Pinkcott123 : Thank you everyone who had reviewed! ^_^ Hopefully I can continue with this and hopefully you all will still like it! The first few chapters are really hard to write sometimes.
I would also like to say that this will be more towards Contest shipping and ikari shipping because….stuff, but I'm trying to get every one involved.
I also did some reediting for the first chapter. Thank you ShinyDragonair2, Nicky Azure, and Ready to fly for telling me about that. Now then onto our next problem.*looking at May and Leaf*
May and Leaf *glaring at each other with sparks all over the place*
Everyone else: …..
Drew: Let's continue with the story shall we? * ignoring them *
Pinkcott123: Please*whisper* I think Misty is ready to take out her mallet*whisper* Dawn?
Dawn: Pinkcott123 does not own Pokémon.
Pinkcott123: On with the show!
Leaf's POV
Everyone made a mad dash towards May when she screamed.
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!"
BAM!
We all sped up hoping May did not already kill the guy. She she had already done so we'll have to get rid of the body and try to hide it from Cynthia which is nearly impossible. And then she'll probably call the police and May will have to go to trial and knowing May, she gets herself and us in jail. Anyway it's just very… troublesome.
"Did you say something?" Dawn asked on an irked voice. I simply shift my gaze away from Dawn.
"Nothing at all."
"You said something didn't you?" Dawn insisted with a glare. Thankfully Misty slammed open the door quite loudly to interrupt Dawn's interrogation.
"What's wrong May?!" Misty asked, but there was no response from said person as Dawn and I followed behind Misty. May's eyes were still fixed on the a shirtless figure in the room as she gritted her teeth. It was a boy, based on his figure, but that's all we could infer since a towel was covering his face.
"Get out! Of! Our! House!" May growled hurling a fist toward the boy. I closed my eyes to not see the soon-to-be corpse, but the nonexistent sound of destruction and mayhem forced me to take a quick peek. The two stood there in the middle of the room with the stranger easily stopping the punch with his bare hands. We were actually quite surprised that he was able to stop one of May's punches. Then again bracelet was on so her powers were severely limited.
"This is how you greet me Airhead?" The figure said in an irritated tone. We all blinked blankly. Airhead? How would he know the nickname that irritates May the most (and possibly make her explode, literally)? The only person we know that call her that is Drew.
.
.
.
Realization hit upon us and May forcefully removed the towel from the boy's head, revealing Drew's agitated face. I covered Dawn's mouth and threw her out of the house to prevent her from screaming something that sounded like she had just discovered tomorrow is the end of the world.
Why…WHY is he in our house?!
Only the principal should know about this place! It's placed in the opposite side of the city where no one is able to see it. Even Jewels' crazy, psychotic stalkers don't know where it is.
Before I could ask anything, we were interrupted by another voice.
"Is it the Jewels?" Another voice called out from the staircase. The girls looked at me who only stiffened in place. Someone just kill me now.
"Nope. It's just the 4 Bronzes we were talking to this morning." Drew answered rubbing the towel on his hair. There was a pause, but I could see him smirking pass the wall that hid his face. That smirk full of arrogance and lust really makes me want to throw up at the moment. Please someone shoot me. I'll even provide you with the gun.
"That means Leafy is here too right?" I covered my face with my hands and groaned in aggravation. Gods why must he be here? Not to mention the name he calls me. It just makes me feel weird (in a really bad way. What you are thinking). The infamous pervert with the spiky hair walked down the stairs and looked straight at me. No one fucking else just ME.
"I knew you couldn't stay away from me Leafy." Gary smirked, "just remember, my room is the 2nd door to the right and the door is walays opened for you." I blankly stared at the brunette before staring at everyone else. I sighed loudly. Well, I tried. I calmly cracked my knuckles and looked at the makeshift bracelet that poor tree unwillingly gave to me(for the sake of the school). I'm so sorry little branch that you have to be in the middle of all this.
"Girls, get ready to call an ambulance and plead self-defense when the police arrive." I said trying my hardest to snap the twig bracelet apart. May quickly stopped me from completely taking it off.
"No need to go there Leaf!" She said worriedly. She looked at the boys as she pushed me away from Gary.
"May I ask you why you guys are here? This is the Jewel's house." May forced a smile, but anyone could tell she was just as concerned as we are.
"We're going to be living here from now on." Gary replied.
….
No. Just no. He is not living here with us. I will not take it. I don't care I'm not living that spikey haired pervert ! (Leaf: Just no. I'm not doing this. I won't accept it. *starts to leave* Pinkcott123: Leaf come back I need you!*door slam*...So who's going to continue? Misty: *sigh*I will )
Misty's POV
We looked like someone slapped us in the face, but Leaf's reaction was worse. She was turned to stone in an instant (thankfully not literally). May waved a hand in front of Leaf.
"Hello?! Earth to Leaf~! Leaf?!" May panicked. She shook her violently to try to snap Leaf out of her shock but it didn't work.
"Let me try." Gary said, but once he was within 5 feet of the girl Leaf gave him a clean uppercut, causing him to fly a good 10 feet into the air and hit the ceiling. She didn't break the ceiling, but she did leave a dent in it. Everyone backed away from Leaf.
"She's good." I said with my hands raise in defense. Drew casually (I'd thought he would be surprised or scared) watched Gary fall back down to the floor before looking at us.
"Can you tell us why you guy are here?" He asked unmoved, "The Jewels are supposed to be living here; not a bunch of Bronzes." We started to sweat. I was hoping he wouldn't ask us that.
What are we supposed to say? Oh we are actually the Jewels but we are like this because we don't want to be the Jewels and the principal told us keep a low profile so we are pretending to be Bronze students and this is where we actually live as the Platinums of the school-
YEAH RIGHT!
"We are working for them as…maids! Yeah maids!" May lied. Drew looked at her unconvinced and May nervously looked at Leaf for help, but she still looked a bit too agitated to help anyone. Besides, I don't think even she knows how to prove this. Right on cue May's phone rang. May took her phone out and looked at the caller id, relieved to see the name display. She gave Leaf and I a nod before showing us the glowing word "Diamond"(aka Dawn) displayed in the phone's screen. I subtly looked around the room and thankfully the boys did not seem to notice that there was a missing 'Bronze' in the group. I gave May a thumbs up and she grinned.
"See she's calling me now!" May held the phone up for the boys to see the caller id. The boys looked at the phone suspiciously as May plugged the phone into the TV. Once the device was turned on a white haired girl with sky blue eyes appeared on the screen.
"Hi everyone!" The girl said with a smile and waved. "I'm sorry girls, but something came up so instead we are calling you." The two boys stood still in front of the screen. I think it took them a while to fully realize that that was actually Diamond, a Platinum, on the other side of the screen. I mean who else can display a powerful aura that can be felt through a tv? I smiled. Now they have to believe us. Diamond noticed the boys and tilted her head in confusion.
"Why are the Gems here?" She asked cluelessly. Gods she a good actress. Just a moment ago she was practically about to scream blood murder. Gary recovered first and smirked.
"Nice to meet you Diamond," He gracefully bowed, "The principal sent us here because of our popularity. This house is hidden, so no crazy fans can get here."
"I should have known the principal had something to do with this." Leaf growled in a low voice as May try to calm the girl down. Diamond looked surprised.
"Oh... So you guys will be living with the girls from now on." She spoke.
"What do you mean?" Drew asked.
"We're going to too busy to come back to the house, so we're letting our maids, Misty, Leaf, May, and Dawn, live in it. They'll have our rooms while we are gone." Diamond clarified. Drew looked at us and shook his head.
"Seriously you're giving them the best of the best when they are Bronze student?" Drew said, "I can't agree to this." Gary smiled and waved Drew off.
"Let them stay. Since they are maids it doesn't matter if their master has changed." Gary said looking at Leaf in a sly way.
"We will not be ordered around by the likes of you!" Leaf argued. It was only due to May that Leaf hadn't teared Gary apart limb by limb yet, but everyone knew she was closed to tipping point. Diamond glanced to the side and she quickly looked back at the camera.
"Sorry but Ruby is calling for me. Gotta go!" She said and her face vanished from the screen. Leaf's intent to kill had also faded, but May stood between Gary and Leaf, just in case.
"Now do you believe us?" I crossed my arms.
"I guess so." Drew answered and May puffed up her chest in pride with a look that said 'I told you so!'
"Where's the girl with the blue hair? Isn't she also part of your group?" Gary asked.
"You mean Dawn." I answered irked by the fact that we were seen without much individualism. "She's outside trying to keep her blood pressure low, but I'm sure this will bring it right back up. I don't want to be in the firing line so who's going to break it to her?"
"I will." Leaf decided with a slight raise of her hand.
"Leaf you are a brave woman." May commented and she started to push Leaf out the door while the rest of us popped our heads out the doorway. We could see Dawn didn't need a paper bag to calm down. She needed a hot air balloon. At the sight of Leaf she instantly ran towards her and shook her hard. Like a mosquito her barrage of question came out high, squeaky, and fast.
"How was it? Why are they here? What did they say? What happened?!"
"Settle down-" Leaf started.
"I won't settle down!" Dawn interrupted.
"- they are staying in the house." Leaf ended. Dawn began to cry which was not the type of explosion we have expected. I guess it counts though.
"There there." Leaf rubbed Dawn's back to placate her. I observed the tip of Dawn's hair faded from white to blue and her weeps soon sputtered like she was trying to choke herself into crying a few seconds longer. The boys bought the act and returned to the house while May and I walked towards Leaf to console Dawn a bit more. She took a quick peek up and wiped her last bit of crocodile tears away.
"How was my acting?" She whispered loudly. I patted her on the back.
"Get an Oscar. You deserve it." I said and the rest softly clapped for her. Dawn stretched out her limbs with a smile that stretched out from ear to ear and lazily looked at each of us.
"I really need a catnap right now." She yawned.
"Now is really not the time Dawn." I sighed trying my hardest to urge the lazy girl to change her mind. Leaf nudged me on the side.
"I'll take this." She mouthed.
"(Leaf: *comes back into room* Misty: Are you good now? Leaf: Yes I am *crush a doll of Gary* Pinkcott123: …Someone keep an eye on her.)
Leaf's POV
It's not really hard to know what sets Dawns off and I just made an educated guess since the Gems are going to be living in the house. I spoke as casually as I can.
"Since the boys were here before us I wonder if they have been to your room-"
ZOOM!
We felt a blast of air as Dawn flew past us and into the building. After hearing loud footsteps on the staircase and her foot kicking down the door you might expect how Dawn would react to my hypothesized situation.
"NNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Dawn shrieked and we ran towards her scream. Sure enough someone was in her room and unfortunately for her, it was Paul.
"What happened to D-Diamond's room! I-It's all black and stuff!" Dawn wailed and we heard a low growl from Paul probably from our intrusion into 'his room'. Yet Dawn continued wailing uncontrollably.
"M-M-My r-r-room…. Dawn shakingly said as she stared at the interior of the room. I don't think she even notice the boy standing in the middle of it boring a hole into our skulls with his glares. But I get it after observing the scene more once if I put myself in Dawn's shoes. All of Dawn's fluffy furnitures were replaced by dark, almost death like objects. It's a bit creepy if you ask me.
"Calm down Dawn." Misty said soothingly hoping to coax her out of her terror. It didn't work. We all sighed and Misty and May grabbed the collar of Dawn's shirt.
"My ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!" Dawn dramatically cried as Misty and May dragged her out of the room. While they were dragging Dawn away from her nightmare May looked into her room and she released her grasp on Dawn.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" May shouted as Drew was walking towards her.
"What's wrong June?" Drew said.
"My room!" May screamed looking at Drew. Drew perked a brow which caused May to turn her head towards her chamber embarrassed at her own slip up.
"I meant to say maroon!" She lied (quite nicely too), "The last time I've been here this room was red! The shelves, the chairs, the bed sheets; they were all red!" She pointed at the space in front of her.
"Now it's green!"
"That's because it's my room now." Drew said. May's jaw dropped before she glared.
"It belongs to Ruby and she gave it to me which means it belongs to me now!" She snapped.
"Well you should have come home earlier when the boys were moving into their rooms." Drew countered.
(May: How is this possible?! How do you completely change a room in 1 day? Pinkcott123: Author logic my dear. I control everything. Deal with it.)
"Paul took Dawn's room and now my room has been taken over by an egotistic grasshead!" May complained loudly. I ignored her complaint and walked to my room. I opened the door only to see Gary in it.
"Haven't you heard of knockin- well hello there Leafy. I didn't know how much you are attracted to me-" I slammed the door and walked away. Nothing to see here guys.
"GET THE HELL OUT OF SAPPHIRE'S ROOM!" Misty said and Ash was thrown out on into the hallway. He crashed into the wall with a bang and noticed me looking at the event with a troubled face. At the sight of Misty with a mallet resting on her shoulders he instantly hid behind me like a terrified puppy. She covered her face with her hand and groaned loudly.
"Just tell me where the Jewels' stuff is." Misty said. I forgot about them…and they are nowhere to be seen. I looked at the girls and they were thinking the same thing. I quickly turned around to face Ash.
"Please don't tell me you threw their stuff out!" I said grabbing him by the shoulders.
"WAIT THEY DID WHAT?!" May screamed running out of 'her' room and Ash looked at me more terrified than before.
"W-we didn't-"
"Who would want to throw out one of the Jewel's things?" Gary said coming out of his room. The girls sighed a breath of relief.
"We sold them."
"Kill them!" May commanded and Gary raised his hands up in defense.
"Okay hold on! Can't you take a joke?" he said.
"The truth is we moved it to the other rooms." Ash said pointing to the 4 rooms across the boy's rooms. We all ran into the room and luckily, all of our belongings are there.
"These were the only rooms that were not filled with mindless junk." Drew added on.
"Junk?!" You don't know the value of these things!" May said.
"But they are a bit random…"I said picking up a plushy that seems to be a fish with wings. This must be Dawn's with when she was going through a fish fetish. Might as well give it back to her now.
"This is my room and you can't have it!"
Or not.
Gods it's just one problem after another with these people.
"Are you just going to ignore me like that?!" Dawn shrieked.
There was a sudden blast of air in the room, but luckily May was there to stop it. Right on time too might I add. May held Dawn's bracelet in place as Dawn switched from Paul to Gary.
"The boys are switching rooms with the girls!" Dawn demanded.
"No way in HELL!" Gary objected.
"Why not?!"
"For one thing your room is pink!" He said pointing at Dawn.
"What's wrong with that?" Dawn asked very offended by Gary.
"Look, no boy want to be surrounded by the color pink." Gary said. Drew and Paul agreed with Gary.
"I'm okay with pink." Ash said. The boys looked at him weirdly before looking back at us.
"Like I said every boy doesn't want to be surrounded by pink." Gary continued.
"Just repaint the f-damn rooms if you hate the color that much!"
"How about no since we are not switching rooms!" We watched the two bicker relentlessly.
"Cats and dogs can never agree on something." I sighed and the others agreed with me.
"Guys won't you switch?" Misty asked, "It's better for everyone."
"I knew you'll be on my side Misty!" Dawn smiled gleefully. Paul growled.
"Troublesome." With killer intent Dawn was about to pounce on Paul, but May held her down by the tail.
"So what do we do?" May inquired.
"We'll take the other rooms," Misty said finally ending this argument. Dawn dropped her head in defeat.
"Why Misty why?!" Dawn whimpered.
Pinkcott123: And there you have the second chapter of Power within Us! I made it shorter since it was getting too long. Also, sorry about the side comments, but I just had to write them :P And now we resume to the girls. *pointing at Leaf and May*
Leaf: She stole my line!
May: She started it!
Misty: Both of you stop arguing! It's just a line!
Gary: *sigh* When will this childish squabble end?
Drew: Considering who we are talking about, never.
Leaf: …Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
May: ….Yes.
May and Leaf: *looking at Drew and Gary* Kill them.
Gary and Drew: *disappeared*
Dawn: At least they got back together.
Misty: Please review!
