Red led Yellow up and down several flights of stairs and down six or seven hallways. Yellow struggled to keep up with Red, who was ploughing through the school.

"Umm... Red?" Yellow said as she walked level with him, "We're not lost are we?"

Red looked at her, wounded. "Are you questioning my navigation skills?" he asked her.

Yellow hastily shook her head. "N-no, of course not! It's just that it feels like we've been going circles."
"You have." said a voice in the distance.

Red and Yellow turned to see Green come around the corner.

"If you're looking for the girls' dormitory, you passed it several times already." he said smugly.

Yellow noticed a glint in Red's eyes as Green said that, and she could sense a quarrel coming.

"And how exactly would you know what we're looking for?" he challenged, stepping forward to face Green.

Green's smug grin grew, and he gladly began to point out his rival's mistake.

"You're the one in charge of making sure Yellow knows where to go. And now that school's out, the only place left is the dormitory, isn't it?"

Red clenched his fists. "Then what are you doing here?"

"I just figured you might need help." he said, and turned to leave."Just so you know, it's right behind you."

Red gritted his teeth, and started to charge at him. Suddenly, a hand gripped his back collar, holding him back. Red turned his head and saw Blue holding onto his shirt.

"Now now, Red, no fighting in the hallways." she teased. Red scowled and crossed his arms, muttering darkly to himself. The words "Green" and "bury" were caught.

"Now that that's all taken care of, you can go now Red. I'll take over from here." Blue said. Red opened his mouth to protest, then shrugged and disappeared behind the hallway.

Blue led Yellow through the large double-doors that marked the entrance the the girls' dormitory. Past it was a large circular room with a domed ceiling. On it was a mural of the legendary Pokemon Ho-oh, restoring life to the fallen at the Burned Tower. Surrounding the room were twelve doors, each with a number on it. Only twelve? thought Yellow as she thought back to the size of the school. Blue noticed the look in her face and nodded

"I know what you're thinking," she said calmly, " Don't worry, this isn't the only dorm in the school."

Yellow looked at Blue quizzically, " Then how come Red and I never ran into any others?"

"There's only one dorm for each tower." Blue replied

"What towers?" Yellow asked. Blue waved the question away.

" I'll explain later. Now come on, I'll introduce you to some of my friends." she grabbed Yellow's hand and pulled her towards two girls that were sitting down in the center of the room. As she got closer, she noticed that all of the girls were sitting in distinct groups. Each group was doing something different from the others. Some were writing, others were showing off their pokemon, and the rest were simply talking.

Blue sat her down at her group and Yellow looked at each of them. The first girl had jet black hair in pigtails. She was wearing a white half-shirt over a bright orange tank top and yellow bicycle shorts. The other girl had unruly brown hair wrapped with a green scarf. She was wearing a sleeveless red shirt and black shorts.

"So, how are ya doin' so far Yellow?" the brunette asked her.

Yellow had lost track of the conversation and just stared blankly. The brunette rolled her eyes.

"Ok, let's start over," she grabbed Yellow's hand and shook it, " I'm Sapphire, nice to meet ya."

Yellow nodded, "I'm Yellow, nice to meet you too."

The other girl held out her hand, "I'm Crystal." she said. Yellow nodded and shook her hand. Then, Blue clapped her hands

"Great, now that we all know each other, let's show Yellow her dorm room." She pulled Yellow to her feet and led her to room three. Inside were two beds. One of them was littered with random objects. The other bed was completely empty. Blue gestured to the empty bed.

"Here we are, home sweet home." She looked at Yellow expectantly, "Well, what do you think?"

Yellow thought back to everything she had experienced so far, all of the memories that she had gained in the short time she had been here. She remembered Misty and a sense of dread came over her. Then, she thought about Red, and her heart felt at ease. She thought about all the new memories that she could find here. Yellow looked at Blue and smiled

"I love it."

Yellow stared down at the school garden. Once again, she found herself unable to sleep. It was four months since Yellow first stepped into the school. Her initial infatuation with Red had died down somewhat, although her heart still beat faster whenever he was near. Her new friends constantly keeping her company. Sapphire was an aggressive battle maniac, while Crystal was a studious bookworm who had an affinity for catching pokemon.

Yellow wasn't exactly sure why she couldn't sleep today, but whenever she tried, she found herself staring at the ceiling for hours. She knew that tomorrow was the winter festival, Blue had told her as much. However, that was all Yellow knew. Blue didn't go into further detail about the event, and Yellow never bothered to find out.

"Can't sleep either?" said a voice behind her. Yellow quickly turned around and found Red standing there.

"Red? What are you doing here?" she asked.

"Same as you, couldn't sleep." he replied. He stepped forward and stood next to Yellow.

"What is the winter festival?" Yellow asked suddenly. She didn't know why she said it, but she wanted to know.

"The winter festival?" Red thought about it for a moment, "I heard that it was meant to commemorate the coming of the great ice pokemon Articuno, as it brings down a huge snowstorm that covers the entire region."
Yellow looked at him skeptically, "But it isn't even snowing." she pointed out. Red shook his head.

"That's the strange thing. On the day of winter, all of the snow appears at once. And when spring comes, the snow disappears as quickly as it came."

"That's amazing!" Yellow exclaimed, "How is it possible for one pokemon to do all of that?"

"I don't know," Red replied, and began to walk away, "But you should probably dress warm tomorrow." With that, he disappeared into the hallway.

Hope You Liked that chapter. Sorry if it was a little short, but the next one will be a lot longer, I promise. The next update might take a while though, as I won't be able to start writing again until Christmas. Bye!
