Brad and the gang took a little break from training to deliver a, er, package to Elm and went to Brad's secret place, a small pond. There he met an old friend of his, Neji.

Brad's PoV

"Wha-wha-what are you doing here?" I asked. I couldn't believe it, that she found me!

"Now is that a way to treat your eldest cousin?" Neji asked. "Who are they, your girlfriends?" she pointed to Erin and Kathryn.

That really set me off. I pushed Neji into the water. I guess I have to tell you what she looked like.

She was 14, and, like me, had dark brown hair. But she had cerulean eyes, while I had jungle green. She wears a blue tee-shirt, along with black pants with many pockets, and black sneakers. She also wears my last birthday present to her, a pair of blue fingerless gloves. Now she was wet. And pretty angry.

She pulled out a pokeballl and cried, "Go, Espeon, tackle him into the water!" I ran into the water before it came out. The girls giggled, all three of them. But that was not the start of my troubles.

"Hey, Brad, I might have a bit of company. The funny thing is, I was mistaken for you. It was a kid named Shawn, and he started following me over here." Said Neji.

I groaned, when he came through the shrubs. I was getting angry. Shawn then took off his shirt and jumped in my pond. I never invited them!

"That's it," I muttered "Go, Sky, Saber, let's play! Sky, use gust again, and Saber, spin around in the water really fast and create a whirlpool!"

They obeyed, and the girls and Shawn got trapped in a big whirlpool. I fell down laughing. I should run, before it stops. So I ran home, Sky and Saber laughing behind me.

Erin's PoV

I watched as Brad ran off, only I was trapped in a whirlpool, so I couldn't kill him. I take back what I said yesterday. I do. He is really immature. I'll get him back. Me, Kathryn, Shawn, and Neji will get him, while his guard is down. Heh, I might get him back today. But I have to carefully orchestrate this plan. I have to find him first. He probably went to his house, so I'll start there.

I ran up to my mom and hugged her. I had missed her all of my trip, and I was waiting to see her again. She started to cook a big meal. I told her Neji, Erin, and a couple of friends I met would be coming over, so she cooked enough for a battalion. Poor Mom. Just then, Erin came through the door, dry, folowed by everyone else. I gulped. This was trouble. I crossed my finger, hoping Mom would do something. It happened.

"Hi, Neji! How's your mom doing?"

"Oh, she's fine, Aunt Marry! Perfect!

"That's good to know." My mom said, and turned around to cook. Just as she started to turn, I ran up the stairs and locked my door. It was gonna be a while.
