Hi, this is really important-the reason the last chapter was so short was because itwas only half of the chapter.

I had two files, one of which had half the chapter and the other which was the complete chapter and I uploaded the wrong chapter so this chapter is the second half of chapter 5.

Sorry about that but to make up for that, I'm uploaded the last chapter as well.

So enjoy

Read and review

Nibbs

The two girls and one boy went silent as they watched Giselle and one of her Giselle-

ettes walking past them.

The Giselle-ette was smirking and she stopped suddenly.

"You know what Giselle" she began, smiling brightly and tossing her obviously dyed

blonde hair over her shoulder.

"I am like so relieved that everyone's got over that silly little rumour that you and that"

she jerked her head back at Brock who was talking to someone but had stopped when he

saw both girls looking at him.

"Uber loser actually had something going on. I mean it must have been so hard for you

being associated with that social pond slime, "

The Giselle -ette giggled and put a hand on Giselles shoulder trying to be comforting but

Giselle shrugged her hand off.

By now everyone around them had stopped what they were doing to watch.

Brock cautiously approached the desk where his three friends were sitting.

Giselle and her friend were directly in front of the desk so the four on the desk got a

perfect view of everything.

Giselles head was lowered and suddenly she snapped her head up and her eyes were

blazing, scaring everyone especially her Giselle-ette.

"EXCUSE ME! Listen Cindy or as your parents prefer to call you, JOAN, that's my boy

you're talking about, so shut it before I make you" she growled threateningly.

A shocked silence fell over the crowd.

Cindy or Joan looked around in alarm and let out a few startled gasps before narrowing

her eyes.

"Ok you wanna start something, we can but our friends will back me so I'm afraid you're

a teensy bit outnumbered. " Cindy grinned maliciously at Giselle.

"Oh my God, I am like so ready to throw down" a mockingly girlie voice cried out.

Everyone stared at the owner of the voice and they couldn't believe Misty was standing

by Giselles sidewith a mocking smile

Cindy stared at Misty in terror.

"You're going to fight but you hate Giselle and "

Misty looked at Giselle.

"You wanna take this solo or can I join in?" she asked with a friendly grin.

Giselle looked at her , complete disbelief etched on her face before she grinned.

"Be my guest"

"Oh what's wrong , Joan, I thought you had back up" Misty pouted, mimicking Cindy's

voice and expression.

Cindy stuck her nose up in the air and stalked away.

The crowd was still silent, too stunned to speak.

Misty placed her hands on her hips and she smirked.

"That was fun, would have been more fun if she'd stayed but c'est la vie"

Giaselle looked at Misty and then averted her gaze to the ground, ashamed.

"Thanks Red" she said quietly.

"You gotta learn to pick your battles" Misty said with a sigh but then when Giselle heard

a giggle, she looked up.

Misty was giving her a warm smile.

"I'm glad you picked this one"

GIselle laughed and grinned back at her, and unspoken bond and friendship forming

between the pair.

Brock stood up from the table and looked over at Giselle seriously.

"I think we need to talk" they both said at the same time.

"Ohh thats dangerous, they just jinxed each other, now neither of them can talk" Lisa

whispered.

Tracey looked at her and shook his head.

"See why can't I jinx you two?" he groaned as he dragged Misty and Lisa away.

"I thought it was a guy who fights for the ladies honour" Brock commented, breaking the

awkward silence.

Giselle sat on the desk previously occupied by Misty, Tracey and Lisa.

"I thought an uptown man like you wouldn't be so old fashioned, "she answered avoiding

his gaze.

Brock joined her on the desk and they both fell quiet.

"Look, we are not here to make stupid small talk so lets just get this.."

Giselle was cut off by Brock as he grabbed her and pulled into a kiss.

When they parted they stared at each other for a few moments before Giselle laughed and

jumped on him, knocking him backwards and pinned him on the desk.

Just as they were about to continue, a loud cough interrupted them.

Mr. Crefell stood in front of them with a hand on his face.

"Please stop turning my theatre of dreams into a house of hormones" he whined.

They both sat up quickly and blushed, looking down avoiding Mr. Crefells stern glare.

"Ohh a house of hormones , sounds like my kind of place, maybe I can convince Misty to

give into the house rules" Rudy laughed as he stopped next to them.

A apple soared through the air and collided with the back of Rudy's head.

He let out a surprised shriek which caused Giselle and Brock to snicker.

"Who threw that?" he demanded.

Everyone near him looked at him skeptically and wandered about their business.

"PIKA!" a cheerful voice cried out and Rudy saw a Pikachu standing near the curtains,

smiling and waving its tiny paws.

"Awhh it was just a little Pikachu" Rudy announced, rolling the apple back towards the

small mouse who grabbed it and ran behind the curtain.

Ash who was hidden in the curtain suppressed the urge to burst out laughing until Rudy

was out of sight.

Pikacu arrived back with the apple and began nibbling it.

"The perfect crime" Ash laughed as he petted Pikachu.

Pikachu didn't know why it brought her friend so much joy to pelt another person with

fruit but she figured it had something with Misty so she didn't really question it too much,

besides no one could ever get mad at the Pikachu.

Pikachu giggled wildly at this thought until Ash scooped her and sat against the wall,

dropping her into his lap.

Pikachu turned around a few times to get comfortable but gave up and scrambled up

Ash's arm and top of his head, settling down.

"So lets see, Tracey and Lisa, Brock and Giselle who else is gonna decide they can't stand

to be single one second longer" Ash did his best presenter voice then slumped his

shoulders.

"Pika ka chu kachu"

"I am not bitter" he argued.

Piakchu giggled.

"Yeah yeah, its easy for you, all you have to is sniff someone's butt and then shake tails

and charge you cheeks to decide if you've found your soul mate"

"Pikachu pikachu pi ka chu chu"

"No it could not be that easy for me"

"Pikachu I'm sick of this, I'm sick of everything being so crazy, what happened to us

hanging out on the pier, jumping into the lake and ..."

"Kachu"

"Ok I know we never did that, but what happened to just hanging out. None of this

nonsense of trying to figure out if she likes me or if I like her or if someone else likes her.

Just hanging out in the park or even at school, making jokes, talking about Pokemon or

anything. When did everything become so warped?"

"Man Pikachu you wouldn't get any of this on the road, out there traveling around, only

having to worry about yourself and your Pokemon.

No jerks hitting on your best friends out there and no girls ditching you for someone else.

I mean I am so tired of not getting any sleep because I'm miserable and the only way to

get over someone is to get away from them"

Pikachu was sitting up alert, she was worried about this trail of thoughts her friend was

having and she was scared of where it might take him.

She knew how impulsive Ash was and it seemed his throwaway comments were forming

plans.

"Yeah, imagine it Pikachu, Misty would be happy, I'd be happy and after a while

everyone else would get over it. I think it's the best outcome we could get "

"Pika Pika Pikapi ka chu chu"

"Well ok, I wouldn't be happy straight away, but you don't get it, after a while I'd get so

caught up in the my journey that I'd forget about all the crap that's been going on around

here"

Pikachu tried to argue with him again, desperately trying to point out the flaws in his plan

that he didn't see because he was blinded by his own emotions.

Duplica was walking around looking for Ash, she had made it her mission to fix this

slight communication problem between Misty and Ash when she heard his voice.

Her face lit up and approached him when she froze in her tracks.

"That settles it, Pikachu. As soon as this musical is over and done with, I'm outta here and

off into the big bad world and I hope its prepared."

"Pika pika chu chu pi chu?"

"No I can't tell anyone else, they wouldn't understand.I'm gonna make a clean break,

away from everything here and the slate is gonna be wiped clean"

Duplica's eyes watered.

She took off, frantically trying to find Misty.

This hand to end before it went way too far.

To be continued.

Ok so thats that sorted, I'm very sorry about the mix up.
