A/N: You thought you were lucky, seeing a third chapter! Nope, it's just a "2.5" chapter, if you will. This was going to be the third Chapter then I realized it was written more as filler, but whatever.
Enjoy your extra .5 short chapter!
"Ness, that was the craziest, stupidest idea you've ever had."
It seemed like the fifth time Ninten had said that in the last minute while they were walking home, but it didn't seem that Ness got the point yet. Using PSI in front of others... it was plain lucky that red-head had it too.
"I wasn't about to let someone die," Ness rebuked, glaring over at Ninten. "They probably would've found out sooner or later. If those creatures are really coming to attack them, anyways."
"I still don't see why you care so much about them," Ninten muttered, crossing his arms. Ness looked at the ground.
"Well... It must be a hard life for them. It would be selfish to just leave them there, wouldn't it?"
Ninten sighed. "Sometimes, I'm convinced too much kindness is a bad thing for you." Ness just rolled his eyes.
"And *you're* insensitive."
"That's not-"
"See what I mean? It's just the situation. I only seem too kind."
"So you're really not."
"I- Ugh, I didn't mean it like *that!"*
Ninten laughed, shoving the flustered Ness on the shoulder. "It doesn't really matter, anyways." He rolled his eyes in a light-hearted manner. His voice then returned to it's serious tone. "It was just super risky to use PSI, though. Just sayin'."
"Like I said, I wasn't going to let them die." Ness' face darkened. "I wonder why those things are coming, though. I've never had to use my PSI for... that..."
"Be happy you have offensive PSI. I can't do anything." Ninten scowled. Of course, he was the one with offensive tendencies — or so he was told — yet all he could do was support people. Ness was the kindest person he knew yet he had attack PSI. It just didn't seem right.
Then again, maybe it refrained him from blowing up and hurting people. Or something like that. Who knew.
"So... What even was that 'PK Rockin'' thing?" Ninten questioned, hopefully taking them off that overused topic. No matter what offensive PSI Ness had, "PK Rockin'" was one he had never used before: out of the few times he had used PSI, of course. Having PSI was a secret that needed to be kept, as no one else even knew it existed, and no one else needed to know.
"I... honestly don't know," Ness admitted, staring at the ground again. Now Ninten knew something was seriously up; Ness was never this uncertain. "It just came to my head when that thing attacked..."
"So does all PSI, to be honest," Ninten stated bluntly.
"Yeah, but this felt more powerful than normal PSI... I'm crazy, aren't I?"
"Gosh, no. Having more PSI doesn't make you any crazier than you already are."
"Gee, thanks." Ness said it with sarcasm, yet he was smiling. "I'm making this too big of a deal, aren't I?"
"Yes, you are. You just got new PSI. Hurrayyyy. That's all there is to it, Ness."
A split second of silence interrupted their conversation before Ness nodded. "You're right."
"Never thought I'd hear those words spoken to me." Ninten grinned.
"Oh, whatever Ninten." Ness rolled his eyes. "I bet you've heard that plenty of times."
"You'd be surprised. I suck at school."
"Well, we're not in school."
"Point?"
"Since when were you so negative, Ninten?"
"I'm just a realist." Ninten shoved Ness lightheartedly. "Anyways, I have to go before everyone in my house freaks. Let's solve all these problems tomorrow, okay? My brain might fry soon."
"Okay. Bye."
And then they parted ways, walking away from each other. It was always a little bit lonely going back home, but Ninten didn't let it bother him.
After all, they had mysteries to solve in the nest day.
