Me-Hey, you guys! I am back with the next chapter of On The Other Side!

May-Yay! You're back!

Drew-Hmph. Whatever.

Me-*sweat drops* Have you gotten grumpy in the past five months I have not seen you?

Mika-*shrugs* That's probably what it is.

May-Lemonheads R 4 Losers does not own Pokémon!

Me-And read on!

May's POV

I sat next to Mika on a rock later that night, tired from all that hunting we did and Drew's annoying remarks and teasing.

"I hate this, Mika..." I trailed off.

"I know you do. But, it's not like as if I wanted our hideout to burn down." Mika said sadly.

Mika pulled the bandana off of my head and she began to comb her fingers through it. As she began to create a French ponytail, I began to speak.

"Doesn't this path look familiar?" I asked.

Mika nodded.

"Come to think of it, you're right." she looked around at the scenery. "I feel like I've been here before." she noted.

Drew stayed silent as he ate some trout that he had cooked on a stick over a fire not too long ago.

"Not really..." he mumbled.

Mika looked at Drew, the fear slowly starting to become evident in her eyes.

"We're heading for the kingdom, aren't we?" she asked.

Drew didn't say anything as he continued to eat. He reached for some water and he drank it.

Mika looked at him fear. Whenever he stayed silent, it meant that he was going to do something that made Mika doubt him.

"Hey, answer her! When someone's asking you a question, then you answer them!" I snapped, annoyed by Drew's quietness.

"This is a conversation between me and Mika. Don't get involved in it, June." he snapped back.

"But Mika is my friend! I can get involved in this conversation if I feel like it!" I growled.

Drew let out an exasperated sigh before rubbing his temples.

"You remind me so much of Adelaide that it's annoying." he grumbled.

I eyed him weirdly once he said that.

"Huh? Who is Adelaide?" I asked myself.

Mika looked at him with sympathy written all over her face.

"Drew, don't bring her up. You know how much that can pain you if you do." she warned.

Drew sighed as he got up from his spot on a log.

"I'm heading to sleep. See you." he said, getting on his crutches and heading off to his tent.

I watched his disappear into the tent and then at Mika, who was biting her lip in uneasiness.

"Mika, I'm heading to my tent. See you tomorrow." I said suddenly.

"Yeah, good night." she said, waving at me as I disappeared into my tent.

I let out a sigh that I didn't know I was holding in and I plopped down on the blanket that I laid on the ground.

"What was that about? The air was so tense..." I trailed off as I closed my eyes and I went to sleep.

"Guys! Incoming!"

I shot up from bed once I heard one of the guys shout that from outside.

"Eh...?" I looked at the tent exit weirdly. "What's going on out there?" I wondered out loud as I got up and I headed out of the tent.

I watched as I saw everyone pull out their weapons as two guys came into view.

The first guy had red and black hair that was in a mohawk with one green eye and one purple eye. He had on a black and red horizontal striped dress shirt with black pants and shoes.

The second guy had spiky green hair that was slicked off to the side with hazel eyes. He had the same thing that the other guy had on, but he had on a black cloak over it.

"Mika!" I ran over to Mika. "What is going on out here?!" I asked.

"Derek and Sam spotted these two guys when they went to go look for some non-poisonous berries. They left Greg and Steven to hold them off so that they could warn us, but it seems to be that these guys managed to get past them." Mika explained.

A guy pointed a spear at the red-black haired guy.

"Who are you and why are you here?!" he hissed.

The green-haired guy laughed like a maniac.

"It's so fun to piss you guys off! I honestly wasn't expecting you guys to survive that fire." he noted.

Drew's eyes widened.

"So you guys did it..." he trailed off.

The green-haired guy laughed again.

"Bahahahahahahahaha! What, were you expecting something else?" he walked over to Drew and lightly touched his cheek. "Aw, is someone mad? Are you gonna blow up on me with your Riza and kill me?" he asked teasingly.

Drew gritted his teeth as he glared at him.

"Fuck off." he growled deeply as a flash of red flickered in his eyes.

Mika slapped the guy's hand away from Drew's cheek.

"Leave him alone, Kalai. You've hurt him too much." she snapped.

My head was beginning to hurt due to how confused I was. First, they mention this Adelaide girl. Now, this Kalai guy comes in and gets Drew uneasy? Not only that, Mika seems to know what's going on, since she's defending him.

Kalai snickered.

"You're such a sweetie, Mika." he pulled her towards him. "You're always protecting Drew like he's your baby brother. But, that's just gonna make him weaker." he hissed onto her lips.

A gun was cocked with the barrel being placed against Kalai's head.

"Enough, Kalai."

Kalai chuckled.

"Ah, well isn't this a surprise...Mister Ashton isn't actually in his drunken stupor." he noted, his zany hazel eyes locking with Ashton's emerald-green ones.

Ashton snarled.

"Don't act smart with me. What the hell are you and Drabin doing here?" he asked with venom in his voice.

"Us? Oh, we're just here to scout the area after your poor little hideout burned down." Kalai explained.

Drew growled as he glared at Kalai, his teeth gritted.

"Why you...!" Kalai gripped Drew's chin and hazel locked with emerald.

"Aw, poor little Drewsie...are you gunna cry? Oh, wait." Kalai's lips twisted into a smirk. "You already did. If our poor little sister didn't die, then you wouldn't be so misera- - -" a punch was delivered to Kalai's face.

"Shut up! We're not brothers anymore!" a scary green aura began to surround Drew, which began to scare me a little.

"This is scary...just what the heck is going on here?" I asked myself.

"Drew! Stop!" Mika raced over to Drew. "Don't do this! Your Riza will get out of control!" she exclaimed.

"Who cares?!" his eyes glowed a blood-red as he looked at Kalai. "We aren't related! Because of you, I lost Adelaide!" he shouted.

"Oooooh, be careful with what you say." Kalai got up from the ground. "We're still related. And by the way, I didn't make Adelaide die. It's all you." he sneered.

Drew's eyes widened in shock as he made his way over to Kalai.

"SHUT UP!" he threw Kalai against a nearby tree and he began to swing punches at the greenhead's face.

"Drew! Enough!" Mika stormed over to the two brawling men and she forcefully pulled Drew off of Kalai. "This is enough! What is in the past is in the past! Kalai, stop bothering Drew. You KNOW your brother has Riza, so why bother him about it?!" she shouted in Kalai's face.

"Hmph! Whatever..." he pushed himself off of the tree and he looked at Drew, nursing his bruised jaw. "But, don't forget: It's all you." Kalai said before walking off with Drabin following from behind.

Drew gritted his teeth while glaring at the back of Kalai's head. Mika had a solemn look on her face as her hands went onto his shoulders, massaging them.

"Drew..." she trailed off.

Drew let out a small growl as he moved himself away from Mika.

"I'm going out for a little bit." he said before walking off, leaving everyone to wonder what had happened.

Mika looked a little stressed as we ate the fish soup that one of the guys had made for us later that night. She brushed some light blue hair away from her eyes as she sighed.

"I'm worried." she stated suddenly.

"Worried? Why?" I asked.

"Drew hasn't come back yet. It's starting to concern me, considering the fact that it is getting dark." Mika explained.

I looked around at the scenery, looking around for any other signs that may signify that it was nighttime. However, there was no signification.

"Um...how exactly is it nighttime?" I asked.

"The sky. When there are more than three stars in the sky, that means that it is officially nighttime." Mika explained.

"Ah..." I trailed off.

The campfire was silent again. All I could hear was the crackle of the fire. Mika decided to break the silence by clearing her throat.

"Go look for him." she spoke.

"Eh?! Why me?! He hates me!" I complained.

"He may hate you, but he'll let you come close to him. For some reason, he doesn't talk to me during these outbursts." Mika noted.

"Huh..." I get up from the ground. "I'll go search for him." I declared before running off in search of Drew.

It had been ten minutes since I went off to find Drew under Mika's orders. So far, I felt like I had been wandering around in circles.

"Ugh...where in the world is Drew?" I asked myself.

I walked through some bushes and I had stumbled upon a lake. It looked peaceful, which I though was weird, considering the fact that this place was not at peace at all.

"A lake..." I trailed off.

I looked to my left and I gasped softly. Drew was sitting not too far away from me. He was staring out at the lake with an unreadable look on his face.

"Drew..." even though his name came out in a whisper from my lips, he heard he perfectly fine. He turned his head and looked at him.

"And just what do you want?" he asked gruffly.

"I...Mika sent me to come get you." I told him.

Drew looked at me before sighing.

"That woman...tell her that I'm not ready to come back yet." he said as he diverted his eyes back to the lake.

"Don't be like that!" I made my way over to him and sat down. "Mika is really worried about you. Everyone is worried about you!" I pointed out.

Drew scoffed.

"And you're saying that you're not?" he asked.

"Huh...?" I blinked my eyes twice, not getting what Drew meant.

Drew let out another sigh.

"You're just like Adelaide...not having a care in the world when you should..." he trailed off.

"Who's Adelaide?" I asked.

Drew stayed silent, possibly contemplating on whether or not he should tell me anything. Before I could open my mouth and say that he didn't have to tell me if he didn't want to, he began to speak.

"Adelaide is my little sister." he said.

"Your sister?" I questioned.

"Yeah. My mom was from Earth and my father is Fantasian. They met when my mother got trapped down here just like you. Thus, they got married after falling madly in love and had three kids: Me, Adelaide, and Kalai." Drew began.

"Kalai? The guy who was here earlier today?" I questioned.

"Yes, him. We had a good childhood. That is, until I had gotten bullied in class one day when I was five. I had then burned him to death on the playground. My mother had gotten worried and called the physician to our home. Turned out that I had Riza, which is a rare disorder in Fantasy."

"Riza is kind of like OCD, I am guessing?" I guessed.

"I do not know what OCD is, but I can guess that it is something like that. It was triggered by strong emotions like hatred and anger. One day, I had gotten into a quarrel with Kalai. It was meant to be playful, but I thought differently. I had set the house on fire and killed my sister and mom. I didn't mean to. I really didn't. But...I just..." Drew sighed before burying his face in his hands.

I shot him a look of sympathy as I pulled him into a hug.

"O-Oi, just what the heck are you d- - -"

"Drew," I rested my head on his. "I'm here for you. So, stop being so alone." I told him.

I could tell Drew wanted to snap back at me, but he relaxed in my arms as he let me hold him until he felt like he was okay.

Me-Holy mama! This chapter is finally done!

"Drew, stop lying to me and tell me where we're going!"

"You little bitch! Don't give me your back talk."

"This place is pretty weird..."

"May, I think that I...I..."
