THE ESTATE OF NIBIRU-MUL PRESENTS

FIFTY SHADES OF RED

CHAPTER 1: THE FIRST DAY HOME

When we last left off, Red had decided to go home. He had found out that he really did have a father - that father being Professor Oak. Finding this out made Red realize that he should go home after all these years of being out in the open. His days at Mt. Silver were over - now was the time to turn over a new leaf.

(Red is having a flashback.)

"I think I want to come home. I think that my journey has finally ended. Tomorrow, I'm going to pack all my stuff and come home for good."

"Professor Oak...I mean Dad...I want to thank you for all that you've done. You really helped me all these years. And now it's good to know that you are part of my family."

(End of Red's flashback.)

Red was sitting in the front seat of his mother Maria's car, looking out the window. He was admiring the scenery around him. It was lovely. It had not changed much in the past five years. This pleased Red very much.

"It's wonderful," said Red. "The outside word is still as good as ever."

"I'm glad you like it," said Maria. "We will be home soon."

Red could not take his eyes off the roadside. He had not seen it in so long. It was perplexing.

Within ten minutes, Maria's car entered Pallet Town. The town was very much the same as it had always been. It still had Professor Oak's laboratory located in the center. Now it would have more meaning to Red because of the discovery that Professor Oak was his father. Red saw Leaf's house. Maria stopped the car so Red could talk to Leaf, who was outside waving.

"Hello, Leaf!" said Red.

"Hey, Red!" said Leaf. "I see you're back in Pallet Town!"

"I sure am," said Red. "Mom is driving me home."

"Blue is at the Gym," said Leaf, "and Daisy is out buying new clothes for you. We'll come over later!"

"Sure thing," said Red.

Before long, the car reached Red's house. Red was happy that his house was the same. It was a white house with a red roof, and it was surrounded by a white fence. Red could see his bedroom window, and smiled when he saw it.

"We're here," said Maria. "You can go relax in your room. I've kept it tidy for you."

"Thanks!" said Red. "I can't wait to see my room!"

Maria got out of the car. She went over to the other side of the car and opened it up. She helped Red out of the car since Red was feeling a bit tired. Maria closed the car. She walked to the front door and looked back at Red.

"I'll be unpacking your things in a moment," said Maria.

"Okay," said Red.

Maria opened the door and went inside.

Red was feeling happy that he was back at home. But it wasn't perfectly satisfying - Red was also somewhat confused. He had been away from civilization for so long, he had forgotten much of it. He did not realize how things worked, as well as the changes that took place. He hoped that that wouldn't affect him negatively.

"I'm glad to be here," said Red, "but I'm a bit uneasy about this. Maybe I'm just imagining it. But still..."

Red took a deep breath and went inside the house. Upon entering, Red looked around. The lights were turned off. There was plenty of furniture in the living room, including a TV - which Red hadn't seen in years. Red took a peek in the kitchen as well. He looked at the microwave, the stove, and the washing machine. These devices were all strange to him. He wondered what they were used for. When Red had been sheltered by the reclusive idol Angel, he only had the bare necessities.

Red went back to the front door and took off his shoes. Then he went upstairs so he could look for his old room. He remembered that his room had a red door. He opened the red door and walked inside. The room had a red rug on the floor and a bed with a red plaid blanket. Red also had a desk with a computer that he had not used in a long time. The wooden walls were decorated with pictures. There was an ebony dresser with various belongings. In one corner of the room was a red beanbag chair.

"It's still the same old room," said Red. "I see that Mom has kept it in good shape. I wonder if I could rest in my bed." Red took off his pants and his baseball cap. He then climbed under the covers.

A minute later, Maria walked in the room.

"I see you've taken a liking to your room," said Maria. "You can rest until dinner. What do you want for dinner?"

"Something simple," said Red. "I haven't been eating anything fancy."

"How about a sandwich?" asked Maria. "I bought meat last night after I went to see you. How does pepperoni sound?"

"Fine," said Red. "I'll eat it."

"Okay," said Maria. "Go rest now. It will do you good."

Maria left the room and closed the door behind her.

As Red lay in bed, he was thinking about his new life. He was not sure if he could get used to it right away. He was finding this new world to be quite strange - being at Mt. Silver prevented him from interaction. But he was just glad to get some rest - and that is what he would do.
