Chapter XXVI- S.S. Aqua Part I
The next morning, I woke up to find myself in my bed room. I didn't realize what
had happened at first, but I looked over to my left, and there was Jarod, with his head on
the bed sleeping in a sitting postion. I don't know how he did it, but he managed to carry
me upstairs, into my room, and then fall asleep by my bed. I wasn't sure what to say. I was
still really tired, but I had to wake him up so we could start packing. The ship left at 11:00
and it was already 8:00. I slowly got up out of bed, so that I didn't make a squeak, and
went into the closet to change into my costume. I had a huge walk-in closet that I loved.
"Hugh..." I could hear Jarod waking up just as I went to open the door
"Marc....Marc....MARCY!?" He looked around and couldn't find me at first.
"Over here." I said as I walked out.
"oh......Marcy! I was so worried about you!! Are you ok now??" He asked running over to
me.
"I'm fine. I just needed to take a nap. So...what do you think?" I said and did a little twirl.
"Let me guess....Queen Mercury from Sailor Moon?"
"That's it! How did you know?" I said and stopped twirling.
"That's one of my favorite anime's besides Dragon Ball GT" He said.
"Really I love DBGT! My favorite character is Trunks! He is sooo cute!!; with the long
hair that is...I hate how Bulma cuts it!" I said and turned around to fix my hair.
"Really!? That's awsome!! Oh! I better go get in my costume, and start packing!" He said
and ran out of the room.
"I'll go wake up Erika!" I said and finished my hair.
"No need for that............()" Erika said and walked in still half-asleep.
"I woke you up hugh?" I said and walked over to my bed to wake up Raichu.
"Yup. That's ok though! Good Morning!^_^" She said and walked back to her room to
change and pack. I brought my stuff downstairs in one suitcase. It included, extra
pokeballs if I want to go fishing, Raichu's poke-screen for his sensative skin, my sun
screen, two tooth brushes, a hair brush, a few t-shirts and a pair of jeans. Of course I had
to wear the ring Jarod got for me. I put it on my right ring finger, but for some reason, it
looked better on the left.^_~ Raichu walked behind me into the kitchen and sat down on a
stool that mom bought just for him. I went into the cabinet and got out a bowl and a glass.
I had cheerios and milk for breakfast. Erika was the next to come down. She had on a
beautiful yellow ball dress and put her hair half-way up. She put her suitcase next to mine
and sat down at the island.
"Mmmmm bannanas are a good thing!" She said and woofed one down().
"We've gotta get flying, where's Jarod?" I asked as I put my dishes in the sink.
"Right here Angel!" He said and jumped into the kitchen doorway.
"You look so.......(cute)......(I want to say that!!!)........(I can't)......(think of another
adjective!!)....(sexy??!!!).....(what is wrong with me??!!!).....cool? Trunks from DBGT
right?" I finally said compleatly confused.
"o_o() Having a little innerconflict there?" He said compleatly stunned at the amount of
time it took me to find the right adjective to describe him. "Well, I think you
look......(Beautiful)......(that's what I wanna say!!!).....(oh!! Curse me for not being able to
speak my mind!!!!!!)......(sexy??!!)....(um......NO!!).......cool? (Sure just use the same one
as her!!!!!!)......very nice!(There^_^)......(uh oh....why is she giving me that look?0_0())" I
gave him the weirdest look, personally, I think it scared him. There was a long pause, no
one even breathed.
"............" Erika just starred at the two of us. "....o...k....so, shouldn't we get going?"
"OH!! Right! Ok! Jarod, um your breakfast is there, it's cereal, hope you like
cheerios....Raichu!!! Look at you!! You're a mess!?" I said as I ran around the kitchen
cleaning everything in sight.
"Is she a cleaning freak or is it just me?" Jarod whispered to Erika as I cleaned off
Raichu's face.
"She's not trust me, you just caught her off guard. Hey Marcy, why don't you go pick up
the pokeballs at the lab with Jarod, and I'll start hitching the logage to the pokemon?" She
said and got up to get our bags.
"Ok, let me just say bye to mom." I said and took out Pidgeot's pokeball. "Here I'm gonna
use Pidgeot to fly."
"I'll use Pegesedon Erika." He said and gave her her great ball.
"Ok, I'll be out front." She said and went out into the front yard.
"Jarod, could you go pick up the Masterballs? I'll be there in a few minutes." I said as I
walked out of the kitchen and up the stairs. "Raichu, go wait outside with Erika."
"Sure." Jarod said and walked outside, "I'll meet you back here." He said to Erika. I went
up stairs and mom was in bed watching t.v.
"Hey mom."
"Hi sweet heart!"
"We're gonna get goin." I said and walked into the huge room.
"Where's dad?"
"He had to go into work early to do some last minute tests."
"Oh. Well, we won't be back again for a long while."
"I know honey, and I wish you good luck." She said and got out of bed to give me a kiss.
"I'll be seeing you^_^" I said and walked out the door.
"Bye honey! Have a good journey! And don't forget to call if you need anything! Love
you!"
"Bye!" I said as I walked down the stairs and out the front door, closing it behind me
quietly. "Are you almost done?" I asked Erika.
"Yup, just about." She said as she tightened a rope around Charizards belly.
"Now, I was wondering...how are you going to ride Charizard with that long dress?"
"Hmm. Good point!" She said laughing.
"How about I ride Charizard, and you ride Pidgeot?" I said as I say Jarod out of the corner
of my eye walking twords us.
"Ok^_^!"
"All ready?" Jarod asked as he handed us our Masterballs.
"Cool!" Erika yelled and I admired the paintings on them. Right above the button on mine
was a lightning bolt, Erika's was a flame with Charizard wings, and Jarods was a flame
too, but with angel wings. "Well, now that we've got everything, let's get going!" We
hopped onto our pokemon, except me and Erika switched, and flew off. It took us a little
longer to get there than I thought it would have. We left at about 9:30 and got there at
10:30. Just in time to board. The sailors were all very nice to us, especially me and Erika.
One gave me a rose, and another gave Erika a whole bunch of tulips. Once we got on
board we found where our cabins were and proceaded to the dinning hall where lunch
was being served. Raichu walked closley behind me so he wouldn't get lost in the huge
crowd.
"Raichu? You ok?" I said and put my hand on his head.
"Raichu chu rai!" *I'm just fine!*
"Well, I guess the costume ball isn't till tonight...?" Jarod said as he looked at a poster on
the wall.
"Really?! You mean we didn't have to get in our costumes after all?" Erika said about to
smack him upside the head.
"Sorry! The flyer didn't say when!" He said backing off.
"Well, let's make the best of it! I'll go and get in my bathing suit!" I said and ran out of the
hall.
"Wait up me too!" Erika yelled and took off her heals so she could run.
"Oh well. Wait up!" Jarod ran after the two of us. We all went back to our cabins and
headed for the deck where there was a swimming pool and lots of deck chairs. We ran
onto the deck and one of the sailors stopped us.
"Excuse me, but are you Jarod Silph?" He asked
"That's me! What can I do for you?" He said.
"Well he said you would be traveling with two other girls....here you are." The sailor
handed him a note:
Jarod,
I got permission from the Jhoto leauge council if you would like to bring Marcy to
battle me. See you soon,
Clarissa- Mahogany Gym
"This is great!" I heard Jarod yell loudly.
"What?" I leaned over his shoulder and read the note then took it from his hands in
astonishment.
"Mahogany???! That means that we're allowed to battle her? We can battle in Jhoto??!!" I
said excited.
"Just her." He said to me grabbing my shoulder trying to calm me down.
"How do you know her?" I asked as I looked at the note.
"Oh, there's no need to get jealous! The former leader of the Mahogany gym just died two
years ago. I knew him pretty well. Clarissa is about 20 years older than me, so don't
worry!"
"Good!" I said and grabbed his arm. "Now, let's go have some fun!" I said and jumped
into the pool.
"Great idea!" he said and nearly jumped in on top of me.
"Gee thanks." I said and splashed him.
"Hey!" He said and splashed me back.
"Well, I think I'm just going to sit up here with Raichu..." Erika said, but we both slashed
her and got her wet, so she did a cannonball inbetween us. That was defienetly the best
way to end my vacation. All afternoon, we played around in the pool and sat sunbathing
on the deck. ^_^ And the cuttest thing happened; I went to put some sun screen on
Raichu, and said,
"Oh, my poor baby, here," I rubbed some of the lotion onto his fur, especially his nose
and ears, when Jarod said,
"Oh my poor Angel! Here!" And put sun screen on my shoulders while I was doing
Raichu.
"Come'er Erika you're next!" He said and put some of for her too. So that's how we spent
the afternoon. Later that day though we changed into our costumes and got ready to go to
the ball.
The next morning, I woke up to find myself in my bed room. I didn't realize what
