Chapter Four — What Could Go Wrong? (Part I)


Blue's POV

"Hey, I'll be heading to City Hall first," Silv informed as he grabbed his coat off the chair.

I waved at him and gave him a friendly smile, hiding my exhaustion. "Okay! I'll be there later! See ya!"

Silv gave me one of his curt head nods and headed out of the classroom, leaving me behind. I looked down at the stack of papers I needed to finish. Ugh, if only I didn't have to stay behind doing documents for the student council. We could've walked to City Hall together. Hmm... actually, I wonder if I should go to City Hall or not. I mean, it wasn't even my fault that the whole thing started. Well, it kinda was, but, it was to help Yellow, so I deserve a medal instead of a punishment, that stupid teacher! I bet he's not a real lieutenant.

BING!

I snapped out of my thoughts and grabbed my phone off the desk to check the message. Ooh! I wonder if it's Leaf! Man, he's so fun to mess with!

To: Aoineko
From: LeafGreen

Are you messing with me, or do you really want to duel? Because if you do, you're going to lose and you know that.

I snickered at that message. This guy is really entertaining. He has no idea what I'm planning for him. I typed back and replied immediately. BING! It didn't even take a minute for him to reply back.

To: Aoineko
From: LeafGreen

I don't care anymore whether you're serious or not. If you really want to duel, meet me in Viridian City so we can fight. At 9 pm, universal time.

Wow. This guy is straight forward. Honestly, I didn't think he would get straight to the point and tell me, but I guess it's too late to back out now. It'll look bad if I just chicken out. Besides, it'll be fun to tease him about losing his champion status to Fire.

"What are you doing here?"

GEEZ! I felt my heart almost stop!

After tensing up and jumping in place, I ended up dropping my phone in the process too. Who the heck was it? I didn't even hear them! Turning my heel, I see spiky brown hair— my disappointment.

"Green?" I blurted out incredulously. I wonder why this guy is here!

Green leaned on the doorway and folded his arms. "What are you doing here?" he repeated the question again, ignoring my surprise expression.

Geez. He could've at least apologized for surprising me. Rude.

But nonetheless, I answered his question. "I'm the student council president, and this is the student council room. You're smart, do the math." Hey, I can be rude too.

He twitched his eyebrow, trying to hide an obviously annoyed expression. I don't know why he tries, he doesn't even seem like the type who cares.

"I mean, what are you doing here when you're supposed to be at that wedding thing?"

"Same for you," I countered sharply, pulling out my watch. "According to my watch, you're fifteen minutes late."

Hey, even though this was against me too, I'm late all the time for things. But Green Oak, grandson of the famous Prof. Oak, being late is never heard of. I could also use this chance for blackmail, but I choose not to because I'm so kind. Yet.

His eyebrow twitched again, his expression finally showing its true colors. "Whatever." With a gruff, he just left the room.

It took me a few seconds to absorb what had happened. I clicked my tongue. That guy really is a jerk. Oh well. Oh yeah, I forgot, what was I supposed to— my phone!

I hurriedly ran towards my phone, which was on the ground. This had better not be shattered! I checked the screen. Okay, no cracks or scratches. Good. Ah! I should reply to LeafGreen, he's probably waiting.

I wonder if I text back fast enough, he'll still be online. Geez, I'm acting like that guy's girlfriend. I sound like the worry and clingy type. Yeah, that's not happening. But still, I wanted to talk to him. It's always so fun to mess with him out of the whole group.


Normal POV

"This is ridiculous! Why should I be cleaning bird poop off of the roof?!" Ruby complained, throwing his arms up, exasperatedly.

Sapphire stopped cleaning and looked up, rolling her eyes at him. "Stop complaining Prissy Boy! Ya need more muscle anyways. Yer arms are like spaghetti noodles!"

Surprisingly, Ruby wasn't offended. "It's better than being a crazy muscle barbarian such as yourself," he muttered.

"Prissy Boy!" Sapphire shouted from her spot, not even bothering to turn around to look at him.

"Caveman!" Ruby did the same action.

"Sissy!"

"Barbari—" Ruby stopped when he felt water touch his face. "What the— rain?"

He looked up at the sky to see where the water was coming from. With all of the arguing, he didn't notice the clouds in the sky. Even though it was sunny and the skies were blue, he could've sworn he felt rain.

He started to doubt himself. "Hey Sapph, is it raining?" he asked, making sure.

Sapphire seemed to be one of those nature survival girls to him, and she would probably be the best in this situation when it comes to predicting the weather. Y'know, by breathing the wind or something, Ruby assumed. Then again, he also thought she was an actual caveman and raised in a jungle, so his perception of her could be off.

As he predicted, Sapphire sniffed the air. "It smells... salty," Sapphire commented, wrinkling her nose. "We should probably get inside. It's gonna rain hard."

Just as she said that, more raindrops fell from the sky, faster and harder this time.

"What happened to the drizzle part?!" Ruby exclaimed as he threw his rag and ran to the door to get inside; Sapphire followed behind him. Ruby twisted the doorknob, pushing and pulling on it, but the door wouldn't open.

"Hurry up, or we'll be sick!" Sapphire chided, yelling in his ear.

"It's not opening!" Ruby defended, yanking even harder.

"Move Prissy Boy! Ya don't have any muscles like I said!" she said, shoving him out of the way roughly. She began twisting the doorknob and yanked it as hard as she could. After a few seconds, she fell back and landed on her butt, with the doorknob in her hand. Disconnected from the door.

"Oops," Sapphire mumbled, noticing what had happened.

Behind her, Ruby's soul looked like it was coming out of its body. He suddenly recovered with the adrenaline he had.

"Don't 'oops' me! How do we get in now?!" Ruby scolded. "My silky hand-made clothes are now drenched and ruined!"

"Stop complainin', I got a back up plan," Sapphire reassured, chucking the detached door knob somewhere.

To his horror, she walked over to him and after placing her arm around his waist, he was carried and dragged to the edge of the roof.

"W-What are you doing, you crazy nut?!" Ruby shrieked, already predicting what she will do.

"What does it look like? We're near the edge of the roof," Sapphire told him sarcastically, thinking he didn't get it.

"We are not jumping, you psycho! Can't you just kick down that door or something?!" Ruby screamed, pointing at the door without a doorknob.

"Can't. Papa's already in debt because of me and City Hall's doors are made out of steel and glass. That's going to cost too much. Jumping is cheaper," Sapphire explained, waving off his horror. "Now c'mon! Let's get down there before we get a cold!"

Ruby quickly broke her grip, and tried to make a break for the door, but she blocked him. Those football practices have been really kind to her.

"What's wrong? Why ya bein' a wimp about this?!"

"Oh, maybe it's because I don't want to die!" Ruby sarcastically shouted.

Sapphire rolled her eyes. "I do this all the time! Just trust me!"

Without waiting for his reply, she wrapped her arm around his waist again and dragged him to the edge of the roof, then jumped off without warning. Ruby's girly screaming can heard the way down.

A few seconds later, Emerald opened the door from the inside. "Hey guys, that idiot maggot guy told me to get y'all because the door happens to lock from the outside—" He stopped mid-sentence when he realized that no one was there.

"I swear if those two are making out, I'm going to kill someone if I get wet for nothing," he muttered under his breath as he took a step outside. There was no way he was going to disobey Lt. Surge. His eardrums almost broke when he was ordered to get the two.

He stood in the rain, his blonde hair down and soaked. Emerald held his short arms together, cranky and upset. He walked to the other side of the roof and saw nobody. No one was in sight at all.

He shrugged his shoulders, thinking that they probably went in already, then headed straight for the door. But before he could grab it, the wind beat him to it, shoving the door closed. The blond stood there in silence, staring at the door. Suddenly, he realized his situation and yanked his own hair in frustration.

"I am going to kill those two!"


"They're late," Platinum informed with a blank face that could be seen as a frown. "As our seniors they should be on time and I shall not wait for commoners to do their job. It is ridiculous."

"I know right!" Pearl agreed.

"Well, we did come here an hour early," Diamond defended, sweat dropping at the two's comments.

The three were on the second floor of City Hall, decorating and arranging the tables as instructed by Lt. Surge.

"Still Dia! They're ten minutes late! Five minutes ago, when I went to get the tablecloth to decorate the tables, Lt. Surge started complaining and taking it out on me!" Pearl yanked the boy's collar and shoved him closer to his face, making their foreheads touch. "You have no idea how that feels!"

Diamond could've sworn he saw a black aura surrounding Pearl for a second. He awkwardly laughed, trying to lighten the atmosphere. "Yep, no idea..." he said, trying to break Pearl's grip.

Pearl released him, then sighed. "Sorry Dia. I'm just really stressed out. I didn't get much sleep since my little sister kept crying because she lost her blanket, and when we found it, it was already 5 AM. I had to run to football practice with you guys because of this dumb punishment! I've been feeling so horrible!"

"... So you didn't sleep at all?" Diamond inquired, worried for his friend.

Pearl waved his hand. "Nah," he replied. "I slept during math class with Roark. That guy takes forever to notice you!"

"That's so smart," Diamond complimented his friend.

Platinum made a face, wondering if Diamond genuinely meant that, but she couldn't read the boy.

Suddenly, Diamond turned towards her. "Hey Missy, do you know what kind of flowers we should put out?"

She nodded, proud to know the answer to his question. "Yes. I studied all kinds of flowers and the language of flowers, so I am prepared for the task."

"Cool!" Diamond remarked, smiling.

"At least you're good at something when you try," Pearl mumbled.

"Let's start the floral arrangements together then!" Diamond said, clasping his hands together.


"Yellow, are you cold because of the rain? Your face is turning red. I think you might have a fever," Red warned seriously.

Yellow's face turned even redder when she heard that remark and her breathing got heavier. She stayed after school to draw in the art room and accidentally forgot about the wedding thing Lt. Surge told them to do yesterday. When she finally remembered and rushed out, it started raining heavily. Luckily, she brought her own umbrella, so it wasn't a big deal. That's when she saw Red running in the rain on the way, covering himself with his book bag. Yellow being Yellow, she called out to him and offered to share her umbrella with him. When she had offered it, she didn't think about how she would feel his wet sleeve brush hers and his breathing on her forehead, or how they were so close together when they shared an umbrella. She could've sworn her heart would stop at any moment.

Yellow gave him a nervous, warm smile. "Uh no, I'm okay," she answered softly. "Thank you."

Red looked unconvinced and pulled her closer so that the water wouldn't get on her. "There! Just in case the rain tries getting on you!" Red said happily, smiling one of his kind smiles.

"So... you into Pokémon or something?" he inquired, looking at her umbrella. It was a pikachu decorated one from the game that she won from a giveaway.

Yellow didn't want to sound geeky and say that she likes it, but she didn't want to lie to Red.

"Er, well kind of," she answered, sounding unsure. She looked down at her feet, trying to avoid eye contact with him.

Unknown to her, Red smiled even more widely. "Aw really?! They're so cool, aren't they?" he remarked excitedly. "Do you play the RPG game?"

She nodded her head, making Red's eyes light up. "Cool! You should add me online! We can play together and stuff. What's your username? Mine's Fire Fighter!"

Yellow widened her eyes and looked up at him with a shocked expression. "W-What?" she spluttered.

She knew Fire_Fighter. Despite the odd name, Fire Fighter was one of the high ranking players in the group she was in. He was probably the leader of the group, and the strongest, in her opinion at least. After all, he did take the championship title away last night.

Noticing Yellow's expression, Red asked, "Have you heard of the name or something?"

Yellow nodded. "He's the new champion, right?"

When she said that, Red brightened up like a Christmas tree. "Oh you heard already? I stayed up all night just to get that title!" he told her proudly, pumping a fist against his chest. "So what's your username? Maybe we can chat—"

"YELLOOOW!"

A shout from behind them cut their conversation short. The two turned their heads around, only to see Blue running through the rain with a blue umbrella. They stopped walking, and a few seconds later, she caught up to them.

"Oh my! You guys were on a date today, and you didn't tell your best friend?" Blue said, pretending to be hurt, though she was secretly smirking inside. Immediately she switched to a large smile, suspicious Yellow might say. "Well, I'll forgive you. Have fun~!"

Without getting a reply from either of them, she sprinted off towards the building, and Yellow and Red only watched in silence, thinking she's crazy.

"Huh?" Red mumbled, confused. "What did she mean by date?"

Yellow tensed up, hearing the word. Letting out an awkward laugh, she replied, "Who knows? Blue is always saying weird things."

There was no way she was going to tell Red she was a girl. It would turn the situation more awkward than it already is, and she couldn't risk her friendship with him through the drama. She just smiled and nodded like the good girl she is.

Red shrugged it off, oblivious of anything suspicious. "Yeah, I guess so. We should pick up the pace before Lt. Surge gets on us!"


Crystal's POV

"Wow... I can't believe someone's going to have a wedding in City Hall," Soul remarked, in awe at how big the place was. Well, big wasn't exactly the right word, more like grand.

Today was the first day of our punishment, and we were tasked with decorating a wedding. I didn't even know how or why people would have a wedding here and we had to decorate two months early, but now I can see why. The place was larger than the school. Hopefully the room we have to decorate isn't too big.

"Yeah," I said, agreeing with her. "This is only the first floor. Let's hurry to the second floor; that's where the assigned room is."

Soul's eyes widened when she found out there was a second floor. "There's a second floor?! But the ceiling is so huge and tall!" she exclaimed, throwing her arms around to emphasize how big the place was.

"It's City Hall. Anything can happen here," I stated. "And because of you, we're late, so you better stop looking around and get going. I am not going to suffer another round of yelling from Lt. Surge again."

Soul would have argued with the first sentence I said, but she stopped and agreed that getting yelled at by Lt. Surge was pretty bad.

"I think I saw an elevator over there!"

She pointed at a golden elevator across the room. The two of us walked into the elevator, which conveniently opened on time. After entering, I looked for the second floor button and pushed it. When a few seconds passed, the elevator doors began to close.

"W-Wait! Wait!"

Through the small gap of the closing doors, I saw a pregnant lady running towards us, waving her arms to get our attention. I put my hand between the closing doors to stop it and let her in. Once she got in, panting, another shout was heard. This time, it was that annoying guy and his redheaded best friend from yesterday's detention. Like the pregnant lady, they were sprinting over and waving their hands. The only difference in this situation was that I was not going to hold the elevator door for them. I felt kind of bad dragging Silver with Gold, but as long as Gold's not in a tight cramp space with me, I think I'll get over it. I need to space myself and Soul away from these troublemakers. I can't have them dragging me down with them. I already got two months of punishment for no reason.

Soul glanced at me then had a smug look on her face. What the heck is she thinking? She put her arm out before I could stop her and made the elevator door open again. Gold and Silver slipped into the elevator in time.

I should've known she wanted me to suffer.

"Soul! Why'd you do that?" I whispered-scolded harshly.

I can't believe she would do this just to get on my nerves! She knows I want to avoid them!

"Whatever do you mean, Dear Sister?" Soul pretended to play dumb, tilting her head sideways. I can still see the smug look.

"Oh hey Krissy!" I cringed at that nickname.

Turning around, I see Gold, close to me because of the cramped elevator. This might be the nicest thing ever. Too bad it's not.

"Hi," I briefly greeted. "And it's not Krissy."

"Super Serious Gal?"

"Go roll in a ditch."

Gold raised his eyebrow and let out a low whistle. "Geez, I was just kidding. You don't have to be so serious about it!"

"What's wrong with being serious?" I snapped, crossing my arms. I swear, this guy gets on my nerves every time.

Gold looked like he was about to say something when he opened his mouth, but no words came out because the pregnant lady that came in earlier started to pant. Extremely loudly, I might add.

"Are you okay?" Soul asked worriedly, trying to hold her up.

"Y-Yeah... I'm... okay..." she assured between her pants. "I just need to get out of elevator soon."

"Don't worry, we're almost on floor—" Soul stopped talking when the elevator suddenly halted.

To my horror, the lights in the elevator cut off and it became pitch black. After a few seconds later, the emergency light flicked on, and I could see again. Not that it matters or helped with the situation of being claustrophobic within closed walls with this many people in a small space.

"What's happening?" I heard Silver muttered.

"Looks like the elevator is broken. Don't worry, we'll probably be here for a couple of minutes before they find out it's broken! When they do, they'll fix it right away!" I reassured.

The last thing we needed was a pregnant lady panicking. She was already breathing heavily when she entered the elevator; we don't need the situation to escalate.

"Yeah!" Soul agreed, pumping her fist up. "Everything will be okay! It's not like we're in a rush anyways!"

I bet she just wanted to use this as an excuse to skip the punishment.

"Uh! I have to get out right now, Sweetie!" Everyone turned their attention to the pregnant lady. "My water just broke!"

"..." The whole elevator turned silent.

Great. The situation escalated.

"Damn," I heard Gold say from beside me.

"AAAHHH! What do we do now, Crys?!" Soul yelled frantically, yanking her pigtails.

"Why ask me?!"

"Because you're probably the smartest person inside the elevator!" Soul shouted before suddenly pausing and screaming again in excitement. "Ah! I got it! I know what to do!"

"What?" Silver inquired for everyone.

"We'll just help her give birth!" Soul replied calmly as if it was normal.

I should've known she never had a plan! She's always saying random crazy stuff while I try to cover for her!

"Okay, everyone! Give her some room!"

"..."

"Soul, you do realize that we can't move as much because this elevator is tiny!" I pointed out the flaw to her plan. Well, one of the flaws at least.

It's already bad enough that Gold's shoulder inches away from mine. I don't need to screw over some pregnant lady who I just met because we're birthing her baby in this dirty elevator with teenagers.

"..." Soul stayed quiet for a while before speaking again. "Well, we're screwed."

I banged my head on the wall. This is probably karma from trying to close the door on Silver, and now, I regret my mistake.

"Hey Super Serious Gal, you could just squeeze under my jacket to make more room!" the idiot suggested. Really? Under his jacket? I don't even want to be touching his shoulders with him! Gosh, I didn't even want to be in the same elevator as him!

Please Arceus, mighty ruler of the RPG online game, save me now. Or, kill me. Either way, I'm away from these crazy people. Minus, Silver who seems the most sane one probably.


Hey guys! Happy Single Awareness Days (for people like me) aka Valentine's Day!

I apologize for what I said in the previous chapter. I meant to make this one longer, but then procrastinate A LOT, so I didn't make it twice as long. Sorry for misleading y'all.

Anyways, thank you very much for following, favoriting or reviewing this story! I am not kidding, I love y'all!
