So get on with the story!
Chapter 3: Say WHAT?
(Maple Sisters)
Now the Maple Sisters are heading over to their Hearthome Mansion in their limo. "Like, we did not even agree to the song!" May exploded.
"Humph! Not to mention the shoot!" Misty huffed, glaring at Amelia, who was smiling weakly. "You are not the only one who is annoyed!" Dawn snapped.
Amelia nodded, "Like, you guys (Dawn, Misty, May) only needs to go for the shoot like, one or two days. But what about me? I have to see them more than you do!"
"Why oh why must Claire sabotage us?" May wailed. "Um...I don't think Claire knows our past..." Dawn muttered.
'I'm missing you so much, can't help it I'm in love. A day without you –' Amelia phone rang. Amelia checks the caller ID.
"Hello?" Amelia said into the phone. Claire, she mouthed to the rest.
(Italics is Amelia, bold is Claire.)
"Hey Amelia! Anyways, I thought I should give you a little briefing about the song."
"Ooh...Great!"
Amelia tried to sound enthusiastic. But sadly...FAILED MISERABLY.
"Claire laughs Great that you sound so enthusiastic! (Amelia's mouth dropped open) Tomorrow, you guys would go to the Hearthome Studio, Heart and Soul. There, you would get the lyrics. You guys would need to sing them together a few times. After recording a perfect song, you guys need to do the video!"
Amelia gagged. The rest shot her a strange look. Amelia mouthed, oh no, things are going from bad to worse!
Misty's mouth dropped open. Dawn frown. May snorted.
"Heh heh...But um...May and Misty got concerts at different places at about lunch time and after dinner time. And Dawn needs to go for her movie shoot. While I need to go for my own photo shoot."
"I know! You guys are free to go to all your, um, whatever stuff. But once you guys are done, you guys need to rush back to Heart and Soul. Cya tomorrow!"
"What happen?" May want to know. Amelia swallowed, "Um...Tomorrow we need to go to Heart and Soul to record the song. And to do the MV."
The rest nodded. "That's that?" Dawn questioned. "Yup. But Claire said that we need to rush back once we finish our concert/shoot/movie."
"Sigh...I'm not really happy to face them." Misty shudder. "Like, it is so awkward!" Amelia sighed.
(Boyztown...)
"OH! Why must we do this?" Drew grumbled. "How would I know?" Ash replied. "You know, back then, it was so nice. But now, we got all those stupid superstar duties...Make me kinda guilty." Justin said thoughtfully.
Paul growled, "Not like feeling guilty is gonna help in our case."
Ash sighed, "I guess we better hope that everything runs smoothly so that we can get over this deal."
"And, the next time, I'm not gonna agree to the deal if I see anything to do with Maple." Drew said drily. The rest look at him, bug eye, "You think we don't know that by now?" They said in unison.
(Back to the time of the concert... Mystery people)
"Humph! So the Maple Sisters and the Boyztown are gonna do a recording together." A brunette sniffed.
"And from the data we gather, it seems to me that Boyztown and Amelia Maple would do a shoot together. But the other sisters might join for a day or two." A red head said, looking at the papers in her hands.
"And it appears to be that Boyztown and Maple Sisters happened to be somewhat in love with each other back when they are in high school." A guy said, smirking.
"So this is the perfect time to strike!" Another guys said.
The blonde sniggered, "Yup. Killing two birds in one stone. Plus, revenge."
(The next day...Maple Mansion in Hearthome. At the breakfast table.)
"So girls. You guys need to get going to the recording with Boyztown. Right after your breakfast, please get change. Then we would be on our way." Their butler, Sebastian said calmly.
May growled as she stuffed herself with pancakes.
Misty rolled her eyes. She couldn't believe that they have to walk towards the plank of doom...
Amelia sighed. She really is not looking forward to it.
Dawn kept jiggling, drinking her vitamin water. Guess she had too much maple syrup with her pancakes.
(Amelia's POV)
I ran to my room once I finished my breakfast. Gosh...I thought. What to wear? I must look presentable. Professional... I kept reminding myself.
My Pokémon, were all confused at my actions. I guess I could not blame them, since I was pacing around the room.
Delcatty purred, before using its tail to... give me a tight slap. The rest of the Pokémon looked shock. Azuril gave the rest a nod. I guess Azuril had told the rest of the Pokémon about what happened yesterday since Azuril was the only one, out of all my Pokémon, that was with me the whole time.
I stared at Delcatty. Sigh...She is right. I shouldn't let them, affect my work.
I quickly got changed into a soft purple skirt that stop mid thigh and a tight sliver sleeveless shirt. For the finishing look, I put on my solid black denim jacket and pushed my hair back with a skinny gold head band.
Since my manicure and pedicure is still okay, I started to pack my bags.
(May's POV)
Tut tut tut... Professional...ARGH! How I wish I could go in my pyjamas! It is much more comfortable after all.
Blaziken make a tut tut tut noise and pointed at my pyjamas. Beautifly flew into the walk in closet and somehow managed to pick up my red tube top and dropped it in my face.
I nodded. Beautifly was telling me that I need to move on, no matter how difficult it is. I chose black skinny jeans to go with it. Of course, I can't forget my bandana.
Blaziken snickered, "Like, Beautifly, aren't you excited to see Masquerain?" The rest of May's Pokémon snickered while Beautifly protested.
(Dawn's POV)
"AHH! PACHIRISU! LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!" I cried. I need to seriously rush to get change...put on my make up... etc... And Pachirisu had struck again! This is seriously getting too old!
"Piplup, could you help me?" I sighed. Piplup nodded before using bubblebeam. On me. Now my clothes are wet. But at the very least, my hair is presentable.
As I was choosing my clothes, I said through telepathy to Amelia, Do you think we should look super glamorous? Amelia's replied instantly, hmm...up to you. I'm not going to dress too casually though. Since I got an interview later for another magazine.
Ta Da! My look is complete! Okay, almost. I wore a pink mini skirt paired with a baby blue halter top. Of course, I'm not going to forget my golden clips that were usually secured in my navy blue hair. And I'm not leaving the house without a white crop jacket.
(Misty's POV)
"Golduck! Golduck!" My Golduck quaked loudly, pointing towards my walk in closet. "Yeah yeah...I know..." I sighed.
Apparently, I prefer to wear a yellow tank top underneath a translucent shirt. I wore faded denim shorts. Unfortunately, my Pokémon do not find them appealing at all for a recording.
"Oh Latias...Why must I dress up anyways?" I grumbled. Somehow, Corsola managed to pick up my necklace. Oh yeah...The aquamarine one. "Oh well...I might as well wear this." I gave in.
"MISTY! ARE YOU READY?" Dawn yelled.
"COMING!" I shouted.
In the limo... (Misty's POV)
"Hi Girls!" Claire chirped.
"Hi..." The Maple Sisters moodily mumbled.
Claire raised her eyebrows at the Sisters attitude. But she decided not to question more due to err...some past experience.
(Flashback)
Before a concert...
"Come on May! It is really good! You should write a song about your freshman year, senior year, etc! The crowd would LOVE it!
"NOOOO! Not going to happen for a million years!" May whined, hiding behind a stage prop.
"May. You gotta do it! It is a really great idea!" Claire snapped, obviously not about to give up. "NO. NO. NO." May say stubbornly.
"By the way, I think it is time we round up your high school friends and you and Misty do a private concert for them." Claire added thoughtfully.
"WHAT? NO FREAKING WAY!" May screamed. The entire audience was silent.
Oh no...Claire thought.
(Flashback ends)
I snapped, "I really wonder how are we gonna make it for the rest of our activities." "That's right." Dawn agrees. "I need to get back to Lilycove for the movie you know."
"What about me? I need to head over to Johto for another concert!" May say sulkily. "Humph. I have an interview plus some modelling to do in Mosdeep City. Since we have so many things to do, why don't we push this song to like, six months later?" Amelia suggested, a smile tugging her face.
"Yeah! That's a fantastic idea!" Dawn cheered loudly. May and I both brightened up at the idea.
I tried to convince Claire before she could say a single word out. "You know, six months later, we do not have anything on."
Claire frowned, "I would really like that."
May make a small 'yes' gesture behind Claire and the rest grinned.
"But unfortunately, the fans and producers expect it to be out in around one month or so." Claire said.
Our faces fell.
"And, fans had already started pre ordering the combo album!" Claire continued cheerfully, thinking about how much money she can make.
Our mouth dropped.
"H- Hey! Wait a minute!" Amelia said, pointing her fingers accusingly at Claire. "You did not tell us ANYTHING about the album! And even so, can we push the modelling thing to six months later?" Amelia looks at us hopefully.
"Hmm. I think that can be done. All of us need some down time. How about we go on a holiday?"
Just as Claire's phone beeped, Amelia said through telepathy to us, at least there is one thing we can push. Better than nothing you know.
Claire's face fell.
I replied, it better be good news.
"Oh dear, I'm afraid we can't push after all." BAM! There goes our happy mood.
"WHY?" May demanded.
"Oh. 'Cause Lance just messaged me that he had pasted posters all around the regions stating that all the CDs would have posters and postcards from the photo shoot. Plus, there are five special passes that grant the person to 'Arriving and Departing in Style' premiere." Came the reply.
"WHAT?" The Sisters yelled.
"Hey! This is clearly going way-"I started to say.
"Hmm...We are here girls! Enjoy!" Said Claire, narrowly avoiding the Maple Sister's rant. "Humph!" I grumbled, glaring at Claire.
(In the Heart and Soul Studio...) (Still in Misty's POV)
"Oh! You girls are here! I'm Blake Williams. This is my daughter, Cornelia Williams." A man in his 40's said. A pretty blonde nodded.
Amelia's eyes went wide. "Cornelia? As in the Cornelia from Hearthome High?" Cornelia's eyes popped. "WHAT? SO YOU ARE THE SAME MAPLE SISTERS FROM HIGH SCHOOL?"
"Corn...Do not be so rude. I'm sorry Miss Maple; my daughter really does need to re learn her manners." Mr Williams said politely. "Oh. Um...No problem. We know her during our senior year you see. Hee hee..." Mumbled May.
Cornelia flipped her hair and reached into her handbag. She pulled out a phone and started calling one of her friends.
"Hello Megan?" Cornelia sighed loudly into the phone.
"Yeah. It is those annoying Maple Losers again."
I told my sisters, "Do not worry. We are the ones who are famous. She is the one serving us. Not the other way round."
-Half an hour later...-
Amelia grumbled, "Gosh! Where are the Boyztown? They are tres late!" Dawn checked the time and groaned, "We've already memorized our parts of the song. They better come in the next five minutes!"
"I need to go for a concert soon." May told Mr Williams and a grumpy Cornelia. "Oh dear. I guess you better go now. I doesn't look as if the Boyztown are gonna appear soon."
Dawn stood up, "I better go too. I need to freshen up my make up before the shoot for the movie."
I said, "I have to sing a few songs with May. So I need to go." Amelia jumped to her feet. "My interview!" And with that, Amelia rushed out of the room.
Mr Williams groaned to Claire, "Boyztown seriously have time management." Claire nodded, glancing at the Sister's retreating backs.
Cornelia smirked and concentrated on re applying her makeup.
(With the Boyztown...)
"ARGH!" Ash cried, thumping his fist against the glass window. "Careful Ash, do not break the glass." Lance chided.
"We are late for the song!" Drew snapped impatiently. "Who tell you to check your hair so much until you delay us?" Paul snapped back.
"Well, how would I know that the limo tyre would be flat?" Drew shot back. "Humph! I bet it is Justin who caused the tyre to be flat!" Paul muttered angrily. "What do you mean? I have nothing to do with the flat tyre!" Justin yelled.
"SHUT UP!" Lance bellowed.
Drew mumbled, "Sorry." Justin said, "I shouldn't have yelled." Paul grumbled, "It is all because of the silly flat tyre." Ash grinned sheepishly.
"What?" Paul demanded. Ash whispered, "Um...I might have made it flat when I was practising with my Pokémon."
The rest of the Boyztown's heads sharply snapped to glare at Ash.
"Oh. Here we are!" Lance cried, relieved.
(At the Heart and Soul Studio...) (Normal POV)
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY HAVE LEFT ALREADY?" Paul yelled at Mr Williams before he could introduce himself. "Oh now sweetie..." Cornelia crooned, trying to touch Paul. Unfortunately for her (And fortunately to Dawn...), Paul smacked her hands away.
Cornelia looked hurt but Paul doesn't seem to notice. (DUH!)
"Then we are outta here." Paul stated before heading out.
Cornelia snapped into her phone, "Tut tut tut, they still hadn't changed."
"I see. I guess it would change really fast. Hmm...It actually depends on you people." A mysterious voice on the other end chuckled.
Alright! BAM!
Who are the mysterious people?
What is Cornelia and Megan's roles in this fic?
Are the rest of the sluts (Candy and Apple) going to appear?
Do you guys think I should write longer chapters?
Which people are going to fall in love first?
