Preparing for Christmas

"You won't even consider it, right?" A girl with large brown hair asked a silent boy. The boy at question just looked at her apparently uninterested. He began to retreat.

"You know it's been hell for your mother" The girl said, stopping the boy who slowly turned around and whispered a sorry, taking again his path to retreat.

"Everyone at Pallet Town misses you…Green misses you…" She said putting emphasis in the last words.

The boy stopped for a moment just to deny that fact with the movement of his head.

The girl reached for his arm, grabbing him with a firm grasp "Listen Red, I don't understand what you're thinking or what you want to achieve in this place but… don't you think is time to return home? If you don't want to see anyone else it's ok… at least go say hi to your mom… " She said in a pleading voice.

Red turned around once again; he stared at the girl and stood like that for what seemed an eternity. The girl began clenching her fists in obvious frustration "It's Christmas! For all the gods, Christmas! Don't you understand?" She said raising her voice. Red stayed there unfazed.

The girl finally gave up "Good have it your way!" She began walking far away from Red "If…" She said slowly "… you want to come, you know where to find us… all of us" Her last words were said with sadness.

"Blue" Red finally talked, the girl turned rapidly looking hopeful at Red's eyes "Thanks for not telling Green my location"

Blue's eyes showed anger "I should have told him! Maybe then you would have left this stupid mountain!" She left the shelter where Red was currently living in.

Red sighted and sat on a stone; one he had set up to serve as a chair, and began to ponder the possibility to visit his home town for the first time in years.

A few weeks ago blue had discovered his place in Mt. Silver by mere coincidence; the two were shocked to see each other face to face, but Red wasn't eager as Blue, he was apprehensive of the fact his 'hiding place' had been discovered and because of the fact that Blue kept ranting about how Green would react when he knew the good news.

Red made Blue promise that she wouldn't reveal his location, that he would do it when he felt prepared. The girl agreed but Red didn't seem to make the slightest effort on keeping his word and the time of his appearance was likely to never come.

Since then Blue visited Red almost every day; her duty as she claimed was to convince Red to leave Mt. Silver and start a new page in his life, hopefully one in which his mother and friends could communicate with him.

Her task proved to be more difficult than she expected; Red had grown to be a hermit, always distant, never paying any real attention to whatever Blue had to say. A man of few words whose real interest (not that he let it shown easily), was picked only when Blue mentioned a certain boy with spiked brown hair and emerald colored eyes.

Blue began reading Red's attitude towards the information she shared about Green; she soon gave an interpretation of Red's small changes in his eyes and body language. Guided by her sixth sense or mere intuition she determined that Red was interested in Green in a way that possibly surpassed friendship or rivalry. With that she was resolved to reunite not just Red and his mom. Green and Red also needed to solve their differences or whatever issues they had and move on.

Weeks later after Red and Blue's first encounter, Blue mentioned that in Christmas Green's family, Red's mother and she would reunite to celebrate it and that it would be the perfect occasion for Red to make his reappearance, at first Red just made that imperceptible expression of shock, he then remained as a statue while his mind raced with thoughts of the many scenarios that could occur and the reactions of the people who had been abandoned, specially Green. He was ashamed to admit his mother wasn't his first concern.

Since that day Blue always tried to convince Red to join them on Christmas, at first she was all eager and happy planning the event, but the days passed and Red never showed any interest and his movements and expressions were more cautious, it was getting on Blue's nerves and today Blue had reached her limits, Red had dropped the straw that broke the camel's back, Blue had left Red's shelter fuming. What she didn't know was that her hard work was paying off; all those days spent trying to convince the stubborn red eyed boy weren't for nothing.

Christmas was nearing and Blue hadn't appeared again since she left angrily days before making her point clear. Red felt pressured to take a decision, it wasn't that Christmas was the only chance to meet again all the people that he cared for but Blue was right, Christmas was like the perfect opportunity; after all it was the time to forgive the mistakes, share happiness and make amends, it was what his mother had taught him.

The only thing that kept him from going home was the same thing that was calling him there, better said not a thing, a person with the name of Green.

Since his arrival at Mt. Silver memories of Green plagued Red's thoughts, at first he held a grudge at Green's arrogant persona, that gave place for questions without answers and before he knew it the brunette became an obsession and a developing crush. Red didn't want to admit it but meeting again with Green was the only way to find the truth behind those troubling feelings.

At that moment Pikachu decided to bring back his master from his musings, he had been in that state for days. He began nudging Red's cheek, Red patted Pikachu's head. He stood up from the place he was sitting, dusted off and started walking; he said quietly to his rodent friend "It's time to go home".
