Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon. I only own…. Nothing! D: I don't own "She's the Competition" by Dragonette either…

Gomenasai! *bows* I kept forgetting to write a new chapter! But I'm writing! I'm writing!

BTW… I'm probably ruining your personalities in this chapter…. You guys are going to be kinda OOC, so try not to kill me :P I'm just doing fan-service! And, of course, fulfilling Arman's request! (I thought of how to do it within seconds, with the music I was listening to. Bow down to me! MUAHAHAHA! I'm awesome!)

The wind blew through my hair.

I loved sitting on rooftops. Especially at night. It's so dramatic and mysterious… Speaking of mysterious, I pulled out the iPod I stole from my brother a LONG time ago and put on "She's the Competition" by Dragonette. It's an easy song to hum to, since I don't know all the lyrics.

She's got no idea what you've been doing
No idea what you've been doing
You've been living dangerous,
Trying to keep it just our secret.

Psst pass it on, come on and pass it on,
Psst pass it on, come on and pass it on…

That song reminds me of what my life is like right now. I don't think anyone realizes that Kat, Kevin, Jossie, Justinian, Armelion, and I have disappeared. They have no clue what we're doing right now, no clue what we're going through. Broken limbs, broken minds, and broken senses of humor… And soon, someone's going to realize what's happening. Whether it be our parents or our friends, someone is going to notice. And they're going to "pass it on" to the police…

Goodness, I like this,
Mysterious mistress,
Keeping it hush hush,
Try not to blush blush.

I just can't stop this,
It's risky business,
Being your mistress.
Keepin' it hush.

Without realizing, I started singing the chorus out loud. "Your girlfriend's the competition~ She's the competition~ Your girlfriend's th-"

"Whose girlfriend?"

Startled, I turned around and found myself staring at Armelion.

"Hey." I nodded, slightly unaffected by his sudden appearance, as he came to sit down next to me, a cup of coffee in his hand.

"'Sup."

"Nothing much. You?"

"In extreme need of a computer."

I laughed loudly, pulling out an earplug and handing it to him. "You want?"

"Sure." He took the little device and stuck it in his ear.

You're keeping me out all night long,
We eat at fancy restaurants.
Giving me what your girlfriend wants.
Somebody's gonna pass it on.

Buy me new jewelry,
We're holding hands back in the street.
You better learn to be discreet,
If you wanna keep it just our secret.

Goodness, I like this,
It's risky business.
Being your mistress,
Keeping it hush.

"Your girlfriend's the competition~ She's the competition~" I sang out loud, since the chorus was the only lyrics I knew.

"Your girlfriend's the competition~ Goodness I like this~" Armelion joined in too, and since his voice wasn't as low as a normal fourteen-year-old's should be, our voices blended together…

…to create some really sad, nasty, crappy noises that no human should ever be subject to hear. This kind of noise would have made a Giratina cower in fear. It would've cut our opponent's defense by half. It had a 99% of a one-hit KO. Even Pokemon with the ability Soundproof (Ignores all voice attacks. Ex/ Hyper Voice, Screech) would have fainted. Even a Spiritomb with Wonderguard (Only takes damage from Super-Effective hits) from hacks would have been affected. That's how bad out singing was.

Both of us suddenly burst out laughing, realizing that our singing ability was zero.

"Wow, we suck," Armelion finally panted out between laughs.

"We suck donkey balls when it comes to singing," I agreed, wiping away tears. I then attempted to imitate our previous singing.

"Your girlfriend's the competition~ She's the competition~ Your girlfriend's the com-"

I stopped abruptly as soon as I heard a sniffle from the rooftop door. Both of us turned our heads, just in time to catch the dull glow of brown hair and light brown skin.

We sat there, frozen. What made my ninja comrade cry like that? Why did she run away from us? I turned over to repeat my thoughts to Armelion, I realized how close his face was. When I shifted my hand, it passed over his.

"…crap," I mumbled, angling my eyes down and pulling my hand back.

"…agreed," Armelion muttered, turning away from me.

"I honestly hope that was a Jossie clone."

"Me too."

I began to stand up to run after Jossie and tell her what was going on, but stopped when I realized what I was singing.

Your girlfriend's the competition,
She's the competition,
Your girlfriend's the competition.
Goodness I like this,
Being your secret mistress.

…double crap. It really sounded like Armelion and I were in a relationship. Eerily so.

"Shit," we mumbled at the same time. I turned over and gave him a sad stare into his brown eyes.

"She's not going to be convinced," he whispered.

"I know," I replied.

"It doesn't help that we're known each other for a long time," he continued.

"I know," I repeated.

"What are we going to do?"

"I don't know…"


Breakfast next morning was silent.

Jossie wasn't talking to me, since she still thought that I was in a relationship with Armelion. Kevin was still pissed at the prank I pulled off earlier. Justin wasn't up yet. Kaatrina was outside training her Starly. Armelion was attempting to talk to Jossie. And me? I was sitting there, trying to start a conversation with Kevin, but failing miserably.

The only good thing was that they had crepes for breakfast. With Nutella. I've only had it once, but I've already gotten addicted to it.

After about three bites into my crepe, Justin came down to the breakfast area.

"Um…hi?" He glanced around awkwardly, noting the silence, before taking a seat next to Kevin.

I nodded glumly in his direction, and Kevin showered him with his famous "Uchiha death glare". Jossie and Armelion just downright ignored him, still stuck in their own little world.

"What's happening? Everything was fine yesterday…" Justin gave me a look that clearly demanded answers.

I sighed, quickly finished the rest of my crepe, and beckoned him outside, just as Kat was making her way inside.

"Hey! How was breakfast?" Her cheeriness was met with my own death glare, dubbed "Byakuya death glare".

"Out. Now," I growled. Her happiness just pissed me off right there. How could she grin and act as if nothing's wrong, when our little band of friends is crumbling?

"…something wrong?"

"No shit, Sherlock." I grabbed her wrist and pulled her outside, Justin following.

When we made a decent way away from the Pokemon Center, Kevin was with us too.

"What happened?" Justin asked, wanting to know why he was following u.

"Those two assholes got into a fight." He sighed. "And I want to know what's going on too."

"Alright." I nodded. "You guys know why Kevin's mad at me, obviously." I graced Justin and Kat with my "Byakuya death glare", as Kevin did the same with his "Uchiha death glare". They laughed nervously, until Kat asked, "But what about Armelion and Jossie? They were find yesterday… They took pictures too!"

I sighed. This is where the complicated part came in. I quickly summed up what happened yesterday night on the rooftop, starting with my obsession with sitting on rooftops at night, all the way to Jossie's intrusion on our private singing night.

"So Jossie's pissed like hell at me, and Armelion has practically made it clear that he doesn't want to talk to until this mess is cleared up." I sighed again. I've been sighing a lot lately…

After a long pause, Kevin announced, "We need to get them back together."

"Smart, Captain Obvious. How did you ever figure that out?" I muttered out. Then, I realized exactly what my rival had said. "Wait, they are together still, aren't they?"

"Yeah, they still are. But I have a feeling that Jossie's going to break up with Armelion soon if he can't explain everything properly," he replied.

"And we know how stubborn Jossie is when she's sure about something…" Kat agreed.

"And we know how bad Armelion is at explaining," Justin added.

We all stood there in silence, the impact of the situation hitting us square in the face.

"Let's go back…" Kat started walking back to the Pokemon Center, and the rest of us naturally followed.


We soon reached the Pokemon Center and were greeted with loud screams of anger and fear.

"I'm not going in there." I stepped back slightly.

"Me neither," Justin, Kevin, and Kat said at the same time.

We gave each other awkward stares at the screaming grew louder. What the hell was going on in there?

"W-well, ladies first," Justin said, pushing Kaatrina forward.

"Carmen's a girl too!" she argued weakly, attempting to resist.

"I'm male enough. I'll go in after you, alright?" I attempted at a sweet smile, but failed.

Our dilemma was solved when the door swung open and a crying Jossie dashed out, straight into Kaatrina.

"Josephine!" I cried, using her given name. "Are you alright?" I crouched down, trying to help her, but she slapped me off.

"It's your fault, Carmen!" she screamed. I staggered back, stung by her harsh words and action. "You never should have gotten Armelion and me together! I bet you were just playing me for the fool, huh? I bet you've always liked him, and you just wanted a laugh! I hate you!" She screeched in anger, cracking down into sobs.

"Jossie!" Armelion came dashing out. "I told you, it's not what it was! Carmen and I were just having fun!"

"Yeah, that's what you guys were doing! Having fun playing with my feelings!"

"No, no, I mean, having fun listening to music!"

On the sidelines, Justin, Kat, Kevin, and I were staring at the bickering couple in shock.

"He really sucks at explaining," Kevin muttered.

"I told you so…" Justin sighed.

"And Jossie's really stubborn…" I mumbled.

"Told you," Kat replied.

I kept staring at Armelion and Jossie in shock, amazement, and sadness. Shock because of Jossie's harsh words, amazement because of how easily she lost trust in me, and sadness because she lost trust in me. Their arguing voices were a pale background to the sound of blood rushing past my ears.

Can't you see, Josephine? You're fooling yourself…

Suspense! DUN DUN DUN!

Arman, I hope you're happy. This was tough to write… Since I had to twist Jossie's character SOO much!

Review, y'all! You too, Alan!
