We meet again :)
hi hi! here is chappie 4 and i have made it slightly longer this time :D i hope its a good length!
Thankyou so much for all the reviews! i really appreciate it!
The same song from chapter 1 is here once again...although a little more is revealed...lets see if anyone can figure it out this time ^-~
any mistakes, let me know please :)
Here we go...
"Hey guys, why don't you sit down?" Misty asked curiously, gesturing to the two empty seats in between Gary and Drew.
"Why is HE here?"
Leaf and May glared daggers at the two boys sitting either side of them. Misty had forced them into the seats and they were now next to the boys that they severely disliked. Dawn and Ash had moved to a separate table where they were talking about Ash's new song idea and trying to make up some new words and Misty was talking to Paul and amazingly getting some response from him.
"What? No 'hi' for me?" May ignored the green haired boy and turned to face Leaf
"Leaf, did you hear something? I thought a heard an annoyingly squeaky sound"
"Nope, not a thing"
Drew sweat dropped and glared while Gary threw his head back and began laughing. However his laughing fit was cut short when Leaf spoke again "come on May, let's go...I need to go to the bathroom" both girls began to stand up when Gary grabbed Leaf's wrist and Drew grabbed May's.
"Who said you guys could leave" Drew asked while flipping his hair
"I did" May glowered "I don't have to sit here and listen to some stupid pretty boy that's probably a closet gay, go on about how amazing he thinks he is, so let go of my hand" Drew chose to ignore the pretty boy comment and stood up to face her. He towered over her so May was forced to look up
"I am not gay" his voice was deadly yet seductive at the same time but May kept a straight face
"Wow...could've fooled me"
"Anything can fool you...that's why you're such an airhead" Drew flipped his hair once more and smirked while May fumed
"You-you jerk!" she screeched but then lowered her voice for fear of people staring "you stupid inconsiderate jerk!"
"I'm a jerk but you're an airhead that likes to walk around in her lingerie at night...you can't get much lamer that that"
May blushed a deep red, "You pervert! It wasn't my fault! Leaf dared me! And at least my hair is normal and not some disgusting green that looks like a cabbage!"
"My hair is sexy! Besides calling my hair not normal is just insulting your friend Dawn" he gestured to the bluenette sitting next to Ash, both off in their own little world as they scribbled down notes on paper and just talked about random things "After all..Her hair is blue
"Dawn's hair is beautiful, and she looks great with it" May retorted "you on the other hand...look like a grass stain" Drew's eyes popped open at the insult that had left him almost speechless
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me...you look like a disgusting grass stain" she smirked as Drew's eyes narrowed "I really do wonder how people liked you back when you were famous"
"Hey! we still are famous!" Drew and May turned to face Gary who had intercepted into their 'conversation'
"It's rude to eavesdrop Gary...haven't you ever heard?" Leaf scolded "and you're wrong...I hardly see you as famous anymore...I mean, when was the last time you guys performed on stage?"
"Shutup Green...We're still plenty famous and as for performing on stage...we haven't 'cause we don't have a new song yet and as you can see, Ash is working on that right now" He pointed to his raven haired band member who seemed to be reading the words on the paper.
"We'll have a new song soon and then we'll be back on top" Drew stated matter-of-factly
"Yeah~ and that song will be co-written by our best friend...why are you here anyway...we were only supposed to meet Ash...not you" May glared
"What? You didn't wanna meet me?" May shook her head at Drew's question and gave him a look that said 'why would I want to meet you'."You cut me deep May" Drew put his hand to his heart for dramatic effect but May just rolled her eyes and walked towards the bathroom with Leaf in tow.
"This isn't working Drew!" Gary grumbled "We're supposed to make them like us not hate us!"
"I can't help it...its just way too much fun to annoy her besides, it'll ruin my image if i start acting all 'lovey dovey' to her...plus, you and Leaf don't seem to be on any better terms than May and I"
"That's not the point!" Gary reasoned, trying to steer away from the fact that he was failing to, "We need to try and make them like us...Dawn's helping Ash with songs so as soon as we get a whole song done, we can stop...easy"
"Alright...fine" Drew sat back down before looking back at Ash and Dawn. Ash was smiling goofily and Dawn had a slight blush dusted across her cheeks "at least those two are getting along well" Gary nodded and then turned to face Misty and Paul who were also locked into a random conversation
"I honestly had no idea there was someone out there who could keep Paul in a conversation for that long"
"I know right...guess there's a first time for everything" Both boys stopped what they were doing to look up at May and Leaf that were coming out of the bathroom, hand in hand and laughing with each other. Drew and Gary shared a secret smile as Gary whispered
"Time for plan B"
"This is hopeless!" Ash cried out in frustration "I hate writer's block and it just won't go away"
"Relax Ash, just show me what you've got and I'll try and help you okay?" Dawn smiled while taking a sip of her creamy hot chocolate. Ash sighed and handed her the almost blank paper...the only thing written was six words. Dawn scanned over the paper and smiled
"It sucks doesn't it?"
"No, no Ash, it's actually pretty good...but don't make it your opening lines, maybe a few others before it"
"I can't take it anymore! I'm seriously going to jump up and go psycho soon!" he put his head in his hands in despair while being careful not to knock over his Latte...his career was as good as over. "I hate writer's block!"
"That's it!" Ash looked up at the bluenette infront of him and raised an eyebrow in confusion
"What's it? I hate writer's block?"
"No silly!" she quickly scribbled down some words and handed the paper to Ash. He took the paper and read over it, his frustrated expression suddenly changing to that of an overjoyed one
"Dawn! You're a genius!" He softly sung the words out to himself as if imagining the beat of the song
'You gon' jump up in the air and go psycho~
'yeah, yeah, yeah, baby take it to the floor'
"That's perfect for an opening! Dawn you are a life saver!" she giggled at his praise
"Not really, infact the words pretty much came from your actions" Ash put a hand to the back of his head and chuckled nervously
"Eheh...yeah~"
"Alright let's keep going! The sooner we go through this, the quicker we'll finish and the quicker you'll be able to make a comeback with your group" Dawn encouraged and Ash nodded "So, what do you think would go with 'take it to the floor'? The song should be something about dancing and partying so um~"
"How about 'baby you ain't gonna get it if you're standing on the wall', How does that sound?"
"Awesome! See Ash...you can do just fine without me, I don't know why you think you've lost your touch" Ash gave a goofy smile at her compliment
"Thanks Dawn, you're really being a great help; and a great friend" A light blush dusted her cheeks as she too smiled
"No need to worry, I'll always be here to help, all you have to do is call and I'll be right there" They shared another smile before they got back to work.
"Leaf, that stupid Drew is such a jerk! He's so full of himself, I swear I just wanna take all that ego of his and shove it up his a-"
"Alright I get it, chill" Leaf put a comforting shoulder on her brunette best friend "It's not like Gary's any less...stupid idiot thinks he's so cool"
The two girls were currently in the bathroom leaning against the sinks, well, May was leaning against the sink while Leaf was sitting up in the space between each sink.
"Why just us though? I mean Drew's never so rude to anyone else...just me, and Gary doesn't act this high and mighty with anyone else but you"
"I guess they just have it in for us...probably because we're the only two, asides from Dawn and Misty, who don't go 'gaga' over them" Leaf rolled her eyes at the thought of every single girl at 'Mesprit Academy', excluding her and her friends, who would go crazy for the four boys. Out of all four, Gary and Drew were the ones who would milk it the most.
"Come on, let's go, we've been in here for a while and Misty will probably come looking for us soon...Dawn's too busy helping Ash write a song" May took Leafs hand and helped her off the sink
"Those two really seem to be hitting it off...it's good though, I want Dawn to be happy"
"Mmhmm and I know for a fact that Ash is nothing like Drew and Gary, he's very kind and I know that he'll keep Dawn happy" May agreed
"So looks like we'll have to execute plan GAADT" Leaf stated proudly
"GAADT?" May raised an eyebrow
"Get Ash and Dawn Together...duh!" Leaf rolled her eyes playfully as May's mouth turned into an 'o' of realisation.
"Well for that, we're going to have to get closer to the other guys and spend more time with them...which really sucks" May grumbled but sighed "but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make for Dawn"
Leaf smiled and nodded in agreement "Dawn's special, we're gonna have to tell Misty about the plan too"
"Yup, so let's go!" May grabbed Leaf's hand and both walked out of the bathroom laughing about how cute Dawn and Ash were and how they would make their 'little scheme' work
May and Leaf returned to their table where Gary and Drew seemed to have apologetic expressions
"Hey guys, we just wanted to say sorry" Gary began, causing Leaf to raise an eyebrow in suspicion
"Oh, really now?"
"Yeah" Drew continued "We feel bad for always riling you guys up, especially me May" he turned to face her, looking genuinely sorry "how about we start over?"
Gary extended his hand forward as means of a truce and Drew followed his example "We can be friends now instead of arguing when in each other's presence"
Leaf and May shared a glance, clearly not believing a word they said, but this was the chance they needed to help Dawn. Both girls smiled and extended their hands forward, accepting the apology
"Alright" May started
"We'll forgive you" Leaf continued "But you have to promise to stop annoying us and actually be our friends" both boys nodded in understanding and Drew spoke up
"Done...how about we order something, I mean we are in a cafe" The girls and Gary nodded, looking through the drinks list before calling over a waiter and ordering. Gary ordered a Cappuccino while May and Leaf ordered Caramel Lattes and Drew ordered a Cafe Latte.
"So, what've you girls been up to in the past two years?" May looked up to face Drew who had asked the question
"Not much really...just studying...after all, this was our final year" Leaf nodded
"Yeah, we didn't really do anything...asides from May getting a boyfriend nothing int-"
"Boyfriend?" Drew interrupted suddenly "You have a boyfriend?" he sounded somewhat annoyed
"Yeah" May smiled "and Brendan is pretty cool, he's a bit possessive, but he really cares about me" she shrugged nonchalantly before changing the subject and Drew seemed to tense slightly "So how about you? What have you guys been up to? I mean after you became all famous"
"Not much...I mean, we got home schooled after we left 'Azelf Academy' so pretty much the same as you guys, except we did concerts and made songs too" Gary answered
"What happened to Ash though? Why'd he get writer's block?" Gary and Drew shrugged
"Dunno, after our last concert he tried to write new songs, but somehow he just couldn't and if Ash can't write a song then we can't do anything" Drew replied
"Right, 'cause Drew here makes the music after Ash makes the words and Paul and I do the touch ups...so without Ash we can't do anything" The girls nodded in understanding, feeling sympathy towards the raven haired boy as the fate of the group pretty much relied on him.
"Speaking of Paul, I never knew he was so talkative" Drew said while staring at Paul curiously. The others turned to face Paul and Misty who seemed to be locked in some sort of conversation
"That's weird...and very 'un-Paul like' and I must ask what Misty has done to him" Leaf giggled at Gary's question
"I have no clue"
Misty and Paul suddenly turned to look at the group of four, most likely noticing the stares they were getting. Misty looked confused while Paul glared and the quartet quickly turned away and back to what they were originally doing.
"So Paul" Misty decided to start a conversation
"Hn"
"You're a trainer right?"
"Yep"
"And you use all different types of Pokémon?"
"Yep"
"Have you won a league yet?"
"Nope" Misty glared...she was going to get more than one-word responses from him
"Have you tried the Kanto league yet?"
"Nope"
"Well you should, I'm the Cerulean City gym leader and from what I've heard, you'll be a good opponent" Paul finally turned to face her
"A gym leader huh?"
"Mmhmm" Misty nodded " Back when we were younger I never told you did I? Before my sisters sent me to 'Mesprit Academy' I took the job of being the gym leader and when we have vacations I take over the role again temporarily"
"What kind of gym is it?"
"It's a water type, that's why I pretty much only have water-type pokémon" Paul snorted at this
"How can you expect to win with only one type of pokémon? You're better off with a variety to ensure you won't have a type disadvantage"
"I'll have you know, out of all of the trainer's that challenged me, only three" she held up three fingers as if to add effect "have managed to defeat me in their first try...all the others have to rechallenge me at least once or twice before they can win a badge from me...and I was only ten at the time remember?"
Paul glanced at the proud girl's expression "Really now?" he smirked "well you sound like my kind of challenge"
"I'd love to battle you if we ever get the chance" she smiled sweetly as Paul gave his own ghost of a smile
"I'll take you up on that soon" Misty reached towards her mocha while Paul reached for his own Black coffee when she noticed the stares of May, Leaf, Drew and Gary on her and Paul.
"Why are they staring at us?" Paul looked up from his drink at the red-head's question and gave a glare to his two group members
"I think I know why" instantly the four turned away and went back to what they were doing and the plum-headed teenager rolled his eyes before taking a sip of his coffee and then turning back to Misty to continue their conversation
"Well Ash, we've gotten most of the song done" Dawn smiled sweetly
"Yeah! We even managed to get a solo in for all of us, so I guess from here we can just put in the chorus again and have an instrumental part that Drew will figure out?"
"Sounds good" she quickly scribbled down the final few words and handed the paper back to Ash "Well, looks like we're done" Ash took the paper gratefully before jumping in the air
"FINALLY! A NEW SONG! IT'S FINISHED!" He enveloped Dawn into a tight hug and she blushed
"OH MY GOSH IT'S G-PAD!" A squeal erupted from a corner of the cafe and Ash instantly let go of Dawn as his eyes widened at his mistake
"Oops"
"Ash! You idiot!" Gary yelled as people began to swarm around the group of eight
"My bad!"
"GARY I LOVE YOU!"
"DREW MARRY ME!"
"ASH SIGN MY HEART!"
"PAUL YOU'RE SO SEXY!"
"Guy's let's get out of here!" Drew's voice was hasty as he grabbed May's hand and ran out the door of the cafe, closely followed by Gary, Leaf, Paul and Misty. Ash and Dawn were also about to leave when someone grabbed the back of Dawn's jacket
"Ah!" she yelled in surprise when she was pulled back
"GIMME THAT JACKET!" Dawn turned towards the source of the noise and raised an eyebrow at the brunette girl
"Excuse me?"
"I said give me the jacket!"
"What! Why should I?"
"Because!" the girl rolled her eyes as if it was obvious "Ash touched that jacket which means I have to have it! So GIVE IT" she yanked the jacket off of Dawn and began to take it when Dawn grabbed a corner and pulled it back towards her
"Give me back my jacket! I paid a lot of money for this thing and I am not giving it up that easily!"
"Oh really?" the girl also pulled on it "well if you spent a lot of money on it then I'm sure you can spend a little more and get a new one 'cause this is MINE!"
"No way! This is a 'Stella McCartney' original and I'm not letting some stupid, spoilt brat fan girl take it from me just because it was touched by a famous guy!" Dawn screamed pulled harder on it but the girl refused to let go
"Well I am Melody! And Melody always get's what she wants so let go!" the girl, Melody, tugged harder and the jacket was being strained from the amount of stretching between both girls
"You're going to rip the seams! You bitch!" Dawn exclaimed in horror. She lifted up a foot and kicked Melody's knee, causing her to fall back and incidentally let go of the bluenette's jacket. Dawn began to wobble slightly but managed to keep her balance, thanking her many years of ballet for paying off. She held the jacket in the air with her left hand proudly
"Thank you ballet!-Eep!" she squealed as she felt a hand grab her from the crowd and pull her out of the cafe. Dawn slumped to the floor as soon as she was outside and could breathe in fresh air
"Dawn? Are you alright?" the bluenette turned to the source of the voice and smiled at Ash's chocolate brown eyes that were looking back at her worriedly. She drew out a relieved sigh and smiled weakly before glaring
"I'm fine, but that stupid bitch, Melody stretched out my jacket!" a whine was visible in her voice and Ash smiled at her child-like behaviour, helping her off the ground "She ripped a few seams too!"
"Don't worry, I'll get it fixed for you, I know someone"
"Thanks" Dawn took his hand gratefully and smiled as they began to walk down the side-walk.
"I'm sorry about the giant swarm of people, the cafe usually isn't that crowded and the owner knows us so I'm surprised he let that many people in"
"It's alright Ash, it's not your fault and it's not the owner's either, he needs to make a living too"
"Yeah I guess" Ash suddenly pulled Dawn into an alley-way, pinning her up against the brick wall and started to lean in slowly
"W-what are you doing" Dawn stuttered as her face blushed a bright red "A-Ash?"
hmmm...i wonder what Ash is going to do...ehh not really actually, cuz i know XD but i hope you're all wondering :)
