Oh my gosh! I actually am updating! Crazy! It's actually not that good of a chapter, though. I do actually have a few challenges planned, but I'm saving them for later.

Chapter 3: What in the Heck?

Leafeon was gazing out of her cabin window silently, admiring the lake view. It was sparkling and bubbling like Champagne, and was glistening like glass.

"What'cha lookin' at?" Hitmonchan said as she walked in.

"Oh, nothing. Just wondering when Darkrai will give us our next challenge. It's been over a week!" Leafeon said.

"Well, you should be thankful! But Darkrai will probably give the next challenge soon." Hitmonchan replied.

A few seconds after Hitmonchan spoke, a booming voice rang throughout the island. "Campers! Meet me at the campfire in ten!"

"Like right now." Hitmonchan groaned.

"Where the heck is he?" Staryu complained. "I'm getting impatient."

"Who are we talking about again?" Happiny questioned, scratching her head.

"Darkrai." Staryu scoffed.

Happiny brightened. "Thanks!"

000

Happiny: I may forget a lot, but I am enjoying my time here! Everyone is very nice! (Frowns and scratches head) Wait, where am I again? (Sighs) Aww, man! This is going to bug me!

000

Darkrai walked (well, floated) from behind the campfire. "Hello, campers!"

"Hello!" Butterfree said back. "Hi!" Tropius said, probably just to match Butterfree.

"So today's challenge is… no challenge!" Darkrai said.

"Wait, what?" Garchomp said.

"The author wants to use this chapter for character development!" Darkrai said.

"Now, now, Darkrai. No breaking the fourth wall." Flare Network C typed.

Darkrai sighed. "Oh, alright. Go do whatever you want to!"

"I'm giving cooking lessons in the kitchen!" Genesect said as he waved his hand.

Happiny grinned. "I'm an excellent cook! I can cook…" She began to scratch her head. "Wait, what can I cook? Oh, yeah! Eggs! I'll go!"

That prodded Butterfree, Tropius, and Gyarados into cooking, while everyone else split up to go enjoy some free time.

000

Nidorina: The perfect plotting session.

"Woo-hoo!" Togekiss shouted as she flew off of the cliff. "This is awesome! I never want to stop!"

Togekiss began to soar into somersaults, loop-de-loops, and upside-down flying. Eventually, she landed down at the bottom, where Gastrodon was waiting.

"So, how was it?" He asked.

Togekiss giggled. "Amazing! The wind in my wings, the air blowing past me, the soaring beauty of the landscape below, it all feels fantastic!"

Gastrodon hung his head. "Too bad I'll never feel that way. I'd love to be able to fly, but I can't. I'm just a giant, pink slug."

Togekiss thought for a moment, and then brightened. "I know! I'll carry you on my back!"

"Really?" Gastrodon tilted his head.

"Sure!"

"Than what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Gastrodon exclaimed.

Meanwhile, Leafeon and Exeggcutor were taking a walk through the forest, enjoying the fresh scenery and greenery (Author's note-That rhymed!).

"So, where're you from?" Leafeon asked.

"Oh, I live in a nice den near the Viridian Forest. You?"

"I come from the Eterna Forest. Near this big, mossy rock." Leafeon said. "Got any siblings?"

"Yeah, I've got this little brother Exeggcute." Exeggcutor said. "How many do you have?"

Leafeon smiled, then she exclaimed "Over 9000!"

Exeggcutor gaped.

Leafeon burst out laughing. "You should have seen the look on your face!"

000

Exeggcutor (Laughing): Oh man, Leafeon is the funniest person on the island!

000

"So, how many siblings do you actually have?" Exeggcutor asked.

"Let me see…" Leafeon replied. She began gazing up at the sky, looking thoughtful. "Eight."

"Eight?!" Exeggcutor looked shocked.

"Uh-huh. Flareon, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Espeon, Umbreon, Glaceon, Sylveon, and little Eevee." Leafeon counted.

"Wow. That's a lot. How old are you?" Exeggcutor said.

"Me and Glaceon are the third oldest, after Sylveon and Eevee. The triplets, Vaporeon, Flareon and Jolteon, are the oldest. Espeon and Umbreon are twins, like me and Glaceon, but they're older."

"Why'd you sign up?" Exeggcutor asked.

Leafeon sighed. "I love my family, but eight siblings can get tiresome. I wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of home. Sometimes here it just feels too quiet, though, and I'll miss them."

Exeggcutor looked at the ground. "I see."

"I'm glad I have you to talk to, though!" Leafeon said.

Exeggcutor smiled. After about a minute of walking, his head shot up and said "Do you want to go out with me?"

Leafeon looked over, shocked. "Do you mean it?"

"Yes. I like you a lot, Leafeon. You've got a ton of good qualities, you're beautiful, and ever since you got here, I haven't been able to take my eyes off of you." Exeggcutor paused. "I'll say it again."

But just as he was about to speak, Leafeon spoke instead. "You don't need to. I love you, Exeggcutor."

They smiled at each other for a long, long time. And then they kissed.

000

Leafeon: Yes, Yes, Yes!

000

In cooking class, pizza bagels weren't the only thing cooking up. Love was in the air as well.

"Sooooo." Tropius said. "Want to hang out at the beach tomorrow?"

"No." Butterfree said, turning around to add flour to the bread batter.

"Okay then. You. Me. My cabin. Tonight. How about it?" Tropius tried.

"No… I'm hanging out with Flygon tonight." Butterfree replied.

"Then how about…"

"No!"

000

Tropius: I just don't know what I'm doing wrong! I've tried everything, but I can't get Butterfree to go out with me! (Bangs his head on the wall) What is wrong with me?

000

Things weren't going much better with Happiny and Gyarados.

"Where's the flour, again?" Happiny asked while scratching her head.

"Duh, it's in the pantry, stupid!" Gyarados said.

Happiny happily smiled. "Oh, right!" She began to search for the plastic bowl with white powder in it.

"Got it!" she happily cried a few minutes later. But soon enough, she began to grunt. "Uhhh! It's stuck!"

000

Gyarados: What a weakling! I would have completed my bagel by now!

000

Gyarados groaned. "Here, let me handle this." But before he could pull it out, Happiny held up a hand. "Nah, I got it."

Before Gyarados could speak, Happiny threw her arms under the flour. "Hee-yah!" Happiny's arms glowed white, and she hurled the flour into the air! The flour flew through the room, and then landed safely on the counter.

000

Gyarados: What the heck was that?! She's awesome! But awful at the same time, still.

000

"Okay, since I got it out, I get to put the flour into the batter!" Happiny said.

Gyarados didn't agree. "Uhhh, no, I do."

Happiny was getting annoyed as well. "Ummmm, how about no?"

Gyarados wasn't giving up without a fight. "Ummmm, how about yes?"

"Idiot!" Happiny said.

"Weakling!" Gyarados argued.

"Dumb butt!"

"Queen of crazy!"

"Non-dragon!"

Gyarados gasped. So did everyone else.

Happiny smirked. She had clearly won.

Gyarados turned his back on Happiny. Happiny did the same to Gyarados. Two seconds later, they were on the floor making out.

"I love you." Happiny said.

"I love you too." Gyarados responded.

"But you're still an idiot."

"And you're still the queen of crazy."

000

Tropius: Great. Why can't my love life be that simple?

000

Tropius sighed. Butterfree looked at them strangely. "Wait a minute."

Gyarados groaned. "For what? This is awesome!"

"Aren't you two on different teams?" Butterfree asked.

Gyarados 'eyes widened. The color from Happiny's face drained.

"Oh, crap!" Gyarados said.

Wow! What a romantic chapter! Two couples were formed, and hints at one couple! And yes, yes I will continue to do the fourth wall thing.

P.S. This is the reason I didn't vote off Happiny. Sableye, I just didn't know what to do with him.

Starting with this chapter, I will do a fun fact about the eliminated contestant. But this time I'll do Sableye, for obvious reasons.

FF:I wanted to do something with Sableye's typing, but I wanted to do more important stuff with everyone else.

Thanks for reading! Next chapter up soon!

About my Azumanga Daioh story. I will be doing that after I finish this.
