Drew's POV

Red. That was all that one could see. Undella Town was burning, and the flames just kept spreading and spreading faster. Dismay filled me as I watched the ship that would have taken Mia to Hoenn burn too, the wood cracking and sinking into the waters. Great, now what? I mentally tried to figure out what to do next. We could try to get to Lacunosa Town, but that would be too far and too dangerous. Heading towards Undella Town wouldn't be good either, and our hovercrafts were in a storage shed at the edge of town. And they wouldn't last the entire way to Hoenn. But that was our only choice and chance to get out of here alive.

I turned towards Mia. Her face was filled with shock, disbelief and disappointment. I placed a hand on her shoulder and smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry, I have a plan to get us out of here." No sooner had the words left my mouth the wind picked up and started blowing strongly. I glanced up to see, to my great relief, a squadron ship. So I guess Squad B got my message, thank god. Mia smiled. "Is that your plan?" I shook my head. "No, but it's a damn good replacement. Come on, we better hurry before Team Plasma notices it's here."

We all ran towards the squadron ship (Google Winx Specialist Ship) as it landed on the snowy mountain and a ramp was dropped. A mop of white hair appeared grinning. "I got your message Drew," Brendan Birch said. I smiled back. "Thanks man, you're such a life saver," Brendan shook his head. "No problem man." Shouts suddenly echoed behind us and I whipped around to see Team Plasma grunts coming towards the ship. "Shit," I cursed. "Mia, get on the ship now! We have to move! Go, go, go!" We all ran up the ramp and I slammed the red button that closed it. "Red, go, go, go!" I yelled at the said boy. The ship lifted off of the ground just in time, the grunts were unable to capture us. I sighed and rested my head back against the leather seats. God that was scary.

"Uh, Drew?" I turned towards the sound of Mia's voice. She was looking around warily at the boys and the ship. "Can you tell me why we are on this ship and who are those people?" She gestured towards Brendan and the rest of Squad B. "I don't think we've been introduced, I'm Mia Campbell." Brendan bowed. "I'm Brendan Birch, the leader of Squad B, the red-head is Rudy Donald, the guy with the Pikachu is Red Henderson, the blonde idiot is Barry Miller, and the green freak is N Harmonia." The guys waved. "So Mia, I guess you're the girl that's going to be staying with us right?" Mia nodded. "Yeah, I'm not really thrilled about that, but well, it's for "my safety". She said the last three words with quotation marks. "Why not?" Brendan asked. "You're going to be the only girl in a school of guys, that's a lot of testosterone." Mia's face turned red and she looked at the ground, not wanting to meet anyone's eye. Brendan smirked knowingly. "Oh, so little princess here isn't comfortable around guys huh? I guess you've never had a boyfriend? I bet you're still a virgin, no sex until marriage right?"

"Shut up Brendan, no one asked your opinion. And can't you see that Mia isn't comfortable with all of this? So just shut up and leave her alone. Her father just got killed and she's on her own. We're supposed to protect her, not make her uncomfortable," Trip snapped at him. His face was filled with annoyance and he put one arm around Mia protectively. I guess Brendan finally understood and shut up for his own good. Trip sighed. "Idiots," he muttered under his breath.


Mia's POV

I inwardly blushed at Trip's defense for me. That was very dashing of him. He gave the one over. He had messy blonde, no more of a sandy blonde hair that looked so soft and I had to contain myself from touching it. It was cut in a way so that it was very jagged, but I thought it was cute. He had ocean-blue eyes and his lips were so totally kissable. I inwardly sighed. It hadn't even been two hours and I was already falling for him. I shook my head. That wasn't what I was looking for, I was supposed to get stronger and be extract revenge on Team Plasma, and Trip would just be a distraction. A very good-looking distraction. Oh, I mentally told my "smart brain" to go take a vacation. I can do whatever I want, and who said I couldn't like Trip AND focus on getting stronger. I grinned. This plan was absolutely foolproof. "Mia, Mia, MIA!" I jerked out of my stupor to find all the guys looking at me with smirks on their faces. "What?" I asked. "Are you checking me out?" Trip teased. I blushed. I guess I had been staring at Trip while I was having my mind battle.

"I was just thinking of how gentlemanly that was," I said with a big smile. Hopefully they would buy that and not pester me anymore. Paul scoffed. "Yeah, that's not the only thing you were thinking of," he deadpanned. I blushed even more. "Can we drop this topic? Hey look, is that a bird? It's blue and so cute!" I exclaimed this happily, trying to draw the attention onto a different subject. I think all the guys mentally sighed and did.

The ship continued to fly for another good hour, and I found myself standing next to the window admiring the scenery. Hoenn was a really pretty place, it had plenty of rivers and oceans, and the greenery was beautiful too. I turned around. The Squad B guys were concentration on flying, but Squad A was in a meeting. From what I could tell, it was pretty intense and there were glances thrown in my direction. I blushed and immediately turned around. I hated when I knew people were talking about me but I didn't know what was being said. Sighing, I glanced out the window again.


2 hours later...

Trip's POV

Thank god we were nearing the school. Our meeting had gone pretty well, until Drew and Gary started teasing me about Mia. I told them off, saying that I had just met her and didn't know a single thing about her. Drew just laughed. He had said, "But you're the one rooming with her, so obviously something will happen between you guys right? You and a girl, a sexy one to be exact, who just happens to be the ONLY girl at the school so guys are going to be jealous." I shrugged my shoulders. I guess I wasn't looking for a girlfriend, I wanted to focus on Team Plasma and defeat them. A girl would only distract me and I HATE distractions.

"Yo guys, we're about 5 minutes away from touchdown, so get yourselves ready." Brendan's voice had ended our meeting and we were currently buckling ourselves in when I noticed Mia was not in the room. "Hey guys," I said out loud, "Have any of you seen Mia?" "Come to think of it, I haven't seen her since two hours ago," Drew added, his brow furrowing. Clearly he felt he was the most responsible for her safety since he was the oldest and most mature out of the 5 of us. I started to panic. "Guys, Headmaster Steven is going to kill us. First we fail to get on the ship from Undella Town, and then we lose the person that is probably the most important thing to me right now, and she was on this goddamn plane with us too! How does that happen!" I ended my outburst with a loud sigh.

The guys all burst out laughing. I frowned. What was so funny? "Dude, did you just say that Mia was the important thing to you right now? After you denied having feelings for her?" Gary doubled over. "That's like contradicting yourself!" I mentally went back over what I said and hit myself mentally. I had said that had I? Oh gosh, I was never going to live this down. The automatic doors leading to the kitchen opened and Mia looked at us confusingly. "Uh, am I missing something here?" she asked with a furrowed eyebrow. I gave the guys looks saying "If you say a word I will murder you". Drew swallowed his laughter. "No, we were just talking about the school, we're almost there by the way."

Mia brightened. "Oh thank god, I'm hungry." she said rubbing her stomach. "You guys don't have any food onboard, just drinks. How is a girl supposed to survive on that stuff? It has absolutely no substance." Ash answered, "But as soon as we get there, it will be dinnertime! So you get to eat as much as your want!" "And meet the entire school," Drew added. Mia sighed. "I don't know like if I'm supposed to wave or anything."

"Smile."

"Wink."

"Stick your chest out."

"Be a flirt.

"Don't hit on the teachers or the headmaster."

"Be yourself."

"Be a girl."

"Try not to embarrass yourself."


Mia's POV

I smiled weakly at the guys' suggestions. Okay, I totally got this. As we neared the castle, I couldn't help but be amazed (picture the Hogwarts castle). This was going to be an awesome stay, I could just tell. The ship touched down in a launchpad near one of the towers. The ramp dropped down and all the guys proceeded to stand up and walk out. I reached over for my box, when a pair of hands reached down and picked it up. I looked up to see Trip. "Don't worry, I got this. I'll bring it up to your room okay?" I smiled and gave him another hug. "You're the best Trip."

"Hey, hurry up!" Ash called out. "I want to go get food!" I grabbed Trip's hand and dragged him down the ramp. Drew pressed his finger to the keypad, and the heavy steel doors opened, revealing the inside of the castle. The floors were covered in a dark blue carpet, and the walls were filled with pictures of previous students and headmasters along with pictures of the castle itself. Torches lined the walls, creating a homely kind of feeling. I was lead down the hallway and we soon reached a staircase (picture the staircase Hermione comes down in the fourth movie) that lead to the Great hall, the classrooms, the dormitories and the training grounds. As we neared the great hall doors, I paused. I hurried to fix my appearance and look more presentable. Trip noticing this, patted my shoulder reassuringly. "Don't worry, you're already gorgeous," he said with a wink. I blushed at his compliment and was furiously fanning at my cheeks to stop the redness, but it all proved futile as the great wooden doors swung open and a million pairs of eyes landed on me.

I unconsciously grabbed Trip's hand and squeezed it tightly, trying to calm my nerves. As we walked down the middle of the hall, I could feel eyes on me. I heard whispering and snickers and I almost wanted to just turn back around and get out of here. Many boys winked at me, and I felt totally exposed and vulnerable. My grip on Trip's hand tightened as we neared the table at the front of the hall, where I could see several adults sitting. And did I mention that every single person in the hall was a guy? My mind was filled with situations I totally did not want to be apart of. I tried calming myself, but my nerves got even more active as we neared the teacher's table. I think Trip was losing circulation of his hand from how tight I was holding it. A man, who I assume was Headmaster Steven, stood up to greet us. '

"Mia, welcome to the Pokemon Elite Boarding School, I am Headmaster Steven." I nodded weakly at his introduction, more focused on the other people in the hall. "I promise you that your safety is the upmost importance to us, so we have appointed the boys of Squad A to be your personal guards. Additionally, your father has arranged two other guards, whom I believe you know very well." At this, the headmaster gestured behind me, and I turned around. I squealed like a girl and tackled the two people to the ground. Flint Flintstone and Volkner Swanston grinned. "Hey princess, long time no see huh?" Flint remarked as he tried to pry me off of him. I broke away myself. "Why didn't you tell me that you were going to be here?" I glared at him, hands on my hips. Volkner defended his friend. "We were told to keep it a secret from you, so there was no threats on our lives too." I nodded in understanding. At least they were going to be here, Flint was my second dad, and Volkner was like my third dad.

"And tomorrow you will start as a student here. We've already prepared a uniform for you, along with workout clothes." I made a face at this. Guys had absolutely no sense of fashion, so I guess I would have to somehow make whatever I was given fashionable. "And you will staying in the Squad A dorms," the headmaster finished. "What?" I was appalled. "Look, headmaster I appreciate this and everything, but I'm not really comfortable staying with guys, I mean obviously you get my meaning, like that stuff," I finished. All the guys were giving me amused looks, and I glared back. The headmaster rubbed the back of his head. "Well that was kind of our only option, because there isn't room anywhere else, and the teachers and I assumed that if Squad A was going to guard you, then staying with them would be correct." I sighed. "Fine, do I get my own room?"

"Uh, well you see in our dorm there are 5 rooms, and there are five guys, so-" Ash started. I cut him off, "So I have to share with one of you. No thanks, I'll take the sofa." I made a face at this. "Wait, you can't take the sofa because we don't have a sofa." Ash added. I facepalmed. "Well I'll sleep on the floor, you guys have a floor right?" I asked exasperated. Seriously, are these people kidding me? It's common knowledge you don't stick a teenage girl with a bunch of horny teenage guys. Duh.

Everyone looked uncomfortable from the current situation, so I decided to just screw this and go along with the plan. "All right, fine, I'll room with one of you, do I get to choose? Like because if I'm going to be sleeping with said person in separate beds (Gary) then shouldn't I feel comfortable?" "Well, the original plan was for you to room with me, but like if you don't like it we can change." Trip stated. I guess the blush on my face said everything, because the headmaster smiled knowingly. "Okay, so it is settled then. If you guys could take Mia up to the dorms, I've arranged for dinner to be brought up there so you guys can settle in properly."


A/N: So it looks like Mia's feeling for Trip are growing. What will happen now that they share a room? :)

Thanks to unicornfluff75 for being my first reviewer/follower/favoriter! May is smart enough to realize that Mia is a competitor for Drew's heart, but Mia thinks of Drew as a brother. Hope you enjoyed this chapter and look forward to the next!
