Me: I'm back!
Drew: Like we're happy to see you.
Paul: Yeah, I feel like a prancing pink pixie horse.
Dawn: *Eyes sparkle* I love prancing pink pixie horses!
Paul: Of course YOU would.
Me: Hey, where's everybody else?
Misty: Shouldn't you know? You're the author.
Drew: And a bad one at that.
Paul: I second the motion.
Me: You guys are SO NICE. Whatever, who wants the disclaimer? …Jimmy!
Jimmy: Nanny does not own Pokemon. On with the story!
Dawn's POV:
"Bye! Pick me up at 5!"
My mom sped away in the blue bug car, and I rang the doorbell.
"Piplup pip!" Piplup was on my head, resting on my pink beanie as usual. I was wearing my same old traveling outfit right now (most of the time, it's what we all wear), and my black skirt swayed in the breeze of the coming storm. The sky was all black when Marina promptly opened the door and ushered me inside.
Everybody was sitting on the red leather couches, but when they saw me, they screamed and pounced on me, hugging me and pulling my navy hair. I just got it done, thank you! Piplup jumped off to avoid getting crushed. They just can't get enough of me, can they? Wow, that sounded weird…
"I haven't seen you in like, forever!" Lyra exclaimed, throwing her cap up for emphasis. It fell to the floor before she could catch it, so she ended up picking it up from the floor and dusting it off.
I chuckled, "We hung out yesterday, remember?" She pondered for a moment, before realization dawned on her and her mouth went into a perfect silent "o" shape.
I noticed that May was snoozing on the couch. I shook her and she woke up with a start shouting,
"It wasn't me, D, Cynthia, 369, Unova, Gengar, what the heck?" I sweat dropped anime-style and she put on a sheepish grin explaining, "I thought I was in class."
I replied with "Yeah, but what in the name of Arceus was that?"
"Drew taught me that to back myself up every time I fall asleep in class. He's taught me a lot of come backs, but I still can't beat him an argument."
Leaf piped in, "You know, you fall asleep in class a lot-"
"Shut up!" May retorted, her face flushing red. I laughed, and then noticed that May was yawning and placing her head back on the pillow.
"You were up late again texting Drew, right?"
"N-no!" May quickly responded, her face growing an even deeper red. A fire truck would be jealous of her.
Misty rolled her eyes before saying, "You know May, we weren't born yesterday." I saw my chance to make my move here. I needed to see what those two were really talking about. I lunged and swiped May's phone before she could yell, "Hey, that's my new Manaphee 360 phone!"
Everybody crowded around me and I started scrolling down her "Recent Messages" column, trying to find anything that might be out of the ordinary.
"It's just boring friend-rival stuff, basically a bunch of arguments, new contest and training details, more arguments, and homework problems." Zoey exclaimed.
I sighed as May stole her own phone back and stuffed it back into her pocket. Her sapphire eyes danced playfully though. We always do that to her every time she's been up late with Drew. Whether May likes to admit it or not, May's actually closer to Drew that any of us, because they've been rival-friends for years. Now, it's so obvious that they like each other more than friends, so why doesn't somebody confess already?
"Okay guys, you know what we're here for." Marina said.
"Yeah, to plan how to prank the boys!" Leaf shouted, pumping her fists in the air.
I smirked evilly, rubbing my hands together. I saw Misty's cerulean eyes light up in this really weird destructive way, Zoey cringe, and Lyra grimace. They were all reminiscing. This was to get back on the boys from last time. I remember it like yesterday…actually I do remember yesterday, but that's not the point…
Flashback of April Fools
I leisurely strolled down the hall, ready for whatever the day might bring me. Unlike May, I was not paranoid of April Fools.
While humming "No Turning Back", I came to my locker and opened it up. I jumped back, making sure there were no balls tumbling down on my head. That happened last year. Okay, so I was a little paranoid. But with good reason! I had to go home early last year because I was dizzy.
Anyway, since none came rolling out, I got my stuff and started walking to homeroom. Funny, though, that nobody had tricked me yet. I was pretty prone to them, and with friends like mine…well, let's just say that they really like April Fools.
Everyone was already in the class and it would be another 5 minutes till the bell rang. Ash was munching on some MnM's, and Jimmy was flinging a paper airplane. May and Drew were arguing and Leaf was daydreaming, with Gary poking her from behind.
I sighed and sat down on my seat. I felt something sticky and wet on my skirt. It was new, from Staraptor Store, and it was super expensive. My mom would kill me if I ruined it. I had to beg for weeks to get this. I tried to get up to see what the substance was, but I couldn't. It was like gravity was pushing down on me or something. Or…I was stuck to the seat.
It was obvious now what they did. I was going to kill them, they ruined my new denim skirt and the day hadn't even started yet! They put glue on my chair! I was so mad, I wasn't surprised when they turned and asked me if I was okay. Of course they could feel the anger waves radiating from me.
When I asked sarcastically "What do you think?" Paul retorted, "Well, you're usually so loud and blabbing away as soon as you enter the room, so since you're quiet right now, it's a pretty big deal."
I must've been as red as a Cheri berry (so out of anger, I was going to kill Paul!), and when I tried to get up, I was restricted by the glue, and fell right back down on my butt. All the girls looked shocked while, surprise surprise, the boys were all snickering. I was SO going to get them back for this.
Now I might never be able to get back up again…I'll be stuck to this chair for the rest of my life…and nobody will be able to get me off because it's Swallot glue (trust me, THAT sticks. I speak from experience…) or something super super sticky! And then…I'm such a drama queen. I won't be stuck forever. They're not that mean.
Anyways, I started screaming at them, but just then the teacher walked in. I must have like, the worst bad timing in Sinnoh. Make that the world.
"You'll be having detention today, Miss Berlitz."
I sighed, and then replied, "I first need to get unstuck from this chair, Professor Oak." Everybody laughed, and I flushed in embarrassment. I now vow revenge on the boys. I'll get them, I promise. I swear on Mesprit's name, I will.
End of Flashback
I growled and shook that thought out of my head. The point was, they were going DOWN. Zoey laid a plan out on the table. "So, here's the plan…"
With the Boys
Paul's POV
I stared up at the large threatening door before pounding on the door, flecks of crimson paint flying from the door. I heard footsteps, followed by a, "Who's there?"
I shook my head. Ash. "Who do you think it is, the pizza man? Let me in!" I shouted.
"Hey guys, I didn't know you ordered pizza without me!" I stared in disbelief. "Pika pi!" Either Ash missed the sarcasm through the door, or there is something seriously wrong and deranged with that boy. I think it's the second option.
Anyways, there was a set of shuffling feet, followed by Drew, opening the door. I walked in, while noticing that Drew was stifling a yawn. His emerald eyes were bloodshot, and there were gray heavy bags under his eyes. I didn't know us boys could be that destructive. Or…he didn't get enough sleep.
But as soon as I thought "sleep", I knew what was up. Drew had been up late texting with May again. How many times had those two been grounded for that? Even more important, how many times have we had to bail them out?
I sighed, and told him, "You were up late texting again, right?" Drew immediately turned 7 different shades of red and denied it violently. I rolled my eyes. Idiot.
I plopped down on the sagging yellow couch, making myself feel at home, because it practically WAS. I was at Ash's house constantly, always for more battles. But I wanted to get this done and over with fast, so I got to the point quick by addressing (when Drew was back, of course) "So, to the girls…"
I left that thought hanging, as the boys all shared flashes of embarrassment and ultimate humiliation that were experienced last April Fools. As for me…
April Fools Flashback
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
I groaned and slammed my hand out. The alarm clock fell off the nightstand and crashed onto the floor. Shoot, that's the fifth one this week. AND that was a state-of-the-art Electivire model.
I threw off the blanket and got out of the bed. I stretched my arms and flexed my legs as my cold toes snuggled into the purple fuzzy carpet. I sighed and looked down. The alarm clock was all over the floor. It had smashed into a million pieces. I cringed, knowing the scolding I would get tonight from Reggie. Ouch.
Suddenly, pain shot up my leg. Ruby red blood was oozing out, and a piece of glass was stuck in my flesh. Oh well, a little pain never hurts.
I strode to the bathroom and started my normal morning routine, brushing my teeth, taking a shower, and whatnot. Everything seemed normal, even though it was April Fools. May be I could've expected a trick from Reggie, but he usually settles that at breakfast.
I burst out of the hot steamy bathroom, with a Buizel towel robed around my legs, and nothing else on, (yes, I was half-naked; I just came out of the shower, no need to giggle like a psychotic toddler.)
I peered around my room. Tidy, just how I liked it, with the hot-pink walls gleaming and the make-up and jewelry sets shining…the Beautifly canopy above my bed spinning…the PokeDoll set leaning on the window…wait, what the heck? Hot-pink walls? Make-up and jewelry sets? Beautifly canopy? PokeDoll set? I moaned. Who the heck would do this? The boys knew better, but even they weren't so low…
THE GIRLS.
"*$%^&#!#%&*&%$#!" I started screaming curses that I should not even know (that is very manly; now, you got a problem with that?) and lunged for my dresser. Just as I thought. Frilly dresses, hair bows, sparkly pink tank-tops, Buneary bras, and Piplup underwear. I had nothing at all to wear. I punched the wall in frustration, and a giant dent formed in the wall. Just great. And I'm sure the rest of the day is going to be very amazing too.
I stuck my head out the door and yelled for Reggie to get his butt up here. I was screeching at him for 5 minutes before he even had the decency to reply. "Get back in your room, the girls will see you, and I'm pretty sure you're not dressed yet as of now, young man!"
I hate it when he calls me that.
When he finally dragged himself up to my room, and saw the place, he instantly cracked up, and he just wouldn't stop laughing. I guess it was pretty funny for him, but believe me; I DID NOT find it funny AT ALL.
When he finally got a hold of himself he gave me this super long shirt and big baggy jeans that were WAY too lose. Reggie must SERIOUSLY lay off on the ice-cream or I will personally kill him.
He told me to deal with it, and that he'll give a lecture to the girls about their pranks. More like, "I MUST CONGRATULATE THEM ON THIS AMAZINGLY HILLARIOUS JOKE ON PAUL!"Mind you, he started giggling again. I hope he wasn't influenced by Harley. I winced. That would be JUST great.
I glanced at my watch and grimaced. So now, I was stuck with the girliest room on the planet, lose clothes that don't fit, AND a detention for being tardy. And this was only the morning. I did not want to imagine the afternoon.
I sighed, walked a few steps, paused to pull up my rapidly slipping jeans, and walked again. I was in desperate need of a belt.
End of Flashback
I scowled at the horrible memory and tucked it away in a dark corner of my mind. I noticed Ash hovering and drooling over a chip and I glared at him. He must've sensed my eyes burning into him, because he looked up, frowned, and handed the chip to me. I grunted thanks and popped it into my mouth. Salty-filled goodness…and that strangely sounded like Ash.
Kenny then leaned in for a huddle, and whispered, "So, here's the plan…"
Me: DUN DUN DUN! We end with a cliffy!
Drew: I am SO excited for what's next.
Dawn and Paul: What the heck! Why did you make such terrible stuff happen to us!
Me: It was for the good of the story!
Dawn and Paul: *Growl and lunge for me*
Me: For the love of IkariShipping, no!
*Everybody sweatdrops*
Everybody except me, Dawn, and Paul: Hope you enjoy this chappie!
Dawn and Paul: WE'RE SO GOING TO KILL YOU!
Me: Murder is against the law!...!
Next chappie will be coming soon, so hold onto your hats missies! Yee haw! Wow, that was random…
