From: Dryad48 <dryad48@aol.com> Subject: [PW!] Business Before Pleasure? Date: Sunday, May 09, 1999 6:41 PM Derrick watched Floe rush into her room and take out something. "There is something," she said, "you have that I am interested in." Floe placed her hand near Derrick's waist and grabbed..... Derrick jumped to his feet and backed up. "Stay back!" "wha?" Floe looked up. "As beautiful as you are, I'm not going to lose my virginity tonight." "I don't understand. Lose your virginity?" "Well, you tried to grab my.." "Ha ha ha ha!" "What are you laughing about?" "I was just trying to grab one of your balls!" "Excuse me?" Derrick was backed up into the corner of the room, covering his crotch. "Slut." "Let me rephrase. I was going to get one of the balls in that sack of yours." She tried to sound serious. "WHAT?" "No, no, no," Floe couldn't help from laughing. "I was reaching for one of your poke balls. Why would I want to sleep with you?" "Ohh, uhh....ummm, sorry.." Derrick was both embarassed and heartbroken. After all, he still had a slight crush on her. "I am no slut," she added. "Sorry.." "Yeah, me to." Derrick unhooked the brown sack which contained his poke balls and tossed to to her. Then, he slowly came back cautiously to the table where Floe sat. She was checking the poke balls by feeling, tapping, and listening to them. "Ahh," she said to one poke ball. "There you are." "What is going on?" "When I said I wanted something from you," she explained, "I didn't mean I wanted your lovin." She let out the pokemon. "Cloyster." "I'd like to have the honor of training Cloyster." "I've already discussed this with your grandpa and the answer is.." "No.." "Exactly." "No, wait. I am keeping Jinx, but I know that you would like an Oddish." She let out the cute little raddish pokemon. "So, what do you think? I caught her north of this house. Is it a fair trade?" "Uhh...no?" Derrick was still shaken from the "misunderstanding." "Come on, I know you prefer grass type pokemon over ice." "It's just that I have had Cloyster for a long time. Ever since the Seafoam Islands." He looked at Cloyster. and it answered back by sticking its tounge out at him and going over to Floe. "Well, he doesn't seem to agree with you." "What I don't understand." "Cloyster." He had a hatening stare on Derrick. Derrick tried to understand why. "I know you hate me," he said to Cloyster. "But why?" He flashed back on all the times Cloyster tried to cause mutiny when talking to Arbok. Suddenly, an idea lightbulb flashed on over his head. "It's getting dark now," Floe spoke as she turned the living room light on. "Oh, I get it now," Derrick slapped himself in the head. "What?" asked Floe. "Cloyster does not and never will like me because I prefer plant and bug pokemon over the rest." Cloyster nodded. "Cloyster..." "I'll let you stay with Floe, Cloyster." For the first time, Cloyster smiled at Derrick. "You will be much happier with an ice trainer." "YESS!!" they both exclaimed. ----------The Next Morning---------- Derrick left Floe's house and ran into Kathy. "Thanks Derrick!" Floe shouted to him. "U huh.." Kathy said. "Thank you for what?" she asked Derrick. "Did you get lucky last night?" "Nope. But we traded pokemon." "Whatever." she frowned. "What?" Derrick asked. "I am still a virgin." Kathy rolled her eyes. Floe watched Derrick walk off with what she thought was his girl friend. "Sigh, maybe we'll meet again someday." She turned to see Jinx's poke ball with a stamp and the words: To Cinnabar. "POP!" she shouted to the upstairs. "I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"
