## Plot

Later that day when Gingka Hagane rushes for his millionth free burger delivery, he finds a baby girl. Madoka Amano tells Benkei Hanawa, Kyoya Tategami, Kenta Yumiya and Gingka that they should look after. The kid grows rather fond of Kyoya but the latter wants nothing to do with her and he tries to ditch her but eventually is forced to take her under his wing. However, Kyoya barely has time for any laziness or Beyblading for the baby constantly keeps crying whenever he tries to sneak off. Kyoya forces Benkei to help him with babysitting.

Kyoya seeks the advice of Cole, who once took care of a baby before they met. Cole tells him to sing to the baby to rock her to sleep. At first, Kyoya and Benkei attempt feeding the baby but get the food plopped on themselves instead.

Kyoya takes the baby to the Monastery of Spinjitzu where Nya hugs and cuddles the baby and calls her "cute." Kyoya asks Lloyd Garmadon him to take the baby on, Lloyd turns down the offer but says that he will look for her parents. One night, as the baby cries, Kyoya eventually comes to cradle the baby and sing a lullaby to her.

As time goes by, Kyoya begins to enjoy caring for the kid to the point where he gives her a name "Lily". However, a week later, Lloyd arrives with Lily's real parents, Daphne and Thoren, arrive and reveal that their child is named Anna. Everyone feels happy of the family being reunited but Kyoya feels too sad to part with her and finally gives in. After the family leave, Kyoya returns to his old personality.

## Script

(The Bey Pit. The bell rings. Gingka dashes to the door)

Gingka: Burgers! Burgers! BURGERRRRS! (opens the door and snatches the burger) HAHAHA! My millionth free burger! Yum! (closes the door but quickly notices something. He opens the door again and notices a tiny infant sitting at the porch. The baby coos.) Um... Madoka...

(Cut to: Madoka Amano cuddling and playing with the baby)

Madoka: Ooooh, who's the cutest little baby? Yes, you are! Yes, you are! (more sweet-talk)

Kenta: She's... a girl?

Benkei: I don't know. Sometimes it's hard for me to feel whether it is a girl or a boy.

Kyoya: If she is a girl, she looks young for her age.

Gingka: It looks like we're gonna have to turn this into a giant responsibility, Madoka.

Madoka. Oh, yes! I've always wanted to babysit!

Kyoya: Just hope that her parents will be looking for her. I don't change diapers.

(The baby laughs and reaches out to him)

Gingka: Hate to be the bad guy, Kyoya. But I think she likes you

Kyoya: \*groans\* WHAT?! Now, listen! Babysitting is not my thing. So, either keep the baby or leave it!

Madoka: KYOYA! Stop being such a meanie and (shoves the baby into Kyoya's arms) please take care of her!

Kyoya: But... (looks at a stern Madoka) \*shrugs\* the things I have to do.... Alright kid. Let's go.

(Kyoya is at a stadium, ready to train with his Rock Leone)

Kyoya: Alright, Leone, let's dance! Let it- (the baby starts crying and Kyoya pulls the string in shock. Leone flies onto the edge of the stadium and falls on a sleep out) Now what?!

(Now, Kyoya is trying to feed the baby but it's no use)

Kyoya: Um... Here... Food... Scrum-diddly-umptious... Eat up!

(Benkei comes in)

Benkei: No, no, no, Kyoya. This is how it's done! (snatches the baby food from Kyoya's hands and to the baby) Okay, ya little pumpkin, here comes the Beyblade! (makes spinning noises while directing the spoon to the laughing baby's mouth)

Kyoya: I see. Anyways... (tries to go away from the scene but the baby wails again. Benkei is covered in baby food)

Benkei: Um... Kyoya, pal?

Kyoya; (annoyed) If I'm going to take care of this kid for who knows how long you're gonna help me.
