Blading Brings People Together

Chapter 4: The Flight to Australia

It had been nearly a week since Charice had met up with her new team, yet she still hadn't heard anything from any of them.

She wondered if they were just not telling her. Maybe they were keeping her in the dark?

These thoughts kept racing through her mind.

What if they didn't want her on the team? What if they had decided to drop her?

Finally, on Thursday, Charice received a phone call from Alex.

"Hello, Charice, I have some news about our upcoming battle." Alex said.

"Which is…?"

"We are battling Team Web-Spinners, the Australian team."

"Ok! Are we fighting here, or are we going to Australia?"

"We're going to Austr-" His last words were drowned out by a shriek of joy from Charice.

"Sorry about that, but I've always wanted to go to Australia! Ever since I was young, I have!" Charice explained.

"Ok, then. We're leaving on Saturday, so see you then." Alex hung up.

Charice squealed to herself, before shouting up the stairs.

"Dasha! Tanya! Louisa! I'm going to Australia!"

Almost immediately, Dasha and Louisa came thundering down.

"Australia? No way!" Louisa yelled.

"You're so lucky!" Dasha squeaked.

"Australia? Good for you, little sis." Tanya's voice floated down the stairs.

"'Good for you'? Is that all you're going to say? She's going to Australia! " Louisa exclaimed.

"Yeah."

-XD-

Bursting with excitement, Charice pulled her deep-purple suitcase through the airport.

She was about to meet her fellow teammates.

Her sisters were coming to see her off.

"I envy you, I really do." Tanya scowled, crossing her arms.

"Oh, come on! It's only Australia!" Charice said.

"Only." Louisa repeated, giving Charice a glare.

"Yeah, only Australia."

"Charice, you're here!" Miku rushed up to the family. "Oh my gosh, you are adorable!" She said to Dasha, pulling her into a bone-crushing hug.

Waving to her friends, Charice walked over to Alex and Mitsuki.

Once again, the Sub was nearly invisible.

"Hi, Alex and Mitsuki." Charice addressed them.

"Hello. Fine weather, isn't it?" Alex replied.

"'Fine weather'? You're just as bad as my sister, Tanya!" Charice joked.

"What was that about me?" Tanya asked.

"Nothing!"

"Ok… well, as soon as we get there, we should try and find some info on the Australian team. I mean, it'd be good to learn something about them." Mitsuki suggested quietly, suddenly becoming opaque again.

"Yeah, we should. The flight leaves in a few minutes, so you had better say goodbye to your family, Charice. Miku, let go of the innocent child." Alex sweatdropped, watching Miku cuddle poor Dasha to death.

"Never!"

"Well you guys, this is it. I'm going to Australia." Charice turned to her sisters (ignoring Miku's protests against Dasha being taken away from her).

"I hate you." Louisa said. "Just kidding, just kidding… have fun, lil' sis."

"As she said, have fun. And make sure you bring us back a victory!" Tanya agreed.

"I'll miss you, big sis!" Dasha managed to break free of Miku's grip ("Hey! Come back here!"), to give Charice a hug.

"I'll miss you too, Dasha." Charice smiled.

"Come on, we'd better go. We don't want to miss the plane." Alex said, and Team Rock Lightning Storm headed off to board their flight to Australia.

-XD-

"Flights bore me." Charice complained, as she flicked through the channels available on the plane's TV.

Miku and Mitsuki were sitting behind her, Alex on Charice's right (she had begged for the window seat), and an Egyptian boy with brown hair and orange bangs in front of her. He had strange orange markings underneath his emerald-green eyes. Next to the Egyptian, there was a green-haired boy with scars on both his cheeks, and blue eyes that matched the color of the sky outside the plane.

These two (that was, the ones in front of her unfortunately: Miku was talking extremely loudly), had been quiet for most of the short flight, speaking only to order drinks or food.

"Wow, I can't wait for the battle! I wonder what beys the Australian team is going to use. Anyway, we're going to win against them so bad!" Miku was saying noisily.

At this, the green-haired boy's head snapped around, and he peered through the gap in between the chairs.

"The Australian team? Beys? Going to win? You're all Bladers, aren't you?" He eyed them.

"Yeah, so what if we are, random-stranger-who-I-cannot-see?" Miku challenged from behind Charice.

"Nothing, nothing at all." The boy smirked.

"Who are you?" Charice asked.

"What does it matter to you?" He replied, smirking even more.

"I'm Nile, and this is Kyoya." The Egyptian finally spoke up.

"Wha-? Nile, why did you tell them?" Kyoya's smirk vanished immediately. Charice had to stifle a giggle.

"They have a right to know. Now, you tell us your names." Nile said, gazing into Charice's violet eyes.

"I'm Charice, this is Alex, the noisy one is Miku, and the other one is Mitsuki. We're Team Rock Lightning Storm, the Beyblade representatives of Philippines." Charice answered, staring into Nile's green eyes in defiance.

"What? Charice, whaddya tell 'em that for?" Miku screeched, waking up Alex.

"What? What happened now?" Alex questioned groggily, blinking sleep from his eyes.

"Don't worry, go back to sleep." Mitsuki said gently, and Alex obliged instantly.

"We're Team Wild Fang, Savannah's Bladers." Nile said. "The other team members are back in Africa. We came to watch Australia's battle to-"

"Why don't you shut up, Nile? They know enough already." Kyoya interrupted. Nile grumbled, but said nothing more.

"Well, it was nice chatting to you." Charice said politely, as the intercom informed them that they would be landing shortly.

"Yeah. It was." Nile muttered under his breath, meant only for Charice to hear.

If Kyoya heard it, he didn't say anything.

"See you around town, maybe?" Charice said to Nile, who nodded slightly.

"Yes. If Kyoya even lets me out of the hotel." Nile waved them goodbye, and followed Kyoya off of the plane.

"He's nice: I like him."

What do you think? Nile and Kyoya weren't originally supposed to be here, but hey presto, and they're there. I was going to have them appear, so I guess this is a perfect place to put them in.
