By the evening of the next day, the Bladebreakers regained full control of their blades. Mister Dickenson had come by and was amazed at the new power of the tops. That made the team incredibly proud of course.

A few hours later they were all sitting in their bedroom (excluding Kenny and Hilary, of course) and talking for a while before going to sleep. Even Kai made a few comments. Which, of course, Miwako was extremely happy about. Suddenly Tyson raised his voice and turned to the two friends. "You've been with us for a while now. Don't you have to go home soon?" Sayo stared at Miwako. Both of them had hardly or not at all thought about reality for the past few days. No wonder. For once, Miwako was quicker to answer than her friend and said: "We called home yesterday morning and said that we had made some really nice friends here and asked if we could stay.We can stay as long as we want. "Sayo stared at her friend for a millisecond and then nodded affirmatively." Okay, "said Tyson." Then I hereby declare you are members of the Bladebreakers. "" But we don't even have blades. ", said Sayo, but Tyson replied:" It doesn't matter. Then you are now something like a trainer or manager or something. You just belong to it now. "The girls blushed with pride and couldn't stop grinning sheepishly. A few minutes later the lights were turned off and they went to sleep.

In the morning Sayo was the first to wake up and looked around sleepily. She found that she was by no means the first. Ray's bed was empty. She got up, got dressed, and combed her hair. It was weird doing that as an anime character, but she was getting used to it. Then she went out into the garden. Ray practiced there with his driger."Tomorrow," she called over to him, ignoring the butterflies in her stomach. He turned and smiled. "Morning! You slept well?", He greeted back and the butterflies in her stomach had meanwhile become jet jets. "Actually quite good. But I would probably have slept longer if Tyson had snored someone else miles away," she replied. "It was the same for me. But at some point you will get used to it." "Then why are you awake if Tyson doesn't bother you?", Sayo asked and sat down with him on the floor. "Well, I just couldn't sleep like that and I thought, before I roll around, I'd better practice a little more with Driger." Sayo thought for a moment what to say, but somehow the words came out on their own bubbled in her mouth. "Is that really difficult?"She asked, thinking how she got around to asking such a stupid question. Before, when she'd never thought she'd ever really face Ray, she'd come up with all kinds of things to talk to him about And now she asked him if Beybladen was heavy. She could have slapped herself. But his voice pulled her out of her thoughts. "Once you control a blade, it's very easy. Have you never tried it? "Sayo shook her head. Then she remembered that she had tried her little brother's Beyblade with Miwako a long time ago, but that didn't count, did it? She decided to tell him, even if she didn't know why. "My little brother has a beyblade. I tried it with it once, but it didn't really work. "" Well then, come up. I'll show you and then you can try it.", he said suddenly, took her hand and pulled it up. Sayo felt that she was getting increasingly nervous. She couldn't. And it wasn't necessarily her dream to make a fool of herself in front of Ray. But before they protest could, this already started. "Let it rip! ", he yelled and made a few easy moves with Driger to show Sayo how it was done. After a few minutes he collected his blade again, put it back on the starter and said:" So, now you try it. " Sayo took the blade and the starter with a slightly trembling hand. She didn't want to back down either. After all, Ray had embarrassed himself in front of her yesterday, now it was her turn. She went into the starting position and then started the blade. It was strange, shouting instructions to a blade. On the first try, Ray advised her to try a left turn. She tried. At the same time, a bunch of short series of snippets piling up in her mind saying something about focus and control over a blade.She concentrated. Nothing happened. On the contrary. Driger only raced at full speed in the direction of the wall that Dragoon had already hit. But then, just in front of it, Driger suddenly turned left and came back to them. Sayo stared at the top. "Wow" Ray was impressed too. "And you've really never played? That seems pretty unlikely. After all, you've just handled the Magnacore better than we all did on the first try. Shall we try a few other things?" "Okay!" Sayo's panic of doing something wrong was blown away and they trained for the next half hour. The girl wasn't bad at all and at the end of the "training" she sat contentedly on the grass. Without realizing it, she played with her necklace, on which the amulet with the photos was still hanging. Ray sat down next to her. For a while they did not speak and listened to the birds chirping.But then Ray suddenly said: “What is actually in the trailer that you wear all the time?” Sayo's intestines felt as if someone had just poured 10 kilos of ice into it. She stared at the boy and didn't know what to say. "Um ... well ... well ..." she pressed. It was also a stupid situation. She could hardly say: "There's a photo of you in there, that's why I never take it off. Because I really like you." On the other hand, what else should she say? While she was still looking for a way out, Ray said: "I saw that Miwako wears something like that. You can put photos in there, right?" Sayo could have just said no, but she didn't want to lie to him, unless it was absolutely would be necessary. Was that it? Her aunt and the phone call at home had been an absolute white lie. Should she start lying to you about a chain?No, she thought resolutely, but still didn't know how to explain it. Finally she just took the chain off and handed it to him. First he looked at her questioningly, then he opened the trailer. For a moment he stared at the photo of himself that was facing him. "Miwako has a picture of Kai in her.", Sayo said and smiled sheepishly. "But please forget that I just told you that." He was still looking at her. Very slowly he turned red. At some point, it could only have been two seconds, but it seemed like an eternity to Sayo, he handed the necklace back to her. Now he knew what was going on. The girl, too, was red as a tomato, but she didn't notice it herself. They just sat in the grass and stared at each other. Sayo looked really deep into the brown eyes for the first time. Without actually registering it, let alone doing anything about it, their heads came closer ... But then Tyson came out of the house and shouted: "Breakfast is ready" He was too stupid to understand what was going on ran and disappeared back into the house.But Ray and Sayo had of course understood what had happened to them and now grinned at each other in embarrassment. Neither of them had to say anything. They got along that way too. Finally Ray got up and offered Sayo his hand to help her get up. Still grinning, she grabbed it and let herself be pulled up. Then they went into the house to have breakfast with the others. Sayo was very happy and didn't notice that Ray was still holding her hand. Not that she minded * gg *.
