KawaiiGameFreak:HELLO FANFICTION! I'm back and…well…something-er then ever! Yes, I know I said I was going on hiatus, but I don't want to disappoint my fans.
Not-so-almighty cowriters: Plus the fact she has nothing better to do.
KawaiiGameFreak:No comments from the peanut gallery, thank you(Omg, Mr.More reference(science teacher, don't ask)!). As you all know, this fic is the third fic in 'The Wish Series' and it will clear up some major loop holes in the past two fics. One more quick note before I start, if I make any mistakes about any celebs, TV shows or any other form of pop culture, don't blame me for two reasons, the fic is set a bit in the future and I know nothing about the world outside the province. Enjoy!(PS:The chapters are gonna get a bit longer as we go. Why? Cuz I said so!)
"…How did we get from saying 'I love you', to 'I'll see you 'round someday'?"- Great Big Sea
Prologue: The Effects of Time
MEWTWO'S POV
The saying's true, time flies when you're having fun. In that sense, it must also drag on when you're not having fun, and I am certainly not having fun. Four months, for four lonely months, the seconds dragged by like eons, so much time has passed, so many lonely days. But I'm always alone. Why should now be any different? Why do I feel so cold and alone this time and not any other? I thrive in solitude, no contact from the world for months at a time. So why do I fell like I need contact? Why now? Maybe…because of, her? Maybe it's because…I miss her. No! Shut up! She hates me! You know it! I've known this for a long time, and yet, I miss her, and, I can't help but feel this ray of hope inside me. Who are you trying to kid? She probably doesn't remember your name. She's probably forgotten all about the time we showed up. Though, it would take more then four months to forget a whole year. Maybe she wants to forget. Maybe she's thrown out everything I gave her. Maybe she sold her games and destroyed her end of the portal. I highly doubt. She seemed rather addicted. But a series of events like what she went through could make her do that. A light flickered on my computer screen. "Incoming message from 'gannondorkbasher297'" The computer's voice droned. I rolled my eyes.
"Let me guess who that could be." Link's picture appeared on screen.
"Dude, where have you been? You missed the tournament, wanna guess who won? Zelda! I was really surprised though…"
"Why are you calling me? It's 12 o'clock in the night and I'm busy…"
"…moping around in your dank, dusty cave, I know. Now what was I gonna say again…? Oh ya, now I remember! I need you to come to the mansion and before you say 'I'm not interested", trust me, you will be interested. Ok? Ok, bye!" The large screen turned off and the room near blackened. The only light came from the full moon outside. Link was always randomly calling me. It was ironic, he's the one with the social life and yet he has nothing better to do then annoy me. Oh well, might as well humor him. I've got nothing better to do.
"Can I come too?" A small voice asked. I turned around to see Pikachu at my feet, filled with blind loyalty like a lost puppy. "Maybe I know what it is."
"Do you?"
"Nope! But we can guess along the way." He was impossible to say no to. He'd never shut up until you cracked like an ice cube, he reminded me of a certain girl I used to know.
"Fine, let's go."
LAURA'S POV
"This sucks." I growled, "The concert should've started an hour ago, it's already midnight!" I don't know why my friends dragged me here; I don't even know who's performing. I guess I just needed to get away for awhile, get my mind off everything. I haven't been able to for four years, what makes tonight any different? Oh well, free beer.
"Come on Laura!" Ryan called, "The line's moving!"
"Finally!" Sakura threw her arms up in the air, "How many eons you think passed?" I chuckled inwardly. She knew nothing about how long an eon was. We were pushed into the stadium by the mob of people. "Who's playing again?"
"I forget." I muttered.
"Come on by," Ryan giggled, trying poorly to imitate my old scent, "I don't think you've smiled once since you moved up here, and that was like…three years ago!" He was right. I hated moving up to Rick's, Alberta. It wasn't about my friends, I could talk to them on MSN, it wasn't about the Salmon Festival concerts or Thomas Amusements, we could drive to Calgary for all that, I was worried about the portal. I was worried that it would only work back home and not up here. That's why I hadn't smiled for three…no, make that four years. When they left, everything went downhill. We moved, Cameron (my annoying little brother) drove my parents into the loony bin, my danm drinking habit; the list goes on and on. Ryan, Sakura and hope were the only things keeping me sane right now. Oh…hope isn't a person. He did leave a small ray of hope that he might come back, a small paper note that read:
"Dear Laura,
I'm sorry I have to leave, but I must. I know you may not understand why, but you will eventually. If you want me to come back I will, I promise. For now, I've left a memory. It's in the CD player. I know I'm not the best but I did it for you. I will always remember you, and I hope you remember me to. May our paths cross again soon. Sincerely,
Your not so secret admirer
P.S:I love you(but you already knew that)"
The only part of the note that I cared about was the line that read "If you want me to come back I will, I promise." I've wanted him to come back for four years, why hasn't he? Maybe he's forgotten all about me and that year. I highly doubt that. So many things happened. From the hysterics of the 'Turkey in the Lawnmower' incident and Sports Day, to the tragic events of the Mount Payaton bombing and the Great Parking Lot Battle, I'll never forget about the former, I want to forget about the latter. The story has been immortalized on the internet, but no one but me will ever know what really happened that year. We took our seats on the stadium floor and the concert was just about to start. "Hey Ryan, where's the bar?"
"What bar?"
"WHAT? You said there was free beer! That's the only reason I came!"
"Just kidding. The bar's up the stairs on the left, turn right at the first washroom and follow the smell of Budwiser." I got up and Sakura followed.
"I would like to go with you." I just nodded and walked to the end of the hockey rink. The lights dimmed and everyone screamed. I stopped just to try and catch a glimpse of who was playing. The music started playing and I instantly recognized the song. "Oh…snap." The lyrics weaved their way inside my head and brought out memories that I didn't want out.
Since, the moment I spotted you,
Like walkin' 'round with little wings on my shoes,
My stomach's filled with butterflies,
Oh, and it's alright
Bouncin' 'round from cloud to cloud,
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down,
If I said I didn't like it then you know I lied
I tried to hold back the memories, but it was impossible. I started to remember everything; how he took me above the clouds, played this song and danced with me. I remember thinking it was a dream and realizing a month later that it actually happened. I remember kissing him on the cheek and telling him he was I nice guy; and giving him hope of him and me being…together someday. "Psst, Laura-san, are you alright? You're crying." I snapped out of my thoughts and realized what Sakura had just said. I touched my cheek, only to find wet tears staining it. "Bad memories?" I tried to smile, and I muttered…
"Naw, good memories, just bad timing."
KawaiiGameFreak: Only the prologue and already unanswered questions. Don't worry, I'll tell you a bit more about my new friends; Ryan and Sakura, in chapter one. A bit said, I know, but it will only start sad, then romantic, then funny, then dramatic (nothing like "A Nightmare Come True?"), then romantic and then funny, funny, funny! I'm trying to give you hints with out giving spoilers (which is very hard to do). As for the quote at the start, I'll be doing that for the rest of this fic, sorta to set the mood. Ja ne!(PS:No, there's no actual place called Rick's in Alberta, just made it up)
