Happy belated birthday Crys!

A/N: -Takes big breath-

Okay, so… I'm just, very very sorry about not getting Crystal's birthday chapter out on her birthday. As two people know, I generally type the chapters on the birthday. This time, it wasn't my WiFi that caused me issues.

So, I had some family and health issues. It was a pretty horrible time for me and yeah…. The fact remains that I am back, so shush. My life has just been very hectic and my brain keeps shooting down the fanfic ideas that I think. LIFE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And sorry if the characters are OOC. I haven't read Pokemon Adventures for a while.

Crys was always busy. To everybody, she was a workaholic. So, it was to nobody's surprise when they saw Crys working and working during the eve of her birthday.

Blue was the first to try and coax Crys out of her chair. "Come on~ There are sales on sooo many things! I know a good place where we could-"

"No thanks. I'm very busy." Crys did understand that Blue was trying to perk her up, but she was very busy.

Yellow tried to get Crys up as well. They chose her since Sapphire would probably just yank Crys rudely from her chair, and Platina wouldn't do anything to respect Crys.

"Crys, wouldn't you like to-"

"No."

Yellow just dropped the matter after that.

Crys looked up blearily from her desk, papers scattered askew.

What have I been doing? Crys wondered as she placed on her reading glasses. Why was this place a mess?

How long was I asleep?

She hastily pulled out her PokeGear and checked the date, sighing in relief as she saw that it was only the 30th. Crys thought she slept way longer than just 7 hours. Whatever. Crys went towards the PokeBalls that were in her pouch, only to find out that the pouch wasn't there.

What else would you do in her situation except panic?

It had been two hours and her patience was waning. Where were her Pokemon?

Especially Chumee. If anybody touched Chumee, Crystal would have their head served in a PokeBall.*

Crys just kept looking around, scanning every particle of grass, when she saw it. A PokeBall. And not just an ordinary pokeball, but one of her own. It had a star sticker on it. Crystal hurriedly shoved in her pocket and saw a path of Pokeballs leading along a grassy pathway.

Oh course this wasn't going to be easy, she sighed, but went forward.

Well, that was nearly all of the Pokeballs, and almost all of her Pokemon. Crys counted her Arcanine, Xatu, and other pokemon* she had captured. That should be all of them, except for….. Chumee.

Crud. Crystal really hoped that Chumee was further ahead on the path. Maybe her Pokeball just rolled away.

Speaking of away, where was everybody today? Crystal assumed that she would see Professor Oak, but he wasn't there. Same for Green, as he often helped out at the lab. Gold would have probably been flirting with someone and Silver would just be… wherever he went. Same for Blue.

There was always a question that she had for when she happened across this plain. Why was a random house here? She assumed that someone lived there, but Crys never saw anybody go in or come out. Yet of course that was where Chumee had probably rolled over to. Crys always analyzed these situations before going into them.

Or in this case, a house.

She knocked on the door, and when no noise came out, she shoved the door open. Strange, there were lots of boxes, and in the center was….

Chumee! (All the happiness people~)

The lights flickered on as everybody jumped out at her, except for Silver, Green, and a couple others. Of course, being her reflex, Crys kicked out and landed a solid on Gold's gut.

"Jeez, Super Serious Gal! Did not need to-"

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY CRYS!"

Wait…. What? Since when was it her birthday? Crys thought it was only her birthday on the 30th…. Oh derp. Well then, Crys didn't realized that she worked so hard that she forgot her own birthday. Her cheeks flushed as she realized that everybody else anticipated that she would forget this day. Blue would hold it as blackmail for a long time, that was guaranteed. But for now, Crys could enjoy the peace and calm which was her birthday party.

They played games which Crys was really good at, like soccer*. The cake was in the shape of a Pokeball, and her gifts were wrapped to look like Pokeballs.

"It was Gold's idea," Blue gesturing towards the mentioned boy.

For once, Gold had a good idea. Blue was sure Crys was surprised. Normally others came up with the ingenious ideas.

….

Crys felt all the happiness. She had gotten so many gifts, ranging from special types of PokeBalls (from Platina) to lots of jewelry (obviously Blue). And the games were great; nobody complained when Crys accidently hit them with a ball that she kicked too hard.

But the fact that she forgot her own birthday was embarrassing.

She could only hope that Blue hadn't told her mom about it.

AN again: Yeah, this really short. Thanks you all for reading and critiquing this story. To be honest, some of these mess ups are embarrassing, but hey! Everybody makes mistakes.

So, I'm really busy with graduating from middle school and my teachers are spamming tests and projects. Aughh!

So, reading people's reviews or seeing people follow it makes me a happy person!

*It sounded painful

*Well, she has a lot of Pokemon, if you haven't seen in the manga.

*She can kick things, nuff said.

Sorry about the shortness, but ideas have flooded my brain and I gots to get Emerald chapter out on time.

So, adios people! I love you all. Tell me what you liked, disliked, and all that jazz.
