Chapter 8
Everyone was walking to somewhere, with the exception of Rebecca, who was blindfolded and was being steered by Jordan and Connie. Finally, Maya introduced Ash and May to Rebecca.
When they reached their destination, they saw Rose, Katherine, Grace and Rochelle landing.
"I see you found the birthday girl!" greeted Katherine.
"Yup. Come on, return your Pokemon and we can go in."
Four bright red lights returned their Pokemon to their balls, and then they went in.
"Can I take my blindfold of yet?" asked Rebecca.
"Soon. Ash, can you make sure she doesn't do anything stupid or take the blindfold off? Jordan, Connie and I need to get some stuff ready." Requested Maya.
"Sure."
Jordan, Connie and Maya went into a room. They started preparing. First they were all going to sing *song 4*, then Connie was going to sing *song 2* , then Maya was going to sing *song 3* , and finally Jordan was singing *song 1*. Then they all walked on to the stage.
"You can take the blindfold off now, Becks." Said Maya.
Then Jordan started singing.
Jordan, Connie and Maya ended the song.
There was a loud applause. Then Jordan and Maya left the stage. Connie started to sing her song.
Three minutes and seven seconds later…
Connie left the stage and went to sit with her friends below in the auditorium.
Then Maya started singing her favourite song. Well, her favourite song at the time.
Two minutes and 52 seconds later…
Finally Jordan walked onto the stage, and Maya went to sit down in the auditorium.
Then Jordan sang the last line of the song…
Oh oh...
Maya and Connie jumped onto the stage again.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY REBECCA! LET'S WISH REBECCA A HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EVERYONE!"
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday dear Rebecca!
Happy Birthday to you!
Everyone finished singing, then Rebecca opened her presents. From Mikayla, she got a Cherish Ball. "Use it to catch a special Pokemon." Mikayla had said. Jordan got her Everstone, used to stop a Pokemon from evolving if held. Connie got her a box of evolutionary stones, including a Fire Stone, a Water Stone, a Thunder Stone and a Leaf Stone. Maya's present was obviously the mystery orange wrapped gift, the chocolates, her half of the bracelet, and of course the letter 'R', given to Rebecca, who now had a big smile plastered on her face.
Rebecca decided to open the orange present last, and meanwhile she opened her other gifts. When she was does, everyone else watched with anticipation as she unwrapped it. She found a yellow layer or wrapping paper, then a red layer, then an orange. This process was continues until the gift was the length of three centimetres, and the width was once centimetre at the top, and one millimetre at the bottom. When all the wrapping paper was finally removed, Rebecca held in her hands a bobby pin with a garnet shaped like a flower perched on the tip. It sparkled in the sun, and matched her hair perfectly. Rebecca stood up.
"Thank you so much, everyone for all your presents. Would all the people leaving please leave," Rebecca stopped and realised how rude that sounded. "Sorry that sounded so rude, but what I really wanted to say, was could all the people not sleeping over please go?"
Many people left, and only Jordan, Connie, Maya, Ash, May, Rebecca, Katherine, Rose, Grace and Rochelle. Katherine approached Ash and May.
"Are you going to sleep over?"
"Um, if we could, that would be great. But we have to ask our parents, right May?" May?" said Ash.
May had fainted again, at the sound of hearing her favourite singers live. Right there in front of her. And she actually shook their hands! Miraculously, she managed to not faint during the performance and the present opening, but had fainting right after everyone left. Again, it was not long before her eyes were open, and she apologised profoundly.
"Hey, sorry I fainted again. I'd like to sleep over if you won't mind." Apologised May.
Ash nudged her. "We need to ask our parents."
"Oh yeah," said May, rubbing her head sheepishly.
"I'll teleport you there," said Maya. "Be right back guys, hopefully with Ash and May."
Ash, May and Maya walked outside. Maya threw Alakazam's Poke Ball. It was already dark outside, so they would not get lost, Maya asked Alakazam to teleport them; it was 9.00pm. Alakazam teleported the three kids to Ash's house. Ash unlocked the door, and walked in, calling for his mother.
"Mum! Where are you? Can I go to a sleepover with May, Maya and her friends?"
"Ash, dear? Of course you can go! Be careful!" said a figure that appeared.
"Hi Mum, can you get my sleeping bag and my toothbrush? Oh, and some spare clothes?"
"Sure. I'll be right back sweetie!"
Mrs Ketchum disappeared, and then reappeared with a yellow sleeping bag, a plastic bag with clothes and Ash's toothbrush. The sleeping bag bag had a Pikachu motif on it, which please both the Pikachu's immensely.
"Here you go Ash." Said Mrs Ketchum. "Hello May! Hello Maya! Maya, I'd like to thank you for letting Ash come, I knew it wasn't on your schedule, so thanks for agreeing."
"Your welcome Mrs Ketchum, Ash is welcome any time."
With Mrs Ketchum's approval, they departed and teleported to May's house. May knocked on the door. Presently a young boy, about nine opened the door.
"Hi May! Hi Ash!" greeted Max. Then he noticed Maya. "MAYA! It's so nice to see you again! Is that your Pikachu? It's so soft!" exclaimed Max.
Max cuddled Pika, who happily jumped into Max's arms.
"Max, can you go ask Mum to come here? I need to ask her something." Asked May.
Soon Mrs Maple appeared.
"Mum can I go sleep over with Ash, Maya and her friends?" asked May.
"Hi Ash, hi Maya." Said Mrs Maple, looking at the two. "You can go May. Will there be any other boys apart from Ash?"
"MUM!" said an angered May.
"Sorry dear, I need to know." Said Mrs Maple.
"Apart from Ash, there will be my friend Jordan, but you don't need to be afraid of him, Mrs Maple. He's one of the nicest guys on earth. And that's saying a lot, since I've met heaps of guys."
"Thank you, Maya. And please, call me Caroline." Turning to May, she said, "I'll go get you're sleeping bag, your toothbrush and some spare clothes."
Caroline returned with the items, and they teleported back to the auditorium.
Ok, so not really time to party, but the party will be in the next chapter!
