Authoress notes: Song lyrics underlined and Song is from Naktu's point of view 0_o. Disclaimer- I own nothing but lint in my pocket and the idea of Naktu, Tael and Marh. The people with Pokemon are getting rich and I'm not taking any of their money so don't sue me.
Naktu was a big help to have around and soon (with that little tid bit of help from Marh) I did have skills I didn't know about. I didn't mind though it was handy. I never told him what I knew though but Marh did seem to have a contact with him still I never doubted those disappearances when team rocket showed their face, I always thought it was in humiliation but now I was suspecting hatred Naktu did seem to have an anger I never saw, but I showed my anger enough for two of us but I suppose his was hatred and I didn't want to be around to see when it exploded.
I was riding Articuno slightly above Naktu, who was pedaling below.
"Where should we go next?" he asked.
"I don't know I'm up to a challenge though how about Fuchsia City?" I suggested carelessly.
"Poison? You could teach him a thing or to." Naktu said knowingly.
"Why thank you, you're too kind dear Naktu."
"You've got a sense of humor and sarcasm but in an instant you can go to down right nasty or sassy or even surprising serious; I don't get you." He shrugged trying to make a point.
"You're not supposed to get women." I made a point.
"You'd make an excellent spy." He commented somewhat darkly.
"I heard you weren't so bad yourself."
There was a strict moment of silence.
"You knew what I was getting to your too good at that." The blue-eyed boy told me.
"No, Naktu you're simply to obvious, but you know Marh well to know he'd do something like that…thankfully my great escape worked out. But you as a spy you didn't do important long groundwork, unnoticed or hacking you could have even stopped me if you pleased at anytime but I don't why you didn't your predictability rate it low." I figured.
"I can't even compete with you at fishing information but I have my reasons and if you really wanted to pry them from me you could but I don't see you doing that, don't tell me you've gone all soft on me now? You wouldn't have a weakness for me." Naktu added slyly.
"Now whatever on earth would I need a weakness for?"
this vocal dodging was a bit more personal I saw, and I would close the door on the subject.
"Well I don't know why I came here tonightI've got a feelin' that somethin' ain't rightI'm so scared in case I fall off my chair and wonderin' how I'll get down the stairsClowns to the left of me, jokers to the rightHere I am, stuck in the middle with you"
Nobody as far as I know can EVER travel to one place with out being tired in one day. Not that you'd have a hard time convincing yourself to take lots of breaks. It was easy for me flying Articuno Airlines but Naktu was pushing himself to keep up it made him kind of look like a hamster on a bicycle wheel. His face was dripping with sweat and the breaths he took were panting at one point and I have compassion in me believe it or not, at least enough for a lunch break, hey everyone gets hungry.
"Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you and I'm wonderin' what it is Ishould doIt's so hard to keep this smile from my face 'cause I'm showin' up allover the placeClowns to the left of me, jokers to the rightHere I am stuck in the middle with you"
And while relaxing I had fun picking conversations surprisingly everything but weather was brought up (today happened to be partly cloudy that meant rain again soon-Ug) Sandwiches were my lunch special and I'm sure you enjoy hearing all about my cook skills.
I peeled of a corner of the bread and stuffed it into my mouth chewing rapidly waiting to respond to Naktu on how game shows are staged.
(switching to 3rd Person Naktu Point of View)
Intelligence or temperance? Both were a good qualities Tael possessed but she wasn't the "Ohh you're so Dreamy type" but what business did he have thinking about that Naktu would never understand the female population anyway.
"Well you started off with nothin' and you're proud that you're aself-made manAnd your friends they all come crawlin', slap you on the back and sayPlease....please...."
"You're going to need to change your clothes or something." Naktu pointed out.
"You've got a point but I have a lack of cash." I admitted.
Thus, Naktu dragged me through a torturous process of clothes shopping.
I know Naktu would know something about "Fashion" (Strange new word to me) so I let him take me around, I would be happy getting something from Wal-Mart but he insisted on Arocrombie. I'm just that sort of agreeable person.
As Naktu shifted by the racks and I kinda of drifted behind him. Let alone the clothing was unfamiliar but the fashionable normal creatures walking around the store really almost scared me. But I ducked behind the racks again because behold my cousin Virginia was over browsing with her flock of friends and guys entered the store.
The blonde teenager shifted her hair of her face gracefully. But though she might look like it, there's little going on in-between her ears.
I groan while Naktu engrossed himself in clothes Virginia spotted me.
She whispered over to her friends and shouted loudly "Hiya Cous'!"
"Hello Virginia." I mumbled
"Tryin' to make some sense of it all, but I can see there is no senseat allIs it cool to go to sleep on the floor, I don't think that I can takeany moreClowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am stuck in themiddle with you"
"Tael! Oh stop it! Like you know you can call me Ginny!" she grins at me.
"Oh I forgot." I automatically said.
"Tael I- Naktu paused in mid sentence with a pile of clothes in hand.
"Is that your boy friend? Oh he's got like good taste in clothes!" Ginny squealed
"NO!" I blushed hotly.
"I just remembered Tael! Your birthday was a couple days ago wasn't it?" the blonde exclaimed excited.
"It was." I said grudgingly
"Then like I need to get you something! Come with me!" her voice instantly said perky.
I was dragged out instantly.
"Like totally come on! Girls we have a mission! Make over!" I groan exceptionally loud- A MAKE OVER FOR ME!
"Not a snow ball's chance in hell did I ever think that someone you say those two words to you." The platinum blonde hair boy said amused at me.
"Shut the fuck up." I said sourly. Naktu winced at me, my use of words seem to have a light effect.
I tried to explain to thickheaded Ginny that there was NO WAY I would LET HER do THIS to ME but she didn't pay attention because I was shoved into a chair.
"Paul, work your magic!" Ginny said happily.
"Oh God no." I muttered hopelessly but like there was anything I could do about it.
"Tael I'll like be RIGHT back! Girl's outfit time!" she giggled.
Naktu plopped himself down in a chair in front of me and looked as if there was going to be a marathon of his favorite T.V. show was about to begin but Ginny grabbed Naktu by his ear and said
"Oh no! You're coming with us sweetie!"
"Oww! Oww!" he whimpered and I rolled my eyes. Maybe it wouldn't be bad after all but just as a warning I said: "Do anything crazy and I'll shove my foot so far up your ass the water your knee with quench your thirst." And the hairdressers face immediately turned pale.
Ironically I grinned and spun around my chair.
Naktu rubbed his throbbing ear and winced he had been dragged into victory's secret store and a constant blush never left his face. He tried to appear interested in the fragrance section but he really wasn't. Most guys aren't.
"Naktu come on over here hun." Ginny nonchalantly said.
The boy had no choice but to comply. Unwillingly his eyes bulged he, a sixteen year-old boy was dragged into the panty and bra section.
"So what do you think? Navy blue or Pink?" Ginny said seriously to the platinum holding up two different silk bras.
His face turned six shades of crimson. Yes, Tael was a female, females DID wear these things but who looked?
"W…why do you want me to chose?" he stammered.
"Silly! Like you're the one that's going to be seeing it on her!" Ginny explained as if she were talking to a three-year-old.
Naktu's face when a DEEP, DEEP shade of red.
"He's so adorable!" one of Ginny's friends said.
"So which one do you like?" Ginny stated seriously again.
The group walked out of the store rejoined once again by the males who solely regarded Naktu as a war hero. Worst of all Naktu was forced to carry the pink striped bad. The blue-eyed teenager had never blushed so much in his life.
The poor boy was dragged through clothing store, after store and store. His feet were sore his arms ached and he had never been so humiliated in his life.
Naktu really needed a trip to the food court.
"Blush." Ginny said as the girl nearest her reached for a light shade of the make up and passed through the assembly line.
The blonde teenager worked like a surgeon performing a delicate heart surgery.
Naktu was shoved off to the food court, which he happily accepted.
My face knew it had about ten tons of neatly applied cosmetics on it but it felt light. My locks of black hair were transformed and I was shoved into an outfit- before my makeup of course I would HATE to ruin it that would so awful I'm was really concerned about that sort of thing. Yeah right.
"Girls." My cousin said pacing back and forth through the hair salon like an army general.
Her groupies stood silently proud.
"It's been tough but we got through it and like totally kick butt I bring you the efforts of all our hard work! Tael like come on out!" she beamed.
I walked out almost the same as I had been expect for one thing, the ends of my hair that I left out of my usual pony tail that stood along my face now had hot pink ends, very cool in my opinion. Oh yeah they stuffed me in some American eagle outfit nothing interesting.
"Cool" Naktu said walking in.
"Cool?!" I said to myself "That's it!" I thought. Why was I mad I WANTED him to like my look what was I thinking! I sighed. "So where are we staying tonight?" I shrugged
"Sleep over at my house!" Ginny exclaimed.
"Well I guess…why not it's ordinary." I told the blue-eyed boy.
Ordinary…normal…weird…it's very confusing.
"Well I don't know why I came here tonightI've got a feelin' that somethin' ain't rightI'm so scared in case I fall off my chair and wonderin' how I'll get down the stairsClowns to the left of me, jokers to the rightHere I am, stuck in the middle with you"
