The Truth in Lies

by Kyoto-chan

A/N: Bleh...I'm back with an update. -grumbles- Oh, and the friend who was with Wally was Lime from Serebii. xD Wait'll LH hears this...-ahem- I'll start off the chapter already...no need to have all those unnessacaries...and I'm being lazy...and impatient, so probably in the next chapter or this one, it'll end. -shrugs- And then, I'll get up off my lazy bum and start writing that AU...and possibly a sequel to this one...okay, carrying on! Oh yeah, the rating's been raised, thanks to my potty mouth in this chapter. Oh yeah, I've changed the genre, 'cause this is more humor than angst. Maybe the AU will... Anyway, I made a mistake in the ages...so to clarify them, here they are:

Brendan: 15 May: 14

There...that's gone out of my--CRAP! Nooo...my battery's going dea--

Chapter Eight: The Power Plant Problem

CRrrZaaaapppp...

"Hell no! Not again!" shouted May, irritated.

"Relax May...must be something with the electrical system. Hey Mr. Maple, do you guys pay the bills?" Brendan asked Norman.

Norman simply replied, "Yeah..."

Brendan sighed, "Then...we're going to have to go to Cerulean City and the power plant there."

"I can't face my sisters, at least, not now!" Misty gulped, shuddering.

Ash sweatdropped, "We probably won't even see them...we're only going to the power plant..."

"Yeah, I knew that!" Misty said, laughing nervously, then she cleared her throat.

The lights flickered on and off, and the night was just making it worse. Caroline Maple sighed, as she picked up all the empty plates of the dinner meal, and walked into the kitchen slowly. When she got there, she put the plates in the dishwasher.

SHATTER!

"DAMMIT!"

All the people still in the dining room blinked twice, and sweatdropped.

"So let's head there tomorrow, okay, May?" Brendan asked.

May gave him a thumbs-up and winked, "Yep!"

---In May's Room---

"Crap...where did my sleeping bag go?!" Brendan asked himself, searching around the room frantically.

May yawned, "You sure you didn't misplace it?"

"YES! Ack...it's gone for sure now..." Brendan sobbed.

---Outside the room---

Snickering slightly were, of course, Max, Misty, and Ash.

"Plan's going perfectly!" Misty whispered, high-fiving Ash quietly.

---Back in May's room---

May said sleepily, "Fine, this is the first and last time, but I'll let you sleep with me tonight..." (A/N: Don't worry...nothing's going to go on, you hentais!! It's sleeping in the same bed, dammit...)

"Oh thankyou, thankyou!" Brendan said quickly, and without thinking and as if by reflex, he pecked May on the cheek.

May blushed, and quickly was awake.

"O-okay...y-you'r-re w-welc-come..." she stuttered, tucking herself into bed.

She turned away to hide her blush, as Brendan stared at her backside confused. Then it hit him in the face.

"Still, thank you." he said, tucking himself into the bed as well. (A/N: Dammit, just 'cause they're sharing a blanket don't mean their doing "anything!" --U Hentais...)

Flicker...flicker...zzza--

---Outside the room---

"W-what just happened?" Misty asked, afraid.

Right now, she was 'glomping' Ash.

Ash comforted, "Don't worry so much, Mist..."

---The Next Day, On the Magnet , look at them! Maybe someday we'll be like that!" said a little girl, pointing at Brendan and May.

A little boy replied, "Jeez Liro, we're just friends!"

Brendan and May blushed a little bit, then the Magnet Train squealed to a harsh stop, making many people trample on others.

"We have now arrived in Saffron City." the PA said, and as the people got up, the giant crowd started going out the egress.

---At the Cerulean City Power Plant---

As the duo entered the power plant, a person near the generator looked cautiously at one area of it.

Creeeeeeakkk...creeeeak...BANG!

Then came a flurry of some very creative swearing, as both Brendan and May sweatdropped.

"Nooo...not my beautiful generator!" shouted the director, sobbing.

"Umm...sir...can we be of assistance?" May asked.

"Oh thank you! Yes, yes!" the director exclaimed. "Tut, tut, come along, children!"

---After a few hours---

"Yes! My beautiful generator is fixed!" the director exclaimed, thanking Brendan and May.

"Glad to help, sir. We will leave now..."

---Back at the Maple house---

"YES! THE POWER'S BACK ON!" exclaimed Max, who danced a little jig, attracting attention from the people there. "What?"

---In a few mintues---

"We're back..." May said dully, as the duo entered the Maple house.

Brendan sighed, "Yes...yes we are..."

"Oh, and May, isn't your birthday tomorrow?" Max asked, looking up at his older sister.

May replied through gritted teeth, "Yes."

She knew she would be turning 15 tomorrow, and that was just getting closer to being an adult. She sighed, as she ascended up the stairs to her room to seek solitude.

.....-End Chapter-.....

A/N: Okay...I was getting hella bored, and this is the result. -sighs- Okay, so the next chapter will be separated into two parts, just 'cause I wanna.

Fiery: Get to the point already, woman!

Alright...Review please...

Fiery: And remember, flames are fed to moi. -nods-
