2 Fathers, 1 Son (Part 1 of 3)
Vair woke up to see the sun shining through the open widow, shedding light all around the room. He turned around, face flat on the pillow, trying to hide from the new intruding light. He was still very tired and wanted to get as much sleep as he could. Frustrated, he pounded his pillow as he sat up. He wiped away his eyebrows, trying to reawaken his still sleeping eyes. After the excessive rub-down (of his eyes, nothing else. Perverts,) he got up out of bed and got himself dressed, ready for the new morning. Something in him made him feel extremely happy, a ball of limitless energy. He normally was extremely hyper, but for one reason or another, today he felt even better than any other day.
He snuck out of his room, making sure not to wake up Claire and Brock. Brock wasn't what he was worried about, Claire was the one no one wanted to wake up. Imagine waking up a bear during hibernation a month before it's supposed to. That reaction is what Claire will give you if you even wake her up even a minute too early. After accomplishing getting out of the room without disturbing the sleeping demon, he felt easy and walked into Ash's room. He went up to the bed containing Ash, Jasmine, and Dante at the end of the bed. After the vacation Dante and Ash took, he seemed to always sleep at the end of their bed. Ashley was sleeping in her crib still, but it was becoming too small now that she was growing so much.
Normal Riolus would be already walking and talking by now. But, since Ashley was half human, she still hadn't walked yet, let alone even muttered a word. She tried desperately to understand what everybody was saying, but she still had no clue. All their words ran together and they all sounded the same.
Vair was now at their bedside, debating whether or not to awaken his sleeping soon-to-be step-dad. He looked so peaceful, lying there, no disturbances at all. Vair decided to wait until later for Ash to wake up on his own, so that he wouldn't yell at Vair. Vair, disappointed now, went on his way back to his room. However, he stopped when he heard someone else getting out of the bed. He carefully investigated the mysterious sound, finding the source to be the room across from him. "Uh-oh, Ajay, Pikachu, and Espeon are in there! I hope they aren't hurt." Vair thought to himself as he burst into the room, hoping they were all alright.
"Hey?!? What's the big idea?" Ajay yelled as he wasn't as much surprised as he was perturbed. "I heard some noises and thought you guys were in trouble. But now I see that you were the noise, so I'll be going back to bed." Vair replied as he went towards the door. "Wait! Vair, do you want to train a little? I want to spend some time getting to know you and I think you will like this new move I have to show you." Ajay asked, trying to strike a connection with his biological son. "Sure, Ash is fast asleep and I wanted to do something while I was awake, so, yeah, I'll go." Vair happily answered.
He followed Ajay out the door and down the hall. "So, Vair, what sports do you like to play?" He desperately wanted to find out more about Vair and it easily showed. "Well, I like pretty much any sport that gets me active, especially the ones where I get to fight someone. When I battle against another pokemon, I get a rush of excitement, knowing that I am more powerful than someone else. But with my small arsenal of moves, I don't win that often. So, what move are you going to show me?" Vair asked, dying to know. "You'll see, hold your horses." Ajay answered. (I love that expression, even though I have no idea what it means. Do any of you know? By the way, that was a rhetorical question. I don't care what hold your horses came from.)
Vair hoped down the stairs, eager to find out about this new move. Ajay followed with his normal calm demeanor, looking like he was too good for his surroundings and therefore, didn't care. Except, Ajay did care, this was his son. (Trying to act all macho, and deep. I don't like people who do that because I can't tell what they are thinking. Act what you feel and feel what you act. I hope you can understand that. Let's see, kind of like say what you mean and mean what you say, but replace say and mean with act and feel.) He wasn't going to break his usual laid-back persona with his happiness. He kept on walking as Vair bounced around him, asking about the move all the way to the open field he planned on using.
"You ready Vair? You better warm up a little bit so you can be loose. Here, start by stretching your leg and arms, you use them the most." Ajay suggested as he began stretching his body. Vair followed his stretches, making sure not to miss a thing so that he could learn the new move quickly. He wanted Ash to train him today too, and he thought Ash would be thrilled with his brand new move. "Now remember, moves aren't easily learned, they take practice and determination. The move I am going to show you is called Sky Uppercut, I know it's a pretty dumb name, but this move is really useful in transferring the battle to the air. This way, you can hit them down to the ground, causing them a considerable amount of damage. So, without further ado, let's get Sky Uppercut into action. Here, watch me demonstrate it on this tree."
With that, Ajay bolted for the tree. When it was just a little bit before his reach, he bent down a little, still running, and then lifted his whole body in a spinning fashion, punching upwards at the tree throughout. He connects sending the tree up and out of its roots and lifting it up about 20 or so feet, then crashing back down on the ground. "You don't need to run for this move, but I always seem to benefit from the running. Try it on this shrub. Remember to bend down until your shoulders line up with your knees, then explode upward twisting your body continuously while hitting your target. The initial punch sets them off-balance and the spinning makes them lose their grounding entirely, causing them to lift off the ground. Also, make sure to jump because the extra jump sometimes is needed to get the target off the ground quicker and sends them higher up than you would without jumping. You should land having done a perfect 360O, landing softly on your feet. It seems hard, but you should get the hang of it in no time." Vair nodded understanding fully and took off at the tiny shrub, a little mad that he wasn't trying for something bigger. The shrub wasn't even tall enough to reach his shoulders, and Vair was only 4'8". He got back on focus and tried remembering everything Ajay had explained to him. Because he was focusing on his next step so much, he didn't even notice the twig sticking out of the ground and he tripped on it. He fell head over heals, rolling and eventually slamming his head against the shrub. Ajay showed his first emotions since the night of the fight, bursting up laughing and falling on the ground in hysterics. After regaining his cool, he got back up and helped Vair up to his feet.
"Ok, how about this time, we actually get to the target and attempt the move. Try it again." Ajay once again said as he had gotten all the laughter out of his system beforehand. Vair didn't even mutter a word as he once again tried the move. He wasn't going to make a fool of himself again. He went even faster now and concentrated hard, making sure to not trip over anything. He approached the shrub perfectly, bending down with his shoulders in the correct position and exploding upwards right into the dead center of the target. He didn't even have time to see the shrub as he completed the move, spinning appropriately. The shrub flowed up and flew through the sky, just like Ajay did. Ajay stared in disbelief as he saw Vair standing there triumphantly over his masterpiece. The shrub landed, crashing down, next to him and Vair didn't even flinch, feeling as if he was an impenetrable fortress, standing over his kill. "Wow, Vair! That was amazing, let me see that again." Vair gleamed as he did the move again, now on a regular tree, like Ajay had done. "Yes, that was amazing. I'll see you later." The voice wasn't heard by either Vair or Ajay. It came from inside the forest. Behind a tree, someone turned around and walked away, remaining in the shadows and never turning back.
Dante woke up, yawning in a daze, still trying to wake up. He looked out the window seeing the beautiful sun shining in its pedestal in the sky. He turned to see Ash and Jade laying peacefully in the bed. His morning was already ruined as he watched Ash and Jade together in the bed. After their trip away, he began to feel even closer to Ash, if that was even possible. Ash was still confused about Dante and his friendship, but Dante hadn't picked up on this yet. Dante, after feeling crushed, came back to his senses and went up to Ash, licking his face trying to wake him up. Ash's eyes slowly opened as Dante's wet tongue kept licking him. "Stop, stop it. Not now Jade." Ash said as he playfully swiped at the tongue. But Dante stopped as he once again felt destroyed by Ash's comment. The first thing he thought about was Jade, not him. Dante walked away from Ash slowly, devastated. As Ash began to fully awaken, recognizing his environment, he noticed Dante lethargically walking away. He turned to see Jade, still sleeping and before he could say anything to Dante, Dante was already out the door.
"Why did it have to be him? Of all the people I could of fallen for, it had to be the guy already taken. What am I going to do?" Dante slowly built up until he began shouting at the sky, questioning why some puppet master was being so cruel. He was already outside when he did this, keeping it bottled up in the hotel to make sure it wasn't heard by anyone else. This attempt of his must of failed because a bird flew out of one of the nearby trees, supposively overhearing what Dante just said. "Wait, who are you talking about? Don't you mean her?" Staravia asked, landing in front of the startled Arcanine. Dante stared down at the ground as he answered her: "No, it is him... I'm gay. And not just for anyone, I'm gay for Ash. I don't know what to do anymore. It is so hard to watch him and Jade in the same room with all that chemistry they have together. I need help!" He began bawling as he threw his arms around Staravia and held her tight, a little too tight. (Dante seems to be a crybaby when it comes to relationships, but then again, would you be able to keep a straight face if you had to watch the girl/guy you loved with someone else? Probably not, and if you are able to, then you have no soul! Or some other reason, but it is most likely that you have no soul.)
"You too, I thought I was the only one. I know it is hard, but we'll pull through together." Staravia choked up as she tried to get some oxygen during Dante's emotional hug. Akuti's head popped out from behind a tree and ran up with an idea. "I know! Let's create a club, the I Love Ash Club. We can think of a more creative title later, but still, let's do it." Akuti yelled, running into the hug. "Where did you come from?" Dante and Staravia asked at the same time. "I was hiding behind that tree, watching from afar at everything. That's when I saw you two talking about Ash and I knew I had to talk about my desire for Ash. A club would be the best way for us to channel our feelings for him into. Com'on, whadya say?" She asked, still hugging Dante and Staravia. "I don't know, if we do, no one must ever find out, unless they confess to you their quest for Ash, but that is it." Staravia added. "Ok then, it's settled. We will have our first meeting in Ash's room when Ash goes out training with Vair and Jade meets up with Dawn who should be arriving here very soon. We will continue this conversation there, it is too risky out here where anyone can here us.
Vair came skipping back to the hotel with Ajay following him, strolling as he watched his son dance with joy over something he did for him. Pride flowed through his veins as he climbed those long, menacing stairs. Even though he never showed it, he was always dead tired after a work-out or training, or anything like that. He took a long inhale as he reached the top of the stairs. Vair ran into Ash's room where Ash was now up and almost fully ready. "Hey Vair, ready for your training today?" Ash asked, knowing he was always ready for training. "Ash, can we wait an hour or so? I'm a little tired and I need some rest." Vair asked. "Ok, but don't turn on the TV, your mother is trying to sleep." Ash answered back. He was shocked by this; Vair always wanted to train in the morning. Ash hadn't had time to himself ever since Ashley was born, he didn't know what to do with his free time. Since Vair was going to be resting for a while, he went out of the room to go find someone to hang out with.
Ash traveled down the hallway, looking into each room as he went. First, he looked into Espeon & Pikachu's hotel room. Espeon was asleep, but Pikachu was wide awake. Except, he was laying down right next to her, staring at her, never wanting to miss a moment with her. Ash would have wanted to talk to Pikachu, but refrained himself thinking that if he was laying down next to Jade, he wouldn't want to be interrupted like this. So he kept walking into Brock, Claire, Ajay, and Vair's room. (Ajay was sleeping in Pikachu and Espeon's bedroom that night because he got in late the previous night and he didn't want to wake up Claire.) Claire and Brock were lying fast asleep on the bed while Ajay was resting on his bed. Ash skipped over this room for now seeing as Ajay looked pretty tired. He thought to himself: "Wow, wonder what could possibly make Ajay tired?" He pondered this for a couple of seconds until he was suddenly interrupted by a loud, screeching voice shouting "AAAASSSHH!" Ash's body jolted as he was spooked out of his mind by the sudden yell. Dawn was now running down the hallway to him.
"Hey Dawn, how was your vacation with your mom?" Ash asked as Dawn jumped on him, wrapping her arms around him. She was hugging him so tight that his breathing slowed to a halt, making her jump back off him only after he was gasping for air. "It was wonderful. I hadn't spoke to my mom in a very long time, so when I heard she was near, I ran over to the neighboring town she was in. We used to live here in Twinleaf Town, but after I set out to become a pokemon trainer, my mom moved to the Johto region, bouncing around from town to town never really having a solid place to call home. I was just so happy to see her. But now I'm back, so, what did I miss?" Dawn asked, clueless about the prior events. Ash could have said a lot of things to her, but he wanted to keep that a secret between Akuti, Dante, and him. (I haven't added my own thoughts in here for a while; I need to get back on the ball.)
"O, well nothing much has happened here, same old same old. What about you, anything special happen on your trip?" Ash asked, his head still clouded with the memories of that night near the lake. The transformation of Akuti had been unexpected and her sudden feelings and actions towards him caught him off guard. She used to be such a cute little girl, but now she grew up so fast that Ash still viewed her as the little Torchic he found only a couple months prior. He snapped back to his senses when after Dawn was done rambling about something, she reached for two pokeballs on her belt and released the captive pokemon inside. However, instead of seeing the usual Piplup or Buneary, out came a dazed Lopunny. (Ooo, yeah! Another sexy character, let's see how she ties in with the story...) "Hello, Lopunny, when did you evolve?" Ash asked the still awaking pokemon. "Well, we were jogging on our way here, and Buneary saw a pour Pidgey wounded on the ground with its wing broken. She grabbed our attention and after rushing the hurt Pidgey to the Pokecenter and hearing about its full recovery, Buneary evolved into Lopunny knowing she helped out a desperate pokemon in need of help. (Why does it seem a lot of pokemon are wounded? I need to get a better writer... err... I mean... never mind. This didn't just happen. When I count to 3 and you read snap on the screen, you will be under my control. 1..2..3.. 'snap'. Ok, you did not read about me using another writer for this story, that is a lie. A lie. Also, while I'm at it, you will give this story 5 stars/10 out of 10 because it is the best chapter you have ever read. When you read snap again on the screen, you will be back to normal reading my awesome story. 'Snap' Welcome back, now onto the story.)
"Nice, now keep quiet and out of sight until everyone is awake and well-rested. I want it to be a big surprise to everyone when you return. Ok, just hide in your normal room, no one is in there now, I think. I got to go find Dante. Have you seen him?" Ash once again wanting to see his friend. "O yeah, he's outside a little past the courtyard with Akuti and Staravia. Why?" Dawn replied. Ash didn't have time to answer her as he ran down the stairs as soon as he heard this. Who knows what they could have been talking about? He had, well, for lack of a better word, made love to them and now they were all talking to each other, alone. What if they were all talking about him! He dashed even faster out the door and quickly found the group having a conversation right where Dawn had told him.
The three pokemon, hopelessly devoted to Ash, were discussing their first times with Ash, describing every crucial detail. Staravia had explained her time first, then Dante was about half-way into his story when Ash ran up and dove into them, toppling them all to the ground. He panicked not knowing which route to handle the problem. During his thought process, his mind acted on its own, taking hold of his body and he tackled them all down. The three suitors to Ash laid there, entranced in his lovely sparkling eyes. They each saw their own futures with him in just those eyes. They sighed as Ash got to his knees and they too pushed themselves back up. "What... are... you guys... talking... about?" Ash panted as he tried to get in a full sentence. The new club members stared at each other trying to think of an excuse. "Well..." Staravia attempted at creating a story, but was cut short by Akuti. "We were just..." Akuti too tried at getting something out in the open, but Dante took the reigns of the conversation and explained to Ash: "We were just talking about how much we miss our families. We all found you, wounded and discontent, but we still had families and we were just relieving...past memories." Dante stuttered out as he began to swell up with fake tears. He looked over at Staravia and Akuti, giving them a look as if to say: "Help me out here." So, they too began to cry and Ash jumped back, unprepared for what was taking place in front of him. He had come down here assuming the worst, and he was just being paranoid. "Ok, well, com'on up now. We are all about to wake up and after my training with Vair, I want to do something as a group." Ash told them, taking Akuti's hand and motioning for the others to follow.
Akuti almost fainted like a little girl finally meeting NSYNC. (Except for the fact that Lance is gay. Dante would be pleased though.) Dante and Staravia flew/ran up to Ash, trying to get his attention to them the most. Dante ran under Ash's open arm and nudged him as they walked up the stairs. Staravia took it upon herself to get up on Ash's shoulders. After many failed attempts, desperate for attention, she grabbed Ash's lucky hat and flew off with it up the stairs. "Hey! Give me that." Ash yelled chasing after her leaving Dante and Akuti in the dust. Dante and Akuti both glared at the sight of Staravia taking such a low, cheap shot like that. They both raced after Ash and Staravia, angry that someone would take such a sweet moment like the one they had away from them just out of jealousy.
(Ok, I know this doesn't have anything to do with the story, but I found that gas is only $2.26! I am going to go fill up and then come back to writing... Ok, I'm back now, so on with the story. I say that too much, 'on with the story' or some stupid variation of it, I need to get a new ... stopped while I was ahead there.)
Staravia flew into Claire, Brock, etc's bedroom and dove underneath the bed Claire and Brock were still sleeping on. (Wonder what they were doing that would make them so tired? Ok, now I've gone over the limit. I'm restricting my comments until I can find a nice balance between the story and my personal comments. But you know you love them.) Ash caught a slight glimpse of Staravia flying into Brock's room, so he chased after her into the room. "Staravia, give me back my hat!" Ash screamed, not noticing the peaceful lovers on the bed, still asleep, or were asleep. Claire blinked as she looked around at her surroundings, seeing whose voice matched whose body. Ajay was sitting on his bed, silently looking at the scene playing out in front of him. He smiled a little and wished he had some popcorn for the performance. She then turned to see Ash, staring back at her in disbelief. He was now in for it. "ASH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I WAS SLEEPING! YOU KNOW THAT I DON'T WANT TO BE AWAKEN, EVER!" Claire was now in a full-blown rage, having no control of herself in such a state. Brock was, of course, woken up by now and tried to calm down Claire a bit, but knew there was very little he could do when she was like this. "I was just trying to get my hat back..." Ash moaned as he knew he was dead meat. "I ought to..." Claire began to get off the bed as she said this, but was stopped when she heard a tiny voice peep out from under the bed. "It was my fault, I flew in here trying to hide and apparently, he followed me and woke you up. It is my fault, I'm sorry." Staravia barely squeaked out, her voice trailing off from time to time. "Ok, well, get out for now and I will be ready in an hour. Just go for now." Claire sunk back into her bed, her anger now dispersed after hearing the scared Staravia appear from under her bed. Everyone but Brock and Ajay stayed in with Claire, which made Staravia and Ash very happy to get out of there alive.
Up from the steps arrived Akuti and Dante, mad as hell, glaring at Staravia but never daring to say a word about it until they had their meeting. Ash bid them adue and headed towards his room for his early morning training with Vair, except now it was half-past noon. The three pokemon members all went into separate rooms, Dante with Ash of course, Akuti with Dawn, and Staravia with the now awake Pikachu and Espeon.
After convincing Vair that the TV was still going to be there when he got back, (he must of forgot about his rule he had given to Vair) Ash led Vair down to the training area that Vair had already used before, unknowingst to Ash. "Ok Vair, let's start with some stretching to loosen the muscles." Ash instructed as he began to lift his leg up with his opposite hand, feeling the burn in his thigh. "That's alright Ash, I already stretched with Ajay today when he trained me." Vair replied with a sound of happiness in his voice. "Ajay trained you? What did he teach you?" Ash asked, growing angry over the fact that Ajay got to his son before he could. "Yeah, Ajay trained me. I didn't want to wake you because you seemed so peaceful, and that's when I found Ajay was awake and he told me he wanted to show me a new move. So, we came down here and practiced this awesome move." Vair explained, again sounding dignified as he spoke. "Ajay did, did he?" Ash was fuming now, but concealed it well. "What move was it?" Ash gritted through his teeth. "Sky Uppercut, here, let me show you."
With that, Vair went into a mad dash towards one of the big oak trees at the other end of the clearing. Doing as he was told, he bent before exploding upwards, twisting like a coil and uppercutting the tree head on. He landed once again in the way he was told exactly. He turned around to show his dad his latest masterpiece. "Do you like it?" He asked, panting and waiting for his dad's admiration. Ash however was mesmerized by the tree hurdling up into the air. The only problem was, it was heading right for him. Ash leaped out of the way just in time as the tree landed with a 'thud', right where he had been previously standing only moments ago. Vair's excitement wiped off his face like an eraser on a whiteboard as he could only see dust fly up from where Ash once stood. "Daddy? DADDY!!!" Vair realized what happened and now got on all fours as he began rushing towards him going excessively fast. As Ash got up from his near death experience, he witnessed Vair racing along towards him, looking almost like a blur going across the ground. Ash was taken aback by the sight of his son going at such ludicrous speeds. The first time he ran over to the other side of the clearing took about half-a-minute. Now, Vair had raced over the same distance in about 10 seconds! His body began to reappear when he started to slow down after seeing Ash. However, he was going way too fast and rammed into his poor, helpless dad. (I'm just going to refer to Ash as dad from now on for Vair unless both Ash and Ajay are in the same scene. Hey, I held in my comments for a good while and this doesn't even really count because I was still talking about the story.)
Lying atop his dad, Vair asked "Daddy! I thought I lost you." He began bawling into Ash's shirt, not knowing what he would do without Ash. "Don't worry about it Vair, that move was awesome. And that super fast run you just made is a move called extremespeed. It is usually used in battle to connect two moves to create one super-move. Those two moves were just so great that I think I am going to show you another new move. I wanted to wait until later, when you were ready, but you seem very capable of handling the move now. This move is very strong and is the basis of opening up a whole arsenal of new moves for any Lucario. Here, first, get off me." Ash calmly questioned as Vair leaped off his fallen dad and grabbed his hand, easily lifting him up without even trying too hard. "Secondly, stand apart from me and listen to everything I say. Ok?" Ash instructed that was responded by Vair's usual "Yes." "Ok then, let's get started on your third move of the day. Today must be your lucky day because I would have never taught you so many moves so close together."
"First off, I want you to tell me what aura is. You do know, right?" Ash asked, scared after he wasn't getting any response. "Well, I've heard about it, but I don't know what it is exactly. Do you know?" Vair questioned back. He had indeed heard about aura before, but he had no idea what it was beyond the fact that Lucarios rely on it for most of their move lists. "Well, you see, aura is... here, we'll ask the best source." Ash told him, taking his hand. "Ajay?" Vair once again asked. Ash's anger skyrocketed at this. "NO! No... Jade." Vair was shocked by Ash's answer. "But why not Ajay, Jade hasn't fought as much as him and she..." "BECAUSE I SAID! Now follow me." Ash with Vair trailing him kept on walking until they got to Ash's room. Jade was now awake and getting changed while Dante relaxed, playing with Ashley.
"Hey Jade, I need your help with this. Can you teach Vair about aura?" Ash asked. "I could, but I think you should consult with Ajay on this. Ajay? Can you come in here?" Jade shouted out down the hall. "I don't need Ajay! Can everyone understand that?" Ash firmly told her, not raising his voice, but making his point very clean. However, Ajay was already on his way over to the room.
"You need me?" Ajay asked, in his normal laid back tone. "NO! We DON'T need you and to top it off, why did you teach Vair a new move without consulting me?" Ash yelled back, his normal pacifist behavior completely blown apart. "Hey, get this, I'm his father, not you. In fact, I should be teaching him this stuff and you should be the one up here, doing nothing. Ever think of that?" Ajay recriminated. "Hey! You can't show up one day and start dictating how you are going to run my child's life. I have been with him a lot longer than you have." Ash shouted, getting angrier and angrier, if that's even possible. "Can we not do this here?" Jade asked, concerned for her children's trust in their father. Dante tried to calm down Ashley as the yelling made her cry hysterically. "No, this has to be handled now. And how dare you say you have been with him longer than me? You have been, but that doesn't mean you know him better than me. I bet you don't know his favorite ice cream flavor, do ya?" Ajay smiled as Ash's face drew a blank. "Chocolate Peanut-Butter Cup, so how well do you really know him." Ajay smirked as he thought he had won, but Ash shot back with another question. "Ok, I didn't know that, but do you know his favorite television show?" Ash in turn smiled as Ajay got lost in deep thought. "EEAAHH! Times up. It's Animals, now who knows him better?" Ash didn't have time to gloat as Ajay went up into his face. They both started yelling at each other, making the two combined voices sound like inhuman yells.
"STOP IT!" Vair shouted, halting both Ajay and Ash in their tracks. "Can't you see you are both acting like idiots? Neither one of you deserves to call themselves my father." Vair wanted to stomp out of the room with this last statement, but felt obligated to stay and hear their responses. Both Ash and Ajay began to appeal their cases to the high court. (Metaphor of high court instead of Vair, just in case you didn't catch that. And if you don't know what metaphors are, then you are a lost cause.) "One at a time! Geez. You know what, why are you even fighting? You both are like fathers to me, why can't I have two? You both can act together on acting as a father figure to me; why not give it a try? Ash excels at some things while Ajay excels at the others. You two together will be the perfect role model for me." Vair finally got the two to quiet down. Ajay and Ash thought about this and looked at each other, knowing that they were both being complete idiots, like Vair had said. "Ok, now that we got that over with, how about we play a thrilling game of Auraball. Com'on, everyone can play. How about it?" Ajay asked now after the two dads were now, once again, friends. Everyone in the room nodded, except for Dante who decided to seize this opportunity for his important meeting. He needed to talk to Staravia about that stunt she pulled earlier, among other things. Ajay, Ash, and the rest of the group now went into every other rooms to recruit more players for their game. Everyone except Dante, Staravia, Akuti, and Ashley of course, went outside for the big game.
After all members had gathered around Ash's bed, the meeting started with Akuti giving the opening remarks, seeing as she started the club. "Okay, now to begin the first ever meeting of the, as of now, untitled club. But you know our purpose. To love Ash and talk about it, I think. We all love Ash, how about that, a gathering of people who love Ash uncontrollably. Now to get one thing off my chest, we don't hate Jade, we are just jealous that she got to him first. Now, first order of business, what to do about the constant battling between us for Ash's attention. Evidence A: being Staravia's little sly trick earlier today." Akuti preached to the listening two and a half people. (Ashley counts as half a person because she may not understand what they were saying, but she was listening.) "Hey! I only did it because you two were hogging him up. I wanted him too." Staravia stood up as she told her side of the story. "And here's what we are going to do about that. No person or body of persons can intrude on another's chances on Ash. We can't interfere or meddle with another member's attempts. Love is not always fair, but true love will eventually fall to the deserving one."
Akuti paused for a while as they all, once again, thought about Ash and them together, living their own lives. They seemed to do this a lot lately, at least three times a day. At night, all three of them sometimes pleasured themselves to the thought of him and them together, and they all had experience with him. It may have not always been the best experiences (I'm looking at you Akuti,) but they all used those visions as a base for their sexual joy. But Akuti got out of her dream and began to speak once again. "Ok, Ash is outside playing Auraball and we need to decide who gets him today, just so we aren't fighting for him the whole time down there. I think I'll take today." Akuti told them. "Why should you have Ash today, I should have Ash if anyone, I'm his best friend." Dante spoke up for the first time in the meeting. "Hey, who was the one who met Ash first? Me, I should get him today." Staravia replied. This caused an uproar in the once peaceful meeting. They all yelled at how one should have Ash over the other two. "Ash should be mine!" Someone spoke. "No, he's mine today. You can have what's left of him tomorrow." Another one piped up.
"Aassh." Someone quietly spoke. This was drowned out by the yelling though. "Ash. ASH!" Everyone became quiet at this as they turned to see Ashley giggling as she shouted out "ASH!" Over and over again. "O my God, Ashley said her first word. Heh, do you think our meeting had anything to do with this?" Dante laughed as he picked Ashley up by the neck, holding her in his mouth as he ran down to the game.

He snuck out of his room, making sure not to wake up Claire and Brock. Brock wasn't what he was worried about, Claire was the one no one wanted to wake up. Imagine waking up a bear during hibernation a month before it's supposed to. That reaction is what Claire will give you if you even wake her up even a minute too early. After accomplishing getting out of the room without disturbing the sleeping demon, he felt easy and walked into Ash's room. He went up to the bed containing Ash, Jasmine, and Dante at the end of the bed. After the vacation Dante and Ash took, he seemed to always sleep at the end of their bed. Ashley was sleeping in her crib still, but it was becoming too small now that she was growing so much.
Normal Riolus would be already walking and talking by now. But, since Ashley was half human, she still hadn't walked yet, let alone even muttered a word. She tried desperately to understand what everybody was saying, but she still had no clue. All their words ran together and they all sounded the same.
Vair was now at their bedside, debating whether or not to awaken his sleeping soon-to-be step-dad. He looked so peaceful, lying there, no disturbances at all. Vair decided to wait until later for Ash to wake up on his own, so that he wouldn't yell at Vair. Vair, disappointed now, went on his way back to his room. However, he stopped when he heard someone else getting out of the bed. He carefully investigated the mysterious sound, finding the source to be the room across from him. "Uh-oh, Ajay, Pikachu, and Espeon are in there! I hope they aren't hurt." Vair thought to himself as he burst into the room, hoping they were all alright.
"Hey?!? What's the big idea?" Ajay yelled as he wasn't as much surprised as he was perturbed. "I heard some noises and thought you guys were in trouble. But now I see that you were the noise, so I'll be going back to bed." Vair replied as he went towards the door. "Wait! Vair, do you want to train a little? I want to spend some time getting to know you and I think you will like this new move I have to show you." Ajay asked, trying to strike a connection with his biological son. "Sure, Ash is fast asleep and I wanted to do something while I was awake, so, yeah, I'll go." Vair happily answered.
He followed Ajay out the door and down the hall. "So, Vair, what sports do you like to play?" He desperately wanted to find out more about Vair and it easily showed. "Well, I like pretty much any sport that gets me active, especially the ones where I get to fight someone. When I battle against another pokemon, I get a rush of excitement, knowing that I am more powerful than someone else. But with my small arsenal of moves, I don't win that often. So, what move are you going to show me?" Vair asked, dying to know. "You'll see, hold your horses." Ajay answered. (I love that expression, even though I have no idea what it means. Do any of you know? By the way, that was a rhetorical question. I don't care what hold your horses came from.)
Vair hoped down the stairs, eager to find out about this new move. Ajay followed with his normal calm demeanor, looking like he was too good for his surroundings and therefore, didn't care. Except, Ajay did care, this was his son. (Trying to act all macho, and deep. I don't like people who do that because I can't tell what they are thinking. Act what you feel and feel what you act. I hope you can understand that. Let's see, kind of like say what you mean and mean what you say, but replace say and mean with act and feel.) He wasn't going to break his usual laid-back persona with his happiness. He kept on walking as Vair bounced around him, asking about the move all the way to the open field he planned on using.
"You ready Vair? You better warm up a little bit so you can be loose. Here, start by stretching your leg and arms, you use them the most." Ajay suggested as he began stretching his body. Vair followed his stretches, making sure not to miss a thing so that he could learn the new move quickly. He wanted Ash to train him today too, and he thought Ash would be thrilled with his brand new move. "Now remember, moves aren't easily learned, they take practice and determination. The move I am going to show you is called Sky Uppercut, I know it's a pretty dumb name, but this move is really useful in transferring the battle to the air. This way, you can hit them down to the ground, causing them a considerable amount of damage. So, without further ado, let's get Sky Uppercut into action. Here, watch me demonstrate it on this tree."
With that, Ajay bolted for the tree. When it was just a little bit before his reach, he bent down a little, still running, and then lifted his whole body in a spinning fashion, punching upwards at the tree throughout. He connects sending the tree up and out of its roots and lifting it up about 20 or so feet, then crashing back down on the ground. "You don't need to run for this move, but I always seem to benefit from the running. Try it on this shrub. Remember to bend down until your shoulders line up with your knees, then explode upward twisting your body continuously while hitting your target. The initial punch sets them off-balance and the spinning makes them lose their grounding entirely, causing them to lift off the ground. Also, make sure to jump because the extra jump sometimes is needed to get the target off the ground quicker and sends them higher up than you would without jumping. You should land having done a perfect 360O, landing softly on your feet. It seems hard, but you should get the hang of it in no time." Vair nodded understanding fully and took off at the tiny shrub, a little mad that he wasn't trying for something bigger. The shrub wasn't even tall enough to reach his shoulders, and Vair was only 4'8". He got back on focus and tried remembering everything Ajay had explained to him. Because he was focusing on his next step so much, he didn't even notice the twig sticking out of the ground and he tripped on it. He fell head over heals, rolling and eventually slamming his head against the shrub. Ajay showed his first emotions since the night of the fight, bursting up laughing and falling on the ground in hysterics. After regaining his cool, he got back up and helped Vair up to his feet.
"Ok, how about this time, we actually get to the target and attempt the move. Try it again." Ajay once again said as he had gotten all the laughter out of his system beforehand. Vair didn't even mutter a word as he once again tried the move. He wasn't going to make a fool of himself again. He went even faster now and concentrated hard, making sure to not trip over anything. He approached the shrub perfectly, bending down with his shoulders in the correct position and exploding upwards right into the dead center of the target. He didn't even have time to see the shrub as he completed the move, spinning appropriately. The shrub flowed up and flew through the sky, just like Ajay did. Ajay stared in disbelief as he saw Vair standing there triumphantly over his masterpiece. The shrub landed, crashing down, next to him and Vair didn't even flinch, feeling as if he was an impenetrable fortress, standing over his kill. "Wow, Vair! That was amazing, let me see that again." Vair gleamed as he did the move again, now on a regular tree, like Ajay had done. "Yes, that was amazing. I'll see you later." The voice wasn't heard by either Vair or Ajay. It came from inside the forest. Behind a tree, someone turned around and walked away, remaining in the shadows and never turning back.
Dante woke up, yawning in a daze, still trying to wake up. He looked out the window seeing the beautiful sun shining in its pedestal in the sky. He turned to see Ash and Jade laying peacefully in the bed. His morning was already ruined as he watched Ash and Jade together in the bed. After their trip away, he began to feel even closer to Ash, if that was even possible. Ash was still confused about Dante and his friendship, but Dante hadn't picked up on this yet. Dante, after feeling crushed, came back to his senses and went up to Ash, licking his face trying to wake him up. Ash's eyes slowly opened as Dante's wet tongue kept licking him. "Stop, stop it. Not now Jade." Ash said as he playfully swiped at the tongue. But Dante stopped as he once again felt destroyed by Ash's comment. The first thing he thought about was Jade, not him. Dante walked away from Ash slowly, devastated. As Ash began to fully awaken, recognizing his environment, he noticed Dante lethargically walking away. He turned to see Jade, still sleeping and before he could say anything to Dante, Dante was already out the door.
"Why did it have to be him? Of all the people I could of fallen for, it had to be the guy already taken. What am I going to do?" Dante slowly built up until he began shouting at the sky, questioning why some puppet master was being so cruel. He was already outside when he did this, keeping it bottled up in the hotel to make sure it wasn't heard by anyone else. This attempt of his must of failed because a bird flew out of one of the nearby trees, supposively overhearing what Dante just said. "Wait, who are you talking about? Don't you mean her?" Staravia asked, landing in front of the startled Arcanine. Dante stared down at the ground as he answered her: "No, it is him... I'm gay. And not just for anyone, I'm gay for Ash. I don't know what to do anymore. It is so hard to watch him and Jade in the same room with all that chemistry they have together. I need help!" He began bawling as he threw his arms around Staravia and held her tight, a little too tight. (Dante seems to be a crybaby when it comes to relationships, but then again, would you be able to keep a straight face if you had to watch the girl/guy you loved with someone else? Probably not, and if you are able to, then you have no soul! Or some other reason, but it is most likely that you have no soul.)
"You too, I thought I was the only one. I know it is hard, but we'll pull through together." Staravia choked up as she tried to get some oxygen during Dante's emotional hug. Akuti's head popped out from behind a tree and ran up with an idea. "I know! Let's create a club, the I Love Ash Club. We can think of a more creative title later, but still, let's do it." Akuti yelled, running into the hug. "Where did you come from?" Dante and Staravia asked at the same time. "I was hiding behind that tree, watching from afar at everything. That's when I saw you two talking about Ash and I knew I had to talk about my desire for Ash. A club would be the best way for us to channel our feelings for him into. Com'on, whadya say?" She asked, still hugging Dante and Staravia. "I don't know, if we do, no one must ever find out, unless they confess to you their quest for Ash, but that is it." Staravia added. "Ok then, it's settled. We will have our first meeting in Ash's room when Ash goes out training with Vair and Jade meets up with Dawn who should be arriving here very soon. We will continue this conversation there, it is too risky out here where anyone can here us.
Vair came skipping back to the hotel with Ajay following him, strolling as he watched his son dance with joy over something he did for him. Pride flowed through his veins as he climbed those long, menacing stairs. Even though he never showed it, he was always dead tired after a work-out or training, or anything like that. He took a long inhale as he reached the top of the stairs. Vair ran into Ash's room where Ash was now up and almost fully ready. "Hey Vair, ready for your training today?" Ash asked, knowing he was always ready for training. "Ash, can we wait an hour or so? I'm a little tired and I need some rest." Vair asked. "Ok, but don't turn on the TV, your mother is trying to sleep." Ash answered back. He was shocked by this; Vair always wanted to train in the morning. Ash hadn't had time to himself ever since Ashley was born, he didn't know what to do with his free time. Since Vair was going to be resting for a while, he went out of the room to go find someone to hang out with.
Ash traveled down the hallway, looking into each room as he went. First, he looked into Espeon & Pikachu's hotel room. Espeon was asleep, but Pikachu was wide awake. Except, he was laying down right next to her, staring at her, never wanting to miss a moment with her. Ash would have wanted to talk to Pikachu, but refrained himself thinking that if he was laying down next to Jade, he wouldn't want to be interrupted like this. So he kept walking into Brock, Claire, Ajay, and Vair's room. (Ajay was sleeping in Pikachu and Espeon's bedroom that night because he got in late the previous night and he didn't want to wake up Claire.) Claire and Brock were lying fast asleep on the bed while Ajay was resting on his bed. Ash skipped over this room for now seeing as Ajay looked pretty tired. He thought to himself: "Wow, wonder what could possibly make Ajay tired?" He pondered this for a couple of seconds until he was suddenly interrupted by a loud, screeching voice shouting "AAAASSSHH!" Ash's body jolted as he was spooked out of his mind by the sudden yell. Dawn was now running down the hallway to him.
"Hey Dawn, how was your vacation with your mom?" Ash asked as Dawn jumped on him, wrapping her arms around him. She was hugging him so tight that his breathing slowed to a halt, making her jump back off him only after he was gasping for air. "It was wonderful. I hadn't spoke to my mom in a very long time, so when I heard she was near, I ran over to the neighboring town she was in. We used to live here in Twinleaf Town, but after I set out to become a pokemon trainer, my mom moved to the Johto region, bouncing around from town to town never really having a solid place to call home. I was just so happy to see her. But now I'm back, so, what did I miss?" Dawn asked, clueless about the prior events. Ash could have said a lot of things to her, but he wanted to keep that a secret between Akuti, Dante, and him. (I haven't added my own thoughts in here for a while; I need to get back on the ball.)
"O, well nothing much has happened here, same old same old. What about you, anything special happen on your trip?" Ash asked, his head still clouded with the memories of that night near the lake. The transformation of Akuti had been unexpected and her sudden feelings and actions towards him caught him off guard. She used to be such a cute little girl, but now she grew up so fast that Ash still viewed her as the little Torchic he found only a couple months prior. He snapped back to his senses when after Dawn was done rambling about something, she reached for two pokeballs on her belt and released the captive pokemon inside. However, instead of seeing the usual Piplup or Buneary, out came a dazed Lopunny. (Ooo, yeah! Another sexy character, let's see how she ties in with the story...) "Hello, Lopunny, when did you evolve?" Ash asked the still awaking pokemon. "Well, we were jogging on our way here, and Buneary saw a pour Pidgey wounded on the ground with its wing broken. She grabbed our attention and after rushing the hurt Pidgey to the Pokecenter and hearing about its full recovery, Buneary evolved into Lopunny knowing she helped out a desperate pokemon in need of help. (Why does it seem a lot of pokemon are wounded? I need to get a better writer... err... I mean... never mind. This didn't just happen. When I count to 3 and you read snap on the screen, you will be under my control. 1..2..3.. 'snap'. Ok, you did not read about me using another writer for this story, that is a lie. A lie. Also, while I'm at it, you will give this story 5 stars/10 out of 10 because it is the best chapter you have ever read. When you read snap again on the screen, you will be back to normal reading my awesome story. 'Snap' Welcome back, now onto the story.)
"Nice, now keep quiet and out of sight until everyone is awake and well-rested. I want it to be a big surprise to everyone when you return. Ok, just hide in your normal room, no one is in there now, I think. I got to go find Dante. Have you seen him?" Ash once again wanting to see his friend. "O yeah, he's outside a little past the courtyard with Akuti and Staravia. Why?" Dawn replied. Ash didn't have time to answer her as he ran down the stairs as soon as he heard this. Who knows what they could have been talking about? He had, well, for lack of a better word, made love to them and now they were all talking to each other, alone. What if they were all talking about him! He dashed even faster out the door and quickly found the group having a conversation right where Dawn had told him.
The three pokemon, hopelessly devoted to Ash, were discussing their first times with Ash, describing every crucial detail. Staravia had explained her time first, then Dante was about half-way into his story when Ash ran up and dove into them, toppling them all to the ground. He panicked not knowing which route to handle the problem. During his thought process, his mind acted on its own, taking hold of his body and he tackled them all down. The three suitors to Ash laid there, entranced in his lovely sparkling eyes. They each saw their own futures with him in just those eyes. They sighed as Ash got to his knees and they too pushed themselves back up. "What... are... you guys... talking... about?" Ash panted as he tried to get in a full sentence. The new club members stared at each other trying to think of an excuse. "Well..." Staravia attempted at creating a story, but was cut short by Akuti. "We were just..." Akuti too tried at getting something out in the open, but Dante took the reigns of the conversation and explained to Ash: "We were just talking about how much we miss our families. We all found you, wounded and discontent, but we still had families and we were just relieving...past memories." Dante stuttered out as he began to swell up with fake tears. He looked over at Staravia and Akuti, giving them a look as if to say: "Help me out here." So, they too began to cry and Ash jumped back, unprepared for what was taking place in front of him. He had come down here assuming the worst, and he was just being paranoid. "Ok, well, com'on up now. We are all about to wake up and after my training with Vair, I want to do something as a group." Ash told them, taking Akuti's hand and motioning for the others to follow.
Akuti almost fainted like a little girl finally meeting NSYNC. (Except for the fact that Lance is gay. Dante would be pleased though.) Dante and Staravia flew/ran up to Ash, trying to get his attention to them the most. Dante ran under Ash's open arm and nudged him as they walked up the stairs. Staravia took it upon herself to get up on Ash's shoulders. After many failed attempts, desperate for attention, she grabbed Ash's lucky hat and flew off with it up the stairs. "Hey! Give me that." Ash yelled chasing after her leaving Dante and Akuti in the dust. Dante and Akuti both glared at the sight of Staravia taking such a low, cheap shot like that. They both raced after Ash and Staravia, angry that someone would take such a sweet moment like the one they had away from them just out of jealousy.
(Ok, I know this doesn't have anything to do with the story, but I found that gas is only $2.26! I am going to go fill up and then come back to writing... Ok, I'm back now, so on with the story. I say that too much, 'on with the story' or some stupid variation of it, I need to get a new ... stopped while I was ahead there.)
Staravia flew into Claire, Brock, etc's bedroom and dove underneath the bed Claire and Brock were still sleeping on. (Wonder what they were doing that would make them so tired? Ok, now I've gone over the limit. I'm restricting my comments until I can find a nice balance between the story and my personal comments. But you know you love them.) Ash caught a slight glimpse of Staravia flying into Brock's room, so he chased after her into the room. "Staravia, give me back my hat!" Ash screamed, not noticing the peaceful lovers on the bed, still asleep, or were asleep. Claire blinked as she looked around at her surroundings, seeing whose voice matched whose body. Ajay was sitting on his bed, silently looking at the scene playing out in front of him. He smiled a little and wished he had some popcorn for the performance. She then turned to see Ash, staring back at her in disbelief. He was now in for it. "ASH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I WAS SLEEPING! YOU KNOW THAT I DON'T WANT TO BE AWAKEN, EVER!" Claire was now in a full-blown rage, having no control of herself in such a state. Brock was, of course, woken up by now and tried to calm down Claire a bit, but knew there was very little he could do when she was like this. "I was just trying to get my hat back..." Ash moaned as he knew he was dead meat. "I ought to..." Claire began to get off the bed as she said this, but was stopped when she heard a tiny voice peep out from under the bed. "It was my fault, I flew in here trying to hide and apparently, he followed me and woke you up. It is my fault, I'm sorry." Staravia barely squeaked out, her voice trailing off from time to time. "Ok, well, get out for now and I will be ready in an hour. Just go for now." Claire sunk back into her bed, her anger now dispersed after hearing the scared Staravia appear from under her bed. Everyone but Brock and Ajay stayed in with Claire, which made Staravia and Ash very happy to get out of there alive.
Up from the steps arrived Akuti and Dante, mad as hell, glaring at Staravia but never daring to say a word about it until they had their meeting. Ash bid them adue and headed towards his room for his early morning training with Vair, except now it was half-past noon. The three pokemon members all went into separate rooms, Dante with Ash of course, Akuti with Dawn, and Staravia with the now awake Pikachu and Espeon.
After convincing Vair that the TV was still going to be there when he got back, (he must of forgot about his rule he had given to Vair) Ash led Vair down to the training area that Vair had already used before, unknowingst to Ash. "Ok Vair, let's start with some stretching to loosen the muscles." Ash instructed as he began to lift his leg up with his opposite hand, feeling the burn in his thigh. "That's alright Ash, I already stretched with Ajay today when he trained me." Vair replied with a sound of happiness in his voice. "Ajay trained you? What did he teach you?" Ash asked, growing angry over the fact that Ajay got to his son before he could. "Yeah, Ajay trained me. I didn't want to wake you because you seemed so peaceful, and that's when I found Ajay was awake and he told me he wanted to show me a new move. So, we came down here and practiced this awesome move." Vair explained, again sounding dignified as he spoke. "Ajay did, did he?" Ash was fuming now, but concealed it well. "What move was it?" Ash gritted through his teeth. "Sky Uppercut, here, let me show you."
With that, Vair went into a mad dash towards one of the big oak trees at the other end of the clearing. Doing as he was told, he bent before exploding upwards, twisting like a coil and uppercutting the tree head on. He landed once again in the way he was told exactly. He turned around to show his dad his latest masterpiece. "Do you like it?" He asked, panting and waiting for his dad's admiration. Ash however was mesmerized by the tree hurdling up into the air. The only problem was, it was heading right for him. Ash leaped out of the way just in time as the tree landed with a 'thud', right where he had been previously standing only moments ago. Vair's excitement wiped off his face like an eraser on a whiteboard as he could only see dust fly up from where Ash once stood. "Daddy? DADDY!!!" Vair realized what happened and now got on all fours as he began rushing towards him going excessively fast. As Ash got up from his near death experience, he witnessed Vair racing along towards him, looking almost like a blur going across the ground. Ash was taken aback by the sight of his son going at such ludicrous speeds. The first time he ran over to the other side of the clearing took about half-a-minute. Now, Vair had raced over the same distance in about 10 seconds! His body began to reappear when he started to slow down after seeing Ash. However, he was going way too fast and rammed into his poor, helpless dad. (I'm just going to refer to Ash as dad from now on for Vair unless both Ash and Ajay are in the same scene. Hey, I held in my comments for a good while and this doesn't even really count because I was still talking about the story.)
Lying atop his dad, Vair asked "Daddy! I thought I lost you." He began bawling into Ash's shirt, not knowing what he would do without Ash. "Don't worry about it Vair, that move was awesome. And that super fast run you just made is a move called extremespeed. It is usually used in battle to connect two moves to create one super-move. Those two moves were just so great that I think I am going to show you another new move. I wanted to wait until later, when you were ready, but you seem very capable of handling the move now. This move is very strong and is the basis of opening up a whole arsenal of new moves for any Lucario. Here, first, get off me." Ash calmly questioned as Vair leaped off his fallen dad and grabbed his hand, easily lifting him up without even trying too hard. "Secondly, stand apart from me and listen to everything I say. Ok?" Ash instructed that was responded by Vair's usual "Yes." "Ok then, let's get started on your third move of the day. Today must be your lucky day because I would have never taught you so many moves so close together."
"First off, I want you to tell me what aura is. You do know, right?" Ash asked, scared after he wasn't getting any response. "Well, I've heard about it, but I don't know what it is exactly. Do you know?" Vair questioned back. He had indeed heard about aura before, but he had no idea what it was beyond the fact that Lucarios rely on it for most of their move lists. "Well, you see, aura is... here, we'll ask the best source." Ash told him, taking his hand. "Ajay?" Vair once again asked. Ash's anger skyrocketed at this. "NO! No... Jade." Vair was shocked by Ash's answer. "But why not Ajay, Jade hasn't fought as much as him and she..." "BECAUSE I SAID! Now follow me." Ash with Vair trailing him kept on walking until they got to Ash's room. Jade was now awake and getting changed while Dante relaxed, playing with Ashley.
"Hey Jade, I need your help with this. Can you teach Vair about aura?" Ash asked. "I could, but I think you should consult with Ajay on this. Ajay? Can you come in here?" Jade shouted out down the hall. "I don't need Ajay! Can everyone understand that?" Ash firmly told her, not raising his voice, but making his point very clean. However, Ajay was already on his way over to the room.
"You need me?" Ajay asked, in his normal laid back tone. "NO! We DON'T need you and to top it off, why did you teach Vair a new move without consulting me?" Ash yelled back, his normal pacifist behavior completely blown apart. "Hey, get this, I'm his father, not you. In fact, I should be teaching him this stuff and you should be the one up here, doing nothing. Ever think of that?" Ajay recriminated. "Hey! You can't show up one day and start dictating how you are going to run my child's life. I have been with him a lot longer than you have." Ash shouted, getting angrier and angrier, if that's even possible. "Can we not do this here?" Jade asked, concerned for her children's trust in their father. Dante tried to calm down Ashley as the yelling made her cry hysterically. "No, this has to be handled now. And how dare you say you have been with him longer than me? You have been, but that doesn't mean you know him better than me. I bet you don't know his favorite ice cream flavor, do ya?" Ajay smiled as Ash's face drew a blank. "Chocolate Peanut-Butter Cup, so how well do you really know him." Ajay smirked as he thought he had won, but Ash shot back with another question. "Ok, I didn't know that, but do you know his favorite television show?" Ash in turn smiled as Ajay got lost in deep thought. "EEAAHH! Times up. It's Animals, now who knows him better?" Ash didn't have time to gloat as Ajay went up into his face. They both started yelling at each other, making the two combined voices sound like inhuman yells.
"STOP IT!" Vair shouted, halting both Ajay and Ash in their tracks. "Can't you see you are both acting like idiots? Neither one of you deserves to call themselves my father." Vair wanted to stomp out of the room with this last statement, but felt obligated to stay and hear their responses. Both Ash and Ajay began to appeal their cases to the high court. (Metaphor of high court instead of Vair, just in case you didn't catch that. And if you don't know what metaphors are, then you are a lost cause.) "One at a time! Geez. You know what, why are you even fighting? You both are like fathers to me, why can't I have two? You both can act together on acting as a father figure to me; why not give it a try? Ash excels at some things while Ajay excels at the others. You two together will be the perfect role model for me." Vair finally got the two to quiet down. Ajay and Ash thought about this and looked at each other, knowing that they were both being complete idiots, like Vair had said. "Ok, now that we got that over with, how about we play a thrilling game of Auraball. Com'on, everyone can play. How about it?" Ajay asked now after the two dads were now, once again, friends. Everyone in the room nodded, except for Dante who decided to seize this opportunity for his important meeting. He needed to talk to Staravia about that stunt she pulled earlier, among other things. Ajay, Ash, and the rest of the group now went into every other rooms to recruit more players for their game. Everyone except Dante, Staravia, Akuti, and Ashley of course, went outside for the big game.
After all members had gathered around Ash's bed, the meeting started with Akuti giving the opening remarks, seeing as she started the club. "Okay, now to begin the first ever meeting of the, as of now, untitled club. But you know our purpose. To love Ash and talk about it, I think. We all love Ash, how about that, a gathering of people who love Ash uncontrollably. Now to get one thing off my chest, we don't hate Jade, we are just jealous that she got to him first. Now, first order of business, what to do about the constant battling between us for Ash's attention. Evidence A: being Staravia's little sly trick earlier today." Akuti preached to the listening two and a half people. (Ashley counts as half a person because she may not understand what they were saying, but she was listening.) "Hey! I only did it because you two were hogging him up. I wanted him too." Staravia stood up as she told her side of the story. "And here's what we are going to do about that. No person or body of persons can intrude on another's chances on Ash. We can't interfere or meddle with another member's attempts. Love is not always fair, but true love will eventually fall to the deserving one."
Akuti paused for a while as they all, once again, thought about Ash and them together, living their own lives. They seemed to do this a lot lately, at least three times a day. At night, all three of them sometimes pleasured themselves to the thought of him and them together, and they all had experience with him. It may have not always been the best experiences (I'm looking at you Akuti,) but they all used those visions as a base for their sexual joy. But Akuti got out of her dream and began to speak once again. "Ok, Ash is outside playing Auraball and we need to decide who gets him today, just so we aren't fighting for him the whole time down there. I think I'll take today." Akuti told them. "Why should you have Ash today, I should have Ash if anyone, I'm his best friend." Dante spoke up for the first time in the meeting. "Hey, who was the one who met Ash first? Me, I should get him today." Staravia replied. This caused an uproar in the once peaceful meeting. They all yelled at how one should have Ash over the other two. "Ash should be mine!" Someone spoke. "No, he's mine today. You can have what's left of him tomorrow." Another one piped up.
"Aassh." Someone quietly spoke. This was drowned out by the yelling though. "Ash. ASH!" Everyone became quiet at this as they turned to see Ashley giggling as she shouted out "ASH!" Over and over again. "O my God, Ashley said her first word. Heh, do you think our meeting had anything to do with this?" Dante laughed as he picked Ashley up by the neck, holding her in his mouth as he ran down to the game.
