Please read this! The story is written for fun - I do not intend to offend anyone. If it happens, I’m really sorry, I never meant that to happen.

Disclaimer:  Nope, I don’t own Beyblade. Takao Aoki does. Neither do I own the characters from. Frauke/The Prostitute is mine though.

The Grumbling Room: Chapter 33

 

“Can’t I really make friends with somebody, without somebody getting the idea he could make us a pair?” whined Takao.

 “You’re talking about Zeo or Kain?” Kai gave his teammate glance from the side.

 “Both. And Ozuma too.”

 “Oh… I think I got paired with Kain too,” stated the dual-haired ‘blader. “And with Ozuma… and with Zeo.”

 “And with me,” chimed in Mariam. “Never mind we don’t know each other and Max seems a lot nicer.”

 “Some people would want to pair you and me,” said Yuri. “Now we haven’t met at all,” he paused. “But at least your almost as good-looking as I am.”

 “Sometimes I don’t believe we’re in the same team…” mumbled Ivan.

 “So do I, so do I,” sighed Boris.

 “Morons,” huffed their captain.

 “Almost?” Mariam growled and proceeded to look at herself in a mirror. “I’m as good-looking as you are, if not prettier.”

 “I’m not pretty. Guys can’t be pretty.”

 “Look in the mirror,” the girl answered, shoving the aforementioned object just in front of the redhead’s nose.

 “This is hopeless…” mumbled Rei.

 “I wouldn’t want to be his girlfriend…” piped up Mao. “He might start going on how he’s prettier than me…”

 “And they pair him up with Salima too!” Takao chuckled. “Is it the eyebrows and the red hair?”

 “See any other reasons?” Kiki asked.

 “No,” the blue-haired Japanese nodded.

 “Speaking of Salima, I got to be her “love” too,” snorted Kai.

 “I thought, she didn’t notice you?” mused Rei.

 “That’s because she was fawning over you,” sniggered Takao.

 Suddenly Yuri and Mariam stopped discussing vehemently over the mirror and looked at the others.

 “Hey, wouldn’t being paired up with a bit beast count as bestiality?” the blue-haired girl asked. The other ‘bladers winced at the thought.

 “And touching one of the fire bit beasts would hurt,” filled in Mariah.

 “Some people change them into humans…” said Ivan.

 “Some people let their imagination go too wild,” snorted Boris. “And they don’t even realize how bad that can be.”

 “Eh, Cotton-Muffin, I get to be your boyfriend as well.” Kai said. The lavender-haired Russians eye twitched.

 “Like I’d want that…”

 “You’re not a person I’d choose either,” the red-eyed teen said. “I’m not suicidal or a masochist.”

 “Well, I think pairing up Michael and Kyouju is completely ridiculous,” stated Rei. “I mean, Michael would completely subdue Kyouju!”

 “I heard some people pair up Mystel and that Zeo.” Mao said. “I thought they never met?”

 “It’s just another case of “They look cute together, let’s pair them up!” answered Kiki. “At least their heights match… What am I to say, when  somebody puts me together with Gao?”

 “You squashed me?” sniggered Ivan. “Goes the same for me and Sergey, and that Dunga and the squirt from Saint Shields.”

 “Can somebody tell me, why do shonen-ai/yaoi fans insist on making it so clear, who’s the seme and uke?” moaned Rei. “It ruins our characters most of the time!”

 “Especially when the “uke” is concerned,” mumbled Takao.

 “Oh, yeah!” Yuri nodded. “Never mind, how you acted, now you have to be submissive and helpless. When was I submissive or helpless?”

 “Don’t ask me…” answered Ivan. “I must have missed those precious moments.”

 Boris only shrugged, indicating he hadn’t seen the redhead acting like this as well.

 “That applies to Takao as well,” stated Kai. “He’s too stubborn to be submissive.”

 “This is unfair!” huffed Kiki. “If they can’t leave our preferences alone, can’t they at least keep us in character?”

 “The height rule doesn’t apply for non-shonen-ai series,” nodded the blue-haired Japanese.

 “I wonder, if they even noticed that Beyblade is shonen not shonen-ai…” sighed his captain.

 “Two letters more or less, who cares?” snorted Boris.

 “We do!” the others answered like a trained choir.

 “…But they don’t,” added Mariam gloomily.

 “Life is brutal…” answered Mao.

 “Say, I wonder, if somebody paired them up?” asked Rei.

 “You mean Mao and Mariam?” Takao asked. “I dunno, but it’s kinda possible…”

 “If they pair me up with Emily…” the pink-haired girl said.

 “Yeah… Fans are really strange creatures,” nodded Mariam. “They’ll pair up people who don’t know each other and probably don’t match without blinking.”

 “Some of them will try to prove the pair does match after all…” piped up Ivan.

 “These are the smarter ones.” Yuri said.

 “What about the honorifics?” Kiki piped up. “I mean, why – in some stories – everybody uses Japanese honorifics?”

 “No idea?” Ivan shrugged.

 “They hadn’t figured out yet, Russians have their own language and most of them don’t know Japanese?” snorted Boris.

 “There are a lot of people. Who shouldn’t use honorifics in Beyblade and yet they use in some fanfics,” said Kai.

 “That’s fanism,” stated Rei. “Most anime-fans use honorifics when talking with each other and so they use them also in their fiction.”

  Yet again somebody from the outside opened the door. This time it had been done calmly and maybe even in a slightly shy manner. The person who stood in the entrance was a frail black-haired girl – she was rather pale and wore a characteristic fuku – white and dark violet, combined with elbow-reaching gloves and violet boots. She also held a glaive. Behind her stood similarly clothed girl with pink hair tied in two buns and two pony-tails. Her brown eyes didn’t hold the same piercing eeriness as her companions.

 “Hotaru-chan? Shouldn’t we stop somewhere else?” the pink-haired one said. “I mean, our anime is older than theirs and has done more to making manga and anime popular outside of Japan…”

 “We get crossovered with them,” the black-haired one stated calmly.

 “Oh…” the other girl nodded and turned to the ‘bladers. “My name is Tsukino Usagi, Chibiusa for short (but I’m not short!). In one dub I was changed to Rini. I’m Sailor Chibi Moon, the only heir of Queen Serenity.”

 “And I’m Tomoe Hotaru. Sailor Saturn, Senshi of Silence and Destruction.”

 “We get crossovered with a girly show like Sailor Moon?!” Takao shrieked. “That’s not fair! Why don’t we get some manly anime?”

 “You should feel honoured to be crossovered with us. After all, Sailor Moon is the mother of the magical girls series,” huffed Chibiusa.

 “Lemme guess the pairings…” sighed Rei. “I’d probably land with Hino Rei, because we both have long black hair?”

 “Max’d end up with Minako, Ami with Kyouju, Usagi with Takao, and I with Makoto?” Kai mused. “Never mind miss Tsukino had her wuss in a tuxedo both in the anime and manga?”

 “Well, the other girls also had some guys too…” Chibiusa shrugged. “Plus, you guys are too young, anyway.”

 

 Gideon was sitting in a corner, all tied up. Next to him sat a very proud-looking Balkov with a black eye. Souichiro Hiwatari didn’t even grace them with one glance as he sipped his tea with distaste. Doctor Zeggart and Doctor K. seemed to have a staring match. Obviously the villains were bored to death.

 In cue the door swung open and flash of blue rushed towards the table, which miraculously appeared a while ago. The flash made a summersault and landed on the table. It was a young girl –maybe twelve with blue hair tied into a bun. Her eyes were blue, her hair was blue, her clothes were blue – it made you surprised her skin wasn’t blue as well.

 She looked at the Beyblade villains and started bouncing cheerfully.

 “Cere-Cere! Ves-Ves! Jun-Jun! Hurry up! Hurry up!” she yelled. The Beyblade villains stared at the girl in shock. It wasn’t long before three other girls in her age appeared. One was pink-haired and dressed in pink, the second had green hair and green clothes, while the last one was a redhead in red clothes.

 “We are the Amazon Quartet!” they yelled cheerfully… and very loudly.

 “That’s… cute…” Souichiro Hiwatari said massaging his ears.

 “We get crossovered with a show with such fossilized villains?!” cried Cere-Cere.

 “They look like bores!” added Jun-Jun in a similar voice.

 “And like poopie-heads!” whined Palla-Palla.

 “Er… I believe, I feel insulted?” Doctor Zeggart managed to say.

 “Well, of course you are!” chipped the blue-haired girl. “What I said was verrry insulting!”

 “Sometimes, even I find her disturbing…” muttered Cere-Cere.

 “We’re with you sister,” chorused Ves-Ves and Jun-Jun.

 “I hope nobody forced us to plot with those children…” sighed Doctor Zeggart.

 “And why would we plot with you? We’re much more powerful!” answered the pink-haired girl haughtily.

 “Pfft! You children would only play!” snorted Balkov disdainfully.

 “But we’d play, while successfully taking over the world, unlike you!” huffed Ves-Ves.

 “I did not plan on taking over the world!” growled Doctor Zeggart.

 “But I did!” happily piped up Doctor K. and gave her gun a tender kiss.

 “Hey! She’s more disturbing than Palla-Palla!” squealed Jun-Jun while pointing at the female scientist.

 

A/N

 No Frauke for now, people. She’ll wake up some day, but not now.

As for the names of the Amazon Quartet… I know it could have been Para-Para, Sere-Sere, Bes-Bes/Besu-Besu/Vesu-Vesu, but I have one reason to spell it like I did – the Sailor Moon manga. I assume you people don’t want spoilers so I won’t say anything more. XP
