SenirasuShipping has recently become my guilty pleasure. I've always liked Volker-that boy is extremely attractive. Plus, he's so much fun to write about. Candice, I also love. She's so bubbly and full of life. Paired with Volkner, in my opinion, they make the cutest pair.

Opposites attract, right?

The whole idea for the summary/title completely changed when I used this one word.

Summary: When Cynthia suggests the Sinnoh Pokemon League take a vacation to Hoenn, Candice is excited. Travelling to a new region with her best friends and her boyfriend Volkner? She can't wait. When she meets one of the gym leaders, however, the alias of 'Snowflake' is the only thing keeping her friendships and relationship from spiraling.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Pokemon. You should probably know this. But lawsuits aren't fun.

Candice returned her final Pokémon to its PokéBall, looking at the petite pink-haired fighter with a grin.

"Alright, I'm ready." She said, pulling on her teal sweater.

"I'm not. I don't wanna go back out into the cold…" Maylene whined.

Candice giggled, stepping out of her gym and walking into the cold, frigid air, ankle deep snow, and the air ripping through Candice's short skirt.

"I don't understand how you can live here." Maylene shivered, hugging her body for warmth. The two girls walked towards the Pokémon Center, a harsh wind slapping against their bodies. Maylene shivered more violently, practically sprinting inside the Pokémon Center. Candice giggled, following close behind.

"Couldn't handle the cold?" She said, taking off her sweater and tying it around her waist.

"I love you Candice, really, but I hate your city. Why did you suggest having the meeting here, and not, I dunno, Sunyshore? My bare feet don't mind sand and sunshine…" Maylene said, wiggling her rosy colored toes. Candice smiled, "I wanted it here to make you suffer."

"Fuck you, too."

They walked up to the counter, Nurse Joy pointing them to an escalator going downwards. They got on it, three closed doors in front of them. Unsure of which room the meeting was in, Candice hesitantly opened the middle door, and there were the other six gym leaders, the Elite Four members, and the champion Cynthia at the head of the long table. On one side sat the first four gym leaders—Roark, Gardenia, Fantina, Wake—and the first two Elite Four members—Aaron and Bertha. On the opposite side sat Byron, Volkner, Flint, and Lucian, two empty chairs on both sides of Byron. Embarrassed by their tardiness, Maylene & Candice quickly took their seats, nodding to Cynthia as acknowledgment.

Cynthia continued to talk, discussing strategy and number of Pokémon in a party, but Candice wasn't listening. She turned her attention to the blond sitting next to her, smiling warmly. Volkner smirked at her, resting his elbows on the table. They continued their eye candy the whole time Cynthia talked.

"Also, I was talking to the champion of Hoenn, Steven, and we both thought it would be fun to travel down to Hoenn and meet with their Pokémon League."

Candice and Volkner broke eye contact, now paying attention to their boss.

"…So, what are we gonna do down there?" Roark asked.

"Well, since Steven said they had already met the other Pokémon Leagues, they needed to meet us, too; so we're all on good terms with one another. You might make some new friends, you never know." Cynthia shrugged.

The room was quiet, people sending glances to one another, uncertain looks meeting Cynthia's content face.

"I think that sounds like fun." Flint spoke up, different sets of eyes looking at him, "We all deserve a vacation."

Everyone agreed, making Cynthia crack a smile. "Excellent. We'll be down there for about five days, so report to Canalave City to depart on Saturday at noon. We should get there by Sunday afternoon. Clear?"

The group nodded.

Cynthia smiled, "Perfect. Meeting adjourned."

Everyone began to flood out of the room, different conversations filling the air. Candice, Maylene, Volkner, and Flint were the first people out, already on the top floor of the Pokémon Center.

"What's the point of going to Hoenn?" Maylene said, sitting down on a chair in the lobby.

"I dunno, we're all stronger than them anyway." Candice said, sitting down next to her pink haired friend.

"Oh, c'mon, at least be somewhat excited. How long has it been since you've left Sinnoh? It'll be an experience!" Flint said.

"And how long has it been since you didn't kiss Cynthia's ass?"

Three heads shot up in Volkner's direction, who casually stuffed his hands into his pocket, a blank expression on his face. The girls laughed, while Flint narrowed his eyes at his friend. Maylene stood up, fixing her training pants and sighing. "I better get going, I probably have a bunch of trainers lined up in front of my gym. I'll see you guys on Saturday." The other three waved goodbye as Maylene walked back out into the deep snow, running away from the Pokémon Center.

"I should probably go, too. Yanno, being the hotshot Elite Four member I am, I have important things to get to."

"Like going home to your little brother and sitting around doing nothing?"

Flint looked back at Volkner, glaring coldly. "I have no idea why I still talk to you." He turned back to Candice, smiling innocently, "Bye, Candice." He walked out of the Pokémon Center, leaving only Candice & Volkner. Candice stood up, walking towards the doors, motioning Volkner to follow. He did, straggling behind the raven haired gym leader. She reached her gym, pushing opening the doors, letting herself & Volkner in. Volkner walked up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist and holding her close, Candice giggling. She turned around, still in his arms, looking into his electric blue eyes. Volkner locked her into an electrifying kiss, not hesitating to slide his tongue in, invading the moist cavern of his girlfriend's mouth. Candice kissed him back, her fingers wrapping around the fibers of his jacket. Volkner's hands lightly ran up and down her back, warm fingers meeting cold skin. Candice pulled back, her bright, chocolate eyes blinking as she blushed, giggling nervously.

"Jeez, it's impossible not to touch you during those things." Volkner cooed softly, nipping at her cartilage. Candice gasped softly, more nervous giggles spilling out. Oh, Arceus, how much he loved her laugh. It made him feel so happy, but even better that he caused it.

Candice wiggled out of his loving embrace, causing Volkner to pout. "I gotta start packing for that trip." Candice said, walking towards a flight of stairs against an ice blue wall. Like a lost puppy, Volkner followed.

Candice walked down a narrow hall, pushing opening the last door on the right, revealing her white bedroom.

"Taking me to your chamber? I didn't think you wanted it thatbad…" Volkner teased. Candice slapped him in the arm playfully, blushing. She went to her closet and pulled out a suitcase, flinging it on her bed.

"Are you looking forward to the trip?" Candice said, pushing the suitcase aside and sitting on the bed. Volkner sat next to her, arm wrapping around her hips.

"I guess so. It'll just be another place to stand in the corner and listen to Flint chatter about anything."

Candice sighed, "Why not make it a place to get out of your shell? You're like a Squirtle, Volk."

"I'm super effective against those."

Candice rolled her eyes, "You're making friends. That's final." She got up off the bed, giving him a stern look. Volkner smirked, nodding, "Alright, alright, fine."

"That means your loner reputation doesn't follow to Hoenn."

"I understand, mom."

Candice groaned, his humor beginning to irritate her. Around the Pokémon League, he kept his mouth shut. Around Candice, she wished he kept his mouth shut.

Volkner got up off the bed, quickly bringing Candice into another embrace, "I'm gonna go. I'll see you on Saturday?"

"Bring your mingling face." Candice grinned. Volkner rolled his eyes, kissing Candice gently on the lips, walking out of her bedroom and down the stairs, out of the gym. Candice sighed, opening up her suitcase and looking in her closet for things to take to the new region. This should be exciting…

XXXX

Saturday came quicker than Candice expected. Her alarm blared at seven thirty, and after several hits of snooze, she managed to get up at ten. She dressed in her usual gym leader attire—a white collared shirt, a brown skirt, white knee high socks, and brown work shoes. She tied her usual teal sweater around her waist, tying her hair into two braids. Candice smiled, grabbing her suit case and walking down the stairs of her gym, small sunlight peeking through the windows. Candice smiled, since Snowpoint City never got sunlight. She stepped out into the snow, the air still. In the distance, a slim figure was running towards her, waving frantically. Candice raised an eyebrow in confusion, until she realized who it was and ran towards her as well.

"Gardenia!" Candice shouted, quickly embracing the Grass type leader. It had been so long since the two had communicated, since Gardenia and Roark had to hurry out of the meeting to get to their gyms.

The orange haired leader released Candice, smiling brightly, "Candice! It's been too long. I've missed you!" Gardenia said, hugging Candice again. Candice pulled back, grinning wide.

"I've missed you too!" She said, "Are you ready to get to Hoenn?"

Gardenia shrugged, linking arms with Candice and walking towards the exit of the city, "I dunno. I mean, I'm excited to meet them, but I have this feeling that it's gonna be really awkward."

"Why's that?" Candice asked, reaching in her pocket for a PokéBall, sending out Dodrio. They both got on the Pokémon's back, Dodrio running and bounding into the air, soaring above Snowpoint City.

"Take us to Canalave City, Dodrio." Candice said.

"It's gonna be awkward because… Those girls are pretty. What if Roark dumps me for one of those Hoenn girls?"

Candice sighed, shaking her head slightly, "Gardenia, Roark is in love with you. I don't think he'd dump you for one of them. Don't worry about it."

Gardenia sighed, looking below them at the small building, the mass amounts of snow fading into land. "I hope you're right, Candice."

Now that Gardenia brought it up, Candice gripped Dodrio's reigns tighter. What if Volkner dumped herfor one of the gym leaders down there? Candice sighed, pushing the thought out of her mind. Volkner said himself he wouldn't leave her. She would just have to take his word for it.

Candice & Gardenia made it to Canalave City about thirty minutes later, about six of the Pokémon League standing by the port, Roark and Volkner a part of the group. Gardenia ran right into Roark's embrace, both sharing a gentle kiss. Candice smiled, casually standing next to Volkner.

"Afternoon, Candice." Volkner said, looking out at the ferry. Candice looked up at him, smiling wide. "Hello, Volkner. Did you bring your mingling face?"

Volkner looked down at the raven haired girl, smirking, "It's in my suitcase."

"Good."

They both smiled at each other, words not needed. The eye contact spoke for them.

The rest of the Pokémon League flooded in a bit later, Flint pulling Volkner into pointless conversation. Candice stayed behind with Maylene & Gardenia, gossiping and just catching up.

"Alright, everybody!" Cynthia shouted, everyone giving her their attention. "The ferry is ready to go. There are four rooms available to you, so split up with three people you're sure you won't fight with. The last thing the captain needs is things on fire, people frozen, and electrical systems fried." The group chuckled politely.

"Alright, all aboard!"

Everyone began to pile onto the ferry. Maylene was caught up in conversation with Lucian, and Gardenia was tangled up in Roark, so Candice straggled in the back, rolling her suitcase towards the ferry. Her sweater tied around her waist loosened, falling to the ground. Candice sighed, stopping to pick it up, but someone picked it up before she could. Candice looked up, smiling brightly.

"Thank you."

Volkner shrugged, "No problem. Let's go before the ferry leaves us behind." He took her hand, leading her towards the ferry. They walked up the ramp, standing behind the rest of the Pokémon League as they got checked into their rooms.

Maylene pushed past the crowd, holding up a room key, obviously for Candice. For such a small girl, she could really push you down if she wanted to. She held up a room key out to Candice, who casually let go of Volkner's hand and took the card. Maylene grabbed her wrist and led her back through the group of people. Candice sent a small smile to the blond, until the gap was closed and he couldn't see her anymore.

Volkner dug his hands into his pockets, watching people part to their rooms until there were a few stragglers in the lobby. Just then, a fiery afro wrapped Volkner into a headlock, messing up his blond hair with his knuckles.

"Flint, get off me."

Flint did as he was told, frowning, "How did you know it was me?"

"Who else would it be?"

Flint shrugged, "Good point. I got us a room with Roark." He said, grabbing Volkner's arm, "C'mon, Volky."

"Don't call me Volky."

XXXX

After everyone settled into their rooms, the ferry began to rock along the open sea to Hoenn. Candice was out on the main deck, the sky fallen to night. Her Glaceon nuzzled against her leg, a light breeze gliding along her frosty fur. Candice leaned against the railing, sighing. Her whole body ached with anticipation. She was so excited to travel to a new region—but what Gardenia said about those girls taking Roark from her made Candice uneasy.

Volkner's attractive. Candice knows girls flirt with him. She knows she's not the prettiest girl around, but, if he wanted to, would he leave her?

Candice was shaken out of her thoughts by a pair of arms wrapping around her waist, pressing up against her back. She smiled, "Hi, Volkner."

"How'd you know it was me?"

Candice rolled her eyes "I think I know your touch by now, Volky."

"Haven't we made it clear that I don't like being called Volky?" Volkner said, his lips lightly brushing Candice's cheek, "Cynthia said we should be there by morning."

Candice grinned, even though her stomach collapsed.

"Guess it's time to bust out your mingling face?" Candice said, turning around so her back was against the railing.

"Jeez, you and that word. 'Mingling face'. That's the only thing you've talked to me about since this morning."

"Well, excuse me for caring~"

Volkner quickly kissed her, as if it were some sort of apology.

"Thanks for that, though." He murmured softly, a smile cracking on both their faces. Glaceon purred impatiently against Candice's leg as the two gym leaders kissed under the moon light, the ferry gently ripping through the water.

"Candice! Get up, get up!"

Candice's eyes slowly opened, immediately startled by Maylene jumping up and down on her bed. She smiled weakly, sitting up in the bed. "Why so energetic at ten in the morning?" Candice croaked, running her fingers through her dark tangled hair.

"Because I'm excited! There's a Fighting-type gym leader in Hoenn, I get a training partner for once!" Maylene jumped off of Candice's bed, gracefully landing on Gardenia's bed and waking her up. Candice sighed, kicking off the blankets and stretching.

Maylene stood in the middle of the room, kicking and punching the air in excitement, "We're here, in Hoenn, a new region, yes!"

Candice laughed, "Maylene, chill out!"

"I can't help it!"

Gardenia smiled, "I've never seen Maylene so worked up over something like this."

The girls decided to get dressed and pack up everything, going down to the lobby of the ferry, others beginning to pile in. Cynthia stood in front of the door, a smile on her face. A gray haired male stood next to her, hands in his pockets, a small smirk on his face. Candice poked at Maylene's shoulder. "I think you should try your luck with him." She whispered, grinning wickedly. Maylene blushed. "Candice! That's the champion!" She hissed.

"So? I can see you dating the Pokémon League Champion."

Maylene shook her head, focusing her attention on the two champions before them.

Behind Candice, she could feel a hand slip into hers, squeezing it softly.

"Morning~"

Candice smiled, "Good morning."

"Ready for an exciting day?"

"Volkner, you can't even fake enthusiasm well."

"I've been practicing."

Cynthia clapped her hands, "Alright everybody! This is Steven Stone, the champion of the Hoenn Pokémon League." Steven raised his hand, waving slightly.

"Glad you guys could come here. We're docked in Slateport City, if any of you were wondering. Overall, Hoenn is a wonderful place; I can guarantee you'll enjoy yourselves." He said. Cynthia nodded, "Let's get off this thing, shall we?"

She pushed open the door, the morning sunshine pouring in as Cynthia stepped aside and let the other people through. Candice followed behind Maylene and Gardenia, walking out on the ramp and to the dock, two different groups of people staring back at one another.

"Yo!" A voice shouted on the Sinnoh side. Volkner slapped his hand over his forehead, sighing.

"Only Flint would." He muttered to Candice. Flint stepped forward, a grin on his face.

"I'm Flint, a member of the Sinnoh Elite Four, Fire-types being my specialty!"

A red haired girl pushed her way up to Flint, smirking at him.

"I'm the Fire-type gym leader, Flannery."

Flint grinned at her, "Care for a walk?" The two lined arms and walked away, the two groups immediately merging into one. Candice latched onto Volkner's arm as people went finding a person of common type. A loud, cherry laugh rang from behind Volkner & Candice, causing them to jump and turn around to see a small, old man grinning at them.

"Sorry to interrupt," He said, "I'm Wattson, the Electric-type gym leader here. Know any kids who enjoy a shock?"

Candice smiled, detaching from Volkner's arm. "You found one." She said. Volkner shrugged, smiling slightly.

Wattson grinned from ear to ear, grabbing Volkner by the wrist, "Then let's go, boy!" He shouted, dragging Volkner away in the opposite direction. Volkner sent a small wave to Candice, until he was out of sight trying to catch up with Wattson.

Someone tapped on Candice's shoulder. She turned around, her heart skipping a beat for the second time in her life.

He was tall, a head of blue, spiked hair falling just past his ears. There was a smirk on his face, piercing blue eyes staring back at her.

"Hi," He said, "I'm Brawly, the Fighting-type gym leader here. Do you happen to be the Fighting-type gym leader of Sinnoh…?"

Candice giggled, "No, sorry. She's the one, actually." She pointed in Maylene's direction, who was talking to Gardenia and a girl with flowers on the side of her head. Brawly nodded, "I kinda figured it wasn't you, but, I needed an excuse to talk to a girl as cute as you."

Candice's face flushed crimson, more nervous giggles pouring out of her mouth. "I'm Candice, the Ice-type gym leader." She extended her arm, locking Brawly into a handshake. He smiled, "Well, thanks. See you around, Snowflake?"

Candice nodded. Brawly turned on his heels and walked over to Maylene, leaving Candice blushing to herself. Snowflake; a nickname she could get used to.

"Excuse me?"

Candice turned around, a middle aged woman smiling warmly at her.

"I hear you work with Ice-types?" She asked. Candice nodded. "My name is Glacia. I'm the Ice-type user of the Elite Four."

Candice smiled. "Oh! It's nice to meet you! I'm Candice."

"Fancy a stroll with me, dear?"

"Sure."

The two walked down the nearest route, a sandy beach greeting them.

"I noticed the way you were looking at Brawly."

"How so?"

Glacia smiled, "Like the way a trainer looks when they gain a badge."

"Is that a bad thing?"

"It is when I can see you have a thing with the blond lad."

Candice sighed, "I didn't mean to look at him like that. It just…happened. Say, aren't we supposed to be discussing Pokémon?"

"Pokémon can wait, dear. At the moment, your love life is what's important." Glacia said, sitting in the sand.

"I like Volkner. I like him a lot," Candice said, "And I was worried that as soon as we got here, he would find someone better. New region, new girls, right?"

Glacia nodded, a breeze whipping through her pale, blonde locks. "I can tell that Volkner cares about you. You should trust him, though. As for you, you should remember that you're dating Volkner, not Brawly."

"Well, Brawly's just something to look at for five days."

Glacia chuckled, "Just making sure you understand. If you need anyone to talk to, I'm here. We Ice-type users have to stick together."

Candice smiled, "Thanks. Hey, how about a battle?"

Glacia smirked, "I won't go easy on you."

"Didn't want you to."

XXXX

To her surprise, Candice managed to beat Glacia. A powerful Razor Leaf from her Abomasnow caused Glacia's equally powerful Walrein to faint.

Candice had gone down to the market as day was fading, a tangerine sky hanging over her. She hovered over a glass window, staring hungrily at the cakes on display.

"Hey, Snowflake!"

Candice snapped out of her trance, looking up at the blue haired gym leader smiling at her. She grinned back, rocking on her heels, "Hi, Brawly."

"What brings you out here at this time?"

Candice shrugged, looking out at the sky, the sun kissing the horizon. "Just wanted something sweet."

Brawly smiled, "So you found me. Now what?"

Candice blushed, turning back to the cakes calling her name.

"How about I buy you something? My treat!"

Candice shook her head, "No, no, it's fine—"

"'Scuse me?" Brawly said with his charming smile. The woman behind the display turned around, her face lighting up, "Wow! You're Brawly, the Dewford Town gym leader!" Brawly shrugged. "Can I get two of those Spheal cakes?"

The woman nodded happily, plucking two small cakes with sky blue frosting from behind the glass and set them on the counter. Brawly pushed a few Poké Dollars towards her, taking the cakes and smiling warmly, "Thanks so much."

"Oh, you don't have to pay!" She smiled. Brawly pretended her didn't hear and began to walk away, steps falling in sync with Candice's. He handed her one of the Spheal cakes, grinning. Candice hesitated, but she took the pastry and smiled back, "Thanks."

Brawly shrugged, "I wanted to buy it for you anyway." He patted her back as he turned on his heels, walking towards the Pokémon Center.

"Until next time, Snowflake." He called, walking into the building. Candice sighed, looking down at the dessert in her hand. She took a small bite, a burst of light, buttery flavor grinding under her teeth. She smiled, taking another bite as she walked in the opposite direction towards the beach, sitting down in the sand as the sun sank lower. Candice continued to munch contently of her Spheal cake.

"Hey, stranger."

Candice grinned, expecting a head of spiky blue hair. She turned around, her wide grin shrinking just a little bit.

"Hi, Volky." She said, still just as happy to see her boyfriend. He sat down next to her, his hand resting on her waist as she leaned against his shoulder.

"How was your day?" Candice asked, finishing off the Spheal cake. She made a mental note to stock up on those before she left Hoenn.

Volkner shrugged, resting his chin on the top of Candice's head, "It was good, I guess. Wattson's cool—he's just really loud. We had a battle, and I won, since he's the third gym leader in the line and I'm the eighth. I missed you, though."

"I missed you too, Volky." Candice smiled, nuzzling against him. The sun was drowned in the sea, the moon taking its place. A strip of light lit up the water, small waves crashing on the shore.

"How about you?"

"My day was good. Glacia's an Elite Four member, and I beat her in a battle. And, I really like Hoenn. The people here are pleasant; the city is clean and beautiful. It's a nice break from Sinnoh—don't get me wrong, I love Sinnoh, but Hoenn is just… better."

Volkner smirked, "Would you ever consider staying out here? Yanno, like…living here?"

Candice blinked, tilting her head in thought, looking at the crescent moon. "I dunno…maybe. I haven't really…thought about it…"

"We could get a place together."

Candice looked up at Volkner, a small smile on his face. She smiled back, "Are you serious?"

"Of course I am." He kissed her softly on the lips, his fingers gently caressing her cheek. Candice broke contact, tucking her head back against his neck, biting her lip. Volkner wanted to move in with her? They'd only been dating for half a year; did she really want to?

"Candice, you already know how much I adore you. You can say no if you want." Volkner said softly, "I'll still love you no matter what."

She sat up, gently kissing Volkner's cheek. "I'll think about it." She said quietly. Volkner grinned, giving her a loving squeeze.

Candice sighed, standing up. "I'm gonna head back to the hotel…Long day, yanno?"

Volkner nodded, getting up off the sand. He laced his fingers around hers as they walked in the direction of the hotel. At the entrance, they shared a kiss, a loving goodnight embrace, and departed to their rooms on the first floor. Candice shut the door behind her, tip-toeing into the bedroom to see Gardenia & Maylene on one of the three beds.

"Hey, Candice!" Gardenia said, grinning wide. Candice smiled, flopping on the bed on the right.

"Out with Volkner?" Maylene asked. Candice nodded, "He wanted to move out here… and he wants me to come with him."

Maylene and Gardenia gasped simultaneously, hopping on Candice's bed.

"Start from the beginning!" Maylene demanded.

"Well," Candice said, "We were at the beach, and I told him how much I like it here, and he's like, 'We should get a place together', and I was like, 'Are you serious?' and he's like, 'Of course I am.'"

Gardenia smiled, "Awe, that's so cute! Hell, I might move out here… If Roark ever stops talking about Roxanne."

"Roxanne…?" Maylene asked.

"She's the Rock-type gym leader." Gardenia snorted, "The only alone time I have with the guy, and all he does is gush about how awesome Roxanne is, and how cool Roxanne is. Roxanne, Roxanne, Roxanne."

"Awe, someone's jealous…" Candice cooed.

"I am not jealous. Never. Why would I be jealous?"

"You sure sound jealous…" Maylene said. Gardenia glared, folding her arms over her chest.

Candice giggled, "How about you, Maylene? Any boys you have interest in?"

Maylene blushed. "Well, there are two."

"Spill." Candice & Gardenia said in unison.

Maylene sighed, "One of them is Brawly. He's a really good battler, and he's really funny, he's sweet, and not to mention really cute…"

Candice's stomach twisted harshly. Guilt made her heart throb. She loved Maylene more than anything, and she wasn't gonna let a guy like Brawly come between them.

"Who's the second?" Gardenia asked eagerly.

Maylene looked at Candice with narrow eyes. "Steven Stone…"

Candice squealed, bouncing on the bed, "I called it! I totally called it!"

Maylene groaned, "I know, I know. I was talking to him after hanging out with Brawly; he's so nice. But I know neither of them like me."

"Why do you think that?" Gardenia asked.

"Because Brawly left from hanging out to find 'Snowflake'. I don't even know who Snowflake is. He just said, 'It was fun hanging out with you, but I gotta find my Snowflake'."

Candice's stomach almost imploded itself. At the market…he left Maylene to see her.

"Huh…Do you think maybe this Snowflake is from Sinnoh?" Gardenia thought aloud. Maylene shrugged, "What do you think, Candice?"

A wad of worry left her speechless. She tried her best to swallow it, but the more she tried, the dryer her mouth felt.

"I'm not sure." Candice managed to choke out, reaching for the water bottle on the night stand and taking a long gulp.

Maylene sighed, "I guess we'll figure that out later. We should head off to bed."

"Agreed. Night everyone~" Gardenia said, getting up off the middle bed and curling up into the bed on the left. Candice quickly changed into her night clothes, slipping into the bed on the right. Maylene shut off the lamp, the room now dark and quiet except for the rustling of bodies getting comfortable under blankets.

Candice looked up at the dark ceiling, sighing heavily. Someone new had walked right into her life, and there was no way of stopping him. As much as Candice loves Volkner, she's distracted by a blue haired boy with a Hariyama.

And the alias of Snowflake is the only thing keeping her friendship with Maylene under control.

Gardenia, Maylene, Brawly, Volkner, and Candice are probably OOC. I know Volkner's quiet, so I tried my best at that. I never saw how Gardenia, Maylene, and Brawly acted in the anime. So, excuse me.

A bit of Candice x Brawly action. Some of you may not see it, but Iiiiiii caaaaan~

Thanks so much for reading, I truly appriciate it.

Reading is fun..but so is reviewing.

kthxbye. ~
