Theme: "Why?"
"Why?"
Blue stopped walking and turned half way. She raised an eyebrow at Green, who stood motionless a few feet behind her.
"Why what?"
Green didn't answer right away. To any stranger, he looked like he was frowning, but Blue knew better. His face was a mix of contemplation and slight frustration.
"Why are you here?"
Blue held back a snort. "I just asked you if you wanted to go for ice cream five minutes ago. I'm here because a certain triple fudge brownie scoop has my name written all over it." She started to turn around, but Green's voice stopped her.
"I didn't mean the ice cream. I meant why are you here at all," Green corrected. "You have a family back on Sevii Islands. The same one you've been looking for, for the last some odd years, but you're still here in Pallet Town and not at home… Why?"
Blue looked at the ground and then off to the side, away from Green. She looked at the field of green grass and flowers that led right up to the pretty green hills that Pallet Town was proud of.
She thought she had made it perfectly clear why she was here or at least thought he was smart enough to figure the answer out himself. Honestly, Blue didn't think he was that dense.
They had spent years together; he should have known why she was still here.
"You're an idiot, Green," she said softly before turning away to continue walking. "I am home."
