Me: Okay peoples. I know it's been a long while.

Tala: And here I thought that you gave up.

Me: No! Never. Life just got in the way. I do have a job, a wedding to plan, siblings to watch, helping out my lovely fanfiction friends with anything their stories, and avoiding Nibi from giving my secret location away to the fan girls who probably are screaming for blood.

Tala: OKAY! I get it!

Me: Anyways! Please don't kill me. I know this took forever but I promise that I'll try to update more sooner. Now on with the disclaimer!

Tala: (Hides)

Me: -.- Are my disclaimers that bad? Sigh. I'll do it myself. I do not own nor will I ever own Beyblade. Though I do own Yang and if you want to use her in a story just ask. Okay? And anything in bold and italics (like this) is Russian.

Tala and Rei

"Are you ready?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No"

"..."

"Those kitten eyes will not work on me today Kon."

"So it's Kon now?"

"Yes."

"Yes?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes!"

"Good!"

Rei grabbed Tala by the arm and attempted to pull him off the bed out of the room.

Keyword: Attempt.

Tala grunted with the effort that it took stop Rei from pulling him out of the room. So far Rei got him to stand.

"I...am...not....leaving." he said straining.

"But we have to!" Rei groaned as he let go of Tala, "The next part of the tournament is in Russia!"

"So? Russia is only 5 hours away."

"By plane and due to all the stress you've been under we're taking a bus there!"

"So?"

"It's going to take days! That's why we have to leave now!"

"So?"

"....Are you even listening to me?"

"Da."

"Da?"

"Da." Tala said before flopping down on the bed, "Look. I don't know why we're still going. It's not like we can really compete. Brooklyn is incapable of ever playing again. I'm deemed emotionally unstable."

"That still leaves me, Mariah and Julia."

"Good then you three can go."

"But you're in China."

"Your point is?"

"You don't speak Chinese."

"Hm. Then you can stay."

"Tala!"

"Look Rei." Tala said sitting up and glaring at Rei, "I am not going out there."

Rei sighed, "You've forced my hand Tala."

"What are you talking about?" Tala said arching a red eyebrow.

"I'm calling in the heavy artillery."

"You wouldn't!"

"I would." Rei blew a bang away from the front of his face, "Though as much as I hate to."

Rei got up and went to the door.

"Alright! I'll go!" Tala said, "But only under one condition."

"Yes?"

"If you can find someway for no one to recognize me."

Rei grinned like a Cheshire cat.

"I know just the person to help us out."

Yang and Bryan

Yang smiled softly as she looked at Bryan grumbling to him self. He paid for all the damages to the hotel room and was now packing his and Yang's suitcases.

" Damn suitcase. Why don't they ever close?!" he muttered.

Yang chuckled as she rolled over to Bryan and zipped up the suitcase of the first try.

".....I hate you." he said

" I love you too"

Bryan leaned down to gently kiss apart for air they leaned their foreheads together just staring into each others eyes. This was the moments that Yang loved the most. When there was no one around and Bryan dropped his facade. Sure they weren't big on the PDA but it was alright. They knew that it was rough all around right now but they'll be fine as long as they have each other. Yang reluctantly pulled away when someone knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

"Rei and....Samantha."

Yang and Bryan looked at each other. Bryan arched an eyebrow and Yang scrunched her eyebrows in confusion. Bryan opened the door and almost immediately he closed it back. He stormed over to the window placed his forehead aganst the cool glass.

"Bry?"

"Don't. Not worth it."

Yang rolled over to the door and opened it. Looking at Rei who was dressed normally and had two suitcases seemed fine. The person next to him....

Yang blinked owlishly.

Was that...Tala?!

"I told you this wouldn't work Rei." Tala said sighing

"Au contaire. I think she's speechless because it's such a good disguise." Rei said smugly.

Yang couldn't say anything. It was Tala....as a girl....sad thing is that it was almost convincing. Tala in jeans, graphic t-shirt and jacket almost looked like a girl. He even wore a wig and everything. They even got a bra to stuff for him.

"I...it's...um..." Yang said trying to form some sort of sentence.

"Isn't it a great disguise! Mariah and Julia helped!" Rei said evidently proud.

"Um...yeah. I'm sorry." she said before promptly laughing her ass off.

"You see! Horrible idea! I'm going back to the room!"

"Wait! No! It doesn't look horrible! Honest! Don't leave!"she said between laughs.

Tala glared at Yang but stayed.

"It's just that I wasn't expecting this!" she said calming down.

Yang coughed into her hand before rolling back and whispering to Bryan the situation. Rolling back she smiled.

"Are you ready to go?"

"We are but I think Julia is still packing." said Rei.

"Well let's go and get her." Yang said before rolling forward.

Rei and Tala and jumped out og the way with yells of 'Hey!' and 'Watch it!' respectively.

"Oh and Tala."

"Yes."

"I was wondering....you look awfully comfortable. Are you wearing boxers, briefs or panties under those pants?"

Tala blushed crimson as Yang made her way down the hallway laughing.

Brookyln, Julia and Mariah

"Mariah! Why didn't you tell me we were leaving?!" Julia said cramming stuff into a red and gold suitcase.

"It must've slipped my mind." said Mariah

"Sure....slipped you're mind." Julia muttered under her breath.

"What? Can't hear you?" Mariah said feigning being deaf

"Puta." she said venomously(1)

"Well that's not nice Julia." said Brooklyn lounging on the bed.

Mariah bemusedly watched Julia flutter from one end of the room to the other end like a crazed woman from her seat at the end of the bed. Brooklyn contently laid back and observing his new prosthetic arm.

"You know they say that it takes awhile getting used to my new arm but I kinda think it's cool." he said flexin his 'hand'

"Only you would say that, Brookie." said Mariah.

"Please do not butcher my name." he said, "If you need a nick name Brook is good enough."

"But I like Brookie!" Mariah whined.

"I don't" Brooklyn said plainly.

He raised his arm above his head watching the sun glint off the metal.

"But Brookie is cute!"

"Well, I'm not the cute type."

"Uh guys can you two stop arguing over the stupid name and help me out here!" Julia screeched.

"No" they said in unison before continuing on with the argument.

A knock sounded at the door and Julia ran for it and threw it open without even looking who it was. She immediately went back to frantically packing her stuff.

"...Well hello to you to Julia." Yang said.

Julia grunted.

"You know I could've been some murderer or something." she said.

"Well atleast it would save me from this frantic packing."

"Is it that bad?" Rei asked amused.

"It wouldn't be if she started earlier." Brooklyn said sitting up.

"Hey! I'm not done arguing with you Broccoli!" Mariah yelled randomly.

Everyone stopped and stared at Mariah.

"Broccoli?!" said Julia

"Yeah. Since Brooklyn won't let me call him Brookie--"

"Aw how cute!" Julia cut in

"Yeah! Since he won't let me call him Brookie I shall call him Broccoli! Broccoli he shall be!"

"....Just when I thought you people don't get any stupider. You prove me wrong each and every day." Yang said.

"You may not call me Brookie neither will you call me Broccoli! I told you it's either Brook or Brooklyn."

"You know I kinda like Brookie."

"Not you to Rei!"

"Oh gods. I am so going back to the room! You guys are idiots." Tala said.

Julia shoook her head in disgust and went back to packing. Mariah smiled at Brooklyn as if to say 'I told you so'. Brooklyn ignored her and laid back down. Tala and yang said looks that said 'Save me' and Rei was holding back laughter at the whole situation. A moment of silence passed like this until Brooklyn broke it.

"Tala....I have a question." Brooklyn said, "Two actually. Are you wearing boxers, briefs or panties under those jeans?"

"No comment" he said blushing.

Brooklyn arched an eyebrow at Tala before continuing, " And where did you find a bra big enough to fit you?"

(1)- Puta basically mean prostitute in Spanish.

A/N: Okay a bit rushed in my opinion but you guys deserved something after a while of silence. Sorry about that. Please don't kill me. I made it more humorous than the usual because well. If anything you'd need a laugh or two and don't worry I'll put something in Tala's POV soon. I just wanted to put this up. Special thanks to Pink Angel 1992 for pointing out my errors. Lol. I can spot everyone else's but my own. Domo Arigato for those that reviewed and JaNe! (Slowly walks away but trips over thin air) Dammit!
