Getting Back to Where I Belong Part 4 By Finaille Nailo "WHAT?!" Emily yells in shock. I was at school eating lunch, and I had just told her, Caitlin, and Amelia about my dad. Although I didn't want to, they knew something was wrong and they wouldn't stop bugging me until I told them. "Well, what happened to him?" Caitlin asks. I look at her sadly. "Bad car accident, a large truck ran a red light and ran right into my dad's car." I say. I take a bite out of my sandwich. "But, you're so calm about it!" Amelia notices. I roll my eyes. Oh yeah, like I'm really gonna cry at school. "My mom said that my dad wouldn't want to see me crying." I lie casually. I've been lying a lot lately, seems like I should work on that. "Guess that makes sense. You sure you're ok?" Emily asks me. I nod. As soon as I finish my lunch, I bury my head in my arms. I don't want to think about anything. All I want to do is go and find Ash, and have him comfort me... I feel a light tap on my shoulder. I put my head up to find Matt sitting down in the empty chair next to me. "Hey Ren, what's wrong?" He asks, putting his arm around me. I look at him. "My dad died." I say plainly. He gives me a shocked look. "Oh Ren, that's so horrible. I wish I could make you feel better." He says, hugging me tightly and not letting go. This time I couldn't help it, and I tear falls down my cheek. He wipes the tear off with a kiss, and then kisses me sweetly; I smile. "I know it's kind of silly." I say, a little embarrassed. "It's not, it's ok to cry." He says sweetly. I look up into his eyes, and he gives me a cute grin. I laugh a little. "Thanks Matt." I say. Ok, he did the same thing Ash would have done, but something's different, or should I say, not right. "I just want to go back." I tell him. "Go back? Oh, I see." He looks at me sadly. I smile at him. "Don't be sad, don't forget, I'll probably never go back anyways..." I say. I kiss Matt on the nose, and he smiles again. "Well, if you need comfort, I'll always be there for you. Anyways, I've got to run, project due next hour." He kisses me quick. "Alright, talk to you later." "Call you tonight?" He asks. I grin and nod. "Bye Matt." He kisses me and the forehead. "Bye Ren." He says and runs off. I turn to face my friends, who are all staring at me. I blink. "Uh, what?" I ask, confused. They all smile and laugh. "Nothing..." Caitlin says with a huge smirk on her face. "So, you're going out with him now?" Amelia asks. I nod shyly. They all high- five each other. "Took long enough." Emily says with a laugh. "But what were you talking about when you said you "wanted to go back"?" Caitlin asks curiously. "Nothing important." I say quickly. Emily raises an eyebrow. "Right Ren, I'm sure there's nothing." She says with a grin. ************************************************************************ "Bleh, last night was not a good night..." Ash groans to Misty. "Why? What was wrong?" Misty asks. "Bad dream, Rennie's dad died. But I'm just paranoid." Ash says with a grin. "Hey Ash," Jen says, "Do you think we should just continue with our journey again? I don't think Rennie is coming back." "Yeah, we've been here for two weeks. I don't think she's coming back." Brock says. Ash looks sad for a moment, but then determined. "Yeah, I guess we should get going." Ash says. "Why don't we get packed up and meet at the front of the Pokemon Center in twenty minutes?" "Alright." Jen says. She looks up at the sky. "Bye Ren, it was nice knowing ya." She looks down at the ground for a moment, then joins Misty and goes to their room. "Yeah, it was." Ash says with a smile. He couldn't forget how they first met, she was lying in the middle of a path all confused. How freaked out she was when she saw him. Everything was flashing by him, their first kiss, their first fight, Rennie leaving their world. Ash grasps on the necklace Rennie had given him as a tear falls down his cheek. "Bye Ren." ************************************************************************ It's been three months since my dad died. Things have gone somewhat back to normal. Matt and I have been doing pretty well, we've had a lot of fun so far. I've still been trying to make feeble attempts to get back into the Pokemon World, but nothing's been working. I've actually just wanted to give up lately, but something feels wrong, like something's gonna burst out of my body. And for some reason, that feeling pushes me to want to go back. Anyways, back to Matt, things have been kind of awkward lately. I really care for him, but I don't think he really cares for me as much as I do. I have this strange feeling... "BRRIIIINNNNGGG!!!" I jump startledly. Nobody's home, so I pick up the phone. "Hello?" I ask. "Ren? It's me, Matt." "Oh, hi Matt, how are you?" "Not so good, Ren, I have something to tell you." "What? Is something wrong?" "Rennie, I don't know how to say this, but last night I went to a party, and I kissed another girl." Matt says quietly. "And I like this other girl, I have for a little while. I want to go out with her." "You're breaking up with me, aren't you?' "Well, yes, I am. I'm so sorry, can we be friends still? You're a great girl." He says after a long pause of silence. "Friends?! Oh yeah, you, me, and your new girlfriend going to the movies together!" I yell angrily. I slam the phone back on the receiver. "I can't believe he did that." I pause for a moment as tears fill my eyes. "I NEED TO SEE ASH!!!!" I run to the TV and pound on it angrily. When that doesn't work, I start to shake it. Nothing. I start sobbing uncontrollably. "Rennie." I hear a voice say. I look around. "Who's there?" I ask with a tone of fear in my voice. I see nothing. Ok, I'm totally freaked out!!! "I can help you." The voice says. I see a bright light, and it blinds me temporarily. "What? Who are you?" I ask casually. The light dims, and I find a green creature sitting next to me. "I'm Celebi, and I've always been part of you. I made you travel to the Pokemon world nearly a year ago, and I sent you back on your own wish. I couldn't send you back until I could escape from your soul, and the more you wished to go back, the more your soul dropped it's barrier. I can help you travel back and forth." "I want to go back. I want to see Ash." I tell him. He looks at me seriously. "I'll always be with you." He says. We both glow a shade of purple, the same purple I saw four months ago. I smile. "Thank you." I say quietly, and my world turns black once again. ************************************************************************ I wake up to find myself lying on an unfamiliar trail. Celebi is lying on my right, looking at me. "Where am I?" I ask. "Ash is heading this way, he'll be here momentarily." He smiles. "Only you are allowed to see me, so I must go back in your soul. When you need me, call me." I see a bright flash, and in seconds the Celebi had vanished. A few moments later, I hear voices. "Yeah, that battle was so easy." I hear a girls' voice say. "Yeah, you did a really good job." I hear a boys' voice reply. I stand up, and start walking towards the voices. I finally see a group of five people from far away, but couldn't see who it was. As they come closer, I notice it's Ash, and everybody else. I freeze. All of a sudden, Brock spots me and grins, but nobody else does. They are still pretty far away, and I see Brock telling Ash something. Ash continues to walk on, and the other four just stand there and watch. It didn't take me long to figure out what was going on. Ash is looking at the ground with a confused look on his face. When he is about 20 feet away from me, he finally looks up. He sees me, and his eyes widen in shock. I don't know what we were both thinking, but our minds were in the same place. We both bolt towards each other, and embrace in a hug. "RENNIE!" He yells. I grin happily. "I'm back." I say with a huge grin on my face. "But, how did you get here?" Ash asks, very surprised. "I had help from, well, a friend. But now I can travel back and forth. I can come whenever I want now." I tell him. He grins and kisses me. "You've changed a lot in the last four months." He says, running his fingers through my hair. Yes, I would agree. My hair was much shorter, I had grown three inches, and I was once again "animeish". I smiled happily as a tear fell down my cheek. "I'm finally back to where I belong." I say quietly to myself, looking up at the bright sky. Matt was now the last thing on my mind, if he was in my mind at all. A/N- OH MY GOSH! YAY! I FINALLY GOT THE SECOND SAGA DONE!
