On with the show.


Misty sat on the tall seat in the biology labs.
Snap and Dupllica sat in the seats in front of her and she sat at the back.
The seat next to her was empty.
Some guys had attempted the fill the seat but they had to compete with the time honored tradition of best friends sitting together.
Misty sighed and glanced at the void space that seemed alarmingly empty.
The teacher had begun speaking when suddenly the door burst open and Ash stood at the door, out of breath.
Everybody looked up at him curiously and the teacher waited for the explanation.

"Sorry miss, I was inadvertently delayed" he said quickly and then hurried to the end of the class and slid into the seat beside Misty.

"Where were you?" she asked, in a soft whisper.

He shrugged and looked away.
Ash had been acting strangely all day and usually he always let her on his schemes so that she could out the tiny problems that could make everything go awol.
Ash saw that he hurt Misty's feelings but if he told her, it would ruin everything.

"And so I want you to pair up into pairs and work on various topics" the teacher called from the front of the class.

Ash turned to Misty.

"Up for another school project avec moi?" he asked, grinning at her.

Misty gave him a funny look.

"You think you have a choice?" she asked.

"It is nice to be appreciated."

"No one said that I appreciated you"

"You looooooovvvvvvvveeeeee me" he taunted.

Misty gave him an unexpected shove which caught him off guard and knocked him off his seat.
The desks were quite high and they were at the back so no one saw him.
Misty looked down and tried to suppress a giggle.

"Misty? Where's Ash gone? He hasn't left has he?" the teacher asked at the front of the class.

Everyone turned around and looked at them.
Misty pointed down at Ash was.

"Um I'm here, miss" Ash said, popping his head behind the desk.

"Oh Ash, I didn't see you come in"

"Yeah you came in the via the secret passage way that leads in the science labs desks" Misty muttered .

Duplica suppressed a laugh upon hearing this.

"Your not trying to climb into the desk?" the teacher asked, alarmed.

The whole class gave the teacher a puzzled look.
The desk were made of solid pine all the way through.

"Eh no Miss, I wasn't" Ash said trying not to sound as confused as he looked.

"What are you doing down there?" she asked, as Ash was still on the ground and the only thing you could see was his head and neck.

"He eh dropped a pen "Misty said quickly but Ash didn't hear her.

"Where is it?" the teacher asked.

"Where is what?" he asked, puzzled, knowing that the science teacher got weirder and more scatterbrained everyday.

"This pen you dropped?

"The pen I dropped?"

"YES! The pen you dropped"

"I didn't drop a ohh, well its emm"

Misty slipped a pen of the desk and dropped it into Ash's hand.

"Here! " he yelled out holding up the pen up in the air triumphantly.

The teacher waked down and inspected the pen.

"I'd say it more of a biro then a pen but that's really a matter of opinion. A plastic Bic with a gold nib to be precise"

"I suppose that might be more accurate" Ash admitted.

The class continued and the projects were chosen.
During English studies Tracey arrived in.
The girls waved at him and the guys gave him grins.
He found a seat next to Richie.
A girl followed him in.
A girl with waist long brown hair held back in two loose ponytails and a hat over it.
She wore flared jeans and a pink see through top with long sleeves and a hood and underneath she wore a tight pink vest top.
The teacher walked over to her and just as he was about to speak she blew a bubble and popped in inches away from his face.
The class went silent, shocked.
The girl brushed back a shoulder length bang from her face.

"And who are you?" Mr. Mullins demanded, angrily as he whipped the pair of sunglasses away from her face.

"My name is Melody." she replied coolly.

"Alright, Melody. Spit it out" he ordered.

Melody rolled her eyes and spat the chewing gum into the rubbish bin.

"Happy?" she asked, not really caring who she was giving this attitude to.

Gasps went up around the class.

"Take your seat this instant and I want to hear no sound from you for the rest of the class" Mr. Mullins told, struggling to keep his anger in check.

The girl had a problem with authority which was strange because she came in with Tracey who was a good student, he never had any behavior problems so how did they both relate to each other.
Maybe it simply a coincidence.

"Excuse me sir?" Giselle said raising her slender arm.

Mr. Mullins and Melody looked at her.

"Melody can sit next to me" she volunteered

Mr. Mullins looked at her doubtfully when he saw she was surrounded as usual by her friends.
Giselle threw the girl; sitting next to her a look and the girl quickly scrambled over to the seat on the girls left leaving an empty seat beside Giselle.
Melody shrugged and made her way down the aisle.
The reaction from the rest on the class was pretty much the same as when Snap had first walked down the aisle of his first class but while Snap was embarrassed as he walked, Melody walked with confidence basking in the attention.

The rest of the day went off smoothly.
Ash never explained where he was and Misty never said anything about it.
Snap was gaining more confidence as time went on and he began to feel more sure about himself.
Duplica was getting annoyed by the way Snap kept giving Misty sidelong glances.
Tracey was getting used to have Melody around most because she wasn't around him and he was getting to know Snap.
Brock had managed to get a couple of the gang to help him babysit tonight.
Misty had volunteered first, she wanted to get out of practicing tonight and she loved Brock's family.
She had a way with kids.
Ash agreed out of sheer boredom and he loved nothing better than being with his friends.
They could bring their Pokemon to Brock's and just have a great time.
They weren't allowed to bring their Pokemon to school.
Duplica decided to go as well because the kids thought she was hilarious and she could try out some new material on them.
Snap decided to go as well because Duplica who he considered his best friend would be there and maybe he could make Misty see what a great guy he was.
Tracey agreed so that he needn't be around Melody.
Richie was laid back so he didn't really care where they hung out.

Eventually the day ended and the gang was heading towards Brock's house.
Misty, Duplica, Snap, Ash, Tracey, Brock and Richie were heading out the door when
Misty froze on the spot .
"Hey what's up?" Richie asked.
"OK I had six Pokeballs and now there's only five." she said, panic beginning to creep into her voice, making it shrill.

She began to take short breaths and her eyes were wide with fear.
Ash placed both hand on her shoulders and tried to keep her still.

"Look calm down, we'll find it. Which one is missing?" he asked.

"Psyduck"

"You have a Psyduck?" Snap asked, surprised.

"Now is not the time for the Spanish inquisition, OK?" she shrieked.

"HEY! He was just asking, don't bite his head because your neglectful of your Pokemon" Ash objected.

"What did you say?" Misty growled, about to lunge at him.

Brock stepped between them and Richie was Misty back. and she was struggling to get loose.

"Look this won't help us get Psyduck back" Brock told her calmly .

Misty took a deep breath and let it go and slumped her shoulders.

"I guess your right" she muttered.

They heard a whistling and saw the principal coming towards them, they were near his office.
Misty's eyes widened as she saw him step through the door, kicking a pokeball as he walked.
The small ball rolled into the office and the door closed with a click.

"He just kicked my Psyduck in there" she hissed.

"Well just ask for him back" Snap suggested.

"I/she was banned from bringing Psyduck in after the incident" Richie, Ash, Duplica and Misty said at the same time.

"He's always suspicious of me" Misty muttered.

"Gee I wonder why" Richie said.

"We can create a distraction and you guys go in and get the Pokeball back." Duplica suggested .

Misty and Ash exchanged looks.

"OK, the girls got a good brain in there" Trcaey said, grinning..

Ash knocked on the door and waited until he heard a clear "Come in".
Tracey, Brock, Richie, Duplica and Snap walked in and Misty and Ash got down on their hands and knees.
They crawled in slowly, avoiding the principals attention.

"Ah, yes what can I do for all of you?" the principal asked, surprised to see so many pupils at one time.
They remained standing so that the principal would have to look up to see him and Misty and Ash could crawl around.
Misty saw the Pokeball under the desk and crawled underneath the desk and Ash followed her.
They both squeezed into the small area that was for the principals legs.
Their noses' were practically touching his shins.

"Well it's just that there have been some things we would like to discuss" Brock began .

Misty grabbed the Pokeball when suddenly the principals' leg swung forward and smacked into Ash's nose.
He was about to let out a yell when Misty slapped her hand against his mouth to stop him from making a sound
The group could see the principals attentive expression change to one puzzlement. when swung one his legs over each other as he always did when he felt his leg hit something.
They knew what this meant, Ash and Misty were caught.
He pushed back his chair and peered under the table and jumped back.
Misty and Ash looked up at him sheepishly.
He peered down at them again, this time angrily

"See Ash, I told his trousers were black" she said, looking at Ash.

"I thought they were navy, well now that that's sorted" Ash said and they pulled back out from under the table.


"Miss Waterflower, Mr. Ketchum. If I many speak to you privately about this ... debacle" he said in a calm yet still very angry voice.

"Do we have to?" Misty asked.

"Miss Waterflower this offer is non-negotiable. " he said, narrowing his eyes at the young girl.

Then turning to the others, he smiled at them, the smile or a shark about to eat his prey.{If sharks smile}

"I shall deal with you all later with right now, these two are the most prominent problem"

"Sir please, I know I messed up but I'm really sorry and its not anyone's else fault but mine " Misty said, sincerely.

She threw Ash a helpless a look and he mouthed "Use the look".

She mouthed back "No Way" and he mouthed back something at her.
Ash watched her turn to the principal.
She had some sort of trick where she managed to make her eyes big and sweet, like that of a child and she gave him a cute innocent little smile.
While Misty could be beautiful, she could also be adorable, like a five year old.

"Sir, I'm begging you for another chance" she pleaded using her cute expression and then changed to puppy dog eyes.

Anyone other than the principal would crumble when Misty turned on the cuteness to this extent.
Unfortunately the principal had nerves of steel.

"You wait outside" he said to the others .

Then turning to Misty he began speaking again.

".Miss Waterflower, you certainly have a knack of melting anyone's heart with those looks but I've principled every member of your family and I know its all in the genes so you'll forgive me if I don't fall for it"

"Can you technically principal someone?"

"Just sit here and wait till I call your sisters"

Misty folded her arms and slumped in her chair and Ash sighed.

"And I'll call your mother. It's a pity that a sweet woman like your mother has to be dragged in here to deal with her delinquent of a son"

Twenty minutes later outside the office.

"How much trouble do you think they're in?" Duplica asked.

"Well Ash's Mom is very gentle but I think she could come down a like a pile of bricks on Ash if she's found that he's not behaving and Misty's sisters are beautiful but they are nut cases" Tracey replied.

"Yeah but they are beautiful" Brock said dreamily.

Richie waved his hand in front of Brock's face and sighed.

"We've lost him" he informed the others.

"YOU BETTER PRAY THAT WE WEREN'T DRAGGED DOWN HERE FOR SOMETHING THAT YOUR NOT PARTIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR" Daisys shrill voice rang out as she stalked up to them.

Her high heels clicked on the tiles of the office.

"Shhhhhh" the secretary hissed.

The others watched the stunning blonde turn on her heel and glare at the secretary placing her hands on her hips.

"Don't you dare shush me. Like who do you think you are dragging me down to the school cause of my high maintenance sister and you like tell me what to do.
I don't go here any more so you can't tell me what to do.
Yeah I used to go here and you know what I didn't listen to you back then either."

"Daisy I think you should take a breather, your going crazy" Richie told her, trying to be reasonable.

"Oh yes I remember you and your sisters very well. Its no wonder why your little sister turned out the way she did, with role models like you"

Daisy glared at her and was about to sat something when the principal swung out of the door and looked at Daisy.
A pretty woman with brown hair walked towards them.
Her hair was held back in a ponytail and a Mr. Mime followed her.

"Please Mrs. Ketchum, Ms Waterflower. We have matters to discuss" he said solemnly.

Snap and Richie peered into the office in while Daisy walked with her head held high and her face registering rage and Delia Ketchum looked disappointment.

Misty sat slumped in the chair, she turned around when she heard the rustling and she shot her sister a sheepish smile.
"Hiya Daisy" she said, nervously.
This was one of the only times Ash saw Misty really being human, being afraid of a higher authority well then and when she saw a bug.

"Everyday after school you are marching your butt back home and practicing 'till we tell your excused and then after that you march your butt up to your room 'cause you are grounded till your old enough to claim old age pension" she growled.

Mistys smile faded and she avoided her sisters smoldering glare.

"Ash, what have you done?" Delia asked softly, looking at hers on, upset.

"Mom, I..."

"You caught two of us under your desk trying to get a Pokeball lets not blow this out of proportion" Misty said without thinking, as soon as the words were out of her mouth she regretted them.

"Young lady your input was not asked for " he growled at her then turned to Daisy "We must keep a united front on this to ensure discipline at all times I think the most appropriate course of action would be to detain Misty and Ash along with their accomplices in detention for a month or so"

"I'm afraid that won't be possible Misty and my other two sisters and I all have training every day and right now we're really working hard to get Misty to cooperate-operate and this will like totally mess that up. We'll take care of her, so thanks and cya" Daisy said standing up and turned to the door.

"Daisy, sit back down" Delia told her, kindly.

"Ms Waterflower I'm insisting that your sister be kept on detention I invited you here to inform you of what was happening and I had hoped that together we could decide upon an appropriately adequate punishment and I had assumed that I would receive your full co operation."

Daisy looked at him some doubt some shock and some anger playing on her face.

"Are you like, coming onto me?" she demanded.

Ash tried to hold in laughter, Misty looked at her sister shocked and somewhat amused, Delia was simply shocked and the principals face turned beet red and his face changed to shock and embarrassment.

"Miss Waterflower! I certainly insinuated no such thing. " he cried.

Daisy folded her arms.

"My sisters training is very important, too important to be replaced by detention and I made the decision. I'm the adult in the house so I get to decide what's best" she said, matter of factly.

The principal rubbed his temples wearily then looked up as if he had some inspiration.

"What kind of training are you and your sisters participating in?" he asked.

"Well my sisters and I put on water shows at our aquarium and we trying to train Misty to dance and we're really trying to get her to sing" Daisy replied, sitting back down,

"I'm not a dog" Misty snapped.

"Down girl!" Daisy said, distracted by the principals question.

"Well our drama department is putting on a musical and I know that rehearsals would be every day after school. I'm sure that Misty would receive the desired training and the drama teacher is always looking for students to participate in the show" he suggested.

"No way, that is"

"Totally perfect. You've got yourself Misty, she can practice everything there and then she can come home and practice."

"Of course we can't guarantee her a role"

"Of course if you saw Misty trying to dance you wouldn't want her to be on stage. Talk about a catastrophe" Daisy said a smile.

Misty looked at her sister with pleading eyes but it was no good.

"Well what about Ash? "Delia asked.

"Well he has a choice between detention and the musical"

"This really shows how downhill our school drama has gone "Misty snapped.

"Well Ash?" Delia asked, giving her son a stern look.

"That's not a choice, " Ash objected but sighed in defeat. "The musical"

"Great! You may leave now and don't let me catch you in here again"

They left the office, Daisy wearing a bright smile and Misty scowling.
Delia had an arm around Ash's shoulders and Ash slumped over and his hands were shoved in his pocket

"Oh you two are going to look so cute" Delia announced smiling at them.

This comment left the others wondering what exactly had transpired in there.

"Hey guys?" Richie called out.

Misty and Ash turned around.

"What happened in there?" they asked.

Misty and Ash exchanged looks.

"An evil, evil deed" they replied.
