There once was a girl who loved her family as much as her friends. She was a smart girl that stayed quiet mist of the time but when with friends she'd behave completely differently. She'd act more energetic and smile more often.
She would always be thinking positive things when there was though work to do. Always encouraging her friends when they were down in the dumps. She would always hope for the best for everyone she knew. The girl was satisfied with her life, enjoying every minute that she could with friends and family.
One day her mom came to her with a worried expression on her face. She handed her a necklace with a small bird hanging from the silver chain. As soon as the girl touched it, it began o glow a faint purple color.
Her mother put it around her daughter's neck and kissed her on the forehead. She told her daughter to pack her things that they were going for a long drive. Her mother seemed to be holding back tears as she put her daughter's things in the car.
The girl was happily enjoying the view of a new land she had never seen before. She kept playing with the little bird around her neck. He mother kept glancing over at her daughter who smiled at her lovely gift.
As soon as they reached their destination the girl hopped out of the car and held her mother's hand as they entered a large house-or in other words-a mansion. The mother led her daughter inside where they saw a few other kids waiting outside.
The girl looked at her mother puzzled on finding other kids she did not know also there. An elder woman came out with a few maids behind her. the old woman smiled and walked towards the mother who had tears falling down her face.
"Hello, I'm Evelyn. I suppose you are the mother of this beautiful girl you have brought here." She said kindly signaling for the maids to walk foreword to unload the items in the car.
"Nice to meet you." The mother started as she wiped away tears. "Yes, I'm her mother. Ella, say hello." The mother gestured for her daughter to introduce herself.
"Hello Mrs. Evelyn, my name is Ella! It's nice to meet you ma'am." Ella curtsied in a very respectful way. The old woman smiled and led them into the house-err-mansion.
They walked down the hallway and into a large room were five kids were seated talking quietly. There was a boy with brown hair talking to two of the kids that were also seated. The three girls he was talking to looked a little older than him.
Another girl was sitting near the window watching the snow fall to the ground. The girl had a faraway look on her face looking very elegant in her aqua colored dress and black snow boots.
The old woman cleared her throat and the kids looked at her. "Children, I'd like you all to meet your new friend Ell. She will also be joining you all here."
They got off their chairs and walked over to stand next to the older woman. All of them smiles except he girl who was by the window before. "She is nine years old, just like you, Nick and Sachiko." The woman continued.
"Please introduce yourself children." Evelyn ordered kindly.
The children lined up and began introducing themselves as: Nick, Sachiko, Kathy, Melody and Pav. After the quick introduction, Evelyn led them up stairs where she opened a door that revealed a very, very large bedroom with a privet bathroom, walk in closet and bookshelves full of books.
"This will be your new room Ella." Ella's mom whispered softly. Ella looked at her confused. "You're going to stay here with Mrs. Evelyn and the children from now on. Good bye Ella." She said before being escorted outside by a few maids.
After days of longing for her mother, Ella stayed and lived her life normally. Getting the best education she can get and making friends with the other kids who also lived there.
Ella, porter of the amulet of hope.
[O-O Normal POV O-O]
By the time they had arrived at their new location, it was already dark and the sun had already set. They were all tired from a hard day of work and kicking bad guy butt. Melody led the way to the gates of a very large house that was five times the size of any normal house.
May gawked at the size of the house. "Whoa! Who lives in there?" she asked after recovering from shock.
Melody turned to her and gave her a sad smile. "I do… but so do they." She continued pointing at everyone else. "And now, so do you."
Melody stared back in surprise as Melody walked up to the gate and typed a code and scanned her hand on a pad. The gates opened and everyone walked in. May was fiddling with the rose Drew had given her and kept blushing at the memory when she had kissed him.
The front doors swung open to reveal two long lines of maids and butlers. "Good evening and welcome back masters." they coursed bowing down formally.
Melody smiled and walked forward. "I do not enjoy when you act so formally." She replied softly making them all look up at her. "I've told you all before just to call us by our given names not by 'master'." She finished pushing May along.
"This is May Maple. She will also be joining us." May smiled and gave a nervous wave. The maids and Butlers smiled and bowed a second time.
"Well if you excuse us… Miss Melody, we will go and prepare your baths and start dinner preparations." Said a young maid who had her long, blond hair in a single braid. Melody nodded and they all went in their separate ways.
Ella and Kathy directed May up the long flight of stairs and in front of a door with her name engraved in a silver plate. "This is your room, May." Ella said opening the door to reveal a large bedroom.
May walked in and began glancing around the red colored room. There was an empty bookshelf made out of dark cherry wood, a desk in the far right corner of the room with pens and pencils organized neatly in the drawers, a queen sized bed was placed in the far left corner and a small desk next to the bed with a Torchick alarm clock on it.
May looked at Ella and Kathy and they both nodded already knowing what she was thinking. May ran around the room exploring every inch of it. Ella and Kathy just laughed as may began to jump on the bed. Melody, Sachiko and Nick entered watching May jump up and down on the bed.
"Do you like your room May?" Sachiko asked giggling.
May got off the bed and walked up to them. "Yes!" she exclaimed throwing her arms around all of them in a tight hug. "Wait until I tell Dawn and Mist-" she stopped abruptly when she remembered what had happened this morning.
Everyone exchanged looks and began to panic when May took out her Pokedex and typed a few things super quick and hit the send button. Everyone jumped on May; Sachiko managed to snatch the Pokedex out of May's hand.
"What are you doing May?" Ella yelled as everyone got off of each other.
"What did you just do?" Sachiko asked going pale as the words on the Pokedex blinked on and off.
"All I did was say one final goodbye to my friends. What so wrong about that?" May asked innocently after everyone finally got off of her.
"The problem is that when you sent the message, you also sent the address of the house!" Kathy cried running her hand through her hair. Pav came through the door looking confused.
"Why is that so wrong?" May asked not really understanding. "Does it matter if it had the address?"
"Yeas because they'll come and find you! We don't want them to get more involved than they already are!" Nick said leaning against the wall holding a struggling Melody.
Pav finally understood and began o give them good news to calm them down. "Uh, but isn't the bottom half used as a café? They'll just think you had stopped by here to eat. they won't think that you actually live here." She reasoned.
Everyone stood quiet for a moment before letting out a sigh of relief. "Now Melody, please hand me your Pokedex. I'll need to deactivate it." Pav said with an outstretched hand. May hesitated before giving to Pav.
After Pav took it she reached into her pocket and took out a bright red colored Pokedex that looked similar to May's but a lot more smoother. "This will be your new one. It has a camera installed and internet connection. This is the model that won't be out until next year." She said proudly.
"That cool!" May exclaimed happily as she examined her new Poke gear.
"It also has a contact list you can use to jot down our numbers." Ella continued.
After they exchanged numbers with May, there was a knock on the door. Nick opened it and a maid bowed and walked in. "Lady Melody, Mr. Barley is here. He mentioned something about having an appointment with Lady May." She finished.
Melody and May stared back confused. Pav eyes brightened and turned to the rest of them. "I asked him to come to see what he could do with May's hair." She declared happily.
May lifted her hands to touch her hair. "What's wrong with my hair?" May asked nervously.
"Nothing is wrong with your hair, May. It's just that you need to change your hairstyle. Drew and the rest of your friends will be able to find you faster if you don't change your hairstyle. Don't worry, it'll still be the same only that your hair will be pulled back a little." Pav stated pushing May out of the room.
When they reached the bottom of the stairs, there was a man with short blond hair looking around impatiently. When he saw hem he walked over and began examining Pav's hair. "This… this… this is awful! When was the last time you gave a treatment to your hair?" he asked angrily.
A vein witched on Pav's head as she slapped his hand away. "Last month. It's not me who you're supposed to see! It's her!" She said pointing at May.
Kathy smiled before whispering to May, "Ignore him if he says that your hair is awful. He thinks everybody's hair is awful except his own."
"Ah! You must be May! Nice to meet you! My name is Barley! I will rearrange your hair today!" He said taking out a pair of scissors. He began to lead May to a room that had a chair in the middle and a huge mirror in front.
Barley gestured for May to sit in the chair while he took out the equipment he was going to use. May sat nervously, waiting for him to finish taking out his tool. He turned to her with a comb and a pair of scissors in his hands.
He began to snip away at her hair evening it out and cutting off the dead ends she had. She watched her hair fall to the ground and she didn't enjoy it. After a while Barley began to examine her hair before letting her get off the chair and look at herself in the mirror.
At first May hesitated before finally looking up to see her reflection in the mirror. She gasped and touched her newly cut hair. Pav was right, it didn't look very different but she didn't look like anything she looked before. She could hardly recognize herself.
Her hair was combed back a bright red headband separating her bangs from her combed hair, the bottom part of her hair was curled inward making it look like before but differently. May was still admiring her new hairstyle when there was a knock on the door.
"Is she ready now? Can we come in?" Melody asked through the door.
May was pushed into the chair and Barley told her to hold a picture of her in front of her own face so it would be a surprise. Barley opened the door for them and they all came in waiting for the results.
"This," Barley said pointing at the picture May had in front of her face. "is the old May." He walked closer and took the picture from May's hands to reveal her new hairstyle. "and this is the new May."
Everyone began to clap their hands and complement May and Barley. Pav paid Barley then he left counting all the money on the way home. A maid came in saying that their baths were ready and that they should all take one.
May relaxed when she entered the warm water. She began to miss her friends and o remember the words Drew had whispered to her earlier that day. She blushed and sunk her head under water. Although, she could get used to living like this…
[/M/ One Year Later /M/]
May woke up to the sound of Sachiko banging on all the doors waking everyone up. She began screaming running around the bedroom part of the mansion. Everyone opened their doors to glare at Sachiko. She ignored the glared and began to hand Christmas ornaments on the walls and handing everyone wrapped packages.
"It's Christmas!" She yelled happily. Everyone turned from grumpy to surprised as they began to check their calendars to see if it really was Christmas.
Everyone was too busy working down at the café to remember what day or when Christmas was on. They had been getting a lot of customers lately and they were stressed out from working too much. May suddenly got over her sleepiness and began jumping around with Sachiko.
After everyone exchanged gifts, the all went down to eat breakfast and get ready for another busy day. They started decorating the outside of the building a little bit more than what they had already decorated.
After they had finally finished decorating, they all went to take a bath since they had to start work early today. May ran up stair into her room and turned on the faucet of the shower. She waited a while for the water to warm up until she took off her clothes and hopped in.
The warm water felt wonderful on her tired skin. She shampooed her hair then rinsed off quickly seeing that it was almost 8:30. They all worked in a large café that was at the bottom half of the mansion. That's who they earned money for food and other supplies.
Melody provided everything else. Air conditioning, heating, water, electricity and all of that kind of stuff, they didn't want to be lazy and make the maids and butlers do all the work around the house so they made a deal. They would work in the café while the maids and butlers just cleaned and made the food. that was all the workers had to do.
Melody and Ella came into the kitchen wearing short red dresses that reached their mid thigh with white fluff at the bottom and at the end of it's long sleeves, red snow boots and white tights under the dress and to top it off they were also wearing Santa hats.
Nick was already inside looking bored until he noticed the two come in. he wolf whistled and got off his chair to approach the two girls. "Wow… I'm gonna have to play bodyguard today to keep dirty hand off you too aren't i?" he said more of a statement than a question.
He was dressed normally with a white long sleeved dress shirt, black dress pants and the black vest he always wears. The only thing different was the elf hat he was wearing. He looked at them up and down until Ella shoved him out of the way before walking off.
Melody reacted to late and Nick was back on his feet cornering Melody. "Hey, how 'bout we be naughty tonight and lock ourselves in my room? I bet we'll make a lot of noise tonight. We won't let the others sleep because of our noise making." He said smoothly, liking Melody's reaction.
Melody blushed and tried to push him out of the way but he wouldn't budge. "N-no thanks." She said softly as she tried yet again to push him away.
Just then, Pav came in wearing similar clothing like Melody and Ella. Once she saw Nick and Melody in a corner she sighed. "Nick, if you're going to do anything to her, do it anywhere else besides my kitchen." She said.
Nick smirked and nudged a blushing Melody. "come on, les go get the ingredients we need for today's special." He said taking her hand and leading her out of the kitchen. Pav's eyes widened when she noticed what was above the door.
"Nick wait!" she cried trying to stop them before it was too late. They turned to see her but they were already under the door. "there's Mistletoe under the door…" she said too late.
They looked up and sure enough, there was a mistletoe hanging from the door. Nick smirked at Pav who looked horrified. "I know. I put it up there." He said slyly as he turned to look at Melody. Melody looked unsure as he smirked at her.
"I-I have to k-kiss you, right?" she asked blushing. Nick nodded and leaned down to meet her eye level. She held her breath as she started to lean towards him slowly. Nick blinked for a second and felt Melody's lips on his cheek.
She dared out of the room passed Sachiko and Kathy who were also dressed up like Melody and Ella. Nick ran after her saying that it didn't count and that it was supposed to be on his lips.
They all laughed and began to open up and greet customers that occasionally dropped by to see the female most of all. Nick was still complaining about the kiss Melody gave him and Melody said that he told her to kiss him but didn't say where.
"Be happy she at least dared to kiss you Nick." Ella said putting cake mixture into the oven.
"Yeah, you should've been more specific if you wanted the kiss somewhere else." Melody teased.
There was suddenly screaming coming from the café. They all exited the kitchen to see a panicking May who was trying to cover up her face. There was a bunch of girls running over to a person who couldn't be seen very well but his abnormally green colored hair could be seen a mile away.
"Drew?" Melody said surprised. "What is he doing here? is he here alone or is anyone else with him?" she asked calmly.
Sachiko came running by and told everyone that he wasn't alone. "Max is also with him! Melody he's asking for you!" she exclaimed pointing a finger at Drew.
