Last time on Crystal Guardians:

"Now why did you do it Andy? Why did you put your Spinarak in me bathroom eh?" Musa questioned Andy. "W…ww…well I just thought—" Andy started to say but Musa interrupted. "You thought what!" she yelled. "You just thought that I would just enjoy being scared to death."

"Even if you did somehow die or stop breathing. I'm pretty sure Sky could possibly save your life and you'll be fine and have him as a boyfriend again." Andy smirked.

"What did you say? Musa and Sky used to DATE!" I yelled then instantly covered my mouth and slammed the bathroom door. I am in deep trouble.

Erin's P.O.V. 7:21 a.m.

Hiding in a bathtub would probably be one of the most embarrassing things that have ever happened to me, but since I'm hiding from Musa Lockhart I have good reason to be here. I heard the bathroom door open and Plusle and I scrunched down even lower to avoid being seen.

"Erin? Where are you?" A voice called out from the doorway. Musa! Was she mad? No, she didn't sound mad… maybe she isn't. I took a peek from the top of the bathtub with Plusle on my head. Musa didn't look mad either. She looked at me as if I were crazy… then again I was in the tub with my pajamas on.

"Erin, why are you in the bathtub?" Musa asked.

"Hiding from you," I replied. "I thought you would be mad at me for eavesdropping on your conversation, so I hid."

"Mad at you? Maybe if I hadn't wasted my anger on Andy then I probably would have been."

"So you're not mad at me?" I asked hopefully. Musa pondered this and said, "I probably will be mad tomorrow if you're unlucky." I decided to ask Musa the question that has been nagging at the back of my head ever since I learned that she dated Sky.

"Why didn't you tell me," I asked.

Narrator's P.O.V. 7:25 a.m.

"Why didn't you tell me," Erin asked. Musa felt ashamed and hid her face with a nearby towel. She started sobbing into it and sat on the floor. Erin crawled out of the tub and put her arm around Musa's shoulders. Musa mumbled something incomprehensible.

"What did you say," Erin asked.

"He doesn't remember!" Musa wailed. She then sobbed some more into her towel. Erin was confused.

"What didn't Sky remember?" Erin asked.

"He doesn't remember dating me!"

"What? How can he not remember? How did you guys break up anyways?"

"Well…"

*Flashback*

"Why is this place so complicated?" Sky said frantically looking over the map of Mossdeep City. Musa sweat dropped at her boyfriend. "It's not that complicated, if you would just let me lea-"

"No way!" Sky said defensively. "I have a male pride to uphold." he said sticking his tongue out at her. Musa secretly pulled out her phone as Sky continued to fumble with the map. "Hey Liza, Sky is being difficult again so I need you to come find us, cause we're sort of lost." she said almost bored.

"I'm right behind you, smart one." Liza said making Musa jump when she pat her on the head.

"Hey, you may wanna put that thing away now?" Tate said sweat dropping at Sky. "We're right near the space center anyway..."

~...~

"And then Musa decided to call Liza and there went my manhood." Sky said desperately to his mother. Sky's mom barely held in a laugh when Musa shrugged at her with a stoic expression. "I don't think your manhood will be tarnished with such a small feat." she said encouragingly. Sky chuckled in a 'manly' way. "Well, I suppose that's true." he said happily, his confidence building up.

Before another word was exchanged, the space center was covered in a murky cloud of smoke covered the halls of the space center. Sky instinctively grabbed onto his mother, shocked to find that she wasn't there.

"M-Mom!" Sky yelled in a panic. After looking around in the smoke for awhile he saw the figure of his mother, but she was with someone else. Sky clenched his teeth and charged for the person holding his mother. Before he got far, though, he felt a hard knock against his head.

~...~

"Sky, Sky, wake up please?" Musa said shaking Sky, on the verge of tears. Liza looked at Musa worriedly.

"Musa, I don't think you should shake him so much." Tate said, taking the words right out of Liza's mouth. Musa felt warm tears run down her cheeks. "He won't wake up..." she mumbled sadly. "He just won't..." After she said that, Sky's eyes began to flutter open. "Uh, Musa... where are we?" he asked. Musa's face brightened up. "Sky, you're awake, I'm so happy!" she yelled wrapping her arms around him. Sky immediately pushed her off. "W-what the...?" he said confused. "Musa it's not like we're dating."

*End of Flashback*

Musa then starting sobbing into the towel that she had been holding for awhile now. Erin, being the good friend she is, soothed Musa until she stopped crying.
"I miss him so much," Musa cried, "He was the only boyfriend that didn't care that my dad was a famous rock star or that I'm rich or anything superficial about me. He cared about and liked my personality. He was the only boyfriend who thought I was beautiful without makeup and having bed head hair. He was different, annoying at times, unbelievably handsome, always had a way of making me smile… he was just that special kind of boyfriend. "
While saying this she had closed her eyes picturing all of her memories she had had with Sky. She remembered when he made her laugh after losing the Hearthome City Contest in December. She pictured herself and Sky out on their first date and she couldn't stop looking at his gorgeous face. She also imagined herself back in Mossdeep City when he was being stubborn.

KNOCK KNOCK

Sky's P.O.V. 7:36 a.m.

"He was different, annoying at times, unbelievably handsome, never has trouble expressing himself, and always had a way of making me smile… he was just that special kind of boyfriend." I heard someone say inside the bathroom. It sounded a lot like Musa. I was sent up here by Musa's father, Andrew, to tell the girls to get ready to leave to the docks. Wait a minute… boyfriend? I quickly relayed the names of Musa's past boyfriends: Brandon, Jason, Angel, Jacob, and… and… I felt that there was one more guy that dated Musa but I couldn't remember who. The closest fit to the description that Musa had said was Brandon but she never called him special.

Being her best friend, she told me everything. If she didn't tell me that Brandon was special then she probably kept it to herself. I couldn't help but feel a little bit jealous. One for not telling me about Brandon was "special" and two for her still probably liking Brandon a lot. Getting back to my original task I knock on the door twice.

"Musa, you and Erin need to get ready for the cruise today," I yelled through the door. The door opened and revealed Musa wiping away some tears from her eyes.
"Are you okay Musa?" I asked her, "It looks like you were crying." Erin came up from behind her and put an arm around Musa's shoulder.

"Yeah she's okay. Just that after Andrew's prank something got in her eye and I needed to get it out for her," Erin explained. It was a good excuse I'll admit. Did I believe it? Not really. Did I act like I did? Like a pro. Musa started pushing me out of her bedroom telling that they needed to change out of their pajamas and into clothes.

*Time Lapse* (A/N: Just because we're lazy)

Alex's P.O.V. 9:59 a.m.

Right now I couldn't here a thing because of the loud horn that just went off. That meant people had only a minute to get onboard. Sky and I were head to our cabin while the girls and the band went to theirs. (A/N: Don't worry. The band mates had different cabins) Our cabin was on the 12th floor, which was right under the 14th floor. Apparently they don't have a 13th floor because of 'bad luck.' Of course I don't believe in bad luck. Sky and I arrived at our room, Room 12.7. Our suitcases were right outside the door so I opened the door with my card; we grabbed our things and went in. The moment we stepped into the room we were met with a huge wardrobe to our right and a door to the bathroom to our left. Further into the room, past the bathroom and closet, was a sofa against the wall to our left wall with a small table next to it with magazines on it. Above that was a bed with a ladder to get on to it. At the end of the bed was a color television on a shelf showing a movie about a girl that fell through a hole in the ground and came upon a land without Pokemon but with weird talking animals and crazy-in-the-head people. (A/N: Alice in Wonderland if you haven't guessed) Another bed was located against a different wall with a window with an ocean view and a door that lead to the balcony. On the third wall, the one that the wardrobe is on, was a drawer space/vanity with a telephone on top to use for room service.

"The bed with the ocean view is MINE!" Sky yelled out as he jump on the bed, immediately destroying the peace and quite that was once in this room. I chuckled at his childish actions. 'This was going to be a long cruise,' I thought to myself, 'and he's gonna be my bunking partner… just great.' I started to unpack for the week cruise. I put my shirts and pants in the wardrobe and anything other clothing into the drawers. I went into the bathroom to put away my things like shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc. When I came out Sky was still on the bed and was looking out the window not making a noise. I walked over to him to see if he was awake but when I got there his eyes were closed and he was softly snoring. I got an idea and ran to the bathroom.

When I came out I was holding two buckets. One was full of cold water and the other was full of hot water. I put them next to the telephone momentarily and pulled him off the bed as hard as I could. With a loud 'thump' he fell and I checked to see if he woke. Luckily for me he was a heavy sleeper. Cons of my plan: 1. He'll hate me for a long time. 2. I get in deep trouble. Pros: 1. It will be hilarious. 2. His reaction will be great. 3. It will be hilarious. The Pros overruled Cons so I went through with my plan.

First I went to grab the bucket of hot water and I dumped it all over his sleeping figure, by the way… it was a big bucket. He woke sputtering and yelling 'Hot! Hot!'

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!" He screamed, "WHAT DID I EVER DO TO-" Before he could finish his tantrum I had grab the other bucket and splashed it all over his face. He stopped yelling for a minute. Then he started yelling again, this time he was yelling 'Cold! Cold!' I fell on the floor laughing my ass off while he ran into the bathroom to get a nice NORMAL-temperature shower as he calls it. I decided to look around the ship and visit the arcade that they have. I walked out of the stateroom area and into the Grand Atrium Plaza. The 12th floor was the top of it. The bottom of the atrium was the 7th floor.

'It's a good thing they have elevators here,' I thought. I walked into one of 3 elevators and pressed the 9th floor button seeing that it was where the arcade was located. Once the elevator had to stop so someone on the 11th floor could come on. It was a girl with black, layered shoulder length hair and sky blue eyes that stood out from her pale skin. She looked around my age, twelve, but if she was she might have been a little under average height. She wore a blue hair clip in the shape of a water drop, a matching necklace, a blue tank top with wave figures, black boarder shorts, and black sandals. Her pokemon belt was pure white and goes around her waist. Every level that went by made the elevator ride more awkward.

Before I had a chance to say anything to her to break the tension we arrived to her floor, the 9th. Looking around it looked like the shopping floor. The door closed soon after she got off and kept moving down. I finally reached the 7th floor and got off. I looked around and saw a night club for adults, a dancing club for teens, a child's care for kids 6 and under, a theatre of magic shows and plays for this week, and finally the arcade. I made a beeline for the arcade and looked to see if any favorite games were there. There was DDR, a couple games with mechanical arms, and a lot of other games. I kept looking and looking until I saw them, the racing games. Unfortunately, all of them were taken, from car racing to motorcycle racing to boat racing. Then I saw someone getting off a motorcycle games, they were my favorite.

I raced to it to make sure no one else got it. By the time I put my hand on the left handle of the motorcycle someone else put their hand on the right handle. I looked up to see a boy with messy dark brown hair, brown eyes, and very skinny. He was around my height and he wore dark blue jeans, dark grey t-shirt with a white pokeball symbol in the middle of it, a white and grey checked plaid skater's shirt with the sleeves rolled up and the buttons un-done.

"Excuse me, but I was here first," the boy said with a sly smile. I raised an eyebrow and looked at him as if he was crazy. 'Did he honestly think I was just gonna give it up just like that? I don't think so,' I thought to myself. I smirked and responded, "No, you got it confused. I was here first, not you." He glared at me as if I would disappear if he tried hard enough.

"Nope, I have it not… confused," he said thinking of his choice of words, "I am pretty sure I got here first."

"Nooooo, I was first," I argued tightening my grip on the handle.

"Nooooo, I was."

"I was."

"I was."

"I was!" I yelled. Someone next to us cleared their throat, so we both looked over to see someone already sitting in motorcycle seat. He looked around seven-years-old; he must have sneaked on the seat while I was arguing with that boy. I angrily unclenched the left handle while the other boy unclenched the right. He must have also thought that we couldn't force a little kid off the game. We both left the arcade since there were no other interesting games in there. It occurred to me that I didn't even know this guy's name.

"Hey dude, I didn't quite catch your name back there." I said. He started chuckling and then said, "Well that's because I didn't throw it yet. My name's Alex Winters." I didn't quite believe him but I went with it.

"Really? My name's Alex too," I stated. He looked at me weirdly and seemed to think about what I just said.

"Alex 2? Well that's an interesting name," He said while he stuck out his hand, "It's nice to meet you Alex 2."

"Oh ha-ha," I said sarcastically while I took his hand and shook it firmly, "What I meant to say was that my name is Alex as well." He then looked at me even stranger. He raised his left eyebrow and then said slowly, "Your name is 'Alex As Well'? That's an even weirder name but okay. It's still nice to meet you." I glared at him hoping he would just burst into flames already.

"No, my name is Alex Verde," I said trying my best to keep my anger down. Alex's eyes suddenly went wide. He finally got my name.

"THE Alex Verde? Well why didn't you say so?" Alex screamed. Now I'm starting to regret telling him my name.

Musa's P.O.V. 10:15 a.m.

"COME ON ERIN! PRETTY PLEASE WITH CHOCOLATE SYRUP, RAINBOW SPRINKLES, AND A CHERRY ON TOP!" I yelled begging her to come. I used my special puppy dog eyes that no one has ever been able to resist before. She took one look at me and finally broke down.

"Fine... but only until lunch. Then we eat and go to the pool." She said giving in. I hugged her to death yelling thank you over and over again. I then let go of her and grabbed her hand and dragged her to the nearest elevator. One was about to close but I yelled, "Don't let that door close!" Thankfully those people weren't deaf and someone held the door open.

Once inside, I pressed the button to the 9th floor for shopping! The reason I was dragging Erin down here is because Erika, the famous gym leader/owner of a perfumery, was giving away special perfume bottles of the essence of her Gloom to 3 lucky winners. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Once the door opened for the 9th floor I raced to the perfumery with a huge crowd gathered around it. Erin was still being dragged behind me and I'm pretty sure she had rug burns… oh well.

We waited in line to get a ticket for the raffle. It felt like an hour but it was probably only ten minutes before we got out tickets. A couple minutes later Erika came out on a stage and got a round of applause and a couple standing ovations.

"All right people," Erika yelled through a microphone, "Who is ready for a chance to get some awesome, special, and not to mention rare perfume?" I joined into the yelling and screaming while Erin was just clapping calmly. Erika continued, "Well our first winner is ticket number 78325! Please come up to the stage and state your name." A girl with black, layered shoulder length hair went up to the stage.

"My name is Arai Cade." The girl, now known as Arai, then received her prize and was told to stay. Erika then continued, "The next number is…. 78357!" I screamed and screamed and ran up to the stage for it was my number. I was so excited that I could have fainted but I had to get my prize. Erika asked me what my name was.

"My name is Musa Lockhart," I tried to say calmly. I was given my prize and held on to it for dear life. I stood next to the girl Arai and then shook her hand.

"The final number is," Erika said as she pulled a ticket from the basket, "7-8-3-5-8! Congratulations!" I clapped my hands with the perfume bottle still it but I didn't really care. Erin had also won that that's all that mattered. Erin walked up, stated her name, and then received her perfume. We hugged each other and jumped up and down. After that Erika personally signed all three of our perfumes and we walked out of the shop.

"Hey Arai. I know we just met and all but we're about to eat lunch if you would like to come," Erin offered. Arai smiled and then said, "Sure, I'd like that. I'll get just something from my cabin real quick then meet you there."

"Got it and meet you there," I called out as she left. Erin and I headed to the elevators to head to our cabin to pick up our things. I pressed the button for the elevator which came down in a couple minutes later. As the doors opened, I came face to face with someone I thought I'd never see again. His beautiful, sapphire blue eyes met my ruby red ones. He smiled his handsome smile and his golden hair glowed. All this time all I could do was whisper two words, "Brandon Snell."

A: Dun dun dun! If you guys don't remember from Sky's POV who Brandon is THEN READ IT!
M: Sorry for the late update… almost a year but don't worry. It has finally arrived and we kind of noticed something with OC's you people turned in.
A: For relationships you guys just 'You pick' or whatever and we kinda don't want to.
