Hi! :)

-Everyone glares accusingly-

Uh...yeah. Sorry I'm a little bit late. It's Spring Break, so I'm not really spending all my time indoors. :) But anyway, chapter 7 is here! :)

And, just to let you know, I made this chapter a little bit longer, just because I made you all wait so long. :)

Also, because I felt like putting it in the chapter today instead of only on my profile :)...

DISCLAIMER: If you've heard of it before reading this story, chances are that I don't own it. I do, however, own my ideas, the plot, any OC's, and my laptop :).

And, since I'm kinda just wasting your time now...

On With The Story!


Azelf looked at the clock again; hoping that either the optometrist would check Uxie's eyes soon, that Becky would go away/stop talking, or that someone would just kill her already. The clock said 4:50; which was about 32 minutes since Dialga estimated that they had 37 ½ minutes until Uxie's eyes got checked, though Azelf didn't know that. All she knew about it was that she and Uxie had been waiting for a rather long time, made even longer by the fact that Crazy Becky was talking to them.

"Yeah, so that's why my mom won't let me stay alone in the house for more then 15 minutes because I almost accidentally burned it down once…" Becky chattered on; making Azelf want even more to make Becky's head explode, to have Uxie wipe her mind, or to steal the tiny amount of willpower that Becky possessed. Whichever one would get her in the least trouble with Arceus; Azelf was so bored and annoyed, she wouldn't be picky about the manner in which Becky died.

-OOOOO-

All the Legendaries, since calmed after the explosion, watched with amusement. They all were all eyeing the screen; which showed the crazy mortal girl talking faster, and on more random subjects, then Mew had ever done in his around 5 billion years. The screen also displayed Uxie and Azelf as her captive audience; and while Uxie seemed to be daydreaming and not paying attention, Azelf's frustration showed plainly on her face.

Everyone was also enjoying the quiet, as Mew and Raikou weren't there to ask annoying questions, or bounce around distractingly. Though, as if responding to that last statement, Articuno suddenly looked up and asked, "Hey, Zapdos? How do you think Moltres is holding up, having to baby-sit Raikou and Mew?"

Zapdos looked away from the screen, mock shock in his eyes. "Wait, what? Articuno, was that you? Are you feeling well? Because I thought I just heard you ask about Moltres. As if you actually cared about what happened to him!"

Articuno defended herself. "Hey, he may be a spoilsport, and a stick-in-the-mud besides, but if he went insane, then I wouldn't be able to pester him any more. And furthermore," she continued. "If he went insane, then we'd both have to deal with a crazy trio-mate!"

Zapdos opened his mouth to say something else, but Lugia chose that moment to step in, and said (in a rather severe tone of voice), "Stop fighting you two." She then looked sternly at them, and continued, "Zapdos is somewhat right, in the fact that normally you wouldn't care, Articuno; and Articuno is right in that there is potential for Moltres to go insane, which we would not like, Zapdos."

Ho-oh yawned, and remarked, "Way to go, Lugia; at the rate that you're stopping your trio from fighting, in a few billion years, nobody will be in any danger from that current under the Orange Islands!"

Lugia glared at him. "What's that supposed to mean!?!"

Ho-oh shrugged, and said, "oh, nothing. Just that my trio doesn't fight like yours, even with all of their differences."

"Why you…"

Celebi sighed as she looked up from the screen herself to watch the phoenix and sea-dragon bicker, indistinctly wondering if they knew that she was being sarcastic when she suggested Mew, Raikou, and Moltres go see whatever had exploded. She observed them for a few moments, sighed again, and returned her attention to Becky annoying Azelf back at the optometrist's.

-OOOOO-

Moltres slapped his forehead and sighed. So far on their expedition to see what had caused the explosion, Mew and Raikou had done many things; including changing back to their Legendary forms, continuing some random, ongoing debate about cheese, and nearly causing more explosions. But now, they were currently twisting random songs to fit the "quest", and were talking (somewhat) like people from fairytales. You know, the ones with knights, castles, and maybe even a fire-breathing dragon or two? Yeah. So, needless to say, Moltres, unlike the other two Legendaries with him, was not having the time of his life.

"We're off to see the explosion, the wonderful explosion of Oz…" Mew sang; He was floating along the path, with Raikou bounding alongside him, and Moltres (still in his human form) following.

Raikou, who was wearing a grin so large that it threatened Giratina's in size, skipped along, until he suddenly stopped, and commented; "This quest, perilous and fraught with danger as it may be, is a merry adventure, truth be told."

Mew paused, and said thoughtfully, "I do believe that you might be right, Sir Raikou. Though," he continued, "'tis too bad that we could not invite Lady Articuno, for the quest would be even more merry if she came along…"

Moltres raised his eyebrows at this, most likely from the fact that they called the lively, fun loving, and all-too-impish Articuno a lady.

Raikou's eyes grew thoughtful, and his grin faded somewhat. "Yes," he agreed. " 'Twould be most enjoyable if Lady Articuno were allowed to grace us with her presence."

"Haha; NO." Both Mew and Raikou turned their heads towards Moltres, who had spoken for the first time since they had embarked on their "quest".

"Having you two along is bad enough, without inviting Articuno!" He argued, glaring at both of the others.

Mew and Raikou exchanged glances; a moment later, they both grinned. "Oh," Raikou stated; his eyes now twinkling merrily. "I see."

"Is someone worried about the fair Lady Articuno, who might perish on this bold, valiant, and dangerous quest if she came?" Mew asked innocently.

"What? No!" Moltres protested.

"So, you won't mind if we yell 'Sir Moltres doesn't care about Lady Articuno' at the top of our lungs, right?"

Moltres sighed. "Why me?"

-OOOOO-

Meanwhile, at the optometrist's, Azelf was about to lose her patience with Becky and Uxie both. Uxie, because he was daydreaming and effectively escaping the living hell she was going through, and Becky, who simply would not shut up.

She sighed, wondering whether the optometrist would finally check Uxie's eyes, so they could leave, and not have to do the penalty that Mespirit would surely assign if they didn't complete the dare.

But even as she thought this, some guy walked out into the waiting area with a clipboard. He had an aura of nervousness about him, like he wasn't sure of himself; which was somewhat proved by what he said.

He stammered, "Er…uh…Sirius Mythos? Erm… y-your eyes will b-be checked now."

Azelf snorted slightly, before asking (somewhat disbelievingly), "Is he serious?"

"No," Uxie responded absentmindedly. "I am."

Azelf looked at him for a moment, lost, before she understood. She rolled her eyes. "That is a horrible pun."

Uxie shrugged. "I know. See you later." He then rose from his chair, and walked toward Stammering Guy.

Azelf gazed over after them for a moment, before returning her eyes to the clock. It then occurred to her that it was now silent for the first time since Becky came and introduced herself to them. She looked over towards the young teen, and noticed that, instead of watching Uxie leave like she herself had been doing, Becky was now looking at her.

"Amazing." Azelf said, sarcasm dripping from the word. "She's silent."

Becky looked somewhat sheepish. "Er, yeah… sorry about that. It's just that… well… I dunno. Normally, I'm rather quiet."

Azelf snorted. Then her face grew somewhat serious. "Yeah, like I'm supposed to believe that after the past… half-hour or so of you talking faster then Mew when he's sugar high."

Becky looked confused. "Who?"

"Nevermind." Azelf said quickly. "The point is," she continued; "I don't believe you."

Becky blushed slightly, looking even more abashed. "Doesn't matter either way. I'm sorry." She paused for a moment, thinking. "But…I think I know something that could… I dunno, make it up, somehow."

There was a quiet pause. "I'm listening."

-OOOOO-

Cheryl, bursting with curiosity, looked up after the footsteps of Stammering Guy and Uxie faded, and after she heard a door close. She set her magazine aside, scanned the room (also noting the unusual amount of customers), and returned the smile and wave that Ben gave her. Then, she casually looked over towards the waiting area; where Becky and Azelf were sitting. She then smiled a slightly devious smile; before turning to her magazine once more.


So... I'm beginning to get a little tired of this question. Did you like it? Because, like always, I want to know. And, like always, I want to thank the (few) people who have reveiwed since the last chapter! Seriously! You reveiwers are what keep me motivated!

And... That's pretty much it. Not much news, as it's been a rather quiet Spring Break.

So, I'm ThE-sUn-Is-ShInInG, and to quote Looney Tunes,

"That's all, Folks!"
