A/N: Well I have now returned with my third installment of my work. Here Sabrina tires again to come out and a flashback reveals how the two first got together.

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon

In her room Sabrina was meditating. The psychic was levitating over the ground and trying to clear her head.

"Feeling any better?" asked Kadabra always upset to see his trainer feeling down.

"Not very much." answered Sabrina honestly.

"That's no good." sighed Kadabra.

"Unfortunately, you're correct." replied Sabrina.

"Maybe you should give yourself more time." suggested Kadabra.

"I've waited too long." replied Sabrina.

"Then let Erika be with you." replied Kadabra.

"I can't." said Sabrina dismissing any such notion.

"It's hard to believe it's been so long since you got together." said Kadabra.

"I know. Time had gone by." agreed Sabrina remembering back.


It was a warm spring day in Celadon City. People were outside and enjoying the nice weather. With Mother's Day soon arriving floral shops were thriving.

However, a certain girl had a different gift in mind. Sabrina walked down the sidewalk after having teleported to the city to get a gift suggested to her by Kadabra. She got stares and murmurs by people she passed which wasn't uncommon to her.

"This is it." said the psychic to herself as she arrived at her location and entered.

"Hello ma'am. Welcome to Nakagawa Sensations." greeted the chipper brunette female employee who only then noticed the woman, "You're Sabrina of Saffron City."

"I am." replied the gym leader as a voice came from the back.

"April, we're getting a bigger delivery order and I need you to help-" began Erika emerging from the back in a crimson red kimono, "Oh Sabrina. What a pleasant surprise."

"Same to you." replied Sabrina trying to keep her heart from beating out of her chest, "What is this feeling?"

"Ma'am, I'd love to help but, I was just helping Miss Sabrina." noted April.

"You go and I'll help her." replied Erika.

"Yes ma'am." said April who headed to the back leaving the girls alone.

"So Sabrina, what brings you to my little corner of the world?" asked Erika beaming a smile.

"Kadabra suggested I purchase perfume for a Mother's Day present." answered Sabrina trying to focus on why she had made her trek.

"What a wonderful idea! And perfect timing as well, we've recently come up with a new fragrance. Gloom and I put a lot of work into this!" said Erika happily.

Erika turned and quickly headed back impressive especially since she was wearing Geta sandals. She then emerged with a bottle of perfume and motioned for Sabrina to hold out her wrist. When the raven-haired girl did, Erika gave her a spritz of the new perfume which she then took a whiff of.

"That's...wonderful." said Sabrina surprised how intoxicating the fragrance was.

"Thank you so much." replied Erika bowing, "I'll let you buy this bottle. You'll be the first person in the world to have it."

"Thanks." said Sabrina who made the transaction.

"I hope your mother enjoys it!" called Erika as the psychic left.

Walking down the street, Sabrina felt dazed. She didn't know why but, after seeing Erika she felt overwhelmed and unable to focus.

"Cherry blossoms do have an enjoyable fragrance to them." said Sabrina softly as she walked down the street but, as the words left her lip she stopped in her place.

Sabrina held the bag in front of her and opened it. She then reached in and pulled out the perfume which was not cherry blossom scented. This caused a realization for the girl.

"The smell that intoxicated me wasn't the perfume. It was Erika." said Sabrina to herself.


It had been a few days and was now one day removed from Mother's Day. Sabrina was in the gym but, she couldn't focus on what was happening in front of her. She hadn't been able to shake Erika from her memories since their encounter days earlier. As she walked she almost missed the man bowing before her.

"I hope this is important." said Sabrina

"Ma'am, you have a visitor." replied the man.

"Who is it?" asked Sabrina.

"It's Erika Nakagawa, the gym leader from Celadon City." answered the man.

Sabrina felt her chest tighten at that statement. The psychic didn't know why but, for some reason she became tense and began to sweat.

"Okay then." replied Sabrina who headed to the door where the nature-loving princess waited.

"Hello Sabrina." said Erika warmly at the door.

"Hello Erika. I'm surprised you're here." said Sabrina desperately hiding her nervousness.

"Well I came to Saffron City to market my new perfume and I decided to visit you. I wanted to know what your mother though of your gift." replied Erika chipper.

"She loved it. I must really thank you." said Sabrina.

"I'm so glad I could help you." said Erika who suddenly hugged Sabrina.

"Really it wasn't a problem. I mean it." said Sabrina who felt herself get flush.

"I'd do the same anytime. Goodbye." replied Erika smiling before taking off.

"Bye." said Sabrina feeling a mixture of confusion and and ecstasy as she watched Erika leave.


Sabrina then returned to her room making it clear she wasn't to be disturbed. Upon arriving she locked the door threw herself on her bed.

"What is wrong with me? Why am I feeling this way? What's going on?" asked Sabrina aloud to nobody as Kadabra emerged from it's pokeball.

"I believe I have the answer." said the psychic Pokemon.

"Then tell me." said Sabrina.

"You're in love." replied Kadabra.

"I am not in love with Erika." said Sabrina dismissing any such notion.

"Well, it sure seems that way to me." said Kadabra.

"Then you're mistaken." replied Sabrina.

"It's fine if you are attracted to girls. It's natural." said Kadabra.

"I know but, I'm not attracted to girls." said Sabrina, "I've had attractions to men as well despite not being in a relationship. Thus, I am not a lesbian."

"Well, then maybe you're bisexual." proposed Kadabra.

"You might be." mumbled Sabrina emotions she had always kept suppressed, even after she broke her obsession with her powers, began to come forward, "You're right Kadabra. I'm bisexual."

"Well, I'm certain your parents will accept you-" began Kadabra.

"No. I'm not telling them. Not yet anyway. I...just can't." said Sabrina determined.

"I understand." replied Kadabra, "Now the focus should be asking Erika out."

"Now, how do I do that?" asked Sabrina.

"I find that, as cliche as it might sound, the direct approach is the best method." answered Kadabra.

"Right." replied Sabrina.


Sabrina then recalled Kadabra into his pokeball then teleported herself to the mall where the perfume promotion was being held. She felt awkward wandering around as she was not the type of girl who normally hung out at the mall. When she found the Macy's where the promotion was going on she entered wandering by girls, and some guys, too obsessed with the sale to notice her. Then, she noticed Erika by a display signing autographs for fans.

"Here goes nothing." said Sabrina nervously to herself as she walked up to Erika.

"Oh Sabrina, nice to see you again." said Erika warmly as she noticed the girl.

"It's only been a few minutes." noted Sabrina, "Anyway, I wanted to see how things were going. Apparently they're fine."

"Yes it's amazing." said the nature-loving princess, "Oh dear we're running low out here. I'll get more from the back."

"I'll help." replied Sabrina trying to come off as casual.

"That's so nice of you." said Erika who then led the psychic girl into the back where they were alone.

"You really brought a lot." remarked Sabrina seeing several crates of perfume still unopened.

"We were hoping this would stock the shelves but, it seems like we'll have to make more." replied Erika.

"That perfume is amazing so I'm not surprised." said Sabrina trying to figure out a way to bring up her feelings.

"I am so glad you liked." said Erika picking up a crate of perfume bottles.

"That was such a nice and caring thing for you to do." said Sabrina as she used her telekinesis to lift several crates of perfume bottles.

"You're powers are most helpful but, I cannot but feel there's another reason you came here." said Erika.

"Well I-" stammered Sabrina getting blush.

"If I didn't know better I'd think you might be coming on to me." continued Erika as she stood a foot away from Sabrina.

"Actually, I need to tell you-" began Sabrina before being interrupted by Erika's lips pressing against hers.

"I like you too." said Erika with a smile.


"It's really hard to believe such a long time as passed." sighed Kadabra as she noticed the thoughtful glare in Sabrina's eyes.

"Yeah." said the psychic distracted.

"Are you going to try again?" asked Kadabra.

"I have to. I owe it to Erika." answered Sabrina sitting up.

"I understand. Good luck." said Kadabra.


A nervous Sabrina walked down the hallway with purpose. She had butterflies in her stomach and her palms were sweaty but, she had to come out. There was no way she couldn't. When she found her father walking down the hall opposite her, Sabrina took a nervous gulp and approached him.

"Hello father, I need to speak to you." said the psychic girl.

"Sure honey." replied the man.

"I need to say something very personal." said Sabrina.

"It's no problem Sabrina." said her father.

"Actually it is, I'm not sure how you'll react." replied Sabrina her nerves showing through.

"It's not like there's anything that'll make me hate you." said her father.

"You might." said Sabrina getting cold feet quickly.

"Your mother and I forgave you for everything that happened with your powers; nothing will make us hate you." replied her father.

"That's true." mumbled Sabrina to herself feeling slightly more optimistic.

"Anything you need to tell us you can." restated her father.

"Okay, here I go." said Sabrina taking a deep breath, "What I need to tell you is-"

"Yes?" asked her father as the girl as simply stopped mid-sentence.

"The thing is-" said Sabrina not able to get the words out.

"Look honey, I need to go. You can tell me-" began her father as he started to walk away.

"No!" cried Sabrina unleashing a power burst of psychic energy that briefly cause the light to flicker on and off.

"Sabrina you need to control yourself." reprimanded her father, something he would have been too frightened to do at one point.

"I can't!" snapped the girl.

"You need to clam down, this is the second time you've done this." replied her father.

"I can tell him. I can tell him. I can tell him." said Sabrina to herself.

"You can talk when you're ready." said her father.

"The thing is, I am not really certain how you'll react to the news." explained Sabrina.

"Whatever it is, I can take it." said her father.

"I-" began Sabrina as just then a though passed into her head

"Whatever it is, I can take it." said her father.

"Dad, I'm bisexual and currently dating Erika Nakagawa of Celadon City." said the nervous girl.

"What! I won't have it! No daughter of mine will live such a perverse and unnatural lifestyle. I have no idea how you could have chosen that way to live! I have no daughter!" cried her father in rage.

"No." said Sabrina softly as she began to shake.

"Honey, what's wrong?" asked her father.

"Nothing. On second though, I'm will tell you later." answered Sabrina who ran off glad that imagine wasn't reality...for now.


The girl darted back to her bedroom and threw herself on her bed. Sabrina no longer resisted as tears flowed onto her pillow.

"It didn't go well." sighed Kadabra sadly.

"I actually didn't tell him. But, I thought of what might happen and the idea was too much." answered Sabrina.

"That sucks." said Haunter appearing out of nowhere and causing Kadabra to jump.

"Don't do that!" cried the psychic type.

"It's too easy. " replied Haunter who turned his attention back to Sabrina, "I know what to do."

"I'm not in the mood." said Sabrina sitting up.

Her response was ignored as Haunter produced a bomb on his stuck out tongue. It then exploded which caused Sabrina to begin laughing.

"Works. Every time." mused Haunter.

"Now we have to figure out what to do next." said Kadabra.

"I already know." replied Sabrina grabbing her cellphone.

"This is Erika." said the girl on the other end.

"Hello Erika." said Sabrina seriously as possible.

"What's going on?" asked Erika.

"I failed." answered Sabrina sadly.

"You need to be specific." replied Erika getting worried.

"I tried twice to come out to my parents and I failed both times. I'm sorry." said Sabrina.

"I'm glad that it's. I was really worried. It's okay Sabrina. Coming out is very difficult." said Erika softly.

"Thank you." replied Sabrina feeling much better.

"It's fine. Come over tomorrow and we'll talk about what to do." Love you." said the nature-loving princess.

"Love you to." said Sabrina.

A/N: We'll end chapter three there for now. I figured by this point Sabrina would have some grip on her emotions but, understanding them could be difficult since she suppressed them for so long. Next time, Sabrina and Erika meet to discuss the matter and a cameo is made by another character. Please review.
