KawaiiGameFreak: Now before I go on I'd like to explain some things. Most of you have probably figured out the triangle (you'd kinda have to be an idiot not to), so this chapter is mostly going to be fluff between me and corner number two (HINT HINT). As I mentioned before, this is just part one, part two will mostly me romance, this will mostly be humor. I was going to scrap this chapter, but I thought the poor guy could use some love. I'll reply to reviews for chapter 12 and this one in chapter 13 (since this is chapter 12½). I may change the genre from humor/general to humor/romance, so be warned. Thank you and ja ne.
Chapter 12½: Have You Ever Flown Before?
MEWTWO'S POV
I still can't believe it! I gave her flowers, I gave her chocolates, I wrote her a card, and yet she still runs off with that…fairy boy! I know it seems odd, even, unnatural for me to think like this, but, I'm not exactly natural, now am I? I don't know why I feel this way about her. It's certainly not a physical attraction, but more of a, mental attraction, I see her soul like no one else can. Though she only lets people see the slightly insane side of her, I can see the romantic, compassionate side which she keeps concealed. But I always seem to act the opposite of how I feel, and when ever she's around, I act like an idiot (need I remind you of the "turkey in the lawnmower" incident)! And the worst part about it is that she already with that annoying, brain dead, dress wearing, elf eared, pain in the tail that is Young Link. He's four years younger for Mew's sake! Well I can't say much, she's 14 and I'm…not even sure. Maybe if I didn't act like such a loner, she'd…I'd rather not say the word. Suddenly I heard a voice from inside. "Isn't everyone asleep?"
LAURA'S POV
"Stupid snoring, stupid Peach, stupid alarm clock, why can't I sleep?" I'd woken up about two o'clock in the morning and couldn't get back to sleep. "Maybe I'm hungry." I walked into the kitchen and peeked in the fridge. "Orange juice…cola…ice tea…three week old pizza…leftover chicken burgers..." As I fiddled though the fridge, I happened to look out the kitchen window. MT was just sitting on the deck railing staring off into space. "…weirdo…wonder what he's doing."
MEWTWO'S POV
"Whatcha doing up so late?" I glanced over to the sliding glass door that separated the house from the deck. Standing in the doorway, wearing bright red pajamas and looking very tired, was her.
"Nothing of importance, may I ask why you are up so late?"
"Couldn't sleep. Everyone was making too much noise."
"Welcome to my life."
"Haha…very funny, do I really make that much noise?" She asked, acting innocent.
"Yes."
"Oh…well sorry 'bout that."
"Why are you apologizing? I thought you enjoyed waking me up at five in the morning just for the fun of it."
"Well actually, I love doing that, but I think I'll stop. If I have to get up at five just to wake you up at five, forget it!"
"I think that's a good idea."
"By the way…I gotta ask ya somethin'."
"What?"
"I got this note from YL, read it." She handed me a tattered piece of paper.
"And you just happened to have this in your pocket?" The note read:
Dear Laura,
Your the awsome-est person ever. I don't kno why you'd think otherwise. There's a wicked movie playing on saturday so maybe you'd like too come. You're BF
Young Link
"So…"
"Did you notice all the spelling and grammar errors? Not to mention it wasn't very poetic and the handwriting is barely legible. The point is, the note I got on Valentines Day, wasn't from YL! It was from someone else, so I just tryin' to figure out who, in fact, sent me that note."
"Well who do you have in mind?" I tried to act like I didn't know a thing about the matter, but it was hard trying to hide it. I was dying to scream "I sent the note! Me me ME!"
"Hmmm, you seem nervous."
"Why on this planet would I be nervous? You were saying?" Maybe she's figured it out and just playing around.
"As I was saying, I got no sweet clue, zip, zilch, squat, nothing. Hey…maybe you can help me find out!"
"Why are you asking me? Why not your friends?"
"They would blow it way out of proportion, same with my online friends and the girls, and before you suggest asking Ness to read the guys' minds, don't. I don't trust that guy."
"You trust me?" Not very many people trust me. Who would trust a power hungry, egotistic, psycho cat with super powers? Not to mention that she seems to know enough about me to not trust me.
"I guess so…is that a bad thing?"
"Of course not."
"Ya well…good night, I mean, morning, I mean…never mind." She was about to walk back inside.
"Wait!" She turned around.
"What?" Oh no, I don't know what to say! Wait a minute…maybe I could…good idea! I can't force her to do anything, but I can nudge her in the right direction.
"…have you ever flown before?" She gave me a questioning look.
"What?"
"Have you ever flown before?"
"Ya, from here to Florida and back two years ago on vacation."
"Not on a plane, actually soaring through the clouds."
"Do I look like I have wings to you?"
"No…but would you like to fly?"
"…ooook then…I'll bite, sure."
"Hold on a second…"
LAURA'S POV
This turned out to be one awkward conversation. It started with "Whatcha doing up so late?" and ended with "Would you like to fly?". I knew he was different, but now I'm pretty sure he's insane. I still wonder why he was blushing after I'd gotten that note from I-don't-know-who. Then he ran off yelling about turkeys and lawnmowers! Most people only blush when they get embarrassed, so what would make him feel embarrassed? Maybe…nah…that would be three things: bizarre, strange and slightly screwed up. Suddenly, I felt myself lifting off the deck. Around me was a blue-ish glow, almost like blue flames. I was about six feet off the deck before I realized what was happening. "Are you sure this is safe?"
MEWTWO'S POV
"Perfectly sure." I stopped pulling her up after a bit.
"Hey! This is pretty cool." She started doing back flips in midair, zipping back and forth, and basically acting like she was born with wings. I floated next to her.
"Ever been above the clouds? Besides on a plane."
"No."
"Well follow me." I flew straight up with Laura following behind. The sky was coated in clouds, almost like a storm was coming. Otherwise, it was the perfect night.
LAURA'S POV
This felt so awesome! This feeling was so familiar and yet so new. I looked down. We were high enough to see the entire town, which looked like an ant colony. I gazed up at the ceiling of clouds above us. "Close your eyes."
"Why?"
"You'll see."
MEWTWO'S POV
I grabbed her hand as we advanced. We broke through the clouds. The sky was pure and coated with stars and the full moon shone bright. "Open your eyes." She did as was told.
"…Woh, this is so…so…beautiful." I could tell she was spellbound, "Um…why are you holding my hand?"
"Um…" I quickly let go of her hand, "Hehe…"
"Why are you blushing? And don't run off yelling about turkeys and lawnmowers this time." I had a funny feeling that this wasn't going to end well. "Wait a second…I get it…" She said smugly. "…first acting nervous when I mentioned the note, then holding my hand, and now th…oh my…oh my god…OH MY DEAR FLIPPIN' GOD!" She burst out laughing, "You like me, don't you? Oh my god, I've been in some screwed up situations, but this takes the cake!" She tried to contain herself, but even I have to admit, the whole ordeal was rather, funny, not funny haha, funny strange. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry…I didn't mean…it's just…well…awkward. Look, you're a nice guy and all, but two things are wrong here; one, I'm taken, and two, well that one's kinda obvious." She had a point. "Hey don't go worrin' I won't tell anyone, kk?"
"…ok."
"We better be heading back."
"Not just yet."
LAURA'S POV
All of a sudden, music started playing from nowhere. "What the? Where's that music coming from?"
"You know how some physics can project pictures using thought?"
"Ya…"
"Well some can play sounds that they've heard, almost like a tape recorder."
"Wait…I love this song! But…how'd you…?"
"Everyone can hear your CD player, I just happened to catch that song."
MEWTWO'S POV
"Would you care to dance?" I held out my hand.
"Um…ok, sure." She took my hand as the lyrics came in. "You had this whole thing planned out, didn't you?" I actually did, but I'm not telling her that.
Since, the moment I spotted you,
Like walkin' 'round with little wings on my shoes,
My stomach's filled with butterflies,
Oh, and it's alright
Bouncin' 'round from cloud to cloud,
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down,
If I said I didn't like it then you know I lied
"So um…why do you like me?"
"It's hard to explain." In fact, it was near impossible to describe why I felt this way around her. The clouds were our dance floor; the moon was our spotlight, and the arms of an angel were rapped around me.
Every time I try to talk to you,
I get tongue-tied, it turns out,
That everything I say to you,
Comes out wrong, it never comes out right, so I'll say
Why don't you and I get together, and take on the world and be together forever,
Heads we will, tails we'll try again, so I'll say
Why don't you and I hold each other, and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven,
Cuz without you, they're never gonna let me in
As much as I loved this moment, I knew it could never be. She knew I liked her, and even tough I knew her feelings for me weren't likewise, maybe, someday, they would be.
When's this fever gonna break,
I think I've handled more then any man can take,
I'm like a love-sick puppy chasin' you around,
Oh, and it's alright
Bouncin' 'round from cloud to cloud,
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down,
If I said I didn't like it then you know I lied,
I wasn't used to these emotions. They were like heaven and hell rolled into one. I usually tried to hide them, but eventually you have to show how you feel.

Why don't you and I get together, and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven,
Cuz without you they're never gonna let me in
Slowly I begin to realize, this is never gonna end,
But about the same time you walk by and I say, oh here we go again,
Oh
I enjoyed this feeling. Holding her close under the stars, not caring how late in the night it is, just being happy to be near her. I'm not quite sure what this feeling is, but I think it's called, love.

As the song's chorus repeated and started fading, I teleported us to her room. "Are you ok? You look sad."
"I'm not sad, I'm just..."
"Aw, it's ok," She leaned forward and kissed me on the cheek. "You're a pretty nice guy, in fact, if I wasn't…never mind." Maybe she did feel the same, maybe there is a light at the end of this tunnel. "That was an awesome night." But, even if she did share my feelings, it would be best if she didn't know.
"Actually, this was all a dream."
"A dream? But…it felt so real, and…why would I dream about you?"
"Why don't you ask your heart?" I snapped my fingers and she calmly fell into bed. I rearranged her memory so that she thought that she never woke up and that the whole thing was a dream. I hated doing this, but it had to be done. After all, mini-Link hated me enough as it was.
THE NEXT MORNING
LAURA'S POV
For some odd reason, I felt like I hadn't gotten much sleep, but I went to bed at about 11:30 like I usually do. I walked in the kitchen to the smell of bacon and eggs. "Morning Laura."
"Morning YL."
"Sleep well?"
"Ya, but I had this really weird dream…"
KawaiiGameFreak:…um…what can I say about this…? Hope you liked it. Don't worry; this should be the last romance-y chapter until part 2. ENJOY THE REST OF THE FIC! (P.S: MY CAPS IS BROKEN, CAN SOMEONE FIX IT PLEASE?)
