SUMMARY: What happens when you take a bunch of old friends & put them in a place they haven't been to since they were 10 & became Pokèmon trainers? A great AAMRN! Ash has just become a Pokèmon Master and Mrs. Ketchum decides it's time for her son to settle down for a few years, which means he has to go back to Pallet. Brock & Misty go back to their gyms & try to run their gyms as they used to a few years back. Unfortunately, they're still technically kids & need to be in...school! They meet up at Wishing Waters Academy (a boarding school) with a bunch of old friends they met during their journey & a few enemies they couldn't stand.

Wishing Waters Part 1: The Ghost of Us

   "It's another 'Manic Monday', here on Lucky Channel Radio! It's 7:00 AM & you're jamming with me, DJ Ben! It's finally time for the kids to go back to school!" Misty rolled over & slammed her fist on the snooze button. She was about to close her eyes but remembered something. She groaned. The first day of high school. The sun shined in her eyes & she swung her legs out of bed & trudged to her closet. She fished around in her closet & her fingers touched a powder blue, johnny collar style, short-sleeved shirt. She pulled it on, coming just above her belly button. She found a pair of denim hip huggers & slipped on a Milleni belt. She looked in the mirror & smiled. <If only Ash can see me now...>
   She remembered the dark haired boy she met three years ago. Ash had just became a Pokemon Master over the summer & it was time for the trio to go back to their normal lives. She remembered all the fights they shared over nothing, all the memories, & the pain. She also remembered him calling her "scrawny", but scrawny was about the last thing that described her now. She had matured, curves replacing her once bony body, finally growing out of her "flat-chested" stage.
Her red hair now reached to the middle of her back & she had grown a little taller. She sighed as she brushed her hair, missing the days when she & Ash would argue & end up in a tickling fight.
   "Misty! Hurry up! I have classes at 9:00 & it takes, like, an hour to get there," Daisy (Misty's oldest sister) called.
   "All right." She threw a couple more things in her bags. The last thing she put in her diary was a picture of her & Ash, arms around each other, smiling, doing the "Victory" sign with their fingers. She applied some blush before dragging her suitcases downstairs.
   "Oh, Misty, you're going to love it at Wishing Waters Academy!" Lily helped Misty with her bags. "It's the greatest high school!"
"It's a boarding school. I have a feeling you guys just want to get rid of me for 10 months," Misty muttered wryly.
"Hmmm...that's a plus, though." Lily put down the bags at the bottom of the stairs. Misty groaned & dropped her bags on top of the ones that Lily placed down. She wiped her forehead & walked to the kitchen. She grabbed a bagel & buttered it.
"Misty, we're leaving in like 10 minutes!" Daisy bustled around, fluffing her hair, checking her make up, & stuffing things in her purse.
   "Okay, Daisy!" Misty said.
   "Oooohhh...Mist, I'm gonna miss you!" Violet wrapped her arms around Misty.
   "Yeah...I'm gonna miss yelling at you guys for calling me 'runt'," Misty murmured under her breath, but returned the hug. She continued to eat, all the memories she shared with her sisters flooded into her mind. Even though they didn't get along, she was still going to miss arguing with them. They were the only people she could argue with since she left Ash. Now life would be a living hell at school. She downed a glass of orange juice & ran upstairs to the bathroom to brush her teeth. She squirted toothpaste onto her toothbrush & started scrubbing. <If I only wasn't too afraid to tell you, I might be with you right now> she thought sorrowfully.
"Hey, Misty." Misty jumped & looked around. She almost fainted as she saw
a shadow of Ash standing behind her. 'Ash' put a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry. I'll be floating back into your life very soon..." the 'Ash' said as it dissipated.
   "Ash!" Misty let out a small cry of sorrow. She put her hand on the shoulder that 'Ash' had placed its hand on. Tears formed in her eyes, threatening to spill onto her cheeks. She blinked them back & held a firm face.
<I have to be strong...face it, you're obsessed with him so much, you dream of him coming into your bathroom! He's not coming back, it's time to move on...> she thought, even though she could've sworn it wasn't a dream. "I have to tell someone...I'm going crazy! I'm seeing floating people in my bathroom..." she whispered.
   "Why are you seeing people in the bathroom?" Misty snapped her head around & saw Lily in the doorway.
   Misty opened her mouth to say something, but thought better of it.
"Nothing," she replied & breezed by her sister & stomped away. Lily frowned. She had a feeling that this whole "Ash" infatuation wasn't a crush & Misty hiding it wasn't going to make her feel better.
   "Misty, we have to talk," Lily rushed after her youngest sister who was in her room, grabbing last minute things.
   "About what?" Misty asked, putting lipgloss on her pink lips.
   "Ash."
   Misty felt her blood run cold. She knew that out of all her sisters, Lily knew her the best. She sighed, wishing her sister didn't bring up Ash. "What about that jerk?" Misty said a little more forcefully than she meant to. "I mean, what about him, Lily?"
   Lily rolled her eyes. "Why are you hung up on him? And why don't you tell him?"
   Misty closed her eyes. She couldn't get into this now. So she decided to say what she always said to her sisters when they teased her. "There's no use in telling you my feelings since you guys don't believe me: I DON'T LIKE ASH. It's that simple, okay? Okay."   Misty finished.
   "But Misty--"
   "Bye, Mist!" Violet came in & hugged her sister one more time.
"We're gonna be late!" Daisy called from downstairs.
"Bye, Lily, bye Violet. I'll call you later & I promise to write you guys at least twice a month!" Misty grabbed her purse & ran out of the bathroom, leaving Lily to stare after her.
"Looks like she's going to have to figure this one out by herself," Violet said, standing beside Lily.
"Love you! Write back whenever you can!" Misty called as she headed for the front door.
"Let's hit the road!" Daisy said while jingling the keys in her left hand.

   'Dear Diary,
   Another door closes, one more opens. My journey with Ash is over, but my love for him isn't. I probably sound like some stalker, but I can't help the pain I feel inside when I think of him. Wishing Waters will probably have a million cute guys, but none of them will be the same as Ash.'
   
   Misty scribbled in her diary, cuddled in the back seat of Daisy's 2003 Toyota Corolla. There were drops of water on the page & Misty realized she was crying. Daisy hummed happily to the tune on the radio. She looked in the rear view mirror & frowned. She knew Misty missed Ash, but decided not to say anything about it. "Do you want a tissue? Your make up is running." Daisy handed Misty a box of tissues.
   "Thanks." She knew her sisters could be air headed, but they knew when to keep their mouths shut.
   "This is BBMAK with 'Ghost of Us'," the DJ blared from the car radio.
   

'What am I supposed to do with all these blues
Haunting me everywhere
No matter what I do
Watching the candle flicker out
In the evening glow
I can't let go, when will that night be over

I didn't mean to fall in love with you
And baby there's a name for what you put me through
It isn't love it's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me'

Misty pulled out her picture & more & more tears kept trickling down her cheeks.
<Oh, Ash...if you only knew how I felt before we separated, I wouldn't be crying like this> She wiped her face with a tissue & sighed.

'Seen a lot of broken hearts go sailing by
Phantom ships, lost at sea
Well one of them is mine
Raising my glass I sing a toast to the midnight sky
I wonder why the stars don't seem to guide me

I didn't mean to fall in love with you
And baby there's a name for what you put me through
It isn't love it's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me


The ghost of you and me
When will it set me free
I hear the voices call
Following footsteps down the hall
Trying to save what's left of my heart and soul
Watching the candle flicker out in the evening glow
I can't let go
When will this night be over

I didn't mean to fall in love with you
And baby there's a name for what you put me through
It isn't love it's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me

I didn't mean to fall in love with you
And baby there's a name for what you put me through
It isn't love it's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me

I didn't mean to fall in love with you
And baby there's a name for what you put me through
It isn't love it's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me

I didn't mean to fall in love with you
And baby there's a name for what you put me through
It isn't love it's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me'



   She smiled ruefully, remembering the last time they saw each other at
Ash's victory party. He had worked up enough courage to ask her to dance. They swayed to the song "Ghost of Us", whispering about all of the shared memories.  It was the last dance, the last time they talked. The last time she would have her arms wrapped around his neck...or so she thought. Misty yawned & shut her eyes as she fell asleep.

MEANWHILE IN PALLET

"Trust me, Ash, you're going to love this place! They even have battling fields for tournaments & practice battles!" Mrs. Ketchum assured her 14 year-old son as they drove farther & farther away from Pallet Town and closer & closer to the boarding school Ash would be attending for the next 4 years.
   "Yeah mom," he answered absently. He sat in the passenger's seat of his mom's Honda Civic, thinking about all that happened to him in the past 3 years.
<It's time to move on> he told himself, but he couldn't let his feeling for
Misty just pass him by. He missed his chance to tell her. She was right there, in his arms. He recalled the night they were swaying to a slow song on a vacant balcony far from the crowd. They were laughing at the memories of the past, at how young & carefree they were. At how much they weren't prepared to say goodbye to each other forever. He was so close to her, it made him shiver inside. He was about to say those three little words when he noticed Misty's three sisters were standing on the balcony, watching them. Instinctively, they broke apart & blushed. Just before they left, they hugged & said goodbye.
   "Ash, there are other fish in the sea." Mrs. Ketchum looked at Ash briefly before shifting her gaze back to the road. "If anything, you & Misty can write to each other, or visit." She let out a small sigh.
Ever since Misty left, Ash had been in a daze. Mrs. Ketchum missed Brock &
Misty, since they had been like children to her. Sure, she broke down in tears when she thought of them too much, but Ash...he didn't show any emotion at all.
It kind of gave Mrs. Ketchum the feeling that Ash wasn't human, but she knew that two of his best friends leaving him was extremely hard on him. She almost regretted forcing Ash to settle down, but she knew it was for the best. She glanced quickly once more at her black haired son.
Ash noticed this & sighed. "Mom, I'll be fine. Stop analyzing me like I'm some science project," he said a little more forcefully than he meant to.
Mrs. Ketchum looked sharply at him. <Hormones> she thought & diverted her eyes back to her driving. Ash sighed unhappily & pulled out his CD player. He put in a CD that Misty burned for him before they separated.

'Baby set me free,
From this misery,
I can't take it no more.
Since you ran away,
Nothing's been the same,
Don't know what I'm living for.
Here I am, so alone,
And there's nothing in this world I can do...

Until you're back here baby
Miss you, want you, need you so.
Until you're back here baby, yeah.
There's a feeling inside,
I want you to know,
You are the one & I can't...
Let you go.

So I told you lies,
Even made you cry,
Baby I was so wrong.
Girl I promise you,
Now my love is true,
This is where my heart belongs
Here I am, so alone,
And there's nothing in this world I can do...

Until you're back here baby
Miss you, want you, need you so.
Until you're back here baby, yeah.
There's a feeling inside,
I want you to know,
You are the one & I can't...
Let you go.

And I wonder...
Are you thinking of me?
Cause I'm thinkin of you,
And I wonder...
Are you ever coming back in my life?

Cause here I am...so alone...
And there's nothing in this world I can do...

Until you're back here baby
Miss you, want you, need you so.
Until you're back here baby, yeah.
There's a feeling inside,
I want you to know,
You are the one & I can't...

Until you're back here baby
Until you're back here baby
Until you're back here baby
There's a feeling inside,
I want you to know,
You are the one & I can't
Let you go.'

   As the song ended, Ash was in a deep sleep. Little did he know, not seeing Misty would be the least of his problems once he arrived at Wishing Waters Academy.



"Misty, we're here!" Misty awoke with a start & looked out the window. She saw a gigantic school that had to be 250 times the size of four, no, eight football fields grouped together. Teenagers were walking around, talking & moving trunks into suites. Misty felt like a nine year-old girl in the world of an adult. Daisy pulled into a parking spot near a building that said 'Office'.
"Do you want me to go with you Misty?"
   "Nah...I'll be all right." Misty got out of the car & slung her knapsack over her shoulder. She dragged her trunk with one hand & carried a duffel bag, suitcase & purse with the other. "Bye, Daisy! I'll write you guys," Misty bid her sister good bye.
   "Take care of yourself, Misty! And be safe-especially around the boys!"
Daisy smiled & drove off. Misty rolled her eyes & watched after Daisy's car until it was out of sight.
   "Well, this is it..." She opened the door & walked in.

   "Welcome to Wishing Waters Academy, Mr. Ketchum."
"Thanks." Ash dragged his bags from the secretary towards his dormitories. RIP!!! He looked down & his duffel bag had ripped open. "Oh, man," He groaned.
   "Here, let me help." A girl that had been in line behind him took out a few safety pins from her purse. She pinned his duffel bag together & handed the bag back to him.
   "Thanks." Ash looked at the girl. She had auburn colored hair & a tight blue shirt wit a pair of jeans. He looked at her sparkling aquamarine eyes & automatically recognized her. "Misty?!"
   She looked at him, confused. Then her eyes locked onto his & began to glitter with happiness. "Ash? Is that you?" Her lips broke into a smile. "It is you!"
   "Misty!" He dropped his bags & wrapped his arms around her in a huge bear hug. "How have you been! You've grown a lot in the past two months."
   "So have you..." Misty was surprised. She actually had to look up to see Ash's face. <And to think this morning I was thinking I'd never see him again...> She thought as she hugged Ash again. After a few more questions & exclamations at how much they've both grown, they headed towards their freshman dormitories.
   "What's your schedule?"
   Ash looked at the paper clutched in his fist. "Umm...British Literature,
Math, Gym, Chemistry, Lunch, Grammar, History, Computer. How about you?"
   "Let's see...British Literature, Math, Gym, Chemistry, Lunch, Grammar,
Computer, & History. And according to this map, the girls' dormitories should be right...here." They stopped in front of a large building that resembled a bunch of little apartments.
   "And right across the street are the boys' dormitories," Ash observed.
   "Why don't we go in & unpack & meet back out here in a half hour?"
   "Sure. Then we can tour the school & get to know some people."
   "Okay it's a date!" Misty kicked herself mentally immediately. <'It's a date'? How much more pathetic can you get without humiliating yourself to the point of no return?> Misty hid her blush by turning her back to Ash & hurrying to the building as fast as she could with a trunk, suitcase, duffel bag & purse.
   "Sure..."Ash was confused by the remark, but ever since he met Misty, he was confused by girls, including one as mysterious as Misty. He shrugged & carried his things into the boys' dormitories.

   "301, 302, 303...304!" Misty pulled out the key that the secretary gave her & opened the door. She looked around & saw a small room with a cough & armchair. She walked in & observed a little kitchen with a small fridge & microwave, sink, cabinets, & a small table with two chairs. She continued through a small hallway with two rooms at the end. She opened one & saw that her heavier luggage had been moved to her room. There was a bathroom with a tub, sink & toilet that connected to her roommate's room. She decided to check out the room before her roommate found her snooping around. She put her stuff on her bed & gently slid the door open.
   "Mmm...Mmm...Mmm" Misty froze as she saw two people on the bed, making out.  
"You know you like it, babe," the guy said in a husky voice. Misty saw the guy slipping his hand up her skirt, so she cleared her throat. The two sprung apart. The guy gave the girl a quick kiss & ran out of the room, zipping his pants up & pulling on his shirt as he ran.
   "Um...hi. This must be the most weirdest way I've met anybody before."
Misty nodded her agreement. " You must be my new roommate." The girl got off the bed & was smiling, embarrassed.
"Yeah." Misty answered.
"Okay, since we're roommates, let's settle a few ground rules. I don't like goody-too shoes. Number 2, I need my privacy." She got off the bed & smoothed her bluish/violet hair.
   "Hey! I'm not the one breaking rules & making out with my boyfriend IN A
DORM ROOM!" Misty retorted, patches of pink appearing on her cheeks. "Now if you don't mind, I'm going to unpack & meet up with Ash."
   "HE IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND!" She paused, & then said as an afterthought. "Did you say 'Ash'? Ashy-boy is here?"
   " 'Ashy-boy'?" There were only 2 people on this earth that called Ash that, and she knew Gary didn't have a pair of tits. "Duplica? Is that you?"
   "Misty?! Oh my God, it is you! Sorry about biting your head off back there, but whenever people make cracks about me & Jared like that, I get a little defensive. I mean just because we knew each other when we were friends doesn't mean we're involved or anything like that."
   "Whatever..." <Just like I did when people teased me about Ash...> "Who was that geek?"
   "Jared. He has a twin brother & his name's Troy. They're juniors."
   "A junior was making out with you?"
   "Let's see...Giselle's in junior year, Lasselle, Giselle's sister, is a freshman, Erika's a senior, Kara is a sophomore, Laurel's a sophomore, Sabrina's a senior, Melody--"
   "Ugh...not her..."
   "You don't have to hate her just because she hit on Ash-boy." Duplica smirked, tossing her hair over her shoulder.
   "I don't hate her because of that! It's just that...she's annoying."
   "Sure. Anyways, Melody's a freshman. There are a bunch of other people you have to meet!"
   "I have to unpack then go meet Ash. When did you get here? You seem to be an expert about this place."
   "I got here yesterday. We took a tour around & it's like another home to me. And why are you so focused on meeting Ash all of a sudden?" Duplica raised an eyebrow. Misty gave her a look of pure venom. "Uhh...Okay...we'll sit together at lunch! Remember, we have half hour classes so you have to be back here by 9:45 to pick up your books."
   "Yes, mother." She paused. "What are you going to do?"
   "Me? I'm going to go talk to Jared. See ya!" she started for the door.
"Ditto, you might come in handy." She grabbed a Pokeball off the dresser. "Bye Misty! I think Erika & a few others are around here somewhere..."

   "Hey, look, it's Mr. Pokemon Master!" a boy jeered at Ash as he traveled through the halls of the boy's freshman dorms.
   "Let's give him a Master's welcome!" A senior with brown/copper hair & hazel eyes approached him. "Let's battle!"
   "Sorry. I have to meet up with someone. Maybe later...?"
   "Name's Rudy. Don't you forget that name, punk!" He said forcefully, towering over Ash by nearly a foot.
   "Rudy...Trovita Island, Rudy?"
   Rudy looked down at him, cutting his eyes. "Ketchum? Is that you? How did a wimp like you become a Master?"
"I beat you, if you don't remember."
"I still remember you...and you were the dork-Misty-felt-sorry-for-&-left-me-for-out-of-pity! Now it's time to feel my pain, bastard."
   "I'd rather not." Ash tried to walk past him, but Rudy blocked him.
   "You don't have a choice."
   "All right, if you must go through with this pain & embarrassment, I'm happy to oblige." Ash sighed & set down his things on a bench. He stood, awaiting Rudy's attacks.
"HI-YAH!" Rudy threw his most powerful right jab straight at Ash's face. Ash easily brushed his fist away. Rudy tried again & tried his fiercest roundhouse. Ash just caught his foot & threw him to the ground. Rudy was so frustrated, he let out a war cry & attempted a flying jump kick. Ash just moved out of the way, leaving Rudy to crash to the floor.
"What, you're too chicken to fight me?" Ash sighed & knew he would regret beating him up, but this kid was asking for it. He let loose with a right jab, left jab, right uppercut & a final left roundhouse. Rudy took every hit & flew into a wall, slid down it, & hit the floor with a dull thud. He rubbed his knuckles. <All that training with Bruno actually paid off> Ash thought, looking at his handiwork.
   "Anyone else want to be taught a lesson?" All the boys looked at Ash with wide eyes, & at one of the strongest seniors in school who had been beaten up by a mere freshman. "I take that as a no." Ash continued to his room, luggage in hand.
   "Okay here's...566, 567, 568...569! Home sweet home," he muttered as he opened the door. There was a coffee table, couch, & a 24-inch TV. He walked in a little bit more & saw a small kitchen with a fridge, table with 2 chairs, microwave, toaster, sink, & cabinets. There was a corridor with a bathroom, linen closet & two bedrooms. He opened the one at the end of the hall & looked around. <This will have to do> He threw his suitcase on the bed & dragged his trunk to the foot of his bed. He opened up his luggage & began unpacking.
   "No way! Ash?" Ash spun around & saw Gary standing in the doorway.
   "GARY? WAAAAAAAHH!" Ash sweat dropped at the sight of his rival.
   "Hey! Guess we're roomies!"
   "Guess so..." Ash wasn't so wild about the idea.
   "Don't worry. I've accepted that you beat me in the League. Otherwise I would've pounded the stuffing out of you by now."
   "Uhh...that's comforting. Where do we grab a bite to eat in this place?"
   "Gee, I don't know...Maybe at lunchtime at 12:00? You missed breakfast already. Come on, we gotta tour this place! Classes start at 10 & that leaves us about an hour to get to know this place."
   "Sorry, Gary. I gotta meet Misty. I promised her we'd explore together."
   "So let's take her with us! "Who knows? Maybe I can pick up a chick!" Gary dragged Ash out of the room & towards the girls' dorms.
   "Maybe we should get into uniforms before we go."
   "All right, all right. Let's hurry, though."
   Ash & Gary spent a half-hour trying to get their ties on. The looked in the mirror before they left & saw how un-neat they looked. Ash's black hair was spiky & unruly without his old league hat, but it wouldn't stay down, no matter how hard they tried. Gary's brown hair was the same, sticking out in all ways imaginable. So they spent another 10 minutes to brush out all the knots out of their hair so it didn't look quite as messy. They took a final look in the mirror.
   "Whoa...is that me? Who knew I could look so good in a tie & slacks?" Gary admired his appearance.
   "Wow..." Ash murmured. He didn't know that he could look so...professional. He & Gary wore powder blue button down shirts with collars & the long sleeves rolled up, un-tucked, a tie, baggy black slacks, & shiny polished shoes.
   "Okay, fashion show's over. We gotta get rolling." Gary said, snapping Ash out of his thoughts.
   "Right." Ash grabbed his black jacket & followed Gary out of the dorm room.

   "Hey. Excuse me, Miss? Can you tell me where room 304 is?" Gary approached a girl with shoulder length black hair, a red headband, rosy cheeks, flaring green eyes, & clad in Wishing Waters uniform (which consisted of a navy blue culottes & a powder blue button down shirt with a collar). She was sitting in the hallway on the floor, reading a textbook.
   "Sure. It's down that hall. Make a left, go up two flights of stairs, & it's on your right." She stood up & closed her book studied the two for a moment. "You two seem familiar. I think you might've been challengers back at the gym."
   "Erika!" Ash recognized the grass gym leader that had attended his Pokemon
Master party a few months back. She & Misty had really hit it off & as a result,
Brock & Ash had become friends with her, too.
   "Ash? Hi! And Gary!" Gary blushed as she said his name. "I remember you from the party & from our gym battle a couple of years ago. I watched you in the
League. I figured you would come out on top, but Ash here beat you to it! Don't worry there's always the Johto League!" Erika added as Gary began to look crest fallen. "How are you two doing?"
"I'm fine, aside from the fact we have to wear ties & these pants don't breathe whatsoever."
"Ditto. You seem a lot more...uhh..." Gary stuttered at her beauty.
   "More what?" Erika gave him a puzzled glance.
   "..." Gary couldn't form a sentence, so he stood, goggling idiotically.
   "Don't mind Gary," Ash said as he & Erika sweat dropped.
   "Can you show us around school? We're kind of exploring it." Gary covered up his moment of stupidity.
   "Well, you can't tour the girls' dorms. It's against the rules for you guys to be here, anyway. Trying to pick up some girls & have a one-night stand,
I presume." Erika said slyly.
   "WHAT?!" The two boys gave the green-eyed girl an astonished look.
   "That's pretty steep for two mere freshmen."
   "WAAAAAAH! We're waiting for Misty, not trying to pick up girls." Ash paused then said, "Well, we're waiting to pick up Misty, but it doesn't mean we're trying to pick up girls. Well, Misty's a girl, & we are picking her up...Awww, you know what I mean."
   Erika giggled. "Misty's here?"
   "Yeah. I'm right here." Misty came down the hall, purse on her shoulder.
She was also wearing her uniform, a navy blue culottes & the powder blue shirt accented her exhilarating eyes & beautiful hair. Ash couldn't help but admire her. She was more gorgeous than he ever remembered. She looked so much older & contented as she walked down the hall, waist length hair swishing around as she walked.   "Erika! I didn't believe Duplica when she said you were here."
   "Hey, Misty! It seems like it's been forever," Erika said as she hugged the red head. The two exclaimed at how much they had changed & what was new in their lives. They talked about make-up, Pokemon, & fashion. They talked about a hell of a lot more, but the author decided to cut most of it out because she didn't want to bore her readers :).
   "Can we please go now?" Gary tapped his foot impatiently.
   "Fine. Let's go to the Cafeteria first. Then we can go to the battling fields."
   "Lead the way, mademoiselle," Gary said, holding out his arm for Erika to hold on to.
   "Uhh...let's take this step by step. You're freshman scum. No offense, but to be seen with freshmen at the beginning of the school year is kinda...how should I say...kind of a bad reputation for us seniors."
The three 14 year-olds blinked. "You'll understand when you're seniors," Erika said, dismissing the subject as she lead the group of unsuspecting teens towards their first stop.
   

So, here are our heroes, put in a place they hoped to never go to. I hoped ya liked it, cuz I'm making another part! Flames? Compliments? Suggestions? Ya know how 2 reach me well this is me, sayin l8r!
**the next part is going to be considerably longer than this 1**
