[ P - Pre-Teen ]

Disclaimer: Beyblade once again doesn't belong to me...

Author's note: Okay, I've worked really hard on this chapter you guys so don't forget to review! Some really polite critisism would be appreciated. I'm very sorry for the lack of updates.I thought that since my computer was fixed, there would be way more frequent updates but I'm hitting a really rocky road with A Final Spark, trying to make it live up to Solitary Flame and trying to write out the plot that Jacquie and I thought of. So again I apologize in advance for the lack of updates and boring chapters. I don't really have much to say, anymore, except, check out my other stories (mainly Soulful Sacrifice) and poem collective!

Chapter 4

Rei's POV

Destiny and I were just getting off the plane when these reporters started to swarm us, sticking microphones in our faces.

Actually, they swarmed only her.

"Miss Mannings!" they cried, "Miss Mannings, would you answer a few questions for us?"

"For the last time," she shouted loudly, "I don't have any comments for you!"

"But-"

"You heard her," I jumped in, "the girl said no!"

The reporters gurmbled and walked off, scattering in different directions.

"Thanks..." Destiny smiled, "I don't know what I would have done if you weren't here."

"You're welcome." I replied, forcing a smile. I wasn't used to being ignored and pushed away by the local reporters. It made me feel...

Suddenly, a familiar and yet at the same time, unfamiliar voice penetrated my thoughts.

"Look at Des, you guys..." the voice began, "She can't even get off a plane without being mobbed."

Destiny turned her gaze to the voice.

Iris Dierra. What a surprise...

"Dierra..." Destiny glared icily. I knew she was trying to remain civil.

"Mannings." Iris almost laughed upon saying her name, "I thought this tournament was only for the top bladers."

Destiny grinned, "Then I guess I should be surprised seeing you here, Iris." she winked mockingly.

Iris frowned, "Are you looking for another fight... Because if you are..."

"You bet I-"

I didn't waste any more time. I stepped up behind Destiny and held her back, "Not now.." I hissed quietly.

Destiny started to relax. She gently jerked herself out of my grasp and picked up her bags and started walking towards the airport building, shaking her head, "I'll wait for you inside.."

I started to pick up my bags when Iris stepped in front of me.

"...Can I help you?" I asked, not even bothering to look up.

"Cutie, why don't you just ditch the freak and hang out with us-" Iris began, before being interrupted by one of her teammates. A cute and petite brunette with blue green eyes whom I presumed to be Ardene.

"Iris, you've done enough damage for one day. Let's go..."

Iris sighed, "Fine... But if you want to leave yesterday's trash, come with me and I'll hook you up." she winked and followed the rest of her teammates.

I gathered the rest of my things and followed Destiny to the building.

"What... took you so long?" she asked, cautiously.

"Huh? Oh nothing. I guess these bags are a bit heavier than I expected." I lied smoothly, forcing a laugh.

Before I knew it, her hand was over mine, "I can take this one." she said hesitantly. Destiny tugged at the bag and added it's weight to the three she was already carrying.

"Thanks, Des." I smiled, immediately feeling guilty about lying to her. But then again, I guess it could be worse if I had told her the truth.

"Now..." she began, immediately changing the subject, "Kenny and Tyson..." Checking her watch, she frowned, "They probably wont be here for another few minutes..."

I let out an amused chuckle, "Come on, Des, it's only a few minutes. You'll survive."

Destiny punched me playfully but still hard on the arm, "Thanks." she huffed.

&&&&&&&&&&&&& amp;&&&&&&&

Kenny's POV

Jacquie, Tyson and I sat in the taxi, all tense. We were at least an hour late going to the airport.

Jacquie decided to finally break the icy silence, "Do you know how impatient Des gets on a plane?"

Not exactly what I had in mind.

"She must be going crazy right about now!" she continued, "Next time I plan to go somewhere and you're asleep, Tyson, I'm leaving you behind."

"Just shut it, Jacquie." he snapped, with an almost amused face.

"Don't blame it on me if Des is all cranky when we pick her up."Jacquie snapped back.

"We've always got Rei to calm her down." I finally chirped in, "Besides he-"

Tyson and I stared at Jacquie, whose eyes were twinkling with mischief.

"Why am I not liking this..."

"Des," Jacquie grinned, "this is payback..." she signaled for all of us to huddle together, "This is what I'm going to call Operation Des and Rei."

I groaned, "Not another payback plan... How many have you made, Jacquie?"

She grumbled for a few seconds and finally muttered, "Eight.."

"And how many have worked?"

"...Kenny-"

"How many?"

"...None."

"So," I began logically, "what makes you think this one is going to work?"

"This one is going to work because I'm going to make it work!" she replied,a-matter-of-factly.

I sighed, "Alright, what's the plan..."

&&&&&&&&&&&&& amp;&&&&&

"Where were you guys?" Destiny fumed as we finally met her and Rei in the airport.

"Sorry, Des..." Tyson apologized, "I kinda woke up late."

Destiny shrugged and lifted her bags to carry them, "At least you're here now..."

We all stopped and looked at her.

Did Destiny Mannings just pass up the chance to stay mad at Tyson for at least an hour?

She read all of our minds and replied with a, "Yes."

We all grinned and kept on walking to the cab. The cab driver waved a hand and motioned for us to hurry.

"Oh yeah..." I began, "We left the meter running so..."

Everyone started to dash off, leaving me behind. Jacquie stopped suddenly to grab my wrist and continue running.

I saw Destiny give off a smirk as she looked back and continued running to the cab.

Okay short chapter, but hey at least it's a chapter right? Anyways working hard on the next chapter right now, so enjoy!
