Chapter 7

The pre-tournament dance

#### Somewhere in the universe ####

A lone figure sat on a throne in the darkness.

"So, they finally meet." King Endymion said.

"Yes, my love." Queen Beryl replied, snuggling on Endymion's chest.

Turning to the dark queen, King Endymion said, "You do realize that the 6 of them are the only ones who can stop us."

"I know, but they will be helpless with the rest of the senshi on our side, especially Sailor Saturn." Queen Beryl reassured.

"I suppose so. And when we kill them, both the Silver Crystal and the Mercurian Crystal will be ours." King Endymion smirked.

"We must act quickly, milord, before the planetary princes regain their memories." Jadeite reported.

"You are right, Jadeite. Kunzite, send one of your minions to attack. Sailor Mercury will be helpless alone." King Endymion ordered.

"I understand, milord." Kunzite replied, before vanishing in a puff of smoke.

#### The next morning ####

Tyson finally woke up, for once, without Ami's interfering.

Quirking a brow at his cousin, Ami replied, "Guess you learnt your lesson ne, cousin?"

Tyson nodded sheepishly.

Grandpa hollered, "Breakfast!"

"Coming!" The 3 teens yelled.

After breakfast, the 3 teenagers met the rest of the team outside Max's father's Beyblade shop.

Eyeing Ami's toolbox, Kai asked, "What's that?"

Following Kai's gaze, Ami replied, "I always adjust my blades' settings before a match. I know my blades too well to know which setting to use."

The rest of the team nodded in acknowledgement.

Max yelled, "Bus's here."

Once on the bus, everyone picked a seat.

"Window seat?" Ray asked.

Ami nodded.

Then, they sat down.

"Ames?"

"Yes?"

"What do you mean by `blades'?"

"Ray, what I mean is that I have more than 1 blade. 4 of them, in fact, with bit-beasts too." Ami smiled.

"Four? With bit-beasts?" Ray exclaimed.

"Yeah." Ami shrugged, as of it was the usual thing.

"Did I hear you guys say Ami has 4 bit-beasts?" Kenny asked.

Turning to face the team researcher, Ami nodded. "2 of them are so unpredictable that I have to transform outside my Crystal power up. These two are like the ultimate beasts of annihilation. If I can't control them, their powers will go haywire."

Kenny's eyes widened. "Wow." was all he could say.

#### At the hotel ####

"Mr Dickerson sent an e-mail to us." Kenny announced to the team.

"What did he say?" Tyson asked.

"He informed us that there will be a buffet and dance tonight. He also mentioned that we must be dressed in formal clothes. Mr Dickerson also said that he didn't think anyone of us brought any formal clothes, so he will be sending the clothes up to our hotel rooms."

"Kenny, tell Mr Dickerson that he do not have to prepare my dress. I already have the prefect one." Ami told the computer genius.

"Okay." Kenny replied, before sending a reply message back to Mr Dickerson.

"You have a dress?" The rest of the team questioned her.

Ami nodded.

"You guys will just have to wait until tonight to see it." she winked, before retreating to her room to prepare.

#### That night ####

Ami had willed her princess dress on herself and her Mercury symbol to disappear for the night. Smiling at her reflection in the mirror, Ami whirled herself around. Nodding approvingly at her final appearance, Ami stepped out of her room.

Stepping down the staircase to the ballroom, Ami blushed at the intense gazes everyone was giving her. Stepping up to the team, Ami greeted the boys. The teenage boys widened their eyes at the new member of their team.

"Wow." was all they could say.

Then, a high-pitched voice screeched, "Ray!"

Mariah had flung herself at Ray, attaching herself to his arm.

"Mariah, get off." Ray warned.

"You might want to let go of my boyfriend, Mariah. You are cutting off Ray's circulation." Ami warned.

"And who might you be?" Mariah questioned.

"Mariah, there you are." Lee called, catching up with the pink-haired White Tiger.

"Ray, mind introducing your new friend?' Lee asked, looking pointedly at Ami.

"Ow, Lee, you mean you forgot your `adopted' sister? I'm hurt." Ami said jokingly.

"Whoa. Ami, is that you?" Lee asked.

"No, I am a figment of your imagination. Of course it's me." Ami replied, sarcastically.

"Hey Ami. It has been a while, huh?" Lee said, hugging his little `adopted' sister.

Stepping back, Lee commented, "Beautiful."

Turning to Ray, Lee said, "Man, Ray, if she isn't your girlfriend, I would have wooed her."

Slipping a possessive arm around Ami, Ray replied, "And since you know she is my girlfriend, then hands off."

Turning to Mariah, Ami said, "Long time no see, Mariah. I see you haven't changed a bit. You are still the BITCH like before."

Leaning to her, Ami sneered, "Guess you never thought I would have survived that fall, did you? Remember this, Mariah, you will not get rid of me that easily."

Taken aback, Mariah kept quiet.

Turning to Lee, Ami asked, "Where's Gary?"

Lee shrugged, "Where else, the buffet table."

"Same old Gary." Ami giggled.

"Enough talk, Ami, would you like to dance?" Ray asked, attempting to get her attention.

Ami smiled and nodded, "Sure. And you thought I would dance with anyone but you?'

Ray shook his head, "I would never think that."

"Fine then." Ami replied, pulling Ray to the dance floor.

A slow waltz number came on. "Shall we?" Ami asked.

"Definitely, milady." Ray replied, taking her hand.

Then, the couple began a graceful waltz.

When the number ended, Ray asked teasingly, "Up for another dance?"

"You joking? Of course." Ami replied.

Another waltz number came up.

**** 5 dances later ****

"Man, I'm beat." Ami said, slumping onto a chair.

Ray came back with 2 cups of punches and offered 1 to Ami.

Ami shook her head, "You have no idea if anyone spiked the punch or not."

Ray's eyes widened, and deciding to play safe, threw the cups away.

"So, where are the rest?" Ami asked.

"Last time I saw Tyson, he was at the buffet table, Kai was looking out for him, making sure he does not over-gurgle. Kenny left early to finish up some research and I have no idea where Max went." Ray replied.

"Guess, it's just you and me, then." Ami said.

Ray nodded.

"Should we get something to eat? I'm starving." Ami replied.

Ray smiled and nodded.

Taking his outstretched hand, Ami allowed Ray to lead her to the buffet table.

Noting that the buffet had vegetarian dishes, Ami sighed in relief.

Taking whatever she needed, Ami sat down at an empty table, waiting for Ray to join her.

"Hey, beautiful."

Ami whipped around to the sound of the voice. Smiling at her boyfriend, Ami replied, "Hey, Tiger."

Sitting down across her, Ray placed 2 glasses of water on the table.

"About time you arrived, I was getting worried." Ami said.

"How so?" Ray asked.

"Mariah. I was afraid she might try something." Ami replied.

"Relax, Ames, I didn't see her. In fact, I didn't see any of the White Tigers anywhere."

Looking at her watch, Ami exclaimed, "God, it's almost 10. I didn't realize we were up so late."

Ray nodded, "We had better go back to rest after dinner. No wonder I didn't see Tyson around."

#### After dinner ####

Ami and Ray dragged themselves up to their rooms.

Stopping at Ami's door, Ray gave her a quick good-night peck on the cheek, "Night, Ames."

"Night, Tiger. Sweet dreams." Ami replied, kissing him gently on the forehead, before closing her door.

Willing her princess dress off, Ami changed into her pajamas and hit the sack.

SailorStar9: Finally, the bad guys appear. I bet you people are surprised that I made Ami appear in her princess dress, right? I thought it was appropriate.
