"Mr. Johnston, there is a phone call parked on line three for you, sir." "Thanks, Darci." I really didn't have time for a phone call right now. You don't get to be Junior Vice President of Marketing for one of the region's biggest advertising firms at the age of 25 by slacking off and talking on the phone all day. I had a lot of work that needed to get done before I could go on my lunch break, and depending on who this was, it could take a long while. "Nathan Johnston speaking." I said, putting the call on speakerphone while I continued to look over our new sale's pitch for a local cola company. "Hey Nay-Nay!" Oh, great. It was Bridgette, my fiance. As much as I love the girl, she has a habit of talking way too much when I'm not able to take phone calls. "Hi, honey. Look, no offense, but this really isn't a good time right now, can I call you back?" "Oh yeah, sure! I just wanted to call and tell you that we got an RSVP for the wedding back. It's from Geoff. He's going to make it." "Wait, what?" I took the phone off speakerphone and picked up the line so that it was private. Geoff, as much as I hate to admit it, is Bridgette's exboyfriend, and could very well be the next champion of the pokemon league. He's pretty much an obnoxious jerkass who constantly has to one-up me and then make me look like a tool by how cool he is in comparison. I hate him with a fiery passion that consumes me, but because he and Bridgette dated for solong, I'm expected to just accept that they know each other too well to not be great friends and be okay with it. I'm not okay with it. "Geoff sent his RSVP back and he can make it to our wedding." "I thought you said that he was going to be on Corona Island during our wedding." "Well that's what I thought, but apparently with everything that's been going on lately, he has to delay his trip. He won't be able to go over there until next year, which means he'll definitely have the time to come to our wedding in four months." "...that's great, hunny." "Oh yeah. He's doing soo well, too! I mean, I always knew that he was going to be a great champion one day, but man! He's almost there! He only needs one more badge and then he can take on the big guns!" "..." "Isn't that great, hunny?" "Bridge, why are you so excited for him?" "Well, because he's a good friend of mine and I want him to be happy. You know that." "Are you sure that's it?" "What are you getting at, Nathan?" "It's just...we're getting married in four months and you're going on about how great your ex is. How am I supposed to feel about that?" "Nathan, it's no big deal. I'm just excited that he is doing so great." "You never get that excited when I get a promotion, or a raise." "What are you talking about? Of course I do! I love you and I'm so proud of how great you are doing at work. It's just...you know...he's going to be a champion. That's exciting!" "So I'm not exciting enough for you, is that what you are saying?" "Nathan, you are twisting my words completely." "Fine! If that's the way you feel, maybe I'll have to spice it up a bit. If Geoff, that fucking idiot, can be a champion, anyone can." "You are getting out of line. I never said you weren't exciting enough for me and you are overreacting, even for you." "No, no I'm not. I'm going to prove it to you. Meet me at Professor Willow's lab, she owes me a favor. I'm going to get my pokemon and I'll prove that being a champion is nothing to be excited about." "Don't you think you are a little too old to go out on a pokemon journey? And besides, what about work?" "I've got plenty of vacation time stocked up to be able to take off for months and not have any problems with work, and Geoff just started two years ago, so you can save your too old argument." "Alright, obviously I'm not going to be able to talk you down about this over the phone, so I guess I'll see you at the lab. But seriously, calm the fuck down." She hung up on me. Whatever, I'll show her. "Darci, hold all my calls...for...a long time. I'm going on vacation." |

You know, I'm surprised nobody else has done something with this before now... Ah well. Being vice president of marketing in an advertising agency is a pretty dang posh job, all things told. In a matter of minutes, you'd managed to get a poketech and escape rope with three charges to be sent to the lab to meet you. Having money to throw around certainly helped. And speaking of money, you did have about 4700 more bucks in the budget for for the wedding, waiting to be spent. You could keep saving it...but since youre fiancee was more interested in her ex and so forth...did she really deserve that much spent on her? Edited by DarthEevee, Nov 29 2008, 12:02 PM.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present. ~Oogway
