Whi-Two's Birthday

Chapter 1 (The Liar and the Charmer)

Aspertia City Trainer's School

Girls' Common Room, 7 p.m.

It was Whi-Two's birthday.

But, she didn't want any of this, the fancy decorations, the laughter and gossip, gifts and people making their way to her every minute, she wanted to get out, badly.

Sure, she appreciated how her three new girl friends had taken the time to conjure up a major party in the hall, with permission granted from their class teacher Cheren, of course. She had really enjoyed making new freinds andf doing new things, with the exception of that boy creeping up on her now and then, she was okay, even though a bit hesitant to completely forget about her past life with Plasma and start brand new.

But she didn't want this.

She was looking for a way to get out with a nice excuse, but that idea was thrown out the window when she saw some friends blocking the exit.

Honestly, she didn't even realize how many students knew her until now, and frankly, she wasn't surprised, she'd seen it coming, a little, what with all the attention she got from Lack-Two, the school's 'Mr. Perfect.'

Sigh, she was bound to face something like this sooner or later, and all these people actually knew her birthday, and gift tastes, very well.

Add that to the list of things she wasn't comfortable with right now.

She was supposed to hide her true identity, and find a normal life without unconsciously putting herself on display, she wanted to be an invisible someone, with few but very good friends whom she could count on and trust.

She knew the best one she had was Hugh, a battle-crazy person, but, if someone really got to know him better, they would know how kind he actually was, how he was giving everything he had to protect his little sister...

She was brought out of her reverie, when she spotted a familiar set of coffee-coloured hair, accompanied with girls screaming and thrusting the extra gifts (which they'd actually bought on instinct), to him, trying to win him ovet or grab his arms to hopefully dance with him if they could.

The sight made her panic, frustated, she tried her best to cover her face with the pink visor she always wore on top of her.

'N-no, please Lord N, don't let it be him, please not him...'

"Hey, Whi-Two! "

'Ugh!'

Too late.

He smiled at her, and somehow managed to flirt with and leave the crowd in less than a minute. He walked up to her with his hands beside his back, and Whi-Two had no idea how to get out of that, that mess of a person.

'Who's undeniably cute, and kind, like Lord N.' Her evil, but oh-so-truthful subconscious spoke out.

"S-shut up!" She screamed, to no one in particular. Luckily the girls were too busy watching Lack-Two to notice, and he decided it was best if he just ignored what she'd said.

She covered her hands with her mouth.

"S-sorry. I d-didn't mean...!"

She broke off, her head turning to and fro, as if she'd seen someone in particular just now, and was trying to find him.

"Anything wrong, Whi-Two?"

He gave her a charming smile, when she again turned her attention towards him.

Her cheeks glowed, and he had to admit, she looked quite cute when she was flustered...

He stopped himself before he went any further into the topic, that wasn't important now, he needed to keep his focus if he wanted to get closer to her.

He saw her eyes drift towards his hands for a moment, and he found it the perfect opportunity to show her the gift he'd bought for her, that he'd been hiding.

Her pastle-blue eyes widened in fear, her reflexes quickly took over her body and she held up her hands, to keep the boy from shoving the gift in her face, her Foongus was also sweating and trying to help. She knew he was just trying to present his gift, but she wouldn't have it, she wouldn't have him messing around with her feelings like that.

Still, she was surprised to see that Lack-Two still had that joyful grin etched across his face.

"Come on, Whi-Two! Don't you wanna see what it is? I bought it for your birthday!'

Ultimately, she stopped wrestling with his gift, sweat-dropping apprehensively at how persistent he was.

"Um, n-no thanks." She had had enough of gifts, she had had enough of Lack-Two and his flirting, and yet she tried being gentle about it, she knew he didn't mean any harm.

Although, she would kill herself if he talked about going out to complete the Pokédex on her birthday. That might just finally make her explode.

And we all know when that happens, she breaks down crying, not shouting angrily or anything, just plain crying, on the shoulders of the closest person she could find.

She shuddered to think what would happen if she cried on Lack-Two.

She suddenly felt a tingling in her arm, and her eyes widened again with surprise, as she realised that Lack-Two had been holding her hand, for quite some time. Had he taken his chance when she was drifting off to dreamworld? She didn't know, but she blushed when he tugged at her arms playfullly, his grin still intact on his face.

"Whi-Two, are you spacing out because you think you need time to rest? If so, then let's go to the lookout, to relax a bit, y'know, I promise you'll feel better in no time!"

That...was exactly what she'd been hoping for, and since his fan girls shipped them like crazy, that also meant they would listen to him and she would be able to get out easily.

But, she stopped herself before she agreed to his offer or did something crazy like that. This was Lack-Two she was talking about, what if he unknowingly coaxed something out of her that would make everyone in class hate her, after learning about her past, not to mention Hugh...

"L-lack-Two, I-I'm sorry, but I was kind of, l-looking for someone..."

Indeed, she had just seen Hugh around the corner, but to her dismay he'd disappeared just before she could sight him properly, she was sure he'd gone somewhere outside the school, he seemed so secretive, and where else would he go to?

Lack-Two raised his eyebrows, but made no comment, as he registered the piece of information. So, she was seeing someone, was she? He wondered who it could be...

And he also felt a pang of jealousy in his chest at the thought of her leaving him and looking forward to seeing someone else...

What did he just think in his mind right now?

He shook the thoughts away with a grimace, and actually let Whi-Two softly brush past him, and somehow, he felt his fingers ache to hold her hands, like he was sometime before, but he didn't.

...the party was over.

He went to his room, and stood there for a few seconds to calm down. Then, he took the specialised belt Magician had recently given him, along with Dewott's pokéball, and swiftly placed it round his waist.

This case was important, and he couldn't let his feelings overthrow his cause, at least not just yet. He needed to follow her to see what she was up to, and hopefully she wasn't seeing a guy, or even worse, Hugh. He had seen him a few hours before, and he was incredibly upset, and nor did he want him to find out if Whi-Two really was what he thought he was.

( He also didn't want her to break )

THE END

A/N: There we go, the end of the first chapter!

My english is a bit British-y, cause that's my curriculum and sorry for those who were confused! :D Can't help.

Anyways, take care of Whi-Two for me, Lack!
