"Besides," I said as I flicked my badge.

"I'm a Pokémon Ranger."

After the interview had finished, I decided to treat the gang to a little something to say thanks. You know. For not killing me.

"Alright," I started. "Who's up for ice-cream?"

Everyone was thrilled, jumping up and down. Calming them down, I took them to the nearest van and placed an order for three one-of-everything sundaes. Honestly, they took more time thinking about it than actually eating it. When they finished, I decided to call it a day and book ourselves a hotel.

However, there was a problem. No hotel in our immediate vicinity had a shower tall or large enough for Kayla to wash herself. Rather pissed that I didn't take the offer when it came, I booked the largest room there was, and settled in for the night.

"$300 a night for this, huh?" I pondered. "Yeah, right."

The room was in no doubt large. It was almost empty. The only real items of real value were the bed, couch and TV. Unfortunately, the bed was a double, so two of us would be sleeping on the couch. To pass the time, I suggested I play some songs on my guitar. The others eagerly agreed, never hearing my singing voice.

After tuning my guitar for a few minutes, I finally found the right sequence, and started singing.

You wanna stay with me in the morning,

You only hold me when I sleep,

I was meant to tread the waters,

But now I've gotten in too deep,

For every piece of me that wants you,

Another piece fights away,

Because you give me something that makes me scared, alright,

This could be something, but I'm willing to give it a try,

Please give me something, because someday I might know, my heart.

You're only waiting up for hours,

Just to spend a little time alone with me,

And I can say I've never bought you flowers,

Because I can't work out what they mean,

I never thought that I'd love someone,

That was someone else's dream,

Because you give me something that makes me scared, alright,

This could be something, but I'm willing to give it a try,

Please give me something, because someday I might,

Girl, you found my heart, but it might be a second too late,

And the words that I could never say,

Are gonna come out anyway.

Because you give me something that makes me scared, alright,

This could be something, but I'm willing to give it a try,

Please give me something, because someday I might know, my heart.

When I finished, I was physically and emotionally drained, but I received a very large round of applause from the others, obviously very happy with my work. I continued playing songs from my life until midnight, when I started getting cramps on my fingers and my voice dried up.

"Alright." I explained. "Me and Myu will take the couches, and you two can take the bed, alright?"

They were fine with that, and soon, we fell asleep.
