Chapter 3- An Unexpected Visitor

After washing, cleaning and six battles straight, I sat on the bench outside the gym welcoming the short break. Rose and my sisters had not returned yet so I was happy to have time to myself. As I lazed there I began to think once again of the upcoming party. I had done that several times throughout the day so far and I was always reprimanding myself after. I knew I couldn't go and yet I continued to daydream.

While I was daydreaming I heard a voice behind me say, "Misty what are you staring at?" I froze. I thought it was my stepmother but as I turned I saw none other than my non-blood sister Melody! I was ecstatic and got up and ran and hugged her. She repeated her question and I answered by telling her it was nothing. Suddenly something dawned on me and I asked her what she was doing here. She replied by saying, "Well I came for a visit after I took a break from training."

I looked at her quizzically. I knew her far too well to know that she wouldn't just pack up and come visit. I mean I was happy that she was here it was just very unusual.

Noting my expression she answered, "And, Duplica told me that you were a bit down in the dumps last time she talk to you."

"Oh, Duplica told you huh?"

"Yeah but not everything. So why are you so sad?" she inquired.

"Well when I talked to her a few weeks ago I was angry at my sisters." I replied.

"For what?"

"Well, they figured out my little boyfriend scam and they got on my case and locked me out of the house in the middle of the night and when I tried to get back in they left me outside screaming like a mad woman and all the neighbours got really annoyed."

"Well that's not so bad compared to the shower incident."

"Please don't remind me!" I begged.

"So why are you still angry after all these weeks?"

"Oh no I got over that, now I'm sad because I'm not going to the Pokemon master's party." I said while showing her the invitation.

She read it through and then commented, "But this asks for the gym leader. You're supposed to go."

"I know but they're posing as the gym leaders and taking Rose along. I swear if I was going you would be my guest."

"Thanks but no thanks."

"Huh? Why not, wouldn't you have wanted to go?"

"Of course but I already got an invite." She replied grinning.

"But how? You're not a gym leader or anything."

"Yeah, but I'm friends with mister Pokemon master. I met him on his journey and we battled. He's really good I think he can even beat you. Well anyway I got a personal invite as one of his friends. Oh and that's also a reason why I came by, I need a place to stay during the party."

"Oh sure, no problem you're welcome here anytime!" I replied.

"Thanks Mist."

I led her inside to her room. She got settled and we continued catching up in the kitchen while preparing dinner.

After we ate, my sisters had finally come home and were complaining that there was nothing in the mall to their liking. I sighed as I remembered my sisters' vanity.

Rose then walked in and stared blankly at Melody. Rose had never really liked Melody but only tolerated her because she didn't want to go to jail for murder. They glared at each other and when I couldn't take it anymore I grabbed Melody's arm, led her into my bedroom and 'flung' her on the bed.

"What are you trying to do? Give me more work to do?!" I asked.

"No I was just coaxing her." She replied coolly.

I sighed and we sat on the bed. She then said, "Did I tell you Duplica's going to the party too?"

"Whaa?" I asked once again perplexed.

"Well, you know her boyfriend Todd right? Well he's friends with Ash too."

"Okay so every one of my friends knows Ash Ketchum personally except me?" I asked rhetorically.

"Yeah basically." She said smiling.

A bit shocked at getting a reply I then asked, "So who else is going that I know?"

"Well remember that May Maple girl I introduced you to last year?" I nodded "Well she's going, I hear, as his girlfriend." She continued. I lay on my back and sighed.

"What's wrong?" She asked, concern obvious in her voice.

"It's nothing. Just that...well all of my friends are going to this party and I'm stuck here." I said.

"WHAT! Are you kidding me? Of course you're going! You'll be going as my guest."

I smiled at her appreciatively and thanked her. Ten minutes later Melody went to her room and I lay on my bed for the second night in a row, thinking about the party for the thousandth time that day and slowly drifted into a pleasant dreamless sleep.

Okay so did you like it? Please review I tried my best to not have any spelling or grammar mistakes so if I do please tell me and I'll try to fix it next time. Just one note before I go I have decided to change the party to a costume party cause if it was a regular party surely her sisters would recognize her. So there you have it. Later people!
