A: Here's our newest chapter! Who's excited? *Cricket chirping*
M: Didn't we get rid of that cricket like a few chapters ago? Anyways in this chapter we are introducing a new oc and give a pretty obvious hint on who's coming in on the next chapter!
A: If you keep reading you'll find out who they are!
M: Now back to the story.
Last time on Crystal Guardians:
"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.
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."
Sky's P.O.V. 10:15 a.m.
I finally finished changing into a green shirt with a picture of a Sceptile using its Leaf Blade and a green jacket with a white pokeball on the back. I also wore forest green skinny jeans and a pair of Vans. I swear I will get my revenge on Alex!
"Now where did Alex say he was going?" I asked aloud to myself. I started to pace around for about ten minutes till I realized there was someone else in the room. I turned to face the person to find out there were two people… persons? Oh whatever.
"'Bout time you stopped pacing. You were making me dizzy," Alex said. I glared at him for a while then I turned my head to face then new guy.
"And who might you be?" I asked.
"I'm Alex, Alex Winters." He responded. I stared at him long and hard.
"Your name is Alex?" I asked while he nodded, "Boy this is gonna be hard… How about I call Verde 'Alex 1' and I'll call Winters 'Alex 2'. So what do you Alex's want to do?"
"Well Erin texted that she and Musa are going to lunch. How does that sound?" Alex 1 asked.
"Sounds good to me," Alex 2 said.
"And after that we're headed towards the pool." Alex 1 continued. Alex 2 smile suddenly dropped and then he stated, "I just remembered that I have something to do… so I'll see you guys later."
Alex 1 and I looked at him weirdly as he left the room. 'I guess he wasn't hungry,' I thought to myself.
Musa's P.O.V. 10:25 a.m.
I stood there like idiot in front of my ex-boyfriend. I was getting lost in his eyes and the only reason I snapped back into reality was because of Erin.
"Hi, I'm Erin. I'm one of Musa's friends and so are you apparently." Erin said, "Sorry but Musa is being an idiot right now and I didn't quite get your name when Musa said it. What is it?" I snapped back into reality and decided to let Brandon answer for himself.
"Brandon Snell at your service," He responded and he grabbed Erin's hand and kissed it. I rolled my eyes remembering that's exactly what he did to me when he first met me. I remember responding with a blush much like the Erin's right now. If things go exactly like they did to me then Erin should be inviting him to lunch in 5, 4, 3, 2-
"H-hey we're about to have lunch, would you like to join us?" Erin asked, not surprising.
"I would love to." Brandon responded. We walked through the ship's glass atrium into the pool area. We walked in such a way that Brandon and I were on either side of Erin. Luckily, Brandon was closest to the pool while I was on the edge of the ship so thinking quickly I 'accidentally' bumped into Erin then she bumped into Brandon which caused him to fall into the pool.
"Musa, why did you do that?" Erin yelled at me while I was biting my lower lip to stop from laughing. Erin turned to face a gasping Brandon bobbing in the pool. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry Brandon! I swear it was an accident-" Erin tried to explain (glaring at me when she said accident), "I think you should change and we'll meet you at the buffet."
He nodded still trying to get out of the pool. Then a brown-haired blue-eyed boy in a lifeguard suit swam over to him with a Sealeo.
"Here let us help you," He said, "Sealeo help him up." Sealeo then went underwater and went under Brandon to pick him up. The Sealeo push him on land and Brandon started to walk away, his clothes clinging to him, only stopping once to cough up water.
"Thank you!" Erin yelled and waved good bye to the lifeguard and his pokémon and turned around to give me a 'Why-in-the-world?' look.
"I couldn't let what happened to me happen to you." I tried to explain.
"What?" She asked.
"He tried charming you by kissing your hand. You blushed and stuttered so that meant he succeeded. He would then follow up with flirting and eventually you'll flirt back. In a couple days or weeks you'll start dating and he'll make you'll feel like the only girl in the world! THEN after a couple months HE'LL CHEAT ON YOU! YOU'LL FEEL STUPID AND ALONE AND HOPELESS!" I said getting angrier as memories started flooding back.
These were memories I tried so hard to forget but failed apparently. I then felt a hand on my shoulder and another hand wiping away tears that I hadn't realized escaped my closed eye lids. I looked up at Erin comforting me and it looked awfully familiar to when I told her about Sky. I then explained, "I didn't want the same thing happening to you. You're my best friend Erin."
"It's okay Musa. None of that is going to happen now that you've warned me." She said in a comforting way that only a best friend could have. She smiled and pulled me into a hug. After a couple seconds we released and I suggested we try some of the rumored ice cream in the buffet. We walked away from the pool with rejuvenated smiles.
Alex's P.O.V.10:33 a.m.
Sky and I walked into the buffet and immediately looked for the girls. After a couple minutes Sky found them eating ice cream in a window booth looking outwards towards the ocean. We walked over to them, Sky sitting next to Musa and me sitting next to Erin. They turned around from their view and smiled at us.
"'Bout time you guys got here. What took you so long?" Musa asked. Sky glared at me while I was trying to cover my laughing with a cough.
"Alex played a prank that he will be severely punished for." Sky explained while smirking evilly. It seemed more likely that he was probably planning my death rather than a horrible prank. Giggles could be heard from both girls.
"So what's today's special?" I asked feeling starved.
"I think it's some sort of gumbo," Erin responded, "but it might just be another type of exotic soup."
"You guys just got ice cream?" Sky asked surprised.
"No, I had a cashew chicken salad and Erin had a fruit salad." Musa replied while waving someone over. Skyler and I turned to see a girl. My eyes widened when I realized it was the girl I met in the elevator… well not exactly met but more like saw. Either way I was quite surprised. She walked over to us and she looked just as surprised as I was.
"Arai over here!" Musa yelled as if it wasn't obvious enough that she was waving her arms like a maniac.
"Hey guys and you," Arai, apparently, said pointing at me, "You're that guy in the elevator. Hi I'm Arai Cade. We didn't greet properly last time we saw each other." She shook my hand as well as Sky's.
"I'm Alex Verde and this guy right here is Skyler Starling." I stated pointing at Sky, "Well Sky and I are going to get our lunch. We'll be back soon." Then we left to see what the buffet had. I had found the special Erin talked about and apparently it was gumbo. They're many different kinds like chicken gumbo, shrimp gumbo, and some other one that I can't pronounce. I chose to get the chicken gumbo then I looked around to find Sky. I spotted him barely balancing 3 food filled plates. 'He's going to drop them.' I thought to myself while shaking my head.
As if on cue his plate filled with pizza fell and he groaned at his lost. He then forgot about the pizza when he saw the dessert section. I grabbed onto the collar of his green jacket while tsking.
"You know Musa will yell at you if you get dessert before you finish eating real food." I said shaking my head.
"B-b-but its ICE CREAM!" Sky tried to argue. I raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you want to face an angry Musa?" He glared at me knowing he had lost this round while retorting, "Do you realize I'm now going to get twice as much revenge on you?"
"Yes, yes I do. Though I doubt you can come up with anything horrible enough." I stated while smirking.
"Unless I get help from Musa." He said all-too-knowingly. I could feel the blood drain from my face. I'm mean, Musa can really pull a nasty prank if she wanted to but she usually doesn't get THAT mad at someone. Although knowing Sky, he can probably sweet talk her into killing half the world's population!
"Y-you w-w-wouldn't!" I stuttered. He then smirked.
"Oh you know I would." He replied and then walked off to the table. Karma was really getting me back and FAST! Oh someone help me. I walked over to the table hoping that the revenge wouldn't be painful.
Arai's P.O.V. 10:40 a.m.
When the boys left we started talking about random things like "What region did you come from?" and "Are you a coordinator or a trainer?" just to get to know each other. Apparently Musa is from Sinnoh, Erin and Elevator Boy are from Kanto, and Sky is from Hoenn. Another interesting fact about Musa and Sky is that their dads are members of PokéRockers! They're like my top 5 bands ever! Suddenly Musa's smile turned into a devastating frown.
"I completely forgot you invited him!" She said angrily to Erin. She shrugged her shoulders as if to say 'Sorry.' I turned around to see a familiar blond, blue-eyed guy.
"You guys wouldn't be talking about Brandon would you?" I asked. They looked at me with shocked expressions.
"You know Brandon Snell!" They yelled/asked in unison.
"Yeah, he's in the room right across from me," I said as if it was the most normal thing in the world, "Although when I left my room to get here I saw him dripping with water and smelling like chlorine. He wouldn't tell me what happened but now thinking about it you probably had something to do with it." I raised my eyebrow to ask 'Why?'
"He's my ex-boyfriend and Erin here didn't know that until after she invited him to join us for lunch," Musa explained while staring at Brandon still looking for us, " So then I 'accidentally' bumped Erin which in turn bumped Brandon."
"Ooh…" I said as I understood. I turned to see that Brandon had found us and was now walking towards us. Right now he was wearing a blue polo and some regular blue jeans. When he reached us we greeted him and vice versa.
"I didn't know you guys were friends." Brandon stated surprised taking a seat next to Erin. (A/N: If you're confused, Musa is on the right side window seat while Erin is left window seat. Arai is next to Musa and now Brandon is next to Erin. Three people can fit on both sides.)
"Yeah well we just met today." I responded. Then the boys arrived and Sky immediately glared at him.
"Brandon," Sky stated in a monotone voice.
"Skyler," Brandon said in the exact same way. The tension was thick when the boys got seated, Sky next to me and Alex next to Brandon.
"So I hear my dad's band is going to play on the Fiesta Deck! (A/N: AKA the 11th floor.) Do you guys want to go?" Musa said to try to break the tension.
"Musa that's a great idea! We should all go to have some fun. I mean come on, who has heard of a cruise without fun!" I agreed. One by one the others started agreeing as well. So when the two boys finished eating we went outside and climb the stairs to the 11th floor. Before even getting to the top I could hear music so I knew they already started.
"Hey I've been watching you,
Every little thing you do.
Every time I see you pass
In my homeroom class,
Makes my heart beat fast.
I've tried to page you twice,
But I see you roll your eyes.
Wish I could make you real,
But your lips are sealed.
That ain't no big deal.
Cause I know you really want me. (Yeah)
I hear your friends talk about me. (Yeah)
So why you trying to do without me. (Yeah)
When you got me,
Where you want me.
Hey Juliet!"
"Oh so they're playing that song. My dad wrote that song for my mom in high school!" Musa explained when we reached the top. Lots of people were dancing to the song and everyone was in a happy mood. Four lifeguards, two boys and two girls, were in I guess what you would call their 'uniforms' and were on the stage doing a dance routine.
"I think you're fine.
You really blow my mind.
Maybe someday you and me can run away.
I just want you to know,
I wanna be your Romeo.
Hey Juliet
Hey Juliet
H-h-h-hey Juliet
Girl you got me on my knees,
Beggin' please, baby please.
Got my best DJ on the radio waves sayin',
"Hey Juliet, what are you doin' to me?"
Too far to turn around, (turn around)
So I'm gonna stand my ground. (Stand my ground)
Gimme just a little bit of hope,
A smile or a glance,
Give me one more chance.
Cause I know you really want me. (Yeah)
I hear your friends talk about me. (Yeah)
So why you tryin' to do without me. (Yeah)
When you got me,
Where you want me."
Soon Musa, Sky, Erin, and Alex were dancing to the music. I laughed along with the others as Sky fell down when he tried to do some sort of special move. Soon Brandon and I joined in with the dancing as well.
"Hey Juliet.
I think you're fine,
You really blow my mind.
Maybe (maybe) someday (someday),
You and me can run away.
I just want you to know,
I wanna be your Romeo.
Hey Juliet
Hey hey Juliet
Hey Juliet
H-h-h-hey Juliet
I know you really want me.
I hear your friends talk about me.
So why you tryin' to do without me.
When you got me,
Where you want me.
If you want us to stay forever,
For us to hang together,
So
Hear
Me
When I
Say
Hey (hey hey) Juliet
Hey Juliet
Hey Juliet
I think (I think) you're fine (you're fine),
You really blow my mind (blow my mind).
Maybe (maybe) someday (someday),
You and me can run away (runaway).
I just want you to know,
I wanna be your Romeo.
Hey Juliet
Hey hey Juliet
Hey Juliet
I think you're fine,
You really blow my mind (blow my mind).
Maybe (maybe) someday (someday),
You and me can run away (run away).
I just want you to know (want you to know),
I wanna be your Romeo.
Hey Juliet"
Once the song ended we were all tried and sat at a nearby table. A boy lifeguard with brown hair came up to our table and pointed at Musa, Erin, and Brandon.
"You three were at the pool earlier right?" He asked and they nodded, "My name is Kurogasa. Kurogasa Kururugi to be exact."
"Well it's nice to meet you Kuro. Can we call you that?" Erin asked.
"Sure a lot of people call me that." He replied.
"Well then, My name is Erin and these are my friends Musa, Alex, Sky, Arai, and Brandon. Do you want to have dinner with us later today?" Erin asked. 'Huh… she invited me when we just barely met as well! I'm sensing a pattern here…' I thought to myself.
"Sure I would love to come. Can I bring a friend though? Her name is Marilin." Kuro asked.
"The more the merrier," Musa said in an annoyed voice. It seemed that both Kuro and Erin either ignored Musa's tone or just didn't notice it.
"Thanks!" He responded and then left. When he was out of earshot Musa turned to Erin and asked her irritably, "Are you just going to invite every person you meet on this cruise to lunch or dinner?"
Aaron: That's all we really have for today...
Musa: but before we forget…
