Episdoe 14:Birthday Chaos {Part I}

November 3rd

"Happy birthday," Iris and Ash shouted greeting their green haired friend on the morning of his day of birth. Cilan smiled at his thoughtful friends who had wrapped boxes in their hands. Cilan loved his two best friends so much, he didn't know what he was missing until he got them. They made him feel like he belonged, he felt their pain, he felt alone without them. They understood him.

"Thanks guys, you're the best," Cilan thanked them. Ash slid a cone-shaped birthday hat onto Cilan's head, he removed his own hat revealing his uncombed hair and slid on the birthday hat. Lastly he slid the last hat onto Iris's head, but the string soon snapped because of the size of Iris's hair. Ash and Cilan chuckled at this, but Iris just pouted.

Ash shoved the box that was wrapped in green wrapping paper into Cilan's hands. Cilan beamed, Ash knew green was Cilan's favorite color.

I can't believe they remembered, Cilan thought as his eyes went to the box in Iris's hands which was wrapped in a wrapping paper that was many different shades of green.

"Open it now," Ash exclaimed, he was all jumpy and hyper that morning, probably because of all the sugar he added into his already sugary froot loops earlier that morning.

"Okay," Cilan replied, slowly pulling on the bow to untie it. Ash hated when people did that, it took out all the excitement from opening a present.

"Hurry Up," the impatient boy whined. Iris rolled her eyes at her friend's childish behavior.

"Okay, Okay," Cilan started to untie the bow faster. Ash shook his head, snatching the present box from the older boy's hands and ripping off the green wrapping paper.

"Someone is kind of impatient," Cilan muttered stating the obvious. Once all the wrapping paper was off and around the raven haired boy's feet Ash opened the box and pulled out a new conductors hat that had Cilan's name imprinted across the middle in green letters. Cilan's eyes gleamed with happiness as he saw the beautiful hat.

"Oh! Thank you Ash! This is a wonderful birthday gift," he exclaimed, the grin on his face not going anywhere.

"Here," Iris said handing Cilan her box. Cilan and Iris had become close since he took care of her when she was sick that time. It was the confessing that did the trick. Confessing always seemed to bring people closer together, though sometimes it pushed them farther apart.

Instead of slowly opening the box like he had done before, Cilan followed in Ash's lead and ripped off the wrapping paper, which soon littered the hallway floor around the green haired boy's feet. Inside not one but two presents sat in the box. One present was a box set of the famous kiddy train show Thomas and Friends, the other present was a small model of an underground subway, complete with a model subway station.

"Thank you Iris! These gifts are great," Cilan exclaimed pulling his two friends into a big, warm hug.

"Your welcome," the duo said in unison.

"Your going to be even happier when we go to this," Ash said once they had all pulled away from the hug. The boy had pulled out three orange tickets from his jean pockets. The tickets all read Poké Fall Fair on them. The Poké Fall Fair was a fair that only came in fall around late october and early november. No one really knew the orgin of the fair but that didn't stop loads of people from coming. The place was Unova's tourist trap.

"Ohh, I haven't been to one of those in a while," Cilan stated while Ash handed one of the tickets to the green haired boy.

"One for you, one for Iris-," he said handing one to Iris, who soon shoved the ticket back at him.

"I can't go with you guys," Iris stated quietly. She absolutely dreaded the reason why.

"Why not," Ash whined, though in his mind he had an idea of why she couldn't and it involved a certain blonde Pokémon trainer who happened to go by the name of Trip and that owned title of Iris's boyfriend.

"Because Trip already invited me to go with him, and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't like it if I ditched him to go with you guys," Iris explained. Cilan cringed at the name of his best friend's boyfriend. Cilan was kind of scared at the younger blonde boy. He could not understand why the boy was so violent towards his girlfriend of all people. But he had an idea that it had to do with the sad, and scared look in his grey eyes. The look was unlike the determined look he had in Freshman year.

"I see, it is really to bad that you cannot accompany us Iris," Cilan said politely even though he felt like screaming.

"When are you gonna dump that jerk anyways," Ash asked. Iris glared at the raven haired boy for being so loud about the situation. She honestly didn't know when she was going to break up with him, she actually didn't even know if she could. Fear had stopped her many times before.

"I don't know Ash," she answered plainly, looking down at her sneakers.

"Why don't you know," Ash asked raising his voice a bit. "You should just get it over with already." He didn't mean for any of it to sound rude and loud but it sure came out sounding that way, the reason being his pure hatred towards the blonde.

"Why do you even care so much," she shouted. She hated when people raised their voices at her and she sure did not appreciate people piling on questions that frankly she did not want to answer.

"Because I don't want to lose you again," Ash shouted back. Now some of their peers were watching the two teens argument. Those nosey teenagers.

"That is enough guys, lets just head to class," Cilan butted in, trying to keep his two friends from fighting anymore on his special day.

"Whatever," Ash muttered, pouting.

"Such a kid," Iris muttered under her breath, crossing her arms over her chest. Cilan chuckled as he opened his locker and placed the present boxes inside, grabbing his book for class in the process.

"I'm not a kid," Ash retorted.

"Yes you are," Iris smirked. Ash just glared at the girl.

Why are girls so insane, Ash thought to himself. Cilan got in the middle of his two bickering friends, pulling them towards their classes.

"You guys are both children in my opinion," Cilan muttered, "I'm the only mature one in this trio."

"No your not," Iris and Ash shot back in unison.

After School

Ash jumped off the steps of the bus excited and disappointed. He was excited that he and Cilan could hang together on Cilan's birthday but he bought an extra ticket that Iris could not even take since she was going with her boyfriend, who he didn't even know why she stayed with.

"Hey Ash," greeted a familiar voice. The voice belonged to a girl Ash knew very well as Misty.

"Hey Mists," Ash greeted back nonchalantly. His usual tenseness and stuttering that he felt around the carrot top strangely didn't seem to come up that day.

Misty stood up from the steps that lead to her cerulean blue house, and ran over to her raven haired friend. Next thing Ash knew Misty had engulfed him into a hug like she hadn't seen him in years or something. The hug didn't come with the spark and warmness that it used to bring to the young trainer. He hugged her back though.

"So Ash, watcha doing today," Misty asked, smiling at him after the two had pulled away from the short hug. She could feel butterflies in her stomach just talking to her childhood friend. She had always liked Ash but was always too scared to confess to him her true feelings even though she was quite a strong girl.

"Today is my friend, Cilan's birthday so me and him are going to the Poké Fall Fair together," Ash explained quite cheerfully.

"Him and I," Misty corrected.

"What," Ash asked confused.

"You said me and him but the correct way to say it is him and I," Misty explained. She always seemed to have something to correct him about.

"Whatever it doesn't matter," he said, rolling his chocolate-brown eyes. Misty ruffled the boy's hair and he just smiled up to her.

"Always the same," she said to herself.

Not really, Ash thought to himself.

"I wish I could go to the Poké Fall Fair with you guys," Misty said as she got back on the topic of Cilan's birthday.

"Well I do have an extra ticket-," Ash started but he was soon cut off by his ginger friend.

"Okay, Okay, Ash you don't have to beg, I'll go with you," Misty joked. Ash rolled his eyes at his old friend and slipped the ticket from his jean pocket, handing it to her. She smiled at him taking the ticket in the process.

"Well I gotta go if I wanna get my homework done before the fair," Ash stated, "I'll see you at five." Ash then ran off into his house which was right next to her's. Misty sighed and walked happily into her own house.

Ash, Cilan, and Misty walked all the way to the Fall Festival from Cilan's house. Cilan, for once, was not wearing his stuffy atire. He looked more relaxed in his khaki cargo shorts, green polo shirt, and green all-star low top converse. Misty and Ash looked relaxed too, not that they didn't always seem to. Misty wore her jean short shorts, a blue crop top, white suspenders, and white chucks. Ash sported a yellow T-Shirt with the word SWAG imprinted in big, bold black letters across the chest, a pair of black cargo shorts, and yellow low top chucks.

"So Cilan who'd you say was meeting you here," Ash asked his friend as they walked onto the grounds of the fair.

"My girlfriend, Skyla," Cilan explained. Cilan and Skyla had be going out for a while now, he liked her but he kind of felt that her head was in the sky and she always liked to talk about planes or other flying vehicles which were opposite of trains, so it was sort of hard to make conversation with her. She surly was nothing like Burgundy. He couldn't figure out if that was a good thing or bad thing.

"Is that your girlfriend," Cilan asked nudging his friend in the ribcage. Misty could feel her face grow warm, she knew that her cheeks had turned a bright pink at the moment.

"No, she is just my friend," Ash answered, sticking his hands into his large pockets. Cilan heard Misty murmur something about how she wished that Ash was her boyfriend, which caused him to chuckle a bit. He thought the idea of them together was kind of funny just because he couldn't imagine Ash with anyone else with his other girl best friend, Iris. He just thought they were really compatible and Iris needed someone who would love her and Ash could do that in Cilan's opinion.

"Okay, what should we do first,"Misty asked getting off the topic that caused butterflies to invade her belly.

"Lets let the birt-," Ash started before getting cut of by a tanned teen girl squealing Cilan's name. Ash recognized the girl as the Mistralton City gym leader, Skyla. She ran over greeting all three teens with a warm smile and a big wave.

"Hey Cilan, Hey Cilan's friends, I'm Skyla," she said happily.

"I'm Misty," Misty said introducing herself, while giving the pink haired girl a small wave.

"I'm Ash Ketchum from-," Ash said before Misty put her hand -which smelled of strawberries- over his mouth. Misty absolutely hated that whenever he met someone he had to state his name, dream, and where he was from. It was one of the most annoyingest things in the whole world, and No, that is not an exaggeration.

"Eww gross," Misty squealed when Ash licked her palm. She quickly removed her hand from the chuckling boy's mouth and wiped her hand on her shorts. After wiping her hands she pulled out her trusty mallet from her small string book bag she carried around on her back and wacked the poor raven haired boy in the back of the head causing his body to fly a few feet away landing in the grass.

"Oh goodness, was that really necessary," Cilan asked after seeing the carrot top's drastic measures. He looked over concerned at his friend who had grass in his mouth. Misty looked away from the older boy knowing that it wasn't necessary and that she just was an aggressive girl.

"No," she murmured.

"Interesting friends you have here Cilan," Sklya stated making a weirded out face. Ash picked himself off the green grass, spitting out the grass that he had caught in his mouth while walking back to his friends and rubbing his aching noggin.

"Let's start having fun before this girl kills me," Ash suggested. Misty rolled her eyes at the boy's exaggeration.

"Sorry b-," she apologized, keeping the rest to herself since she knew it was a lie.

"Ah Shit Misty, that fucking hurt bad," the boy complained, groaning as he rubbed his head some more.

"Um let's go the wipe out to get your mind off of the pain," Misty suggested, feeling unusually guilty. It was the first time she hit Ash with her mallet, he had seen her do it to many people before but surly didn't think it would hurt that much.

"Ooh that sounds fun," Skyla squealed. The four teens all headed in the direction of the colourful spinning ride, none of them ready for what was to come at the end of their fair fun.
