Five Marias stood in a cluster, four of them primping the fifth like
there was no tomorrow...or no yesterday, either. Memuyo stood a little
ways off, already having lost track of which was which.
"Thanks, all of you." The fifth blushed. "I really don't know what to
say."
"No need say anything. Just win. Actually, just go on stage - win
almost automatic."
The fifth studied the other speaker, then hugged her and gave her a long
kiss.
Another one sweatdropped. "Why Maria kiss Seth?"
Maria broke off. "Uhh..."
"Because Seth her son," yet another replied.
The last one blinked. "Why are you all speaking like that?"
Maria pointed at the last one. "Ok, *you're* not Mimic."
"That's right, I'm Dra-oh, I see! Err, umm, Mimic see?"
"Mimic see just fine," the kissed one replied.
Marias number two and three giggled, then shifted back into Seth and
Aerie. Maria number four took the cue to morph back into Drake, leaving
Maria number five holding Maria number one, who was still smiling from
the kiss.
The real Maria rolled her eyes. "Alright, all of you. The contest is
about to start; we'd better get-" and then she was gone.
'Maria' hit the ground rolling. "Maria? No tell Mimic Maria could
teleport."
"She can't. Not under her own power, anyway. So I teleported her for
you."
Drake and 'Maria' looked around, until Seth grabbed what looked like a
boom microphone. Yanking once, he jerked a certain black Mew down to
eye level. "I'm only going to ask once. Where did you send Maria?"
"Not 'where', but 'when'." Vortex smiled, until Seth yanked his tail
like a doll's pullstring. "She and her pokemon will appear at some
point in the future. Until then, you get to miss her! Take *THAT* for
disrupting my plans, Mimic!"
'Maria' built up an aura of obvious anger, but stayed silent for the
moment.
"Oh, and you two - Seth and Aerie, was it? You helped. So take this!"
One wave of the Mew's paw, MissingNo. in hand, and Seth was gone too.
Aerie gaped for just a millisecond, but had recovered her compsure by
the time Vortex looked at her. "Hmph. Whatever. If my boy toy ain't
around, I can always do Mimic."
Vortex spun in place, pointing at...where Mimic just had been. From the
look on his face, he did not register Mimic's new location until Mimic
had bent Vortex's paw back at himself, touching the MissingNo. to the
Mew...then Vortex was gone, too, along with the MissingNo.
Drake blinked. "Pardon me. I thought you two were more attached to-"
"DAMN IT!" Aerie was on one knee, pounding the sand. "I just hope for
his sake he's right about Seth coming out of that unharmed."
'Seth' was there in a blink, giving Aerie a comforting hug. "There,
there. Vortex let Mimic into mind just enough to know Vortex tell
truth."
Aerie frowned at Mimic. "There are few forms that would be less
appropriate right now."
Mimic shifted to his Seth/James default. "Better?"
"I said...no, wait, you are different. Seth didn't have that...grrrgh!"
Aerie shook her head, trying to puzzle out the difference between the
forms.
"Mimic sorry Mimic is Mimic. But Mimic *is* Mimic."
"And Mimic will carry on, just like Aerie, right?" She smiled
fractionally.
"Mimic guess. At least Maria have pokemon and babies with Maria; Mimic
no know if could be good single dad."
"Yeah...hey! Where'd Slasher go?"
"With Maria."
"No, *our* Slasher. Persian Slasher. Vortex didn't get him!"
"Mimic sure is somewhere around." Mimic transformed into Maria again.
"Come on, contest starting. Least can do is take advantage - no Maria,
so no chance Maria pestered if two or three Marias show up."
Aerie nodded, and changed. 'Maria' then looked to Drake. "Coming?"
---
Elsewhere on the beach, Slasher prowled. He knew when and where Seth
would reappear; their relationship was just that tight. (And a Mew
named Vortex had been harassing people with a MissingNo. in his original
timeline, enough that he knew the delta time and delta space for this
incident, thus he computed the coordinates when he saw Vortex put Seth
away.) He would be there when Seth came out. Until then...the
(evolved) Masked Meowth would strike again!
TBC?
[OOC: Maria wanted to take a break from PW!, partly because she has
become so busy she could not even compose her own vacation story post,
so she gave me permission to do this.]
