Me: Well, new writing system should hopefully improve any grammar mistakes that are known to appear in my work, I just need to get used to all the new shiny buttons O-O'
Amber: Are you gonna start of what?
Me: Oh yeah, I have started to run out of things to talk to my characters about and so because of that I was wondering if you had any questions for them, please keep the suitable though. First question is by The Red Omega for Leon.
Leon: Interesting, continue.
Me: Well, he was wondering what you would feel like when you evolved.
Leon: I have no idea, I guess it would be an exciting prospect and it should improve my combat capabilities, apart from that I won't be able to say much until I experience it.
Jet: Ok, enough. Let the chapter begin.
Chapter 9: Peace and Quiet
(Jet's POV)
I must admit, it was nice waking up without Amber hitting me, but the fact that Summer was still snuggled up to me was definitely surprising, but strangely relaxing. I so hope Amber didn't see us because that would be torture of the highest level, we should probably get up now anyway.
"Summer?" I ask turning around, she stirs a little before rolling over. Well, I might as well get up, I could use a bath, it's been a while since I have even touched water and I stink.
I get out of bed, being careful not to wake Summer up and walk towards the bathroom, pretty simple, large stone bath, especially for someone small like me, and decorated with white stone panels, it's good to know this place has plumbing, I turn the water on, mainly cold, I hate the heat, once the temperature was nice, not to hot or cold, I jump in.
Maybe I'm weird but I have been in the bath for about 30 minutes thinking about every unsolvable mystery I could think of, and trying to solve them, I usually fail but I do my best thinking in the bath, away from noise and distracting sights.
"Jet?" I hear Summer ask from the next room, guess she woke up, I should probably go see if she's ok.
"Hang on!" I shout jumping out of the bath and shaking, getting as much water off me as possible. Once done I walk back unto the next room to see Summer, she looked a little worse for wear with the cuts and bruises but other than that, she seemed happy.
"Morning Summer." I say walking over to her.
"Good morning... About last night? Thank you..." She says getting up, she then hugs me.
"Uhh..." I say as my face starts to look like a tomato, there was that feeling again.
"Sorry..." She says letting go blushing slightly.
"No problem, just please not in front of Amber." I say giving her a cheesy grin, still blushing slightly.
"Jet, can I ask you something?" She asks me, looking slightly upset, did I do something wrong?
"Uhh, sure." I say facing her.
"Why have you done so much for me? I mean we haven't known each other for very long yet you always try to help me..." She says before more tears start falling from her eyes, haven't we gone through this already?
"If I've said it once, I've said it a million times, you're my friend, and my friends mean everything to me." I say using my cheery smile.
"Thanks, I feel so lucky to have met you..." She says before stretching, she looked so cute while doing that.
"You look cute doing that." I say before smacking myself and hiding under the bed out of sheer embarrassment.
"Th-Thank y-you I guess..." She says before looking at me under the bed.
"Oh my Arceus, that was stupid of me, I'm sorry!" I say red faced as I crawl out from under the bed.
"Don't worry." She tells me before heading towards the door and leaving the room, I leave the room as well.
"Well, good news, Amber sleeps for ages so we're safe for now, but Leon is a different story." I say as I feel a hand on my shoulder. "GAH!" I scream jumping forward, only to find it was Leon.
"Oh shit you scared me." I say trying to recover from my mini heart attack.
"I apologize, I should also mention I stopped Amber from finding you, she doesn't know about last night." He says.
"You knew... Well thanks for stopping Amber." I say slightly relieved.
"Well, I know why you did it, but I have some questions, I'm surprised Summer didn't notice but your wounds have healed." Leon asks me, I blink, look down and see no burn; I look back up and blink a few times.
"WHAT!" I shout before checking the rest of my body, no burns anywhere.
"I don't know the direct reason but I did feel a massive power from the back of the warehouse last night, was that you by any chance?" He asks me.
"I doubt it, beyond taking the Medicham out nothing really happened." I say while shrugging
"You took the Medicham out? How hard was she to beat?" Leon asks me once again, this was getting annoying now.
"I dunno, she was sorta tough, but not that bad." I say getting slightly annoyed.
"So it was you, it seems you have yet to realize that Medicham was stronger than Amber, apart from the Primeape, probably the strongest thug there." Leon says before realisation of what he said hits me
"Are you kidding me?" I say in disbelief.
"No, it seems something happened last night; maybe what your father says was true, you have some hidden potential Jet." He tells me before heading down the hallway and knocking on one of the rooms, about a minute later Amber appears.
"Yeah, Yeah, I'm up." She says before going downstairs.
"Well, shall we be off?" Leon says before following after Amber.
Guess we should get moving, next was Goza Village, a really nice place actually. It was quite small and it was the starting location into the emerald plains.
"Summer?" I say looking at her, she nods and we both head down the stairs to see Leon and Amber talking to the Bibarel behind the counter, Leon then moves away and leaves the building with Amber following. Me and Summer exchange a quick glance at each other before opening the door and catching up with the others.
We all leave the town, it seems we all wanted to get out before we got attacked again; I was really fed up of fighting now.
"Oh, Amber!" I shout running up to her as fast as possible, she yawns before turning towards me.
"What?" She says obviously tired.
"I got this for ya, so you can stop complaining now." I say handing her the handheld gaming device from my bag.
"Oh sweet, cheers Jet." She says perking up instantly.
"No problem." I say before walking towards Leon, I might as well get this out of the way.
(Leon's POV)
AN: Play X and Y Route 15 RemixWell, after leaving the town and wandering in the direction of Goza Village, I noticed Jet run up to Amber and hand her something, He then looks in my direction before sighing and running back to Summer, they exchange some words before Summer heads towards Amber and Jet goes towards me.
"Leon, can we talk?" He asks me.
"Of course." I say before noticing something emanating from Jet, I smile.
"Well, I just need to know something, you can read emotions right? What the hell am I feeling; I understand emotions about as well as I understand the point in bullying." He tells me, looks like he needs some help.
"Well, if I tell you, it may change your life." I say, trying to inform him of what it was he was feeling.
"How the hell can a feeling change my life, that doesn't make any… Oh Arceus." He says blushing slightly, looks like he figured it out.
"Seems you understand now, question is, can you go through with it?" I ask.
"Go through with it?" He repeats.
"Yes, it's obvious you like her, are you going to take her on a date, admit your feelings, you have to do something." I say, Jet then face palms.
"Because I'm so good at admitting my feelings, I can't even understand them half the time!" He shouts. I put my hand up to quiet him down.
"Just be careful, I'm willing to help you, first thing to do is find out what Summer thinks about you." I tell him.
"Fine, so please help me, could you talk to Summer for me? Just find out what she thinks?" He begs me.
"Very well." I respond, what did I get myself into.
"Cheers mate, I'm gonna go talk to Amber for a while." He says with his cheery smile.
He walks off towards Summer and Amber, I follow after him and he goes and talks to Amber about the game she was playing, I didn't catch the name of it but it really didn't matter
"Summer, may I speak to you?" I ask. She faces me and nods; I break off from Amber and Jet slightly so they couldn't hear us.
"Ok, I have a question, what do you think about all of us, please give me your honest opinion, I will know if you don't." I say, she looks a little nervous at this point.
"I-I don't know…" She says looking away from me.
I sigh. "Please don't lie." I say trying to be friendly.
She whimpers slightly before looking down. "W-Well, I find Amber very scary, she always seems angry. I'm not too sure about you, y-you make me nervous, you seem a little… N-Not normal."
"What about Jet?" I ask her, she blushes slightly, I try to explore her feelings, and it's a little different to what I was expecting.
"Jet is the nicest person I know; he's a really good friend." She says smiling slightly, it seems she really does like Jet, but she hasn't gotten any stronger feelings for him, yet.
"It was nice talking to you, and here is something to know about Jet. While he is both clumsy and socially awkward, he has a strong sense of what's right and wrong and he loves his friends with all his heart, sorry if it sounds a bit cliché." I say before heading back towards Jet and Amber, I tap Jet on the shoulder and pull him away from the group, maybe what we were doing looked a little bit strange, but Amber never really thinks into things much.
"So, how did it go?" He asks me looking a little hopeful.
"She likes you, but beyond that there wasn't anything stronger, but I did notice something surprising, she seems to trust you more than anything or anyone else, if you keep doing nice things for her, then you should be able to easily win her over. I hope I was helpful." I say, it's been quite a while since I had a friendly conversation with Jet, and it was certainly nice to chat with him. We connect with the group again and we carry on for the rest of the day, talking and calming Amber down every time she got mad at the game she was playing, what is apparently called Explorers of Sky, Amber has already tried to destroy it on multiple occasions, and failing, according to Jet it was pretty much unbreakable, that's why he got it for her. It wasn't long before the sun was setting and we all needed a break, everyone was tired and hungry.
"Time to eat." Jet says giving everyone a berry mix of some kind, we were beginning to run a little low on food, everyone ate while talking with each other, Jet was acting normally around everyone, he really isn't as awkward as he thinks, it could easily be mind games that make him think and act like that.
After we all finish, we all begin to go to sleep, Jet slept about 5 metres away from the fire and Amber slept on it, Summer seems to like staying up late, and even then she's quite the early riser.
"You ok Summer?" I ask, I was really surprised at the thing she asked me next.
AN: Please stop, that was long but the tune was perfect for the situation, casual and light hearted.
(Summer's POV)
I had been thinking about this for quite some time, and I really need to tell Jet.
"You ok Summer?" Leon asks me.
"Leon, please could you put me and Jet into a joint dream? I need to tell him something…" I ask him, he simply nods and asks me to go to sleep, I close my eyes and fall into slumber, I appear in what looks to be a grassy field, Leon appears next to me and then Jet was here, he looks at us blankly before poking me and then picking me up, I blush like crazy.
"This dream is very realistic?" He says putting me down, he then tries to poke Leon before he stops, rises into the air then falls, he then gets up, looks at the both of us with a face of horror before blushing furiously,
"You're real, ain't ya…" He says, we simply nod and he proceeds to face palm.
"Sorry about that Summer, Leon, not used to people entering my dreams randomly." He says smiling awkwardly.
"It's ok…" I say quietly, still slightly embarrassed.
"I shall be off now, as you want this private I'm guessing?" Leon says before disappearing, Jet looks at me curiously.
"You wanted to speak to me privately?" He asks me.
"Yes, I needed to tell someone, and I really trust you to keep this a secret, it's about the dreams I keep having, I had one at the hospital, but before that a voice told me some very important things, this could take us some time so you may want to get comfy." I say, Jet sits down and I begin to tell him everything, about the dreams, the voice that told me my name and telling me to head to Hitesu city, Jet listened to everything I said and when I was finished he stood up and turned around.
"Well then, only one thing to do." He says quietly, he didn't believe me, did he?
"W-What's t-that…" I stutter, slightly scared.
AN: Play Gates to Infinity Hazy Pass Remix
"We keep moving, and help you reach Hitesu city and the Luna tower." He says before smiling, he actually accepted everything I said without second thought, how could he be so trusting?
"You really believed everything I said?" I ask in slight disbelief
"Of course, why would you lie to me, you're way too nice for that." He says before pulling me into a hug. "It must have been difficult for you to have kept a secret like that; especially with everything you've being going through, I promise to help you see this through to the end." He says, I couldn't believe this, Jet really is nice, I start to cry, all he does is try and help me, never thinking about himself, how could I be so lucky.
"Hey, no need to cry, you do way to much of that, why not smile instead, it makes the people around you happy." He says picking my head up, making me look at him, I do as he says and smile at him, and he smiles back. "See, not to difficult is it?" He says before laughing a really cheerful laugh.
At that moment, everything stopped, I felt so comfortable around him, nothing else mattered, he lets me go and lies down, he tells me to join him and I do, everything then got darker as the sky turned into a beautiful scene filled with stars and planets.
"Wow…" I say in wonder.
"Leon taught me how to do this, to control my dreams, I really enjoy this sight and I'm sure you will as well, we have all night to do whatever we want." He says to me.
I simply agree with him as we relax for the night, so this is what Jet does every night, he does what he wants, I have to ask him to teach me this.
We spend the rest of the night talking and Jet showed me some really amazing sights by changing the dream, I had a wonderful time, all within Jets mind, how strange is that, I'm really lucky to have a friend like Jet, he's 1 in a million, a truly unique person. Of course Leon appeared and told us it was morning, allowing us to wake up.
AN: And stop, this was a wonderful moment to write, as Summer gets a hold of her feelings for Jet, now only one more spark is needed to push them together :)
I get up with a yawn and so does Jet, he flashes me one of his cheesy smiles and gathers his stuff, at that moment I smile slightly, and blush, I really like Jet, maybe a bit too much, everyone gets there things and we are on the move again, we continue ahead, with peace and quiet.
(Jet's POV)
The time I spent with Summer was amazing, I really do need to tell her how I feel at some point, hopeful she accepts my feelings, but we are heading to Modasa town, I could do something really big for her when I get there, I notice Amber walking up to me with a serious face, that's rare for Amber.
"Hey Jet, I just wanted to know, you like Summer, don't ya" She asks with a straight face.
"You knew…" I say grimacing slightly.
"Yeah, it's obvious, but I ain't gonna take the piss outa you, just wanted to say go for it, you deserve a good girlfriend, it should also do ya good." She says before clicking her claws together, no idea how she does that. "Oh yeah, I also wanted that device thingy of yours, wanted to check out Leon's level, see how strong he truly is." She says, I do agree with her, it would be good finding out all of our levels, I take the sensor out of my bag and activate it, it whirs a little before some numbers and names appear on screen, first was me, my level has increased to 34, Amber got to 34 as well, looks like our levels were equal now, we then take a look at Leon's and Summer's, I couldn't believe what we saw.
"Leon is level 96, holy crap, but Summer, how is she such a high level?" Amber says very surprised, I was in the same state, apparently, Summer's level was 52, way above mine and Amber's.
Me: I'm so sorry for the short chapter, but I couldn't find much else to write about, and for those who got surprised with Summer catching and ice punch, now ya know why.
Summer: I'm such a high level, I barely know any fighting though?
Jet: Wow Summer, that's amazing. *Smiles*
Summer: *Blushed* T-Thank you…
Amber: Enough soppy shit, let's end the chapter already.
Me: Fine, and by the way, I want you to ask my characters some questions, I ask anything that isn't 18+ so please either review the question or PM it to me, I will be asking 2 questions a chapter, and the beginning and the end, goodbye my fans and expect the next chapter within a week.
