Chapter 17: Goofing Around

Later, Goldwing had came out of The Bending Tower and into the yard. He approached Star, and she dipped her head to the golden leader.
"You have news for me," Goldwing nodded.
"Yes." Star confirmed.
"Break time," Goldwing announced, "Star and I will be talking in my den."
Goldwing lead the loner into The Bending Tower.
Ash looked around for something to do. Kabu had told him that, during break time, you could do anything you'd like.
Charlotte was talking with Mistletoe. They were deep in conversation.
Ash wandered over to them. "Hello."
"Hi!" Charlotte said cheerfully.
Looking at the sisters, Ash noticed for the first time that they had matching lockets.
"You got lockets?" Ash nodded.
"Yep," Mistletoe nodded.
"Interesting," Ash said. An idea was forming in his mind.
While Charlotte wasn't looking, Ash took her locket playfully.
"Hey!" Charlotte shouted, amused. "Give it back."
"You'll have to catch me first!" Ash smiled, and took off.
He ran past Stone, who gave a hiss of frustration as he interrupted her snack. Ash ignored the grumpy Bender and kept running.
Ash could tell Charlotte - and Mistletoe - were both giving chase. Ash broke into the Tower and raced up the stairs.
"We'll get you, Ash!" Mistletoe shouted.
Ash just laughed and kept running. He ran down the corridor, and ended up in the Prisoner Room.
Suddenly, Ash felt scared as he recalled the day Alacazame attacked Galmega. He turned to leave, but Charlotte and Mistletoe were blocking the entrance.
"I know you're scared of this room, Ash," Mistletoe growled playfully. "Now hand us the locket."
Ash took a few paces back. Then, he ran and jumped over the two sisters, who exchanged shocked looks.
"Get back here!" Charlotte yowled.
I'm having too much fun, Ash smiled.
All of the sudden, there was a blow to his side. Ash was pinned down. Looking up, he saw that Dust and Spots have pinned him down.
"You needed a little help?" Dust smiled playfully. He took the locket out of Ash's mouth, and handed it back to Charlotte, who looked half amused, half disappointed.
"Come on," Spots offered Ash his tail, and Ash bit down on it lightly, pulling himself up.
"Let's go back  to the yard," Mistletoe smiled.
