Title is inspired by the Advanced Generation Opening! Guess who gets Part II? ;)
Queen of Hearts - Part I
Arceus knows, I love and miss my son so much.
Here I am, drinking tea and eating vegetable sticks with Spencer and Professor Oak while my baby is facing the dangers of the world.
He can be so much like his father, that boy.
Professor Oak tells me of Ash's latest achievements, and I know he keeps in touch with him and me, but it breaks my heart that he has to put himself at risk all the time. All I can do is to be there for him. I allowed him on his journey, all I can do now still, is hope, just like for his father, to return safely.
Speaking of fathers, Spencer is talking about Molly, and how proud he is of her achievements. It seems so long ago that a false Entei abducted me to be a substitute mother. It's ironic, really. Molly is now a trainer and a candidate Dex Holder by her own right. She wanted her father to come home and be by her side, and after a few years, some of them spent alone on her own journey, she keeps telling him to stop calling and worrying all the time because her "phone might explode."
Spencer and I are alike, I suppose. A parent who would always worry about their children just can't sit still. This tea does nothing to calm his or my nerves while Professor Oak just keeps talking.
"Delia."
I turn around and smile. I know that voice. "Excuse me, gentlemen, I have some visitors." Spencer just says, "By all means, invite them to tea, we have plenty here."
"Violet, Misty." I rush over to them and give them a big hug. It really isn't awkward, even though I know of Misty and my son's relationship break-up. He is in love with someone else after all; too bad, I wanted her as my daughter-in-law. If anything, their mutual break-up brought me closer to the Sensational Sisters and Misty.
"How's-"
Misty smiles back. "Fine."
"Who-"
"Lily and Daisy."
"When-" She looks to the side with an uncomfortably, obviously scared and filled with guilt. "I understand. Can I at least see you all together in Cerulean next week?"
She smiles, nodding. I smile back, but it's apologetic and sad, every time we meet. She knows I apologize on behalf of my son; and for myself because though I love her like a daughter, I support my son's choices and relationship with Yellow as well. Her smile falters as well, but she keeps it slightly, and I know she's saying that it's alright, she understands, there is someone who needs me more than her right now, and that I don't need to apologize; it was the way things are meant to be.
The next character character should be obvious.
