Mariam Meets Marie

When Mariam got to the Tatibana residence, she and Hilary went up to Hilary's room and Hilary filled the Saint Shield in on the events that had transpired.

"What a bitch!" Mariam said once Hilary had finished.

"Tell me about it," Hilary said.

"And did she know that you and Tyson were together when she kissed him?"

"I would think so. I'm sure the guys told her."

"And Max is in love with her too?" she asked, a little bit more hesitantly.

"Yeah. I'm sorry. I know you like him," Hilary said, looking at her sympathetically.

Mariam blushed. "W-Who said I like him?" she asked defensively.

Hilary smirked. "Mariam, whenever you and I talk over the phone, you always bring up Max."

The blue-haired tomboy sighed. "I suppose you would know since you're in love with someone too."

"Let's get off the subject. So, until the other girls get here, what do you think we should do in the meantime?" Hilary asked.

"Well first, I want to meet this Marie for myself and see if she really does have the Bladebreakers under some kind of spell," Mariam said.

"I thought it was understood that you believed me already," Hilary said.

"Hilary, it's not that I think you're lying. I just want to verify it so you'll have corroboration when the others get here."

"Alright. Do you want me to go with you?"

"No, I'll be fine on my own."

"She's probably still at the dojo."

"Okay. I'll be back as soon as possible. While I'm there, call Mariah and see when Emily is coming since she's the one who got the information."

"Right."

"Oh and Hilary? Even if he is brainwashed, I'm sure that somewhere deep down, Tyson still loves you."

Hilary impulsively hugged Mariam. "Thanks," she whispered.

"You're welcome. Well, I'd better get going."

Mariam went down to the dojo and as she walked around the grounds, she saw the boys sitting on the ground, all with their eyes glazed over, and big lazy smiles on their faces, looking up at the sky, not noticing her presence. It was if they were high.

Mariam went over to Max and shook him. "Max, are you in there?"

The blond blader looked over in her direction but didn't seem to really see her.

Mariam waved her hand in front of his face. "Hello? Earth to Max."

"Huh? Mariam, is that you?" he asked, looking disoriented.

"Yeah. What are you doing just lying around? Why aren't you and the others training?"

"It's Sunday. Marie said we could take the day off so we gave our beyblades to her for safekeeping."

"You WHAT?" Mariam shouted in disbelief.

"What's the problem?" Max asked, confused at her outburst.

"First of all, Marie is not the captain. Hiro is. Second, what do you think you're doing giving your beyblade and by extension your bit-beast to someone else?"

"It's okay. We trust her."

"Sheesh, Hilary was right. She did put you guys under a spell. Where is she?" Mariam asked.

Max didn't seem to hear the part about a spell so he only addressed her question. "She's cooking us dinner in the kitchen."

Mariam said nothing more and went inside the dojo. She found Marie cooking just as Max said.

"So you're Marie," Mariam said.

Marie turned to the new presence in the room. "Oh hello. Who are you?" she asked.

"My name is Mariam and I'm a friend of the Bladebreakers."

"Nice to meet you," Marie said giving one of her trademark smiles.

"Charmed, I'm sure. Listen, Max told me that you gave the team the day off. I have two questions. Why exactly did you give them the day off and what the hell are you doing with their bit-beasts?" Mariam's smile was malicious and this didn't go unnoticed by Marie.

"Well, they train so hard during the week and I figured they could use a rest. Is there something wrong with me storing their beyblades?"

"I just don't think they would hand over their beyblades so easily. Only Kenny is allowed to touch them and only for repairs."

"…Are you a friend of Hilary by any chance?" Marie asked.

"Why yes, I am."

"Well, she doesn't like me and I don't know why. Did she tell you the reason?"

Mariam's smile faded and now her expression was set in a stern frown. "I think you know why."

"You mean the taking of the beyblades right? I already explained that."

"That's part of it…"

"What's the other part?" Marie asked, as if she truly didn't know.

"Let me ask you this. Did you know that Tyson was Hilary's boyfriend?"

"Well, yeah."

"I'll leave you to figure out the rest. You know something? I'm beginning to see just why Hilary doesn't like you because quite frankly, I'm don't like you very much either."

Mariam turned and began to walk out, but then turned back to Marie.

"Actually, I have one more question. Did you kiss, hug, or any way touch Max in a romantic way?"

"Um…well, yes. I hugged him a few times, kissed him on the cheek several times, and kissed him on the lips once. Why?" Marie asked.

Mariam was silent for a few moments, digesting what she had just heard. Then she slowly stalked up to Marie with a withering glare set on her face.

"For confirmation. And now that I have that confirmation, let me give you a warning. You may be able to fool every boy on this planet, but you can't fool Hilary and you can't fool me. We will find out what you are and you will suffer the consequences for what you've done. Count on it."

Mariam then walked out of the kitchen and off the dojo grounds.

When Mariam got back to Hilary's house, she informed her of the encounter with Marie.

"Mariam, what's the maximum penalty in this country for premeditated murder?" Hilary asked.

"Whoa Hilary, calm down. Remember, we said all of us would be a party in stopping her and killing her was never part of the plan."

"What about beating her to a bloody pulp?" Hilary asked, still sounding completely serious.

"That…might be negotiable," Mariam said with a smirk.

Hilary smirked as well. "Good."

"So, did you find out when Emily is coming?"

"Yeah, she said she should be here a little bit after Julia." Hilary answered.

"Alright. What will we do once the others get here?"

"We have to get Marie to admit to us what it is she's done to get the boys to act like they are. Then maybe we can figure out how to reverse it."

"I'm assuming we say nothing about this to the Bladebreakers."

"Right. They would never believe us anyway."

"Just how are we going to get her to admit it?" Mariam asked.

"One of two ways. She's a beyblader so you, Mariah, Emily or Julia could challenge her to a match with the conditions being that if you win, she tells us. If that doesn't work, we hurt her until she coughs it up."

"I like the second plan better," Mariam said, smiling evilly.

"So do I," Hilary said, sporting her own evil smile.

"Well, I guess all we can do for now is wait. I should get back to the Saint Shields. See you tomorrow," Mariam said as she was getting ready to close the door.

"See you," Hilary said, this time genuinely smiling.
