*unplugs ears*

Sky: Good, now the summary goes like this; everyone had scars, some bigger than the others. But some people need healing more than others. What would happen if one day, two people who both need healing happen to find each other, and in the most unrealistic way? What if they were of different worlds? But the bigger question is, what if they fell for each other?

Well, that's the summary, Keith do the disclaimer.

Sky: *too busy munching on cake*

Cast: ENJOY!


Almia, a wonderful kingdom. Everyone in Almia was friendly, the people, the pokemon, heck there were normally never any crimes committed there. So, why did they choose this place of all places?

Wait, it seems I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's start from the beginning shall we?

It was a peaceful day in our peaceful kingdom of Almia. Laughter filled the air as the people started to gather in the centre of the town. Word had been given that the queen was about to give birth.

Queen Erma, of the Kingdom, was a lovely young lady, full of high spirit. She had the lightest of brown hair with the darkest of brown eyes.

Her husbands, King Hastings, had the darkest of brown hair with the lightest of blue eyes. Both had been happily married for ten years.

You see, unlike most Kingdoms, Almia and Oblivia wanted to unite as one. So, what the old Kings and Queens did, was engage their eldest children to each other.

Prince Hastings of the Almia Kingdom and Princess Erma of the Oblivia Kingdom. Due to Princess Erma moving out of her own Kingdom, her younger brother, Prince Rand took the throne.

Prince Hastings and Princess Erma married a year later at the age of twenty one. For the two of them, most say, that it was love at first sight. But it really wasn't.

To begin with, the two royal children couldn't stand each other. Erma was cheerful and outgoing, while Hastings was serious and kept mostly to himself.

The two had to visit each other, overseas, every month for three weeks. As they got to know each other more, feelings bloomed and became more.

They soon agreed to the engagement with smiles on their faces. They were happy together.

When they were wed their smiles never faded. Princess Erma moved into the Almia Castle with Hastings. The two were always out and about in town.

If you didn't live in Almia, it was a fact that you would pass them and not know who they were. Though most people preferred to curtsy or bow to the King and Queen, Erma and Hastings would have none of it.

They considered everyone in the Almia Kingdom, and the Oblivia Kingdom, to be one large family. They were just united by a more important family.

So, instead of a curtsy or a bow, the people of the Kingdoms greeted them with a simple 'hello', or a 'good morning' before going on their way.

But that's enough for the background history now.

Inside the castle, a moan of pain was heard as Erma paced around her room. Labour pains, something that Erma never knew was worse than period pains.

Hastings sat in a nearby chair as he watched his wife pace. He sighed, having had enough of it before walking over to her. He sat her on the bed before gently massaging her shoulders before going to her lower back.

"Everything's going to be alright, you'll be fine and so will the baby," Hastings smiled as he kissed his wife of the cheek.

"I know that, I'm not worried, or complaining about that. Do you wanna switch places so you can see what these pains are like?" Erma asked as she looked up at her husband, who laughed.

The doctors and nurses entered the room a few minutes later with equipment to help Erma give birth.

"Would you like me to leave?" Hastings asked, but Erma grabbed his shirt.

"No, stay," she practically begged. Hastings nodded his head. Taking his wife's hand, he sat down besides her, waiting for her screams to come.

"Erma I need you to push now," the doctor ordered. Erma gritted her teeth as she squeezed Hastings's hand tightly. The pain of pushing was worse than the labour pains, but if it meant giving birth, she would do it.

Hastings frowned as he saw his wife in this position, but he was happy that she hadn't screamed. Soon, there was no pain for Erma at all, a soft, small crying filled the quietness in the room as the doctor lifted a baby up into his arms.

He walked over to the small bath they had brought in. He gave it a sort, quick bath, getting the blood off of it, before walking over to Hastings and Erma once more.

"Congratulations, it's a girl," the doctor smiled as he handed the baby girl to Erma, who took her into her arms.

Hastings sat besides his wife, tears of joy flowed from his eyes as he looked at the small bundle. Her big blue eyes looked at him and his wife innocently.

Hastings reached his finger out into his daughter's small hands as he smiled lightly at her.

"Hey there baby, what are we gonna call her?" Hastings asked as he looked at Erma, who thought for a second.

"Katherine, I want to called her Katherine. Kate for short though," she answered with a smile. Hastings nodded his head.

"Kate it is then," he replied as he turned to the doctor. "Could you gather everyone in Altru Park, please?" he asked, the doctor nodded his head as he walked out of the room with a quick bow.

An hour passed by. Erma had gotten their little girl dressed and was carrying her in her arms as Hastings walked alongside her. The two were happier than ever before, their eyes full of joy and pride.

They walked towards towns square, also known as Altru Park. Both Hastings and Erma stood on a small stage in the middle of the park. People stood patiently waiting for them to speak.

"Everyone," Hastings's voice was loud, reaching the back of the crowd. Kate shifted slightly in her mother's arms before settling again. "Today's a great day. As you know, Erma has been pregnant with our first child and now, we give you, Princess Katherine, or Kate for short," Hastings announced. He had always been one to get straight to the point, short and sweet, just the way he liked it.

The crowd cheered as they heard the name of their very first princess being born by the couple before congratulating the two of them.

Kate shifted quite a bit due to the noise that was around her, but once it settle down, so did she.

Later that night, Erma had her family from Oblivia over to celebrate the birth of their child. Rand looked at her new niece with pride filled eyes, he knew she would amount to something great.

The family spoke and laughed for a while until Erma said that she would like to rest. The families bid her good night as they watched her take Kate off to her room.

"I know you'll become a great princess someday," Erma whispered to her sleeping daughter like she could hear her before getting into her own bed.

It wasn't until later in life, did Erma and Hastings find out something very important about their daughter.


At the age of five, Princess Katherine had said very few words. Neither Hastings nor Erma wished to send her to public school if she hardly spoke to anyone around her, so they enlisted a private tutor for her.

Even then, Kate would say very few words to the tutor. One day, when the sky was cloudy and the wind was strong, the cook had a fight with the maids and butlers of the castle.

Kate was sitting with her mother and father at the dining table with Kate's new pokemon friend, Eevee.

Suddenly, the door to the dinning room smashed open, causing Kate to flinch. Hastings and Erma both noticed this as the cook began yelling. Kate covered her ears with her hands as she tried to block out the ringing that was occurring.

"Kate, sweetheart, are you alright?" Erma asked as she looked at Kate, but all Kate could see was Erma's mouth moving, she heard no sound.

"I'll go fetch a doctor," Hastings spoke up as he quickly left the table.

"Kate, can you hear me?" Erma asked, the cook finally stopped shouting. Kate waited a few minutes until she looked at her mother with confused eyes. "Kate, can you hear me?" Erma asked again.

"Yes mommy," Kate answered as she looked at her mother.

"Kate, the doctor would like to see you," Hastings stated as he walked back into the dinning room with a man in a white coat.

"Ok daddy," Kate smiled as she jumped up from her seat, Eevee followed her into the large living area along with her mother.

"Kate, I'm just going to check your ears ok?" the doctor asked. Kate only nodded her head as the doctor began shining lights into her ears as he looked into them.

A few minutes later, he was done with both ears. He stood up, holding his hand out for Kate to stand up, the young girl took his hand.

"I'm afraid Princess Kate has Sensorineural deafness, which often reduces the quality of sound as well as its loudness. However, she also seems to be prone to loud noises, which can affect it. I'm afraid one day she may be permanently deaf," the doctor explained.

"Isn't there a way to cure it?" Erma asked.

"I'm afraid not. You could try the healing pokemon Celebi, but they haven't been seen in a long while. I am sorry we can be of no help, but we can give her a hearing aid," the doctor answered. Hastings shook his head.

"No, if she's prone to loud noises it will only make it worse. We'll get a sign language teacher for her," Hastings stated, the doctor nodded as he showed himself out of the room.

"Daddy, what's wrong with me?" Kate asked as she tugged on Hastings's pant leg. Hastings smiled down at his daughter. Erma knew she could speak fluently, she just never bothered.

"You have a problem with your hearing. Loud noises affect the way it acts, it can only be treated by the legendry pokemon Celebi, but that pokemon hasn't been seen in a while. So, just in case you go permanently deaf, we're going to get you a sign language teacher," Hastings explained. Kate, being the young age she was, only understood about half of what he had said and that was the part about Celebi being able to help her.

Kate nodded her head, pretending she understood as she skipped off. Erma sighed as she looked at Hastings, who suddenly had a thought.

"We can keep her away from loud noises. Normally Almia's a quiet Region unless there's a large party going on, we can just have the music turned down and give Kate ear plugs to carry around with her," Hastings smiled. Erma nodded her head, for now it was their best bet.

But Erma couldn't help thinking what she would do if her daughter turned out permanently deaf.


Rythmi: Well, Seren's busy chasing HTF who managed to get away. So how about you just review and tell us what you think.
