Chapter 9: The Twists of Crossovers
Noah was helping Blaineley to stop crying from what Sierra shouted out moments earlier.
Lindsay was in the hallway, and she heard the crying. She entered the room and asked,
"What's wrong with Blair? Is she upset, Nathan?" He replied, "Sierra will pay for this."
Duncan and Leshawna heard the crying, and they walked in. Leshawna shouted, "I'm
sick of people messing with you two! Sierra, Courtney, and Geoff will pay!"
Blaineley said, "Why do they hate us, anyway?" At that moment, something smart came
out of Lindsay's mouth. She answered, "Maybe it's because you're 20 and Noah's 17."
Noah yelled, "That won't stop us. We've faced many people who want to break us up.
Surfer dudes, a Heather trio, and a guy named Steven." Duncan said, "Wow."
Blaineley asked, "Noah, you really have that much trust in me?" He gave her a kiss on
the cheek. "Does that answer your question?" he replied. Lindsay said, "Listen,
everybody! Tomorrow, we should all go on a cruise!" Everybody in the room stared at
her in silence. Duncan yelled, "What's the point of that?" Noah inserted, "Why on a
cruise, anyway? Where are we going?" Lindsay announced, "It's a cruise for T.D.W.T.
Members. Plus, it's called the S.S. Chris McLean." Duncan shouted, "That makes me
hate going on a cruise even more." Lindsay cheered, "This will be so exciting! The ship
will take us to a place called the Kanto Region." Blaineley told her, "That's where the
next season will take place. I heard the Kanto Region's filled with challenges!"
Lindsay squealed, "Yes! I hope Sailor Moon's going to be there with all her friends!"
Noah sarcastically replied, "Yeah. She'll be there when she's running from you."
At that moment, a loud sound was heard. Izzy kicked open the air vent.
The crazy girl yelled, "A cruise? Sweet! Can I come?"
Leshawna asked, "Girl, why do you roam around in the air vents so much?"
Izzy replied, "It's a good way to spy. Plus, Courtney won't find me." As she was talking,
Harold came out from behind her. "Can I come too?" he asked. Blaineley said,
"Whatever. By the way, do we need tickets?" Lindsay said, "I bought 15 tickets from
Sailor Mars this morning." Harold asked, "Leshawna, what's she talking about?" She
replied, "I have no idea." Duncan yelled, "Look, it's 5:45 p.m. Get your cell phones out,
guys. We don't want the others hearing about this. We'll text our plans, okay?" After
everyone left the room, Noah and Blaineley decided to text, instead of talk. Duncan
pulled out his phone and pressed a button called, "Text All." He texted this: "Wake up at
3:20 a.m. tomorrow. Keep things quiet." Noah added, "You're right. We should go down
to Metal Harbor. That's where the night ships are." Harold texted, "Pack your suitcases
and your wallets, too." Duncan added, "I can steal in the Kanto Region. It's legal."
Lindsay inserted, "Do you think Sailor Mercury likes blue nail polish?" Izzy replied,
"No. We should erase camera footage of Noah and Blaineley. I'll go to the camera room
right now." Suddenly, Gwen's text name was on the screen. She wrote, "Hi, guys! I read
the previous texts. Even Heather's not this smart. By the way, Trent's on the show now."
Then, Heather's text name was on the screen. She replied, "I'm smarter than all of you
combined!" Duncan ignored her. He wrote: "Win for me, Gwen!"
Blaineley added, "You deserve to win, Gwen! By the way, how's Owen?"
Gwen wrote, "Owen won the eating challenge today. I'll win for you all!"
Next, Cody's text name showed up. He wrote, "Hi, guys! I'm happy that Sierra's gone."
Blaineley wrote, "Well, I'm glad someone's happy about that."
Cody replied, "I'm still worried about Al, though. He's a jerk."
Leshawna inserted, "I just finished talking to the Sailor Moon girls. They'll distract
Courtney's group of revenge." Lindsay wrote, "You see, guys? They do exist!"
Cody replied, "What girls? Are they really hot? Have they heard of me?"
Duncan wrote, "Anyway, just be ready at dawn." Then, everyone stopped texting.
Meanwhile, Blaineley and Noah were talking. She said, "Thanks for standing up for me
today, Noah." He replied, "You're welcome. I was doing what needed to be done."
Blaineley kissed him on the lips. She asked, "Remember last week when I saw those
wedding clothes in that window?" He answered, "Yeah. Why?" Blaineley cheered, "I
bought them with my credit card." Noah blushed, "Are you saying that you want us to get
married?" Blaineley smiled and said, "Well, first you should buy a ring. That way, you
can ask me if I want to get married." Noah gave her a red rose and said, "OK, then. I'll
buy the perfect ring for you, my beautiful Blaineley." Then, they slept on the couch.
At 3:45 a.m. everyone's cell phone alarms went off. They had their suitcases packed.
Also, they had their wallets and guidebooks of the Kanto Region. Duncan made them use
the aftermath studio's basement route to get outside. When they came outside, it was
extremely dark. Harold yelled, "Duncan, we can't see anything out here!" Suddenly, a
girl wearing a red skirt appeared out of nowhere. She yelled, "Fire Flare!" At that
moment, a giant fireball got rid of the darkness. The girl said, "Hi, I'm Sailor Mars. I
brought my friends along, too. Four other girls appeared out of the darkness. The one
wearing the orange skirt announced, "Hi! I'm Sailor Venus. That's Sailor Mercury. The
girl next to me is Sailor Jupiter. Finally, the one that's behind us is Sailor Moon."
As Duncan's group entered his van, the five girls stopped Noah.
Sailor Venus smiled and said, "Are you Noah?"
He replied, "Yes, I am. Do you need me for something?" Suddenly, Sailor Venus held
him close to her. Noah explained, "My face isn't in a good spot right now." She gave
Noah an amazing kiss on the lips. As he blushed, the other four girls did the same thing to
him. Now, his face was really red. Izzy had to drag Noah into the van. As Duncan drove
off, the five girls entered the aftermath studio. They stayed in Blaineley's room.
Meanwhile, Duncan's group arrived at Metal Harbor. They boarded their cruise ship.
A voice announced, "Now, we're going to the Kanto Region!" Noah and Blaineley knew
who it was. Shane said, "Hey, guys. It's weird how we keep meeting up like this."
Noah yelled, "Yeah. So, why are you going to Kanto?" Shane shouted, "I'm going to see
a place called Saffron City." Blaineley inserted, "Where's that?" He pointed to the map
nearby. It was in the middle of Kanto. Duncan yelled, "Hey! You're the guy who was the
waiter at T.D.I. Mondays! Now, you work at the aftermath studio." Noah said, "I didn't
know that you work there now." Shane explained, "This stupid guy named Geoff and this
rude girl named Courtney hired me. I saw the last aftermath. That was cool, Noah."
Then, they received 7-star breakfast meals. Duncan yelled, "I can't remember the last
time I had food that was this good!" Noah and Blaineley noticed the beautiful sunrise.
Blaineley was amazed. "It's so pretty!" she exclaimed. However, Noah was looking at a
ring shop. "I'll be right back!" he announced. As he entered the store, he saw rings of
many colors. He asked the clerk, "Do you have any wedding rings?" The clerk checked
and explained, "Yes, we do. What color suits you or the lady you're buying it for?" Noah
looked at all the rings. "Yeah, I'll take the red one. How much is it?" The clerk noticed
Noah's age. Then, he had an idea. "Take it. It's free," he said.
Noah wondered, "Why is it free? Aren't you running a business?"
The clerk smiled and said, "Yes, but I can see that you love this lady a lot."
After taking the ring, Noah left the store. He went to Blaineley's room. She was looking
out the window. Noah asked, "Blaineley, can I say something?" She answered, "Of
course you can, my handsome Noah. He put the ring on her finger and said, "Blaineley
Stacey Andrews O'Halloran, will you marry me?" Blaineley blushed intensely and gave
him a wonderful kiss on the lips. She said, "Yes, Noah. I'll marry you." Then, on the
intercom, Chris McLean said, "We have arrived in the Kanto Region!" As everyone
stepped off the boat, Harold read a sign. "Pewter City. Weird," he thought. Meanwhile, at
the studio, Sailor Venus and her friends defeated Courtney's group of revenge. The bossy
girl yelled, "Who are you, anyway? Five weird girls in skirts, that's who!" Geoff
groaned, "Ouch! That Jupiter chick hit me with lightning!" Bridgette screamed, "That girl
in the red skirt left me burnt to a crisp!" Sierra yelled, "That girl who used the bubbles
created a giant tidal wave!" Tyler shouted, "That Sailor Moon girl beat me with a simple
kiss!" Courtney screeched, "Stupid Venus girl! That Love Chain really hurt!"
Meanwhile, Noah's group finished exploring Kanto. He asked, "Was Fuchsia City great,
Blaineley?" She replied, "The Safari Zone was really amazing!" Afterwards, they got
back on the cruise ship. Duncan laughed and said, "I managed to steal a wallet from a
guy named Gary Oak!" Noah and Blaineley celebrated by sunbathing. They shared a kiss
as they were heading home to the aftermath studio.
