I LIED. Ok, so remember how I said I would try to get the next chapter of this fan-fiction out within a month? Well, it's 2015 now. Yeah, sorry about that. Luckily for this fic, I've been on a bit of a Pokemon kick lately, so I'm in the mood to update it. Also, I might not include everybody's OC. I'll probably only write them if I can fit them into the story. (And if I actually feel like writing them.) So, don't be disappointed if you don't see your OC.
As Tara raced towards the dock, she smacked into a bush, propelling Shrell into it. "You know, I'm really starting to hate these hedges, and I swear that bush wasn't there before." Tara grumbled, prying Shrell out of the hedge.
"Kiiip..." Shrell sighed, flopping over the edge of Tara's arm. Tara continued towards the dock at a more leisurely pace, wary of magically appearing bushes.
A few minutes later, she arrived at the dock. The Ticket Collector raised an eyebrow. "Your ticket?"
"Right, uh..." Tara patted around her bookbag for a while, before she remembered she had put her ticket in her jean pocket. "Here it is." Tara announced, handing the Ticket Collector the boat ticket. He looked it over, mumbling to himself.
"Mhmm. Everything seems to be in order. Right this way." He stepped out of Tara's way, gesturing for her to go up the ramp. Tara boarded the ship, Shrell still draped in her arms.
It's a very short chapter, and I'm sorry about that, but on the bright side I have some idea of what I want to do with the next chapter, so it shouldn't take too long. Of course, one should never expect a consistent schedule with me.
