Chapter 2
"No," Ashleigh replied. "I think I can help turn you into a boy."
Summer looked at her friend in disbelief.
"What?!" Summer exclaimed.
"Just cut your hair, get you some binding for the future when you start developing your more feminine parts," Ashleigh said as she gestured towards were her breasts were which were barely existent on Summer. "Change your clothes and you do the rest. We'll turn you into Sam Layton, Kaleb's cousin."
"I like this idea," Summer replied.
"And I know just the celebrities to help us out with everything," Ashleigh said.
"Who?" Summer asked.
"Teah the superstar and Hannah the Johto Champion," Ashleigh replied with a glint in her eyes.
"SUMMER! KALEB! ASHLEIGH! DINNER!" Mrs. Layton yelled.
"COMING!" Summer and Kaleb replied.
"We'll discuss this later." Ashleigh said and they scrambled to get out before Kaleb which caused Ashleigh to run straight into Summer's brother's chest. Summer chuckled before running off ahead. "Eh? S-Sorry." Ashleigh's face was painted red, but Kaleb's cheeks were painted pink.
"It's alright," Kaleb replied as his arms held her.
"HEY ROMEO AND JULIET! DINNER'S GOING TO GET COLD!" Mrs. Layton yelled before giggling with her daughter. The two brown haired teens turned bright red. Kaleb let go of Ashleigh and they both sprinted down to the dining room.
"So, anything juicy happen in that short time?" Summer asked her brother as she passed him the plate of corn.
"No," Kaleb replied as his cheeks became painted with light pink dust.
"Thank you Mrs. Layton for letting me stay here for the night," Ashleigh said with a smile.
"It's my pleasure to have you here," Mrs. Layton replied with a bigger smile.
"So how long are you staying at our house?" Kaleb asked and Ashleigh shrugged.
"I'm not sure," Ashleigh replied. "I'm planning on going out and looking at the houses available around here." Kaleb raised his eyebrow as if to question where she was going with what she was saying.
"And why's that?" Kaleb asked. "Need a vacation home?"
"No," Ashleigh replied as she shook her head. "I need a place to settle down and plant some roots."
"You're moving to Almia?!" Mrs. Layton exclaimed and Ashleigh nodded.
"That's the plan, worst case scenario is that I move to Oblivia or Fiore. I really hope I can find a place in this region." Ashleigh replied with a smile.
"Why settle now?" Kaleb asked.
"Because I'm ready to now and constantly moving from region to region is exhausting, and my hearts been aching to find a place to call home," Ashleigh replied. "I can't see myself settling in my hometown, but I love it here in Almia, I've always have."
"I can help pull a list out of houses for sale in the area," Mrs. Layton said.
"No need, but thank you for the offer," Ashleigh replied. "Summer and Karrie have requested that I bring them along to look at some houses I've been looking at online."
"So you've been planning this a long time," Kaleb said.
"Yeah," Ashleigh replied.
"I'll stop by to see how the house shopping is going in the afternoon then," Kaleb said and Ashleigh nodded.
"Maybe you two can go out to lunch or dinner together," Summer said causing the two older kids to turn bright red.
"That actually sounds nice," Ashleigh quietly admitted though they all heard her. Kaleb was surprised and Summer was grinning from ear to ear while her mother was trying not to squeal that Ashleigh liked her son.
"Then I suppose dinner wouldn't hurt," Kaleb replied as Summer and Mrs. Layton hi fived each other.
"So does that mean I can make the assumption that I'm going out to eat tomorrow?" Ashleigh asked Kaleb with her eyebrows raised.
"Yeah," Kaleb replied while blushing.
~the next day~
"Summer, wake up," Ashleigh said as she knocked on Summer's bedroom door, knowing Summer rarely woke up before 10 by herself.
"Hm?" Summer replied and Ashleigh opened the door and walked over to the sleeping brunette. She shook her and had to dodge being punched in the face as Summer woke up. "What?"
"Breakfast," Ashleigh said. "Kare's already here."
"Oh, why?" Summer asked.
"Shopping for houses and getting you a makeover so that you'll be able to get into the Ranger School." Ashleigh replied.
"Oh yeah," Summer exclaimed before getting dressed and heading for the stairs. Ashleigh followed her to the hallway but stopped for a moment at Kaleb's door before smiling and starting to continue to walk only to be hit in the face with the door which made Summer stopped for a moment.
"Owie," Ashleigh said as she rubbed her nose. Kaleb walked out in uniform without noticing her getting up from the floor.
"Are you that sleepy that you didn't notice you whacked your girl in the face with the door?" Summer asked. Kaleb turned with wide eyes to Ashleigh who was up from the floor rubbing her nose as if to make sure her nose wasn't bleeding.
"I'm fine, no blood and nothing broke," Ashleigh replied.
"I'm so sorry," Kaleb said.
"It's alright, you didn't mean to," Ashleigh replied.
"I still hit you with the door," Kaleb said.
"Then kiss the pain away Kaleb!" Summer replied. "I'm hungry!" Summer left a bright red duo of brown haired teens to go down stairs and eat her fill of pancakes and sausage with Karrie.
"Are you really here to stay?" Kaleb asked quietly.
"Yes, unless you'd rather me wander the regions longer," Ashleigh replied.
"Why now and not then?" Kaleb asked as he brushed her soft brown hair out her face.
"Because then I wasn't ready, there was so much I didn't do yet and I was scared," Ashleigh replied. "Now I'm ready, and I'm so sorry I kept running away from you and the truth."
"Apology accepted then," Kaleb said before kissing Ashleigh on the forehead. "I'll stop by around 3, but I'll call you when I'm on my way."
"Okay," Ashleigh replied. "We should probably go down and eat breakfast."
"Yeah," Kaleb said as he took hold of Ashleigh's hand. "Let's go then." They walked down the stairs and before they came in view of Mrs. Layton, Karrie, and Summer, Ashleigh withdrew her hand from his larger hand. Kaleb quickly recaptured it, surprising the brown haired blue eyed teen.
"B-But, y-you'll get teased," Ashleigh said.
"I don't care," Kaleb replied. "Besides, Mom might give off a high pitch scream when she's our hands together. She's been trying to find ways she can try to push me to go out with you and propose to you." Ashleigh blushed. "Though she doesn't know that I know she wants me to marry you and she doesn't know that I like you so she doesn't have to try to make me fall in love with you, a fine beautiful lady." Ashleigh turned bright red. "I'm glad you decided to stay this time." Kaleb hugged her, causing her face to flame red.
"Me too," Ashleigh replied before hugging him back.
~later~
Karrie, Ashleigh, and Summer walked up to a flat in Vientown after looking at a few house in Chicole Village. Ashleigh knocked on the door and the two young girls blinked at what she was doing.
"This is way fancy for a flat." Karrie said.
"I thought you liked the houses in Chicole Village." Summer said as the door opened.
"Ashleigh dear!" superstar and super model Teah exclaimed. The celebrity was stunning with her bouncy brown curls, beautiful blue eyes, and perfect figure. "Now which one of the girls am I transforming?"
"Transforming?" Karrie asked.
"Later, Summer will be transformed into a boy," Ashleigh explained.
"Cool," Karrie replied with a big grin. "At least one of us gets a shot at our dream." Summer smiled.
"Wait, I'm cutting her hair off and giving her masculine qualities?" Teah asked as she looked like she was about to faint.
"Just look at it this way," a redhead known as Shadow Warrior, the Johto Champion, and Hannah said as she came up behind the superstar. "You get to influence a change in this sexist region."
"Okay, I'll do it, for girl power," Teah said.
"Girl power," Karrie replied with a nod, liking the sound of it.
"I'll be taking care of all the legal things and paperwork for Sam Layton," Hannah said with a smile.
"Cool," Summer replied. "Thank you, all of you."
"You're welcome," the three older females replied with smiles, all glad to help the young girl accomplish her dream.
"You're transformation will begin when I'm out for dinner." Ashleigh said. "The details will be discussed and gone over while I'm away with Kaleb."
"Ooh, a date?" Teah asked and Ashleigh turned bright red.
"Oh shut up!" Ashleigh replied and Hannah chuckled.
"Well, go on with looking at houses, Almia's a peaceful region, a good place to settle down in," Hannah said.
"Yeah, a good place to settle down with a man and start a family with cute little babies," Teah added causing Ashleigh to turn red again.
"Teah!" Ashleigh exclaimed.
"What? It's true," Teah replied and Ashleigh rolled her eyes.
"Well, we'll be going off to look at more houses in Chicole Village." Ashleigh said.
"Why Chicole Village?" Hannah asked.
"Because I'd be able to get the most room for a place to keep all my Pokemon pals," Ashleigh replied with a smile. Summer smiled knowing it wasn't Ashleigh's only reason for looking into moving to Chicole Village, her brother had a lot to do with it, which made it kind of cute in a way.
~with Kellyn~
Kellyn stood tall next to his next door neighbor and one of his best friends as they started to escort new and old Ranger students to their campus while their other friends escorted the Operator students and the Mechanic students. He couldn't help but sigh. He wondered how it was when the Ranger school was co-ed and was for Ranger students, Operator students, and Mechanic students. The individual schools supposedly brought more experienced and ready people into the workplace, but Kellyn was starting to wonder if that was true, or if it was a lie. Erma had been throwing hints that things weren't always like this and the fact that he had been responsible for crushing his sister's dream of becoming a Ranger had been weighing heavily on his shoulders. Maybe his best friend who was also the Mechanic he'd always go to if he had a choice whenever he needed something done could help him and give him some advice.
Kate Milton was a beauty and very smart and skilled. She had sacrificed her dream of becoming a Ranger by becoming a Mechanic, but she was able to become one of the special few that was allowed to use a Capture Styler and she used it with great skill despite not having any formal training. Based on Kate, Kellyn didn't blame Kaleb for pushing Summer to enroll in Mechanic School instead of Trainer School. It was too bad that Summer was too stubborn to really compromise.
Kellyn looked at the group of boys he was leading. Why did he have to do this?
Right, because boys tend to get into trouble along the way and once students were attacked supposedly before the welcoming ceremony could start.
One boy caught his eye though. This boy had ridiculous brown hair that defied gravity accompanied by brown eyes who had a loud excited voice that was starting to become obnoxious. Too bad Kellyn would risk getting in trouble if he told the boy to shut up, but the excitement from the boy somehow lightened the mood. The boy had an aura that calmed everyone around him so the ones that would normally be crying and wanting their mommies wouldn't cry which meant a happier crowd. Kellyn smiled, glad the boy wanted to become a Ranger and that Kaleb didn't get to escort him. Kaleb would have wanted to take off his head by now.
"Hey mister, what's your name?" the boy asked.
"Kellyn, Kellyn Chandler," Kellyn replied with a smile.
"Are you a momma's boy?" a taller black haired boy asked and Kellyn frowned.
"It doesn't matter if I am or I'm not," Kellyn replied. "Mothers brought you into the world and they can take you out of it." That shut the black haired kid up, thankfully.
"I'm Benjamin Kennedy, but you can call me Ben," the boy said and Kellyn nodded. "The other kid is Tyler Mason, he's a bit of a jerk, but don't mind him." Kellyn nodded again. "Have you heard that some popular chicks from the Trainer regions are in Almia?" Kellyn hesitated, wondering if Ashleigh counted.
"No," Kellyn replied, to hopefully learn who he meant by 'popular chicks.'
"Teah Cortell, Hannah Barclay, Ashleigh Reynolds, and Sarah Azarola," Ben said and Kellyn almost choked on air. Ashleigh was famous?! "What is it?"
"I know Ashleigh Reynolds," Kellyn replied. "She's friends with my sister and is staying next door to me."
"You lucky ducklett!" Ben exclaimed. "She's the youngest out of the four and is most definitely cute." Yeah, it's a VERY good thing Kaleb was leading a different group.
"I'd be careful saying that around a certain Top Ranger I know, he may want to strangle you." Kellyn warned the boy.
"What about the two rumored tomboy beauties of Chicole Village? Are they available?" Ben asked.
"Why do insist on trying to hook up with girls I know?" Kellyn asked.
"Summer Layton and Karrie Chandler, the two rumored beauties of the village," Tyler said and Kellyn glared at the boys for trying to ask him if his sister and his sister's best friend were available.
"Karrie's my sister and Summer's her best friends," Kellyn replied. "Hit on them and either they will hurt you or I will hurt you for them. Got it?"
"Y-Yes sir!" the boys replied.
"Just one question, is Karrie going to be an Operator?" Tyler asked and Kellyn sighed.
"Yes and she can and will kick you're butt so don't ever try to hit on her, it won't end well for you." Kellyn replied.
"Fine," Tyler replied before pouting.
Ben: YES! I'm in the story!
Kellyn: lately, I've been getting the short end of the stick, haven't I?
Me: well, Keith is all wrong for the position and Kaleb would have murdered Ben and Tyler.
Kellyn: and my mother almost choking me to death?
Me: wanted to give your mom more of a personality?
Kellyn: T.T fine
Summer: I get to be turned to a boy by professionals =D
Karrie: and I'm one of the few who know about it!
Kaleb: know about what?
Me: you'll figure it out, you're going to be the first outsider to figure it out
Hannah: hey! don't spoil it!
Me: what? It's obvious he's going to figure out, he's her brother and he has a date with the instigator of this!
Hannah: fine =(
Nick: I protest to Hannah and Sarah being fawned over by young boys
Me: I hear you, but you can't stop them, well you could stop Ben, but that's about it.
Nick: Ben, never fawn over them again
Ben: Eep! Yes sir!
Keith: Now, lovely viewers, please review =D
