Lunch was nice, as usual. A simple sandwich, and some water is what Jewel got. Lucario got his usual can of Oran berries and some water. They had already eaten and were just wandering through the halls of the mansion.
"So, what are your plans for today?" Jewel asked.
He shrugged. "I know I have a brawl today with Fox and Link. If you want, there is still one spot left to enter-"
"You want me to join?" Jewel finished.
Lucarios' eyes widened a bit, then he nodded. Jewel smiled.
"I guess I have nothing else better to do… Sure I'll come." She said.
"Just to let you know, it is a team brawl. You will be on one of three teams. Blue, red or green, I was told to go to blue." Lucario explained.
Jewel nodded. "So if I'm lucky, I'll be on your team." She chuckled.
Lucario nodded while he smirked. "That is correct."
Jewel smiled. Her first real brawl in the mansion. She knew all of her moves thanks to Lucario training with her. Most included a blast of fire. She just had to figure out what her final smash is.
"It will not start until this evening, eight thirty." Lucario noted.
Jewel looked at him. "What are we going to do until then?" She asked.
He shrugged. "What ever we want I guess."
"Maybe we could go to the outskirts of town and wander aimlessly." Jewel suggested.
Lucario chuckled. "I guess we could do that."
The two walked until they reached the front door. They left and made their way to the town. It was a bit hard to get through it being that it was somewhat crowded. It had been nearly a half hour since they left, and now they stood on the edge of a cliff next to a waterfall. Each one stood in perfect silence as they watched the horizon.
That silence was broken by a nearby twig snapping. They both turned their heads. Then, the unexpected happened,
Mewtwo emerged from the trees.
'oh, gods. Please don't let them fight.' Jewel prayed silently.
To Jewels' dismay, Mewtwo growled at Lucario. Lucario narrowed his eyes and growled back. Mewtwo clenched his hands into fists and they flared with purple aura. Lucario did the same. Then each took a fighting stance.
Then they lunged at each other…
Only to be stopped by a blast of fire that burnt the air in between them. They stopped and looked a Jewel. Whom had her paw raised and smoke emitted off of it. Her eyes were narrowed to slits.
"Don't fight." She growled.
Mewtwo and Lucario looked at each other, then lowered their stances. However, they did not lower their glares. Lucario looked away and walked over to Jewel. She was glaring at Mewtwo.
"If you are going to transport the smashers and I to my planet, then you need to put your differences to rest. At least for now," she lectured, " come on Lucario, lets go back to the mansion."
Lucario nodded and followed Jewel back to the mansion.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"I can't believe that Mewtwo could be so stubborn!" Jewel cried in her room.
She was sitting on her bed with her arms on her lap. Her head was low and her ears drooped.
"Why didn't I just let them fight?" she asked herself.
'because you couldn't stand watching Lucario in pain if he lost.'
Someone whispered, then, a dark cloud formed and a Jewel "Clone" stepped out. Her fur was black instead of white.
Jewel shook her head and sighed. "Leave me alone."
'you know you like him. Why turn away?'
"Because I don't know if he likes me the same way."
'but what if he does, hm? Are you going to just ignore your feelings toward him?'
"No, but-"
'but what? What can you possibly do to show and hide your feelings?'
Jewel sighed. "Nothing, it is impossible to hide my feelings when I always have this cursed necklace, you and I both know it changes color according to my current emotion." She stated.
'true, but if you didn't have the necklace then you would be living with no emotions at all. That is the true curse if you ask me.'
"You do have a point, I guess."
'we both know I'm right. Try to open up to him, see what he does…'
Jewel thought a moment. Then sighed in defeat. "Alright, I'll try."
'good, I have to go now, and even if I am your "evil half" I'd still look after you-'
"Because you and I share the same life, I've heard it all before." Jewel finished.
Her evil side chuckled before fading from sight…
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Deep in the forest, stood two primids chatting amongst themselves. Then, a black portal opened and a cloaked figure stepped out. The two primids beeped in greeting.
"I have a message for Tabuu…"
