Moonlight

Disclaimer: If I didn't own Pokemon half an hour ago, what makes you think I own it now?
Once again, this short little excuse for a love story is dedicated to The Crimson Lugia. Heh, yeah… I'm going outside my usual shipping for this! I really hope you like it ^_^U *sweatdrop*

Part 2 – Will
(yawn) It is getting late, isn't it? Oh well… I'm just waiting up for my Espeon. He said he was gonna go look for Karen's Umbreon, and he hasn't returned yet… Go figure. I think there's more going on between those two than Karen and I know…
Speaking of Karen, I wonder where she is right now. I know she's not asleep… she's usually awake in the night. I've seen her, standing in the middle of her empty battlefield, looking up at the night sky… (sigh) So lovely…
..Oh no, I didn't just say that out loud, did I?
All right, you caught me. So I like Karen… a lot. I know she doesn't return these feelings… Who could love something as dark and cold as me? Even though I train an Espeon, the Pokemon of the Sun, I keep myself in the darkness; I hide behind this mask, and I see nothing but darkness. Maybe that's why I like Karen so much… every little thing about her just screams darkness. The clothes she wears, the Pokemon she trains… I am lost in the darkness that is Karen Mihara*. Just as her Umbreon has won the affection of Espeon, Karen has stolen my heart. Not that it's a bad thing…
There is absolutely nothing not to love about Karen. Aside from her… *ahem* looks, she has a very friendly and open personality, especially for a Dark-type trainer. If she trusts you, she'll open up to you completely; she's not afraid to cry on your shoulder if she's depressed. I should know… I've helped that girl through a lot of tough spots. Like the time when Lance yelled at her just because she allowed some young trainer to come into the plateau to talk to him. Lance can be so insensitive sometimes… And usually Karen's the one who gets the tail end of all of his ranting. I don't know why… he just doesn't seem to like her. My theory is that he's afraid of her… because she's perfectly capable of taking his place as Champion.
But I shall stop ranting now… There's no reason for me to be talking about Karen like this. I know she could never return my affection… So it's pointless to sit in here and dream. It's too bad, though… Every time I see her standing in the moonlight, I close my eyes and imagine myself standing there with her, sharing that glorious moonlight…
Ah, here comes Espeon. Finally returned… Now maybe, I can get a little bit of rest. There will be challengers tomorrow, and being first in line, I have to get up the earliest… I recall Espeon to its Pokeball, and lie back in my bed… And suddenly, I can feel some other presence around me… A warm presence…
There's a knock at my door, and I jolt up, my heart racing. This feeling is familiar… Somehow, I know exactly who's behind that door.
"Hello, Will?" comes the angelic voice. "It's me, Karen…"
She sounds a bit tense… There must be something on her mind. I hope Lance hasn't been pressuring her again… Sometimes, I just want to run away with her, away from that arrogant man who calls himself our leader…
There we go again, I'm thinking about Karen in 'that way.' Get over yourself, William, she doesn't like you and that's that. But… I still can't help but hope… Slowly, I take a deep breath.
"Come in…"

A/N: And there you have it! My short little Karen/Will story!! Definitely not as good as I would have liked, but I like it nonetheless. Yes, I am still a Karen/Lance shipper… but I did this for a friend. You rock, TCL!!
*Mihara is the last name I made up for Karen… actually I ripped it off from some anime somewhere. CCS I think.
