Paul's eyes blazed with anger. "We were attacked, almost killed, found out you girls have superhuman powers and you are offering to throw a party?"
May cleared her throat. "I guess this would be a bad time to mention that I still need ten dollars from Drew..."
Drew gave May a death glare. "Why the he-"
"Crepe."
"-would you bring that up now!"
"What's happening? TELL US!" Gary demanded.
"Hold your cheese," Kat said from the top of the fridge, while munching on an apple. "Once Norman gets here, we'll explain everything. For now, you guys are just gonna have to wait quietly."
Silver slammed his hands down on the kitchen table. "We almost died and you want us to wait quietly?"
"Yes." the Maple sisters replied in unison.
"Misty, this is a joke, right?" Ash asked.
Misty looked at the gluttonous boy with sad eyes. "Sorry, Ash, but this is no joke. We came here because of a mission..."
"Double mission, actually." Kat interrupted.
"Kaitlin, hardly the time to mention that."
Everyone turned to the door. "Sorry, Norman," Kat then jumped off the fridge. "What do you think we should do? We could always give them tablets to forget this, or we can tell them the truth."
"Why don't we just tell them the truth, then give them the tablet?" Dawn muttered.
"Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of telling them then? They'd just forget afterwards." Leaf said.
Dawn puffed her cheeks out. "Well, I just think that they have a right to know before they would forget."
"But they'll just end up forgetting after! There's no point!" Leaf glared.
"But we should at least have the decency to tell them what's going on! It's our assassin code, remember?" Dawn screeched.
POP!
The two sisters looked over to see Kat with a bored expression on her face. She continued to chew some gum that appeared out of no where. "Well, while you two Slowpokes were having a scream off, May, Dad, Mist and I already explained the situation."
Dawn and Leaf pouted. "Not faair! I wanted to help explain!" the bluenette whined.
May rolled her eyes. "Quite pouting, miss pouty pants. We got a code red on our hands."
Dawn glared at her sister as the two engaged in a staring contest.
Misty sighed. "Norman, should we take them to headquarters? We could always do something like in Princess Protection Program."
Dawn immediately turned to Misty and blinked. "Can I do the make-over? Huh? Huh? Huh!"
"There is no way in hell I am getting a make-over!" Silver growled.
"...Crepe."
Silver sent the bluenette a death glare.
"Girls, I think we should let them remember for the time being. You will be on patrol 24/7. If that doesn't work out, we will bring them back to headquarters." Norman said after a moment of silence.
"Are you sure, Norman?" Misty asked.
"Yes. They will stay in your dorm for the time being. Please prepare sleeping areas for them and go to bed. You all have school tomorrow." he replied, rubbing his nose. The girls saluted to their father and he left.
May groaned. "We haven't even been to our first day of school yet, and the mission is already a code red? This sucks!"
"Being a top assassin has it's ups and it's downs. Shut up and go to bed." Leaf rolled her eyes and threw a pillow at the red loving brunette.
As soon as the boys were asleep, the girls looked at each other and sighed. They grouped together and sat in a circle in Kat's room. "So, Mist, you got the tablets?" Dawn whispered.
She nodded and pulled out a plastic baggy. "They have enough powder in them so they'll forget what happened these past few days. That means no mentioning the shopping trip, no mentioning completely destroying them in a battle, and that means no mentioning the ten dollars," Misty shot a look at May, who scowled. "Leaf, you go get their extra room set up, and we'll give them the tablets. After that, we'll all move them to their new room. Any questions?"
"Does this mean we can't tease May about her kiss with Drew?" Dawn asked, raising her hand up.
May blushed deeply. "Especially that, Dawn. Mist, can I win in a new bet with Drew so I can still get ten dollars from him?"
Leaf rolled her eyes. "Whatever, we just have to make sure we stay away from them as much as we can. We can't let them get close again."
"Everyone understand the plan?" Kat asked. Her sisters nodded. "Alright, break!"
They dispersed quickly, four going back down the stairs, Leaf exiting through the window.
Kat stared at the sleeping figure of Silver and sighed. "Shame, it was kinda fun hanging around them, too."
Her sisters nodded as they each shoved a pill down their throat, making sure they swallowed them afterwards. Kat called out her Ampharos to pick Silver up, May her Blaziken, Misty had her Psyduck use psychic, Dawn had her Ambipom carry Paul, and Leaf, who quickly came back, had her Bayleef use vine whip to carry Gary.
After each boy was placed in their house, which Leaf had quickly replaced in the spot where their old place used to be, they finally got to have their sweet, sweet sleep.
Except for Leaf, who decided that they still needed to switch watch every hour. She sighed as she roamed around in the house that was an exact replica to the blown up old house of the boys. They had managed to take all their important belongings, such as their pokemon, out before the place was blown up, so that was a start. It would be sad if they had to get along with brand new pokemon because their old ones were demolished in a fire.
Leaf spent most of the time downstairs, although she went up to check on the boys numerous times.

Dawn yawned and stretched her arms over her head. She rubbed her eyes, pulling herself out of her comfy bed, and walked over to her walk in closet, where her uniform was hanging, in perfect crisp condition. She took it and lay it on her bed before grabbing a light pink towel and went to take a shower.
The hot water felt nice on her body after a hard night. She had woken up numerous times, wondering if it was her turn to watch the boys. Dawn had also laid in bed, wondering how things would turn out, after giving the tablets to the boys as Norman signalled to them before he left.
She slipped on her uniform, buttoning up her blazer perfectly and tying her ribbon perfectly, before blow drying her dark blue hair.
Dawn heard a crash from down the stairs, and rolled her eyes. It could only be May, drowsy and more clumsy than usual, looking in the fridge for something to eat. It was only a matter of seconds before she woke up Kat from her deliciously peaceful sleep to get her to make her some breakfast. Then, Kat would somehow knock May out and make food for everyone anyways.
Just a typical morning for the Maples, when they weren't on mission mode.
Dawn looked at herself in the mirror and nodded. "Perfect." She grabbed her messenger bag and walked downstairs, where she met Misty and Leaf, fanning May's head while eating chocolate chip pancakes.
She giggled and sat on a spinning chair in front of the counter. Kat looked at her and grinned, flipping a raspberry pancake. "These ones are for you Dawn. Someone wake up May before her pancakes get cold."
Leaf sighed. "May, you two dozen pancakes are ready!"
The brunette shot up, ran to the counter, and pushed Dawn out of her seat. "Outta my way, Princess! Mama's got some pancakes to demolish. I'm starving!"
Dawn rolled her eyes and placed herself onto the chair beside the gluttonous brunette. Kat handed Dawn her freshly made pancakes. "Thanks Kat!" Dawn grinned, cutting into the pancake instead of just picking it up and shoving it in her mouth like the girl beside her. She then looked down. "So, we gotta make sure that the boys don't know that we know them, huh?"
Misty sighed and put a hand on her shoulder. "It's for the best. For now, we're just going to have to go on stake-out mode. Anyways, It's like the first day we actually met them, on Saturday."
Leaf laughed. "Saturday, huh. We've only known them for two days and it's already gotten this serious."
May shrugged, taking a second off before inhaling the rest of her pancakes. "You never know, they could have just been testing out their bodyguards' strength to make sure they had enough power to actually obtain what they wanted."
"Anyway," Kat started, tying the yellow bow on her uniform, "Try your best not to interact with the assignments. We can't risk anything more than we already have, you know. We can't afford to fail this."
Her sisters all nodded, looking at the ground in silence. Dawn frowned. "Guys, we can't be down right now! We haven't even come close to failing yet! Let's be depressed when that actually happens, kay? In the meantime, we have school. Let's go!"
XoXo
Leaf was a little nervous. It was strange for her, considering that her missions barely made her nervous, but being a new student at a school shouldn't. She had killed many people in the past, come close to near death experiences numerous times, and had been injured more than enough. So, why was one measly day of the start of school making her nerves go haywire?
Unconsciously, Leaf grabbed Misty's hand. The red head looked at her sister and squeezed her hand reassuringly. All of the Maple sisters were nervous. Kat reached over and grabbed Misty's other hand, and grabbed Dawn's left hand. Dawn reached over and grabbed May's. They looked at each other and smiled. "Enter as sisters?" May asked.
Each Maple grinned and nodded. "Sisters forever. Let's get this nightmare over with. Together." Leaf said.
Kat giggled. "It's the first day of school, not the end of our lives."
Dawn giggled as well. "You're right. Alright, my Maple honeys. Let's go!"
Leaf opened the door and walked in, tugging Misty, along with the rest of the Maple sisters. Whispering started as soon as Leaf was in view, now that all the sisters were in the room, the whispering had gotten louder and more rushed. They walked over to the teacher and smiled. Solidad was waiting patiently for the five girls to stand in front of the board.
"Alright, class. Quiet down, I'm going to introduce you all to our new students." Solidad glanced at the sisters and winked. "Also, I should let you know that the Academy allows each student to have one pokemon out at all times if they really wish. Please write your name on the board and do a small introduction."
Before they introduced themselves, each girl sent out their Eevee evolution, which were previously stored in their pouches. Leaf took the chalk and wrote her name down beside her, before handing it to Misty. Misty did the same and handed the chalk to the shortest Maple, Kat did the same, until the chalk was finally passed to May, who wrote her name down in big letters. She put the chalk down and they all turned back to the front simultaneously.
"My name is Leaf Maple, grass trainer. Ranked as a Suicune, and this is my partner, Leafeon."
Solidad nodded and looked at Misty. "Misty Maple, water trainer. Ranked as Suicune, and this is Vaporeon. Mess with me or my sisters, and I'll make sure you won't see the daylight of tomorrow."
Kat sweatdropped. "Wow, subtle Misty." She turned to the class. "Kat Maple, mostly electric trainer. Coordinator, and ranked as Raiku. This is my buddy, Jolteon."
Dawn grinned. "Hiya! The name's Dawn Maple, all type coordinator. I'm a Raiku and this is Aireon!"
"May Maple, all around types, but favourite is fire. Coordinator, ranked as Entei. This is my partner, Flareon." May smiled, then glanced at Solidad, who nodded.
"Any questions for the Maple sisters?" Almost immediately, most of the class shot up their hands. "Leila."
A black haired girl stood up. "Where did you guys come from before you came here?"
The sisters exchanged looks. "Petalburg."
A girl with bleach blonde stood up next. "How can you even tolerate being near a Entei?" The whole class shifted their eyes to May. Small bits of electricity was sparking from Kat's fingertips. "I mean, they're so useless and stupid."
Kat glared a glare that would make you wish you weren't born at the blonde haired girl, and took a step forward. "Say that again. I dare you." The whole class seemed unsettled at the shortest Maple's glare. She walked up to the bleach blonde haired girl and put her face in front of hers. "I said: Say it again."
Before anything else could happen, Solidad intervened. "Alright, Kat, you can sit over by Shade. Dawn, sit next to her. May, you can sit behind them next to Leila. Misty and Leaf will sit in front of Kat and Dawn in between Reagan and Richie."
Dawn went up to her blonde sister and pulled her over to their seats. The rest of the Maples sat in their spots, glad it was in the perfect place to watch the boys.
"Alright, today we'll be working on some contest appeals. Tomorrow we will be working on battle strategies. We will switch every day, so Battlers and Coordinators, don't fret, you'll all get your chance to shine." Solidad continued.
Kat sighed and started writing notes, already knowing everything Solidad was saying. She had trained with the pink haired woman with Dawn and May for years. Of course they would know everything she was explaining!

May groaned. Physical Education was probably her least favourite, but easiest class. She and her sisters had been stalking their assignments all through the lunch break, and finally was in the last period of the day. They had managed to avoid contact with them, although they did catch a few curious glances sent towards them from the guys. Ash had even tried to talk to Misty, but she had quickly made up an excuse and left to her sisters, leaving him behind.
Each Maple sister was wearing black shorts and a tank top of their respected colors.
Misty's smirk just grew wider and wider when they were told that they were going to play dodge ball. She absolutely adored the game, mainly because it was one of the games she would always win when she was up against her sisters. She glanced at Ash, who looked like an excited puppy. She quickly looked away when he glanced at her.
"Alright, girls and boys line up across from each other," Lt. Surge announced. He began pointing at the students and telling them to go to one side of the gym or the other. "Maple, left."
"Which one?" the five asked in unison.
Lt. Surge glanced at them all. "Uh, all of you. Why not?"
The each shrugged and walked to the left side of the gym. "Remember, not to much power. We can't give ourselves away." Leaf whispered. "Especially Misty. She's a powerhouse and that's bound to make some people suspicious."
Misty pouted. "Okay, I'll down a little on my strength and accuracy!"
Dawn raised an eyebrow. "A little?"
"Fine. A lot." Misty sighed. She then scanned the other team. "Looks like we're up against our assignments."
Kat cracked her knuckles. "This is going to be fun!"
May grinned. "I'm going to earn my ten dollars now." She walked over to the chartreuse haired boy.
Leaf shook her head in disbelief. "That girl."
After a couple minutes, May came back to her sisters, who all raised an eyebrow. May grinned and held up her thumb in victory. "We better win this one guys!"
"You heard the glutton, Mist." Dawn giggled, running to the wall, placing her foot against it. Her other teammates followed, getting ready to start the game. "Let's win this one!"
HOLY BEJEEBER CRAPOLA AMAZING-NESS!
Yeah, I updated.
And alive.
I guess I'll just go at my own pace, slowly getting back into things. I'm determined to finish at least one story at a time.
Please wait until then~
