Happy New Year everyone! It's 2015 and that means more fanfiction. Yay….!

Alright, important announcement, Pokémon Highschool is near completion. I know…hold your tears everyone. We've still got time. I'll tell you more as time goes on.

Pridam: I know it would have been fun, but content and time constraints are a real hassle. And thanks for your wishes man! Hope you had a good one.

Itzmeal: Thanks man, it feels good to have done well. As for Darkrai's eye patch…unless a parrot lands on his shoulder, let's hope he doesn't become a pirate. I actually had written down the gift exchange in a notebook around the 22nd, and had planned for a scene with Mew, Zorua, and Growlithe. But time constraints didn't allow it. And also thank you for your wishes, I hope you had a nice Christmas and New Year.

Jacksonator (I…um…got nothing): I'm glad that I did a good job job (:P). The legendary I see myself as is Darkrai. That's why he's the main character. So can I get my cookie?

BewilderForce: Well I'm sorry to hear that. I'm assuming you're old enough to take care of yourself? My Christmas was uneventful for the most part…except for one part. *blushes and looks the other way*

BlackWolf: I wasin my room for pretty much all of Christmas. As I said, besides ONE event, it was boring.

Andy112138: Yay for fluff! Yay for comedy! Yay for everything!

Hero Lumanite: The love is intense!

Leaffeather: You don't know how satisfied I am about this.

Shadownight819: Yay! I'm popular. Those scenes are always so much fun to write. As for the numbers, I just don't like numbers in it.

Some Person: Why are you reading at 3:30? And I'll tell you what my favorite brawler is when I upload that.

Leafon51: I haven't seen your username in quite a while. Although I can't take full credit for those characters, that would go to BewilderForce. But I'm glad you like this story so much and I hope you'll stay until it's over.

FireWing270: So new and improved gallade4evr…although you're still the same so I can't use improved. Well not yet anyways. And thanks for the favorite.

ScarlettAbsol: And the waffles return. Hurray! I guess I haven't been adding a lot of god shipping.

VelociraptorCat (cool name): Thanks for favoriting and following me.

Leaffeather: I don't know why that why deja-vu, but whatever. As for the igloo thing, he doesn't exactly like contact…so maybe.

Whitewolf03: Yes it is.

TeamLegendary: Your email made me fail at my iPhone game! :l Other than that, it's going to be a bit like that. But I'll talk more about it when the time comes.

Gamergirl101 (The numbers man, the numbers…): Thanks for the fav and follow. I'm at 70 follows now!

"Darkrai! Darkrai, Darkrai, Darkrai, Darkrai, Darkrai, DARKRAI!"

The door slammed upon, "if you say my name again no one will find your body for the next month Yveltal." The Pitch Black Pokémon growled. "It's 9 in the morning on a Saturday…what's so important?"

"Something big happened and I need to talk to you about it." He said.

"I'm going to Sableye's otaku store with Zorua. Come with me and explain yourself." He sighed. "Why did I have to become sociable?"

"A bet?"

"Yah, I made one with my sister before she left for college. But now she's coming back home to visit for a while."

"What was this bet?"

"Er…um…I…I had to gi…"

"A what?"

"I have to get a gi…."

"Speak up Yveltal. I can't hear you if you don't talk normally."

"We made a bet that I'd have to have a girlfriend before she'd get back from college. I was just being cocky and irrational so I accepted." The Destruction Pokémon sighed, leaning his head against the railing. "I'd have to do whatever she says for the entire time she's here. I can't do that man."

"So you're just going to find a girlfriend to avoid that?"

"That's the problem…I can't just get a girlfriend. Ugh this is so stressful." Yveltal groaned. Darkrai opened his eye and looked at his sister staring out the window; and then at the boy he considered his best friend…since it was either him or Sableye.

"Just ask out Xerneas and make things easier." He suggested, closing his eye again. Apparently it didn't fly by the Dark/Flying type and made as flustered as any other emotional school-girl on the matter.

"W-w-why would I do that? We're just f-friends…" Yveltal blushed.

"Uh-huh….and your stuttering is just so convincing." Darkrai rolled his eyes. "It's not that hard to see, everyone knows that you like Xerneas." He explained.

"Well what about you and Cresselia? Care to comment on that?" The Destruction Pokémon retorted.

"There's a specific reason why Cresselia and I are just friends. It would not be a good idea to be anything more than that." He explain in a monotonous voice, before looking back at his friend.

"However that is not the case with you, and since you won't ask anyone else out, the artsy girl is your best bet to win the bet." The Pitch Black Pokémon explained, chuckling to himself at the pun he made.

The three entered Sableye's store, and Zorua went off to look at the merchandise while the other two talked with the owner.

"Darkrai's right, you should ask her out."

"Not you too!"

The Darkness Pokémon shrugged and grinned. "Sorry, I've seen her a couple of times; and you two would be good together."

"I-It's not like that…" He mumbled.

"Are you sure?" Sableye asked.

"Y-yes."

"Are you?" Darkrai inquired.

"Maybe…"

Darkrai and Sableye looked at each other and nodded. "You have thing for Xerneas, don't you Yveltal?"

"Yes…"

Sableye's eyes twinkled as he let out a loud cackle-like laugh, and then turned to the Tricky Fox Pokémon. "I'm in a good mood, Zorua. Take a key-chain for free."

"Arigato! Sableye-kun!"

Yveltal cleared his throat loudly. "So what should I do?"

"Simple, ask her out on a date."

"What if she says no? What if she never talks to me again? What if she laughs in my face?" The Destruction Pokémon panicked.

"Worse I've ever seen him…" The white haired boy whispered to the store owner/clerk. "Ok, how about this, just ask her for help in something, and then slowly turn it into a date. Like say you need to get something for your Martial Arts Club or whatever, and then stop at a café and grab something to eat. If it went well, ask her out for real, and if it failed miserably, pretend it never happened."

"That's a good idea. There's an art store right next to the sports store…and I do need supplies so it wouldn't be lying. This could work. Thanks, Darkrai." Yveltal grinned, relaxing himself a bit.

"He got the idea when he went on a fake date with Cresselia, she told me everything when I was preparing her for the role of Princess Tutu before Zorua's party." Sableye explained with a grin, causing Yveltal's eyes to widen in excitement and Darkrai's in fear.

"You did? Why didn't you tell me man?!"

"To avoid you annoying me about it…looks like that's no longer an option." The white hair teenager sighed. "Explain him the story while I go wash the feeling of sheer regret off my face."

When he exited the room, he saw Yveltal on the floor laughing, while Zorua tuned them out and watched an anime on the TV in the corner.

"DUDE! Not only did you kiss the girl, you even went to second base with her. For an anti-social you sure move fast!"

"Okay…first I was staying in character as her 'pretend boyfriend', and I admit that was a mistake on my part. Second off, I was blind and thought that Cresselia's…was a pillow, okay?" Darkrai sighed in annoyance.

"Well I'm feeling a little more confident about this date thing." Yveltal beamed. Suddenly Sableye's eyes lit up as he dug around in his desk and pulled out some small ear pieces. "Darkrai and I will coach you through your date, so you don't slip up and ruin your chances."

"Wait, why do I have to help?" Darkrai asked. "Since he's your friend, you need the experience for when you and Cresselia are an item…and I'll make your life a miserable hell." The Darkness Pokémon smiled innocently. "Alright…"

Sableye then turned to Yveltal and wrote something down on a slip of paper. "Here, invite Xerneas out to this location. And don't worry about pictures, I'll handle them." He explained, pulling out his camera. "I happen to be quite good at this." The Darkness Pokémon boasted, showing his collection of photographs.

"Wow, Sableye. These are really good, how'd you get so experienced?"

"I have my wa-"

"He stalks people occasionally, that's how we became friends."

The normally calm shop-keeper flushed with embarrassment at his hobby being revealed. "Y-you don't have to put it like that…you make me sound like a creeper…a-anyways I got your back on this one."

"Alright, thanks man!"

Yveltal looked at his watch and tapped the ground with his foot. Maybe it was the fast approaching summer heat, or maybe it was just the anxiety; but the Destruction Pokémon has never more wanted to throw up. He had opted out his usual attire for a red T-shirt and black shorts with his usual grey running shoes. Not exactly the best choice for a date, but then again this wasn't a real 'date', more of a way to keep his sister at bay while scoring with Xerneas.

A win-win situation, or if things went wrong, a lose-lose situation.

"Testing, testing…can you hear me Yveltal?"

"Yah, I can hear you Sableye."

"Is my voice going through?"

"It is, Darkrai."

"Alright, I spotted Xerneas making her way to you, she'll be there in about a minute or so. So look alive. Act like you've only been waiting for a little while, or something like that. It'll seem weird if you've been waiting there for a little while."

As soon as that long winded speech was over, the Destruction Pokémon felt a tap on his shoulder.

"Xerneas?"

"The hell? How'd she get there so fast?"

"I think you were looking at the wrong girl…"

"Oh that'd make sense…"

"Idiot…alright Yveltal. Compliment Xerneas on her clothes."

"Nice threads, Xerneas." He said, feeling the sense of appall from wherever Sableye and Darkrai were.

"Uhh…thanks?" She replied, a bit confused as she looked down at her light blue tunic top and short black pencil skirt.

"Idiot! She's just not some guy friend you hang on with…just repeat after me."

"Sorry, that came out wrong. I'm a bit jittery since my sister's coming back and we have this sibling rivalry going on. I meant to say that you look really nice in those clothes, they go well with each other and make you look really pretty." Yveltal mimicked perfectly, making Xerneas blush.

"That's sweet of you Yveltal. You're clothes make you look quite cool. If I might add." She smiled.

"Nice one Darkrai."

"Wasn't that difficult."

The two walked down the road, side by side. "So why'd you invite me to come with you, anyways?" Xerneas asked curiously.

"U-uh…uh…cause I thought you might need some things…and I thought it would be fun." He laughed awkwardly. "I hope you didn't have any plans."

"No not really, it's nice to get out every once in a while." She smiled.

"I guess it is."

The two arrived at their respective stores and then looked at each other. "Well, let's split up and then meet up later." Xerneas suggested. "Sounds good." Yveltal responded.

"Accompany her!" Sableye hissed through the head piece.

"Or I could accompany you." The Destruction Pokémon repeated. "You don't have to, things will be done a lot faster if we spilt up."

"She has a point…what do I say now?" Yveltal whispered.

"Ugh...repeat after me, thankfully being forced to watch anime with Zorua has an advantage, and doesn't just give me nightmares."

"Well I invited you out here, so it would be rude to just abandon you. Plus I want to see what sort of supplies you use. I'm interested in the basics of your art."

Xerneas blushed a bright red and nodded, "Let's go in then."

"Damn you're really good at this. Why aren't you with Cresselia yet?"

"Reasons…"

Yveltal stood behind Xerneas as she perused the small store, asking Yveltal on his opinion of things. Of course he had no idea about anything she was saying, so it just repeated what Sableye told him to say. He even volunteered to carry her bags, on top of the bags that he got from his shopping trip.

"I apologize to every guy I made fun of for carrying their girlfriend's bags. I realize that this is a lot of work." He murmured.

"Where to now?" She asked

"Umm…how about a café?"

"Really? This seems to be more and more like a date." Xerneas giggled.

"Ha-ha….yah…it has been." He laughed awkwardly, scratching the back of his head. "I-if this was a date…would you be enjoying it?" The Life Pokémon pondered it for a while, before taking Yveltal's hand in her own. "Well if this was a date, I'd say that I'm having a lot fun right now."

"O-oh really?"

"Yup, and I'd also say that you'd have to pay for anything I order in the café, and I'm really hungry right now."

"Oh…really?"

"Yup." She winked and dragged the boy inside.

Darkrai and Sableye dropped from the shadows, ignoring the stares they got from the passing people. "Xerneas is taking the reins, I was not expecting this." Sableye said as he polished his camera. "Got a couple good shots though."

"Really? Let me see…"

The Darkness Pokémon sat down on a nearby table and spread his shots across it. Each one looked like it was staged and perfectly taken; and Yveltal and Xerneas really looked like they were a couple. Darkrai picked one up in his pale hands and examined it, contempt with the quality. "Looks like you being a stalker is actually a good thing."

"I am not a stalker!"

"Remember the girl with the teal hair?"

"She looked a lot like Hatsune Miku! Plus she revoked the restraining order…." He mumbled. "Anyways we need disguises to get into the café. I need better shots."

"Well we don't have any disguises." Darkrai retorted. "YOU didn't bring any, but I did." Sableye grinned cheekily. "I thought something like this would happen." He followed up, pulling out a wig and a fake dress.

"Why do you have to cross-dress?" The Pitch Black Pokémon groaned.

"Just shut up and let me put on the wig."

"Ugh…friendship knows no bounds my ass…"

"Are you sure you can eat all that, Xerneas?"

"Don't underestimate me because I'm a girl, Yveltal." The artist giggled, taking a bite of her parfait and smiling at the dopamine rush she received from eating such a beautifully crafted treat. "You're not one to talk, considering that you bought three sandwiches."

"Hey…I got a big appetite." He managed to say as his covered mouth spat out pieces of dissolved bread as a result of taking a big bite out of sandwich. "I don't know how my mom managed to feed me." He joked, provoking a slight giggle from the girl.

"He's doing pretty well, maybe he doesn't need our help." Darkrai whispered to Sableye, who had put on a blonde wig and yellow sundress. "We'll stay just in case something happens." He whispered back, silently pulling out a camera and taking a couple more shots.

"It's progressing at a slow pace, so we might be here for a while." Darkrai pointed out. "Well then let's order some food and chit-chat." Sableye smirked, although it looked absolutely mortifying to Darkrai.

"Anything new in your life besides Christmas, Snuggle Mc Cuddlebuns?" The Darkness Pokémon snickered.

"How did-?!"

"Come on, Cressie comes in practically every other day, and it's not that hard to pry details out of here." The Otaku could barely hold in his laughter. "It's a good thing you give good hugs man…the difference between your life and an anime is pretty much non-existent at this point." The antisocial blushed a dark red and kept his head down. "Don't talk about it with other people."

"Hey, it's your life. Not mine, but tell me…what's the reason you're not going out with that girl?" He asked in a serious tone. "It's personal…but I do have to tell you something…or rather show you."

"What is it?"

The Pitch Black Pokémon breathed deeply and moved his eye patch to cover his right eye, revealing his bright red demonic looking eye. It had gotten much worse at this point, his pupil had become slit, and it was starting to affect parts of his skin as well. On top of that it seemed to beat, something even irregularly. An entire being was being contained in the spherical organ…lashing and roaring at a chance to escape. The boy breathed again and slid it back. "It would have been worse if it had not been for Cresselia's eye patch."

"This is beyond medical help." Sableye silently quipped.

"It's him." Darkrai explained.

"But…you said you dealt with him. That he wouldn't appear anymore."

"All the fighting I've been going through has made him resurface. I've even had to use his powers once."

"Idiot! You know what happens if you use his powers for too long. I can't separate you two if things go awry again."

"I know Sableye…I had to win, I get kicked out of school if I don't."

"It's alright man, you and Zoura can live with me."

"No use, we're so close to the end of the tournament. I'll try to tough it out…I wouldn't want to burden you. Considering your financial crisis."

"Yah…you're right."

"Let's not worry about that right now…let's concern ourselves with the fact that Yveltal and Xerneas are gone." Darkrai pointed out.

"Let's go find them!"

"Take the wig off first."

"You're joking, right?" The Life Pokémon asked in between laughs.

"Nope, and entire chair was fished right out of the water." Yveltal chuckled in fond remembrance.

"Did you keep it?"

"Well of course. We even put 'Property of the Ocean' on it."

"Wow Yveltal. That's really something." She giggled, swinging her arms back in forth.

"Well…here's your house." He said in a sad tone as he handed her the art supplies she bought.

"This was really fun Yveltal. I'm glad you invited me on this date." She smiled leaning in close to him, making him incredibly nervous. Her face was incredibly close to his, but a small devious smile crept on her face and she picked out the small device from Yveltal's ear. "Even if you were coached through most of it." She turned the device off and handed it back to him.

"How did you know?" He asked.

"As soon as you corrected yourself on your compliment, I knew you were getting help. You're not that hard to figure out." She explained.

"The thing is I made a bet with my sister a long time ago about having a girlfriend and I wanted to win it. I just didn't like anyone enough to want them to be my girlfriend. So I asked you out on the 'fake date', hoping that things would go well." He confessed. "Don't hate me."

"So you went through all of this for a bet?"

"Well that was the incentive…but I wanted it to be you. I really like you Xerneas."

She stared at him in disbelief and then shook her head, but before Yveltal could sink into depression she let out a small laugh. "It's a good thing you're cute." She said before grabbing the neck of his shirt and pulling his lips to hers for a short moment, although it seemed to go on forever.

When she let go of Yveltal, he looked completely mesmerized. "I like you too, Yveltal. Always have, always will."

As the artist walked back to her house, she turned back to Yveltal. "Tell that sister of yours that she'll be able to meet your girlfriend on the weekend." She said, blowing a small kiss towards the boy.

Damn! Xerneas has got the moves! You thought it was Yveltal but it was really XERNEAS!

I'm actually really proud of this chapter…there's a significant jump in the plot. Yveltal and Xerneas are now canon!

Well there's nothing else to say…so I'll say goodbye.

Goodbye! Don't forget to follow/favorite/ review!
