Chapter LVII- On the Loose

That morning went quickly after we had finally decided to officially wake up, and

eat breakfast. Eventually after playing some video games we all got dressed and walked

around Goldenrod for a bit, looking at all the new shops that had shown up since we last

left. There was a new Bike Shop, new underground Shops, and an entire new floor to the

shoping center. We eventually made our way over to the Radio Tower where after taking

the tour, they insisted on interviewing Erika and me. We thought it would be fun so we

said yes and were put on the air that afternoon with Raichu and Ryu. They asked us all

sorts of questions, but mostly ones that pertained to tieing for first at the Indigo Leauge.

Then they had people call in and ask us questions about pokemon, raising pokemon, and

even asked Raichu and Ryu a few questions, which we answered for them since no one

could understand their 'jibberish' except us. There was however one person who finally

asked about our wings and Me and Erika just shrugged and made it sound like we had no

idea what they were talking about.

It was actually quite a fun day because later that night we went to the shopping

center and tried to decide on last minute costumes for us. They had a whole floor

dedicated to Halloween this year and mom, deciding to join us at the last minute, was

having a field day making everyone try on costumes. Jarod decided it would be fun to go

as Ansem from Kingdom Hearts, Noki wanted to be Aerith from Final Fantasy 7, Erika

was going to be Sailor Jupiter from Sailor Moon, and I was going to be Nataku from X.

So after we were done shopping for all the things we needed to make our costumes we

headed back to the house and got to work. All of ours except for Nokis was going to be

kinda tricky though, so my mom employed some maids to help us with making them since

it was really last minute. After they were done it was about 7:00 and we all had a

wonderful feast for dinner. There was chicken, mashed potatoes, and tons of artery

clogging foods.(lol)

The next day went by a little slower. We made last minute adjustments to our

costumes; I got white ribbons that stayed up in the air after dipping them in fabric glue and

letting them dry, and temporary white hair color, while Erika made a bow that was

transparent fabric, Jarod got the rest of the belts he needed, and Noki got the temporary

brown hair color so that it wasn't so red. Overall we sat and played video games until the

doctors office called to say that they had an opening that afternoon and if we'd like we

could get it off today. We all got excited and headed down to the hospital right away. I

was happy to have my cast off, it had started to really annoy me after a while. The

assistant told me to move my arm around a bit and see how it felt. I did and it was just like

normal again. We all left happy that I wasn't in that damn cast anymore, mom especially

because now I would look good in my costume. We all went back home and decided to

see if the gym was opened, so we walked around town, some of the trainers staring at us

as we walked by, or maybe not at us, maybe at Ryu and Raichu who were playing rock,

paper, scissors as we walked there. Unfourtunetly the gym had closed early because

Whitney was having a huge Halloween party that was going to be litterally going to

require TONS of shopping and decorating. So we went back to the house and trained our

pokemon for a while, battling each other, Erika whipping Jarod everytime.

And that's all we did for the next day really until the next day, the 29th, the day

before Halloween. I was excited to see what kind of costumes people would come up

with. Anime was becoming more popular everyday, and I wanted to see who else liked it

around here as well.

Finally. The day of Halloween came. It was so exciting. We didn't really get a

chance to celebrate last year, being on the S.S. Aqua and all, but this year was going to be

different. There was going to be awesome costumes, freaky music, candy, and GALLONS

of apple cider. I woke up early, though I don't really know why. I jumped out of bed

taking a shower, and immediatly jumped into my costume, spraying my hair white and

styling it like a guys. It was kinda freaky because I made a very convincing guy with my

chest taped down lightly ontop of a sports bra. I then continued to put the tatoos that

Nataku had on with my make up, and write the serial number on my cheek. I almost

fooled myself. I walked downstairs to breakfast and my mom was stunned.

"OHH!!! My baby!! Wait...that is you Marcy right?" She asked looking at me more

carefully.

"Yea mom it's me." I said and walked into the kitchen, careful not to bend any of my

ribbons.

"Oh! Marcy!! You look fantastic! No one will recognize you!" She said and began to

make breakfast as Noki, dressed up as Aerith, and Erika, dressed up as Jupiter, walked

down the stairs and entered the kitchen as well. "Oh!! You all look fantastic!!" She said as

Erika pulled down her skirt a tiny bit.

"Er..." She said as she tried to get it lower. "Next year Marcy...no skirts. Remember this."

She said and walked over to a chair sitting down in it. Noki walked over and sat down. It

was frightening. If not for her amazingly red eyes I would have thought she WAS Aerith. I

could smell that mom cooking us breakfast in the adacent kitchen.

"Ugh man...." I could hear Jarod coming down the stairs and watched. He looked drop

dead gorgous. The long silver trench coat, his hair now colored white as well, and not in a

short ponytail. it still wasn't back to it's normal length, but it was getting there. He took

off his big black gloves and sat down at the table. "Hey you guys where...s...?" He said

and stopped on me. "I thought Marcy was Nataku...who's this?" He said talking to Erika

but pointing to me. I then suddenly spread out my wings and he gazed. "U-uhh...OH.

Wow...is that really you?...You...look like...." He said as I put my wings away, "...a guy."

"That's the point." I said as mom brought the food to the table. "Nataku isn't a man or a

woman. So I'll look like a guy, but sound like a girl." I finished and we all started eating

our pancakes, bacon, and eggs, but he continued to stare at me. "What?" I asked

uncomfortably.

"Nothing...it's just weird...my wife looks like a guy..." He said and shoved egg into his

mouth. I glared at him, but everyone else giggled.

"Hey! You're right!" Noki said and started laughing, "Everyone is gonna think you two are

gay!!" And she began to laugh harder then ever before. Erika even snickered and burst out

laughing at this comment. Then me and Jarod looked at each other.

"You're right!!" We both said with a maniacal pleasure. Erika and Noki stopped laughing

and looked at each other, then burst out laughing again.

"This is gonna be the GREATEST Halloween EVER!!!" Noki shouted and they continued

their evil laughter.

After we had all eaten breakfast we decided to leave our pokemon at home for

now because anyone could easily recognize Raichu and Ryu in even a crowd of 150

pokemon and people. We walked around town a bit, me and Jarod holding hands with

everyone staring at us; even the people in costume. It was so DAMN FUNNY!! We then

decided to stop at the pokemart to get some stuff while we were out and about, but on

our way there we encountered something we hadn't counted on. Someone who actually

wanted to talk to us. A girl with cropped short colored red hair was walking out of the

store towards us. She seemed to be dressed as Hikaru from Magic Knight Rayearth, only

without the braid, giant cape, and sword. She had a very convincing costume and I was

just about to ask her where she got in when she began to mutter variations of the word

'Hot' under her breath in up and down tones. By the time she was done with these

utterances her face was bright red with blush, and I thought for a few seconds that there

were LITTERALLY stars in her eyes they were watering so much.

"Hi...my name is Mar...Mark. What's you name?" I asked her, still holding on to Jarods

hand.

"Mmmm" I could almost see her drool. "I'm Christiana. Did you say your name is Mark?

You should change it...it doesn't fit you at all..." She said and walked over to us now.

"Oh? And what should I change it to miss?" I asked cutely. I think she actually melted.

"HOT. That is your name from now on. Hot." She said and grabbed my arm. "Will you be

my FAVorITE bishi-slave?"

"Um..." I did a double take, "..How many do you have??? Ugh...you really shouldn't..." I

began and moved aside until she noticed Jarod.

"MMmmmm and you can be my other favorite!! Together we shall create one GIANT

army of Bishi-Slaves and conquer Japan; THEN we will take over the anime industry and

make tons of anime!!!" She said and locked her other arm around Jarod.

"Um...I'm sorry, but he belongs to me." I said and pet his arm lightly. I swear she really

took some sort of pleasure in that.

"Wait...? Are you tow REALLY???" Her eyes suddenly lit up again, this time with a

twinkle so fierce I could see she was having trouble breathing.

"Yes. He's mine." Jarod stated and kissed me smack on the lips. We stopped as we

realized she had suddenly passed out from a massive onslaught of a nosebleed.

"Oh!! My gosh are you ok!?" I asked and helped her up, her nosebleed suspiciously gone.

"I'm good....mmmm Shounen-ai...." She mumbled and I laughed.

"What?" She asked and giggled as she stood up.

"There's really something you should know..." I said and whispered something but not

before she turned compleatly red because I was so close to her face.

"Oh...." She seemed very dissapointed at the news. "Damn. That sucks." She said and

looked at me again. "I'm suprised I didn't notice before. Ah well. You make a very good

guy though...do you think just for a nice mental image before I go home...can I take a

picture of you two kissing?" She asked and whipped a camera out of the small bag clung

over her shoulder. Me and Jarod looked at each other and shrugged.

"Ready?" I asked and she shook her head, so we kissed, she took a picture and almost

passed out again, luckily Noki caught her this time.

"So what is your name really?" She asked refearing to Jarod.

"Only if you don't tell anyone." he said and leaned over a little towards her.

"Jarod Silph..." He whispered to her and she suddenly looked very sad, but very happy at

the same time. It was a very odd expression of emotion. Her eyes were sad, but she had an

unerasable smile.

"REALLY? So..." She said sadly, "...guess you can't be my bishi-slave hugh?"

"Only if Marcy says it's ok...and I don't think she'll like that." He said jokingly.

"Well...Marcy's not here is she? You want to wander around with me?" She asked and I

looked at her and smiled.

"Actually she is here thanks." I said and raised my hand not being able to resist laughing

for more then a second after she realized it was me.

"DAMN." She said. "So you're Marcy Blaze..." She said and then moved to stand next to

me. "You seemed a lot shorter on TV..."

"Actually I am." I said and pulled up my skirt-like over dress I had on. "I had to put on

these frekin huge boots to even get close to a normal guys height."

"Oh...so that's why..." She said and moved away from us. "Well thanks for the laughs!

Maybe I'll see you again some time!"

"K! Thanks! And don't forget! Don't tell anyone otherwise we'll be bombarded by people!"

Noki shouted as Christiana started to walk away.

That was some serious fun. It was hard to belive that even a girl could mistake me

for a guy. It was actually kind of a weird feeling of satisfaction. Later on that afternoon

after frightening half the people in Goldenrod we decided to go back to my house, which

we did, and then later that night we went around and trick-or-treated. It was actually quite

fun. I hadn't done it in two years and it was fun to play with peoples heads. We went to

every place in town we could think of, including Whitneys party. She really did go all out

though. She had ghosts, goblins, fog machines, a scary sounds record going, ominous

lighting, gravestones, it was cool. And she had really good candy too. I think we got most

of our candy there cause she just left HUGE a bowl of it out and we took the stuff we

wanted. at about 10:30 we went back to my house and just crashed, having a small party

with my dad and my mom. We drank apple cider till we were sick of it, ate candy, and

watched horror movies till about 1:00, when we finally decided we were tired, and all

went to bed.
