It had already been a long day for the champion of the ninth triennial indigo plateau pokemon league at 10:55 in the morning. Red had started out the day oversleeping for his meeting with Professor Oak and the other Kanto pokedex holders which was supposed to take place in 5 minutes. Blue had said that his grandfather was very explicit in his wish for them to not be late as he is very busy and could only get the four of them together for a little while. As Red finished getting dressed he grabbed his pokeballs containing Poli, Saur, Pika, Snor, Gyara, and Aero,and his hat and sprinted down the stairs and outside releasing Aero when he got to the end of the driveway.

"Aero get to Professor Oak's as fast as you can!" he half yelled as he hopped on the flying dinosaur's back.

Aero let out a small cry at hearing its trainer's orders and proceeded to fly toward their hometown.

"Grr if only we just kept going on the way back from Mount Silver!" Red angrily said out loud to himself which he had a bit of a habit of doing.

The previous day Red had been making his way back home from a month long training session on Mount Silver with Gold, when he got the call on his pokegear from Blue telling him about the meeting the next day. Red said that would be fine as he was on his way back to Pallet Town when Blue told him to just stay in Viridian City with him at his place for the night. Aero had worked extremely hard over the last few days of training and Red had decided to walk instead of fly meaning it would take a lot longer. By the time Red had arrived in Viridian City it was already 9:30 and he was beyond exhausted, so he decided to take Blue up on his offer. When he got to Blue's house, he was sitting in a chair in the living room reading a book. He didn't even look up when he told his guest that he was getting up early the following morning and told Red he'd set a 10:00 alarm for him. Red thanked him and went up to the guest room and plopped down on the bed after putting his pokemon in the healing machine and changing into some more comfortable sleepwear and fell asleep.

Unbelievably, Red slept through the alarm until 10:45 and awoke with a jolt and panicking, quickly washing his face and putting on some deodorant. 'I'll shower when I get home,' he thought to himself and threw on his clothes and bolted.

They were almost completely past the Viridian forest when Red checked his watch showing it change to 10:58.

"I don't think we're going to make it. Give it all that you've got Aero!"

Aero nodded and accelerated slightly moving into a dive as they approached Pallet Town. It spoke volumes of how much time Red had spent training with his pokemon when he jumped off of Aero's back in perfect synchronization with the rock type pulling out of his dive in front of the Oak Pokemon Research Center. After swiftly recalling Aero, he burst into the lab just as his watch hit 11:00.

"There you are Red, I was beginning to worry that you wouldn't make it today," said Professor Oak almost with relief when Red made his way to the back of the lab where Yellow, Green, and of course Blue already were.

"Hey guys sorry I was almost late, heh heh," Red chuckled as he joined his friends.

"No problem man you still made it," Green said as she flirtatiously swung her arm around his shoulders. "Yellow was worried sick that you almost missed our mini get-together here," she said as she pointed at the shorter blonde standing next to her with a slightly devilish grin.

"Don't listen to her Red. I knew you'd make it on time!" Yellow said with a nervous chuckle and slight blush.

"Alright settle down," Professor Oak said. "The reason I called this meeting was to tell you guys that I've been talking with professors Elm and Birch about how to thank the ten of you pokedex holders for consistently using your talents to protect the world," he said. "We decided that first and foremost, you, Gold, Silver, Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald should get together more often seeing as you are all still kids and seem to enjoy each other's company."

"Of course we do Professor!" Red enthusiastically stated for no apparent reason other than to show that he was listening.

"Meh," Blue said whilst thinking of Gold and the Hoenn trio a little, but mostly Gold.

"Did you forget that the three of us are all legal adults Professor?" Green asked while giggling a little and pointing at Red and Blue.

"No because at least two of you are still an eleven year old on the inside," the Professor chuckled along with Red and Green. "Anyway the point is that we have booked the ten of you on a private cruise through the Sevii Islands so you can enjoy yourselves instead of constantly saving the world and being on edge all the time." Professor Oak told the four of them.

"That sounds like a really good idea!" Green excitedly pronounced. "I'll definitely have some things to do," she maniacally whispered to herself, catching Blue's eye as he shot her a suspicious look almost as if he heard her when in fact Yellow was the only one who did.

'Oh boy. I know what that means,' Yellow thought to herself and silently sighed. Being Green's best friend meant that she knew when Green would try to play puppeteer so to speak with their friends. She could only pray that there was a chance even extremely small that Green would forget about her and her "little secret that clearly wasn't a secret" when in her heart she knew that was never going to happen.

"So does that all sound good to you all?" Professor Oak asked the four of them.

"You bet it does!" Red exclaimed, blissfully unaware of what he was getting himself into with Green's plans that were beginning to formulate in her head.

"Sure I guess. It will be a much better way to explore Sevii than last time," Blue responded although somewhat skeptical when he saw what looked like a grin of triumph on Green's face.

"You know it Professor! Sevii is the perfect place for a vacation!" replied Green turning off her mischievous side for now.

"Count me in!" Yellow answered. Even though she knew she would have to deal with Green's meddling, she was still looking forward to what sounded like a fun vacation. Not to mention spending time with Red and their other friends.

"It's settled then!" Oak happily announced. "I'll contact Elm and Birch and tell them you all are in. Then I have to get back to work, I have much to do."

As the professor went to contact his colleagues, Blue stood up and grabbed Green's arm and pulled her into his grandfather's office. He shut the door and decided to get right to the point.

"I know exactly what you're thinking," he started. "I'd advise you to not get involved in other people's business because odds are they aren't going to like it."

"Oh sweetie, if you wanted me in a quiet room all to yourself then all you had to do was ask," she said sweetly with a wink, seemingly not taking in a word he said.

"No, do not interfere with our friends' love lives," he firmly demanded despite the smallest blush you could imagine encroaching on his face. "I know how you are with these things. You try to play relationship god."

"Goddess!" She corrected while licking her lips seductively very close to his. "You can be god if you want," she said in her sweetest voice.

"No, just don't bug everyone on this vacation, I certainly wouldn't want to be bothered by you," a blush once again creeping across his face.

"And how do you know I won't work my conniving magic on you sweetie?" she once again asked in her sweetest voice.

"Because I don't like-like any of the others and you know it!" he hissed so as to not disturb the other workers before walking out, leaving Green alone in the office.

'Clever wording you used there Blue,' she thought to herself, that signature grin plastered on her face. 'OTHERS meaning no one in the room. You might've tried to hide that blush but I saw it. You might try to deny how you really feel about me but I'll be patient. I'll get it out of you. Just wait and see.' With that last thought, she walked out of the office and back to the main part of the lab where Red and Yellow were still talking.

"Hey Green," they both asked at the same time making them both slightly blush. 'Oh they are so adorable,' Green thought as she sat herself back down with them.

"We were just wondering," Red started after getting over his slight embarrassment, "why did Blue seem pissed when he left a minute ago?"

"Oh, he was just confused at what was going through his head," she said quite cheerfully as she once again stood up and left the lab and went home riding on her puffed up wigglytuff.

"Do you know what that was all about?" Red asked Yellow.

"Not at all," she responded

"Oh well, I'm really looking forward to this trip though."

"Yeah me too!" the blond eagerly said, once again ignoring her knowledge of the nature of her best friend's plans for the vacation.

"Do you want me to walk you home?" Red asked her.

"Huh? Yyyeah sure," she replied with a very out of the ordinary stutter.

"Ok then let's go," he said completely oblivious to her stutter.

'Does he know?' Yellow wondered as she got up and followed Red out the door. 'If he does is he just messing with me? No he's not like that. He wouldn't be mean to anyone on purpose. He's just too nice,' she reminded herself.

They started chatting about their Pikachu as they left Pallet Town and how it was so cute that they loved each other, and as this point was made, as if on cue, Pika and Chuchu both popped out of their pokeballs and ran off down Route One.

"Wait at the entrance to the Forest!" Red yelled to Pika, who gave a cry back as if to say alright.

When the trainers finally got to the Viridian Forest's entrance, Yellow turned to Red and nervously told him that he didn't have to walk her all the way back home.

"No it's ok I don't mind!" Red responded. I love the forest and I just flew over it on the way back to Pallet.

"Aaactually," 'the stutter again?' "I'm a little tired and wanted to ask if you could fly me back home, because Kitty is really tired from bringing me aaand," 'Why am I so nervous whenever I talk to him?' she said/thought whilst shyly looking down at the ground playing with her ponytail.

"Of course I can! No problem at all!" he exclaimed while sending out Aero. "To Yellow's house please!" He told the large rock type while jumping on it. "M'lady," he said, extending his hand to her to help her onto the large pokemon.

Yellow didn't even bother trying to hide her blush at this gentlemanly act of kindness as it was completely covering her whole face and she thought it was so cute of him to do this for her. "Oookay," she said while once again stuttering, taking his hand and sitting behind him with her arms around his waist. Pika and Chuchu hopped on behind her and climbed up Yellow's shoulders to sit on her hat.

"Okay then let's go!" Red shouted as they lifted off of the ground with Aero giving a happy roar.

"Do we need to tell him where to go?" Yellow nervously asked him.

"Nah I point out your house every time we fly over the forest," he told her.

"Rrreally?" she asked in disbelief.

"Of course!" he cheerfully told her as they continued soaring.

Yellow was at a loss for words over the fact that the boy who she cared about so much took the time to point her house out to his pokemon. To some, it might not matter, but to Yellow who appreciated kindness above all else, and especially this boy's kindness, this meant the world to her.

"And here we are," Red said as Aero touched down in front of Yellow's house. "Thank you for flying Air Aero," he goofily said as he turned to her which made her giggle like she was a little girl again.

"Thanks so much Red," she said as he helped her down and without thinking gave him a big hug followed by a quick peck on the cheek as she ran toward her house, where her uncle was surely cooking dinner.

"Wow," Red said as he lightly touched the spot where she kissed him in disbelief, and stared in awe where she went in the door. After about a minute of leaving his mouth hanging open like a magikarp he once again mounted his Aerodactyl, and after giving its trainer a smirk, the large prehistoric animal flew up and back towards Pallet Town.
