*still panting* sorry, three reviews in two minutes *pant* impossible *pant/dies*

Though I was smart and read BEFORE reviewing :D I knew what was to come! *sighs* anywho, this unfortunately has to be brief but: i really love it so far! ** whatever that 'yousuck' person said because they don't know jazz-all! *glares daggers at flamer* aside from that, hope you don't mind Arista's still family! ^.^

you rock my cosmic socks, babes! I can't wait for more and I promise, next time there WILL be more in the review...i'm just being bombarded by a slew of red rubber *thwack...eye twitch* balls -_-'

later gaterette!

hello arcada!
i really like this story so far and ive read ur other ones aswell. its too bad none of them have been updated in a while. anyway, i didnt have anyway of reaching you because your messaging is disabled but i needed to ask you a question about your character arista. i first read about her in zadiens fics and i really like her personality. i wanted to know if i could use her in a fic of mine along with the other octopussy's. coors, Sun Thief, and zadien have already agreed to let me use shahero, miyami, amber, and ruin so id really apreciate it if you said yes. lots of love, MOON

BURN. what a **! as if someone would review your story and say horrible things about it! i for one loved, loved ,loved it! I got your name from zadien. i'm reading like four of her fics right now and i luv the octopussy's so much that i tracked down all the owners and am currently reading about 6 or 7 stories involving them lol. I noticed that you haven't updated in a while and i really, really hope that this ficcy is not discontinued. Arista is an amzing character and i luv her quirky personality. keep up the good work lol. luv...moon

Cool story! I was a little skeptic at first, because i'd never really come across a good beyblade fic with OC's in it - but this one is really good! (although at points i got a little confused because of the huge amount of characters - lots of relationships to keep up with!)

I hope to keep writing!

Your an excellent writer, dying for another update, DON'T give up, this is great stuff!

I'd love you to read my fanfic Depth Perception, tell me what you think!

Heh...hilarious what you said to 'YouSuck'. Gotta say, they deserve it. I can't stand people who just come up to you and ** at you for something they chose to do. In your case, YouSuck chose to read you story nad then ** at you. I think they're just feeling jealous of how you write and they might not be able to write like you. Anyways, its really great. Kinda keeps you wanting to read more and more (especially in Kai and Amber's case).

Hope you update soon!!

Ja Ne,
Isha

P.S. Are you Indian? Noticed when you wrote that lil' note saying "Arcada/Parminder". Are you Punjabi? Just wondering...

Me again. Nyaa. ^^

Please update ASAP.

Dude this chapter was awesome, like usual xD

Can't wait too see what other cool ** these people come up with next! Lols, I love this plot, and your ideas are awesome and totally unique. Keep up the awesome work!

Ek! Ooh.. cliffhanger, despite how much they irritate me, I actually like cliffhangers. The whole 'element of suspense' thing really reels me in. Damn.. You Suck really pushed a few of the wrong buttons. Probably just a little twelve year old that thinks they have the right to say who is a good writer and who isn't. Besides, fanfiction is difficult to write because you don't get the chance to develop everything from scratch, and because of the familiar characters everyone expects certain personality traits to be consistent in them. Like Kai always being brooding, and Max always being happy, whatever. What annoys me more is the bad grammar. Your a **, they say. Nothing annoys me more than people who have such little respect for a language that they know fluently, especially if it's their mother language, that they don't know the difference between verbs and possessive articles. You're being the verb, and your being the article. I swear it's the main thing I pick out when I'm reviewing. (I have OCD so I tend to notice little errors, which by the way, you had a few of, but I'd just consider them typos)

Ooh.. Ruin and Tala. They have just got to be my fav pairing. I must seem like a real Tala fan. I have accounts elsewhere with fanfiction and I'm writing a Tala/Tyson shounen ai fic, which was requested by someone I swear. I swear it was requested! And then there's my 13 shades of grey, which is focused on Tala and Sidon. I'm going to finish it all before posting it though, I'm up to chapter 9 now, damn it's hard to write about people going insane and then becoming uninsane. lol. if shakespeare invented words than so the hell can I. and I've written a Tala/Kai somewhere, I think it's over at mediaminer, but I'm not sure. lol. But yeah, so much Tala stuff, and I don't really even like him as a character. I love OCs more than anything, and Arista just kicks arse. Shiznit? and that means? ooh.. my brother was talking to me and I was just like to him "Sorry I don't speak moron".. and the little rat turned around straight away and said to me "You'll just have to learn." Grr. I felt so witty for about a half a second and he ruined it! Bah!

We don't have pixie sticks here anymore. (Insert sad smiley here). They do in the city, but I'm on the outskirts and the little shops here don't sell pixie sticks. Not that I'd eat them these days, but I always used to. I think they got banned at the schools too because of like little kids choking on the plastic straws. They worry about pixie sticks when there's kids bringing knives and ** to school. My school is like full on psycho, and there's two local clans of indigenous kids (I'm in australia) and some of them go to my school and they're always fighting and whatever, doing drugs in the bathrooms, breaking things to hit people with, always calling us white kids racist because we say 'black' when referring to something that actually is black. My school is so psycho. I swear we need like those detecter things that they have in airports at my school. And they worry about pixie sticks being dangerous.

aw. I've never seen snow! ooh 41 minutes till the new HP book! I've seen ice, lol, I did skating for a while a few years back but we didnt have competitions, which sucked cuz we just trained our asses off for nothing.

Hmm. I like the "Amber's lips fretted into a grin." I've never seen that one before, fretted. That's going in my words to use list.
and dun dun dun... cliffhanger. How exciting, I'm all excited. What will Kai do!? Just make him push Bryan over (are they on the roof? if so then just push him off it) and let Kai ravish her. lol.. ignore me, I'm being a moron. Of course, if you were planning on that anyway, then go straight ahead.

Have fun writing this, and be happy that you make other people happy. You made me happy by updating, and I'll bet that Zadien's jumping for joy that you've updated. And it's good that you don't get all sulky when xenophobic people like You Suck flaunt their immaturity. Makes you so much more of a strong person.

Good day to you.

Hey Arcada! Love your story as always.

Side note to You_Suck or whatever...Your and idiot and by any chance are you bald. You write a story I'd like to read it sometime you filthy rat ** bastard. If you don't like someone's story why are you even bothering to read it. If I knew where you lived I would go kung foo on your **. Oh and let me spell something out for you G-O A-W-A-Y Y-O-U-R N-O-T W-A-N-T-E-D that's right not wanted. Now go play speed bumb like a good little reject. Don't let the door hit your ** on the way out ** face.

hahaha a hilarious chapter, as usual! the pixie stix bit was so funny. that's happened to me on many occassions, spilling the pixie stick sugar all over my face. and i HATE it when the powder gets all spitty and then it's get wet and it won't come out! that's the downfall of the pixie stick. and ooh la la things are heating up not only between kai and amber, but between ruin and tala as well. and when brooklyn helped arista out of her little situation with the jersey and whatnot. that happens to me quite often when i try to put on clothing. i think it hates me. it gets stuck and my arms are sticking up in the air and i can't see where i'm going to i end up running around blindly. haha arista is such a funny person. her character is really believable, you know what i mean? like her character isn't so out there that you can't believe that things like that happen to real people. anwyays! hope you update sometime in the near future. =)

Hmm...Well...that was faster than I expected.

I had actually read your story a while ago, and I was in a review-ing mood.

Whee! I love this fic again! Kai ish so cute! lol, he's so funny, and stupid, and confused, and has too much damn pride and crap to admit that he's in love...*sighs*

I'm kinda proud of myself right now because I drew this group pic of Tala, Kane, Kai and Johnny. I'm going to outline it and then colour it in and I'm so excited!

Sorry, I just had to tell someone that. I'm going to be scanning it to my friend later.

And, I read your reply to the 'YouSuck' person. I also read their review. Whoever that is was a total **. I mean, constructive criticism is good, but when you're totally dissing with nothing to back you up, that's just plain stupid.

Anyways, I read your reply to that, and I practically laughed my ** off. I might have to flame you just to listen to you rant like that. It's funny.

So, once again, I love your fic. And I hope to see it updated soon!

Oh, by the way, I just re-read that fic, the one where Arista see's a murder. And I think you should update that one fast.

And then I read the Schizophrenia one. That was kinda creepy and kinda sad but I love it all the same.

Okay, I must be ** you off now, I'll leave!
