How many days has it been? 5? 6? I don't know, but it's been kinda lonely...

~Happy reading to you all!~

-MAIKEE'S CHAPTER-

"Ahh~" Jessica sighed in contentment as she arrived with the empty cart of books, arriving from setting them into the shelves. "Yesterday was soo fun! Plus I have this giant pile of candy. Gosh! This is going to take forever to get rid of! I wonder if we should pile all the candy and then split by everyone's tastes..."

"But what if no one likes a certain kind?" I asked as I ran the scanner over the back of an Artemis Fowl book (I have read the entire collection, fear my skills), "Or everyone wants the same?"

"Okay then!" Jessica chirped as she started filling in the cart with today's pile of returned books, "How about this: we split them equally to everyone!"

I smiled to myself in amusement, "Yeah, sure sounds like a plan."

"Yes! Okay, so how many do you think everyone brought?"

I shook my head and tossed her the book I had scanned to place into the returned cark, "We had a sleepover! Everyone except Sammy and Lei had bags as filled with candy as much as yours!"

"That's it!" She suddenly slammed a fist on the desk in front of me, startling me and nearly making me drop my book in surprise, "We won't let Sammy and Lei have candy!"

"But what if they have a really good reason to not have one?"

"Like what? They got lost somewhere and had to fight this really though person, barely escaping with their lives?"

We shared a disbelieving look, "Yeah right!"

The silence left me continuing scanning the returned books before passing them to Jess as she placed those in her cart. The silence was pleasurable and I was starting to hum a song to myself when Jess suddenly leaned on the counter next to me and asked:

"You want to know a secret?"

I glanced at her before giving her the book I was holding, "Sure. What's up?"

"Have you noticed that Bianca, Roth, all the teachers even! Even Master Lance! That all of them are acting weird?"

I recalled this morning's class and how Mr. Dale was oddly stuttering through his usual calm and confident demeanour, "Yeah. That is weird. What do you think was up with Mr. Dale this morning?"

"I think I might have an idea..." She teased in a sing song.

My eyebrows shot up in surprise before it was my turn to lean on the counter, gut filled with curiosity of the subject, "Do tell!"

"Weellll..." She drawled, as if mulling over telling me or not. I rolled my eyes and nudged her, and she brightened up instantly, "Okay! So you know when Bianca and Roth were called to the office about a week ago?"

"Yeah, wasn't that some sort of emergency meeting or something?"

Jess shook her head, serious expression still solid on her features as her red locks flew lightly about, "No! It's more than that!"

I waited for her to continue. When she didn't and kept staring off into space, I nudged her and she came back to life.

"Oh yeah! Right! So I decided to follow them! Andrew came with me so we—"

"Wait a second!" I interrupted, a sly suggestive smirk sliding to my lips, "Andrew? Was he who you were daydreaming about just a few seconds ago?" Cue wiggling of eyebrows.

Her face turned red in an instant, "A-anyway! So we were listening in to what they were saying!"

I stopped my teasing expression and turned serious, "What were they talking about?"

"Something about a missing book that was stolen from the library. There was something else..." She scratched the back of her head nervously, "...but I kinda forgot, you see?"

I nodded and refrained from hitting my own forehead at her forgetfulness, "What are we going to do then? Figure out what book it was?"

She jumped up excitedly and pointed a finger to my face, "Good idea, Mai! Let's do that!"

...Mai?

I scowled at her, "That's going to be hard to do though. The book wasn't taken out, and there are about a thousand books to check in this library!"

"Just print the list and check out those who were already taken out!" Jess told me, pointing at the return box. I followed her finger and watched as my Vaporeon and her Leafeon came up to us with book-filled-bags in their mouths. You're right if you guessed that our Pokémon was helping us with our jobs. Don't you dare complain if you haven't seen the indoors of this library. It's freakin' large, okay?

"Good thinking." I agreed before turning over to the computer and checking the files. Once my eyes hit the list of books, my jaw fell to the floor in shock. "Huston, we have problem."

"What is it, captain?"

I picked up my jaw from the floor and locked it back into place, "...How the heck are we supposed to check on DIX MILLES LIVRES?" (...TEN THOUSAND BOOKS?)

-LINEBIATCH-

When I started working, it was around 3:30 when classes usually ended.

Jessica applied with me and we soon became close.

Our Eeveelutions were eventually allowed to help us, as long as they wore a small ribbon around their neck with a name tag that states that they work here and they belong to us. I know it's a bit weird, but they knew where everything was when asked and really helped a lot of the people here (even more so than us, to our surprise).

Now it's around 9 o'clock, I'm on the ground sobbing and clutching onto a book called The Market by J. M. Steele (one of my favs, btw) with Vaporeon licking the top of my head encouragingly as she sat on the long rolled up list of a thousand books (minus those checked out, of course). How the heck did the teachers figure out which book was stolen while we're here wasting our time and bawling our eyes out?

"How much did we do?" Jessica moaned from next to me, swatting her Leafeon away with an almost completely limp hand. She groaned and rolled over instead, grabbing Forest and hiding her face into his chest.

"I think..." I nudged Vaporeon away and sighed in relief as the books we crossed out of the list were numbered (to keep track of how many we did), "...about six-hundred-ninety-three?"

"Oh. Em. Gee." She sobbed, emotionally drained. I joined her, unable to stop myself.

"There you are, Jess!" Same chirped as she rounded the corner of teen books, "I've been looki—what the hell happened here?"

"Ten thousand books!" I moaned out, hitting myself over the head with The Market in hopes that this was all just some sick twisted dream. "...dix milles livres!"

"What about ten thousand books?" Sam asked obliviously, walking over our legs so that she can pry The Market out of my hands and whack us over the head again.

"Hey!" Jess hissed letting go of Forest to cradle her cranium, "That's my head you're hitting! Watch it!"

"Yeah!" I chimed, "Let us wallow around and die in peace!"

"Not until you tell me what happened!" She sing-sang, hitting us over the heads again. We groaned and glared at her from the ground bellow, finally giving in and spilling our stupid decision of why we were searching through the books.

"Why don't you just ask Bianca which book it was?" Sam asked after our explanation. It was getting late so she decided to come pick us up, only to see us planted to the floor. "I'm sure she wouldn't mind telling you."

"I tried that already...!" Jess wailed like a little kid, arms flailing above her head.

I ducked to avoid a slap to the face before asking, "I'm gonna continue tomorrow, you wanna come help?"

Sam smiled and helped us drag ourselves back up to our feet. "Sure. I don't mind. It can't be that hard."

Jess and I shared a look. She was totally underestimating The List.

-LINEBIATCH-

A new day, another six more hours of searching through books at the library. Sam was busy with the library shift to help us (when we ditched our post, we left a lot of books unregistered) so instead of joining us, she gave us the idea to get our roommates.

With that great idea (why didn't I think of that?) in mind, I explained to my roommate what was going on, and Jillian happily said she'd help and would even drag Tyson along. Rebecca, Jessica's roommate, was here with us, pointing at every book she recognized while I hurried to scribble them off the list. Jillian was on those long rolling ladders and was flying from left to right, up and down, telling me all that existed. Tyson was beneath her, making sure she wasn't going to fall off anytime soon, and Jessica was with me repeating the names being told in case I missed some.

We were already working three times as fast, and it was a bit hard for me to keep up, but hey, as long as this gets done, I'm happily stringing along!

"That's makes..." I said as I scribbled off another name, "...one-thousand, one-hundred-seventy-nine!"

"Wow!" Jillian grinned as she hopped off the ladder—much to a flustered Tyson's horror—, "We did a lot!"

"Yup!" Jessica took the list from me and ripped it in half, much to my dismay. She ripped it even more and tossed the names of the books we already saw over her shoulder. She magically took tape out of nowhere and taped all of the pieces she had together, creating an even shorter list of what was left to do, writing at the top which number we were at.

"So around nine thousand more to go?"

We shared determined looks and nodded fiercely.

We were going to finish this list. No matter what.

-LINEBIATCH-

Day one, two people, 394 (if you count the one I was holding in my hands) books.

Day two, five people, 1179 books.

Day three, seven people (Andrew and Rymero were wondering what we were doing so they decided to hep), 4244 books.

Day four, twelve people (Zak, Xavier, Chanel, Jason, and Sam finally joined), and we boomed through the thousand book mark (haha, bookmark! What a pun!).

"Well?" Sam leaned over my shoulder at the once-again shortened list, "What's the name of the missing book?"

"That's the problem!" I yelped, pointing furiously at the titles, "There are still four books missing!"

"What?" Xavier hissed as he snatched the list from my hands, "It's impossible that we missed one! We double checked each row when we were done with them!"

"Vapo-vaporeon!" Vaporeon pawed at my leg to get my attention. I glanced at her in wonder, and she and Forest were running towards the return bin that they usually checked on at the end of the day. This was her way of telling me where she was going.

"Maybe someone's in the library reading those books!" Tyson suggested with a wandering eye, "Maybe they're still here!"

"What are the titles?" Rebecca asked before rudely snatching the sheet away from her brother, "There's the Caillou: Merry Christmas!, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Alto Mare: Legends and Rumours, and Wicked Lovely. Which do you think would rather be most stolen out of these four?"

"Wait a second!" Jason interrupted us, crossing his arms with a thoughtful gleam in his eyes, "We have to figure out the reason why they stole the book first!" He glanced at Jessica and Andrew, who were standing next to each other, "So tell!"

"We can't tell you that." Andrew answered with a raised eyebrow, "We're not the crooks here. We don't know what they're thinking."

Jason blushed lightly in embarrassment when a couple of heads turned to him, "Uh, what I mean is that... when you were listening to the teacher's conversation, were there hints that could help us figure out the book?"

Andrew and Jessica shared a look before Andrew shrugged and spoke again, "They said something about the DMA, if that has anything to do with it."

Rymero suddenly snapped his fingers, grabbing all of our attention as his expression lightened up, "That's it! The book that they stole was Alto Mare: Legends and Rumours!"

"How can you be so sure?" Zak asked from next to him, opening one of his closed eyes to look at the boy.

"Just think about it, the DMA has rumours that it was once activated to protect the city from disaster. While the book stolen is about rumours and legends. It makes sense."

Nods of approval circled our team. I was seriously starting to wonder if our school was going to be under attack anytime soon.

"S-so what do we do now? A-are there doubles of that book?" Chanel asked after a long moment of silence. I shook my head at her while Sam replied.

"It was a limited edition. It's the only one in the whole town!"

"Talk about lame..." Jason muttered under his breath. Sam gave him a look and punched his arm. He looked away and rubbed the soon-to-be-sore spot.

"Can't you check on the computer who's the last person that checked it out?" Zak asked, blinking both of his eyes at me.

I nodded and made my way over to the technological square. "I can do that. But why?"

"Maybe the last person can tell us what it's about."

"Good idea!" I typed in the name of the book in the library search engine and waited a few seconds as it loaded. I clicked on the name that popped up and blanched at the result. "Uh-oh..."

"What's wrong?" Jessica hopped over and looked over my shoulder, "Did you find—uh-oh..."

"What?" Rebecca snapped with a cross of her arms, "What's wrong?"

"The last person to have taken out the book was..." I gulped and looked at our group, "...Old Man Lorenzo! Bianca's granddad!"

-POKÉBALLBIATCH-

A long time ago, while Alto Mare was still just a little town, an old couple were walking along the shore when they found two children unconscious on the shores. The two brought them home and nursed the children until they were healthy. However, these children seemed not to have parents of their own, so they grew with the old couple. Soon however, a dark cloud appeared over Alto Mare and rained down the darkness. Whatever it hit, it turned that part into itself. One of these shards was about to his the old couple while they were walking outside with the two children. But before it hit, the two children grew, and soon the shard was instantly destroyed, as well as all the others that was raining down upon Alto Mare.

The two soon floated upwards and revealed themselves to be the Eon Pokémon; Latios and Latias. They summoned more of their kind, one of them carrying a strange blue orb. Their power along with the orbs shown upon the dark cloud, obliterating it. And as a token to the people of Alto Mare for helping the two "children", they personally gave that orb to the couple. After a few moment of peace, the same two Latios and Latias returned back to them.

-POKÉBALLBIATCH-

"Long ago the Aerodactyl and the Kabutops were taught by an evil trainer to attack people. So everyone lived in fear until Latios came and brought water to the town, drowning the evil Pokémon and turning our streets into canals. That's when the town was called Alto Mare, meaning high sea. That's also why they build the DMA. They wanted to make sure nothing would disrupt their peace again." Old man Lorenzo smiled at us before turning around with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing at the DMA almost lovingly.

"Grandpa Lorenzo!" Jillian asked as she and Tyson joined his sides, "Did you know Latios and Latias?"

"I've known them since their father brought the water to our town. He rescued the people from a life of terror and left us with this beautiful water city. But it was too much for him." Lorenzo's gaze suddenly turned sad as he spoke on, his eyes lightly brushing over the machine as if he was recalling deep memories. "He used all of his power on the water and then vanished in thin air. But in his place was a beautiful crystal orb called the Soul Dew, said to contain the spirit of Latios!"

"So Latios died saving the town and his children became orphans!" Jessica summarized from next to me as we joined them.

"I'll tell you a secret, kids. That beautiful jewel not only contains Latios' spirit, but in the wrong hands, it has the power to eliminate our town. It must never leave its pool. So you can see, it's important that its location be held a secret!"

"Sam...?" Jason suddenly piped up from behind us, "Are you okay?"

I quickly turned around, hoping that she hadn't fainted or something drastic that can make us all have heart attacks. But no, the girl's large caramel eyes were wider than usual and her skin was unusually pale as if she had just seen a ghost. What happened?

"Grandpa Lorenzo..." Sam's voice picked up slowly, mixed with the emotions of sadness, horror, and the most prominent, guilt. "I have a secret to tell you..."

Lorenzo frowned in worry, but still smiled encouragingly, "What is it, my dear?"

"I..." Sam looked at Jason for insurance. He nodded and she started again, "I saw the pool where the Soul Dew was supposed to be, Halloween night." I glanced at Lorenzo. His frown deepened and he looked like he wanted to interrupt, but he let her continue anyways. "The Latios was attacking behind me, but when I reached it, it suddenly stopped. I wondered why... but then I noticed it."

"What is it, dear?" Lorenzo urged, his eyes looking eager, "What did you notice?"

"Two cloaked figures. They were talking about taking the Soul Dew from the pool."

"W...what happened?" Chloe piped up, sending an apologetic look at the looks she received, "Did they take the Soul Dew?"

To our relief, Sam shook her head of brown hair, "No... I think they just came to look, because they turned to leave the second they arrived."

"Latios and Latias didn't do anything?" Lorenzo asked eventually, a hand going up to stroke his white beard.

"Only Latios. At least, that's what I heard them call it..."

"We have our own secret to tell!" We all turned around to the employee's door as it slammed open, showing LeiMei, Darren, and Jacob, all with a small polite smile on their lips, "We met with Latias on that same night!"

"Then that means...!" Rymero started with realization.

"Yes." Darren nodded sagely with his crossed arms, "Latios and Latias are real."

Sorry again for the shortness~

~MARMAR!

MarMar was happily cuddling her Raichu (to his dismay) when a Lucario suddenly decided to sneak up on her and scare the crap out of her being (but not literally, that would be gross.)

"Umm... Lucario, wassup?" MarMar asked, slowly retracting her arms from her Pokemon as the Lucario watched her with hawk-like eyes.

I'm looking for my master.

MarMar nodded sagely, magically understanding what he was saying even though she had no idea how to use aura, "Shadowman101's talking with Zak in the dressing rooms."

Thank you.

"No problem!" MarMar chirped, but Lucario was already out the door. A few moments passed before Milsu22 magically appeared in her room with a puff of smoke.

"Are you talking to yourself again?"

MarMar glared at him, "No! At least, not today!"

Milsu22 rolled her eyes when she immaturely shook her fist at him, before he walked away (because apparently, you can only appear with the puff of smoke, not the other way around).

MarMar sobbed in her sudden loneliness before pulling out her phone, "MERRRRIIIII44477777! WHERE ARE YOU? I'M SO SAD AND LONELY!" (Because her Raichu was suddenly invisible and she couldn't find him anymore)

"Um..." Crazybarks sounded afraid on the other side of the line, "MarMar, are you okay? You called me instead of Meri47, do you know that?"

"MERI47! YOUR VOICE HAS CHANGED!"

Crazybarks sighed before trying again, "MarMar, calm down, it's me: Crazybarks. Do you remember me?"

"Sob. No?"

"I'll take that as a yes..."

"OH! I REMEMBER YOU! YOU'RE THE PERSON WHO RECRUITED KIERA RIGHT?"

Crazybarks sighed in relief that she wasn't forgotten, "Yes. That's me."

"AND THAT LEAFEON LOVER... what's her name again?"

"XBluexrainx?"

"YES! THAT! Where can I find her?"

"Why?"

"Because she stole the last poptart. I want my revenge."

Crazybarks sighed and shook her in exasperation.

Not again.

THE END. OR IS IT?

(To anyone who want to be in a random sketch like this, just tell me which Pokemon you ABSOLUTELY love and you will most likely join MarMar, Meri47, Milsu22, Crazybarks, XBluexrainx, Shadowman101 in their randum adventures XD)

~MARMAR

The ninja squirrels' leader. Yeah. You better fear this sexyness.

And by fear, I mean review.
