Chapter 11 Love Connection
"Uncle Brown, why didn't you tell me that you was a Pokémon Trainer too?" Afro asked.
"I wanted to tell you, but I thought you didn't know," Uncle Brown answered.
"Well, we don't have to worry about it anymore," Samantha said.
"Why not?" Nick asked. "Is it because we are so stupid and we are going to forget it?"
"No not that!" Samantha yelled.
"What was I talking about again?" Nick asked scratching his hair.
"Nick, you're crazy!" Samantha yelled.
"I'm not crazy, I'm Nick!"
"Well," Afro said passing things on, "since this Pokéball won't get transfer to Professor Johnson, you can have it for protection Uncle Brown.
"You crazy!" Nick yelled. "That Pokémon might go all crazy and squash millions, and millions of BUGS!"
"Well Afro, I want you to have Beed," Uncle Brown said turning to Afro. "I'm sure you can train him against your other Pokémon; since I'm not going to let you go back to the Pokémon World."
"The Pokémon World!" Afro yelled.
"Wow!" Nick yelled. "He is actually surprised! Um…what's a Pokémon World?"
"Why won't you let him go?" Samantha asked trying to ignore Nick.
"Because…that Team-"
"Bugs?" Nick asked.
"No, Team-"
"Zap it?"
"No! Team-"
"Pencils?"
"No! Team-"
"Blasters?"
"NO! TEAM-"
"Afro puffs?"
"NO! TEAM-"
"WWF?"
"NO! TEAM-"
"Bring it?"
"Are you going to stop him Afro?" Samantha asked.
"No," Afro said.
"TEAM-"
"Idiots?"
"TEAM ROC-"
"KET?"
"Yeah, Team Rocket."
"Oh…who are they?"
"Nick," Samantha said, "stop acting stupid. You know who they are."
"But I'm not acting," Nick pointed out.
"I'm not arguing with that."
"I know what you mean."
"No you don't."
"Yes I do."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"Afro are you going to stop them?" U.B asked.
"No," Afro said.
"No," Nick said.
"Yes," Samantha said.
"No."
"No."
"Yes you do know and that the bottom line cause………… just wait till I get my WWF book!" Nick shouted.
Afro's House…
"Uncle Brown, I have to go back to the Pokémon World so I can train to become a Pokémon Master!" Afro shouted.
"Afro," Uncle Brown explained, "I don't want you getting hurt by Team Rocket."
"Team Rocket?" Samantha yelled. "Those bunch of crooks are so easy to beat. Anyone can beat them when you have-"
"Super Nick around," Nick interrupted.
"Who's Super Nick?" Uncle Brown asked.
"We've met him before," Afro explained. "I just can't figure out who he is."
"Afro, you've been hanging around Nick a lot," Samantha teased.
"I know what you mean," Afro said.
"No you don't," Nick said.
"Don't start that with him now Nick," U.B said.
"I just did………I think," Nick said.
"Nick," Samantha said. " You never think."
"Why don't we all just cool down and watch some T.V," U.B advised.
"Sure," Nick said. "But first, you have to tell me the definition of a T.V."
"Nick," Afro cuts in, "you don't know what a T.V is?"
"Is that the things that you see on a T.V?" Nick asked.
"On today's news," the man on the T.V explains, "we've actually seen Pokémon around the world! People are now trying to make a Pokéball to capture Pokémon to protect each other and fight! This was found out first-"
U.B turns off the T.V.
"Afro," he says, "please do not go to the Pokémon World. Do you hear me?"
"Well," Nick said cutting in, "he heard you, but how do you know if he is going to listen?"
"Trust me," U.B said, "he will listen otherwise he is in big trouble."
At Afro's Room…
"Afro," Samantha said, "what are you going to do?"
"I'm still going to go," Afro said.
"But wouldn't you get in trouble?" Samantha asked.
"I think so," Nick said. "Because U.B said, `IF HE GOES, HE'LL GET HIS BUTT WHIP!'" (Nick says this like a country person)
"My uncle doesn't talk like that!" Afro yelled.
"Oh wait! That's my mom!" Nick pointed out.
"Well Afro," Samantha said trying to ignore Nick. "Let's go before Nick hurts himself."
"I think I'm going to get hurt because I haven't used the bathroom in two whole months."
"But," Afro said, "we have to go to school tomorrow. Samantha can sleep by Nick's house."
"WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL?" Samantha asked. "AND I THOUGHT NICK'S HOUSE WAS DESTROYED?"
"Nick's house wasn't destroyed," Afro explained. "NO house was destroyed except his dog's house."
"Oh yeah," Samantha said. "I wasn't looking around. But I'm still not sleeping by Nick's house."
"Then, you can sleep on my cousin's bed. She moved out," Afro explained.
"Is she cute?" Nick asked. "Alright, I'm leaving. Bye guys…and princess."
Samantha made a soured face.
"So Samantha," Afro said, "what do you think about Nick?"
"I think he is crazy!" Samantha yelled. "He goes berserk. But you, I think you're cute."
"Oh," Afro said. "A lot of girls say that."
"Afro," Samantha said, "there's something I have to ask you. Will you go out with m-"
"I WANT TO HEAR IT, I WANT TO HEAR IT!" Nick shouted hanging from out the window.
"Nick, go home," Afro said.
"Okay, whatever you say," he said winking his eye for about ten minutes, until Samantha smacked him and he fell out the window.
"So Afro," Samantha said. "What I wanted to say was-"
"THE
N
D!" Nick shouted. "Wasn't that a nice story?"
Samantha took an acorn of a tree and threw it at Nick. Nick went crazy and ran into a tree. After that, he went home.
"So Afro," Samantha said. "Will you go out with me?"
"You want to go out with me?" Afro asked.
"Yeah," Samantha said. "For like the first time I saw you."
"Well," Afro said thinking about it.
"Can you give me the answer tomorrow?" Samantha asked.
"I think so," Afro answered.
At school…
"Afro," Samantha said. "I'm going to the soda machine. I'll catch up with you later okay?"
"Okay," Afro said. He then turned around to look for Nick.
"Nick!" Afro shouted. "There you are!"
"Yes?" Nick answered.
"Samantha just asked me out! What should I do?" Afro asked.
"Well Afro," Nick said thinking. "Do what I would do. Tell her that she is the most beautiful girl in the whole world."
"That's it?"
"Oh and tell her…………………yes!"
"Okay, thanks for the advice Nick."
"Sure. Everyone comes to the pro. Okay I'm going to the soda machine. I'll catch up with you later okay?"
"Okay."
By the soda machine…
"Oh hi Samantha," Nick greeted.
"Hi Nick," Samantha greeted back. "Hey, can I ask you a favor?"
"Sure, tell me while I get this dollar in," Nick said.
"Okay," she said. "I asked Afro out yesterday. I need some advice."
"Advice, you came to the right person! Tell him he is the most beautiful girl you have ever seen."
"Girl?"
"I mean boy."
"Oh."
"Okay, now you should buy him presents like flowers, bra, hair bow-"
"Nick," Samantha interrupted, "this is all for girls!"
"Well, get to know the things he likes. I have an idea. Buy him hair clippers so he won't have to worry about combing his hair."
"Well, I'll try getting to know him and getting things he likes."
"Why won't this stupid dollar go in?" Nick asked.
"Because," Samantha explained, "it's four quarters."
"Well, they say to put a dollar in here and all these quarters are falling out!"
At class…
"I'm sorry to say," said the principle, "that you guys are going to be having a sub today."
"Are we still going to have recess?" Nick asked.
"Nick," a kid said, "we are in middle school."
"Oh, I get your joke, that was funny!" Nick shouted.
"Stop shouting!" the principle shouted.
"But you're shouting too," Nick pointed out.
Oh my gosh; Afro thought to himself.
"What's the problem Afro?" Nick asked. "What's with the `Oh my gosh?'"
"How can hear what I'm thinking?" Afro asked.
"Okay, here's your sub. Be good kids," the principle said walking out of the building.
"Hello ladies and gentlemen," the teacher greeted. "My name is Dr. Herb."
"OH MY GOSH!" Nick shouted. "IT'S A TEACHER THAT HAS A MIND LIKE AFRO'S! HE'S SO SERIOUS!"
The whole class laughed.
"Ha, ha, ha, that was a good joke Nick," Dr. Herb said.
"Are you really a doctor?" Nick asked.
"No," the teacher giggled. "Now, has anyone heard about the Pokémon around this town?"
"Ooh, ooh, ooh," Nick oohed.
"No oohing," the teacher said. He then started laughing at his own joke.
Nick is right, he is like me. I laugh at my own jokes too; Afro thought.
"That's what's wrong with you Afro," Nick said.
"Hey you," the teacher said pointing at Nick.
"Who me?" Nick said.
"Yes you."
"You?"
"No you."
"Right you."
"No…me!"
"Me?"
"Yes you."
"Then it's you."
"What's your name?"
"Your name is Mr. Herb. How can you be so stupid to forget your own name?"
"His name is Nick," Samantha said.
"Oh hi Nick," Nick said. "Why did you tell us your name was Mr. Herb?"
"Well, what were you going to tell us?"
"It's something about Pokémon," Nick said. "I have four-"
Afro cover Nick's mouth.
"Afro," the teacher said, "please removed your hand from Nick's mouth."
"Nick," Afro whispered in Nick's ear, "don't tell him about the Pokémon World."
Nick looks at Afro like he's crazy. He then turns to the teacher and says, "I have four-"
Afro covered Nick's mouth.
"Afro," the teacher warned.
"Nick, are you crazy?" Afro whispered in his ear.
"No I'm Nick!" Nick said. He then looked at Afro like he was crazy again. He then turn to the teacher and said, "I have four-"
Afro covered Nick's mouth again.
"Nick," Afro said. "Don't tell him."
"Let go of him!" the teacher warned again.
Nick looked at Afro like he was crazy again. "If you would had let me finish Afro," Nick said. "I have four dollars in my pocket."
"Oh," the teacher said.
At lunch…
"Nick," Afro said, "I'm going to make my move."
"Move?" Nick question. "You're moving?"
"No, I mean I'm going to ask Samantha out."
"Samantha moving out too?"
"Hi Afro," Samantha said right behind Afro.
"Hi," Afro said. "My answer is yes."
"So you will go out with me?" Samantha asked.
"Yes Samantha," Nick said. "Why didn't you just ask me?"
"She's talking to me," Afro said.
"Are you sure?" Nick asked.
"Yes," Afro said. "Yes Samantha I will go out with you."
Afro and Samantha hugged.
"Wait a minute," Nick said. "You guys are going out? When did this happen?"
