Lilly and Cody chapter.. what are we up to now? Like.. four? Wow.. chapter 4: Breakfast


Okay, this one actually starts of at a semi-normal starting point, having a little bit of time passed from the last stop, rather than just me stopping and starting wherever I feel like it. Okay, so..Um... If you read this, please review..and all that. Okay, to the story. Oh, and again, section in italics is a dream.
Disclaimer: I don't own pokemon. Um... Yeah.
There was too much fire, too many flames, he couldn't get out. Fire surrounded him on all sides, preventing any escape. He was doomed, to spend all eternity in this fiery hell pit, as those he had once foolishly considered friends stood around the ring of flames, pointing and laughing. He had to find a way out, find a way to freedom, and peace, but how, with these flames all around him? It wasn't possible, he couldn't do it, not all alone. But, he wasn't alone anymore, was he? The sight to behold, a glowing horse, engulfed in flames, carrying a radiant angel to his aid. The angel extended her hand to him, and he reached out to grasp his savior.

The knocking finally drilled into Cody's mind, awakening him from his fitful slumber. Wearily opening an eye he observed the room around him, momentarily confused as to where he was. After a moment it washed over him like a tidal wave, the explosion, the girl, the Rapidash, this house, and the dreams... With a groan he rolled over, tossing his feet over the side of the bed and sitting up, why was he having such ridiculous dreams? And what was all that racket! Sleepy blue eyes shot up to the door, where the persistent noise was coming from, and he realized that it must be Lilly, trying to wake him up.

"Yes?" He spoke up finally, and the knocking stopped, replaced by a hesitant pause.

"Sorry, but If we're going to get you some new things then we better get a move on. I'm off work today, but I've got a lunch meeting at twelve that I cant miss. There's a pile of clothes outside your door. Its all that I can find, some of my big brothers old stuff, it oughta work until we finish shopping. Get ready as soon as you can and come downstairs, I've got breakfast cooking." And with that she was gone, her footsteps receding from the door.

Cody jumped up, his stomach rumbling at the thought of breakfast, and ran to the door. Peeking his head out he grabbed the small stack of clothes that sat beside the door, pulling them into the room before closing the door once more. He was dressed in mere moments, and quickly descending the stairs.

The clothes fit well, the pants being just a bit too long, as apparently Lilly's older brother wa little bit taller than Cody. He had rolled them up at the cuffs once to prevent himself from stepping on the bottoms. Though the pants he was wearing were the last thing on his mind when he saw the large tower of pancakes sitting on the kitchen table. Then even the pancakes vanished from his mind as Lilly turned, spatula in hand, wearing an apron that read, "Kiss the cook!" To Cody's genuine surprise that was exactly what he wanted to do. He stopped in his tracks, just staring at her. Her hair was tied up behind her head, with loose little tendrils falling to frame her face, and her green eyes glowed with simple happiness. The sunlight filtered in through the kitchen windows curtains, lending her an even more angelic aura.

"Whats wrong? Is there something on my face?" Lilly attempted to look at her own nose, to check and see if anything was smudged on her face, only to end up cross eyed in the attempt. "What is it?"

Cody drew in a shaky breath, dropping his eyes to the floor as he attempted to compose himself. He wouldn't survive staying with her if he kept acting like a fool. Once he had his voice and expression in check he looked back up at her with a grin, shaking his head quickly. "No, its nothing at all. Wow, these smell really good!" Making an show of sitting at the table he hoped to distract her from his odd greeting. He picked up a fork and pulled two pancakes on his plate and grabbed a warm bottle of syrup, before beginning to eat. "And they taste really good too!" Cody spoke around a mouth full of pancakes, grinning foolishly as she sat down across from him beginning to eat herself.

Soon after breakfast was finished Lilly had Cody by the wrist and was pulling him down a small dirt road that lead to the town of Kedridge. Upon arriving in the little town she pulled him along through an array of little shops, insisting on paying for an assortment of things for his daily living in her home. After a while Cody decided that it was no use to argue or protest, so he just followed behind her, carrying bags and packages.
