Chapter Sixteen - Sillabub's Place
"Welcome to my, humble home!" Said Sillabub as she moved a dilapidated old sheet out of their way.
"You live… Here?" Said Ash
THWACK!
"Duh!" Said Misty
"What's that saying, 'you always hurt the one you love?'" Said Jacob
THWACK
"There, I hit Ash instead of you, because he's a…" SLAP "…Punch…" THWACK "…Bag." Said Misty
Jacob just laughed.
"That just proves my point!"
SLAP
That time Misty got Jacob.
"YOU SAYING I FANCY… HIM?"
"No… (YES)"
Misty was about to hit Jacob again, but Sam jumped in the way and caught her arm.
"Misty…"
Misty sighed and Sam lowered her arm as he frog marched her through the doorway.
"Jigger, This looks like fun!" Said Jacko
"I know! I'll call you… Flamie!" Jacko said to Ember.
"Jackie, Flush your head down the social toilet" Said Jig
"SHHHHHCCCCTTT" Laughed Jacko
Jacko ran his hand through his red punk rocker hairdo. Jig saw this as an occasion to ruffle up his hair! So she did.
"Oi! Get off! Whatever you do, don't do the Doo! Okay?" Said Jacko, straightening his jacket and producing a large toothed comb from someplace in the depths of his pockets.
He started combing his hair up into his usual spike.
"Jackie! What is it with you and your Doo?" Asked Jemima
"Talk to the hand, coz the face sure ain't listenin'. Actually speak to the finger coz the hand ain't worth the mouth!" Joked Jacko.
"Your Doo ain't as hot as you would think!" Said Jig
Jemima remembered when she'd accidentally set fire to his hair once.
"Well…" She started
"Guys…" Said Andre
"Alright! Let's go in … there?" Said Brock
"Yup, there!" Said Topaz
"I wonder…" Said Jetstorm, thoughtfully
"Eh
You wonder what?" Asked Scribbles
"None of your business!" Snapped Jetstorm
"JETSTORM!" Said Andre
"Hey! Loosen up already!" Said Jetstorm.
"What is up with you Andre?" Said Ember as she waltzed through the doorway
"He's just got a screw loose." Said Topaz
That night, they didn't sleep well.
"Sillabub?"
"What? Who said that?"
"Me, Jacko"
"Oh, What?"
"Why do you live in a cardboard box?"
"There's nowhere else."
"Come and join us on our journey. And Ember and Jacob too! And of course Scribbles and Jetstorm." Said Jemima
"NO WAY! Jacob can't join us." Said Victoria
"You're outvoted Victoria" Said Topaz
Victoria muttered. The next morning was cold. And rainy. There were holes in the roof. Sillabub popped some umbrellas through the holes.
"That oughta keep the damp out."
"We'd better move on today. How many are we? There's Ash, Misty Brock, Sam, Jacko, Victoria, Jig, Andre, Topaz, Scribbles, Jetstorm, Ember, Sillabub, Jacob and me. Kyre, Diga and Farf left… So that's fifteen, isn't it?"
"Yup." Said Sillabub
"Well I wanna catch a Butterfree today…" Said Jemima
"Let's try in the forest then." Said Sillabub
"A forest?" Asked Jemima
"Yeah, its not too far!" Said Sillabub
"Welcome to my, humble home!" Said Sillabub as she moved a dilapidated old sheet out of their way.
"You live… Here?" Said Ash
THWACK!
