DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT own Beyblade or its characters in any shape or form, BUT I DO own my OCs and I own THESE one shots.

Anyway enjoy!

April

“That was a good film, not really my sort of thing. And it was a little far fetched and out of place in the middle, but still I enjoyed it” a dark blue haired teen said as she and her boyfriend walked down the high street from the cinema.

The blonde haired teen looked at her and smiled. “I’m glad you liked it Mariam” he said as he wrapped an arm around her waist as they walked.

Mariam still had half a bag of popcorn and she was sharing it with him, or at least she was supposed to be. “Am I going to get any of that popcorn Mariam?” he asked teasingly.

“Hm? Oh sorry Maxi, here help yourself” Mariam said as she moved the bag closer to him. Max took a handful and placed all of it in his mouth at once, though he had problems chewing as he had put too much in his mouth. Mariam couldn’t help but laugh at him.

Max swallowed and looked at her with a questioning look. “I see you’ve picked up one of Tyson’s habits, eating too much at once” she said with a small smile.

Max smiled and blushed slightly. “Sorry, it’s just with the guys you have to grab what you want before it’s all gone and with Tyson around it all goes kind of quickly” he said as he rubbed the back of his neck with his other hand and laughed nervously.

“Don’t worry about it Maxi, after seeing Dunga eat I’m amazed I still manage to have an appetite” Mariam said as she took another handful of popcorn and ate it piece by piece. She then looked in the bag and handed it to Max. “There’s only a little left, you have it Max” she said.

Max shook his head. “No you have it, if you want. I’m fine honest” he said. Mariam frowned at him slightly and then looked in the bag again. “There’s eight pieces left, how about you have four and I have four?” she asked, as she could see that he was fighting with being polite and wanting some.

“Only if you’re ok with that Mariam” Max said, though he was staring at the popcorn more than the dark blue haired teen. Mariam rolled her eyes and separated the eight pieces into two groups of four and then placed Max’s into his hand. “Knock yourself out” she said with a smile.

Max smiled and ate his in one go, while Mariam ate hers piece by piece. She then threw the rubbish in a bin as they passed on whilst carrying on down the street. Max tightened his grip around her waist and sighed in content. Mariam leant her head on his chest and smiled.

Suddenly it drew dark as clouds covered the sky and small droplets of rain fell. At first the rain was just a light wave, but then it began to fall harder. Max and Mariam ran down the street and took shelter under a shop doorway.

“It looks like it’s not going to stop anytime soon, we could be stuck here for a while” Max said and looked out and watched the raindrops bounce off of the pavement.

Mariam laughed harshly. “And I didn’t bring a jacket or umbrella as it was sunny this morning” she moaned, she then looked up at Max. “How much further is it to your apartment, Maxi?” she asked.

Max turned back and looked at her. “About another 20 minutes away. I would say we could run it, but it depends if you want to get wet or not” he said. Mariam thought about it for a few minutes. “I’d rather not. Is there anyone who could come get us?” Mariam asked

“I could ring Tyson’s and see if one of the guys could come and get us” Max said as he pulled his mobile out of his pocket and searched for the number.

“Ok Maxi” Mariam said with a small smile. Max smiled back and then waited for Tyson or one of the others to pick up the phone, though he kind of hoped Kai didn’t pick up as he would just tell them to walk.

AT TYSON’S DOJO

“Come on Dragoon!” a navy haired teen shouted as he watched his white blade circle the dish and then slam into the dark blue blade. “Ha, take that Kai. Looks like Dranzer isn’t so tough after all” he said in a cocky tone.

The dual bluenette narrowed his eyes slightly. “Tyson will never learn, will he Ray?” a brunette teen asked as she sighed and watched as Tyson began to act and say more cocky things and Kai became more ticked off and looked like he was about to burst.

“No he won’t Hilary” Ray said as he shook his head at the younger teen’s behaviour. “Yeah, but Ray it’s Tyson’s naïve behaviour that make things more interesting and entertaining” a dual brunette said as she wondered how long her brother could last keeping his anger in.

Ray laughed slightly. “Yeah, I guess you’re right Tari” he said. Hilary smiled and all three teens turned back to watch the match. And as if on queue Kai’s blade powered up.

“Dranzer, now!” Kai stated. His blade powered up and slammed back against the white blade. Tyson panicked and urged his blade to push back.

:ring ring: went the phone inside the dojo, but as no one was inside no one heard it. “Hey, do you guys hear that?” Hilary asked as she heard the slight ring of the phone.

Tari and Ray listened carefully. “Yaaaa!” came a distant shout. “Hilary, that’s just Tyson’s Grandpa practicing his Marcel arts in the front” Tari replied. Hilary was about to say something else but they were interrupted.

“No, Dragoon!” Tyson shouted as his blade came flying out of the dish. Kai smirked slightly. “I guess you weren’t as good as you thought you were Tyson” he stated. Tyson was about to reply but Ray spoke up.

“Come on Tari, our turn. Driger’s going to run circles around Spiked Tiger” Ray said sounding slightly cocky. Tari narrowed her eyes and pulled her blade out of her pocket. “We’ll see about that Ray” she said as she and Ray swapped places with Kai and Tyson.

Back inside the phone was still ringing. ‘Hi you’ve reached the Granger residence, this is World Champion Tyson Granger speaking and I’m afraid I’m not here at the moment. I’m probably beating some kid so I can defend my title. So leave a message after the beep and I’ll get back to ya…. BEEP’

BACK IN TOWN

Max sighed and hung up. “No luck?” Mariam asked as she looked up at Max. She had sat down on the floor while he was on the phone, as it was hurting her legs to stand.

“No, I got Tyson’s voice mail. They must be out or in the middle of a training match, or something” Max said as he shrugged his shoulders and sat down opposite the dark blue haired teen.

Mariam nodded. “Don’t worry about it Maxi” she said. Max leant his head back against the stone wall and watched the rain fall down onto the ground. It was a little heavier than before he rang Tyson’s.

“It’s getting heavier. Want to make a run for it?” Max asked as he looked back at Mariam. She was looking out at the rain as well, but she turned and looked into Max’s ocean blue eyes.

“I could try Joseph and see if him, Dunga or Ozuma could come and pick us up” Mariam offered. Max looked at her properly. “Are you sure they won’t mind?” Max asked.

Mariam shook her head as she pulled her mobile out of her pocket. “They’re my team, they shouldn’t mind doing this. But if they do I will sort them out later” she said as she dialled her brother’s number. Max smiled at his girlfriend, he liked her attitude.

AT THE SAINT SHEILDS BASE

All was quiet in the base, as the three teenage boys were still asleep. Joseph was tangled up in his covers and snoring slightly, not that he could be heard as Dunga’s snoring filled the base.

:ring ring: went Joseph’s mobile. Joseph moaned as he heard his phone ring, and just turned over and pulled his pillow over his head, hoping to drown out the noise of his ringtone.

But the ringing continued and grew louder, it echoed throughout the base. And the constant ringing woke up one of the other teens and they weren’t very happy about it.

“Joseph answer that phone or else!” Ozuma shouted as he tried to drown the sound of the ringing phone, by piling his pillow over his head and bringing his bed covers over the top.

The green haired teen groaned again as his captain’s shout woke him up slightly. He sat up, grabbed hold of his phone and as he was still in a sleepy state he threw it across the room so it smashed against the wall and broke into pieces.

Now that peace had been restored Joseph fell back down onto his bed and buried himself under the cover again and fell asleep instantly.

BACK IN TOWN

Mariam growled under her breath and put her phone back in her pocket. And then crossed her arms and sighed. “No luck?” Max asked as he looked over at the dark blue haired teen.

“No, no answer, I didn’t even get to his voicemail. The connection just got cut off” Mariam said as she rested her head on her arms.

It then became darker and it rained harder, the drops were bouncing off the pavement and a small stream of water was forming on the road.

Max looked at Mariam. “Want to make a run for it? As we could be stuck here for a while” he asked. Mariam looked up at the sky and saw how hard the rain was falling, but she was getting stiff sitting in her position.

“Sure, why not. As you said your flat is only 20 minutes away, we can make that, right” she said with a smile on her face as she uncrossed her arms. Max looked at her and nodded. He then stood up and helped Mariam to her feet.

“Do you want my jumper to help keep you dry?” Max offered as he went to untie the orange jumper that was tied around his waist. Mariam shook her head. “No, Maxi I’ll be ok. So, shall we get going?” she said as she grabbed hold of his hand.

Max blushed slightly, but nodded. Once they were prepared they both ran out from under the shop doorway and ran down the street. Max was at the front and he held Mariam’s hand as she ran behind him, she was using her other arm to shield her eyes from the rain so she could see where she was going.

As they ran down the street through puddles the water splashed against them and as cars drove down the road they were sprayed with water.

After dodging the spray from another car Mariam slipped on an uneven stone in the pavement and slipped. She fell onto her bottom and grazed her elbow, she hissed in pain.

“Mariam, are you ok?” Max asked as he knelt down next to her and looked at her grazed elbow. “Yeah Maxi, I’m fine I just slipped and fell no biggie” she said as she tried to get up, but her back clicked and the back of her legs ached and she sat down again in pain,

“No biggie, my blade. You’re in pain Mariam. Let me help you” Max said as he wrapped one arm around Mariam’s waist and then lifted her up supporting her legs with his other arm. He held her close to his chest to make sure she wouldn’t fall.

Mariam blushed slightly and then looked up at Max. “You don’t have to carry me Maxi, I can walk just fine” she said. But Max shook his head and began walking down the street at a steady pace to ensure he wouldn’t drop the girl he loved with all his heart.

Mariam smiled and leant her head against Max’s chest and closed her eyes as she was carried. Though she didn’t drift off to sleep as every now and again a drop of rain landed on her face.

LATER IN MAX’S APARTMENT

Max pulled the towel off of his head after drying his hair with it. After arriving back at his apartment both of them had had a shower and got changed into some dry clothes.

Mariam was lying on the sofa she had her sleeve rolled up as her grazed elbow had started to bleed a bit. Max threw the towel into the washing basket and then grabbed the first aid kit and sat on the sofa next to her.

He opened the box and pulled out a plaster and after cleaning the wound he placed the plaster over the cut. Mariam hissed slightly as Max put pressure on the cut to secure the plaster in place.

“There all done” Max said with a smile as he sat up. Mariam looked up at him and smiled as well. “Thank you Maxi, for everything. Sorry for being a pain” she said as she went to sit up.

But Max pushed her back down gently. “It’s no problem Mariam. I would do anything for you, as I love you” Max said. Mariam was a little shocked at first, but then smiled and sat up and kissed Max softly on the lips.

Max’s eyes widened slightly and then he pushed back and made the kiss deeper. He then wrapped his arms around Mariam’s waist and ran his fingers through her hair with his other hand. Mariam groaned in delight and wrapped her arms around Max’s neck and pulled him closer.

The kiss was reluctantly broken off when the need for air became too much. Mariam broke it off and panted as she looked up into the ocean blue eyes of her boyfriend.

Max shifted over a bit so he was lying on the sofa and pulled Mariam closer so she was leaning on his chest. She drew patterns on Max’s t-shirt as she enjoyed being this close to him. Max smiled as it tickled him slightly.

The rain fell harder and the sound of it hitting the window echoed throughout the apartment. Both teens found it kind of soothing and relaxing.

Mariam snuggled closer to the blonde teen to make herself comfortable. “Maxi?” she asked. Max looked down and stared into her mesmerising emerald eyes. “Yeah Mariam?” he asked.

“Next time we go out do you think we can drive?” she asked. Max smirked and ran a hand through her hair. “Sure thing Mariam” he said with a smile.

Mariam smiled as well and closed her eyes, this time she drifted off to sleep in the arms of the guy she loved. Max looked down and smiled more, before resting his head back against the sofa cushions and looking up at the ceiling and falling asleep as well.
