Greetins readers! I decided to work almost all night and day to get you guys one more chapter really quick. Here it is and this time I would like to get at least four reviews before I post another chapter. Anyways here's the chapter. Enjoy and don't forget to review for me.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything from the Pokemon franchise, but I adore the people who do own it.


Keith and Kellyn continued to hurry to find Kate. "She must have gone past the gates." Kellyn said, which Keith immediately hurried for the gates.

"Hey Tangrowth. I brought you some treats." Kate said as the vine pokemon stayed inside the tree. "Buddy I'm not mad at you if that's why you're staying in the trees." Kate said before starting to walk over towards the pokemon. She set the treats she had for him down on the ground a bit away from the trees.

"Kate get away from Tangrowth!" Keith barked as he caught sight of her, and the vine pokemon.

"Huh?" Kate turned to see Keith and Kellyn, but she then felt Tangrowth wrap a vine around her waist.

"Tangrowth." Tangrowth bellowed as he picked up the ranger-in-training.

Keith didn't even hesitate before he shot his capture disc at the vine pokemon. "Guys leave him alone! He's fine!" Kate barked at Keith and Kellyn, who had joined in the capture now.

"Tangrowth! Tang tang!" Tangrowth roared out as he began to use Natural gift again, and aimed it towards Keith and Kellyn.

"Tangrowth don't. Buddy they're my friends." Kate said as the pokemon pulled her towards it body. She patted it's hand that was still trying to start off Natural gift.

"Kate he's not your little friendly partner anymore!" Kellyn snapped at the brunette as he continued trying to catch the Tangrowth.

"Yes he is! He was fine until you two idiots showed up so leave!" Kate yelled at the two as Tangrowth stopped trying to use it's Natural gift. "Here buddy." Kate said as she pulled out a berry for the vine pokemon.

"Kate will you just grow up and realize that he's not a friendly little pokemon anymore! He tried to attack you last time and if it weren't for me pushing you out of the way, who knows how strong the attack would have been!" Keith snarled at Kate as he stopped the capture short.

"He was just trying to protect me from an annoying, insensitive jerk!" Kate barked as Tangrowth pulled her closer to it's body, holding her protectively now.

"Kate will you stop fighting us! Tangrowth is dangerous." Kellyn said, not stopping his capture for even a second.

"Tangrowth!" Tangrowth bellowed before whipping a vine towards the two males.

"Tangrowth don't!" Kate said as she turned to face him, noticing the protective instincts in his eyes. "Buddy I know you love me, but you're being a little too overprotective now." Kate said soothingly to the vine pokemon.

"Tangrowth. Tang tang." Tangrowth said sadly before setting Kate back down on the ground.

"It's alright buddy. I know you didn't mean to be so overprotective." Kate said as she patted the Tangrowth's hand. "Why don't you take those treats and go see your friends Tangrowth. I'll come see you again tomorrow." Kate said sweetly before Tangrowth snatched her up in his arms.

"Tang tang tang!" Tangrowth bellowed happily.

"I love you too buddy. Go see your friends." Kate said with a chuckle before Tangrowth set her back down.

Kellyn stopped his capture short as well now, knowing that Tangrowth wasn't dangerous anymore. "Maybe we should get back to the school now." Kellyn suggested, which broke Kate from her happy moment with the vine pokemon.

"Fine. I'll see you tomorrow Tangrowth." Kate said before the pokemon went stomping off happily.

Keith had gone silent now, annoyed by the Tangrowth's protectiveness towards Kate. "Let's go guys." Kellyn said before starting back towards the gates.

Kate noticed Keith's silence right away. "Why did you guys come after me?" Kate questioned the two males.

"Because we knew what Tangrowth did last time and we wanted to make sure he didn't attack again." Kellyn explained to the brunette.

"I would have been fine either way. I can handle Tangrowth." Kate stated as they walked past the gates.

"That's why I had to push you out of the way of his attack last time, getting myself injured instead." Keith snarled, still obviously annoyed.

"Alright what is your problem Keith? You've been ignoring me today, and now you're being a jerk to me." Kate said as the three continued towards the front door of the school.

"Right now, you are. After all, I'm apparently an annoying, insensitive jerk." Keith barked before hurrying his step.

Kate groaned. "Alright I'm sorry okay? I shouldn't have said that." Kate said as she hurried her own step to catch up to Keith.

"You know, I'm beginning to wonder why we're friends when you think I'm such an annoyance. Maybe we just shouldn't be friends anymore, then you won't have to worry about that." Keith said as the three entered the building.

Kate's anger faded at the comment. "Fine. Then we aren't friends anymore I guess." Kate said before she ran over to the stairs and up to the lounge.

"Dude! Why the hell would you do that?" Kellyn shouted at the red-head.

"She doesn't like me at all so why even bother!" Keith barked back at Kellyn before starting to head for the stairs to go up to the boys dorm.

"Well I hope you're happy then dude! You just lost your chance of ever getting Kate to like you, and you lost your best friend." Kellyn snapped at Keith before the red-head went up the stairs.

Keith went to the boys dorm quickly and laid down. Kate, on the other hand, was in her dorm throwing herself into her homework. "Kate, tell me what happened." Rythmi said as Kate continued working.

"Just leave me alone Ryth." Kate said as she picked up a book and buried her face in it to read.

"What did Keith do something again? What happened?" Rythmi questioned as she tried to pry the book from Kate's hands.

"It's none of your business so just leave me alone!" Kate snapped angrily before going back to her work.

Rythmi went out into the lounge to see Kellyn sitting on the couch. "Kellyn what happened?" Rythmi asked as she walked over to the brunette male.

"Keith snapped at Kate and told her they aren't friends anymore. He said he's not even going to bother anymore because Kate doesn't like him." Kellyn explained quickly to Rythmi as he leaned back into the couch more.

"I'm going to kill him! Get him out here or I'll pull him out of that stupid dorm myself." Rythmi hissed, furious with the red-head now.

Kate had stopped working and now left the dorm, ignoring Rythmi and Kellyn as she headed for the stairs. She hurried down the stairs and outside to Ascension Square to try and get some alone time. Once she knew she was alone, she let the tears flow silently down her face.

"Keith, Rythmi wants you to come out into the lounge." Kellyn informed the red-head, who was still just laying in his bed in the dorm.

"Too bad I'm not moving." Keith said, the sadness obvious in his tone, as he rolled over so he was facing away from Kellyn.

"Dude, Rythmi told me Kate threw herself into her homework. Don't you want to pull her away from her homework?" Kellyn questioned the prankster.

"We're not friends anymore so I'm not doing that." Keith said as he continued facing away from Kellyn.

"Rythmi said that if you don't come out, she'll pull you out of the dorm herself." Kellyn stated as he sat down on his own bed.

"Let her. I don't really care." Keith answered simply to the statement.

Kellyn sighed and got up to leave the dorm. He went out and told Rythmi but she didn't try and go and pull Keith from the dorm. "We need to try and do something." Rythmi said as she leaned back in the couch.

"I don't even know what to do Ryth. Keith looks depressed, Kate's buried in her work. What is there to do." Kellyn said simply before Rythmi got up from the couch and started for the girls dorm.

"Well we've got less than two weeks Kellyn. Then the graduation prom is going to happen and we'll lose any future chances." Rythmi said before going into the dorm. She then realized Kate was gone and quickly went back out to Kellyn. "Kate's gone." Rythmi said to the brunette male.

"Should we go look for her?" Kellyn asked as Rythmi went and sat back down on the couch.

"I don't even know where to look Kellyn. She'll be back soon hopefully." Rythmi said as she laid her head on the back of the couch.

Kate was laying out beside the Pledge stone and stayed like that for hours, not wanting to go back to the school building. She finally realized it was time to go back in when the sun began to set. She hurried inside and got dinner before going back to her dorm. "Where were you?" Rythmi questioned the brunette.

"Ascension square." Kate answered simply before laying down on her bed.

"Why were you down there for so long?" Rythmi asked as she noticed the depressed attitude of her friend.

"I don't know." Kate said before closing her eyes to try and sleep.

Rythmi sighed before laying down in her own bed to try and sleep as well.

A week later

Keith and Kate had been avoiding talking to each other everyday since the fight now and didn't want to even see each other. Kellyn and Rythmi had been trying to get them to talk, but nothing was working. "Good morning class." Ms. April greeted as she walked into the classroom. She then noticed a certain brunette was not in her seat. "Where is Kate?" Ms. April questioned the class.

"She said she wasn't feeling too well Ms. April. She's still in bed." Rythmi informed the teacher, though she knew Kate was just faking sick.

"Oh. I'm sorry to hear that. Anyways class..." Keith tuned out Ms. April's lecturing easily as he laid his head down on his desk. His mind was more on the absence of the girl who usually wouldn't want to miss even one second of class.

"I miss her so much." Keith thought sadly. "Maybe I should just apologize and hope she forgives me." Keith thought as he looked towards Kate's empty seat.

"Keith pick your head up." Ms. April scolded the depressed red-head.

"Sorry." Keith said simply as he picked his head up off the desk. The rest of class just seemed to drag on until it was time for them to take their break.

"Alright class. We're in the library when class starts again so please remember to go there." Ms. April informed the class before everyone left.

"You seem tired today." Kellyn said as he caught up to Keith outside of the classroom.

"Yeah I guess." Keith said with a yawn. "I'm going up to the lounge to lay down for a bit." Keith said before walking away and towards the stairs to head upstairs. He hurried up the stairs but noticed Kate wasn't out in the lounge.

"What's Keith doing?" Rythmi questioned her boyfriend as she walked out of the classroom.

"Going upstairs to lay down is what he told me. He seemed really tired though so he probably will fall asleep and not make it to the library." Kellyn said with a chuckle before Rythmi started to head for the library herself.

"I'm going to the library now then." Rythmi said before Kellyn began to follow after her.

Keith knocked lightly on the girls dorm door, hoping Kate would be the one to answer and not one of the girls that was so obsessed with him still.

Kate heard the knock at the door, but she didn't get out of bed. She was the only one in the dorm at the moment. She didn't feel like getting up to answer the door.

Keith tried knocking again before he opened the door just a crack to see if Kate was just sleeping. He noticed she was just laying in bed but he couldn't tell if she was asleep or not. He slowly crept into the room and knelt down beside Kate's bed. "Kate, you're missing class." Keith alerted the brunette as he shook her arm gently.

"I don't care." Kate grumbled back as she rolled over onto her side so she was facing away from Keith.

"Kitty Kat doesn't care if she misses school? That's a first." Keith said lightly with a chuckle.

"Go away Keith. You're not even allowed in the girls dorms." Kate snarled at the red-head as she rolled back over so she was facing him.

"Well I wanted to see how my best friend was doing." Keith said as he sat down on the edge of Kate's bed.

"We aren't friends anymore Keith. You said so yourself and I agreed to it." Kate said as she turned away from Keith again.

"I'm sorry Kate. I miss getting to torment my little Kitty Kat. Come on." Keith said as he laid down and nuzzled Kate's neck.

"Go away Keith." Kate snarled as she pulled away from Keith's nuzzling.

"Please Kate. I miss getting to talk with you everyday. You're my best friend Kate. I'm sorry for getting mad at you and I'll try and be less annoying if it'll make you happier. Please Kitty Kat, I miss ya baby doll." Keith said sincerely as he sat up and tried to look Kate in the eyes. He heard a light chuckle come from the brunette and felt his mood lighten.

"You just love to give me all these nicknames don't you?" Kate questioned as she turned to face the prankster.

"They fit you perfectly." Keith said with a grin. He was then surprised by a hug from Kate. He returned the hug quickly, wishing he could just hold Kate for hour's on end. "You forgive me then?" Keith asked as he felt Kate nuzzle his shoulder.

"Yeah I forgive you dork." Kate said before pulling away from Keith.

"You're still willing to go to prom with me, right? I don't want to have to ask one of those other girls so late." Keith said as Kate chuckled.

"Yeah I'm still going with you Keith. I wouldn't make you suffer by going with one of those girls who would, as you said, cling to you all night." Kate said as she smiled at the spiky-haired teen.

"Thank you then because the prom is only in three days, remember." Keith said before he heard the bell ring to tell everyone to get back to class.

"Yeah I know and don't you have to get back to class." Kate said with a smirk.

"Uh don't you too. You already missed the first half of class. Now you've gotta get to the second half." Keith said before grabbing Kate and pulling her out of bed.

"Keith stop it! I'm not even ready to go to class yet." Kate said as she began to struggle.

"Then get ready. I know you don't like to miss class." Keith said before letting go of Kate. She quickly crawled back into her bed. "Fine then I'll carry you to class." Keith said before grabbing Kate again and lifting her off her bed.

"Keith stop it! I don't want to go to class!" Kate shrieked at the prankster as he began to pull Kate towards the door.

"Too bad skipper! You're going." Keith said as he pushed Kate out of the door and then began to drag her towards the stairs.

"I'm gonna smack you with my styler!" Kate hissed at the red-head.

"No you won't. You should be thanking me Kate. I'm not letting you miss class." Keith said with a chuckle.

"Keith I'm not feeling good either so stop." Kate said as she continued to struggle. The second bell then rang. "Ha! It's too late now!" Kate said as Keith lost his grip on Kate. She then bolted back to the dorm.

"Kitty Kat get back here!" Keith said before going after Kate. He walked into the girls dorm to see her laying back down in her bed. "Fine if you're going to lay down then you'll do it in the lounge so I don't get in trouble for being in here." Keith said before picking Kate up and carrying her out of the girls dorm.

"Keith you are so going to pay for this." Kate snarled as he set her back down on the couch.

"Yeah what ever Kitty Kat." Keith said with a chuckle as he sat down on the couch with her. He then pulled her closer her him. "Now you can just sleep if you want." Keith said with a warm smile at Kate.

Kate blushed lightly as the butterflies began to act up again. "Fine." Kate said as she cuddled closer to Keith to try and sleep.

Keith chuckled lightly before trying to let sleep take him as well. He fell asleep quickly but woke later to people talking loudly in the room. "Hey sleepy, you two have fun?" Kellyn questioned the red-head.

"Hmm." Keith groaned as he stretched his arms, still half asleep. He then noticed Kate was still cuddled up to him, asleep.

"Well at least they're friends again, that's a good thing." Rythmi said with a grin as Kate groaned. Kate opened her eyes and noticed Kellyn and Rythmi watching them.

"Well now they're both awake at least. You two have fun taking a nap together?" Kellyn asked with a chuckle.

"Kate made me late for class so we decided to just take a nap." Keith said with a yawn.

"Yeah she made you late. You probably just didn't want to go to class since you were moping through the first half." Kellyn said with a smirk.

"Moping?" Kate questioned as she stayed cuddled up to Keith.

"Uhh..." Keith stuttered before he heard Kellyn and Rythmi begin laughing. "What's so funny?" Keith questioned as he turned towards the two.

"You." Rythmi said through her laughing..

"Oh shut up." Keith said before he felt Kate cuddle into him more. He wrapped his free arm around her since he knew she was tired.

"Alright I think we're gonna leave you two alone since it looks like Kate's tired, and you just want to cuddle more with her." Kellyn said as his laughing died down. "Come on Ryth." Kellyn said before heading towards the stairs.

"Have fun you two." Rythmi said before following after her boyfriend.

"Keith I'm really tired so can I please go to my dorm now?" Kate questioned the spiky-haired prankster.

"Nope. You can stay here and sleep if you want." Keith said with a smirk at the brunette.

"You are so mean to me Keith. I'm not feeling well today so I need to rest." Kate explained to Keith quickly, hoping he would let her go to bed.

"I am not mean. That's just more of a reason for me to keep you out here so I can make sure you're okay." Keith said sweetly to the girl.

"I'm not that sick Keith. I'm just really tired and I have a headache." Kate assured the red-head.

"Well I'm still going to make you stay out here with me Kate. I want to be with my best friend for a little longer." Keith said with a warm smile at Kate that sent the butterflies in her stomach nuts.

"Fine." Kate said with a sigh.

Keith grinned at Kate before she settled back into the couch more to rest.

Two days later

"Are you sure this dress is good enough Kate?" Rythmi questioned the brunette as she held up a long, flowing purple dress.

"For the hundredth time, yes! Dear Arceus please save me from this torment!" Keith exclaimed as she threw her hands in the air.

"I want it to be perfect for tomorrow Kate! I really want things to go perfectly for prom." Rythmi said as she continued to walk around in a nervous fit.

"Things will go fine with you. Besides you know Kellyn wouldn't care what dress you wore as long as you show up." Kate explained to the blond.

"Are you going to try and tell Keith you like him?" Rythmi asked the brunette, who had finally revealed the secret the day previous.

"I don't know yet. I'm thinking about it still." Kate said rather shyly as she pulled out her own dress.

"He's gonna love that dress. I wish I could have found one that was like that." Rythmi said as she examined the dress Kate had chosen.

"You still found a good one for you. That's gonna drive Kellyn insane. Although he'll probably want you..." Kate was cut off by Rythmi.

"Don't go there with those dirty jokes Kate. Dear Arceus I wish you wouldn't take to Keith's stupid jokes sometimes." Rythmi said which earned a grin from the brunette.

"Can't blame me if they're true things that will most likely happen soon." Kate chirped happily as she put her dress away again.

"They will not happen! Kellyn and I barely kiss for one. We kiss maybe once every few days and that's it." Rythmi exclaimed loudly as Kate began daydreaming. "Kate! Snap to it!" Rythmi said as she threw a shoe at the girl.

"No throwing shoes at me!" Kate said before throwing it back.

"Then stop daydreaming about kissing Keith!" Rythmi chirped at the brunette.

"I was not! Now go back to getting your dress ready!" Kate exclaimed before dodging another thrown shoe.

Boys dorm

"Tell her dammit!" Kellyn snapped at Keith as he pinned the red-head to his bed.

"I'll tell her when I'm ready!" Keith barked back before shoving Kellyn off.

"Guys must we really resort to physical violence?" Isaac questioned his two roommates as he watched them wrestle.

"Tell her!" Kellyn said as he continued to try and pin the struggling prankster.

"It's my relationship, quit trying to meddle!" Keith said before shoving Kellyn away again.

"You won't tell her either way. Tomorrow's the prom and you won't tell Kate, the girl you love, that you like her." Kellyn said as he sat down on his own bed, tired from the struggle.

"First, I don't love her. I like her. Second, I'm gonna tell her soon." Keith said before laying down in his own bed.

"Tell her tomorrow then. Take advantage of the romantic night." Kellyn advised with a yawn.

"Fine. I'll try and tell her tomorrow. Happy now?" Keith questioned with a huff.

"Yes I am." Kellyn replied with a chuckle at Keith's annoyance towards him.

The next day

Kate and Rythmi woke up early to get themselves ready for the prom. They told the boys the previous day that they would see them at the Pledge Stone around the early evening to take pictures. "I'm so nervous Kate." Rythmi said as she worked on getting her hair ready.

"You're nervous? What about me? Keith doesn't even know I like him, while Kellyn knows already that you like him a lot." Kate said quickly as she worked on getting her own brunette hair ready.

"Yeah but that just means I have more of a reason to get all dressed up because I've got to try even harder to look good because I want Kellyn to know even more that I care a lot about him." Rythmi exclaimed quickly as she moved onto doing her make up.

Kate chuckled at how quickly her friend was speaking and at her explanation. "Yeah well I've got to prove that I care about Keith even a little." Kate countered with a chuckle.

"Why are you making a joke about this Kate? I'm being serious! Oh drat I messed up my make up now. Thanks Kate." Rythmi said before trying to fix her make up. The two continued on with their preparations for a little longer.

"Alright now we've just got to get our dresses on then we can go meet the guys." Kate said as she grabbed her own dress.

"Arceus I'm a nervous wreck Kate!" Rythmi exclaimed loudly.

"Rythmi just calm down already! Everything's going to be alright, okay." Kate assured the nervous blond.

"Dear Arceus I hope you're right." Rythmi said before putting on her own dress finally. The two finished getting ready quickly before leaving the girls dorm finally. "Alright let's go see the guys now then." Rythmi said, still obviously nervous.

"Calm down first or I'm not letting you go." Kate said as she grabbed her friend by the shoulders.

Rythmi took a few deep breaths before Kate let go of her shoulders. "Alright I think I'm good now. Let's go before they think we stood them up." Rythmi said as she started to head for the stairs.

"They wouldn't think that. You need to stop with the negative thoughts Rythmi." Kate said as she followed the blond.

Keith, Kellyn and Isaac were all already waiting at the Pledge Stone for Rythmi and Kate. "Isaac I still can't believe you didn't find a date." Kellyn said to the boy-genius as Keith messed with his bow tie.

"I'm fine being dateless Kellyn. Really I am. I'm sure that I'll find someone to dance with at the prom tonight anyways." Isaac assured Kellyn before noticing Keith's nervous fidgeting. "Keith, are you nervous?" Isaac questioned the red-head.

"What do you think." Keith replied as he continued messing with his bow tie.

"First, stop messing with your tie you idiot. You're going to mess it up. Second, Kate's probably not nervous. So why are you. Just relax buddy." Kellyn said in an attempt to calm the prankster's nerves.

"Thanks dude." Keith said with a deep breath.

"No problem bro." Kellyn said as he patted Keith on the shoulder. "Now where are our dates at anyways? They said they would be here around early evening." Kellyn said as he looked towards the stairs in Ascension square for signs of Rythmi and Kate.

"You know your girlfriend. She's probably having a panic attack." Isaac said with a chuckle which received a glare from Kellyn.

"Well hopefully Kate's able to calm her then." Kellyn said before Isaac aught sigh of the two girls.

"Here they come now guys. Don't screw up." Isaac said with a grin at the two males.

"Shut up Isaac." Kellyn said before he turned towards the stairs to see his girlfriend.
