"Leaf Oak."
She tested the word a couple of times, seeing how it felt on her tongue.
"... Eh, I like Leaf Ketchum better."
"What!?" Blue whined. "Come on, Leaf Oak sounds so much better than Leaf Ketchum!"
"It sounds too related to trees," Leaf said. Red nodded slowly in agreement and approval.
"Well Ketchum sounds like ketchup! At least our names go together right! It's either trees or ketchup, and you're choosing ketchup!?"
"I like ketchup."
"And you don't like trees? Shame on you! Those things have been keeping you breathing for eighteen asthma-free years. Only you'd be so ungrateful!"
"Look, both of your last names are terrible, anyways," she said, waving a hand at both of them. "If anything, I'd keep my last name if I ever got married to either one of you."
As Blue began to sulk and wallow in self-pity, Red continued to keep as stoic a face as usual.
"One day I'm gonna make her Leaf Oak and she'll love it."
In case anyone looks for this kind of thing anymore, I don't own Pokemon. :)
