***AUTHORESS NOTES***

Sorry if it seems like I'm updating too much today, but I'm trying to
get the majority of my characters in here before BIC's.

I just realized something... As of June 28th, I'll have been here at TPT
for three whole years! Wow, I feel old. That's scary.

Random story fact: Jenn hates all Cricket phones, as you learn in the
redone chapter of "Team Rocket Strikes Back". She has a Verizon Wireless
and thinks Cricket phones are pieces of crap.

Chapter 10: A Little Something Scary at the Fair-y

      "Quick, duck!" I hissed at Nathan. We dropped behind a beach
chair, just as a young trainer looked our way. "That was close... Now
run!"

     We were trying to avoid all trainers that day. It was the same day
we had battled Brawly, and we decided we had worked hard and deserved to
relax. 

     Nathan and I made it to Slateport Market in one piece and we
discovered something new on the other side of town.

     "Nathan, look, it's a carnival! We have to go!" I wheedled. 

     "Let's go tonight! When it's not so hot out and the lights are on,"
he suggested and I quickly agreed. I just wanted to go. But wait...
Wasn't it night when all the couples went to these things? I really
needed to stop thinking...

     So we hung around for most of the day, until about 7:00PM and then
we left. It was kind of crowded, but it wasn't chaos or anything.

     After we got off the Tilt A Whirl, I spotted the cheesiest thing at
the carnival (besides the cheese booth, naturally).

     "Hey, we should go get our fortunes told," I said, grinning
wickedly at a fortune telling booth clearly in view. Nathan gave me a
skeptical look. I pulled him in the direction of the little tent. "Come
on, Nathan, it will be fun!" 

     There was no one in the tent except for an older woman, sitting at
a table with nothing on it. "So you want to have your futures told?" she
asked us. We nodded. "Sit down," she ordered and I guessed that she was
previously a military dictator. 

     She grabbed my hand then and looked at it. She looked from my hand
to my face and back again, before she spoke. "You have seen a lot of
pain in recent years and you feel very threatened," she started and I
was surprised that she knew all that. "You have a big history with
romance, not always good. There is someone in your life that you may
think of only as a source of comfort, but he may actually be everything
you are looking for." 

     And I gasped, realizing who she was talking about as my "source of
comfort who may be everything I was looking for". It was the boy sitting
right next to me. And she knew it too, as she grabbed his hand to read
his story. 

     "You have always felt very bored with your life, as it is
uneventful and typical. There is someone in your life that makes things
exciting and you realize you may have fallen in love with her somewhere
along the way. You know you may be risking yourself to stay by her side,
but you know it will be worth it."

     I gasped again, realizing that she WAS talking about me, whether
Nathan knew it or not. I'm pretty sure he did, as he's not all that
stupid.

     "That was strange," I commented as we walked out of the tent.

     "I know!" Nathan exclaimed. "When she was reading your future
thingy, I felt she was talking about me!"

     "I thought she was talking about me when she read yours!" 

     "Crackeaded old people," Nathan muttered. "Like we'd ever go out! I
can't even picture it!"

     "I can," I volunteered unexpectedly. Damn my big mouth. "But you're
right, it's not like it'd ever happen. Right?"

     "Right," he said, but he sounded unassured. "Do you want to go back
to the Pokemon Center now?

     "Yeah, sure. Why not? INNW?"

     "You listen to the radio way too much. That 'if not now, when?'
thing is retarded and off a Doritos commercial."

     "I know," I said innocently. "I'm just glad we don't have to share
a room. You snore."

     "I am too. Having you near me gave me Beautiflys in my stomach all
night. I dreamt about you, you know."

     "I told you to get over me," I joked. 

     "I can't help myself," Nathan joked back. 

     "You better learn to," I told him.

     "You're hilarious," he said sarcastically.

     "I know. Did you really dream about me?"

     "No, I just needed to be sarcastic."

     "I was serious when I told you that you snored."

     "Crap!"
