Ch.9

Neon: "Mmmm…(Opens eyes) Hm? Ruddy? What are you doing?"

Ruddy: "(Kisses Neon's stomach) What does it look like I'm doing? (Grins)"

Neon: "(Grumbles) You are never going to let me sleep again, are you?"

Ruddy: "Nope! I plan to do this every morning and every night."

Neon: "Didn't you have your fun last night? I figured you'd be tired by now."

Ruddy: "I'm making up for all the time I missed. Besides, why not try and figure out where all your new sensitive spots are?"

Neon: "I doubt that any of them have changed at all since last night."

Ruddy: "But this body of yours is different. It helps to know what makes you feel good for future references."

Neon: "You just want to have more sex."

Ruddy: "Exactly! (Kisses forehead) Now just lie back while I take care of everything."

'So much for resting', Neon thought as Ruddy nipped at his body in various areas; she had not stopped the whole night since returning, and was continuing from where she had left off. Neon didn't mind at first, but was slowly starting to grow irritated as Ruddy continued to leave more marks upon his body, and keep him from falling back asleep; if only he was as strong as her, then maybe she might lighten up on him just a little bit.

Neon: "(Groans) Ruddyyyyyyyyy. Can't we just cuddle? I'm so exhausted."

Ruddy: "Awww, I'm sorry. (Nuzzles Neon's head) I'll let you sleep."

Neon: "(Kisses cheek) Thank you, love."

It was hard to believe that Neon was no longer a male, and yet it didn't seem to bother Ruddy in the least; she couldn't help looking at her love, and taking the time to appreciate everything about him. Gently pulling her fingers through his soft hair, Ruddy took in every detail of Neon's appearance; she was mesmerized by how beautiful he was, and how she just couldn't get enough of him. Ruddy had always been head over heels for the young umbreon, but now she found him to be all the more adorable as he slept beside her with an innocent face. Upon further observation, the latias noted that Neon still had his natural, sweet scent; his stomach, which she found too tempting not to touch, was warm and smooth like a freshly picked peach. The young female furthered her explorations with small butterfly kisses that grazed Neon's shoulders, arms, hips, legs, hands, fingers, neck, and most importantly his lovely back.

It was beyond perfect from what Ruddy could see, like an untouched pearl or marble stone; another thing that caught her eye, was Neon's budding chest area. He was still a bit young and slightly immature, but regardless of this, Neon was still a beauty to behold; the delicate mounds that perfectly fit in Ruddy's palms, were so warm that it sent shivers up the young female's body. Unaware that Neon was watching her as she positioned herself to his side; the young female nestled her face into the crook of her mate's neck. Just like Ruddy had done moments ago, Neon began to look at his lovely mate as she slept peacefully at his side. So tall she was compared to him, wonderful silver hair that glistened in the sunlight, and a very toned body.

Ruddy had lived in the wild as any normal pokemon would have; unlike him, she had actually faced the rough daily rituals of survival. This was not something that he nor any of the others in his clan had to face; life in the cove was far easier than the actual wilderness. The young umbreon had noticed a few small, but faint scars in various places; some were still a bit fresh, most likely from her last adventure. To think that he was so upset by the one scar he had received on his face, that he hadn't taken into account of how Ruddy felt about her own.

Jasper : " Ruddy! Come out here now!"

Ruddy : "(Ears perk up) Huh?"

Neon : "Jasper? (Folds back ears) Oh dear."

Ruddy : "Is something wrong? Why is Jasper here?"

Neon : "Ruddy, don't go outside."

Ruddy : "Why?"

Neon: "If my sister catches you naked with an unknown female, how do you think she will react?"

Ruddy: "Um…...well you could go out there and tell her. You did plan on telling her, right?"

Neon: "I…..How would I even be able to explain this to her? What is she freaks out? Or worse, what if she doesn't believe me and tries to kill me!?"

Ruddy: "(Sighs and gets up) I'll go talk to her."

Neon: "But Ruddy-"

Ruddy: "(Walks out of den) Jasper? Is something wrong?"

Jasper: "(Growls) Where the bloody hell have you been!?"

Ruddy: "I was traveling. Just got back last-"

Jasper: "Do you know how hurt my brother is because of you!?"

Ruddy: "Very hurt from what I sa-"

Jasper: "I have literally been forcing him to eat, because he's been so sick over you!"

Ruddy: "Jasper, I am really sorry-"

Jasper: "(Cracks knuckles) Oh you're going to be more than sorry when I'm done with you."

Ruddy: "Oh please don't do what I think you're going to do."

Jasper: "(Tackles Ruddy) I'll kill you for this, Ruddy!"

Neon: "(Runs out) Jasper stop! (Grabs on to Jasper) Stop it right now!"

Jasper: "(Pushes Neon back) The hell!? Stay away who ever you are! This has nothing to do with you! (Punches Ruddy)"

Ruddy: "(Flips over Jasper and pins her) Calm down dammit! Neon was just trying to help."

Jasper: "Neon? (Looks at Neon) What in the world?"

Neon: "(Groans) Ouch...(Rubs back of head) Geez sis! Did you have to hit me so hard!?"

Jasper could not believe her eyes; the female that sat on her haunches while rubbing her head had just called her 'sis', and what was even weirder was that she looked identical to her. From the eyes and hair, to the markings on their ears and tail, even the scent that came from her was similar; there was only one other person in this whole world that was similar to jasper, and that of course was her brother Neon. The female umbreon's eyes widen at the realization of who this strange latias was; Jasper's face grew hot as her mind raced furiously, before she knew it her entire world began to spin uncontrollably with no means of stopping. Jasper could not believe it, her brother was no longer a male; how could such a thing be possible? Better yet, how did it happen?"

Jasper: "...I-I...(Holds head) Ooooh I don't feel so good..."

Ruddy: "(Ears perk up) Um, Jasper? Are you alright?"

Jasper: "(Mumbles and faints) Aaaaaaah..."

Ruddy: "Well that went well."

Neon: "Oh god! (Grabs Jasper's shoulders) Jasper!? Jasper, wake up!"

Ruddy: "(Sighs) (This is what I get for falling in love with a twin.)"

Neon: "(Tears up) Oh no...She hates me. (Fold ears back)"

Ruddy: "Love, I'm sure that's not why she fainted."

Neon: "Then why?"

Ruddy: "It's kind of shocking when your sibling changes so drastically within just a few hours."

Jasper: "(Groans)...My head..."

Neon: "Oh Jasper, are you alright!?"

Jasper: "(Looks up at Neon) Wha-what happened to you?"

Neon: "I...I found a way to be...I'm finally who I'm suppose to be. Isn't that great, sis?"

Jasper: "...You're (Touches Neon's face) not a boy."

Neon: "No. I'm...me."

Jasper: "(Breaths out and sits up)...Are you...(Caresses hair) Does this feel right? (Cups face) Is this what makes you happy?"

Neon: "(Cups face) Yes. I am beyond happy, Jasper."

Jasper: "(Tears up and hugs Neon) Heh, I guess you finally got your wish. (Nuzzles head) You look great,br-(Coughs) sis."

Neon: "...(Smiles) I have Ruddy to thank. Without her this wouldn't have been possible."

Jasper: "(Turns to Ruddy) Um...(Rubs back of head) S-sorry for...you know."

Ruddy: "(Smiles) S'alright! I've gone through worse."

Jasper: "...I guess this means you're going to leave."

Neon: "Not yet. I still need to learn how to fly first."

Jasper: "(Chuckles) That sounds like fun."

Ruddy: "It will be. We just have to wait and see."

Jasper: "Just promise me that you'll take care of my...'sister', when you leave."

Ruddy: "I plan to, and I've got the rest of my life to do so."

Jasper: "Good."

Neon: "What about you, sis? Are you going to stay with Fang?"

Jasper: "Yes, but first I'm going back to the cove."

Neon: "What!? Why!?"

Jasper: "I am going to kick the hell out of dad, and take what I've worked so hard for. If he has any objections to that, he'll have to fight me till death."

Neon: "Are you sure that's such a good idea?"

Jasper: "Only one way to find out."

Neon: "(Sighs) A warrior till the end."

Jaser had eventually gone back to Elemental Cove; she had of coursed challenged Bolt for his position, to which he could not decline in front of the other leaders when presented with the challenge. It was a bloody and rough fight for Jasper, but she had managed to come out victorious in the end; no one had dared to object to her taking the position, nor uttered any insult when she declared that Fang would be her life mate. Things were going to start changing in the cove, and Jasper was to be the one to help start it; if Neon had the dedication and courage to try and become what he desired, then so would she. Although he could not stay and see his sister make progress within the cove, Neon had wished Jasper the best of luck, and left to travel with Ruddy; it would be a year before the two would come back, and with them, a beautiful daughter they named Rose.

Jasper: "(Pick up niece) Oh she's beautiful!"

Neon: "Sorry it took so long, sis. We just had to make sure that the little one was able to travel first."

Jasper: "I bet Ruddy's over the moon for this one."

Neo: "(Smiles) Indeed she is. I never thought that we would get the chance to have offspring. You can imagine my surprise when she told me that we were expecting. "

Jasper: "(Nuzzles niece's head) I can't wait to have my own. Fang has been all giddy over my pregnancy, and just won't stop with the royal treatment. He nearly fainted when I told him I'm eating for three."

Neon: "(Chuckles) I did think that you would have twins...Do you think that..."

Jasper: "If one of them turns out like you, I'll love them just the same."

Neon: "You think they'll be like us?"

Jasper: "Hopefully like you. Mom said I was quite the handful when we were growing up."

Neon: "Did you ever think that we would ever have kids?

Jasper: "Nope. I guess fate had other plans for us, but I don't regret what's happened."

Neon: "(Holds offspring) Neither do I. I couldn't have asked for a better life than this."

Ruddy: "Hun, I got food! (Kisses cheek) Where's my little Rosie?"

Neon: "(Smiles) She's right here."

Ruddy: "(Picks up Rose) Just as beautiful as your mommy."

It might have been a surprise when Ruddy gave birth to a latias that looked exactly like Neon, but surprisingly enough, there were benefits of having such a unique looking child; so many of Ruddy's flock had praised the new addition, and were excited for when she would come of breeding age. Many of them had began to want offsprings with her exotic traits, indeed they saw Rose as a rare treasure to behold; none could have been more prouder than Ruddy, who always gave credit to her beloved mate for having a hand in making their beautiful daughter. The flock never did quite understand what the latias meant, but they didn't seem to care once the subject had passed; all that mattered was which one of them would have the honor of mixing their bloodline with Ruddy's. Until that day came, Neon and Ruddy would enjoy the constant praise and admiration of others; despite the fact that Neon was now female, the flock had accepted his and Ruddy's relationship like any other mated pair. Truly this was a blessing for them, one that Neon hoped would last till the day he took his final breath; words could not describe just how happy he had become to finally find acceptance among others.

Fang: "(Holds Jasper and rubs stomach) How are our little ones?"

Jasper: "Active. Haven't stopped kicking for sometime now."

Fang: "(Kisses head) They will be very strong, just like their mother."

Jasper: "(Laughs softly) And like their father."

Fang: "(Kisses stomach) Any day now?"

Jasper: "...(Flinches) Um dear?"

Fang: "(Ears perk up) Hm? Something wrong?"

Jasper: "It's time."

Fang: "Time? Time for what?"

Ruddy: "Oh boy! Looks like you're to be an uncle, love. (Smiles)"

Neon: "What!? Already!?"

Fang: "(Panics) Oh my gosh! What do I do!?"

Ruddy: "Stay calm, I'll help. Go get something for her to lay on"

Fang: "Right! I'll be back Jasper. (Runs)"

Neon: "Looks like Rosie might get to see her cousins after all."

Jasper: "N-Neon?"

Neon: "(Holds Jasper's hand) It's alright, sis. You're going to be fine."

Jasper: "I'm scared."

Neon: "Don't worry, I'll be here. I'm not going to leave, sis."

Ruddy: "(Looks down) Get ready, Jasper. Here they come."

They had been through the worst together since the start of their lives, and yet now here they were; Neon never let go of Jasper's hand once, as she had promised never to leave him when they were young, he had done the same for her. Together they had suffered and triumphed over every obstacle that came their way; now here they were once again, standing at each other's sides, ready to await whatever was to come next.

The End
