I walk through the halls of the pokemon center to Leaf's room. Hmph. Well, at least he didn't kiss her. Huh?! Hey Green! Don't even think about it! Thoughts of my dream roll by in my head. Ugh...why me? Okay, get it together Green. I take a deep breath as I make it to her room. I can't do this!

Just as I'm about to leave, Leaf opens the door to the room. Busted. Oh my gosh. I turn my head to her. She's wearing a blue nightgown with little pokeball icons on it. Uhhhhhh. She looks kinda cute. What the?! What is wrong with me?! Once I get my barings strait, I ask her to come with me to the edge of the city to talk. She looks at me with a curious look, and agrees.

Leaf tells me to wait while she changes back into her other clothes, then disappears inside. She comes back out in her regular green shirt and pink skirt, then head off.

(At the Edge of Eterna City)

Okay Green...take it easy. It's not that bad. You're just at the edge of Eterna with the girl of your dreams! I can't take it anymore! My body grows tense and I begin to tremble. Leaf notices this and puts her hand on my shoulder thoughtfully. Oh gosh! My tempurature rises by degrees.

I look down at Leaf, who looks back at me and blushes. Is She Blushing?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! You cannot be serious! You just can't. See! I knew it! She does like me! Like I said at the beginning of my journey! I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!

My face turns bright when she all of a sudden jumps into my arms. I can feel her hands clenched against me. The black shirt I'm wearing is getting dreanched in her tears. I stroke her fine hair as she keeps crying. My hands slip around her waist, pulling her closer to me, offering comfort.

She looks up. Her eyes stop tearing. Those lovely ocean eyes of hers soften at my actions. My forest green eyes stare back. Our faces get closer, eyes still open. Just like my dream.

"Green," she moans my name then closes her eyes.

She's...so...young...and pure...

"Leaf," I call back.

My heart is racing with excitment. The joy I'm feeling. And my first kiss! From my old rival! (Hint-Hint)

"Leaf...my Leaf..."

Our lips touch in a tender kiss. Oh Leaf! I wish I could have told you sooner. I don't want to be your rival. I want us to stay like this forever! Leaf doesn't seem to want to let go, so we stay this way for a bit longer. We break away for air. ( The song Break Away by Kelly Clarkson plays and people are waving candles) Just kidding!

I smile at her, saying that we should go back to the pokemon center. She agrees and takes my hand. Just us. Together. But wait a minute! What about Aaron? I stop in my tracks, causing Leaf to notice.

"Hey Leaf...Aaron told me about...well, you know," Leaf begins to blush again.

"He, told you?" she asks me in her low toned voice.

"Yes..." I tell her about what happened before we met up in Floaroma. You know, about what happended when Aaron and I met. She listens carefully to my words as tears form at her eyes.

"I-I'm sorry," I walk back to the pokemon center, leaving Leaf heartbroken.

She brings her hands up to herself and clenches them as more tears form at her eyes. I think I can here her gentle mumble, crying out to me. It makes me feel so ashamed that I have to do this. My one chance...burned to bits. My heart blazes at the thought. There's a connection. I can feel Leaf's pain as I move farther away from her reach.

I call out to her, "Leaf! Forgive me!"

I don't want to hurt you. Let alone see you feel this way.

Well, it's for the best. I don't want to see a girl heartbroken. But I don't want to see a good friend turn against me. Leaf. Aaron.
