Yays! Well, the computer that has the next chapter of AT is being repaired- again- so... yesh. And, I just happen to have the first chapter of TTR up, so I decided to post it. The next chapter of AT should be up by Tuesday, and this should be updated by Friday, if all goes well. :D -shot- Well, I really was excited to start this, so... yesh!
FIC!

It all started with a rainy day in the Hall of Origin.

In a semi-rare occasion, all thirty or so legendaries were gathered around the largest room of said edifice of beginning, since a short Meeting had just passed and no one had bothered to leave. While most of the legendaries could teleport, those who couldn't didn't want to travel into the miserable downpour, especially the fire types like Entei and Moltres, so they were waiting it out. Those that could teleport hadn't left, since this was a good time to catch up with their kin.

"Drop dead!"

… Or, in most cases, curse their counterparts to a horrible, slow and painful demise.

Rayquaza sighed, small claws propping his large head up from the ground as his slitted golden eyes watched his two counterparts with apathy. Groudon, legendary of earth and Kyogre, legendary of water glared at each other, snarls of anger escaping both of their massive maws. While it was the dragon of the sky's job to keep these quarrels from happening, he didn't bother.

"It's your fault it's raining!" The red lizard growled, one massive claw lashing out to point at the blue orca, who only snapped her jaws in reply, wishing she could blast his head off with a Hyperbeam. The assumption was true, of course, the sapphire and white whale was the one who created the rain- but not because she felt like ruining everyone's day. It was spring, and the area around the Hall had to get the promised showers that kept it lush and fertile. But you couldn't assume that Groudon knew that- he only thought about how achy it was making him, and he longed for warm sunlight.

"What?" She taunted, her melodious voice slow and mothering in her usual mocking manner."The great Groudon is afraid of a little water? Would you like an umbrella? Oh, that's right! You can't operate one, now can you?"

Her counterpart only increased the volume of his snarl, attempting to flip her off, only to prove her point when he realized his giant claws could only blunder through the insulting hand gesture. Groudon narrowed his golden eyes, before suddenly brightening so quickly that it caused a look of pure confusion to splash itself across Kyogre's face.

"Hey, Ky." He started, voice too innocent for her comfort. The legendary of the sea twitched one golden eye at the nickname, but let it pass. Rayquaza continued to watch, face still bored. "Let's not fight! Is the room cold?" He suddenly gave a giggle, waving one red claw in the air, amber eyes closing into crescents. "You should be fine with all of that blubber, eh?"

Her golden eyes- which had been wide- suddenly narrowed again, taking on a red glow as she surrounded the pillar of marble in psychic energy right behind her counterpart. Completely oblivious to this, Groudon continued, trying to snort down his giggles. Rayquaza only rolled his own golden eyes, waiting in interest for the beating that was about to take place.

"You know, you should probably be careful, Kyogre! I heard that whale fat is worth a lot of money! For making perfume, I think." The ground type gave a pig-like snort as he tried to keep himself from laughing too loud, should he catch the attention of Giratina or Lugia, "At least you'll smell better than you do n-"

With a grunt- using telekinesis had never been her strong point- Kyogre slammed the massive sculpture of stone onto her counterpart's head, sharp teeth bared in a slightly insane grin as the lizard was cut off from his insult. The crack as stone met red, hard-plated scales echoed throughout the entire room, causing just about every other legend to raise their heads from whatever they had been doing.

"It's just Kyogre and Groudon again." Mesprit muttered, folding her arms in front of her pale blue furred chest as she hovered midair, turning her bored gaze to her golden-headed counterpart next to her. Said Being of Knowledge- who had his face buried on one of his overly long and complicated books- only shrugged his shoulders indifferently at her observation. The pink-headed spirit shook her head, locks fluttering at the motion as she gave an annoyed sigh.

"Can't you do something besides read?" She then inquired, voice sour. "Don't you get bored?"

"No." Uxie replied, voice candid. The simple answer only brought another irritated sigh from his counterpart, who turned her amber eyes to look around at the room. She considered looking for Celebi or Shaymin- as they would no doubt be the source of some entertainment- but her attention was then averted when she spotted two beings near the end of the room, one blue and the other pink. Their huddled shoulders and whispering voices all pointed to the fact that they were conniving something, which was likely, considering it was them. She ignored it, since it would at least be something to muse at later- Mew and Azelf's plans always guaranteed that much.

"Great. Just... great."

Arceus gave an exasperated sigh, tapping one of her golden hooves against the stone panel posed in front of her gold, ivory and ebony throne, brow furrowed and frown deep on her black face. Despite the fact that the Meeting was over, and she had acquitted her legends to leave, she was still at work, looking over the problems in the world. Every now and then one of her creations would approach her with a request, in which she would just give a grunt and wave them away with one paw.

Rayquaza, finally sick of his two counterparts fighting, raised his four horned head and gave an angry hiss, causing Kyogre to stop beating Groundon over the head midhit. "Stop it right now, or I swear I will disembowel both of you while you're still alive." He said very lowly, voice scarily calm. Kyogre gave a low mutter, before dropping her weapon of choice- which smashed her counterpart over the head one last time- before floating off to look for Lugia, leaving Groudon to curse and snarl behind her.

"Damn whale..." The armored lizard growled, claw going to his sore head. "Hope she evaporates."

The emerald dragon of the sky only gave an indifferent snort, before resting his head against the ground again, amber eyes sliding shut as a frown tugged at his mouth. A few yards away, the red eon dragon known as Latias gave a worried frown, turning her gaze to look at her blue and gray brother who was floating beside her.

"Ray's been in such a bad mood, as of late." She said softly, feathered ear twitching out of habit. "Have you noticed?"

Her older sibling only shrugged his gray and blue shoulders, wine eyes rolling as he gave an annoyed huff. "He's probably trying to quit coffee again. The snake without his coffee is like Mew without his candy." Latias raised one paw as if to say something, but then stopped, drawing her claws to her chest again as her glance continued to dart to the brooding emerald dragon. "Forget it. He's not worth worrying about."

The scarlet feathered dragon only gave a sheepish look, in which her brother's stern gaze only intensified. Deciding that it would do no good to start an argument with such an adamant legendary, she very slowly gave a nod. If living with Latios had taught Latias anything, it was that attacking from the front never worked. She'd wait until he was busy. Later.

"No!"

Moltres flinched, lowering his fire-crested head as his counterpart's narrow -very sharp- beak snapped, missing his own beak by an inch. The phoenix then shifted his navy eyes to look up into her glaring brown ones, voice timid as he then repeated: "Please?" He flinched again as she rustled her golden and black feathers, glare narrowing so much that he was surprised his head hadn't exploded yet.

"No." Zapdos said lowly, electricity traveling over her jagged feathers as her wings gave an annoyed flap. Articuno, lifting her own ruby eyes to look at her two counterparts, gave a small sigh, shaking her head in disappointment at their childishness. She was used to it, by now, but sometimes she couldn't help but wonder.

"But it's wet outside and I don't want to go out there and I don't want to be here without my counterparts!" He gushed, blue eyes filled with desperation. Out of the three of them, Moltres was the kindest, the softest and the one that was picked on the most by the thunder bird known as Zapdos. Even then he never snapped at her, as he just didn't have the heart to. Sometimes Articuno wished that he would grow a little spine and at least attempt to earn the electric type's respect. But no, he just wasn't like that.

"Live with it, wimp." Zapdos replied roughly, glare showing no sign of relaxing. "You're such a freakin' wimp."

Moltres only lowered his head again in shame, docile nature preventing him from retorting back just as harshly.

"Come on, Zapdos." Articuno then spoke up, voice gentle, but firm. "We can stay until the rain stops."

The hawk- realizing that she had been outvoted- gave an annoyed mutter, before turning her golden head to look at the ceiling. "What the hell ever. I don't give a crap." She then spat over her wing, obviously angry. The fire type only looked away, flames flickering as his blue eyes drifted to the ground again. His ice typed counterpart, who only gave an indifferent shrug of her shoulders at Zapdos' attitude, made her way to him, not the least bit afraid of his flames.

"Thanks, Articuno..."

A small smile graced her deep blue beak, and she shook her own icy head. "No problem, 'Tres." She said quietly, wing brushing his shoulder in a comforting way. "You need to stick up for yourself..." He only squirmed uncomfortably at the idea. Zapdos had always been the dominate one in their trio, since she had a type advantage against both of them, while Articuno was the only one that had a fair chance. And Moltres, well, Moltres never wanted to hurt Articuno, or anyone for that matter. Even someone as mean as Zapdos.

"I should... but, you know..."

She nodded, "Yeah."

"... so all we have to do is push this button, right?"

Azelf nodded her two-shaded blue head, tails twining and eyes glinting with mischievousness. Her partner in pranking gave a muffled giggle, pink paw going to his snout as he tried to conceal his amusement. While most of the legends were catching up on news, the two best friends were catching up on something even better. Pranking. To them, ruining someone's day was way more important than asking about how it was going.

"And then, kaboom!" Mew's paws went into the air and he collapsed into giggles again, doing a flip midair in glee. The Being of Will's paws went to her own muzzle as she gave an evil chuckle, eyes gracing over their ingenious contraption. "That's how a Meeting's supposed to end!" The two small legendaries exchanged a highfive, and were about to go back to their work when a cough startled them out of their routine.

"Ahem."

The two furred beings jerked their heads to look at the source, eyes widening when they realized that Celebi, Jirachi and Suicune were standing before them, identical looks of irritation on their faces. The North wind stepped forward with one lean paw, headpiece glinting against the light as she then inquired:

"How exactly is a Meeting supposed to end?"

Azelf clasped her paw to her chin, using the other to make a hand gesture to the pink feline next to her. Mew gave a curt nod of his head, blue eyes determined as he slowly started to float backwards, towards the object he and his friend had painstakingly made. Meanwhile, the Being of Will gave a laugh, trying to sound innocent and goodhearted. She had to buy time, just a little.

"Oh, you know. Hot chocolate, talking with old friends, reminiscing on old memories past." One paw waved in the air, while the responsible trio in front of her eyed the blue spirit warily. "Definitely not with an explosion. No, no, no! Why would I waste wonderful social time like that?" Celebi raised a brow, fluttering closer.

"You really expect us to believe that you and Mew aren't up to your usual pranks, Azelf?"

Azelf shrugged, "It was worth a try?"

Suicune gave a sigh, twin tails fluttering despite there being no wind in the Hall "Look, Raikou is hyper off of Pepsi, Cresselia and Darkrai are going to start fighting any second now, and the last thing everyone needs is for one of your childish pranks to go off! Arceus is stressed enough already!" Indeed, as everyone turned their glances to look at the Goddess, they could see her, bent over her ancient panel, hoofs tapping away. "She'll go nuts! She might even kill us!"

"Come on, Azelf..." Jirachi murmured, holding out one pale hand. "Just hand over the explosives and stop before everything goes wrong!"

"Never!" The Being of Will cackled, whipping around. "We shall not be stopped! Mew! The starter!!"

"Got it!" The feline chirped, giant grin growing even broader as he held the small, red object in one equally small paw. Celebi went to zoom forward and tackle her counterpart, but didn't intend for him to toss it to Azelf, who caught it neatly- she loved football and tennis, so her hand (paw?) eye coordination was sublime.

"See? It's easy!" The blue legendary held up the button, which was red with the word 'easy' on it in blocky text. "I thought I'd get something nifty for once! So I got an easy button from Staples! Blowing stuff up? Easy!" She giggled at her own joke, while Jirachi tried to approach her, voice soft like he was trying to coax her away from a cliff. Meanwhile, Suicune groaned, one paw going to her crystalline forehead while she pondered why she even bothered.

"Come on, Azelf..."

"Nuu!"

"You have a problem, Azelf!" The wishmaker said, voice strained with desperation. Said female only clutched the object to her chest, shaking her head back and forth like a child. Celebi, holding Mew by the tail so he couldn't escape, shook her head while the steel/psychic tried to stop the Being. He shouldn't have even bothered, considering that she was the Being of Will. "You need help!"

"Nuu!"

"Azelf!"

Giving one final laugh, Azelf slammed one paw onto the button and the click seemed to echo throughout the entire hall. Out of habit, everyone who had heard the conversation cringed, waiting for the explosion of pudding/jelly/fire/mud/whatever that was bound to come exploding from the ceiling. Yet nothing did. Suicune turned her puzzled ruby eyes to look at Mew and Azelf, who were both giggling like there was no tomorrow.

"Did... you see their faces?!" Mew squealed, voice shrill with laughter.

"... They... were so freakin' scared! Why... didn't... I bring... a camera!?" Azelf replied, having to stop between every word to take a breath. Her lungs were starting to hurt, that's how hard she was laughing. She wouldn't have been surprised if tears started to roll down her face. Meanwhile, Suicune, Jirachi and Celebi just looked completely and utterly dumbfounded at the fact that they weren't covered if chocolate pudding yet.

"Wait... there wasn't going to be an explosion?" Celebi finally asked, wings increasing in speed as she placed her hands on her hips. Mew, wiping a tear from the corner of his baby blue eye nodded, grin permanently stuck to his pink furred face. The guardian of the forest had the sudden urge to punch his lights out, but stopped herself.

"Yep! We didn't have the stuff needed for an explosion... so we did this instead!" He said, voice cheery and watery with amusement. He did a flip upwards, exchanging another highfive with a still giggling Azelf, who tossed the 'easy button' to the ground without a care. "We gotcha didn't we?! Come on! you were so tricked!"

Before any of them could retort or maul the feline and spirit, there came a rumble in the distance, which increased in volume as it seemed to get closer to the Hall. Jirachi shot a glance at the two pranksters, but soon saw that they were just as puzzled. "That's... not you?"

Mew and Azelf hook their heads, both dumbfounded. "Nu-uh. Not this time."

Every single legend had their heads turned to look at the direction of the noise, wary as to what it could be. The aggressive legends- Zapdos, Darkrai, Dialga, etc- were already charging attacks, since they automatically assumed it was an enemy that needed to be killed. The more docile legends- Shaymin, Latias, Manaphy, etc- were edging towards the door, ready to run if they needed to. Arceus even looked up from her work, sea green eyes glinting with curiosity as she tilted her head to the side.

The noise stopped abruptly.

"I guess it was just Groudon's indigestion." Kyogre barked from the other side of the room, which earned a glare from said lizard. Everyone burst into nervous laughter, still shooting glances to the location, but eventually started to relax again. Arceus went back to work, Giratina started yelling at her counterparts again, Registeel did the same, Cresselia and Darkrai continued their argument over what what was better, Pepsi or Coke, and Mew and Azelf exchanged another highfive.

"Heh, it was nothin-"

Zapdos didn't even get to finish her sentence before the wall of the Hall of Origin exploded forward and a rush of cold water- icecubes included- entered the legend-filled room, catching everyone before they could teleport away.

Moltres' wail echoed throughout the Hall of Origin, followed by Manaphy's giggles.

Poor Moltres. Figures he'd get soaked anyways. I'll have the rest of the legends in here next chapter, but I couldn't fit them all in, so... yays? :D Anyhoo, SU out!
