Iris followed May to another table, where two guys sat, chatting.
"Here, I'm going to show you how to act girly," May said with a wink, turning to the two guys.
"Hey," she said, taking a seat. They both looked at her with mild interest, and nodded.
"So, what are you guys doing here?" She said, tilting her hair and letting it cascade off her shoulder, and the spiky haired one grinned.
"Well, we were supposed to just hang out and have fun, but it looks like now we have a new friend." He said in a surprisingly high voice, and May giggled lightly.
"Wow... Isn't that great?" she said, flipping her hair over her shoulder. Iris stared in confusion as May continued to giggle more and more, covering her mouth. What is she doing? She thought, as May finally leaned closer, her voice dropping to almost a whisper.
"So boys," she said, wiggling her eyebrows. "What is your definition of fun?" both their eyes strayed to her chest, before snapping back to her face, but Iris caught their eye movement, and stood up suddenly, scraping her chair away in the process.
"Where do you think you're looking at?" Iris said angrily as she slapped both of them, hard, the sound of it echoing in the mall. They looked her, stunned, as they rubbed the spot they got slapped, before standing up as well, towering over her by an inch or two.
"What did you just do?" the spiky one asked menacingly, and Iris took the plate of food they had one their table.
"This." she said triumphantly as she smacked the plate of food at his face, ignoring May's horrified look. "Don't look at my friends junk like that." she said with conviction, and May grabbed Iris's hand, already out of her chair.
"Okay Iris let's go!" she said nervously, weaving around in the food court, as the two boys began to pick up random plates and throw it at the girls, food dribbling down their faces, anger radiating from them. Iris ducked as a burrito went sailing past her head, and looked disappointingly at May.
"Aww... Come on.. We were having so much fun!" Iris said as she chucked a sandwich back their way, grinning. "I know... " May said painfully, attempting to hide a smile, "but that's not how you're supposed to act girly." she finished, barely avoiding another box of French fries. "Besides... I don't know what I was doing... Why did I bother to mess with them?..."
"Look, I get it, giggle, look pretty, talk about weird stuff, I get it. Now can we please fight back before we end up getting more food stains on our clothing? I just bought these jeans, and you have no idea how much it hurt to buy these expensive things!" Iris complained, cringing as a plate of pasta hit the table beside her, but to her surprise, May grinned.
"Oh, okay. Looks like I taught you well enough." she said, overturning an empty table so it acted as a shield. "Now let's fight back." she grinned evilly as she launched a big gulp full of soda at them, and Iris pumps her fist.
"Yeyeah! This is the May I know! Food fight!" Iris yelled happily, grabbing whatever she could and chucking it at the two boys, who were now laughing their own heads off as they hid for shelter. Back and forth the food went, neither sides relenting, the paying customers standing at the side, looking glumly at all the wasted food. Suddenly, a whistle pierced the fight, as a mall cop began to run towards the scene, anger and fury practically boiling out of his angered expression. Iris and May's faces paled, realizing the damage they've caused, and looked around, searching for an exit, when another voice cried out.
"Cloyster, use Mist!" the voice said, and almost instantly, the room was filled with a dense mist, no one able to see more than a few feet in front of them. "Come on!" the voice whispered furiously, yanking both of them by the arm, and soon, they were panting for their breath behind the mall doors, their lungs on fire from running so hard away from the angered cop who continued to struggle looking for the two boys.
"Misty?" May said in amazement, and Misty winked at her.
"Hey May, now come on, let's go home. I don't want to hang around here as much as you do." she panted, and they hailed another taxi, the short drive feeling even shorter. They all collapsed in Iris's living room, sprawled on the floor, and after a few awkward chuckles, were full out laughing their heads off at what they just did.
Ash grabbed a shirt, shoving it over his head. He ran his fingers through his messy hair, before sighing in frustration and jamming his hat on, hoping it would hide the mess.
"I'm glad I'm not traveling around anymore" Ash muttered, putting on his coat. "Don't have to worry much about clothes." He looked in the foggy mirror, and looked at himself closely. He watched himself as he blinked slowly, examining his zigzag face with almost no interest, almost distaste. He like Iris. There. It was official. He liked Iris. But how was he supposed to get her to like him? He brushed his teeth, hearing the pokemon scuffle in the room outside. When Iris left with Misty in the morning, both of them smiling profusely, he wandered the room, his boredom growing, his patience wearing thin. Finally, bored out of his mind, he grabbed his pokemon, and headed outside, letting them outside.
"Okay guys, what do you wanna do?" He asked Iris's pokemon, who all blinked at him in confusion.
"Axew Axew!" Axew volunteered, and Ash grinned at him.
"Tag sounds like a good idea!" He said, and tagged Emolga. "You're it!" After that precursor, Iris's team erupted in cheers as they ran away from Emolga, who began to chase everyone she could. Ash laughed, grinning like an idiot as he ran, letting time slip by his fingers. Finally, after many rounds, he snapped to, realizing how dirty he was, and walked into the house, taking a shower. Now here he stood, his skin freshly washed, and he sighed again.
"Look at me, barely even able to stay clean. It's no wonder that Iris calls me a little kid..." He said dejectedly, and trudged to the living room, grabbing his cold cup of coffee he left on the table in the morning, when he entered into the living room and froze. Misty, May and Iris were sprawled on the floor, tears sliding from their eyes as they were barely containing their laughter.
"Uh... Guys?" Ash said as he put down the cold coffee carefully. "You okay?" Which only led to more giggling.
"Iris...hahaha..." May barely said, clutching her stomach, and Ash tapped his foot impatiently, waiting five full minutes before they could regain their composure.
"Okay Iris," May said, grinning ear to ear. "Show em" at that, both Misty and May burst out laughing, as Iris's cheeks turned red.
"Guys!" She scolded them, looking from Ash to her giggling companions to Ash again. "Hehe... Sorry about them..." She said nervously, twirling her hair around her fingers, and Ash smiled gently, watching her.
"It's fine Iris, don't worry." Ash said with a small shrug, and together they walked to the small field where the big tree still stood looming. To Iris's surprise, she watched as Ash scampered up the tree, and beckoned her up.
"Come on!" ash said, his natural smile on his face, and Iris smiled inwardly. I love his adorable smile.. She thought to herself, as she began her ascent up getting up the tree.
"You still have the Pokeball?" Ash commented as she hauled herself up slowly, still exhausted from the mall incident.
"Yeah... It hasn't opened..." Iris sighed, and Ash shook his head playfully.
"I'm sure you'll love who's inside." he chuckled, but suddenly, a branch above them snapped, and a body came tumbling down, crashing onto the ground, but the brunette was unmistakable.
"Serena? Were... Were you eavesdropping?"
Wow had to be one of the worst endings I've ever had, but... Yeah sorry... So, just a heads up, I probably won't be updating as much as I want to, cause this week's going to be hella busy for me, so... Sorry again! ? Plus, writing another story too, so this story might get clogged down a little cause of the writing traffic going on in my head, but I assure you I will finish this story. Don't forget to review! Again, I apologize for everything, and stay tuned.
