Chapter
03: Happy Boys & Girls

~ Tyson ~

�� Man�I�d nearly forgotten how tiring
that long flight can be.�� Tyson let out
a huge yawn and stretched his arms up over his head, following with Rei behind
Kenny and Hilary as they got off the plane at the Edmonton International
Airport.� �At least we�re finally here.�

�� Actually, we have about another
hour and a half to two hour drive yet, Tyson.�� Kenny informed the bluenette.� �There�s supposed to be someone here from the
BBA to pick us up in a BBA bus.�

�� Tyson made a face and slumped.� �Wonderful.�
I was looking forward to a meal and crashing for a few hours.�

�� Rei laughed.� �I�m with you, pal.� I could use a bite to eat.�

�� Over there, guys.�� Hilary pointed ahead of them.� �I see food stands and things over
there.� We could grab some snacks or
something for the ride.�

�� Let�s get our bags first,
though.�� Kenny advised as they got in
line to go through customs.� Tyson nodded
and waited as patiently as the could for his turn.

�� They got through without any
troubles, the customs officer all smiles and welcoming.� After spending ten minutes at the baggage
carousel to pick up their luggage, the group went looking for food.

�� As they approached the seating area,
they heard a familiar voice cry out, �Tyson!�
Hey, Tyson!�

�� The bluenette blinked and he was
suddenly glomped by a blonde blur.� �Ooph!� Max?!�� He exclaimed, staring at his old friend in
shock.� �Oh my God!� I didn�t know you were going to be here!�

�� Yeah!� Kenny told me in his emails that we all got
scholarships!� I was so excited!�� Max grinned, his mega-Watt smile brilliant.� He looked at Rei and grinned more.� �Hi, Rei!�

�� The older blader grinned back,
flashing fang.� �Hey, Maxie!� How�s
it goin�?�

�� You guys knew?� And no one told me?�� Tyson demanded, hands on hips.� Kenny smiled and shrugged.

�� I didn�t tell anyone, Tyson.� I wanted it to be a surprise.�� He informed his best friend.� �I�m sorry.�

�� Tyson laughed and gave him a
sheepish look.� �Nah.� It�s okay,
Chief.� It�s a good surprise.�

�� Good to see you, Chief!� And Hilary, too!�� Max glomped them
both in greeting, tossing an arm around each of their shoulders.

�� Hilary giggled and gave him a brief
one-armed hug in return.� �Great to see
you, too, Max.�

�� Oh!�
Rei!� The White Tigers are already
here.�� Max looked over at the
raven-haired teen.� �They got here this
morning an hour before the All-Starz and I did.� Lee said to say hi.�

�� Rei nodded.� �Great!�
I figured they�d get here before I would.�

�� The All-Starz, too?�
Wow�� Tyson smiled, a rare, genuine smile that didn�t happen as often as
it used to.� �It is a regular reunion,
huh?�

�� Yep!�� Max agreed cheerfully.� �I think it�s going to be really great having
everyone together again.� And wait �till
you see who the university has brought in to run Spirit Hall!�

�� Spirit Hall?�� Hilary tilted her head curiously at him.� �What�s that?�

�� It�s what the residence on campus
is called where we�re all going to be living while we�re here.�� Max replied.�
He motioned for them to follow him.�
�Come on!� We can go get your
stuff stored on the bus while we wait for the last group to come in.�

�� Wait!� I gotta get food
first!�� Tyson dropped his bags next to
Hilary�s and dashed off.

�� Me too.� You guys want anything?�� Rei asked.�
Kenny shook his head, and Hilary thought for a moment.

�� Just a soda or something, please,
Rei.�� She finally decided.

�� Alright.� Be right back.�� Rei hurried after Tyson.

�� While they waited, Kenny gave the
blonde a curious look.� �So who�s the
last of the group to arrive?�

�� Well, I only know that the flight
is coming in from London, via Toronto.�
Our BBA rep/bus driver wouldn�t give me names.�� Max made a face.� �I think the idea is to surprise us at the
�meet your neighbours� gathering that�s supposed to be tonight.�

�� A party?�� Hilary asked.

�� Not quite.�� Max shook his head.� �Just a brief ice-breaker
kind of thing.� Although�� a
mischievous grin crossed his face.� �A
party is something we should definitely keep in mind for a later date, don�t
you think?�� He winked.

�� Yeah!� Definitely!�� Hilary laughed

�� A man in a driver�s uniform with a
BBA logo on his hat came up to them then.�
�Hello, everyone.� You must be the students from Japan.�� He tipped his hat in greeting.� �I�m John, and I�ll be driving all of you to
campus.�

�� Nice to meet you,
John.�� Hilary returned.

�� Max looked over her shoulder.� �Oh, good.� Here come Tyson and Rei.� How much longer until the
next group arrives?�� He asked
John.

�� Yes, about them�I just got a phone
call to tell me that the flight was delayed in Toronto because of some technical
difficulties.�� John replied.� He looked a little confused.� �I�m not sure how, but someone of that group
is chartering another plane.� Well,
however they�re managing that, I�ve been told to take your group to the university
and return for the others.� By the time
they get here, I�ll be back to meet them.�

�� I guess we�d better get moving
then, hadn�t we?�� Kenny picked up his
bags and one of Hilary�s as Tyson and Rei rejoined them � food in hand.

�� Hey guys!�� Rei handed Hilary her soda.

�� Thanks, Rei!�

�� We�re heading out, Tyson.� The flight the next group was on was delayed
in Toronto.�� Kenny told them.

�� Yeah?� Okay.��
Tyson shrugged and juggled his food, picking up his bags.

�� Let me help with those.�� Max grabbed one of Tyson�s and one of Rei�s so they wouldn�t be trying to balance everything with
their food.� �Oh!� And this is John.� He�s our bus driver.�

�� As a group, they followed John to
the BBA bus and loaded all their bags before boarding it and grabbing seats.

�� Rei sat across from Hilary and Kenny
on one side of the bus, and on the other Tyson sat
across from Max.

�� I love these tour buses.�� Max declared, settling back in his seat.� �They�re so comfy and it�s easier to have a
conversation when you don�t have to look over the back of a seat.�

�� Tyson nodded in agreement, still
munching.� He swallowed, took a sip of
his soda, and said, �They�re nicer than I remember.�

�� Yeah�those were the days,
alright!�� Max had a reminiscent look on
his face.

�� Yeah.�

�� The bus started moving and the two
old friends fell into a companionable silence, watching the scenery of the wide
open, green countryside of their new home.

�� Sometime later, Tyson glanced over
and saw that Kenny, Hilary, and Rei were all asleep.� He chuckled quietly, catching Max�s
attention.� The blonde made a questioning
noise, and Tyson pointed.

�� Heh.� It�s
been a long trip for all of you.� Can�t blame them.�

�� I�m too wired to sleep.�� Tyson admitted.� Max nodded.

�� Hey, Tyson�� Max hesitated.� He didn�t want to bring up the subject if it
would upset his friend, but at the same time he wanted to let Tyson know that
he�d been thinking of him since he�d learned about Tyson�s grandfather, and to
express his sympathy.

�� Yeah, Max?�� Tyson tilted his head to the side in
question.

�� I just�I was very sorry and sad to
hear about Grandpa.� �Max finally managed
to say.� Tyson sighed and gave the other
blader a tiny smile meant to reassure him.

�� Thanks,
Max.� I know.�

�� I�m sorry, Tyson.� I didn�t want to bring it up and make you
sad.� But I didn�t want you to think I
was insensitive either.�

�� I know.� I appreciate it.�� Tyson glanced over at the others again.� �I couldn�t have better friends than all of
you.� I don�t know that I could have made
it without all of you.�

�� Max�s smile was sad.� �I wish I could have been there, too.� I didn�t get Kenny�s emails until I got home
from this camp I went to with the All-Starz.� By then it was too late.�

�� You were there in spirit.� Don�t worry, Max old buddy.�� Tyson opened his bottle of water and took a
quick drink.� �I still miss him � and probably
always will � but I�m okay.� I have
school to look forward to, now, after all.�

�� Max nodded.� �Yep!� Me too.� Still, if you need to talk or something��

�� I know.� Thank you.�

~~~~~~~~~~~

�� The bus trip only took an hour and
forty-five minutes.� Max was grinning
from ear to ear when they finally pulled up in front of a large, eight-story
building � only one among several large buildings and wide open green,
park-like spaces.

�� Wait until you guys see Spirit
Hall.�� He remarked as they disembarked.� �Heck, wait until you see the campus!� It�s really beautiful.�

�� So you�ve already unpacked,
Max?�� Rei asked, taking his bags from
John as he unloaded their luggage.�
�Thanks, John.�

�� Not really, no.� I�ll get around to it.�� Max shook his head.� �I wanted to check things out first, and then
come� and meet
all of you at the airport.�

�� I can�t wait to see it.� You�ll have to give us a tour, Maxie.�� Hilary
smiled.

�� You bet, Hil!�

�� A new voice spoke up, startling the
group with its familiarity.

�� Welcome to Spirit Hall, Bladebreakers!� It�s
really great to see everyone again!�

�� Zeo!�� The
group (minus Max, who just grinned) chorused.

�� Dude!� What are you doing here?�� Tyson dropped his bag and held out a hand to
shake his former rival�s.� �How are you, Zeo?�

�� Hey, Tyson!�� Zeo laughed and
gave his friend a giant bear hug.� �I
know it�s a surprise.� I was a little
surprised, too, when Mr. Dickenson asked me to take up this job.�

�� Job?�� Kenny inquired, shaking Zeo�s
hand in turn.

�� Meet Spirit
Hall�s student liaison and residence coordinator.�� Max declared, clapping the aqua-haired teen
on the shoulder.

�� That�s me.�� Zeo grinned,
rolling his eyes.� �Basically, it�s my
job to keep an eye on the residents of Spirit Hall, deal with their problems,
and take care of them, etc.� Think of me
as your parent away from home.�

�� No offence, dude,� Tyson made a
face.� �But no thanks.�

�� The two grinned at each other.

�� The day�s full of surprises.�� Rei smiled.�
�It�s just great to see everyone again, too.�

�� Well, come on!� I�ll take you up to your suites, and give you
the info-speech I�m supposed to.� No use
standing around out here, right?�� Zeo gestured for the group to grab their stuff and follow
him.

�� The front lobby was designed to look
more like an oversized living room, with comfortable looking chairs and couches
set up near a fireplace that wasn�t on.�
In one corner, near the elevator doors and a hallway, was a desk made of
metal and what appeared to be glass (but was probably either plastic or pexi-glass).� Zeo stopped at the desk for a moment to grab a pile of
large envelopes and a little, hand-held computer device that looked like a Palm
Pilot.� Then he took them to the
elevators.

�� Okay�so I have an envelope for each
of you.�� He said, passing them out. ��Inside, you�ll find a student handbook �
which is like a book that has all the rules and stuff in it � as well as a
booklet with rules specific to Spirit Hall regarding visitors, parties, etc.�� Zeo pushed the �up�
button for the elevators.� �And there should
be some information pamphlets on the city with stuff about shopping,
businesses, and whatever, and coupon books for all kinds of stuff.� You�ll also find a welcome letter from Mr.
Dickenson, and a key card that�s about the size of a key-tag that you can hook
onto your keys for safe keeping and easy use.�

�� Cool.� I take it the security is pretty tight on
this building?�� Kenny had found his and
was examining it.

�� No.�
Well, no more than an upscale apartment building, really.�� Zeo shook his head
and stepped into the elevator that arrived first.� The others followed, and after the doors shut
and the elevator began to move, he continued.�
�If you should lose that key-card, be sure to tell me immediately so I
can change the codes and get you a new one.�

�� We�ll take good care of them, Zeo.�� Rei assured
him.

�� I know!� I just have to give you the speech, you
know?�� Zeo
shrugged.� �Anyway, on the main floor,
down that hallway you saw before we got on the elevator, you�ll find the
gymnasium and weight training room.� In
the basement there is an Olympic-sized pool and full facilities.� The second floor is the Beyblade training
facility with two standard, competition-sized beydishes.� On the third floor you�ll find my suite �
should you need me � and the common room.�
That�s where we�ll be holding the ice-breaker meeting later this
evening, by the way.�

�� The elevator stopped and they got
off.� Zeo led
them down the long hallway and stopped at the first door they came to.� �Okay.�
You�re all on this floor � eighth � and this would be Kenny and Hilary�s
room, I believe.�� He consulted his
little computer device.� �Yep.�

�� They actually allow co-ed
dorms?�� Hilary blinked.

�� Well�not normally.� They make exceptions, however, for siblings,
married couples, or soon-to-be-married couples such as yourselves.�� Zeo smiled,
winking.� �Plus, Mr. D knows all of you
so well, and he knows there won�t be any trouble from you.� He trusts that you�re all responsible adults
by now, anyway.�

�� Kenny blushed and looked at his
fianc�e.� �I don�t mind if you don�t,
Hilary.�

�� Of course not.� Just don�t expect me to do all the cooking and cleaning, Kenny.�� She warned him.� The Chief hastily shook his head.

�� Wouldn�t dream of
it, my love.�

�� Oh yeah!� Hey, I meant to congratulate you both earlier
but I totally got sidetracked.�� Max glomped them with a whoop.�
�So congrats!�

�� May I borrow your key-card,
Chief?�� Zeo
asked.� Kenny handed it over.� �I�ll show all of you how it works.� It�s pretty simple.� You just slide it into the slot here,� he
demonstrated by sliding the tiny key-card into a slot on the wall next to the
door knob, and a little green light above the slot lit up.� �And voila!� Unlocked.�� Zeo pushed open the
door and flipped the lights on inside.�
�There you go, you two.�

�� Wow�I wasn�t expecting student
residence to be so spacious.�� Hilary
observed, impressed.

�� When the building was being
designed, they decided that it was an investment to make the residences of
Spirit Hall more apartment-like and less dormitory.� In fact, all the residences on campus are
like mini-apartments, though not quite as large as Spirit Hall.�

�� Still�it�s great!�

�� Smiling, Zeo
looked back at the others.� �Well, let�s
leave them to explore, unpack, whatever, and get you two into your own homes,
shall we?�

�� Yeah!� I can�t wait to see it, now.�� Rei nodded with enthusiasm.

�� It�s really great, Rei.�� Max told him.�
�I hope you don�t mind having a roommate, though.�

�� Rei blinked.� �No, I don�t mind.�� He frowned.�
�Or should I?�

�� I�m your roomie!�� Max grinned, and Rei
laughed, ruffling his blonde hair affectionately.

�� Oh, well, then I don�t mind at
all.� We get along just fine, after all.�

�� My thoughts
exactly.�

�� Zeo led
them to the next door, this one on the opposite side of the hall and down a
little from Kenny and Hilary.� Max opened
the door and led Rei inside.

�� Tyson followed Zeo
to the end of the hall to a third door.

�� And this is your suite,
Tyson.�� The teenaged cyborg
declared.� �Your roommate hasn�t arrived
yet, but don�t worry.� I�m pretty sure
you two will get along really well when he does arrive.�

�� Tyson raised an eyebrow at him and
unlocked the door.� �Who might that be?�

�� Zeo
winked.� �It�s a surprise.� But I will tell you that we know him, and
that he�s come a very long way � both as a blader, and a friend.�� Zeo clapped Tyson
on the shoulder.� �I�m off to take care
of some other stuff before the meeting tonight, though.� I�ll see you later, okay, buddy?�

�� Yeah.� Sure thing, Zeo.�� Tyson
watched him head back down the hall to the elevator, then
turned to go into his new home and explore.

~~~~~~~~~~~

�� Walking into the suite, Tyson was
struck by the spaciousness of it.

�� Geez.� This
place doesn�t do anything small, does it?��
He said to himself.� The area in
front of him was one large room � a kitchen with a small table in a dining
area, and a living room.� Off the living
room, Tyson could see a balcony beyond sliding glass doors.� Along the far wall from his position at the
door, there were four doors.� Two were
open, and Tyson kicked off his shoes then went over to inspect the rooms
beyond.� The first was a storage closet,
the second a bedroom, and the third was the bathroom.� Tyson went into the bedroom, ignoring the
fourth door, which he assumed was the other bedroom.

�� Dropping his bags on the bed, he ran
a hand through his hair as he recognized the boxes stacked on the floor as his
own.� �Well, I guess they got here
alright.� Hopefully, nothing got damaged
on the flight over.�� He looked around,
spotting another door near the closet.�
He went over and opened it curiously, revealing the bathroom.� �Cool.��
Tyson shut the door again and looked around.

�� The room was about same size as his own at home.�
There was a double bed, a dresser, a bedside table and lamp, a desk and
a small bookshelf above the desk.� All in
all, it seemed quite comfortable.

�� Deciding to begin unpacking his
boxes, so he at least had some clean clothes for the next day and maybe a book
or something to keep himself occupied, Tyson went over to the stack of boxes and
dug in.� In the first, he found his manga, a few books, his Beyblade equipment, and the framed
photos he�d chosen of his family, his team, and of his friends back home.� He left the pictures on the desk for the
moment, intending to find places for them after he had everything else put
away.

�� He found his clothes in the next
box, and carried it over to the closet to hang things up later.� In the next box was his stereo and CDs, which
he immediately began hooking up and setting up so he could at least have music
to listen to while he worked.

�� Tyson was cursing his discovery of
no hangers for his clothes in the closet when his doorbell caught his
attention.� He backed out of the closet
and went to answer the door.

�� It was Max.� �Hey!�
Aren�t you unpacking?�� Tyson
asked the blonde.� He stepped aside to
let him in.

�� Nah.� I don�t feel like it.� And Rei had
to go see Mariah.�� Max laughed, and
rolled his eyes.� �You know those two.�

�� Yeah.�� Tyson shook his head wryly.� �Well, you�re welcome to keep me company
while I unpack, then.�

�� Sure!�

~~~~~~~~~~~~

�� At 8 pm, as the sun was only just
beginning to set on the horizon, Tyson and Max stopped by to get Kenny and
Hilary and the four went down to the third floor common room for the
ice-breaker.

�� I�m so excited to meet your old
friends!�� Hilary exclaimed as they
stepped off the elevator.

�� Yeah!� You�ll like them, Hilary.� They�re great!�� Max grinned as they entered the common
room.� �Hey, everyone!� Let the party begin!� We�re here!�

�� The others in the room turned to
look at the new-comers and laughter and greetings filled the room.� There were some new people that others hadn�t
met yet, though, and introductions were in order.� Zeo proceeded to
introduce everyone by team: the White Tigers, the All-Starz,
the Saint Shields, the former Team Psychik, and
finally, the new people.� There was a
pair of twins, brother/sister team, named Julia and Raul who called themselves
F-Dynasty.� And there was two members of
another new team, Barthez� Battalion, Miguel and Mathilda.

�� Just as Zeo
was about to introduce the Bladebreakers, the doors
to the common room swung open and another teen (about the same size as Dunga or Gary) strolled in casually, ears plugged with
earphones that were connected to the Discman attached to his belt at his
hip.� He pulled one out and looked around
the room at everyone with a total lack of interest.

�� I�m here.�� He announced, his gaze lading on the All-Starz.� �Did I miss
anything important?�

�� We�re introducing ourselves,
Rick.� Where have you been?�� Michael demanded with a glare.� Rick shrugged indifferently and ignored the
question.

�� I guess not.� Well, I�m Rick, and I�m from New York City.� I�m the best blader around,
and I suppose I�m supposed to be one of these guys�� he pointed at the American
team.� �But I don�t do teams.� I�m out of here.� I need a nap.�� He yawned rudely and walked out again,
plugging his ear again.

�� After a moment of stunned silence,
Eddy spoke up.� �Uh�sorry
about him.� He�s not that bad,
really�he�s just�new.�

�� He�ll warm up to everyone
eventually.�� Zeo
agreed.� �Now, as I was saying�these are
the Bladebreakers!�
That�s Max, Rei, Kenny, Hilary, and of course, Tyson!�

�� So you guys are the famous Bladebreakers, huh?��
Miguel nodded at them in greeting.�
�It�s a pleasure to meet you.� I
look forward to blading against you sometime.�

�� Likewise,
Miguel.�� Rei returned.

�� Hey, wait a second�� Dunga suddenly said.�
�You�re one team mate short.�

�� Yeah�where�s Kai?�� Emily asked.

�� Just the mere mention of his name
made Tyson freeze in place, carefully schooling his face to show no sign of
what he really was feeling.� Max and Rei
looked at him, then at Kenny and Hilary, then back to everyone else.� They�d noticed the sudden change in their
friend, and wondered at it.

�� We don�t know.�� Max finally replied, his usual genki spark fading a little.

�� None of us have talked to him or
anything for a really long time, now.��
Kenny informed them sadly.� He was
watching Tyson out of the corner of his eye, knowing perfectly well just what
Kai meant to Tyson after all this time.�
The brunette wanted to hug the World Champion when he saw the tremor in
Tyson�s hand as he reached for his glass of soda.

�� He�s fine.�� Tyson said, no real
inflection in his voice to betray his chaotic thoughts.� �You know him�he doesn�t know the meaning of
the phrase, �Keep in touch.��

�� Actually�� another voice broke in.� �I do.� I�ve just been�incommunicado, of late.�

�� No one had heard the doors open
again, admitting two tall teens laden with baggage.� One was Kai, and when Tyson turned slowly to
stare in shock, he felt the room spin and his heart stop briefly before it
suddenly started to pound, making him a little bit dizzy.� There was the one person he wanted to see most
in the world�after all this time�

�� Kai!�� Their team mates chorused with excitement and
welcome, jumping up and running over to him.�
He cracked a smile and held up his hands to ward them off.

�� Whoa!� Hold it right there!� The first one of you to glomp
me gets tossed off a balcony.�� Kai shooed them out of his personal
space.� �That goes double for you, Mizuhara.�� He gave
the blonde a quick glare of warning.

�� Max grinned sheepishly and scratched
his head, but gave heed to the warning.

�� We�re so glad to see you�re okay,
Kai!�� Hilary gave him a quick pat on the
shoulder in greeting before planting her hands on her hips.� �But where the hell have you been!?�
And why haven�t you called or something?!�

�� It�s a long, long story,
Hilary.� One that I promise I�ll explain
later, okay?�� Kai glanced over his
shoulder at the other teen.� �Look who
else is joining us, guys.�

�� Kenny blinked under his hair in
surprise.� �Tala!�

�� Zeo came
up behind Max, smiling slightly.� �And
that�s the last of us.� The reunion�s
complete!�
