Of Course it happens to me!

I got nothing to say but that I've got only three reviews for this story. WHY?

Disclaimer: I do not own Paul, Reggie or any of the Pokémon. I just own Sam, Emily, and Vivian.

Chapter 4

For about the rest of that week, I slept and listened to Reggie's stories. I was lucky the third time I woke up because my sisters woke up too. I was so happy to see that they were okay. Being the oldest now, I've got to love all of them equally well. I told Reggie that my sisters were twins but he didn't believe it. I could see why though. Vivian was a happy child who loved the color pink. Emily, on the other hand, could only wish that she got the deepest blacks or reds. She even had her lip pierced. The nurse who had been taking care of us came in on Saturday. She told us that we could leave by that afternoon. My sisters were overjoyed by this news. However, one thought crossed my mind before it crossed theirs. I thought about it for about an hour before it ate away at me so much I felt I had to scream it to the world. So I told my sisters and the company in our room my thought.

"Girls. I'm happy we get to leave and everything but there's just one problem," I began.

"What's that?" Vivian asked.

"We have no place to go after this," I said.

I looked down at my now balled fists sadly. Mightyena came up beside my and nudged my hand. I carefully stroked her. I looked back up to my sisters. Emily was looking up at the ceiling with a sad look on her face. Vivian had her head in her lap, trying to mask her sadness from me. I smiled to myself. That's my little trooper and I taught her how to be strong. Back to the matter at hand though. My biggest concern is where we will go. We can't go back home. There's that summer beach house we have. Oh, but it got destroyed two summers ago. Shoot! Things are just not working out for me. I looked to Paul. Again he didn't seem to care. Did this guy do, like, anything nice? I sighed and turned my attention to Reggie. He had his finger under his chin. He was definitely thinking and I was wondering what about but I had my own worries to, well, worry about.

"I've got it!" I heard Reggie shout.

My thoughts ceased and I looked up at him. I realized that everyone, even Paul, was looking at him with anticipation. He smiled as everyone looked at him.

"You three can come stay with us," he said finally.

"But Reggie, we wouldn't want to impose. You're already trying to support Paul and his Pokémon. We would just a burden to you," I told Reggie sadly.

Reggie laughed at my statement. I was beginning to wonder that if being around Paul so much had made him crazy. Mightyena cocked her head in confusion. Don't worry girl, you're not the only one confused. Reggie finished laughing and took a minute to catch his breath before continuing again.

"I wouldn't mind at all. You three wouldn't be a burden. If fact it might be kind of fun to help support you three too!" he said happily.

"Perhaps. And I'm sure that Emily over there would like to learn more about breeding," I said looking over at my punk sister.

Emily let a smile turn her lips and lip ring into a smile. It warmed my heart to see to her smile again after such a long time. Maybe this would be good for us. I smiled in return.

"Alright Reggie, you're on. But if it doesn't work out for either of us we're leaving. Got it?" I told him.

He nodded his head and replied, "Got it."

Several hours later my sisters and I were getting the blood flow back into our legs by stepping in place. By four o' clock we were checking out of the hospital and leaving to head to Paul and Reggie's home. I'm feeling both complete worry and utter excitement. I took a couple of deep breaths while we were walking. Mightyena was walking beside me with her head in full Noctowl mode. Swiveling around trying to see everything there was to see in Velistone City. I reached down and pat her head when she was looking at a tall building. We soon reached a house with a white picket fence around it. The guys went into the gate. I guess this is their house. We walked with them into the medium sized house. We looked around when we were all inside. The living room was a nice place. A nice sized couch that could easily fit all of us on it. A large TV and coffee table right in front of it. Nice.

"Welcome to our home!" Reggie shouted.

The girls and I giggled and bowed in a mocking sort of way. Reggie laughed a bit as well.

"Okay," he said, clapping his hands, "we have three bedrooms up stairs. Paul and I occupy two so that leaves one left. It has a bed and dresser that could fit two people and their cloths. Someone is going to have to sleep down here on the couch. So who's sleepin' where?"

"I'll sleep down here. Vivian and Emily will sleep in the bed upstairs," I told him.

"Says who?" Vivian asked.

I turned, glared at her, and said, "I did."

She slowly moved behind Emily to avoid my glare. According to everyone I knew I have a special glare. It burns like the fires that Entei creates. It works wonders for me sometimes.

"Alright! Now that this whole sleeping arrangement is settled, how would you girls like to see all of the Pokémon that stay with us?" Reggie asked us.

"Sure!" Vivian replied.

"Whatever," Emily said with no emotion.

"Delightful," I replied simply.

He smiled and walked back out the door. We followed shortly after he began walking. I saw Paul out of the corner of my eye. He was glaring at my Mightyena, who was glaring back. I knew that if I left her here that things would start to get bloody.

"Come Mightyena!" I called quickly.

Her head jerked up at the sound of my voice. She bounded up and followed me at my heels until we were out the door. She walked calmly beside me as if nothing had happened between her and Paul just seconds before. Good girl! Mask your pain and anger for when you truly need it. Worked for me for years. Reggie whistled once and several Pokémon came running up and jumped up and down at his feet. Vivian immediately went up to a Marill.

"OH, AREN'T YOU THE CUTEST!" she cooed.

The Marill happily bounced at her feet in response to the compliment.

"May I pick it up?" she asked Reggie.

"Of course," he answered.

She smiled and picked the Marill up not a second later. She ran over and stopped in front of me, petting the young Marill.

"Oh, isn't it just the cutest Sammy?" she asked me.

"It's adorable V," I said.

Mightyena nudged my hand again. I looked down to her with questioning eyes. She looked up at me with Growlithe eyes. I almost 'awed' at the sight of her.

"But not as cute as you my sweet Mighty girl," I told her petting her at the same time.

She cried her name in response. I felt a presence come and stand behind me. Mightyena growled when she saw who it was. I didn't know who it was but they were approaching me. When they stood less than two feet away from me, I began to pet Mightyena again. She looked at me with confused eyes. I did a small and silent shush to get her to quiet down. She did so immediately. I watched the figure reach out a hand to me. I quickly grabbed the hand and flipped the figure over.

"OW!" it cried out.

My instincts immediately grew to worry as I saw who it was. All heads turned to me and the figure. It was Paul I had flipped.

"Oh my gosh! Paul I'm so sorry!" I apologized.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" he yelled at me.

My worry turned to anger when he said this.

"ARE YOU BLIND? YOU SNUCK UP BEHIND ME SO I ACTED OUT OF INSTICTS! AND I SAID I WAS SORRY! GRACIOUS! I THINK YOU JUST CAN'T TAKE THE FACT THAT I FLIPPED YOU OVER WITH EASE! AND I'M A GIRL!" I yelled back.

Paul looked taken aback by my yelling. I turned and began to stomp back to the house.

"C'MON MIGHTYENA!" I yelled.

Mightyena growled to Paul once more before following me back into the house. I sat down on the couch and sighed. I reached up and grabbed a few strands of my golden blond hair. I began to run my nails of both hands through the strands. I feel kinda bad for yelling at Paul like that but, hey, he deserved it. It would have been better for me to yell at him now than later. I felt another presence approach me. I sighed again.

"If you're gonna yell at me just don't make it a lecture," I said sadly.

I knew this wasn't going to work out. I heard chuckling beside me. I looked over to see Reggie standing next to me, smiling. I raised one of my eyebrows to signal I was lost as to why he was smiling. His smile widened.

"Nobody has ever stood up to Paul like that. I think he was quite impressed," he said.

I said nothing. He put an arm around me. I smiled at him lightly. He looked happy that I was happy.

"Now how 'bout you and Gardevior help me with dinner?" he asked.

"Sure," I said.

I then got up and ran to the kitchen to help with dinner.
