Dawn: Didn't the author promise 1-2 hours?
May: The author always keeps her promises. Anyway, you'll see how truly brilliant and persistent I am in this chapter.
Drew: -rolls eyes- You seriously think you're brilliant?
May: Fuck off.
Misty: Watch your mouth!
May: Nevermind. Alecxtheparawhore doesn't own Pokemon or any of it's characters.
Dawn's POV
I wake up the next morning. The sunlight streams in through the windows and it's menacingly cold for September.
I suddenly remember last nights events. My heart is heavy and my head hurts like crazy. I get out of bed and see Misty still asleep. I gently shake her awake.
Her eyes begin to flutter open. "What time is it?" She asks me.
"7 AM. Our first class stars at 8:30 and you take quite a while to prepare." I tell her.
I sit on her bed as she sits up. "I miss Amy already." She says.
I hug her and rub her back as tears begin to flow from her eyes. "Me too."
I take a shower and put on a white skirt, powder blue blouse and white sandals. I put my usual two yellow barettes in my hair.
I come out of the room and see Misty already prepared for school wearing a yellow halter top, jeans, yellow sneakers and her hair in the usual side ponytail. We both put on make-up to make sure that both our tears are hidden.
Once we see May however, she didn't make any effort at all to hide that she'd been crying. She's wearing a red tank top, black jeans, black sneakers, her hair was in a bandana but her face is completely tear stained and her eyes are still puffy and red.
"Are you okay May?" Misty asks her as we walk to class.
"Is that question really necessary?" I ask Misty.
"Guys, don't worry about me." May says and goes off to class alone.
"Great job Misty." I say sarcastically.
She glares at me and we walk to class.
May's POV
I put on a leather jacket that I'm hiding in my olive green bag. I go to HQ and storm into Reggie's office.
"Nice to see you're looking a bit better." Reggie says but I could see that he was still eyeing my tear stained face.
"I need you to help me." I tell him and he sits straighter. We both know that I never ask favors unless I really need or want to.
"What is it May?" He asks me.
"I need to hire a group of agents Reggie." I say to him.
His eyes widen. "For what?"
"To help me avenge Amy." I tell him.
"May, we both know the goal of Well & Good is to improve the planet." He says but I shake my head.
"Then consider it a favor for all the years I was bossed around by you and the employers." I protest.
"This is no joke May. Where would you even get the funds?" He asks.
"From Liza and Jack of course. I think they'd be very pleased to know I'd like to avenge their daughter." As much as I loved them, I still call them those names.
Reggie lets out a sigh. "Do you want Max to be your tech?"
That means a definite yes. I smile at him and nod. "My brother's the best tech in the agency. Hurry up with the information and I'll hurry with the money."
Reggie shakes his head. "I'll provide the funds for that. Who are you taking with you?"
"Misty, Drew, Ash, Paul and Dawn." I answer him.
"Listen here May, Dawn hasn't been provided with training yet." He says.
"I'll give her the basic training in persuasion, shooting and disguise." I tell him.
That seems to convince him because he merely nods.
"Bring everyone here tonight. Including Dawn. You'll begin training her tonight." He tells me.
I nod, exit HQ and go back to school knowing that I just missed first period.
"You're late Ms. Maple." Mrs. Garbag announces as I enter the classroom before the test begins. Add an E after her name and you'll know what she really is.
"I'm sorry Mrs. Garbag, I needed to take care of business." I tell her as I take a seat beside Drew.
As I sit down beside him, he passes me a note. I open it and read, "Where were you? I was getting pretty concerned."
I write, "Aww, poor Drew is getting concerned about me? You'll find out tonight."
He gives me a look saying, "What the fuck are you talking about?"
I smirk and start writing on my test paper. He then takes a rose out of his bag and puts it on my table while Mrs. Garbag isn't looking.
I stare at it and find another piece of paper inside it. It contains a poem.
May, you might not know this
You make me feel an endless bliss
You're the one person who changed me
Made me see what I can really be
I know you hate me like crazy
Once, you even pushed me out a tree
But there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here with you, heart filled with glee.
I don't know what it means but I intend to find out.
May: Um, was that last part really called for?
Drew: -gulps- Did you like it?
May: -starts drawing circles on the floor with her toes- Well, yeah.
Dawn: You guys need to express your feelings.
Paul: And you need to stop expressing yours.
Dawn: -rolls eyes- Well, next chapter in the next couple of hours. The author wants you guys to review. LIKE NOW.
