Romance 101, Chapter 3, pt 1

Oct 10, 2011 12:01

Note: And in this exciting chapter, Ash and Anabel break up, and Brock gets a possible love interest that never really shows up again.


We arrive once more at the SceptiCorp Mfg. Bad Fanfiction Observation Center, with all its myriad ways. Already Kyurem is sitting- having had nothing to do- and is currently awaiting Dusknoir, Humblot, and Dr. Sceptile. After a moment, Dr. Sceptile and Dusknoir arrive via Dimensional Hole, followed by Humblot in one of Darkrai’s Portals of Darkness shortly thereafter. Humblot’s old, unmentioned, and tattered red cloak has been repaired, as well.

*Somewhere far away*

Palkia: WHY DO WE CARE WHAT SHAPE HIS CLOAK IS IN?

Giratina: Who are you talking about?

*Back in the Fanfiction Observation Center*

Dr. Sceptile: Still with us, Kyurem? Where’s the others?

Kyurem: Porygon-Z has vital matters to attend to, and Raikou and Entei have run off to watch something called “Hell Girl”.

Dr. Sceptile: Is that hentai?

Kyurem: What? I don’t know, I’m not like them.

Humblot: So, do you all like my new cloak? It came straight from Paris.

Dusknoir: Yes, yes, it’s quite nice. So, Romance 101 today?

GLaDOS: Yes.

Dusknoir: And observation will commence in?

GLaDOS: 7.863 seconds, exactly.

*Siren blares*

GLaDOS: Oh, I’m sorry. It appears that I was guessing time based off of Russian clocks.

Humblot: Meaning?

GLaDOS: Begin. *drops storage cube on Humblot’s head* And no idiotic questions.

Todd: He pops in and out throughout the whole story so you'll be seeing some of him.

Dr. Sceptile: Todd, also known as the Photographer Formerly Known as Snap.

Barbra: If you've seen the Battle Frontier episode, you'll remember a very pushy girl there protecting Lucy. That would be Barbra! However, this is her only appearance!

Dr. Sceptile: Ah, yes, the lesbian.

Dusknoir: I thought she was Lucy’s sister?

Dr. Sceptile: No. She was quite clearly a lesbian jealous of he bisexual lover’s interest in a man.

Chapter Three

Narrator: Cheating, lying, deceit! These are the words we say when someone does something so unforgiving like having your own date kiss another girl.

Humblot: Even when it comes out of nowhere with little build-up.

Kyurem: Maybe Anabel was using her psychic powers to force Ash to kiss her.

Dusknoir: Psychically forcing someone to have false emotions is difficult to do, at least in my experience.

Humblot: …And you know this how?

Harsh words maybe, but I too understand a female’s tender heart.

Kyurem: *opens mouth*

GLaDOS: I am afraid that insulting the author is severely discouraged by the Observation Center.

Kyurem: *Thermally Discouraged*

It was the Monday after the Homecoming dance and Ash was a little worried about Misty since she didn’t come back after grabbing her coat.

Dr. Sceptile: Coats: they’re just like Cinderella’s glass slippers. Left behind since the 10th century and counting.

In the hallway, Sakura and Marisa were talking to each other of the events of the dance.

Humblot: It really should be “talking to each other about the events of the dance.” It flows more naturally.

Dr. Sceptile: Says the French Revolutionary Snake who doesn’t speak English.

Marisa: I didn’t see what happened!

Kyurem: Good thing, too. It was stupid.

Sakura: Well I talked to Misty yesterday and she said she saw something so terrible that it got her so upset. I don’t know what it was,

Dr. Sceptile: Pearl Harbor.

Humblot: An aristocrat.

Dusknoir: Modern art.

Kyurem: Superman 64.

but I kind of have a feeling it involves her and Ash somehow.

Humblot: Why don’t they ask Citizen Ash or Citizeness Misty?

Kyurem: Why didn’t Anabel and Ash dance at the dance in full public view?

Dusknoir: Why do you assume that they would make such a thing public?

Dr. Sceptile: Why do you assume that Ash would know about such things in the first place?

GLaDOS: When will you stop asking ridiculous questions?

Marisa: Do you think he did something to her at the dance? Did he touch her?

Dr. Sceptile: *summons doll* *to Kyurem* Show me on the doll where he touched you.

Kyurem: ... *eats doll*

Sakura: No, I don’t think it was anything like that. In any case, Misty said she’s feeling sick today and isn’t coming in.

Humblot: Maybe she’s about to lay an egg?

Dusknoir: Humans don’t work that way. That’s all we need to say about that.

Marisa: Hmm…She likes Ash, doesn’t she?

Dr. Sceptile: *as Sakura* You’re clearly mistaken. She likes me.

Kyurem: *as same* Actually, she likes Miss Lillian.

Dusknoir: *as same* I think she’s had her eye on that Brock guy for a while.

Humblot: *as same* I think that she’s in love with Elm myself.

All Else: *squick*

Sakura: Who?

Marisa: What do mean who?

GLaDOS: Lame owl-based jokes will result in deployment of aerial faith platforms, which will lead directly into the screen. You have been warned.

I’m talking about Misty! (Sakura nods) If that’s the case, then I’m assuming that Ash did or said something to break her heart. (Ash walks up)

Dr. Sceptile: *starts humming Never Gonna Give You Up*

Dusknoir: You hummed that last session.

Dr. Sceptile: Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down~

GLaDOS: *drops storage cube on head*

Dr. Sceptile: *grumbling in pain*

Ash: What’s up ladies?

Marisa: Speak of the devil!

Ash: Guys, I need to ask you something.

Kyurem: *as Ash* Does this shirt make my hips look big?

Dusknoir: *as same* How can free will coexist with divine preordination?

Humblot: *as same* How many roads can a mon walk down in his life?

Dr. Sceptile: *as same* Do you guys know where Misty went? I think she stole my limo keys.

Back at the dance, Brock told me that Misty got a ride from her sisters. I just wanted to ask you if you talked to her since the dance.

Dusknoir: What a responsible man.

Kyurem: Who also kissed some random girl he knew for all of five minutes while ditching his date/future girlfriend/future wife inside.

Sakura: Well, that’s kind of what we wanted to talk to you about. Misty called me this morning and said that she was sick and wasn’t coming in today.

Kyurem: *as Sakura* We think she’s pregnant.

I even talked to her the day before and she sounded like she was crying. Now did you do anything to her at the dance that would have gotten her this upset?

Kyurem: *as Sakura* But maybe that goes with the increased hormones.

Dr. Sceptile: You may be annoying some audience members by now.

Kyurem: Are they the lord of ice, balance, and absence? I don’t think so, do you?

Dr. Sceptile: Well, no…

Kyurem: Exactly.

Ash: No! I didn’t do a thing.

Humblot: *as Ash* Besides kiss some girl I barely knew for poorly explained reasons!

If you talk to her, tell her I hope she feels better.

Dusknoir: I won’t even bother.

Marisa: Yeah we’ll do that! On another subject Ash, tell that idiotic friend of yours Gary to stay the hell away from me. All through the dance, he kept staring at my chest and at the end of the night, he tried to grab it.

Dr. Sceptile: Ah, Neil, my nemesis! So you have once more-

Dusknoir: That’s just some random pervert, doctor.

Dr. Sceptile: Ah. Well, in that case I hope he gets his due reward as a pervert. *glares at Humblot*

Humblot: What? I am the Servine of the people, especially the ladies, not some cheap ladies’ man at this “high school” thing!

Sakura: So that explains his black eye!

Ash: HE’S NOT MY FRIEND! (Nearby)

Dr. Sceptile: TURN TO DARKNESS!

Kyurem: Harry Potter called. He wants his Capslock of Rage back.

Winona: You need me to what?

Dr. Sceptile: You need me to dance the hula to distract the hyenas?

Brock: You have to introduce me to that hot Queen Lucy! You have to help me! Tell me everything you know about her!

Humblot: *as Winona* She is a bisexual in a lesbian relationship with her supposed sister~

Kyurem: *point-blank Blizzard*

Humblot: *frozen solid*

Winona: You’re not going to start stalking her, are you?

Dusknoir: *as Brock* No! I’m just going to ask her to… provide her charm… for my company!

Brock: (Laughs) I would never do that!

All (except Humblot): Yes he would.

Winona: Well, if you really want to get to know her, just talk to her during lunch. I’m sure you guys will really hit it off.

All: Ahahahahhahahaha.

But aren’t you a little intimidated by the fact that she’s a senior and you’re just a freshman?

Dr. Sceptile: A true entrepreneur is ruthless, daring, and never afraid!

Brock: In the great words of Aaliyah, “Age Ain’t Nothin’ But a Number.” (Back at Ash’s locker)

Kyurem: Huh?

Dr. Sceptile: I’ll rephrase it in a different way: in the words of the great prophet Muhammad, “Allah is the one god, and Muhammad is his prophet.”

Psychic Portal: *opens up*

Dr. Sceptile: *blasted with Psychic from his irritated Muslim Alakazam second-in-command* Okay, I guess I deserved that.

Ash: (Thinking) I wonder if Misty saw me kissing Anabel the night before. Could it be because of that? Nah! I doubt it!

Dusknoir: And the sad thing is that if Ash were dating, he really would be this dense.

GLaDOS: For the author. *clap* *clap* *clap*

Anabel: Hey Ash!

Ash: Oh Anabel! I’m glad you’re here! I want to talk to you.

Anabel: Same here!

Ash: Look, about the kiss the other night…

Dr. Sceptile: *as Ash* Look, I’m sorry, I had a few beers and it just got all out of control and-

Anabel: I like you!

Ash: You know it was just as…What the hell did you just say?

Kyurem: Listen people: Ash doesn’t swear. The worse you’re going to get out of Americanized Ash is “crap”. So stop making him. It just looks immature and unintelligent.

Humblot: *thaws* And you can say this because?

Kyurem: I am a massive ice dragon and they are not.

(Picture snaps) Huh?

Anabel: I like you Ash! I know it’s a little fast, but there’s something about you that is so irresistible. (Bell rings)

Humblot: It is, of course, not lust. Because only the evil people get that!

Dr. Sceptile: If it’s not lust, then it must be the Imperious Curse.

Humblot: From whom?

Dr. Sceptile: Dumbledore. He’s the only one who could’ve done this.

Ash: Oh, um, well, I have to get to class right now. (He runs off)

Anabel: (Sighs) I knew it was too soon to tell him. (At lunch)

Dusknoir: Well, the Imperious Curse will do that to you.

Sakura: I thought that she would come during lunch.

Aziz: *flies in* She was c-

Kyurem: *point-blank Blizzard*

Aziz: *frozen in a block with Humblot*

Kyurem: Whoops. Two-for-one deal.

Marisa: Well maybe we’ll give tomorrow a chance. (A boy walks up)

Todd: Long time no see!

Dr. Sceptile: It’s you! With the Shroomish hair!

Dusknoir: I thought that was Tracey.

Dr. Sceptile: It’s both, really.

Marisa: Todd, you scum bag! I haven’t seen you around lately!

Sakura: Who’s he?

Kyurem: *as Marisa* My old boyfriend. Last I heard an escalator killed him.

Dusknoir: *as same* My pet Breloom.

Dr. Sceptile: *as same* He’s my agent for Brock’s new movie studio.

Marisa: Oh, this is Todd. He and I go way back. So what do you have for me?

Dr. Sceptile: *as Todd* I’ve got some blackmail on the Professor… see, he seems to have been usin’ the Imperious Curse, and I got it all on camera…

Todd: I’ve got some primo pictures of Saturday’s dance. Got one of you and that one boy dancing!

Marisa: Burn it!

Dr. Sceptile: Just burn it!

Burn it! ~

GLaDOS: *storage cube assault* No Michael Jackson.

Dr. Sceptile: *under pile of cubes* I think I broke something.

Todd: And of some other people! (Marisa takes the photos) Hey, try not to get your fingerprints all over it!

Marisa: Bite me!

Todd: Snitch-bitch!

Kyurem: Why is the ‘i’ italicized?

Dusknoir: *shrug*

Dr. Sceptile: I can’t see it! Sorry.

Humblot and Aziz: *still frozen*

Sakura: Hey, isn’t that a picture of Ash kissing Anabel?

Marisa: So that’s what happened!

Dusknoir: Who needs mystery when you can have… exposition?

Kyurem: And some odd sort of plot point.

Todd: Oh that picture! Yeah, I’m thinking of putting this in the yearbook.

Dusknoir: *as Todd* For the blackmail, you see.

Hopefully this school won’t be so strict about love like in middle school.

Dusknoir: Well, for one thing, it’s not love. It’s probably lust.

Kyurem: I don’t think anyone else wants mushy crap in the yearbook, Todd, and that includes high school.

Sakura: I feel so bad for her.

Marisa: I know what you mean!

Aziz and Humblot: *ice melts*

Aziz: If you know what I mean~

Humblot: I do~

Kyurem: *Roar*

Aziz: *flies off*

Humblot: *jumps into storage cube pile*

Todd: Hey, if you’re interested, I just took a picture of those two talking in the hallway this morning.

Dusknoir: Why take a picture?

Humblot: He wants to look at it at night.

Kyurem: Yeah, he’s a voyeur of some sort that wants even more mushy crap in the yearbooks.

Marisa: (Gasp) Holy crap! Misty is here! Here Todd, take your damn pictures and leave. Tell no one what happened here!

Future!Dr. Sceptile: *arrives out of ceiling Dimensional Hole* Here, I’ll heal me.

Dusknoir: I really, really need to arrest you.

Dr. Sceptile: *gets up* Forgot about time for a second… why does she always need to swear?

Humblot: At least it’s not out of character.

Future!Dr. Sceptile: For Blue? Well… I suppose you might have a point.

Todd: Alright, keep your panties on…please! (Todd leaves)

Dusknoir: Yes. No one wants to see that.

Humblot: *confused*

Marisa: How are you feeling?

Misty: I’ll survive.

Dr. Sceptile: I will survive-

GLaDOS: *Aerial Faith Platform activation*

Dr. Sceptile: *opens up Dimensional Hole right before hitting the screen*

Future!Dr. Sceptile: *now just Dr. Sceptile* And that’s me!

Sakura: I’m sure things will look better in time. (Misty sighs)

Dr. Sceptile: I would take out my doll again, but Kyurem ate it.

Kyurem: Do you have a point?

Misty: Where is everybody?

Dr. Sceptile: *begins whistling the Mother 3 Love Theme*
