TAKAMARU.
It was Halloween night, and thousands of students at the Hoenn Pokémon Academy came to the school for the Trick or Treat, Halloween dance, hosted by Anderson Myan, the student council president. Students and teachers dressed up in Halloween costumes, not only because of the holiday, but because it was a requirement for the dance too.
The music was loud, and the night was just getting started. Takamaru and Dakota walk into the school's gym, where Halloween dance was being held. The gym was all decorated with various Halloween themed stuff. To add to the spirit of the holiday, there was a fog machine, and the lights where dim down a lot, only to let a green light fill the air.
Dakota was dressed up as Tulip from Infinity Train and Takamaru was dressed up as Finn from Adventure Time. Dakota and Takamaru where holding hands. Dakota mostly wanted to just hold hands with him, so she can make Grace jealous.
Takamaru looks at Dakota. He thought that she was pretty. "You look really good tonight." He complimented.
"Thanks." Dakota replied.
There was some awkwardness in the air, between the two of them. But that was to be expected, because they didn't know eachother that much. While they were walking, Grace and Dakota walk up to them. Grace was dressed up as Elsa from Frozen and Quinten was dressed up as Hans from Frozen. Grace was happy to see her friend and Dakota was too. "Hey Sista!" The two girls hug eachother, while Quinten and Takamaru where left there speechless.
"What's up man, how are you doin'?" Quinten asked. Quinten wanted to give Takamaru a handshake, but Quinten could tell that Takamaru wasn't for it. Takamaru just gave him a blank stare, which made him get the message. "I guess you aren't the greeting type."
"You finally figured that out." Takamaru shrugged.
"I guess so..." Quinten replied.
"What are we doing standing here? Let's get going." Grace grabs her boyfriend Quinten by the hand, and she walks away swimmingly. Grace was so blinded by her love for Quinten, that she couldn't see anything that was going on around her, which made her completely blinded.
Dakota looks at Grace and Quinten who were dancing with eachother. Dakota was super jealous to see the two dancing with one another, because she had a major crush on Grace. But it wasn't just a crush. She was practically in love with Grace and wanted to end the dancing that was going on between them.
She even hated the fact that the two of them were dressed up wearing the same costume. Grace was dressed up as Elsa and Quinten were dressed up as Kristoff. She glared looking at the two of them together. "I can't stand seeing them with each other." She said while she was dressed up as Tulip from infinity Train.

CHROMA.
Chroma Looked into the mirror that evening. He was finishing up his costume of dressing up as Luke Skywalker from the Star Wars movies, for the up and coming Halloween dance, that was going on at the school in a couple of hours. He was happy to be going since he was back together with his ex-girlfriend Misaki Akane. "Whelp, I'm all ready. My DETERMINATION is going to get me lucky tonight." Chroma laughs. "Determination? What kind of person constantly says that."
Chroma shrugs off the dirt on the black blazer that he was wearing. Chroma thought that he looked pretty good. His partner Pokémon Dusky was sleeping on the bed, and Chroma did a spin in the mirror. "Damn, I have a nice body." Chroma winked.
Lusamine walks into the room. Lusamine was Chroma's auntie, who wasn't all that younger than him. She was in her 40s, while Chroma was still a teenager. Lusamine who was a tall blonde-haired woman with large hair was holding her smartphone in her hand, wanting to take pictures of her nephew. "Aww, look at you. Aren't you a handsome little devil."
Chroma blushed. "Auntie don't embarrass me…"
"I'm not going to embarrass you, you little chicken nugget." Lusamine grabs Chroma by the cheek and starts pinching it. Lusamine begins taking pictures of Chroma, and it caused Chroma to blush more and more.
"Are you taking that Misaki girl with you to the dance?"
"Yes. I love her, and I'm glad that we're back together." Chroma explained.
But Lusamine wasn't having it. She didn't really like Misaki and didn't think that she was good enough for her nephew. "I still don't see why you like dating that girl. She's a bitchy ice queen, who wants to be an Elsa rip off and she likes making things up for attention."
Chroma didn't like that one bit and his eyes started to turn red. He turned to his auntie and glared at her. "Misaki and her family have gone through a lot. Their father used to abuse them. The least you can do is show some sort of compassion." Chroma stormed off in anger.
ROSS.
Ross rushed out of the police station after finding out that information about Ash. Ross was on hunt, and his prey was going to find Ash. Audino chased after him, as she too walked out of the police station, wondering where Ross was going. "Audino, no, no?" Audino said. Audino asked Ross where he was going.
"I'm going to go find Ketchum and have him explain to me where my sister is," Ross explained. He did the polite thing like Audino taught him and turned around to look at the normal type Pokémon who was talking to him.
"Audino, no, no," Audino explained to Ross that; that could be dangerous, and that he should be careful.
"I will be careful. Trust me." Ross replied. Ross turns around and starts walking away.
TAKAMARU.
Takamaru was starting to get bored. Both him and Dakota were just sitting down in their chairs, while Dakota was looking at Quinten and Grace, who were slow dancing, while slow dancing music was playing. The jealous girl, couldn't believe that the two of them were still dancing with each other, and wanted it to end. Dakota folded her arms together, while she glared at them.
"Just look at them, acting all happy. It disgusts me." Dakota takes a sip of drink. She was so invested with what was going on with Quinten and Grace, that she was completely ignoring Takamaru in the process.
"Yeah…all happy…" Takamaru replied. Takamaru was starting to get bored. But he still wanted to have fun with Dakota. Takamaru turns to look at Dakota. Just looking at the girl, reminded him of his mother. They acted so much alike and even looked like each other. "Dakota can I tell you something."
"What is it?" Dakota asked.
"I want to tell you…you remind me of my mother…and…and…" Takamaru started. He was getting a little flustered and swallowed his spit. "Dakota, I like- "
Dakota crushes her cup when she sees Quentin and Grace kiss each other on the lips. That made her angry. Ignoring Takamaru and get up out of her seat. "How dare she kiss him." She walks off, leaving Takamaru alone.
"I like you…" He finally finished. But he was disappointed that she left.
ROSS.
Ross decided to go to Ash's house. He figured that since it was Halloween night, that Ash would probably be at home. He went to Ash's girlfriend Serena's house first, but Serena's mother Grace told the boy that she wasn't there. Ross walks up the steps and knocks on the door. The door opens, and Delia Ketchum appears on the other side, she had brown hair and standing next to her was her partner Pokémon, Mr. Mime.
Mr. Mime was holding a big bowl of candy and had a happy smile on his face. "Mime, mime."
Delia smiled when she saw Ross. "Oh hello. Are you out trick or treating?" She asked, assuming that Ross was a trick or treater. Ross did look young, and he could pull off the look of being someone who wasn't a pre-teen.
"No, ma'am," Ross replied. Delia made Ross blush a little bit, because of her coddling. "I'm actually here looking for your son."
"Oh. He's not here. He's at the school dance."
Ross sighed. He was disappointed that he didn't see his sister there, and it made him a little angry. "Thank you for your help ma'am." Ross turns around and walks away. He knew that the next place to go to would be the school dance, we hoped that he didn't have to go to.
Delia watched Ross until he walked back to his car. Delia then closes the door and turns around. She looks at Ash who walks up to Delia, holding Natalie in his hands. Natalie had been crying because she really wanted Ross and missed him. She glared angrily at Ross. "Shut that fucking baby up. It's getting on my nerves."
"But it won't stop crying," Ash said. Ash didn't want to be apart of the plan that his mother had, but he couldn't say no to his mother, so that was why he was apart of the plan in the first place. "I've tried everything," Ash explained.
"Give it here." Delia grabs the baby and slaps Natalie in the face. "Shut up!" Delia shouted. But it didn't stop Natalie from crying. In fact, it made it even worse. "No one is going to want a baby who keeps on crying."
"Well then maybe we shouldn't steal it…?" Ash suggested while shrugging his shoulders.
Delia glares at Ash. "How many times have I told you not to talk back to your mother like that." Delia grabs Ash by the hand, putting her full force, grabbing onto his arm, which harmed the boy.
"You're hurting me…" Ash cried.
"I don't give a damn," Delia shouted. "Now, I need you to go to the school dance. That boy thinks that you might be there, and since we don't want to have our cover blown, we have to do this." She explained to the boy hoping that he would go along with it.
But Ash didn't know if it would be a good idea, and he turned around and looked to the right. "I don't know if that's a good idea…"
Delia glared at him once more, which scared the boy and caused him to shiver. "Yes, mom…I'll do it," Ash replied. He feared his mom. He hated living with her, and the environment that she was raising him up in. But he didn't want to do or say anything about it to anyone because he was afraid of what would happen.
"That's a good boy." Delia rubs Ash on his head.
ROSS.
Ross walked into the auditorium where the Halloween dance was being held at. He was dressed up as a Michael Jackson since it was still Halloween after all. He was on the lookout for Ash Ketchum. He wanted to find Natalie and was going to do whatever it takes to find her. He had a feeling that Ash might be here, so he decided to try and look for his friends.
Ross sees Serena, Red, and Leaf. Red, Serena, and Leaf where some of Ash's friend and Serena was Ash's girlfriend, he walked over towards them, hoping that they would know where Ash was. "Excuse me. Have you seen Ash."
"No." Red shrugged. "Why are you looking for him?" She asked, wanting to know why Ross was looking for his friend. Red was very overprotective of Ash. He even thought of him as a brother in some ways.
"I have a feeling that he may have something precious of mine," Ross replied. He didn't want to give it away that Ash took Natalie because he didn't want them to be alarmed. While Ross was standing their Ash walks up to them. Ash was dressed up as Kenny the Shark, Serena was dressed up as Spider-Gwen, Leaf was dressed up as Batwoman and Red was dressed up as Batman.
"Is someone looking for me?" Ash asked. He had no idea what was going on, but he did hear that Ross was looking for him.
Ross was pissed when he saw Ash. Knowing what Ash did to his sister, he let his anger get the best of him and he walks up towards Ash and grabs him by the shirt aggressively. "What did you do with my sister?"
"I don't know what you're talking about." Ash lied. He knew exactly what the boy was talking about. But he didn't want to admit that to him.
"Yo get off him." Ash pushes Red to the ground.
Ross quickly gets up. He didn't feel intimidated by his fellow classmate. In fact, it made Ross stronger and want to find out more answers. "I know you have my sister, and I'm going to find out where you're hiding her." Ross walks away in anger, but that just left Ash standing there feeling guilty and made his friends confused about what was going on between him and Ross because they had node idea.
Red turns to Ash. "What was that about?" Red asked, wanting to learn more about what was going on.
"I don't know, I think he's crazy." Ash shrugged.
MISAKI.
Misaki who was dressed up as Princess Leia was all dressed up and ready to go. Just like her girlfriend, she too was also looking into the mirror. Misaki was holding her bag of PCP in her hand and she popped one of her pills, to make her more energized. She quickly puts the bag in her pocket, as her brother walked into the room.
"I see you're going to that stupid Halloween dance." Hitoshi insulted. "I didn't think that you were the type to do social events." He folded his arms together.
"I want to try new things. Besides, I'm doing it for my boyfriend. That's something that I don't think that you would know about." She replied. They both laughed. Misaki began thinking and felt like the way she had been acting towards him, was very wrong. "Hey, I'm sorry for acting the way I did. I've been very rude, and you know how much I love you, bro." She said while she was holding onto her crunches.
"I know, and we've both been through a lot recently. I can tell you where just letting out some steam." He replied. Hitoshi and Misaki hug each other. Despite all the problems and everything that had gone on between them, you could tell that they still love each other.
"Loser, your date is here!" Misaki's older sister Jina playful teased while she was in the living room.
"I'm coming!" Misaki replied. Misaki walked out of the room and began walking down the steps of her house. She saw Chroma, and Chroma saw her. When Chroma looked at Misaki, he was amazed by how beautiful she looked while walking down the stairs.
"You look stunning…" Chroma complimented.
Hearing Chroma's compliment, made Jina angry. She glared at Chroma while taking out her pocket knife. She was a very overprotective sister and was going to protect her sister no matter what the cost was. "You hurt my sister, and I'll hurt you."
"Okay, okay, okay…I won't hurt her…or lay a finger on her."
"Jina, you're embarrassing me." Misaki pushes her sister away and looks at her boyfriend. Misaki was blushing, but since she was a fierce and strong woman, she wasn't going to be, weak and helpless. "Ignore my sister." She said. "Let's go." She aggressively grabs Chroma by the hand and the two of them leave out of Misaki's house and were now outside.
DAKOTA.
Quinten and Grace were all hugged up on each other during the slow dance while looking into each other's eyes. The love between the two of them was super strong and you could tell that they really cared for each other. Quinten and Grace where both blushing at each other, and it felt like they were the only two people in the world. "I'm sorry for breaking up with you the way I did. I made a silly mistake."
"No," Grace replied. "I'm the one who made the silly mistake. I know that I can be a bit of a mess, but I'm the one who ruined our previous relationship." Grace admitted. That was something that took for her a lot to do and say. Grace had really matured since the first time both had dated each other.
"Let's forget about that. Let's just focus on now." Quinten said.
"Okay. We wouldn't want to ruin this moment." Grace replied. Quinten and Grace were getting ready to go in for a kiss, but they were quickly interrupted by a jealous Dakota, who startled the two of them to scream a little, while also getting angry.
"Hey, guys, what are you doing?"
Grace turns around and glares at her friend. "We were in the middle of a moment," Grace replied.
"Cool," Dakota said. "What kind of moment, where you in the middle of?" She asked. Dakota knew what was going on, but she was trying to play dumb to make herself look a little more innocent.
"Dakota, don't you have a date or something?" Quinten asked. He was really enjoying his alone time with his girlfriend. But Dakota trying to, but it was really ruining that.
"Oh, Takamaru? He's just a random person, who I hardly know." Dakota blushed. "I wanna spend time with the both of you. You two are my best friends after all." Dakota walks up to her friends and hugs them, but they weren't enjoying this one bit.
"Yay…" A disappointed Quinten and Grace both sighed.
ROSS.
After his encounter with Ash and his friends, Ross has decided to go and get something to drink. Ross pours some punch into his red cup, and he stares at Ash and his friends, who were all standing together in a circle. Ross' anger was getting so bad, that he crushed his cup a little bit. "Where did you hide my sister?"
"You're sister?" Josh asked. Josh walked over towards the boy. Josh was dressed up as Spider-Man. He dressed up as Spider-Man because that was one of his favorite superheroes, and he liked comic book. "What happened to her."
Ross looked down. Josh being here wasn't making his anger getting better. In fact, it was making it even worse. "What do you want? I don't want to talk to you." Ross begins walking away, but that wasn't until Josh grabs Ross by the arm.
"Look. I know that you're angry at me. But how long is this going to go on? It's been about a month since I stole from you. I've apologized multiple times, and I don't know what else to do." Josh begged. Ross turned around. He thought that he should at least hear the boy out, instead of trying to shut him down.
Ross thought that his apology was well thought-out and decided to give him another chance. "Look, you want to help me out. Help me try and find my sister."
"You're sister? Isn't she at home with Audino?" The confused Josh asked. He and Ross hadn't had a decent conversation in so long, that he was so out of the loop when it came to what was going on with his friend.
"She was kidnapped, and Ash did it," Ross revealed.
"Wait…Ash?" A surprised Josh asked. "How do you know Ketchum did it?"
"The Police explained it to me, and of course Ash isn't going to confess. That is why, we must follow him, and watch him." Ross demanded.
Hearing that Ross wanted him to help him out, made Josh happy. "So, are you saying that we're friends again?"
"Don't count your horses to fast." Ross shrugged. Ross wasn't ready to forgive Josh just yet. But he was willing to work with him, to help find Natalie. Ross just needed a friend, and someone to talk to. Because besides Audino, Josh was the only person he could talk to. Both Ross and Josh look at Ash and his friends, while they were still standing there.
MISAKI.
Chroma and Misaki got out of the car, as Chroma's car was parked in the parking lot. Misaki's eyes were glossy red and she took her shoes off because she felt more comfortable. "I feel like I'm walking on air." The intoxicated girl did a spin, which left Chroma very confused as to why she was acting like this.
"Is everything okay?" Chroma asked, wanting to know what was going on with the girl who was standing right there. Chroma grabbed his girlfriend, wanting her to calm down. But she couldn't stand still and was wobbling everywhere.
"I'm fine." She said. She pushed Chroma off of her and did another spin. "Do you see a Dragonite right there?" She pointed. In her mind, she saw the dragon type Pokémon flying in front of her.
But as Chroma was standing there he didn't see anything and just saw the stars in the sky, which made him even more confused. "I don't see anything…" Chroma started. Chroma looked down at his girlfriend and noticed that her eyes were glossy red, and at that moment he could tell that she was high. "Are you high right now?"
"NO…. yes…maybe…" She laughed.
"Misaki!"
"What Chroma?" Misaki asked. "You're not my fucking parent, so you can't tell me what the fuck to do." Misaki started laughing and began walking. "Now, let's go. I don't want to be the loser who goes dancing alone."
"Hey…" Cole felt insulted as both he and Khu where standing right there. Cole was dressed up as the Pillsbury Dough Boy and Khu was dressed up as All Might from My Hero Academia. "That was insulting…" Cole said.
"Don't worry about it." Khu shrugged. He patted his friend on the back, to reassure him that everything was going to be alright. While the two boys were standing there, the loud music from the dance could be heard all the way outside.
HITOSHI.
Hitoshi was in Misaki's room. Something had been bothering him for a while and wanted to check his sister's room to see if everything was all right about her. He was checking her pillows, looking under her bed and even looking through her clothes and closet. He was looking through everything, wanting to find some sort of evidence for the suspension that he had. "It had to be here…." He said.
"What are you doing in her room?" Jina asked, walking up towards her brother with a more stern and serious look on her face.
"I'm trying to see if she has any drugs in her room. I feel like she's on something. Something is not right with her, and I feel like I'm the only person who sees this."
"Well if you think that something is going on with her, why don't you go to the dance?" She shrugged. She didn't think that anything was going on with her sister, because she didn't notice anything wrong. But she thought that giving her brother advice would be the best thing to do.
"I don't know…" Hitoshi thought. "I'm not really a social gathering type of person and dances, well there too mainstream for me." But the more he thought about not going, the more worried he got about his sister, and it made him want to go more. "You know what…I'm going. I need to find out what is wrong with my sister." Hitoshi turns around and begins walking. He kisses his sister on the cheek first, before he left. "Where is my Naruto costume?"
"In you're room. I had a feeling that you would want to go." Jina shrugged.
TAKAMARU.
Takamaru was trying to figure out what was going on with Quinten, Grace, and Dakota while he was standing there on the sidelines. It was hard for him to analyze it because he was standing so far away from where they were. "What are they up too?"
Anderson walks over towards Takamaru. Anderson was dressed up as Divine, one of his favorite drag queens and someone that he admitted. "What's glum chum?" He asked. "Having a fun time with Dakota?"
Takamaru was a little reluctant to talk to him, but he wanted to talk to her and try to figure out what was going on with her. But it was hard for him to do that because she was obviously super busy and preoccupied with someone else. "She seems completely engulfed with someone else. Why should I care?"
"Well…she is into girls after all. She wouldn't be into you." Anderson takes a bite of the cracker that was on the plate that he was holding. While the two boys were talking, they were talking loudly because the music was getting louder and louder.
"I think I can change that."
"You think you can make her straight?"
"Maybe," Takamaru replied. "Isn't sexuality fluid after all? That's what people claim all over the internet."
"I don't think it works like that…" Anderson shrugged. Anderson sighed. "Just move on, there are better and more intelligent girls out there. Why are you so fixated on Dakota?"
"Because" Takamaru replied. "It's none of your business…but she reminds me of my mother."
"Well, I don't mean to rain on your parade, but Dakota isn't your mother. Don't project someone else onto someone else, because it's only going to cause problems." Anderson explained to the loner boy, but Takamaru wasn't worried about that. He had a crush on Dakota and was going to convince the girl to go out with him.
Takamaru smelt a funny smell, and he could tell that it was coming from Anderson. "Dude, you smell like smoke."
"And with that is my queue to go…." Anderson awkwardly walked away, not wanting people to know that he was a smoker.
MISAKI.
Misaki was holding her boyfriend's hand and the two walked into the cafeteria. There were so many people, and it surprised Misaki. Misaki didn't want to waste any time and just wanted to have some fun. "Come on Chroma! Let's do this!"
"I don't know Misaki…" Chroma said. Chroma was starting to get cold feet. Now that he knew that Misaki was high, he didn't want her to embarrass herself. "You're high on drugs…I don't think it's appropriate for us to be here…"
"You're such a pussy." Misaki insulted. "Have some fun. Aren't you the one who's always talking about determination and all that…?" Misaki shrugged off. Despite her being high, she remembers a lot about Chroma and knew that determination was a thing that Chroma would always say.
"Fine." An angry Chroma replied. But he really didn't want to be here with his high girlfriend. Misaki grabs Chroma aggressively, and the two-start dancing on the dance floor.
TAKAMARU.
Dakota was sitting down with Quinten and Grace. Quinten was bored while Dakota and Grace were giggling and laughing while looking at Dakota's smartphone. Grace had gone from paying all her attention to her boyfriend to paying all her attention to her friend and Quinten was not a fan of it at all, while the loud background music got more and more intense.
"Oh my god. I can't believe he did that." Grace chuckled.
"I know right," Dakota replied. Grace and Dakota were laughing at the DMs that Dakota had been getting from guys all over the internet. They found to be extremely hilarious.
Quinten rolls his eyes. "Can we go back to dancing?" Quinten wanted to spend more time with his girlfriend. He didn't want to sit here and be bored. "We were having a fun time until she showed up."
"Hold on babe," Grace replied. She saw a picture that she found funny and she couldn't stop laughing at it. "Oh my god, what is that supposed to be? It looks like a crusty old sausage." Not only did Grace laugh, but Dakota laughed too.
"I'm leaving." Quinten had enough. He got up and left, leaving the two girls, sitting there and giggling. The two girls didn't even notice that he was gone, as they were too busy paying attention to each other.
"What's his deal?" Dakota asked.
"I don't know?" Grace shrugged. "He's Quinten. He's always melodramatic." The girls ignored Quinten and just went back to looking at Dakota's iPhone. While they were doing that Takamaru walks up to Dakota. There was something that he wanted to tell her.
Takamaru has been having a really good time at the dance that night. But he didn't get the thing that he wanted, and that was to spend time with the girl he had a huge crush on. "Dakota, can we talk?" He wanted to have a serious talk with her.
Dakota and Grace just ignored him and continued paying attention to Dakota's smartphone. It was at that moment that he got the message and he walked away. "I guess I'll take the hint." He finally realized that Anderson was right. Dakota was just not that into him.
ASH KETCHUM.
Ash was standing there drinking from out of his couple, while surrounded by his girlfriend, his friend Red and his girlfriend Leaf. Ash was feeling guilty about kidnapping Natalie, but the only reason that he did it, was because his mother told him to do it. Ash took in a deep breath, while Red stared at him, wondering what it was he was doing and if something was going on with him.
"Are you okay, Ash? You seem a little distance…" Red shrugged his shoulders. He got this deep feeling in his gut, that his friend had a lot going on with him.
"I'm fine…" Ash replied. "There's nothing going on with me." Ash wasn't going to tell Red or even his girlfriend what was going on with him, because he knew that Red would be judgmental. Ash's phone started to ring, and he grabbed the phone. He sees that he had gotten a text from his mother, telling him to leave. "I gotta go…" Ash said. Ash turns around and walks away, leaving Red very confused.
"Where are you going?" Red asked.
"He's leaving," Ross said. Ross starting walking, by following Ash. Ross left Josh standing there and leaving him very puzzled about the decision.
"Wait up!" Josh replied. Josh follows Ross.
TAKAMARU.
Takamaru walked over next to Quinten and Anderson who were standing at a table full of food and drinks. Takamaru turned around and stared at Dakota and Grace, just like Anderson and Quinten were doing. "Are they always like this?" Takamaru replied.
"Those two?" Anderson asked. "Of course. Those two are inseparable. Kind of like Bonnie and Clyde." Anderson took another bite of his crackers, while the other two boys stared at the two girls.
Takamaru looked down. He was starting to feel a little jealous. While Quinten could tell that Takamaru had a crush on Dakota and knew that he needed to end that. "Takamaru, you are aware that Dakota is a lesbian right."
"How can she be a lesbian, and date you at the same time?" Takamaru asked. He was a little curious.
"Wow…I take so much offense to that." Anderson who was also gay replied. He found his comment to be a little bit offensive and somewhat homophobic too. "It's possible for a gay person to date a straight person and realize that there gay. Dakota is gay, and she won't change. I know you said that she reminded you of your mom, but that doesn't change the fact that Dakota is never going to date you." Anderson pointed out.
Takamaru shakes his head, realizing that what he was trying to say didn't make any sense at all. "What am I saying? I'm not some homophobic jerk. I just wish that I can talk this out with her, but she seems preoccupied."
MISAKI.
Misaki and Chroma where still dancing, while the intensity of the beat was getting more and more fierce. Misaki was having a fun time and Chroma was too. But Misaki didn't want to stop having a fun time. It was still hard for the girl to dance though since she was still on crutches. It had been about three weeks since the girl had been on crutches, and she was just ready to get off them.
Misaki was swinging her hair back and forth, like a music video that she saw from one of her favorite songs. "This is a fun song isn't it Chroma?" Misaki asked. Misaki was dancing like a maniac while her dancing got more and more aggressive.
Chroma was starting to feel uncomfortable. Even though he was having fun, the fact that his girlfriend had high made him very uneasy. "I think we should go home. You're high and this isn't right…"
"You're so boring, Chroma. Always wanting to play it safe." Misaki replied. She was starting to get heated. She reached into her pocket and pulled out her bag full of pills. "Take on. It will help ease you up."
Chroma thought about taking one of her drugs for a second, but he didn't know if that would be a good idea right now. "I can't…It's not a good idea."
Chroma couldn't handle his girlfriend Misaki anymore. He was getting fed up with his behavior and wanted to leave. Chroma who was dressed up as Luke Skywalker glared at the girl, who was dressed up as Princess Leia. "I can't take this anymore. You are a freak!" Chroma shouted at Misaki causing her to cry.
"I'm a freak!" The angry girl screams. The music stops and everyone at the dance starts to look at her. "Did you hear that guy? I'm a freak! Looks at me, Misaki Akane! The schools biggest freak." She said. Everyone kept on looking at her, even Cole, Khu, Enzo and Miya.
"What's going on with Misaki?" Miya asked.
"I don't know," Enzo asked while he watched.
Misaki screams, with everyone at the dance looking at her. Tears were running down Misaki's eyes as she was heartbroken and wanted the pain to go away.
Misaki walks over towards the table and grabs the bowl full of punch. "Well guess what, if I'm a freak, then I'm going to do something that only freaks do!" The angry girl throws the bowl full of punch on the ground, which caused the bowl to break the juice got everyone, even on some of the people's clothes. Misaki screams again, while everyone was confused about what was going on. She walks out of the cafeteria while bawling her eyes out.
ROSS.
Ross followed Ash and his exact movements while driving in his car. Ross was fifteen and had his learners permit, so it was technically okay for him to drive in a way. Ross wasn't the only person who was in the car though, but Josh was in the car too and he was sitting in the front seat next to Josh. Josh and Ross where watching Ash as he was walking up to the steps of his house which were in Petalburg City.
"He's moving, we should get going," Ross said. Ross took off his seatbelt. He was ready to go on the move-out, but before he could, his confused friend Josh didn't know if this was going to be a good idea going forward.
"I don't know about this…"
Before Ross was about to go, Ross looks at his friend and glares at him. "Josh. Finding my sister is important to me." Ross explained to him. "You're either going to help me or not."
Josh thought about it for a second and knew that finding his sister was an important thing to him. Josh nodded his head and decided that he was going to help his friend out. "Okay. I'll help you."
Ross smiled. He was happy to hear his friend say this. Both Josh and Ross get out of there car and look at Ash's house. Ross had a high confidence that his sister Natalie was going to be in there. Heck, he hoped that she was in there. Ross swallows his spit and both him and Josh begin walking.
Ross and Josh walk up the steps of Ash's house in hopes of finding Ross, sister. Ross knocks on the door. The boys wait for a while. Suddenly Delia opens the door, and Ross glared at her. "Oh, Josh and Ross. I'm so happy to see you." She said. She put on a fake smile because she didn't think that the two of them would be here.
"Where is my sister?" Ross asked. Ross wasn't waiting for anyone or anything. He was getting straight to the point, for everything that happens.
"I have no idea- "She started. But an unapologetic Ross pushed the older woman out of the way. He walked into their house and started looking around. "Natalie, are you here?" Ross asked, looking around the room. He then sees his baby sister crying and assumed that it was Natalie.
"Natalie?" Ross asked. He walked into the living room and saw Ash holding Natalie in his hands while sitting down. Ross couldn't believe that his sister was standing right there. Ross almost wanted to cry. "It's you…"
"What are you doing here?" Ash asked. He quickly got up out of his seat.
"I came here to get my sister," Ross replied.
Delia walks up to Ash and Ross while holding Josh at gunpoint by holding a gun up to his head. Delia had ownership of a gun she bought a while back and felt like she needed it in this situation. "You shouldn't be in my house." An angry Delia replied. "I want both you and your friend to leave," Delia demanded. "Or else I'm going to pull the trigger…"
Josh was scared out of his mind. He started shaking nervously, while sweat was coming down from his fast. Josh didn't care about his life, all he cared about was that his friend Ross and his sister would be alright. "Don't mind me. Just go ahead and take Natalie and leave."
Despite everything that Josh did for him. Ross knew that he couldn't just leave Josh there to die, and he wasn't about to let Delia kill him. "No, I'm not leaving you here."
"But- "
"No. I'm not going to let you die," Ross stated.
Ash was standing there regretting everything that his mother was doing. See the strong bond between Ross and Josh really moved his heart. "Mom, I think you should let Josh go. I know that we have been having financial difficulties lately and that you think selling this baby on the black market is going to bring you happiness. But this isn't the way to do it." Ash explained. Ash was starting to get teary eyed and so was his mother.
Delia started to sniff and whips away her tears while Ash walked up to her, hoping to calm her down. He didn't want her to do anything that she thought she would regret later in life. "Ash, you don't know how hard my life has been. Being raped at 13, having to drop out of school to raise you, not being able to buy you the things that you want. Selling this baby is going to change our lives."
"But I don't want to be rich based off selling another human being. I want to earn it the right way." Ash replied. Ash hands Natalie to Ross and walks over towards his other. "Please mom, let's not do this…."
Ross held his sister in his arms, and the young boy started to cry. Tears were flowing down Ross' eyes. Looking into the eyes of his sister, made his heart melt while she made baby noises. "I'm going to get you out of here. Everything is going to be alright."
Delia thought about it for a second. But the more she saw Ross and Natalie's strong bond, it made Delia angry. She really wanted that money and didn't want Ross to get in the way. "No, you're not taking my money!" Delia shouted while crying. She pulls the trigger and the gun goes off and shocked everyone.
Josh, Delia, and Ash looked, wondering who got shot. Natalie or Ross. They all looked and saw Ross coming from Ross' shirt. But when they looked down they saw a gunshot wound where Natalie's heart was, and blood started to come out.
Natalie had been shot.
Ross looked at Natalie and he started crying. Natalie began crying too. "Natalie, please…please keep it together," Ross begged, but the baby kept on making crying noises.
Delia passed out and the gun fell on the floor. The stress was just too much for the older lady to handle. Josh hurried up and grabbed his phone. He called the police. "Hello 911? There's been an emergency, someone has been shot." Josh said.
While that was going on, Ross still looked at Natalie, and her noises stopped. Ross felt his sister's heart and he couldn't hear a heartbeat anymore, which scared the boy and made him think awful things. "Please Natalie, please!"
HITOSHI.
Hitoshi finally decided to come to dance that night and he was dressed up as Naruto. The titular character of the famous franchise. He even dyed his hair to match Naruto's. Hitoshi was trying to find his sister and bring her home. He knew that something strange had been going on with her and wanted to find out what that was.
Hitoshi sees Chroma standing next to Quinten, who was Chroma's friend. Chroma and Quinten were in the middle of a conversation. Both boys had been through a lot that night, and it wasn't exactly a fun one that they were having.
"Where is my sister?" Hitoshi asked, walking up to Chroma.
"I don't know, and I don't care. She's a freak."
Hitoshi wasn't going to let that comment slide. Hitoshi grabs Chroma by the shirt and pushes him up against the table. But it wasn't enough that would cause the table to fall. "Talk about my sister like that again, and I will hurt you. Now tell me where my sister is!"
"Okay…okay…okay…." Chroma replied. He didn't want to admit it, but Chroma was quite afraid of Misaki's older brother. He might not act like it, but Hitoshi was a very strong individual. "The last time I saw her, she had a freakout and ran off. She was also high on drugs. I think she took PCP."
"I knew it." Hitoshi stomped his foot on the ground. "We have to go and find her."
"Right." Chroma replied. Chroma and Hitoshi ran off, to go and find Hitoshi's younger sister.
DAKOTA.
Grace looks and sees that Quinten was gone. She quickly realized that she had been spending so much time with Dakota at the dance, that she ignored her boyfriend completely. "Where did Quinten go?"
"I have no idea," Dakota replied. Dakota facepalms. She felt bad that she took up so much of Grace's time, ruining her night with her boyfriend. "I'm so sorry. You where suppose to be spending time with your boyfriend, but instead I was here running your perfect night."
"Don't worry about it," Grace replied. Grace grabbed Dakota by her hands and looked into her eyes. "You're always going to be number one priority over anyone else. Especially guys." She said.
Grace looking into Dakota's eyes, causing the girl to blush heavily. "Thank you," Dakota replied. "I never heard anyone ever tell this to me before." Grace and Dakota hug each other. The hug was to reassure that their friendship was more important than anything else.
"Go get your man." Dakota breaks the hug, and Grace gets up to go get her boyfriend. While Dakota was sitting there, Takamaru walks up to her.
"Hey." Takamaru greeted.
"Oh, hey Takamaru." Dakota gets up and hugs the boy, which he liked. "I'm sorry for not being able to spend any time with you." She realized that she was ignoring him but apologized because she knew that it was the right thing to do.
"Don't worry about it," Takamaru replied. "I'm just glad that we got to spend time together."
"Good." She said. "Because I need more friends. Wanna go ditch this place, and go get some ice cream?" She was craving some ice cream, and her craving for it was bad.
"Sure, why not? I'd love some ice cream." Dakota and Takamaru hold hands and the two of them begin walking, on there way to go and get some ice cream.
ROSS.
Everyone was rushed to the hospital and the police started to question, Ash, Ross, and Josh. But Ross was so much in a hurry, that he wanted to see how Natalie was doing. Ross rushed down the hallways of the hospital as he noticed a doctor come out of Natalie's hospital room.
Ross didn't care about anything at all, except for his sister, and just wanted to see if his sister was okay. "Dr. please tell me. Is my sister okay?" The crying Ross asked.
"I'm sorry sir…but your sister is…" It was hard for the doctor to say anything. Because he wanted to keep it professional. "I'm sorry, but you're sister. She's didn't make it…" The doctor revealed.
"No!" Ross cried. He almost fell onto the floor, but Josh grabs him. Ross cries into Josh's shoulders. He couldn't stop crying. He was angry and sad both at the same time. Josh felt sad too but could sense that Ross felt pretty beat up about it.
QUINTEN.
Quinten stormed out of the school that Halloween night, and the streets of the city where pretty busy. Quinten wasn't having the best day today and didn't think that it was going to be getting any better. It was very cold that night, but that was to be expected since it was fall and the last day of October.
Grace walked down the steps of the school, trying to chase after her boyfriend. She saw him walking and tried her best to catch up to him. She really regretted ignoring him tonight and wanted to make it up to him. "Look, babe. I'm sorry."
"Oh, so you noticed me? I thought that since I'm not Dakota, that you wouldn't even know that I was here." He sarcastically said. But at the same time, he was being serious.
"Look, I know that I was ignoring you and I apologize for that." Grace grabs Quinten by the hands and looks into his eyes. "This was supposed to be the first night of us spending together since we're back together and I ruined that."
Quinten listened to her apology and could tell that she meant it. "I suppose you're right. But next time, we do spend time together. I just want it to be us, and no Dakota."
"I promise." She replied. They give each other a quick peck, but while they were kissing each other, all Grace could see was Dakota and not Quinten, which shocked the girl and caused her to break the kiss in a hurry.
"Is everything okay?" Quinten asked. He was enjoying the kiss that they were having and was kind of disappointed that the kiss ended so fast.
"Nope…" Grace lied. "Everything is fine…" Grace stood there, and she realized that she had feelings for Dakota and that her feelings for Grace were starting to fade away. She was trying her hardest to not think about it and wanted to make it go away, but it was hard for it.
MISAKI.
Misaki was storming off down the street, passing by trick or treaters that night. She was a pissed off woman, and high as hell on drugs. Misaki's night wasn't going as planned and everyone was just making it worse. Chroma was the last person that she thought was going to at least help make everything better, but not even he could.
"Screw Chroma, screw my family, scream everyone." She said. She looked at onto the street as the cars were passing by. She smiled while she looked at the cars. She began thinking about the cars possibly hitting her, and that made the young girl happy. "Maybe…just maybe…" She said.
"The world would be better off if I was dead." Misaki runs into the street and a car comes flying towards her. She looks at the car that was about to hit her and she smiled, hoping that she would finally get peace while she was holding onto her crunches.
"MISAKI!" Hitoshi and Chroma see the girl standing in the street, as the car was flying towards her and they rush into the street and grabbed the girl. They bring her to the other side of the street where she was crying.
"Leave me alone! Just let me die! It's the only way I can forget what he did go up. Me…" She cried, while both Chroma and her boyfriend were hugging up against her.
"It's going to be okay," Hitoshi said. "We're here for you, and we're going to get help together." He promised. He didn't want to see his sister live like this any longer and just wanted her to get some sort of professional help.
MISAKI.
It had been a week since the Halloween dance. Misaki and her family had done a lot of talking, and she had decided to finally get the help that she needed. The young girl had stopped taking drugs to get high and had repaired her relationship with her boyfriend Chroma. Misaki wanted to get help, and with the support of her siblings, she was going to get that help.
Misaki, Jina, and Hitoshi where sitting the counselor's office together. They had gone to Professor Kane, who was a high rated therapist in the Hoenn Region. The three siblings were sitting in chairs, while they looked at the Professor.
"What brings the three of you into my office today?" Professor Kane asked. "But first, please start with your names, individually."
"My name is Hitoshi."
"My name is Jina."
"And my name is Misaki."
"And the three of us were abused by our father." The three siblings said together in unison while they were all smiling. They wanted the pain and suffering that they had been feeling for the past couple of years to end, and they knew that the first step to doing that was trying to get help.
ROSS.
A few weeks have passed since Natalie's death and Ross was trying his best to get over his sister death. There had been some improvements for him, but he was still beaten up. Today was Natalie's funeral that November morning and the services were now over with.
Both Josh and Ross were dressed up in fancy tuxedos while looking at Natalie's gravestone. There were flowers, a picture of her and a teddy bear next to her gravestone. Ross was still sad, but he had Josh there and Josh had been cheering him up a little bit. "So, Ash got off scot-free for his testimony, but his mom got 10 years on kidnapping charges and 10 for manslaughter," Josh explained to Ross.
Ross was supposed to go to court, but he didn't want to because it was just too much for him to handle. Ross was a little disappointed that she only got 20 years. "She should've gotten more."
"Well, they did say that she was insane…" Josh said.
"She deserves to rot in hell for everything that she did." Ross looked down and grabbed the picture of Natalie and looked at her. Looking at the picture brought back so many memories of the things that both he and sister use to do together. "Natalie, I miss you…and I wish that you where still here."
Josh put his hand on Ross' right shoulder. "I'm always going to be here for you…if you need a shoulder to cry on."
"Thank you." Ross replied. Ross turns around and hugs his friend. He missed his sister so much. But at the same time, he was happy that his sister was right here, being there with him through thick and thin. Ross and Josh stood there and just hugged eachother, while the strong November winds blew through the park.
Authors Note: This chapter to awhile to finish, and was supposed to be up yesterday, but I'm glad that I was finally able to publish it. This is the conclusion to the first two parter of the story, and I hope I did a good job. This was an intense two parter, with a lot of action going into it. Damn, I never noticed that until now.
Also starting with this chapter, characters will be credited at the beginning, so you will now know which characters will be in each chapter, and the chapter title will be added too.
I hope you guys all enjoyed the chapter and can't wait for the next one to be posted. Also, thanks for the reviews. Also, to Preparations/Academy fans. I didn't want to post a chapter until April 20th because there's a holiday on that day, and the next chapter of the Academy/Preparations takes place on that Holiday. That's why there's been a long wait. I wanted it to be posted on the 20th.
Can you guys believe that there are only two chapters left in Volume 1? And there both holiday specials? It's been a long ride but the final chapter of Volume 1 Is almost here. Also, I have a question, are you all tired of the Dakota, Quinten, and Grace storyline? I sometimes get the feeling that people are…
Also Deutschland1871, made a spin off about Ross and his characters before they came to the Academy, check it out it's a really good read.
Musicromo – no problem. I really liked your characters and wanted to put them in the story.
Martyn – He did kidnap Ross sister.
Golem2.76 – Without spoiling it, you did do a pretty good job at analyzing some things that do end up happening. Congrats!
Deutschland1871 – This chapter pretty much shows why Ross was crying during the music video while looking at the picture of the little girl. Lol, yeah Auden was being normal. It wasn't him running, more like him not knowing what to do.
Mara the Wolf – You where close on figuring out who was going to die, but far off at the same.
