Welcome - Ch.9 A Flashback Or A Dream?

"I wonder if Lily's awake right now." Richard thought to himself as he exited Master Hand's office, after he sign up, along with Mew. "Hey, Mew. Do you think Lily's awake yet?" he asked the pokemon. Mew shrugged. Richard sighed and glanced around at the hallways.

The hallways had very high ceilings, at least 20 ft high at the peak of the arch the straight walls gently sloped into after roughly 10 feet. The walls were all colored red-orange that are simply been polished, a gentle orange color with slight light yellow hues spread through it. And the floor was a checkerboard design of white and black tiles, all of which were smooth and chilled.

Apart from the hallways, the only other pieces of furniture were a couple real-wood end tables on both side of the open doorway to the living room and a small lamp sitting on top of them. At the far end of the fifteen-or-so foot long room, growing out from the back wall was the master staircase, which was wide enough for three Donkey Kongs to walk up side-by-side and not be squished together, led up to the second floor landing. To the left of the staircase was the doorway to the basement, to the right was the doorway leading into the trophy wing. On the right wall opened up the doorways to the dining room and study and on the left wall was the doorway to the living room.

Richard was in awe of the foyer's beauty until he heard someone yelling, "You little brats! You'll pay for this!"

Then, both Richard and Mew saw Wario, who has smudged marker ink on his face, chasing both Kirby and Jigglypuff.

(Why did you draw his face with your marker?) Kirby shouted at Jigglypuff.

(He was interupting my singing! He deserved it!) Jigglypuff shouted back while the two of them ran to the stairs and around another corner while Wario was still chasing them.

(Just like old times...) Mew giggled.

"Guess that was Wario, Kirby, and Jigglypuff, huh?" Richard asked Mew and laughed a little. "Anyways, lets go back to the infirmary to see if my cousin's awake." And they both headed to the infirmary.

"What is this place? What am I doing here?" Lily thought to herself as she had another dream, but in a different place.

She was in a hallway that has gray painted brick walls that have crumbled to the ground while some of them are still standing strong. The floor was hardwood, but a few pieces has somehow been broke off to the soil and have been smothered with black ashes. And all of the windows and furniture have been burned, ripped, broked, and smashed into pieces all over the damaged floor.

Seeing the damage at the hallway made her feel shocked and frightened wondering what has happened here until she saw a group of people ran past her, three women, two little toddlers holding onto one of the women, and two little babies carried by two of the women, and stopped and hid behind a broken wall as if they were trying to get away from someone or something.

The first woman had short brown hair and a pair of hazel-brown eyes. She wore a brown and white dress that reach her ankles and wore a pair of light brown short-heeled shoes. The second woman had black wavy hair tied into a ponytail and a pair of blue eyes. She wore a white dress with long gray sleeves and a pair of black short-heeled shoes. The third woman had white long hair that reaches to the middle of her back and a pair of sapphire eyes. She wore a light blue gown, a blue ribbon tied around her neck, and a pair of sky-blue short-heeled shoes.

The two of the three women each carried a three-year-old baby boy, wrapped in a blanket, that had messy black hair and a pair of blue eyes, just like the second woman. They also looked like twins.

The two toddlers, who were holding the woman with the white hair's hands, were a boy and a girl. The boy had brown hair and a pair of brown eyes. He wore a white shirt, a pair of navy blue shorts, and a pair of brown shoes. The girl had short brown hair and a pair of brown eyes just like the boy's. She wore a light yellow dress that reach her ankles and a pair of white slippers. The boy and the girl look alot like siblings.

Before Lily called out to the group there was a loud explosive sound coming from the other side which made the brick walls crumble and a few pebbles from the ceiling fell to the floor.

The woman with the brown hair motioned to the group to follow her and they all ran through the damaged hallways avoiding the broken glass.

(H-Hey! Wait!) Lily called out to them but there was no sound coming from her mouth. She gasped, if she still had her voice, and covered her mouth with her hands when she saw a shadow behind the group who was holding a bullet gun, aiming at the woman with white hair. (LOOK OUT! NO! STOP!)

Lily's eyes shot wide open and sat up on the infirmary bed.

"Look! She's finally awake!" Peach exclaimed when everyone saw the young girl wide awake.

"Lily? How are you feeling?" Dr. Mario asked her.

"I...I'm okay. But...But how do you know my name?" she asked him.

"Your cousin told us while you were unconscious." Samus answered her.

"My cousin? You mean R-?"

"Lily! You're awake!" Richard exclaimed and hugged his cousin when he and Mew came back.

"Of course I'm awake. Why wouldn't I?" Lily said and hugged him back. When they let go, Richard noticed Roy sleeping unconsciously on the other infirmary bed.

"What happened to him?" he asked the others who were sweatdropping, especially Peach.

"Kind of a long story." Dr. Mario answered him.

(Anyways sir Richard, you should go ask miss Lily to sign up for the tournament also.) Mew told Richard, who still didn't get that.

"Uh...I actually don't understand OR speak to creatures like my cousin." he admitted and there was silence in the room.

(ARE YOU KIDDING ME?) Mew hollered at him while holding up the collar of his shirt. (ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT SHE'S NOT YOUR SISTER? AND LIKE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN UNDERSTAND ME?)

"Uh...Mew..." Samus tried to get the pokemon's attention.

(WHY DIDN'T YOU TOLD ME EARLIER? NO WONDER YOU ALWAYS GET CONFUSE WHENEVER I...!)

"Mew...you can stop,now."

(AFTER THE WHOLE CONVERSATION, YOU-!)

"MEW!"

(WHAT IS IT MISS SAMUS? CAN'T YOU SEE ME TRYING TO GET THIS MAN TO UNDERSTAND ME?) Mew began to sweatdrop and there was silence in the room again and he let go of Richard's collar shirt. (Sorry.) he muttered.

"Anyway you guys, thanks for watching Lily while I was gone." said Richard. "C'mon, Lily, you have to sign up in order to join the tournament."

"Coming, Richard." Lily said and thanked the others also on their way to Master Hand's office except only one person, the angel.

Me:Finally! I'm finished! *Falls on bed*

Richard:Hey, you didn't even post up your story.

Me:I'll do it the morning. Besides, it's already the weekends and Spring Break is starting at Monday so I still have time to make my stories. *Begans to sleep*

?:Alright! Spring Break!

Me:*Suddenly wakes up* Ack! You're not supposed to be here until the next chapter!

Pit:Please review! ;D
