I forgot to put the disclaimer… I don't own pokemon! Standard disclaimer applies for the rest of the story…
I really appreciate all the reviews! I wasn't expecting to have my inbox filled with stuffies… But thanks again! I'll be updating really fast, since this story is just stuck in my mind!
Another thing, if you have absolutely NO idea who some of the characters are, go to SEREBII (dot) net, enter the site, go under ANIME and find CHARACTER BIOS, you'll have to look a little bit for it, but other than that, it'll have most of the characters.
Enjoy! By the way… look at my profile picture; it's Ikarishipping and Contestshipping…
The sun peeked playfully through the light curtains of the window in Dawn, May and Misty's room. It slowly rose in a straight line, before glowing in all its brilliant glory over everyone and everything. People and pokemon alike began to awake, stretching their bodies and progressing with daily activities. The once quiet roads were filled with cars, and the sound of pokemon calling out to each other could be heard, the once sleeping city now alive with people and pokemon, smells and sounds.
Togepi continued to poke Misty's cheek, smiling cutely as Misty grunted in annoyance, before flipping over onto her stomach. Blinking curiously, Togepi crawled on top of Misty's back before jumping up and down, giving cute little noises as it cheerfully used Misty's back as a trampoline.
Misty squeaked, and quickly sat up, Togepi rolling down onto the mattress. Still laughing cutely, and almost fell off it Misty had not caught Togepi first. She sighed in relief, in quite an odd position as well, hanging halfway off the bed, face practically touching the floor as Togepi clapped its small hands together.
"…Misty…what are you doing?" Dawn asked, staring at Misty from her bunk.
"Um… nothing." Misty sweatdropped, feeling it was better to not say anything at all in this sort of situation.
"Why are you guys up so early?" May groaned, flipping onto her other side to face the wall.
"May, it's 9 o'clock in the morning. It's not exactly early…" Dawn retorted, and Misty laughed at this. May sat up, stretching luxuriously, before yawning.
"We have enough time to grab something to eat before leaving for the ferry." Misty pointed out, and Dawn sighed dreamily.
"It's not a ferry, it's more like a cruise…"
"It'll probably take us four days by boat, but hey, it is quite nice…" Misty agreed.
"Ooh, well then maybe we should go bathing suit shopping first…?" May said coyly.
Misty and Dawn grinned knowingly, before scrambling to get up to see who got the shower first.
"This one's cute!" May squealed, holding up an adorable pastel pink bikini with small, white hearts all over it. The string holding the bottom together had small, white beads hanging off the very end, as well as the strings connecting the top and the back on the bikini top half.
"I like this one…" Dawn grinned, holding a white bikini with green apples designed all over it, it was in a similar form to May's.
"Ooh!" Misty cried out before grabbing a dark, navy blue bathing suit with white anchors all over it, it's design also similar to May's.
"Funny how they look alike…" May mumbled, and Dawn nodded in agreement. Misty sweatdropped.
"Read the tags…they're all by the same company." Misty deadpanned.
"Oh." Dawn and May laughed sheepishly, before the three paid for their bathing suits. The consultant said the familiar 'have a nice day!' as they left the store, it's sliding doors opening, letting cold air out and the hot air hit their faces.
"Hmm…" Misty mumbled, checking her watch. "Shall we grab something to eat and head back to the pokemon center?"
"Alright." Dawn nodded.
"Sure."
They ate their strawberry parfaits slowly, relishing the cool dessert, watching their pokemon play and eat with each other, conversing in a language they sometimes didn't understand.
"I wonder if we'll see Max again…" May murmured, looking at the umbrella that shaded them from the sweltering sun.
"I hope so, and I hope not." Dawn said, shaking her head. "We almost had to go to the extreme to get your father to let you come with us! He was pretty angry when he found out you dumped Brendan. Did you ever tell him why?"
"No." May said, sighing softly.
"Well, in his sense he would have found 'I don't like him anymore,' a bad reason." Misty said, and May nodded to Dawn.
"True."
"Well, let's go, we don't want to miss the boat!" Dawn said cheerfully, completely turning the atmosphere from dull to excited.
"Yeah, or we won't get to try out those new bathing suits!" May teased.
Down the horizon, the girls could see a beautiful, large white ship appear slowly, tiny dots of all colors surrounding it, and the large stairway straight up and into the boat. All were already in their bikinis, regular shirts and shorts on over it.
"I'm so excited!" May squealed, before running ahead, Dawn following her.
"Hey, wait up!" Misty cried, and Togepi clapped its hands happily. They'd climbed up the boat after they boy had checked their ticket, who was still eyeing them perversely, and gasped in awe at the beautiful boat, decked out with beds with mahogany canopies and clear silk hanging from them, comfortable lounging chairs and a large pool centered on the main deck, people dancing to the music and upon entering the lobby, they found it was faux gold on the staircase, with clear glass elevators and several floors of shopping stores.
"I think I'm going to love these four days." Dawn said, grinning from ear to ear.
"Amen." May and Misty nodded, still staring wide-eyed at their surroundings.
"Let's go find our room!" Misty held up their key, and they quickly stepped onto an elevator that led to the room floors.
"Um… floor… 3…" Dawn mumbled, clicking the round button with a black '3' on it, and it lit up and the doors closed, and the normal feeling of excitement was bubbling wildly in their stomachs, and in a sense, threatening to blow up inside of them if it wasn't released anytime soon.
"Room… 37… Oh! Here it is!" May pointed out, a gold plaque with an elaborately designed '37' on it. They slipped in one of the key cards, and saw the red light go green and heard a familiar click, before opening the door to a large, spacious room with 3 comfortable beds, a large closet, bathroom, and vanity area. There was even a small kitchen area for them to store snacks, a mini refrigerator and a separate filtered water spout next to the tap in the sink.
"I love our room…" Dawn said dreamily, throwing her things onto the bed.
"They heard a loud siren above them, slightly muffled from the floors, and they could feel the ship slowly begin to move, before picking up speed. They looked out their glass window, and they could see the water outside, some Dewgong and Seel swimming around by them.
"I like how we have a window, even if it's small. I love watching all the water pokemon swim around!" Misty cooed, staring out the window as a child would to a candy store.
"Well I say we go to the pool!" May cheered, and began to strip, before Misty and Dawn began to peel off their clothes as well.
"This is a pretty nice boat!" Brock commented, "Look at all the girls…" Brock said, drooling before practically floating away to a couple of girls standing on the side.
"Let's go find our rooms." Max said, attempting to drag Brock back by the arm. Ash nodded in agreement, Paul staying silent and Drew sighing.
"Oh my god! It's DREW!"
"It's ASH!"
"PAUL!" A multitude of high-pitched girl's voices could be heard from all over the ship, and they all twitched, before running off towards the sanctity of their rooms, hoards and hoards of girls following them, screaming wildly and waving around small pads, flashes of light going off as boys stared after them, wide eyed and slightly scared, rabid fangirls practically frothing at the mouth at each other to stay away from 'their boyfriends.'
Brock and Max were left in the dust, sweatdropping as they watched the dust go smaller.
"This ship is pretty big." Max said.
"They'll run out of places to hide eventually." Brock said, slightly depressed that all the girls were gone.
"But aren't the rooms safe?"
"Nothing is safe from a pack of fanatical girls, Max."
"…" Max looked slightly disturbed.
"Oh, I can't wait to see La Rousse!" May said happily, the three sitting in a luxurious bed on the top deck, the wind blowing in their faces, sunglasses on as the light filtered through the silk hanging from the bed's posts.
Misty sipped her lemonade as her hair floated in waves on her back, and Dawn began removing the clips in her hair. May's bandana was tied to one of the posts, and the pokemon were all resting safely in their pokeballs back in their room.
They all jumped when they heard girls beginning to scream names and squeal before they could have sworn a stampede had gone straight through and disappeared into the door to the lobby and restaurant room.
"…That means…" May began slowly.
"No, it doesn't." Dawn said, panicked.
"Oh no, it does." Misty retorted.
"That means that Max is on this boat!" May cried out, simply horrified at the thoughts of what her brother would say to her father, Norman. She could practically picture her punishment, sitting alone in a forest, in a large, dull and dreary stone tower with only one window…
"May, May… yoo hoo…!" Dawn waved her small hand in front of May's face, who snapped out of her nightmarish day dream and began to frantically shake Dawn's shoulders.
"I'm going to be locked up in a tower all alone and by myself forever!" She wailed.
"Calm down, May!" Misty said, grabbing May and gently shaking her.
"Y-yeah, that won't happen…" Dawn said, slightly impaired from all the shaking.
"We'll just avoid them the best we can!" Misty said, determined, fire practically burning in her eyes.
"Look on the bright side, they'll be stalked the entire time by their fans! Max is always with them, isn't he? They'll be running around hiding the entire time!" Dawn said optimistically.
May had calmed down and smiled at her two best friends. "I guess you're right!"
"Well, we should get ready. The sun is starting to set, and I heard tonight we're supposed to dress formal for dinner." Misty glanced at the sky, which was beginning to turn a slow orange.
"Alright."
The three stumbled out of the comfortable bed, walking down the stairs to the main pool deck before entering the restaurant room, and walking out the double doors and towards the elevator. Upon arriving their room, they quickly ran to the closet, throwing random dresses around as Dawn showered first. Then Misty showered, and then May, who happened to take the longest.
"Dawn, wear something that'll match your hair color… How about this?"
"No, I think that'll be way too much blue, May."
"Yeah, how about this one?" Dawn held up a pretty red, Chinese styled dress with two slits up the side.
"…Ooh. That's cute!" May laughed, and Dawn pulled on the dress, twirling.
"That shows off your gorgeous legs, Dawn!" Misty giggled, and the three began to look for something Misty could wear.
"You know what I just thought of…?" May started, handing Misty a white dress with a cinched waist, detailed sequin embroidery on the deep V-neck, and reached down to her knees.
"What?"
"What, other than Max and them, if the other guys were on the ship?" She put a finger to her chin thoughtfully, holding up a strapless teal dress that reached down a bit further than mid-thigh length.
"I'd probably have to jump off this boat and swim to the nearest island." Misty commented, as Dawn zipped up the rest of her zipper.
"Oh well. Let's go!" May said, cheerfully pulling on her dress before they all slipped on their shoes and left, holding small clutches that held their pokeballs in them. They reached the large, double doors to the dining area, a large room with windows that revealed the fading sun, and lavishly dressed people were walking in slowly, laughing in a quiet, but regal manner. The entire room was decked out beautifully with gold silks, and traditional designs.
"Right this way, please." A waitress showed them to their table, and they sat down by the window, the gold, slightly transparent silk shades held back by golden drawstrings with tassels hanging off the end. The table was round, and white silk sat on it, plates and forks all arranged so prettily, it was a shame to have to move them.
Settled in their seats, all three stared out the window at the orange, pink-ish sea deep in thought. Dawn happened to look at the door while playing with her fork, and at that moment, she saw eight familiar boys walking in, dressed in black suits.
"Duck!" Dawn hissed, and dragged the others down under the round, silk-covered table cloth while Max, Drew, Brock, Ash, and Paul passed, Melvin, Todd, and Brendan following a different waiter.
"They sit by us!"
"Who?" May and Misty looked confused.
"Um, well, Max and his buddies, PLUS, Melvin, Todd, and Brendan!"
"Kill me now, kill me now, kill me now…" Misty mumbled to herself, slapping her forehead.
May looked as though she wanted to cry. She was grateful for wearing waterproof make-up at that point.
"May I help you?" All three girls looked at their waitress, whose eyebrow was puckered upwards, staring at them oddly.
"We…"
"Um…"
"I… needed help finding my fork." Dawn said, holding up her fork lamely.
"Right…" Their waitress nodded, only believing it because of Dawn's serious face. Peering in an almost suspicious way, they looked around to notice all eight boys facing the other way from them.
They sat properly in their seats, and ordered their food. Misty rubbed her temples.
"I need an aspirin." She mumbled.
"This is way too close of a call. But I do not want to miss dinner." May grumbled, forehead resting on the table. Dawn sighed, and Misty didn't notice Togepi wandering off from the table. She turned to Togepi, and grabbed it in time from going over to Ash's Pikachu.
"Now stay here with us, Togepi." She scolded gently, and Togepi, unaffected by the tone of her voice, cheerfully waved its arms around.
Morning had arrived again, and after a good breakfast the three sat out on some lounge chairs, bodies slick from swimming in the pool. Droplets of water fell off their skin, dropping onto the floor before evaporating into the air.
"That was fun!" The three got up to go to their room for a shower, and shopping. They laughed and giggled at random things, and Misty held Togepi close to her, giggling as she tickled the small pokemon. They didn't notice the five boys following them from behind.
"May?" All three froze at the all too familiar voice, and realized they were in their bikinis. They slowly turned to face Max, and four other boys standing behind him. Max stared in shock, whether it was from seeing his sister or the fact she was wearing something that had practically every guy ogling her (and Misty and Dawn's) superb, lithe body from all points of view. Shocked eyes met with panicked ones, as Dawn nudged May in the side.
"What should we do…?" She whispered, voice in near hysterics.
"We… jump off this boat?"
"May! Dawn! Misty!" The three looked back, only to see Melvin, Brendan, and Todd from behind.
"No, we jump off this boat, and swim to the nearest island." Misty grumbled, looking completely mortified.
"You know…" Dawn started, "I think… we'll… talk to you at dinner, bye!" And ran off past Melvin, Todd, and Brendan, dragging her two friends along with her.
"What… just happened?" Ash asked, watching the three run off at a frantic pace, practically tripping and almost fighting to get through the door.
"I don't know." Max said, glasses hanging off the tip of his nose.
"Hey Max!" Brendan greeted, smiling cheerfully. Max glowered at him. He didn't know why, but he didn't like Brendan all that much. Maybe it was just little brother overly protectiveness.
"Who're you guys?" Melvin asked, curious.
"This is May's brother, Max!" Brendan introduced.
"Hey, I'm Ash!"
"I'm Brock. Nice to meet you!"
"Drew."
"Paul."
"I'm Melvin." Melvin gave a sort of timid wave.
"I'm Todd."
"Oh! You're the one who took those photographs of Aerodactyl and Articuno, right?" Brock said, pointing to Todd.
"Yep."
"Look, I'd love to continue this conversation but I'd rather go talk to my sister." Max said, running past the three boys.
All three panted, standing by their closed door before running over to the shower. Misty got in first, then Dawn, then May and they all dressed in comfortable pajama pants and camis', obviously having no intention of leaving the room.
"Do they have room service?" May asked, searching through the side table drawers.
"Well, I know we can order food on the boat to our room."
"Let's do that then." Misty nodded, agreeing with May.
"I have no intention of leaving this room for the rest of the trip." Dawn grumbled, pinching the bridge of her nose.
"Count me in." Misty shoved her face into her pillow, Togepi patting her shoulder affectionately.
"Well, Max is smart, he'll find out what room number we have eventually." May said, in desolation.
The other two groaned in response.
Um, slightly long chapter. Sorry if it's too long! Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Slightly altered from the preview, but chapter 2 will come out soon, hopefully!
Thanks for reading!
