Title is inspired by a transliteration of a line from the Fushigi Yuugi opening theme. Yes, I used to watch it. It was so long ago. I have a steady schedule, by the way: when I feel like it, which is happening more often than I expected.
Smile and Say Hello
Men! You can't live with them, you can't live without them. If it isn't Vincent, it's Ethan; if it isn't Ethan, it's some other guy.
Damn it. That guy is so stupid, and a perverted flirty idiot. Why can't he be smart, like Tracey, or Professor Oak.
Oh, sweet Cresselia, why did I have to fall in love with a guy like Jimmy or Gold or Ethan or whatever-his-name-is? You'd think a girl would learn and get over it.

Well, maybe this is the way things are meant to be. I know I'm not the best trainer or Dex Holder in the world, but in the Pokémon lab, I'm at the top of my game. I still miss him though, and my days at the real field. Well, whatever; if that's the way things have to be, then-

Not that I wouldn't mind dating you or anything, wait, I mean I would love to date you, no wait, I mean you know…uhh… I…uh…Are you there?"
"A-ah…hello, Jimmy?" I feel the corners of my lips curve slightly upwards.
Review Please! I accept critiques and praises, I don't accept trolls.
