“I can‘t believe we‘re in the US!” Daisy exclaimed. “It’ so exciting to finally meet our family!”

“I know right?” Misty exclaimed happily. “After all these years of talking on the phone, I finally get to meet my other two sisters and three brothers!”

Sharon smiled as she and the rest of them walked out the doors of Pokemon City Airport. Sighing in contentment she walked straight towards the old-aged driver of a limo she knew too well…

“Leo!” Sharon exclaimed as she left her bags by everyone else to rush over to him. “I’ve missed you so much dude!”

“It’s good to have you back Shar…” Leo smiled as he gave her a tight hug. He let go of her and twirled her around. “Well look at you! All dressed up!”

Sharon smiled and nodded. She was swearing a black skirt with a red shirt and of course her black converse shoes. Smiling wider she quickly beckoned everyone else over.

“Guys, this is Leo, the driver of our limo. He’s been working for the Waterflower-Anderson family since he was twenty and had kept at it for over thirty years.” Sharon smiled. “He always used to buy me ice cream when I was small.”

“It’s nice to meet you.” They all replied politely.

“C’mon Leo!” Sharon exclaimed. “Time to take us home!”

“Well in ya go!” Leo smiled opening the car door as Sharon quickly slid in.

As soon as they were all going in, Sharon exclaimed happily, “We’re finally going home! WHOO!”

“Anderson Mansion here we come!” Kimberly exclaimed.

“It’s about time!” Junior yelled.

“Yay!” Maryanne shouted.

******

Sharon, Ash, Misty, Brock, Kimberly, Junior, Maryanne, Lily, Daisy, and Violet stood outside the black gates of a dirty and beat down mansion. Some of the window ledges were losing the paint as it was slowly crumbling. The mansion was in bad shape but Sharon was looking up at it with such pride in her eyes, that one would think she was looking up at a well-trained Snorlax.

“Welcome everyone…” Sharon started, voice breaking slightly. “…to the Anderson Mansion… You smell that?” She inhaled deeply. “It smells like home sweet home…”

“What smell? All I smell is the gas from all the cars around here.” Ash muttered in disgust.

Sharon apparently chose to ignore this for she remained quiet. Misty however nudged him in the ribs and whispered, “This place is important to Sharon, she hasn’t been here in well over four years!”

“My brother and sister don’t really take care of it like I used to…” Sharon sighed. “But I’ll fix that… You know we used to call it The Pokemon Mansion…” she smiled lightly and went on, “We called the gym The Pokemon Tower cuz it stands right behind the mansion on a hill where it looks over the city, protecting it…”

“Yeah… it’s really cool to go all the way up to the top.” Kimberly commented. “It’s the best place to see the sunset and sunrise….”

“C’mon let’s go in!” Sharon exclaimed as she quickly opened the gates.

All of them headed up the pathway, Sharon sighing as the walked up the steps. Excitement coursing through her veins, she took out a set of keys and slowly opened the door. The hallways was dark with a red carpet extending into the room on her left; to her right were stairs also covered with the same red carpet. It was dark and one could barely se the kitchen all the way at the end of the hall.

“Oscar! We’re home! Hello! Is anybody here!?” Sharon called out. She left her bags by the door as she quickly went to the kitchen, Ash , Misty, and Brock following. “Where is everyone…?”

“C’mon let’s go wait in the living room.” Misty suggested pulling Sharon with her.

“Yeah…” Sharon replied worriedly. “I told them we were coming… They should be here…” Sharon muttered disappointedly.

“C’mon Shar… they’re probably just lazy… or they went out for a second or something.” Misty replied with a shrug.

They all went back into the hallway where Lily, Daisy, Violet, Kimberly, Junior and Maryanne were waiting patiently. They headed into the dark room were the curtains were drawn shut tight, shutting out the bright sunlight. Sharon looked around curiously.

“Hmm… That’s weird… these curtains were open when were outsi-” Sharon started but suddenly there were a series of yells and shouts as the curtains were opened, revealing people exclaiming, “SURPRISE!!!! Welcome home Sharon!”

“OH MY GOD!!!” Sharon yelled as she saw the number of people standing in the spacious living room. “Vani!” She yelled suddenly catching sight of a blond and white skinned tall girl with glasses. “I can’t believe it!”

“Bad Speller!” the girl shouted hugging Sharon.

“It’s so good to see you Vani!” Sharon exclaimed.

“It’s good to see you too…” Vani replied smiling.

Sharon let go of Vani, and caught sight of and Indian black haired girl also wearing glasses. She quickly rushed over to her yelling, “Miss Proverted!”

“Shari!” the girl exclaimed as she hugged her.

“Still having those perverted thoughts?” Sharon asked grinning.

“Not much.” the girl named Miss Proverted replied.

“Not much?! Ha! That perve had been laughing with Steph the entire time you were gone!” a white girl with brown hair and glasses added.

“Sarah!” Sharon yelled.

“Sharon!” Sarah shouted grinning.

“Damn! How long had it been?”

“A long time dude… A long time…”

Sharon let go of the girl and turned to another tall girl with short brown impossible hair and tan skin, wearing glasses. Yelling , as tears shined in her eyes, she rushed over hugging the girl, “Criticizer!”

“Curser!” the girl shouted as tears silently fell.

“I’ve missed you so much!” Sharon muttered as she felt her own tears falling.

“Me too, Curser… me too…”

Sharon turned to the last girl and saw as her tears began to obscure her vision. This girl had short curly black hair with light tan skin, wearing glasses, behind which her eyes were also watering.

“Tephi!” Sharon exclaimed as she hugged the girl.

“D.D!” Tephi replied as she cried.

“It’s been too long!” Sharon wailed.

“We’ve missed you so much DayDreamer!” Tephi cried.

The group of girls crowded around Sharon, hugging her tightly. Misty smiled as she watched her sister become emotional like she had never been, happy as her sister reunited herself with her old friends. She looked around and she became aware of the many people that were within the room.

“Oh stop crying girl. You’re gonna make us all cry!” Sarah exclaimed as her won eyes shined brightly with emotion.

“I’m sorry you guys but-” Sharon started but a sarcastic voice cut in, “Oh this is pathetic…”

Sharon’s head snapped in the direction from which the voice came. There she saw two of the people she hated the most… Jasmin and Jessica….

“What the hell are you doing in my home?!” Sharon snapped angrily.

“Well your sister said she was having a party so she invited us.” Jasmin smiled smugly.

“What?!” Sharon exploded. “SAMANTHA! Get you ass over here now!”

A tall girl with long black hair, tan skin, and glasses stepped towards her in an almost strutting manner. Everyone rolled their eyes and began to talk amongst themselves, knowing this would take a while.

“We need to talk baby sister…” Sharon smiled sweetly.

“Why don’t you talk to me when I feel liked it?” Samantha suggested obviously not caring.

Sharon’s eyes flared angrily, Samantha noticing this rolled her yes. Quickly, Sharon grabbed her sister by the arm and dragged her into the hallway.

“Uh-oh…” Brock, Misty and Ash said in unison.

“What?” several people asked.

“What did you tell them?” Sharon’s voice snapped from outside in the hall.

“Sharon’s about to explode in tee-minus ten seconds…” Kimberly, Junior and Maryanne began to count.

“Huh?” several people around them replied.

“10-9-8...”

“That I own this property which I do! What do you care?” Samantha started.

“3-2-1...” and suddenly Kimberly, Junior, Maryanne, Lily, Daisy Violet, Misty, Ash and Brock as one stuffed their fingers in their ears while everyone looked at them as if they were mad.

However even when they did cover their ears, it wasn’t enough to drown out the unexpected shouts that erupted from the hall.

“WHAT?! THIS IS NOT YOUR PROPERTY! IT BELONGS TO ALL THREE OF US! BESIDES! YOU NEVER DID ANYTHING TO HELP US KEEP IT!” Sharon’s voice was hear to scream through the hall.

“But I was too young-!”

“YOU WERE NOT! YOU COULD HAVE TESTIFIED AND MADE IT EASIER!” Sharon shouted. “Why the HELL would you like about something like that?! And to them!”

“I wasn’t lying! Don’t talk about them like that! They’re my friends!” Samantha was hear to retort.

“FRIENDS!” Sharon screeched. “THEY DO NOT DESERVE TO BE YOUR FRIEND! YOU’RE ABOVE THEM! DON’T STINK TO THEIR LEVEL!” Everyone was staring at the hallway intently waiting for Sharon to go on. “NOW GET THEM OUT OF THIS HOUSE! I DON’T WANT TO SEE THEM HERE OR ANYWHERE NEAR YOU AGAIN!”

Sharon stormed back into the room, followed by an angry and sulky Samantha. Everyone within the room watched as the two sisters instantly separated from each other and headed towards their friends. Samantha walked over to Jasmine and Jessica, beckoning them to follow her.

“C’mon let’s go.” Samantha muttered darkly. “We’re not wanted here… besides this party’s boring.”

“Enough said. “Jasmin replied. “Let’s go.”

“Toodles everyone!” Jessica exclaimed.

Sharon watched darkly as the three girls left the room and soon the mansion. As soon as they left she started to mutter curse words and threats under her breath. The girl named Criticizer nodded fervently as she pulled her back within the circle of friends.

“You seriously need anger management.” she smiled.

“No shit.” Sharon replied angrily. “That girl had really fed me up. I don’t know what’s wrong with her lately… She’s just…” She sighed. “It’s like she’s a completely different person nowadays…”

“Oh Sharon calm down!” Tephi exclaimed.

“You’ve been here only five minutes and already you’re worrying!” Sarah smiled. “Relax!”

Sharon smiled, suddenly remembering Ash, Misty and Brock who were standing off a little to the side. She looked around to try and find Lily, Daisy, Violet, Kimberly , Junior, and Maryanne, only to find her three cousins introducing her sisters to the people in the room; boys mostly crowded around them. Deciding she should do the same, Vani beat her to it.

“So Sharon, this is your sister Misty?” Vani asked.

“Yeah, the dude with black hair, brown eyes and with the Pikachu on his shoulder is her boyfriend Ash Ketchum of Pallet, and the other dude is-” Sharon started but Vani cut in, looking at Brock with interest, “He your boyfriend?”

“He is not! I don’t plan on getting on any time soon unless…it’s-” Sharon began but soon all her friends finished for her by saying, “Pedro Malone…”

“Exactly.” Sharon smiled. She turned to Ash, Misty, and Brock grinning happily. “well dudes these are my B.F.F’s! Vani is Vanesa with one ‘s.’”

“Hi.” Vanesa greeted waving.

“The girl called Miss Proverted is Pooja. She was originally going to be Miss Perverted but-” Sharon shrugged

Pooja cut in with a smile as she came forward, ”I wanted something unique!”

“Unique!?” Sarah snorted loudly. “You made stupid spelling mistake and that’s why it was ‘Pro.’”

“Pro for being good at it.” Pooja giggled.

Laughing Sharon went on, gesturing to the girl with short brown hair and white skin, added, “She’s Sarah. She joked around a lot so be careful, she says things she doesn’t mean sometimes.”

“Yeah.” Sarah smiled.

”Criticizer is Nat-Nat or Natalie.” Sharon went on.

“Hello dudes.” Natalie greeted happily.

“An this other Ette if called Stephanie! A.K.A teph or Tephi.” Sharon smiled as she walked over to her. she has been my best friend since sixth grade

“Oh and what are we?” Natalie demanded.

“We ghosts?” Sarah asked acting hurt.

“I feel unwanted!” Pooja cried.

“I feel abandoned!” Vanesa sniffed.

Sharon and Stephanie started laughing and soon their other friends joined in, laughing happily like mischievous ten-year olds. Ash, misty, and Brock, sweat dropping exchanged wary looks. Soon the girls led her to the other guests for her to say hi while ash, misty, and Brock followed. Sharon began to greet various people she obviously knew, presenting ash, misty and Brock along the way. However when Sharon spotted a tall boy with dark hair and dark brown eyes over by the window, she excitedly rushed over to him, completely forgetting about her friends and sister.

“Damien!” Sharon exclaimed as she hugged him tightly. “Oh! A lot of time has passed since I last saw you… Oh I’ve missed you so much dork!”

“I’ve missed you too, nerd!” Damien replied as he smiling, hugged her back with tender.

While Sharon hugged and talked to Damien, her friends began to giggle and whisper behind their hands. Quickly Sharon and Damien noticed their giggles, they turned to them, rolling their eyes.

“Please don’t start. I’ve had enough of your hunches already. I don’t like Damien.” Sharon muttered with a tired sigh.

“Sure…” Natalie replied rolling her eyes. “And I’m actually 18...”

“You know… I wouldn’t be surprised if you actually were… What with you being so tall and all…” Sharon smiled as she turned to talk to Damien again.

“But it’s just you and Damien look so good together!” Vani exclaimed exasperated.

“They been telling you this too?” Sharon asked Damien with a sigh.

“Yeah…” Damien replied sighing as he shook his head.

“When will you stop this nonsense?” she asked as she tried to proceed with her greetings.

“When you two get together!” Natalie exclaimed.

“Oh… dear… God…” Sharon muttered. “What idiots…”

“You got that right…” Damien murmured. “they’ve been driving me buts. All these stupid tests… They even think it was “destiny” that brought us together cuz of our favorite numbers.”

“What?!” Sharon laughed. “What’s wrong with four and nineteen?”

“Well cuz the 4^th letter is D and the 19^th letter is S.” Damien replied.

They looked at each other, snorted and began to laugh loudly.

“Ah-ha!” Sarah exclaimed pointing at them. Sharon Damien stopped laughing and sweat dropping looked at her weakly. “see! See! Another reason why you two look so good together! You two always laugh and giggle with each other!” Sarah started pointing at Damien with a maddening glint in her eye as she continued, “You’re always reading over her shoulder and you two are always, always together! When you go to the store, when you go to the kitchen, when you go to school!”

Natalie nodded in agreement and added, “I remember when there use to be danced and you couldn’t get dates-which was practically all the time mid you-you’d go together!”

“You two always went t to the movies together, you two always read together, dammit you two were always with each other!” Vani exclaimed.

“For two people who say they’re not a couple, you sure as hell act like one!” Pooja piped up.

All five girls nodded fervently at each others comments while Sharon and Damien watched in weak silence as they warily shook their heads.

“For God’s sake Sharon! He’s living in your mansion! He-!” Sarah began to yell exasperatedly.

“Sarah, Sarah!” Sharon cut in grabbing her by the shoulder as she shook her. “Give it as rest! My God why must you be so persistent?”

“persistent?” Sarah asked confused.

“Look it up.”

“Why? You’re our personal cautionary so why don’t you just save us the trouble?”

“It won’t kill you, ya know…”

“God, I hope it will…” Damien muttered.

The two started laughing but stopped short at the girls’ looks which plainly asked them sardonically, you don’t do everything together?

“Oh shutup.” the two replied in disgust.

“See! See-!”

“Oh SHUTUP!” they yelled.

“How cute… they yell and get mad together…” Natalie pointed out with a wicked smile,.

“Do not,” they retorted savagely.

The five girls raised their brows mockingly as both Sharon and Damien blushed and rolled their eyes. Ash, Misty and Brock whom were watching the whole scenario in interest burst out laughing at the two’s embarrassment.

“You two really are perfect for each other!” Misty exclaimed.

“Oh no..” Sharon and Damien replied, blushing again as everyone laughed at them for saying the same thing again.
