Gary, who was right behind Misty and Ash, jumped up from his seat.
"Ash, are you serious?" Gary asked.
Misty stood up and glared at him. "What's the matter? Jealous that Ash got me?"
Gary raised an eyebrow at her. "I barley know you! Why should I be jealous?"
Misty crossed her arms. "Then what? You know, why don't you leave Ash alone! You aren't the boss of him-"
Gary interrupted her, "listen, I'm just looking out for my friend, alright?"
"Well he doesn't need you to! Right Ash?"
Ash looked up at them and said, "Y-yeah..."
The bus driver glared at them through his rear-view mirror and shouted, "Would you kids stop stop shouting, or do you want to get into a wreck! Shit..."
Gary and Misty both sat down and Ash looked to the floor. Gary can see Ash doesn't seem interested in her. It was pretty surprising to him that Misty couldn't see that. Ursula, who was right beside him holding a book, looked up at him with a grin.
"See, I told you," Ursula whispered.
Gary crossed his arms and looked out the window. "Whatever, they'll be he broken up before long ether way. Go ahead and 'ruin' it."
Ursula just glared at him with an un-pleased look, while he continued to look out the window.
Ursula stormed off the bus and was about to go meet up with Harley, Jessie, James, and Meowth. But before he could get to them he was stopped by Drew.
"I don't know who you are or what the hell you're problem is, but you aren't getting away with what you did!" Drew shouted.
"H-Hey, what do you mean? You wouldn't hurt an innocent girl like me would you?"
He slowly approached her. "I'd be fine with hurting an 'innocent girl' like yourself."
Ursula backed up as he got closer. "You're only going to make yourself look worse!"
"Doesn't bother me..."
Red doesn't know what to think about all that had happened today. At lunch, a guy was being accused of being a big player. Though right now he's a bit unsure the point of this. But he guesses he'd just have to stick through it. As he was sitting on the grass looking at the sky, Leaf appeared beside him.
"It's nice day out today, isn't it?" Leaf asked.
Red nodded but didn't look at her.
"A lot has happened today, hasn't it?"
"Yeah."
Leaf sat down beside him. "It's nice to see you again, you know? Remember when we token down team Rocket together?"
Red frowned and nodded.
"Well, I enjoyed working together as a team, taking them down." Leaf turned to him. "Didn't you feel the same?"
Red smiled a bit and said, "Yeah."
She beamed at him. "Well, maybe we can team up again sometime! And when we graduate, we can train together and you won't have to go back to the mountains!"
Red looked at her and thought about it before he said, "Sounds good to me!"
Leaf gave him a big hug and he blushed a bit.
"So... Can you do something for me?" Red asked.
Leaf let go of him and said, "Of course! What is it, Red?"
"Well, I... want to make it up to Blue. You know, for what I did."
"Hmm... Well, it might take awhile, but I'm sure we can think of something!"
Jessie, James, Meowth, and Harley are at their meet up place waiting for Ursula to arrive.
"What a total success! We got everything accomplished today!" Harley shouted.
Meowth nodded and said, "yeah we all make a pretty good team. I think we need some kinda name for ourselves! Maybe we keep messin around with twerps!"
Harley gasped and clasped his hands together. "Yes, what a great idea! I mean, school would be so dull and uneventful if we separate and leave things as they are!"
Jessie laughed and agreed. But James looked down and away with a frown.
"I donno... I mean, that May girl was so nice and sweet to me. I feel like I could easy talk to her an-"
"James! Don't go soft on us now!" Jessie snapped.
"Yeah, did you forget that she only talked to ya cause you were in disguise? If you weren't she wouldn't care give you the time of day!" Meowth said.
"T-That's true..." James sighed a bit and crossed his arms. "Aright, I'm in too!"
"I also liked the idea of names. But were is that Ursula girl?" Harley asked. "She was with us on the bus..."
Jessie, James, and Meowth agreed and now started to wonder that as well. Then Harley got a text. He took a look at it and laughed a bit.
"Huh, well looks like she got held up a bit... Though she's on her way now."
Not long after, Ursula appeared fuming. She also had a swollen eye, mouth bleeding, and bruises everywhere.
"This is all your fault! I had to help you with you're stupid revenge thing and I could have just done my own thing! I should have! You better do something about this! Get me with Gary this instant!" Ursula shouted.
"All right, all right! Will figure something out. Though really, you should take of yourself now. We'll figure out how to convince Gary to get with you."
She huffed. "Good! You better! Like I'm ever doing anything for you ever again!" Ursula then left.
Harley sighed. "Looks like we are out one member now. She was great too. So bold and cunning. Oh well..."
"Well, I guess she wasn't smart enough to not get beaten up," Jessie said.
"Jessie, aren't you even a little worried that might happen to us?" James asked.
"Not at all! I'm sure with my beauty, he wouldn't even think of hurting me!"
They all starred at her with disgust.
"Or maybe he'll run away from yea in fear," Meowth muttered. "Anyways James, this is a great situation for learnin'. Since we have to be in disguise, we can just change into a different one if a situation like that one arises," Meowth said.
"Yes! You're right Meowth! Maybe we can convince Ursula to help us too if we let you goons- I mean guys and girl, do all that!" Harley said.
Jessie huffed and said, "I really don't think we need that brat, but I guess five heads are better than four."
Ash was looking forward to seeing Pikachu now. With all that has happened today, he needs his buddy to cheer him up. But before he could make it back to his room, Serena caught up to him.
"Hey Ash! I'm glad I was able to find you!" Serena said.
"Oh... Was there something you wanted to ask?" Ash asked.
Serena blushed a bit and looked away. "Well... Yeah. Um, do you have someone in mind? For the dance, I mean."
"Oh... Well, uh. Me and Misty, kinda got together just now on the bus. So we agreed, since we got together, to go together. To the dance" Ash looked away from her.
"... I see."
Even though Ash was looking away, he could hear the disappointment in her voice. But he still couldn't look at her.
"Well, see you later, I guess." Then Serena walked away. Ash looked at her with a sad look.
"What's so great about dating, or whatever..." Ash muttered. After she left, Ash continued to his dorm. Once he entered his room, Pikachu hopped off the bed and onto Ash's shoulder, and greeted him. Ash petted the rodent and sat on the bed.
"Great to see you too, buddy." Ash slowly laid back as Pikachu moved to stand by his head. Pikachu could tell something was on his mind, so he tilted his head and waited for him to speak.
"A lot has happened today. Figured out two friends have a crush on me, and am now going out with one of them, and the other..." As looked at the ceiling with a frown.
Pikachu could see that he was upset, and could guess what happened without him saying anything. Though he knew Ash, and wanted him not to be sad about it. So he nuzzled Ash's face in attempted to cheer him up. Ash laughed a little.
"You're a great pal, Pikachu!" Ash said. He then rolled over on his side to face Pikachu. "But I still just don't understand all this. I'm not sure... I don't understand their feelings."
Pikachu looked at him said to himself that's not surprising.
"But I... What should I do now, Pikachu?"
