Hey guys, thanks for all of the reviews, sorry you had to wait so long, I've had exams since January. But enough about me, on with the story…

Disclaimer: I don't own beyblade and I never will.

Tala's POV

I never knew until today that dying of boredom wasn't just an old saying. I'd been surrounded by the same four walls for over three and a half hours, it wouldn't have been so bad if I wasn't the only one stuck in here, that or if there was a bit more room to move around. I resided to leaning against the cleanest wall with my coat acting as a blanket. I think It's safe to say that I was freezing.

Kai had gone to ring the repairman again, his fourth time may I add and each time the repairman had said he would be here in fifteen minutes. If he were a pizza delivery guy I would so be eating my free meal right about now.

I guess the time alone did help me to assure Kai that his and Rei's relationship was in no way difficult for me to handle. I pride myself on being a good liar.

Flashback

"So about me and Rei, you're ok with it right Tal."

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"

"Well, it's just that…."

"Hmmmm?"

"You know, I mean…..."

"Hmm?"

"You're enjoying this aren't you?"

"Immensely."

"Well I'm hot, why would you be alright with it. You want me."

(Snicker)

"Why are you laughing? You don't like my body?"

"Kai, I only want you for your money but lucky for you, I just happen to like somebody else at the moment."

"Yeah and who might that be?"

"Professor Isakov."

"Ewww gross Tala! He's like ninety! That's low even for you. Almost as bad as when you had that thing for Steven Spielberg"

"I'll have you know he's eighty and a horny old bastard. I'll help keep him young and he can doctor my exam papers.

Oh, and if you knew what I knew about Spielberg, you'd want him too."

"That'd be the day, maybe I'll just go to the nursing home and find my very own toothless, un-performing sugar daddy."

(Snigger)

End flashback

I heard Kai approaching the other side of the elevator and I waited for him to tell me the latest update.

"Fifteen minutes tops."

"Arrrrg!" I couldn't last another ten minutes in here!

"Don't worry Tal, you'll be outta there in no time."

Easy for him to say. He was on the other side of the wall!

Well if I couldn't rely on the repairman then I'd have to rely on myself. I pulled myself off of the floor and dusted the bottom of my trousers off. Nervous habit. After shrugging on my coat I stared up at the ceiling. In every single film I'd seen where some poor, little buggers had gotten themselves stuck in the lift, there had always been an escape hatch hidden in the ceiling. I just had to find mine. After some inspection I had discovered the outline of a little door…. thing. It was quite the accomplishment considering that this was my first time. After running my hands over the outline a couple of times I discovered a small indent, which I deduced as being the handle.

Being me, I couldn't help letting a small cry of triumph escape my lips before I started tugging and pushing mercilessly at the handle. Huffing and puffing as I tried to get the thing to open.

"Tala, what the hell are you doing?"

Kai must have heard me making some strange noises.

"Nothing." I replied, whilst continuing with my administrations.

"Come on Tal, you can do it. Just a bit more, you're almost there." I muttered to myself as I continued wrestling with the handle.

Now it was my turn to here strange noises coming from the other side of the door. It sounded as if Kai was choking.

Oh well, Kai was a big boy. He'd be able to look after himself once I was gone. Besides there were always casualties in my line of work and escaping from this treacherous prison, errr elevator was my top priority. I mean, who else would be able to report the double-crossing repairman and the booby-trapped lift. Hee hee, I said booby. I would make sure that when I returned to the motherland. A.K.A. Kai's arms, that the double agent would be court marshalled and this evil crack-dealing elevator, shut down. Ok so maybe I'd been watching to many James bond films lately but I guy can dream can't he?

With one final tug, accompanied by a grunt from yours truly the hatch door finally gave way and I went crashing to the ground.

"Oww." I managed a small pathetic whimper before I jumped back to my feet.

The strange noise had now stopped from the other side of the doors and I began to worry if Kai had infact been choking.

"Kai?" There wasn't any reply.

"Kaaaaiiii." I let out a small whine; I knew this usually annoyed my blue haired friend. Still I didn't even get insulted, not once, but I could just about make out some heavy breathing coming through the wall.

"Kai, are you ok?" I was a bit worried now, maybe he was having an asthma attack or maybe some guy had just jumped him for being too damm sexy. It was bound to happen one day.

"Shit kai. You're dying aren't you? Oh my god, hang on, I'll phone someone." By this time I was frantically searching through my pockets for my phone. When I heard Kai's voice. Was it me or did he sound shaky?

"I'm not dying you idiot." He sounded strained? Is that the word I was looking for? Yes, he sounded strained.

I let out a breath that I didn't even know I was holding, I always did tend to over react, and Bryan always did say that I was melodramatic. I guess being stuck in the same room for so long was finally beginning to warp my already warped mind.

"That's good, because I heard you choking and then I could here heavy breathing and I thought, maybe that guy finally got you for being too sexy for your own good, I mean it was a disaster waiting to happen…."

"Excuse me?"

Oh great, I was babbling again wasn't I?

"I, err… So hey what was going on over there anyway?" What better way to avoid an uncomfortable conversation than by changing the subject? It works effectively and moves the spotlight to somebody else.

"What was going on? I should be asking you that! What the hell were you thinking, and in an elevator?

"Huh?" I was confused. "Umm Kai if you hadn't noticed, I am stuck in here, and I was desperate, I'm going crazy in here waiting for the stupid repairman."

I could here spluttering now. What the hell was wrong with him, Kai never splutters, unless I discount the time when he walked in on Rei trying on one of Mao's pleated skirts.

Rei claimed it was because he was writing a history essay on the Scots and after watching braveheart, (you know, the one where Mel Gibson wears a quilt) he wanted to put himself in their shoes.

Yeah right Rei, there were no shoes involved but nice try. That was one of the moments that I truly treasure, forever and always.

"God, can't you control you're hormones for more than a couple of hours!"

Ok now I was confused. "What about my hormones? You are talking to me aren't you? Are you and Rei making out in the hallway? Do you want me to be quiet?"

"You can't control them, I am talking to you and no me and Rei are not making out in the hallway. And to answer you're last question, yes could you please be quiet, I don't need to here anymore R rated sounds coming from you, if I wanted to do that then I'd be watching porn with Bryan right now."

"You and Bryan watch porn together?"

Hang on. Wait, before I get sidetracked what did he mean by R rated noises? Why would he think that? ….unless..

"Oh my god! You thought I was… you know… in the elevator?"

"………… You mean you weren't?"

"Nooooooooo!"

"…………"

"Oh boy, this is embarrassing."

"You said it…. Well then, what were you doing?"

"Opening the emergency hatch."

"Oh."

"MmHmm."

"Well then, lets never speak of this again."

"I couldn't agree more."

The repairman did actually turn up in the end; this was before I actually had to put my escape plan into action.

After he gave me a lecture on safety and regulation and how I had vandalised the elevator because I had wrenched the hatch open and after I had given him a speech on the value of time, Kai had offered to walk me home.

I was so happy I was beaming. I finally had some Kai time. Just as I was shutting my door and finished saying my good nights, something finally came to me.

"So Kai, what's this I hear about you and Bry watching porn together?"

I cackled as the bluenette turned bright red and bolted for the stairs.

Sorry about the long wait, I hope you liked it, please R and R
