10 years after Prologue
In the Orange Islands Green Family household
Misty's POV
Hello. My name is Misteria Waterflower. Call me Misty. I live in the Orange Islands. I live with my best friends Dawn, May, Leaf and Leaf's parents.
Dawn, May and I weren't wanted or had no families so Mr. and Mrs. Green and Leaf took us in. The four of us have been living together as BFFs for ten years.
Our friendship is the strongest thing ever! Nothing could pull us apart.
I swam laps in our pool thinking about when we all met. Yes, we had a pool. Each of us got to choose one thing for the house to have. I chose the pool. Dawn chose a separate room for her to design fashion. May chose a room for all her instruments and Leaf chose a designated study room.
"Hey Misty!" Dawn called running outside. "Can I come do a swim workout with you?"
"Sure! I'd love to lead one! Do you want to ask May and Leaf if they want to as well?" I replied smiling boldly.
"Sure! BRB!" Dawn raced off to find the other girls.
Dawn was the most girlish of all of us, May the most musical, Leaf the smartest and me, the most athletic. Dawn helped us look good and have a good attitude, May helped us sing, dance and play music, Leaf helped us with grades and I kept us all in shape.
After waiting ten minutes swimming more laps, Dawn, Leaf and May raced out of the house. Dawn was wearing a pink frilly bikini, Leaf was in a green bikini and May was in a red and white polka-dotted bikini.
"You swim in that?!" Dawn shrieked in horror seeing my blue one piece with wave patterns on it.
"It's practical, and I don't have to worry about my top falling down." I replied. All three girls grabbed their tops to make sure they didn't fall. I was so ready to make the girls work! "Alright! First one to catch and actually hold onto me sits out laps. And GO!"
Pushing off of the wall I dove away from them into the water. May jumped in after me, Leaf executed a dive and Dawn climbed down the ladder.
While I was watching them get into the water Leaf swam up to me and grabbed my legs. Using my well-built arms I easily pushed her away and swam to the other end of the pool.
We continued working out for a bit until we were all exhausted. Then Leaf proposed we go work on our English Assignment that we were assigned over the summer. School was starting again in 4 days and we still hadn't done it.
In the study room
Leaf's POV
"Alright girls the assignment says that each student must pick a Shakespeare play and write a one page report." I said confidently reading from the assignment rubric.
All the girls groaned. They each swiveled around in their chairs to their desks and opened and booted up their laptops. We each had a corner in the study room. In our corner we had a desk, a laptop, a swivel chair and a beanbag chair for reading. We also shared a bookcase.
Misty's desk was a modern glass desk with a small fish bowl on it. Her laptop was teal and covered in water Pokemon stickers. Her chair was dark blue and was covered in light blue marker designs like waves. Her beanbag was light blue with white seagulls on it. Her area screamed ocean lover, totally Misty.
Dawn's desk was an old fashioned white desk covered in artists' sketchbooks full of her clothing designs. Her laptop was hot pink and had Top Coordinator stickers all over it. Her chair was light pink with dark pink marker designs like make-up. Her beanbag was white with pinks dresses all over in (symbols). It was almost to girlie to look at, definitely Dawn.
May's desk was black wood in a simple design, looking modern and old fashioned. She had a vose of roses on her desk. Her laptop was red with instrument stickers all over it. Her chair was a simple black chair with red music notes all over it. Her beanbag was red with roses and musical instruments on it. It was very simple, yet sheik. It was totally May's.
My desk was a bamboo and pine desk. It was decorated with different leaf arrangements and had books scattered all over it. My laptop was white. I had taken pastels and crayons, and drew leaves on it. My chair was green with a darker green cushion on it. I had preserved leaves and glued a few on the back of my chair. My beanbag was white and had pasteled and fabric painted leaves on it. I was proud of the way I had designed my space.
On the subject of our project, Misty chose Hamlet, Dawn chose Romeo and Juliet, May chose Macbeth and I chose Julius Caesar. I open the internet and went to an official Julius Caesar website.
I was surprised. I found a super corny joke on the site and cracked up. Misty came running because she loves comedy and Dawn ad May walked over to see what I was laughing at.
"'I bring you this salad Caesar! It has creamy dressing. What shall thou name it?' Asked Julius Caesar's person chef.
'I shall name this salad with creamy dressing, coleslaw!' Julius Caesar replied." Misty read the joke and soon we were all laughing and smiling.
We soon got back on task and finished our reports. Misty's was ¾ of a page but packed full of information. May's was 1 full page of ¾ drabbling and ¼ information. Mine was 1 full page of ¾ information and ¼ drabbling. Dawn's was ½ a page and mostly all drabbling.
May, Misty and I sighed and seated Dawn back down. We helped her rewrite her essay until it passed the rubric. Then we exchanged papers and edited each others' work. Once this was all said and done we were all sick of schoolwork. Even though I like school I was too.
We all flopped into our beanbags and groaned.
"I can't believe school starts in 4 days!" Misty said disbelievingly.
"I hope the music program is better this year…" May sighed.
"I hope that the study groups aren't decided by teachers." I added.
"I hope there are cute guys!" Dawn squealed. We all facepalmed. Typical Dawn.
"I hope to make the school swimming and track teams." Misty said dreamily.
"I want the lead in the play…" May said going into lala-land.
"I want a boyfriend!" Dawn piped and we facepalmed again.
"I want to find him…" I whispered. I turned my bracelet around my wrist. My fingers traced each plastic leaf, metal loop, and star.
I still remembered back in Kanto when Gary gave this to me. He'll have changed, but I hope not too much. I wonder if I'll find him this year. Who am I kidding? I haven't seen him for 10 years. He probably doesn't even remember me.
"Leaf you in there?" Dawn said waving a hand in front of my face.
"Y-yeah." I stopped twisting my bracelet and looked up with a clearly fake smile on my face. They bought it though. "What now?"
"We should practice our song for the opening school show!" May chirped.
We all got up and followed May to the music room.
In the music room
May's POV
Leaf walked up to our mini stage and climbed on. She set her electric keyboard in place and started warming up her fingers.
Dawn walked to the far wall and grabbed her hot pink base guitar. She climbed up on the stage and began to make sure she was on tune.
Misty grabbed her drumsticks and walked to the stage, climbed up and sat behind her wave patterned drum kit. She started playing some basic rhythms.
I grabbed my black and red acoustic guitar and jumped onto the stage. I grabbed my head mic. and clipped it to my ear. Misty, Leaf and Dawn put on theirs too.
Leaf grabbed a remote and turned on the speakers.
We all came in in harmony. We preformed our song, smiling and singing our feelings. It was totally the perfect back to school song. It was written by yours truly.
When we got to the second verse we thought of our other redheaded friend Abi. Her real name is Abigail but she hates it. That got us thinking about her football boyfriend Jayden.
We smiled and finished the song. I had written it a couple weeks ago before Dawn turned 15. She had been so thrilled when we sang it to her on her birthday. She insisted we send an email to the principal of OI Honour Academy, our school.
The principal responded quickly saying he would be honoured to have 4 returning students play a song. WE were all extremely pleased that he thought so highly of his returning student and more importantly, us.
After we finished our song, we packed up our instruments. Leaf, Misty and Dawn did anyway. We sat along the edge of stage, while I was strumming soft chords.
"Is that a new song May?" Leaf asked looking curiously at me.
"Maybe, I still need some lyric inspiration." I replied still strumming.
"It sounds so pretty!" Dawn said sweetly, she started humming along.
Misty, who was still holding her drumsticks, started drumming a beat along the edge of the stage.
Struck with sudden inspiration I put down my guitar and grabbed the electric guitar, I gave it to Leaf since the keyboard wasn't really needed for what I had in mind. Seeing me do this Dawn grabbed her base.
We added the soft rock into my chords and came up with a pretty good little tune. Hi-fiving we all put our instruments into their cases and walked out of the music room.
"That sounded so pretty! All we need now is for someone or thing to inspire May! It'll be perfect!" Misty said. I frowned when she said someone.
"I bet she'll be inspired by a cute new kid!" Dawn shrieked and giggled until I tackled her. We play wrestled for a bit until she screamed surrender.
Misty and Leaf had started laughing somewhere along the time and their laughter in contagious so Dawn and I started laughing too. Somehow we all ended up on the floor laughing at something we didn't even remember. When we tried to remember we just laughed harder at the irony of not knowing what you're laughing at.
When we finally stopped laughing I asked a serious question.
"What now?"
I got blank looks for a minute while we all thought. It was peaceful quiet until Dawn's shriek pierced the air.
"We could model our new clothes for each other and help each other choose our first day outfits!"
"NO!" Misty being the competitive tomboy she is yelled.
"Ugh." Leaf mumbled not liking clothes much more than Misty.
"Ok." I replied. It would be nice to have some of Dawn's fashion advice.
"Let's GOOO!" Dawn grabbed us and dragged us to her fashion designing room.
In the fashion designing room
Dawn's POV
"It'll be a game. Each one of us choses one outfit for each person! Even yourself. My room first." I announced
Everyone followed me to my girlie bedroom. We all wen to my closet and picked out and outfit. Then we went to Misty's blue ocean themed room and picked outfits there. Then to Leaf's green earthy themed room and picked outfits. Lastly to May's black and red, rose and music themed room.
Once we had all the outfits we returned to the fashion room. I took the outfits everyone had chosen for me and went into one of my dressing rooms.
I came out in Misty's outfit first. It was a white tank-top and pink shorts. It also had a pink cardigan and pink flip-flops. It was actually pretty good. Better than I thought my tomboy friend could do.
Then was May's. A short black miniskirt paired with a pink ruffled top. It had pink wedges and a pink hairband. It was totally a May style.
Leaf's was third. She chose a light pink spaghetti strapped dress with a think brown belt under the bust. She had chosen brown ballet flats. She also put on a brown leather jacket to counter the girliness.
I didn't even bother putting on my own outfit, it was too dressy. I just came back out in my normal clothes, a black tank-top and pink miniskirt.
"Which one guys?" I asked stepping out.
The girls all exchanged a glance and simultaneously spoke. "Leaf's."
"I thoughts so! May your turn!"
May went to the dressing room and came out in Misty's outfit first. It was a red t-shirt with a rose and white short shorts. It had white flats and a red hairband.
She then came out in mine. It was a red ruffled blouse and a white skirt. She kept the white flats and hairband.
Next she put on Leaf's choice. It was a red skirt with a black button up blouse. It was with ¾ leggings in black and red flats. It also had a red flower clip in her hair.
Last she put on her own outfit. It was a jean skirt and black shirt with a red sequenced guitar. She had gold gladiator sandals and a high ponytail. Sitting down she looked for our opinion.
"As much as I hate to say it Dawn's." Misty grumbled.
"I like your choice." Leaf piped. All four of them turned to me.
"My outfit with your gladiator sandals and high pony." I responded know it would be the perfect combo. "May out, Leaf in."
May went and came back out in red shorts and a red tank, her regular clothes and Leaf went into the dressing room. She was out moments later in Misty's outfit.
It had olive shorts and a white spaghetti strapped top. It was paired with a camo/army jacket and brown combat boots. Very anti-girly and bold.
She went in and changed into mine. It was an olive green spaghetti strapped dress. It had a white jean jacket and white flats. She wore her hair down but I think it would've looked better up.
Next she came out in May's. It was a one-sleeved blousy forest green shirt. She had a darker green cami underneath. She was wearing worn blue jeans and forest converse. Very chic and smart.
Leaf put on her own outfit. It was a white skirt and graphic lime shirt. She was wearing lime and white flip-flops. It was definitely Leaf's style but it didn't suit her that well.
She came out wearing her regular clothes. A red skirt, green tank-top, green legwarmers and red converse. She was also wearing her trusty hat.
"Oh totally May's!" Misty and I said. May smirked and nodded.
"Sweet! It was my favourite anyways." Leaf replied. "Misty's turn!" We were all excited to see our sporty friend do a "fashion show" because her body is so toned.
Misty sighed and went into the change room. She came out in mine first. It was a white pencil skirt and aqua tank. It had white wedges, which Misty looked totally uncomfortable in.
She changed into May's outfit. It was aqua shorts with black leggings underneath. She also had on a black t-shirt with aqua letters saying: I 3 swimming. Misty was also in black gladiator sandals. You could tell she liked the saying on the shirt.
Next she was in Leaf's. It was a blue see-through blouse with a white tank underneath. She was also in jean shorts and white flats. She pouted not liking the see-through shirt much.
Finally she came out in her own outfit. We were all in shock because she looked really good and it wasn't blue. It was a yellow V-neck t-shirt with a black lace cami underneath. She had on black super skinny jeans and yellow flip-flops. She had let her short orange hair down to her shoulders.
"OMG! MISTY! It's the sun!" Leaf cried.
"That's awesome!" May shrieked.
Misty smirked and changed back into her regular clothes. A yellow crop-top with red suspenders and jean shorts.
We all tackled each other into a huge group hug.
"Look out school here we come!" I shouted and we all laughed.
Arms around each others' shoulders we collapsed on one of the couches in the living room. We all burst out in laughter.
We were a family. Friends, family, forever. Nothing would pull us apart!
Me: OMG CHAPTER 1 IS DONE!
May: No need to freak out. Yeesh.
Me: HEY!
Leaf: Oh shut up both of you! I'm studying.
Misty: Whatever Leaf, you're always studying. Besides school hasn't even started yet.
Dawn: Do you like our outfits?
Me: I mixed it up for Misty because one of my close friends has red hair and wore that and it looks beyond amazing.
Misty and Leaf: NO FLAMES
Me: Dawn, May disclaimer!
Dawn and May: Liv2Laugh00 doesn't own Pokemon.
Me: 3-5 reviews for chapter 2!
All: Review! PM too!
Me: Bye ~
