Sorry I took so long to update guys. I've been really busy with school and a lot of things have come up. But anyways, I want to thank everyone who reviewed especially Ut-TilL-aLl-ThE-bLoOd-SeApS-oUt, New Moon Night, shadowtailmon, .w.a.t.e.r.m.i.r.a.l. and anyone else I forgot. NOTE: in the last chapter I screwed up by saying that Hiro was gonna come back for Hilary's birthday in two months-well for my own reasons I'm gonna change that and say that he'll be coming back for Christmas. And one last thing, this chapter will be in Tyson's point of view (but the dream part is all Hilary). I thought I might change up a little and you'll get to see what's happening in Tyson life.

Disclaimer-I don't own beyblade….or any of the characters so don't sue me.

October-continued

dream

Darkness clouded her view. Nothing in this place was familiar. Her tongue was dry and rough like sand paper and the air was thick. She stood paralyzed, unable to move any inch of her body. She just stared out into the darkness. All she could hear was her slow, deep intakes of breath.

"Where am I?', she managed to say and it seemed to echo. This place seemed never ending. What if she was lost here forever? What if she'd never see anyone she loved ever again? Panic washed over her as she began to sweat. Her lower lip quivered uncontrollably and of course she began to sob. Finally she fell to her knees and cried, thinking that this was her deathbed.

Suddenly, the shadows began to disappear, slowly revealing some vibrant colors. They looked like seats, rows of seats, one after the other.

She stood up groggily as she heard a recognizable sound. Swish.Swish. She began to rack her brain-where had she heard this sound?

One word came to mind-Beyblades.

And yes, she was in a Bey stadium for sure. She found herself sitting a few feet away from the dish. Two people were battling.

She heard a forceful, deep voice call out, "C'mon, don't give up!". Could it possibly be?

"Hiro", she whispered and the figured turned around slightly but not before blue light shot in every direction of the stadium. She shielded her eyes from the light and was unable to see the person carefully but she could see that they were coming towards her. He approached her without hesitating and lent out his hand. She studied the shadowed figure and extended out her own hand apprehensively.

Right then, it was as if time froze. Who was this boy? It wasn't Hiro, this wasn't his touch. But if this wasn't him then who…

"Ahh", The boy cried out and dropped to one knee, blood gushing from his side as he held his hand there. Hilary's eyes widened and her mouth opened.

"Tyson", she gasped. Of course, the beyblading, the blue light-it had to be him. Tears brimmed in her eyes. She reached out to touch him but he slapped her arm away. "You're hurt", she urged. "Let me help". She put his arm on one shoulder but he pushed her away.

"I'm fine"he grunted. "You need to get out of here. Run".

"I can't-I can't leave you behind", Hilary began to cry for her former best friend's pain. But her crushed expression quickly changed to confused when he smirked.

"You already did…". Hilary stared at him with hurt as he slowly began to vanish.

"Tyson, no", the girl whispered.

I can't remember when Hilary and I actually became, well I guess, friends mostly because I didn't even realize that we were becoming friends again. What I do remember was when she first decided to take an interest in my grades and helping me graduate from high school….

Okay, so maybe I'm being a little selfish for wanting to just leave her here but it's not like we can do much just staring at her. Besides, I'm sure she's off in her own Hilary dream land where nothing goes wrong and ponies live there and everyone knows how to do trigonometry which only means that I would be the last person in her dreams, in fact I bet you I can guess who she's dreaming about right now.

"Tyaon!", I jump at the sound of my name. "Would you get off your high horse and help us".

"I am", I stated calmly. "I'm watching her sleep on my bed. Don't want miss princess here drooling all over my pillow"

"I think you've already done the drooling yourself" Max said triumphantly. Oh no Max, I'm so hurt. Okay, so maybe I could help instead of sitting on this chair in a backwards position but hey I carried her in here, didn't I? And she might look very light but she's not. She might as well look like the back end of a bus because that's how heavy she is.

After Kenny is done placing a cold cloth on her majesty's forehead, who by the way expects that everyone stops what they are doing just to bask in her glory, we just kinda stand around the bed except for me, I'm just sitting there like I have been for the past hour (if she were awake, she'd think we were basking in her glory).

"Soo…" , Max starts in. "Betcha I know who she's dreamin' about"

"Yeah, me too", I mumble. I look around and see all of them staring at me. At first I don't get why they are all staring at me but it slowly starts to sink in."Wah? She's not! She's not dreaming about me if that's what you dumbasses think!". I see Max and Ray give each other grins from across the room.

"Who said we were talking about you", Ray said, coolly.

"Well-you guys were all and Max was just like…oh nevermind. If you stupid jerks think that she's dreaming of me then you're way off. She's probably off dreaming about her boyfriend-"

"Who knows maybe by some off chance, she is actually dreaming about Tyson" Kenny hadn't said a word all day and this is what he chooses to say.

"Ha. Yeah right, I don't know why you guys are always linking poor Hilary with Tyson. She doesn't deserve that"

"What'd you say?", I growled, ready to pounce on Ray.

"Yeah, you're right. Hilary's, well, she's perfect or at least way out of Tyson's league".

"Oh she is not!" but yeah I guess it was true. "But it's not like she'd go out with any of you guys either, you/re forgetting that she's dating.."

"Tyson" huh? All eyes are on Hilary now.

Did she just call out my name? Is she dreaming about me?

"Well, I guess we were wrong Tyson. Looks like she does dream about you", Ray said but I wasn't fully listening, I was too busy watching Hilary now. What could she be dreaming about me for? Probably dreaming about giving me a hundred detentions like she use to or maybe she's dreaming about making me do a hundred drills or maybe…

Hilary gasped for air and shot up. It was so sudden I fell off my chair. All of the guys ran over to her and tried to calm her down cause she was have a breathing problem but I was the one lying flat on my ass.

She looked around, suddenly realizing where she was. I thought she was gonna have another panic attack but she simply looked over at me with these dead, haughting eyes. Woah they were freaky.

She rubbed her eyes and then happened to notice all the bandages wrapped around her wrist. We all waited for Hilary to say something. I stared at her wrist curiously, while still sitting on my ass by the way and she spoke.

"You couldn't control Dragoon". We all sat there in silence, I guess they were waiting for me to say something now.

"What? Whatever. I can control Dragoon just fine. I'll have you know that…", I stopped as Hilary began to cry. "W-wah? Don't---what" I didn't know what to say. I never knew how to act around girls when they cried. It's like their hormones went all crazy. Yeah Tyson Kinomiya knows what hormones are.

She wiped her tears since none of us were going to do it and regained herself as the old Hilary.

"I should-I should get going", she said weakly.

"Well, do you want Tyson to drive you home?" Ray asked and I would have objected but I was afraid she'd have another outburst.

"N-no, that's okay…"

She easily slid open the door and slipped out but turned at the last minute and we curiously waited for what she had to say.

"You know Tyson, the school offers tutoring in the library after classes. You're coming to school tomorrow, right?"

I blinked and nodded my head. And then she left. No body said anything for a few awkward minutes.

"So…you guys wanna practice?", I asked, trying to break the tension. They didn't answer but instead gave me concerned looks. "What?".

"Tyson, man, you never told us you were having trouble in school", Ray said in 'I'm so cool' voice. I shrugged it off though.

"It's just a few subjects. I'll make it up in summer school".

"No, Tyson. You should work on your studies now because you won't have time in the summer".

"What? Why not?"

"Did you forget already, dumbass. Mr. Dickson offered you an internship to go to America with him…this summer!"

"Oh yeah….", I said quietly. I guess I was screwed but there was no way in hell I could make up for all the work I missed in chemistry. The reason I passed last year was cause I copied everything off a smart kid. And there was no chance I was gonna give up this internship. "Don't worry guys, I'll figure something out".

"Tyson, there is a simple solution here"

"Oh yeah? What's that Chief?'

"Just consider Hilary's suggestion and get tutoring"

"Yeah Chief, that's a great idea", Max grinned from ear to ear and I shot a glare in his direction.

"Why don't you just help me, Kenny?", I begging.

"Because every time I try, you lose your focus and you don't understand what I'm saying"

"So what you're saying is that you're too smart for me", I said as Kenny continued to type away on his laptop. I grinded my teeth. They didn't leave me much choice. "OH FINE! I'll go to the stupid after school tutoring thing!", I pouted and crossed my arms over my chest.

"That's our Tyson", Max said happily and wrapped an arm roughly around my neck, causing me to choke. We both laughed it of, even Kenny cracked a smile. "What's wrong with you?", I grinned when I noticed that Ray was acting all grumpy.

"Hilary's pretty hot", he stated calmly.

"Yeah, she is. The way she orders you around, it's kinda hot".

"Wha? Hilary, the beast of big mouths. That monster-you think she's hot?", I couldn't believe we were having this conversation.

"Yeah-I mean, she's cute when she gets all mad", Ray smiled, devilishly and I raised an eyebrow, wonderi what he was thinking about?

"She's annoying when she's mad", I commented. "In fact, she's annoying whenever she's around".

"Oh come on, Tyson. You're telling me that you don't piss her off on purpose just because you like to see her when she's angry?", Max asked and I didn't have an answer. I didn't piss her off on purpose, anything and everything bugged that girl. She had a problem.

"Max, forget it. You know Tyson's not ever gonna be interested in any girl not unless she walks around with a bag full of food"

"Hey that's not true", I said, trying to defend myself.

"Or maybe if she was as crazy about beyblading or being lazy", Max joked.

"I can too be interested in a girl who doesn't like or do those things". They all laughed. So these were my great friends. "what are you laughing about Max. I don't see girls lining up to be your girlfriend. At least I get offers". It was my turn to laugh with everyone now while Max blushed. I patted him on the back. "I'm just joking Maxie".

"You know whose hot?Akira". We all looked over at Kenny.

"The girl in our chem.. class, with the big hair?", I smirked.

"Yup"

"Nah, she's okay but she's too overdone. She looks like she's been passed around, by every guy, way too many times", I remarked.

The rest of guys continued to go on about every hot girl they wish they had while I lay flat on my back and stared up at the ceiling. Hilary had some nerve coming here and I don't mean that in a bad way either. It was weird….talking to her and the other night when she came to the bridge….even weirder.

"Tyson , earth to Tyson", I snapped back to reality. "Did you hear what I said?'

"No what?", I asked sleepily.

"Are Hilary and Hiro still going out?'. I wasn't sleepy anymore, in fact I was starting to get a strange feeling in the pit of my stomach. It was hollow and slimy at the same time with a cold sensation. I cringed and avoided eye contact with any of them by continuing to inspect the ceiling.

"Yeah I guess so", I said emotionlessly.

"Wow…so I guess it's pretty serious huh?", Max pondered. I shut my eyes, I could sense that they were all watching me.

"Sorry Ty", Max muttered, apologetically. Max, Ray, Kenny and even Kai were my closest friends and even though most of the time I tried to hide what I really felt, they knew what was bugging me. So they knew that this was bugging me big time.

I know I said that Hilary's annoying and she needs to shut up but….still the thought of her being with Hiro…it's just…weird. All though it's funny to watch her try and hide her relationship from everyone, like today when Hiro called her and she got all nervous cause she thought we might find out her little secret. And she was so smooth when she accidentally blurted out his name. I should've told her that she could stop trying to be such an idiot, I already knew but hey, where was the fun in that?

But geez, it was getting pretty serious between them. I mean for Hiro to last this long with any girl is a miracle. She must be really good at it if he's stayed with her this long because god knows he's not with her cause of her loud mouth. I shutter at the thought of Hilary making out with Hiro or even making love…yuck.

I wonder how he's gonna tell grandpa and then dad. Man, they won't like that whole age gap thing at all. Statutory rape is not a favored issue in my household. I shifted my head to my right and noticed something in the corner.

"Hey, Hilary forgot her bag"

Hilary's POV.

I drowsily walked out of the dojo . I was sweating and everything around me was spinning. Maybe accepting that ride wouldn't have been so bad. That dream-no nightmare was so eccentric. I hope I didn't mumble stuff while I was out.

I had a pounding headache as I tried to make my way down the street . I passed by several people and got odd glances. I smiled weakly at a man and his young daughter. Finally, I reached my apartment and fished around my pocket for my keys. I pulled them out and unlocked the door. I dropped the keys on the counter and looked around at the dark apartment. The curtains were shut.

"Mom, I'm home", I said announced quietly. I played the message machine and walked down the hall to the bathroom.

"Hilary, where have you been. I've been trying to reach you all afternoon. Remember to do your part of the project, okay? See ya tomorrow". I splashed water on my face, dried it with a towel and hopped in the shower. The warm water pouring over my skin felt so relaxing. After my quick shower, I drowsily put on my pajamas and fell dead on my bed.

I can't remember how long I was out for but when I woke up it was 8:45 p.m. I stared at the ceiling for a couple of minutes, the day's events recollecting in my head. Everything I did today felt like a dream. Did any of it even happen? I couldn't remember. Finally, I got up and dragged my feet over to my chair. Sitting there for a moment I recalled that I had a project to finish.

I bent over to my right and felt around the floor for my book bag but it wasn't there. I looked down- nothing. I could've swore I left it there when I got home, although I couldn't remember doing that. I retraced my steps. but I couldn't come up with anything. Maybe I left it at school? No I remember taking it with me. Then I went over to Tyson's. I still had it when we ate. And then when we went outside but then I….oh no.

I left it at his house. I paced around my room. What the hell would I do now? How could I go back there after I embarrassed myself by fainting like that in front of them. I guess I didn't have a choice. I pulled on sweat pants and grabbed a jacket. I opened my apartment door and I was about to lock it shut when I noticed something lying on the floor.

My bag. Maybe I put it down here while I was opening the door when I came home. Or maybe Tyson….he brought it for me. Smiling, I lugged my bag back inside and started to finish my homework, grateful that I didn't have to go back to his house.

XD Wow that was long. Okay so this October chapter still isn't done! (OMGGG!) And since I took so long to update I'm going to update a fifth chapter right away. Anyways, in the next chapter Tyson's gonna go for tutoring at the library and I promise after that I will start on November. So wait for it! Remember reviews are always appreciated SOO PLZ REVIEW
