Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon or anything related.
[This chapter is longer than it needs to be (or was intended to be: FOR REAL), so sorry for the wait and sorry for the really long chapter!] And the title sucks; I have no idea what I'm thinking...
Should I have included something happening over the weekend? IDK! IDK! Is this story gonna be too short for your guys' liking? IDK! IDK! TELL ME! I MUST KNOW!
Also, I just realized I've been spelling Poke Ball wrong this whole time! Blah!
Er-hem…
The new week began with Green, Soul, Crystal, Yellow and Lady riding their Pokémon to school. Yellow was on Dody, Lady and Green shared Rapidash, and Crystal and Soul rode Archy.
Green stretched and yawned. "Hmm…well, another week begins." She said. The other girls nodded.
Soul yawned. "It feels like the weekend comes and goes so quickly." She said. The other girls chuckled.
"I know." Crystal said. "Thankfully school doesn't start too early so we can get enough sleep!" she said, playfully pushing Soul, who'd stayed up late extra late with some of the others to watch movies.
Soul sleepily nodded. "Yeah…I suppose." She said. "But couldn't we have just a teensy bit more time to sleep?" she said, chuckling. "What do you think Yellow?"
The girls turned to see Dody sweat dropping due to the sleeping Yellow on his back.
"YELLOW!" the girls yelled. Yellow instantly snapped out of her sleep.
"Uhn! Huh…" she mumbled. "Oh…hehe….sorry." she said, rubbing her eyes.
"I'll take that as a yes." Soul giggled. Green turned to face everyone else, since Rapidash was in front of Archy and Dody.
"Soooo…how are everyone's plans for the dance going?" she asked.
"GWAH?" the others gasped.
"Why did I know that was coming?" Crystal muttered. Soul giggled.
"Hmm? Anyone?" Green asked, crossing her arms. Soul poked Crystal.
"Well, go on…" she teased. Crystal pushed her hand away.
"Alright, alright, geez!" she said. Green smirked.
"Crystal? Has Gold asked you?" she asked, excitedly. Crystal sighed.
"Well, if you didn't already know…yes…he has." Crystal said, looking away.
"Hmph! Of course I knew!" Green thought. "I was there, sheesh! Though Green knew fully well that Crystal didn't see her that day, she'd only pretended to not have seen Gold ask her to the dance for Platinum and Yellow's sake.
"Wa ha ha!" Green laughed. "Just as I thought!"
"Tch! You helped him didn't you?" Crystal thought. "Yeah, so I guess I'll be going with him after all." She said, smiling sheepishly.
"That's awesome!" Yellow said. "Were you excited when he asked you?"
"She sure was!" Soul said, laughing, only to have Crystal cover up her mouth in annoyance.
"Ok, ok! Enough about me, already!" Crystal complained.
"Tsundere…" Soul muttered, frowning.
"Hmmm…." Green tapped her chin. "What about you, Lady?" Lady flinched slightly.
"Er…well…I…have not yet decided…" she said, somewhat nervously. "I've been thinking…maybe Pearl these last few days." She mumbled the last part, among other things, so the other girls didn't really make out what she said.
"Ehh…" Green said, sweat dropping. "Well, you still got a few days, so don't rush it." Green said, grinning.
Green started to try to give Lady advice. While she was doing that, Soul whispered to Yellow.
"Say, Yellow…you have any idea about who Green wants to go to the dance with?" she asked.
Yellow shrugged. "Well…not really. She doesn't really talk about herself when mentioning it." She sweat dropped.
"Maybe she'll go with Blue, she was flirting with him the last time he came to the base…though, I don't know if he'll go…" Yellow thought. "…maybe…Red is a possibility…or even Silver…? But…that can't be right…?"
Yellow shook her head. "Sorry I'm not of much help, Soul." She chuckled.
"That's ok." Soul grinned.
"What about you? Do you know if Silver's going?" Yellow asked.
"Hehe…well I actually suggested that he go to the dance…but he didn't answer right away." She said. "But I'm hoping he'll agree to go."
Yellow nodded. "So do I…for his sake." She said.
"He's had a rough childhood. It'll be good for him to enjoy himself." Crystal added. Yellow and Soul nodded in agreement.
"What about you, Yellow?" Soul asked. Yellow blushed.
"Yeah, do you still wanna go with Red?" Crystal asked, grinning.
"I…well, haven't talked to him about it yet." She said, sheepishly. Before anyone could say anything else, Green announced:
"Hey guys, look, we're getting closer to the building! Let's race!" she said. "And the loser gets a penalty!" she snickered.
The other girls sweat dropped. "Huh? A race?" Yellow asked.
"It sounds fun!" Lady said. Soul nodded.
Crystal shook her head. "No way!" Green whined.
"Whaaat? C'mon…" she said, pouting.
"I'll race, but no penalties!" she said, in her scolding tone. "You're not pulling another fast one after that slumber party!" Crystal said, crossing her arms.
"Aww, you're still thinking about that?" Green chuckled nervously. "But I never told." Green said.
"I'm not taking my chances!" Crystal said. Green poked out her lips.
"Fine." She pouted. "Ready…" she said. Dody, Archy, and Rapidash too their stances.
"GO!" Green shouted, and the three Pokémon sped off towards the school.
*Homeroom*
Most of the class had arrived to homeroom and were chatting amongst themselves.
Green got up from her seat and sat down in Blue's, who hadn't arrived to class yet. Red took notice.
"Uh…hey Green. What are you doing over here?" he asked.
"Where's Blue? Have you seen him today?" she asked. Red shook his head.
"No I haven't. Why?" he asked. Green smirked.
"Ohohoho! Jealous, are we?" she laughed. Red blushed lightly.
"Huh?" he gasped. Green laughed and held her hand up.
"I just needed to borrow a book from him." She said. "Speaking of which…" Green said and leaned back in her chair to see Yellow.
"…Yellow, I need to return your book to you." She said. Red crossed his arms and smirked.
"Well if you can't even remember to return Yellow's book, no way Blue'll share his." Red said.
Green stood up and tossed her hair. "Whatever Red!" she said and walked over to Yellow. "C'mon Yellow." She said.
"Ok." Yellow said, and stood. "Be right back, Red." She said. Red nodded. Yellow followed Green out of the room.
"So, have you asked him to the dance, yet?" Green asked, smirking.
"Uh…no…" Yellow replied. Green stopped and turned to Yellow.
"WHAT? Still not yet? Yellow, the dance is this Friday!" Green said. Yellow played with her ponytail.
"I know…but…well…" she mumbled. Green sighed and continued walking.
"Well, no matter. This is a minor setback." She mumbled. "Don't worry, Yellow, I'll think of something." She said, winking, then thought. "I should make you go ask him. You did lose the race this morning."
Green opened her locked and began digging inside of it. Yellow approached and looked around.
"So, um, what's the reason we're out here?" Yellow asked. Yellow knew that the true reason for Green leaving the class had nothing to do with needing to return a textbook.
Green smirked. "We're gonna look for Blue." She said. Yellow looked shocked.
"Huh?" she said.
"Blue's always on time! He's gotta be around here somewhere." She said, pulling Yellow's hat out of her locker.
"Why do you need Blue, anyway?" Yellow asked. "It sounds important." Green smirked.
"Do ya really wanna know?" she asked. Yellow sweat dropped and cringed a bit.
"Actually…just the tone of your voice right now…makes me not wanna know…"
"Ohohoho!" Green laughed and grabbed Yellow's hand. "C'mon, let's go." she said and dragged Yellow to the boy's restroom.
"What are we doing here?" Yellow asked, as Green put Yellow's straw hat on her head.
"You're gonna go in there and see if Blue's in there." Green said. Yellow flushed and her eyes widened.
"WHAT? WHY?" she exclaimed. "Sh-shouldn't we just wait 'till-"
"Go on now!" Green grinned, pushing her in the bathroom.
Yellow shivered nervously with her eyes shut as she stood in the boy's restroom.
"I hope no one's in here! I hope there's no one here!" she thought worriedly.
"Oh hey, Yellow!" a voice said.
"EEEKK!" she shrieked and her eyes automatically shot open. It was a Youngster with a blue cap.
"Oh…oh, it's just you." Yellow said, breathing a sigh of relief. "Hey there, Joey."
In the back of Yellow's mind, she was wondering why Joey was acting so casual.
"Hmm? Doesn't he know…" she thought, touching her hat.
"Mornin' Yellow. What's up?" Joey grinned. Joey's Ratatta ran over to Yellow and rubbed up against her legs.
"Hi there, Rattata." Yellow said, crouching down and petting the Pokémon. "How are you?" The Rattata squeaked happily.
"The next time we battle your Ratty, we won't lose! My Rattata's in the top percentage of Rattata, y'know?" Joey said smugly.
"Battle?" Yellow thought, then her eyes widened. "That's it!"
It suddenly occurred to Yellow that whenever she saw Joey, she was in Crasher Wake's battling class: a class that she always wore her hat in.
"So that's why he's acting normal." Yellow thought. "He thinks I'm a boy…" Yellow stood up.
"Well, I'm sure Ratty will look forward to battling you, too." Yellow said, sheepishly. "Say Joey, have you seen Blue around?" she asked quickly, trying to get out of the boy's room as quickly as possible.
Joey shook his head. "No I haven't."
"Oh. Well, thanks anyway! See ya!" Yellow said, and rushed out of the bathroom. Yellow breathed a sigh of relief.
Green was sitting on a bench on the hallway. Upon seeing Yellow, she stood up.
"What took so long? Was he in there?" Green asked. Yellow shook her head.
"Hmph! Shoot!" Green said, snapping her finger. She then shrugged and folded her arms behind her head.
"Well, whatever, I guess I'll just find him later." She said. Yellow fell to the floor.
"B-b-but! If you could have waited-" Yellow started, but was cut off when the homeroom bell sounded.
"Come on! We gotta get back to class before we're laaaate!" Green sang, pulling Yellow along with her.
*First Period*
Lady walked into her first period class and walked over to a long table near the back of the class.
"Hey Lady!" Diamond and Pearl both greeted her. Lady smiled at them.
"Good morning, gentlemen." She said. "How was your weekend?"
"It was great!" Pearl said, putting an arm around Diamond. "Dia and I got to preform our comedy routine in Sandgem Town and we even made some money!" Pearl said. Diamond nodded.
Lady grinned and clapped. "That is excellent! I am happy to hear that you are doing well with your routines." Pearl nodded.
Suddenly, the door was flung open. The class's three teachers entered the room.
"It's cooking tiiiiime!" The teacher sang, spinning into the classroom. "Isn't this one of your favorite times, Cress?"
"It is indeed, Cilan." Cress replied.
"Mornin' class!" the final teacher said. "Everyone ready to start today?"
"Yes, Mr. Chili!" the class responded.
"Good. Because today is…" Cilan began, and his brothers joined him in finishing with, "…a test!"
"A test?" Diamond whined, eating some berries that were on a plate in front of him, earning him a punch in the back of the head by Pearl.
"Hey Dia! No! Diamond! Quit eating!" he whispered. Cress laughed.
"Don't worry, it's quite all right. We have plenty of berries for class." He said. Diamond grinned nervously. Lady giggled.
"Class, we'll be passing around a sheet of paper that explains what you need to cook." Cress explained. "Cook it correctly and you will pass. Fail and you'll…"
"Have to battle the three of us!" Chili said, opening his Pansear's Poke Ball. Cress and Cilan proceeded to open their elemental monkey's Poke Balls. Pansear, Panpour, and Pansage jumped on the desk and gave happy cries at being let out for a while.
"So if you wish to avoid this fate, make sure your dish impresses…your judges." Cress explained, pointing to the three elemental monkeys. Handing out the last paper, he asked. "Understand?"
"Yes, sir." The class responded. The three brothers smiled.
"Okay then." Cilan said.
"Begin!" Chili added, and the students began setting up for their meals.
"Hmm, it seems I have to make Dry Poffins for my test." Lady said, reading her paper. "Ok then. First, I will have to gather berries that will make the best Dry Poffins." Lady said, and got up to retrieve some berries from a table in the front of the class.
Pearl was reading his paper. "So I gotta make Yellow Pokeblocks, huh?" he said. "GAAAHHH! I have to make something native to the Hoenn region?" he yelled.
"I have to make Sweet Poffins." Diamond said, reading his own paper. Pearl sweat dropped.
"Oh man! He gets to make Poffins, which he's a pro at!" he complained. Diamond turned around to see Pearl shivering nervously.
"Hey, Pearl, do you need any help with yours?" he asked. Pearl cringed and sweat dropped nervously. He didn't want to admit it and have to ask for help.
"Huh? Oh no! I'm fine, just fine. Don't worry about me!" he said, quickly. Diamond nodded.
Lady was walking back to her desk with a bowl full of Pamtre berries.
"Hey Lady, whaddya have to make for your test?" Pearl asked.
"I have to make Dry Poffins." She said. Pearl flinched and shivered.
"WHAT? Lady too?" Pearl thought to himself.
"Is something the matter?" Lady asked.
"No no! It's nothing!" Pearl said. Lady sweat dropped and walked over to Diamond, who was already mixing berries for his Poffin.
"Wow, he's already gotten this far?" Lady thought. "Well, it isn't too much of a surprise. Diamond is the best maker of Poffins that I know." She giggled and walked back to her desk.
"Ok, I must first drop the berries into the pot." Lady said. "Then I must stir…" Lady said and began to stir slowly.
"Hmm…is this too slow?" Lady wondered while she was stirring, as she noticed it was becoming harder to stir. "Maybe I should stir faster?"
"Finished!" Diamond cheered.
"Huh? He's already done?" Pearl exclaimed. Chili, Cilan, and Cress looked in their direction.
"Well, well. Someone seems to be particularly skilled." Cilan said. "It's grading tiiime!" he sang.
"Come. Bring your meal up here." Cress said. Diamond walked to the front of the class with his bowl of Poffins. Cilan picked up a Poffin.
"Hmm…the smoothness of the Poffin is excellent." Cilan observed.
"Could it be that you used Custap berries to make this?" Chili asked. Diamond grinned and nodded.
"My word! When cooked at 100%, this could very well produce a level 39 sweet Poffin, with just a hint of bitterness." Cress said. "That's the best you can get!"
"Well, the only way to find out how good these are is…" Chili began and turned to the Pokémon on the desk. "…to have our Pokémon decide."
Diamond handed each elemental monkey a Poffin. They sniffed and took bites. After chewing for a while, their eyes started to gleam.
Suddenly, they started eating straight from the bowl.
"It looks like they like them!" Diamond said. Chili, Cress, and Cilan nodded.
"Indeed." Cilan said.
"The sheen of my Pansear's coat looks great!" Chili exclaimed.
"Ultimately, it's very clear here that you deserve…" Cress began.
"An A+" the three said together. The class was filled with "oohs" and "aahs" and some clapping.
"Amazing!" some of the students said.
"He must be really skilled!" others said. Pearl smirked and crossed his arms.
"Hehehe! Well of course! That's my Diamond for ya!" he said.
Lady giggled and clapped. "Wow, an A+! Diamond's skills for making Poffins haven't faltered!"
Diamond happily walked back to his seat and high-fived Pearl.
"Nice job, Dia!" Pearl said, and gave him a thumbs up.
"Thanks Pearl." Diamond said. "How's your food coming?" he asked. Pearl sweat dropped.
"Uh…I'm still looking for the right berries…hehe." He said, awkwardly. "I'm gonna go to the front table." He said, and got up to do so.
Diamond nodded. Though soon after, he smelled something burning. He turned to see that it was Lady's poffins. Lady was frantically looking through the pages of a book. Diamond went over to her.
"Lady, what's going on?" he asked.
"Oh, Diamond, it's terrible." She said. "At first I thought that I was stirring too slowly, so I stirred faster. Then it started to spill so I stopped, but then it started to burn! So I decided to check to see if I was doing this correctly with this manual from my chef and…"
There was sizzling sound coming from the pot. "My Poffins burned." Lady said, hanging her head.
Diamond dumped out the burnt Poffins and got his own pot.
"Don't worry, Lady. I'll help you." Diamond said, smiling. Lady picked her head up.
"You will?" she asked. Diamond nodded.
"Of course." He said. "So what was your assignment?" Lady showed him her paper.
"I was requested to make Dry Poffins." She said. Diamond took the paper from her and nodded.
"Ok, so we need berries that increase the dryness of a Poffin." He said. Lady nodded.
"Yes. I was using Pamtre berries." She said. "I believe these are the best ones to use in making Dry Poffins." Diamond scratched his chin.
"I see…wait here a sec!" he said. Lady nodded and watched Diamond go to the front of the class and ask Chili a question. He then left the room.
"Hmm?" Lady said to herself. She then noticed Pearl pressing multiple buttons on his Berry Blender.
"Ok…here…wait, I missed one! Gah! Ok…SLOW DOWN! AAARARARHH!" Pearl raged.
"Pearl, is everything all right?" Lady asked.
"IT'S FINE! IT'S TOTALLY FINE!" Pearl yelled back. Lady sweat dropped. Diamond then returned to class with a paper bag.
"Ok." He said.
"What is that?" Lady asked. Diamond opened the paper bag.
"These are Micle berries." He said. "These are even better than Pamtre berries." Lady stared at the berry.
"Really?" she asked. Diamond grinned and nodded. Lady clapped.
"How wonderful!" Lady cheered as Diamond began putting berries in the pot. "Where did you get them?"
"Hehe…from my locker." Diamond laughed, sheepishly. Lady looked shocked.
"Hmm, these are yours?" she asked. Diamond nodded.
"It's all right, Lady. I know where I can get more." He said.
"Are you sure?" Lady asked, feeling somewhat bad, though when she saw Diamond smile and nod, she felt a little better.
"Thank you, Diamond." Lady said. Diamond blushed.
"It's no problem." He said. "So first, you need to stir your berries in the dough. Slow enough not to spill, but not too slow, or it'll burn." He explained, demonstrating how to stir. Lady nodded.
"Slowly, but not too slowly." Lady said, holding the top of the spoon. "For how long?"
"Until the fire changes color." Diamond said. The Poffin dough began to get darker in color.
"Ok, now let's stir the other direction." Lady smiled and turned the spoon with Diamond. The fire then became a blue color.
"Diamond, the fire's changed." Lady said, and started to stir faster. "It won't spill anymore, right?
"You're doing it right." Diamond said. "Look, they're done."
Lady clapped. "Really?" she asked. Diamond nodded.
"Yep. Now we just wait for them to cool." He grinned.
Pearl was now in the back of the class pressing buttons on his Berry Mixer. Though, not as frantically as before. He was now with another student, who pressed buttons on the other side of the Berry Mixer.
"Y'see? I told you it was easier to make Pokeblocks in a group!"
"Oh thank you! Thank you so much, Ruby!" Pearl said, crying for joy.
Ruby smirked. "It's no problem! This is no sweat for a berry mixing master like myself!" He said, causing Pearl to sweat drop.
"At this rate, we'll get an A+ for sure!" Ruby said, winking.
"Sweet!" Pearl cheered, and high-fived Ruby.
Lady and Diamond stood at the front of the class as the teachers' Pokémon ate her Poffins.
"Hmmm." The teachers observed as the Pokémon chewed. Yet again, they started to eat straight from the bowl after finishing the first one.
"Amazing!" Cilan said.
"A marvelous job." Cress congratulated.
"Looks like this trainer gets an A+!" Chili said. Lady's eyes widened in joy.
"Really?" she said. "Oh thank you!" she said, and bowed. She then walked back to her table.
"How was it?" Diamond started to ask, upon seeing Lady return.
"I got an A+!" Lady said, happily. "The Pokémon loved them!"
"That's great!" Diamond said.
"I definitely couldn't have done it without your help!" Lady grinned and suddenly hugged Diamond, causing him to blush. "Thank you, Diamond."
"No problem, Lady." Diamond said, nervously. When Lady realized what she was doing, she hastily let go.
"S-Sorry about that." She said, and blushed lightly.
"It's okay." Diamond said, looking away.
"I'm going to go pack my things." Lady said, and walked over to her desk.
"Ok." Diamond said. "Oh, yeah, class is almost over."
Cilan clapped his hands.
"Alright, class. Time's up. Please bring what you have to the front of the room and line up for grading."
Lady thought to herself as she sat holding her bag.
"That was strange…why did I suddenly hug Diamond?" Lady thought. "Well…I was grateful for his help. But even so, I have been grateful before, and never had an urge to hug him…"
Lady looked at Diamond. "Diamond's always very kind and helpful. He even let me use his rare berries."
Suddenly, a new thought occurred to Lady.
"Wait…this is just like before…with Pearl…but now….now I wonder if Diamond is…" Lady thought, but her thoughts were cut off when the bell sounded.
"Come on, Lady." Diamond said. "It's time to switch classes." Lady shook her head.
"Oh! Yes. Here I come." Lady said and walked of the front of the class where the last two students were being graded.
"Superb job, gentlemen." Cress said.
"An A for the both of you. My Pansear loves your Yellow Pokeblocks, Pearl." Chili said.
"And Pansage adores the Green Pokeblocks you made, Ruby!" Cilan said.
"Oh thank you!" Pearl and Ruby said, and hugged each other. "We did it!"
Diamond and Lady approached them with their bags.
"Congratulations gentlemen." Lady said. Diamond handed Ruby and Pearl their bags.
"Thanks." Pearl said. The four exited the room.
"Pearl, now that you've experienced the beauty in make Pokeblocks, we must do this again sometime!" Ruby exclaimed, taking Pearl's hands.
"Huh?" Pearl said, then thought. "This is getting awkward…" he sweat dropped.
"Yes of course! Wasn't it just fun?" he asked, then started to ramble about contests and pull Pearl down the hall.
"Wait, Ruby! Slow down! ARGH!" Pearl complained.
*Lunch*
Red had just gotten his lunch and went to his usual lunch table. Blue was already there.
"Yo Blue." He said upon taking his seat. Blue turned to look at him. "Hmm? It's just you today?" Red asked.
"I guess. I haven't seen Yellow or Green in here." Blue shrugged. "Though I can guess where they are." He thought.
"Speaking of which, have you seen Green today?" Red asked. Blue shook his head.
"I haven't have any classes with her yet, today." He said. "And you know I didn't see her in homeroom since I was late because of Granddad holding me up with a phone call. Why?"
"Well she was looking for you earlier." He said "She wanted to borrow a book and-" Red began.
"And you believed that?" Blue asked. Red sweat dropped.
"To be honest, I really didn't." he chuckled.
"If she really wanted me, she could have asked me at my locker before lunch. Even if it had to do with her stupid little "club"; she definitely wouldn't wait this long." Blue thought.
Suddenly, Blue sighed and stood up.
"I don't feel like dealing with that woman." Blue said. "And I don't want to be here when she shows up."
Red laughed. "Wow! The mighty Blue running away from a girl? What's this all about?"
"As if!" Blue snapped. "I just don't feel like listening to that noisy woman with what she wants!"
"You seem like you already know what she wants." Red said, with a raised eyebrow.
"Let's just say…I'd prefer not to be involved with whatever she wants." Blue said, sweat dropping slightly. "See ya." Blue said, and walked out of the cafeteria.
Red sweat dropped. "Heh, looks like it's just me today." He opened Vee's Poke Ball. When the cat-like Pokémon appeared at his side, he rubbed its head.
"Hey Vee, wanna spend lunch with me? Yellow, Green, and Blue have other plans." He said. Vee gave a happy cry. Red smiled.
"Cool! But I since I wasn't planning on spending lunch with a Pokémon, how bout we go get you some Pokémon food?" Red said. Vee made a purring sound.
"I'll take that as a yes." Red laughed and stood up. "I wonder where they keep the Pokémon food around here…"
Red decided the best person to ask such a question was either Lady Platinum, since it was her family who funded the school, meaning she should know where everything was, or Gold, since he normally ate with all of his Pokémon.
"Hmm, well, Gold's right there, so let's ask him first." Red said, upon seeing Gold through the window eating with Crystal, Soul, and Silver and thier Pokemon.
While walking towards the group of Johto trainers, he started to think that he should have asked Lady.
Gold was pointing and laughing at Crystal, who was yelling at him. Soul was laughing with Gold and Silver seemed to be trying to help Crystal. Upon getting closer, he noticed that Crystal was covered with food.
"GOLD! YOU IDIOT!" Crystal yelled, pulling food out of her hair.
"Geez, calm down, Super Serious Girl!" he laughed. "You've been saying that for 15 minutes!"
"Calm down?" she exclaimed. The four then saw Red approach them.
"Hey! What's up?" Gold said, raising his hand. Red shook it.
"Uhh…nothing much…everything ok here?" he asked, nervously. Soul giggled. Silver was taking food off of Crystal's uniform.
"Just fine." Gold grinned. "So, what's it that you need, senior?"
"Well, I was wondering if you guys know where they keep the Pokémon food." Red asked.
"Oh, I think there's some IN MY HAIR!" Crystal fumed.
"You can get some in the room where they wash the dishes. There should be someone in there to get it for you." Gold explained.
"Thanks." Red said. "See ya!" he said with a wave and went back inside.
"OUCH!" Gold suddenly exclaimed. Crystal had punched him in the arm and glared at him. "What was that for?"
"What do you think?" Silver asked. Gold just glared at Silver and rubbed his arm.
When back inside the cafeteria, Red and Vee walked into the room where the dishes were normally washed and was shocked to see Yellow, Green, and Sapphire doing the washing.
"Huh?" He said. "Yellow? Green? Sapphire?" The girls turned to Red who was in the doorway.
"Oh, it's Red!" the three girls exclaimed.
"Uh yeah…" he said. "What are you guys doing in here?" he asked.
"We have kitchen duty." Yellow said, sweat dropping.
"Huh? Why do you have kitchen duty?" Red asked.
"Cuz "Pesky Girl" was able to talk the three of us out of actual detention." Sapphire said, pointing to Green.
"No thanks are necessary! Tee-hee!" Green giggled.
"Might've rathered the actual detention…" Sapphire muttered.
"Wait? So you three are in detention?" Red asked. The three nodded. Red looked genuinely confused.
"What's the matter, Red?" Yellow asked. Red scratched the back of his head.
"Well, it's just that…" he started. "I can understand Sapphire having detention…"
"Hey!" Sapphire complained.
"And I can even understand Green getting a detention…" Red continued.
"…Meanie" Green pouted.
"But…how did you get detention, Yellow?" Red asked. Yellow blushed, sheepishly.
"Hehe…I…fell asleep in class." She said, causing Red to fall to the floor.
"Oh, is that all?" he chuckled, rubbing the back of his head. Yellow nodded nervously.
"Well that's not too bad." He said. Vee walked over to Yellow and rubbed against her legs. Yellow bent down to pet him.
"Hey Vee." She grinned.
"Oh! That's why I came in here. Hehe." Red laughed. "Do you know where the Pokémon food is kept?"
Yellow grinned and nodded. "Yeah, come on. There's tons in this back room." She bent down to Vee again. "Let's go see which you like." Vee gave a happy cry and the three went into the back room.
Sapphire grinned. "Aww. They look kinda cute together." Green grinned and nodded.
"They do, don't they?" she said. Sapphire nodded.
"I hope Yellow gets the courage to ask him to the dance. If he doesn't ask her first that is." Sapphire said. "Red's sometimes clueless about things, so I don't know if he'll ask her."
Green nodded. "Tell me about it. What is it with these guys?" she laughed.
"Maybe they just aren't used to that kind of thing." Sapphire chuckled. "But Yellow's sometimes really shy when it comes to Red." Green nodded.
"Yeah, I'm hoping she asks him before it's too late." Green said. "I'm worried…someone else might wanna ask him. I mean, how will Yellow feel?"
"Yeah I know what you…" Sapphire was saying, but suddenly, the words registered in her head. Sapphire pointed at Green.
"It-It's Red! Isn't it?" Sapphire exclaimed.
"Wha-what?" Green stuttered.
"You…you want to go to the dance with Red don't you?" Sapphire said.
"Shut up! Will ya?" Green exclaimed, blushing lightly. "What are you talking about?"
"That's why you wouldn't tell us at the slumber party! You didn't want Yellow to know!" Sapphire said. "Am I right?"
"Guh…" Green said and looked at a clock above the two. "Well, this was fun, Sapphire, but I gotta go!" she said, and ran out of the room.
"HEY!" Sapphire yelled.
Green ran down through the cafeteria and down the hallway. She stopped by some locker. Her hands were on her knees as she tried to catch her breath.
"Huff…that was close…huff huff! I don't know what would've happened…huff… if that conversation went any further!" Green panted. "Sapphire…she's sharper than I thought…" she thought.
Green stood up, took some deep breaths, and straightened her hair. She immediately noticed Blue by his locker.
"BLUE! BLUE!" she yelled and ran towards him. Blue turned his head and saw that it was Green. He sighed.
"What is it? And quit yelling!" he said when she approached him.
"I was looking for you earlier today…huff…" she said, still catching her breath.
"What do you want, Green?" he asked. "And don't say it's to borrow a book because-"
"I wanted to make sure you were going to the dance." She interrupted, and clapped her hands together.
"What?" Blue exclaimed. "Why do you-"
"I didn't know for sure if you were going." Green said, flirtatiously. "Are you?" Blue looked away.
"I wasn't planning on it." He said. "I don't really see a reason to."
"Aww please, Blue! Pleease!" Green whined. "Please go to the dance." Some school kids and lasses started to gather in the hall and stare at the scene. Blue wanted to leave as quickly as possible.
"I said I-" Blue started, but was interrupted by Green latching onto his waist.
"Come on! Please Blue! Go to the dance! Say you'll go! BLUUUEEE!" Green whined. The crowd of curious onlookers was beginning to increase and whisper.
"If I say I'll go, will you let go of me?" Blue said, through gritted teeth.
"Yep! Tee-hee!" Green winked. Blue sighed.
"Fine…I'll go…" he said. Green let go of his waist and hugged him causing him to blush lightly.
"Yay!" she said. "And you better go!" she let go of him. "Bye-byeee!" she said, and ran down the hallway she came from.
Blue straightened his clothes. He glared at the onlookers. This was enough to scare them away.
"Truly obnoxious…" he grumbled.
*Near the End of Lunch*
After they'd finished the dishes, Sapphire and Yellow were eating some of Pilo's fruit while sitting on his back.
"Yum! These are delicious!" Yellow said and patted Pilo's back, who grinned happily.
"The fruit from Pilo's beard are the best!" Sapphire grinned. Suddenly, she heard a voice calling her.
"Sapphire! Sapphire!" She looked to see that it was Diamond.
"Huh? What is it, Dia?" she asked.
"Sapphire," he said, and started to whisper. "Earlier today in cooking class, we had to cook something specific for a test…and Lady needed help cooking. So, I helped her, and she got an A. Then she thanked me and…hugged me." He said, blushing. Sapphire grinned.
"Really Dia?" she said, slapping him on the back. "See, I told ya all ya needed was to be confident!"
He nervously rubbed the back of his head, and his own back, considering how much pain he was in.
"I bet the Lady thinks much highly of ya now!" she said. "I mean, ya helped her get an A! She'll definitely want to go to the dance with ya now!"
"Hehe…" Diamond chuckled nervously. "Oh yeah! Do you think you could get me some more Micle Berries?" he asked. Sapphire made a fist and put it to her chest.
"No problem! I'll have them for ya by tomorrow." She said. Diamond grinned.
"Thanks!" he said. The bell sounded.
"Oh, it's time to get to class." Yellow said, and jumped off of Pilo's back. "Hey, Dia, ever tried fruit from a Tropius?" she grinned handing some to Diamond. Diamond's eyes sparkled.
"Thanks Yellow." He said and started eating the fruit.
"Tee-hee! Come on, Dia, we'll be late!" Yellow laughed, and the two went off to class.
"Guess it's time to return ya to yar Poke Ball." Sapphire said, but before she returned Pilo, she saw Ruby approaching her from the other direction.
"Hey, Sapphire!" he called.
"Huh?" Sapphire said.
"Uh, hey, Sapphire." Ruby said, as he approached them. Sapphire folded her arms and turned away.
"What do you want?" she asked.
"Um…well…about that argument we had the other day." He said, nervously. "I just wanted to apologize." He said. Sapphire looked at him.
"What?" she said. She climbed off of Pilo and returned it to its Poke Ball.
"I shouldn't have insulted you, and I'm sorry." He said, a bit rushed. Sapphire folded her arms again.
"Well...I forgive ya. And…I guess I have to apologize to ya as well." She said. "So sorry about, throwing food at you."
"Hehe...it's okay." he said. "So we're cool?" Ruby asked. Sapphire grinned.
"Yep! We're cool!" she said, and pulled him into a headlock.
"Heh! That's...good." he said. "But...I can't breathe, now...Sapphire..." Ruby said. Sapphire released him.
"Oops! Hehe...sorry." she said. Ruby smoothed himself out.
"Well...um...it's good that we're on good terms agian...since...I...uh...wanted to ask you something..." Ruby said.
"Huh...you did?" Sapphire said. Ruby was looking at the ground.
"Uh...yeah...I wanted to ask you...to, um...go with me...tooo..." Ruby stuttered. Sapphire's eyes widened.
"Huh? You want me to go somewhere with you?" Sapphire said. "I wonder..."
"To...um..." Ruby said. "Come on Ruby!" He thought to himself.
"Yeah..." Sapphire said.
"Um...to a Sinnoh Contest!" he blurted out.
"WHAT?" Sapphire exclaimed.
"No!" Ruby thought. "That's not it!"
"Uh...yeah! A Sinnoh Contest. They call them Super Contests here. And...I wanted you to come with me after school." Ruby said.
"Uh...uh..." Sapphire stuttered. Ruby grabbed her hand and started to run toward the building.
"Great! So it's settled then! We'll go after school!" Ruby said, and proceeded to drag Sapphire into the building and ramble on about Super Contests.
*IMPORTANT* Okay, I just noticed something that I want to make sure everyone understands, which I'm sure you all do because you're all geniuses, but just in case, (take this chapter for example): if a scene starts at like 1st period, and the next scene is lunch, it is not necessarily that lunch is the next class or event of whatever. It's just that I can't do EVERY single class for MULTIPLE reasons. So just letting you know, the day does go in chronological order, but not every class is mentioned. But I'm sure you all knew that, just saying. *PROCEED*
Ending sucks~
Ruby! What is the matter with you? Well, at least he apologized.
What? Green wants to go to the dance with Red? What is this nonsense? There's no way that can be right! What the heck is going on? I have no idea. Did she ask Blue to the dance or just tell him to go?
Lady's still swimming in a sea of uncertainty. I think I made Blue OOC. My bad. And, they're eating Pilo. Those jerks! Why am I commenting on my own story?
I seriously didn't need to include a lot of stuff here, but one thing is that I thought I needed more Red. I mean, he's the star of the book! And he's barely here!
Cameo by Youngster Joey and his BEAST of a Rattata. How Ratty was able to beat this Rattata, I have no clue. Must have had hax or something.
I have no idea how more than one Poffin forms in one pot! But obviously if Dawn can do it, then it must be possible by Anime physics. I mean, Dia can make a single-piece of pie. Does he have like, a "piece-of-pie pan"?
I feel like I'm focusing too much on Frantic! Am I? What do I need more of? I'll put it in the next chapter if it'll make sense (I try not to do one twice in a row to mix it up a little).
So I'll try, though, keep in mind that I essentially have the whole story thought up. But suggestions are welcome and appreciated. Obviously, by the length of this chapter, I make up most of this stuff as I go along.
This is getting WAY TOO LONG! So please review. Review makes me happy. :D
