[ P - Pre-Teen ]

Rain: Konnichiwa! Welcome to chapter 5 of version 2 of T-blade! ^________________^
 
Hotaru: Why are you so happy?
 
Rain: This story is coming out easier then I expected! And I haven't had one bout of writer's block! Isn't that great?
 
Hotaru: . . . and I should be happy, why? This means that you're not working on * my * story, remember?
 
Rain: Of course I remember! But as soon as Owl and I fix the website, I have to start posting your story. (sigh) why did I make that deal with her again?
 
Hotaru: Because you wanted her to post her manga online, remember?
 
Rain: . . . shut up. Do the disclaimer.
 
Hotaru: That's an oxymoron.
 
Rain: Just do it!
 
Hotaru: Whatever. Rain doesn't own Beyblade or its characters. She does own T-blade, Triton, the BladeAngels, and whatever else you don't recognize.

^^So, how does it feel to be home Ty?^^
 
{{. . . Odd.}} Ty could feel Terry scoff, even from where he was. It didn't surprise him- she really, really wasn't happy with him. Still, `odd' was the only way he could think of to describe how it felt to be back at the manor. He felt as though he had been gone a lot longer then two years.
 
Throwing one of his now common pleading looks to Terry- she * still * wouldn't talk to him- he found himself watching his team rather bemusedly. All of them- even Kai- was staring at it in rather obvious awe.
 
Grinning, he couldn't help but tease. “You'll catch flies like that.”
 
The comment was all it took to snap Kai and Ray out of it, though Kenny and Max kept staring.
 
“Where are we?” Ray demanded.
 
Tyson's grin widened. “The manor, of course. C'mon- the inside is better.”
 
Grabbing Kenny and Max, he strolled inside casually, the Ray and Kai following. Mary, Wiz, and Chrys followed as well, but Ari grabbed Terry before she could follow suit.
 
The Captain looked at her coolly. “We need to talk.”
 
Terry swallowed hard.
 
* * * Meanwhile * * *
 
“It really is better on the inside.” Breathed Max, looking around him.
 
Tyson laughed.
 
“Tyson, have you been before?” asked Kenny curiosly.
 
Wiz spoke before he could. “Of course he has- he owns half the place, after all.”
 
The Bladebreakers blinked. Tyson scowled.
 
{{Thanks ever so.}} He thought sourly.
 
~Anytime.~
 
Even while Ty debated what do about the stares his friends were now giving him, Terry came to his rescue from behind.

“Why don't we show you your rooms?”
 
Ty turned and gave her a grateful look, which she returned with a calm stare. Not forgiven, then, but she was ready to hear him out.
 
Smiling inwardly, he said, “I get my old room?”
 
“Of course.” Ari said mildly. Ty wondered what she and Terry had talked about.
 
“Then I'm going to go get settled in. See you guys later.” Ty waved vaguely in their direction and turned to go down a different hallway.
 
“Wait, Tyson!” exclaimed Max.
 
Ty looked at him questioningly.
 
“Isn't your room near ours?” Ty smiled faintly. Apparently Max had gotten used to him being just next door.
 
“Sorry Maxie, my room's on the other side of the Manor.”
 
“Why do you keep calling this place the Manor?” asked Ray.
 
“Its full name is the Element Manor. We just call it the Manor for short.” Wiz said casually.
 
“T-the E-element Manor?” stammered Kenny. “Isn't that place supposed to be haunted?”
 
Ty winced. Terry seemed to share his sentiment.
 
+Looks like our rumors took a bit to well, Ty . . .+
 
“It's not haunted.” Ari snapped. “That was a rumor started by to hooligans a while back. I'm not sure I'm done punishing them for it, either.”
 
“H-hey Terry, wanna help me unpack?” he blurted, wanting to get out of there before Ari made good on her threat.
 
Apparently Terry had the same idea because she wasted no time in mumbling, “Sure,” and racing down the hallway with him.
 
As soon as they reached his room he flipped on the light, slammed and locked the door, and flung himself on the bed next to her.
 
For a moment they lay there, breathing deeply in relief, before Terry sat up, bringing up chin to her knees, and looked him strait in the eye.
 
“Explain.”
 
* * * That Evening * * *
 
Kai poked at his food slightly, rather bored. Max and Mary were talking rapidly (and eating at the same time- quite a feat, eh?) Ray was attempting to have a conversation with Chrys who was ignoring him and listening to Kenny and Wizs' discussion on beyblades. Ari, much like himself, wasn't speaking to anyone.
 
It was Ray who noticed first. “Hey, where are Tyson and Terry?”
 
For some reason, at his comment Mary started giggling, Chrys and Wiz smirked, and Ari sighed.
 
“Don't worry about them, they're probably just catching up in Tyson's room.” Ari said calmly.
 
“But Tyson never misses a meal.” Said Max worriedly.
 
“They're fine.” Ari said firmly. “And girls, if you don't shut up I'll make you train all night.” She emphasized her comment by slamming her fork right between the still giggling Mary's fingers.
 
They shut up.
