The Thing With Hajimes
Me: Karrie, Friendly Kitty says congratulations!
Karrie: Thank you Friendly Kitty!
Me: oh, and someone called Flyzii said they think that you are a bit of a Mary-Sue
Karrie: um...okay...what's a Mary-Sue? ^_^"
Me: ^_^" I'm not sure myself
Kellyn: isn't a Mary-Sue some girl who can do just about everything, kicks butt, and always saves the day?
Me: I dunno
Karrie: I can't do everything and I don't always save the day
Kate: so you always kick butt?
Karrie: I like to think that I do most of the time ^_^"
Me: well, this chapter we reveal one of Karrie's weaknesses
Karrie: please don't tell me you're sticking me somewhere cold like Fall City, or worse, Wintown!
Me: O.O no
Kellyn: Karrie hates the cold, the cold makes her slow down and she can't really do much
Karrie: well, at least I'm not the one who can't stand the heat even though they're native to Summerland! )=
Kate:O.o
Keith:what are we doing this chapter?
Me: something having to do with competition and Blue
Kellyn: T.T
Kate: ^_^" pokelover0ash does not own pokemon nor vocaloid
Me: oh yeah, Kellyn, BrisingrBoy says don't be overprotective
Kellyn: -_-
Kate: I told you =P
Me: Keith, he said not to stare
Keith: *blushes*
Me: Kiwi, he said not to spread gossip
Kiwi: aw, all I did was tell Blue and Sakura...and Teah...and my parents...and White...and Lyra...and Meiko...
Karrie: granted that's not everyone, but did you have to tell Blue? As well as Lyra, who, sorry, tends to slip and let things out when taking? -_-" and Teah...she's almost as bad as Blue
Blue & Teah: HEY!
Kiwi: but I told them the truth...you really do hold special feelings for the red head
Keith: Is she referring to me?
Karrie: *blushes* Just because somethings may be true doesn't mean its not gossip!
Rhythmi: Ah ha! She admits its true!
Karrie: I said somethings MAY be true
Kiwi: well, now I know a little more about gossip and I'll try to not do it again! I'll remind you, I'm younger than you!
Me: Well, that was a nice little life lesson...I still want to know what the heck a Mary-Sue is! Not knowing is getting on my nerves!
Kellyn: I'll try to not be so overprotective...
Keith: I'll try not stare... I really didn't mean to stare, I promise!
Me: okay, chapter starts now!
Chapter 41: Ben, Summer, Kiwi, & Art
"Ahem, you two could have told me you two were dating." said Kellyn as he noticed that Keith and Karrie were holding hands. The two immediately let go of each others' hands while blushing.
"We're not dating." replied Karrie.
"Big Brother! Big Sister!" shouted a little girl with brown hair and blue eyes running towards them. "Or should I say Onee-san and Nee-chan?"
"Hey Kiwi," replied Kellyn and Karrie. The little girl jumped into Kellyn's arms and Karrie ran over the short distance to Kellyn while Keith just followed Karrie.
"Aw, she's so adorable!" said Kate. Kiwi looked to be about 5 years old, wore a pink and green dress, had short brown hair that had a little side ponytail for show, and had the same eyes as Karrie and Kellyn.
"Is that Kate?" asked Kiwi.
"Yes," replied Kellyn.
"I like her, she's pretty." said Kiwi, making Kate blush a little. Then Kiwi noticed Keith. "Sis, is that the red head that-" Karrie took her from Kellyn, put her hand over the little girl's mouth while blushing.
I'm going to kill you if you finish that sentence, got it? Asked Karrie.
Yes. Replied Kiwi.
Good. Said Karrie as she removed her hand from Kiwi's mouth.
"That's Keith." replied Karrie.
So he is- started Kiwi.
Do you want to get hurt? Bad enough almost every other Hajime refers to him as my boyfriend because of you! Interrupted Karrie.
"Is that your little sister that you mentioned?" asked Keith. "And her name was...Kiwi, right?"
"Okay, how come you couldn't remember my name for the first couple hours after it being said but you can remember my sister's name?" asked Karrie. Keith sweat dropped.
"I don't know, maybe because her name is a fruit?" replied Keith. Karrie sighed.
"Before we have a sister fight or argument, I think I'll hold Kiwi, Karrie." suggested Kellyn who already started to recover his baby sister from Karrie.
"Sister fight?" asked Keith and Kate.
"The two tend to get on each others nerves," replied Kellyn. "Especially since Karrie's a tomboy and Kiwi's developing into a girly girl."
"Oh," said Keith and Kate.
She's just jealous because Keith remembered my name no problem. Said Kiwi.
I'd knock it off if I were you. You have already managed to get on her nerves with the whole gossip deal. Replied Kellyn.
"Hey, isn't the rest of your Junior class here?" asked Kate. Kellyn nodded. "Then Ben and Summer are here too!"
Um, Kellyn, there's this girl in your class who won't stop asking me to take her to you and where you are. She acts and talks as if she own you. Said Lyra.
Ignore her, please. Replied Kellyn.
Who is the girl? Asked Kate.
Sasha Queens, a very annoying girl who flirts with Ben as well as with me. I told her I don't like her and that I have you but it hasn't exactly gotten her to bug off completely though she's more after Ben then me. Replied Kellyn.
Can we beat her up for you? Asked Kiwi and Karrie.
No need for you two to get involved. Replied Kellyn.
She better keep her hands off my boy! Said Kate making Kellyn blush.
Guess Kellyn's not the only protective one!~ replied Kiwi and Karrie making Kellyn to blush harder and Kate to start blushing.
"Um guys, you do realize how awkward it is to have you guys go spacing out having mental conversations and leaving me to try to figure out what the heck you guys could be talking about and epically failing?" asked Keith. The four brunettes blinked and looked at Keith while blushing from embarrassment.
"Sorry Keith," Karrie, Kellyn, and Kate replied.
"I forgot Keithy couldn't join conversations." replied Kiwi. Keith blushed from embarrassment from the nickname while Karrie glared at her sister.
"Kellyn! Help!" shouted Ben while being chased by Sasha while Summer was running after Sasha while letting out some colorful insulting language.
"This is kind of new." said Kellyn while sweat dropping. "At least with Sasha chasing him and Summer using so much colorful language in a couple sentences parts." Ben hid behind Kellyn while Sasha bumped into Karrie and when Summer bumped into Sasha, all three fell down.
"What the heck? I'm not a speed bump!" exclaimed Karrie. Summer and Sasha got off of Karrie, apologized and then started to hurl insults at each other.
"Um ladies, there is a 5 year-old present." said Kellyn while holding Kiwi who was going wide eyed at all the foul language. Summer and Sasha were unfortunately yelling to loud to hear Kellyn.
"THERE IS A 5 YEAR OLD PRESENT! WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE!" yelled Keith. Sasha and Summer stopped and then looked over at Kellyn to see that he was holding a 5 year-old girl.
"Sorry." replied Summer and Sasha.
"Kellyn, I've been looking everywhere for you!" exclaimed Sasha as she took Kiwi out of Kellyn's arms and gave her to Kate. She went to hug Kellyn but Kellyn tried to back away but was not able to because Ben was still behind him.
"Um." said Kellyn nervously while frantically looking at Kate, then Karrie, then Summer, and then Keith for way out.
"Um, excuse me? What do you think you're doing?" asked Kate.
"I'm going to hug and kiss him, what does it look like I'm doing?" replied Sasha.
"Oh I don't think so." replied Kate. "That's MY boy, girl!" Kiwi scrambled to get out of Kate's arms to prevent any damage to be done to her own well being and fell but was saved by Munchlax who used its belly to soften her fall. Sasha stopped and turned to Kate.
"Excuse me?" asked Sasha.
"Kellyn's MY boyfriend." replied Kate. "And there is no way I'm ever going to let you even attempt to try to steal MY boyfriend!"
"Fine, I just wanted to make Ben jealous anyways." said Sasha with a snort.
Um, I think I'm officially scared of Kate now. Said Karrie. At least scared of the angry Kate.
"Maybe you need to change your tactics, because obviously its not working!" replied Kate.
"Kate's right." said Ben nervously and quietly.
"I think you scare him away too much." said Keith.
"I don't like you." said Kiwi while trying to stare Sasha down as best as a 5 year-old could to a 16-17 year-old.
"I don't really care, little girl." replied Sasha.
"That's a problem, 'cause I'm his sister and so is Karrie." said Kiwi as she pointed to Karrie who did not like having the attention brought to her at all.
"Okay then, little 'princess.'" replied Sasha and then she looked at Karrie. "You do look like Kellyn."
"Okay, now shoo!" said Kiwi while attempting to shoo Sasha away.
"Hey Kellyn, who's the red head hottie?" asked Sasha as she eyed Keith.
"That is Keith." replied Kellyn. Sasha started to walk over to Keith but Karrie stepped in the way.
"Oh, don't tell me we have another jealous female here." said Sasha. Karrie glared at Sasha while a blush started to creep up on her face. "No fun, no fun at all." Sasha turned around and started to leave. "This is boring, so I'm leaving." With that, Sasha left.
"Thank you guys." said Ben.
"Thanks Kate." said Kellyn.
"No problem," replied Kate while blushing.
"Um, thanks Karrie, for making sure she didn't try to do anything to me." said Keith.
"Your welcome." replied Karrie while looking away and blushing.
"I'm sorry that I didn't notice the 5 year-old at first." said Summer.
"You were too busy yelling at that bad girl, it's alright." replied Kiwi making everyone laugh a little. "I'm Kiwi, Kellyn and Karrie's little sister!"
"I'm Summer, and the boy is Ben." said Summer with a smile.
"Nice to meet you both!" replied Kiwi.
"Hey! We heard yelling! Are guys alright?" asked Laurie and Rhythmi who were running towards them with Todd and Isaac behind them.
"We're okay!" replied Kate.
"Aw, who's the adorable little girl?" asked Rhythmi when she saw Kiwi.
"I'm Kiwi!" replied Kiwi.
"She's our baby sister." replied Kellyn and Karrie.
"She's so cute! Can I hold her?" asked Rhythmi. Kellyn and Karrie looked at Kiwi.
"Sure!" replied Kiwi and Rhythmi scooped her up.
"HEY! Kellyn!" yelled Lyra as she ran to them. "Blue wants to challenge you to something!"
"Aw, I was hoping Blue wouldn't." replied Kellyn.
"She said to meet her over by the lake!" said Lyra.
"Alright," replied Kellyn.
"Oh, and she said to bring your friends just in case they want to join the challenge!" said Lyra.
"Okay," replied Kellyn.
"Let's go!" said Kiwi while pointing in a direction.
"Um, Kiwi, the lake is past the training fields which is in THAT direction." replied Karrie while pointing in a different direction.
"Oops." said Kiwi. "Alright, let's go!" This time Kiwi pointed in the right direction and the group went off to the training fields to get to the lake and were accompanied by Lyra.
"You're coming too?" asked Kellyn.
"Yep!" replied Lyra. Suddenly, a fail of a Draco Meteor was coming down at them but only Kellyn and Karrie noticed at first. The two pulled Kate and Keith out of the way, then everyone but Ben noticed and got of the way. By the time Ben noticed, he was frantically running back and forth but the meteor kept following him and eventually hit him.
"Ow." said Ben. Starly laughed at him. "Shut up." Emolga started laughing along with Munchlax. Pachirisu soon gave into laughter. "Shut up!" Everyone started to laugh.
"Hey! I'm sorry about that! Did anyone get hurt?" asked Garnet who was running to them with a Gible at his side.
"Garnet!" exclaimed Karrie.
"I got hit." said Ben. "And now I've got a bunch of pokemon laughing at me."
"I'm sorry, that Draco Meteor was Gara's. Gara's my Gible and we've been trying to get that move down correctly, but we still have a lot more work to do." said Garnet while scratching his head. Karrie knelt down and started to pet the Gible.
"It's cute, when did you get a Gible anyways?" asked Karrie.
"It hatched from an egg about a year ago." replied Garnet. "We're training so we can beat Topaz in our next battle."
"Topaz?" asked Karrie. "I hope you're referring to a girl."
"Yeah," replied Garnet while a faint blush started to appear on his face.
"It might help if your Gible has another pokemon to show it how to perform Draco Meteor properly." suggested Isaac. Garnet nodded.
"That's why Moon said she'd help." replied Garnet.
"I don't recall Moon having any pokemon that could use Draco Meteor." said Karrie.
"Moon doesn't, but Nathan has a Lucario, a Skarmory, a Houndour, and I think he's got a Dratini now." replied Garnet. "Nathan's a friend, an arrogant and somewhat annoying friend, but a friend, Topaz is a friend to."
"Topaz is the little sister of Crystal and Marina. Gold and Jimmy have crushes on Crystal and Marina." said Lyra randomly.
"That wasn't random at all." replied Summer while sweat dropping.
"Garnet! Sorry, I got lost for a while!" said Moon as she ran out from the woods with a taller boy with brown hair and brown eyes. "I found Nathan, well, actually, its more like he found me." Garnet sweat dropped with everyone else.
"Moon, is that your boyfriend?" asked Karrie and Kiwi at the same time. Moon turned bright red and the boy next to her, who was Nathan, blushed and looked away in a bad attempt at hiding the blush.
"N-N-No! Nathan's a friend! Just a friend! Why would you think he's my boyfriend?" Moon frantically replied.
"Oh yeah, that reminds me, Blue invited Crystal, Marina, and Topaz over." said Lyra.
"How the heck does Karrie and Kiwi asking Moon if the guy is her boyfriend remind you that?" asked Kellyn.
"I don't know," replied Lyra. "Maybe because Garnet likes Topaz, Gold likes Crystal, and Jimmy likes Marina which connects to Moon liking Nathan."
"LYRA!" yelled Moon and Garnet who were both bright red.
"Why does this whole denial thing remind me of a certain two people?" asked Laurie and everyone but Moon, Karrie, Keith, Garnet, Lyra, Kiwi, and Nathan looked at Karrie and Keith, causing Karrie and Keith to start blushing, then Moon, Garnet, Lyra, Kiwi, and Nathan looked at Keith and Karrie.
"You-hew!" shouted Blue as she came over. "Kellyn, are you coming or what? Oh, and Garnet, Topaz is here!" Garnet blushed at the extra information.
"The challenge, I almost forgot." replied Kellyn and then he ran over with everyone but Garnet, Moon, and Nathan.
"Okay, you should know my challenge has to do with art." said Blue.
"I figured as much." replied Kellyn.
"We'll be competing to see who can create the best artwork!" said Blue. "First we will paint and draw what we see looking out upon the beautiful lake! Then we shall create 3 portraits of pokemon each! Then we will draw a portrait of a person! Then we will design one outfit! Then we will go over to make sculptures!"
"Is the designing an outfit really necessary?" asked Kellyn.
"Yes!" replied Blue. "Crystal, Marina, Topaz, Caitlin, and Roxanne will be the judges!"
"Shouldn't there be at least one male judge?" asked Rhythmi.
"Bruno said no, Red can't even draw well himself, I don't trust Gold or Jimmy, Garnet's busy, Nathan would just say no, and..." replied Blue.
"It's alright," interrupted Kellyn.
"Okay, who wants to join us?" asked Blue. Only Rhythmi, Kiwi, Keith, Kate, Laurie, and Lyra raised their hands. "Karrie, raise that hand, you're going to participate." Karrie sighed and reluctantly raised her hand. "Okay, boys, you have to participate to make the boy to girl ratio balance out more. The brunette girl will participate as well so you won't feel left out. I'll go and grab two boys." Summer crossed her arms and pouted a little. "Jimmy, Gold, Red, Bruno, or Kenny?"
"Pesky girl, what you up to this time?" asked a boy with spiky brown hair and green eyes followed by three blondes and two red heads.
"Green! Just in time! You can participate too!" exclaimed Blue. "I've challenged my cousin Kellyn to an art challenge and am having his friends enter too!"
"I think I'll go wander around." replied the red heads and one of the blondes and they left.
"Hey! Wait for me!" shouted another blonde and the blonde chased after the three strangers that had left.
"Okay, so that leaves Green and Yellow!" exclaimed Blue. Kenny then came running. "And here's Kenny, okay, we're all set!"
I don't want to draw! Protested Karrie.
I don't care. Replied Blue.
"Don't you think that there's a lot of people?" asked Kellyn.
"Fine, Kenny, please escort Yellow and Green over to Red." replied Blue. Kenny obediently led Green and Yellow away. "Now let's start!" With that, the art challenge began! Each person was assigned their own art easel and the began to paint the scenery, or at least attempt to. When everyone was done, they revealed their paintings to everyone else to see. Blue's, Kellyn's, Lyra's, Keith's, Kate's, Laurie's, Rythmi's, and Isaac's were great. Ben's, Todd's, and Summer's were okay. Kiwi's looked decent considering her age while Karrie's looked like an elementary school student painted it.
"Kellyn, you're a great artist!" exclaimed Kate. Kellyn smiled.
"Wow, I never knew you were an artist, Keith." commented Karrie. Keith looked at Karrie's picture and sweat dropped as tried to figure out what he could say that was positive but wasn't lying.
"Your picture is very interesting." said Keith and Karrie blushed.
"No need to bother trying to praise her artwork, we all know she sucks at drawing." replied Kiwi.
"Why you little-!" started Karrie in anger as she threaten to strangle her little sister.
"Your picture is much better than Kiwi's!" said Kate trying to get Karrie to stop and not strangle her sister. Karrie stopped and looked at her.
"Yeah, but that isn't much of an accomplishment!" replied Karrie.
"Alright, now to create portraits of pokemon!" said Blue and so they began to sketch pokemon. Karrie drew Emolga, Munchlax, and Pachirisu which turned out a whole lot better than the paintings. Everyone commented on each others' work and then it was time to draw a portrait of a person. It was at this time Blue let Karrie, Summer, Todd, and Isaac of the hook with the only limit as in they had to stay in the area which they agreed to. Little did they know that it was part of a plan Blue had. Blue drew Kiwi, Kiwi tried to draw Blue. Kellyn let Kate draw him before drawing her. Karrie, who was sitting under a tree, had no clue that Keith decided to draw a portrait of her. Ben hid in bushes while he drew a portrait of Summer picking flowers. Laurie made Todd sit still and let her draw him while Rhythmi made Isaac do the same thing. Blue then called everyone over. "Alright, who did you draw? I drew Kiwi." Blue showed a great portrait of Kiwi that was almost like a photo.
"I drew you, Blue!" replied Kiwi while she showed a stick figure that faintly resembled Blue.
"I drew Kellyn." replied Kate who did a decent job at drawing Kellyn's face.
"I drew Todd!" replied Laurie who did an okay job at drawing her boyfriend.
"I drew Isaac!" replied Rhythmi who's work was similar to Laurie's.
"I drew Kate." replied Kellyn and he showed an amazing portrait of Kate.
"So, that leaves Ben and Keith." said Blue and they all looked at the two boys who started to blush.
"I-I, um," they started and then they just showed their portraits. Ben's was a great portrait of Summer that showed a sweeter side of her that does not show often while Keith's was a great portrait of Karrie that showed her relaxing under the tree. Summer and Karrie could not believe their eyes.
"You drew me?" Summer and Karrie asked.
"Yeah," replied Keith and Ben.
"Aw, how sweet!" exclaimed Blue.
"Are you done with this 'art challenge' of yours Blue?" asked a teenager with dark blue hair who was with a girl who looked exactly like except with light blue hair and a younger girl with dark blue hair but a different hairstyle and outfit.
"I guess we can skip the sculptures and the outfit designs." replied Blue. "Sure! Why not?"
"You and Kellyn tie again, Blue." said Caitlin.
"Aw!" replied Blue while Kellyn just shrugged.
"How did you guys judge so fast?" asked Kate.
"We only focused on Blue's and Kellyn's artwork." replied Roxanne. "Plus its fairly simple. Although I still think Kellyn should have won."
"I think both of them were great!" said the girl with the light blue hair and the shorter blunette.
"Who are you anyways?" asked Kellyn.
"I'm Marina." said the girl with the light blue hair.
"I'm Crystal." said the girl with the navy blue hair.
"I'm Topaz!" said the shorter girl.
"Oh, okay." replied Kellyn.
"The girls Lyra and Garnet were talking about." said Karrie.
"The ones that Lyra said that Gold, Jimmy, and Garnet liked?" asked Keith.
"Yeah!" replied Karrie. Marina, Crystal, and Topaz blush slightly.
"Now let's go get some lunch and have a picnic!" said Blue. "Red, Green, Yellow, Gold, Jimmy, Kenny, Garnet, Moon, and Nathan will join us! And Silver, Hannah, Sarah, and Nick! Oh, that reminds me, is Dawn here yet?"
"I'm here!" said a blunette who just got to the scene.
"Alright! Now Lyra, get the people who aren't here that I have listed, you two Kiwi. Karrie, Kellyn, Keith, and Kate, you four go get a couple of picnic blankets. Summer, Laurie, Crystal, and Rhtyhmi, come with me to get the food into picnic baskets and to get them all here." said Blue. "The rest, go over by the large fountain and stay there."
"Okay," replied everyone and they each went were they were assigned to go.
~end of chapter~
Kellyn: I knew it
Keith: so one of her weaknesses is that she can't draw?
Karrie: yes...
Me: yep!
