Chapter 2

Helloooo! I need some help!

Should I pair Ash with Cilan, Gary, Paul OR just keep the story a funny thing where everyone's denying everything?

I'm obsessed with Cafemocha ATM, but it may not stay like that forever so I need to decide now.

I do not own Pokemon.

So, me, my mom, Violet, and our guests had all crammed into the SUV my mom rented. Well, not really 'crammed', but it wasn't exactly comfortable. Ash was on my left, and I was next to the right window in the second row. He looked over at my notebook I had been writing in, and scowled.

"Do you have to work on those here?" he asked bitterly.

'Those' being my child OCs. Currently I was working on Rose, Ash and Cilan's oldest daughter.

"Yes. Because I enjoy annoying you" I replied with a Gary-like smirk. I heard Gary and Paul snicker in the seat behind us. Ash rolled his eyes.

"By the way, Tiffany, you were using some foul language last night, playing on your 3DS. What had you so riled up?" Cilan asked from next to Ash. I could tell he was only trying to keep the other three from breaking out into a pokemon battle in the middle of the car, yet I still answered.

"My game was being unfair" I replied simply. Cilan cocked his head, silently asking me to elaborate. I sighed.

"Let me put it this way; If the player's pokemon has a limit on its moves, then the NPC's pokemon should have that same limit. I kept having to revive them, over and over. I swear the game producers gave the NPC pokemon more moves or something, because it was totally stupid. I'm lucky that I didn't have to restart"

The response was exactly what I expected: A bunch of blank stares.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Gary snorted. I shook my head.

"Game pokemon battles are different from real life battles. Let's leave it at that" They said no more on the matter, and Ash snatched my Android from my bag.

"Hey, Tiffany. Can I put on 'Sparks Fly'?" he asked. It took all I had to keep from laughing. Not because I found it odd that Ash wanted to listen to a Taylor Swift song, but because I had dubbed said song my 'Cafemocha theme song'

Come on, 'Get me with those green eyes baby'? That is totally describing Cilan!

Or not. I know, I'm kinda weird.

"Sure, why not" I responded to Ash's question. He beamed and put it on, then plugged it up to a portable speaker I'd brought with me.

"Too loud!" I shouted over the music, reaching over to turn down the volume. Geez, does this kid even HAVE eardrums?! Or a brain?! Especially since he knew I was working on child profiles!

...Actually, he probably WANTED me to not concentrate. Oh well.

Speaking of which... Should Rose be a trainer or a connoiseur? Or maybe... Maybe something else? Hmm. I suppose I could give her a twin, make one a trainer and the other a connoiseur...

I was so deep in thought that I barely noticed we'd stopped for food, until Ash snatched my book from my hands, giving me a death glare.

"We're at a food stop, Tiffany. Time to put away the children" he hissed. I blinked. He must have been REALLY hungry to be looking at me like that. I nervously, and quickly, got out of the car, to see that we were at a nice little diner. One of my favorites actually, but we never found one within a five mile radius of our home so we never ate at one.

"Race ya Ash!" I cried over my shoulder as I had already started to run. I heard him shouting after me, 'No fair!' and 'Hey! Cheater!' but I ignored it, laughing. He managed to catch up, but I was still first to the door, the others walking calmly behind us.

"These people's mashed potatoes are amazing" I said as we all walked in. Of course, as it always was when we were out in public with the pokemon characters, everyone stared at us. But we'd grown used to it, and we simply asked for three tables. Me, Violet and my mom were eating at one, Jessie, Meowth and James were eating at another, and Ash, Gary, Paul and Cilan were eating at the last one. Before Cilan sat down, I grabbed his arm.

"Remember: Your name is Bob" I said with a completely serious face. I heard Violet cracking up next to me, and that was all it took before I burst out laughing myself at the confused look Cilan wore.

"My fault... I told her to say that the first chance she got" Violet giggled. Cilan shook his head and took his seat.
