I'm very mad at you guys. I only got two reviews!
Two of my regulars didn't review and that worries me. Are you all alive and okay? What do you guys think about the whole Hurricane Irene thing? Are you all okay? I'm really concerned.
Well, I wanted to thank i just like to read theses and TheBobWhoFrtd for reviewing.
I own nothing! Get it through your heads, people!
LEAF'S POV
"Bye, Mom!" I said as I went straight for the door.
"Don't get into any fights with anyone!" she shouted from upstairs.
"Whatever," I muttered to myself as I turned the door knob.
I raised an eyebrow when all I saw was Ash talking on his cell phone and pacing back and forth. I ran up to him as he shoved his phone into his pocket.
"What's going on, Ash? Where's Gary?"
"Professor Oak said he's still sleeping. He was up late with his research, so the Professor's letting him sleep in."
I groaned. "How are we supposed to get to school?"
"Let's run to my house and grab my Charizard."
I nodded as we started sprinting off to Ash's house, competing the entire way. We were neck and neck, and we didn't stop as we sped through the door and up the stairs into Ash's room. Ash fished the right Poke ball out of a drawer and we sped back down the stairs just as fast, running right past Mrs. Ketchum.

"Gary's so lucky! I didn't get to sleep in at all today!" I exclaimed as we flew to Cerulean Academy. "He's gotta stop staying up so freaking late with his research! All it is is extra homework," I continued to ramble on and on until Ash slapped a hand over my mouth.
"Leaf, you need to shut up unless you want me to crash and kill both of us."
I nodded and licked his hand with the tip of my tongue, making him shriek and wipe the palm of his hand on his shirt.
"Gross!" he whined as I laughed.
I cranked up my iPod and decided not to sing horribly, instead I'd hum. 'I'll save the irritating singing for Gary.'
As I got to the end of the second chorus, Ash tapped me and motioned for me to take out my earbuds.
I did as instructed. "What?"
"Please stop, Leaf. Can't you save the weirdness for Gary instead?"
I rubbed my chin. "Good idea. But when he asks why I'm being so annoying, I'm blaming you."
He gave me a thumbs-up and said, "Time to land!"
I gripped onto Charizard as we dove down to the ground. We both jumped off and ran over to Misty.
"Ash was being mean to me!" I whined.
"Nu-uh!"
We had another tongue-sticking-out contest as Misty rolled her eyes and yanked both of us into school. She let go of us and made us shake hands and apologize.
"I gotta go, guys." He gave Misty a kiss on her cheek and ran over to Brandon and Steven.
When Ash was out of earshot, I let out a really loud "Awwwwww!"
Misty's cheeks turned bright red and she smiled. "Shut up."
We walked over to our lockers and mine exploded all over me.
I groaned. "Misty, help me!"

ASH'S POV
I walked down the hall while Brandon, Steven, and I stopped at my locker on the way.
"So, I'm thinking about asking this girl out," Brandon said, biting his lip nervously.
"Really? Are you sure? Who the heck would you ask out? She'll probably say no," Steven said with a huge smirk on his face.
Brandon glared at him while I rolled my eyes. "Who are you thinking about asking out, Brandon?"
"Leaf Green. Why?" he asked, nervously chewing on his lip again.
I dropped my books to the floor in shock, and quickly kneelt down to pick them up.
"Not bad, Brandon. Not bad," Steven said in approval, patting Brandon's back.
I tried to imagine my high school friend with my childhood friend, but I couldn't. It just seemed, I don't know, wrong to me.
"Ash," Brandon asked, looking right at me. "I've heard you've known Leaf for a year or so. Could you help me out? Or do you not know her well enough to ask her about something like this?"
"I've known Leaf since we were both five years old," I said with confidence, and then I instantly regretted ever saying anything at all.
"Perfect! So you'll help me?" he asked with pleading eyes.
I sighed with defeat. "I guess, but I'm not promising anything."
Brandon jumped and punched the air with victory. "Thanks, Ash!" he said, running down the hall with excitement to Language Arts.

LEAF'S POV
Just as I was about to go to bed since it was such an early morning for me and I was completely wiped out, Ash started texting me.
hey leaf

My eyes widened. I barely knew this guy, which made me wonder why he'd want to go out with me of all people.

My mind instantly floated to Gary.

I could practically see Ash look around with worry.

I thought about my crush on Gary. Was I really going to turn down a date with a nice, cute guy because of the one in a gazillion chance of Gary asking me out? Nope. Ya know why? I'm not stupid.

so ull go out w/ him
sure but don't tell him about this
y not?
I want him 2 b surprised ;)
k good nite!
I slid my phone shut and glanced at my alarm clock. It was after 11:30, and I was exhausted. I smiled to myself. 'This could be interesting… I can't wait!'
Looks like Gary's got some competition... How do you think he'll react to this? I know but I won't tell you. After all, this story's just begun. *laughs evilly*
