I'm updating so much this week! 3 days in a row? I'm unbelievably crazy! Oh, well that's what I get for being bored. I know I didn't mention this god, but his name is Aeolus and he's Gary's dad. I just gave away a godly parent away, oh well. Aeolus is the god of wind. I'm so sorry, but I kind of forgot about him, well now at least you know unless you didn't read this…..
Chapter 8
May's POV
Leaf, Marina, Misty, Dawn, and I got up nervously. I felt like I was going to puke. The rest of them didn't look so great either. I started walking out into the hallway. When we all got out the robed figure followed us.
"I know you girls know that you weren't going to be sent to the office." He said taking off his robe.
I gasped. Dawn and surprisingly Misty fainted. Leaf and Marina looked in shock. Standing in front of us was none other than Athena goddess of wisdom.
"W-why are you h-here?" Leaf choked out.
"Why? I'm here because someone in that room is after you." Athena gracefully pointed to the door.
"D-do you umm know who?" I said trying to sound brave. I failed.
"No, but I'm hoping you girls will find out for me. I will give you this." She gave Leaf an owl plushie, but when Leaf held it, it became a fully grown owl. Athena disappeared in thin air. The weird thing was the owl spoke it said,
"I am Athena's sacred animal. I have been sent to earth as a gift for Leaf Green."
"That's so cool!" Marina finally spoke.
Leaf gulped, "Can you change back to a stuffed animal and we're kind of in school." Leaf said.
"Certainly." It poofed and became the same owl it was a second ago.
"Well, let's go back in before anyone gets suspicious." I said waking up Dawn. Marina woke up Misty.
"Okay, just let me put this away." Leaf stuffed the owl into her bag.
I pushed open the door and to my surprise the teacher was there and everyone acted as if nothing happened.
'This is so weird!' I thought. I went to my seat. My friends did too, but their expressions said they were thinking the same thing as me.
Drew's POV
I kept thinking about May. 'Get out of my head!' I was getting frustrated. I tried concentrating. Then I realized this wasn't our teacher.
"Are you our teacher?" Gary yelled out.
"No, I'm just a messenger. I need Gary, Ash, Drew, and Paul to come with me." He chuckled.
'This guy is crazy creep.' I thought. I got out of my seat I walked into the hallway. Gary was already out, so was Ash. I walked out and Paul was last.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"Nothing much, just that I need to give this to you." He gave us a package heavily wrapped titled, 'To the sons of Dionysus, Hades, Aeolus, and Pan.'
"With that I'm off." He disappeared in a haze of smoke.
"Well, that was strange." Ash said.
"Let's crack this baby open!" Gary had already torn of the first layer. He found a box in it.
"Open it!" I said impatiently. Gary rolled his eyes and opened it. Inside were 5 letters and 5 items. A dagger with vines and leaves on the handle, a sword with an electricity layer with a lightning bolt on the handle, another dagger but this time it had some smoke covering it, an emerald blade with grape vines on the gold handle, and a pitch black sword with some skulls engraved in it.
"Hmm, let me guess who gets the black sword." I said picking it up and handing it to Paul. I picked up the emerald blade. Gary picked up the smoky one; Ash grabbed the lightning blade with greasy fingers. Gary put the lid back on with Jimmy's sword and the letters in it.
"We'll deal with the letters later." Luckily we already knew what to do with the weapons. I tugged on a leaf and my blade turned into a necklace. I put it on. Gary blew on the smoke and it turned into a gray bracelet. Paul found the biggest skull and stabbed his 2 fingers into the eyeholes. It turned into a skull ring. Ash pushed the lightning bolt like it was a button and it turned into a pin in the shape of the lightning bolt. He pinned it on his shirt.
We walked in to the classroom with the package in Gary's backpack and May was still on my mind.
With the girls Leaf's POV
'Why was Athena here? Why would a god come here?' A million questions ran through my head. When the bell rang my friends and I bolted to meet each other. We all had a billion questions.
"C'mon guys let's get out of here." I said not wanting anyone to know about this.
"Okay." Misty replied still embarrassed about fainting.
We walked out. 'Oh my gosh! My date with Gary.' I thought. It was today. I didn't want to ditch him, but I didn't want to go either. There were more important things going on. Hopefully no one remembers.
"Hey, guys what day is it?" Marina asked.
"It's Friday, why?" Dawn thought it over and she smiled wickedly.
"Oh, Leaf, you know what day it is right?" She said grinning.
"Yeah, I know but isn't there more important things to do than that?" I said hoping she would let it go.
"Well, too bad!" Dawn started dragging me to her house. May, Misty, and Marina followed giggling.
Fast forward to Dawn's house still in Leaf's POV
So far Dawn's made me try a pink sequined tank top with a shiny blue skirt. When I saw myself in a mirror I almost ripped the clothes off me. It looked good on Dawn, but on me it looks like crap. Next I tried a white tank top with a black cardigan over it and some dark jeans. It made me look smart. Dawn didn't like it, though. I had only tried on 2 outfits and I was already bored of this. Dawn went into her closet digging out more clothes and found a green sequined top with some white capris. I came out in it and I had to admit I looked good. Dawn approved too.
Next was make up. Thankfully Misty did this for me, which means she let me do it. I lightly put on mascara and a light shade of green eye shadow. Then I put on a little bit of blush and a thin layer of lip gloss.
After that I had May help me with hair and accessories. She wasn't as obsessed as Dawn was with clothes, but she was about 2 levels below Dawn. She made my hair straight and natural looking then she had me try on a green and white headband. Then she had me put on a white hat with a green ribbon around it. Lastly she put a green ribbon clip in my hair, but she didn't like it and went with her favorite decision. The headband. For jewelry that wasn't hard. I put on a simple green diamond necklace in the shape of an owl and a pair of green earrings.
Gary's POV
'Hmm wasn't I supposed to do something today?' I wondered.
'Oh crap, the date!' I had completely forgotten it. I just put on a black shirt and a pair of nice jeans in a hurry and rushed to the door leaving a note for Drew on his door. I wasn't going to let all my hard work go to waste.
I got to my car and drove to Leaf's house. I rang the doorbell a lady that looked like an older version of Leaf answered the door.
"Can I help you?" She asked kindly.
"Umm, yeah, do you know where Leaf is?" I asked politely.
"Yeah, she's with her friend Dawn." She said kindly.
"Okay, thanks!" I got back into my car and dialed Paul's number.
"Hello?" Paul answered.
"Hey Paul, do you know what's Dawn's address is?" I asked.
"Why would you think I know where, troublesome lives?" Paul grumbled.
"Just answer my question." I commanded.
"It's 1029 Street Street." (AN: I'm so creative! XD) Paul hung up afterwards.
"Paul is so in love." I said to myself. I smirked. I pulled up at a house that looked like something Barbie would own. I knocked on the door.
"One second!" A female voice shouted. I waited a few more seconds.
Dawn answered. She looked surprised to see me.
"Gary? Are you here for Leaf and how'd you know where I lived?" Dawn asked.
"I have my sources and Leaf's mom said Leaf was here." I said.
"Oh, umm let me get her." Dawn disappeared and a minute later Leaf appeared. When I saw Leaf my jaw dropped. I quickly closed it. I must look like crap compared to her.
"Ready for our date, Leaf?" I asked giving her a bouquet of flowers.
"Yeah, thanks." She took the flowers.
I held out my hand and she took it. I opened the car door for her she stepped in.
"Thanks." She said.
"Anything for you." I said trying to be romantic.
It didn't work she rolled her eyes. I got in the car and started driving.
Leaf's POV
He started driving.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"It's a surprise." He smirked.
"Tell me!" I said childishly.
"I told you it's a surprise, but if you give me kiss I'll tell you." He said smugly.
I blushed and looked out the window. I could feel his smirk grow and pierce through me. It made me blush harder. I calmed down my blush until it wasn't visible anymore. I turned around and found Gary staring at me.
"Shouldn't you be driving?" I rose an eyebrow.
"Yeah, but looking at you is so much more fun." He said.
"Can you just drive?" I asked.
"Sure." He turned his head to face the road.
"We're here." He said. He opened the door for me.
"Thanks." I muttered under my breath. I looked around we were in some kind of forest.
"Where are we anyway?" I asked hoping he'd finally tell me.
"Just follow me." He said walking toward a path in the forest. I followed him looking at everything we passed. I saw a lot of bug Pokémon. We walked through a clearing, I gasped. In front of us was a beautiful lake. The water was the prettiest blue I saw.
"I'm guessing you like it?" Gary smiled. He sat down and pat the grass next to him.
"Yeah, it's gorgeous. How'd you find this place?" I asked. I sat down next to him.
"I was wandering around this forest one day and I kind of just stumbled upon it." He replied calmly.
"Well, it's really gorgeous." I said dipping my feet in the water. It was a nice cool feeling. Gary did the same thing. I leaned my head on his shoulder watching as the sun set. I sprung up and splashed water on him.
"Hey!" Gary protested and splashed water back at me.
We ended up having a splash fight and getting soaked. We decided it was a good idea to get home.
"Where do you want me to drop you off? Dawn's or your house?" Gary questioned.
"At Dawn's, I don't need my mom wondering why I'm wet." I laughed.
"Okay, to Dawn's house it is." Gary said. We hopped into the car.
He parked on the curb of Dawn's house.
"Bye." I said.
"Can I have my kiss now?" Gary asked. I blushed.
"Nope if you want it you have to catch me." I started running.
Gary got out the car and chased me around. He was faster than me, so he caught me pretty fast.
"Someone wants their kiss badly." I said.
"Yep, now you owe me a kiss." He said leaning in. I blushed, but I leaned in too. Our eyes were closed and when our lips met sparks flew. I pulled away. Even though our kiss was only a few seconds I felt something different for him. It wasn't a bad feeling, but I didn't know what it was.
"Umm well, bye." Gary said getting into his car.
"Yeah, bye." I said.
I knocked on Dawn's door. Her dad answered and I went in. (AN: I have no idea who Dawn's dad is, but I can't use her mom.)
Dawn's POV
While Leaf was gone May, Marina, and I were watching a movie.
The doorbell rang. I peered out my room to see who it was. It was Leaf.
"LEAF!" I screamed grabbing her into my room.
"Why are you wet?" I asked.
"Long story." She replied.
"You have to tell me everything!" I said more curious than ever.
May, Marina, and Misty came out of my room and when they saw Leaf they grabbed her too.
"You have to tell us what happened!" Marina said.
"Okay, I will as soon as I change." Leaf said. Leaf grabbed her clothes and changed out of them. When she came out May dragged her into my room.
"Hey, Leaf. How was the date?" Misty said calmly.
"It was strangely okay." Leaf said.
"You said you would tell us EVERYTHING!" I complained.
"Okay fine." Leaf said and started telling them about her date.
"You kissed him?" Marina squealed.
"Yeah." Leaf said thinking about something.
Leaf's POV
I didn't tell them how I felt about the kiss because I still didn't understand it.
Gary's POV
When I kissed Leaf it was different from any kiss I've had. I was trying to figure out what that feeling I felt when I had kissed her.
Marina's POV the next day
In my first class I saw Jimmy and I found Vincent.
"Vincent, I've decided that I will go on a date with you." I said confidently.
End of Chapter 8
I almost forgot about their date! Good thing I remembered it. This was kind of just a chapter to bond Leaf and Gary more.
