The orange haired girl passed the phone to Michael who hesitantly took it.
"Uh… hey…."
"Hey Michael." Bryan stated plainly from the other line.
"Uh… hey…"
"What's up with you?"
"Uh… hey…" Bryan snarled and informed Michael to actually respond in an appropriate manner.
"So… why did you call me?"
"In an appropriate manner."
"….Why are you acting like this?"
"In an appropriate manner."
"MICHAEL!"
"I-I'm sorry." Michael paused as Bryan tried to get the truth out of him. "It's just that… When I hear your voice… I get butterflies."
"What are you, a girl?" Michael paused, as Bryan changed the subject to a generic talk about the weather and how his friend was doing. Soon, Bryan claimed he had to go Michael gathered his courage up and spit out the bravest words he had ever said.
"I love you…"
"Yeah… Okay." And with that, the other line went dead. Bryan had hung up. Michael's mouth twitched slightly on the verge of nervous and heartbroken tears.
"…Bye…"
Tyson lay for hours on end, sketching on the canvas of letters sprawled across the floor. All that was needed was one last letter to complete his massive drawing. It was to be his last letter, and he had to make it the best letter he had ever written. There was no way Tyson could possibly live on. After he had completed his task, he would lay there until nothing was left of him. In Tyson's eyes, the letter he was to write would be the last words he would ever write; a letter that would never be read.
"It's over.
Everything I've worked towards has spiraled to a close, and everything I have wanted in life has vanished, just like the magic act. And that's all this was: My friendship, my family, my romance… It was all a show put on for my brief entertainment. It was like I was standing solo, center stage before my friends all came into my life. It was like a rehearsal, preparing for the real show… the test of our friendship. Eventually, we practised to the point where some of us believed our roles and they had become a part of us. Finally, the grand show was put on. Just like any other performance we didn't know what could go wrong. Every flaw and hole that appeared in our act had to be used to our advantage. My mind had been so deeply plunged into my fantasy, that I couldn't believe that something so perfect could end. And so, we received our applause on queue… the cast exits stage left. I once again stand alone center stage. Even still, I only got my prince in my fantasy… and this fleeting reality proved to be just one act for my entertainment alone. I therefore stand erectly by myself, center stage awaiting the curtains to announce the end of this tale. My story is without closure, and so be it. I am without my prince… my Kai… And so the finale had occurred with no chance of an encore. The final act of my life has been played out: Exeunt all, enter loneliness. It's funny how life can inevitably lead us to our death. Sayonara Daisuki na hito. Goodbye my beloved. We shall meet again….
…Kai."
Tyson completed his drawing with the final letter. Every single face was surprisingly well done for being from Tyson's hand. Each familiar feature eventually created each member of his newly found family. It was at this time that Tyson arose from the floor of the dojo to admire his masterpiece. Within a split second, Tyson's letters were swept up in a gigantic gust of wind, sending half of his letters into orbit. Tyson grabbed at the air, grabbing the last letter he ever would write to his friends.
"No!" Tyson cried, collapsing to his knees in tears. It was then that Tyson chose to lay on the ground, waiting to die away.
"Yeah… Okay." A firm click echoed through the kitchen area of the Blitzkrieg boy's sizable house.
"That was harsh." Tala exclaimed after the phone had hung up.
"hn."
"If you really love him, you should tell him how you feel… or you'll end up like Spencer." Both men shifted their gaze to the giant blonde teenager who was curled up in the corner petting an onion that he had coloured pink with a crayon.
"Pretty pink onion~!" He cooed. Bryan shook his head.
"Tala… Michael only is saying that to humor me. He doesn't love me… he can't love me!"
"Just because your parent's didn't love you, doesn't mean no one ever will!" Tala screamed, slamming his newspaper onto the table. He took a breath before continuing. "Stop seeing yourself as one who can't be loved, and begin to think of yourself who was never able to love."
"Tala…"
"Just stop making up stories… This is your one chance to finally be happy." Bryan firmly strutted up to Tala and stared him in the eyes with a frown on his face. The shorter red-haired boy stared back as Bryan collapsed into his arms in apologetic tears. Tala began to smirk which eventually turned into one of his signature cackles. "Let's go back to the dojo soon. I forgot to kiss my boyfriend goodbye."
"What?" Bryan asked completely and utterly confused.
His footsteps tapped against the sidewalk as he made his way home to his boyfriend. He was content… his life was finally in order. He had a part time job and a steady education. He was a genius; misunderstood by all but his lover who awaited his arrival back at the home they both shared. Both men were seventeen years of age, longtime friends of the world renowned "Tyson Granger". After a year of being apart from Tyson, they met once again as the world champion surprised him at the airport. As a formerly qualified world champion himself, he and his boyfriend were ready to take on the world and defeat Granger at his own game, after abandoning their old titles of their teams and starting their own team together.
Sighing, he glanced up at a sheet of paper flapping in the breeze.
"However, when I got my wish you became the one person in my life that I trusted more than myself…" He read in disgust. "Who writes this crap?" The Japanese teenager folded up the new found letter and shoved it into his pocket. He ruffled his blue hair sighing, as he pulled out his house keys from his pocket and unlocking the door slowly. An apathetic voice chimed from within, greeting him.
"Hey Yamashita." The red and black haired boy arose from his arm chair and pecked his boyfriend on the cheek.
"Hey Ozuma." Kane greeted. The two boys made their way over to the couch and sat down next to each other, hand in hand.
"How was work?"
"Great! Daichi got fired. It's about time! He used to stick his head under the coffee maker and guzzle up the newly brewed coffee that I had JUST made. Talk about a pig."
"That's great." Ozuma sighed. "I really missed you. At least our time away was worth while."
"Oh?"
"I made a popsicle stick sculpture of a popsicle stick."
"That's… creative…" The two boys conversed about their day, until Kane pulled out his lighter from his pocket. Smiling at the cheap item, he flicked it, allowing a flame to appear. "FIRE!" He hissed gazing at the flame as if it were God. Ozuma, seeing his partner playing with fire he snatched the lighter out of his hands, and hid it in his own pocket.
"No."
"OZUU~!" Kane whined attempting to grab the source of fire back from his lover. Kane Climbed on top of Ozuma trying to wrestle him to the ground to get back his lighter, and Ozuma calmly pinned Kane as if he were a seven year old child.
"I win."
"But… but…. But… OZU-SAN!" Kane began screaming with tears streaming down his face. "OZU-SAN IS SO MEAN! Gimmie it back!"
"Give it back to me. Use proper grammar when you're trying to insult me." Kane sat their sobbing his eyes out, partially at being humiliated as Ozuma stood and watched. But there was something wrong… something that nagged Ozuma so badly.
"AH-HA!" Ozuma said, pulling out one of his CDs from the cabinet and popped it in the player.
'NEEEAAR,FAAR… WHERE EVER YOU ARE~' The voice sang. Ozuma watched in pleasure as Kane cried to the equally dramatic song. However, the black haired teen was so focused on his lover crying like a child, he had completely forgotten about the turkey in the oven. The fire alarm sounded as Ozuma panicked.
"I… MUSIC. DRAMATIC MUSIC. NOW!" Ozuma switched on the Chariots of fire while he 'rushed' into the kitchen in slo-mo according to the tempo and feel of the music that filled the house.
"OZU~!" Kane cried after him. "Don't forget to check on the turkey!"
Kai had received news that Max was returning, and as a result extended an invitation to Ray in secret. The duel haired teen sat on the old wooden rails of the abandon house, awaiting the arrival of his friends.
"Kai!" The long haired Chinese boy cried. "Long time no see!"
"It's only been a couple weeks." Kai sneered, hoping not to drop any hints about how he felt about the eternity he had been away from Tyson. "Max is coming too."
"REALLY?" Ray literally leaped up in happiness. "Kai! I could just…. Just… KISS you right now! But I won't, because I know how you feel about that."
"Thanks…" Kai let out in sarcasm.
Kai and ray glanced out across the older road seeing a little blonde trot happily down the road, soon bumping into a man.
"HELLO!" Max stated. "Would you like to come with me on my vacation to see my friends?"
"Max!" Kai cried.
"KAI-CHAN!" Maxie cried. "AND RAY MY DARLING BOYFRIEND TO BE."
"What?" Ray snickered, actually missing what Max said.
"I missed you Rei-Rei!" Max threw his arms around the slightly taller boy. "I missed you a lot."
"As did I…"
"You missed yourself? I could imagine, I mean you being in China and all… It must be hard saying goodbye to yourself… How do you do that? Say goodbye Ray, and then hug yourself?"
"Max! I meant I missed you."
Kai sneered at the two love birds missing Tyson more and more with each second. "Stop. You two are making me sick."
"Oh… sorry Kai." Kai calmed the two of them down as he explained a grand plan that involved both of his best friends. The two listened attentively, adding on their ideas and thoughts. Once the plan was set, the three of them began to talk about what had happened between Kai and Tyson.
"I really thought you were going to do it." Ray sighed. "He would have accepted too. He was head over heels in love with you."
"You're lying." Max zoned out of the conversation going back to what his mommy told him.
You have to test Ray to see if he's ready for a relationship. He remembered every word his mother said as Max dug his hand into his pocket thinking of the most subtle way to carry his testing out.
"Kai… Listen. If you don't tell him now, someone is going to come and sweep him off his feet. You love him. Go and show i- OUCH!" Ray cried, Glancing down at the fork being stabbed into his arm.
"MAX! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" The blonde boy investigated Ray's arm carefully as he attempted to stab the fork into the teenage boys arm.
"I'm testing you." Max stated. And continued to poke the fork into Ray's arm.
"What?" Ray yelled pulling his arm away.
"YOU PASSED! No cake batter is coming out!" Max grinned pressing his lips against Ray's as Kai stood there, equally as stunned as Ray.
Mariah and Lee were fed up. They only had one remaining bathroom since Kevin was in it and they were bored half to death. Mariah couldn't give Lee's stickering the time of day and Mariah couldn't flirt with Lee, so she only had the household objects to love her.
"I hate this!" The pink haired girl cried. "It's been two weeks, and the dresser hasn't even TRIED to kiss me!"
"It's no better for me!" Lee growled, arguing back. "I can't stick stickers to ANYONE! I wake up with a face, and sometimes even a MOUTH full of stickers!"
The siblings argued until their phone began to ring.
"Hello?" Mariah stated.
"Who is it?" Lee whispered. The young Chinese girl's lips parted as she listened to the mysterious caller on the other end. "Mariah, what's wrong?"
"Michael, stop moping. I know you miss Bryan… but…" Kenny looked at his girlfriend trying to comfort the blonde in hopes to lift his spirits. None of the three were exactly having the time of their lives. The two weeks that had passed since they had come home were a living nightmare for all three. Kenny missed his team, he missed his home and most of all… he missed his mommy.
Emily on the other hand noticed Kenny's depression and her emotions ran high for his sake. Michael's reason was obvious. He wanted to see his Bryan again.
"Hey! I got an email!" Kenny said. "It's from-..."
The three Russians had done nothing but sit in the refrigerator and practiced the cold shoulder for the entire two weeks. Every now and again, they would stand in the below zero temperatures sweating so they needed to wear icepacks in order to stay cool.
"BRYAN GET THE DOOR!" Tala cried, pushing Bryan outside of the fridge.
"Hn." Bryan responded.
"He has learned well." Tala gave the thumbs up the little onion boy still sitting in the corner.
Bryan opened the door to a young woman with bright red lips and a mailman's outfit.
"I… Am… a singing telegram! You have got to go-..."
Tyson lay on the dojo , waiting for his death to arrive. His body was numb. He had just lay there… for about two hours. His plan was to lay there, waiting for his death to come from starvation, heart failure or by a very angry clown.
His stomach was weak… his fingers unable to move. He hadn't eaten in THREE WHOLE HOURS! Tyson lay there, apathetic and weary from his lack of food.
"I'm HUNGRY!" Tyson complained, his voice being muffled into the floor. Using his last bits of energy, he moved to the fridge and gulped down as much food as he could. "That's better!" Tyson then lay down again waiting to die of starvation.
For what felt like hours turned out to be just a few minutes. He lay there on the kitchen floor. "I'm HUNGRY!" Tyson complained, his voice being muffled into the floor. Tyson arose again and snatched something else to eat. It was at this time, that Tyson's face felt a little strange. One spot felt tighter… as if something was stuck to it. He lifted his hand to feel a laminated object.
"Sticker?" He smirked. "STICKER!"
Tyson knew what this meant. He scampered as fast as he could to the bathroom trying to burst into the door, but a hand from the other side stopped him.
"HEY! I'm trying to go here!" A voice yelled from the other side.
"KEVIN?"
"Hey Tyson, I thought we would drop in for… you know… like… forever?"
"What? WE?"
"Yeah, Lee's right behind you." Ninjas… all of them. Tyson thought. "LEE!" Tyson turned around throwing himself at the teen behind him and face planting to the wall.
"Hey Tyson…" Lee exclaimed. "Do you mind… if we stayed here a bit longer? Mariah, Kevin and I."
"YES! PLEASE! SAY! OH! MY! GOODNESS!"
"Calm down buddy!" And with that, Lee pulled Tyson in for a hug as Tyson's tears of joy ran down his face.
"HEY TYSON!" A familiar voice called from the dojo.
"MICHAEL!" Tyson rushed into the room to see his baseball playing buddy and the nerd couple standing side by side. "GUYS!" He rushed over, soon tripping over Kenny somehow.
"I told you Emily." Michael laughed slightly. The tall blonde boy faced Tyson, giving him a smile. "HEY EVERYONE! WE'RE HOME!"
Tyson was awed by his friend's dedication to him, and he was in such ecstasy due to the situation that he couldn't help but collapse to his knees and cry. Michael placed his arms around the boy as the two of them shared a warm and friendly hug.
Sure enough, the blitzkrieg boys arrived shortly after… but there was no sign of Ray, Max or Kai. All of the friends shared laughs and tears and Tyson was happy… but empty. He needed Kai.
"Bryan…" Michael approached filled with false confidence. "I… I'm sorry about the phone call…."
"Why are you sorry?" The silver haired boy gazed at the American in confusion.
"You… seemed to dislike what I said."
"What… that you loved me?" Bryan stated bluntly. "I didn't dislike it. I just don't believe it."
"Well you better believe it. I love you Bryan, with all my head… Because I'm a man… And I don't love with my heart."
"Why did you tell Emily you hated me?"
"NO! I didn't! I… I just hate how much I liked you. I… It's frustrating."
"Well…" Bryan pulled Michael's face to his so that their noses were touching. "I suppose we have to kiss now." And so, Bryan pressed his lips to Michael's, as the blonde haired boy stood shocked. Once they pulled away, Michael's shocked expression soon darkened.
"PARSLEY!" Michael screamed, kissing Bryan full force to the point that both of them plummeted to the ground.
"I'm sorry…" Mariah stated to the reflection in the wash room. "I… I know I shouldn't… but I love someone else. Please forgive me… but we can't see each other anymore." Mariah looked deeply into the reflection. "OH! I can't resist!" She said, pressing her lips to the glass.
"HOT LESBIAN ACTION!" Spencer cried, flailing his arms while watching Mariah kissing herself.
"SPENCER!"
"RIAH!" Spencer darted up to his girlfriend and gave her an almighty peck on the cheek and bear hug. "I love you, Riah!"
"I love you too…" Mariah whispered, wrapping her arms around his neck. "My little Spencie."
"I missed you my microwave baby!" Tala kissed his ruby microwave on the top. "I've come to live here just for you." Tala embraced the cooking utensil before pulling a box out of his pocket. "I brought you some flowers!" Tala popped a bouquet of daisies into the microwave's mouth and turned it on. The purring of the microwave, got Tala's attention. "I'm glad you love it sweetheart… Now… to get down to business." Tala hopped off the counter to kneel down on one knee. "Will you marry me?"
Tyson laughed, enjoying the company of his friends… but something was missing… Kai was missing. Tyson needed to see him and his other two friends. He sat cross legged talking with a couple of his friends.
"So Tyson… Have you seen Kai?"
"No Lee… He's been… gone for quite some time."
"So you haven't told him how you felt?"
"No…"
"Heard from Ray and Max?"
"No…"
"I haven't seen Ray In a while either."
"No?"
"No…"
Tyson was blinded by a hand that had been placed over his eyes.
"HEY! WHAT GIVES?"
"Guess who!" A familiar voice whispered.
"RAY!" Lee cried in cheer. Ray looked up at Lee in annoyance while he noticed that Lee's eyes were closed.
"Lee, that defeats the whole purpose of 'guess who'…"
"Welcome back!" He yelled, attempting to stick a sticker to Ray's face but ending up tripping over Tyson.
Tyson looked up at his two friends that had arrived together. "Ray… Max…" He smiled and gently sat up, hugging Ray and Max. "I MISSED YOU!"
Max smiled "I'm back from my permanent Vacation Tyson!" Max threw himself at his blue haired friend. "I missed you!"
Ray glanced around at the two boys smiling. "Ray, what happened to your arm?" Tyson inquired, noticing Ray's wrapped arm.
"I was testing him… Then some red velvet cake batter came out." Max said disappointed.
"For the record, I have no idea what he's talking about." Ray sighed. The long haired teen glanced around the room before noticing that one person was missing. "Where's Kai?"
"He's not coming." Tyson grumbled. "He never wants to see me again!"
"IMPOSSIBLE!" Mariah stated at the now quieted room.
"Yeah… why wouldn't Kai come?" Tala shrugged, holding the microwave in his hands.
"Yeah, he's the one who-" Max was cut off by the loud crash of thunder. "AHHHHH!"
"Calm down Maxie." Ray stroked his hair to make sure Maxie was okay.
Tyson looked around the room in dismay. The room had grown silent. It was the most crowded loneliness that the boy had ever felt.
"It'll be okay Tyson." Ray offered, but Tyson stood up and walked away exiting the dojo in worry. The entire room exchanged glances seeing as their friend was so upset.
"You look stressed!" Max told Ray, noticing that he was worried about Tyson. "Why don't we go on a vacation together?"
"Sure, Maxie. Where too?"
"Heaven!"
"What?" Max grabbed Ray and pulled him out into the hall where the two of them marched into a closet as Max shut the door. "This is a closet, Maxie." Ray snickered.
"Well, I heard of this game, and it's called seven minutes in heaven. You stay in here for seven minutes... so this must be heaven."
"Oh Max..."
"So, What do you want to do first on this vacation?" Max smiled as Ray looked around the closet.
"You know Max, maybe one day, you and I could go on a vacation together... you know... like just the two of us."
"RAY! You mean like a..." Max gasped in partial shock and excitement. "...honeymoon?"
"No! Er... I mean like..."
"Don't only married people go on honeymoons?"
"Umm... you see, well.. yeah... but..." Max gasped, completely ignoring Ray's discomfort in the situation.
"Ray..." Max pondered. "Are we married?" He asked somehow finding logic in his train wrecked thoughts.
"N-no Max... we're not married."
"ARE YOU SAYING YOU DON'T LIKE ME? I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS!" Max sobbed.
"No! We're friends! Best friends!"
"ARE YOU SAYING I'M NOT A GOOD PAINTER?"
"Wait... what?"
"You said we're not married..." Max's logic had officially gone out the window. Ray tried his best and eventually got the blonde to be quiet enough to speak.
"Max... I mean we're not married right now... But..." Ray paused in hopes that Max would respond well. "Maybe we could be... in the near future..." Max snickered, allowing his voice to drop back to it's normal tone.
"Are you saying you want me to be your boyfriend?" He asked in a serious tone."
"Yes... I suppose I am..."
"I don't think you know how long I've waited to hear that..." Max smiled as he pressed his forehead against Ray's. Ray placed his finger under Max's chin and lifted his face up for a tender and sweet kiss.
Tyson took in the cold winter air as the last crashes of thunder roared in the background. The brisk air burned his face and dried his mouth as he began to wonder what carried him outside. Tyson still felt hopeful that Kai would still arrive despite his vow to abandonment not too long ago. Tyson was happy enough as it was, but there was still something missing. Thoughts of remorse swirled through his head like storm clouds looming on a perfectly sunny day. He had his chance… and Tyson had let it slip. He closed his eyes once more, listening to the crashes of thunder in the distanced and feeling the cold air brush against his skin.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Tyson." A voice chimed out from in front of him. Tyson reopened his eyes to a familiar figure.
"I knew you would come…" He smiled, wrapping his arms around the man in front of him. "…Kai"
"Tyson, I…" Kai looked away, while placing his hands on the shorter boy. "I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry too, Kai. I shouldn't have gotten so angry at you."
"I suppose it all doesn't matter. I'm home now."
The two of them entered the dojo together as the eleven other guests cheered at Kai's arrival.
"The prince has arrived." Mariah stated sarcastically.
"So Kai…" Tala inquired mischievously. "Don't you have something to tell Tyson?" The entire room went silent as Tyson glanced up in confusion at Kai. Kai turned away from the one he loved hoping to hide the blush that had appeared on his face. Why did Tyson have to be so cute?
"Kai, What is he talking about?" Tyson whined.
"Tyson," The red hear started. "Why don't you come here for a moment?"
"W-What is it Tala?" Tyson stated shakily. Without a word, Tala inched closer to Tyson, almost as if to tell him a secret. He whispered, just enough for Kai to hear:
"I've loved you since the moment I met you, and if Kai won't take you…" Tala smirked slightly. "Perhaps I best take you for myself."
Tyson's eyes widened as Tala violently pressed his lips against his. Tyson was shocked, embarrassed, baffled.
"T-Tala!" Tyson tried to push out.
"YOU BASTARD!" Kai shouted, storming over and grabbing Tala by the shirt collar. "Don't you DARE touch him!"
"What's wrong Kai? I'm just expressing how I feel about somebody." Tala eyed Kai. "Why can't I kiss him?"
"Because…." Kai growled. "BECAUSE HE'S MY BOYFRIEND." Kai was on the verge of tears knowing his own friend would betray him like that. "I'm out of here." Kai pushed Tala away in fury as Tala once again whispered in Tyson ear.
"My plan worked. I suppose you'll want this back now." Tala handed back the picture of Kai and Tyson that he had taken from the room. "Now don't miss your chance."
Tyson nodded gratefully as he sprinted up from behind Kai and hugged him.
"Don't go, Kai! Please! I just got you back… don't leave me." Tyson cried.
"Let go Tyson."
"I… I want you to stay… With me, please!"
"Tyson…"
"I'm sorry I avoided telling you, I'm sorry for being scared!" Tyson began running in front of Kai, embracing him from the front. "But I love you Kai…"
"Tyson!" Kai stood stiff and shocked at Tyson's love confession.
"Don't leave please. I don't care if you don't even want to be my friend, but I can't imagine my life without you. Please…"
"Tyson… I…" Kai pushed Tyson off of him. "You're just saying that."
"NO! I love everything about you! Your personality, the way you walk, the way you smile the way you walk away while I'm tal- HEY!" Kai began to walk away once more.
"Do you mind if I live in your room, Tyson?" Kai inquired. Tyson's mouth parted as it soon turned to a grin.
"Kai!" Both Tyson and Kai entered Tyson's room as Kai pulled Tyson into a tight embrace. Tyson could feel Kai's breath down his neck as he whispered in his ear:
"I love you too, Tyson." The two of them gazed at one and other for the last time before sharing one final kiss, sealing the promise and marking the beginning of Tyson and Kai's relationship. The two lay in each others arms, exchanging laughs and smiles with one and other.
"Hey Kai?"
"Hm?"
"Did you hear the new Justin Bieber song?"
"Dear Diary,
It seems that nothing is forever, and forever is for nothing. The stage has been set once again, but this time, for a new play, a new story and a new time. The actors return to play their parts as I now stand center stage hand in hand with my prince. Fairytales don't end, they build. And trust me, my story is far from the 'the end'. What I have learned from this, is when act one is over, just turn the page. Everyone has closure, and I certainly got mine.
For all those tribulations I had endured, for each leap I had to make over the edge, my friends had been there all along.
Well, I got to go. Kai promised to take me out for dinner tonight! Well… maybe he didn't, but I knew what he meant by: "I like your shirt…" Right?
-Tyson Granger, February 6th"
Tyson and Kai had finally accepted their romance as something pure and true, while Kai still hesitates to pop the question. While Kevin decided to live in the bathroom after his stomach flu had subsided, and Tala and his microwave had finally announced their engagement.
Mariah had to break up with her reflection after Spencer and her made their relationship facebook official. Everyone else in the Granger house had decided to stay forever, much to Tyson's enjoyment. He and Kai lived together with his other two best friends in the crowded house
And where was Grandpa Granger while this all occurred? Let's just say that Tala's curse for Grandpa planting fake plants was true.
Grandpa never ended up coming out of the freezer.
Their adventures will continue, as will their love for one and other as a true family and best friends.
Who knew that all it takes to change lives…
… Was one snowy night?
Well, I hope you guys enjoyed the last chapter! Remember, every week, we will be writing both side fics and a spin off series.
NOTE: This chapter was published for about an hour and a half and then I began to freak out about not giving Max and Ray closure. I ended up re-writing the Kai and Tyson ending and adding in a Ray and Max :) I'm sorry for those who read it at first... I was pretty disappointing...
Just a quick note, don't laugh at Max being scared of balloons, they're my fourth biggest fear. .And I'm not kidding either.
The spin off series will include all of the characters we missed. The main characters are Ozuma and Kane (Hence why we put in that big wtf moment of the two of them) And will feature Tyson, Ray, Kai and Max as they appear in this story.
The other characters you will be seeing will be:
Enrique, Oliver, Daichi, Hilary, Salima, Miguel, Mystel, Brooklyn, Garland, Hiro, Raul, Mathilda, Ming Ming… and the list carries on.
So, as for side fics, All side fics will be added to this story. Yes, there is an order and yes, they are still crack fics.
How does Tyson and Kai's relationship go? Find out soon :) What about Ray and Max?
Thank you everyone for your dedication, and please keep reading the side fics and leave a review if you liked it!
BTW THERE MAY BE A SEQUEL. I've been thinking about one… but the side fics basically cut it as one. They're just a bit shorter… and kind of diverge from the main story and go on about their lives living together.
OUR SIDE FICS WILL BASICALLY BE A SEQUEL. THIS CHAPTER IS THE END OF THE MAIN STORY OF THEM GETTING TO LIVE TOGETHER AND NOW THE SIDE FICS ARE LIKE THEIR STRUGGLES.
We may be writing one tomorrow :)
Bye for now!
*Stabs with a fork* I don't know if you guys are ready for our side fics yet.
