Gary's Pov
Today was Friday, the day after we learned about some of Leaf's past.
She did say that what she told us was just some of her past. If she has more, I hope it isn't as horrible as LTS. I feel really bad for forcing her to tell us that. It obviously shook her up badly. I can't imagine my grandfather or Daisy dealing with that..
Wait. Why don't I ask them more about LTS?
I quickly got up, passing by the clock which read 4:00 PM.
I still remember what happened earlier in school..
Flashback
"I'm a sexy person~"
"Drew! Stop dancing in the middle of the halls!"
"Teachers got nothing on me! I'll be dancing till 3!"
"DETENTION!"
"Ms Cynthia is just so jelly."
"HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT!"
"I'm going to dance until I need to-"
"That's enough!"
END
It was pretty funny, seeing Drew dance like that. Apparently May and Drew betted. Something about who could go longer without chips. Surprisingly May won, and she dared Drew to dance in the halls with a bikini on. Good blackmail for later.
I walked up to my grandfather, who was studying different types of fossils. "Hey Gramps." "hello Gary. What is it?" I sighed, sitting in the chair in front of his desk. "I wanna learn about LTS." His eyes widened as he stared at me in shock. ""L-LTS?! That disease?" I nodded. "Why would you want to know about that?" "Because we are learning about it in class." I lied. Hopefully he wouldn't notice my lie.
"Fine, here." He handed me a book, and I took it. I quickly sat on the sofa, reading it.
LTS, or Lavender Town Syndrome. There is no cure for it, and no one knows how it is caused. We have found out that some symptoms include: Coughing up blood, having trouble breathing, having trouble eating. My eyes widened. Leaf could have this?!
She was having trouble breathing, eating, and coughed up blood once or twice! Oh my.. what if she does have it?!
I face palmed. "Calm down.. Just because these are the symptoms doesn't mean she could have it!" I grumbled. Daisy giggled, smiling as she looked at me. "Are you okay? You seem scared." I rolled my eyes, "Daisy, I just didn't know that a sickness like this existed." "Uh huh.." She walked away.
I started reading more of the book. LTS can only happen to people born in Lavender Town. Many have reported that it happens in Soul Tower. Many have done research on the brains of victims, but we were not able to find the cause. I sighed, this wasn't helpful at all!
I walked to my room, sighing as I sat at my desk, turning the laptop on. Something fell out of my pocket, and I noticed it was Leaf's diary. "Great, I forgot to give her diary to her." I mumbled, sighing as I picked it up. I typed in LTS on google, watching many websites appear, but one caught my eye out of them all.
Donate today to help find a cure for LTS!
I smiled. At least some people in this world cared. I quickly looked at the website, sighing. "GRAMPS!" "YEAH?" "I'M TAKING OUT 500 DOLLARS!" "WAIT, WHAT?!" I smiled, putting the information in and donating the money.
I'm doing this for Leafy..
~Time Skipz~
"I'm ready to win this football game!" Drew said, smirking.
"Whatever you say, bikini boy." Paul grumbled, watching Drew's face go red in embarrassment. "IT WAS A DARE! STOP MAKING FUN OF ME!" We laughed, as Drew ranted. May smiled happily. "I'm very proud of you Drew." He stopped ranting, sighing as he hid his face. Leaf walked next to me, skipping and humming.
"You seem to be in a good mood." I said, which she smiled at me for. "Yup! I'm going to cheer for Dawn!" Dawn smiled softly, sighing. "I'm somewhat nervous. I'm worried I might mess up." "Don't worry Dawn. We believe in you." May said happily. She nodded, sighing as Leaf cheered her name over and over.
I opened the door for Leaf, letting her in before closing it on Ash. "Hey!" I smirked, Ash grumbling about how rude I am. "Hey Gary. When you said you'll protect me, did you really mean all of that?" I looked at Leaf, who was blushing a little.
My heart skipped a beat as my face felt hot.
"Yeah, I meant it.." She smiled happily, running ahead to go talk to Dawn.
I just hope this night goes well..
Misty's Pov
"I'm nervous! What if my skirt flies up?! What if-" "Dawn, calm down! We know you can do it!" Dawn smiled, nodding in determination. "No need to worry!" "That's when I worry the most.." May grumbled. Dawn smacked her in the back of her head. "OW!"
I shook my head as Leaf laughed. We walked to the bleachers, sitting down as we waited. "Hey Mist. I've been wanting to ask, how has it been going? I know your sisters are gone and I just want to make sure you are okay.." Ash said, looking me in the eyes. "Everything is okay.. I could use some help though.." His smile widened. "I'll help you!" I smiled, nodding as he cheered.
Ash. He always helps me. I wish I could repay him for everything he has done, I just don't know how though..
I felt my phone vibrate, seeing Leaf smirking at me.
Kiss him. KISS HIM OR I'LL FORCE YOU TO- Leaf
I rolled my eyes, seeing her laughing while Gary raised an eyebrow in amusement. She's getting a kick out of my misery! How dare she!
"Everything okay?" Ash was close to my face, looking worried. I felt my face flush. "You! Get out of my face!" I pushed him away, Ash bumping May who fell off the bleachers. I started laughing.
"It's not funny Misty! I just hit my face!" May cried, glaring. "Not my problem!" "YES IT IS!" I shrugged, looking at the field as the game started.
~TIME SKIPZ OKAY?! (I CANT WRITE A FOOTBALL GAME LOL)~
The game was.. okay.
First, Drew had managed to get a touchdown, but Paul got more. Then Dawn and her cheerleaders did their routine, and it went amazing. Lastly, the other team raged, like really raged. It was fun to watch it though. Free show. We were now walking home, as it was 12:00 now. We were going to Gary's house-mansion.
"I'm excited~ I've never been to your house before!" May said, while Dawn giggled. "It's just a mansion. I don't get what's so exciting about it.." Ash grumbled, clearly jealous of Gary's wealth. I shook my head, while Ash mumbled about how lucky Gary was.
Tonight was going to be very.. weird.
Leaf's Pov
The first thing I said when I saw Gary's mansion?
"DAMN!"
After walking down the path, we finally came upon his gigantic 'House'. The mansion was a rich cream color, the windows had beautiful, white curtains, drawn so that the moonlight could stream through. Uniquely twisted fencing kept the mansion enclosed, and there was a beautiful marble fountain in the middle of the path, which curved to make a circle around the fountain.
"Well, let's go.." Gary said, feeling uncomfortable. I couldn't blame him. We probably looked like fish, the way we were gaping at the mansion. We followed him inside, and I felt like my jaw would hit the floor any second now.
The black and white linoleum, obviously having been cleaned. Stairs lay across the room, climbing towards the ceiling. There were about two doors on either side of the room, one leading towards the kitchen while the other led towards the living room. The walls were a beautiful dark blue, with silver brush swipes crossing over it, creating a shimmer effect. It was amazing!
"Can you guys stop staring like that?! It's just a mansion!" Gary yelled, frustrated. "Hey! Don't get mad at us! This is two times the size of my mansion!" Dawn grumbled. Gary rolled his eyes, as we followed him into the living room.
The living room was just as amazing. There was a fireplace against the wall, the fire calmly swaying. The fireplace was surrounded by a huge, brown couch and a rocking chair. In the middle of the living room I saw three huge red couches forming a U shape around a glass coffee table. There was a huge TV, that probably cost over a thousand. There were bookshelves along the left side of the wall, filled with many books. There was also a huge desk to the side, where a expensive computer sat, along with paper work. This mansion is soooo wow!
Gary groaned in annoyance, glaring at us. "Stop with the staring!" We laughed, sitting down on the sofas. Soo comfy~ Gary grabbed the phone, ordering pizza. "What kind of pizza?" Immediately, everyone started saying what they wanted.
"Pepperoni!" "Extra cheese!" Gary rolled his eyes again, as Ash took the phone. "That'll be 130$" He glared at Ash, grabbing the phone and hanging up. "YOU JUST HAD TO ORDER ONE OF EVERYTHING DIDN'T YOU ASH?" Ash smiled sheepishly. "Heh oh well..''
"OH WELL?!"
"What is all this yelling about?" Prof Oak said, rubbing his neck. "Oh! I see we have some friends here that I didn't meet." He said. He walked towards me and the girls, shaking all of our hands. "I'm Samuel Oak! What's your name?" "Misty." "I'm May!" "I'm Dawn~!" He chuckled, before looking at me. "I-I'm Leaf.." He smiled, "Nice to meet you girls, I hope you have a good time tonight!" He left, almost tripping as he walked towards the kitchen.
I held in my laughter. "So, now that we have our pizza coming, what do you guys want to do?" "How about we play the Wii U? Mario Kart 8~" Ash said, grabbing a remote. For an hour or two, we all played. I only played once, preferring to watch instead. My phone vibrated, and I sighed as I checked the message.
Where are you?! –Red I smiled. I'm happy to have a brother like him. I quickly told him where I was, my eyes widening at the text he sent next.
I'm coming over there. I don't want that Oak trying anything. –Red I groaned in annoyance. Gary looking at me worriedly. "Something wrong?" "Uh.. How would you feel if my brother came over?" He chuckled, "It's fine. I don't mind." I nodded, sending a response before shutting my phone off.
"I'm going to kick your ass Drew!"
"Whatever you say June!"
I smiled, seeing all of us getting along.
"Troublesome, you suck at gaming."
"YOU SUCK AT LIFE."
Somewhat getting along..
I shivered, getting up and going towards the fireplace. Why was I so cold? I laid down on the brown couch, sighing as I closed my eyes. I felt so tired and weak. "Leaf? Are you okay?" Misty asked, looking at me worriedly. I nodded. "J-just tired.." She frowned, letting it go. I closed my eyes, yawning as I shivered. Gary walked up to me, handing me his jacket. I took it, sighing as I put it on. I didn't feel better. It was so cold. "Are you okay Leafy?" I nodded, hearing someone knock on the door.
Red walked in, looking at me worriedly. I smiled tiredly. I didn't really have the energy to move for some reason. "Pizza is here!" Ash cheered, Gary running to the door. He paid the guy, before setting the pizza down. He brought me a plate.
I quickly ate it, dropping the plate as I felt my eyes close slowly.
Why am I so tired..
Gary's Pov
She randomly falls asleep, and drops her plate.
Nice.
Red looked at me, "You aren't going to try anything to my sister, are you?" "NO. What makes you think that?" He looked me up and down.
"You look like one of those cliché playboy man whore people."
I'm offended. "Well I'll have you know that you look like a.. a.. a creepypasta character!" He looked at me in amusement. "So if I look like a character from that childish thing, then so does my sister?" He said, smirking when he saw that I was at a loss for words.
"Whatever. You are annoying me."
"Feelings mutual." We glared at each other, before laughing. "I guess I can let what you did to my sister go for now. If you hurt her again, I'll destroy you." He said, smiling. Creepy.
"I don't plan to.." He walked towards Leaf. I looked over at Ash, seeing him eat his tenth slice. Why did I invite them over? I'm starting to regret it. Red sighed, catching my attention. "What's wrong?" He looked at me, red eyes showing how worried he was. "Has she coughed up blood at all?" I nodded, which made Red sigh again. "Poor girl.. I don't want to lose her.."
What did he mean by that? She wasn't dying or anything, so why was he acting like she is going to die? I walked to the kitchen, getting some soda and walking back in.
I picked up the book my grandfather had given me earlier, deciding to read more of it. LTS was also found out to be in children who were born in Lavender Town, whether it'll affect them or not, it seems not to happen right away. Many kids who were born with it, seem okay. It has been known to strike when you least expect it though. "I'm thinking about going back home."
I jumped, seeing Red standing behind me. "W-why?" "Not to stay there, just.. to visit our brothers graves. Leaf has been wanting to go for a while now and I finally got enough money to take us." He said, smiling softly. I immediately got an idea. "Let us come." His eyes widened slightly, "Why?"
"I'm from Pallet Town, that's my hometown. I miss Kanto, but that's not the point. I want to pay my respects. I'm sure the others do to." Red seemed to be thinking about it, before shrugging. "It's your choice. I don't mind, but you should ask your friends if they want to go or not." I looked over, seeing Ash and them chatting. I walked towards them.
"Want to go to Lavender Town?" They looked at me in surprise. "What do you mean?" "I asked Red if we could go with him and Leaf to Lavender, and he said we could. You know, to pay our respects. Isn't that what a best friend would do?" May nodded, while the others thought about it. "We don't have that kind of money.." I smirked. "I'll pay for it, so now I just need your answers." They all looked at each other, before nodding.
"We'll go." I nodded, smiling as I walked back to Red. "What did they say?" "They'll go. I'll pay for all of our tickets, okay?" Red looked like he was about to object, but I cut him off. "Don't worry. Just see it as my way of saying sorry for everything I did." Red sighing, shaking his head in amusement. "Gary Oak, you are something else. Fine, if you wish, you can pay." I smirked.
Good. Now I just have to go tell gramps and them, I'll do that tomorrow though.
Everyone went home after that, and I quickly went to go tell my grandfather.
Dawn's Pov (10:00 In the morning, Saturday)
I'm bored, I feel like ranting. I wanna rant.
"Dawn, your father would like to speak to you."
"I don't want to talk to him! I hate him!" Mother glared at me, "You will talk to him right now, here." I took the phone sighing.
"Hello Mr I Don't Care About My Daughter." I sneered. My father sighed. "Why must you say that? I care about you." Sure he does. If he cares, then why is he forcing me into this marriage? "Then why are you forcing me into the marriage? If you cared, you would let me decide who I want to marry." I yelled.
Father stayed quiet, sighing. "I'll talk to you later then." He hung up. Rude. I handed the phone back to mom, who was glaring at me. "What did I do wrong?!" "You yelled at your father! That is disrespectful!" "DO I LOOK LIKE I CARE?!" I screamed. She stared in shock, while I continued. "I hate him! He never let me choose anything! It's always what he wants! Why can't I choose who I want to love?!" I cried, feeling tears forming in my eyes. "Dawn.." "Leave me alone mom.." I walked out of the house, holding my tears in. "Troublesome, why are you crying." I squeaked, seeing Paul standing behind me. "I-I'm not crying.." He raised his eyebrow, sighing. "Yes you are." I started wailing, hugging him tightly. "Troublesome! What the-"
"PAUL! MY FATHER IS FORCING ME INTO AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!" I sobbed. He sighed, rubbing my back awkwardly. "Troublesome, you are so loud. Please be quiet." "RUDE!" He rolled his eyes, dropping me on the floor. "OW! WHAT WAS THAT FOR." He smirked, "I'm rude, aren't I? Isn't that what rude people do?" I pouted.
Such a mean person.
"Y-you know what! I'll just go cry to Lucas then, at least he cares." I could see jealousy flash by in his eyes, but it went away as fast as it came. "Do I look like I care?" He said, sighing as he pulled me into a hug. "There, happy? Annoying girl..
I'm happy, for now.
But you are still a rude person.
Ash's Pov
"So what do you want to talk about Ash?"
I was at Gary's house. I had come over to him for some advice. Weird I know, but I needed advice! Mom would've just squealed.. "I need advice.. You know how Melody and Serena are after me? How do I reject them?" Might as well ask the guy who dates a lot..
"Just say no. If they cry, they cry. Seriously, you gave Melody a chance and it didn't work out, right? So then forget her. Serena, well.. She's delusional. Just ignore her, I guess? She acts like you are an item, they both do." Gary said, sighing as he closed his book. I frowned, easy for him to say.
"It's not that easy, Gary. I tried, they won't stop.."
"How about.. humiliate them. Reject them in the most embarrassing way you can. It'll hurt, and you'll feel bad, but then they'll leave you alone, right? Because you embarrassed them." I can't do that.. That's to mean. I sighed, rubbing my head.
"I'll feel to guilty, then I'll apologize, then they'll do it again." He seemed to be deep in thought, before looking at me seriously. "Want me, Misty and Leaf to do it for you?" "What?! What do you mean?"
"I would say Paul, but he would just say no and slam the door on our face. Dawn is busy, so is May and Drew, leaving me, Leaf and Misty. So we'll sabotage them. They'll try to stalk you like always, and we'll humiliate them, making it look like you did that. How about it?" I shook my head in amusement, Gary and his weird ideas..
"Are you sure? Won't you feel guilty then?" He shook his head, smirking cruelly. "Nope. I've done it before, I'll do it again." I frowned. "So if it was Leaf, you would do it again?" He stayed shut. He didn't know how to respond to that. I sighed.
"Fine. Do what you want. You are my best friend and I trust you'll do the right thing. Just.. Don't go overboard okay?" He nodded, his eyes dark as he seemed to be thinking about something.
Maybe I shouldn't have brought Leaf into the subject..
"Sorry Gary." "Yeah, whatever." He got up, looking at me. "So, then. On to another important thing. When will you be able to go to Lavender? May and Drew said they can next Saturday, and Dawn and Paul did to. Misty is still checking, and we need your answer." I sighed, I guess next Saturday would be a good day. I don't think I have anything that day, but I still should ask.
"Next Saturday sounds good." He nodded, humming. "Well then, anything else?" "I'm bored." "Same, Wii U?" I nodded, as we started playing the system.
I just hope my friends know what they are doing..
Leaf's Pov
"My ears still hurt from the fire alarm that went off yesterday."
"I'M NOT A FIRE ALARM!" I yelled, glaring at Red as he laughed at me. He got up, looking at me in amusement. "I have a short, fire alarm sister." I punched him in his arm, while he laughed.
"I can't believe you would compare me to a fire alarm Red. After all I've done for you!" I said sarcastically. He rolled his eyes.
"The only thing you've done for me is give me a headache." He grumbled, chuckling as I flared. "I'm kidding, calm down." I sighed, going upstairs. "We'll be eating soon, fire alarm." "I'M NOT A FIRE ALARM!" He started laughing.
I turned my computer on, thinking about what my brother had told me. We would be going to visit Lavender, and my friends wanted to come. I honestly don't know why they would want to come with us, but it made me happy. Happy that they cared.
Although Red is still as cold as ever to others.
"Leaf, get your dinner." I ran downstairs, sitting at the table as Red sighed. "Red, you need to smile more." Red shook his head, "Apparently I'm a creepypasta character." I stared in confusement. "Who said that?" "Gary." I giggled, smiling.
"Sorry sis. I'm not letting him anywhere near you. You can't be alone with him." I rolled my eyes as I ate.
Overprotective much?
Drew's Pov
"So, Drew. Let me make sure I heard you right. You wanna go to Lavender Town, with your friends? Are you crazy?" I rolled my eyes. Its just Lavender Town, don't get the big deal.
"Yeah. Think about it mom and dad. I could learn what others want in our business." I lied. I don't care at all about the company. I just wanna go to Lavender Town with my friends. "Well then why didn't you say so? We'll let you go, but make sure to come back with a list of things people would like, okay?" Nope. I'm not coming back with some list, do it yourself. Sorry. "Okay."
I walked outside, sighing as I sat on the stairs. Why did I have to be born into a rich family? I mean, it's amazing and all, but so much responsibility. I looked up, seeing May standing there.
When did she get there?
"Hey Drew. I wanted to work on the project, if that is okay with you." I nodded, going over to a table that was randomly placed on the grass. I looked at the paper, seeing that she had wrote more down about our friends.
"Who did you write about?" She handed me the paper, showing me everything she wrote about Ash and Misty. "I thought we could write about them next." I nodded, as she read it.
"Ash. He can be very dense, especially when it comes to love. He is the type that is caring, but is very protective. He likes to help others, but is kinda shy to confess." May read, trailing off. That was somewhat true, but I guess it did seem like he is shy to confess to Misty.
"Misty. She can be very, very violent sometimes. She is very caring and would rather help out her friends then worry about her own problems. She is a tsundere, always acting like she hates Ash when she actually loves him." May concluded, smiling. I guess that made sense. Tsunderes acted like that.
"Well then, I'm thinking we did a good job on that part. Now, we need to list the good and the bad things about them." May's eyes widened slightly. "We forgot about Paul!" "Don't worry May, this is just ideas and stuff." She nodded, relaxing as she looked at the paper. "Well, I guess we should get started, huh? The good and the bad things about the way they act."
"Ash. A good thing about being dense is that, for example, say Misty said she liked another guy, he'd probably think she meant as a friend." I said, while May nodded. "A bad thing about that is, say Misty confessed she liked him, he'd think she meant it as a friend, and break her heart, or discourage her." May said. So far so good.. Maybe we'll be done with this soon.
"Now Misty. A good thing about being caring is that it shows she'll be there for him when he needs her most. A bad thing about that is that she won't have time to worry about her own problems. A good thing about her being a tsundere, is that it shows she can be independent. A bad thing is that she may hurt Ash, since she doesn't really seem to know how to handle her emotions well.." May finished. I wrote all that down, smiling proudly.
"We are doing pretty good May!" She smiled happily, stretching and yawning. "I'm hungry. Get me something to eat." I sighed, getting up. "Let's go. I'll take you to McDonald's.."
"Yay!" She squealed, flying past me.
The things I do for her.
The end of chapter 8! I hope you enjoyed, and have yourself a good day! :D
-Pichu
