To Keep A Promise

Chapter 4

"Meeting you was not the first day of the rest of my life; it was the first day of the Best of my life." Steve Maraboli

I can't believe I'm actually doing this. Zac some how convinced me into being a special guest at his Beyblade party along with my brother, who I really didn't want to be around at the moment. He said we would take a boat across the harbor to the party. He said it was for 'dramatic effect', but I can't see why we can't just walk in like regular people. We also had to come at the end of the party, which I also didn't understand. But still, here I am, on a boat crossing the harbor. 

Lui's attitude hasn't changed one bit, and it was getting on my nerves. "I still don't get why you won't come to the team battles." I say. "You really wanna do this now?" He asks. "Well at least now your not 'busy'." I say, putting quotation marks around the excuse he used to get out of the conversation yesterday. He rolls his eyes and looks back out towards the bay. "I'm serious Lui, you're so different now. I can hardly recognize you." I say. He glances at me over his shoulder, he looked like he was about to say something before turning back around. What is with him?

I sighed and put my hands on the rail, watching the waves crash against the boat. I could see the party going on as we got closer. This was going to be interesting.

|Shu's p.o.v.| 

I walked into Zac's party with my team, plus Toko and Nika. 

"So cool!"

"Yeah!"

Honcho and Valt shouted as they looked at all the food venues, stars in their eyes. "Woah, look at all of this!" Toko yells. "Yeah, I don't even know where to start." Nika says, both of them looking around in awe as well. "How 'bout the exit? This is pretty lame." Diago says, clearly not enjoying himself. I look to my right to see Honcho and Valt were gone. I looked around and finally spotted them getting some pasta at an Italian stand. "Oh yeah! Best spaghetti sauce ever!" Valt shouts. "I think I'm in love." Honcho mumbles. Both of there mouths full as they spoke. 

I smile at their antics while Toko and Nika laugh. "If he thinks he can win me over with free food he's got another thing coming." Wakiya states smugly, arms crossed. I glance at him, but then turn my head when I here the familiar laugh of Xander Shakadera. "I thought I might run into you all here." He says, all of us having to look up to see him. "Hope you're going to hang out for a bit. Sounds like Zac has big plans for us later." He says. "Yeah, we heard." I say. I wasn't particularly excited to see what Zac had planned. We've all learned he can be a bit unpredictable.

"Guys you have to come try some of this!" Suddenly Valt grabbed my hand and  started pulling me towards the food before I could protest. "Wait, Valt!" I shout, trying to get him to let go. He refused to until he had gotten me there. 

Almosted everyone ended up getting something to eat. I got a hotdog, Honcho and Valt each got a burger and a taco, Diago just got a drink, Toko got some of the pasta from earlier and Nika just wanted a cookie. Wakiya still refused to eat anything, even with Toko shoving the food towards him.

We spent a lot of time just wondering around, but the idea of Zac's surprise still lingered in the back of my head. What did he have planned? 

Are group ended up stopping at some bey stadiums. Diago and Valt battled, and it looked like Diago was starting to have a bit of fun. I stood next to Wakiya, who was finally trying so  the food. He seemed to be enjoying it. I battled the others a few times as well.

"Ooo, let's try this!" Valt shouts, pulling us over to a life size stadium. "So cool!" Honcho shouts. I looked and saw inside were to guys dressed as beyblades battling each other. That's where I drew to line. I walked off with Diago and Wakiya to watch the concert. "Sometimes I worry about him." Daigo says, referring to Valt. "Don't worry about it, it's just his nature. He's always been this way." I say. "I can't imagine a life where you had to deal with that 24/7." Wakiya says. "You get used to it." I say with a shrug. It was really weird when I first meet Valt. He made friends were ever he went and was always so out going. I wasn't like that then, and I'm still not now. The only real reason I joined the team was for him. I've got to admit, he's got a big influence on me.
