Your Driving Me Insane! (PG-13)

[Rider]

This is based on certain gym leaders and they're journey around Johto, and how they're all driving each other insane! ^^ Here's a warning for the coupling.

DrakexWinona (Drake, as in, orange islands, not elite 4)
WhitneyxMorty (deal with it)
JasminexFalkner (who else?)
FlanneryxRudy(can't see her with anybody but him)
I hate yaoi and yuri. so, naturally, theres no yaoi or yuri.

Drake-14 Winona-13 Morty-12 Rudy-12 Whitney-12 Flannery-11 Jasmine-11 Falkner-11

Okay, this story sorta revolves around another story, but not really. You’ll get it even if you don’t read the first one. Anyway, I may have changed the personalities around, because I haven’t bothered to watch the orange league, and it’s been a loooooong time since the Johto. Anyway, to clear things up,

Rudy-annoying snobbish boy

Drake-Sarcastic more experienced kid

Morty-Calm guy who’s just there…

Whitney & Flannery-Happy-go-lucky easily irritated duo

Winona-The responsible keep in check of the group

Jasmine-Kind and thoughtful of thine group

Falkner-Baby who’s afraid of everything.

There are couples in this, they’re not hard to spot, but I’m not sure if they’ll actually really happen.

Please go easy on me! This is my first fanfiction, and I’m sorta lazy, so some of the punctuation may be missing or something, but it’s still readable…I hope… Anyway, my spell checker also sometimes misses some stuff, so, there’ll probably be a lot of errors. (augh, better put this up before I change my mind again!)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I dunno, don’t you think it might be…” Falkner paused “well, dangerous to go in the grass?”

Flannery looked at him like he was crazy. “How else do you expect us to catch pokemon?”

“Well, maybe they’d walk onto the sidewalk, or mayb-woah!” He was cut short as Whitney came plowing through and grabbed his arm.

“Come on Cream Puff, live it up!” She said dragging him into the grass, followed by Jasmine, Flannery, Winona, Rudy, Drake and Morty.

“Yeah Falkner, if anything happens you’ve got 7 people behind your back.” Morty said to a stiff Falkner.

“Morty’s right Falkner, you worry too much!” Flannery said cheerfully.

“Okay, I guess so.” Falkner replied quite the opposite of Flannery at the moment.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, that was the super short prolouge (sp?) and the next chapter is coming now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Chapter 1-

“Wow that was boring.” Falkner said sitting down on a bench.

“Only because you were whining the whole time and scared off the pokemon!” Whitney snapped.

“Lay off Whitney!” I snapped back.

“But it’s his fault!” Whitney whined.

“Now look who’s whining.” I grumbled.

“Honestly Whitney, every time you open your mouth it gives me a headache.” Drake said putting a hand to his forehead.

Being the second oldest isn’t an easy job! Especially since the oldest doesn’t give a crap about what we do! At least Jasmine and Morty have some sense in them, but what with Rudy’s pranks, and Flannery’s clumsiness, and high-matinence Whitney, this journey wasn’t going too well. Then there was Falkner, who was afraid of just about everything, and Drake. Drake was the mysterious, and oldest of the group, who almost nobody knew anything about! And then he liked to add oil to arguments and comments to either make the fight louder and angrier, or just start it. She sighed.

“Something wrong Winona?” Jasmine asked.

“No, it’s just these guys wear me out.” I replied.

“We should go find a pokemon center. It’s about time we turn in.” Morty said checking his watch.

“No way! The night is still young, and so are we!” Flannery and Whitney said in unison, giggling.

Drake rolled his eyes.

This was their inside joke, which we all knew about. They loved making fun of their grandparents, who were always crazy about staying up late, and they would always say that the night was still young and so were they. But I knew their grandparents and I knew exactly what to say back.

“Yeah, if you’re so young, then it’s past your bedtime. Let’s move!” I said ushering them back onto the road.

“That was a good one Winona!” Flannery said

“We should keep that in mind” Whitney remarked to Flannery.

Two peapods in a shell was the best description for the two. Inseparable, and really whacked. They did everything together, and never fought. They loved creating chaos, and making fun of people. The chaos twins they called themselves. How immature. I thought it’d be a miracle if they ever did something with their lives. I felt sorry for the people hiring them.

Then, there was Morty and Falkner. Thank goodness Morty knew all of Falkners fears, because he told us that Falkners less afraid when he’s up in the air, or in high places. Strange enough…anyway, those two are best friends too. We’ve got four pairs of best friends in our group of eight. Morty and Falkner we’re pretty cool. At least they didn’t cause as much trouble as Whitney and Flannery.

Now, I could thank Drake over and over for agreeing to come along. He keeps Rudy in check. Rudy practically hero-worshipped him. No, not practically, he did worship him. Drake’s really good when it comes to pokemon. He’s got the strongest of all of us. A rare Dratini, a powerful electabuzz, a kick-*** bulbasaur, and a ghastly as mysterious as himself, to top it off. I guess Rudy did have a good reason to hero worship him. He was cool, smooth, and even had a knack for getting everyone to believe him, even if it was the most outrageous of stories. And, he was mysterious. A quality Rudy wants. Yeah right. In a million years maybe. Too bad we won’t be around then.

Jasmine and I were definitely best friends. We both controlled the chaos that Rudy, Flannery, and Whitney caused. Drake controlled Rudy, but only if he felt like it, which wasn’t often, and didn’t help. But, Jasmine and I find that knowing that at the end of solving the daily argument, which was usually between Rudy and Whitney, or Flannery and Falkner, it feels pretty good knowing that everything is quiet because of you.

“Hey,” Drake cut into my thoughts, “Jasmine’s talkin’ to you.”

“Huh?” I said, “Oh, sorry what? I was just thinking.”

“That’s a first.” Rudy joked.

“At least I’ve got a head start.” I snapped back. Rudy stopped walking and took a minute to figure the comment out.

“Heey…I think! I think a lot! How else do I come up with my ingenious pranks?” Rudy said indignantly

“By looking them up in your prank book.” I said matter-of-factly.

“Shut up!” Rudy said, while every laughed.

“Well, I think we all learned a lesson today!” Whitney said.

“What? That Rudy can’t think properly so he has to look it up in a book?” Flannery asked, giggling.

“Nope, but I think we learned that too.” Whitney said laughing.

“So what did we learn?” Falkner asked skeptically.

“Never pick a fight with Winona. She always wins.” Whitney exclaimed.

“I could bet against that. Remember the last battle I had with her? I won. That qualifies as a fight right?” Drake said.

“He got you there Winona.” Morty said.

“I think she means a verbal war Drake. But you’re too caught up in yourself to realize that I beat you in a battle too.” I said annoyed.

“I thought we were talking about how you always win, but you don’t because I beat you that time.” Drake replied.

“That once.” I said back too him. “That once.”

“Out of two times, let’s not forget.” He said, stopping for the sliding doors. (I know there’s no pokemon center in NewBark, live with it.)

“Two rooms please!” Jasmine said.

Nurse Joy looked at Drake, who was oldest, and since Jasmine, being one of the youngest, she needed reassurance before giving two rooms away. But I don’t think she knew Drake really was the oldest, but he was the tallest so I guess she assumed at that.

“Two rooms.” I said.

Second oldest seemed good enough for her, because she gave me two keys.

I tossed a key to Drake. Boy’s room, Girls room.

Aw man, I would've much rather preferred to let you guys figure it out, but oh well. It's not going to get super shippy for a long time, since they've gotta go all the way around Johto, and then Hoenn if I'm not twenty by then...I hope you don't have to ask for permission to make a thread. *_*; this is the first time i've made one and i'm sorta figety about it.

[Rider]

Sweet_May-Thank you! Your on the PM list. and I'll PM you for this chappie too, even though you've already read it.

-Drake-

I still don’t understand her problem with me. I mean, she doesn’t expect me to play a parent part does she? I mean, I’m me! She should try it out on Morty or something. At least he actually cares about what the others do. I certainly don’t. Unless Rudy’s buggin’ the hell outta me or something, I’d rather sit out. Or maybe if it’s Whitney or Flannery. They’re the most annoying people I’ve ever met! Falkner’s more like a shadow of Morty, who’s afraid of getting stepped on and crap like that. I probably wouldn’t even know Jasmine if she wasn’t Winona’s best friend. Speaking of Winona, I have no idea, but it’s so much fun to wind her up. To see her reaction to each insult I throw at her. It’s almost always different.

I caught the key Winona had flung at me easily. She was probably hoping I would drop it or something. She’s been really uptight lately. Oh well. Not my problem.

“Hey you guys, what are we doing tomorrow?” Rudy asked, mainly implied to me.

“I dunno” Winona pulled out a pokenav. “why don’t we take this route. From New Bark, to Cherry Grove, to Violet, to Azalea, to Goldenrod, and we’ll figure things out from there?” She suggested.

“Okay, it’s fine with me!” Jasmine piped.

Naturally.

“I’m going to bed, I’m tired, and I don’t really care where we’re going. I’ll find out tomorrow.” Whitney whined as she turned around, and bumped into the locked door.

“Wiinona!!!” Whitney complained.

“Alright alright, I’m coming.” Winona said, unlocking the door.

“I call top bunk!” Flannery called behind Whitney, running in behind her.

“Night guys.” Morty said.

“Good night.” Falkner walked in after Morty.

“Whatever” Rudy said slouching in after Falkner.

I just grunted to day good night to an undignified Winona who probably thought she deserved more than that.

“Good Night Falkner! Don’t let the bed bugs bite!” Flannery giggled.

“Nice try Flannery, I’m too tired to be worried about that.” Falkner called from inside the room.

“Come on Jasmine” Winona said.

I closed the door behind me. Obviously, everyone was already sleeping. I sighed as I took off my vest, and shoes. I hung my vest on the bedside post, and sat down on the bed. I knew that tonight would not be a sleeping night. That had to be the third fight I’d had with Winona. “I wonder why she hates me so much.” I mumbled too myself, throwing my feet onto the bed and pulling the covers over myself to try and force myself to sleep.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, I know, the shortest chapter of them all, but i really had nothing to say on Drakes behalf. the next one is longer...i think...*_*;

I really don't feel like finding the preview quote rite now, so if you must see it, check itout on Pokemon Paradise. *i kno, i'm lazy, but i'm not in the mood.*

Well, not much here, except the opening of the door.

It was funny anyway. I like random things, such as Whitney turning around and bumping into a door. XD

PM list addition over here! *waves*

Okay, sorry that was a pretty useless chapter, this FF is mainly rambling. ^^;

-Morty-
“Rise and Shine!”

I heard a lot of groaning. Probably from Falkner and Rudy.

“Come on Rudy wake up!”

Flannery.

“Morty?”

Whitney.

“What?” I groaned.

“It’s ten o’ clock!” She said shaking my shoulder.

I sat up, and blinked to a lot of light.

“I’ve never seen your hair so messy before!” She giggled.

I sighed. Everyone including myself knew she had the biggest crush on me. You could tell. How many days has it been since we met?

“Whatever, I got to get down Whitney.”

“Oh sorry, Flannery told me to come wake you up that’s all.” Whitney said apologetically and climbing down the ladder.

I climbed down to see all 4 girls in the room.

“How’d you guys get in here?” Rudy demanded.

“Easy!” Flannery said. “Nurse Joy had a spare key!”

Rudy groaned.

“Falkner?” Jasmine asked. “Are you awake?”

“How could I not be with all this noise?”

“Wake up Drake!”

There came a sharp cry after that.

“That hurt! I was awake anyway Winona!”

Apparently Winona hadn’t the decency to wake Drake up like every other girl did.

Apparently, she kicked him off the bed.

“Well, you certainly weren’t off your bed so get up and get movin!” She snapped.

Drake mumbled something under his breath.

“Don’t make me wash your mouth out with soap! You know I’d do it!” Winona slapped Drake on the back of the head.

“Ow! You wouldn’t be able to do it if you tried!” Drake said, holding the back of head in pain.

“Oh? Try me!” Winona snapped.

“Stop acting like our mom.” Rudy snapped back.

“At least I have common sense now get up!” She yelled.

“Calm down Winona, nobody’s going to wake up if you force them to.” I said calmly.

“You should’ve seen what she did to wake us up.” Whitney grumbled.

“What did she do?” I asked intrigued.

Whitney opened her mouth happily, probably because it was a question from me, but Flannery cut in.

“She hit the gong decoration in our room!!” Flannery whined.

“Jeez Winona, why’d you want us all to wake up so fast?” Rudy asked.

“Because, she wants to get to Cherry grove by tomorrow.” Jasmine said for her.

“Exactly, now come on!” Winona said yanking a stubborn Drake off to floor. “I didn’t get any sleep last night now let go!” He retorted.

“You should’ve gotten some sleep last night so it’s your fault!”

I put my hand to my forehead. I had such a bad headache from all the commotion so early in the morning.

We were all quiet for a second when we all heard light snoring.

“Falkner?” Jasmine asked looking back over the ladder.

“Winona you know Falkner’s not a morning person.” I said.

“Oh, alright, let’s set the goal date to get to cherry grove in a week, since that’s probably the minimum at this rate.” Winona snapped.

“There IS no rate at this point Winona!” Rudy practically cried.

“Fine! Go back to sleep, I’m going to go stock up supplies.” Winona grumbled.

“Sounds like we’re not the only one’s who need sleep Winona.” Jasmine said. “You should get some sleep too. I’ll go get the supplies.”

She crawled down the ladder.

“Thank you Winona, you’re a life saver!” Whitney cried hugging her.

“Yeah Yeah, only because you all teamed up and trampled all over me.” She grumbled turning back to the girl’s room.

Rudy groaned and got back into bed. Drake did the same, and fell asleep instantly.

I sighed.

“You okay Morty?” Whitney asked.

“I woke up for nothing.” I said climbing back up the ladder.

“Oh, sorry.” Whitney said walking over to the blinds and shutting out the light.

Sometimes, having Whitney have the biggest crush on you had it’s moments.

“Thanks Whit.” I said turning over.

Just great. Now I can’t get back to sleep. What with Rudy’s snoring, and Falkner randomly saying something, which was actually really funny. It must’ve been terrible for Whitney and Flannery to have to be woken up with a gong. But then again, I don’t think Flannery likes me very much. Due to the fact that Whitney probably never shuts up about me when they’re together. I don’t think Rudy likes me either. But, he doesn’t really like anyone. If they weren’t both from the orange islands, Rudy probably wouldn’t even like Drake. I don’t understand, why you should have to come, if you don’t even like it. I could bet you without even using tarot cards that Rudy’s going to get too much one day, get up and leave. At least Falkner’s always going to be here, as long as I’m here. And maybe Jasmine. I don’t get why he likes Jasmine so much. Maybe because she’s more like his mom than Winona is. Just, not a timid and freaked out. She’s really nice, but she only pays attention to the girls and Falkner. Not that I’m complaining. There’s not really anything interesting about her. I can’t say there’s anything interesting about any of the girls. Whitney blabbed it all out already, and Flannery’s just obviously smitten with Rudy…at some points…and Winona, is obviously milking Drake’s interest in her for all it’s worth.

I turned back over.

The snoring had stopped, thank goodness.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The beginning chapters sorta suck, and so does the main story but thats okay, because this is something I do in my spare/bored time.

 

[Sweet May]

kool chapters MiniMinun^_^............ loved them both............ can't wait for the next chappie^_^

 

[Xiang]

Yay, more humor!

Only you needed some more description, but I still knew what was going on!

Have a nice nap! ^^

 

[Rider]

lol, thanks, as for des. I dunno, there may be some more there may not be, I've already got it all written out, and only go back to check or re-do things if it has an effect of the part that i'm currently writing. anyway, here's the new chappie-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
‘Oh my god. He gave me a pet name!’(Whit) I thought trying to hold in my anticipation.

I walked out of the boys room, and back over to the girls, where Winona sat on her bed, her helmet off, and brushing her hair out. I sighed and laid on my bed. Flannery was already asleep.

‘I wish I was better at keeping my feelings to myself, like Drake, or Morty himself. I bet Morty’s really creeped out about me practically hero-worshipping him more than Rudy to Drake.’ I closed my eyes once again, and let myself drift.

+++

I opened my eyes and looked over to the blinding red neon lights.

12:30 PM.

I groaned and sat up. Winona was sleeping for once in her life, and so was Flannery. There was a shopping bag on the dresser, which I assumed was from Jasmine, who was also sleeping.

I got up and walked into the hallway. The boy’s door was closed. ‘I guess everyone’s asleep’ I thought walking into the nearly empty lounge.

Nearly.

“Hey Whitney.”

I jumped and spun around.

There he was. Staring at me as though I was crazy. Again.

He really didn’t think very high of me did he? And neither does Rudy, but he’s a bully, and Drake…I probably wouldn’t even know his name if Winona didn’t yell it so much. I probably would be a bully to Falkner too if he wasn’t Morty’s best friend, although sometimes I just can’t help but snap at him. At least Flannery knows how to laugh. The most I’ve heard Jasmine laugh is a reeally small giggle. Maybe she had problems with her family or something.

“Oh hi Morty, I didn’t see you there.” I said. If there was one thing I liked about myself, it was that I could keep my calm.

“Obviously” He said taking a sip from his cup.

“Is anyone else awake?” I asked.

“Umm, yeah, Falkner woke up a few minutes ago, but went back to sleep, but otherwise, I’m the only one up besides you.” Morty said leaning back in his chair.

“Oh…” I couldn’t think of anything better to say than ‘oh?!’ so much for keeping calm.

I guess we were only quiet for a few minutes, but it felt like an hour or so.

“You gonna sit down?” Morty finally asked.

“You never asked me to sit.” I replied.

“Well I just did.” He said.

“Honestly.” I said sitting down.

It was quiet again. I sighed and looked at my watch.

“It’s already 12:45, and everyone’s still asleep.” I said “Winona was right!”

“I think we should go wake everybody up, just so our sleep schedule doesn’t get all screwed up.” Morty said standing up.

“Yeah I agree.” I said following him down the hall.

I opened the door to the girl’s room, while Morty went into the boys.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since that was like, a reeeally short chappie, I'll get another one out.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Hey wake up Falkner!” I heard, but didn’t move.

“Falkner…its 12:45, wake up already.” Morty said jabbing me in the head.

“Ow, Morty!” I said sitting up and rubbing the side of my head.

“Honestly, that couldn’t have hurt.” Morty said climbing back down the ladder.

“I’m coming I’m coming.”

I heard a yelp as I missed the last step of the ladder and I came crashing down.

“Are you okay Falkner?”

Oh great, all the girls had to see me fall too.

I sat up and rubbed my head. AGAIN.

“Yeah I’m fine.”

I wondered who had asked me that out of all 4 girls. But then I realized only one would ask me that kind of question. Jasmine as always. I sighed and stood up.

“Jeez Falkner, Morty didn’t even have to wake me up you were so loud.” Rudy said yawning and stretching.

“Sorry Rudy.” I said sitting down on Drake’s bed.

“Ow!”

“Oh sorry Drake I didn’t know you were still on your bed.” I said apologetically to a very angry looking Drake.

“Obviously” He muttered and reached out for his vest.

“Hey, where’s my vest?” He asked.

“You’re really out of it today aren’t you?” Winona said holding out his vest practically in front of his face, demanding that we get going.

He snatched the vest away.

“You didn’t do anything to it did you?” Drake asked examining the vest.

Winona sighed. “No I didn’t. Let’s GO.”

“Hold on Winona, none of us are ready yet, including yourself.” Rudy said pulling on his own vest.

“What?” Winona asked, obviously oblivious to the fact that she was still wearing her pajama’s.

“You aren’t seriously going to go out wearing that are you?” Drake teased.

“No!” Winona said going red, turning around, and slamming the door.

Hmm. I couldn’t tell if she was embarassed or angry, but I guess she was mainly angry. But she always slams the doors. I guess we’ll never know.

+++

My legs were killing me! I swear, once we get to Cherry Grove I’m going to sit all day.

Not like Winona would let me of course.

I groaned.

“What now Falkner?” Whitney asked moodily.

Nothing Whitney. I’m just groaning because I’m happy my legs are falling off!

“Nothing you’d care of Whitney.” I snapped.

“Ooh Falkner’s cranky today!” Flannery chimed, and started to giggle along with Whitney.
Morty rolled his eyes, and Whitney stopped, along with Flannery.

“Thanks Morty.” I whispered.

“Hey, I didn’t do anything but strike a pose and roll my eyes.” He answered back sarcastically.

Looks like I wasn’t the only moody one today.

I guess I can’t blame him, since having Whitney obsessed with you is a pretty bad thing. She probably never shuts-up around him. We’ve known each other for like, 4 days, and I’m already sick of her. Not only her, but Flannery too, since Flannery’s just like her. Rudy and Drake wise-crack too much. Especially at Me and the Chaos Twins. It stinks! I can’t help it if I’ve never seen these things before. At least Winona makes them stop…sometimes. She’s almost like my mom, just she doesn’t have the safety issue. Jasmine’s probably the only friend I have apart from Morty. She’s really nice, but I can tell it gets on the others nerves a lot. What’s so bad about being nice?

“You guys really know how to make a guy in a good mood turn sour.” Rudy said clenching his fists.

“Aw, Whitney!!!” Flannery whined

“What Flannery?” Whitney asked stifling giggle.

“Looks like we’re the only happy ones today.”

“Or maybe yesterday.”

“Or the whole JOURNEY!” Flannery yelled at the 4 boys.

“Shut up Flannery.” Drake said his fingers in his ears.

“How RUDE!” Flannery said sarcastically.

“We should teach him a lesson in manners.” Whitney said nodding.

“Stop it you two.” Winona snapped.

Whitney and Flannery withdrew they’re hold on Drake, which he could’ve easily shaken off.

I sighed again.

“I can carry your bag for you if you want…” Jasmine suggested.

“Oh, no that’s okay, it’s really not that heavy, and your bag…sort of is.” I said awkwardly.

Jasmine laughed “Yeah I guess so.”

loved the chapter MiniMinun............ especially when Drake told Flannery to shut up............. XD
anyways great chapter........... can't wait for the next one^_^

 

[Rider]

Okie dokey here we go!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I’m glad Falkner’s kinda dim-witted, because by now he would’ve guessed I really liked him if he wasn’t. He probably just thinks I’m being my usual self, more so to him since he’s afraid of everything. But I really like him. I’ve liked him ever since I first met him. I was trying to reach a flower, but since I’m afraid of heights, I couldn’t reach it, since it was on a ledge. I guess Falkner saw that I was afraid, so he offered to get it for me. When he finally gave it to me, I thanked him, and he said that I shouldn’t worry about it since height’s was almost the only thing he wasn’t afraid of.

I don’t think he’s that much of a scaredy cat, just less experienced than everyone else, since he’s never gone beyond his hometown, and his mom was warning him about everything. They’re family became the “broken” family in the community ever since Falkner’s dad died from a stantler stampede.

My bag was heavy because I had a rock pokemon captured by a heavy ball in my bag. It was an Onix. I was hoping I could evolve it into a Steelix later on.

Steel pokemon are my favorite. Ever since I saw Falkner’s mom’s Skarmory.

It would be terrible if Falkner knew that I liked him more than a friend. I’d probably become a Whitney figure in his eyes if he did. Well, sort of like Whitney to Morty.

“Hey Jazz, something on your mind?” Winona asked.

Jazz is my nickname. Only Winona uses it though and she rarely uses it anyway. Once Rudy tried it out, and I got really mad. Nobody but Winona’s tried it since.

I guess it’s because I’m always so quiet and nice, that when I got mad, everybody got a little freaked out. Even Drake! Talk about a hidden power.

“Jazz?” Winona asked waving a hand in front of my face.

“Oh, sorry.” I said. My habit. Getting so caught up in my thoughts I forget about everything else. Even Flannery says she notices it, and I hardly even know her out of the rest of the group. Drake, never really inquires toward me. It’s usually Rudy, or Winona.

Winona says I should stop playing Matchmaker and be the matchmakee. Yeah right. She only says that because she’s the only one I’ve ever told that I have a crush on Falkner. Winona says that she thinks Drake has a thing for her, since she’s the only person he tries not to get mad at, and talks to the most. I agree, so sometimes, before I go to sleep, I make up wild matchmaking ideas, that would never work. I mean, he’s Drake! He just isn’t the social type. I think the only people in this group that actually talk, are Whitney and Flannery. Although Falkner does say stuff when he gets scared. I wish I could be the one to snap him out of it. It’s always Morty, who’s able to get him places he doesn’t want to go. Then again, Rudy is pretty clumsy, and tries to cover it up with lot’s of babbling.

“Hey, let’s go check out that patch of grass!” Whitney said and ran over.

I stole a glance at Falkner who, as usual looked deathly pale.

“Come on Falkner!” Morty called running over too.

Falkner stood his ground

“Come on.” I said gently, taking his hand and softly pulling his hand.

He finally moved.

The magic touch I thought smiling.

I guess he thought I was smiling at him, cause he smiled back. But I guess I was…

When we got into the grass, Falkner wouldn’t let go of my hand. I giggled, and he blushed.

“Don’t worry about it Falkner.” I said walking over to Winona.

Winona laughed at the sight, making Falkner redder than before.

“Hey look a Pidgey!” He said, and he let go of my hand to go check it out.

I smiled, and walked over.

The pidgey looked really small, and apparently it was too scared to move.

I sat down in front of the pidgey and held out my hand and waited patiently.

Eventually the pidgey hobbled over and pecked my hand gently.

I stroked it gently, and it hopped onto my hand.

I laughed, and showed Falkner.

“I love bird pokemon!” He said.

“Is that why your not afraid of heights?” I asked as the pidgey hopped over to him.

“Yeah.” He said.

“Hey little guy, wanna come with us?” Falkner asked as the pidgey chirped happily.

“Your friendly.” I said laughing and holding out my finger.

“Why don’t you keep her Falkner. You don’t have any pokemon yet right?” I asked

“No, I don’t.” he answered sheepishly.

The pidgey flew back over to him a cooed.

I laughed and said “Maybe now you won’t be as afraid of the grass?”

“Maybe.” He said blushing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

augh, sometimes I wish encyclopika wouldn't write such long chapters. she makes me feel so guilty. (_ _')
i don't really like the next chapter, it's not exactly the best, but oh well.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Hey, Rudy!” I said cheerfully.

“What do you want?” He asked.

Wow. Mr. Not nice today much? This guys seriously needs to learn how to treat girls nicely. But then again, he never did really like people that were younger than him. Me, Jasmine, and Falkner to be exact.

I sighed “You need to be nicer Rudy. I just said hi.” I snapped.

“Why should I be nicer. You’re not being any nicer.” He replied, walking through a patch of grass.

“hey look some exxecute!” He exclaimed.

“You should catch it.” I said. “You don’t have any other pokemon do you?”

He blushed and said “Yeah so what’s it to you?”

“Here, you can borrow Meg.” I said holding out Meg’s pokeball.

He sighed and snatched the pokeball.

“Go Meg.” He said lazily, and opened the pokeball.

He had SOME nerve! Just because it wasn’t his pokemon, but mine, which I generously offered, he had to act like it was some regular pokemon you’d find on the streets. Meg was special! You could only find her kind in Hoenn! I grumbled as he captured the Execute.

“Thanks for the help” Rudy said lazily tossing Meg’s pokeball back too me.

I was BOILING! He was so annoying! The world doesn’t revolve around you, you, you-

Of course I didn’t have time to continue.

“Flaaaaanneryyyy!”

“What?!” I said pushing my way back through the grass.

“Look! Falkner actually caught something!” Whitney said pointing to Falkner who was standing with a pidgey on his shoulder.

“Cool!” I said, trying my best to sound as chirpy as I usually did.

My fire was always extinguished whenever Rudy was around. He was so full of himself!

Thankfully Whitney was too amazed by the fact that Falkner didn’t run away screaming and Falkner too busy getting angry at Whitney, to notice that I was still angry.

I don’t know why, but even though he gets me so mad, I still help him out. Maybe it’s because I used to see him so much when our grandparents would get together to write pokemon poetry. We used to have to accompany them, and Rudy and I would always sneak off to do something less boring.

“Alright gang! Let’s hit the road!” Winona’s voice yelled through the grass.

As I stepped out of the grass I put on my happy face, and decided not to worry about that oaf.

+++

“I’m soooo tired Winona, can’t we stop?” Whitney moaned as she trudged alongside me.

“No Whitney, one more mile, then we’ll stop how many times do I have to tell you?” Winona snapped.

“Until we get there, you best start talkin.” Whitney grumbled, so I was the only one who could hear.

I laughed at Whitney’s remark, finally in a better mood.

“You know Winona, I think we’re going to have to bunk in the forest.” Jasmine said pointing ahead of them to a small forest.

“Yeah I think so. We’ll find a clearing, then turn in.” Winona said shoving her bag higher on her shoulders.

“Thank goodness!” Whitney cried.

“You shouldn’t complain so much Whitney. We’ll never get there if we stop each time you ask.” Morty said as he passed us.

Of course, Morty was the one who could stop her. Not that Whitney wasn’t still grumbling to me, but at least she wasn’t voicing it out for everyone to hear.

“You know, I think I see a clearing up there.” Rudy said squinting his eyes.

“Either that or your going as blind as your grandpa…” I muttered.

“Hey, Rudy’s right for once.” Drake said behind me making me jump.

I totally forgot that we weren’t in the very back, due to Whitney’s lagging. Falkner was lagging just as much, and Morty had most of the gear, so he always went ahead. I guess it was Drake’s turn to stay behind for Falkner.

“Come on Whitney, we’re almost there, the faster we get there the faster we get off this godforsaken pathway.” I said cheerfully as Whitney ran behind me.

“Heey wait up!” Falkner whined.

As we all rolled out our sleeping bags, I pulled out my ponytail, as Whitney pulled out her pigtails. Jasmine and Winona let their hair down too. Since so far, this journey had lasted only 2 days, we hadn’t really gotten to know all the others, which is probably why we were all getting on each others nerves. We had stayed in the town next to the border of Hoenn and Johto, since we were all from those two regions. Well, Rudy and Drake were from the Orange Islands, but they were visiting the Johto region anyway. I forgot that none of the guys had ever seen any of our hair down, and apparently, they had forgotten that too. Rudy apparently didn’t look up like all the others, and when he did he froze for second.

“Sorry, you guys just don’t look like…you guys when your hairs down.” He said simply sliding into his sleeping bag.

“No offense meant.” Morty completed for him as Rudy was getting daggers from all four of us.

“Well, what was that supposed to mean?” I snapped.

“That you just don’t look like you when your hair is down.” Falkner replied.

“We noticed that.” Whitney said sourly.

“What we mean is, is that supposed to be a good thing, or a bad thing?” Winona said in her most dangerous voice.

Each of the guys said something different.

Morty said that it made no difference, Falkner that it was a good thing obviously afraid of what Winona would do, Rudy snorted and said why should he care, and Drake simply said a bad thing.

Big mistake for Drake.

“You insolent little-“ Winona started getting up to bash Drake in the face, as Jasmine pulled her back.

“Not like you guys ever look good yourself.” Whitney snapped, mainly at Rudy who was already half asleep.

Morty pulled off his headband and said “Whatever, we should all get some sleep and forget about this hair issue.” He tossed the headband onto the ground and he pulled the sleeping bag covers over himself, Falkner and Drake doing the same. Whitney, already sitting in her sleeping bag laid back and fell asleep instantly.

Winona said she’d take a walk to calm down, and Jasmine decided to warm up next to the fire we’d built.

I didn’t know what I wanted to do. Part of me was exhausted, but part of me was wide-awake. I decided to side with my tired side and laid my head on the sleeping bag pillow.

I couldn’t get to sleep for awhile so I decided to see what I thought about everyone.

Lets see, Morty’s okay, He’s really nice and all, but he’s sorta weird. But at least he doesn’t badger us with his…beliefs. Falkner’s actually cool when he’s not freaked out by everything. I hope his pidgey isn’t a pansy too. But then again, it is just a baby, so I can’t blame the pidgey, but as for Falkner…he’s eleven for crying out loud. Talk about a Mama’s boy. Drake…I’ve never really paid attention to that guy. He’s like, invisible to me, and I, him. Not that it matters, I mean, he’s so…different. Like he’ll give you the cold shoulder after a few days or something. I’m amazed that Winona hasn’t driven him insane, since he’s so used to doing things his way. And while we’re on Winona…she’s like a mom now. I don’t understand it. She always has to make sure we brush our teeth and crap like that. Like she’s a responsible mom, and Drakes, the dad who drinks beer all day. Actually I can’t see him ever drinking…At least Whitney, though she complains a lot, is actually human like. She’s not a robot who does anybody’s bidding like Jasmine. And when I’m around Jasmine, I just feel like sleeping you know? It’s like she’s a jigglypuff with a song we can’t hear. Speaking of sleeping….
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, and that'sa that.

 

[Sweet May]

Jazz is my nickname. Only Winona uses it though and she rarely uses it anyway. Once Rudy tried it out, and I got really mad. Nobody but Winona’s tried it since.

funny part XD
anyways i really love your fic since its so great ^_^
can't wait for the next one =D

 

[Rider]

Okay, I consider the next two chappies sorta shippy, but whatever. Not much to say here
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once again, I woke up in a manner I really wouldn’t have preferred.

I woke up to an ear-splitting scream.

Of course I knew who it belonged to.

I sat up to see a terrified Whitney and a spinark.

I sighed and said “Whitney, why did you have to scream?”

“I hate bugs! Get it away from me!” She said backed up to a tree trunk.

Morty apparently was already up, and stood up from next to the extinguished fire, and picked the Spinark up.

“I don’t see what’s so scary about it. At least it’s not an Ariados…”

“Well Mr. I’m so great, if you were me you would be afraid of bug pokemon too!” Whitney said angrily.

Everyone was quiet including myself.

That was the first thing Whitney had ever said to Morty that wasn’t dripping with honey, or wasn’t completely butchered up. Actually it was probably the first time Whitney ever actually got mad at Morty.

It continued for the rest of the day.

She was obviously very sensitive about her fear, and anyone who made a remark about it, even Morty, wasn’t going to get her forgiveness very easily.

For once, Morty didn’t know what to do. We could all tell that he was really confused. If he tried to apologize, (which he tried already) then she would yell at him, and if he did nothing, then she’d hate him.

I would pick hate. I mean, it’s not like I like her or anything. She’s an annoying brat. Come to think of it, so is every other girl in the group. Flannery obviously has a crush on me, which sucks, and Winona’s too bossy, and Jasmine’s niceness gets really annoying.

But apparently, Whitney wasn’t the only girl angry. Winona was mad at Drake for last night, ‘What is it with girls and their hair?’ and Flannery was mad at me! What did I ever do? God, I’ll never figure out girls. They’re so…un-nessicarily complex. Not only that, half of the girl-no practically all of the girl population is annoying! They change they’re crushes every time they meet a new guy! I sighed.

“Something bothering you Rudy?” Drake said beside me.

“Oh no, I’m just trying to figure out those stupid girls.” I answered truthfully.

“Trust me, you don’t want to try that. But if your referring to the fact that Flannery’s mad at you, she’ll cool off. It’s best not to do anything about it, because they eventually cool off. Especially the one’s that have a crush on you, so technically, Winona’s not going to get any happier with me, which is actually going to be a bonus, and Whitney will probably forget the whole thing by tomorrow.” Drake said.

Wow. That was the biggest amount of words I’ve ever heard from him. All at once, and he was talking to me to boot! But I had to admit he was wrong about Flannery. A girl like her? All I can say is stubborn like hell. She’s not going to forgive me for WHATEVER I did, which I STILL can’t figure out, too soon.

“Hey look there’s Cherry Grove!” Whitney said from the top of the hill, pointing, to something I obviously couldn’t see, because all I saw at the moment was a blindingly green field.

“I don’t see anything.” I said squinting in the sun.

“Honestly Rudy it’s right there.” Drake said pointing practically right in front of me.

“Well, I couldn’t see anything, the sun was in my eyes.” What a great excuse. I didn’t think much of it, and apparently, neither did Morty.

“Riiiiiiiight” He said walking down the hill with his hands in his pockets. I guess he finally got his composure back again.

Everyone followed him, including myself. I really don’t get him either. He’s like a male Jasmine, with a crazy thing for superstition or something. Falkner’s needs to get a grip. I mean, most people are not afraid of tall grass, and afraid of heights! What’s his problem?

“Come on Falkner there aren’t any salamence down there that’re going to eat you.” Morty said moodily.

Hmm. I take the composure thing back.

I guess he is sorta bummed that Whitney’s still mad at him. I mean, it’s a pretty big feat.

I felt someone run past me, almost tripping me in the process.

“Hey, what was that for?!” I yelled at the red head.

She didn’t say anything, but caught up to Whitney, who had made it to the front.

I guess she’s still not talking to me.

Maybe her talking is better than her trying to inflict physical damage upon me.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------“Wow, I guess everyone’s in a bad mood today.” I said to Jasmine.

But it wasn’t Jasmine who was standing next to me.

“I guess so, but you can’t count yourself out, your still mad at me.”

Drake?!

“Oh sorry, I thought you were Jasmine.” I said coldly looking around for her.

“She’s over there with Falkner.” Drake said in a calm voice that ****** me off.

I couldn’t interfere with Jasmine when she was talking with Falkner, but I didn’t want to be stuck with this insulting jerk, since Morty was talking with Rudy now, and Whitney and Flannery were discussing why they were angry at the former two.

“Arg! Why do you have to be the only one that isn’t talking to anybody!” I said, forgetting that he was standing right next to me.

“I was just kidding last night, honestly, you don’t have to get all worked up over it.” He said.

I couldn’t tell if he was teasing me or not. His voice was calm, the quote was annoying, but his face was blank. Not only did this make me more angry, but this also made me confused.

Was he mad at me, or was this his reaction of me being mad at him.

I’ve never actually seen him mad at anyone.

Wait a second, back up. Was that last thing he said to me…was that, an apology?

Come to think of it, I guess I’ve never said sorry to him, for being 10 times as bossy to him.

“I’m sorry for hitting you earlier.” I said as quiet as I could.

He stopped walking.

I turned around to see what was wrong, and so did everybody else.

He was staring at me.

“You just said…”

“I’m not saying it again!” I snapped.

He smiled at me.

Oh he was really cute when he smiled.

Ew! That was sick. I think I’M going to be sick. I can’t believe I just thought that.

Everyone looked more confused than a spinda under the effects of confusion.

“What did you say Winona?” Flannery and Whitney asked inching up to me.

“I’m not saying it again, if you really want to know, ask Drake.” I said mainly for Rudy who was slowly moving over so he could hear what was going on.

“I’ll tell you later Jasmine.” I said walking on, as Jasmine opened her mouth to say something.

I was in a considerably darker mood than before, but Drake seemed pretty satisfied with himself.

The stuck-up jerk. Probably thinks it’s great that I said sorry to him alone. I was so angry, I could swear I was scaring the pants off of Falkner, who looked as though he was going to cry, just from seeing me like this.

Of course Jasmine suggested that he let his pidgey out for some exercise, and he was completely cured.I guess that pidgey’s fears, were mainly his fears, but he ignored his and went into the grass with us, for a few moments until his pidgey wanted out.

But there were no pokemon around the area. It was strange.

Then Whitney started to complain about being hungry.

“Why don’t you eat some roasted spinark?” Rudy asked teasingly.

But Whitney didn’t find it funny in the least. She slapped him with all her might and stomped over to Flannery.

“Rudy, don’t.” Morty sighed.

I think this was a bonus point for him, because for the first time all day, Whitney giggled.

Whether it was at Morty, or something Flannery said, I’ll never know.

“Can we go now?” Whitney asked putting her hands on her hips and pouting.

Obviously she was asking me.

“Sure, there aren’t any pokemon, and it’s getting darker anyway.” I said walking out.

Drake and Falkner were sitting on a bench.

“Hey… Drake you never go into the grass with us.” I said “why?”

“Because I’ve got all the pokemon I need right now, if I find a pokemon I want, it’ll be at blackthorn or Ecruteak.” He said, capping the water bottle he was drinking out of.

Oh sorry Mr. High and Mighty.

+++

“We’re finally here!” Flannery cried.

“We could’ve been here yesterday.” I grumbled.

“Don’t complain.” Drake said walking up “At least we got here before your week-long goal.”

“If we got here in a week, I’d be really ******!” I shouted at Drake who was already walking to the pokemon center.

Once again, we were at girl and boy tables in the cafeteria. Although, we were practically on opposite sides of the room, which gave us girls plenty of room to talk.

Whitney apparently wasn’t as mad as she was before, but still angry from what I heard from her.

Flannery was still angry at Rudy, for what reason, I didn’t bother to hear.

Jasmine said nothing, as usual, but I knew well enough what she would’ve said.

I sat back, crossed my leg over the other, and took a thoughtful sip of my water.

“Well?” Whitney said impaitently.

“Well what?” I asked.

“What about you?!” Flannery cried.

“Yeah, what did you say to Drake that left him so pleased?” Jasmine asked “You didn’t say you liked him did you?”

“That’s gross Jasmine!” I said slamming my hand down on the table.

Heads turned from the boys table.

I shot a death glare over there, mainly at Drake, who looked more smug than even possible.

“Anyway, he looked sorta depressed for awhile, then he said something that sounded like an apology, so I decided to say sorry for hitting him earlier in the morning.” I said skipping the minor details.

“Drake actually apologized?” Flannery said in a hushed whisper.

“To you?” Whitney said not bothering to keep her voice down.


"Not straight out, but he sorta...implied it..." I said thinking and realizing that it never sounded like an apology at all...

I glanced over at the boys table.

I could’ve laughed at the sight.

Morty was shaking, apparently trying not to laugh out loud, Falkner was confused, and Drake was shaking his head in disbelief.

At first I didn’t get it, but then I saw Rudy, trying to sneak over.

“You better watch what you say from now on, Rudy’s trying to sneak.” I said.

“Let’s have some fun with him shall we?” Flannery her voice hushed.

“Definetly.” Whitney agreed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OKay, next chappies are sorta weird too, but here are these two chaps.

 

[Sweet May]

its great........... loved the chappies =D
can't wait for the next^^

 

[Encyclopika]

Wow...this is great. The only thing I have to say is add in more background detail...like what the area around them looks like. In the first chapter or so, I got a little confused when all of a sudden they were in a Pokemon Center. Besides that, great job with the character development. ^^ Winona is so my favorite character in this and I support DrakexWinona all the way! XD

augh, sometimes I wish encyclopika wouldn't write such long chapters. she makes me feel so guilty. (_ _')
i don't really like the next chapter, it's not exactly the best, but oh well.

XD Don't worry about it. You can't really compare our too stories together because mine are EPISODES and yours are CHAPTERS. If you haven't realized, my "chapaters" are all their own stories linked together in time while yours start up right where you left off. ^^

 

[Rider]

^^ yesh I guess so! And your lucky Encyclopika, even though it took me forever to find a gym leader guy for Winona, it's my fave too! XD lol, although awhile ago, i read that Drakes actually a champion, and, not a gym leader buuut... _ _; Whatev. He's too important now. Too late! lol. Next chappie should be up by this weekend...if I remember....

 

[metallic_pikachu]

Wow, I really like this fic! The fact that the gym leaders are kids makes it even better! Get the next chap up soon!

 

[Miss Priss]

I can't believe I didn't get to this one sooner...I love it! Can you please add me onto the PM list? Thanks in advance ^^

 

[Rider]

Yesh your added BeAuTiFuL mAy, and I revised this next chapter, but THEN MY COMPUTER CRASHED and I was too lazy/angry to re-revise it. So, you'll have to bear with my in-descriptiveness and use your imagination.
----------------------------------------------------------
I didn’t think Rudy to sink to this level.

But it was really funny, I had to admit that.

Not like I was going to laugh. I hadn’t laughed for a good time now.

Flannery was saying something really fast, and whitney nodded her head.

When they started talking again, Rudy was within’ earshot.

Morty slid down in his seat.

I’d never seen him so…happy looking.

Well, his face was the same as always, but he had his hand clamped over his mouth.

Falkner asked what was going on and I gesteured over to where Rudy was.

He looked over and quickly shot his head back to me

“He’s not seriously…” Falkner began.

I sighed and said “Yes, I think he is.”

+++

Rudy made his way over, when the girls had finished eating.

“Oh jeez, I have a lot to tell you guys!” Rudy said pracitcally jumping up and down in his seat.

He looked like he was about to wet his pants.

I sighed again. Winona obviously knew that Rudy was watching.

She obviously would’ve told the others.

And Flannery would’ve obviously wanted to give him some false info, and see if he’d take the empty gum wrapper. (I hate that trick!)

“Has it ever occurred to you that they knew, and pulled your leg fresh off the limb?” I asked rolling my eyes. (from quote-pulling his leg)

He stopped, and looked blank for a minute.

“Nah, my sneaking skills are far too superior.” He said waving the comment away.”

I heard a hand slap on the table.

Rudy almost shot out of his seat, and Morty calm now, glanced over.

I lifted my line of vision to a very happy Winona, who was staring right at me.

“What, is it something that Rudy has yet to tell me?” I asked, uncomfortable from her smug stare.

“Oh I have no idea what your talking about, but this is why I probably look so happy.” She said indicating the piece of paper underneath her hand.

I slid the paper out from her death grip.

“I didn’t know you had a little sister.” She said smugly.

I stared at the bad spelling

Deer Dracke,

I wan u too cum c me 2morow at violet cite. Pleeeeeeese cum?

Mommee wil bee hear too.Bing fwends. I wanna meet ur gurlfriend.

Luv,
Sarah

“No.” I said, still staring at the letter. “This isn’t happening…what’s she doing in violet?”

“I dunno, but as far as I’m concerned, I’m the closest thing to a girlfriend you’ve got, so I think we should stop by tomorrow!” Winona said sitting down in the empty seat.

I blushed embarrased from her statement.

“No way are we going my mom’s going to embarrass the hell outta me, and my sister’s going to tell you everything she knows about me!” I said.

“Aw, hear me out, Drakey.” Winona said in a baby voice.

Arg! This girl is so full of it!

“Drake, your redder than a scizor.” Falkner laughed.

“Anyway, I got a letter from my younger bro too, and apparently it pretty much the same as your sisters letter.” Winona said.

I stopped for a second and clenched the letter in my fist.

“Why would I want to know all of your secrets?” I asked turning redder than ever.

“Well, I dunno, you obviously like me, so maybe my brother could maybe tell you if I like you or not, or something like that, or maybe who I already like in the first place, you never know, maybe it’s Morty, or maybe it’s that cutie, Lance, who you have a striking resemblence to you know that?” Winona said twirling a pen between her fingers.

Morty blushed and put his hand to his forehead.

She was winding us all up!

“You’re so full of it!” I yelled.

Good thing no one was in the cafeteria.

Arg, I can’t believe she implied that I was cute. I don’t look a thing like Lance! ….well, actually I’ve never met or really seen him…

“Or maybe, it could be Rudy, although I highly doubt my brother would say that, since Rudy is an arrogant jerk, but not as arrogent or jerk-like as you, no doubts about that.” She said still holding onto composure, and the little decency she had at the moment.

This time it was Rudy’s turn to blush, and say “I’m not arrogant…”

“Hmm, I think, that should do.” Winona said standing up and snatching the letter away from me.

She shred it into pieces and Flannery and Whitney fell over from their hiding places doubled over in laughter, while jasmine hand her hand pressed to her mouth, trying to stop herself from laughing too loudly.

“Shrewd Winona. Shrewd.” Falkner said.

“What?” Morty and Rudy asked.

“Winona obviously forged the note so she could get revenge, on Drake, then, she decided that she would keep going, and take care of Whitney and Flannery’s revenge by making you two, blush, and be embarrassed out of your mind.” Falkner said nodding “Shrewd.”

“Well, at least I forgive you now Morty!” Whitney said throwing her arms around him from behind.

“You didn’t have to do it like this!” He said folding his arms.

“Yeah, what I ever do you Flannery?!” Rudy asked standing up.

Flannery grinned and said “You insulted my pokemon!”

“What? I never-“

“Well, you implied it.” Flannery said thoughtfully.

“So, the entire thing was a fake.” I said quietly.

“Yeah, it was.” Winona said sitting in Rudy’s vacated seat next to me.

“How did you know I had a little sister?” I asked not meeting her eyes.

“I heard you talking to her, you know, the day we were at the lake seperating hoenn, johto, and the orange island regions. That’s how I knew her name too.” Winona said her expression becoming less smug by the minute.

“Are you okay?” She asked waving a hand in front of my face.

“What? Oh, yeah I’m fine, it’s just that, even if my sister told you all of my secrets, I still want to see her.” I said leaning back in my chair.

“Oh…” Winona said resting her chin in the palm of her hand.

She watched as Rudy chased Flannery around the cafeteria, angry as a tauros, and Whitney jabbering away to a relieved Morty. Jasmine was laughing at the sight, and Falkner was smiling too. Though, at her, and not the scene.

I guess everyone’s getting more interested in each other than ever.

“This is going to be a long journey.” I said sub-consiously.

“What makes you say that?” Winona asked finally catching my eye.

I sighed. “Well, everyone’s going to get mad at each other again, then we’ll go through the revenge thing all over again, until we’re all sick of each other.”

“Hmm…again, what makes you say that?” Winona asked.

God your so dense woman!

“Well, I think the only two that won’t fight is Jasmine and Falkner, due to the fact that, they’re both so tolerant, but if Morty accidentally says something about bugs again, Whitney’s going to fry him, and Rudy and Flannery are always fighting, so I guess this is turning into a soap opera.” I said.

Winona was staring at me again.

“What?!” I asked.

“That’s the biggest amount of words I’ve ever heard you string together.” She said.

“Did you even listen to me?!” I asked angrier than ever,

“Yes.” She said turning back to the commotion.

“Winona hide me!” Flannery called gleefully as she circled around Winona hiding behind her.

“That’s enough!” She said to Rudy and Flannery though they paid no mind.

I stood up.

Rudy stopped for a second to look at me.

Winona looked as though she was looking at me in a whole new light.

“You don’t expect me to stop them do you?” I asked.

She blinked for a second then-

“DRAKE GET YOU’RE A** OVER HERE!!” She yelled.

I walked over to the door, and out of the cafeteria.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
that last sentence is a little different from PP's so exclusivey for serebii! (actually I just saw that and I'm too lazy to go edit my post at PP)

 

[Miss Priss]

Thanks for adding me to the PM list, MiniMinun ^__^ I really liked this chapter a lot, it's so down to Earth. Like, I can actually picture it all in my head. Good job ^^
