A few days had passed since then. Mew, alongside some other legendaries, had helped Diancie with many of the more technical aspects of song writing. It had been a long, but nonetheless rewarding process. Diancie couldn't have been happier with how it turned out. Now all that remained was to show the story to Meloetta.
Diancie floated down the hall, paper clutched in hand. It was a route she knew off by heart. Diancie and Meloetta were good friends. They had talked the hours away, sometimes in the company of others, and sometimes on their own. It was times such as these that Diancie treasured more than any other. Meloetta made her feel happy, in such a way that was impossible for any other to accomplish.
Meloetta's smile could light up an entire room, and Diancie found grate joy in being the one who put that smile there. Diancie blushed as she thought of her friend. There had been one night, long ago that still stuck out in her mind.
It had been after one of Arceus' council meetings. The two friends had run into each other quite by accident on their way out, much to both of their delight. They chatted about nothing in particular, as they wandered the halls. After a time, they had found themselves upon one of the terraces that graced the Hall. Their eyes were graced with the sight of hundreds of thousands of stars, like tiny flakes of brilliances upon a sheet of black velvet.
It had been silently agreed by both of them no to leave. There upon the terrace they had talked about everything the world had to offer. It was where Diancie felt her first butterflies form making her laugh, from seeing her smile. That was when she had fallen for Meloetta.
Diancie's thoughts were interrupted as she came to the door that marked the entrance to Meloetta's room. She raised her hand to knock, but felt herself stop. Was this really such a good idea? What if Meloetta didn't feel the same way? Worse still, what if she didn't want to be friends with her anymore. Diancie couldn't bear the thought. She turned to leave, only to come face to face with the melody Pokémon herself.
"Hey Dia! How are you?" Meloetta said brightly
"I'm fine" Diancie said abashedly, failing to meet Meloetta's gaze. Quickly, she hid the paper from Meloetta's gaze.
"The stars are out tonight. Want to go watch them again?"
It had become something of a tradition to go stargazing on clear nights. The time the two of them shared was a time Diancie always looked forward to.
"I'd love to" Diancie replied, a blush beginning to creep across her face.
"Great! Shall we?"
Without another word, Meloetta and Diancie flew to the terrace.
They made pleasant conversation along the way. Diancie kept the paper well out of sight, and hope that it hadn't been noticed earlier. It had yet to come up in their conversation, and Diancie was beginning to think she was in the clear. They came to the terrace, and Diancie let out an internal sigh of relief.
"I meant to ask earlier, but what was that sheet of paper you had with you for?" Meloetta asked curiously.
Lightning shot into Diancie's heart. She hadn't been quick enough. Embarrassed, she pulled the sheet from behind her back, and handed it silently to Meloetta. The silence was agonizing as Meloetta looked it over. Diancie took a great interest in the stars tonight. They seemed to be watching over her with a curios interest. At this time, Diancie wished she could be on one, if only to escape from this humiliation.
"Dia, did you write this?" Meloetta asked softly
Diancie simply nodded her head in response.
"It's wonderful."
Despite her shame, Diancie smiled a little. Surely that compliment was a good sign? She dared not get her hopes up.
"Can we sing it, together? Meloetta asked in the same soft tone of voice.
Meloetta floated over to sit beside Diancie, placing the music between them. Diancie's blush increased tenfold. She took a few breaths to calm her nerves, before they both began to sing.
The song was a beautiful, hauntingly slow song. They sang a song of true love for another, the bond shared by two souls who were meant for one another. Their voices melded together. The song seeming to stretch far beyond the terrace, up to where the stars could listen.
Eventually, it drew to a close. Without a word, Meloetta and Diancie turned to each other. Meloetta placed a gentle kiss upon Diancie's lips, and Diancie returned the kiss in kind. They held the kiss as long as possible, before reluctantly drawing away for air.
"I love you, Meloetta." Diancie sighed happily.
"I love you too, Diancie" Meloetta sighed in a similar fashion.
They kissed again, the stars above twinkling as though they were as happy as the two Pokémon below them.
