Chapter Ten: Pure Insanity
Drew's POV
Groaning slightly, I opened my eyes to be blinded by light, forcing me to squint until my vision adapted. Once that happened, I widened my eyes as my body soared through the thin condensation, the icy cold water settling on my face.
I smiled, for the cloud cooled off my body after it had overheated before.
'Wait…' I thought, a puzzling expression upon my face. 'Cloud…?'
Turning around, I saw the snow white cloud glowing proudly as the sun's rays shined down, and a little uneasily, I slowly turned my attention to what was below me, and gasped in both fear and shock.
I must have been 2,000, no, 3,000, no-ugh! I just kept getting higher and higher and the air kept getting colder and colder.
I then turned my attention to what was above me as I passed through the Earth's atmospheres and was greeted by a new deep blue sky, this one shimmering with stars.
"I wonder how I can breathe…" I asked my self, looking down at the Earth.
The whole Earth was now visible, and I could see the where the sun's rays hit down on its surface, the other side blanketed with shadows.
"It's so blue, and so amazing…" I said aloud, admiring the planet in which I had always taken for granted.
'I wish May could see this…' I thought with a sigh.
All of the sudden though, a bright light flashed once more, this one covering my whole body, completely blinding me and I felt myself slowly lose consciousness…
I slowly opened my eyes and cringed as I felt a slight pain jolt through my arm.
"Oh, thank god you're awake!" I heard May say.
Struggling a little, I managed to sit up and scanned my surroundings.
'Was it all just a dream?' I thought, turning my attention to May.
"How long have I been out?" I asked.
May shrugged. "About two hours, three at the most."
I frowned. "That long?"
May nodded. "Yeah…"
I sighed, getting to my feet and looked back at my arm to see if the mark was till there. But instead of a scar, there was some sort of red cloth wrapped around it.
"W-What's this?" I asked.
May smiled. "That's my bandana."
"Why is your bandana wrapped around my arm?"
"Well, I found out that these particular thorns happen to be poisonous, and could in fact kill humans. So, since I really don't want you dead, I healed it."
I blinked. "You did? How?"
May shook her head. "That's not important right now. We should really focus on getting out of here."
I nodded in agreement. "Right."
"Hey, May! Check this out!" I called.
May smiled as she headed in my direction. "It's Goldenrod City!"
I nodded. "Yeah, let's go before one of us gets hurt again."
May nodded as well as she followed me into the city.
"It's so big!" she admired, spinning around in a circle.
I laughed. May was so carefree, she reminded me of a little kid. She had matured, but it was just her spirit. She didn't have a worry in the world…
"Well, we should probably check into a hotel." I said.
May stared at me questionably. "A hotel?"
I nodded. "Yeah, remember? I said we'd stay at a hotel in this town."
May smiled. "Oh yeah! I remember now."
"Uh-huh. First we just need to find one."
"Well, how hard could a hotel be to find?"
"Not very."
"Then I guess we just walk around until we find one."
"Okay."
"Hey, here's a hotel!" May pointed out.
I smiled as I scanned the building.
"Yeah, this'll do." I said.
May laughed as she ran into the hotel, me trailing behind.
"Hello?" May called as she approached the counter.
"Here, try ringing the bell." I suggested pointing at the silver bell.
May nodded. "Okay." she said as she began to tap lightly on the tip of the bell.
"Coming!" said a voice and a few moments later a woman made he way over to them.
"What can I do for you?" she asked.
"We'd like a room, please." I said.
The woman nodded. "Okay."
After filling out some information, we finally got the key to our room and made our way upstairs.
"Well, here we are." I said as I unlocked the door and stepped inside.
"Wow, this is really nice!" May exclaimed, observing the room.
I shrugged. "Better than a pokémon center."
May smiled. "Definitely."
I sighed as I took a seat on one of the beds.
"Okay, May. What do you want to do now?"
May laughed. "You said we could go shopping, 'member?"
I rolled my eyes. "Oh yeah…"
"Well let's go already!" May said taking my arm and dragging me outside the hotel.
Third Person POV
"Whoa, it's huge!" May gasped, looking straight up at the many floors.
Drew shrugged. "Like I said, this place is famous for its large malls and what not. People from all over come here just to shop."
May, not paying much attention to Drew, giggled as she ran through the automatic doors as Drew sighed deeply, regrettably beginning to follow her in.
"Okay, where do you want to go first?" May asked overly excited. It was obvious she hadn't gone shopping in quite a long time.
Drew sighed. "I don't care, let's just make this quick."
May laughed as she shook her head. "You can't be serious!"
Drew rolled his eyes. "Debatable."
May laughed once more as she took Drew by the arm.
"Here, let's try this place first!" she exclaimed, dragging him into an Abercrombie and Fitch.
Once Drew's body entered the boundaries of the store, everything got dark; the only light was coming from blinding multi-color flashes.
The walls were covered with large posters of half naked people and the heads of different types of dead animals.
And to make matters worse, the music, which was some sort of crappy rap or pop, blasted through out the whole store, making Drew feel like his ears were about to start bleeding at any moment.
In fact, he was surprised this place hadn't been put under any charges yet.
"MAY, WHAT IS THIS PLACE?!" Drew yelled, trying to get himself heard over the booming speakers.
May, who had a goofy smile on her face, looked around before hearing Drew's voice.
"YES IT IS A LOVELY DAY TODAY!" May yelled back, obviously unable to understand Drew over the music.
Drew rolled his eyes. He was in fact able to understand May, for her voice was much stronger; it was able to pierce right through the rhythm of the tune.
"OH MY GOD CHECK OUT THIS SUPER CUTE PINK TANG TOP!" bellowed a girl, most likely a prep.
May and Drew turned around to see a party of at least 10 preps, all of them huddling around a clothing rack of tang tops.
Once hearing the first prep's statement, the others all squealed excitedly as they all started violently grabbing the shirts, shoving one another as they cursed at each other insanely.
"OH AND IT'S ONLY 200 DOLLARS!" the same prep as before screamed, the other preps giggling insanely.
"THAT'S SOOOO CHEAP! WE ALL NEED TO TOTALLY BUY IT SO WE CAN BE WALKING BILLBOARDS!" squealed another prep.
All the preps cheered, sprinting over to the cashier who had a creepy smiled plastered on her face as she waved slowly.
"Hello…" she said slowly with the same creepy smiled which never appeared to leave her face.
"MAY, CAN WE GET OUT OF HERE?" Drew yelled louder than before so May could here him better, which luckily she did.
"OKAY, FINE!" she replied rolling her eyes as they both exited the store.
"That was creepy…" Drew said breathing heavily.
May shrugged. "It wasn't that bad…"
Drew rolled his eyes. "Beg to differ."
May laughed. "Oh well, next store!"
Drew frowned. "Okay, but this time I'm picking where we go next."
May crossed her arms. "Oh, okay…"
Drew smiled. "Good. Now, how about that one?" he asked, stopping when the came across and EBGames.
May blinked. "Sure, why not?"
"This place looks boring…" May groaned, scanning the many shelves of video games as well as the systems they were made fore.
Drew shrugged. "It's not that bad in here…why don't you buy something?"
May sighed. "Fine." she answered unfazed as she made her way over to the Game Cube section.
As May was busying herself with that, Drew found himself drawn to the Nintendo Wii they had out on display.
"Hey Drew, how about this one?" May asked holding up a game.
"Yeah, sure…" Drew answered, not even looking in May's general direction.
"Huh? What are you looking at Drew?" May asked cocking her head slightly.
"Check it out." Drew said, pointing to the gaming system.
"What is it?"
"A Nintendo Wii."
May smiled brightly. "It looks like fun! Can I try?"
Drew shrugged. "Why not?"
May laughed as she ran over to it. "How does it work?"
"I'll show you." said Drew, picking up the controller and turning it on.
The Nintendo Wii started up, and took Drew straight to the game since it was only a demo.
"Oh, it's tennis!" May exclaimed.
Drew arched an eyebrow. "You have something against tennis?"
May smiled and shook her head. "No."
Drew nodded. "Alright, good. First of all, this system is interactive. You swing the controller as though it were a real racket."
"That's really cool!"
"Yeah it is."
"Then what?"
"Then you play the game…"
"Oh, I knew that!"
Drew rolled his eyes. "Of course you did…"
May giggled. "Continue."
Drew nodded as he started the match, swinging the controller when the ball got to his side of the court.
"Whoa, can I have a turn now?" May asked.
Drew smiled slightly as he handed the controller to May, who gladly accepted it.
"Are you sure you know what you're doing?" Drew asked, a little unsure about this.
May smiled brightly. "How hard could it be?"
Drew crossed his arms as May began to play, violently swinging as though she was trying to knock out some kind of killer.
"May, calm down." Drew said, taking a step back figuring that May wouldn't listen.
May ignored Drew, becoming more frustrated at the fact that she couldn't hit the ball until she ended up chucking it at the screen, shattering it all over the maroon carpet.
"Oops…" May said, quietly putting a hand over her mouth as Drew stood there in shock.
All of the sudden, a bunch of Japanese men in grey suits came crawling out from under the front desk, as a woman with a creepy smile gradually rose up waving slowly.
"That was uncalled for…" drew said as they roamed the mall once more.
May nodded in agreement. "It sure was…"
Drew shrugged. "Oh well. Where to next?"
"Well, I need a new hat…how about that hat store?"
"Okay."
"Look at all the hats!" May exclaimed once she entered the store.
"Um…it's a hat store" Drew stated.
May laughed. "I'm going to pick one out!"
Drew rolled his eyes as he watched May disappear within the stacks of hats.
A little while later, May came back with the same bandana she had on before, only it was lime green.
"I'm sooo out there!" May said, spinning around in circles so she could show it off.
"It looks exactly the same…" Drew said.
May frowned. "No it doesn't! I'm going to buy it!"
"Have fun."
May giggled as she ran up to the cashier, who was waving slowly with a big creepy smile plastered to her face.
"Hello…" she said slowly.
May smiled. "Hi Mary!" she said after taking a look at the tag on her shirt that read, "My name isn't Mary'.
The cashier said nothing and continued to wave.
"Um, I'd like to buy this bandana…" May said, handing the bandana to her.
Mary's smile grew bigger as she snatched the bandana and quickly ducked beneath the desk, producing sounds that sounded like a drunk dolphin that was trapped inside a cement truck.
"Are you okay?" May asked feeling a little concerned.
The cashier finally rose with the bandana folded neatly in a plastic bag and handed it to her.
May laughed nervously. "Thanks…" she said as she walked out the door, Drew following.
"I'm sooo out there!" May said, spinning around to show off her new shoes.
"They look exactly the same…" Drew said as he tried on his new shoes which were white.
May frowned. "No! They're different colors! I'm going to buy it!"
"Have fun…wait, I need to buy mine too."
May and Drew both approached the cashier, who was waving slowly with a creepy smile on her face.
"Hello…" she said slowly.
May arched an eyebrow. "Aren't you the same—"
"No…"
Drew shook his head. "Whatever, let's just buy these."
May nodded a little uneasily. "Okay…"
"Alright, can we try to go some place normal this time?" Drew asked a little irritated.
May nodded. "Sure, why don't you pick the place?"
"Gladly. How about that Sears?"
"Fine with me."
"HEY LOOK A SLIDE!" May exclaimed happily when the entered the store.
Drew arched an eyebrow as he followed May over to the red slide.
"Um, May? You do know this slide is for two year olds…right?"
May laughed as she climbed the one step up and took a seat at the top.
"Here I go!" she said pushing herself off. "WHEEEE!" she cried, her hands in the air as she slowly went down, only to snap it in half once she got about ¾ of the way down.
Drew rolled his eyes as May got to her feet and dusted herself off.
"My bad!" she giggled putting her hand over her mouth.
"WHAT WAS THAT?!" an arranged voice yelled.
Drew arched an eyebrow as a large man came into view, the word 'manager' plastered to his shirt.
"I broke the slide!" May said happily, as Drew slapped his forehead.
"GET OUTTA MY SORE!"
May laughed as she ran towards the exit, Drew behind her.
"We need to get formal clothes." Drew stated.
May arched an eyebrow. "What, why?"
"Because, the restaurant we're going to his formal. Therefore, we wear formal clothing."
May rolled her eyes. "Oh okay…"
Drew smiled. "Good. Now how about we go in there?"
May sighed. "Sure."
"Alright, once we get our clothes we'll meet back here." Drew explained.
May nodded. "Got it." she said going off in dome direction with Drew going in the opposite.
An hour later…
Drew crossed his arms as he tapped his foot, impatiently waiting for May.
"Where is she?" he wondered out loud.
"Sorry I took so long!" May apologized, running over to where Drew was waiting for her.
Drew frowned. "What took so long?"
May smiled brightly. "I had to pick out the perfect dress!"
Drew rolled his eyes. "Okay, whatever, let's just go someplace else…"
"Okay, my turn to pick a place!" May said excitedly.
Drew frowned. "Okay…where do you want to go?"
"Spencers!"
Drew arched an eyebrow. "Spencers?"
May nodded. "Yeah!"
"It's dark in here!" May stated happily.
"No kidding…"
May giggled, ignoring Drew, and ran over to a bunch of T-Shirts on display.
Drew walked through the store slowly, scanning all the items within it, a slightly disturbed look upon his face.
After Drew got the basic idea of what this place was about, he went over to May, who was staring at the T-Shirts with a smile on her face.
"I don't get it!" she said happily.
Drew arched an eyebrow as he stared at the shirt, which had some sort pf perverted remark on it.
"Um, May?"
"Yeah?"
"I think we should get out of here…"
Drew sighed. "What store are you planning to torture me in now?"
May paused as she pondered on it for a moment.
"Oh, I know! That toy store!"
Drew frowned. "A toy store? You must be joking."
May shook her head. "Nope!"
Drew's frown deepened. "Well, okay…"
"LOOK A BUCKET OF TENNIS BALLS!" May exclaimed excitedly.
"You're easily amused, aren't you?"
May laughed as she ran over to the bucket.
Drew sighed as he turned around to see what this store had on sail, when his train of thought was interrupted.
"Catch!"
(Wham!) Drew cringed as the tennis ball that had just hit his back fell to the floor, bouncing a few times before finally coming to a stop.
"What was that for?" Drew asked angrily, turning over to glare at May.
May giggled. "It's not my fault you suck at catching!"
Drew clenched his fist as he made his way over to May, but was stopped when a woman stepped in his way.
A familiar woman…
…Mary to be exact.
"What the hell? Why are you in every store?" Drew demanded, frustrated that she had gotten in his way.
"No violence…" she said slowly with that same creepy smile. "Or I might just have to get my squirt gun…"
"Why you little--"
"Squirt, squirt!" Mary said, a small stream of water coming from the squirt gun which she obtained from absolutely no where.
"Um, it's not even hitting me…" Drew said.
"Look how wet you are…"
Drew arched an eyebrow as he suddenly took May by the hand and led her out the store, and out of the mall as well.
"Hey, why'd we leave the mall?" May questioned still being dragged by Drew.
"This place isn't normal." Drew mumbled.
May frowned as they stopped in front of their hotel.
"Well, we're here." Drew stated.
"Um, Drew?"
"Yeah?"
"You're still holding my hand…"
Drew blushed as he looked down, finding that May was right.
"O-Oh, sorry…" he said letting go of May, who was also a glowing a shade of red by now.
"It's okay…" she said softly. "Um, but we better get inside…"
Drew nodded. "R-Right…"
Drew and May then went inside the hotel, and up to their room shutting the door behind them.
There you have it! The next chapter is when they go out to eat, and I don't know when the next time I'll be able to update...but anyways, review!
