Great news everyone! I guarantee that their will be lemons in this chapter. That's right! perfectly good, sweet old, lemonade! Who doesn't love lemonade anyways? Now on with the story!


"Dinners ready!" James called as he finished making Amber's fruit salad. As a vespiquen, Amber's main diet consists of berries and honey. Because of that, she mainly eat's fruit salads and rarely eats anything else then that.

[I heard you] Amber said as she floated into the kitchen. She then looked down at the dinner James made for her and sighed.

"Something wrong Amber?" James asked as he finished making his burger.

[Nothings wrong] Amber said as she picked up her bowl of fruits and berries. [It's just that sometimes I get bored of eating the same thing over and over again.]

"Well how about I make you something different next time?" James suggested as he thought of potential meals he could make for Amber.

[Well there is something you can make for me] Amber smiled slyly as she put her bowl on the table.

"And that would be what exactly?" James asked as he poured himself a glass of lemonade.

[I'll give you a hint. Something 'meaty'] Amber whispered as she leaned over to James, giving him her best seductive face.

"You mean my hamburger?" James asked, completely oblivious as to what Amber was referring to.

[Wait, what? No! I don't want to eat your burger!] Amber said as she shook her head. She shuddered at the mere thought of eating something so fatty and greasy. [I would never eat such a disgusting thing ever! Not in a million years!]

"Then what else?" James said confused.

[I'll give you another hint] Amber said as she winked at him. [Something long]

"Meaty and long," James muttered to himself. 'Please get it!' Amber thought to herself as she she prayed to arceus that he would understand what she was referring to.

"I get it now!" James exclaimed. "You want to eat a sausage!"

[…] Amber stared at James as if was an idiot and face palmed herself. [Okay, lets try this again. I want something meaty, long, AND something you have WITH you right now]

"But I don't have sausages on me," James said confused as he scratched his head. "Do you want me to get some or do you want me to grind up some hamburger meat and make it into the shape of a sausage?"

Amber sighed in defeat and picked up her bowl of fruit. [Never mind. I'm gonna go in the living room] Amber then flew off into the living room.

"Okay! Tell me if you get longly!" James said as he happily ate his burger.

Amber placed her bowl of fruit on the table in the living room and sat down heavily on a chair. [The direct approach failed] Amber grumbled to herself. She then grabbed the book about honey from behind the chair she was sitting on and took a look on it. Amber then flipped through the pages until she found one which read how to create the syrup. 'I need his help, but how do I do it' Amber thought to herself. 'It says that I require a male with a close bond to start the process, but how do I say it?'

"Hey Amber, what are you reading?" James asked as he looked over Amber's shoulder. Amber froze at the sound of James's voice as he looked at the page she was on.

"What is this?" James asked as he started reading. "Syrup of the queens? Never heard of it."

[N-N-N-nothing] Amber stuttered as she slowly closed the book. [I think I'm just gonna eat my food somewhere else] Amber then picked up her bowl and slowly floated towards her room.

"Strange," James said as he scratched his head. "Amber never acted like that before."

His gaze then fell on the book that Amber left on the table. He then picked it up and looked at the title of the book. "This is the exact same book that Amber was reading about earlier," James muttered to himself as he sat down. "Let's see what Amber was reading about."

James flipped through the pages about honey and how to make it. His eyes then fell onto the page about vespiquens. "The syrup of the queens, is made specifically by vespiquen," James read.

"The syrup is used to feed female combee's as it is more nutritious and sweeter than honey. Creating the syrup is critical for a vespiquen as it determines wether or not the vespiqeun is allegeable to lead the colony and is a suitable mother for the future generation. The syrup and can only be made by a vespiquen and with a male. The male must have a close relationship with the vespiquen as the male and the vespiquen must mate."

James then closed the book and slumped down on the chair. Slowly the he pieced together the puzzle and realized what he needed to do. "This is going to be so awkward," James grumbled to himself as he walked over to Amber's room.


'Oh crap oh crap oh crap' Amber thought to herself as she fly in a circle inside her room. A million thoughts flew around her mind as she worried about what might James do if he figured out what Amber was planning to do. [What happens if he abandons me? Or if he hates me for what I planned to do?] Amber muttered to herself as she pressed her hands against her head.

[Argh! Calm down Amber] Amber said to herself as she sat down on her bed. [James is a reasonable person. Surely he will understand the kind of predicament I'm in right?]

Amber then took a few deep breathes and reached for the left over flowers from today's honey making. The one she picked was a brilliant tulip. Its petals seemed to glow a soft red and had a sweet fragrance. Quickly Amber bite of the petals and threw the now-petaless flower over her shoulder. [Gotta keep calm, gotta keep calm] Amber told herself as she continued to eat the petals off dozens of flowers.

Amber reached for another flower only to realize that she had eaten them all. Preciously twenty seven flowers laid behind her completely stripped of petals. Amber quickly looked around her room to find something else to eat. Her eyes zeroed in on the bowl of berries that James prepared for her and she quickly flew over to it. Inside the bowl were bluk, pinap, magost, and pecha berries as well as apples and strawberries. Amber quickly scarfed down as much food as possible before James entered the room.

"So Amber, I know what's going on and I just wanna say-," James began until he saw Amber stuffing her face with berries. "What are you doing?!"

[Nothing!] Amber quickly said, her mouth full of food, as she hide the bowl behind her. She then swallowed the food inside her mouth and wiped her face with a cloth before grinning at James. [So, how are you doing?]

"Why were you eating so quickly?" James demanded, ignoring Amber's question. "You only eat like that when your worried."

[Me worried?] Amber scoffed before giving James a nervous look. [I'm not worried at all! In fact I'm feeling better then ever!]

"Oh really then?" James asked as he crossed his arms over his chest. "Then why are there so many petal less flowers behind you then?" James pointed to the clearly visible pile of flower stems behind Amber. "You only eat flower petals when you worried or scared and that's something I'm sure of."

[Those flowers?] Amber said innocently. [Those flowers had all, uh, joltiks on them!]

"Sure," James said as he rolled his eyes. "Then what might I ask you what did you do with those petals exactly?"

[I , uh,threw them in the garbage!] Amber stammered. [Yes I disposed of all the infected petals! Don't bother looking for them because I'm pretty sure the joltiks ate all the petals by now!]

"Amber, I know your lying to me," James said sternly.

[W-what makes you think I'm lying?]Amber asked nervously.

"For starters jultiks aren't found in Sinnoh. Secondly you don't have a garbage can in your bedroom and lastly you hover up and down when your lying," James pointed out.

Amber looked around and sure enough, she was hovering up and down slowly. Amber sighed in defeat and floated towards her bed. [Okay you got me] Amber confessed. [I wanted your help to me some special syrup. It can only be made by-]

"-A male and vespiquen mating," James finished as he sat down beside Amber.

[But, how did you know?] Amber asked.

"I read the book you left on the living room table," James smiled.

'I knew I forgot something' Amber muttered to herself as she crossed her arms. Amber then suddenly felt James' arms around her. "You don't have to worry about anything," James said softly. "We're friends and I'll help you out in anyway I can."

[Really? So you'll help me make it?] Amber asked James uncertainly.

"Anything for a friend," James reassured Amber. "Just one question though."

[And that is?] Amber asked.

James looked away for a moment, blushing before looking back at Amber. "How do we do it exactly?"
