The Thing With Hajimes

Me: Must write down these little thoughts on paper.

Karrie: Whatcha writing?

Me: *panics* N-nothing! I have to hide these in the top secret vault before they read it!

Karrie: *starts to read first couple of words* Keith x …...

Me: KARRIE! NO! *snatches paper, puts it in a vault, and shuts the vault* Phew! That was close!

Kate: What's all the yelling about?

Me: NOTHING!

Karrie: She was writing match ups!

Me: Quiet you!

Kellyn: Where's Keith?

*Keith walks in with a couple of packages of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups*

Me: OH MY GOSH! HE HAS REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS! GIVE ME! *goes after Keith*

Keith: NO! GET YOUR OWN CYBER REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS!

Me: GIVE ME! GIVE ME! GIVE ME! GIVE ME!

Karrie, Kate, & Kellyn: *sweat drops* ….

*I tackle Keith and grab the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. I start to eat them while sitting on him*

Me: Yum! I love Reese's Peanut Butter Cups! Thank you Keith!

Keith: *squished* Your welcome. Can you get off me?

Me: Yes I can, but that doesn't mean I will.

Karrie: Kellyn, the Disclaimer dude went on a very long vacation.

Kellyn: So?

Karrie: You're doing the disclaimer today

Kellyn: Fine. pokelover0ash does not own anything but her thoughts and her own ideas.

Keith: Thank you Lord!

Kate: she also owns the few items that she has that she bought with her own money.

Me: And I don't own Reese's Peanut Butter Cups! *starts to cry*

Kate: Now, now, it will be okay. *tries to comfort me*

Chapter 9: Outdoor Class

Kate was soundly asleep when she was shaken by some person trying to wake her up.

"Five more minutes." mumbled Kate sleepily.

"It's almost time for class! Today is the Outdoor Class!" exclaimed Rythmi and Kate got up knowing all too well that it was futile to try to sleep when Rythmi was the one trying to wake you up.

"Fine. I'm up." replied Kate. It had been a month since she had first met Rythmi, but a month was all it took to figure out that when Rythmi tells you to do something, you do it. Kate got changed, brushed her hair and carefully put them in pig tails.

"Hurry up!" said Rythmi. Then Kate looked at the clock. 6:30. Class started at 7:30.

"Rythmi! It's only 6:30!" replied Kate.

"Fine! You have 45 minutes!" replied Rythmi.

"I'm going back to bed, school uniform or not." said Kate and she went back to bed. That was when she heard Kellyn's voice again but this time, there was another.

There's no more room for another student at her school. Said Kellyn's voice.

I know! This is the hundredth time you told me! Said the mystery voice.

Why is it you always seem to be somewhere in the back of my head? Asked Kellyn's voice.

I don't know. It's annoying though. Replied the mystery voice. I feel the presence of another.

Is it a relative on Father's side? Asked Kellyn's voice.

No. It's different. Replied the mystery voice.

I know who it is. I'd know that touch any where. I felt it once, though I was convinced it was just a dream. It's Kate. Said Kellyn's voice.

Kellyn? thought Kate.

Poor girl, probably doesn't realize that this isn't a dream. Said the mystery voice that Kate had distinguished as a female. It's a mind link, kind of what you call telepathy.

You're confusing her. Replied Kellyn's voice.

I'm sorry. Replied the mystery voice. It's just that I haven't had any one new to talk to.

Can you at least shut up for a while so I can talk to Kate? Asked Kellyn's voice.

Fine. You're boring any ways. Replied the mystery voice.

Sorry about my sister. Said Kellyn's voice.

Sister? Thought Kate.

She didn't mean to throw you off guard like that. Said Kellyn's voice.

So this isn't a dream? Asked Kate in a thought.

No dream. Though I have no idea how you managed to link your mind to mine, and on the same path. Replied Kellyn's voice.

I miss you. Said Kate, in her thoughts of course.

I miss you too. Replied Kellyn. And, sadly, I miss those rumors people had going around about us being a couple. Girls won't leave me alone over here.

Rythmi was right. Replied Kate.

Rythmi? Who's Rythmi? Asked Kellyn.

One of my friends here. She has puffy blonde hair. Replied Kate.

Oh, okay. Said Kellyn. Hmm, so what have you been up to lately?

School. And hanging out with my two friends that are here. Replied Kate

Rythmi and? Said Kellyn

Keith. A loud mouth, hot head boy with red spiky hair. Replied Kate and she could have sworn she heard Kellyn growl. And he's just a friend.

So was I replied Kellyn.

You're actually jealous, aren't you? Asked Kate though she was quite amused by the mere thought of Kellyn being jealous. Once again she heard him growl.

He's a boy. Replied Kellyn.

So are you. Replied Kate.

I still don't like the idea. Said Kellyn

What idea? Asked Kate.

Of him being close to you. Replied Kellyn.

Ooh! Kellyn's jealous! Replied Kate. Kellyn growled.

Not. Funny. Said Kellyn.

Calm down Kellyn. You have nothing to worry about. Remember who was the one who stole my first kiss? Asked Kate and she could have sworn she felt him smirk.

You're lucky there's a whole ocean between us and we're on separate regions, because you're asking for it. Replied Kellyn.

Asking for what? Asked Kate.

A kiss and for me to go out of control. Replied Kellyn.

You go out of control? Since when? Asked Kate.

Since you stole my heart. Replied Kellyn.

Kellyn... said Kate.

"Kate! Wake up! It's 7: 20!" shouted Rythmi.

Man! That girl is loud! That Rythmi? Asked Kellyn.

Yeah. Replied Kate.

I guess you should get going then. Said Kellyn. I just hope she's not like Ben who would pour ice cold water on you to rudely wake you up.

Ben? Asked Kate.

I'll talk to you more later, okay? You don't want to be late. Replied Kellyn.

In my opinion, this is so much better that AIM or mail. Said Kate. Later Kellyn.

Kate got up and fixed her uniform and hair only to be dragged out by Rythmi. They met up with Keith who wanted to go immediately to the Outdoor Class but he reluctantly followed Rythmi to their classroom. When they went to the Outdoor Class, they saw a Ranger in official Ranger uniform with an afro.

"I'm Crawford." said the Ranger. "Nice to meet you everyone!"

"Thank you for coming Mr Crawford!" replied the class.

"This is my partner pokemon, Budew." said Crawford as he pointed out the Budew who was standing next to him. Kate thought it was hilarious that someone so big could have a partner so small. Then he showed them more pokemon. "These are my Friend Pokemon."

"Wow, so cool." said the class.

"Hi Crawford! It's been a long time! But that giant explosion of an afro," said Ms. April. "I think I liked your hairstyle the way it was before."

"I agree. It's a fashion disaster." said Rythmi.

"Well I think its cool." replied Keith.

"Just let the guy have his hair look whatever way he wants it. No need to fight over it." replied Kate.

"It makes me nervous to see that kind of jumbled up outgrowth of anything." said Ms. April as she ignored the trio. "But that's enough of that. We're all here, so let's begin. Let's get to the Outdoor Class's main event: The Question-a-Answer Session of Terror!"

"Terror for me or terror for the kids?" asked Crawford. Keith and Kate laughed. Crawford smiled.

"Let it begin!" said Ms. April.

"Crawford, why did you decide to become a Ranger?" asked a male student.

"Well, it's because I love Pokemon." replied Crawford. "I wanted to become friends with them. You know, to bond with them. Besides, it's a cool job!"

"That's the same way I feel!" replied the male student who had asked the question. Then one by one each student asked a question and Crawford answered it.

"Me next! My name's Rythmi!" said Rythmi. "There isn't anything I'd rather be than to become an Operator! Do you think I'll become one? You can tell right?"

"I'm only seeing you for the first time ever, so I don't know you very well. Sure thing! No problem! You'll be an operator alright!" replied Crawford.

"That's right! Those are the words I wanted to here!" replied Rythmi.

"Rythmi...Are you maybe confusing him with a fortune-teller?" asked Keith. "Excuse me Ranger, how about me? Will I become a Ranger?"

"Say aren't you confusing me with a fortune-teller or something, too?" asked Crawford. "But, I can tell this about you: your strong will shines through loud and proud. I'm sure you'll make it. Why, you might become a better Ranger than me! But that's if you can avoid spinning your wheels, so to speak."

"Uh...Is that right? I'll do the best I can! Um, okay, here's my second question." said Keith.

"No fair Keith! One question per student!" shouted a female student. Keith looked like he decided to keep his mouth shout to avoid having almost the whole class go up against him. "Crawford's too busy!" Then the student asked Crawford a question that made Crawford tell them silly embarrassing things he did and everyone was laughing.

"Keep a positive attitude and work hard!" said Crawford.

"We will!" replied the class. Soon after Crawford got called in to do a mission so he had to leave before Kate could ask him her question. He had to save a Mantine with someone named Luana. "So cool." said the class.

"Please, save the Mantine." said Rythmi. Crawford did a Ranger pose and then left.

"That was so COOL!" exclaimed an overly excited Keith.

"Kate, you never got to ask your question, did you?" asked Rythmi.

"No." replied Kate.

"I'm sorry, maybe next time." replied Rythmi.

"It's alright. That Mantine needs help more than I need to ask that question. The Mantine's health is way more important." replied Kate with her best smile she could put up.

"If you say so." replied Rythmi.

~p~o~k~e~l~o~v~e~r~0~a~s~h~

Me: ~Glorious Reese's Peanut Butter Cups!

Rythmi: Ahem, Chapter 8 and 9 are messed up chronologically.

Me: I noticed

Rythmi: Fix it

Me: Doesn't matter...it doesn't have to be exactly like the game play! Especially since it's not!

Kellyn: mind links, telepathy...

Me: Keith, where's Karrie? Kellyn, where's Kate?

Keith: Karrie is currently being chased around outside by Kate who is pestering her with questions

Me: Oh bother

Rythmi: Please review. I have, like, no work to do here.

Me: That's because I get things done before you come in. Some assistant you are. Working only 3 hours a day 2 days a week.

Kellyn: That's pretty bad. I'd fire her

Me: I would if it wasn't for the fact SHE'S in charge of finalizing the paperwork for firing someone.

Kellyn: Oh...

Me: Yeah, but I got one review!

Keith: Cool!

Me: Thank you Friendly Kitty for reviewing!

Rythmi: Ooh! She is so friendly!

Keith: that was one bad pun

Me: oh yes that was a knee slapper O.O

Kellyn: Please, promise me you'll never have her do a stand up comedy

Me: I promise O.O

Keith: Alright! Where's my secret stash of cyber treats?

Me: I, um, took them and your cyber money and got this cyber "edible" arrangement for Friendly Kitty as thanks for reviewing

Keith: You have any idea how expensive they are?

Me: That's why I borrowed your cyber money, Kellyn's cyber money, Lunick's cyber money, Ben's cyber money, and ALL of Sasha Queens cyber money

Ranger Boys: So cruel!

Me: Anyways, please review. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a cyber "edible" arrangement to deliver!
