Okay, sorry I didn't update. But I chose out the funniest review to start off the chappie! By Moonsilver()
So, you may ask...
"Is misty gonna be hungry all the time? Is may gonna outwit drew in one of their arguments? Is dawn gonna ignore everyone? Is leaf gonna be a pervert? Is ash gonna bash misty with the mallet? Is drew gonna be hungry and confused? Is paul gonna be optimistic? Is gary gonna be hyper?"
Hmm...well to answer them:(Misty) Kinda. (May) Duh! (Dawn) Actually, pretty much.(Leaf) No, she's a decent person (unlike Gary). (Ash) No, you don't hit girls! (Drew) Yes, with May's wits, and skipping breakfast? (Paul) To a certain degree. (Gary) And, probably.
Do not own. Enjoy!
Leaf stepped into homeroom.
Nobody was there yet... hmm... oh yeah. She ditched the girls back at home. She giggled.
So...what would Gary do?
She spotted Paul, who summoned her over.
"Yeah?", she asked.
"Well, since Dawn's being all antisocial and forgot to call you..."
Leaf stifled a giggle, and sufficed with a raised eyebrow.
"I've decided to take over the singing lessons she planned. Stage's empty after school, see you there?"
"Are you kidding? I am Leaf Green, of course I'll be there."
She smirked. At the same time, Gary had entered the room, only hearing the last few words. Why are they going somewhere after school...alone?
He ignored the thought and tried to fake optimism.
"Hey guys! What's up?", he said cheerfully.
"Nothing...babe.", Leaf said jokingly. He blushed, and Paul looked unusually close to laughter.
Dawn grumbled, waking up and looking up the clock. It was a little late...
She got ready, then walked to the kitchen, grabbing a quick breakfast.
She got a cup of ice water and poured it onto the backs of two now screaming girls before leaving the room.
"Wake up, lazy faces!", Dawn screeched. "Arceus.", she muttered.
Later, during lunch...
"So, explain to me why everyone was late today.", Dawn grumbled.
"Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?", Gary said teasingly.
Dawn scooted a bit closer to the boy next to her and hissed something into his ear, making him gulp. He shut up.
Ash fingered his mallet, silently pleading Dawn to let him whack Gary.
She scoffed. "No! Bad boy. I think he's gonna suffer enough. No! Ash!" Ash stopped. "Good boy."
She patted his head, smirking.
"Anyone else want a piece of this?", she glared. Everyone shook their head.
"So May, decided to give up yet?", Drew challenged.
May only smirked back. "A challenge? I don't think that's very in-character Drew... better be careful."
Misty interjected. "Hey Ash can I have that?"
He passed a bit of food glumly down to the smiling girl. There was a silence.
"So guys...I'm thinking of becoming a coordinator...", Paul trailed off jokingly. Everyone laughed.
After school...
It was a bit cloudy.
Nothing was in Gary's vision except for a small figure in the distance heading into the auditorium.
It wouldn't be so wrong if he stayed... right?
"Paul?", Leaf peered out into the darkness.
...How strange...Why was the stage pitch black?
Maybe Paul hadn't arrived yet, or he bailed. She let out a dejected sigh, moving to sit down on the stage.
Was it her, or had something made a sound somewhere right...over...?
Fwoop.
Leaf winced, closing her eyes as the bright spotlight turned on, blinding her.
Like some crazed acrobat in an accident, Paul suddenly tumbled down from... the roof?
"Paul!", Leaf yelled, running towards where he fell. "Huh?"
He'd vanished.
Someone tapped on her shoulder. She jumped.
"PAUL! How'd you...", she stuttered, startled.
He smirked.
"The element of surprise never fails. Heck, just do some random stunt and it'll stun someone enough to pass them, trick them, blind them, scare them... it's useful. I got carried away, that isn't what we're learning. But it was funny to see your face."
"Hey!", Leaf yelled.
Paul sighed. "I'm sorry." He gave her a flower, a geranium, from his pocket.
"Excuse me!", she was not only shocked by yet another random act, but of the meaning.
He laughed. "I see you're not gullible anymore. Explain."
"The geranium means true friend, but it can also mean stupidity."
He handed her another flower. "It's called a nasturtium."
She smirked. The flower symbolized victory in battle.
"We need to stop fooling around.", she said, giggling.
Suddenly, there was a bit of a serious aura. He sighed again. "Let's start."
After a few minutes, Paul had prepared the sound system to play from his laptop to the stage.
He walked back to Leaf, who sat idly on the edge of the stage, swinging her feet slightly.
"Okay, let's start now. Have you had anything happen recently with a lot of emotion? Happy, sad, scary, bad, good-"
"Bad. Really bad.", Leaf said.
"Care to explain?"
"Just... really bad break-up. He was cool. Only Gary and Dawn knew... it... just... a bad break up."
Paul pressed on. "Can you tell me what happened?"
Leaf shook her head, eyes distant. "No."
"Why?"
She turned to face him.
That's it. It had a slightly dramatic cliffy, to me it ended nicely. But... it's all I got. Really. Well, at least to make the ending good. It was more of a filler chapter... review?
