Drew: This is hopeless! You don't update for ages and then you go ahead and start a new fic to update!
Me: I know, isn't it great?
May:...
Me: Don't own pokemon, start the story!
"A BABYSITTER?" shouted Ash, Misty, May, Drew, Paul and Dawn in unison. Their parents looked at each other uneasily: they had been afraid that they would take it like
this.
"It's just for a month, Drew..." began Drew's mother anxiously.
"So you let us go off when we're ten amongst total strangers, but you don't let us stay alone in our own houses?" Drew inquired angrily.
"That's a pokemon journey, it's traditional." Drew's father told him sternly. May struck up her arguement.
"You're just gonna leave me alone with a lunatic, a flirt, a hyperactive girl, a total jerk and-and-" she spluttered, indicating Drew, "a PEACOCK!"
"You have the whole pokemon world to compare me with and you choose peacock?" How pathetic." Drew smirked.
"A-A-A RUDE PEACOCK AS WELL!"
Drew rolled his eyes, but didn't say anything.
"I'm putting my foot down! You're going to Miss Ko-ko's and we'll relax!" Ash's mother stamped her foot.
Ash groaned.
"Not Miss Ko-ko! She's boring with a capital B which rhymes with T which stands for trouble!"
"You can't make us!" piped up Dawn.
On the train...
"They made us..." said Dawn gloomily. May changed the subject.
"What's Miss Ko-ko like then?"
"She's really old. I bet she was alive when Dialga and Palkia made Sinnoh. She thinks she can get us to bed at seven by saying 'Bedtime, children!'"
Drew groaned.
"That type? I once had a teacher like that. The class hung her up by her socks in a closet."
"Wish you could do that with Ko-ko anymore. Apparently, once somebody did do that with her, so she got rid of all the closets in her house."
May turned to Drew worriedly.
"She was alright, wasn't she? Your teacher?"
Drew looked at her incredulously.
"Who cares?"
May and Drew spent the rest of the trip arguing about the importance of teachers; Drew said that they were a waste of space while May insisted that Drew was very lucky
to have such an experienced and trained adult at all. Ash looked at the floor and tried to count how many specks of dirt there were on it; this being very difficult as he could
barely count up to twenty. Misty had let out her pokemon and was trying to refrain them from jumping out of the window and into the rain; Staryu kept hitting it's head on
the glass. Paul was...Paul was holding Dawn's hand????? And Dawn was blushing furiously. How incredibly weird.
"May-TEACHERS ARE HATED BY THE KID RACE! Cry a river, build a bridge and get over- we're here?" Drew was cut off as they pulled into the station.
Me: Um...can we just assume that they met Miss Ko-ko and went to the house? Coz I'm really bad at that type of thing. If you want to, you can fill it in in a review, but let't just move to nighttime, shall we? COZ I LIKE FUNNY SCENES! STILL NO GOOD AT THEM THOUGH!
Misty leaned on her balcony, and watched Ash on the porch below. He watched a shooting star for fifteen whole minutes before realizing it was a plane and falling back in his chair, dissapointed. She chuckled softly.
"He's down there, isn't he?" May and Dawn stood behind her, their arms folded and an annoying smirk on their faces.
"Wh-who?" Misty stammered.
"Ashy boy!"
"Stop it! Gary is such a stupid trainer!"
A purple-haired trainer walked slowly onto the porch below. Dawn squeaked and hid behind May.
"Hide me!"
May rolled her eyes.
"Pathetic."
A green-haired coordinator joined the crew on the porch. May squealed and dashed behind Dawn.
"Hide me!"
Misty giggled.
"You so like Drew!"
May blushed.
"Do not! You so like Ash!"
"What! No way! Dawn likes Paul!"
"Do not!"
The boys heard the squabbling and looked up. All the girls shrieked and jumped into Misty's bed. Dawn giggled.
"There were three in the bed and the little one said roll over...roll over..."
"Girls!" Misty snapped, and Dawn shut up. "This is not the time for a sleepover!"
Dawn, who was somewhat cheesed off by virtually everything that had happened that evening, raised her eyebrows.
"Oh, I think it is, Misty...while we're at it, let's invite the boys!" she raised her voice "Oh, bo-oys!"
May and Misty both clamped their hands over Dawn's mouth. Misty got out, and pulled two sleeping bags from the cupboard.
"Fine, you can stay the night..."
