Okay, so this first part was originally supposed to be at the end of the last chapter, but may chapters are so long, I keep having to cut them up, so...yeah...
The school nurse was sitting in her office reading a magazine. She was taking a break after having to clean her office due to it been made a mess by her last patient.
"I do hope Principal Giovanni will be all right." she said to herself. As she turned the page of her magazine, the door was suddenly kicked down.
"Oh my goodness!" the nurse shouted. She'd back up a bit, but then saw it was just two students, one of which she recognized.
"Sapphire?" she started. "What's wrong, why did you…" Sapphire laid Ruby's body on the examination table.
"Nurse Joy, ya gotta help Ruby!" she exclaimed. Nurse Joy started to examine him.
"What's wrong with him?" she asked. Sapphire pointed.
"It's his head. I accidentally kicked a soccer ball too hard and it hit him smack in the face!" she said. Nurse Joy felt his head.
"Hmm…well, he's not too bad. I'll have to check him out." She said. "In the meantime, it's best you wait outside if you choose to stay. It'll be quicker that way." Sapphire nodded.
She picked up the kicked-down door and placed it back in its proper place. She struggled trying to fit it back to normal since she broke the hinges, but after a few seconds, she gave up and sat down on a bench outside the office.
Unbeknownst to Sapphire, she was being watched. On the other side of the hallway was a plant.
Green peered from behind the plant. "Hmmm, Sapphire seems pretty worried about Ruby." She grinned. "I think I know who we're setting up fiiirst~" she sang. Yellow was right next to her.
"Is this really an appropriate time for that?" she sweat dropped. "Also…are those really necessary?" she asked, pointing, referring to the binoculars Green was holding.
"Hn? Of course they're necessary! Would I have them if they weren't?" she asked.
"Green, shh! Get down!" Yellow said and pointed. Lt. Surge was coming in their direction.
"Eep!" Green squealed as the two ducked. Lt. Surge walked up to Sapphire.
"How's ya friend?" he asked.
"Nurse Joy told me to wait outside while she checks him." She said. Lt. Surge nodded. He grabbed the doorknob and pulled the door out of place.
"What the?" he exclaimed. Sapphire rubbed the back of her head.
"Hehe…about that…" she said, sheepishly.
"Eeeh, tell me later." Lt. Surge said. Sapphire grinned nervously again. Surge went inside and propped the door back up.
Sapphire took it as an opportunity to look through the glass. She saw Lt. Surge talking to Nurse Joy. She looked at Ruby. He had an ice pack on his head, which was propped up on a pillow. She was so fixated on Ruby that she wasn't paying attention to Lt. Surge, who was coming back out. As soon as he pushed the door, Sapphire jumped back to the bench. Lt. Surge propped the door back up and turned to Sapphire.
He took a deep breath. "Well, the boy's gonna be okay, he'll wake up soon. But he's got a nasty knot on his head. Nurse Joy says he'll probably be having some head pains, but he'll be fine. No need to worry." Sapphire breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness." She said. Surge nodded.
"Yeah, Ruby's a tough kid. Probably only sustained all that damage since he didn't see it coming." He said. Sapphire nodded and looked through the glass of the door at him.
"You gonna stay here?" Lt. Surge asked. Sapphire nodded.
"Yeah, you go on back to class, I've got everything here." She said. He nodded to her. He started to leave, but turned back around.
"Oh, by the way…have you seen Green or Yellow around here?" he asked.
"Huh? No I haven't seen either of them." She said, slightly confused. Lt. Surge sweat dropped a bit.
"Oh ok. Well, take care of ya friend." He said, with a slight wave. "Where did those girls get off to?" he wondered.
As he walked off, Green and Yellow regained composure. "Whew!" Green and Yellow breathed out a sigh of relief.
"That was close." Yellow said.
"You're telling me." Green said. She looked a Sapphire through the binoculars again. "Gah, she's saying something. Yellow, your hat!" she said. Yellow tuned her head a bit while Green adjusted something on her hat. They started to hear Sapphire's voice.
"Hmm…I just wish there was something I could do to help. She mumbled. Yellow gasped, shocked at hearing Sapphire's voice, but Green hushed her.
"But how? I don't wanna hurt him anymore. UGH! What kind of help can a wild child give?" she exclaimed. Suddenly, she stopped.
"A wild child…" she said. "That's it!" she exclaimed, standing up. She then ran off, out a nearby door.
Green and Yellow popped up from behind the plant. "Where's she going?" Green wondered.
"Hey Green," Yellow started. "…how come we were able to hear Sapphire? Have you put a tracker on her?" Green grinned.
"It's Clefy." She said.
"Clefy?" Yellow asked, confused as Green handed her the binoculars. Looking through them, she saw a minimized Clefy, Green's Clefable, under the bench Sapphire had been sitting on. He was holding one of Green's microphones and waved to her. Yellow grinned and waved back.
"So that's why we could hear her. You had Clefy shrink down and carry your microphone over there so that Sapphire would not see." Yellow grinned at Green's smart thinking. "And that's why you had the binoculars." Green grinned.
"Yep!" she winked and gave Yellow a thumbs up. Then she turned away.
"Well, the actual reason for the binoculars was to see Sapphire's reactions up close. But…no matter." She thought to herself, her signature 'sneaky' expression on her face.
"But what about Sapphire?" Yellow asked. "Should we follow her?" Green thought for a second.
"Hmm, she shouldn't have gotten far…" she thought out loud. "OK, Yellow, you follow her, and I'll stay here and see if anything happens with Ruby. Yellow nodded. She stood up and went out of the same door that Sapphire ran out of. She looked around to see Sapphire climbing up a nearby tree and grabbing a vine.
Yellow reached for a Pokeball. "Kitty!" she said and released him.
"We need to fly, Kitty." She said. He picked her up and flew behind Sapphire, but at a reasonable distance.
Sapphire was swinging from vines from tree to tree that eventually led her to a little tree house behind the school. Yellow heard her yelling something, but couldn't quite make it out. When Sapphire was high enough in the tree, she swung herself into the tree house. There was a girl in there stirring a pot with a Fraxure to her right.
"Iris! Big trouble!" Sapphire said. The girl turned around.
"Huh? Sapphire? What's wrong?" she asked, tilting her head.
"It's Ruby." Sapphire said. "I've hurt him and I need some medicine for him." Iris's expression changed to a more serious one.
"Have you taken him to Nurse Joy?" she asked. Sapphire nodded.
"She said he'll be fine. But she also said that he may be having head pains for a few days." Sapphire explained.
"So you need a remedy to prevent the head pains?" Iris asked.
"Exactly. And ya're the only one I know who may be able to get me something." Sapphire explained. "So can you?" Iris thought for a second.
"Absolutely!" she exclaimed. "Just follow me! We need to get some berries." They went to the edge of the tree house.
"Ready?" Iris asked. Sapphire gave a thumbs up. The two then each grabbed a vine and swung around picking certain berries. Yellow flew overhead and watched.
"I wonder what they're doing." she said. After about a minute, they swung back into the tree house.
Iris took all the berries and put them in a large pot. She then added several spices and herbs and stirred.
"This will take juuuust a minute." Iris said. Sapphire grinned and sat down to wait.
Meanwhile, Yellow, flew behind a nearby tree. She saw Sapphire and the girl.
"I think Sapphire has come to this girl for help." She said. "Looks like they gathered those berries to make some medicine. Okay, Kitty, take me back to the side of the school." She commanded.
A little bit after Yellow left, Iris stopped stirring. She dipped her finger in the berry mix.
"Taste it, Fraxure." She said. Fraxure did so and gave a string roar. Iris patted its head.
"Okay, Sapphire, it's done." She grinned. Sapphire stood up.
"Really?" she said. Iris nodded, pouring some into a bowl.
"Yes. Give him this and let him take some as soon as you give it to him. Then have him take some every time his head pains come back and he should be fine." Sapphire took the bowl.
"Thanks, Iris! Ya're the best!" she said. Iris smiled confidently.
"Well, I am the one the Berlitzes assigned to help Nurse Joy." She said. Sapphire grinned. She then jumped from the tree and started to run back to Nurse Joy's office.
Yellow had already returned and reported her findings to Green.
"Kyaa! How sweet it that?" she gushed. "She went to get him medicine!" Yellow grinned.
"And how's Ruby?" Yellow asked. He'd woken up since she left.
"He looked a bit dizzy for a while, but he seems okay now." Green said. "Okay, get down!" she said. Yellow climbed behind the plant again.
*Nurse Joy's Office*
"Thanks a lot, Nurse Joy." Ruby said. Nurse Joy had fully checked and bandaged Ruby's injury, and was beginning to clean up.
"It's no problem, Ruby." She said. "But, you really should thank Sapphire. You might've been worse off had she not gotten you here so quickly." Ruby looked at her.
"Sapphire brought me here?" he asked. Nurse Joy nodded.
"Yes she did. She carried you here on her back and was in such a hurry," she giggled a bit, "…that she completely kicked down the door." Ruby looked at the door and noticed it was torn from the hinges.
"She was also waiting for you outside, but I saw her leave a little while ago." Nurse Joy continued.
"Well, Ruby. You're free to go." Nurse Joy said. "And just in time; the bell's about to ring. Now come back to me if your head hurts any later, okay?" Ruby nodded.
"Yes ma'am." He said. He climbed off of the examination table, moved the door out of the way and went outside. He then stood the door back up.
"Ruby!" he heard someone call him. He turned to see Sapphire running toward him.
"Oh, Sapphire." He said, and turned to face her.
"I'm so glad ya're okay." She said. "I'm so sorry I hit ya on the head with that soccer ball." She said, and bowed apologetically. Ruby smiled.
"Well, I would be mad at you, but… Nurse Joy said you did bring me all the way here." He said. "Not to mention that you kicked the door in." he said, sheepishly. Sapphire blushed.
"So, I forgive you." He said. Sapphire smiled.
"Thanks, Ruby." She said, and then thrust the bowl she was holding towards him. Ruby looked shocked.
"It's medicine." She explained. "Take some now, and if you have any pain in your head later, take some then, too." Ruby took the bowl.
"Thanks, Sapphire." He said. "It was really nice of you to get this for me."
There was a moment for silence, which both felt was awkward. They just looked away from each other, red-faced. The bell suddenly sounded. Ruby took it as his oppertunity to end the awkward moment.
"Well…uh…see you tomorrow." Ruby said, speedily walking away. "Thanks again." Sapphire stood there for a second.
Then she smiled to herself. "He's gonna be okay, and he's forgiven me." She breathed a sigh of relief.
Green giggled from the bushes.
"Ooooh! I think we've confirmed match number 1!" Green sang, looking through the binoculars. "No way Sapphire'll be able to deny this at the slumber party tomorrow!" Yellow turned to Green.
"Huh? What do you mean by that?" she asked. Green winked.
"You'll see." She said, with a gleam in her eyes.
"Your face…looks evil!" Yellow shivered, sweat dropping.
"Wha ha ha ha!" Green laughed. "Come on! Let's go find Lady Platinum before she leaves. We've got plans to make." She said, pulling Yellow along with her.
*End of School*
The following day was pretty normal. At this time, most of the students were walking home. However, a few were still inside.
"Okay, Lady." Pearl said. "Let's go through the checklist one more time. Are you sure you have everything you need for this slumber party?" he asked. Since Lady had never given a slumber party, she asked Pearl and Diamond if they had any advice.
"Snacks?" Diamond asked.
Lady nodded. "But of course."
"Entertainment?" Pearl asked.
Lady grinned. "Definitely!"
"Food?" Diamond asked.
Lady giggled. "Plenty"
"Reminded all of your guests?" Pearl asked.
"Check." Lady said.
"Refreshments?" Diamond asked.
"GAAAH! STOP WITH THE FOOD ALREADY!" Pearl yelled. Lady and Diamond covered their ears.
Lady cleared her throat. "Well I think I have everything I need to make this party a success." She said. "Thank you very much for your help, gentlemen. Even in school, I don't know what I'd do without you two." She said. Both Diamond and Pearl blushed lightly.
"Naw, don't worry about it." Pearl said. Diamond nodded.
"Well, I suppose we'd better get going." Lady said, standing.
"Wait a minute, Lady." Pearl said. "We forgot to check something off on your list." The three looked.
"Games." He said. "You should have plenty of those in your mansion, right?"
"Well, I do…but Green told me she was going to handle the games." Lady said. Pearl raised an eyebrow.
"Green, huh?" he said. Lady's Poketch beeped.
"Oops, I have to get going now. Enjoy your evening, gentlemen." Lady said, hurriedly leaving the room.
"Y'know…seeing that Green has to do with the games…I'm a little concerned…"Pearl said, sweat dropping.
*Outside of School*
Green and Red were walking home together. However, Green seemed to be engrossed in something.
"Oh, and I need to have this," Green said, writing something down. "Oh, and then…tee hee!"
"Wha'cha got there?" Red asked. Green looked up and grinned.
"Oh this? This just has my plans on it for the slumber party, tonight." She said.
"And at this slumber party," Red started. "…you'll be up to some of your old tricks, won't you?" he said. Green sweat dropped.
"Hehe, whaddya mean?" she asked. "Why do I always have to be up to something?"
"Well, you did go around yelling and reminding everyone about it even though you just came up with the idea yesterday…seems to me like you have something up your sleeve." Red explained. Green giggled.
"Hmmm, is that what it seems this slumber party is? Well…." She began, then pressed her finger on his nose. "Guess you'll have to wait and see!" she sang and ran ahead of him.
Red was confused. "Huh? Wait and see?" he thought. "What could that mean?" he heard an irritated groan.
"What a noisy woman." Blue said, walking behind him. Red chuckled.
*Lady Platinum's House*
Earlier that evening, the girls had all arrived at Lady's House. They were scatted across her mansion doing all sorts of activities. After about an hour, they all gathered to eat.
"Hooray!" Sapphire cheered, biting a slice of pizza.
"This slumber party is great, Lady." Soul said. Lady ginned and clapped.
"Oh yay! I'm so glad everyone is enjoying it! But Green is really the one who thought all of this up." she said. Sebastian appeared behind her.
"Is everything okay, m'lady?" he asked. She nodded.
"Yes, thank you, Sebastian." she said. Green giggled.
"Sebastian, it's such a perfect name for a butler." she whispered to White. White sweat dropped.
"Is that so?" she chucked.
"Is everyone finished eating?" Sebastian asked. "If so, I'll get this place cleaned up." Lady looked around.
"Yes, everyone is, it seems." she said. "Thank you, Sebastian." she bowed.
"Yes, thank you." everyone else said, and bowed as well. Lady led all of the girls outside of the dining room.
"Ok. We've eaten. What's next, Green?" Lady asked her. Green grinned.
"Yes! It's time for my plan to commence!" she laughed to herself. The she clapped her hands together.
"Ok, ladies! It's game time!" she said. "Lady, could you lead us to your room?" Lady nodded.
"Of course. This way everyone." she said and began to lead the way. When they got there, everyone was amazed when she turned on the lights.
"Well...here we are." she said.
"Woooow!" the girls exclaimed.
"This is your room?" Bianca asked. "It's huge!"
"It must have costed a fortune to decorate it so nicely." Mei added.
"Oh, it wasn't all that expensive. Lady said. "My family owns many of the stores here."
"Why am I not shocked?" Soul said. Sapphire went over to Green.
"So, Green, what's the game we're playing?" she asked. "A competition?" she asked, with a competitive gleam in her eyes. Green waved her finger.
"Sorry, not this time around." she said. "Okay, everyone, time to start the game!" Green announed. Everyone crowded around her.
"Okay, so we're all going to sit on the floor." Green instucted, and everyone did so.
"Next..." she started, and took off her hat. "...I wanna ask you all a question." They all nodded.
"So...do all of you plan to go to the dance next week?" she asked. They all looked at each other and then nodded.
"Hmm, I see. So...do any of you plan on bringing a date?" she asked, in an excited tone. Most of the girls in the room blushed and gasped in embarrasment. They shook their heads, trying to deny it. Green put her hands on her hips, pouting.
"Oh come on! There's gotta be someone you want to go with!" she teased. "So that's why..." she started, then turned around and picked up her hat and bits of paper. "...we're all gonna write down the name of the person we want to go to the dance with and put them in my hat! Then we'll guess who wrote who!" she laughed.
The most others' faces were completley red. "WHAT?" they said in shock.
"And that's how ya play the game." Green said, winking.
Ok! So this is the start of Green's master plan! What a sneak! Does she expect them to play this?
Cameo by Iris! Yeah~ Because I can!~
Originally, this chapter was going to be the whole slumber party, but it would have been too long since the beginning with the suckish Ruby and Sapphire scene was originally going to be in the last chapter but was in this one...because I write too much.
And I'm sorry there wasn't more of a "rising action" to this slumber party, but I really did not feel like putting each and every thing they did before this game and I'm sure no one would have read it anyway, so we are just going to the game, dang it!
So please review, and tell me if I made any errors.
