When I woke up I opened my eyes to see Nuzleaf's face a few inches away from my own. His eyes were closed and his lips were quickly moving towards mine. I used my hand to block his kiss. What the heck was that? Why would he try to kiss me while I was asleep? I screamed, causing Tykan to wake up.

"What's wrong?" He asked. Nuzleaf jumped backwards, trying to hide the fact that he tried to kiss me while I was sleeping. What kind of jerk does that?

"Nuzleaf tried to kiss me while I was sleeping!"

"Get out!" Tykan yelled at Nuzleaf, who ran away quickly.

"Gosh. What kind of jerk tries to kiss you while you sleep?"

"You see why I left? Who would want to live with a jerk like him?"

"I though you said you were kicked out."

"I'd like to pretend that I left on purpose. Hey can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"What Headphones said yesterday. About you trying to tell me you weren't interested in me without making me leave, was he right?"

"I only think of you as a friend, not a future boyfriend."

"But why did you tell me to stay, if you only like me as a friend, even though I was annoying you?"

"I...I," I started crying while I was trying to speak "Y-you're all I have left." I started crying after talking, finding it almost hard to take a breath. I realized that I seemed pretty pathetic. What the heck could a guy like Tykan see in me? Maybe he's just desperate. That would make sense. How could anyone love someone like me? My friends must have seen how pathetic I am, that's why my friends left me. "I-I need to be alone for a bit." I said, running out of the cave into the forest. I ran for a few minutes, trying to get as far away from Tykan as I could before I started crying even more intensely. I finally stopped running and fell to the ground. Crying even more intensely than ever and finding it even harder to breath. I took deep loud breaths when I could. They made a high pitched sound. I am truly pathetic.

"You seem like a girl who needs a date." A voice from nowhere said.

"Go away Tykan, I'll be back in a hour or so."

"Who's Tykan? Oh that's right you can't see me." A female Zorua jumped from a tree and landed next to me. "Sorry, let me introduce myself. My name is Christine. I need another girl for a double-date tonight, and I was thinking that that might get your mind of things. Do you want to? The guy is really cool."

"I-I don't know." I was finally regaining my breath and my crying was slowing down. Why was I so upset in the first place? Oh yeah, Tykan's all I have left. Truly something to cry about. Well actually he isn't that bad. Maybe asking him out would be a good idea. What am I thinking? I don't want to go out with him, do I?

"Please, you have to understand, the guy I like only goes on double-dates and I promised him I would find a nice girl to date his friend. It's not permanent or anything, it's just one night. You won't even be boyfriend and girlfriend, you'll just be there hanging out with a really cool guy so that my boyfriend doesn't get nervous. Please. He means so much to me. I would look so pathetic if I let him down now. Maybe I am pathetic. Planning on finding a girl to join the double-date last minute, what are the chances of that?" Pathetic. There was that word again. I don't want anyone to feel as pathetic as I do. This seemed like a way to build Christine's confidence. Who knows, it might me fun.

"Sure that would be great."

"Can you meet me back here just before sunset for the date? Oh wait, before you go what's your name?"

" I'm Amber. See you just before sunset." I walked away much more happy than I was before I talked to Christine. She said he was a really cool guy, this could be fun. I walked back into the cave where Tykan and I lived. He was pacing back and forth nervously.

"Hi," I said smiling at him. I guess I was pretty happy.

"Wow. You seem pretty happy."

"Yeah. And I have good news for you."

"Yeah?"

"I'll be here with you until a bit before sunset."

"You have plans at sunset?"

"Yeah."

"Can I ask what they are?"

"I'm, uh," I needed to figure out how to tell the truth without telling him I'm going on a date. He would be so upset. "I'm helping a couple out."

"Cool." Tykan and I kept talking until a half hour before sunset, when I started getting ready for the date. I made my breath smell nice with some mints (the plants) and relaxed myself. "I guess you really want to make a good impression on someone. Have fun." Tykan smiled at me.

"Thanks," I said. I walked over to where Christine told me to meet her. I Ended up finding the place perfectly on time. I saw Christine with another zorua and Headphones, who was still wearing his stupid Headphones. Please someone tell me Headphones isn't my date. The zorua looks okay, but I really don't want to go on a date with Headphones Christine walked over to me excitedly.

"Great, you made it. This is my date, his name is Mika," she said gesturing to the zorua "And the pichu is your date. His name is Headphones." She gestured towards Headphones. Great. What else could go wrong?
