^_^ I really hope you like my story so far! Hm, after that kiss is Barry going to change forever? O_O I haven't thought of that! Let's hope not! ^_^
Disclaimer: I do not own Barry! (NO MATTER HOW AWESOME IT WOULD BE!) Or Hot 'N Cold by Katy Parry!
As the young couple made it to Anna's house, she quickly pecked him on the cheek, causing him to blush.
"I'll see you tomorrow, okay? Be there when I preform!"
She walked inside her house and shut the door, leaving an embarrased Barry on the doorstep.
"B-Bye..." he mumbled, walking off after noticing he was still there.
Inside
Belle was at the kitchen table, eating tuna fish for dinner, and noticed her daughter walking in.
"Welcome home, Anna! Did you have fun at the Twinleaf Festival?" she asked, seeing Anna was in some sort of trance.
"Oh yeah..." she said dreamily, "...a lot of fun..."
Belle raised an eyebrow, but still smiled.
"Go on up to bed. you look tired."
The teen agreed, slowly climbing the stairs and eventually reaching her room. She flopped down on her bed, changed into her PJ's, and fell into a deep sleep.
Tuesday
Anna turned over in her bed, her eyes fluttering open slowly. Bright sunlight poured in through her window, landing on her phone on the bedside table, which was vibraiting. She lazily picked up the phone, and read the cover. It was another text from Barry.
"Festival starts again in 15 minutes, stop by my house when you're ready to leave. -Barry"
She smiled.
"He didn't text in caps this time, surprising..." she said aloud, getting up from her bed.
Her mother had washed Anna's Glaceon outfit when she was sleeping, it was folded neatly on the foot of her bed. After changing into it, the burnette collected her six Poke'balls, and white messanger bag. After making sure she had everything, Anna walked downstairs. Anna's mother just walked out of her own room, and drank some water out of a bottle.
"Morning Mom..." she said, still in a dreamy mood.
"You're still in a good mood I see. Did anything exciting happen?" Belle asked, dragging out the word, 'exciting', to annoy her daughter.
It worked.
"N-No! I mean...nope."
Belle laughed a bit, "...you go have fun. Make sure you eat while you're out there, okay?"
Anna nodded and tried to stop her heart from beating so fast.
Alright, Anna...deep breath...no need to get crazy about a kiss...
After taking several deep breaths, she walked outside.
Outside
Anna instantly spotted Barry leaning against his house, Empoleon hat on, along with his scarf, brown messanger bag, and regular outfit. He saw Anna, and casually waved.
"Your Dad getting on you too?" She laughed, knowing Palmer could be nosy.
Barry sighed, "...You have no idea. Right when I walked through the door he was all, 'Did you kiss her?' Guess how I responded..."
Anna laughed, "...'Uh...I well...uh...' then you blushed like a tomato."
Berry blushed a bit, trying to cover his face with his hair, "..yeah..."
"Haha, you're cute when you blush! Don't try covering it up!"
That only increased his blush, and he smiled nervously.
"Are you ready to go?"
"You bet..." she responded happily, grabbing his hand.
"Ha, I was gonna do that!"
"I know...hey! I should let White out!"
While the two were walking hand-in-hand, Anna took her Poke'ball out. She pressed the button in the middle and let her Glaceon out, who began walking with them.
"How are you doing, White?" she asked, feeling bad for putting Glaceon in the ball again.
"Gla, gla, ceon!" ("Great! But not as great as you two!")
Anna blushed, being the only one to understand what Glaceon was saying.
"Oh...the festival's coming into view! Better let Empoleon out!"
Barry pulled out his red and white ball and clicked the button. Empoleon appeared in a flash of light.
"Poleon!" ("FRESH AIR!")
"It seems like you haven't let him out in a while!" Anna remarked, noticing they entered the festival.
"Heh...what do you think we should do today?" Barry asked, completely changing the subject.
"Hm..." Anna thought for a moment, "...I don't have to preform for another hour, so...why don't you sign up for something?"
Barry thought about what the Twinleaf Festival had to offer.
"Um...they have Poke'mon Battles, games, and...load of other things, I think I might just wait until after your preformence."
Anna checked her phone.
"OH! We have to go now if I'm going to get on that stage!"
Anna tightened her grip on Barry's hand and made a mad run for the stage.
"Hello everyone!" a man in a bow tie said, "...we are going to start our Twinleaf Talent Show! If everyone who had signed up, could please make their way to the stage!"
"Go...I'm sure you'll be great!" Barry kissed her check and pushed her forward.
Glaceon followed Anna from behind and they eventually made it to the stage.
"Alright, Miss...uh..." the man started, giving Anna the hint to give her name.
"Anna Saylor, sir."
"ANNA SAYLOR! She's going to preform...uh..." he spoke into the mic, not knowing what Anna was preforming.
She handed him a CD and said, "...Just put in this CD!"
"You've got it!"
As the man put the CD in, Anna felt extreamly nervous. She looked down at the crowd and saw Barry, cheering her on. Glaceon was jumping up and down in excitment. Anna took a deep breath as the music started. She took the mic, took another breath, and began to sing.
You...change your mind,
like a girl, changes clothes.
Yeah, you...PMS like a bitch,
I would know.
You, I would think,
always speak,
crecticly.
I should know,
that you're no good
for me!
("Glaceon, Hail!)
Glaceon stood on her heels and span. The clouds above became slightly dark and snow began to fall and sparkle beautifully onto the stage. After a few moments, it was covered by a thin blanket of snow. The crowd had begun to clap and hollar at Anna. She felt her stage fright melt away, and Anna began to dance to the pop music.
'Cause you're hot 'n you're cold,
you're yes then you're no,
you're in then you're out,
you're up, then you're down.
You're wrong when it's right,
it's black and it's white.
We fight, we break up,
we kiss we make up!
("Glacoen, Attract on the snow!")
Glaceon began to glow pink, and faced up in the direction of the snow. Sure enough, parts of the snow clashed together, creating clear hearts that glowed pink inside. The hearts continued falling like snow, exploding with pink a bit as they hit the ground. Barry was cheering the loudest of all for his girlfriend, proud of her.
You! You don't really wanna stay, no!
You! But you don't really wanna go-o!
You're hot 'n you're cold,
you're yes then you're no,
you're in then you're out,
you're up then you're down...
Before long, the audiance had gotten into the music as well. Some of the hearts floated off the stage and exploded on some of the people. Barry started dancing badly, but didn't care what others thought.
We...used to be,
just like twins, so in sync
The same...energy...
now's a dead...battery.
Used to laugh, 'bout nothing,
Now you're plain...boring.
I should know,
that you're not gonna change...
'Cause you're hot 'n you're cold,
You're yes then your no,
You're in then you're out,
You're up then your down,
You're wrong when it's right,
It's black and it's white,
We fight, we break up,
We kiss, we make up.
Barry smiled while watching Anna, feeling a large amount of difference since he met her.
You! You don't really wann stay, no.
You! But, you don't really wanna go-o,
You're hot 'n you're cold,
You're yes then you're no,
You're in then you're out,
You're up then you're down...
Someone call the docter!
Got a case of love bi-polar!
Stuck on, a rollercoaster!
Can't get off this ride...
("Okay, White! Our time to shine!")
"Gla!" ("ALRIGHT!")
Glaceon jumped beside her trainer and began to mimic her dance moves. The crowd had gathered closer to the stage. Little children had attempted to catch the hearts, only to have them pop in their faces. It was obvious everyone was enjoying her singing.
You...change your mind...
like a girl, changes clothes...
'Cause you're hot 'n your're cold,
your yes then your no,
you're in then your out,
your up then your down,
your wrong when it's right,
it's black and it's white,
we fight, we break up,
we kiss, we make up...
'Cause you're hot 'n your're cold,
your yes then your no,
you're in then your out,
your up then your down,
your wrong when it's right,
it's black and it's white,
we fight, we break up,
we kiss, we make up...
You! You don't really wann stay, no.
You! But, you don't really wanna go-o,
'Cause you're hot 'n your're cold,
your yes then your no,
you're in then your out,
your up then your down, down, down, down...
As the music faded into the mic, men, woman and children exploded into applause. All sorts of flowers littered the stage as Anna and Glaceon bowed several times.
"Thank you! Thanks to everyone! But...I wouldn't have gotten up here if it wasn't for a very special friend of mine..."
The audiance quieted down, looking from side to side, trying to find out her the special friend was. Barry's heart skipped a beat.
She's reconising me?
"Get up here Barry...you need some love to!" Anna bent down and held her hand out.
Barry excitedly made his way to the front of the stage. He took Anna's hand, allowing her to help him up. She hugged Anna, happy he was on stage. Glaceon nuzzled Barry's leg in affection.
"Well...I've got to get home now so-"
The bow tie man came back, and snatched the microphone.
"Well...it's clear who's our winner here! Anna Saylor, for being in first place, you will receive this egg! Take good care of it now!"
Anna took the egg happily. Barry picked up a dozen roses from the stage and followed her down the stairs.
"Wanna go home...? It's getting kinda dark, Barry..." she shuttered from the wind picking up.
Barry and Anna returned their Poke'mon. Barry nodded.
"This was fun! I knew you could do it, Anna! I felt it!"
"Thanks Barry...come on...Mom's got dinner waiting."
Anna and Barry took each other's hands, and walked to Anna's house.
Anna's house
The couple walked through the door, forgetting to drop hands. Anna's mother was eating her dinner, and noticed the two walking in. She giggled a bit, seeing the two holding hands. Anna and Barry blushed, letting each other go.
"Hi, it's nice to finally meet you!" Belle beamed getting a good look at the boy.
"Uh...you too Ms. Saylor!"
"Oh please! That makes me feel old, call me Belle or Mom!" she insisted, smiling.
'Alright, uh...Belle!"
Belle and Barry shook hands.
"Are you two going to go up to your room?'
Anna shrugged, "I guess. Come on Barry, let's go."
After the two went upstairs, Belle sighed and said,
"Ah...young love..." and returned to her dinner.
^_^ This gets cuter every chapter! So...Anna has won an Egg! Hm...what could be inside? I'M LEAVING THAT UP TO YOU! It has to a rare Poke'mon thought, and I don't mean legendaries! Just rares, like a Togepi or Trapinch or something like that!
