Well, here's another chapter for all you people who actually decided to read this. I know these first chapters are kinda boring, but we gotta get the boring exposition outta the way before we can have the exciting plot part.
A brown-eyed brunette was walking up to the school dorm building in the bright early morning sunshine, completely oblivious to the world around her, including the small crowd of boys following her. She was wearing a white sunhat, crimson skirt, and mint green t-shirt, along with a pair of very pale green, almost white, leaf-shaped earbuds connected to a green iPod. She was almost dancing down the sidewalk, pulling her suitcase with her yellow messenger bag over her shoulder. She entered, heading for the elevator like three others before her. Noticing the need for a keycard, she quickly got the blank card from her messenger bag and swiped it, then returned it to her bag. Entering the elevator, she looked at the keypad, slightly confused. She reached back into her bag, pulled out a sucker, and pondered over the keypad for less than a second before pulling her card back out. A code had magically appeared on it, and she punched it in to the rhythm of her song. As the elevator headed up to the suite, she unwrapped the sucker and put it in her mouth. She was surprised when the doors opened, as she didn't hear the chime of the elevator's arrival over her music. Quickly stepping out, she grabbed her ID card after spotting it, then looked around the small room she was in. It was a sort of mudroom, and it had five small boxes for mail. There was also a coat closet, big enough to hide two people, and a rack for shoes built into the wall. There were three pairs currently on the rack, implying that three of her roommates had arrived before her. There were a pink pair of stilettos, a purple pair of pumps, and a pair of red ballet flats. Curious, she walked through the open mudroom door, closing it behind her. As it was 7:00 AM on a Saturday, nobody was around for Leaf to see. She shrugged and headed for her room, 31D.
Once she unlocked it, she walked in before taking a look at it while unpacking. The room was painted skillfully so that the sepia brown walls looked like a forest of trees and the forest green along the tops of the walls and on the ceiling looked like a canopy of leaves. Her double bed had a dark cedar frame and a slate gray comforter with a dark olive leaf print on top, making it look like fallen leaves on stone. Her pillows and sheets were a fawn brown, and she had a birch wood nightstand by her bed, where she had a lamp with a camouflage printed lampshade. She set her green, leaf-shaped alarm clock on it, along with a green dock for her iPod. Her window overlooked a small forest in a nearby park, and had silver curtains. The desk was made of sycamore wood, and its handles were silver-plated leaves. The chair was also made of sycamore, and its cushion was varying shades of brown, making it look like sun-dappled earth. The girl set her notebook, journal, and pens on the desk before putting her clothes in the closet, along with her suitcase. She then headed over to the chest, which was made of elm wood and had her name gracefully painted on in chartreuse. After taking the combination lock off, she set the combo, put a large bag into the chest, and locked it up. She stood in the middle of her room, spun around once, then nodded.
Just then, her stomach growled, so she headed to the kitchen. She poured herself a bowl of Fruit Loops, and sat at the counter, still listening to music after all this time. After finishing, she rinsed her dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. She closed the dishwasher and turned around, finding herself face-to-face with a redheaded girl wearing running shorts and a loose t-shirt. They stared at each other for a while before the brunette paused her music and took out her earbuds.
"Who are you?" Misty asked bluntly, tired from the having woken up at 6:00 AM to go on an early morning jog. She had just gotten back, slamming the door quite loudly in the process.
"I'm Leaf Green. My room is number 31D," the brunette said, putting her iPod and headphones in her pocket. "I just arrived this morning."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Misty from room 33D." Misty grinned and shook Leaf's hand. "If our other two roommates are still sleeping, then they must be really heavy sleepers, since I shut the mudroom's door really loud. I'm surprised you didn't notice."
"I guess my music might've been a little too loud." Leaf rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly. Suddenly a sleepy blunette trudged into the room while yawning and rubbing her cobalt-blue eyes, attracting the attention of Misty and Leaf. She walked right past the two girls without noticing them, headed towards the fridge. Reaching in, she pulled out the plastic bottle of apple juice, pouring herself a glass before finally noticing Misty and Leaf, who had been watching her the whole time.
"Good morning," Dawn sighed, obviously half asleep. She hopped onto the counter between Leaf and Misty, still holding the full glass. She quickly does a double-take, seeming slightly more awake now. She then whispers to Misty, "Is it just me, or does May look different now?" causing the other two to giggle.
"I can tell you're not a morning person," Misty said. "Otherwise you'd've noticed that this isn't May."
"Huh?" Dawn looked Leaf up and down again, before intelligently replying to Misty,"I'm pretty sure that's May." This caused another laughing fit at Dawn's expense.
"Actually, my name's Leaf," the brunette informed her after the laughter died down, causing the blunette to blink.
"I could've sworn you were May," Dawn muttered to herself, putting down her juice and adjusting her loose, off-shoulder t-shirt before brushing imaginary crumbs off her pajama pants as an excuse to not look at her roommates.
"Where is this mysterious May? I assume she's our other roommate?" Leaf inquired of them, wanting to meet her other roommate.
"I guess she's still sleeping," Misty stated while Dawn gulped down her glass of juice.
"Must be a really heavy sleeper because one of you slammed the door when you came in," Dawn said crabbily, now mostly awake.
"Sorry about that," Misty apologized. She then glanced down at herself. "I think I'll go take a shower now."
"Next time don't slam the door!" Dawn called after her.
-oOo-
It was now almost noon, and the four girls were all doing something different. Leaf was curled up in one of the two love seats, writing in one of her notebooks while listening (yet again) to her music. Misty was on the floor in front of her, almost done with another set of 100 push-ups. She'd already completed 2 or 3 other sets in her apparent boredom. Dawn was in the kitchen after having run to the grocery store for perishable foods, like common fruits and vegetables, and was now making the girls lunch. May was in her room, (surprisingly) still sleeping. Nobody noticed a brunette woman walk in, smile, and wait to be noticed.
"And… 100!" Misty cried triumphantly.
"Good for you!" Dawn called to her without leaving kitchen. "I think it's your fourth set this morning!"
Misty sighed and sat back on her heels. and reaching for her blue water bottle. She then noticed the woman standing there, then glanced to see if Leaf had noticed her. She obviously hadn't, as she was still writing fervently in her notebook. Misty shook her head.
"LEAF!" she yelled, causing the brown-eyed brunette to look up from her writing towards Misty, confused. Then the woman caught her eye.
"Can we help you?" Leaf asked politely after taking out her earbuds.
"I just came with my crew to finish the suite, and was checking to see if my daughter was awake yet," the woman replied.
"Oh, you mean May? I think she's still asleep," Dawn informed them, having walked in while Mrs. Maple was speaking, carrying a tray with sandwiches and watermelon.
"I should have guessed," she laughed, shaking her head. "I haven't had the pleasure of being introduced to you three yet. I'm May's mother, but you can just call me Caroline."
"I'm Misty Waterflower," the redhead said, shaking Caroline's hand. Leaf and Dawn followed suit, introducing themselves to May's mother as well.
"Now, let's see if I can wake up my daughter," Caroline said, leading the three girls towards May's room.
-oOo-
"Now, I'm going to teach you the secret art of waking up May Maple," Caroline whispered, her electric indigo eyes sparkling humorously. She slightly bent over in a huddle with the three, right outside of May's door.
"Why are we whispering?" Dawn asked innocently, slightly confused.
"To add to the mood," Caroline said, then she quietly counted to three before straightening up and knocking loudly on the door.
"May, honey, breakfast is ready!" she called, causing Leaf, Misty, and Dawn to look at each other, confused. Then they all heard a muffled 'THUMP' from inside of the room, followed by rapid thudding footsteps. Suddenly, the door swung open to reveal May, her loose t-shirt and shorts all wrinkled.
"What's for breakfast?" she demanded excitedly. She then notices her roommates fully dressed behind her mother, causing her face to fall. "I missed breakfast, didn't I?"
"No need to worry, I just finished making lunch!" Dawn told the crestfallen May, causing her to perk up. Dawn then turned to Caroline. "Would you like to join us for lunch?"
"Thank you for offering, but I ate before coming," the woman smiled. "I just came to see if there were any requests for the dormitory. We're finishing up room 30D, an excercise pool, a small library, a drawing room, and two spare rooms in back."
"D'you think you could make one of the spare rooms into a dance studio?" Leaf inquired eagerly. Caroline nodded, and Leaf smiled, genuinely thanking her.
"Is there anything else?" the architect asked, and everyone shook their heads. "Well, I guess I'll be going. My team can't go too long without me. It was wonderful meeting you all!"
"Bye mom!" May called, waving. The other three waved and said goodbye to Caroline as well. Suddenly, May realized something. She turned to the other brunette and asked, "Who are you?"
"Oh! That's right, I'm Leaf Green. I just got here this morning while you were sleeping." Leaf and May shook hands.
"Nice to meet you! I'm starving, so let's go eat lunch!" May exclaimed, leading the way to the food.
So, whaddaya think?
Erza: I think it was severely lacking in romance.
Me: Erza! What are you doing here in a Pokemon fanfiction!? You're from Fairy Tail!
Erza: Natsu told me about it. I was hoping to find some romance.
Me: *sweatdrops* We haven't even introduced any boys yet! How am I supposed to make romance!?
Gray: I think you should just listen to Erza. Otherwise she might get mad...
Me: Oh come on! Now you're in here! Now I might start thinking about Fairy Tail Football again...
Gray: (shirtless) Why were you thinking about that?
Leaf: What's with the shirtless dude?
Gray: Aw crap! How did that happen!
Me: You know, I think I need to tone down my imagination before I imagine Igneel into here.
Natsu: Igneel!? You know where he is!?
Me: *headdesks* I'm just gonna end the chapter here. I'm out. Peace!
