Chapter XXVII- S.S. Aqua Part II
That night we met in the grand hall where the party was being held, and we all
walked around together, talking to other trainers until about seven, when dinner was
being served. It was a wonderful dinner, and I was so full, I didn't want to move.
"Marcy! look!" Erika said and pointed to a tall guy with black hair that stood straight up.
His eyes were closed and he was pretty cute. "I'm gonna go say hi to him!" She said and
took a breathe mint out of the bowl on the table.
"I guess it's just you and me." I said to Jarod as he brushed his hand through his hair.
"Guess so...." He said, and I moved my chair closer to his, putting my head on his
shoulder. Erika went over to him, he really wasn't that far away from our table, and said,
"Hi! I'm Erika! What's your name?"
"Well if you aren't the most beautiful girl I've ever seen!" He said and grabbed her hands.
"My name's Brock!"
"The Brock? I battled you a while back!" Erika said and detached her hands from him.
"I remember you now! Erika Crimson from Cinnabar Island, right?"
"That's right!"
"Well it's nice to see you again! How are your pokemon doing?" He said still a little red.
"They're great!........" They talked for a while and then Erika pointed over to me and
Jarod. Jarod waved 'hi' to him, and he waved back. The beautiful ballroom dancing music
came on in the background, and Jarod asked me if I wanted to dance.
"Sure." I said and took his hand. He is such a good dancer. He twirled me around in all
the right spots, and he even let me put my head on his chest. It was such a nice feeling to
have a guy who cared about you so close to you. We danced for a while longer, and then
we walked out onto the part of the deck that was still open and listened to the sound of
the music and the waves crashing on the side of the ship. It was so romantic. I was
compleatly lost in the moment.
"Jarod..." I said quietly.
"Hm?"
"Where would you be right now, if you weren't here with me?"
"I don't know...I can't imagine being any place without you."
"Really?"
"I can't explain the feelings I have for you. But it's like, we were destined to be together."
He said and I laid my head on his shoulder again. "Do you want to dance some more?"
"Yeah." I said and we gazed into each others eyes. I never realized just how beautiful his
eyes really were. A grass-colored shade of green with speckles of white that changed as
we swayed back and fourth. I got closer and closer, until he finally gave in and kissed me.
It was definitely a lot different from the movies. I couldn't help but fall into the moment.
It was so romantic, just the two of us, kissing under the stars, with the waves crashing
behind us. I can't describe what I felt. We finally decided it was time to go to bed, so we
detached Brock from Erika and we walked back to our rooms. Jarod and I had an arm
around each other, and Erika stopped to unlock her room.
"Goodnight you guys!"
"Night!" We both said. It was really rather cute. Jarod and I stopped by my room, and I
got out the key.
"Angel..." He said softly,
"Hm?" I answered as I turned the key,
"Goodnight." He said and gave me a kiss goodnight.
"Night Jarod..." I said and smiled at him as I brushed my hand through his hair, then
closed my door. I walked into my room and saw Raichu and Charizard playing poker. "Hi
guys." I said as I opened my trunk to look for my pajamas.
"Raichu rai chu!" *I call you!*
"Char!!! Char izard!!!" *HA!!! Full House!!* He said as he laid his cards out on the table.
"All right guys, time for bed. Erika is probobly already asleep." I said as I took off
Raichu's poker hat and put my pajamas on the bed.
"Char CharChar!" *Night Marcy!* He said and took off his too with some effort. He
opened the door to the bathroom that me and Erika shared and walked through to Erika's
room. Raichu went into the bathroom to brush his teeth while I got dressed. He came out
just as I got into bed, and jumped up to lay down on my feet.
"Raichu RaiRai!" *Goodnight Marcy!* He said as he curled up.
"Goodnight Raichu." I said and pulled the covers over my head. (I always end up doing
that somehow!! o_o()) I rolled over a few times not being able to think of anything else
besides that kiss. I rolled over about three or four more times then finally, I dosed off.
I was suddenly awakened when Raichu jumped off my feet after someone had
been shaking me quite a bit.
"MARCY!!??" Erika yelled still shaking me.
"hu....what? What time...is it?" I said still half-asleep, and rolled over to face Erika and
look at my clock. "1:00!!!!" I said suddenly compleatly awake.
"What were you thinking!!!???" She yelled and finally let go of me.
"............hu?" I said starring at her slightly red face.
"We have the same dreams REMEMBER???" She said and winked like she had
something in her eye.
"oh.........." I said and turned a little red. "OH!!......that......"
"YES!!" She said, "I can't belive you kissed him!!! Or is that just you're wishful
thinking?!" She said sitting down in one of the chairs at the table.
"if....you're too loud, you're going to wake him up....." I said and got out of bed to whisper
to her at the table.
"....then....you really....did....()....kiss him?" She asked and quieted down.
"............well...yes. And he's actually a really good kisser too." I said and really lowered
my voice.
"..............ah.." She just starred at me not too sure what to say. "so....are you going to go
on a date with him?" She said still feeling weird.
"Maybe when we get home. Or, maybe when we get to Mahogany town." I said, pulling
Raichu up onto my lap.
"Well.....it's great to see that you two really like each other." She said as she stood up. "I
think I'm going to go back to bed. We have to get up tomorrow early so we can eat
breakfast, pack our bags, and get off the ship." She said and began to walk back to her
room.
"What time do we arrive at the port?" I said and got back into bed.
"I think the pamphlet said 9:00."
"K. Goodnight." I said and Raichu jumped back onto the bed with me. Erika was so tired,
she walked back into the other room and didn't say goodnight. That's ok though. we were
going to have an early morning when we got up, and it was probably best that we went to
sleep.
Later that morning, I woke up at about seven. I had just enough time to get
dressed, wake up Erika and Jarod, then go eat breakfast. I got out of bed, and rolled
Raichu up against the wall, so he wouldn't wake up just yet. I got dressed and brushed my
teeth as I walked through the bathroom to Erika's room. I walked up to her bed and saw
Charizard sleeping on the floor. I pat him on the head, but he didn't even feel it. I walked
carefully around him and proceeded to shake Erika around a bit.
"...hm..." I could tell she was still asleep. I got out Leafeons' pokeball and called him out.
"Go give Erika a good morning kiss!" I said, and he happily jumped onto Erika and licked
her face like there was no tomorrow. "wow.()" I said.
"Ah!! OK!! I'm up!" She tried to grab Leafeon's nose but, she was still asleep, so I called
him back and said,
"Come on Erika! We gotta get going!" She immediately sat up and jumped out of bed.
"AHHH!! I have to get dressed, brush my teeth, my hair..." She ran around the room in
circles, and I left to go wake up Jarod. I walked out through my room so I could wake up
Raichu and put my tooth brush back. I walked down to the next door and knocked on it.
There was no answer.
"Come on sleepy head, rise and shine! We have to get moving!" I said but there was still
no answer. "Jarod!"
"...uh?"
"Come on get out of bed!"
"yup." He said and I heard him roll over, then there was a large thud.
"Jarod?!"
"ow...()" I opened the door and discovered that he had fallen off the bed and onto the
floor.
"Um....ok...we have to get moving, so if you could kind of pull yourself together, we'll
meet you in the....." I stopped after I realized that he was snoring. I went into his room
and over to where he was half on the floor, half on the bed. "JAROD!!!" I yelled in his ear
and his eyes opened wide.
"Yow!! Ok! I get the message! Getting up!" He got out of bed and walked over to his
dresser. "Can you hand me my shirt please?" He said as he combed his hair out. I looked
around and found a loose dark blue t-shirt laying over the top of a chair by the table.
"Here go." I said and handed it to him. "I'm going to get going, so..." I said as I came up
behind him, "me and Erika'll wait for you in the grand hall ok?" I said and kissed him on
the cheek to wake him up.
"K Angel, see you then!" He said as I walked out. I walked back to my room, where
Raichu was waiting with my trunk. I picked it up, and Raichu jumped onto my shoulder.
"Rai chu rai chu RaiRai!?" *Are we going to Jhoto!?* He said as I walked down the hall
a little further back to Erika's room.
"Yes we are Raichu." I said as I stopped to see Erika locking her room.
"All set!" She said as she picked up her trunk too.
"Hey! Wait up!" I heard Jarod yelling behind us. He ran as fast as he could, carrying his
trunk.
"Careful Jarod!" I yelled and he slowed down to walk with us. We walked to first the
grand hall to check our baggage, then we went to the dinning room to get some breakfast.
It was amazingly busy by the time we had gotten there, and by the time we had gotten our
food and sat down, it was about 8:30. We ate very fast but enjoyed every bit of bacon
there was. By the time we finished, there was an anouncment that we would be arriving at
Olivine City in about 10 minutes. So, we went to the desk and picked up our trunks, then
went out onto the deck to wait. We put our stuff down next to us and we all stood leaning
on the railing watching the port come closer and closer. It was a beautiful town with
peach colored houses with light blue roof tops. There was also a huge light house that was
at least a good seven stories that had a pokemon to light it. As the ship slowed down, and
approched the shore, we picked up our stuff and prepared to get off.
That night we met in the grand hall where the party was being held, and we all
