Beyblade Fan Fiction ❯ Moving to California ❯ You serious? ( Chapter 53 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

A shame I do not own Beyblade or the characters..cause then you would see them in a lot of...neat situations^^


«You serious?»

« I can`t believe it...We actually get next week off? All of it? Pinch my arm Jadey, I think I am dreaming....» Jade said with dreamy eyes. It was Tuesday and school had just finished. Aya smiled mischievously and pinched her cousin`s arm.

« Ouch! What did ya do that for? I didn`t mean it for real!»

Aya shrugged. Destiney just had to smile at those two. It was true what Jade had said. Their headmaster, Mr.Avatory had announced that the school would be closed next week due to some trouble with the air conditioning and other stuff. The students ahd been too busy cheering and shouting in joy to listen properly. There had been some technical wrongs to the system that needed to be fixed immideately. The pupils were in a state of shock and extacy and Mr.Harty just had to let them go earlier today because of all the commotion and the fact that no one would even bother listening to him when he rose his voice.

So at this moment they were sitting outside school keeping Aya,Jade and Mariah company until their bus arrived (well....make Kai an exception of course). Tala was back at school despite his memory not being the best just yet. He kept forgetting things all the time...and he knew how to exploit it when it came to getting away with not having done his homework. Nate`s shoulder had come out of the bandages, but he still couldn`t move it properly..or move it very much at all. Same as Tala-he was also a bit distant and forgetting when it came to most things.

Kai had made this rather cruel joke about them probably having lost a couple of brain cells, making Tala slap him at the back of his head with his well hand. Nate would be back at school tomorrow. Destiney looked to Malisia, seeing the distant, pretty quiet behavior of hers. It almost looked as if she was planning something that she didn`t want to share with them just yet.

For the fifth time in a short while she found herself lying sprawled across the floor, the wooden stick knocked out of her hands. Rei pulled her to her feet again with a sigh and handed her the stick.

« You are not concentrating,dear....It will not work if you cant keep your mind focused on what you are doing»

She smiled in apology.

« I am sorry Rei...I was just wondering if Malisia is up to something. She seem to be a little distant, like she was keeping some secret from the rest of us».

Rei chuckled.

« I don`t doubt that she is plotting something...The last time we had a couple of days off from school she dragged us all along on a trip to Russia to go skiing».

« To Russia?Wow...»

« Yeah...we had a great time and we quickly noticed who had been skiing before,and who had not».

Destiney laughed softly.

« Who?»

« Well..Kai and Malis were the only ones that could really ski. They spend two weeks in Finland each summer. The rest of us on the others side....Well, Tala could ski too since he comes from Russia».

They sat down on the floor, talking instead of training and Destiney listened closly to everything Rei could tell her from that trip.


« Tala?»

« Um..?»

They were walking side by side in the park, enjoying the lovely weather without talking...something that proved to be near to impossible for the two young teens. She reached out her hand seeking the warmth of his, their fingers entwining. Tala felt the heat rise in his cheeks when she tip toed and pecked him on the cheek. His face broke into a brilliant smile.

My Jadey, he thought proudly and squeezed her hand lightly.


«WHAT?» they all burst out in unison. Malisia`s grin seemed glued to her face as she crossed her arms, leaning back in her chair in a relaxed manner.

« You really serious about this?» Mariah stuttered.

Kai cast his twin an ugly glare when she nodded.

« Yeah,we`re going on a trip...to Norway»

(Kanilla: hehe....tenker den kom overraskende på eller hva sier du Morten?)

They all looked pretty baffled..Well, make Kai an exception as usual as he managed to pry that out of his sister the evening before.

« But..are you paying?»

She shook her head.

« Naaah, dad is the best, he told me that it was a great idea-that it would be fun...So he takes care of that».

Jade literally glomped her while laughing.

«We are going away from California!!!» she exclaimed. Malisia grinned even wider and pushed her carefully away. With Aya being the reasonable and logical person she was, she just had to ask when they were leaving.

« Friday night...And you`re coming along too, Rydan».

The boy with the purple hair looked up, his face holding a bright smile that clearly showed of his fangs.

» Really? Here I come to California to visit my cousin..and I end up tagging along to Scandinavia instead....» he chuckled.


« Mom, we are going on a trip!! Malisia is taking us along!!!» Nate chirped in excitement the moment he spotted his mother in the kitchen. She smiled warmly and ruffled his hair.

« I know,sweetie..Malisia called me last night and explained all the things that needed an explanation»

Dmitri, now sitting by the table drawing something on the newspaper raised his head, his eyes big and puzzled.

« You leaving? How long will you be gone then?»

« About a week» Tala answered, snatching an apple from the fridge.

Dmitri`s face fell all of a sudden.

« But then I`ll be all alone here! Can you bring me something back home?» he asked, his eyes begging.

« Of course we will, Vivi!!! We will find something nice for you-trust me» Nate assured him with one of his huge grins and the boy seemed to calm down at his promise, resuming to drawing again.

« Maybe you should all start packing tonight?» Mrs.Raiden suggested. Destiney, who had just entered the room placed herself on the desk.

« Pack tonight? But we have all tomorrow, mom!»

Mrs.Raiden cast her a stern look and winked her down from the desk. Destiney grinned widely and jumped down.

« Start packing today...and don`t forget that it rains a lot in Norway, and it`s colder than here. So dress for cold weather, ne?»

« How do you know that it rains a lot?» Nate wondered.

« Because I spent a year living in the city you are going to visit, studying art and art history. And believe me-it rains a lot. There is a reason that Bergen is called the city of rain. And this time of year it is bound to rain a whole lot» Mrs.Raiden explained with a smile.


« So...you will be away all week then?» asked Aydan with a little smile.

She nodded, lying down on the grass to look up at the clear blue sky above. Everything seemed beautiful today, she thought happily. The sun fell on the hill,making all the flowers look like the were glowing with bright light. There was a gentle breeze blowing,catching her hair and making it whirl in the air before it let go and moved on. She sighed and covered her eyes with her arm to shut out the sharp light.

« I heard Norway is a pretty country.. One of my uncles lives there....But I have never been there myself though. They have a pretty funny language, I know that much»

« Funny language? How come..?»

Aydan chuckled, lying down beside her with his hands comfortably behind his head.

« Whenever mom speaks with him on the phone there is a lot of noise in the background from his kids and they mostly speak Norwegian...It sounds kinda like German or something»

« You don`t say...? Well let`s just hope they are good at understanding English then» she smiled.

She had decided to ask Aydan if he wanted to tag along to the park today for a walk in the nice weather. He had nothing better to do so he had said yes..and here they were. Destiney wasn`t really sad about breaking up with him anymore, now he was more like a brotherly figure to her. It was better that way, she thought.

The brown haired boy seemed to be of the same opinion as her and now they acted just like two friends who had known each other for years. Aydan had been hanging out a lot with Silver lately, the two seemed to get along well. Destiney thought they were a funny duo..Who knew? Maybe there would be something more than just friendship between the two one day. For now she could not bother herself to think about anything.


Kai was greatly annoyed at the moment. Of course the others had to occupy all the best seats before he got a chance to protest. He was sitting on a row with three seats, at the end. On his left side sat Nate and Jade, and Jade sat leaning over him all the time to talk to the other girls. And on top of it all, Nate was playing his disc man incredibly loud-and Kai really hated jazzmusic.

He had also forgotten to take his own MP3 player from the bag before they entered the plane. And the food you got here did so not taste good, he thought sourly and tried to think of something else, doing his best to ignore the constant chattering from the girls.

He closed his eyes in an attempt to sleep, but snapped them open again after just a little while. This was impossible, he thought and let out an annoyed sigh. He stood up from his seat and leaned over the one in front of his, Destiney and Rydan sitting there.

« Brat, let me borrow your MP3. Your brother is driving me nuts with that terrible music of his»

She looked up at him,one eyebrow arched.

« Be a little polite, Hiwatari. If you don`t ask nicely I refuse to let you borrow anything at all»

He grit his teeth and tried his best to shut out Rydan`s sly smirk. This was pretty humiliating.

« May I please borrow your MP3 player» he said rather than asked.

She smiled and fumbled around in her little backpack to get it.

« Here you go! And Hiwatari? I expect it to be brought back in the same order as it was given to you» she said sweetly, a glint of amusement in her eyes.

Kai snorted and dumped back into his seat. Content with finally being able to get away from the blabbering and jazz he turned on the music and closed his eyes.

Yours sincerly, Kanilla & Nicholas
