Well, the dance was upon me, and I went unasked. In fact, I heard Reo had asked Estelle! When I heard, I ran to my room and cried for an hour straight. Then, toughing up, I sat up and continued to work on my dress. It ended up being ankle long, black sleaveless, with a large slit up the sid of the leg. Around the middle was a large red ribbon, with a big bow in the back. A smaller red ribbon could tie my hair back. A black choker pulled tight around my neck. For shoes, I wore short heals that were tall enough to look nice but short enough that I could dance in them. It had taken me forever to make the outfit, and I was going to that dance! I didn't care if no one asked me! Besides, there had to be some sing males about my age around this place, right?
...Right?
Oh well! Even if I couldn't name any off the top of my head, doesn't mean anything. I would have a good time, anyway, date or no date! Hopefully, it won't be all formal dancing. Maybe a bit of fun hip hop, rock, and such! Even better, there might be karaoke! PLEASE let this be some fun! Reo might even ask me to dance! Who says you have to dance with one girl the whole time?
...No one, right?
SCREW IT! I'M GOING AND I'M GONNA LIKE IT!
Finally, it was almost time for the dance. Fixing my hair a bit, making it, my ears, and my tail sparkle. Looking at the dress one last time, I realized how big it made my chest look. Dang! I looked suave! Well, time to go!
Dateless.
To a formal dance.
And have... Fun...
I nearly statrted crying, but I held it in to keep my mascara from running. Putting on a sexy smile, I left my room...
~Kat
She really likes to argue with herself, huh? If someone would like to include her, please do! ^_^
Mear
I held her… because that was the only thing I could think to do. When she tried to blame herself again, I refuted it. I was done hearing of her blaming herself. Things were quiet for a long time with just the sound of light breathing in the room. I didn’t move even as she moved her head to my shoulder. Things were becoming peaceful again. I let out a quiet breath. Suddenly, Shupple’s hand seemed to clasp one of mine. It was a quiet movement, and I made no protest.
“Comfort….” Shupple whispered more to herself than to me.
I just nodded a bit and breathed in. Even though my head didn’t move, I let my eyes slowly move around the room. I remembered making the room as I had done reverse sketch, and yet it had changed as Shupple had made it her own. I knew that the other Gijinka had done the same, and I slowly reflected that I would not be able to preserve things in the way I had before. Alone, I was able to deal solely with myself and work for my needs, and it was alright for me to be somewhat harsh. Yet I was no longer alone, and I understood this. Just as I could no longer let my nerve rule the way I acted in large groups, I began to understand that I had to take more time and consider other feelings before I acted out again. This was the point in time that I started to realize that maybe Shupple had not known exactly what I was talking about in the kitchen. It was a strange thought to intrude on others, but I let it pass on.
Leaving my thoughts alone and considering the surroundings. I realized that I had methodically begun to run my fingers through Shupple’s hair. I wasn’t sure when I had started it, and yet Shupple seemed in no way protesting to it. A strange knot came into my stomach out of nervousness, but I forced it away for at least the moment. There was no time for that at this point.
“Shupple…” I said quietly.
She mumbled quietly, but I couldn’t discern what she was saying. I waited but found that she had let the words just leave and dissolve into the air. I found my frame move up in a full shrug, yet it didn’t seem to faze Shupple. Maybe… she was coming into full peace… Came as an answer in my mind. I stayed silent for another few seconds before relaxing myself.
Time passed slowly, and yet it was peaceful. It was nice to not move…. Just to stay there… quiet and peaceful….
The door seemed to slide and caused my eye to rise. Standing just outside the doorway was the Gengar Gijinka from before. I was about to turn my head when he put a finger to his lips and just smirked back. I let out a breath of somewhat understanding. The Gengar Gijinka nodded and then closed the door back completely.
I looked down and found that Shupple was in a state between full sleep and awakeness. I felt a pang realizing that the stress I had placed on her had probably cost her a lot of energy not to mention that she was already a ghost pokemon and weakened by the sunlight to begin with.
“Thank… thank you… Mear…” Shupple said quietly but fluidly.
I felt myself tense and relax. Shupple… had said thank you.. for what? For being harsh to her and causing her to cry? I couldn’t understand it, and I found myself starting to lisp the words ‘I’m sorry’ again quietly almost to myself.
After Shupple went off crying I saw Gray head to Mears room. I didnt wait for anything else. I ran and grabbed a broom and swept up the food into a large dustpan, and then threw it away. Tossing the broom and dustpan near the trashcan I ran around the corner to where I smelled Daniel and Haunter. 'Someone will have to mop it but I dont have time to do that too.' I thought as I ran up to them. "Its sad, but lets watch!" I said as I grabbed Daniel's hand and pulled him back against the wall with me as I sat down. He sat down next to me and I said, "Ok, lets go Haunter!" I said as both me and Daniel lost countiosness. We woke up in the dream as always and started watching.
~Eva~
As I watched the scene I realized Eva was still holding my hand and I blushed. She seemed happy, even though the scene was sad.
"Why are you happy?" I asked.
"There in love silly." I said with a giggle. She then leaned against me and I turned beat red.(their still sitting down) I leaned back against her, as I heard my heart pound and I wispered, "I know how they feel." Thankfully, for once, Eva didnt hear something.
~Daniel~
We dont call her Eva the eavesdropper for nothing*giggles*
~Poochy
*Last Night*
I blushed. This guy comes into my room, all but dragged by Akira, and then comes out and randomly asks me to the dance? Was this his kind of joke?
But something told me he wasn't joking. "S-sure...I-I'll go with you, Badrak." He smiled widely up at me. "Wonderful!" He said and sprang up and clasped my hand.s
That just made me blush even more. I hadn't had this kind of attention since I was with Shay...
I went over to the door and opened it and signaled for him and Akira to go. "I'll see you tomorrow then?" He asked, making sure I had for sure said yes.
Nodding to him was all I could do. Badrak left with Akira following him. Shutting the door I leaned agents it.
'This is crazy...It really just is...'
*In Poochy's Dream*
Walking around I wasn't sure where I was. I was surrounded by trees and it seemed silent. Turning my head I spotted someone off int the distance.
"Hay!" I called but the person didn't flinch. Starting to walk towards the person it just seemed to get farther and farther away. "H-hay! Wait up!" I called and sprinted after the person.
Bursting through the trees and brush I found my self looking out to the sea, with the person not in sight. Sighing I turned back to the forest to find it was no longer there.
Looking back at the ocean I saw something skim the surface. Steeping closer I peered out to try and make it out. 'There it is again!' I thought and steeped into the water until it was up to my knee.
By now it had gotten closer and it looked like a fin. When it came up again I saw red glowing eyes too, then it disappeared under again.
"Shay?!" I asked surprised. My voice seemed to echo. "Is that you?" I asked and started to wade out deeper and deeper into the water until I had to almost treed water.
Turning myself I tried to find the fin again but coudln't....Taking a deep breath I went under water and opened my eyes and looked around. Still no sign.
About to resurface I saw movement and looked to see a Sharpedo approaching as a fast speed. It had an ugly grin on it's face and a scar that was on the side of it's face.
It parted it's large jaws and it boomed my name. I shrieked as it's jaws were about to close around my neck.
*CRASH*
I jolted up with a start and looked around wildly expecting to see the Sharpedo.
'Just a dream Poochy, calm down.' I thought and pushed my bangs out of my eyes. Getting out of bed I got dressed and went to go see what the crash was.
Coming into the kitchen I found Eva, Daniel, and some other gijinka. Looking at the floor I assumed someone had dropped or spilled something.
“STAY OUT! STAY OUT! IT’S MY FAULT! I GET IT! I GET IT!” I heard someone scream. I grumbled to myself and covered my ears and went and grabbed something to eat then sat down.
Continue?
~Poochy
DX sorry it took so long for Poochy's answer ta Badrak asking her :3
Shupple
"I'm sorry... It was my fault." What?
I wiped the tears that were strewn across my face and the ones that were dried on my face off me, though I still didn't feel right, but then I took in the revelation that Mear was holding me to him, on his lap. I hadn't, and wasn't, and never, had expected Mear to do this...
"Wh... Wh-why is it your fault?" I hiccuped as I felt the tears welling up in my eyes again, but made them hold. I didn't want to cry in front of Mear again... It was embarrassing... I guess...
"I... was only paying attention to the matter at hand with my sketchbook... and not about... how you were feeling or that you were feeling upset or crying... I was only paying attention to my notebook, one thing, when I should have gone back down to you and tried to explain... That's why it's my fault..." Mear left off, still holding me to him, and I didn't want to move. This was making me feel better slowly...
"B-but-" My voice cracked but I continued. "I-it's also m-my fault b-because I d-didn't catch m-my footing a-at all, and I t-tripped on to you, and..." I rambled on but then I realized I shouldn't be talking, but instead, Mear's grip tightened a little.
"Don't say it was your fault. It was mine. Just don't say that..." Mear left off, and I sniffled, wiping the last of the tears off of my face.
Things were quiet a little after that, and Mear had his still grip on me, but I was still upset somewhere in me, so unknowingly, I put my head against his shoulder softly, not moving at all.
I hoped this was okay... At least just a little....
