Silver's P.O.V. (WARNING: May contain hinted Choosen & Viridianshipping depending on how you view this chapter!)

"Silver?!?"

I watched Blue hurtle forward, past the brunette who had opened the door. Immediately, she flung her arms around my neck, pulling me into a tight hug.

"Silver!" she cried out again.

"Hey Blue." I patted her awkwardly on the back. Looking over her shoulder, I saw the others who had been behind her come in. The last one through the door who shut it was the guy I had seen before over the phone.

Carefully, I pushed Blue away. She smiled at me, wiping at the corner of her eye. Wordlessly, I handed her a handkerchief. She took it and dabbed at her eyes.

"I'm glad to see you Silver," Blue finally said.

"I'm glad to see you too," I replied truthfully. For the past two weeks that Blue had been gone, I had become even more reclusive than usual.

"Eh-hem!" Blue and I turned to see who had coughed. A guy my age wearing a yellow and black cap backwards smirked at us. "So who's your little pal, Blue?" I bristled angrily at how informally he had addressed her. Blue, sensing this, placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Guys, this is Silver. Silver, these are my housemates."

They eyed me uncertainly as I stared back, just as uncertain. Finally, a girl, also my age, with pigtails stepped forward, hand outstretched. "Hi, Silver, I'm Crystal."

I nodded, shaking her hand. The boy who had first spoken to Blue, butted in as soon as our hands touched. "And I'm Gold!" He pushed Crystal's hand away and forced his own hand into mine. He then gave me a glare. I blinked in surprise, but shook his hand.

Done, Gold stepped back, standing closer to Crystal than he had before. I looked at both of them, wondering. Was there something going on between them?

Before I could think about them any further, another figure stepped forward. It was a blonde girl, shorter than me, with her hair pulled back into a high ponytail. "Um…I'm Yellow. It's nice to meet you!" she said, offering her hand shyly to me.

I smiled trying to ease Yellow's nervousness. I knew that my appearance (after all, not many people had silver eyes) tended to frighten some people. Yellow relaxed slightly, giving me a small smile of her own. We continued to shake hands for a little longer than was probably necessary.

"I'm Red. Any friend of Blue's is a friend of mine," put in a boy behind Yellow. She let go of my hand, face pink. I shook Red's hand, slightly uncomfortable at the way he was eyeing me. When he stepped back, he stood next to Yellow. Again I wondered about their relationship.

Next, the girl who had come in before Blue approached me. "I'm Sapphire. You can call me Sapph I guess." She shrugged, offering her hand. I shook it, surprised at how hard and calloused it was. Sapph backed away as the boy beside her came up.

"I'm Ruby. Nice gloves," he commented, looking at the gloves that were hanging out of my pocket.

"…Thanks." I looked down at them as I shook Ruby's hand, finding it slightly odd that a guy was interested in clothes.

As Ruby stepped back, I realized the only person left was the guy I had seen when talking to Blue on the phone. He waited for a minute, before coming forward. "Green." He offered his hand, bored expression intact.

I took it, gripping it as hard as I could. For some reason this guy annoyed me. Green's eyes widened slightly as he tightened his grip. I did as well. I could feel some tension begin to build as I stared him down, trying to break his hand.

"Ok guys!" Blue interrupted, clapping her hands loudly. We let go, still glaring at one another. Blue came over, blocking my view of Green and gave me another hug. "So how come you're here Silver?"

I smiled. Typical Blue to wait so long before asking why I came. "I'm here to visit you of course."

"Visit?" Blue repeated. She pouted. "And I thought you were here to attend K.E.P.A."

"Well, looks like you guys have some stuff to catch up on. See ya later!" Gold interrupted again, dashing off. I glared at his retreating back and lack of manners. The others excused themselves, Yellow offering me another smile and Green a cold glare as they left.

"Well Silver, want to see my room?" Blue said, huge grin on her face. I nodded. "Come on!" She grabbed my hand, pulling me up the stairs. I grinned, happy to see Blue again.

-in Blue's room-

"Isn't it great?"

Blue spun around in a wide circle, before stopping and looking at me in anticipation. I smiled. "Yeah Blue, it is."

She cocked her head. Her smile fell away; a small frown replacing it. "Look Silver…I'm sorry…"

"What are you sorry for?"

"I dunno…" Blue shrugged. "For leaving you at Sevii while I came to this fancy school…" She looked even more downcast. I placed my hand on her shoulder and Blue looked up in surprise.

"Blue, I told you before. You've always placed me before yourself. I want you to be happy and…I can tell that you're pretty happy here."

Blue looked up, a slightly disbelieving look on her face. I raised an eyebrow, waiting for her response. "Fine, fine," she sighed. She sat down on her bed and patted the spot next to her. Quietly, I sat down.

"So what are things like here?" I asked.

"Well…"

Green's P.O.V.

"So, have you made any friends here?"

Once again, I found myself standing in front of Blue's room door. I was curious to find out who this Silver guy was to Blue. He seemed pretty important, but who exactly was he?

Blue giggled. "Of course! All the girls downstairs are my friends here."

"What about the guys?"

Blue paused, as though thinking about her response, before replying carefully. "Well, I don't know them too well, but I know Ruby makes cool clothes, Gold's pretty funny, and Red's really nice…" I detected a wistful tone as she trailed off.

"You like him don't you?" Silver asked sharply. Obviously, he didn't miss a thing either.

I could practically see Blue blush. "Silver!" This time, Silver didn't say anything, but I had a feeling that he was giving Blue a skeptical look. "Ok fine…" she sighed. "Maybe a little crush. But just a little one!"

"Aren't Red and Yellow dating?"

I blinked, slightly surprised. This kid was quick at picking up small details. For the past few days, I had noticed Red and Yellow getting closer. I listened for Blue's answer. "No!" Blue sounded a little angry at Silver's question. "What made you think that?"

There was a slight shifting noise. (I got the impression that Silver had just shrugged.) "No reason."

"Good," Blue said firmly. Then, "Oh, I know! You like Yellow, don't you Silver? You're jealous that Red and Yellow might be going out, aren't you?"

"What? N-no!" Silver stuttered out nervously. I shook my head. Even though I didn't like this guy, I felt sorry for him. Blue was always asking awkward questions. That pesky girl… "So are the others dating?" he asked, in an attempt to change the subject.

"Um…" (I heard Silver sigh in relief that Blue had moved on.) "I don't think so," Blue said. "But I think that there might be something going on between Gold and Crys, and Ruby and Sapph seem to have this whole "hate" thing going on."

I stepped back, about to walk away, not interested in any gossip about relationships. Suddenly, Silver spoke. "Hey Blue. I noticed you didn't say anything about Green."

Now, I froze. There was a heavy silence as Silver and I waited for Blue to say something. "Green?" Blue repeated as though it was the first time she'd ever heard this word. "Green is…different," she finally said carefully.

"What do you mean, different?"

There was a sigh, followed by a muffled "thump-!" (Probably Blue falling back onto the bed.) "I dunno…he's really weird." I frowned. Weird? Blue continued. "Not in a bad way! It's just… he's really cold and distant sometimes…kind of like you, Silver."

"Like me?" Silver sounded offended. I was equally offended.

"Yeah." My frown deepened. So Blue thought I was some kind of cold-hearted weirdo. Again, I turned around to walk back to my room, and was stopped once more by Blue's voice. "But even though Green's weird and all, I think that he's just hiding his real self. Occasionally he shows it. Then he's okay…" From her tone, I guessed that Blue was smiling.

"Oh," was all Silver said. "Oh…"

"Anyways, how are mom and dad?" Blue asked, her voice brightening.

Slowly, I walked away, a small smile growing on my face. So that was what Blue thought of me…

Blue's P.O.V.

"Hey guys!"

I smiled at everyone, in an extremely good mood. Silver nodded to everyone before sitting down next to me. He had stayed over in my room, sharing a bed, which I didn't mind. (After all, we had to back then…) Silver had also told me he'd be staying to watch the opening day of the tournaments and rooting me on. (I still didn't know which one I wanted to compete in though.)

The others were already seated and eating, as usual. Ruby was carefully slicing his ham into equally identical squares, Gold was shoveling down a bowl of cereal, Green was drinking a cup of coffee, Sapph was gobbling an omelet, Crys was reading the newspaper, and Yellow was nibbling on a piece of toast.

"Where's Red?" I asked, forking a waffle onto my plate and grabbing the bottle of syrup. Silver helped himself to an apple.

Surprisingly, it was Green who answered. "In his room."

"Why?" I began to pour syrup into each tiny square on my waffle carefully.

Suddenly, Ruby frowned, setting down his fork and knife, and stopped his perfectionist ham-cutting project. "It's today isn't it?" Green nodded and I noticed that Gold had also looked up, expression serious.

"What's today?" Crys looked puzzled as did the other girls.

There was a long pause. Finally Gold spoke. "The anniversary of Red's parents' deaths."

A/N: ...That ended on a gloomy note. Well, I think everyone guessed Silver, and as you saw, you guys were right! Unfortunately, Silver won't be attending K.E.P.A., but I threw him in for a visit for some good ole' Silver/Blue/Green time. Anyways, hope you enjoyed this little bit of Silver (there will be more), and please review!
