Hey, guys! I am soooo sorry that I haven't updated latley. It is because
-I'm too lazy
-I'm recovering from jetlag since school is over (:D) And I flew, like, halfway across the world (:'(
-Since finals are over ;D I am recovering from StudyingMoreThanIUsuallyDoMakingMeExausted syndrome.
And, here is the story! It might be bad and OOC giving my conditions, and this is the last chapter. Enjoy!
Gary's eyes adjusted to bright light flashing down on him. His first thought was Where the heck am I? And where's Leaf!? He saw a tall woman with blue hair, a golden crown and a peasant dress glaring down at him.
"Who are you? Where am I? And where is Leaf!?" He asked.
"Peasant. She's next to you. Can't you see!?" Gary turned, and too his relief, lay an unconscious Leaf.
"If you want to see Leaf alive, tell me where your brothers are." Johanna demanded.
"I don't know where Ash and Drew are, and what did you do to Leaf!?" He asked.
"She's knocked out. But, I don't mind harming her...unless you tell me where my daughters are!" Johanna thundered.
Gary sighed. Either it was his girlfriend, or brothers that would die. "I'll tell you where they are, on one condition: You don't harm them OR Leaf."
Johanna thought for a minute. "Agreed."
Half an hour later, Gary, Johanna and her guards were sailing to an island on Johanna's ship. When they reached there, the queen said
"Well? Go and find them!"
"Um, your majesty, I know they're here, but I don't know their exact locations." Gary replied.
"I don't care! Go look for them! And, your precious Leaf woke up. You can take her with you. But don't you dare think of escaping!" Johanna angrily responded.
"Gary?" He turned and saw a feeble-looking brunette. Her eyes were wide with fear, and...were their bruises on her face!?
"Leaf!" He rushed towards her, and gave her a hug. "Are you okay? What did she do to you!?"
Leaf stroked his hair. "Not here. On the island." She whispered. He obeyed, and hand-in-hand they walked of the ship and on the island.
"What. Did. She. Do. To. You." He asked.
"She-she forced me to tell them where May and Dawn are. I wouldn't tell her...and she tortured me until I confessed." Gary balled his fists. How could Johanna do that? Especially to her own daughter?
"But, but she's your mom! Why would she do that!?" He asked.
"Because she's not my mom. While my dad married her, he secretly had an affair with Diantha, the Champion of Kalos region. Then I was born, Dad died, and Johanna reluctantly raised me."
"How come Diantha didn't?"
"I dunno." The quietly walked a bit more, when Leaf was tackled by a brunette.
"Leaf! Thank Arceus your here! WHAT happened to you!?" The girl exclaimed, helping Leaf to her feet. It turned out she was May.
"Hey, Gary! It's been a long time since we were last together!" Drew said, coming next to May.
"I'm okay, May. Where's Ash and Dawn?" Leaf asked. As if on cue, Dawn jumped off a nearby tree.
"Right here, 'lil sis. How're you and Gary? Wait...Is that a bruise on your face!?" She asked.
"AAAA!" The five turned around and saw Ash, lying on the sand. Dawn immediately rushed to him. "Ash! What happened?" She asked. "I tried to jump off the tree and land on my feet like you. I suceeded...but landed on my face instead." Dawn helped him up and he winced. "I think I broke a couple of bones."
"Leaf, what happened to your face?" May asked. Leaf told them the story, while everyone stared at her.
"WTF!? What is WRONG with her? When I see her again, i'll make sure she never messes with you again!" Dawn thundered.
"How dare she!" May angrily exclaimed.
"Wow. What a tyrant." Was all Ash and Drew said.
"That doesn't matter. What does is that Johanna is trying to capture all of us. We have to escape, somehow." Gary said.
"We could build a raft?" Dawn suggested.
"Do you remember what happened last time we made a raft?" Ash said.
"I have no idea. Maybe we could trick mom?" May exclaimed.
"How? She's too smart." Drew replied.
"We should try May's idea. If we do build a raft, i'm pretty sure we'll get caught. It's either that, or risk going back and trying to trick Johanna." Leaf said.
The others reluctantly agreed, and headed back to the ship.
"Glad too see you brought them back." Johanna said. The six reached had reached the ship. "Remember, you promised not to hurt them." Gary said.
Johanna laughed. "You expect me to keep my word? No way!" Guards, attack the boys and Leaf."
"MOM NO! Why do you hate them so much!?" May thundered.
"Because, my princess, they are thieves, an insult to Sinnovian society. Three thieves less is for the best!" Her guards slowly surrounded them.
"Fine. You wanna play rough?" Dawn grabbed a nearby gun and shot all the guards. Noticing her mother's surprised face, she said "What? You can't expect me to NOT know how to defend myself?"
The queen blinked. "Mom, please. Just let us do what we want to do." Leaf said.
Johanna walked to her. "Leaf, I'm so sorry for how I treated you. Forgive me?" No. Gary thought.
"Of course!" Leaf exclaimed, hugging Johanna. She really changed? Gary wondered. He realized he was wrong, when he saw the queen pull out a knife. She moved it towards Leaf...
"NO!" Gary screamed. He ran towards them, grabbed the knife, and stabbed the queen. Leaf pulled back. "Gary? What did you do to her!?" She screamed.
"Leaf, he didn't do anything. Johanna was about to kill you, but Gary saved you." Drew said.
"That reminds me..." From his pocket, Gary pulled out a gum wrapper. He twisted it into the shape of a circle. He knelt in front of Leaf on one knee, holding the wrapper in front of him.
"Leaf. You are amazing, beautiful, kind...you're basically the best girl I could ask for. Please, I love you so much that if you say no, it'll hurt. Will you marry me?" He asked. Leaf smiled.
"I'd love to, BUT...Is my engagement gift seriously a gum wrapper?" She asked, slipping her ring finger into the wrapper-ring.
"YESSS!" He jumped up and hugged her. "Yes? My ring IS a wrapper?" She cried. He pulled back and cupped her face with his hands.
"No. You deserve something much better."
"I now pronounce you, Gary and Leaf, Drew and May, and Ash and Dawn as husband wife." The priest announced. All the guests cheered. Drew and May and Ash and Dawn decided to get married on the same day as Gary and Leaf. It was a very happy day for them, but for Leaf, it juts got happier.
A purple-haired woman in a white and gold dress came up to her. "Are you Leaf Berlitz?" The woman asked.
"Y-yes. Why?" Leaf replied. The woman smiled, and cried a bit. "Um, ma'am, are you okay?" Leaf asked.
"You don't remember me?" The woman asked. Leaf shook her head.
"My dear, I'm Diantha. Your mother."
So, Leaf and her mom are re-united on her wedding day. Drew and May and Ash and Dawn get married. And the story ends! Please R&R.
