~ Fifteen years ago, Saffron City Main Train Station ~
Night fell on the largest city in the Kanto Region - Saffron City. Even at night, the city was as lively as in the day and the train station was no exception. The station platforms were still crowded with people and Pokémon waiting or lining up to board the trains to get to their destinations. A limousine pulls up in front of the train station.
"Miss Danielle, we have arrived," said the driver.
Danielle arrived from her vacation home in the Cerulean Cape. Now, she was returning home to her mansion in Ercuteak City on the Platinum Express, a luxurious first class express train that ran from Saffron City to Goldenrod City in the Johto Region. Danielle walked into the bustling train station in her elegant light green short dress.
~ One week ago ~
It was a rainy night. Danielle just arrived at the Saffron Station. It was a cold night; she was wearing a red winter cape jacket to stay warm. She felt warm on the outside and in the inside of her heart. She was eagered and excited about seeing her fiancee. A limousine pulled up in front of the Saffron train station. Lance, her driver and the butler of her vacation home in Cerulean Cape, drove her to her fiancee's mansion in Cerulean City.
"Miss Danielle, we have arrived," said Lance.
Danielle replied, "Thank you, Lance."
She stepped off the limousine and could not wait to see him.
She rang the doorbell. A maid of the residence greeted her.
"Miss Danielle, welcome. Please come in," said the maid softly with a french accent.
"Thank you, is master home," asked Danielle.
"Yes, he is. Shall I go get him?"
"No, tell me where he's located. I want to surprise him."
"He is in his study, my lady."
Danielle went to her fiancee's study. Her fiancee was Ethan. He was thirty one years old and the chief executive officer of an insurance company. During this rainy night, he was in his study relaxing after a busy day of work and was stressed out.
Danielle walked to the study. Her high heels click-clacked as she walked up the stairs and down the corridor. She approached the door to the study and opened it slowly. Ethan was sitting on his arm chair next to his desk and texting. All of a sudden, he dropped his phone on his desk when Danielle entered.
"Hi babe," said Danielle flirtatiously.
Ethan was shocked, but said, "b… babe, what are you doing here?"
"I came to visit you. Aren't you happy?" said Danielle as she was walking towards and behind Ethan. She slowly placed her hands on his shoulders to give him a massage. "You're so stiff."
"Babe, I didn't knew you were coming. You should have told me."
Danielle kissed her fiancee on the cheek. Her lipstick left a mark on his cheek.
She leaned down to his ear and said, "I wanted to surprise you, babe."
The two looked into each other's eyes. Danielle sat on his lap and the two kissed.
The next morning, Danielle woke up in Ethan's bed, but Ethan was not there. She went to look for him with only a blanket wrapped around her body. She found him talking on his phone in his study. There was a slim crack through the door and Danielle peaked inside.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know she was coming," said Ethan. "I'm sorry. Let's meet tomorrow."
Who is he meeting, wondered Danielle.
"Ok, ok, I'll meet you at the usual place," said Ethan with a worried expression. "See ya tomorrow night."
Ethan finished his phone call. Danielle surreptitiously walked away. She went to the bathroom to get ready for the day. As she was rummaging through her make up, she found some things that seem unfamiliar to her. She picked up an eyeliner.
Danielle looked at the eyeliner and grew weary herself.
Then, she saw in the corner of her eye a medicine bottle in the opened cabinet. She picked it up and saw Jennifer labeled on the bottle. Her womanly instincts were telling her that Ethan might be cheating.
She threw the medicine into the trash can with some force. She placed her hands on her head and began to panic as she form negative thoughts in her mind. She got dressed up and went down to the dining room. Ethan was there sipping his coffee.
"Morning babe," said Ethan.
"Good morning," said Danielle. "What do you have planned for the day?"
"Umm, nothing much. I'm just going to work after breakfast,"
Danielle ate and watched her fiancee while he was eating. She grew more and more suspicious. There was a period of silence when they were eating.
"Well, I'm finished eating. I'm going to head out now. Bye babe." said Ethan. He kissed her before leaving.
Ethan left the house and got into a limousine. Danielle followed him out the door. She sent out her Noctowl.
"Noctowl, follow Ethan and let me know his whereabouts," said Danielle.
After work, Ethan went to a townhouse. He picked up a girl. Watching him from nearby was Danielle. When she saw the girl wrapping her arm around Ethan's arm, she was crushed; her heart dropped. Her eyes were wide open in shock and a tear drop rolled down her cheek.
"Why… Why must this happen?" Danielle said quietly and sadly.
Ethan and the girl walked away. Danielle was dressed in a red motorcycle outfit and rode off in her motorcycle back to the mansion.
Back at the mansion, Danielle sat at the dining room table and changed into a short white dress with her hair down. The table was set up with plates, utensils, and a candlestick with white candles. She asked the maids to set up the table with a feast and waited for Ethan to return.
However, she waited for exactly two nights and three days. She drank dark coffee to stay awake. On the third night, Ethan returned drunk with Jennifer in his arms.
"Sir, madam have been waiting for you in the dining room for three days. We all tried talking to her, but she refused to answer. I'm worried for her.," said a maid.
"What?" said a drunkened Ethan.
Ethan and Jennifer walked into the dining room and saw Danielle sitting down at the table. Danielle's eyes were wide open and red; wrinkles formed due to the lack of sleep. Her hair was frizzled
"Look at this wench," said Ethan.
"Who is this trash?" asked Jennifer while laughing.
Danielle looked up at Ethan shockingly.
"Look at her, Jenni," smirked Ethan. "This person is a fool. She is waiting for me to return to her."
The two laughed.
Danielle smashed a plate on the ground and picked up a cracked piece. She ran towards Ethan, but Ethan pushed her to the ground. Ethan and Jennifer continued to laugh at her.
"Fool! You look like a prostitute," said Ethan.
Ethan kissed Jennifer in front of Danielle.
He said flirtatiously, "Baby, I want to bathe now and want you to join me. I want to look at you while I'm in the bath."
When the two were about to walk away, Ethan turned around and said to Danielle, "You pick this up."
He stared at her and then raised his voice. He yelled as if he had dominance over her, "Did you hear me?!"
The two walked away. Danielle was still on the ground and began to cry out loud. In an act of sorrow, Danielle was heart struck and cried loudly. Her cry echoed through the hall way of the mansion. She ran out the mansion in her white dress. She called out to Lance while she was running. Lance was standing right next to her in the dining room and followed her out of the mansion.
"Lance, to the car!" said Danielle.
Lance and Danielle got into the limousine. Danielle told Lance to drive her to her vacation resort in the Cerulean Cape. When they arrived, she went to a cliff ledge and looked out to the sea. The wind blows through her hair. She fell on her knees in distraught and began crying again. Streams of tears rolled across her cheek.
She passionately said, "Why must this happen to me? Everything was perfect. I was going to have my dream wedding. I was going to get my dream man. Why did it change? That is not fair. Life is not fair."
Later in the night, Danielle sat at the bar counter in her resort and drank multiple glasses of Hennessy. Glass after glass, all she thought of was Ethan. She thought of the time they met at a party and fell in love on the dance floor. She thought of the many times they dated. She though about Ethan's proposal to her and how romantic it was. She also thought about the recent scene of events that happenned from the clues in the bathroom to the harsh words that came from his mouth. The next morning, Danielle packed up her things and decide to head back to Johto.
At the Saffron Train station, Danielle looked at a map of the station and saw that Platform 8, the boarding platform for the Platinum Express, was at the back. She looked at her ticket and read the express train would leave at ten-o-clock. It was nine, so she briskly walked to the platform. When she arrived, she saw people boarding and followed suit.
Danielle showed her ticket to the conductor and entered. The train was filled with people of high society- gentlemen, ladies, and socialites. She walked through the aisles towards the sleeping cars. When she found her car, she stowed her luggage away. At exactly ten-o-clock, the train left the Saffron City Station.
Once the train reached a comfortable speed, Danielle visited the dining car with a bar. She sat at the bar counter and ordered a glass of wine.
Meanwhile, in a lounge car, a group of young men and women were having fun partying, popping champagne bottles, and blasting really loud music. One of the young men was Blue, a former Pokémon Champion and an interim Gym Leader. He was traveling to the Johto Region to take part in an exhibition match for a tournament. The other men and women were his high-society friends who loved partying. Even champions needed a drink and fun once in a while.
Danielle also requested some tequila shots and Hennessy to relieve some stress. As she drank more shots, Danielle became more and more drunk. She tried to stand, but her body was shaking. She decided to go back to her bedroom; however, she was unaware of her surroundings and walked into someone else's room. She removed her clothes and got on the bed.
After hours of fun and entertainment, Blue and his friends ended the party and dispersed. Blue was the most drunk, so one of Blue's friends carried him back to his sleeping car. As they got close to the room, Blue told his friend to leave and he entered the room. At first, he did not recognize someone was on his bed. He removed his shirt and pants exposing his bare naked body. He got onto his bed and smelled a scented perfume. The smell of Danielle's perfume wafted throughout the atmosphere surrounding the bed. Blue leaned over on top of Danielle and kissed her. As he kissed an unconscious Danielle, her perfume captivated him and drew him closer. Danielle felt someone kissing her and all she could thought about in her drunken state was Ethan. As the night continued, the sound of the train was all that was left of the noise.
The next morning, Danielle woke up and noticed she was not in her room. She sat up on the bed and noticed a shirtless man lying next to her. She quickly recognized the man as Blue, a former champion. She was so shocked and started to cry from the sudden realization. She tried to recollect what had happened the night before. When she did, she felt embarrassed and guilty for allowing this to happen. She got dressed in her clothes and left the bedroom quickly while a shirtless Blue continued to sleep.
