A/N: Franticshipping time! I must admit though, this is my least favorite out of my OTPs.

Imagine your OTP as that "not-couple" you knew in 9th grade that flirt very passive-aggressively and pulled pranks to get each other's attention.

"What the hell, prissy boy?!" a voice shouted in the halls of The Special Pokémon Academy.

"But Sapph! It was an accident!" the boy replied, a hint of panic in his voice.

There, in the middle of a gathered crowd was a soaked Sapphire, who was glaring at an amused looking Ruby.

Eyes blazing, Sapphire stomped up to him and she grabbed the collar of his shirt, his cry of "Sapphire! You're ruining my clothes!" going unheard.

"Listen here, prissy boy. I am going to get you. It may not be today. It might not even be tomorrow." Sapphire's eyes narrowed. "But know this. I am going to get you, and I am going to get you good."

Sapphire roughly shoved Ruby away and made her way through the group of spectators, leaving them, and Ruby, to stare at her as she angrily marched down the hallway. The crowd slowly dispersed, clearly not affected by Sapphire's outburst.

A day in the life of The Special Pokémon Academy.

Deep blue eyes wandered around the room. She couldn't help it. She just felt so out of place in her dress, filled with a bunch of vaguely familiar strangers. But what worried her (more like pissed her off) more was the fact that no one seemed to be approaching her.

Sure, she wasn't exactly the most approachable person back in high school, but it was a high school reunion! Weren't they all about forgive and forget and all of that other girly crap that Blue used to shove down her throat?

Sapphire was snapped out of her thoughts by the sensation of someone tapping her shoulder. Quickly whipping around, she stared wide-eyed at the culprit.

"Prissy boy?" Sapphire instinctively blurted out.

"What, even after all of these years? I'm wounded, Sapphire."

Sapphire immediately recovered, falling back into their old routine. "Just stating the truth."

The two suddenly found themselves in an awkward silence.

Ruby cleared his throat and extended a hand out. "Would you like to dance?"

It suddenly occurred to Sapphire that they were the only two people not on the dance floor.

"Eh…Sure, why not?" she replied, walking off to the dance floor, completely ignoring his hand.

Ruby sighed and followed after her.

As soon as they were facing each other, the music slowed down. The two stared at each other, not quite knowing what to make of the situation.

Surprisingly, Sapphire made the first move.

"Well?" Sapphire cocked an eyebrow, a faint blush dusting her cheeks. "Are we gonna dance or what?"

"O-of course." Ruby stammered. He drew her in carefully. They fell into a simple waltz, with Ruby keeping his distance. Sapphire noticed this, of course.

"What's wrong? Are you afraid of me or something?"

"It's not that, it's just…"

"Just what?"

"Aren't we supposed to hate each other?"

They both remained silent for awhile.

"…I don't hate you." Sapphire said quietly, suddenly finding her shoes quite interesting.

"What?"

Sapphire looked Ruby directly into his eyes. "I said…I don't hate you."

"Oh…" Ruby paused. "Hey Sapph?"

"Yeah?"

"I don't hate you, too."

And just like that, the tension was gone.

Ruby, always the conversationalist, kept going on. "We had some crazy times, huh?"

Sapphire gave a tiny smile. "…Yeah."

"Like that time when the only thing we did was argue for a whole week?"

"Or when we had those prank wars with the other guys?"

"Can't forget about the chemistry incident."

"Plus that day when I dyed your uniform different colors."

"And that time when I accidentally sprayed you with that hose!"

Sapphire came to a halt, forcing Ruby to stop too.

"Now that one was definitely not an accident."

"I assure you Sapphire, it most definitely was."

"Oh yeah? And exactly how does someone accidentally spray someone with a hose?!" Sapphire shouted.

At that point, they unknowingly had everyone's attention. A crowd gathered around the duo.

"How many times do I have to get it through your thick skull, Sapph?" Ruby shouted back. "Rald accidentally turned on the hose and you just so happened to be in my way!"

"No way, I am not accepting that bull-"

Everyone looked on at the arguing pair with mirth in their eyes, flashes of a younger "not-couple" running through their minds.
