"I can't believe this!" Red broke is cue stick in two.

"You lost fair and square. It's your own fault that you can't play billiard." Gold leaned against the table grinning. "And you know what happens now that you lost."

Red swore under his breath and his gaze slid to the giant Chuchu plushie that he had been trying to win for Yellow. But now he had lost the bet and he had to pay the consequences. Gold came back in carrying the dreaded thing.

"Put it on." Gold was grinning like a child.

"I got to get a picture of this." Green took out his pokegear.

"The colours are all wrong!" Ruby muttered when Red walked out of the changing room. "All those colours clashes! That outfit is ridicules!"

"It's supposed to be like that. It's a clown costume." Gold told Ruby. "And he has to wear it for a whole week."

"I'll design one for Pika too." Ruby suggested.

Red groaned. It was going to be a long week of hiding from everyone he knew.

Yellow walked down the dirt road of the forest, wondering where Red was. She hadn't seen all day and was starting to get worried.

"Stupid Gold." She heard someone muttered behind a bush. "Stupid bet. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have to hide in this bush."

Yellow parted to bush and a scream caught in her throat. It was a clown! Yellow feared them with their big nose and shoes and hands and just everything else about their attire. The white face looked up at her and the world dropped beneath her feet.

"Help me!" She ran as fast as her feet would take her, "Red!"

"Wait," she heard the clown shout. Like there was any chance of that. Yellow was so caught up in her fear that she didn't realize who was really behind the make-up.

Red chased after Yellow. Why had she run?

"Yellow, don't run!"

The nightmare was getting worst and worst! The horrid thing knew her name! Tears blinded her and she didn't know where she going, she only knew she had to get away.

"Red please help me, please!" She cried. Why wasn't he coming to save her like he did ten years ago when she was eight? "Leave me alone Mr. Clown, please!"

"Yellow you don't have to be afraid." Red ran in front of her, blocking her path.

She cringed, still oblivious to the fact that it was Red. She curled into a ball at his feet, "Please don't hurt me Mr. Clown."

Red knelt down beside her, "Don't be afraid Yellow. I'm a nice clown, see…" He held up his empty hands. When that didn't work he tried doing a funny dance to make her laugh. It didn't do him much good since Yellow's head was still buried on her knees.

Red sighed and ran his hand through his hair. Why was she afraid, it was just a clown costume?

"Clowns are evil! Gold told me so. He said that they'll hurt my friends!"

"Oh, he did, did he? And when did he say this?"

Yellow thought for a moment before answering, "Yesterday."

When Red reached for her again, Yellow flinched. "Are you evil Mr. Clown?"

"No, watch, I'll make you laugh." He stepped back and Pika, wearing a matching clown outfit, hopped onto his shoulder. Red began to juggle some berries while Pike did the same on his head.

"Two cannibals are eating a clown, when one cannibal says to the other, 'Does this taste funny to you?' "

"Why would they eat the poor man and why would you say such an awful thing?" Tears filled her eyes, "You clowns really are meanies!"

Red flinched and the berries he was juggling flew out of his hands and knocked Pika in the head.

"Pika!" Pikachu talk for 'what was that for?' The electric mouse yelped in anger. Red stumbled over his apology but Pika didn't let him finish before shocking him with a thunder bolt.

"I said I was sorry!" Red defended himself against the thunder bolt. Red and Pika both stopped fighting and stared at Yellow. She was giggling!

"So, you thought that was funny?" Red said in a mischievous voice, "Well, I think that's pretty mean of you to do, laugh at someone else's pain. You should be punished."

Yellow began to laugh harder when Red and Pika began to tickle her.

"Pika!" They all looked up to see a very angry Chuchu who thought two evil clowns were attacking her trainer.

"Wait, Chuchu no!" But Yellow was too late, Chuchu emitted a thunderbolt.

"Are you okay Mr. Clown?" She knelt next to Pika and began to heal them. She turned and scowled Chuchu, "That was very mean of you Chuchu."

"I'm sure she was just trying to protect you." Red defended, petting the Pikachu's head.

"Are you sure you're not hurt, Mr. Clown?"

"I'm fine." Red reassured her.

"You know, I know a guy with a Pikachu too but he's not a clown."

"Really?" Red grinned. "Tell me about him."

"Well…" Yellow blushed furiously, "I met him when I was eight when he saved me from a Dragonair. That was when I first fell in-"

"Hey watcha we have here?" Gold popped up from a bush, "Two love birds? Red and Yellow sitting in a tree K-I-"

"What are you doing her Gold?" Yellow jumped back when what Gold said penetrated her brain. Her face turned red and blushed even more. "Red?"

"Gold, how could you." Blue burst out of another bush, "Yellow was so close to confessing her love and I was going to have it all on tape! You ruined everything!"

"Pesky girl." Green said beside her, "How do I always let you drag me to these kinds of things?"

Yellow head was beginning to spin. This couldn't be happening. What did she do wrong to deserve this?

"SHUT UP." Everyone turned to Red, "you're making Yellow nervous."

Red turned to try to comfort Yellow but she was already running down the forest path.

"Yellow wait up!" He ran after her. This wasn't his day, the woman he loved wouldn't stop running from him.

When he finally caught up to her, Yellow was sitting by the lake, curled up like a ball. He could hear her sniffle a little. Red called out to her softly. Yellow head whipped around to see Red. He grabbed her hand when she tried to run again.

"When I was ten, I saved a little girl in the Viridian forest. I taught her about pokemon and helped her catch her very first one. I told her that even if pokemon looked scary, they're actually very friendly creatures. She was sweet and kind to everyone she knew… and that's why I always liked you a lot."

"But you would still like Blue more." Yellow took a deep breath before continuing. "I've been holding on to all these feelings for you but I know you don't feel the same. Whenever Blue flirts with you'll always blush. You like her don't…"

Before Yellow could finish her question, Red pulled her close for a long dreaming kiss.

"Tsk, tsk," Red whispered against her lips, "Do you still believe that?"

"I love you Red." She flung her arms around his neck and clung to his strength. She buried her face into his neck and inhaled the scent of freshly cut grass that was unique to him. Her most impossible dream came true; Red loved her as she loved him.

Red loved the adorable blushed that crept up her cheeks. Red had to remember to thank Gold later because he got the better side of the bet, he got to her smile.

I am so happy I was able to finish this. I guess I was kinda cruel to shock Red twice and make him wear a clown costume but wouldn't you if you had the chance?
