Bittersweet Memories
Chapter 2: Leaf the Prankster

"That really sucks May. He can't do that to you guys." A 14-year-old teen said, tucked in between the sheets of a small white bed. He had a simple hospital gown on, and a teal beanie to cover his diminishing hair. The room he was staying in was small but comfortable, his single bed in the middle, lined with various cords and machines. A few chairs were pushed against the wall apposing him, along with a small TV. To his left was a side table, holding a laptop and a few flowers from his sister.

May sighed and ran her fingers through her hair. "Apparently he can. I mean, our contract is expiring, so he has every right too."

"Well, whatever. You prove him wrong and go on that tour. I'm positive you can run that other band to the ground!" Max cheered enthusiastically, grinning at his sister.

May couldn't help but smile at how cheerful he was. For someone who was stuck in a hospital day in and day out, he had a positive outlook on life and she found it very inspiring. "Okay Maxie, just for you." She cooed, pinching his cheek. "But you know... I'll be going to Kanto. I won't be able to visit you nearly as often as I do now."

He slapped her hand away and stuck out his tongue. "I know," He gave her a sad smile. "You do so much for me though. I'll be fine here. You have to go and protect your career."

She smiled in response and leaned over to give him a hug. "Thanks Max, I appreciate it." She withdrew from his grasp, just in time to see him release a yawn. "You really should sleep soon. I think visiting hours are over, anyway."

Max gave a disappointed frown. "Nooo. I'm n-not even tired." He said, stifling another yawn.

She rolled her eyes playfully then pulled the covers of his bed up to his shoulders. "So stubborn. Go to sleep Max, I'll see you soon."

"Okay... Promise?" He slumped into his pillow, defeated.

She leaned over and gave him a quick peck on the cheek. "Of course." And with that, May swept out of the room, leaving her sleeping brother behind.

...

She said her name was Nicki

She came to play, and her body was sick yeah

She kill when she walks, so sexy when she talk

Oh, you know she gonn- SLAM

"Ugh…" May groaned as she repeatedly hit the snooze button on her alarm clock. She turned over and buried her face into her pillow, frowning. She told Max about the band's situation last night, and it made her she regret having to leave him again.

He was completely fine with it, but it broke her heart to not be able to see him for weeks-maybe months-at a time. And she couldn't help but feel selfish for choosing her career over him.

"I'll be fine here. You have to go and protect your career."

Of course he didn't mean to sound like he was blaming her, but her conscience was picking through their entire conversation, pulling apart anything that made her feel the slightest bit guilty. May knew it wasn't her fault. She wasn't leaving him in vain. After all, the whole reason she was even doing this was so she could pay for Max's medical bills.

She was so absorbed in her reverie, she failed to acknowledge the bluenette barreling into her room at that moment. "OH MAAAAAY. UP AND AT 'EM. Time to get ready for our meeting with the new girls! I got you an outfit!"

May froze. Hopefully if she didn't move, Dawn would give up and go find another victim.

"I can see you, ya know. Get your butt up and try these on, would you? We dress to impress." She chirped, throwing a set of clothes at May's still-frozen body and skipping out of the room.

The brunette laughed and grabbed the ensemble. Dawn was so perky, even in the morning. She made her way to the bathroom and stepped into the shower.

The two had been living together for as long as she could remember. She first met Dawn during her old job as a waitress, and the two instantly hit it off and became close friends. They only got closer from there when they learned the other's hidden secrets, keeping a pact to always be there for each other when times got rough. When the rent became way too much for her to handle along with school, work, and Max's medical bills, Dawn stepped in and offered May a place at her house. Even though she could easily afford her own home now, the two preferred to stick together, just like old times.

She finished her shower and stepped out of the foggy bathroom, tugging at her clothes. She was in a sheer ivory summer dress, that had an acrylic lining. It loosely draped around her body before promptly stopping above her knees. A navy blue belt was place around her waist to accentuate her curves. May opted for a pair of matching ankle boots instead of Dawn's original choice of deadly stilettos.

Said girl was lounging on May's bed, reading a magazine. "'Bout time, Mayzie. Solidad told us to be at the restaurant in thirty minutes." She hopped off the bed and gave her friend a quick once-over. "You look good. Meet you in the car." She flipped her car keys in the air, and with a wink, caught them and waltzed out of the room.

After grabbing her phone and a small purse, May left her room in pursuit of her peppy housemate.

...

Dawn stepped out of her navy Mini Cooper and slammed the door behind her. She peeked over the hood of the car to see her brunette passenger do the same. With a satisfied nod, they swept through the doors of the posh restaurant, only to be immediately recognized and escorted by a waiter to a large, leather, half-circle booth, which seated their manager and fellow band members.

"Hey guys." Dawn greeted, sliding into the booth after May. "When's the other band getting here?"

Solidad glanced at her wrist. "They should've been here by now. They're probably just running late."

Misty nodded and opened her mouth to speak when she was interrupted by a sudden, high-pitched roar that emanated from outside the walls of the restaurant. A noise so shrill, only one species could make such a sound.

Fan girls.

Leaf perked up in recognition of the sound, and grinned. "They're heeeeere!" She eerily announced. The girls braced themselves and intently glued their eyes to the bistro's double doors.

The doors parted to reveal three figures standing side-by-side. A brunette with a sly grin, a smirking viridian-haired one, and an impassive member with mauve hair. They leisurely strolled down the restaurant aisle, completely ignorant to the blatantly zealous eyes that followed their every move.

They were the freaking epitome of sexy.

"Holy shit, they're guys? I thought they were supposed to be girls! WHY ARE THEY NOT GIRLS?" Leaf hissed in her manager's ear, trying to keep as quiet as she could.

Dawn, on the other hand, couldn't be happier. "Woooow... This is just like Twilight. The sexy group comes into the cafeteria. All hot 'n stuff." She sighed and clasped her hands together, a dazed look appearing on her face. "Except this is a restaurant... And they're not vampires... Or are they? DUNDUNDUN."

"...Okay, Dawn. Well now we know why the girls were shrieking so loudly." Misty groaned, rubbing her temple.

May put a finger to her chin thoughtfully. "I thought there were more of them...? And what about their manager?"

At that very moment, an ebony haired teen tumbled into the restaurant, crashing into an innocent waiter as he ran up to his friends who were still casually walking as slow as they could. Dawn snapped out of her daydream, the last band member's unique entrance startling her.

A final person entered the building, a tall man with a striking resemblance to the mauve-haired band member. His expression was much more welcoming and friendly, though at the time he was shaking his head.

The brunette stepped forward as the boys came to a stop in front of the table.

"Hi. I'm Gary Oak," He flashed a charming smile that made Dawn swoon. He gestured behind himself, "This is Drew, Paul, and ...Ash." The said boy had his back turned to them, profusely apologizing to the restaurant's staff. "We're Roulette. And that's Reggie, the man in charge."

May stood up and nodded politely. "I'm May, this is Dawn, Leaf, Misty, and our manager, Solidad." She said, pointing to each girl respectively. "Harley is our assistant manager...where is he?" She asked Solidad.

She shrugged in response. "Not sure. Last time I saw him he was parking the car, and that was well over fifteen minutes ago."

"He's probably putting finishing touches to that ridiculous Cacturne costume of his." Misty muttered to herself.

Ash perked up at her words. "Cacturne costume?" He turned to Reggie. "Didn't a woman in a cacturne costume confront Maylene about her 'nose tape fashion statement'?"

"That's definitely Harley."

The boys gave an awkward nod and one-by-one, filed into the large booth.

As the waiter came to take their orders, the teens engaged in small-talk.

...

Misty eye-balled an uncomfortable looking Ash. "So your the competition, eh?" She said, sizing him up and poking at him like some sort of specimen.

"Ehehe..." He pushed her finger away and sweatdropped. "I'm Ash. You must be, uh... Dawn right?" He grinned and held out his hand. "Nice to meet you!"

At that, Misty's Mallet collided happily with his head.

"Ashy-boy, you dimwit. This lovely lady is Misty." Gary, who sat on the other side of the crumpled Ash, took her hand and kissed it.

Misty blushed and withdrew her hand, only to remove the mallet from Ash's skull and plant it on Gary's.

"Stupid boys." She snorted.

...

"Hi Paul! How's it going?"

"Fine."

"I'm Dawn."

"Hn."

"Know what you're going to order?"

"No."

"What do you want? I can help!"

"No."

"O-kay. Soo what instrument do you play?"

"Bass."

"Really? Cool! So does Leaf. I play the keyboard, mainly."

"..."

"You don't talk much, do you?"

"..."

"Fine, be that way." Dawn huffed and faced her brunette friend.

...

May fiddled with her dress as Drew sat by her.

"Hey, I'm Drew." He stuck out his hand.

She grabbed it and gave a quick shake. "May."

He nodded and leaned back, looking at his menu. "So, May. How long have you been in a band?"

"A few years, why?"

He looked at her and perked a brow. "Really? Aren't you only like, twelve?"

A vein popped on her forehead. "I'm seventeen, thank you very much." She sneered.

"Still younger than me." He boasted proudly, pointing his thumb to himself. "I'm eighteen."

May snorted. "At least I have the maturity of a seventeen year old, ass hole."

"Tsk tsk. Such foul language from such a little girl." He cooed, ruffling her hair.

May hissed and got ready to bite his face off when Dawn tapped her shoulder.

"Maaaaaay, Paul won't talk to me." She crossed her arms and pouted.

May scratched her head. "I'm not having much luck either." She glared at her green-haired neighbor. "I wonder how the other girls are doing."

Her question was answered when she saw Gary and Ash slumped over in a coma-like fashion, and a malicious Misty.

May sighed and looked over at her fellow brunette, who was suspiciously silent. "Just what is she up to?"

...

Leaf sat in between Paul and Solidad, her hands folded on her lap. The boys seemed nice, but she couldn't get herself to talk to them. Not like anyone could blame her, all trust in men was shattered when he broke her heart.

A ten year old girl coward underneath her bed, clutching a small blanket. She was hiding- again. It had been happening more often these days. He would come home drunk and threaten her, beat her, do whatever he pleased. He was a horrible alcoholic. He drowned all of his sorrow in beer.

It all began when her mother went out everyday for weeks at a time, only to return in the wee hours of the morning and repeat the process. One day he followed her, only to come back a few hours later, completely wasted.

She remember when her mom came home later that day. Her dad screamed and cursed her for being a 'two-timing useless whore', and her mother whimpered under his wrath, pleading for forgiveness. He reeled his hand back and slapped her in the face, still teetering around in his drunken state. That was the beginning of his violent reign.

Leaf's mother abandoned her a few days later. She ran off with the man she cheated with, and refused to be responsible for a child she had with her violent ex-husband.

At the age of fourteen, she ran away. Left the town and enrolled at a trashy public school in the ghettos of Cerulean City. She knew she needed an education somehow, but the more legitimate the school, the more questions asked. She needed a place where people minded their own business. She wasn't used to being cared for.

That's where she met him. He was genuinely interested in her, he watched her back, he even offered her a place at his apartment. It wasn't long before she was his- they were truly in love. He made her trust again. But puppy love made you blind, and that's what happened to Leaf.

He took advantage of her. Sure, at first it was 'Babe' this, and 'Love' that, but it changed to 'Bitch where have you been' and over-possessive threats. It led to her being completely cut-off from civilization. He was a spitting image of her dad.

Until that one day. He came home exceptionally drunk and giddy. He forced himself on her, something her dad hadn't even done. She fought back the horny drunk as best ask she could, until her body could no longer take the strain and collapsed.

A few weeks later and she was finally free from his grasp. But at what cost? The bastard abandoned her when he thought she was knocked up.

Broken, beaten, and abandoned, she laid in the street to rot. Life seemed useless then.

Until a red-headed beauty came to her side and took her in. Their stories were told and they knew that they would always have each other.

And they became inseparable.

Leaf shuddered. Her mind tried to repress to blurring memories, but they permanently scarred her. She knew all men weren't like that, but she couldn't help but be paranoid. Her emotions felt blocked; She couldn't express how she was feeling.

She looked up to see her friends chatting away, arguing or not, they looked like they were having a fun time. So if they could trust them, she surely could too, right?

'Snap out of it, Leaf. It's not like you have to make friends with them. They're your competition. That's it.' She thought. She needed to distract herself.

She laughed evilly. 'Which means some serious initiation pranking needs to be done.'

...

May skeptically watched Leaf's facial expression change. She was concerned when Leaf looked depressed, happy when she started to smile, then absolutely horrified when a mischievous grin appeared on her face.

"The girl has gone absolutely mad." She sighed.

Their meals arrived and the chatting slowed. Eventually their dishes were empty and the group evacuated the restaurant.

"So it was really nice meeting you guys." Dawn smiled and tilted her head adorably. "This tour should be interesting."

Gary pouted. "Just interesting? With us around, it's gonna be a freaking party 24/7." He swung his arm around Ash and the two friends began 'woot'-ing.

"You Palletwits look like Mankeys." The red-head scoffed.

"...Palletwit, Misty? Really? That makes no sense." May stared incredulously at her friend.

Misty shrugged. "They're from Pallet Town. And they're twits. It makes complete sense."

"HEY." Leaf frowned. "I'm from Pallet, I'm not an idiot!"

The brunette Palletwit stopped chanting. "If your from Pallet, how come this is the first time I've seen you? I mean, Pallet Town is pretty small."

Leaf looked down. "I-um...Wasn't allowed to go out much. And, um. I moved to Cerulean City after a short while, so that's probably why..."

The girls gave her a sympathetic look while the boys were confused at the reactions they were getting.

Leaf gave an awkward laugh and looked up. "So what are we gonna do now? Oh! I know. We should go to your house." She smiled innocently, though anyone could see the mischievous glint in her eye.

May stared her down. 'What is she doing...?'

Leaf's eyes momentarily flickered to May, she continued her innocent smile, but for a split second, smirked and winked deviously at her friend.

"Ohhh." May said in realization. She nodded and put on a faux grin. "Yeah! We totally should."

Drew studied the brunettes, curious about their silent interaction. "Uh, okay. Guess we can chill at my place. The guys are staying over tonight, anyways."

Leaf's grin became huge. "Perfect."

...

"Just make yourselves at home." Drew said, tossing his jacket on his sofa.

They were in a large white house that had mahogany detailing surround the doors, windows, and roof. The outside was completely surrounded by a black fence with an intricate iron design. The yard was covered with an array of flowers and an adorable little rose-bush maze where quite a few wild Roselia and Budew roamed freely. A small, artistic fountain could be found in the center of it.

The room they were in was large, but simply decorated. A massive plasma TV hung peacefully on one wall, whilst the others held various paintings and bookshelves. In the center of the room was a large U-shaped couch and a few brightly colored beanbags, which faced the television.

The boys immediately sprawled out around the room. Gary and Ash grabbed a Wii from one of Drew's shelves and started playing an intense game of... DDR. Paul got comfy in a bean bag and proceeded to pull out his phone and tap furiously at it. Drew spread out on his couch and grabbed the latest issue of 'MYX Magazine'. He flipped a few pages then looked up at the girls expectantly. "Well?"

Dawn smiled. "We're gonna take a look around. Is that okay? I mean, you have such a nice house." She batted her eyelashes.

He smirked and flipped his hair. "Sounds good. Try not to get lost."

"We won't." Misty giggled, rolling her eyes as she turned around.

...

The girls made their way to the fountain and sat on its rim.

"Soo." Misty turned to Leaf. "What's the plan?"

The green-eyed brunette grinned. "I thought you'd never ask."

She began to whisper to her friends, occasionally looking around for any unwanted nosy boys.

"That's brilliant and all Leaf, but how did you even plan this? I mean, up to the point of when we actually met them, we thought they were girls!" Asked a confused Dawn.

Leaf stuck her index finger in the air and close her eyes. "A good prankster is always prepared for a change of plans. Though I'm kinda depressed that we can't do the frozen-peanut-butter-in-your-bra trick." She pouted.

The girls sweat dropped and scooted away from the 'Pranking Goddess'.

May stood up and grinned. "Anyways... Let's go prank some guys!" She cheered.

The girls nodded and went to Leaf's car to get the necessary equipment for their task.

...

The girls walked back into Drew's living room, their purses unusually large. But of course, this went unnoticed by the boys.

Drew looked up from his magazine. "Enjoy your tour?"

"You bet." Misty grinned. She turned to face the Palletwits passed out on the floor from their hard-core dancing. "Hey Ash, wanna go grab a bite to eat?" She smiled cheekily.

He groaned and sat up. "uhnn...Huh? Wait. Food? Okay." He grabbed her hand and dragged the poor red-head to the kitchen.

'My turn.' Dawn snickered. "Hey Paul?"

"Hn." He hn'd.

She poked her fingers together. "Wanna have a battle?"

He snorted. "...your freaking kidding me."

Dawn gasped and grabbed May. "That's the longest thing he's ever said to me!"

"..."

"So is that a yes?" She asked. "I'll leave you alone for the rest of the day if you do!"

He looked at her. "Fine." And with that, he stood up and walked out the door.

Dawn stared after him incredulously. "It worked? Cool. WAIT FOR ME PAULIE!" She screamed, running after him.

'Two down, two to go.'

"Drew?" Leaf fluttered her eye lashes. "I only got to see the outside of your house, can I see the rest?"

"Sure." He said, his eyes never leaving the magazine.

Leaf stared at him. "So... can you show me?" She tapped her foot impatiently.

"Go ask Gary. I'm busy."

Her nostrils flared as she got ready to tackle the snobby eggplant. "WHY YOU-"

May grabbed her arm. "Shh. Just take Gary instead, it'll work either way." She whispered. Leaf nodded and dropped her fist. "Gary! Will you show me the rest of the house?"

Gary groaned and opened his eyes to a pouting Leaf. A quick blush crossed his face as he closed his eyes once again. "I'm tired..."

"Pwetty pweeeease?" She jutted out her lip even further.

The boy sighed and stood up. "Women. You just can't resist their charms." He defeated trudged off to the next room. He poked his head in. "You coming?"

Leaf grinned successfully and skipped off, mouthing 'Good luck'.

"Erm... I'm just going to go to the bathroom, okay Drew?" May asked.

"Mhmm..." He replied, flipping another page of his magazine.

...

Leaf followed Gary around the upper floor of the house. "Do you mind if I let my Leafeon out? I'm sure she'd like to see this place, too."

"Sure, no problem." He nodded, and turned to go down a particularly long cooridor. "This," He gestured, "is where you can find our bed rooms. Drew has so many guest bedrooms that we have our own permanent ones here." He chuckled.

Leaf whistled and took out a pokeball. "Come on out, Leafeon!" In a flash, her eevee-lution was out and following her around.

Gary looked curiously and Leafeon. "I have an Umbreon, but he's not on me right now though. My pokeballs are down stairs. Leafeon looks really healthy."

"Thanks," She grinned. "I'm sure your Umbreon is awesome."

He smirked at her. "Of course he is. Like owner like pokemon." Leaf rolled her eyes.

Gary snickered and pointed to a mahogany door with an intricate design carved in, a little wooden 'D' hanging on it. "That's Drew's room, obviously." He took a few steps down and pointed to a room across from it. The door was completely plain, other then a simple 'P' and a 'DO NOT ENTER' sign. "The grumpy dude's room. And the one next to it with the pokemon posters is Ash's." He took a few more steps down to a door across from Ash's. It had a bunch of postcards from various regions and stats on pokemon. A little 'G' hung on the door frame. "This is mine." He turned the knob, and with a click, the door opened and the two stepped into the room.

Gary ran at full speed and jumped on his bed. "And thats the end of your tour. Any questions?"

"Nope. Just one thing." She said, her hands behind her back as she nonchalantly took steps closer to him.

"What?"

"Leafeon, Sleep powder!"

The eeveelution sent a shower of dust towards a very drowsy Gary.

"Damn...it... Leaf..."

Leaf grinned and recalled her Leafeon. She took out a rope and bound the poor boy's arms behind his back.

She took out another pokeball. "Venusaur, lets go!" The large bulb pokemon roared.

"I need you to-very gently-help me bring Gary to the living room, please." Venusaur grunted and lifted the lifeless boy onto its back. Leaf jumped on her pokemon, holding a permanent marker to Gary's face as the pocket monster strolled down the large-enough hallways.

...

May scurried to Drew's room, a compact bottle of purple hair dye in her hand. She doubted it would work, but Leaf guaranteed that the hair-dye brand was so potent it could dye his entire head in ten minutes. And knowing how long Drew takes on his hair, ten minutes was nothing.

She stepped into his huge marble bathroom, too preoccupied with the current mission at hand to admire it all. Drew's shower had his shampoos and conditioners listed by day. "Figures..." She mumbled. "Only he would bother organizing his freaking shampoos." She poked around until she found one labeled 'Saturday'. "Perfect." She said to herself, as she poured out most of the conditioner and dumped the entire bag of dye in.

"Poor Drew will never see it coming." May snickered. "Now to get the show on the road."

May went back downstairs to the living room, where Drew still had his face buried in the magazine. She pulled out a can of spray cheese and aimed it at his face.

'3...2...1...' PSSSSSSHHHHHT.

Drew's face became an unnaturally red color that, with his green hair, made it look like Christmas came too early.

"WHAT THE HELL MAY. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?"

May shrugged. "I thought you needed a shower."

"AND YOU COULDN'T JUST TELL ME?" His face was glowing so brightly, Rudolph would've been jealous.

"...Oops."

After a some very inappropriate language and an array of colorful words, Drew stormed up to his room to take a shower.

May giggled. "Enjoy your hair for now, Drewie."

...

"Okay Paul, does a one-on-one battle sound okay?" Dawn shouted from across Drew's backyard.

He nodded, and took out a pokeball.

"Pachirisu! Spotlight!" She threw the red-and-white ball in the air as the electric squirrel popped out.

"Weavile, stand by for battle." Paul repeated her actions, only to have a menacing purple ice/dark type to come out.

The two pokemon bantered back and forth, lethal beams of electricity and ice shooting out between the two pokemon.

After a few minutes of battling, the small electric type collapsed in defeat.

"You did a great job, Pachirisu. Return!" Dawn said, returning her Pokemon.

Paul wordlessly returned his Weavile, nodding his head in approval.

Dawn picked up her purse. "Great job. I'll race you inside!" She giggled and ran as fast as her legs could carry her, knowing fully well that the stoic teen would walk as slow as he possibly could.

She snuck inside the living room and looked around. Only May was there, relaxing on one of the two bean bags.

"May! The plan is in action NOW."

The brunette nodded and stood by the door to keep watch. Dawn went to fast work and pulled out a container from her bag.

Quick drying super glue.

She snickered and rubbed the glue onto Paul's beanbag. "I'll just buy them a new beanbag after all of this."

'Better hurry up.' She thought to herself. "And... done! May take the other beanbag!"

May nodded and bounded onto the only other squishy chair. Dawn obnoxiously spread herself out on the sofa, not leaving a single space available.

Right on cue, the grumpy teen walked in slowly.

"I beat you, Paul!" Dawn stuck her tongue out.

Paul slumped in his chair. "Hn." After shifting around until he found a comfortable position, he pulled out his phone and proceeded to tap on the screen.

...

"So what are you up for, Ash?" Misty asked, taking out a carton of Green Tea Ice Cream from the freezer.

They were in the house's massive kitchen, looking for something to eat.

"Ooh are you having ice cream?" She nodded. His eyes widened. "Can I pleeeease have some?"

She smirked. 'Hook, line, and sinker.' "Of course Ash! Go sit at the table, I'll get you some."

"D'aww, thanks Mist!" He tackled her into a hug and skipped off to the dining room.

'Mist?' She shook her head, trying to remove the vibrant blush growing on her cheeks. 'Adorable or not, I hope you like wasabi.' Misty grinned evilly as she took out a package of the spicy Asian sauce from her purse.

She concealed the wasabi in the center of the ice cream. After making a non-wasabified version for herself, she brought both into the dining room.

"Aww Mist, that looks so gooooood! Thanks a bunch!" He cheered, relieving her of his ice cream scoop.

'Again with that nickname? The boy is trying to kill me.' Misty smiled guiltily and sat down.

Ash scooped up a spoonful of spicy ice cream. "Here we go!" He brought the scoop to his face-

"WAAAAIT." Misty screamed, grabbing the spoon.

He looked at her curiously. "Whats wrong, Mist?" He tilted his head to the side.

'I hate this guy.' She grumbled, switching the two plates. "You should have my ice cream...I-ah... You should have the bigger one since I won't eat too much."

He studied the two plates. "They look exactly the same to me." He chuckled, "But it's what you want that matters." He smiled an oh-so-sweet smile.

She melted into a puddle on the inside as he grinned while eating. "Awnt choo gonna hab sum?" He said with his mouth full, pointing to her plate.

"Ahh-no. Well. Uhh. I can't really..." She mumbled.

"Aww c'mon Mist, just try it!" He said, taking her spoon and shoving it in her mouth.

Misty couldn't complain at the sweet gesture, but the burning sensation growing throughout her throat was overwhelmingly painful. And as she could feel her face swelling from the heat, her face became a dangerous shade of red, whether it was from the spiciness, or a certain ebony-haired teen and his boyish charms, she couldn't tell.

And then she passed out.


FINALLY DONE. I pulled an all-nighter to get this done for you guys. So if I misspelled something, or completely left something out, please tell me.

Enjoy! I was going to do the laxatives prank on Ash, but I found out that its can hospitalize people, and I would hate to do that to Ashy-boy.
So don't plan on doing it in real life.

Any ideas on why I chose the band name, Roulette? Guess correctly and I'll dedicate the next chapter to you. xD

Part 1 of the pranking. Next chapter will have the outcomes of the pranks... and the consequences. DUN DUN DUN. And the beginning of the tour.

Palletwit.

Added Leaf's drama stuff in this chapter. No shippie moments yet... Not until the secrets come out, at least.

Review if you love me. 'Cause I love you readers. :D
