kalena: *whispers* disclaimer…

sara: *whispers* disclaimer…

link: *whispers* disclaimer…

keimi: *whispers* disclaimer…

mgk: I know!!!!!

all characters from every story I have ever written: DISCLAIMER!

mgk: give me a second!

acfesiew: NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mgk: fine then one of you can say it!

acfesiew: okay. Kalena say it!

kalena: fine. *bored voice* magicgalkairi doesn't own pokemon or any related characters. She only owns characters and places of her own creation. She didn't steal the plot from anybody else. She is really stupid. Her friends are weird. She can't write. You shouldn't read her stories. they are the most stupid things I have ever read. The end.

mgk: *falsely sweet voice* good! *normal voice* now what I have to say is, NEVER LET KALENA DO THE DISCLAIMER AGAIN!

kalena: *innocently* didn't you like it?

mgk: it was awful! And my friends aren't weird!

acfesiew: next time do it yourself then!

mgk: well if you would have shut up then I could have!

sara: you were taking to long.

mgk: I had just started and ya'll were bugging me!

kairi: that was me.

mgk: well I can do the disclaimer on my own, stop bugging me about it!

kairi: I think we should assign the disclaimer.

mgk: fine. kairi does disclaimer until further notice. If she doesn't do it right, she gets whacked on the head with my titanium mallet of destruction!

kairi: *sweat drops* okay I'll be good!

mgk: *swings mallet menacingly* if any of you EVER interrupt me when I'm talking ever again, I will whack you!

acfesiew: yes ma'am.

mgk: good. now, this is my 3rd posted fic and my 1st posted pokemon fic. *stares at wall intently; voice goes all faraway-like* it's also the only one I ever started that was actually any good… *shakes head like clearing her mind and looks away from the wall* sorry ppl, I do that sum times. Anyway, onto the story!

Keimi's POV

"Keimi, do you want to get something to eat?"

"No! For the last time, we don't have any money!

"Well, we could just stop by the Pokemon Center."

"I told you, it would close before we got there!"

"Well if I…"

"No!" I interrupted.

"But why.."

"Kairi! We've been over this!"

"We could at least try!"

"Fine. We'll cut through the woods that way," I said as I pointed to the right. Kairi smirked and walked off in that direction. I sighed and followed her. When we reached the center though, it was closed. Almost as soon as we stopped, before I could even say, "I told you so," a trio emerged from the woods.

"~Ash!~" the only girl said exasperatedly, "If you hadn't grabbed that fruit basket and fallen for Team Rockets trap ~again~ we wouldn't have been late!"

"Hey, you followed and if you hadn't fallen into the trap you could have rescued me and Brock yourself," retorted the shorter boy.

"Well, you could have used your Bayleef to get us out instead of staring up at the sky when they took Pikachu!"

"Well you could have used Psyduck!"

"Yeah, if we entrusted our lives to Psyduck we would ~actually~ have survived," the girl said sarcastically.

"It's not my fault that you're a lousy trainer!"

"Don't you dare say that! You know the only reason that I even have it is because I tripped over a rock!"

"Your own fault you tripped!"

"Well if I hadn't been arguing with you and Brock over who was going to keep Psyduck I wouldn't have tripped!"

"Oh, so now you're blaming me for causing you to trip!" said the boy.

"Yeah, Ash, I am!"

"Well if you had just ~taken~ the Psyduck then you wouldn't have tripped!"

"And since when has it been up to ~you~ to decide which pokemon I get to capture?"

"You ~are~ a water pokemon trainer and Psyduck ~is~ a water pokemon. Besides, I didn't want it and Brock only trains rock pokemon!"

"Oh yeah? What about Crobat and Forretress Mr. Ash-I'm-such-a-know-it-all-just-because-I-have-eight-badges-Ketchum!" The whole fight Kairi had been looking back and forth between them. I just listened.

"Well at least I ~have~ eight badges Miss Misty-I-think-I'm-so-much-better-than-everybody-else-because-I-have-sisters-who-are-gym-leaders-and-I'm-a-better-trainer-than-them-Waterflower!" (A/N: is that her last name? In a lotta fics I see it, but I'm not sure…)

"I ~am~ a better trainer than them and I'm a better trainer than you or did you forget the time when I beat you and took a higher ranking?"

"That was only because I couldn't use Pikachu, if I could have your water pokemon would've been fried!"

"I've beat you before when you ~were~ able to use Pikachu! Or don't you remember our Gym Battle?"

"Even if I was ~able~ to use Pikachu he wouldn't fight so I lost. If he ~would've~ then I would have won!"

"Would not!"

"Would too!" 

"Would not!"

"Would too!"

"Would not!"

"Would too!"

"Would not!"

"Would too!"

"Would not!"

"Would too!" (A/N: Yes I know that was a lot of "Would not; Would too" stuff, but hey, it sets the stage for….K2!)

"Would no-" the girl, Misty, started to counter, but was interrupted.

"Would you two just ~SHUT UP~ already!" shouted Kairi. The two looked up, surprised. The second boy, who had been trying to shut them up, looked relieved, then saw who had caused the commotion and before I could even blink he was holding my sister's hands and saying "Hello, my name is Brock and…" but never got to finish because Misty dragged him over by his ear to where Ash was standing. (lol, and that never gets old either!) She came back over in a flash and apologized.

"Sorry about that. My name is Misty and…"

"Yeah, we kind of figured out your names by listening to you fight," said Kairi a little sheepishly, "You're Misty, the one who grabbed my hands was Brock, and the other one is Ash."

"You were listening the whole time?" she asked, looking kind of embarrassed.

"Yeah, I'd be surprised if Nurse Joy wasn't awake, ya'll were ~loud!~"

"Ooops, sorry!"

"That's okay, I'm Kairi and this is my twin sister Keimi." When she said my name I glared at her from the shadows I had retreated to, but stepped forward.

"Oh, I didn't even see her there," said Ash.

"Well duh, she didn't ~want~ to be seen," replied Kairi. If looks could kill Kairi would have been dead on the spot.

"~What?~ There's nothing wrong with telling people our names!" I just rolled my eyes and looked away.

"Sorry 'bout her, ever since she met this girl who seemed really nice and all, but was really from this evil organization called Team Rocket and she tried to steal her pokemon she hasn't really trusted anyone."

"Well, thanks ~soooo~ much for telling them my life's story!" I yelled at her. I was just as surprised at my outburst by her; ever since L2 died I had tried to keep my feelings locked up. That was part of the reason I was so upset when Marie tried to steal my pokemon; I had really thought she was a friend and had confided in her my feelings about L2's death. (A/N: L2 is just a nickname like K2 is.) My shouting spree was interrupted by the appearance of a tired looking Nurse Joy. She yawned but was brought back to Earth with a jolt; Brock had jumped over and was holding her hands. Within seconds he was being dragged away from Nurse Joy by Misty.

"Ow, ow, not the ear, not the ear!" he shouted.

"Sorry about that," Misty apologized.

"That's quite alright. What was all the shouting about?"

"Oh, um, we were sort of arguing," Kairi said sheepishly.

"Well, since the center is open now, why don't you come on inside? We only have one room though."

"Sure," Kairi answered, along with Misty. We walked inside, or rather, they walked inside and I followed at a safe distance. When I slipped inside the door, Kairi was already at the buffet table. Surprisingly, Ash was too. Misty and Brock didn't look surprised though. Actually, Misty was shaking her head as if to say, "Why does he always do this?" just like my reaction every time I went into a restaurant with Kairi.

"The room only has four beds, I'm afraid, so one of you will have to sleep out here," Nurse Joy said.

"I'm ~not~ with them," I said, staring at Misty, Brock, Ash, and Kairi.

"Oh? But that other young girl looks just like you!"

"She may be my sister, but that doesn't mean I like her friends."

"Oh. Well then, they can have the room, and you can sleep here."

"That's fine by me." Nurse Joy walked away to prepare the room and Kairi walked up to me.

"What was that all about?"

"What?"

"What did you mean, I-may-be-her-sister-but-that-doesn't-mean-I-like-her-friends?"

"I didn't say that."

"Yeah? Then what did you say?"

"I said "~She~ may be ~my~ sister, but that doesn't mean I like her friends."

"Oh, come off it. What did you mean by saying that?"

"Nothing."

"Didn't sound like nothing to me."

"Yeah, well, I don't trust them. Which is ~nothing~ new." Kairi made a disgusted noise, but left me alone, which was my intent all along. Not that everything I said was made up, I meant every word. I just chose my words carefully. Nurse Joy came back and took Ash, Misty, Brock, and Kairi to their room, and I looked for a comfortable spot. I found a corner unoccupied by furniture and dragged a few potted plants and even a sofa to close it off. There, hidden from view, I set up my sleeping bag and took off my ice-blue jacket. I folded it up and used it as an extra pillow, like I always did. After laying down for a few minutes, I felt like it was too hot.

'Well duh, you're wearing black jeans, a black T-shirt, and even black shoes. Maybe you should take you shoes off,' said a sensible part of my brain. I ignored the thought, and rummaged through my backpack, also black, until I found the pokeball I was looking for. It had a snowflake on it, and underneath that was a tiny picture of a Swinub. I released it, and whispered a command. I didn't really wand Nurse Joy to hear, in case she tried to stop me. Sometimes adults did that.

"Swinub, powder snow, but keep it within this corner, okay?" It nodded and used the attack. Soon the leaves and branches of the plants were covered in snow, along with the floor. I hardened the snow on the floor into ice, so it wouldn't melt as fast. I also managed to turn down the air conditioning, so cold that the ice ~wouldn't~ melt. I then added several electric fans over by my sleeping bag, just in case. Everything was just right.

Kairi's POV

The temperature in the room dropped considerably. I shivered, and wondered why it was so cold all of a sudden. I quickly climbed up the ladder into the top bunk and wrapped the covers around me. Brock was already asleep across from me, and Ash was asleep directly below him. Misty, who I had been talking with before I scampered up the ladder, looked up from the bunk under mine.

"What's the matter?" she asked.

"Cold. I think Keimi got to the air conditioning controls."

"Why?"

"Because, she likes things cold. Even her pokemon are ice-types."

"Oh. Do you know why she likes things cold?"

"Nope. She's always been like that. When there was a fire in the fireplace, I would be inches from it, and she would be as far away as possible."

"So you like things hot."

"Yep. Some of my friends even called me a pyromaniac. All my pokemon are fire-types."

"Sounds like you two are complete opposites. That's like me and my sisters. All they care about is looking pretty, clothes, and boys. And I mean ~all~ they care about."

"Sound kinda shallow."

"Yeah, but they're my sisters, I still love them."

"Like Keimi. She's all dark and depressed, but that's who she is. Doesn't mean I don't love her. Like you said, she's my sis."

"Yeah." We sat in silence for a couple of minutes.

"Oh!"

"What?" asked Misty.

"Does Ash have any brothers or sisters?"

"No. Brock does though. I'm not sure how many, a lot. I think there were seven, give or take a few." I whistled softly.

"That's a ~lot~"

"Yeah, he almost couldn't come with us because he had to take care of them. But his dad showed up."

"Us?"

"Me and Ash. He stole my bike and trashed it, so I was following him, to get him to get me a new one."

"Has he ever gotten you one?"

"No, but I don't mind. They're my friends now."

"Would ya'll mind if we tagged along?"

"No, but don't you mean I?"

"Nah, Keimi'll follow. She says it's so she can undo any damage I might do and keep me in line. Not that she'll come with us, just follow at a distance."

"Well, Ash and Brock shouldn't mind."

"Thanks!" I exclaimed happily. Keimi may be my sister, but she is ~not~ much fun to travel with."

"You're welcome," Misty said, laughing. I slid down under the covers, yawning.

Magicgalkairi: done! Sorta. I still got to do ch 2… but that's ok. Did ya'll notice? No Team Rocket? Wonder why that is…maybe it's cuz I'm saving K2's secret…maybe it's cuz they seriously need new pokemon…maybe it's cuz they're in TROUBLE. I'm not sure myself… I guess I'll just have to think it over… maybe it's cuz I've been distracted by that stupid locker-demon possessing my locker… the last one's probably it. Hmmm… *stares at wall*
