Me like to update ^_^
~Chapter Nine~
I pushed myself away from Danny and ran to Mystic. "What is it?" I cried to her. "What's going on?"
Danny laughed at me. He seemed amused that I was worried. "Three years and you've never seen a Pokemon evolve?" he asked. "Evolve?" I said, confused.
"Yeah," Danny shrugged. He looked at the ground and then at Mystic. I turned my gaze to her also.
She was becoming longer. A little ball appeared under her neck. The wings on her head grew bigger. A horn shot out in the middle of her head, originally where the little white jewel had been. Then, she stopped glowing.
I stared at the creature before my eyes. Mystic. My Mystic was. . . "Dragonair?" I whispered.
Mystic blinked, then hopped into my arms. She seemed so happy, and she was wiggling all around. I had to be careful so her horn wouldn't poke me.
Danny laughed again. He sat down next to me, and Mystic snorted in his face. We both laughed. Together.
I stared at Danny and his deep blue eyes. My excitement for Mystic's evolution grew weaker as Danny and I gazed at each other. I felt like he was looking into my soul.
Danny bent down towards me. I closed my eyes and leaned up towards him.
Suddenly, Danny's watched made a loud, "BLEEEEEEEEP." Danny stood up suddenly, making me fall down. "Auugh!" I screeched.
Danny looked at me with a concern look. "Sorry!" he cried. "I'm really sorry, but. . .I. . .uh, I have to go now. . ." Danny turned around and started to jog away from me.
"Wait!" I cried. But before the word even left my lips, Danny was gone.
~*~*~
Even though she was a Dragonair, Mystic still woke me up the same way the next morning: by slapping her tail in my face.
"Okay, okay!" I whispered. I buried my head under my pillow. "Draaagon.Dragoooonair!" Mystic prompted me.
"Sheesh," I grumbled as I sat up. My long hair was poofing out all over the place. It looked like I hadn't brushed it in years.
"Here we go," I mumbled. One thing I did not like about my hair was brushing it. But I could never cut it.
I promised my dad, after all.
Mystic seemed impatient about something. She kept turning around and around in her new Dragonair form, and hopping up and down. "Draaaa Dragoooon!" she yelped.
A few more strokes, and my hair was brushed. I quickly got dressed and then said to Mystic, "Okay, what do you want?"
Mystic hooked her long tail around my neck and slid towards the lobby of the Pokemon Center. "Draaagon," she said.
I opened the door and cautiously walked out. It was totally dark, even though it was eight o'clock in the morning.
"Hello?" I called out.
The lights flickered on. Nurse Joy, some Chanseys, a few other Pokemon, and three people jumped out. "Surprise!" the cried.
"Ohmigosh!" I exclaimed. I had COMPLETELY forgotten-today was my fourteenth birthday!
I looked around happily. Nurse Joy was wearing a party hat instead of her usual nurse cap. So were the Chanseys. A few of the Pokemon-a Spearow, a Growlithe, a Pichu, and a Totodile-had bright bows tied around their necks. The three people were also wearing party hats and carrying gifts. I looked up at them and screamed with delight.
"Mom!" "Mo!". . ."Danny?!"
"Surprise," Danny said happily.
Mom was ignoring all of this. She ran towards me and gave me a huge hug. "April!!!" she wailed. "Oh my, it's so good to see you!"
"How-" I started. But then Mo barged in and hugged me even tighter.
"April! Oh man, I thought I'd never see you again! This is great!" she cried.
"Yes, I know!" I shouted. I didn't really realize how much I had missed Mo and Mom over these past three years. I call Mom nearly every day, and Mo and I talked about once a week, but that was nothing compared to actually seeing them.
Mo finally let go of me and handed me a present. "Open it!" she cried. "I don't know how much you've changed in these past years, but I'm sure you'll love it!"
I grinned as I opened my gift. I couldn't stop smiling, especially after the homemade wrapping paper revealed some jewelry-blue sapphire earrings, a rhinestone bracelet, and a crystal necklace, which I was sure Mo had made herself.
"They're beautiful!" I exclaimed, and put them on right away.
Mo grinned in approval, and bent down to Mystic's level. "Sorry I don't have anything for you," she said.
"Draaagon," Mystic smiled.
Mo smiled back. "I guess that means you're okay with that!"
~*~*~
It was nearly two hours later. Mom and Mo went home, but Danny stayed behind. We walked into the woods near the Pokemon Center.
"How did you know it was my birthday?" I asked Danny curiously.
"Your friend told me. She was rushing into the Pokemon Center with all of these present and stuff, and I asked whose birthday it was. And she answered, 'April's!' and I go, 'April? The girl with the really beautiful hair?' and she answers, 'Yes!' So I just helped and went along with it."
I chuckled. I leaned my head against Danny's shoulder. He didn't seem to mind. We walked in silence until Danny took a deep breath and stopped.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Nothing," Danny answered. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small box cover in silver paper. He handed it to me. "I wasn't sure when I was going to be giving this to you, but I guess since it's your birthday, today's a good time," he said.
I tore through the paper. Mystic picked up each piece that fell, in her mouth, and put it in my pocket. I laughed absentmindedly.
I looked at the small black box the wrapping paper had uncovered. I slowly opened it. Sitting on a perfect bed of cotton was a golden ring. When I picked it up, I saw it had a small Dragonair on it, looking as happy as can be.
I stared at Danny and smiled. "Thank you," I said as I put the ring on. "It's beautiful."
Danny didn't say anything. He just kept staring at me with his gorgeous blue eyes. He slowly leaned towards me. I could feel his lips against mine this time. I looked out of the corner of my eye to make sure Mystic wasn't glowing.
Of course she wasn't.
When our heads pulled back, Danny stared at me again. Then he looked over his shoulder. "I have to go now," he said sadly, and hugged me.
"I hope we see each other again," I whispered.
"We'd better," Danny smiled, before disappearing into the woods.
~*~*~
I sat under a large maple tree. A few Pidgey were screeching above my head, but I didn't care.
Mystic slithered over to me and lay in my lap, closing her eyes. She yawned hugely.
I laughed. "Long day, huh?" I asked her.
Mystic snored in response.
I giggled to myself. Then I pulled out my diary.
~*~*~
"Dear Diary, Today was awesome! Mom and Mo came all the way to Ecruteak City just to throw me a surprise party! Mo gave me some jewelry-I'm pretty sure she made it all herself, but she won't tell me if she did or not. Mom gave me some clothes. And. . .Danny was at the party! When we were walking together a few minutes ago, he gave me a beautiful gold ring with a Dragonair on it.
I'm pretty sure Danny really, really likes me, because he kissed me after he gave me the ring. Yesterday he tried to kiss me, but I was interrupted when. . .Mystic evolved! I was so stupid, I thought something was wrong with her. But now she's a beautiful and powerful Dragonair."
~*~*~
I sighed and looked at the ring Danny gave me. It glinted in the sunlight. It looked a little familiar, though.
"Nahh," I shook my head. I hadn't seen a ring before like this in my whole life. Yet, I had this strange feeling. . .
I decided to take all of my other jewelry off, because it was getting uncomfortable. I slipped the sapphire earrings and the rhinestone bracelet into my backpack. I felt around my neck for the clasp for the crystal necklace. It was confusing, because the key was also on.
The key made me think of Dad. "Oh Dad," I whispered as I pulled the key from my throat. "I wish you could have been here today."
But it felt strange, as if he really WERE here, somehow.
I stared at the key. I raised my had to feel its smooth metal. Then I saw it: the key and the ring were exactly the same color.
I grinned. "Well at least I'll match," I joked to myself. I stared at the key some more. Then I looked at the ring. My smile faded. I gasped. I grabbed my diary and wrote:
~*~
"Oh my God-the ring Danny gave me and Dad's key-they look EXACTLY alike!"

I pushed myself away from Danny and ran to Mystic. "What is it?" I cried to her. "What's going on?"
