Open Legend of the Stone Tablet

Wow.

He was asking way too many questions. She wished he would stop talking to her and yet at the same time she did like the attention...

Too bad she had nothing interesting to say. And that was why she felt nervous... anything to get her out of this awkward conversation. She would've even gone over to the Angry Weird Girl...

"Uhh... I dunno... I guess I'm okay..." Still she spoke in that dry voice.

Graaah, she hated her lack of social skills.
 
Ashley raised her eyebrows at the strange old man who had been blocking the exit.

Alright...that's one person I need to try and avoid...

Ashley let out her Magikarp, since everybody else seemed to be letting out their Pokemon, and headed out the exit. She couldn't help but notice a boy and girl talking together, though.

Haha, they got dates already?

Swimmy quietly slithered next to Ashley, not quite sure where he was going. Then again, Ashley wasn't too sure where she was headed either.
 
"I think I should go to my dorm..." Ava muttered to her friends. "See you later!" She walked rather hurriedly down the hall, but slowed down soon. Was it time yet?

Josephine was anxiously hopping up and down in front of Ava. "I'm hungry!"

"Sorry," said Ava. "I don't have any food."

Ava stopped next to the wall and waited.
 
Aria followed behind Ava. "I-I'm coming too!" She stopped next to her, but kept a sharp eye out for "Mr. Weirdo." Onestar followed behind, also wondering where the man went. "Where are our dorms, anyway?" He asked.

"I actually don't know," Aria replied. She turned to Ava. "Do you know where the dorms are?"
 
Ashley turned around to Ava and Aria. "I don't know where the dorms are either!" she told them. "But I am not asking that crazy dude where they are!"
 
"Me neither." Aria shook her head. Onestar crossed his arms and did the same. "I'm tired of him already!" He was careful not to alert the man into coming back.
 
Jason nodded. "Right. Are you thinking abut going to the dance?" he asked. The Charmander tugged at his shirt, pointing down the hall. The not-so-obvious female Charmander seemed impatient to get to the room. "Calm down Flare, we'll get there soon." Jason ordered the Charmander. In response, the small lizard wrapped her tail around her body.
 
Oh crap.

Not this. She knew it was coming, she just knew it.

What was she going to do? How was she going to react to this? What was she going to say? To do? She didn't want to go to this dance... gaah, so much pressure! Her slow mind desperately tried to think. Think of what she could say. She just stood there, avoiding his eyes carefully, hesitating for a full minute.

"Uhhh... maybe."

Wrong answer, Arylett, wrong answer.
 
"Sure, why not!" Eric happily replied. Tsunami, meanwhile, started to hit his head. Repeatedly. Against a wall.

Eric looked over to the Totodile. "Why is he hitting his head? It's as if he thinks he has a trainer completely oblivious to subtle signs..." Eric then blinked. "Which, I guess, he technically does..."
 
Stefan grabbed Eric's hand and smiled.
"Eric you are oblivious to subtle signs," he said shyly, "Open your eyes. I like you as more than a friend."
Stefan noticed the Totodile and laughed.
At least the student is smarter than the teacher. he thought to himself.
 
Eric raised an eyebrow. "Best friend?" he asked, confused. His Totodile sweatdrop

"TOTOTOTOTOTOTODILE! DILE TOTO! DILE!" he screamed out, as if saying Eric was a complete and total idiot that he was surprised hadn't died from drinking drain cleaner yet

The Aipom came down and heard all this. Harsh... True, but harsh... it thought
 
"No Eric. As in I want to be your boyfriend. Your "lover". It's fairly simple." he said kinda annoyed.
Can't he just get it through his head?! IT'S FAIRLY OBVIOUS! he thought to himself.
Stefan was kinda angry but he wouldn't show it. Not in front of Eric.

(( Isa your character can't be that stupid after this. He flat out told him this time ))
 
Jason nodded. "I see. Well if you do go, mind go with me?" he asked, a blush creeping slowly up his face. Flare just stared on in amusement. My trainer is...interesting, the young lizard thought to herself.
 
Still Arkra continued to watch the two humans... the male appeared to be changing colour and the female kept fidgeting and twitching around.

Dammit.

What was she going to do now? This had never happened before... she hadn't forseen this possibility. She thought she could get out of the dance, scot-free!

What now? WHAT now?

Immediately she ran over the list of possibilities.

Reject him was the first one that came to mind. But how...?

"I'm gay." She wasn't really gay but it would get him off of her. Or at least, she hoped.

And she could've done it the blunt monotone way, a simple "No..."

Dammit, what the hell was she supposed to do? She never knew how to handle these situations... she stood there, for a very long time this time, hesitating. Quickly Arylett, quickly! Move those lips of yours! Do it now. Do it now!

"Ummm.... eerrrrr...." Say something, dammit. "Yes?"

Wrong answer again.
 
Jason nodded his head in response. "Good then. I'll see you later then. Good-bye." he called, wheeling around. Flare thumped her tail happily as Jason wheeled off. Pointing, Jason wheeled in the direction she was pointing. "Smart little kid you are." he told the Charmander.
 
Eric blinked. The Totodile watched this and wondered how his owner would react. The Aipom sat in the doorway, wondering when the trainer would start strangling the other guy

"Oh. Well, I'm not gay, so sorry. But we can still be friends!" Eric replied cheerfully, then laughed. "And for the last while, I thought that kiss was some sort of tradition from where you came from!"
 
Shit shit shit.

Gaaah! What had she done? She wasn't thinking when she said that! Was. Not. Thinking! What was her problem? Arylett was immediately angry with herself, why couldn't she just have said no? Stupid slow thinking mind... she blurted something out without even thinking. Her fury at her inability to say what she was actually thinking broiled and even more at her complete lack of social skills.

This was going to be a HUGE disaster.

Her heart was beating insanely fast. Carefully she relived the encounter within her mind, what had just happened, sharply criticizing and ripping apart her responses to him so badly that she had become firmly convinced of her stupidity. She had made a fool of herself! Why did she have to be so stupid?

"Come on, let's go."

The Horsea looked up at her human very curiously. Something appeared to be bothering her... hmm.

Arkra nodded and bounded off to the dorms, her grim faced trainer following.
 
"Where is that professor anyway?" Aria wondered aloud, hopefully not calling him in. Onestar tilted his head. "He's not in here, that's for sure. Otherwise, we would be in a weird situation, possibly with.... someone else..." The almost antisocial Abra shuddered. He had only been friends with Aria before, because of the star on his head. His wild friends had thought it was a bad omen, but it actually let Onestar control his powers better.
"Thanks for liking me for who I am," he stuttered to Aria.
Aria shrugged, then held him tight. Onestar blushed.
 
A HUGE disaster indeed!

What the hell had she gotten herself into? Gaaah! SO stupid! She was one of the stupidest people who ever existed. It was like she lacked all basic intelligence! Stupid lack of confidence... stupid lack of social skills! This was their fault, if not for them, she wouldn't have to be worrying about this. And it was her own fault for being so obsessive, a normal person wouldn't obsessive over something like a little awkward conversation so much. But then again... she was just such an idiot in that conversation.

Absentmindedly Arylett followed the bouncing Horsea, not giving any thought to where she was even going. All she could think of was how much of a fool of herself she had made.

And yet...

She was excited at the same time.

This was something new! Something she'd never, ever done. And wow, nobody had ever asked her out to anywhere before. It was just crazy. And yet, very flattering. Hmm... perhaps she was somewhat attractive after all. The girl grinned stupidly to herself. Confidence was nice.

And she walked after the Pokémon into her new dormitory, ambivalent thoughts of the dance still swirling in her mind.
 
Tala finally stopped pretending she didn't exist, and gently put her Dratini down. The Dragon-type quickly started to slither away, heading for what the girl assumed was her dorm. So, one couple had already formed. That was just great - less people who might try and ask her. Fixing a scowl on her face that promised death to anyone who came near, she stomped after her Pokemon. This stupid dance is one I'm going to definitely avoid. Crowds, loud music, lights... All the stuff I can't stand! Why can't they just leave me alone? Damned if I'm just going to agree to everything the teachers say and go along. This whole thing is probably because of my mom! I bet they're going to have someone follow me to make sure 'nothing happens'. Right. She stopped for a moment, whirling around to see if anyone was behind her, before following the Dratini again. And so, privately raging, Tala reached her dorm in the right mood to just snap the door off its hinges and toss it through a window.
