Me: Are you ready for this guys?
Dawn: Of course I am!
Leaf: Yup, ready! Super ready! TOTALLY READY!
Me: Misty, how much sugar did you give her?
Misty: If I do the first disclaimer, then do I have to tell you?
Me: I don't think so.
Misty: Okay then. alecxtheparawhore does not own Pokemon or any of its characters. She does not own Call Me When You're Sober and Before the Worst either.
Me: Good girl. Now tell me.
Misty: But you said!
Me: I said I don't think so. For the readers, just read now.
May's POV
My band, No Regrets, was lounging around the mansion as usual. We finished our home-schooling session. Afterwards, we rehearsed in the band room.
"Don't cry to me if you loved me, you would be here with me. You want me, come find me. Make up your mind." I sang.
"Should have let you fall and lose it all so maybe you can remember yourself. Can't keep believing, we're only deceiving ourselves. And I'm sick of the lie and you're too late."
"Don't cry to me, if you loved me, you would be here with me. You want me, come find me. Make up your mind." Practice was turning out well so far.
"Couldn't take the blame, sick with shame. Must be exhausting to lose your own game. Selfishly hated, no wonder you're jaded. You can't play the victim this time and you're too late."
"Don't cry to me, if you loved me, you would be here with me. You want me, come find me. Make up your mind." Dawn and Misty were back to back now.
"You never call me when you're sober. You only want it 'cause it's over, it's over. How could I have burned paradise? How could I? You were never mine."
"Don't cry to me, if you loved me, you would be here with me. You want me, come find me. Make up your mind." Dawn ended the song with a powerful chord.
"Great job guys!" Maylene, our manager, complimented when we were done. "Now, I have some big news."
"What is it?" Leaf asked as she chewed her gum.
"You're going on a world tour with Underground!" She announced.
"WHAT?" We all screamed in unison.
All our faces had pure shock etched on them.
"When?" I asked.
"It starts on Saturday starting with the whole U.S." She said with a smile.
"Saturday is day after tomorrow Maylene." Misty said.
"Really? Well, you guys had better start packing." She said and left the room.
"I don't wanna go around the world with boys that are probably going to be horrible jerks." Misty said as we were walking up the staircase.
"Are you sure you're the only one who feels that way?" I said and she laughed.
"Maybe one of them will be nice." Dawn said with a shrug.
"Leave it to the optimist to give us a spark of hopel" I said. She glared at me.
I went into my room and packed.I brought out the clothes I'd be wearing tomorrow and hanged them behind my door.
I went back down to raid the fridge. I found a pudding cup. I sat down in the living room with the rest of the band.
"We don't even know Underground. Why should we go on a world tour with them?" Leaf asked as she put a spoon of ice cream in her mouth.
"Because Maylene said we have to. I'm pretty sure we're not gonna get out of this anymore." Misty said and leaned against our pinball machine.
I scowled and ate my pudding violently.
"What's with the fierce pudding eating?" Dawn asked me.
"Ain't it obvious sherlock?" I said.
"Maylene should have told us this last month. Last week at the very least." Misty said.
"So is everyone done packing?" Maylene asked.
"Yup." Me and Misty said.
"Why aren't you done yet?" Maylene turned to Leaf and Dawn.
"You're talking to me and Leaf." Dawn said.
"Good point." Maylene said and started texting on her Blackberry.
I kept eating my pudding ferociously.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Leaf asked me.
"I'm fine." I unconcsiously squished my pudding cup and sent pudding flying to Misty's face.
"Damn it!" She screamed and hit me with her mallet.
"Ouch." I said and rubbed my head.
"Can you help me pack up?" Dawn asked me.
"No prob." I said.
We went into her room and she began to play The Script's Before the Worst.
Its been a while since the two of us talked. About a week since the day that you walked. Knowing things would never be the same with your empty heart and mine full of pain. So explain to me how it came to this. Take it back to the night we kissed. It was Dublin city on a Friday night with vodkas and coke, I was getting insomniac.
Dawn was packing her favorite tops and I was throwing her clothes to her.
We were sitting with our backs against the world. Saying things that we thought but never heard. Oh, who would've thought it would end up like this. But everything we talked about is gone and the only chance we have of moving on was trying to take it back before it all went wrong.
"I wonder what Underground will be like." She wondered out loud.
"Jerks of course." I said and threw her pink tank top to her.
"Not all rock stars are jerks." Dawn said.
"Most of them are." I said.
Before the worst, before we met, before our hearts decided it's time to love again. Before too late, before too long. Let's try and take it back before it all went wrong.
"Maybe they're as grounded as us. We don't even have maids. Even though we want one." She said.
"We've gone through this before. We want a maid but to keep the grounding we have to have none." I told her.
"Is grounding really necessary?" She asked.
There was a time that we'd stay up all night. Best friends, yeah talking 'til the daylight. Took the joys alongside the pain with not much to lose but so much to gain. Are you hearing me? 'Cause I don't wanna miss that you would drift on memory bliss. It was Grafton street on a rainy night. I was down on one knee and you were mine for life.
"Tops are done." She said and squeezed them into her pink suitcase.
"Those are only the tops?" I said in disbelief.
"I'm Dawn!" She exclaimed.
"I'm so not helping you carry those to the airport on Saturday." I said.
We were thinking we would never be apart with your name tattooed across my heart. Oh, who would've thought it would end up like this. But everything we talked about is gone and the only chance we have of moving on was trying to take it back before it all went wrong.
I was now throwing her sundresses. Wow, she had a ton of clothes.
"Don't give me that purple one. I think I'll wear it tomorrow." She said.
"How many suitcases are you bringing again?" I asked. I was nervous to hear what her answer was.
"About 3." She said.
I sweatdropped.
Before the worst, before we met, before our hearts decided it's time to love again. Before too late, before too long. Let's try and take it back before it all went wrong.
"How are you going to carry 3 suitcases to the airport?" I asked her.
"You're right." Dawn said. I smiled.
"I need 4 to balance the weight." She said. I groaned.
If the clouds don't clear then we'll rise above it, we'll rise above it. Heavens gate is so near, come walk with me through just like we used to, just like we used to, yeah, yeah. Let's take it back before it all went wrong.
"Okay suitcases 2 and 3 are done." She said and rubbed her hands together.
"Just the shoes now right?" I said.
"Yup. Hand me the shoes, don't throw them." She said. "Last time you threw a shoe, Leaf got a mild concussion."
Before the worst, before we met, before our hearts decide it's time to love again. Before too late, before too long. Let's try to take it back before it all went wrong. Let's try and take it back before it all went wrong.
"All done!" She beamed.
"Helping you pack is actually a pretty good workout." I said. She giggled.
We went back downstairs and Misty told us that Leaf had gone into her room to get packing.
"What time is it?" I asked Maylene.
"3 PM. Why?" She said.
"Oh shit!" Misty ran up the staircase.
"What's up with her?" Dawn asked.
"You have a photoshoot at 4." She said.
Me and Dawn looked at each other and went up to get dressed.
I went into my room and put on a red halter top, white jeans, red heels and red bangles. I would have worn sneakers but I was sure Leaf and Dawn would scold me again if I did. I was wearing the signature red bandana of course.
Dawn came out of her room with her hair in two pink barrettes and she wore a flowing pink sleeveless shirt, denim shorts and pink heels.
Leaf was wearing a lime green mid-riff shirt, her designer skinny jeans, silver high heels and her hair was down.
Misty was wearing a sleeveless upper thigh baby blue dress, white leggings underneath and white flats.
"Looking good everyone! Now let's go." Maylene said and we got into the limo.
We arrived at the studio and the pics were being taken.
"Hungry anyone?" Misty asked.
"Starved." I answered.
"As usual." Leaf added.
"Johnny Rockets here we come!" Dawn said.
We were eating our burgers and drinking our milkshakes when a guy with purple hair came to our table.
"Hi Maylene!" He greeted cheerfully.
"Good evening Reggie! Is Underground here too?" She looked around.
"Right over there." Reggie pointed to a table. "These must be the girls then."
"Girls, this is Reggie, Underground's manager." Maylene introduced us.
"Do you want me to call them now Maylene?" Reggie offered.
"Sure! An introduction would be nice." Maylene said with a smile.
Reggie left to get them.
"You like him!" Dawn said in a singsong voice.
"I do not!" She exclaimed.
We all raised our eyebrows.
"S-seriously, n-no." She stuterred.
"Then why are you stuttering?" I asked as I poked her.
She rolled her eyes and ate a french fry.
Reggie walked over.
"Girls, let's go to a bigger table with the boys." He said.
We walked over to a table that seated 10 people.
Misty's POV
I sat in front of a boy with black hair underneath a red cap.
"Hello!" He greeted me.
"Hey!" I said cheerfully.
There was a ton of food on his plate.
"I'm Misty, the bassist for No Regrets." I said.
"Cool! I'm a bassist too. I'm Ash Ketchum." He said and I shook his hand. He seemed like a nice enough guy.
Leaf's POV
"Hi." A boy with dark brown hair said.
"Hi, I'm Leaf, drummer." I introduced myself.
"Gary, also a drummer. May I say that you have beautiful hair." He told me.
"Are you flirting with me?" I asked.
"Ain't it obvious?" He said.
I rolled my eyes.
Dawn's POV
"Hello!" I greeted the boy with long purple hair in front of me.
He grunted in reply.
"I'm Dawn Hikari, the lead guitarist of No Regrets." I said and extended my hand.
"Paul Shinji, also lead guitarist." He said.
"It's so nice to meet you!" I told him cheerfully.
"Do you always have to be so happy and cheerful Troublesome?" He complained.
"You just met me. How do you know that I'm always happy?" I said. I was liking him less and less.
"It's obvious Troublesome." He said and scowled.
"It's Dawn. Not Troublesome." I said.
May's POV
I was stuck with a green haired boy.
"Hey." He said.
"Hey, I'm May Maple, lead vocalist." I introduced myself.
"Drew Shu, the most amazing vocalist on planet earth." He said and shook my hand.
I began to eat again.
"Do you ever stop eating March?" He said.
I looked up at him. "My name's May."
"Whatever July." He said and sipped his soda.
This world tour was going to be absolute torture.
