TDBigJ's message: Hey, hey, hey, what's shakin' bacon? Ah, don't want to be stupid. I haven't said that since high school. I actually don't remember when the last time I said that, but it's not important. For you Americans, how was your fourth of July? For the rest of you, how was your week? Mine actually hasn't been as uneventful as they usually are. I actually met up with one of my former high school teachers at a friend's house this past Sunday. She offered me a job at the beginning of September if it pulls through. I hope it pulls through. Her son was one of my friends in high school, and I met up with his little sister. She also likes Pokemon and anime. She actually drew me an anime character and she's really good! I'll to put it up as my profile picture so you guys can see it. Only five chapters left after this one. Now I'm finished with my banter. Let's get to the responding of the reviews.
Klay (Guest #1): You'll find out. Thanks for the review!
Espeon44: Maybe. Thanks for the review!
Wolves22 (Guest #2): Oh boy, if you want to see what they do, read on and find out. Thanks for the review!
Rams30 (Guest #3): It was planned. Thanks for the review!
Oliverqueen01: Edge is your favorite of all time? That's a very good pick. I never watched Edge because, you know why. But picking Edge as your favorite because he represents your hometown is a smart choice. But seeing as where Edge is from, you're from Canada? Correct me if I'm wrong. I've always wanted to go there. There was an amourshipping moment at the beginning of the league? Interesting. Yeah, Serena and Delia were pros at keeping everything a secret from Ash. Don't worry, Clemont is all right. I hope you like this chapter, because it's a little more unusual than my other chapters. It's okay if you don't. Thanks for the review!
Bryce (Guest #4): I'll consider it. Thanks for the review!
Pelicans23 (Guest #5): Don't worry, both couples love each other and none of them will split up. Thanks for the review!
Pokemonmeat: Glad you liked the chapter! Thanks for the review!
Raiders89 (Guest #6): I have an idea of how she will get him. Thanks for the review!
Jagaurs5 (Guest #7): Well, this chapter is going to focus mainly on the guys night. Thanks for the review!
Brig nodrm2347: Good job! You were right. Actually, I originally planned for Brock to keep Ash away from the house but I felt like I've already used him to occupy Ash's time in both stories so far and so I thought Gary would have been a better choice, also because we haven't seen him much. The guys night this chapter is going to be a little weird just to warn you, but guys nights are always weird so what's new? What way would you recommend me watching the english sub version of the anime? Could you suggest something? Only if you want. Thanks for the review!
Guest #8: The crossover fic is coming along nicely. Thanks for thinking it was a good Amourshipping chapter. Thanks for the review!
Shadic4566: Yeah, I honestly don't know why Ash is still 10. There have been more than 920 episodes in the anime and there are 365 days in a year. Come on, the math doesn't add up. Glad you liked the chapter and thanks for the review!
49ers (Guest #9): Don't worry, they will. Thanks for the review!
Golden Tiger (Guest #10): Glad you liked the chapter and looking forward to this one. Yeah, you would understand after my rant a few lines above. Thanks for the review!
Mad Ass Dragon: Don't worry man, better late than never right? I understand that you have to get your chapter done. No worries. You think the previews interesting? Well wait until you read this chapter. I remember you saying a couple chapters ago that you like weird and different and this chapter is kind of like that. Clemont passing out after three cokes definitely consider him a lightweight. LOL. I hope you like this chapter. A little warning, Red is pretty crazy in this one. Thanks for the review!
Yankees2 (Guest #11): No, don't worry, they won't do that. I'm not quite sure. Yes! I am definitely and Eagles fan. Been one since 2005. Yes, they love each other. Thanks for the review!
Titans8 (Guest #12): I guess, but it's not the amount of reviews I get that are important to me but it's the feedback. I'm not one to relish in the amount of reviews I get, but I'm glad you asked that question. Thanks for the review!

In the texting conversation, Serena's lines will be in bold while Ash's will be in italics.
School was only a few minutes away from ending. A few more minutes and it would be the weekend. The weekend, the one time of the week that most kids waited for, because, does there really need to be an explanation?
Almost every student was looking at the clock, watching it as the time ticked down. Even though they were looking at it, they wondered what was taking so long. The teachers were looking at the students and wondering why the hell they were looking at it all the time, whether it was waiting for the period to end or like it was at this time, waiting for school to end. The teachers knew that most of the kids didn't like school, but what could they do?
Finally, ten seconds were left. Each student counted each time the red hand of the clock moved. Finally when it reached the last one it stopped. The students were confused. It seemed to take years for it to move again. Something must have happened. Either father time made it stop so they could suffer or the janitor must accidentally ripped a cord and made all the clocks in the school stop in it's position. But then, it changed and the bell rung and all the students blew the classroom doors open like they were some human battering rams. Some just solemnly walked out, not as energetic as some others.
Ash had to go by his locker to pick something up, Serena being there with him. Ash thought he would ask her something that had been on his mind.
"Hey, you want to do something tonight?"
"Nah, the girls and I are going to have a girls night. It was Aria's idea."
"Oh, okay. Just wanted to know." Ash said, a little saddened that they wouldn't be together tonight.
"I mean, just for tonight. Tomorrow we can do anything we want, okay?" She suggested.
"All right. That seems fine." Ash answered, cheering up a little.
"If it's all right with you, just so I can see you happy a little bit, I can spend the night at your place tonight, would you be okay with that?"
Ash nodded his head. "Yeah sure." He responded, smiling a little bit.
"Come on, I want to see a smile on that face." She said, grabbing his cheeks and slightly shaking his head. "Turn that frown upside down."
"Well, let go of my cheeks and you can see it." Ash said, his voice a little sloppy due to her having a grip on his cheeks. Serena giggled and let go of his chin. Ash slowly formed a smile on his face, just to show her he was happy.
"Now that's what I like to see." She said and planted a kiss on his lips. "Besides, I'd rather kiss a smile than a frown."
Ash chuckled at her choice of words. He shut his locker and they made their way home.
Once Ash got home he went and laid back on his bed. Pikachu had a long day and thought he would catch some shut eye. Ash took off his hat and looked up at the ceiling. He thought about Serena not being with him tonight. Well, she would be with him at the end of the night but not up until that point. It was a rare situation that she would hang out with someone other than him for a night out, but Ash wanted her to have her time with her female friends. He wasn't one of those guys that wanted his girlfriend to occupy all his time, he wasn't that kind of person. He let her do her own thing and she let him do his. The way she cheered him up after telling him about tonight was one of the things he loved about her. Whenever he was down, she would try to lift his spirits. She knew that he was sad whenever she went off to do her own thing, but liked to make him happy afterwards just so he wouldn't be bummed. He knew she was the one for him. She made him such a better person when they together, and he was glad she did. He was really admitting that. He closed his eyes and took a short nap.
About half an hour later, he woke up. He stretched his arms out and yawned. He looked to his left and saw Pikachu was still sleeping. The day must have been hard on him. He then heard a knock at the front door. He went down to answer it. When he opened it, Red and all his guy friends were standing there. Cameron, Barry, Brock, Gary to name a few.
"Hey guys, what's up?" He asked.
"You want to hang out with us tonight?" Red asked.
"Really? Why?" Ash asked.
"Since the girls are having a girls night, we thought we would have a guys night. You in?" Gary explained.
"Sure, but I have to check with my mom first."
"It's okay with me honey. Go be one of the guys." Delia said from a few feet behind him, catching him by surprise.
"Are you sure, mom?" Ash asked.
"Not a problem. Go and have a good time."
Ash turned back to the guys. "All right. Let's go!"
All the guys cheered. Ash went upstairs and grabbed his hat. He asked Pikachu if he wanted to go but Pikachu shook his head and wanted to stay home and have a nice long nap. Ash stroked his buddy's head and went downstairs and out the door and the guys went to Red's house, where the night would start.
An hour later, the guys were having a caffeine drinking contest. Right now they were doing cans of cola. Each guy had drank at least two cans of cola by now, but a few had drank four or more already. The guys were wanting Red to do another one, but he was a little reluctant.
"Come on, Red, do another one." Barry pleaded.
"I don't know if I should. I've already drank six." Red replied.
"Seriously Red, we'd all love to see you do another one. You are the gutsiest one out of all of us." Gary said.
"Well…"
"ONE MORE! ONE MORE! ONE MORE! ONE MORE!" All the guys chanted, seriously wanting Red to be the badass that he is.
"You know what? I'll do it! Hit me!" Red commanded and Clemont tossed another can of cola to Red, who opened it.
"Bottoms up!" Red exclaimed and bent his head back and put the can up to his lips and started gulping down the sugar and caffeine laden beverage. The guys all chanted "CHUG" as he drained the can. Within thirty seconds, Red had drank all the cola, crushed the can on his forehead, and screamed in victory, the guys cheering like guys ever could.
"You truly are bold, Red." Brock commented.
"Now, Clemont, it's your turn." Red stated.
"Wait, what?" Clemont asked, confused.
"Come on, Clemont, grow some balls. What will Shauna think of you if you don't?" Cilan asked.
"Shauna thinks what?"
"Uh, not important. Come on, dude, do it." Cilan took a can and tossed it to Clemont.
"Um, okay. Here goes nothing." Clemont said and opened the can and started chugging it. The guys did the same thing as with Red, chanted "chug" as Clemont drank the contents of the can. Once he was finished, he smiled and raised the can above his head.
"Now that's what I call cool, Clemont way to go!" Ash shouted.
"Yeah, that's right, I did it! Come on, give me-"
But within a second, due to the caffeine from two cans he had drank before, Clemont began to feel drowsy, and fell face first into the floor, passed out from a caffeine crash. The guys were surprised at first, then cheered, Clemont having proven something.
"Gee, I wonder what the girls are up to." Brock wondered.
Meanwhile with the girls, they were all doing the usual mall stuff. Serena at the moment decided to take a break. She went and sat down on the bench. She took out her phone and texted Ash.
"You doing okay?"
"I'm great! Having the time of my life!"
"What are you doing?"
"The guys and I are having a guys night."
"Oh really? Sounds like you are having fun. What are you doing right now?"
"You know, guy stuff. What about you?"
"You know, girl stuff. I'm doing all right. Could be better. You have a good time. I'll see you tonight. I miss you."
"I miss you too. See you tonight."
She put her phone back in her pocket. Dawn and Lucy came up to her.
"What are you doing sitting there? You've got to come see this. You'll love it!" Dawn exclaimed.
"All right, I'm coming." Serena said and got up, but as soon as she stood up, Dawn and Lucy grabbed her by the arms and tugged her away.
Back with the guys, things were only getting rowdier. They had now moved on to energy drinks. Clemont was still passed out on the floor but the guys thought he would regain consciousness any minute now and thought he would catch up with what they were doing when he did.
"Okay, okay. First one to drink their whole energy drink wins it." Brock stated. "Ready?"
"Ready!" Shouted Red, Barry, and Gary.
"Remember, anything goes, just as long as you finish your can first, no matter what it takes. Ready? Go!"
The three of them started drinking down their can of buzz. When it reached the halfway point, Red punched Gary and Barry in their stomachs, each of them spitting out what liquid was in their mouths and coughing afterwards, and finally finishing up ten seconds later.
"Ha!" Red chanted, pointing at Gary and Barry. "You two drink caffeine like a couple of little girls."
"Thanks Red. I'm almost unable to breathe." Barry stated.
"Yeah, almost." Red said.
"What should we do next." Clemont asked.
"Clemont, how'd you get up? When did you regain consciousness?" Stephan asked.
"Caffeine crashes only have a temporary effect on me." Clemont answered.
Red picked up a can of energy drink and attempted to open it.
"Don't!" Gary said, halting the motion of Red's hand.
"Just follow me and you'll find out what we can do next." Red stated and ran out of the room and then the house, the rest of the guys following suit.
The guys were now apparently at some random house. No one but Red knew whose it was, but they were about to find out.
"Okay, wait until Cameron rings the doorbell and when he comes out, throw them at him." Red explained. "Okay, Cameron, do it!"
Cameron rang the doorbell and ran to his spot in the bushes. "Oh man this is going to be great."
"Ssh, keep quiet. We can't alert him that we're here." Morrison said.
About five seconds later, the door opened, revealing their science teacher, Mr. Price. He walked out to the porch, looking around for the door ringer.
"Hello? Anybody there? Hm, must have been some delinquents playing ding dong ditch or something."
"And… NOW!" Red said, and everyone threw their eggs at Mr. Price. Mr. Price then got pelted by numerous eggs, so many eggs that he couldn't see.
"Come on, let's get out of here before he regains his eyesight." Red commanded and all the guys got out of their hiding spots and ran off in the same direction. Luckily, Mr. Price didn't see them so they got off scotch free.
"Principal Barber, is this because I didn't return your golf clubs a few weeks ago?" Mr. Price called out and then walked back into his house.
"Here's what we're doing next. I found an old abandoned house and since nobody lives there, I thought we'd damage it up a bit more." Red explained.
"How many more reckless activities do you have planned Red?" Brock asked.
"I'll answer that later. Now everyone go find something to throw."
For the next five minutes, the guys went to find something that could either put a dent in the wood or break a window. Once they found something, Red ordered them to chuck it at the house. When they did, many loud thumps on wood and sounds of glass shattering emitted.
"Come on, guys, keep throwing." Red commanded.
"Gee, having Red run a guys night is a lot of work. I wonder how he comes up with all of this." Ash said.
"Ash, this is Red we're talking about. Anything other than this would make him normal, or abnormal. I can't tell which. I don't know what Red could be." Cilan stated, and he threw a stone the size of his fist at the house, which went through the front door.
After a few more items were thrown at the house, the guys thought they should amp it up a little and throw bigger things at it, but Red had other ideas.
"Hey, let's cause a little damage from the inside." Red suggested and he went inside the house from the door that Cilan just damaged. The guys, thinking this wouldn't cause any harm, went inside with him. He had already tipped over a couch that was left standing. Each guy went to a different part of the house and started damaging something. Red just tipped and broke furniture, Gary kicked doors in, Barry somehow found a sledgehammer and started smashing every ceramic item in the house, mainly toilets, and Brock threw down pictures of a couple. But Ash on the other hand, was starting to get some clues when he picked up a framed picture that Brock just smashed. The picture didn't look that old, maybe a year or two old, and the toilets that Barry unfortunately decimated looked like they had just been replaced, and there were still plates left in the kitchen cabinets. No one would have left those in a house they were going to abandon. Red took a look at Ash and took concern.
"Hey Ash, what's wrong?" He asked.
"I have a strange feeling this house isn't as abandoned as we thought." Ash replied.
"What do you mean by that?" Red asked, raising an eyebrow.
Suddenly, a voice bellowed from upstairs.
"Hey, who's causing all that ruckus?"
"That!" Ash said and he bolted out of the house with the other guys rushing for their lives right behind him. Fortunately for them, they got away from the house before they were spotted. The old man apparently didn't get downstairs until they were out of sight. But for him, he saw a lot of his possessions damaged or broken, leaving him pissed, but at the same time, confused.
"Looks like I got to call the insurance agency in the morning." He said to himself.
He looked around more at the damage. "Maybe I should update the outside of the house as well, therefore this wouldn't happen every other week."
They guys ran for a good two minutes before they reached a spot that was nowhere within two hundred yards of the house and looked back, just to make sure that they didn't catch any glimpse of the old man chasing after them. Even if he was, they would get away anyway, due to their youth and high endurance.
"That was too close." Clemont said, huffing and puffing as he finally caught up to the group.
"Maybe I should have double checked if that house was really abandoned. Sorry about that guys." Red apologized.
"Eh, it's okay Red. It's not like we didn't have fun anyway." Cameron stated.
"We got to be more careful with whatever we do, make sure we don't get in trouble with the law or anything." Ash explained.
"Agreed." Brock responded.
"So, what now?" Morrison asked.
The guys had been standing there for a good five minutes. Seeing as Red didn't have anything else planned, they had been deciding what to do next, mainly because they weren't really done with the night.
"Heck, I can't decide what else to do. I've already used up what I came up with." Red said.
"Think we should call it a night?" Ritchie asked.
"Only if they girls are done with theirs." Red replied.
"I'll text Lucy. See if they're still together or gone home." Brock said and he took out his phone and texted Lucy.
"If they're not done, what else could we do?" Stephan asked. "I really don't want this night to end."
"Guys got anything?" Red asked.
"We could do a panty raid." Barry suggested.
"Whoa, Barry, I wouldn't go that far." Red replied.
"How about we moon the principal?" Morrison asked.
"Nah, he'd expel us if he saw us."
"Okay, how about the vice principal?"
"We're not mooning any of the high power in our school." Red stated.
"Well, should we just call it a night then?" Ash asked.
"Actually, Lucy just texted me back. They're all still together." Brock said.
"Okay, I guess the nights still going." Cilan stated.
"Wait! I've got it! Follow me!" Red exclaimed and ran off with all the guys following close behind him.
They eventually got to where Red had planned to go: the school. Red told all the guys to wait there while he went to the bathroom. They had no idea what he was up to but they were soon going to find out. Tonight just so happened to be teacher conference night so they were all in the commons discussing future plans.
"What do you think he's up to?" Cameron asked.
"Beats the hell out of me." Clemont remarked.
"Knowing Red, it's probably out of the ordinary." Ritchie stated.
"I just hope that it isn't too crazy." Ash said.
Within a few seconds, Red had come up from behind them, when they turned around, they were shocked. Red was in nothing but his boxers and had all his clothes in his hands.
"Yep! It's definitely going to be crazy." Ash remarked.
"Red, what are you going to be doing?" Cilan asked.
"Oh you guys will find out." Red said mischievously. He handed his clothes to Barry, who immediately dropped them on the ground because he didn't want to be holding another man's day clothes if he was wearing nothing else. Red took a ski mask and put it on.
"Why are you putting a ski mask on?" Brock asked.
"So that way the teachers have no idea it's me." Red answered and went up to the front doors of the commons. "You guys ready to shoot?" All the guys gave an uncomfortable moan as a response. "All right, here I GO!
And with that, Red charged into the commons like the maniac he was and ran in front of all the teachers who were sitting down. He screamed while he dashed around, shocking all the teachers in attendance. The principal, who just so happened to be there, ordered all the teachers to get up and try and catch Red which they did and gave chase. Fortunately for Red, he was way faster than the teachers and was at least twenty feet ahead of them. He went out the front doors of the school and seeing as they didn't want to be caught, the guys ran behind him, hoping the teachers didn't recognize them and they'd be in deep trouble when they came to school Monday morning. They ran and ran trying to catch up to Red, who seemed to have been running faster than an Arcanine. The teachers were a little behind them but luckily it was dark out so the teachers didn't have a clue as to who they were chasing. Luckily the guys had good stamina and easily outran the teachers. The teachers, running out of breath and pretty much lacking behind, gave up and stopped. The guys caught a break. This was a close call, but it was an awesome one nonetheless. They reached the edge of the forest and stopped to catch their breath themselves.
"Red, hot damn, you're a maniac!" Gary shouted.
"Hey, we got away didn't we?" Red asked.
"Yeah, but it was too close. That needs to be a once in a while thing." Stephan stated.
"I just got a text from Lucy. She and the girls have already started heading home." Brock said.
"All right, guys, let's call it a night." Ash suggested.
"Yeah, I should get home. I'm getting pretty tired. Besides, it's almost midnight." Gary said, and he went his own way back home.
After that the other guys went their separate ways back to their respective houses. As Ash started making his way back to his home, he wondered how Pikachu had been. Pikachu was tired after school and was okay with Ash going on this guys night without him. He really wanted to go on this guys night with Ash but he thought a well deserved nap was more necessary, plus, when he heard that Red was in charge of this guys night, he thought he'd better stay home than do something Red would come up with, and when it came to Ash's mind, he thought Pikachu had made the right decision. Ash thought that when he got home, he would fall down on his bed and get a good night's sleep, because this had been a long night, one heck of one too.
When Ash got within a few minutes of his house, he reminisced what had occurred tonight. It wasn't a night that he would usually do. What Red had done tonight seemed out of the ordinary and Ash normally and really wouldn't do what Red had the rest of the guys do, but he didn't want to feel left out and be a buzzkill so he just followed suit. He was pretty sure the rest of the guys didn't want to do such things like that either but the night would have been boring for Red if he did everything by himself, so the guys did it anyway, but he wasn't saying he didn't have fun time.
Once he reached his house, he went directly upstairs and into his room. His mom wasn't downstairs and the lights were off as well so he must have assumed that she went to bed. His mom went to bed earlier than he did. When he entered his room Pikachu was still sleeping on his bed but awoke when Ash came in, so he raised his head. Ash smiled, eyes half open and pet his buddy's head and then fell onto the bed with a faceplant. With that, he fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
Fifteen minutes later, Ash was immediately awakened from his sleep. Someone must have jarred him out of his slumber. When he opened his eyes, he saw Serena standing in front of him.
"Hey, you awake?" She asked.
"I am now. Just get back?"
"Yeah. I just wanted to see if you got back okay."
Ash lifted his head up and rubbed his eyes. "Your night go okay?"
"Eh, it was fine. Just a typical girls night. How was your guys night?"
"Wild, and I mean it."
"Yeah, I could tell."
"Why is that?"
"Well one, you look tired, and two, someone posted a video of Red running through the teachers conference in nothing but his underwear." Serena explained.
"And a ski mask." Ash added.
"And that. I'm surprised Red did something like that."
"Are you really?" Ash asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No, not really." Serena answered. "By the way, could I spend the night here tonight?" I already asked my mom and it was okay with her."
"Yeah, sure, I'm fine with it."
Serena went and turned the light off and went over to Ash's bed and made sure she slept right behind him, but don't get any wrong ideas. She wrapped her arms around his stomach and laid her head behind his and drifted off to sleep. The night had taken a toll on both of them, and they needed the sleep.
They had one heck of a night, now they needed to sleep it off.
Author's note: Well, that was certainly a different chapter. It was funny but it was different for this kind of story. This will pretty much be the only humor based chapter for this story you guys will get. This story was either normal, action, and/or drama based up to this point. I thought I'd give you guys one abnormal chapter but to keep with the main genres of the story this will be the only one you guys will see for the remainder of the story. But I'm not saying there won't be any humor here on out, don't worry, there will be more, just not to the extent of this chapter. I don't want you guys to think I'm trying to turn this into a romantic comedy or something, I don't want that. There has to be a specific way to perfectly execute something like that. I want to keep this story the mostly sane way it is. Wow! I actually made it through an author's note being perfectly normal, all the while talking about something abnormal and trying to keep it normal… damn! I guess it wasn't normal. Ah well, there will be many more opportunities in the future. If you want to talk about the future, here is something that will happen at that time.
Ash and the guys all put their stuff in the room they were going to be staying in for the next week and a half. With that guys night they had not too long ago, this one was to surely beat it.
"Aw man, I can't wait to get this vacation started. I'm so hyped up!" Cameron cheered, pumped up for the days ahead.
"Man, he's been saying that the whole ride over here." Gary said to Ritchie.
"Hey, give the man a break. He's just as excited as we all are." Ritchie stated.
"When you've got ten days to do whatever the hell you want with no parents around, why wouldn't you be excited?" Brock explained.
"Just imagine Brock, if you weren't with Lucy right now, I'm pretty sure you'd be flirting with every girl here." Cilan stated.
"Yeah. But that was my past. Lucy is the only girl for me. But you're right, I would try to get at least one girl if I wasn't in a relationship right now." Brock said.
"Oh man, I miss those days." Ash stated.
"You don't, do you?" Brock asked.
"Not really." Ash responded.
"I'm pretty sure for those of us in a relationship, that you're going to spend most of your spring break with them." Clemont stated.
"When are you going to get with Shauna? She's been dropping a lot of hints lately." Tierno asked.
"What hints?" Clemont asked. All the guys facepalmed. Clemont was as dense as Ash was before he got with Serena.
"Come on guys, let's get all our stuff unpacked and go meet up with the girls, they're probably waiting on us." Morrison stated.
"They're probably just as busy as we are at the moment." Stephan said.
"Man, this is going to be one hell of a break." Cameron exclaimed once again. There was no stopping his enthusiasm. A lot of teens looked forward to a time like this in their school years. They were sure going to make the best of this. This was their last chance, if they didn't do this now, there would be no more opportunities. They had to make this count, that's for sure.
Author's note: Well look what's next. Seems like everybody is going on spring break. That's what the next two, TWO chapters are going to be. What will they get up to? Will anything romantic or dramatic happen? Anything humorous? Anything at all? Well, you'll see what I have come up with in a week. I have something planned. I'll see you in seven short days. Until then…
TDBigJ out!
YOU'RE GONNA DIE CLOWN!
