We turned around and look at the waist-high grass.
'What about wild Pokemon in there?' I asked Platina
'I say we sprint right through it until we get to Sandgem' Platina replied
Easier. Said. Than. Done.
We kept colliding with rookie trainers eager to battle, Pokemart assistants promoting the store and researchers doing whatever crap researchers do. By the time we reached Sandgem, it was past sunset. We were all totally pooped out.
'You can all bunk at my place' Diamond suggested
What about Mom? Meh, who cares? I love sleepovers! But I've got no PJ's...
'But we don't have anything to wear!' Platina and I simultaneously exclaimed
'You could borrow my sister's stuff' Diamond said
Diamond always has a solution.
'Woohoo, sleepover!' Platina and I screamed, dancing around Pearl and Diamond.
I tripped over Diamond's shoe and collided with Pearl, knocking us both to the ground. Somehow, his scarf snaked around my neck, so our faces were awfully close. Paralyzed with shock, we both remained frozen, staring into each other's eyes and blushing fiery red.
Platina coughed, bringing us back to reality. We broke away, still blushing.
'So, shall we go?' Pearl said, trying to keep casual.
We followed Diamond to a huge, modern house.
'Home Sweet Home' he sighed
We went in, using Diamond's spare key, and ran up the flight of stairs in front of us. Diamond showed us to his room.
It was amazing. A single waterbed lay in the corner, a 32-inch flat screen TV (with Sky+ HD) was mounted on the wall, an X-box Kinect on a shelf next to the TV, and many more possessions every 15 year old dreams of.
'Wow' I exhaled
'My parents and sister aren't home, so feel free to go wild,' Diamond said 'my sister's room is next door. Look through the drawers;you'll find something'
'I'll go get the PJ's' Platina offered
'I'll go get some snacks' Diamond said
That meant Pearl and I were alone. Together.
'So...'
'So...'
'Um, sorry about earlier?'
'Me too?'
'Pfft' I said 'this is ridiculous. It was an accident, so we shouldn't be so worked up about it'
'There are no accidents' Platina said
We both jumped.
'Sapphire, here's what your wearing' she said, handing me the skimpiest tank top and shorts I have ever seen.
'You're kidding'
'Nope, that's all there was' she showed me her PJ's. They were exactly the same as mine.
'Got the snacks!' Diamond said rushing into the room. He brought bowls of popcorn, crisps, haribos, melted chocolate and whipped cream.
'Looks like we're playing Truth or Dare tonight' Pearl said
'Woohoo!'
