Hey! Sorry for the delay between chapters; I've been having major computer issues. I even lost most of the plans I have for future fic T.T Oh well. I'm getting a new computer on my birthday, so that's when this'll be going up. On top of that, honestly, I've been dreading this chapter. When I was making this layout a few months ago, I just knew this one would be hard to write. Time to give it a shot. Hobby ho!

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon, their characters, or anything to do with them. I'm just borrowing… without permission… and I'll probably keep all the things I borrow for years before I stop writing… Don't you just love borrowing? Free balloon day for all!

*Ding-dong* the doorbell rang at seven thirty. Right on time.

"Green, can you get that?" Blue called up from the kitchen. "I'm not quite done Dinner!"

"Fine dear," Green struggled to answer for two reasons. The first was that he was just nearing the end of a struggle with an unruly tie he'd been asked to wear. The second was that he knew exactly who it was at the door. He finished up with the tie and headed downstairs, unlocking and opening the door as he reached the ground floor.

"Hello, Green," Silver greeted with combed hair and a nice shirt, trying to make a good impression. "May I come in?" he asked so politely he could not have come up with it himself.

Green glanced to the kitchen where Blue was. 'She gave him some tips,' he thought. "Yes, please come in." Green struggled not to grit his teeth, preferably around Silver's throat. "Dinner will be ready soon."

He led Silver into the dining room and offered him a seat on one side of the table, and once he was seated Green walked around to the opposing side. They were quiet as a standoff before the first shot is fired, Silver looking around somewhat awkwardly, and Green watching him hoping for any sign of guilt, or maybe in hopes of a confession.

"Okay, soup's ready!" Blue announced as she carried the bowls into the dining room, setting one in front of Silver, one in front of Green, and at her own spot next to Green. "So what are we talking about?"

Neither Green nor Silver said anything as they started on their soup. Green noticed Blue lean forward a little, then Silver jolt as if he'd been kicked kick hard in the leg. "Arrk- Um, so Green," he faked a smile, "how are things at the lab?"

"Fine," Green answered curtly, not letting the question alter his soup eating rhythm.

Blue looked at her brother as, prompting him to keep talking. "What have you been working on?"

"Just the usual research." Again, a quick answer inviting no further questions.

"What kind of research?"

"Nothing interesting."

Now Blue turned to Green and jab him with her elbow.

Green sighed quietly to himself. "How have you been, Silver?" thought for a second, then before the red haired boy could added, "Get a career yet or are you still robbing corner stores?"

"Green!" Blue burst out. "That is not an appropriate"-

"It's okay," Silver stopped her then turned to Green. "Actually, I had an interview with the Goldenrod police department a couple days ago."

"That's not called an interview," Green laughed, "it's an interrogation."

"… A job interview," Silver added, not the least bit amused.

"You know they check your past," Green warned, hardly able to stop himself giggling into his soup.

"Green that's enough," Blue told him firmly.

"Why are you so suspicious of me?" Silver put his fists down on the table.

"Why? Why am I so suspicious of a man- an ex criminal- spending every moment I'm not home with my wife, and then leaving as soon as I show up, or having lies told to me about it?" Greed stood up. "Well it seems perfectly damn reasonable to me! Maybe you're the one at fault here!"

"Or maybe you just can handle her caring about anyone other than you!" Silver got to his feet as well. "What will you do when the baby is born? Blame them for stealing her away from you too! Or if your sister ever finds a man, will you be like this with him?"

"I knew I shouldn't have served wine," Blue mumbled, clutching her hair.

Silver hit his fist against the table. "You're nothing but an angry, controlling, paranoid old man who would rather his family be locked up where only he can see them then trust them and let them be happy!"

"I'm protecting my family! But if you don't want me here," he turned to Blue, "and you don't want me here, then fine! I'm leaving!" Green left the table, grabbed his coat from the closet, and left slamming the door behind him.

Blue and Silver remained silent for a few moments as the house shook and glasses clinked from the force Green shut the door with, and they heard Green speed out of the driveway.

"Maybe we should stop seeing each other," Silver suggested once it was silent.

Blue reached across the table and grabbed Siler's hand. "He'll give up his suspicions eventually," she promised him, love in her eyes.

Dramatic enough? I hope so. And now for review replies:

-SS19: It's a little serious, but don't take it all too seriously :P

-MudkipCake: Heh heh heh. Final shippings are my little secret. Oh, and love your name XD

-PhaedraDarkstar: I always pictured Green as the type to get a little annoying.

-Thundercar1: Blue is mad at Green for it. Very mad. Sorry for more harassment on Silver in this chapter.

-SweetAngel192: We were just reviewing Hamlet, and I've already read that play enough to pick up on most things.

-franticfannatic: Didn't quite catch me. I was on my Mac so I switched screens fast. Unfortunately I switched to a video game… oops. I can't imagine sharing my fan fic with the class, yikes.

And so we go.
