Well, here's a little ViridianShipping something for Valentines Day. Yeah, it's not one of my favorite stories, and being the Shipper I am, it surprises people to know that Valentines Day is not one of my favorite holidays. This story draws plot points from the last one but isn't a direct sequel. For example the girl is Blue in this story, not Green like in the last one. ViridianShipping, and a bit of LuckyShipping. Have fun, and also bear in mind I'm in a bit of a hurry here.

Valentines Card

Like most stories where one person recalls a past event that they associate with a story, mine opens with the phrase "like most stories". It was last year when the trouble started, but in any case, the whole thing begins with the remnants of a story that you probably should've read by now. I was looking for my roots and where I came from. My search brought me to a town surrounded by a huge forest called Viridian, which ended up being home to a girl I very vaguely recalled from somewhere around two years ago. One of Blue's friends, Yellow. She ended up being much more help than I would've given her credit for.

I had asked Lance to read my Sneasel's mind, which brought up very little. But Yellow, who had the same powers managed to dig up more. She said something about Sneasel maybe remembering more due to the familiar surroundings. Well, long story short, she helped me find my father, and because of that, I guess I was grateful. Ironically, I'd always assumed Yellow's personality was exaggerated on Blue's part. It wasn't, now I know better than to assume Blue over exaggerates anything.

I talked to her for only a little bit, trying to thank her, and she turned out to be everything Blue said she was. And considering my father wasn't going anywhere for a while and I was originally meant to be brought up in Viridian I mostly stayed in the area and had the chance to see Yellow more often. Admittedly I'm not really the one who made the effort, she continued to come and find me. Innocent enough right? Well somewhere around here is where things get complicated.

Not very long ago, my sister figure Blue got together with this guy she knew named Red. And admittedly, I had what could easily be called a crush on her, but not so much to the point where I was particularly upset. And among other things that happened Yellow gave me a belated birthday present sometime in January when she found out that my birthday was Christmas Eve. She said it was an interesting birth date and also said she wanted to get me something since we're friends now. And of course with all of this in mind, I thought of it the same way, I considered her a personal friend.

So when February came around, there was mention of this Valentines Day card thing that went around. I'd done it once before, and I remembered that usually Red or Yellow or someone usually made the cards so they'd be more personal or something like that. And since Red was my "soul sister's" boyfriend I figured I could ask him for help, I'd gotten Yellow to do the ones for Blue, Crys and even Gold. But of course if I needed one for Yellow, I couldn't ask her to do it so I asked if he could. Now before you start thinking I should've done it myself, I'm not a very "complimenty" person. But apparently, in a stroke of rarity, Red, for whatever reason, decided it would be funny to pull a prank of sorts on me.

When they write the cards they usually put in stuff that we say or want them too but with a kind of Valentines twist. Red on the other hand, either from some seeded vendetta or sheer stupidity, I don't know him well enough to say which, he twisted my words inside out. What I had originally wanted him to put was;

"Yellow, I never expected you, someone I knew of mostly from what Blue told me to become one of my… nicest friends. And maybe it's just that you've been coming to see me more and more often but I feel like, of anyone that had any major role in my life you may have had the most important, helping me find my father and supporting me through all of this. A lot like Blue would've but unlike her, you never really had a reason to. So for Valentines Day, since you know I'm not good at talking with my actual emotions involved I just wanted to say thank you."

That's what I said. Even now, I still feel weird about what the card said. It wasn't vulgar or suggestive, it was just, uncomfortable. I remember she started avoiding me for about half an hour before I talked to Blue about it and apparently Yellow had come to her before me and had talked to her. That's basically when the two of us put it together. Blue said she wasn't going to lead Red on about it or punish him for it, but she said she was going to "knock him off his feet".

I thought about asking what she meant but I felt it would be best not to. After all I figured I should talk to Yellow first and figure out what the hell Red was thinking later. For the majority of the near-hour she spent "avoiding" me, and I use the term loosely, she'd simply stayed quiet or walked away in situations she normally would've tried to strike up conversations. Whenever I said hi, she'd pretend not to here me or at the most I'd get a quick and timid wave. So when I went to talk to her, I actually had to grab her sleeve to keep her from walking away, I even remember how the conversation went.

"Yellow wait." The obvious thing to say when you stop someone from leaving, "We need to talk."

"About what?" She asked me curiously but I knew she was hoping to talk about the card and what it said.

So of course I had to say; "About that card you got for Valentines Day."

I'd explained the whole thing to her. But she still looked rather, peculiar.

"…Wha?"

"Red mixed my words. What you read on the card, I didn't mean for it to say that." I told her.

Yellow looked at me for little less than a second then put her finger to her chin and looked up to her left.

"What?" I asked, reading her body language.

She sighed, "Silver, I kinda want to believe you. But. It's just not…"

"What? And how can you 'kinda want to believe me'?"

She looked at me kind of sympathetically, like she wasn't sure how I'd take what she was thinking, "That just doesn't seem like something Red would do."

"What? Why? How hard is it to believe?"

"Well, Red just doesn't act like that."

"Maybe something inspired him to do it."

"I don't know."

I decided I'd just take the quick way out. I grabbed her wrist and held her hand near my forehead. She blushed at first. I don't think she expected it. She picked up quickly and she was reading my mind, my memories.

"Y-… You're…" She was stammering, she seemed hurt somehow, "You're not lying."

"You never did answer me." I started.

"Huh?"

"How can you kinda want to agree with me? Walk me through that it doesn't make sense to me."

She looked at me, with wide eyes and the curious child like look, "Well." She began; slowly she took a seat in the grass, "Kind of because, I would like to know you're honest with me… Kind of because, well I know you and getting to know how you feel without using my powers is always an enigma…"

"Yellow, I know you had a crush on Red." She turned around quickly and looked at me like I'd just revealed a deep, personal secret, "Try not to act so surprised, I was raised by Blue remember?"

"Well, it's not just about Red, it's…"

"What?"

She turned back around, "Well… Some of the things the card said were a little… Awkward. But. I say I kinda want to believe you… because I kinda don't want to believe you."

"Why not?"

"Well…" She seemed to be purposely looking in the opposite direction of where I was standing, "Maybe I wanted to believe some of the things on the card were true."

It finally hit me, "Oh, OH!"

I couldn't see her face, but I got the strangest feeling she was looking down. She really hadn't given me any warning sign. Well I only had the basic idea; I needed to know exactly how she feels.

Yellow's P.O.V.

Flashback

"Blue I really don't know." I said shyly.

"Come on, it'll be fun, it'll look fantastic on you." Blue urged me.

"Well, okay."

I came out of my friend's closet wearing one of her old outfits. I had on a red and white plaid bandana that went on the top of my head; it was relatively small so it didn't cover much, like my bangs or my ponytail. I had a brown coat that I wore with four big black buttons across the torso that held it shut, and it went down below my hips. I had white, nearly hip-high socks and red platform shoes with sparkles on them. I felt the heat of my face and knew I was blushing; I'm not really a person who isn't comfortable in a new outfit but it was kind of… breezy.

"How do I look?" I asked timidly.

"Oh you look gorgeous." Blue insisted.

"Aw come on, stop." I felt really bashful; I guess I'm just a bashful person, "Why am I wearing this again?"

"Well because I bought it when I was twelve or thirteen and forgot all about it. So since I'd never touched it, when you came over, I figured, 'is this Yellow's size'?" She explained. I looked downward for a second, "You can go ahead and keep the outfit. I don't really have a purpose for it."

"Okay, sure… So, um… About the card Silver gave me."

"Well, what bugs you about it?"

"I, I don't know. It just made me feel…weird."

"Weird how? I need details."

"Well, it's hard to explain. I mean, I've gotten to know him a little more recently, but I didn't know that he felt that way."

"What about him feeling that way bothers you?"

"I-I don't know."

"How does it feel?"

"It… It feels… Nice."

Suddenly she burst out, "Ha! I knew it."

"Knew what?" I said anxiously.

"You like Silver."

"What?" I quietly gasped before I yelled, "No I don't!" Blue looked at me with a skeptical, sly, "yeah right" smile, "I-I mean it. I don't. He's just. W-we're not compatible. I mean he-… He-he's cute and all but, no, wait, I mean. Well I kind of, I mean, not really, I…" She looked at me a bit more seriously in an "oh yeah?" kinda way, "… Yeah." I admitted. Not just to her but to myself.

"Was that so hard?" Blue asked.

"Kinda." I said disheartedly.

I didn't say anything else. It was a revelation, it was news to me. I'd always felt something was there, my heart, beating louder than normal but I didn't think I liked Silver. Besides, I really didn't know the feeling of having two crushes. Or maybe I just switched my crush to someone else, since Blue started going out with Red.

Blue sighed, then she stood up and put her hands on my shoulders, "Look, how about I talk to Silver for you?"

"Okay." I said quietly.

"I'm serious though, keep the outfit."

"Okay, sure." I said smiling, then I remembered how cold I was, "But I'm gonna put on some pants." I finished quickly heading back to the closet where I left my jeans and whatnot.

End Flashback

Silver's P.O.V.

I sat down to talk with her and get as much as I could cleared up, "Yellow?" She didn't move, "What are you?… What do you?…" I wasn't sure how to ask her about it.

"Silver." She started, I looked back at her, "What do you think of me?" She asked turning back to face me.

Yellow I…" I know, what she wanted to hear was that I felt the same way, and what she wanted me to say was the truth. So I gave it to her, "Yellow, from what Blue told me up 'til the time I've spent with you, you became one of the most kindhearted people I'd ever met. You're the most important person in my life. You weren't always but you became the most important. Because of you I found my father. You were there for me when no one said you had to be. Yellow…"

I didn't, I couldn't say anymore. She lifted her hand up to my face and did it again. She knew everything I could ever want to say to her, all my emotions, she knew I wasn't lying. Then she grabbed me and held on as tight as she could. All I could think to do was hug her back. Of course, that was last year.

"Silver?"

I was suddenly brought back to reality from my memories, "Hm?"

"You've been awfully quiet, is something bugging you?" Yellow asked me.

"No, I'm fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes Yellow, I'm fine."

Yellow suddenly smiled bashfully, "You can say that again." Then she put her hand up to her face and turned away real quick, you'd have to be blind not to see all that red on her face.

"Nice." I said calmly, "Did Blue tell you to say that?"

She shrugged her shoulders, which, if I know her body language right, means yes. We were at the beach, the sand was a moist, dark brown and we were alone on the stretch of sand. She was wearing her normal outfit, black shirt, Yellow tunic, and black pants but they were rolled up to her knees and she wasn't wearing boots. She walked up and hugged me. She turned out to be a huggy person, I know because I'd gotten to know her over the years. It fell silent for about six or so seconds.

"Silver."

"Yes?"

She looked up at me and withdrew her arms, blushing and smiling, "So does this mean we're boyfriend and girlfriend now?"

I thought about it for a second, I knew how she felt and we'd really gotten to know each other and grown close over the past year, "I… Well not quite yet."

"Yeah, you're probably right." She said, sitting down on the sand.

I sat down with her, "You're agreeing with me?"

"Well, I think we've come very far in the relationship, but we haven't really done anything… romantic."

"Do you hear the conversation we're having?" I asked, "How many people have this kind of relationship?"

"I know, but still." She said, then she laid her head on my shoulder, "We haven't even kissed yet."

"Well, I don't think we're that far along." I said.

She lifted her head and looked at me with relaxed half open eyes, "Don't you?"

Leave it to her. Always the one to make me rethink things about myself. All in all, I guess I like the relationship we have. It's turning out to be a nice Valentines Day.

The End
