Sapphire Birch's day started just like any other. She would get out of bed, skip breakfast with her parents, grab her Poké Balls and swing some vines until she got to her Secret Base, which was a cave. Then, she would let her Pokémon out to train with them for a couple of hours. It wasn't until noon when she figured out something was wrong.
Normally Ruby would be here already, complaining about how dirty she had gotten and fighting with her which was the best: Battles or Contests. To kill some time, Sapphire decided to think about reasons why Ruby wasn't here yet and what she was going to yell at him when he got here. 'That prissy boy is probably still brushing his Pokémon's fur or sewing another stupid dress for me which I will not wear in a million years,' she groaned. 'Seven years and he hasn't changed one bit.'
When she and Ruby were little kids, their personalities used to be the exact opposite of what they were now. Ruby used to be a headstrong, boyish guy who loved to battle. She used to be a girly girl who loved to wear frilly dresses and detested battling and violence in any way possible. However, one faithful day made them switch personalities, shaping them in what they are now: a prissy boy and a wild girl.
On that day, 12 years ago, a rampaging Salamence appeared, ready to rip their heads off. Ruby, brave as he was (and still is), fought it in order to protect her, gaining him a large scar on his head. He managed to defeat it, but when he turned around to face Sapphire he found her crying. Thinking he had scared her he swore to never let anybody see him fight again. She had thought that Ruby got hurt because she couldn't defend herself. From that day on she abandoned all her frilly dresses and started to train, so in the future she could fight danger off herself. Years later, when they met again, they hadn't recognized each other…
Sapphire sighed when she thought about the past. So many things have changed over the years. She was still a wild girl (although she did wear clothes now, instead of leaves) and Ruby was still a prissy boy (although he did know that beauty wasn't everything). And her feelings for the ruby-eyed boy, which she had confessed on Mirage Island seven years ago, were still the same. She sighed once again. 'I still can't believe he forgot everything. My confession, his confession, everything!' She buried her face in her knees and fought back the urge to cry. 'Blaze?' Sapphire looked up and saw Toro, her Blaziken, looking at her with a worried face. She smiled at the Fire type. I'm fine Toro. No need to worry.' Sapphire reached out to pat Toro's stomach. She then got up, returned all her Pokémon to their Poké Balls and made her way home.
When she arrived at Littleroot Town, the wild girl decided to stop by at Ruby's house. She peeked through the window, only to notice that Ruby nor his parents were at home. Sapphire sighed for the third time that day and then walked towards her house.
'Sapphire dear, what's wrong? You look so sad,' her mother remarked. 'Nothing mom. It's just that … I'm worried since I haven't seen Ruby all day.' Sapphire replied. Her mother frowned. 'Didn't he tell you? Ruby is at the church of Petalburg today.' 'Doing what?' Sapphire asked, a little angry because he hasn't told her. 'He and Marge are getting married today.'
'RUBY'S GETTING WHAT WITH WHO?!' Sapphire yelled. 'Married, sweetie.' With Marge,' her mother answered, taken aback by her daughter's sudden outburst. 'Oh no! He's not!' And with those words Sapphire sped out of the door.
