"Now you may kiss the bride." The preacher announced as he closed the book he was carrying. The crowds smiled and cheered, some even hollered for the new couple for both Prince Miles and Princess Leaf. Red sat afar, tears in his eyes as he slowly got up and looked at the two, smiling at each other, and Miles pulling the veil away from Leaf's face. She smiled as Miles dove in for the kiss. It was too painful for Red as he clenched his hands together.

"No…no!" Red whispered himself. He looked up again and sees Miles kissing Leaf even more passionately, even worse, she's kissing him back. Red's eyes water even more as he fell on his knees biting his lips until he drew blood.

"No…NO! This can't be happening! Leaf!" Red yelled out as loud as he could.

"Leaf!" Red yelled out as he sprung out of bed. He blinked as he looks at his surroundings, confused and curious on how he got into a glorious room. He examined himself, he's half naked exposing his bare chest, his hat is missing as is replaced with white bandages, and there was a metal plate on the corner of his head. He touched it to further analyze it and realized that it's intact of his head. Questions and wonder filled his mind as he slowly recalls on what just happened. Then it finally hit him, like a bullet that just went through his brain.

"I was shot…I killed myself…" Red whispered to himself as he looks at his hands that are trembling and then he clenches them tightly.

"But…how and why am I still alive?" Red questioned further as he touched the metal plate on his head. He blinked some more as he scans his surroundings, it was dark, assuming that it's at night with curtains covering the windows, surgical tubes, tables, rags, blood, and other sharp objects lay scatter all over the room. Red then noticed that he's in a large bed, a very large bed to be exact, a king size bed filled with white blankets, beige pillows and the bed stand itself is made out of red oak, and very expensive.

"Where am I?" Red begins to rub his chin, when suddenly the door to the room opened gently; Red could only sit there, wondering what's going on and who's at the door.

"So, you're finally awake my dear boy." Frederick simply said as he closes the door behind him as he enters and sat down at a nearby chair and stared at Red who was getting nervous and worried that he's being stared at by Leaf's father.

"Am I…somewhere…where I think I am…?" Red whispered to himself as he looked back at Frederick. Frederick gave Red a warm smile as he nodded his head, which means that he heard what Red had just said.

"You are, you're at my mansion and it's twelve o' clock at midnight." Frederick said as he looked at his watch. Red froze as he suddenly wonders if Team Rocket has been calling him, or Giovanni.

"Um…excuse me sir, do you know where my phone is?" Red questioned as he leaned forward, but soon he felt a terrible headache straining through his head. He clenched his teeth and held onto his head.

"Ouch…" Red whispered to himself. Frederick frowned as he looked at the poor boy.

"So…after all of this crazy event and the mess we went through, you still questioned where your phone is at?" Frederick questioned Red, who stiffed in fright. Red didn't say anything as he just sat there.

"Do you have any idea, the drama you've caused my family!?" Frederick raised his voice even louder as he stood up from his seat. Red backed down a bit, feeling scared now, and a little guilty.

"To hell with your phone Red, and to hell with your job, you almost died!" Frederick yelled out more as he slammed his hand on the table which Red flinch from the impact. He then turned around and opened one of the curtains to look outside. It then started to rain hard.

"I…I don't know what to say…I'm sorry, but this job is very important-" Red was cut off when Frederick slammed his hand on the nearby table which Red flinched.

"You've got to be shitting me Red, is your job THAT important!?" Frederick roared out even louder. Red backed down in his covers.

'You have no idea…' Red thought.

"My daughter…Leaf…she was so scared." Frederick sadly said as he kept looking at the outside window. Red raised his head up as he heard what he just heard.

"R-Really?" Red questioned as he slowly rose back up on his covers. Frederick nodded his head in response.

"Yes, I haven't seen her that scared since her mother died, and that was three years ago." Frederick stated. Red felt guilty as he nods his head slowly.

"I'm sorry…" Red simply said; it felt right just to say it. Frederick shook his head.

"When the gunshot rang around the mansion, we were all shook up. Everyone ran outside and saw you on the ground, lifeless; Leaf struggling against Mile's arms, crying and then telling her that you attacked him and he did this out of self defense. Of course, she didn't believe him and she slapped him hard across the face and then ran towards your body, holding you tightly, crying her eyes out and pleading that you wake up." Frederick simply said as he stopped in his last sentence and looked at Red who was in shock and awe.

"That's not all, your friend, Yellow came into the scene and saw you there against my daughter's arm, and she too ran and cried. Knowing Leaf, she's stubborn as she lifted her hands trying to heal you with her powers. We all immediately, even Miles try to stop her because we don't want the public to know that she has these kinds of power. She fought back, thrashing and kicking everyone until we finally calm her down. She then begged me on her knees." Frederick stopped as he wiped a few tears out of his eyes. Red didn't say anything, he was speechless.

"She begged me…to save your life, I tell you Red, I have never seen Leaf this badly hurt and depressed to the point where she begs, it simply put me in a very tight spot and my decisions very hard. Did you know what I did Red?" Frederick questioned as he looked at Red, who was still sitting on the bed with his mouth hanging open. Red shook his head.

"I hired, all of the different regions doctors to save you, and do you know how much it all cost?" Frederick questioned further with a hint of an angry tone.

"H-How much…?" Red questioned meekly. Frederick sighed as he looked out of the window.

"Two point five billion dollars, just to save you, no, just to see my daughter smiling again." Frederick simply stated which Red's eyes nearly bulged out of his sockets.

"T-That's a lot of money…hehe" Red chuckled nervously, but Frederick didn't laugh as he kept looking out of the window.

"We couldn't possibly let Leaf use her powers because it will cost her life to save the dead. We know this because there are reports of some people that have Leaf's power that used it on the dead, and died the next following day. However, it is a successful method, but I couldn't possibly let my daughter do something that rash." Frederick said as he stopped in his sentence again. Red's jaw dropped down even further as he felt even guiltier than ever before. What's worse is that he could've brought Leaf endangered if he were to die. He clenches his hands in rage.

"We nursed you back here; we couldn't possibly bring you to the hospital without having such a headache with all the medical crap and the ability to resurrect you. Instead, we had you do it here, which is the stuff of nightmares; I'm telling you its very scary seeing you on this bed." Frederick simply said. Red's eyes widen.

"When you were on this bed, you were twitching, your eyes were rolled back, and you kept making scary face gestures every time the doctors trigger something in your brain, there was blood everywhere, Leaf, Blue, Silver, Yellow and even Bruno was scared at the sight. They were all just worried, even me" Frederick softly said as he eyed on Red with a serious look.

"H-How long was I out?" Red questioned further. Frederick sighed and crossed his arms.

"Three weeks." Frederick simply stated. Red's eyes bulged out. Three weeks!?

"Ahem, anyways…Miles shouldn't bother you at all." Frederick said. Red's eyes perked up when he heard that.

"R-Really, why?" Red questioned even more.

"Because he attacked you using his powers and that is going against the rules. He's back at Unova, but he'll be back pretty soon. He is after all, my future son in law." Frederick simply stated. Red bit his lip; he hated the fact that Leaf has to marry some bastard just because he's rich and royal. He hated it all, but what he hates the most is that he's working with Team Rocket.

"Red…I have a proposition…that is if you don't mind." Frederick simply said while leaning against the wall. Red looked up and slowly nodded his head.

"For the sake of my daughter, no, for the sake of this family…will you live here with us?" Frederick said in a serious manner. Red's eyes bulged out, his heart beat in a fast pace, he was getting sweaty and nervous at the same time. Did he hear it right? Did Frederick Green, president of Silph Co., King of Sinnoh, extremely rich family asked him to stay at the mansion!? Red couldn't say anything else; he was so surprised and shocked.

"B-But why sir?" Red asked nervously. Frederick chuckled as he looked out of the window.

"It's only temporary, until Miles gets back. I want you to stay because I wanted Leaf to be happy and for you to quit your job and become our butler. Just for temporary mind you." Frederick simply said as he smiled at Red. Red couldn't believe what he's hearing, it almost sounds too good to be real, nonetheless he smiled. Then it hit him, as he wonders what had happened to Yellow.

"What about Yellow, is she still here?" Red asked nervously. Frederick smiled and shook his head.

"Yellow have decided to stay with us, to take care of you, but then I asked her to stay here as a family because she was lonely and needed caring. She declined at first, but soon she accepted. She was nervous for the first week, but she got to know my family a whole lot better. Blue especially, she became quiet attach to that boy, and I'm glad." Frederick said with a smile. Red smiled too as he couldn't believe that his friend Yellow have decided to stay with the Green family. It made him happy to know that she's happy here, but what about him?

"Sir…what will happen to me, once Miles comes back?" Red asked in a serious tone. Frederick sighed as he crossed his arms.

"I'm not sure yet Red, but I promise to find you a better job and home. Leaf told me all about you, it's quiet a tragic past you have. Not knowing your parents, having to work every time your phone rings, and barely surviving out in the cold. It must be hard on you; no young teenager like yourself should be living in that condition." Frederick sadly said. Red felt happy when he said that, it made him feel like he's worth something.

"Where's Leaf?" Red asked finally, he's wanted to say that for a while and now he has the courage to say it to her father. Frederick smiled.

"She's in her room, sleeping of course, and if you're wondering, you may see her." Frederick said happily as he crossed his arms. Red's face turned into a huge smile as he couldn't contain his excitement any longer.

"Thank you sir! Thank you so much!" Red happily said as he tries to get up, but he soon stopped by a huge headache. Frederick smiled as he walked over to the counter and threw Red's clothes to him.

"Get change first before you do though." Frederick simply said; Red nods his head happily as he grabbed his black T-shirt and red jacket. Frederick was at the door, ready to open it until he turned around and looked at Red.

"Red…I'm not a bad person; I just worry about my family and their protection. I know Leaf might have told you that I'm a person who doesn't care about her, but I'm doing this because I love her. I know you do too, that's why she came back home without a scratch. I know I can trust you Red, just how Leaf trusted you. Welcome to the family Red." Frederick said as he walked out of the door. Red was about to say something, but he was already gone. He looked down at his hands and then he clenched them.

"It's been three weeks, Giovanni hadn't done anything yet, does that mean I'm finally safe? That is until Miles gets back…I swear…I will not let anything happen to this family or Leaf. I bet my life on that." Red whispered to himself as he changes back into his clothes, but he noticed that he couldn't find his hat anywhere. He shrugs as he left the room and headed towards Leaf's room.

It didn't take long for Red to find Leaf's room, he was about to turn the doorknob, but then he stopped and think for a second.

"Should I open the door, or knock?" Red whispered to himself as he looked at the pearl white door. Red shook his head as he decided to open it anyways, besides she's sleeping. He enters as he slowly crept towards the bed, he could see someone sleeping on the bed, he smiled as he approached the bed and sat on edge. He looked down and saw Leaf, sleeping peacefully and holding something in her hands as though she's afraid to let it go.

"Red…" Leaf whispered in her sleep. Red chuckled as he stroke her long brown hair. That made Leaf opened her eyes a bit as she looked up and saw Red stroking her hair. She immediately raised her head, eyes widen, and in shock.

"R-Red…is that…is that really…you?" Leaf asked meekly as the tears In her eyes were about to spill. Red chuckled as he bends over and kissed her lips. She didn't kissed back, but she let him do his work. He released her and smiled.

"Does that answer your question?" Red asked as he stroke her hair. Tears of joy fell down from her cheeks, too excited, and too happy to see Red, alive and not dead.

"RED!" Leaf yelled out as she jumped on him and cried against his chest, Red chuckled as he embraced her tightly.

"Red…oh god…Red…you're okay…you're fine…I'm so happy…" Leaf sniffled as he held onto him tighter. Red laughed as he patted her back.

"I miss you…so much Red…I was so scared that you weren't going to make it…" Leaf cried harder, but Red just kept listening to her.

"I'm so sorry Leaf…" Red simply said. Leaf shook her head against his chest as she finally pulled back and looked into his red eyes.

"I missed you Red…you have no idea how much I miss you. When dad told me not to use my powers to save you…I snapped…" Leaf sadly said as she sniffled. Red chuckled as he kissed her to calm her down. He then pulled back and smiled at her.

"He did the right thing Leaf…he did the right thing. I would never forgive myself if something were to happen to you. I love you Leaf." Red softly said as he embraced her. Leaf wanted to hear those three words from his lips for a long time, it felt good knowing that he's alive, and saying those words. Leaf cried harder.

"I love you Red…I love you so much." Leaf softly said. Red smiled.

"Shhh…I'm here now…and I have great news." Red said as he gently pulled her away and wiped away the tears off of her eyes. Leaf looked at him, puzzled and curious.

"I'm staying here, with you." Red simply said with a smile on his face. Leaf's heart nearly stopped, but her face was smiling.

"What…how!?" Leaf asked excitingly. Red chuckled as he looked at her blue eyes.

"Your father will let me stay here until Miles comes back." Red simply said. Leaf was too happy, she probably didn't hear the part where Miles is coming back as she kissed him full in the mouth, kissing it passionately and eyes closed.

"Stay here with me…tonight…" Leaf moaned as Red tongued her. Red pulled back and looked at her blue eyes and nodded his head.

"As you wish my princess…" Red softly said as he placed her on her bed and kissed her passionately. Leaf moaned as she let go of Red's cap she was holding as he it dropped down on the floor.
