Chapter 5: School
/\/\/\/\
I woke up in the bed to find Matt gone… I looked around to see that his bathroom light was on and I didn`t worry about it. I crawled into his light blue covers even more and waited for him to get out. A few minutes later came out and saw me wrapped in the covers.
"I see your up!" he said in his usual peppy attitude! "Well its Friday and I have school… Hey! Today`s show and tell today wanna come!?"
"Yea!" I said but sadly the telepathy lock faded and all he heard was "Bay!"
"Let's go downstairs to get the telepathy lock activated again!" I nodded, and he grabbed me by the stomach and we headed downstairs.
When we got down, we headed for the kitchen to see everybody eating breakfast… Alakazam was meditating in the corner and, Cody finishing his poke` food. Matt set me down on the floor next to Cody and went over to his sister…
"So…" I began "how`s the training?"
"Oh…" said Cody "It`s fun to battle against Alex`s other Pokémon… but I wish you could train with us…"
"It`s OK! I'm enjoying being with Matt!"
"Hey Griffin!" Matt called "Come here so we can get the telepathy lock back on you!" I walked over there and instantly Alakazam`s eyes glowed a shade of blue, and it stopped soon.
"Did it work?" I asked
"It worked perfectly!" there mom said "OK Cody off to school! What are you ringing to show and tell today?"
"Imp bringing Griffin!" he said in a cheery voice "Is that OK?"
"Well… I guess… your classmates know about the telepathy lock right?"
"OH yeah! I told them last time I brought Alakazam!"
"OK he can come!" his mom said
"Yeah!"

On the walk to his school"
/\/\/\/\
I was being carried in his backpack with only my head and forearms sticking out. Whenever I looked at the other kids walking to school I remembered when I was alive and went to school with Cody… we were always the trouble makers and I wonder how my school mates will take it when they learned that I died… Matt seemed to see me and said
"Are you OK?" I looked at him and nodded…
/\/\/\/\
At his school:
/\/\/\/\
Everyone was goofing off and waiting for the teacher to announce show and tell… when she did there were a few kids with Pokémon but only as rare as a zigzagoon, others brought toys, and one of them brought their grandfather! The grandfather was a Pokémon researcher, and studied only the rare Pokémon and there DNA signatures or something like that…
Matt was finally called up and I followed him to the front… when I was up there many people were amazed at seeing me, even the professor was looking intently at me…
"This-" Matt began "is my banette!"
"H-Hay" I said waving and partially hiding behind Matt`s legs because I was so nervous.
"Don`t be shy!" Matt said "you wanna answer questions from my classmates?"
"S-Sure…" many people raised their hand and Matt put me on the teacher`s desk so I could see them better. I pointed at the kid in the front
"What`s your name?"
"It`s Griffin…" I said still a little shy
At this the professor actually paid attention and he raised his hand. I picked him…
"Are there any special abilities you have? Besides being able to speak?"
"U-um yeah… Well… Banettes can't really tell any secret…" I said thinking that there would be over hundreds of questions from the professor, but he just wrote it down on his clipboard and another kid raised his hand… I picked him…
"Is that true?"
"Y-yeah!" I said
"Can I try it out?"
"Um…"
"Come on its only one more time!" Matt said
"OK…"
"The kid came up to me and whispered into my ear "My… whisper whisper whisper!"
I hesitated for a second and finally said "His s-"
"Zzzzzip!"
"Humph! Humphy?"
Most of the people laughed about my zipper closing, some of them looked sorry for me, and a few of them were overly surprised!
It was the end of the school day and we didn`t even bother to get the zipper undone because most of the kids were telling me secrets and trying to get me to say them…
/\/\/\/\
At home:
/\/\/\/\
We got to his house finally and then he tugged on my zipper to get it undone… it was dinnertime before we got home and I had another bowl of poke` food, but this time with a sweet tasting poke` block.
Me and Cody didn`t talk much that day and we finally headed off to bed. Matt helped onto the bed, and told me a few of his secrets about a crush girl! (And of course… I couldn`t tell…) suddenly.
"You know? Your skin actually feels like a plush doll…" I thought about that for a second…
Didn`t it say somewhere that abandoned dolls turn into a banette? I thought about this for a second and Matt started scratching me right behind the horns and I soon fell asleep…
Well that's the end of that chapter! PLEASE REVIEW (words=1004)
