Hey everyone! I'm back! You guys would probably think, finally she is back. It had been like, over one month since she updated! Well, that is because I need to write my two other long stories and do a one shot. Besides that, I've gotten new inspiration for three other stories! But! I would not be doing them till I do finish at least one of the stories.
About my school problems: Since this year I'm starting secondary school, work is so much more and they are tougher. To top all of them all, I reached home about 3 or 4 plus in the afternoon. After showering and doing homework, it is like, dinner time already. So I really apologized for not updating for such a long time!
Oh ya! This chapter... MAJOR OLDRIVALSHIPPING!
My reply to some reviews:
CherryKitten13: Yeah...I kinda agree on it now that I started looking through the Pokémon fic...
Big big Misty fan: Yup. It kinda hit my mind that they might do that stuff. And no problem about the dedication part!
Natsumi-x: LOL! Glad you like the story
LeafxGreenx3: Yup, they do!
DAMLWinner: Yes, she likes Justin. And...(SPOLIER!) Cornelia would not have a good ending in this story for sure!
And so...ONWARDS TO LEAF & GARY'S DATE! (Ooh! I'm so excited!)
This chapter...Dedicated to my new reader, Natsumi-x!
Disclaimer: DarkRoseDiamond does not own Pokémon...I've said that already in the previous few chapters!
In the previous chapter...
"Anyways, she deserves it now." Amelia said finally. "Yeah. She should've looked at your good points instead of bad." I added, agreeing with Amelia. "Come on, let's go back home. We are mostly done here. All we need to do is to find out the secret of the tree! And finding out secrets is OUR specialty!"
Amelia agreed and they raced back to the car.
Then...
SNAP!
Chapter 11: An Old Rivalry
(Misty's POV)
"Since the popcorn and nachos are gone, what else do we have?" Crystal whispered to me. "I guessed I better go get some other stuff." Misty whispered back. "But remember, we cannot NOT use our brilliant mess plan on them tonight." Crys said evilly. Misty smirked. "I'll be back soon." With that, she left the room, heading over to the food booth.
(With Leaf and Gary...) (Leaf's POV)
Hmm...The movie is really interesting! I'm just so glad I had agreed to Gary! I wonder what the rest of my friends are doing back at The Petals. I also wonder how May's date with Drew is going, I'm sure it would be great though. Actually, I'm feeling rather guilty about going for this date and leave the rest along in The Petals.
But then again, I had wanted to go out with Gary; just he alone for ages! Don't tell anyone ok? After all, no one knows just yet!
Brr...Looks like the sweater I brought here is just not enough for the movie theatre. Oh well. After all, the movie is gonna end in like, 30 minutes right?
(Gary's POV)
Beside me, I could see Leaf trembling. Heh, the main reason why I actually chose to watch this movie with her is because I've already watched it, so I could actually spend the rest of the time right now admiring Leaf.
"Are you feeling cold?" I asked, concerned when I saw Leaf's teeth chattering. "Nope! I'm fine." Leaf stuttered. I raised my eyebrow and said, "No, you are not. Here, have my jacket." Leaf hesitated before accepting my jacket gratefully.
I put my arm around her and soon, she stopped shivering. I smile to myself. Now this date is getting interesting.
(With Honey, Victoria and Candy...) (Normal POV)
"AHH! That should be ME!" Victoria screeched when she saw the 'moment' Gary and Leaf had. (A/N: CHEERS OLDRIVALSHIPPERS!)
"Argh! I can't see why Gary bear would like that... that person!" Victoria could hardly contain her anger.
"Excuse miss." A voice spoke to Honey's right side. "YES?" Honey snapped, also getting fired up at the idea of Gary and Leaf together. "I would like to inform you that quite a number of people had complained about the ridiculous amount of noise you and your friends are making here. So I would like to tell you to..." The manager paused for effect.
"What?" Candy snapped rudely.
"GET YOUR BUTT OUTTA HERE!" The manager finished with a straight face.
Crystal and Misty, who had returned from her trip to the food stand, were holding their stomachs as they held on to their giggles. When they finally managed to calm down, Misty whispered, "Looks like we don't have to do much to get them out of here." "Yeah! They got themselves out!" Crys giggled.
"Aww..." Crys continued, staring at the cute couple totally engrossed in the movie. Misty smirked and said, "I think we better get back to the mansion. After all, we would not like to be light bulbs to them right?"
Crys laugh lightly and the duo left the cinema.
(With Dawn)
(Normal POV)
BANG!
"Ouch... My head..." Dawn groaned, with her eyes closed. "Oh! Dawn! Are you okay?" Kenny asked, offering her a hand. Dawn accepted it, and Kenny pulled her up...
Into his arms.
(A/N: Did you guys think it was Paul who banged into Dawn? :P )
"Ooh... Haha... I think I'm still a bit dizzy." Dawn said as she held on to Kenny for support. "Ahh... Never mind..." Kenny sighed, stroking Dawn's navy blue hair.
"Thanks so much!" Dawn squealed once she was normal again. She hugged Kenny and Kenny hugged back.
And then Dawn...
(With Amelia)
"Wahh... Head spinning..." I muttered as I spun round and round while clutching my head in pain. "Woah! Steady now!" A familiar voice spoke. "Justin?" I questioned, still clutching my head.
"The one and only." He chuckled. For some reason, I felt my heart flutter and my stomach is like twisting itself into knots.
He held on to me until I feel better. Paul asked, "Hey Amelia, where's Dawn?" "Dawn? I don't know... She must have separate from me when we bang into each other..." I replied. "Wow... I did not know that is impact is so hard." I mused.
"OW OW OW!" Somebody whined in the bushes behind me. The three of us (Paul, Justin and I) turned around with questioning looks on our faces.
Turns out that I did not collide with Justin and Paul only. Brendan and Barry were added into the mix too. "Are you guys okay?" I asked, with concern in my voice. They must have a harder impact than me since they are still groaning.
"Pain..." Barry whined. He stood up, but after a few seconds, staggered. Thus, I held to him. I do not want him to tumble to the ground again!
Then I noticed Justin and Paul standing to one side, with bored looks on their faces. And Brendan was still groaning and rolling around on the floor. "Hey!" I called to the bored twosome. "Aren't you gonna help him out?"
Barry groaned and held on to me tighter. Paul pulled Brendan up. And Justin said, "I'll take it from here" to me before priding Barry's fingers off my shoulder.
"Gee... You guys are sure weird sometimes..." I muttered.
"AHH! Where's Kenny?" Brendan screamed when he realised his buddy was missing. "We can't find Dawn as well. Why don't we split up and find them?" Justin suggested. "Amelia, Paul and I in one group while you and Barry in the other.
"AMELIA! Why don't you group with me and Brendan for once? You've been grouping with Justin and Paul for soooooo many group activities already." Barry pointed out. "Um... Alright?" I said, confused. Since when did splitting ourselves become so difficult?
"I still think it is better for Amelia to come –" Justin started, but was cut off by Brendan. "Why not like this, Amelia and Barry be in one group. And I'll group up with you and Paul? I can contact Barry or Amelia and contact you guys if we can find Kenny or Dawn."
"Hmm, I think that is a good idea!" Barry said cheerfully. "Come on Amelia! Time's a wasting! Let's go!" Barry, returning to his hyper self, dragged my off.
"Looks like we don't have much of a choice now." Paul said stiffly. "Let's begin the search."
"I think they should be in this general direction. I think I saw Kenny shoot forward when we collide." Brendan said thoughtfully. "Why don't you say this earlier? Barry and Amelia had gone the wrong way then!" Justin exclaimed.
"Well... I could be wrong. Play safe. If I'm really correct, then good. But if I'm wrong, at least they will be searching at the other side." Brendan shrugged.
(Brendan's POV)
Heh. Obviously, I know that Barry likes Amelia. And with that Justin pest around, they would never get together. This is a GOLDEN opportunity for Amelia to notice Barry! I mean, yeah, Amelia knows Barry, already notice him... but she doesn't get to associate with Barry MORE! Why? Because there is that Justin person trying to win Amelia's love as well! And I'm so gonna help Barry!
(With Barry and Amelia...) (Barry's POV)
WHEE! Finally, Amelia is with me and me alone! No longer have that Justin Pea brain hanging around! "Are you sure we are on the right track?" Amelia asked. "Huh- what?" I stuttered. Obviously, in the midst of my thinking, I just HAD to miss what Amelia said!
"I said, are you sure we are on the right track?" Amelia repeated. "I'm sure. Why?" I asked, dumbfounded. "Because I'm pretty sure we just walked one big round?" Amelia said sarcastically, gesturing to our surroundings.
Yup. She is right. We are back to where we started from. The unfortunate lump of grass all of us squashed due to the bang. "Err... So what do you want me to do?" I asked, since that is the only thing I can think of saying. Amelia rolled her eyes and sighed. Uh oh... not such a good sign...
"Do you have a flying type Pokémon with you?" She asked, searching her bag. "Yup. I got my Staraptor." I said.
"Good, we will search by air then. It would be much, much easier." Amelia said, pulling out a pokeball.
Pretty soon, we are up in the air. Me on Staraptor while Amelia is on Altaria. We flew, past Paul, Justin and Brendan. Past the big lake. Then we saw Kenny and Dawn in another clearing.
They were hugging each other. And from Dawn's bright eyes, we can tell she is not dizzy. Then... Dawn kissed Kenny. Willing. On the lips.
Judging from the look on Amelia's face, I can see that that scene, is not what she would like to see.
I made Staraptor fly closer to Altaria. And put a comforting arm around Amelia.
(With the bored trio... Justin, Paul and Brendan...) (Paul's POV)
This. Is. Getting. Very. Infuriating.
Being with Brendan is very infuriating. Justin and I are silent to the bone. All thanks to Brendan. Why? Because we can't discuss ANYTHING with him being with us. Remember, our group, Heartthrobs are GREAT, BIG ENEMIES with Brendan and his gang.
"Are you sure we are going the right way?" Justin asked, breaking the silence. "Yes." Brendan said. With that, the silence returned.
"Hey! I think I can see Kenny and Dawn now!" Justin cried, and started to run. Brendan and I chased after him. I knew very well in his mind, he was thinking 'finally! We can get out of this never ending silence!'
The suddenly, Justin stopped. Brendan and I banged right into him. I heard some flapping of wings. I looked up, so did the other two. Up there, we saw Barry and Amelia. Barry had an arm around here. Amelia looked as if she was about to faint.
Then we saw what they were staring at. Kenny and Dawn. In the clearing. Kissing happily away.
I started running back to the car park. Justin was chasing after me. Brendan smirked as he slowly walks away from the scene, hands in the pocket. Amelia silently flew away. Barry did the same.
DUN... DUN... DUN!
Dawn and Kenny? Not right right? No worries, this will all change in a matter of time... Right? Right! Although I will have to be a teensy bit mean and say, WAIT FOR IT!
I'm so sorry again, for this super late update. I almost thought of putting this as hiatus, but no... I will persevere and continue updating!
Review please? Hopefully, I will be motivated by your reviews and thus, write much much faster. I should be updating His and Her side of life next... Cause I'm having a writer's block for The Past and The present: Love or Fame.
Once again... I'm so sorry! If you guys don't mind, you guys can visit my blog. The link is in my profile. I will update my blog on the story progress. Since I can blog on my phone but can't type stories with it... tsktsktsk =,="
CYA!
