"Hey, Lillie, I got something really important to tell you…"

"Y-yes?"

Lillie barely squeaked out. Her heart was beating way too fast. Her crush was confessing to her.

"Ever since I met you, I felt something missing when I wasn't around you." He scratched his cheek embarrassed. "But I figured out what it was. It was you, I missed you… so what I'm saying is… will you be my… girlfriend?"

Lillie couldn't believe it. He actually confessed to her!

"I wished for the same thing…"

"Really?" He gave Lillie a smile.

"Y-yes…"

Lillie reached for her crushes hand. Their fingers interlocked, their hands fit perfectly in each other. She looked up at him and gave him a beautiful smile. You could see hearts and sparkles floating all around them.

He pulled her close, his face getting close to hers. Their lips were an inch apart. Their lips than finally conn-

*BEEP BEEP BEEP!*

The alarm went off, blaring in the girl, Lillie's ear.

"Nu…?"

Lillie let out a surprised squeak as her eyes slowly open. She brought her hand up to her lips, touching them with her fingers.

The feeling of waking up was the worst.

After all, when you're having the best dream you could ever think of, then waking up and finding out it was fake, anyone would be unhappy. But for Lillie, a 15 year old Junior in High School, it was really embarrassing.

Lillie Aether's face turned super red at her sudden realization.

"Oh my Arceus, oh my Arceus!" She screamed over and over again, while she rolled around on her bed, embarrassed. In her arms was a strange shaped plushie, that she clutched tightly to her chest.

She suddenly stopped rolling around, bringing her plushie towards her face.

"Hey, Nebby, do you think I'll be able to do it today?" She quietly asked her plushie.

Of course the plushie didn't answer back, it was made from fabric and cotton, but Lillie loved asking Nebby for advice. She had that little plushie ever since she was born. It looked like a little monster made up of clouds with a design of a nebulous. Her Mother bought it for Lillie when she first got home from the hostipal, and she had it ever since.

Lillie sighed as she got up from her bed. Looking down at herself, she noticed her pajamas.

"If anyone saw me in these, they would get the wrong idea…"

She stared at her slightly see through night gown.

Lillie's Mother always picked out and bought her clothes that she chose. But this was pretty much lingerie. She told her Mother that it was embarrassing to wear, but she replied with "My daughter should look beautiful on all occasions, even sleeping." Lillie's Mother was a little strange, but she loved her.

Lillie walked across her room to her mirror. Her room was a normal sized one. Her pink sheets covered bed was in a corner, along with her desk and her bookshelf, filled with all her favorite novels. She also had her own bathroom as well.

Her beautiful emerald colored eyes focused on her reflection on her mirror. Her long waist length blonde hair was a mess, and her face looked a little tired. Turning around, she took a quick peek at her clock, 6:40, she decided that she had enough time to hop in the shower.

After the quick shower, Lillie opened her closet and took out her school uniform. It consisted of a white collar shirt, underneath a tan colored cardigan with blue and red diamonds on the front, and a gray pleated skirt. After putting her uniform on, she pulled up black thigh high stockings over her slim legs, and finished with tying a pink bow on the collar of her shirt. She gave her mirror a smile as she brushed her hair and tied a pair of her favorite blue ribbons in her hair.

There, she was finished.

"Today is the day…" She whispered to herself.

Today was the day she would confess to her crush, Moon Tsuki. Christmas break was closing in, and soon, she wouldn't be able to see him in till after New Years, when school started up again. Lillie wanted to spend Christmas with him no matter what.

Lillie skipped happily out of her room to the stairs.

Her house was a simple 2 story house, with 4 bedrooms up stairs, while downstairs had a living room, kitchen, dining room, and a laundry room.

Her stocking clad feet resounded through the house as she trotted down the carpeted stairs. As she turned the corner to the kitchen, a boy's voice rang out.

"Finally." The boy sighed, while taking out an earbud from his ear. "You take way too long getting ready."

The boy was Gladion Aether, Lillie's older brother by one year. Gladion was your classic punk/rocker type of guy. His attitude matched one as well. He acted like he didn't care about anyone but himself, but he did genuinely care about his younger sister.

He wore clothes mostly the colors red and black, paired with his scuffed up vans. He had blonde hair like his sister's, styled to cover one of his emerald colored eyes. His tops of his ears were pierced as well. His Mother said that he was going through his "rebel" phase. Right now he was wearing the school's uniform white collar shirt, unbuttoned, with a black rock band shirt underneath it, paired with some wrinkled gray slacks.

"I do not. I take as long as any normal High School girl." Lillie pouted and crossed her arms. "And anyways, why does it matter to you."

"I was waiting for you to come down, so you would choose which cereal box to open. You know how that woman gets when we open 2 boxes of cereal at once."

"Aw! You waited just for me?" Lillie's eyes shined brightly. "You're the best!"

Gladion turned away from Lillie. "Y-yeah, whatever, just pick one."

Honestly, to Gladion, it was a pain living with a little sister, but he enjoyed it somewhat.

Opening the cabinet, Lillie stared intently at the boxes of cereal lined up on the shelf.

"Hmm…" Lillie placed a hand on her chin, thinking very hard.

"We're going to be late at this rate…" Gladion impatiently tapped his foot on the kitchen tile.

"I know! But I can't pick between cocoa puffs or froot loops!" Lillie's eyes looked like sideways Vs.

"Arceus…" Gladion muttered under his breath.

"Fine!" Lillie grabbed the box of cocoa puffs, opening it quickly. She than instantly regretted it. "Now I want… froot loops…"

"Too bad." Gladion grabbed the box from Lillie's hands, pouring it into two bowls. "Grab the milk, will you?"

Lillie went over to the fridge, opening it, and grabbed the milk carton. She brought it over and poured it into both of their bowls. They both sat down at the table, facing each other.

She started to hum happily as she ate her cereal.

Gladion noticed her humming and raised one of his eyebrows. "Why are you in such a happy mood? You're usually a zombie at this hour."

Lillie started to blush. "T-today is a special day… for me."

Gladion looked at her with half closed eyes. "Whatever…" He pushed his now empty bowl forward and got up from the table. "I'm gonna start walking toward the bus stop, you better hurry or you'll be late."

"H-hey! Put your bowl in the sink! And wait for me!"

Gladion simply just picked up his school bag and waved behind him.

Lillie had an idea. Smiling deviously, she opened her mouth. "Big brother… I hate you…"

Gladion rolled his eyes. She used to do this to him back when they were younger, but now he's grown used to it.

Gladion slightly turned his head towards his little sister. "That doesn't work any-" He stopped midsentence as he saw Lillie's expression. He could feel the coldness flowing from her body. "Ah, fine…" He scowled as he placed his bag down, walking over to his bowl and tossed it into the sink.

"You tell him Lillie." A woman's voice sounded next to the stairs.

"Ah, good morning Mother." Lillie cheerfully greeted.

Lusamine Aether was their Mother's name. She was around the age of 40, but she still looked beautiful as if she was around her 20s. Her children got their eye color from her, a brilliant emerald green. She had long blonde hair that covered some of her left eye.

She came into view of her children, a white robe was around her body.

"This is why I wanted to leave early…" Gladion grumbled.

She was always on Gladion's case, and he was sick of it. He wasn't going to be his Mother's 'little angel' or any of that bullshit.

"Gladion, you should be more like your sister"

Gladion clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Tch, whatever." He placed his earbuds back in and turned toward the front door. "I'll be waiting outside…" He slipped on his red and black hoodie as he shut the door with a slam.

Lusamine sighed as she pressed a button on her coffee maker. "What am I going to do with that boy."

Lillie giggled a little. "Well, at least he tries."

"I guess…"

A beeping sound started to ring, signaling that Lusamine's coffee was ready.

Lusamine smiled as she brought her coffee to her lips. She always hated mornings. Working at the hospital in till late at night was tiring for her.

As she drank her coffee, she turned to the clock. "Ah, Lillie, it's almost 8:00, you better get out of here."

"Oh, right!" Lillie hurriedly slipped on her pair of white chucks and pulled her white hoodie on.

"I'm off!" with a yell she shut the door behind her. The cold air instantly hit her face. She spotted Gladion waiting near by, he was shaking his head to the music he was listening to.

"Let's go, bro!" She called out to him cheerfully.

Gladion chuckled. "I told you to stop calling me that."

"You know you like it."

"Whatever." Gladion placed his hands into his pockets. "Let's get out of here already."

Lillie ran a little to catch up to her brother. When she caught up to him, she slowed down to match his pace.

Lillie looked up at the gray clouds, small snowflakes were falling gently in the sky. She always loved the Winter season. From the beautiful snow and all the lights and decorations. She really enjoyed the festivals, especially the Christmas Eve Festival that their city celebrated. They always went every year, her and her friends, but this year… Moon is here. Moon was a brand new transfer here, just transferred in the beginning of this year. So she was going to go with him, and make sure he had the best first festival ever.

"Hey, earth to Lillie." Gladion poked Lillie's cheek.

"H-huh." Lillie jumped a little.

"You were zoning out, staring at the sky."

"A-ah, I was…?" Lillie sputtered out. Her face went red.

"Hmm…. Are you sure you aren't sick…?"

"No, I'm just fine!" Lillie waved her hands in front of herself.

"Whatever…" Gladion blew his hair up into the air in annoyance.

"HEY GUYS! Wait for me!" A loud voice rang out.

Lillie looked behind her, as a boy with green hair ran toward them.

"Good morning Hau!" Lillie waved.

Hau Mele was Lillie's neighbor. They've been friends since Lillie moved here about 4 years ago. He was a very energetic boy of 16 years of age, who's gotten in plenty trouble because of it, but he always got everyone happy when they were down.

As soon as Hau caught up to them, he bent down, trying to catch his breath. His green hair, which was in a bun, bounced after each breath he took.

He was wearing an orange hoodie that was on top of the uniform's white collar shirt, but his was unbuttoned, like Gladion's, with a black T shirt underneath. His gray slacks were half rolled up, with a pair of orange shoes on his feet.

"Wow, the energetic Hau, out of breath?" Gladion said sarcastically.

"W-well, my alarm clock didn't go off, so I was hurrying." Hau finally got his breathing back to normal. "And plus, I'm not always like that ya know?"

"Alright guys, no fighting!" Lillie got between them, holding her hands out.

Gladion had a history of getting into fights with Hau, but they were pretty good friends, not that Gladion would admit it though.

"If it's for you, I'll stop." Hau flashed Lillie a smile.

"Don't look at my little sister like that." Gladion growled.

"Come on, I know you're a siscon, but I didn't know it was this bad." Hau gave Gladion a mischievous smile.

"Why you!" Gladion reached forward to Hau, but he sidestepped out of the way.

"Haha, can't you take a joke?" Hau laughed.

Gladion blew out some air, his breath settled in the air as cold steam.

"Come on guys, let's get to the stop." Lillie tried to mend the situation.

After that, they all walked over to the bus stop, a block away. On the way they talked about some random things, like the coming festival, and this weeks tests and quizzes, they even got Gladion to comment on a few things.

As soon as they got there, the yellow, snow covered bus pulled in. With a hiss, the doors slid open.

Gladion snickered when Hau was hopping on the bus, because he slipped on the icy stairs and almost face planted on the concrete.

After Hau's almost fail, they all climbed aboard.

Lillie looked around trying to spot her friend. A spec of blue hair came into her vision, that was her. Lillie weaved between all the students and smiled as she sat by her best friend.

"Hi Lana! Good morning!"

The girl with the short blue hair looked up from the book she was reading. "Good morning, Lillie." Lana smiled at her warmly.

This was Lana Washi, a girl of 14 years old, who was a Sophomore in Lillie's high school. She was a shy girl, who usually was at the library reading. That's where Lillie met her, they both had the love for books. Plus, they shared the same kind of personality, though Lillie is a bit more expressive.

Lana had her short blue hair in two cute twin tails. She had blue eyes like the ocean, which matched her reading glasses perfectly. She had on the same uniform as Lillie had on, but she wore knee high black socks, a yellow jacket with a pair of blue chucks.

"What kind of book are you reading?" Lillie asked curiously.

"Oh… um…" Lana readjusted her blue glasses on her freckled face. "I'm reading the newest book of A Certain Magical Index…"

"Oh!" Lillie's eyes brightened up. "Can I read it after your done!?" That was one of Lillie's favorite series.

"Of course." Lana looked up at Lillie. "We're friends, aren't we?"

"Well duh!" Lillie playfully flicked her best friend's forehead.

"Lillie, please sit down so we can start moving." The bus driver impatiently said.

Gladion shook his head as Lillie embarrassingly sat down. Man, she could be a pain. Gladion closed his eyes, wanting to just listen to his music and take a quick nap.

"So, Lillie?" Lana started to ask. "Why are you so awake at this hour? You're usually be sleeping on me, drooling all over my shoulder."

"I-I do not!" Lillie replied defensively.

"Oh, really now…" Lana lowered her eyes. "if you won't tell me than I won't let you read my book."

"Lana, please…" Lillie begged her friend for mercy.

"Hmph." Lana turned away from Lillie.

Lillie's heart was broken. Her best friend was rejecting her. Her lips started to quiver.

"Huh?" Lana noticed Lillie's face. "Lillie, are you alright…?"

"A-right! Yes I sometimes drool on you!" Lillie screamed out a little too loud. So loud that the whole bus heard her.

Her face went as red as she looked around at the kids on her bus who were staring at her. If it was possible, you would see steam coming from Lillie's face right now.

"Look at what you made me say!" Lillie playfully beat on Lana's shoulder.

"So, what got you in such a happy mood?"

"Hmph, why should I tell you that?" Lillie pouted cutely, while crossing her arms.

"Is it about Moon?"

"H-how did you know that?!" Lillie was shocked. She was pretty sure she kept it a secret.

"You're always hanging out with him, and in class you sometimes just stare in his direction…" Lana simply said. "I thought everyone knew that."

"I guess that's true…" Lillie didn't think it was THAT obvious.

Lana put a hand on her book, closing it. She thought for a second. "Didn't Moon and Sun…?" She instantly through that idea to the back of her head.

The rest of the bus ride consisted of some idle chitchat. Hau tried playing a prank on the sleeping Gladion, but he woke up as he tried putting a snow ball down his shirt, and put it into Hau's shirt. Making Hau yell and roll around on his seat in till it melted.

The bus finally pulled in into the school, Alola High.

A/N: So how was that for a first chapter? I really hope you all enjoyed it!

I got this idea because obviously it's Christmas time, and I wanted to write a Christmas themed romance story. Actually this fanfiction was going to be just a quick one-shot but I decided against it because I wanted to expand on my one idea. Don't know how long this will be chapter wise, maybe around 10?

Oh, quick note, Moon is the male protagonist in Pokemon Sun and Moon. I always see people name him Sun, but I think Moon is a guy's name than Sun. Sun will be the female protagonist.

So do whatever you want, review, favorite, follow, and I'll see you next time. I'll try to submit Chapter 2 as fast as I can as well!

Dusk Emperor signing out.
