Okay, this is the Pokeshipping chapter. I'm going to try to make this the longest chapter I've ever written, so let's start the chapter! Emphasis on TRY!
Chapter 23
Misty's POV
When May called me I almost fainted. Then when she asked me to help her with a prank I gladly agreed.
"Hey, Misty, do you know any good pranks for little brothers?" May said hopefully.
"First of all, you don't just call me when I think you're passed out and second of all of course I do!" I said hysterically.
"Well, what are they! I need to prank Max, bad!" She said angrily.
"What'd he do?" I said.
"He ran around the neighborhood yelling to people I like Drew. Then he actually got to Drew's house." May growled. I started laughing.
"Hey, stop laughing!" May protested. I regained my composure.
"What made him think you like Drew? The roses? The arguing?" I replied.
"You don't need to know why! Just help me with a prank!" May screamed. I had to take the phone a good foot away.
"Look, calm down. I'll help." I said after she stopped yelling.
"Really, you will! Thanks! What's the prank?" May said excitedly.
"Let's think. How about painting his room pink?" I brainstormed.
"That's going to take too long. We need something that would only take the morning." May replied.
"What does Max do in the morning?" I said getting an idea.
"I don't know. He brushes his teeth, gets dressed, and eats breakfast."
"Anything else?" I said.
"I'm not sure. It's not like I stalk the boy." May said impatiently.
"Okay, fine! We're just going to have to work with that then. How about we let his toothbrush soak in a cup of lemon juice for as long as we can, then put lemon juice in his toothpaste, next is a classic in my version, put black ink or powder on the inside of Max's glasses, then get some hot sauce and put it in a needle and squirt some in his breakfast."
"Sounds fun! Come to my house in the morning, okay?" May said ecstatically.
"Sounds like a plan!" I told May a 'bye' and rummaged through my stuff for some lemons/hot sauce. I gave up when I couldn't find any lemons and went to go take a shower.
I arrived at May's house early the next morning with some hot sauce, a syringe, and a video camera. I took out the spare key I had to May's house. I unlocked the door slowly and crept into May's room. May was still asleep. I rolled my eyes.
"May." I hissed. Nothing. I started to shake her awake. When that didn't work I got some of my hot sauce and dripped some down her throat. Her eyes shot open.
"I'm up! Why does my mouth sting so much?" May said loudly. I clamped her mouth.
"Shh, try not to wake up the whole neighborhood." I said as loud as I dared.
"Sorry, why are you here?" I rolled my eyes.
"For Max's pranking…." I said.
"Oh, right. Then let's go. His toothbrush has been sitting in lemon juice since he used it last night and I filled his toothpaste with some lemon juice, too. Do you have the hot sauce and needle? Oh, we can do the glasses thing right now if you want." May said holding up a bottle of black ink.
"Slow down, yes, I have the needle and hot sauce. Also, yeah, we should do that now." I said taking the ink into my hands and tiptoeing into Max's room. Max's room was painted blue with Pokémon posters all over the walls. Everything was pretty much Pokémon themed.
I saw his glasses perched on a yellow dresser that somewhat resembled a Pikachu. I peeked at Max to see if he was awake. He wasn't. I picked up his glasses and uncapped the bottle of ink. I dipped my finger in the ink regretting why I didn't bring a brush.
I traced along the inside rim of his glasses. When I was done I put them back on the dresser and escaped the room as quickly and quietly as possible. I shut the door behind me and found May eating a chocolate bar…..
"May, is that all you did?" I growled.
"No, I also got ready, see?" May said standing up showing me her usual look that consisted of a red bandana, dark biker shorts under a white skirt, and a red and black top.
"No, I meant…. Actually never mind." I said not wanting to get anymore frustrated.
"Okay, want to grab some breakfast with me?" May said pulling out eggs, bacon, flour, butter, and other pancake/waffle ingredients.
"Sure, I'm here aren't I?" I said shrugging. 'I can't wait to see Max's reaction' I grinned evilly.
Sure enough after I helped clean up May's burnt food I heard some screams.
"Sour, I need sugar!" Max came running into the kitchen grabbing a cup and filling it with sugar. He chugged the whole thing down, if that was possible.
"Phew!" He said wiping off imaginary sweat. Then he realized I was here.
"Misty, I'm guessing you had something to do with that." He said giving me an annoyed look.
"No, what makes you think that?" I lied.
"Well, May wouldn't ever think of something more evil than hiding my glasses, so I'm guessing this was your work."
"I have no idea what you're talking about. I was just picking May up for school a little early." I said falsely.
Max sighed. "Whatever, so did you make any unburned breakfast?" He said hopefully. I nodded and handed him the pancakes I filled with pepper chunks and hot sauce.
"What kind are they?" He said eying the pancakes warily.
"Oh, chocolate." I said glad I put brown food dye on the pepper chunks.
"You're lucky I'm starved or I would make sure you weren't pranking me again." Max said taking the plate and a fork. I dug in the pancakes without syrup.
'Man, May was right. He really doesn't like syrup. The hotter the better.'
He started shoveling the pancakes into his mouth like Ash would. Soon he started sweating like crazy. He dashed to the fridge looking for something to cool down his tongue.
"Milk, ice cream, cheese, yogurt, anything! My tongue is melting!" He wailed.
"You mean this milk?" I held up a gallon of milk. His eyes darted to me and grasped the milk. He ripped off the lid and poured the whole thing into his mouth.
"Ahh, so much better." He said sighing. I grabbed May's hand and dashed outside before Max could get his revenge.
Ash's POV
I woke up at around 9AM.
"Crap, I'm late!" I dashed out of my bed and got ready in a minute. I scarfed down my breakfast and ran to school ignoring every cramp I got. I rushed into the classroom probably looking like a mess. The class started laughing for some reason.
"Mr. Ketchum, next time try to be on time." The teacher said to me.
"Yeah, I'll try next time." I said nervously.
"Oh, and Ash please try to wear some pants next time." I looked down and realized I wasn't wearing any pants. I blushed.
"Can I please call my mom for some pants?" I said not waiting for approval and heading to the office.
"Oh my god, Misty was in that class." My blush deepened. I called my mom who was more than glad to bring me some pants and apparently underwear, which I was gladly wearing. I swear my mom doesn't accept the fact that I'm growing up, but this day probably didn't help that much either.
I dashed back into class with an annoyed teacher and a blushing Misty? I got into my seat ignoring the amused stares my classmates were giving me. When the bell rang I dashed into my next class before someone could laugh at me.
"Ash wait!" Oh, great someone to insul- wait its Misty! I beamed at her immediately. While, my stomach did a flip, was I hungry already?
"Hey, Misty!" I said waiting for her to catch up.
"Want to walk to our next class together?" She asked.
"Sure, why not. It's not like I have to go get more pants." I glanced at her to see her blushing again?
"Did I say something?" I said really confused. I felt confused a lot for some reason. The next thing I know I'm smacked by a fist.
"Hey, that hurts!" I rubbed my head sorely.
"Ash, I swear I'm going to give you a concussion for being a stupid dense boy one day." She hissed.
"I'm going to class now, bye!" I dashed away from an angry Misty. Nearly tripping on a flat surface and running into the door. I stood up and opened the door embarrassed.
"You know Ash; you're not a very skilled athlete." A jogging Misty came up behind me going through the door I was holding open.
"We can't all be skilled at swimming and sports!" I said inching closer to her.
"Yeah, well at least I don't eat the amount for 20 people!" She retorted.
"Take that back!" I said angrily.
"You!"
"No, you!"
"You, take it back!"
"You!"
"No you!
"You!"
"Argh, I give up!" Misty said ending it and stomping off.
"What just happened?" I said walking through the door that now had a dent thanks to Misty's foot. I grabbed my stuff and sat in the desk behind Misty.
Misty's POV
The nerve of that guy! I swear! I don't even remember what we were arguing about, though. I was tempted to slam my face into the desk, but didn't. I didn't think the school desks were exactly 'sanitary.' The teacher walked in and started to teach.
I put my iPod in my pocket, inserted headphones, put them through my jacket sleeve and listened to music during class. I was rocking out to some good old rap when the teacher noticed the blank look on my face and asked me when the Declaration of Independence was signed.
"1993?" I guessed.
"No, now pay attention in class and hand over your iPod." She said leaving her hand in the air. I sighed and handed her my iPod.
"I was right? Never mind, carry on." She said.
"You guessed? Well, so much for guessing." I grumbled.
"Is that sass, young lady?" She glared at me.
"No, ma'am!" I said sarcastically. She walked off.
"Wow, even I'm not dense enough to know you were sarcastic." Ash whistled.
"Shh, you're going to get us in more trouble!" I casted a warning glare at him.
"I was just trying to apologize for whatever it is that we were arguing over." He said raising his hands up in retreat.
"Apology accepted." I smiled at him.
"So, what's up?" Ash said simply.
"You know trying to shush a numbskull." I hoped he'd taken the hint. He didn't.
"Really, who?" He said looking around me to see who I was trying to 'shush.'
"You, numbskull." I rolled my eyes.
"Hey, how was I supposed to know? You didn't make it obvious!" He yelled.
"I'm too tired to even argue with you, so be quiet Ash." I said turning my back to him.
"Why are you so tired?" He questioned.
"I was at May's earlier this morning and I helped her pull some minor pranks on Max." I said waving him off.
"Oh, what kind of pranks?" Ash said getting up into my personal space.
"I just put lemon juice into his toothpaste and brush, hot sauce into his breakfast, and put ink on the inside of his glasses, no biggie." I said moving away from Ash. He moved closer, though.
"Then what counts as a major prank!" He said getting even closer if that was possible.
"That's for me to know and for you to never find out." I said giving him a good shove.
"Fine, but I'm finding out no matter how much you push me away!" He said dramatically.
"Don't go all dramatic on me. It's just pranks we're talking about." I said enjoying my newly acquired personal space.
"Fine, just wait until lunch! The questions will begin!" He said loudly.
"Me. Ketchum, please be quiet or else." She said sternly. Ash flushed and sat down.
Lunch was how it usually was except for one little detail. ASH! That boy is just too curious for his own good. My friends weren't exactly thrilled to have him here annoying us, either. They did smirk for a while, though.
"Annoy me one more time and you will meet my hardest and deadliest mallet." I said poking my fork into my salad angrily.
"Fine, but can't you pull some of your major pranks! Like, here at school!" He said eagerly.
"Fine, but if it's someone you don't want to be pranked too bad." I said giving him a good whack, anyway.
"Woohoo, wait who are you pranking?" He asked suddenly afraid.
"You'll find out." I said evilly.
"Okay?" He said chuckling nervously.
"Well, since you're done bothering me can you leave me alone or let me eat in peace.
"Okay." He said sitting down next to me. I looked at him and pushed him away.
"I meant not getting into my personal space." I sighed. My friends giggled at Ash.
"So, why are you so happy, Dawn?" I asked.
"Well, today I'm meeting Paul at the park!" She squealed. Some people gave us strange looks, others didn't care.
"Really, lonesome boy asked you out?" I said giving her a 'really?' look.
"Yeah, she told me about it." Leaf said taking a bite of her sandwich.
"Really, how come Misty, Marina, and I never found out?" May said butting in.
"I guess I was so excited I forgot?" Dawn giggled nervously.
"Then how'd you remember to call Leaf?" Marina frowned.
"Well, you guys know me. I forget a lot of things." Dawn replied.
"Whatever, as long as we know now, so what's up with you and Ash?" Marina gave me a knowing look.
"He just wants to know what my 'major pranks' are." I said quoting my fingers on 'major' and 'pranks.'
"Oh, well then, let's go. I'm bored." May said dumping her crumbs-May, likes to finish her food, okay?-away.
"Okay." We replied simultaneously. We got up and left to go outside. I gasped when I saw my ex-boyfriend there.
"Jake?" My eyes started filling with tears.
I don't think I succeeded. Oh, well. Review even though it's Sunday, which I apologize for. Maybe I'll try some other time to make the longest chapter I ever wrote. Now go click that button and REVIEW!
