Mewtwo was less than happy with the sleeping arrangements. His sleep-fuzzed brain registered this opinion again as he was rudely awoken at, what he considered to be, an un-godly hour.
It just so happened that the slow-to-wake feline had been placed with two males who seemed to think that five-thirty in the morning was a fine and dandy time to wake up and start a pillow fight of some kind.
Right now Mewtwo was trying desperately to find his happy place, which was currently a vision of bludgeoning the idiots he'd been made to bunk with.
Rhys was, oddly enough, the more hyper of the two when it was so early in the morning. He was simultaneously serenading a nonsense song whilst jumping the expanse of floor that separated his bed from Mewtwo's.
Not functioning perfectly it was easy to forgive Mewtwo for forgetting that he could have removed or indeed killed the obnoxious human with one wave of his paw. As it was Mewtwo merely groaned and pulled the blanket up over his head and nestled into the mattress in hopes that he might drown out the other males off key singing.
Rhys seemed content to bounce around on Mewtwo's bed whilst James was complaining loudly about being hungry. One such jump sent Rhys putting his full weight on Mewtwo's tail.
Mewtwo's eyes snapped open angrily and a well aimed kick hit Rhys in the back of the knee mid-bounce, sending the human toppling to the floor with a yelp
"Haha I live!" Rhys bounced back up to his feet, his hair mussed but otherwise unscathed.
~More's the pity.~ Mewtwo mumbled telepathically from beneath the covers.
Had it not been for Mewtwo's innate sense of propriety, and had he acted more like a Pokémon and less like a human (though he'd never admit it) he would have requested bunking with Liana and the other females. Surely they had to be quieter than these two.
The fact remained though that he was too much of a gentleman as it were, and felt too strange to request such a thing. So it was that he was stuck with the veritable dumb and dumber. Pity him for what he had to put up with!
Mewtwo blearily opened his eyes only to notice that the illusion had disappeared during the night. In this case it was probably a good thing that Jessie and James knew who he was. The idea of waking to James's high pitched screaming as he noticed Mewtwo's true form was not a pleasant concept.
Unfortunately Mewtwo got a taster of James's high pitched scream regardless as the door opened and in burst Liana.
It was an unfortunate fact that Rhys and James only slept in boxers. As the female of the species wandered in James hastily tried to cover his torso with his arms as he shrieked like an indignant maiden.
Liana didn't appear to notice or care. "Are you three going to surface or do we have to come in here and drag you out?"
Mewtwo was surprised that she was up so early willingly. As temperaments go hers was on a par with his come morning. He peeked out from beneath the folds of the blanket to see that although the girl was awake she did have her usual peeved-at-the-universe morning expression in place. All was right with the world in that case!
She'd obviously recently showered. Her hair was still damp and thrown up into a high ponytail. As the day was going to be very warm, Mewtwo could already tell, Liana had opted for jeans and a vest top rather than her usual breeches and shirt.
She stood there now with her hands on her hips as the glared at the two males who looked a bit embarrassed at being caught only in boxers by a girl.
"Damnit Liana we could have been completely starkers or something!" Rhys finally sputtered indignantly.
"Technically one of you is completely naked." Liana jabbed a thumb towards Mewtwo who was still completely ensconced in blankets, listening in amusement.
~What can I say? I'm a closet nudist.~ Mewtwo's grating sarcasm worked overtime this morning.
Liana grinned at him and sat on the end of his bed. "Let me guess. They're snorers."
~Worse. They're actually happy in the morning and early risers.~
"Good grief I'm surprised he didn't kill you." Liana turned to the humans, humour apparent in her every word.
As quick as lightning Liana was back up on her feet and had grabbed the two humans by their arms.
"Okay boys time to leave Mewtwo alone. Quick march, let's go get breakfast."
"B-but Liana we're not dress-"
"Tough luck if you were up long enough to annoy clone supreme over there, you were up long enough to get dressed. Live with the consequences." Liana's tone left no room for disagreement.
Mewtwo sighed almost happily as he heard the woman frog march the pair over the expanse of the room and towards the door. James was gibbering that he wanted a t-shirt and Rhys was whimpering the whole way.
"I curse your children!" he decreed lamentably, "and your children's children. And Mewtwo I curse your children too!"
"Whatever."
"Cursedy curse CURSE!"
Liana, with a strength Mewtwo was unaware that a human female could possess, dragged the pair bodily out the door. Mewtwo couldn't help but smile as the sounds of amused screams and wolf-whistles reached his ears after the door had closed behind them.
Mewtwo dozed for a while longer before deciding that he needed Mew to replace his illusion before he left the room. He called her silently mind to mind, and within moments the flap at the bottom of the door (put there so Pokémon could leave the room without waking their trainers) swung open and Mew still in her Aipom guise appeared.
"Ah I forgot about the illusion stopping once I lost concentration in sleep."
~How very clever of you. We would have had a problem explaining why Kohaku grew a tail overnight wouldn't we?~
Mew sighed at the biting tone in her clone's voice whenever he spoke to her. She was saddened by how he'd turned out, so cold and distrusting.
Mew glowed slightly as she replaced the illusion and Mewtwo looked himself over in a small mirror once she was done. Humans were strangely built, he decided. How on Earth could they stand upright without a tail to balance them? It must be a constant battle not to fall flat on ones face!
Mewtwo nodded grateful for Mew's assistance but said nothing to her. He turned and walked out the door into the small hallway and turned to walk down the wooden stairway that led into the main room of the outpost.
From the stairs he could see the others already sat around a breakfast table, the other tables were steadily filling with other bleary eyed and yawning humans. Rhys and James had apparently adapted to being half naked and were stuffing their faces with food that they'd purchased; sausages, bacon, eggs, mushrooms, toast and other items washed down with orange juice. Mewtwo pulled a face at the heart-attack-on-a-plate. How could they eat so ravenously so early? The look on Liana and Jessie's faces seemed to mirror Mewtwo's sentiments.
Lucinda was another who seemed overly chirpy in the mornings. She was gossiping away to the Pokémon using Meowth as a translator as she ate cereal, fruit and toast. Meowth seemed happy to oblige in translating and was perfectly content to chatter with Lucinda about even the most trivial things.
Mewtwo crossed the room and sat down next to Liana who now appeared to be fighting to stay awake as she nursed a mug of coffee. He noticed her eyes closing and her head beginning to droop perilously close to the rim of the mug so he poked her in the ribs which earned him a glare and a mumbled 'what?'
"Are you planning on drinking it or sleeping in it?" he smirked.
"Both." was the short reply.
Liana roused herself enough to take a swig of her drink and pour Mewtwo a mug of the strong coffee as well. Mewtwo lifted the mug in an imaginary toast to all things caffeinated and drank too.
"So what's happening at this end of the table? Exuberant as ever I see." Lucinda was grinning at the pair mercilessly.
"Go back to your own conversation Luce before I cram that pineapple somewhere really uncomfortable." Liana was always in an awful mood in the mornings, but the slight quirk of her lips reassured her friend that she was only teasing.
"Ooh it bites!" Lucinda retorted trying to look shocked.
Mewtwo gave a tongue curling yawn and reached for some fruit.
"Aren't you going to eat anything Liana?" Lucinda looked her friend over critically. "You need fattening up."
"Do I have to? I think Rhys and James have put me off."
"I have to admit those two do have the table manners of pigs." Jessie inserted herself into the conversation.
"Whut oo free 'alking abou'?" James tried to ask with his mouth full.
"Say it, don't spray it!" Meowth whapped James on the back of the head with his paw.
Liana ignored them and picked some food too.
