They head out of town as quick as they can so they have as much daytime as they can so they might still can get married. They accidentally bump into Croconaw along they way which he replies with a frustrated tone, "Watch where you are going!"

Both of them snicker as they continue on, Croconaw isn't having any of that, "Oh yeah?!" He follows them and he used water gun on both of them, he laughs at them now. Cranidos gets up, "Very funny, Croconaw."

Croconaw snickers back, "So, where are you guys going?" Mawile replies with a smile as she dries off, "To my parents house, of course! I think it's time for them to meet my Cranny." Croconaw puts a claw to his chin, "So... might if I join in to give Cray support just in case he can't handle it?"

Cranidos shakes his head furiously, "No way! It's just only me, Mawile and her parents. Why do you have to be involved in this?" Mawile nods, "I agree. I just want to show my fiancé to my parents. Why do you even want to go with us?"

Croconaw crosses his arms, "No reason... but I won't interfer with anything." Cranidos stares at him, "Well... ok. But no funny business." Croconaw jokingly salutes, "You got it, captain!"

They continue onwards, Mawile's parents' town is so far away but they get there in time. Mawile shows Cranidos their house, "There they are. Let's go, Cranny!" Cranidos nods, "Alright. Stay right there, Croconaw."

Croconaw nods, "I'm just going to explore the town a bit, let me know if you need me." He walks away. Cranidos just stares at him, "He's strange." Mawile nods, "And if my parents find him, they'll tear him a new one. I've talked so much bad things about him. I admit that he has come through but my parents aren't so forgiving."

Cranidos nods, "You haven't talked bad about me to them, did you?" Mawile shakes her head, "No! Of course not! I know you aren't perfect but you try your best to make me happy and I appreciate it." Cranidos nods, "Ok."

Mawile knocks at the door of her parents house, "Mom, dad... it's me!" Cranidos hears their footsteps approach the door and he prepares for it... they open the door and they hug their daughter, "Mawile! It's great to see you, dear!" The dad exclaims with great happiness to see his daughter.

The mother looks at Cranidos, "Who's this, deary?" Mawile replies, "That's my fiancé, Cranidos!" The both of her parents look at him concernly. Cranidos feels worried of this, "What's wrong?" The two of them walks closer to Cranidos, "He's... adorable!"

Cranidos gets a shocked expression, "What?" Mawile asks them, "So do you like him?" The parents shouts out, "We love him!" The father begins to chomp on his tail and makes Cranidos yelp in pain, "Ow... ok, that hurts." The mother bites his head.

Mawile begins to scold her parents, "Mom... dad! Let my fiancé go!" They do... Cranidos rubs his sore tail and head, "Ow..." Mother Mawile apologizes, "Sorry... we just want to see if you are good enough to be with our daughter, and you pass!"

Cranidos frowns a bit, "Ok..." Mawile tries to comfort Cranidos, "Are you ok? Are you freaked out by my parents?" Cranidos shakes his head. Croconaw is hiding in the bushes snickering at this. The parents catches this instantly, "Who's snickering?!"

Cranidos facepalms, "He said he wouldn't interfere!" Mawile's dad opens the door, "Wait a second... it's that troublemaker ex of our daughter!" Croconaw tries to guard himself, "Wait! Don't rip the rest of my tail off!" Cranidos warns them, "We already tamed him!"

Croconaw crosses his arms, "Sure... you tamed me." Mawile nods, "He's not much of a jerk like he was! He in fact helped us on certain occasions." Croconaw nods, "Yeah! But I like playing harmless pranks."

The father replies, "Harmless pranks... that's what the bullies Mawile has come across said." Croconaw shows them his tail, "Look what your daughter did to my tail! I learned to forgive her for this so why not you forgive me."

The two shake their heads, "We do not forgive easily." Croconaw nods, "OK... noted. I'll just go, I don't mean any trouble." Mawile's mother shoos him away, "Just go." Croconaw dashes off.

The parents turn back to Cranidos and the father says, "When's the wedding?" Mawile climbs on Cranidos and replies happily, "Today if possible." The both of them gasp, "We must get everything we can ready! We'll do that while you two explore our town." Cranidos nods, "It's in your hands."

Cranidos and Mawile head outside and Mawile asks Cranidos sweetly, "So, what do you want to do first, Cranny-kun?" Cranidos thinks for a moment and replies, "I want to see if your old bullies are still here."

Mawile sweatdrops and says nervously, "W-why do you want to see them?" Cranidos puts a claw to his chest and says confidently, "I'll teach them a lesson that they'll never forget!"

Mawile laughs, "Oh, Cranidos... you're so funny!" Cranidos looks at her with a serious face, "I'm being for real." Mawile fake laughs and pats Cranidos' back.

Cranidos sees a tough looking Pokémon walk nearby, a Marowak. Cranidos points at him, "Is he a bully?" Mawile shakes her head, "No... huh? Wait... Marowak?!" Cranidos asks in a puzzled tone, "You know him?" Mawile nods, "My first boyfriend."

Cranidos crosses his arms, "Figures. Is he a jerk?" Mawile shakes her head, "Quite the opposite, he's a sweety pie, just like you. He just moved away." Marowak turns to Mawile, "Hey there!"

He runs to them, "Haven't seen you in ages! I can see you found a boyfriend already." Mawile climbs down from Cranidos and hugs Marowak, "I can't believe I recognized you from when you were a Cubone." Marowak nods, "I'm over the death of my mother now. You always did cheer me up back in the days."

Cranidos scratches his head, "So... how did you get lonely, Mawile?" Mawile replies, "This was way back when I was a little kid and hadn't started school yet." Cranidos taps his foot, "Yeah, we dinosaur Pokémon never went to school."

Marowak nods, "I can tell you take good care of her and not bully her. I'm surprised because other Cranidos usually don't get involved with intimate relationships." Mawile nods, "It took a while but I finally got him. We're getting married today so you should come."

Marowak twirls his bone, "Sure! You are such a lucky Pokémon, Cranidos." Mawile giggles, "He sure is! I'm lucky that I found him because I was thinking I was unlovable." Marowak sighs, "Well... I'm going down that road now. I haven't found a single girlfriend yet, I was hoping you were still single or something but I'm happy that you aren't nevertheless."

Mawile smiles at him, "Thank you! I hope you find someone." Marowak nods, "I'm not giving up either!" Cranidos looks at him, "You look pretty strong, why hasn't girls come onto you yet?" Marowak shrugs, "No clue. Hey! I got a cool idea! There's an event going on near here and Meloetta is going to sing. Do you want to come with?"

Mawile nods happily, "We would love to." Croconaw shouts out of nowhere, "Count me in!" Marowak turns and sees him, "Oh, I think I remember him. Is he still bothering you?" Mawile shrugs, "More or less, he mellowed out but he pretty much messes with us now. He's alright now."

Marowak shrugs back, "I suppose you can come with, it's not like you have to get tickets to go or anything. It's a free event so anyone is eligible to go... can't stop you." Croconaw cheers, "Yay! I hear that's Meloetta is so hot! I want to know if she's single." Cranidos facepalms while the rest of the Pokémon sweatdrops.

Mawile replies for Croconaw, "Well... maybe. But I think you might have to be sweet and enjoy music and singing." Croconaw puff up his chest proudly, "I'm sweet! I like music and singing!" Everyone else snickers, Croconaw sweatdrops and angrily says, "Ya'll guys think this is funny?! It's not! I'm being serious!"

Everyone busts out laughing, an angry nerve pops out of Croconaw like they do in Primeapes all the time, "Fine! I'll just go early and prove you guys wrong!" He storms away. Marowak scratches his skull with his bone, "What's up with that guy?"

Mawile and Cranidos shrugs, "He's been like that since ever." Mawile replies to Marowak with a smug smile. Marowak just nods in understandance, "We better follow him just in case he does something he might regret."

Cranidos and Mawile nods and follows Marowak as he takes off after Croconaw. They finally arrive at the concert that Meloetta setted up. It's a pretty huge stage with glittery decor and lights, it brings out the beauty of Meloetta's music.

Croconaw notices something he didn't like, "What's that bug doing up there with her." Marowak raises his bone in the air as her replies, "That's Kricketune! He helps Meloetta with her song. I think they make a pretty good team."

Croconaw gets furious, "I want to help her with her music! Why does that weak bug get to do it and not me! It's not fair!" Cranidos puts a claw on Croconaw's shoulder, "Dude... there are somethings in life that's just not fair and there are things that's near impossible to acheive and this is one of them because... you are way out of her league!"

Everyone bust out laughing and Cranidos joins in, Croconaw pushes Cranidos away, "That's it! I'll do something about it! I will!" He clenches his claws and runs off. Cranidos snickers, "For a second there... I thought he was going to attack me." Mawile tries to hold a giggle, "Cranidos... I think you should stop trying to make Croconaw mad before he gets you to a hospital."

Cranidos tries to hold in a snicker, "Yeah... and then our wedding would be delayed." Mawile chomps Cranidos after he said that and she says dryly, "Not funny, Cranidos."

Marowak shushes them, "Guys... I think it's starting." And when all the noise finally dies out, they can hear the most angellic voice coming out of the singing Pokémon. Her music isn't lyrical but they still are nice to hear. Cranidos feels really calm and says to himself, "So this is the singing that Torch was talking about."

Kricketune was there to have instrumentals into her songs, he could provide either a soothing violin sounding instrument or a gentle harp sounding one from his scythe looking arms. Luckily his weren't sharp weapons.

The three Pokémon stood about as they take in the wonderful music that resonating through the air and into their bodies. It makes them sway back in forth like a gentle breeze. Every Pokémon was doing this except for Croconaw... he is trying to sneak in to get to the backstage.

He noticed that there are two Machokes there guarding the backstage, typical! Croconaw just stood in front of them trying to look tough, "Let me in fellas." The two of them looked at him strangely, "Not gonna happen. Go back with the rest of the fans and enjoy the music. We don't want to kick you out." Croconaw crosses his arms and thinks a way to get in, "Hmm... what if I was an amazing singer?"

The two bodyguards raise an eyebrow, "Really? You don't look like you sing." Croconaw clears his throat and let out his singing voice, which was terrible. It sounded like screeching instead of singing. The two bodyguards covers their ears, "Dang! I never heard of a Pokémon that can sing this horribly!" The other one nods, "It's not just horrible! It's abysmal!"

Croconaw stops, "Oh." A unknown Pokémon replies, "Well... I think it's nice." Croconaw and the Machokes turn to see a Jigglypuff. The two Machoke instantly becomes frightened, "No! I know these guys reputation! Their singing puts you to sleep." The Jigglypuff puffs up angrily, "We do not! Our singing is beautiful! Watch!"

The Jigglypuff begins singing its trademark song, if you seen the show... you know which song I'm talking about. The two Machoke dazes off to sleep, which causes Jigglypuff to get very angry, "How rude! You fall asleep in the middle of my song!" Croconaw just stares at the passed out Machokes weirdly, "Err..."

Jigglypuff looks at Croconaw with admiration, "You didn't fall asleep! You must have liked it instead of going to sleep like those jerks." Croconaw sweatdrops, "Y-yeah." Jigglypuff cheers happily, "I finally found someone to share my singing to!" Croconaw sighs, "Ok." He then looks at the door that the Machokes were guarding, "Hey! Now's my chance to sneak backstage!"

Jigglypuff just shakes its head, "No! You must listen more to my songs." Croconaw replies, "I would but some other day, right now I'm busy trying to sneak back here." Jigglypuff ignores what Croconaw says and grabs his hand, "Come on!" It drags Croconaw away, "No! So close!"

In a forest somewhere, Jigglypuff makes Croconaw sit on a stump, "Ok! You go here and I will sing up here!" The Jigglypuff stand on top of a big rock that's bigger than the stump. Croconaw tries as nicely as he could to convince this Jigglypuff, "Err... miss? Are you a miss?" Jigglypuff nods, "Yep! It's pretty hard to notice since we all are pink."

Croconaw sighs with relief, "I would like to hear you sing but I was in the middle of something." Jigglypuff tilts her head slightly, "Like what?" Croconaw scratches his face, "Erm... trying to sneak in backstage." Jigglypuff shakes her head, "Why sneak backstage when you just hear my music in front row?"

Croconaw sweatdrops, "Err..." Croconaw gets nervous because he didn't want to hurt Jigglypuff's feelings when he goes to sleep, he was covering his hears during the first time she sang.

Jigglypuff clears her throat, "I'm ready to start. Are you ready to listen?" Croconaw swallows nervously and replies, "S-sure." Jigglypuff smiles greatly and begins to sing. Already Croconaw starts to feel drowsy which is not a good thing. Croconaw tries his best to stay awake for the whole song.

His head start going down and he tries to keep his head up, and his eyelids begin to get heavy. He then decided to remove his wooden tail and stabs him with it to get alert again, which it worked. He placed it back on and it only works for a little bit.

He begins to get sleepy again... he instantly gets another idea, he makes two small bubbles and puts them in his earholes, everything sounds like he's underwater which is good because now she sounds a bit distorted but he could still hear her but for some reason the sleep effect doesn't work anymore. Perfect!

After her song was over, Croconaw pops the bubbles in his hears and then he claps, "Bravo!" Jigglypuff starts to bounce around happily, "I'm grateful that you liked my song! You're the first to hear it completely!"

Croconaw nods, "Can I go now? I got very important things to do." Jigglypuff nods, "Yeah, you may go. Thanks for listening!" Croconaw salutes, "You're welcome!" He runs off in a hurry but when he got back the Machokes were already awake, "Going somewhere, little crocodile?"

Croconaw sighs, "Nevermind." He walks back to the crowd again and returns to his friends. When he got back the song already ended which irritated Croconaw even more. The Pokémon claps loudly and cheers for Meloetta.

Croconaw sadly walks away and for some reason Meloetta takes notice of this and flies towards Croconaw, "What's wrong? Don't you like my song?" Croconaw replies, "I loved it... but I just wanted to meet you and help you with your songs but... I'm a terrible singer!"

Meloetta puts her hands on her mouth, "Oh... well maybe if you practice more you will be great! Have someone teach you how to sing. I don't know about helping me but seeing my fans happy is helping me enough." Croconaw smiles, "Ok."

This causes Meloetta to smile back, "There you go! Now if there's nothing else you want then I'll take off." Croconaw thinks about a date but it was hard for him to say it so he replies with, "Nothing. I hope I see you again, though." Meloetta says, "You will... if you come to my concerts."

With that Meloetta was off. Cranidos goes up to Croconaw, "Well... I told you couldn't do it." Croconaw pushes Cranidos away, "Shut up!" With that Croconaw leaves the group and goes his own way. Cranidos scratches his head, "What's up with him?" Marowak shrugs, "I don't know. He's wierd."

Mawile changes the subject, "So... maybe my father set everything up now. Let's go see." With that, Cranidos and Mawile were off while Marowak goes his separate way.
