Chapter 21- An Average Day

A/N: Hey guys, it's us! YAAAAAAAAAY!

Aqua: We truly apologize for being absent for, like...6...flipping...months...

Solar: It's been a long time, am I right?

Summer: *Nods* You bet. But now, WE'RE BACK! =D

Winter: And before we start the climatic finale, here's three fun chapters!

In this one, we take a look at the average day with the Shining Gatherers. Before we begin, REPLY TIME! In reply to 1SonicFan: (Review 1) You're welcome, fellow sonic fan! :D (Review 2) (Blush) Oops...well, at least we got a plot now! :3

Aqua: (Smiles warmly) And thank you for understanding. :) We know how you feel. We have a 3ds ourselves...we love playing Tomodachi Life on it.

Summer: In reply to Guest: Thanks! :D We just have to finish the story and then we'll discuss raining tacos—I mean the film.

Welp, without further ado...

All: Enjoy! =D

"ZZZZZZzzzzz...ZZZZZZzzzzz...ZZZZZ—"

'BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BE—"

Pikachu turned the alarm off and sat up. He turned around, expecting to see Oshawott.

"Good m—"

But Oshawott wasn't there.

"What the...?" Pikachu looked around and on the top bunk.

Nope. No sign of him.

"Huh..." Pikachu walked out of the bedroom and into the kitchen. Oshawott was looking through a cupboard.

"Oshawott?" Pikachu tilted his head. Oshawott turned around and saw the yellow mouse.

"Pikachu!" He whispered. "Tone it down a bit! This is a surprise!"

"Okay..." Pikachu lowered his voice. "Wait, what's a surprise?"

"I'm making a breakfast pizza!" Oshawott declared, taking out some flour. "It'll be awesome! Wanna help?"

"Sure!" Pikachu jumped onto the counter. "So, how are we gonna make the dough?"

"That's easy, bro!" Oshawott opened the bag of flour. "You just gotta put some flour on this board."

What do you think happened? Do you think...

A. Oshawott poured the right amount on.

B. Pikachu stopped him before anything happened.

Or C. Oshawott had no idea how to pour flour and poured too much.

If you guessed C, you're right. Oshawott indeed poured too much flour. The white powder was everywhere on the counter, and a lot got on the floor, too. Heck, the layer was so thick Oshawott slipped and fell.

Pikachu facepalmed. "Oshawott, you son of a Liepard! Look at this mess!"

Oshawott got up. "You should have warned me!"

"I didn't have time!"

"I'm so sure!"

"HOLY ELEMENTS ALMIGHTY, WHAT HAPPENED HERE?!"

Pikachu and Oshawott turned and saw a horrified Teresa.

Pikachu gulped and chuckled nervously. "Uh...h-hi..."

Snivy was on the pool deck, listening to their first ever band album, 'Music is Awesome!'.

When she sat up to get her drink, she thought she saw something in the water. Taking off her headset, she walked over the pool and looked down.

In a split second, something yellow jumped out of the water and pounced at her. Snivy shrieked and closed her eyes tight...only to see Pikachu as she opened them again.

Pikachu chuckled. "Got ya."

Snivy smirked. "You prankster."

The two stared at each other for a bit until laughter broke the silence. Oshawott and Tepig walked onto the deck.

"Oh my gosh, just...you guys...!" Oshawott laughed. "You always crack us up!"

Pikachu and Snivy groaned.

In the backyard, Tepig and Oshawott faced each other, with fighting poses. Snivy was standing between them with a flag, and Pikachu watched from afar with popcorn.

Snivy brought down the flag. "Fight!"

Meanwhile, across the street, David was writing something, when he heard a bunch of noises a few meters away. Closing his laptop, he walked over to Teresa's backyard, only to see Tepig and Oshawott in an intense battle, with Pikachu and Snivy cheering them on.

Saying nothing, David turned and walked away. A scene like that wasn't really surprising anymore.

Pikachu and Oshawott were dying of laughter as they watched a guy play Legends of The Void, getting cornered by a bunch of monsters.

"NO! WHY ARE THESE MONSTERS HERE?! VOIDS DON'T HAVE MONSTERS, AREN'T THEY LITERALLY NOTHING-!"

"Oh my gosh...!" Pikachu said as he paused the video to catch his breath. "This guy's hilarious!"

"Y-Yeah!" Oshawott panted. "I swear, we gotta play that game sometime!"

"You bet!"

"What are you guys watching?" Tepig asked as he walked in the room.

"We're watching this guy get owned by a bunch of enemies from LoTV!" Oshawott replied. "Wanna see?"

"Sure!" Tepig hopped up on the seat and unpaused the video.

In less than 5 seconds, they were all laughing.

"How about we order pizza?" Teresa grabbed her phone.

"Yeah!" The others cheered.

"Alright then..." Teresa dialed the number. "What would you guys like?"

"I'd like anchovies on mine!" Tepig raised his hoof.

"...Really?" Snivy asked. "Really, Tepig?"

"What? They're tasty!"

"Sure they are," Oshawott chuckled.

Tepig snickered. "I'm joking! I'll just have cheese."

Pikachu and Oshawott sat on a hill, watching the sunset.

Pikachu sighed. "The sunset here kinda reminds me of Poképark's."

"You bet." Oshawott leaned back. "I never really thought about it that much until now."

Pikachu closed his eyes. "I...I really miss home."

Oshawott put an arm around him. "Me too...But we'll get home eventually, I just know it."

"How?" Pikachu sniffed, looking up at the Otter Pokémon. "How exactly do you know that?"

"I—"

"For all we know, we could be here forever! Our friends and family would be scared out of their minds, wondering where we went...And the new guys...we never even thought about meeting them before they left...they must be concerned too..."

"Pikachu," Oshawott interrupted, grasping his friend's shoulders. "I know we'll get back. That tunnel can't stay closed forever. It just can't. Even if it takes a year, a decade, heck, even a century, we'll get back, I promise."

Pikachu stared at Oshawott with wide eyes. This was the otter that panicked about the tunnel collapsing, was now promising him it would open. A lot of things change when you're in a new world, apparently. Pikachu smiled and leaned against Oshawott's chest, saying nothing. He didn't know what to say, really...

BANANABANANABANANABANANABANANA

Yawning, Pikachu climbed into bed with Oshawott. "Today was fun, am I right?"

"Just like every other day," Oshawott chuckled.

The two sighed.

"You know..." Pikachu broke the silence. "About what you said back there...about the tunnel..."

He turned to Oshawott, smirking.

"I'm surprised you said that, considering you panicked when tunnel collapsed."

Oshawott chuckled. "Hey, things change."

"Yeah..." Pikachu yawned. "I gotta say...you're an awesome friend..."

Oshawott smiled, closing his eyes. "You too..."

"To be honest," Pikachu sighed, drifting off. "You're like the brother I never had..."

"Huh?" Oshawott opened his eyes. Pikachu was already asleep.

Oshawott smiled, closing his eyes once again. "I'm glad you feel the same, bro..." He sighed before falling asleep as well.

The End
