Chapter XXXII- Jarod's Birthday Surprise
Well, we spent the rest of that day eating and playing what few video games
Prof.Oak had. They were mostly pokemon, but there were some racing games too. The
next day we went back to train some more and get in some last minute supplies before we
headed to the Indigo Platue, where the pokemon league was held every year in Kento. We
stayed there an extra hour to make up for the day before, but I think we were all grateful
to have a break. It gave us time to kill, and teach our pokemon new tricks. (You'll have to
wait to see what they are^_^) When we finished all our training and everyone was
satisfied, we walked back to Prof.Oak's house to grab some lunch. We did the same thing
every day until the morning of June 30, Jarod's Birthday. By then Raichu and White Blaze
were both Lv. 80, Ryu and Vaporeon were Lv. 80, and Jarod's Pegesedon and Dragonair
were both Lv. 94. I asked Erika and Prof. Oak to pretend that they didn't know it was
Jarod's birthday, and to forget about it because we were throwing him a surprise party.
What I didn't tell them though that was I took Jarod's pokemon!!! I walked down stairs
into the kitchen where Prof. Oak was making breakfast with Jarod's pokeballs in my
pocket.
"You'll remember right? Nothing about Jarod's birthday." I said queitly as I sat down at
the table, and Erika walked down stairs.
"Right....*Evil, but cute, look*" All of a sudden I could hear Jarod running down the
stairs. "Come on out everyone!" Erika yelled and threw her pokeballs into the air.
"Come on out guys!" I threw only my pokeballs into the air with my right hand, holding
Jarod's behind my back in my left hand. All our pokemon came out as Jarod ran into the
room, still with his pajamas on, Feraligatr slippers, and a green bow low in his hair
trailing behind him and he slipped across the floor.
"My.....my....my Pokemon...are...GONE!!!" He yelled as he caught his breathe and ran
around our pokemon.
"What??!!" Erika yelled and looked behind my back. I knew she realized that I had them,
because she made this cute little evil face then said, "Well, did ya check Marcy's room?"
"Why would I check there???" He asked and began to wonder.
"Did you look all over you're room?" I asked and slipped his pokeballs back into my
pocket. "Come on, they've gotta be there some place!" I said and walked up the stairs after
he ran up them. I walked into his room and began to pretend to look for his pokeballs
while he searched through a dresser. I walked out off the room, but just as I did he said,
"Oh MANN!!! This had to happen on my birthday???!!!", as he threw another sock on the
floor. I stopped at the door and said,
"Oh.....today's you're birthday?? (sarcasticly) I had no idea!" Then walked out. Boy! I
wish I could have seen the look on his face when I said that!! He's only told me about
seven times!!^_^ I walked down stairs and threw the pokeballs onto the kitchen floor,
letting everyone out. I huddled all the pokemon in the room; Raichu, Hinoarashi,
Leafeon, Pidgeot, Gyrados, White Blaze, Ryu, Vaporeon, Chikorita, Arbok, Kadabra,
Haunter, Feraligatr, Ampharos, Victreebel, Pegesedon, Dragonair, and Weezing; into a
circle around me then said,
"Now, I want you all to find some place to hide; anywhere at all! Big, small and in
between, we're gonna give Jarod a surprise! Go!" I said and they all ran off in different
directions. "I'll keep him busy, Raichu, you tell me when you're all set and I'll come down
to hide last; I'm going to go distract Jarod ^_~. Erika, you finish helping proffesor Oak
with the cake, then go hide too." I said and went to go walk upstairs.
"K!^_^" She said and went to the far end of the kitchen. I quietly walked upstairs and
opened the door to Jarod's room.
"Jarod? Did you find em yet?" I said and walked in quietly.
"......no. And I have no idea what I did with them. I had them yesterday!!!" He said in
frustration. He was sitting on the floor infront of his dresser, with the contents all over the
floor.
"Don't worry...they're here somewhere..." I said and sat down next to him.
"Maybe I should go look downstar..." He began and got up, but I stopped him.
"No...the're up here. I know it. Remember, we were watching T.V. with Ampharos last
night." I said and he sat back down.
"Huuuuuuugggg.....you're right..." He said and I put my head on his shoulder. "What would I
do without you?" He said and put his arm around me.
"I don't know....but you sure would lose a lot of stuff ^_^hehehe" I said and rubbed his
shoulders. Is Raichu ready yet??????I can't keep this up for much longer!!?? I thought to
myself.
"That's goooood....a little more to the left...." He said and I rubbed a little more. Suddenly,
I heard Raichu say,
"RaiRai! Raichu!" *Marcy! Ready!* and I stopped.
"Ohhh....what does he want?" Jarod said and grabbed my hand as I got up.
"He needs some help. I'll be back." I said and bent over, kissing him on the lips. I walked
out as soon as he detached himself from my hand. I quietly walked down the stairs and
whispered, "Is everyone ready?" There were some murmurs and Raichu finally said,
"Raichu Rai!" *All ready!*
"Ok! I'm going to turn off the lights! Hinoarasi, Ryu, Pegesedon, keep your flames low,
we don't want him to spot you." I whispered and flicked the light switch then closed all
the windows. It took my eyes a few moments to adjust to the dark, but I found a place to
hide with Raichu behind the staircase. "Ok, here goes!" I whispered. "Jarod!!! Help!!" I
yelled, and suddenly heard bounding foot steps running around upstairs.
"Marcy???!!" He yelled and came running down the stairs despite the darkness.
"Help!!" Erika yelled.
"Erika???!!!" He yelled and looked in her direction. "What's going on!!??"
"Over here...." I said quietly, laying down on the floor behind the staircase.
"Marcy??" Jarod ran behind it and Raichu ran underneath it to hide. "Marcy??!! What
happened??!!" He asked as he picked me up.
"All...the...pokemon............." I said to grab the pokemons attention.
"All the pokemon what....???? What's going on??!" He said frightened. I really didn't
mean to have that effect on him, I guess I'm just a good actress."Come on..."
".................NOW!!!!!!" I yelled and the pokemon all jumped out of hiding, with Erika
flipping on the lights and throwing confetti on Jarod.
"WHAT????!!!" Jarod yelled surprised, and fell back on his butt still holding me.
"Happy Birthday!" We all said and his pokemon ran over to him, giving him huggs.
"Marcy??? This was you're doing?" He said still a little shaken.
"Yeah. I'm sorry if I scarred you. I really didn't mean too." I said and leaned over to give
him a hug, but he pulled back. "What's wrong? Are you mad at me?" I asked and sat
down infront of him.
"............" He just sat for a moment then said, "Well, it's just that, I thought you were
hurt.....I was scarred something had happened to you."
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it to go that way. I'm sorry if I scarred you. What else do you want me to say?" I said shyly. He
just sat there and starred at me, half angry, half relieved. "Jarod?" I said and put my hand
on his shoulder, but he suddenly got up and walked away. ".......Jarod?....." I hope I didn't
scare him that bad. I hope he's not too mad at me....what'll I do if he is?? What'll he do??
I thought; then all of a sudden, he turned and ran out the front door. "JAROD!!??
WAIT!!" I said and ran after him.
"Marcy! Hold on! Wait for me!" Erika said and got up too.
"No....wait here. This is my fault. If I'm not back in 10 minutes then come after me!" I
said as I ran out the door. I could see his blue hair in front of me, but he was so far ahead
that that's all I could make out. He ran into the forest ahead, and I began to breathe hard.
"Jarod." I said, but kept running. When I got to the forest there was no sign of where he
entered, so I had no choice but to wing it. I walked in breathing harder than ever, trying to
calm down, but I couldn't help getting too worked up. I looked for him for about five
minutes, then heard something. "Ja...rod..." I said out of breathe and getting dizzier by the
second. "Ja...ro..d...ple...ase..." I said, but there was a suddenly sharp pain in my chest and
I fell over, gasping for air. "J..a...r...o..d......h...e...l...p......" I said and said louder, until the
pain was to intense to speak. "Argggggghhh.....I....can't....d...i...e.....not...here...not....lik..
e...this...argggghhh! HELP PLEASE!!! ANYONE!!" I yelled out, curling up into a ball
fighting off the pain in my chest that was far too intense for me to handle. I heard another
sound in the bushes. It was Erika. But I was so scarred and so dizzy, I couldn't call out for
help any longer.
"Marcy!!??" I heard Erika yell out. "Where are you!!?? Are you all right!!?? I heard you
call, now answer me!? PLEASE!!!" She yelled out but began to walk away from where I
was. The she stopped. Did she hear me breathing hard?? Did she see my pink pajamas?
"Jarod!!" She said. No....he was there all along, but....he didn't help me?? Was he that
angry at me that he chose to ignore my cries for help?? Or, did he think that I was just
trying to get his attention by pretending to be in trouble? But, I am in trouble! I do need
help! I'm here!! Right here!! Just a few feet away!! Please see me!!? "Jarod....." She
continued, "didn't you hear Marcy calling for help??! How can you just ignore something
like that??"
"Erika....I'm sorry. I was just so.......I don't know. I don't have an excuse..."
"I don't want one! I want to know, what if she's dying right now!? Hugh?!" Erika! Don't
say that! I feel like I'm going to any minute!! This pain.... "Jarod, if you love her, you'll
help me find her; and I know you do because of that ring. That ring shows a comitment to
one another! In sickness and in health, for better or for worse! Now, you are going to help
me find her, or you can leave right now!!!!!" She was nearly in tears, I could hear it in her
voice.
"............You're right Erika. I don't know what I was thinking. I have to help you find her,
because....I don't want anything bad to happen to her......when I do find.........I'll tell
her..............." I started to get dizzy and the words fadded out as I gave into the pain in my
chest, my hands dropped, and my eyes colsed. That was the end of that moment.
The next time I opened my eyes, I looked around, and I was back in Proffesor
Oaks living room, laying down on the couch with my wings folded underneath me. The
pain in my chest was gone, and as soon as my eyes focused enough, I saw Jarod sitting
next to me, holding my hand. He slowly opened his mouth and said,
"I love you" in a tiny sweet voice. I opened my mouth to tell him how glad I was that he
wasn't mad at me, but he stopped me and continued in the cute voice,"shhh. don't say anything. I
know what you're going to say....it's in your eyes. I just want to tell you I'm sorry for running off like that. It was my fault
that I over reacted, and it was my fault that you're like this now. But don't you worry. I'll stay by your side until you
recover. I promise. Erika told me something out there that meant more to me than any lesson I could have learned by
running off. you probobly heard it hugh?" He finally stopped and I shook my head 'yes'. "I thought so. Well,
I'll bring you upstairs to your room, and we'll celebrate tomorrow. Ok?" He said and I pointed to my left wrist
asking what time it was.
"9:00" He said as he picked me up off the couch, careful not to hurt my wings. He carried
me up stairs to my room and pulled back the covers on my bed, then put me on it and
tucked me in.
"Thanks." I said in a soft voice and rolled over to fall asleep.
"Goodnight." He said and kissed my forehead. He walked out of the room, closing the
door just leaving it open a crack. I instantly fell asleep.
I woke up later on in the night when I heard something downstairs. I rolled over
and looked at my clock. It was 11:30. Raichu was sleeping curled up next to me, so I
carefully pulled the covers off and put them on him. I got out of bed and walked to the
door where there was a dim light coming through from downstairs. I walked over to the
edge of the loft where the railing was and looked downstairs into the family room. I soon
realized that it wasn't a lamp that was casting the dim light, but it was the moon creeping
around the couches and reflecting off the screen of the computer. I rubbed my eyes a little
and looked closer to see that Jarod was sitting downstairs on the couch. I felt better than I
had before, though I was still half-asleep, and stretched out my wings silently. I got up
onto the railing, and jumped off, sailing throgh the air for a moment, then landing
gracefully sitting in his lap.
".....Marcy? You scarred me." He said and held me up.
"It seems like I've been doing that a lot lately." I said putting my arm around him, my
wings relaxed but still there. He starred at my eyes for a moment then said,
"....(Soft voice,) I was so scarred when I found you laying on the ground unconsious.....It made me realize....just how
important you really are to me...More than anything else, I wanted you to wake up and tell me you were all right. But, you
didn't. Not for a while anyway....hughhhggg.....I'm tired, but I can't sleep. I guess I was just........so worried about you..."
"To tell you the truth, I had a nightmare. You can bet I'm going to hear about it tommorrow from Erika, but, I was really
scarred. Maybe....if we stay down here....together, we could sleep better?" I suggested and put my head on his
chest. I could feel his heart beating, and I knew what he was thinking. "Let's just sit here....just like
this...the rest of the night...Let's not.....destroy the moment....live in it...forever...just like this..." I said and hugged
him tight then driffted off to sleep in his lap, my head on his chest, arm around him.
"Peaceful....and calm....the moon's light shinning down...Marcy..." I heard him whisper as he put one arm up
on the couch, his head falling close to mine. I could hear him breathe, I could hear his
heart beat, and could feel the warmth in his voice as he fell asleep, I opened my eyes only
for a moment, and saw his face, just like a little boy.
Well, we spent the rest of that day eating and playing what few video games
