The Thing With Hajimes
Me: lol, now I give Dazzles a family ability!
Karrie: WHAT IT IT? TELL ME!
Me: No, only me, Keith, and the readers will ever know. You'll only find out towards the end of the story
Karrie: no fair!
Keith: hehe
Kellyn: T.T
Kate: O.o
Me: I do not own Pokemon nor Vocaloid
Karrie: we're using Vocaloid this chapter?
Me: maybe =)
Karrie: =D
Chapter 33: Dazzle = Dreamwalker?
Keith's P.O.V.
I was slowly getting back my ability to hear. Karrie was still unconscious though. All this time made me think of something my Grandma told me a long time ago. What she told me is the main reason why I believed Kate.
~flashback~
"Grandma? You wanted to talk to me?" I asked as I opened the door to Grandma's library.
"Yes Keith, come here." replied Grandma. I walked over and sat on the rug in front of Grandma's rocker. "You know you're special, right?" I nodded. Every kid's parents and grandparents told them that they were special. "Well Keith, have you ever heard of the Dreamwalkers?"
"No Grandma." I replied. "But I have heard of the Chosen Protectors, the true knights of this world." It was a common myth.
"Dreamwalkers are very special people who can enter into people's dreams. They can watch and view the dream. Sometimes they can talk to the person in their dream. They can even change the dream to be one of an old memory of the person's life if they are strong enough." Grandma explained.
"That's cool." I replied in awe. I thought only Drowzee could do that.
"The Dazzle family are descendants of the strongest Dreamwalkers known to this world." Grandma said. "Keith, you are a Dreamwalker."
~end of flashback~
A Dreamwalker. Yes, I am one of those, though I never tested out my dream walking abilities before.
"Hey Keith!" said Kate. I looked at her. "Is she still unconscious?" I looked at Karrie.
"Yes, unless she is now just sleeping." I replied.
"Rhythmi keeps pestering me to try to get Kellyn to check on her but Karrie is still managing to block both of us out." Kate said. She said some more things but I couldn't hear her. I turned away and looked worriedly at Karrie. Is it normal for her to be out like this for a couple of days just from screaming? "I have to go." Kate left.
I heard Karrie stir. I walked over to her side and noticed that she was tossing and turning slightly as if she was having a bad dream. Maybe I could help her by changing her dream into a pleasant memory. It was worth a shot. I held Karrie's hand and concentrated hard. Soon I found myself drifting away.
It was dark, a little too dark. I squinted to see if I could try to figure out where to go from here. Soon I saw what she was seeing except I was looking in from a 3rd person perspective.
"No, don't hurt them!" pleaded a Karrie who seemed to be on the verge of tears. I looked to see who was 'them.' I couldn't believe it. Some black figures had somehow captured Kellyn, Kate, and me! "Let them go! Take me instead!"
"Sure, just come over here." said a man. Karrie walked over.
"Don't! Karrie! Don't sacrifice yourself for us!" I frantically yelled at her. The fake dream Keith apparently yelled the same thing at the same time as I did.
"I can't let you guys get hurt. You three mean the world to me." Karrie replied with tears streaming down her eyes.
"Karrie..." I muttered. I couldn't take her suffering this dream any longer. I had to figure out how to change the 'channel.' I put my hand out. Oddly enough, it touched some type of barrier. Suddenly the scene minimized and I saw that it was just like operating a touch pad. I scrolled through and found something that looked like a pleasant memory. Soon I found myself watching an old childhood memory. I recognized the place as Ringtown. I looked for a Karrie.
There was a little miniature Karrie running across the lawn. She was running to a young girl with shirt green hair and goggles. Running at her side were zigzagoons, linoones, rattatas, and mudkips.
"Gumi!" Karrie shouted.
"Karrie!" The green haired girl shouted back. They embraced, It was like they were old friends or something.
"You came to visit!" Karrie said.
"Yep," Gumi replied. I assume that's the green haired girl's name.
"I heard you now have your own voice bank in the Vocaloid system!" Karrie said excitedly. Was this why she loved Vocaloid so much?
"You heard right. Hey, I have an idea, let's have a practice session. I haven't heard you sing in years!" Gumi replied.
"Okay, do you have music? Are you going to start?" asked Karrie. Gumi laughed. I couldn't help but smile.
"We don't need music to sing Karrie. Yes, I'll start," replied Gumi. "But I think I have some music with me." Gumi pulled out a portable Cd player.
"Let's just sing then." said Karrie. Gumi put something in and hit play. "Chokoreeto!" I chuckled.
"tokekake no CHOKOREETO tabetakute mo todokanai
doro doro ni tokete yuku amai yuuwaku to
obore sou ni natta daeki no mizutamari
nomihoshite nomihoshite kimochi warugaranai de
kanashikute setsunakute nigai no wa mada iranai kara
doro doro ni natte ito o hiita." sang Gumi. I had no clue what she was singing though.
"CHOKOREETO ga tabetai dareka kudasai
mou gaman dekinai ieki mamire
CHOKOREETO ni naritai tokechaitai
mou gaman dekinai kubi o kiru
aa kimochi warui" Karrie joined in. Suddenly, it seemed as though translations were appearing onto the dream. It had to be Karrie's brain translating it.
"[Give me chocolate, someone, please!
I can't stand being covered in these juices any longer
I'd like to become chocolate and melt away
I just can't take it, off with my head!]" sang Karrie.
"[Give me chocolate, someone, please!
I can't stand being covered in these juices any longer
I'd like to become chocolate and melt away
I just can't take it... how disgusting]" sang Karrie with Gumi. The song ended. So the whole song was about chocolate? What the heck?
"Not bad Karrie," said Gumi.
"GUMI! We're performing in one hour!" yelled someone. Before I got a chance to see more, some thing or someone grabbed me and I no longer was in control. There was a flash of white light.
"You should not venture in where you do not belong Dreamwalker." said a male voice. I couldn't even catch a glimpse of the guy. I found myself back in the infirmary.
"What the heck?" I muttered to myself. I looked over at Karrie to see her smiling in her sleep.
'Mission accomplished.' I thought. I then fell asleep. I guess dream walking takes a lot out of you.
Regular P.O.V.
3 hours later.
Kate walked in to find Karrie sleeping. She was surprised to find Keith sleeping while holding her hand. A smile crept up on her face. There was no denying that those two were meant to be together. She walked over and left Karrie's egg on the night stand, knowing that when Karrie woke up, she would want to know where it is. And maybe , just maybe, Kate will spare them the humility and not tell Rhythmi.
"Wha-what happened?" asked Karrie as she aroused from slumber.
"Let's see, ringing noise, you screaming bloody murder, pokemon going crazy, Keith having to carry you, destroying a machine, you passing out, and Keith going temporarily deaf." Kate replied. All Karrie could do was mouth the word 'oh' as she absorbed the information Kate just gave her. Karrie looked over at a sleeping Keith, who was still holding her hand, and she blushed. "He really was worried about you. Never have I seen him act so serious before. He was really determined to stop whatever was causing that noise and hurting you." Karrie blushed even more. "Oh, by the way, he, Rhythmi, the Area Rangers, and probably Ms. April and Mr. Lamont know about the telepathy thing." Karrie nodded. "Oh, and you should stop blocking out Kellyn. You've been making him worry about your health." Karrie blushed.
"I was blocking him out originally because I didn't want him to know how the ringing noise was affecting nor how much pain it was giving me. I was afraid he'd feel the affects as bad as I was." Karrie replied.
"I understand, you were just trying to protect him." said Kate. "Rhythmi has been bugging me to get Kellyn to get you to finally admit that you like Keith. We're trying to explain to her that it doesn't exactly work like that." Karrie smirked.
"Unlike Kellyn, I can block people out mentally very easily. In fact, it's almost impossible for Kellyn to block me out. I'm pretty sure Kiwi and our parents could get into his mind anytime they'd like." Karrie replied.
May I remind you Kiwi managed to get into your mind? Kellyn asked as he joined the conversation. Karrie visibly scowled.
I wasn't busy blocking everybody out then. Karrie replied.
Whatever you say dragon breath. Kellyn said.
Watch what you call me bird brain! Karrie warned.
Quit fighting you two! Kate yelled at the two siblings.
Fine, glacie virgo avis. Karrie replied. [A/N: yes, Karrie just spoke/thought Latin. Glacie virgo avis means ice bird's maiden according to Google Translate]
Come again? Asked Kate.
I'm not repeating it, gelu dominae. Replied Karrie. [Translation: ice mistress]
Quit speaking Latin to Kate, Karrie. Said Kellyn.
Watashi wa, watashi ga hanasu koto o sukina gengo no kyōdai o hanasudeshou. Replied Karrie with a smirk. [A/N: she's now speaking/thinking in Japanese. It means: "I will speak whatever language I want to speak, brother." according to Google Translate.]
Meiwakuna imōto watashi ga motte iru nani. [Translation: "What an annoying little sister I have." according to Google Translate] I'm sorry Kate, for Karrie's behavior. Kellyn said with a sigh.
Watashi wa anata no ryōhō o yurusu. Replied Kate with a smile. [translation: "I forgive both of you"] Both Kellyn and Karrie were shocked, Kate knew how to speak Japanese!
~end of chapter~
Me: What a nice chapter. I felt bad for Keith since he never will be able to do the telepathy thing especially since it would be useless since Karrie blocks people out so well.
Keith: I can enter your dreams and change them! Ha!
Me: T.T you do realize that your powers are pretty much useless, right?
Keith: =( aw
Me: you won't often use it anyways but...
Kate: Mazushii kīsu-kun, subete hidari kara. [Poor Keith-kun, all left out.]
Karrie: O.O Īe kōsei nashi [no fair]
Kellyn: you can't always have your way Karrie
Karrie: , Tori no nō o shattodaun! [Shut up, bird brain!]
Kellyn: What did mom say about calling me bird brain?
Karrie: not to, but-
Me: you don't want to disobey your mother
Karrie: she's not that scary when she's mad
Kiwi: Chōdo sore ni chokumen shite iru! Korera futatsu wa tsuneni karera no tatakai ni narimasu. Kanojo wa kare no tori no nō, baka, matawa damī o yobidasu no shūkan kara nukedasu koto wa kesshite arimasen. [Just face it! Those two will always have their fights. She will never get out of the habit of calling him bird brain, idiot, or dummy.]
Keith: WOULD YOU ALL QUIT IT WITH THE TALKING IN JAPANESE THING? I CAN'T UNDERSTAND A SINGLE WORD YOU SAY!
Karrie: Mommy made us take foreign language when we were little.
Kiwi: sí
Kellyn: Mom wanted us to be able to excel at anything, anywhere, anytime... -_-"
Karrie: Latin, Japanese, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Italian, Russian, and Korean...
Kiwi: and people wonder why we're so smart, it's all Mom's fault!
Keith: O.O Creo que tengo miedo de tu madre. [Spanish to English: "I think I'm scared of your mother now."]
Me: Holy crap! He speaks Spanish!
Keith: I took a course in middle school, I was bored. I got go to a Spanish village and get a taste of their hospitality for free if I took the course for 4 years.
Me: T.T what is it with you and food?
Mrs. Hajime: Kellyn! Karrie! Kiwi! Lessons, NOW!
The Hajime kids: but Mom...
Mrs. Hajime: Vou começar o seu pai se você não obedecer! Você quer receber o meu castigo? [Portuguese to English: "I will get your father if you do not obey! Do you want to receive my punishment?"]
Me: O.O why does her speaking in Portuguese sound like you're all in BIG trouble?
Kellyn: *sighs* it's normally not a good thing if she's yelling at us in Portuguese.
Rhythmi: Mrs. Hajime wants Kiwi to do her language lessons, Kellyn to start his business lessons, and Karrie to start her cooking lessons.
Kiwi & Kellyn: *groans* aw!
Karrie: cooking lessons? YAY! No more business lessons!
Keith: Please review...
Ash, promise me that you'll make sure I don't get on Mrs. Hajimes bad side
Me: I'm not promising anything Keith.
