Now I'm not going to lie to you, this was a hard chapter to write. I hope it's as good as I think it is, if not, I'm sorry. This song is a serious song and I didn't see Satoshi singing this as a solo, I also wanted to give our Fairy Godparents some background and more characters to come in. So there is a lot going on in this chapter.

I'm so happy for all of those who reviewed! Thank you Algrandz, ChloboShoka, Creative Writer 2000, Schoollie, Evie Warner and yamiXyugi-setoXjou-4ever for your wonderful reviews! They really were the thing that encouraged me to finish this chapter this week. I encourage everyone who followed/favoured this fic to review.

Disclaimer: I own earphones I have as I listen to Pandora. Is that cool?

Dedication: This chapter is for Algrandz. Without you, it would have taken longer to finish this chapter.

"Talking…"

"Singing…"

Enjoy!

In My Own Little Corner

Haruka was hiding in the bushes, watching as the two boys entered the house. She smiled but then jumped almost five feet in the air when she felt someone touch her shoulder. She whirled around to see her brother, Masato and their friends Hikari, Dento and Airisu. The four looked like they were about to laugh.

"It's not funny," Haruka said as she glared at them.

Masato smiled innocently, "Yes it was."

"Anyway, we came by to tell you we did what you asked of us," Hikari said with a smile.

The brown haired girl smiled brightly, "Oh? Tell me. Where were you stationed at?"

"Well I was with the seamstresses," Airisu answered.

Dento smirked, "I was with the butchers and the cheese makers."

"I was with the bakers," Hikari answered.

Masato shrugged, "I was micromanaging."

The four older ones sent the boy a look which he ignored. He was always treated like a kid and it annoyed him more often than not.

"Anyway, is this the house we're looking for?" The mint green haired boy asked.

Haruka nodded, "Yes it is. His name is Satoshi but his stepfamily calls him Ash."

"Ash?" The other four asked.

Masato lifted an eyebrow, "How original."

They all found themselves agreeing with the boy. These group of people were different than most and I'm not talking about their optimism. A long time ago, they were chosen by the legendary Pokemon to be given special powers in order to help others in need. Normally it was one person per assignment but this time, Haruka was allowed to have her friends with her. She had found that odd but after talking to Takeshi, she was going to need all the help she could get. Her friends and brother told her that Shu was also here but his assignment was for someone else.

"He told me he was working for the prince," Airisu said.

The brown haired girl sighed, "Wonderful…"

She had a sort of rivalry with the green haired boy in question. Ever since they first became gifted by the legendary Pokemon, the pair had already wanted to immediately go to work which started their conflict. On the other hand, everyone else liked Shu just as much as they liked Haruka. It wasn't that the girl didn't like Shu, she liked him…as long as he wasn't near her.

It was around this time that Airisu asked what they were doing stalking the boy instead of trying to help him out. This made Haruka blush a deep crimson and stammer her reply.

"We were invited to show up after the 'family' leaves for poker night," She said, "of course we have to leave before they get back but…this could give us a chance to get to know Satoshi. I was talking to his friend, Takeshi, at the market place today. He seemed nice."

The other girls and the boys rolled their eyes. Sometimes Masato thought his sister needed to open her eyes and he wasn't talking literally.

Satoshi was physically shaking when Takeshi knocked on the door that leads to the sitting room. It was times like this that he wanted Pikachu to be with him. Unfortunately, it didn't work out. Pikachu didn't like to be around Musashi and Kojiro no longer than five minutes. The ebony haired boy knew this was going to be longer that. By the time the door opened, he thought he was going to have a heart attack.

Sakaki was sitting in an elaborate chair with his Persian by his side as he looked over a fire place. Why he even had the chair was a mystery to everyone in the house, perhaps even Sakaki himself. Somewhere and Undertaker is blaming a notebook. Anyway, the older man was staring at the fire like it was a modern day stripper. Moving on, Musashi and Kojiro weren't even sitting on a chair. They were practicing their dance moves… yeah they weren't so good at it. At least they were trying right?

"What's wrong with Ash?" Kojiro asked.

Musashi shrugged, "I don't see anything wrong. That's how he normally is right?"

"I guess so…" The purple haired guy replied.

Sakaki ignored his kids and looked over at the other two, "What the hell do you want? Before you ask, you're not getting money. By law I don't need to pay you."

"It wasn't about money," Takeshi said as he resisted a face-palm.

The man lifted an eyebrow, "You don't want money? Then what the hell do you want if not money?"

"Satoshi and I want to go to the ball the prince is throwing tomorrow night," The brown haired boy said.

The man began to laugh, followed by his kids and even his Persian. They laughed for a good five minutes, personally, I think they over did it. Suddenly, the laughing stopped.

Sakaki then said, "You can go Takeshi but Ash will have to stay here."

The boys faced each other for a moment not believing what the man said.

"Why do I have to stay here?" Satoshi asked.

Sakaki sighed, "Because I don't think you'll fit in with the crowd. They might be vicious and mean to you and as your father's son, I doubt they would be nice."

"My father was a great man!" Exclaimed the teen.

The man sent him a look, "Your father was an idiot and just because you used that tone of voice with me, you are definitely not going."

"That's just cruel," Takeshi sent him a glare.

He shrugged, "What? Does anyone here think that the prince is going to take one look at Ash and fall in love? Don't make me laugh. Unfortunately, the boy didn't inherit his mother's good looks."

Satoshi didn't want to hear anything else, he almost ran out of the room. His friend stayed behind but only for one more thing.

"Why are you letting me go if you don't want him to do?" Takeshi asked.

Sakaki answered, "Because I know for a fact you like girls. You don't want to go for a chance at the prince. You don't even care less if the royal even finds someone."

He wanted to answer back but he knew it was the truth. Instead of saying anything, he took off.

Shigeru had the look of annoyance written all over his face as he and Eevee walked into the grand ballroom and seeing the decorations around the castle and in the grand ballroom. He sighed as he walked up to his sister who was overseeing the decorations. He noticed his attendants were also there helping out. The brunette found himself smiling at the look of his Godfather arguing with Kasumi while Kenji was trying to calm them down. He turned around to leave but, his sister saw him right before he was able make it out the door.

"Oh, brother!" She called out.

He rolled his eyes, "Yes sister?"

"What do you think about the decorations?" She asked.

He shrugged, "I would prefer them to not be there but since I have no say in the matter, they look fine."

"Shigeru, please, it's for the best and you know it," She said, "You have to find someone to marry."

While the siblings were having that particular conversation, the three attendants were over hearing them. Kenji was currently on ladder and the other two were holding it in place. Finally, Kasumi had enough of them bickering.

"Excuse me, your majesties but if I may…" She said

The siblings answered, "You can't!"

"Please listen," Shu then said, "I believe I have a solution for you."

The King (who appeared out of nowhere) then said, "Go on young man."

"If the Prince goes to the ball…" The green haired boy began.

Shigeru glared, "You traitor!"

"I like the way that sounds," Nanami said.

Shu sighed, "Anyway, if the Prince goes to the ball and finds someone, good for him but if he doesn't…"

The Godfather made a gesture as if telling Shigeru to finish the sentence. The teen understood what the other was talking about and smiled.

"You're a genius," Shigeru said then faced his sister, "I'll go to your ball but if I don't find anyone there, then I'm going to find love my own way and on my own."

The Princess was going to say something but before she could, her grandfather beat her to it. The older man claimed that it sounded fair and that he was going to honor the deal which meant Nanami had to as well. Satisfied, the Prince bowed to his grandfather and sister and took his leave.

Kenji was getting down the stairs, "Don't worry! He's going to find someone tonight, I can feel it in my bones."

"We'll feel it in our bones if he doesn't," Kasumi said as she was glaring at Shu for the umpteenth time.

The boy waved a hand carelessly, "Relax will you two? Leave everything to me. I promise the both of you that at the ball tomorrow night, our Prince will be head over feet for someone."

Kenji and Kasumi looked over at each other as Shu was leaving to go do something else. They sincerely were praying that whatever plan the Roselia owner had was going to work.

Satoshi was in the room he and Takeshi shared with Pikachu at his side. The electric mouse somehow new his best friend wasn't his usual self, and he wanted to cheer him up. A few minutes later, Takeshi and Vulpix entered the room with annoyed looks on their faces.

"Sakaki and the gruesome twosome are finally gone to go play poker," The older teen said.

Satoshi looked up, "Is that so?"

"Yeah. Which is good news since I invited the girl I met over and she said she was going to bring some friends…" Takeshi smiled.

His eyes widened, "YOU DID WHAT NOW?!"

Before the other could answer, there was a knock on coming from the back door. The two boys almost ran out of the room and to the door. When Takeshi opened the door, there stood Haruka and her friend in all their glory.

"Hello there Takeshi," Haruka smiled, "These are my friends. Is this Satoshi?"

The four people in back of her smiled as they looked at Satoshi and nodded their heads. The boy in question was getting ready to hide in his room when his friend put his arm around him.

He nodded, "The one and only. I told you he was easy on the eyes."

"Why did you go saying that?" The ebony haired teen asked.

He shrugged, "It's true. Can you blame me?"

"It is true," Haruka giggled as she and her 'friends' came in.

Hikari looked around, "This is a very nice place you guys have here…"

"Well, technically it's not ours so to speak…" Satoshi began.

Masato nodded, "Takeshi told my sister all about it."

The brown haired boy shrugged and smiled sheepishly at the boy before him. If looks could do things, well, let's just say that Takeshi wouldn't have been a man anymore. Satoshi didn't notice this for reasons previously explained but, Airisu was on his left and Dento was on his right and both were staring at him. Because staring at strangers is completely normal for people to do.

Unfortunately, our main character didn't see it the way the girl and boy did.

"What are you two doing?" He asked.

Airisu replied, "I was wondering why you look so upset?"

"And I was wondering how we can cheer you up!" Dento said with a bright smile on his face.

Pikachu seemed to agree with these two odd humans since he hugged his best friend.

"Pikachu!" The rodent said with enthusiasm.

Instantly, the mouse was the most popular Pokemon in the room among the ladies. The electric type didn't seem to mind too much as he was smiling. Satoshi shook his head, his Pikachu could be famous or something and would love every moment of the attention. Meanwhile, Satoshi still wasn't over his angst moment. He remembered his mother used to tell him that if he was feeling down, singing would make him feel better. Perhaps his mother was right.

"I'm as mild and as meek as a mouse, when I hear a command I obey." The ebony haired boy sang.

His Pikachu made a face to Vulpix that said: 'When the hell was I ever like that?' To which the Vulpix replied: 'True story...'

Takeshi joined in for fun, "But I know of a spot in my house where no one can stand in my way."

Apparently, it was normal for our strange group of people coughthefairygodpeoplecough to see people randomly break into song. So they did what other people did, they joined in. Or at least the girls joined. The two boys we're interested in singing.

"In my own little corner in my own little chair I can be whatever I want to be," Haruka sang.

Hikari wrapped her arm around the brunette, "On the wings of my fancy I can fly anywhere
and the world will open its arms to me."

"I'm a young Egyptian princess or a milkmaid," Airisu smiled brightly.

Haruka giggled, "I'm the greatest prima donna in Milan"

"I'm an heiress who has always had her silk made," Hikari sang, "by her own flock of silkworms in…uh…Kanto."

Takeshi was imagining now, "I'm a guy girls go mad for love's a game I can play with cool and confident kind of air."

Pikachu and Vulpix sent each other a look before laughing which earned them a look from the boy.

"Just as long as I stay in my own little corner," Satoshi was sending a look to his friend, "All alone in my own little chair…I can be whatever I want to be."

Masato got into the singing mood, "I'm a thief in Calcutta."

"I'm a king in Peru," Dento sang.

Airisu wrapped her arms around the boys, "I'm a mermaid dancing upon the sea."

Somehow, that last part didn't seem fit with the girl but whose asking right?

"I'm a huntress on an African safari... it's a dangerous type of sport and yet it's fun. In the night I sally forth to seek my quarry and I find I forgot to bring my gun," Haruka sang, "I am lost in the jungle all alone and unarmed when I meet a lioness in her lair."

Satoshi was getting worried that the brunette might imagine more horrifying things so he decided to do something about it.

He ended the song with, "Then I'm glad to be back in my own little corner, all alone, in my own little chair."

"But you're not really alone are you?" Dento asked.

Satoshi nodded, "I'm not. Suddenly, I feel much better now. I guess it was a good thing Takeshi invited you after all."

"See? This is what friends are for: to help our best friends when they need it," Takeshi said, "So who's hungry?"

Elsewhere or back in the palace, our favorite prince was out on the balcony and sighed to himself. This actually looks very similar to another story written by a bald Englishman but without the tragic ending. Back to our real dialogue, Shigeru had Eevee in his arms when Shu and Roselia randomly appeared out of nowhere.

"You look rather glum. I figured that you would be happy for your victory. So what's wrong?" Shu asked.

Shigeru mindlessly was petting his Pokemon, "Are you sure this plan is going to work? What if my sister doesn't listen and then forces someone on me?"

"Unless you don't find someone at the ball, that may happen," The greenette said.

The royal teen lifted an eyebrow, "You're not even going to sugar coat that for me to make me feel better?"

"If you wanted a 'Fairy'Godmother, you would have gotten one," He replied, "But you were given me, the Godfather. Deal with it."

Shigeru looked at his room, "I feel the love…"

"You should. Now don't worry, everything is going to work out," Shu said, "Trust me and the people helping the other girl…"

The prince made a face, "You keep mentioning things about 'the other girl' who is she?"

"Let's just say, she's on our side here," The other answered.

The prince turned his gaze to the moon. Apart of him was hoping that Ash was also looking at the moon. Little did he know was that the boy he knew by that name was looking at the moon while wondering if there was someone out there looking at it too.

The next day was going to be the ball, either something good or bad might happen but that wasn't important at the moment. The important thing is that moon looked beautiful.

So what did you think? LET ME KNOW!

Hikari = Dawn

Airisu = Iris (That is her Japanese name. I'm not kidding)

Masato = Max

Dento =Cilan

Haruka = May (I forgot to put this one up last time, I think)

Shu = Drew (Same as with Haruka and just in case you didn't figure it out or you thought I had OC's in here. That's not until later.)

Like I said, it was really hard for me to get into this song and I wanted to be unique while still giving the song justice. I hope what I came up with was to your satisfaction.

Another thing, on my profile, I have a poll on what Pokemon fic I should do next. I want everyone who read this to please take some time to answer the poll. I have a lot of ideas but I'm not sure which one I should do first so taking the poll is going to help a lot.

Reviews=Love

The next song is 'Falling In Love With Love' and it will be sung by Sakaki. If you want to read that next week please review!

With Love,
