Hey everyone! Thanks for all the reviews! I would have loved to get just one more review but hey you don't always get what you wish for. I'm not good at battle scenes so don't expect any in this chapter although there are supposed to be. Well on with the story.

Disclaimer: As much as I like Pokemon I sadly don't own it...

Chapter 5 - Getting Ready the Girl Way

The next morning I got up, bathed, got dressed and made my way down the stairs into the kitchen where once again Melody was making breakfast. However today she was making omelettes.

"Thanks for breakfast." I said as she handed me a plate and sat down opposite me. "Where are my sisters?" I asked.

"Oh, they left early this morning saying they were going by a friend to get ready for the party. So you know what that means right?"

"Uh...no what?"

"We have the whole day to get you beautiful!"

"Hey! I'm already beautiful!" I shouted in defence.

"Uh...right whatever. Anyway, Duplica is coming here to get ready so that you'll have lots of moral support tonight!"

Moral support? I shrugged off the statement thinking that she meant it seriously and not as a joke. "Right then. I'm off to go clean, you should probably get going too! Those trainers aren't going to wait outside forever!" She said while pointing to the gym entrance.

"Oh crap! You're right!" I said as I finished off the last piece of toast. I went to the gym and, after apologising profusely, I let them in. There were two girls and one boy. The two girls sat on the bleachers while the boy attempted first. In the end, I won all my battles, as usual, however the strange thing was that those were the only trainers that came the entire day! I blamed it on the upcoming party and I went inside the house at four o' clock to get ready, on Melody's order. I thought three hours a bit too much time to get ready but she assured me that I would be begging for more time.

As I got inside, I saw Melody and Duplica on the couch waiting patiently for me. I hadn't even notice when Duplica arrived. I sat down next to them just as they got up. I sighed and struggled to get to my feet again. We all went upstairs, into separate rooms and got dressed. We all put on our costumes and rushed around everywhere to try and find all the accessories we bought the previous day.

When we were done, I ended up in the room Duplica was in and Melody ended up in the room I was in but Duplica somehow found herself in the kitchen. I laughed and made my way to the bathroom to fix my hair.

I walked through the doorway and looked in the mirror. My mom's necklace sure did look good together with the dress. It completed it, or should I say that the dress completed the necklace. Either way it hung beautifully around my neck. I then moved up from the necklace to my face and just then Melody and Duplica walked in and insisted on helping me. Melody did my make-up and Duplica did my hair although I was very capable of doing both these tasks. Duplica put my hair up, then down and couldn't decide what to do with it. She then conversed with 'fashion extrordinaire' Melody. I sighed and turned to face them.

"What are you two doing?" I asked.

"Trying to fix your hair!" They both semi yelled.

"I know that, but I can very well do it myself you know!" I responded.

"Yeah we know that but this night has to be very special for you Misty." Duplica said.

"Why? Why does it have to be special? This is just another party. There'll be many more!"

"But tonight is special because you are taking your first step to independance by defying your step mother." Melody said with stars in her eyes.

"Wow, how did you get that deep of a meaning from this Mel?" I asked.

" I really don't know but sit down and let us finish!" Melody replied.

"Ugh. Fine but don't take too long the party starts in half hour and it'll take us at least twenty minutes to get there."

"Didn't I tell you you'ld be needing more time?" Melody asked slyly.

"I never said I needed more time I said you needed more time because if it were left to me I would have already been done with my hair!" I answered just as slyly.

"Yeah, yeah. Now be quiet and let us finish!" Duplica finished.

Well there's the 5th chapter. I know it's kinda short but I SWEAR the next one will be longer. I've already written it out and it's long! Now leave me a good review and sit on the couch eating cocopuffs until the next chapter comes. (I have no idea where that last sentence came from)

Toodles,
