I'M NOT DEAD!

Hey guys, sorry I haven't updated in a while, but anyway this is the second last chapter of Christmas in Petalburg.

Anyway I do NOT own pokemon just about half of these characters in this story.

ENJOY!

"Drew wake up." I tapped his shoulder.

"Five more minutes." I looked at Mel who picked up a bottle full of water on the shelf before unscrewing the cap and pouring the water all over Drew's head.

"What the hell!" He exclaimed as he shot out of his bed.

"We don't have five more minutes. We have to go see Lizzie and Eric." Mel said, dumping the empty bottle onto the floor.

"Mum and dad? Why?"

"To apologize, now get up and get dressed." Drew nodded. We exited the room and hear Sam getting up. I hastily pulled off my pyjama's and shoved on my jeans and a light blue t-shirt.

Once the boys were ready , we crept down the stairs and were about to open the door, when:

"Where are you guys going?"

Shit, I forgot about May.

I spun on my heel to face May.

"Where are you going?" She repeated.

"We are going to apologize to our mum. We though about the way we treated her today, no yesterday, urgh. Why do they call early morning night? It's morning." I refrained from hitting my sister. Mel elbowed her.

"As Alice was saying." Mel continued, "We realised we need to apologize to Lizzie, after all she has looked after us all these years."

"We will come back though." Sam said.

"But what's going to happen with Christmas?" May asked.

"I honestly don't know May but we will come back once we've sorted it out." I said.

"okay , what should I tell my parents?"

"We'll explain everything to them once we've got everything sorted, may." Drew said. She was facing him but it seemed as if her eyes went right through him. She slowly nodded her head, as if she barely acknowledged that he was there.

"Well, we'll go now. Drew how many people can flygon hold?" I asked.

"Enough." was his reply.

"Okay, May how many hotels are there in Petalburg?"

"Only one, the Petalburg Hotel."

"Original." Mel remarked.

"Come on let's go. Bye May." I waved as we ushered out the house.

"Flygon, let's go." Drew said as he released flygon form his pokeball. We all piled on before flygon took off the ground.

After a few minutes of searching from the sky, I spotted a massive building. There was a white sign beside it and in bold, gold letters it said:

PETALBURG HOTEL

"There!" I pointed, drew followed my gaze before steering flygon to the ground. We jumped off flygon before running into the building.

I skidded to a stop a couple of feet away from the front desk, for a few seconds.

I was swept off my feet as Alice knocked into me. I landed on top of her before seeing Drew, Mel and Sam trying to stop before they fell onto us.

They failed.

My lungs screamed for air as they crushed me with their combined weight.

"I know I am close to you guys, but please would you GET OFF!" I yelled. They jumped off and I helped Alice up off the ground.

"Um… May I help you?" Asked the woman behind the counter. Her brown eyes looked slightly scared and her strawberry blonde hair was pulled back into a tight bun.

"Can you tell us if anyone with the last name Hayden is here?" Sam asked, leaning on the counter.

"I'll check." We looked at each other nervously as the woman tapped some keys on the grey laptop that was beside her.

"I'm sorry, they checked out around three hours ago."

"Oh, right thanks anyway. Do you think it would be okay if we used your phones?" Sam asked.

"Sure." we walked away from the desk, and as soon as we stood in front of the phones we all looked at Sam, confused.

"Sam, why are we at the phones?" Alice asked.

"To call your parents, they will probably be in La Rousse by now, they do have a flygon as well. It takes around three hours to fly from Petalburg to La Rousse." Sam explained. We nodded and I picked up a phone before dialling in our number.

"ring-ring-ring, phone call! Phone call! Ring-ri-" The annoying ring was cut off. I looked up before sighing. It wasn't mum and dad. It was Cissy, our maid.

"Oh, hey Sarah."

"Hey Cissy, are mum and dad home, yet?" I could see Drew and Alice had crossed their fingers.

"No I'm sorry there not here."

"Oh. Okay then, just when you see them tell them that we are sorry and we will be back after Christmas."

"Okay, I'll pass on the message." I hung up before placing the phone back on the hook. I turned around.

"I guess we have to spend Christmas in Petalburg, then." Drew said, looking slightly down. I stood up and started walking out the building.

"Well, look on the bright side." I turned around and faced Mel, "Drew can spend more time with May!"

SLAP

Mel rubbed her head before sticking her tongue out at Drew, who looked very annoyed.

"I guess we better go back to May's then and explain what happened." Alice said. We all nodded before climbing back on Flygon and flew off.

REVIEW!

Oh, and the next chapter will be up whenever I get round to writing it. Hopefully in a week or two.
