FIC!

The hum of legendary speech floated over the plains as the creatures moved to its center. Lanterns, pale orange, yellow and pink and suspended in the air by psychic energy, washed the soft green grass in their pale, gentle glow, giving a homely and comfortably feel to the atmosphere. As the legendaries started to flock towards the area where the most of the glowing spheres were located, and where a huge fire burned.

Groudon and Kyogre, having been the first there after the scene on the beach, chatted quietly about nothing in general. If it hadn't been from the knowledge of previous arguments, you could say that they were acting normal. They had already said as much as they could that actuallymeant something, and all words paled in comparison to things that had just been spoken an hour prior. Now they simply talked about what they would do when this was all over, and what would arise from it. Obviously much, and yet nothing at all.

"Well, there isn't much to do." Kyogre said, sighing contently despite her words. She was content for many reasons. One happened to be the legendary resting in front of her. She gazed at him with adoring gold eyes. "Even in the fact of the Meeting and all that has come out of it, what else is there to do?"

The large land lizard paused. He was laying on his stomach, large red head resting on his claws, feeling entirely at peace with himself. "Well," he started, golden eyes holding that ever burning spark of optimism that all had linked him with, "You can always talk to me, Kyogre. Isn't that entertaining?"

The deep blue, red marked orca only laughed.

"How's that funny? I'm serious!"

Kyogre only shook her head softly. The next five minutes would be an argument, though playful, on the topic of why listening to someone rant about random things was not entertaining. Their affection, though not touchy with hugs and the like, was based off of the idea of trust, speech and arguing about their differences. That was one thing that both would never take for granted again, and that was one thing that made their love for the other possible. Both were aware of the difficulties they would face now, with the resetting and fight over the world, but they would get through it.

On the other side of the fire, Suicune, Raikou and Entei sat. The water wolf, looking content enough in her spot next to the thunder tiger, leaned against him, burying her snout into the purple cloud on his back and sighing happily. Raikou, looking a lot more regal than usual despite his clumsy and naive nature, gave a small chuckle, his long fangs glinting in the light of the flames.

"Raikou..." Suicune started, removing her muzzle from his cloud and looking at him with ruby eyes, ruby eyes that matched the flames, the same eyes that could penetrate even the toughest and yet, right now, were gentle. The tiger loved those eyes, and almost laughed when he realized how stupid he must have sounded when he commented on them earlier. "What are you going to do once the night is over?"

The tiger stared at her for a long time, purple eyes thoughtful. Then, nodding his head slowly like he was agreeing with an inner thought, he spoke, his voice low, " Anywhere, nowhere. It doesn't matter to me." his eyes lowered, like his words embarrassed him. His words tonight were extremely out of character. Tomorrow morning he would be back to his old, stupid, arrogant self, but tonight... tonight was special. The wolf next to him made it that way. "As long as I'm around you, I don't care where I am."

The legendary of the north wind gazed at him for a long time, trying to figure out if he was really serious. When it dawned on her that he was, a small smile formed on her muzzle and she nuzzle his chin, "That was surprisingly sweet. Thank you."

Entei, scowling at the fluffiness, spoke up, "It's great that you two are together and all, really. But could you keep down with the cuteness? Its making my eyes bleed."

The two ignored him and nuzzled each other again. The lion had a feeling that they were both probably too lost in their little world with flowers and hearts to listen to what he was saying. Joy, that's exactly what he needed.

"Guys! Guys...! Guuuuuuysss! Ugh, why do I bother?" the lion flopped over onto his stomach and moaned, putting his large paws over his head. Deep down, he knew it was worth it, them being together, Suicune knew best, after all. "I might as well be talking to a bunch of Luvdisc..."

Celebi and Mew, both a little off from the fire, Celebi because she was a grass type and Mew because he wanted to be with her, both leaned over a newspaper. Celebi, the one out of the two with a pen was tapping it against the paper, looking thoughtful as she attempted to figure out what the last crossword was. Mew mirrored her, his arms crossed and eyes squinted. His tail twitched here and their as he too mulled over the problem.

"Read it over again?" he asked. Celebi complied.

"'The antonym of 'apart'.'" she mumbled, the tapping quickening. She would finally be done the crossword that she had been working on since the Meeting has started. She just needed one more word... But she was stuck, and it seemed the pink feline was, too.

"How many letters?"

"Eight." she replied quietly, still deep in her musing.

The legendary cat paused, then held out one paw. His mouth moved as he silently went over a word, as if counting the letters it contained. Suddenly he paused as he finished spelling the word, and very slowly his eyes brightened. Without a thought, he grabbed the paper and pen from the fairy, before putting down the word that he pondered of.

"T-O-G-E-T-H-E-R." he said aloud, "The opposite of apart is together, Celebi!"

The fairy looked at the picture, and clear as day, it fit. The crossword, one that had kept her pondering for hours on end, was complete. Her blue eyes rose from the page and gazed at the cat, "Mew...?"

He grinned, "Yup?"

"Promise me one thing, alright?"

"Sure, Celebi. Anything."

"...Promise me..." she hesitated, her wings twitching, "Promise me that... you'll always stay with me? Forever?"

"Celebi, Celebi, Celebi..." the feline tsked, as if she was a child,"I was going to do that anyway!"

The legendary of the forest and time traveler smiled, Mew grinned back.

"Everyone is so... happy." Arceus mused softly, her gaze sweeping over the group of legendaries. Her tail twitched ever so slightly, and despite her happiness in that those she created were also happy, a small frown couldn't help but sprout on her face. "...And yet... is this good for the earth...?"

"Does it matter?"

The voice yet again surprised her, and jerking around, the fox came face to face with the satanic dragon known as Giratina. She couldn't help but relax, but kept up her 'Godly' appearance. She wanted desperately to give a smile, or an affectionate action towards him, but that would be unprofessional in front of her creations.

"Well does it?"

Her reply was quick, sharp and to the point, "Of course it does! We are nothing without Earth, Giratina." he seemed amused at this answer, and yet disappointed at the same time. He stepped closer, and the goddess refused to budge.

"You're still having trouble accepting that you love me, eh?" he barbed, though his voice held no anger or sarcasm. It was more of an ironic statement than anything. Even then, Arceus flinched at his words.

"I have to trouble accepting what I know is true..." she replied coldly. This didn't affect the smirk that was obviously on the dragons face.

"Ah, I see." he started, "Let me ask you something, oh great Arceus... Are you worried what love between legendaries will do to the earth..." he cocked his head to the side, "Or afraid of how it makes you act?"

She sighed, giving up, "Both, Giratina. Both."

He looked satisfied at herwords, "Try not to." he turned his grand head to look at the others, "And... the other's are too lost in their own little world to see you act a little out of character, Arceus." At his words, her eyes, having been orange with irritation, turned silver. She stared at him for a good three minutes before she finally smiled.

"I guess you would know. At least about being lost in your own world..."

"So why were you talking to the Regis, Rayquaza?" Latias asked sweetly, leaning against him as her golden eyes locked on his emerald face. The dragon of the sky hesitated, remembering the odd exchange he had had with the elemental robots. He still wasn't sure if he had been hallucinating, or if it had been a dream or if it had actually been true. He just didn't know. When he stated this, the eon dragon looked amused.

"Oh? You don't seem like one to act spontaneously." she teased lightly, nuzzling her head into his neck. She was happier than she had ever been, and it even matched with when she found out that her brother wasn't dead. This night was going to be one to remember, one when she didn't have to worry about her duties to Altomare or the pressure of being a legendary.

"Yeah, I guess not. That was just a really weird day..." Weird didn't explain it in the least. "... but... well... it turned out well."

"Yes," Latias giggled, her golden eyes bright against the flames. Her white and scarlet feathers shifted in the breeze like a downy tide, and when she spoke her voice was tinged with humor and wisdom. "It did."

The emerald legendary gazed into the fire, his golden eyes closing half-way, "Latias... Do you think we'll be together forever?" the question was a whimsical one. One that managed to make the female pause. Then, knowing that she had the perfect words to say and ease his thoughts, she spoke.

"Forever is a long time..." she mused, sighing. These words made him tense slightly, but her next set made him relax again, "And yet such a short time should death come. Forever is only as long as one is alive, Rayquaza. I'd like to think we will be together, even in death."

The dragon turned his head to looked at her, his emerald tail twitching ever so slightly in his pondering. Finally he spoke, and his voice, soft and happy and grateful, floated through her ears, "You know... I think that that sounds like an excellent idea..."

The eon dragon only smiled before falling silent again. They would need no more words to explain how they felt that night. The other's presence was enough.

"Dialga, that was cruel and unusual." the dragon of spacial convections muttered, trying his best to remove the lipstick from his scaled hide. He'd be scarred for life because of her, and because of the Jinx that had attacked him with hell's fury of Sweet Kisses. He shuddered at the memory of it.

He flopped down onto his stomach next to the dragon of time and sighed. She was silent, and her ruby eyes stayed locked against the starry, navy blue sky. Her long blue tail twitched in her ponderings and her steel spines glinted in the fire's light. Seeing that she wasn't going to talk, Palkia also fell silent.

"Did you mean it?"

Her words startled him out of his thoughts. He glanced up to look at her. She was looking down at him, her red eyes blank and snout holding a flat frown. Palkia gave her a confused look, "Mean what?"

She took a deep breath, like she was holding herself back from beating the crap out of her counterpart. "Do you mean... what you said earlier?" her voice was deadly now, and the other dragon had a feeling of doom. He finally figured out what she meant.

"When I said I love you?"

She nodded.

"Of course I did! Why would I say it if I didn't mean it, Dialga?" he cocked his head to the side, the pearls on his shoulders glinting in the warm light of the flames. He was surprised that the steel type was so close to the flames, but she must have been used to it by then.

"You could have been sarcastic." she snapped.

"Dialga," he gave her an amused look, like the whole conversation was a joke, "You and I both know I'm not smart enough to do something like that."

There was a pause.

"I guess that's true."

He nodded, "Yup. Now that that's all settled, want to go get something to eat? I'm starved!" at this, his stomach gurgled. Dialga gave him an odd look before slowly nodding. Sometimes she couldn't help but question her sanity for loving him, but at this point she didn't give a damn.

Meanwhile, Darkrai and Cresselia were having a heated conversation about nothing in general. Like Kyogre and Groudon they were opposites, which meant they took enjoyment in proving the other wrong.

"But still, why would you need a tail?" the swan questioned, her ruby eyes half confused half accusing. To her, it was a good question, one that she had been musing over ever since she had found out about the dark types tail. "I mean, you aren't going to wag it like a dog, are you?"

The dark type looked annoyed, "Can we please stop talking about my tail, Cresselia? How the hell should I know? I didn't create myself!" At his outburst, Cresselia quirked. She was winning the battle that never made sense in the first place.

"Oh? So now you're telling me that you don't even know what your own self is for? Nice."

"Yes! Wait, no. I..." he stopped, then pointed to the lunar legendary's buzzing wings. At his pointing, the crescent shaped plasmic slices buzzed and flashed even more so. "How about you? What are those wings used for if you don't need them to fly?"

She smirked, "Do you remember the trees?"

There was a pause.

"Point taken."

Cresselia smiled, her tone taking a different shape as she pondered over her words. "I guess it isn't a bad thing, though..." the dark type looked suspicious at her words. The bird continued, "I mean... it makes you a lot more unique, I suppose. And... it ruins that 'tough' image you're so big on putting up."

Darkrai tilted his head to the side, "Well, sure."

The swan looked at him for a long time, "Darkrai, do you think its a good idea to be together?" she questioned, her purple, magenta and pink wings glowing softly against the fire. She really didn't know. She knew a lot of things, but for once she wasn't sure.

"Well, Cresselia. I can't say it's a good idea..." her ruby eyes fell at his words. He continued, putting one clawed hand against her cheek. She smiled. "But I can say that its the best idea on Earth."

There was a soft call from Arceus and all of the legendaries looked up. The goddess fox, her eyes dark green and surveying the group, looked please, "Another Meeting has come and go. I cannot say it was smooth, but it was... enlightening." at this she glanced at Giratina, whom was at her side. "Before this we were so apart, and now we our ties are stronger. I'd like to give a toast."

During this short speech, Jirachi had been handing out glasses for all to take. After Moltres had accidentally spilled his drink onto Entei's head, Manaphy held it for him. Arceus gazed at everyone evenly, "Those who have something to acknowledge may do so."

Raikou timidly stood up, Suicune at his side. Then, his psychic energy as smooth and careful as ever, he raised his cup, "To being sick off of milk!" Only Suicune got the joke, and she laughed softly. This brought on cheers from others, and soon Groudon and Kyogre raised their own glasses.

"To arguing!"

Celebi and Mew both glanced at the other before nodding. They stood up, "To crosswords!" they both said at the same time. They sat back down as Rayquaza and Latias raised their glasses. Latias held one of Rayquaza's claws and very slowly spoke.

"To odd days!"

Darkrai and Cresselia glanced at the other before mirroring the others. Unlike the others, Darkrai put one arm around the swans shoulders and raised his glass with the other, "To tails!" This brought on a lien of laughter from the two and odd looks from the other legendaries.

Palkia and Dialga both exchanged looks. Then, standing up, they smirked. "To insults and compliments!"

"To..." Arceus stammered. Girantina put one black wing over her in a comforting motion, and she swallowed, then spoke. Her voice was strong, despite the time it had taken her to say the next words. "To failed attempts and always trying again! Always!"

Everyone nodded. Then, Mew, standing on top of Groudon's head and raising his paw, posed like a superhero. "Let's cut to the chase guys! Repeat after me! TO US!"

"TO US!" everyone cheered, all who had arms holding them to the sky. All legendaries, from Shaymin to Dialga laughed and cheered for the main reason of their existence. And they were so happy because they finally understood what mattered the most.

Meanwhile, up in the hills, Registeel watched the ruckus with some sort of sinister glint in her eye. She folded her arms, flashed her eyes and spoke. "Now that they are all busy with their little romances we'll have enough time to take over the world without them noticing!" she gave an evil, maniac laugh before being cut off by Regice.

"Um, Registeel...?"

The steel type turned around, her black arms crossing, "What now?"

The ice type looked nervous, if that was possible. His yellow eyes flashed, "Well... You know how you're planning on taking over the world tonight...?"

"That was the idea, yes."

"...Um... don't you think you should wait... a little longer...?"

"And why would I do that?" she asked dangerously, red eyes flashing. The ice type paused before speaking again.

"Well... You want me and Regirock to help... obviously..."

"Yes. Is that a problem?"

He twitched his transparent arms, his way of shrugging, "Y-yes, it is... because..." he trailed off.

"... because...?" she inquired.

"...Lost... the first episode of Lost is on tonight at nine."

The steel type felt like slamming her face multiple times against a rock wall. It probably wouldn't have done very much, actually more to the wall than her armor, but it was the thought that counted. "It is. Don't you have Tivo?"

"No." he said, "And don't you think that you should let the others have more than a night to be unaware of the chaos you're planning? Don't you think its only fair? I mean, do you really need to take over the world tonight? Do you even want an entire world?" his words were quick, and the steel type barely manged to keep track.

She paused.

"Wouldn't you rather spend tonight with Regirock and me, watching T.V instead of out here?"

Registeel slowly started to nod, "I guess... but only on one condition..."

He looked excited, "What?"

"Please explain to me what the hell is going on, alright? I can never understand what the damn hell they're trying to hint in that show!" at this, her eyes flashed brightly.

"Deal!"

The steel type female twitched her arms, "Good." she sighed, gazing at the legendary couples. That could be her, happy like that giant green snake and small, naïve eon dragon. That could be her, like Raikou and Suicune or Darkrai and Cresselia...

"Are you ready?"

Registeel turned to Regice. She could leave the other legendaries to their happy little party and romantic quips for now. Taking over the world could wait another night. But wait, just wait next Meeting, when something new would be there. Something that Raikou and Suicune and Groudon and Kyogre and other couples had already discovered. She just didn't know it yet.

"Yes."

END...

I thought I'd end it with a bit of Registeel Regice fluff, because that's the Challenge right now... Well, readers... that's the end. Thank you all that reviewed and supported this fic! I guess that's all... Well, good-bye! This is one story to add to the complete fics. Thank to the infinite power!
