Well I finally took the time to post this chapter! It's REALLY long! Longer than I thought... But I think you'll enjoy it anyways ;)
I woke up to the funniest thing I'd ever seen.
"The underwear ghosts have come to haunt me!" Ash was running around with a pair of
underwear on his head, tripping every few seconds, then running again. It was FUNNY. Once
Ash finally ran out of the room, Hannah, Iris, and I began to giggle.
"Let's go spy!" Hannah suggested. So we went into the hall and hid around a corner.
The next person we saw was Cress, he looked perplexed, but scared at the same time. He was
already dressed in his normal attire, but he still had a blue mustache, beard, and giant mole!
Ash had run into him and looked at him for a moment before mentioning that "he forgot to
shave" and "you should make sure that mole isn't dangerous!'
Cress looked at Ash strangely and mentioned that "Ash had underwear on his face". That was a
bad choice, because Ash started screaming about underwear ghosts again.
Next was Chilli, he came out of his room, fully dressed, carrying some "wet sheets".
Cress began question this, but Chilli began laughing at Cress's 'facial hair' and'giant mole'
before that could happen.
And finally, there was Cilan. He wasn't dressed yet, instead he was carrying the giant cut out,
and a bunch of my little ponys in shock.
"Goodmorning!" I casually padded up to the boys "Woah what happened to you guys?"
"It was the underwear ghosts!" Ash screeched and ran straight into me.
"Ow" I mumbled as I pulled myself up.
"Woah Cress!" Hannah giggled "I never noticed your giant mole!"
"It just got there! I don't even know how!"
"And Cilan...Why do you have a bunch of My little ponys?" Iris joined in.
"I could've sworn they were on the floor!"
We all just stood there for a few seconds untill we heard a phone ringing.
"That's my phone! The underwear ghosts must be calling me!"
"I'll go answer it!" I ran into the guest room and found Ash's phone on a nightstand. I looked at
the screen, and smirked when I saw who was calling.
"Hello?"
"Oh hi! Is this Ash?"
"Um no I'm his friend, can I take a message?"
"Oh, can you just tell him that I called?"
"Sure!"
"Okay, bye" I hung up the phone and told Ash that it had been Misty not the underwear ghosts.
"Oh man! I gotta call her back!" He exclaimed as he dashed into the guest room.
Cilan then offered us breakfast, and we politely accepted his offer.
About an hour later, Ash finally returned.
"Geez Ash! What took so long?" Iris demanded as he entered the small living room that we were
situated in.
"Why do you even care Iris?" He huffed and plopped down into a big leather chair.
"Geez, I just wanted to know, you don't have to be so rude!"
Cress poked his head in the doorway said something about violence, but no one was really
listening to him.
"Just leave me alone" Ash groaned and turned his head the opposite way.
Iris frowned and turned her attention back to the TV.
I was bored. So I pulled out my phone! Fanfiction time! But then I realized how weird it would
be to read stories about people who were in the same building as me. Instead I put in my
headphones and turned on Pandora.
"Humphel!" I looked up into my sisters eyes, she was clearly annoyed.
"What?" I pulled out one of my headphones and frowned.
"Your so rude!" People have been trying to get your attention for the last half hour!"
"They were?"
"Yes!"
"Oh..." I looked around at the other people in the room "sorry".
"It's ok" Iris gave me a friendly smile "What were you listening to anyway?"
"Oh yuh know, just pop"
"Pop?" Iris looked as if she had no idea what I was talking about.
"You-you don't know-" I quickly pulled my headphones out of my phone and pressed play on
Pandora. Blue by Eifel 65 began blasting through my Droid's speakers, and I sheepishly smiled
as everyone looked at me strangely.
But ten minutes later, no one found it strange. We were all singing and dancing all over the
place. Well except Cress and Cilan, but I wouldn't allow that. I grabbed both of their arms and
forced them to dance.
Once we were all tired of dancing I turned off the music, and Cilan asked me something I hadn't
prepared an answer for.
"Where'd you hear that music from? I've never heard anything quite like it!"
"Oh..." I made eye contact with Hannah, and she made a gesture that said 'You can't tell them
the truth!'
"It's popular in the city were from" Hey I didn't even have to lie!
"Wow where are you from?" Cilan questioned further.
"Umm it's a really small town" I mumbled "It's called Macedonia".
"Never heard of it" Cilan gave a blank stare and there was an awkward silence.
"So Ash, where are you from?"
I turned to look at Ash, but then sighed remembering that he was still in a bad mood.
"What's wrong with him?" Hannah asked sarcastically.
"I bet he and Misty got in a fight!" Iris pipped in reply.
Ash snorted from his chair, and we knew Iris's suggestion was true.
"We gotta figure out what happened!" I mouthed to Hannah and iris, and we queitly exited the
room, only to literally run into Chilli.
"Where are you guys going?"
"We want to figure out why Ash is in such a bad mood" Iris explained.
"That makes sense, but how in the world are you going to figure that out without asking Ash?"
"Well we already have a pretty good guess..."
"You should talk to Cilan about it, he always knows why people are upset" Chilli suggested, and
we headed down stairs to the kitchen.
"Hey Cil-" I stopped my greeting when I noticed the giant swarm of fan girls surrounding Cilan
My Cilan.
I pushed my way through the crowd and grabbed Cilan's arm.
"Yo peeps! Listen up!" I yelled over the commotion.
The room fell mostly silent.
"This guy" I gestured to Cilan "is unavailable! Yup in a relationship, not single! So leave my
boyfriend alone!" All the fan girls looked really mad as they slowly wandered out of the kitchen.
"Thanks for getting them out of here" Cilan smiled warmly "I would've never have thought to say
something like that!" I looked down, attempting to hide my blush. Good thing Cilan could be just
as dense as Ash at times.
"So why did you three come down here?" Cilan had started chopping up something.
"Oh well, we wanted to ask you something"
"Ask away!" Cilan's smile widened.
"We wanted to ask you about Ash" Iris continued.
"Uh huh, what about him?"
"Well we figured, since you are such amazing connoisseur" I began my response "You would
know why he's in such a bad mood".
"Mmm" Cilan mumbled and set down his knife "His taste today has been quite sour"
"well that's great and all, but why is he in a bad mood?" Iris frowned, clearly annoyed by Cilan's
connoisseur speak.
"Well let's look at our clues, he wasn't in a foul mood until after he got off the phone, yes?"
"Well yeah..."
"So most likely, this has something to do with his conversation with Misty!"
"Uh Cilan?"
"Mmm"
"We already knew that! " I shifted my weight and frowned.
"Well then, we have to investigate further!" Cilan smiled widely.
"How?" Iris asked.
"Well...First we need to ask Ash-"
"I have a better idea! Why don't we steal Ash's phone!" Hannah suggested.
"Why would we do that?" Iris questioned in reply.
"'Cuz I know a trick!"
"A trick? That seems a bit unfriendly"
"Psh! Who cares! you'll thank me when were done!" Hannah snickered, and ran out of the
room.
"Do you know what she's talking about?" Iris turned to me.
"I have no clue" I shrugged.
"Well maybe we should find out" Cilan started heading out of the kitchen in the same direction
that Hannah had left.
Iris and I also headed out of the room.
We found Hannah leaning up against the wall with Ash's phone pressed up against her ear. As
soon as she saw us she put a finger up to her mouth and made a ssshh noise. I leaned down
next to my sister to hear what she was listening to.
"I hope I can see you soon" It was Misty's voice, slightly muffled, but still obviously Misty.
"Yeah me too, but I'm pretty busy right now" that was obviously Ash.
"Yeah I know, but can't you take a break? Just for a week?" Misty seemed to be pleading from
the other end of the phone.
"Nope. Sorry Misty, but becoming a Pokemon master takes a lot of hard work."
"Hmmph if that's the way you feel"
"what do you mean?"
"You obviously don't care about me as much as you care about your stupid Pokemon master
dream!"
"What? No!"
"Then why can't you take a week off to see me?"
"I already told you why!"
"Hmmph I gotta go." After that line, the phone made a clicking noise, and it was over.
"How'd you do that?" Iris squeeked.
"It was easy" Hannah waved her hand as if to ignore that comment.
"So that's why Ash is in such a bad mood..." I mumbled partly to myself.
"He sure is bad at talking to girls" Chilli poked his head around the corner and smirked.
"Yeah, really bad" I turned around to see what Cilan's reaction to the phone conversation was.
"Well that conversation had an awfully spicey taste to it" Cilan frowned and stood up from his
kneeling position.
"I think I know how to fix it though" the connoisseur smiled.
"How? It's not like Ash will go visit Misty" Iris pointed out.
"No, but maybe Misty will visit Ash" I looked at Cilan funny and he began to explain "Well we
know that Misty obviously wants to see Ash, right?"
"Well duh" Hannah muttered.
"And we also know that Ash won't take a vacation"
"Duuuhhh"
"So why don't we invite Misty over here?" Cilan concluded his explanation.
"That's a really obvious idea. Why didn't I think of that?" Iris exclaimed.
"I don't know, but how're we gonna be able to invite Misty over without Ash being suspicious?" I
asked Cilan.
"Hmm that's a good question" Cilan paused to dramatically snap his fingers " That's it! We can
invite Ash's other friends as well! We can make it a suprise party!"
"A suprise party? What will the occasion be?" Hannah looked doubtful.
"Ummm" Iris smiled "it could be celebrating the end of summer!"
"I guess that's a good enough reason..."
"So how do we start?"
"We invite everyone!" I proclaimed.
"Ok, who wants to call the peeps?" Hannah spoke up
"I will!" Iris took Ash's phone out of Hannah's hands and ran away in the direction of the guest
room.
"Well then...I guess we just have to wait until Iris comes back" I stated.
"Hey Rachel" my sister wiggled her eyebrows.
"What?" I asked in reply, a bit afraid of what her response would be.
Hannah wiggled her eyebrows a little more before responding "glug glug glug, buddy fruits!"
I burst out laughing, leaving Cilan totally confused, and Hannah laughing as well.
"Buddy Fruits?" Cilan questioned once we had stopped laughing.
"Oh there just these healthy fruity drink thingys that you can get at Walmart" I answered.
"Why is that funny?" Cilan looked from me to Hannah, and gave us a strange look. "And what is
Walmart?"
Oh crap.. How was I suppposed to reply to that? Could I tell Cilan the truth? I looked to my
sister, but she didn't help me at all! Crap.
"Oh well Walmart's a big store in Macedonia" Well it wasn't a lie.
"We'll have to visit Macedonia some time, it sounds like a very interesting town" Cilan smiled as
if he was imagining the town in his mind.
"Um yeah maybe" More like very highly unlikely.
"I should look Macedonia up on my Town Map!" Cilan's face lit up as he pulled out the yellow
and blue device.
"Oh that's not necessary" I mumbled.
"Yes it is!" I watched Cilan fiddle around with the navigation device.
"Hmm how do you spell it? Nothing's coming up!"
I wearily spelled Macedonia to Cilan, and waited for him to realize that it wasn't on the map.
"Still nothing...That's odd, it is in Unova right?"
"No" I meant to mumble, but it came out louder than I expected.
"No? What region then? Sinnoh?"
I looked at Hannah, and she nodded, as if to say "We have no choice, we have to tell the truth".
"Ok, Cilan, we have to tell you something."
"Yes, what is it?"
"Were not from here".
"What do you mean?"
"We're from a different...world"
"If you are trying to tell me that you're aliens, then I have to let you know that I won't believe
you".
"That's not what I mean! I mean we're from a world where pokemon don't exist! Where we're
from, you're a cartoon character! "
"Is this another prank?"
"No I have proof!" I pulled out my phone and looked up Pokemon Black and White. "Watch
this!" I handed my phone to Cilan, and the narrator's voice began playing through the speakers.
Then came the theme song, which Hannah and I sang along to for effect. The episodes title
(Cotonee in Love) Came in Ash's voice, and Cilan stared at the screen in disbelief as his Face
came onto the screen. After a few minutes, Cilan handed me my phone with a blank look on his
face.
I patiently waited for a response. For five minutes.
"Well...That's...AWESOME!"
"WHAT?" I stared at Cilan like he was crazy.
"What else is there about me? Were you a fan of the show? Tell me more!"
So I started explaining. I figured I'd start with the good stuff.
"I'm not a fan of the show. I'm the biggest fan of the show ever-"
"Especially you" Hannah added.
"And I totally support wishfulshipping! And pokeshipping, and ferriswheelshipping, and
rocketshipping, and Neoshipping..."
"Hold on! What's shipping?" Cilan yelped before I could continue.
"Oh...oops. Shipping is the couples I put together. For example rocketshipping is Jessie and
James! I'm a big rocketshipper!"
"Ooh! Do you ship me with anyone?" Cilan's eyes got big and sparkly.
"Umm yeah...heh heh".
"Who?" Cilan seemed to be desperate for an answer.
"Well I support Wishfulshipping...So that means I ship you with Iris..."
"And she ships herself with you..."
"Shut up Hannah!" We started having a cat fight.
"Hey guys I'm back- Cilan what the fudge are they doing?"
"You like him!"
"No I don't!"
"Yes you do!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"Uh I think their fighting about me" Cilan sweat dropped.
"You?"
"Yeah..."
"Well I called all of Ash's friends and told them that the party's Saturday, I hope that's ok."
"Yeah that's perfect!"
"Let's stop this fight, and get ready for dinner. I'm hungry!" Hanah flopped onto her back and
pretended to die.
"If you are hungry, there are snacks in the pantry" Cilan gave an akward smile.
"Is there ice cream?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Uh yes..."
"I'll be back" I smiled and started heading towards the kitchen.
As I headed towards my destination, I began to think. But I wasn't thinking about just anything. I
was thinking about how I could make wishfulshipping cannon.
Of course I still loved Cilan, but I knew he would more likely go out with Iris over me, so I was
going to make it happen, but how? I could talk to Iris about what she thought of Cilan, and
maybe convince her to ask him out, but would that be good enough?
Well it was a good place to start. I would do that later.
I pulled a carton of ice cream out of the freezer and looked around for a bowl and spoon. Geez
the kitchen was huge! Luckily Cress came in just as I was about to open a drawer.
"What are you looking for?"
"Umm a spoon and a bowl" I smiled.
"Here" Cress pulled a spoon and bowl out of a cabinet and handed them to me.
"Thanks" I pulled the lid off of the ice cream carton, and began spooning it into my bowl.
"So how has your stay been so far?" Cress asked as he began preparing some sort of food.
"It's been great! Thanks so much for letting us stay here!"
"Oh I have no problem with it, plus it's Cilan's house as well" Cress smiled, and pulled something
out of the fridge. "Would you like some gogurt?"
"Gogurt? I thought that was some sort of fancy vegetable!" I looked at Cress in disbelief.
"I disguise it so Chilli doesn't eat all of it."
"That makes sense..." I imagined Chilli sneaking into the kitchen at night and raiding the fridge.
"Here, do you want berry blue or red raspberry?"
"Umm berry blue please" Cress handed me a gogurt.
"Well thanks for the gogurt, but I have to go find Hannah, and Cilan. I told them I'd be right
back"
"Ok, if you need anything, make sure to call me."
As I was walking back up the stairs, I opened my gogurt, and looked at the silly question on the
side.
'What
"I think I know how to fix it though" the connoisseur smiled.
"How? It's not like Ash will go visit Misty" Iris pointed out.
"No, but maybe Misty will visit Ash" I looked at Cilan funny and he began to explain "Well we know that Misty obviously wants to see Ash, right?"

"Well thanks for the gogurt, but I have to go find Hannah, and Cilan. I told them I'd be right back"
"Ok, if you need anything, make sure to call me."
As I was walking back up the stairs, I opened my gogurt, and looked at the silly question on the side.
'What Pokemon is this?' A black outline of a Purrloin was on the tube as well, and I figured I'd show it to Hannah.
When I got back I found my sister showing Cilan something on her phone.
I walked up behind him, and looked at what my sister was showing him.
"-and this is Rachel doing the moose-"
"Aaah! Shut that off!" I leaned over Cilan, and snatched the phone out of Hannah's hands.
"Aw man..That one was good!" Hannah whined "Why do you have gogurt?"
"Cress gave it to me! Oh yeah, look at this!" I handed Hannah the gogurt tube, and watched her study the side for a few seconds.
"It's Scissors! I have to show her this!" Hannah pulled Scissor's pokeball out of her pocket "Go Scissors!" The Purrloin came out, and I felt something grip my leg.
I looked down. "Cilan? Oh yeah I forgot!" I kneeled down next to him and smiled.
"It's ok, Scissors is nice!"
Cilan barely acknowledged me.
"Come on look at it!" The purrloin was sitting next to Hannah and looking at the gogurt tube.
Cilan frowned, and crouched into an even small ball.
"Geez come on..." I wrapped my arms around the scared cutie and smiled reassuringly.
Cilan finally seemed to realize that the Purrloin wasn't even moving, and I felt his head move.
"Are you ok now?" I asked removing my arms from him.
"Mmm" Cilan looked at me and vaguely smiled.
"Uumm yeah..." I made an odd face..I'm trying to make wishfulshipping cannon! Not mexcilanshipping cannon! (Although I totally support that too).
"Okay Scissors return!" Hannah called her pokemon back, but Cilan didn't move away from me.
"Uh Cilan? The purrloin's gone!" I scooted over a few inchs, and Cilan followed me.
I looked at Hannah, and she winked (Hannah can wink?)
"You're a very pretty young lady" Cilan smiled widely. Was I dreaming?
"Umm thanks" I felt myself blush.
Cilan began spinning a finger through my hair, and I sat there frozen like a statue.
"Cilan, are you ok?"
"No...I'm perfect" my dream guy sighed and pulled me closer to him.
I looked at my sister once again, but she wasn't there. Crap.
"Uh I better go..do something" I attemped to move, but Cilan didn't allow me to.
"Can't you do it later?"
"Uh I guess..."
"Good."
I was getting really freaked out.
"Okay I know this is a trick so cut it out!" I demanded.
"Trick?" Cilan frowned, and brushed a strand of loose hair out of my face "why would I trick you?"
"Because you don't act like this!" I yelped just as Iris walked in front of us.
Cilan quickly released me and backed away. Iris on the other hand stormed away.
"What the heck was that?" I stood up and frowned at Cilan.
"Hannah-prank-Iris..."
"Crap I gotta find Iris!" I ran down the hallway, and into the guest bedroom.
"Iris! Where are you?" I saw Iris lying flat on her face on our bed.
"It's not what you think! Cilan was trying to prank me!" I desperately tried to persuade Iris to at least say something.
"Sure" I heard her sarcastically mumble into the matress.
"I'm telling the truth!"
Iris mumbled something along the lines of "Why doesn't he tell me then?"
"He doesn't know you like him!"
"Hmmph...Wait I don't like Cilan!" Iris quickly sat up, she had obviously been on the verge of tears.
"Yes you do. It's obvious" I smiled "I don't think that's a bad thing!"
"Hmm" Iris turned away from me.
"Cilan likes you too."
"How would you know?"
"It's obvious! He treats you differently than he treats everyone else!"
Iris seemed to forget that she was mad at me and smiled"Really? You think so?"
"I know so! Let's go talk to him!"
"Ok" Iris smiled and wandered out of the room in front of me.
I followed Iris down the hall, until we ran into Ash, who frowned and stormed past us.
"Hey look there's Cilan and Cress! Wait-" Cilan's face was flat on a table, and Cress was frowning.
"It'll be alright, Cilan" I heard Cress say.
"I gotta go talk to him" Iris declared and approached the connoisseur from behind.
"Cilan?" At the sound of Iris's voice, Cilan threw his head off of the table.
"Huh?" I almost yelped out 'Awwwww', because Cilan's face was bright red, as if he had been crying...awwwwww wishfulshippy.
"I'm over here goofball" Iris giggled as Cilan turned his head around.
This was so sweet-
"Hey guys! I found some chicken!" Hannah ran out of a room, with a giant KFC bucket in her hand.
"Gah! Way to ruin the moment!" I glared at Hannah.
"Oops" Hannah giggled, and I could tell that she didn't care at all that she ruined a really wishfulshippy moment.
"Umm chicken?" Iris frowned, clearly annoyed.
"Yeah! It's a 24 piece bucket! It even came with creamy ranch!"
"Hey has anyone seen a bucket of KFC?" Chilli came into the room and gasped when he saw Hannah with his KFC.
"Oops!" Hannah ran out of the room at the speed of light.
"Hey come back here!" Chilli chased after my sister.
"I'm going to start dinner" Cress awkwardly excused himself out of the room.
Everyone was silent for a few minutes.
"Uh well... I'm going to check on Ash" I started to leave the room, but Iris stopped me.
"Can you put on some music? I'm bored".
"Oh, okay" I turned on Pandora, and the song 'Love Like Woe' by The Ready Set came on.
Iris looked at me suspiciously. I shrugged, and burst into song.
That night, I decided to talk to Ash.
"Hey Ash!"
"...hi".
"Guess what!"
"What?"
"Cress has secret Gogurt!"
"What?"
"He disguises the Gogurt as vegetables so Chilli doesn't steal it!"
"That's kind of strange..."
"Yeah I know!"
"I'm going to bed"
"ok good night".
3 days later it was Saturday. Cilan, Iris, Hannah, and I were waiting for our guests to arrive, and Ash was with Pikachu in the backyard.
We heard a knock on the door and quickly went to answer it.
Turns out it was Misty...In a dress...?
I looked at Iris, and she smiled.
"It's a formal party."
"Hi! I hope I'm at the right place! This is the gym right?"
"Don't worry, this is the gym!" Cilan smiled graciously, and led Misty inside.
"You must be Misty, It's a pleasure to meet you" he continued.
"Oh yeah, I'm Misty! I was supposed to dress formal right?" She asked and looked at my outfit.
"Yes you were! We just aren't dressed yet!" Iris smiled just as we entered the secret room in the back of the gym.
"And by the way, I'm Iris" she added.
"And I'm Cilan, a Pokemon connoisseur, and one of the 3 leaders of this gym."
"Wow I've heard all about you two! But who are you guys?" Misty asked.
"Oh, I'm Rachel, and this is my sister Hannah, we're Ash's friends" I yipped.
"Nice to meet you!"
"We should get dressed, is it okay if you stay here for a few minutes?" Iris asked.
"Yeah of course!"
The 4 of us headed upstairs, and I asked Iris what I was supposed to put on.
"I got some things the other day" Iris handed me a big shopping bag and I peeked inside.
"Oh my gosh! It's so pretty!" I pulled out the hot pink dress. It was a little above knee length and was strapless, it also had a silver ribbon tied around the waist.
"Here Hannah" Hannah pulled out a teal blue dress that highly resembled mine, but with a gold ribbon.
"And Cilan" Iris Handed Cilan a bag as well, but he didn't open it.
"Well I'm gonna go change!" I headed into the bathroom, and pulled the dress over my head. It was so pretty! Then I straightened my hair because it was all flippy at the ends.
By the time I was done, Iris, Cilan, and Hannah were already done getting dressed.
Iris had a light pink dress on, and Cilan Had a white tux, with a green tie on. (He looked amazing btw).
"We better go check on Misty!" Iris reminded us. So we went back downstairs to find not only Misty, but Tracey and May as well!
"Oh you're back!" Misty exclaimed as soon as she saw us.
"Indeed. I see we have two more guests! What might your names be?"
"Oh my name's May" May smiled bashfully.
"And I'm Tracey!" The pokemon watcher declared.
"My nane's Iris!"
"And I'm Cilan, a pokemon connoisseur!"
"My name's Rachel, and this is my sister Hannah!"
I looked over the 3. Misty was wearing a yellow dress, May was wearing a dark green one, and Tracey had a casual black tux on.
"We're still waiting for Brock and Dawn" Cilan thought aloud.
"True...I hope they show up soon..."
Just then we heard a knock on the door, and Brock and Dawn entered the gym.
"Hey Brock!" Misty ran up to her old friend and hugged him.
"Hey Misty!"
"Brock!" May ran up to him, and joined the hug.
I watched Tracey slightly frown as this happened.
"May!" Dawn ran up to the brown haired girl and smiled brightly.
"Well everyone's here!" Cilan announced.
"Yay! Let's surprise Ash!"
We all slowly headed down the hall until we found Ash with his back turned to us.
"1...2...3!"
"SURPRISE!" Everyone yelled together.
"Aaah!" Ash yelped and turned around "Guys?"
"It's been so long Ash!' Dawn spoke up.
"Yeah definintly!" Brock agreed.
"How-why are you guys here?"
"We wanted to surprise you! It's a party!" Iris chimed.
Just then Ash seemed to catch Misty's eye and ran up to her.
"Misty I'm so sorry! Are you still mad?"
"Woah settle down!" Misty threw her hands in the air "if I was mad, why would I be here?"
"To see Brock and Tracey..."
"Dork! I'm not mad okay! I over reacted!"
Ash seemed to lose his horrible mood after 4 days worth of it.
I turned to look at May and Tracey suspiciously. They were acting pretty weird...
May leaned back into chest and smiled. Tracey looked down on May and blushed fiercly.
Could this be cannon replacementshipping?
(MayxTracey for those who don't know).
"Hey why are you guys dressed so fancy?" Ash suddenly asked.
"It's a formal party, duh!" Iris exclaimed "you have to go put this on!" Iris handed a bag to Ash, and he groaned.
"Why can't I stay in my normal clothes?"
"Because! Now go!" Iris shoved Ash a bit, and he quickly stumbled out of the room.
"So Iris, what else is there to this party?" Cilan asked.
"Well there's one important detail that I didn't mention..." Iris smiled.
"Which is?"
"It's a sumber party!" Iris giggled.
"A slumber party?" Hannah spoke up after an extended silence.
"Yeah! It's gonna be great! Speaking of which" Iris turned to look at the rest of our group "let's go get your stuff settled!"
Iris smiled slyly, and everyone began to follow her. We ended up on the gym arena.
"Why are we here?" May asked, and looked around.
"Yeah, isn't this place for pokemon battles?" Tracey added.
"Yes Iris, why are we here?" Brock asked, obviously confused
"This is where were gonna sleep!" Iris announced, and threw a blanket right in the middle of the battlefield.
"Wow! Cool!" Misty exclaimed.
Just then, Ash, Chilli, and Cress entered the arena. Chilli and Cress were wearing white tuxedos that looked almost exactly like Cilan's, and Ash had a black one on.
"So what are we going to do at this party?" Ash asked.
"Were gonna party! But first we are going to eat, at none other then the best restaurant in the whole Unova region!"
"Wow! We get to eat at Big Mac's Chicken?" Hannah exclaimed loudly.
"Umm no" Iris frowned, and got back on topic.
"We're actually going to be eating right here, at the Striaton City restaurant"
"So essentially, Cilan's going to cook us food?" Ash asked stupidly.
"Ash!" Iris yelped.
"What?"
"Just...Be quiet!"
Ash glared, but became silent.
"And after dinner, I have another surprise!" Iris beamed.
I headed over to where Tracey and May were standing, and began to listen to their conversation before they noticed that I was standing in front of them.
"You look so amazing in that dress" Tracey smiled.
"Awww" May blushed"You don't mean that!"
"You're right, I don't!" Tracey smiled wider.
"What?" May frowned.
"You look beautiful in that dress, not just amazing!"
"Trace..." May's eyes sparkled
"Mmmm Junky jank!" I face palmed at the sound of my sisters voice.
"Hannah! What the-?" I noticed that my sister was eating something.
"Huh?" Hannah turned around to face me and I began to laugh.
"What the fudge is on your face?"
"Oh... Spahgetti".
"Wha- Just wipe it off! this is a formal party!"
"I don't like formal partys..." Hannah complained.
"Gah! Just...Oh I know!" I made sure now one was looking, and pulled out my phone.
"Look at this!" On the screen was the music video for the song Titanium by David Guetta. "Go up to Cilan and start lip syncing this!"
Hannah smiled evily and took my phone "Ok!"
I watched Hannah skip up to Cilan, who happened to be talking to Cress, and begin dramatically lip syncing the song. At first, Cilan and Cress looked at eachother strangely, then they looked at me. I shrugged and acted like I had no idea what was going on.
Ash and Misty seemed to notice Hannah's performance as well, and began to laugh.
Chilli, Iris, Tracey, and May heard laughing and began to watch Hannah as well. When the song was finally over, everyone laughed and cheered for my sister.
"Oh..Was everyone watching me?"
"Yeah pretty much..." I sweatdropped.
"Heh heh..." Hannah quickly retreated out of the spotlight.
"Can we eat soon?" Ash whined.
"Of course!" Cilan smiled broadly "Come on Chilli and Cress, let's go set up everything!"
"Ok..." Chilli reluctantly followed Cilan out of the room.
"Dinner will be ready soon" Cress smiled and exited the arena as well.
"Sooo... What do we do now?" I twidled my fingers in boredom.
"Let's play a game!" Ash exclaimed excitabley.
"What kind of gane?" Dawn asked curiously.
"I don't know...How about Twister!"
"Ash! We can't play Twister!" Iris practically screamed.
"Huh? Why not?" Ash frowned, obviously disappointed.
"We're wearing dresses!"
"Oh yeah..." Ash sweatdropped.
"So what can we play?" Dawn wondered aloud.
"How about Truth or Dare!" May recommended.
"Ok that works!" iris smiled in approval.
"Ok let's start!" Everyone sat down on the gym floor in a circle.
"Who wants to go first?" May asked.
"Ooh! Me!" Dawn waved hee arms around like a maniac.
"Umm ok Dawn it is..." May mumbled awkwardly.
"I dare Brock to kiss...ummm..." Dawn contemplated who she was going to dare Brock to kiss.
"Hey! You didn't even ask me truth or dare!" Brock interrupted.
"You would have said dare anyway!"
"How do you know?"
"'Cuz! Now anyways, I dare you to kiss May!"
"Me?" May yelped and hid behind Tracey.
"Yes! Now kiss her Brock!"
"Do I have to?" Brock whined.
"Yes!"
"Hmmmph" Brock slowly crawled over to May and smiled bashfully.
I looked at Tracey to see his reaction, and almost began to giggle when I saw his facial expression. He looked annoyed, angry, and confused all at the same time.
May closed her eyes tight, and waited expectantly for Brock to kiss her.
"No that doesn't count!" Dawn screeched just after Brock had pecked her on the forhead.
"Why not? You didn't say where I had to kiss her" Brock stated.
"B-but-"
"Oh be quiet Dawn! It's my turn!" Misty (who was sitting right next to Dawn) exclaimed.
Dawn pouted, but didn't argue with Misty.
"Ok. Trace, truth or dare?" Misty smiled slyly.
"Umm truth" Tracey answered hesitantly.
"Ok" Misty began "Do you like May?"
"What?" Tracey's face grew crimson.
"Come on, answer the question!"
"Well duh he likes May! They're like best friends!" Ash answered.
"Not that kind of like! What a kid!" Iris replied.
"Anyways, answer the question Tracey!" Misty pleaded.
"Well I-Uh..." Tracey frantically tried to avoid the question.
"Hurry up! Other people want to have a turn!" Ash grumbled.
"Yes ok!" Tracey burst out, and hid his head in his hands.
Everyone was silent for a moment, until Misty giggled and shouted "I knew it!"
May's reaction was to blush, and wrap Tracey in a giant hug.
"Ewww!" Ash squealed.
"Ash! You're such a kid!" Iris slapped Ash across the face.
"Owww! What was that for?"
"For being such a little kid!"
"Umm ok..." Misty looked at Iris awkwardly "I think it's your turn".
"Yay!" Iris quickly crawled away from Ash. "Ash, truth or dare?"
"Dare! Dares are more fun!"
"Ok, Ash I dare you to kiss Misty...On the lips!"
"Ash! No way! That's gross!" Ash screwed up his face, stood up, and began to run away.
"No way! You are doing the dare!" Iris grabbed the back of Ash's shirt to stop hm from leaving.
"What? No way!" Ash protested.
"A dare's a dare. You have to kiss her!"
"B-but that's gross!"
"Why are you such a kid?" Iris sighed loudly "Just get it over with already!"
"Oh fine! But only because I'm not a little kid!" Ash slowly walked over to where Misty was sitting and kneeled down.
"Umm well I-" Ash stuttered meaninglessly.
"Oh just shut up!" Misty grabbed Ash's head, and pulled him into a kiss.
"Hey guys!" Cilan walked in to the arena "You can start heading down to the dining room- huh?"
Misty broke the the kiss and smiled satisfied.
"Woah" Ash stared with his jaw dropped at Misty.
"My turn!" May giggled "Cilan, truth or dare?"
"Huh? I'm not playing-"
"Yes you are" Hannah glared at Cilan viciously.
"Well in that case...Truth" Cilan reluctantly replied.
"Okay, do you like anyone?"
"Huh?" Cilan blushed scarlet "W-why would you ask such a silly question?"
"So that's a yes?"
"I never said yes!"
"Well the blushing and the mumbling made it kind of obvious" May rolled her eyes "so who is it?"
"That wasn't part of the truth!"
"So what? Just answer the question!" May retorted.
"But-"
"This is so boring!" Ash cried "what are you guys even talking about?"
"Ash! You are so stupid!" Misty screamed and hit Ash in the head with a mallet.
"Ow! What was that for?"
"For being stupid!"
Ash scowled and pouted at the same time.
"Ok Cilan, you are not getting out of this, so you better just answer the question!" May forcefully demanded.
"Ok ok!" Cilan walked over to May and leaned down so he was right next to ear, and cupped his hands around his mouth. A few seconds later, May squealed, and Cilan stood up straight again.
"Awww that's so cute!" May looked up at Cilan with sparkles in her eyes.
"Heh yeah well..." Cilan rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly.
"You should tell her! That would be even cuter!"
"You know I should really get back to the kitchen..." Cilan muttered.
"Yeah! Go finish dinner Cilan! I'm starving!" Ash smiled enthusiasticly.
"Ash if you don't shut up right now" May gritted her teeth and made a fist.
"Hey!" Iris yelped suddenly.
"What?" I asked suspiciously.
"Cilan's gone!" Iris stood up and stormed over to the doorway of the arena.
"How about we go to the dining room" Dawn suggested "He's bound to be there!"
"Good idea Dawn!" Brock exclaimed.
"Woah I forgot you were here!" Hannah said in a really strange voice.
'Umm thanks" Brock sweatdropped.
We all stood up and headed out of the arena. On the way to the dining room, Ash proclaimed that he was going to spill chocolate milk all over his tuxedo.
"What the heck? Why would you do that?" I asked.
"So I'll have an excuse to change into comfier clothes!" Ash seemed to think he was pretty smart.
"You are not purposely spilling milk on your tux!" Iris screamed "that is the stupidist thing I've ever heard!"
Ash pouted.
We entered the dining room and sat down at the giant table. I was sitting in between Hannah and Iris. Across from me were May and Tracey.
"Oooo!" Dawn squealed and sat at the head of the table "I can see everyone from over here!"
"Great" Misty rolled her eyes and sat next to May.
"Where should I sit?" Ash contemplated this very important decision, and eventually Misty dragged him into the chair beside her.
"Cilan! Go get them!" Everyone turned at the sound of Chilli's voice.
"No! I can't!"
"Why not?"
"They'll torture me!"
"Ugh fine I'll do it!" Chilli walked in through a set of doors "oh! You're already here!"
"Yeah! I want food!" said (guess who) Ash.
"Well it's almost ready so just sit back and relax!"
"Yaaaaaaaaaa"
10 minutes later...
"Aaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy"
"Ash!" Misty shouted.
"What?"
"Your food has been in front of you for five minutes!"
"Woah! Really?"
Misty took a huge bite of food "myess!"
"So Cilan..." May waggled her eyebrows at the connoisseur, who was sitting on the other side of Iris.
Cilan looked away and pretended not to notice May.
May cleared her throat loudly.
Cilan began eating more rapidly.
"SO CILAN" May said really loudly.
"Hmm?" Cilan looked up from his plate.
"Boufalant!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.
"Dude!" Hannah screeched "You broke my ears!"
"Yeah!" Iris yelped "why did you just scream boufalant?!"
"Well I just..." I paused dramatically "Needed to let out my emotions!"
"Your emotions involve boufalant?" Misty looked at me strangely.
"Yeah!" I smiled convincingly.
"Interesting..."
"Why?" I turned around to see Brock.
"Huh?"
"Why must my life be like this?"
"Brock, what are you talking about?" Misty seemed concerned.
"This!" Brock jumped on top of the table.
"B-but..." Cilan stuttered.
"That is mahogany!" Chilli yelled furiously.
"Oh my god. Did you really say that?" Hannah's eyes were sparkling.
"Yes I did!" Chilli seethed "get off our table!"
"It's to late now!" Brock cried.
"What the helga is wrong with you?"
"I need to let out my emotions! Your boufalant speech inspired me!"
"W-what?" I looked at Brock like he was crazy.
"I ain't cray cray!" Brock cried "I'm just unique!"
"Yeah really unique" Iris mumbled under her breath.
"Get off our mahogany table!" Chilli was furious.
Brock began to sing. Don't ask me why! But it was awfully bad...The creepiest part was the song of choice...
"It's not always black and whiiiitttee, but your heart always knows whats right!"
"What the..." I looked at Hannah.
She shrugged.
I looked at Cilan, who was the only other person that knew about the pokemon theme song from our world. He was holding his chin in thought.
Brock finally finished his song and collapsed on the table.
"Dude if you don't get off my table, I'm going to call the police!" Chilli attemped to scare Brock.
"Police? That means Officer Jenny will come!" Brock's eyes turned into hearts.
"What?" Chilli looked around to see if he was the only one who thought Brock's actions were strange. Of course only Iris, Cilan, Cress, and Tracey found this strange.
"I'll get him off the table!" Ash proclaimed.
"No! you can't use Pikachu! That table is mahogany!" Chilli frowned.
"Can't you guys do anything yourselves?" Misty huffed "let me do it". Misty leaned over the table and grabbed Brock's arm. "Am I going to have to drag you off this table?"
Brock didn't even acknowledge Misty's presence.
"Ok then I will!" Misty dragged Brock across the table, skillfully avoiding all the plates of food.
"Umm I'm not hungry anymore" I pushed my plate to the side "What are we doing after dinner Iris?"
"Hmmm I guess I can tell you now" Iris put down her apple "we're going to a club!"
"A...club?" I looked at Iris to make sure I heard her right.
"Yeah! It'll be so fun!"
"But aren't clubs for old people?" Ash asked obliviously.
"Not this one!" Iris beamed "It's gonna be so awesome!"
