Angels and Fairies Don't Mix Well

Me: *comes in while riding a Chocobo* Hey there everyone!

Kate: where have you been?

Kellyn: what's the giant bird for?

Ashleigh & Kaleb: A CHOCOBO! I want one!

Me: Just went to corral with Random Human to race each other while riding Chocobos for a half hour or so, and I lost each time...

Summer: *walks in* HOLY CRAP! A CHOCOBO!

Keith: what game is that from again?

Karrie: *shrugs*

Ashleigh, Kaleb, Summer, & Me: only from one of the best series of games ever made!

Kellyn: huh? But I don't recall seeing those in any of my video games...

Me: shame on you Kel!

Ashleigh: Final Fantasy of course!

Kaleb: *nods*

Summer: it's awesome

Kellyn: hm, I'll have to play it sometime...

Me: yes you do

Ben: *walks in* awesome Chocobo Ash

Me: thank you =D

Kate: you were riding Chocobos with Random Human because?

Me: we both discovered we share a love and favoritism of Chocobos

Kate: Chocobos are rather cute

Me: I'd ride these over horses any day and I'm not a fan of most birds!

Kellyn: okay, pokelover0ash only owns her OCs, nothing else.

Karrie: and so we begin a new chapter of the story!


Chapter 7

~at three o'clock in the morning~

"Time for your morning stroll for the week," Karrie whispered as she woke Kate up by using a flame that wouldn't hurt her friend. "You should really be doing this every day."

"I've been trying," Kate replied as she got up. Kate got changed and noticed that Summer had already gone off on her daily walk. Kate goes on stroll every other day if she can, but regularly does at least one weekly. She sneaked out the window and climbed down a vine. Karrie was in her pocket being squished from Kate's movements, but she made no complaints.

Kate was rather surprised that her guardian angel hasn't discovered that she goes on morning strolls practically by herself.

~Kate's P.O.V.~

I released some of my energy into the vines to make them stronger before going on my walk. For the past couple of walks, I've felt like I was being watched and followed. It's creepy, though I do have a little friend in my pocket who kick practically anyone's butt if she's mad enough.

When I walked towards the west side of the school yard by the forest, I released some pent up energy as fire. My powers have gradually become stronger and more diverse as I got older. Isaac has been examining our DNA for a few years and he was actually the three fairies' extra eyes and brain when they came to rescue us seven years ago. I was almost done, I just have to release some electricity and I should be good.

A branch snapped as I released some electricity and I turned around with my heart racing. Was I seen?

"W-Who's there?" I asked as I prepared an electric attack.

"Relax, it's me," replied a familiar voice. The person stepped in the light and I saw the red hair shine in the light. It was Keith. I let out my breath and discharged the electricity into the air.

"Keith," I said.

"Normally I can follow you without stepping on a branch," Keith replied. "How the heck Sparkles can watch you and not slip up is beyond me."

"K-Kellyn follows me too?" I asked. "Wait, why are my guardians following me like they're stalkers or something?"

"Yeah, he's been doing it longer than I have," Keith replied. "We're just trying to watch out for you while you do your own thing."

"Where's Kellyn then?" I asked.

"Yo! Sparkles! You can come out, wherever you are," Keith said rather loudly.

"You're obnoxiously loud, Pigeon," Kellyn said and then I looked towards the source of the voice which was a thick, tall oak tree.

"He's a tree?" I asked. Keith tried to hold back his laughter and was failing epically at it.

"No, look down," Kellyn replied and I did as I was told. There was tiny fairy Kellyn. I must surpress the urge to squeal. I knelt down and then started to squeeze his cheeks. Though he was probably annoyed, he didn't do anything to stop me.

"You're the cutest stalker ever," I said before giggling.

"I'm not a stalker and that hurts!" Kellyn replied. I let go and he started to rub his cheeks.

"So do you know if Nema's been out with Summer on her strolls?" Keith asked after he finished laughing.

"Yeah, and it's been mentioned to me that Ben comes with her too," I replied. Ashleigh mentioned it to me, but I can't tell Keith or Kellyn about Ashleigh. Keith nodded and I picked Kellyn up and held him close to me since it was getting cold out. He almost immediately rose his body temperature like Karrie does for me during the winter. "I'm done with my routine." Keith nodded. We walked silently to the vines and Kellyn, in his human form, along with Keith assisted me up part of the vines. "See you later, boys." I went into my room where Nema and Summer were passed out on one of the beds. I shut the window and took Karrie out of my pocket. "Okay Kare, we have about two hours to sleep." Karrie nodded and I quickly fell asleep on my bed.

~Kellyn's P.O.V.~

Why does being called cute by Kate make my heart beat quickly and butterflies to enter my stomach?

I walked with Keith to the window that is our entrance and exit to our room. I transformed so I'd have wings and Keith turned into his true self with the white wings and all. We flew into our room and quickly changed back to our human forms. Ben was passed out on his bed and Kaleb was still fast asleep. We both went to our respective beds.

"You like her, don't you?" Keith asked.

"She's a friend and," I started to answer but Keith started to finished my sentence with me.

"And she's our assignment," Keith finished. "I know." This is the most we have talked without hurling insults at each other. "What is the punishment for fairies if they fall in love with a human?"

"We're supposed to be shunned by other fairies and banned from our villages," I replied. "But we don't always follow the rules, if you haven't noticed. Feelings, friendship, morals, and family come before duty and rules for us fairies. I forget what the punishment is for fairies falling in love with an angel, but that's probably because that has never happened before."

"Fairies are lucky in that area then," Keith said. "Angels have either their wings clipped or their existence is erased."

"That's a little harsh, then again, angels have always put duty and rules first and hearts last," I replied.

"I kind of wish that Benny was a fairy since I think he may be developing feelings for Summer and he's like a brother to me," Keith said and I nodded.

"By the way, why do you call Kaleb 'Grumpy' anyways?" I asked after a moment of silence.

"I dunno, I needed a nickname to call him and it popped up," Keith replied. "But I think I might call him Sunshine just to get him mad." I snickered.

"Yeah, that would do it," I replied. We gave each other a knuckle bump and smiled. I think I can consider Pigeon a best friend now.

~later in the morning~

~Kaleb's P.O.V.~

I woke up and yawned as I sat up in my bed. I stretched and turned to get out of bed.

"Good morning Sunshine," I heard Keith say. I snapped my eyes open. Though this nickname is better than being called grumpy, seriously?! Sunshine?!

"Keith," I replied in angry, low, warning tone. Kellyn was cracking up laughing while Keith was smiling that big idiotic grin of his. Wait, when were those to on such good terms with each other.

"We have Outdoor Class today, Sunshine, better get moving," Keith said and Ben woke up while wondering what in the world was going on. I got changed and so did Ben. We exited the dorms with Isaac and Ponte and, hopefully, I won't murder Keith today.

~Normal P.O.V.~

"Ack! We're going to be late!" Kate exclaimed as she ran down the stairs with Summer, Rhythmi, and Nema. They bumped into Kellyn, Keith, Kaleb, Ben, Isaac, and Ponte who were with Ms. April and the rest of the classes which meant Mr. Kincaid was there. Hopefully he won't give his hallway lecture. The girls got away without a lecture and they headed to Ascension Square all together.

"I have tons of questions to ask the ranger!" Keith exclaimed.

"Too bad you can only ask one of them, Pigeon," Kellyn replied. They got to the Pledge Stone and standing there was an Area Ranger who graduated from the school two years ago.

"It's Justin!" Summer and Kate exclaimed. The two girls ran up to the teenager and Kate hugged him.

"Hey Katie," Justin replied as he ruffled Kate's hair.

"So, what do you think their relationship is Sparkles?" Keith asked as he rested his elbow on Kellyn's shoulder which looked really awkward since Kellyn is taller than Keith.

"Not harmful," Kellyn replied quietly.

"Hey, Rhythmi, Isaac, Ponte! You remember Justin, right?" Kate asked.

"Yes, it's been awhile," Rhythmi replied and Isaac nodded with Ponte.

"Hey, Kellyn, Keith, Nema, Ben!" Kate shouted. "I want you to meet my big brother Justin!" Keith and Kellyn were shocked, though Kellyn was a bit relieved for reasons he didn't know. They all walked over and Kate introduced each one of her new friends to her brother. "So, when are you becoming a Top Ranger?"

"I'm not sure, but the rank isn't what matters, you said that yourself, remember?" Justin said. Kate nodded.

"You're right," Kate replied. "You know I was just teasing you about the Top Ranger thing just now, right?" Justin nodded.

"Okay, everyone settle down and take a seat around Justin in a circle," Ms. April said. Mr. Lamont was present for the class as well.

"Justin Wilder is an excellent role model for every one of you," Mr. Lamont said. "He was an A student and rarely got in trouble." Justin blushed from embarrassment as he scratched the back of his head.

"Well, I'm glad they didn't send Crawford this time," Mr. Kincaid said.

"His afro scares me," Ms. April replied.

"Ahem," Justin said. "I suppose we should start the famous 'Questions & Answers Session of Terror'?"

"Oh yes, but there are a few things you need to say, or teach," Mr. Lamont replied. Justin sweat dropped.

"I forgot about that," Justin replied. He turned to the students and a Pikachu jumped up on his shoulder. "This is Sparky, my Partner Pokemon. You can have one Partner Pokemon accompany you at a time." Suddenly, three Pokemon came out of hiding which were Squirtle, Treecko, and Combee. "You can also have Friend Pokemon. The number of Friend Pokemon you can have with you depends on your rank. Friend Pokemon can help you with captures or with performing Target Clears. They go away after they help you though. Now, for the Question and Answer Session of Terror."

"Raise your hands if you have any questions for Justin," Ms. April said. A bunch of hands went up.

"Um, you, the girl with long black hair," Justin said.

"Is it true that in the Ranger Base you have to sleep in the same room as the opposite gender?" the girl asked.

"Ah, good question," Justin replied. "It depends on the gender of the Ranger you're partnered up with and the room arrangement available for you in the base you're stationed in. Operators and Mechanics either share a room with those of the same position as them or have their own room. Next question, the boy with the cool round glasses."

"What is the hardest Pokemon to catch?" the boy asked.

"It depends on who you ask," Justin replied. "Solana once told me that big Pokemon like Steelix are the hardest to catch while Lunick say Psychic types are the hardest since they can move instantly when you're trying to catch them. Crawford and I both find that Ghost types are pretty tricky when it comes to catching them."

"Okay," the boy replied.

"Next question," Justin said.

"Is being a Ranger fun?" a girl asked.

"You bet!" Justin replied.

"What made you want to become a Ranger?" A boy asked.

"I wanted to help people and Pokemon and when I first met some Rangers, I knew that being a Ranger was just what I wanted to be." Justin replied.

"Do you have a crush on anyone?" a girl asked. Justin's face became painted red.

"N-No," Justin replied. "Next question!"

"Have you done anything embarrassing?" a boy asked.

"I've done lots of embarrassing things," Justin replied. "A lot of them had to do with some meddling on my baby sister's part."

"Aw, you don't give yourself enough credit bro!" Kate replied. "Remember that time when you chased after me with only your boxers on in the middle of winter in the middle of the streets of Virdian City?" Justin turned red while the class laughed. "Or the time you try to catch a girl with a pokeball in Johto because she was dressed up as a Pikachu?"

"And what about the time you mistaken a Jigglypuff for a ball and tried to use it to play soccer with it?" Justin asked and Kate turned red.

"Ahem, enough personal questions," Mr. Lamont said and Justin nodded.

"Oh! Oh! Pick me!" Rhythmi said.

"Yes, Rhyth?" Justin asked.

"Do you think I'll become an Operator?" Rhythmi asked.

"What am I? A fortune teller?" Justin asked.

"I think you've mistaken him for someone else, he's a Ranger, not a fortune teller," Keith said.

"Well?" Rhythmi asked after punching Keith in the leg.

"Um, I'm sure you'll become a great Operator!" Justin replied and then Ms. April coughed. "But remember to keep up on your studies!"

"Oh, a real Ranger told me I'll become a great Operator!" Rhythmi exclaimed, making her friends sweat drop.

"Hey, what about me?" Keith asked. "Do you think I'll become a great ranger?"

"Now, aren't you confusing me/him as a fortune teller too?" Kellyn, Kate, and Justin asked.

"Oops," Keith replied. "Could you tell me your opinion anyways?" Justin nodded.

"I think you'll become a great ranger, you have great spirit and determination, but something tells me you need to make sure you think before you act a little more often and that rashness might cause a few problems later on," Justin replied. "You remind me a bit of Crawford and Lunick."

"Hey Justin, are there any signs of their being another organization causing problems like the Go-Go Squad did four years ago?" Ben asked.

"There will always be bad guys around and we Rangers have been trying our hardest to put a stop to any crime we find," Justin replied.

"Okay, I think that should be enough for now," Ms. April said. "Justin will be here all day unless he gets called off for a mission." Most of the class left with Ms. April, Mr. Kincaid, and Mr. Lamont. Kate, Summer, Kellyn, Keith, Rhythmi, Kaleb, Nema, Isaac, Ben, and Ponte stayed behind.

"So, do I have to worry about one of your new friends being your boyfriend, Katie?" Justin asked. Kate turned red and Rhythmi started to laugh with Summer. Keith was snickering, Kellyn didn't know how to react, Kaleb was shaking his head, Ben was confused along with Nema, Isaac was trying to figure out what motive Justin had for asking that question, and Ponte was smiling.

"I DON'T HAVE A BOYFRIEND!" Kate replied.

"Okay, okay," Justin replied as he rubbed the top of his sister's head. "I believe you."

~with the fairies~

Karrie, Ashleigh, Kiwi, Laurie, and Todd were hanging out by the backside of Janice's house when a fairy started to fly over who was dressed in a pink sweatshirt and black pants. Ashleigh noticed the newcomer first and flew as fast she could to the fairy.

"Erica! Erica! Erica! Erica's here!" Ashleigh exclaimed before finally being able to hug her.

"Oof! Hey Ashleigh, missed you too," the fairy replied. This fairy is Erica, an earth fairy who is about a year older than Ashleigh and is one of the water fairy's best friends.

"I finally remembered the dude's name!" Karrie suddenly exclaimed. "It's Justin!" Kiwi sweat dropped along with Laurie and Todd.

"How have you been?" Ashleigh asked.

"Good," Erica replied. "It's been a little busy lately and I think Justin's going to be getting his promotion letter soon. Crime rates keep going up lately and he keeps on getting injured."

"You liiiiike him," Kiwi said and Erica blushed.

"Well, um," Erica replied. "Yeah, I do." The fairies were shocked that she actually admitted that she liked a human. Luckily, the fairy community by the school is more of a renegade group of fairies from all over the globe that are viewed as a group of misfits. "What?"

"I'm just surprised that you admitted it," Kiwi and Ashleigh replied.

"I thought you were going to deny it," Karrie replied.

"I have trouble lying and you know it," Erica said and Ashleigh nodded.

"She's right," Ashleigh replied.

"So, is there anything I missed?" Erica asked.

"We have a total of three angels on the premise," Karrie replied.

"And two new fairies who are assigned to be Kate and Summer's guardians by the higher ups," Ashleigh added.

"One of them is my brother!" Kiwi added.

"Mr. Lamont's an angel, Keith, the redhead, is an angel, and the boy with the gravity defying brown hair is Ben and he is an angel," Laurie explained. "Nema's Summer's guardian fairy and is a mechanic fairy while Kellyn, the guy with the Buizel hair, is Kate's guardian fairy and he's an elemental." Erica nodded.

"Cool," Erica replied.

"Now, do you want the latest gossip?" Kiwi asked and Karrie whacked herself in the forehead while Ashleigh and Erica sweat dropped.

"I thought I told you that not everyone wants to hear gossip," Karrie replied.

"But sometimes it helps," Kiwi replied. Karrie just shrugged in response.

"I don't really want to hear gossip unless it concerns me," Erica replied.

"Fine," Kiwi replied.

"When are you leaving Erica?" Ashleigh asked.

"After lunch," Erica replied.

"Why don't you girls, and guy, catch up inside where you have more seats?" Yellow asked as she finished sweeping a doorstep. "You can have drinks and food in there too."

"Thank you, Yellow," the fairies replied before taking her advice.
