-Megadeth-Gary's POV
The time had come fir what Drew was describing as a big interview, since it was our first one in the Kalos region. Silver had gotten a limo to take us to our interview located near the center of the town. Currently the band and I were sitting on two leather couches, Ash and I on one with Paul and Drew on the other, on the set of Gossip Kalos. Apparently it discusses all the celebrity news, from embarrassing moments to getting a new puppy. With all the shit this band pulls off, we'll be news on this show every week. Without realizing I put an evil smirk on my face.
"Yo, Gary cut the evil look. You'll give people a bad image. I don't want to get killed right away here like we did in Johto." Drew strictly pointed out to me. Man, we need to go out for a drink or something later...ease his mind, maybe get lucky. Plans for this night are set, to the best club in town! Maybe I could get Paul with some chick, see if he is slightly enjoyable then.
Anyways, back to reality, the host of the show had arrived on stage. Alexa Pansy, wearing light grey skinny jeans with a red shirt with black sleeve and a white collar. She had loose, knee high boots and brown locks were tied into a bun with her bangs sticking out in front of her face. "Hiya! Good to meet you all, big fan. Not all fan girl though, no worries on that." I opened my mouth to hit on her but she covered it with her hand before I could. "No flirting on set." She shook all of our hands before taking a seat on a navy blue writer's chair which was situated behind a maple wood desk.
"It's great-" Drew began to talk, but a man came up behind him and attached a mic, which then happened to the other three of us as well.
"We're on in 5, 4, 3!" a man behind the camera began counting down to the air. After three he just used his fingers.
"Welcome to this week's Gossip Kalos. I'm Alexa and boy do we have some juicy celebrity news for you. As well, this week we have special guests, all the way from Sinnoh, Night Shade!" Alexa introduced herself and us before asking multiple questions to us. We discussed how we were discovered at SSOTA and met some great people there. the tour we were going on was the next topic; we shared some of the information that we knew giving the audience some information. As well, we talked about our relationships with girls, okay that's a lie, I talked about Veronica and Ash just said he's had some dates but hasn't found someone he's really interested in. Drew explained how he wasn't interested in dating after Alexa begged him to, although Paul stayed silent the whole time. Definitely taking him to a bar.
The show finally ended about ten minutes after we went off the air. We stayed backstage though and were talking to some of the crew members signing some pictures, taking pictures. The usual really, we'll what we usually do. Before long Alexa had also joined in and we were soon telling her stories about when we in Sunnyshore. We were all laughing about recalling the good memories and pranks that we pulled, even Paul, the emotionless pit was laughing.
"No, what's better than that is when we doused the girls in mud and oil!" Ash brought up through the laughter. I recalled the time, remembering the screams and the faces they had. And then May's parents walked right in on the whole thing.
"Their faces were priceless!" Drew added to the ruckus we were causing. These memories, I had forgotten what a great time I had back when we were with the girls. I guess I just pushed them all away so that I would be able to move on. Maybe, just an idea, but not like that's real; I mean I'm Gary Oak, I don't need to do anything to move on. I have dated many girls and not one of them was more special than the others. Snap out of it Oak, you are better than stressing over things that don't matter.
"Wait, did you by chance go to school with Angel's Light?" Alexa asked.
"Ya, they were our roommates. I actually came up with their name, don't remember how but I did. Well it was just a suggestion, but they liked me and went with it." Drew stated leaning back into the chair he was in.
"Well that's cool, have you spoke to them lately? I've done a couple interviews with them and I know them personally...I could set up a lunch between the two groups. A reuniting lunch, so that you guys could chat."
We all looked at each other and before the others could speak I cut I front of Alexa. "You know we would love that." I put an evil grin on my face. Oh I would show her. I would show her that I am great and that leaving me was a mistake.
Being pulled out of my thoughts, Paul ripped my arm back so we were in a group huddle. "You fucking idiot. You really think that they want to see us after they left us!" Paul yelled at me in a whisper.
"I'm even smart enough to know that they don't want to see us. Dude, think ahead, now we have to go or we'll give ourselves a bad name." when the hell did he get so smart. Ugh I hate that they're right. Me and my big mouth. Oh well, just accept it and move on right.
"Okay, we can do the lunch. Just don't tell them it's us." Drew said, clever he is. If they knew it was us they might not show up.
"Uh, why?" Alexa questioned looking up from her phone, most likely from contacting the girls.
"We, uh...want it to be a surprise. Ya, a surprise." Good thinking Ash. Good thinking.
"Oh, alright. Well it is all set up. Tomorrow at Le Wow, twelve thirty sharp. Alright I need to get home; my sister's coming for a visit tonight." Alexa grabbed her jacket and purse before dashing out the door of the studio.
We soon left the studio as well, making our way back to the hotel, grabbing some dinner on the way. It wasn't a super far walk but I wish Silver had gotten us a limo or something for the way back, I just wanted to crawl into bed with Veronica and sleep...that is if she is even here yet. I could swear that she was coming while we were at the interview.
I awoke the next morning forgetting how I actually got into bed and back to hotel. Rubbing my eyes, I sat up in the bed I was in looking around. Huh, Veronica isn't here. I sighed as I couldn't see her today since we had lunch with the girls and then a dinner with the other tour mates later in the day. Pushing the blankets off my body, I got out of bed and headed to the bathroom located beside Paul's bed, where he currently was lying with his headphones on and eyes closed.
Leaving him be, I walked into the bathroom with a purple V-neck and dark wash jeans that I pulled from my suitcase. I turned the hot water on before pulling my shirt off and tossing it in the corner followed soon by the boxers I slept in. Stepping into the hot water I soaked in the steam for a little while before washing my hair. After about ten minutes in the shower I turned the water off and grabbed a towel to dry off with before throwing on the clothes I brought.
There was I knock on the bathroom door, "Dude hurry up Ash is hungry and bugging for breakfast out here." Paul said in an annoyed voice. I leave the room for ten minutes and this is what happens. Paul gets annoyed and Drew and Ash come from their room and bug. Oh well. I quickly towel dry my hair and the gelled it to its usual spiked formation.
Walking out of the room I saw Paul in the same position I left him in but now with an annoyed face as Ash was poking his arm saying he was hungry. Yes, Ash was more mature but at some points he still had the same ways as a child would have. "Alright now we can go get food" Ash said as he noticed me emerged from the bathroom. I noticed Paul sigh and then get up putting on his shoes, quick to follow behind him was the rest of us.
We made our way down to the lobby where there was a complimentary breakfast that came in the hotel. Almost immediately Ash ran and began to pile food onto his plate while Drew tried to get some food while he could. I could hear Paul mumbling something under his breath probably his usual 'idiot' and 'pathetic'. I scooped up a plate and began grabbing some food as well.
Before long, we had finished breakfast. During that time I had mentioned about Veronica not being here yet, which earned a scoff from the others. Okay, I know that they don't like her, heck they want me to dumb her on the side of the street in the middle of the night, but I just need her with me for some reason. I don't know why, there's just something about her. Whatever. We finished our breakfast and headed back up to our rooms, although I decided to go with Ash and Drew to their room to play some Borderlands before we had to leave for lunch.
Paul left us boys before heading up to the floor above to return to our room, while I followed Ash and Drew back to theirs. We arrived at what was identical to my current room; two queen sized beds, a large flat screen TV situated on top of a dresser and a desk with a comfortable chair for working. There was also a small kitchen for the nights we didn't want to go out to eat, as well as storage for snacks and a sitting area with a table by the window which overlooked the city.
I sat down on the desk chair I pulled over to the TV, grabbing a controller to the Xbox. Ash sat on what I took to be his bed, by the mess that was there, with a controller as well. We played for a while as Drew was working on some business stuff for his dad while he and his mother were on vacation for the next couple of days. "Dude, why don't you just relax for a little while? Leave it for after lunch. I mean you'll probably want to get your mind off it anyways, meeting the girls again and all." I told him looking up from the TV while Ash picked a job off the board for us to complete.
"Because unlike you, I don't plan to leave things to the last minute. And I know that it is going to be weird seeing them. I mean they didn't try and contact us at all and ignored all of our phone calls, emails, texts...and didn't you send Leaf a package of stuff the one time?" Drew replied to me not looking up from the laptop he was typing away at.
I looked back to the screen so that we could start the mission, but still in conversation with Drew. "ya I sent her a basket of berries and stuff saying 'sorry for whatever I did please talk to me' something along those lines. It also had an oak leaf pendent, I had bought it back when we were in Johto and was planning to give it to her on our two year anniversary but she left before that so."
"I knew you sent something, and really an oak leaf. And you call me cheesy with romance and shit like that." Drew scoffed back at me still looking at his laptop.
"Hey don't judge that shit. I thought it would be a good gesture. And the chick at the jewelers recognized me. And said since I was an Oak and her name was Leaf it would work."
"Guys! I'm trying to concentrate on the game here. This is a tuff part." Ash snapped at our conversation, I looked back to Drew who was now looking at the TV screen.
"Dude, you are picking out what colour ride you want. Not that hard, you always pick the blue and then destroy it anyways." Drew said to Ash unamused. "Alright, it's twelve o'clock now, and it takes about fifteen minutes to walk to Le Wow restaurant. So save the game. Gary if you want to go and grab Paul and we'll meet in the lobby so we can head off. Sound good?"
"Ya, here," I tossed the controller I held at him, which he caught before it hit his laptop. "Play for me, well it saves cause I don't think Ash knows how to."
"I do to. I just don't know what to do." Ash whined back to me.
"It's auto save just need to do some stuff and it will save." I said putting on my shoes and opening the hotel room door. "See you in a few." I walked over to the elevator and headed to the next floor. Once the doors opened I headed over to the room I shared with Paul and used the key to open the door. I slowly opened it hear the guitar playing in the room, so he was in a writing mood again. I walked into the room without making a noise. I could hear him singing slightly as well. When did he have time to do all that, the chords, lyrics, just the overall tune? He's been holding back on us I know it.
'Cause I never seem to stay asleep enough
When it's you I'm dreaming of...
"Gary I know you're there." Paul said gruffly. I popped my head around the corner to where he was seated on the bed. He had stopped playing all together once he discovered I was there and now was putting his acoustic in it's case.
"When did you write that?" I asked him now leaning on the wall waiting for him to grab the case and put it back where he stored it in the room, which was located with our other guitars.
"I'm still writing and I don't know if I want to perform it as a band."
Well that makes sense, hasn't told us because he's still writing, must not have a lot. I thought to myself. And of course not perform it as a band, that's logical...wait...NOT IN WITH THE BAND! "Dude, what? We perform together all the time. Why wouldn't you want to do it as a band? You're not going solo are you? It's because of Silver pushing us to do this tour isn't-" before I could finish his hand was over my mouth stopping the panic that I was blurting out.
"Shut your mouth you idiot." He let his hand hangs at his side once again. "It's my song. It's not for the band, that's all." not another word was said as he put the cases strap over his shoulder to carry it. he then walked over to the desk and grabbed his black lyric book and a pencil shoving both into a pocket which was located on his case. "Now let's go to lunch." He threw his shoes on and walked to open the door.
"But I didn't say anything about lunch yet." I replied as I walked through the door behind my purple haired friend to the elevator.
"Well why else would you stop playing that stupid game?" I shrugged in response and we boarded the elevator to head down to the lobby where we would meet Ash and Drew. "I just want this lunch over with so we can forget them and focus on the tour."
