Me: Hello there neighbor. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. A --

Eveeryone else: SHUT UP!!

Me: Come on. Don't hate on the dead guy. Mr. Rogers was awesome.

Bryan: (Starts loading bullets into his gun)

Me: Okay! I get it! Sigh. I do not own Beyblade or Mr. Rogers but if I did I would not be writing this.

Sigh. Good morning there people. Yesterday was not a good day at all and I am currently trying to ignore the world and be emo for the day.

"TALA! WE HAVE PRACTICE! GET OUT OF YOUR ROOM THIS INSTANT!" yelled the thing a.k.a Mariah

Unfortunately the world is not ignoring me.

"Mariah. Leave him alone. He's had a tough week." said Brooklyn.

Brooklyn, you are a saint for trying.

"NO! HE HAS TO COME OUT FOR PRACTICE!"she yelled back.

I growled you know what I am really getting tired of her. I stuffed my head underneath my pillow and tried my best to block out the sound that is called Mariah's voice.

"Mariah..." said Brooklyn.

"NO! I --OW!"

"Leave him alone Mariah." said Yang.

"But I thought that you were on my side."

"You're funny." said Yang in a monotone voice, "But what isn't funny is how you are bothering Tala when he is sick."

Bless your heart Yang. The thing mumbles something before I hear her elephant steps travel down the hall. Silence echoes all around before it is interuptted by a solitary knock.

"Who?" I managed to grumble.

Gods, my voice sounds horrible. Well, it should I was crying all night.

"Brooklyn and Yang." came the reply.

Slowly I got up and opened the door and walked away. Leaving them to close the door behind themselves.

"So...What's wrong?" asked Brooklyn sitting down on a chair backwards.

What are you? A psychairtrist or something? Do you want me to spill my guts like they do on Dr. Phil's and just start crying again?!

"...You're not going to tell me are you?"

"No." I reply.

"Even though it's obvious that something is wrong."

"Nothing is wrong."

"Sure and the sound we heard last night was not you crying" said Yang.

"Nope." I childishly deny.

Yang sighs before looking at Brooklyn.

"I think you need to go to practice. It's bad enough that Tala is missing it." she says.

Brooklyn nodded and quietly left the room but not before giving one last sympathetic look at me.

"So..." she says sitting down on the bed.

"Yang, no. I was not crying and if I was I don't want to talk about it. Not now at least"

Yang glared at me.

"I wasn't going to mention anything about you crying."

Oh.

"I was going to ask you how would you like being a godfather but since you already answered." she said as she started to get up.

Wait a minute!

"Godfather?!" I yelled.

Please don't tell me that Mariah is pregnant and she thought it would be hilarious to see me cringe at her child when it's born.

"Yes godfather." she said slowly sitting back down.

"But who?" I said.

"Me." she said, "I'm the one who's pregnant."

I sat there in shock for a moment. Yang...pregnant? Yes I know that females can get pregnant but I never thought that Yang would. Why? I don't know it's just one of those things that never really crossed your mind and if it did you just went nahhhh...Ironically it's those things that happen the most. But still there's on question left.

"Who's the father?" I said.

Yang actually flushed red and avoided my eyes while looking at random objects in a very un-yang like fashion.

"Um..."

"You don't know?!" I screeched

"No! I do!" she said.

Oh god. Don't tell me she's going to be on Maury.

"Honestly! Tala do you take me from some tired whore on the Maury show!" she yelled at me.

"Well then who is it!"

"Bryan!" she yelled then gasped and covered her mouth.

Oh. God.

Good evening people. It is twelve o' clock. Do you know where your children are? Well currently there's one residing in the next room over in Yang's stomach but let's not dwell on that. Let's not dwell on the fact that the child in Yang's stomach is Bryan and that I have not even moved from the spot that Yang has left me in about two hours ago. In fact my mind has been blank until about now. Why did my mind just decide to randomly come back to life now I don't know. All I know is that I need to get out of here for a minute. Don't worry, I am not leaving the premises and I'm avoiding looking out of all the windows.

Walking the halls I encounter many of the workers who nod in greeting and some even smile. Nice people here but none of them can help me out at the very moment. Sighing I run and hand through my hair messing it up slightly.

"What's bothering you?" said someone from behind me.

I do the first thing that comes to mind. Stop, drop and roll. Okay so maybe that wasn't the brightest thing that I've done recently. Laughter ensues from around me and I see that the person who has startled me was none other than Rei.

"Are you okay?" he said around his laughter.

"Well, no but I'll be fine." I said.

Why bother hiding it. I can't really lie.

"Why are you awake?" I asked

"I sleep in between Tyson and Spencer." he said.

Damn. I feel sorry for him.

"You?" he said.

"Huh?"

"Why are you awake?"

"Oh. Couldn't sleep." I said.

It's true. It was five in the afternoon when Yang told me she was pregnant and I still can't digest it. I wonder who Bryan handled the news.

"Handled what news?"

"It's a long story." I said.

And all I want to do is find a piano and relax. What, you didn't know that I could play piano? Well, I can and no I can play more than Mary had a Little Lamb. Have a little faith in me people. Remember I am The great and Almighty Tala Jeremei Ivanov. King of Ice, former captain of the most feared beyblade team, and a person who should have bought cue cards a long time ago.

"Can you keep it down out here! Some people are trying to get their beauty sleep!" said Julia as she practically barged out of her room.

I rolled my eyes.

"Fine but only because you desperately need it." I said.

Rei snickered behind me.

"Rei!" she said before turning to glare at me, " Look. Frankly, I don't like you so why don't you do us a favor and like commit suicide or something."

"Ladies first." I said bowing at her.

"Excuse me but I'm not the one who's been moping."

"Really? So there's no excuse for the way you look? Wow. I didn't think anything outside of Mariah could be born this ugly." I said feigning shock.

"What was that Ivanov?!" said Mariah coming down the hall.

Speak of the devil.

"Nothing much. Especially when it comes to you."

"Tala!" said Rei.

I looked at him to see him holding back laughter.

"What? I'm just being honest." I said

"There is a limit and you have exceeded it." said Brooklyn.

Hey look. It's the whole team here. Wow. I think that this is the first time we all have been together since the plane ride...which means that I have missed way to many practices.

"Yes you have and you are not getting out of the next one no more how 'sick' you are." said Mariah.

Wasn't planning on it anyways. There's only so much staying in one's room a person can get.

"Well, since we're all awake now. What are we going to do?" said Julia.

"I don't know. It wasn't exactly in my plans to go and wake up the whole team." I said.

"I heard that there's a nice garden here. I was going to check it out before I bumped into Tala. How about we all go?" said Rei.

"...Whatever." said Julia.

"Okay." said Mairah.

"I love looking at nature." said Brooklyn.

I nodded and we all just made our way down the hall. Avoiding what probably would've been us disturbing the whole hotel.

Walking down the hall soaking wet, courtesy of Brooklyn accidentally, I cringed at how each of my footsteps sounded as if I was consistently walking through mud. Gods, how I hate that sound. But all in all it was worth it. I actually had fun with my team. Let me explain.

When we got to the garden we discovered that it had a lake. Now me being me I had to be the one standing closest to the lake trying to find a stupid fish. Brooklyn enjoying nature in his weird way was walking by and had pushed me into the lake. I instinctively grabbed on to him, which probably made him think that I liked him even further, and pulled him down with me. Everyone else laughed at us. Brooklyn all not one for being laughed at and me, who was tired of being laughed at, chased them all down and threw them one by one into the lake. Which ended in us having a big water fight. Some one from a window had obviously seen us and called security on us. We all ran and are now hiding from security. But it was worth it. Seeing Rei wet just makes a guy wanna jump his bones.

"Hey! There's footprints over here!"

Shit! I ran down the hall at top speed. I could hear their footsteps behind me and I knew that they knew this hotel better than me and probably new some sort of secret passage way like in Hogwarts.

"Psst. Over here!" said a voice.

Now normally I wouldn't listen to strange voices but in this case it's important. I spot a door cracked and someone's hand, which just happens to be as wet as mine, motioning for me to hurry. I dive in and they close the door quickly.

"Won't they--"

"Take off your shoes and follow me." says Julia.

I listen to her and whe goes and knocks on what I think is a closet door. She opens it and inside is another room?

"The rooms are attached we can go through this room and then sneak across the hall to Brooklyn's room. It's where everyone else is." she said

See? Told you this place had secret passageways...well doors in this case.

"Wait! Why are you doing this?" I said, " I thought you didn't like me."

"I don't" she said sticking her head outside the dorr and looking if the coast is clear.

She signaled for me to go. I dived and rolled as well as a NAVY Seal and opened Brooklyn's door. I cleared the way for Julia.

"We made it!" she said smiling.

Damn. We really should have been in the militia. I mean look at all the stunts that we have to pull off just to avoid people. I really miss the days where people avoided me because I was the scary leader of the Blitzkrieg Boys. I remember complaining how bored I was, now I wish it was so. I mean look at all the problems I've managed to get into because of people. Hm. This thought has gone on way to long. Usually I would've blurted it out accidentally or someone would've interrupted me by now.

"Hey, guys--"

Or rather lack of guys. Where is everyone?

"It's just me and you Tala." said Julia.

"But you said--"

"I lied." she said advancing on me slowly.

Oh. My. God. I. Am. Going. To. Die. A. Virgin. Save. Me.

"Why?"

"I wanted to be alone with you."

What?!

"Don't you hate me?!"

ALERT! ALERT! DANGER AHEAD! PROCEED WITH CAUTION!

"No. I said I didn't like you." she said coming closer.

I moved further and further back until I hit the wall.

"Which is the truth." she said before she proceeded to straddle my waist.

OH. MY. GOD. HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!

"I don't like you." she said before kissing me.

AIEEEEEEEEE!

"GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME!" I yelled throwing her off.

"What the hell is your problem?!" she yelled obviously mad that I just threw her.

"I don't like you like that and I never will!"

"Stop lying. I know it was my room you were heading to tonight." she said

"Honestly, no it wasn't." I said.

"Sure. And Mariah is the tooth fairy."

"I guess she is."

Which is a pretty disturbing thought to add to this situation. Mariah being the tooth fairy? COme on don't tell me you didn't shudder from that as well. I know I did.

"What's the matter, babe. Are you cold?" Julia said resuming her attempt at raping me.

Time for extreme measures.

"No. I'm not."

"Then What's the matter?" she said.

"Nothing. It's just really uncomfortable for me to be here with you."

"Relax. I can help."

"No you can't."

"And why is that?" she said smiling

"I'm gay."

And Hiroshima couldn't have been more effective than that.

"You- you're gay?"

"Yes. Is there a problem?"

"No. It was just that I was coming on to another gay man?" she said

Hey! I just happen to be pretty hot! Wait a minute did she say another gay man?

"What's wrong with me?!" she said horrified.

"Wait a minute. Did you find out that Rei was gay too?"

She nodded in response.

"Damn. Well here's a heads up. Don't try Brooklyn either." I said standing

"Obviously." she said, "The whole team is full of gay men."

Pretty much. Which leaves just you and Mariah , well in reality just you, as the only straight people here.

"Yeah about that."

"What Mariah's a lez?! Has she been mistaking Rei for a woman all of these years?!" I yelled in shock.

"No! I'm bi." she said laughing

"Oh." I said, "Maybe you and whatever she is can hook up or something."

She laughed even harder.

"Tala." she said around giggles, "I don't even know if she's human either!"

Damn. Nobody believes that she's a human.

"Well then. Even though I'm gay I still hate to see a lady in distress so," and I can't believe that I'm saying this, "Friends?"

I held out my hand to her in a very Tyson-like fashion...and I'm hating myself for every moment of it. Come on! Take my hand so I can stop standing like the ass that I am.

"Sure." she said smiling and taking my hand to stand.

We both left the room and went to our respective rooms. All I can say is today was one hell of a crazy day.

A/N: Yay! Tala's made a new friend! And Yang's pregnant...With Bryan's child! Who knew that evil ol' Bry-Bry was capable of loving someone and have a child with them! Awwww. (cuddles Bryan) Tres adorable! (Bryan shoves me off and walks away) Ouch. That wasn't nice! (Bryan flips me off) Great. You see how they treat me! (Pouts) Anyways! (Gets up and just herself off.) Domo Arigato for reading and Ja Ne. Until we meet again (Pulls out a stick and waves it around) Disappearo! (Nothing happens) Damn it! I need to find a better wand (Walks off)
