Author's note: Hope you enjoyed the last chapter- I sure did! I'm glad to say now though that A Final Spark is starting to take shape. Hopefully no more uneventful chapters!

Rei, Lee and I walked inside, and I raced to the nearest elevator. Jacquie was sooo going to get it.

I had all of my suitcases and Rei and Lee took the next elevator after me, I think. As I ran into one which closed as soon as I got in. I pushed the button that would take me to Jacquie's floor, mine was the one above it. Jacquie's floor was floor 5 and mine floor 6.

Maybe I should take my luggage up to my room first - incase we end up beybattling or something. I thought as I pushed floor six as the elevator stopped at five and then closed its doors again.

I was now on my way to see Jacquie. The elevator dinged and I walked out of it onto floor five. Now what was Jacquie's hotel room number again? 512…no, that wasn't it, 514, nope, not right either… 516? Oh yeah that was it!

I went up to knock on the door, but I heard yelling before I had the chance. I decided to eaves drop, just for a little while… it was Jacquie after all, and I don't think she'd mind.

“Where were you?” I rolled my eyes, must be Ryan I thought…who else gets that mad at Jacquie, well besides me, not that I actually get mad at her.

“I went to pick up Destiny and Rei at the airport, with Tyson and Kenny. It's not like we had practice or anything!” Jacquie shot back, anger rising in her voice.

“Didn't I tell you I didn't want you hanging out with those two?” Ryan's voice rose, ooh I soo wanted to go in there and pulverize him. Though I wasn't too sure that would go over so well with either of them. I had heard from Kenny on MSN that Jacquie had told him and Tyson that she wanted to fight her own wars.

“You give me one reason why. One good reason and I'll see what I can do!” Jacquie shouted, “I've told you that you can't control who I hang out with and frankly I'm getting sick of you telling me my friends suck - you never even have a valid reason! I'm going to see Destiny! She might get mad at me, but at least she has reasons!”

“I have reasons.” Ryan's voice quieted down so I could barely make out the words.

“Then state them.” Jacquie's voice was now in an icy tone. Whoa, she's really mad, I thought, the only other time I had heard Jacquie use that tone, was when she had gotten really angry with - well I couldn't remember who it was with, but it was scary.

“I….I - oh forget it. Why would you care anyways? You're too obsessed with Kenny to do anything else.” WHAT? My brain almost exploded, Jacquie wasn't obsessed with Kenny, Ryan was the one obsessing over her hanging out with him and Tyson! What was his deal…unless? No, that couldn't be the reason.

I then heard Jacquie stomp out of the room they were in and walk out the door. “Destiny? What are you doing out here?” Oh shoot, now I was in trouble…

"I'm just...admiring the doorknob, here!" I fake-smiled, pointing to the doorknob and giving it an unprofessional analysis, "Fine craftsmanship this is, with the metal and the... roundness... and the keyhole...?"

Jacquie stood there, her hands on her hips, giving me the I'm-not-buying it look.

I sighed in defeat, "Okay okay... I came up to kill you for leaving Rei and I behind at the airport so suddenly, but then you were talking with what's his name and then... The doorknob..." I trailed off silently and stopped my pointless rambling.

Jacquie sighed, "Hmm. I was just about to go see you, too." she glared at nothing in particular as we started walking to my hotel room, "I'm sorry about leaving you guys behind like that." she grinned, "No really!"

"Right..." I grinned as well, knowing that she wasn't the least bit sincere but at the same time not paying attention to it, "So the meeting starts in fifteen minutes?"

"Yeah," she nodded, "We'd better hurry if we aren't going to be late."

"Are you going to go back and tell Ryan you're..." I think she knew what I was going to say so I didn't bother finishing my sentence.

"After what you just heard? No way. I'm not about to let him ruin this tournament for me, or my friends." she decided. I could tell she was serious about keeping her word.

"I hope so, for your sake." I smiled as I opened my hotel door and put some stuff away, before leaving and heading toour meeting place.

"Do you know where it is?" Jacquie asked while we were halfway down the street, "You've been here before, havn't you?"

"Actually," I paused, "I havn't. I'm glad that I'm finally here though, after all the exciting stories Rei has told me about his adventures with the Bladebreakers. I'm just here wondering if something like that will happen to me during this tournament." I answered, giving a dreamy sigh as we rounded a corner.

I saw something flicker in Jacquie's eyes. It wasn't something I hadn't seen before. Jacquie had just switched into her mischievious mode.

"So.." she grinned, "How are you and Rei doing? You guys seem awfully closer than the last time we were all together."

I smiled sweetly, "We're okay I guess. Why are you asking?"

"Well, I just thought it would be great if you guys would go out sometime, together, alone I mean." she seemed to be thinking aloud but talking to me at the same time.

"You're not trying to set us up for revenge, are you?" I raised an eyebrow, "This would have to be the 8th-"

"9th." she interrupted all of a sudden, then flushed red from embarassment, "Not like anyone is counting you know..."

I gave her a sly smile, "I know..."

Okay I know, doesn't really seem like much is happening but I'm trying to make this a lot better! I'm dying to finally get to the Beyblading part of this story. I just watched Kai battle with Brooklyn and it gave me some new awesome beyblading ideas to input into this story. Anyways that's all for now, enjoy! Don't forget to review.
