Having Gold fall asleep on his shoulder was odd but Silver really didn't mind at all. It gave him an excuse to not do anything. After all, who'd want to disturb a sleeping boy? Silver watched Gold as he slept on his shoulder but after half an hour he started to become sore. Silver carefully moved Gold from his shoulder to his lap. Gold didn't wake up at all. Silver sighed as he began to stroke Gold's hair. The raven haired male looked so peaceful when he slept and looked so vulnerable. It wasn't until hours later that Gold woke up.
"Silver... Silver... Wake up Silver." Gold whispered. Silver stirred slightly and opened his eyes. He didn't remember falling asleep. "Mhm... Gold...? What time is it?" Silver asked as he rubbed his eyes. It seemed pretty dark in the room even with the lights on. "I think it's around 1am." Gold replied as he put on his sweater. "...Where are you going? We're not supposed to be outside this late." Silver said with a frown. "It's not late, it's early. I promised that I'd meet someone." Gold replied. "I won't let you go!" Silver shouted. "Shh. Keep your voice down. We had a dorm minder check up on us about five minutes ago. No need to draw their attentions." Gold stated. "A dorm minder? For us? But we're the only two here." Silver mumbled. "Exactly. It's weird. But anyways... I have to go meet someone. I'll be back before they check up on us again. Which will be around 4am." Gold said as he headed to the door. "Wait. I'm not letting you go alone." Silver said as he threw on his jacket.

It was cold outside but not too cold. The sky was covered with stars and the moon shone brightly. "Who are you meeting?" Silver asked in a whisper. "An old friend. Don't worry. He's really friendly." Gold said as he pulled Silver along. Silver was very interested now. The fact that Gold wasn't whispering made him feel... Excited. The thoughts of getting caught were no longer in his head. Gold had said that he'd done this before. "How far do we have to go?" Silver asked. "Not much farther. Since getting moved to this dorm we're so much closer." Gold replied with a smile. Silver was more curious than afraid.

By the time they had arrived at the place Silver and Gold had taken off their extra layers they had put on. Silver looked around for any sign of the one Gold said he was supposed to meet. Suddenly there was the sound of branches snapping. "Gold I think we should leave. it sounds like they're a beast coming towards us." Silver whispered as he tugged on Gold's shirt. "Naw, don't worry Silver. That's my friend. It means Exbo is coming." Gold said calmly. Exbo was such a strange name in Silver's mind, he could understand why someone would name their child that. "How old is Exbo?" Silver asked curiously. "Um maybe 40-ish? I don't remember." "Forty?! Are you insane! That means Exbo is so much older than us!" "Naw. Don't worry. I told you already... Exbo's an old friend of mine."
Silver was utterly surprised when a Typhlosion popped his head out of the bush. Gold had quickly introduced Exbo to the other. "Exbo's... A Pokémon?" Silver asked with a confused look on his face. "Yep! He's my old partner. I had him since I was a baby. Mum and Dad gave him to me as an egg and I hatched him myself!" Gold exclaimed happily. He wore a proud look on his face, as if hatching an egg as a baby was the most coolest thing in the world. "That's... Interesting..." Silver mumbled. "Exbo's here to help us." Gold said as he petted the Typhlosion's head. "Help us? With what?" Silver asked. None of this made any sense to him. "You're the Storyteller and I'm the Guide... Exbo is the Protector. We're here to stop the Headmaster. And we need your help." Gold said happily. Now Gold had to pulling Silver's leg. "...You're kidding, right?" Silver asked as he rubbed his temple. "No we're not. We are here to... Oh wait... The time. Silver we have to help back!" Gold shouted as he pulled Silver around. The Typhlosion followed them. "Wait! What?! What is going on?!" Silver shouted. His head was spinning now. "There's no time to explain! But all will be revealed in all due time!"
