“I’m sorry Misty. We can’t handle two things at the same time. It just doesn’t work out.”
“Why? I don’t want to leave you.” “I don’t want to leave you as well.” “Ok Ash, good-bye.”
“Good-bye forever, Misty.”
   “Attendance time!” “Stone!” “Here.” Stone boringly replied. “Lilly!” 
“Here.” Lilly responded.
The teacher continued with attendance for the period. “Ring ring!” The school bell rang.
“School’s out!” Stone hollered. 
“Can’t you shut up for once dweeb?” Lilly asked, eyes rolling.
“You’re the one who should be quiet!” Stone replied. Lilly leaped on to bus 7. Stone hopped on 
bus 18.
   “Hey Stone! Is that you?” 
“It is! Hi dad!” Stone said cheerfully. “Hi! Where would you like to eat from today for dinner?” 
Ash questioned. “I haven’t really decided. Maybe we should eat from Pallet Friday?” 
“Ok, let me cash up for today.” Ash replied, while searching for his wallet. “Hmm…I think 
that’s just enough. Don’t order anything big, ok? You can get me anything that doesn’t sound 
meaty. I’m trying to lose some weight here.” Ash said briefly. “Call them up for me, will ya? I 
feel a little weird today.” “Sure, dad what’s their number?” Stone questioned Ash, but Ash was 
in deep thinking. “Dad, why don’t I have a mom?” Stone inquired. “Well it’s a long story. When 
your mom and I got your sister-“I have a sister? What’s her name?” “Stone, don’t ask so many 
questions. Anyways, I forget what your sister’s name is.” Ash sadly replied. “I remember your 
mother so well.” Ash unexpectedly jerked up from his head-hanging. “What did she look like?” 
Stone quizzed. “She was so beautiful…” “YUCK! You mean like...love?!” Stone twirled his 
head in disgust, but Ash stared into the distance as he had been struck by love. Stone became 
worried that he had to take his dad to a psychologist. In a little while Ash became conscious that 
he was on Earth. “Dad...what was mom’s name?” Stone asked carefully, making sure Ash did 
not fall into his daydream once more.
