Ahh... Such a random fic, I know. A random start to a random collection of oneshots. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Nope. I just enjoy reading and writing. It's not mine.

"Come on, Sapphire! Just try on the dress, please?"

"No. I will not put on the dress, Ruby. It's too… girly."

I sigh loudly. I made Sapphire a beautiful dress that matches her eyes, and name, and made it as non-girly as I could. It has short sleeves and cuts off around her knees. The material has a cute pattern of leaves and berries. So why won't she try it on?

"Sapph, this may be the least girly dress I have ever made. There isn't even any lace on it! So, please try it on for me?"

She also sighs loudly. "Ruby. You should know by now, it doesn't matter if it has lace or not. I will not wear a dress or skirt. Ever. Not even if you add 'for me' at the end of your sentence. And why are you making clothes for me that you know I won't wear in the first place?" she inquires.

I blush try to dodge her question, because, quite frankly, I don't know how to answer her question. "Isn't Crystal's birthday coming up soon? I figure you and she are around the same size, so I was going to model her dress on you," I lie. Sapph raises her eyebrows.

"Nice try, 'Prissy Boy'. Crys's birthday was last week. Anyways, she's taller than me! This dress would be too short for her!" I wince. Sapphire knows I hate that nickname. Now I see why Gold calls her 'Wildchild'.

"Oh, I meant Yellow's birthday. She's shorter than you, and this would make a nice gown for her,"

"No."

"Sapphire Birch, for the love of Arceus, would you please try on the dress! If you don't, I'll make Green come and make you try it on!" My voice is rising, and she blanches a little at my threat. But still, she stands firm.

"Oh, sure, call in Green. I'm sure he'll be delighted to drop everything and come help you force me into a dress, because he's not a super-busy gym leader, and Blue doesn't bother him enough; you just have to but in to make me wear a dress!" She replies, her voice dripping with sarcasm. She's right, but still, I know who she's scared of (Green), and what she's scared of. I pull out my trump card.

"I'll tell him to borrow one of Lance's Dragonites," I add, smirking slightly.

She blanches completely at my second threat, and is shaking as she replies, "S-still, you w-won't get me in that st-stupid dress!"

"Obstinacy will get you nowhere. I guess I'll just have to go get my phone to call Green."

"N-NO! Give me the dress! I'll try it on!"

Heh. Dragon types. She hates them, cause of that Salamence when we were kids. The threat of that, combined with the threat of Green, who is rather intimidating, always works. I should pull those cards more often!

"Will you two SHUT UP?" Emerald yells form the other room, a bit belatedly, as we have stopped yelling.

"WE'RE NOT YELLING ANYMORE!" Sapph yells. I wince. It's going to be a long time until my ears stop ringing...

Well, what do you think? Is it good? You enjoyed? Review, please!
