New chapter! Ding ding ding!

Chapter 3 – Moves Like Jagger

The alarm went off, signalling 4am. Alice stirred and pulled herself from Jasper's arms, sitting up. Rubbing her eyes, she looked around bewildered, but finally remembered where she was. The blonde haired girl glanced at the clock, shrieking as she realised what day it was. Their first day at Pallet Town High. Alice leapt out of bed and rapidly began to prepare for what would be a day that would go down in history. There was a loud sigh from Jasper who was still asleep. Rolling her eyes, Alice shoved him, "Jasper, let's go!"

Jasper woke with a start. Tangled up in the sheets, he struggled to get out. With a triumphant yell, he freed himself, only to fall out of bed and pull the bedside table on top of him. Jasper lay there groaning in pain while Alice was still rushing around. "What are you lying on the ground for? We have work to do!"

Semi-conscious with pain, Jasper dragged himself into the shower. After the hot water soothed his aching body as much as it could, did he emerge. When he walked back into the bedroom, Jasper saw that Alice had laid out clothes for him, like he was 5 years old. Sighing in frustration, he quickly got dressed, knowing from previous experiences that when Alice picked clothes for him to wear, it was wise to wear them.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Winston the butler was preparing breakfast for his two charges. He watched with amusement as Alice was dashing to and fro, putting her 'plan' into action. Winston chuckled as Jasper walked into the kitchen and leapt onto the pancakes that were just served. The boy poured a generous amount of maple syrup onto the cakes and quickly demolished them. Alice, however, was still rushing around. "Not ready, not ready, not ready, not ready…"

Jasper stood up and grabbed Alice's hand, forcing her to stop. "Alice, calm down. It will be fine. Do you remember your lines?"

"Of course I do. How could you ask that?"

"I was just checking. If you got those down, there's no need to worry."

"But what about the music? The band hasn't shown up yet!"

"They'll be here. Just relax, ok? You'll give yourself a heart attack."

"They had better be here. I paid them in advance."

Winston laughed as the two teens sat down to continue their breakfast. He had only known them for a weekend, but he was already fond of the youngsters. The front door rang and he went to answer it. Outside was the chauffeur that Alice had ordered the night before. As Winston turned his head to announce that the limousine had arrived, he felt something rush past him. Little Alice had blurred out through the door, down the yard into the car.

Jasper sighed. "This will be interesting. Thanks for the delicious breakfast Winston. We'll see you later."

Winston watched as the car drove away, with his hand raised in goodbye.

Scene Break

Ash Ketchum and his friends were sitting together in the cafeteria. The bell hadn't rung yet, so kids everywhere were enjoying their last few moments of freedom for the day. Ash sat with his arm around his girlfriend, laughing at the comments Gary made. He felt lips on his cheek as Misty kissed him and he turned and returned the kiss gently. "Seriously. You guys need to get a room."

Ash turned to Paul and grinned. "Why, you jealous Paul?"

Paul, emotionless as ever, replied, "No. I have Dawn for that."

May, who was listening to the conversation, made a face at Paul. "Don't talk about Dawn like that Paul. She's your girlfriend, not your play thing."

Paul shrugged nonchalantly. May sighed and turned to Ash. "Speaking of which, where is Dawn?"

"I don't know. I don't really care particularly." Ash retorted.

"Ash, I've had just about enough of you being rude about Dawn. What is your problem?"

"My problem? I don't have a problem. It's her who's got a problem."

"No, she doesn't. If you were nicer to her, she wouldn't be a bitch to you!"

"So I'm supposed to be the bigger person? Face it May, Dawn's a bitch. Through and through."

There was loud gasp and a crash from behind them. They all turned to see Dawn, pale faced and with a tray of food on the floor. May looked frightened, Misty wary. Ash was grinning. "Yeah, you heard what I said."

Dawn walked over to him and threw a punch at his face. Ash's hand darted out and caught her wrist. "Naughty, Dawn. Princesses like you aren't meant to throw punches. Did I say princess? I meant stuck-up, rich bitches."

Dawn's face was red as she yelled at Paul. "Paul, aren't you going to do something?"

Paul just shrugged and answered, "I'm going to see how this plays out."

Dawn took a deep breath to which everyone tensed for the screaming. Before she could though, a whistle echoed through the PA system. The whole cafeteria stood up in surprise as the music poured through the room. The main doors opened and a couple walked in with a band following behind them. They were both holding microphones to which the young boy started to sing. (A.N. Jasper, Alice, Both)

Just shoot for the stars
If it feels right
And aim for my heart
If you feel like
And take me away and make it OK
I swear I'll behave

The whole school was in shock. What were those kids doing? Something like this had never happened before. Ash let go of Dawn and whispered to Misty, "What's going on here?"

Misty responded with a shrug. "I don't know but this music is great and that guy sure can sing!"

They watched as the girl then raised the microphone to her lips.
You wanted control
So we waited
I put on a show
Now I make it
You say I'm a kid
My ego is big
I don't give a shit
And it goes like this

Take me by the tongue
And I'll know you
Kiss me 'til you're drunk
And I'll show you
All the moves like Jagger

I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you
With them moves like Jagger

I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger

By now the music had seeped through the room and people were gently swaying on the balls of their feet.

Maybe it's hard
When you feel like you're broken and scarred
Nothing feels right
But when you're with me
I'll make you believe
That I've got the key

Oh
So get in the car
We can ride it
Wherever you want
Get inside it
And you want to steer
But I'm shifting gears
I'll take it from here (Oh! Yeah yeah!)
And it goes like this (Uh)

Take me by the tongue
And I'll know you (Uh)
Kiss me 'til you're drunk
And I'll show you

All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger

I don't need to try to control you (Oh, yeah)
Look into my eyes and I'll own you

With them moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger (Yeah yeah)
I've got the moves like Jagger

You wanna know how to make me smile
Take control, own me just for the night
And if I share my secret
You're gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this

So watch and learn
I won't show you twice
Head to toe, oooh baby rub me right
But if I share my secret
You're gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this (Ay! Ay! Ay! Aaay!)

And it goes like this

Take me by the tongue (Take me by the tongue)
And I'll know you
Kiss me 'til you're drunk
And I'll show you (Yeah yeah yeah!)

All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
(Oh, yeah)
I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you

With them moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger

The duo finished and the cafeteria erupted into cheers. The girl stepped forward. "Thanks everyone! It's great to be here in Pallet Town High! I'm Alice and that hot guy over there is Jasper! We'll be here for a while, so get used to the music!"

Ash, Misty, May, Dawn and Paul looked at one another. May yelled, "That. Was awesome! That guy was soooo hot! I call dibs!"

Misty rolled her eyes and said, "May, what about Drew?"

May was startled out of her fantasy. "Well… I could have both."

"No. You can't. Hurry up and decide. The bell's going to go any minute now."

"I can't choose like this! Give some time!"

"Fine. We'll give you until recess to think it over."

And with that Ash and Misty walked away, Paul following them silently. Dawn made to go after him, but May grabbed her by the arm. "Dawn, wait."

"What's up?"

"I'm sorry about before, you know with Ash."

"No need to worry. Forgive and forget and all that jazz."

"If that's true, why are so angry at Ash?"

"It's because he's an asshole!"

"No, he's not. He's actually very sweet."

"I beg to differ. He's always rude to me. Calling me names and stuff like that. And what makes it worse is that Paul doesn't do anything about it!"

"To be honest Dawn, you're not Miss Friendly to him either."

"Whatever. I couldn't care less."

"And that's the attitude that gets you into trouble. Maybe if you just talked to Ash…"

"No. I refuse to exchange pointless banter with someone like him. I'm sure he's of the same opinion with me."

"You don't know that."

"I know enough. Come on. We're going to be late to class."

The two girls wandered off. From behind a pillar, Jasper and Alice were listening intently. Alice looked at Jasper and said, "Are you thinking of what I'm thinking?"

"If you're thinking that May and Dawn are hot, then I seriously love you."

"No, you idiot. I was thinking about Ash and Dawn. It would be the perfect test!"

"But Ash has a girlfriend and Dawn has a boyfriend. You see the problem?"

"No worries, no worries. Dawn and that moody boy, Pete or something, there not close. All it will take is a little push. Ash and Misty will be trickier, but there's bound to be some skeletons in the closet…"

"Alice, if I remember correctly, we weren't going to break couples up?"

"Jazz, you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs."

"If you say so."

There we go! BTW, Jasper and Alice's performances will be music based, with songs depending of the situation. R&R please my lovelies. Toodles!
