Okay, I could not wait to start this. It's kinda like a sequel to 'A Bit of a Mind Game' (it takes place after it), but now we're on to special shipping! And this time, I've come prepared, I actually made a layout!
Before I start, I would just like to thank SpecialShipping19 for leaving a review on 'A Bit of a Mind Game' that inspired me to start this.
Disclaimer: If you thought I owned pokémon, you were WRONG!
Yellow stood at the front door of one of the houses in pallet town, her finger hovering an inch away from the doorbell. Red had invited her to his house. This would be their first time alone together. Sure they saw each other all the time, but that was always with Blue and Green too. Now, in her understanding, they would be together, she could finally tell him how she felt.
Her trembling finger came closer and closer to the bell. "-Hi Yellow!" Yellow jumped at the voice behind her. Turning around she saw Blue at the end of the walkway, her arm proudly wrapped around her boyfriend, Green's, shoulders. "Oh, hi guys", Yellow greeted back nervously smiling, "Did Red invite you two over too?" "Yeah. He said he had big news". Blue walk by Yellow and opened the door with a spare key that she'd borrowed a few years ago. The three of them entered the house and made themselves comfortable in the living room.
Yellow was conflicted. On one side she was relived that Green and Blue showed up and saved her from trying to tell Red the truth. On the other she was upset that she didn't have the chance now. She was working to pull up the courage to admit her true feelings, but now that chance was gone. 'Oh well', she thought, 'maybe next time'.
With a sigh she slumped onto a couch. "I'll get him", Green said going upstairs to find Red. Silence set upon the room. Blue, laying on a couch adjacent to Yellow, finally broke it, "So, are you gonna tell him?" "Wh-what?", Yellow was caught off guard. "Are you going to tell Red you love him?", Blue said through giggles at Yellows reaction. "How do you know?", Yellow shouted in a whisper, worried the boys on the second floor might hear them. "For someone who has the power to sense emotion, you're really bad at reading people", Blue smiled, "Green knows too. I think the only one who hasn't figured it out yet is Red", she giggled again at the delicious irony. Upstairs a shout could be heard coming from Green, "You invite us all over then you fall asleep!"
A few minutes later, Yellow, Blue, and Green are still waiting downstairs for Red to finally finish getting ready and tell them his apparent 'big news'. Yellow sat quietly as she twiddled her thumbs, thinking over her conversation with Blue. Green was impatiently pinching the bridge of his nose, wonder why he was best friends with such a imbecile. Blue had made her way to the kitchen and had begun to raid Red's refrigerator. "I found the chips!", she shouted as if they were a long lost treasure. When she came back into the living room she handed out drinks; a diet coke for herself, a glass of water for Yellow, and milk in a child's cup dotted with horsy for Green (he was not amused). As she sat down, footsteps were heard from upstairs, and soon Red finally made his arrival into the room.
Red took a seat on the other end of the couch Yellow was on, and everyone went quiet in anticipation of his 'big news'. "Well, I'm leaving", Red broke the silence. "No!", Green reacted, "we've been waiting for this news, your telling us now!" "That is the news. I'm leaving tomorrow". Everyone was taken back. A deep silence fell, so deep that each tick of a clock in the next room could be heard like a zapdos' thunder.
Green was the first to speak, "Where are you going?", even he, the unfaltering, tough and resolute Green, was somewhat stunned but what Red had said. "Apparently new pokémon have recently been found in the Siena region, and Professor Oak asked me to go through the region to help plan new gyms and help with the research". "You're leaving tomorrow!", Blue, usually so and composed, blurted out as she finally caught up with her shock. "Yeah, I'm taking a boat from Vermillion".
The rest of the night was spent all over the place; talking about the Siena region, what Red would be doing, reminiscing, and finally just hanging out. Yellow remained nearly perfectly silent through the whole thing. She wasn't sure what to say, she was terrified. The next morning the boy she loved would be leaving for two years. Who would he be when he got back? Who would she be? Would he meet another girl on his trip? How would she live without his friendship? Everything was a blur to her. Her mind drifted from one thing to the next, only rarely skimming the conversations going on. The only way to say how she truly felt at that moment was terrified. She was absolutely terrified.
The night came to a close, and Blue and Green left around 11:45pm, leaving just Yellow and Red. This was her chance, tell him how she felt, beg him to stay, plead for his companionship. Red came back to the living room after closing the door behind Green and Blue. Yellow stood up to talk to him, "Red", she started, "I…", she struggled to say the words, "it's just", the slightest blush began to form on her cheeks, "I'll miss you". That was all she said, she couldn't get it out. She was too panicked. "I'll miss you too", he replied with deep sincerity, "G'night, I'll see you tomorrow". And with that Yellow just nodded and walked out.
As soon as she made it back to her home, in Viridian, she stopped holding back. After all that had happened she was sad, lonely, heart broken, but in too much shock to let it out. Now she was finished with that, far from Pallet, and in too much pain to bear. She broke down, collapsing into tears on the hallway floor. Letting it all out, all the pain, all the ache, all the grief, everything. She continued to cry, she'd lost all track of time, she just cried on, until she fall to a nightmarish sleep, in a pool of tears.
I really can't say much here, just please review and give me your thoughts. I hope you enjoyed reading this first chapter. I really got into it and did my best. Thanks.
