-Chapter 26, Nina's first day of school-

Just a week after her birthday, it came time for Nina to go to school.

We had gone to bed early the night before, as we had to get up early to get Nina ready. As expected, it was a busy morning.

Phoebe:"Come on Nina, you need to be there by 9:00am."

-tiredly- Nina: "It's 7:30..."

Phoebe :"I know, but you need time to get ready, and it takes awhile to get there."

Phoebe:"Go take a shower, I'll get you some clothes."

-tiredly- Nina: "-sighs-, ok..."

She headed upstairs to the bathroom, while Phoebe headed to the basement, I was in the kitchen, making waffles, and Charley was still asleep in his room upstairs. Phoebe and I were hoping he'd stay asleep for awhile.

After Nina got out of the shower, she got dressed, then Phoebe spent a little extra time brushing her hair out and what not before they finally came downstairs for breakfast.

-on the way down the stairs-

Phoebe: "Nina your father is taking you to school today, I have to stay home with Charley."

Nina: "Awwwwwe..."

Phoebe: "Maybe I'll take you tomorrow though, ok?"

Nina: "Ok."

Phoebe:"Now let me see your purse..."

Nina: "Why?"

Phoebe: "I have to make sure you're not trying to sneak any of your pokemon in."

Nina: "Awweee."

She pulled a few pokeballs out of her purse. Phoebe went and bought one for her a few days ago so she wouldn't have to use her powers to carry things around, as most of her clothes didn't have pockets, we also got her a few general school supplies, pencils, paper...etc...

Phoebe: "Just leave them home for today sweety."

Phoebe: "Maybe you can bring them some other time, but not today."

Nina: "-sighs-, ok."

Phoebe: "And try not to lose your purse, I know you're not used to carrying one, but, you'll get more attached to it with time."

Nina: "Ok mom."

Phoebe:"Now come on, your father made breakfast."

-at the dining table-

Me: "You ready for today Nina?"

Nina: "I don't know."

Me: "Look sweety, I don't think you'll be going there for very long, but try to make the most of it ok?"

-sincerely- Me: "Because once it's gone, I can guarantee you that you'll miss it."

Phoebe :"Awe...Cj..."

Phoebe:"Doesn't she look pretty?"

Phoebe:"I spiffed her up myself..."

-awkwardly- Me: "Yeah...she...she looks great...you did good sweety.."

Nina: "Thankyou daddy."

-awkwardly- Me: "uh huh."

Phoebe: "See Nina, I told you..."

-cutely- Nina:" Mhmmm."

Phoebe: "Well, it's almost eight'o'clock, you should leave soon."

Me: "Yeah I know."

Me: "Come on sweetheart, let's get going."

Nina: "Ok."

I got up, kissed Phoebe on the cheek, and headed out of the room.

Me: "See you later baby girl."

Phoebe; "See you."

Nina got up, and gave her mother a hug.

Nina: "I love you mom."

Phoebe: "I love you too sweety."

Phoebe: "Be good, and don't break any rules ok?"

Phoebe: "I want you to tell me everything that happens when you get home."

Nina: "I will."

Phoebe: "Good."

Phoebe: "Now get going, your father's ready to leave."

I was already in the car when Nina came out the front door and got in beside me.

Me: "You ready to go?"

Nina: "Mhm."

Me: "You got everything you need?"

-unsure- Nina: "Um..."

I saw Phoebe come out the door, with Nina's purse and another bag of school supplies.

Me: "No..you don't."

-shyly- Nina: "Sorry."

I rolled down the window.

Phoebe: "Nina sweety you should be more careful."

Nina:" I'm sorry."

Phoebe: "It's allright, I caught it in time."

Phoebe: "Goodbye sweety...and good luck."

Nina: "Goodbye."

She placed her supplies on the seat, I put the window back up, and pulled out of the driveway.

Me: "You realize how close that was?"

-solemnly- Nina: "Yeah...I know..."

Me:"Look, this is your first day, so just take it slow and easy, everyone else will be doing the same."

Me:" And keep track of your stuff ok? It costs money."

Nina: "I know."

Me:"Don't worry Nina, it will get better, you just need to get used to it."

Me: "I'm sure you'll be adjusted by the end of the week."

Nina: "I hope so."

Nina: "I'm so tired."

Me: "Yeah well, like I said, you'll adjust."

Eventually we made it through the portal and into Goldenrod, arriving at her new school about an hour later, as expected the school was now very busy, with cars pulling into the lot, and a handful of city busses lining up to let people off.

Nina: "That's a lot of busses."

Me: "Yep, looks like it's open today."

Me:"Get your stuff gathered up."

I pulled ahead of the busses and found a place to drop her off.

Me: "Ok Nina, stay out of trouble, and we'll be back to pick you up this afternoon, ok?"

Nina: "Ok."

Me:"Ok then, goodbye sweetheart, I'll see you later."

Nina:"Goodbye."

I made sure she had all her stuff with her before pulling away. I was a bit worried about her, but she was ready, and she needed to learn how to be on her own.

I arrived back home about an hour later. It was now about 10:00am, and when I entered the house I found Phoebe snuggling with Charley on the couch.

-playfully- Me:"Awe...Charley is up?"

Phoebe: "Mhm, he woke up shortly after you left."

-cutely- Phoebe:"I fed him a waffle and now he just wants to be held."

Me:"Ok."

I gave her a kiss and then sat down next to her.

-softly- Phoebe:"Charley...your daddy's here."

-softly- Me:"Hello."

-softly but happily- Charley:"Gamawee...dahwy...gamawee"

Me:"Hehe, goodmorning Charley."

-lovingly- Phoebe:"Your birthday is comming up soon isn't it sweety?"

-unsure- Charley: "Cawey dunno."

Phoebe: "-giggles-, you're almost a year old."

-cutely babling- Charley:"Cawey dunno mawa ses awl tie.."

-delighted- Phoebe:" -giggles- That was pretty good Charlie."

-delighted- Me:"You'll learn someday."

Me:"So Pheebles, what do you want to do while Nina is at school?"

Phoebe:"I don't know, maybe we can take Charley outside and work with him for a little bit."

Phoebe: "But we need to wait until whenever he wants down again, it shouldn't be too much longer."

-curious- Me: "Is he in a good mood?"

Phoebe: "He seems to be."

-unsure- Charley: "Cawey ses..."

Me :"What do you say?"

-cutely- Charley: "Cawey no ses aythee.."

Me: "oookaaaayyy."

-imitating me- Charley :"ooooo-Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy."

Me: "Hehehe."

-playfully- Phoebe :"You're going to be silly today aren't you?"

-happily- Charley:"Seewee!"

Me:"Looks like it."

Charley:"Cawey wa dow!"

Phoebe: "-sighs-, ok."

Phoebe: "You want to go outside first?"

Charley: "Cawey dunno."

Charley:"Cawey wa dow!"

Phoebe: "Ok then let's go outside, come on Cj."

She got up, slipped on her shoes and took Charley outside, I followed her out just a moment later.

We went around to the backyard where she set Charley down on the grass.

Phoebe: "Ok Charley, why don't we work on your teleporting some more?"

Charley: "Cawey no wa telpo..."

Last time she removed his bracelet he got confused and couldn't stop teleporting until he tired himself out, because of this he had been somewhat afraid of teleporting since then. He was so close to figuring it out though, he just needed to learn a few more things.

Phoebe:"Ohhhh Charley, you'll get used to it."

Phoebe:"Don't worry about it, you'll be fine."

Charley: "Cawey wa dahwy, Cawey no wa telpo."

Me:"But I want you to practice for a little bit."

Phoebe: "See Charley?"

-calmly- Phoebe:"Here, hold still, let me remove your bracelet."

She managed to take his bracelet off, allowing him to teleport.

He teleported a few feet away from her, towards me, he still couldn't teleport very far yet.

Phoebe: "There you go."

-upset- Charley:"Cawey no wa!"

Phoebe :"Oh you're fine."

He made it over to me, and then kept teleporting around me uncontrollably.

He wanted to stop, but he didn't know how, he was already quite upset.

-upset- Charley:"Cawey no wa!"

-playfully- Me: "Awee ...you made him cry."

-playfully- Phoebe: "Well, he has to learn Cj."

Me: "I guess so."

I tried to pick him up.

Phoebe: "Here Cj, when you catch him put his bracelet back on."

Me: "Right."

She threw his bracelet over to me.

I watched Charley teleport around for awhile, before finally catching onto his pattern and managing to catch him.

I picked him up, and quickly slid his bracelet back on, he was very upset.

-loudly crying- Charley: "Daaaahwhyyyyyy..."

-crying- Charley: "Cawey no waaaa telpo..."

-calmly- Me: "Shhh..it's allright, I got your bracelet back on..."

I held him for awhile, and eventually he settled down.

-caringly- Me:"You're scaired aren't you?"

Phoebe: "He wasn't when we first started training him."

Me:"I guess it's just cause he realizes now that he doesn't know how to stop."

Phoebe: "Maybe."

She came over to me.

Phoebe:"Charley are you ok?"

-somewhat defensively- Charley: "Cawey no wa mawa Cawey wa dahwy..."

-somewhat defensively- Charley: "Cawey no wa telpo...Mawa wa cawey telpo... Cawey wa mawa go way..."

-sincerely- Phoebe: "Ok fine..."

She headed towards the house.

-surprised- Me:" What the? REALLY?"

Me: "Where are you going?"

Phoebe:"Stay there."

-annoyed- Me:"Pheebles!"

Charley: "Whe mawa gowee?"

Me: "I don't know..."

-loudly- Charley: "MAWA!"

-upset- Charley: "CAWEY WA MAWA!"

He started to cry again.

-very annoyed- Me: "-sighs-."

He cried uncontrolably, I had to set him on the ground because my ears could not take anymore of his screaming. He continued to cry until Phoebe finally came back outside.

She picked him up off the ground, Charley quickly calmed down after that.

-relieved- Charley: "MAWA!"

She kissed him on the cheek.

-annoyed- Me: "What the hell was that?"

Phoebe: "I wanted to prove a point..."

Me:"To our son?"

Me: "Who is a baby?"

Phoebe: "Mhm..."

Me: "While leaving me out here to suffer permanent hearing damage?"

Phoebe:"Oh don't be silly...you're fine..."

-still annoyed- Me: "You think he actually understood that?"

Phoebe: "I don't know."

-lovingly- Phoebe: "See Charley, you do want me..."

Phoebe: "You goofball."

-annoyed- Me: "-sighs-."

-sincerely- Phoebe: "I'm sorry..."

-still annoyed- Me: "Whatever..."

Phoebe: "Let me talk to Charley for a little bit..."

Me: "Ok..."

Phoebe: "Gardevoirrrr...garrrdevoir..."

Charley: "Ralts rallllts rrrallllts rallllts raaaallllltsss."

They spoke to eachother in pokemon for a quite a few minutes. It drove me crazy as I didn't understand what either of them were saying. Phoebe seemed to be happy, so it appeared Charley was cooperating. Eventually she called me back over to her.

-unsure- Me: "What were you talking about?"

Phoebe: "I'm just trying to convince him that teleporting isn't so scary and that it's important that he learn how to control it."

Me:"Ok..."

Phoebe: "But he's still a little scaired, and doesn't want to try again right now."

Me:"So now what?"

Phoebe:"We should probably just go inside."

Phoebe:"It's starting to get hot anyway."

Me:"Yeah...it is..."

-playfully- Phoebe: "Come on Charley, you want to play with your toys?"

-cutely- Charley: "Cawey wa oswa..."

-playfully- Phoebe: "I thought so."

-playfully- Phoebe: "Let's go get him."

I followed her and Charley into the house, just a few minutes later Phoebe and I were snuggling on the couch, while Charley played with his toys on the floor. We didn't even have the tv on, we were just as entertained watching Charley play.

Phoebe:"-sighs-, this is nice."

Me:"Yeah..."

-playfully- Phoebe :"Maybe when it's time for Charley to take a nap we can have some fun..."

-playfully- Me: "...maybe."

She kissed me on the cheek.

-playfully- Phoebe:"Charleeeeeeyyyy."

Phoebe: "Whatcha doing?"

-cutely- Charley: "Oswa ses...Oswa no wa telpo..."

-somewhat surprised- Phoebe: "Oh..."

-playfully- Phoebe: "Well that's ok, oshawotts can't teleport anyway."

-unsure- Charley: "Oswa cah telpo?"

-playfully- Phoebe: "Noooo they can't..."

-unsure- Charley:"Cawey kintelpo?"

-cutely, playfully- Phoebe: "Noooo you can...you just don't want to..."

He seemed to get a bit frustrated by this.

-upset- Cawey: "mawa Cawey no wa telpo!"

-sternly- Phoebe: "Calm down Charley..."

-upset- Charley:"Mawa..."

-crying- Charley: "Cawey no waaa telpo..."

Phoebe :"I know I know..."

-calmly- Me:"You made him cry again..."

Phoebe:"You've made him cry before too."

Me:"I know..."

Me: "Here get up, I'll get him."

Phoebe: "Awe.."

I got up and picked him up, before he got even more upset.

-calmly- Me: "shhhhhh, calm down little guy."

I sat back down on the couch with him.

Me:"You don't have to teleport right now."

-calmly- Me:"So just calm down."

-upset- Charley: "Dahwyyyy...mawa wa Cawey telpo..."

-jokingly- Me:"I know, it's terrible isn't it?"

-playfully- Phoebe: "Is he telling on me?"

-playfully- Me: "I guess he is..."

-playfully- Phoebe: "-sighs-, You little goofball."

-jokingly- Me: "Don't worry Charley, I won't let her."

-jokingly- Phoebe: "Won't let me what?"

-awkwardly- Me: "Um...make him teleport?"

-jokingly- Phoebe: "I can't make him teleport silly... he makes himself teleport."

-seriously- Me: "You know what I mean Pheebles."

-cutely, but mischeviously- Phoebe:"I know."

-cutely- Charley: "Mawa kndmay Cawey telpo?"

Me: "Mhm..."

-cutely- Phoebe: "That's right."

-cutely- Charley: "Cawey luh dahwyy..."

-enamored- Phoebe: "Awwwee.."

Me :"Love you too son."

-playfully- Me: "You want back down now?"

-cutely- Charley: "Cawey wa dow..."

Me: "Ok."

I carefully set him down on the floor in front of me.

Me: "There you go, go play."

Phoebe hugged me.

-cutely- Phoebe:"Awe...Cj... that was so sweet..."

-somewhat embarrased- Me:" I just didn't want him to start screaming again..."

-sarcastically- Phoebe: "Yeah...really..."

She kissed me on the cheek again, and we returned to snuggling.

-playfully- Phoebe: "Lay down silly,...let's snuggle again."

-relaxed- Me: "-sighs- allright."

-meanwhile, Nina's perspective, at school...-

Ever since I got here my new teacher, who introduced herself as Miss Calvin, showed me into a small room, and began to give me test after test in order to "assess my abilitys" or whatever she said, if this is what school was like, I didn't like it. I knew there were other kids here, but the teacher said I wouldn't be able to see them until lunch. I've barely been here for 2 hours and I already wanted to go home, but I knew mom and dad would be dissapointed if I left.

-somewhat anxiously- Me: "How many more tests do I have to do?"

Miss Calvin:" Quite a few I'm afraid."

Miss Calvin: "Don't worry, by the end of the week we will have you in regular classes."

Miss Calvin: "But you need to complete these tests first so we can decide which ones to put you in."

Miss Calvin:"But look at it this way, atleast you won't have any homework..."

Nina: "-sighs-..."

Some of these tests were ridiculously easy, and others were...well, I don't think I got a single question right on the Johto history test, but I didn't know yet because the teacher wouldn't tell me my score. And then there was another one where they expected me to do math...with letters, you can't do math with letters...that's silly. I really just wanted to go outside and play with my pokemon. I thought mom and dad sent me here to make friends, but so far I haven't met anyone aside from my teacher.

Nina:"Will I ever be able to meet anyone else?"

Miss Calvin: "You can go to lunch with the rest of the students today, but until we get you into some normal classes, you'll spend most of the day in here with me..."

-somewhat distraught- Nina: "Really?"

Miss Calvin: "It's just for a few days, don't worry."

Nina: "-sighs-."

-back to Cj's perspective-

It was a great morning so far, we spent atleast half an hour just snuggling on the couch while Charley played on the floor below.

Me:"-sighs-, it's not even noon yet is it?"

Phoebe: "Nope..."

Me:" You want to go somewhere tomorrow?"

Phoebe: "Where?"

Me:" I don't know..."

Me:"Whirlyworld?"

Phoebe: "Maybe."

Phoebe: "I guess we can't just snuggle on the couch everyday can we?"

Me: "Nope..."

Me: "It's nice but, can't do it everyday."

Phoebe: "Mhm."

Phoebe:"I don't care as long as we're together and Charley is safe."

Me:" Ok then."

Me: "You want to go somewhere for lunch?"

Phoebe: "Sure..."

Me: "Allright."

Phoebe: "Just watch Charley for a moment so I can get a better dress."

Me: "Ok."

She headed upstairs.

After she got ready we left for Goldenrod.

Phoebe: "So where should we go?"

Me: "The usual?"

Phoebe: "Sure, why not?"

We headed to the usual place, the restaurant with the tauros sign out front, we got a high chair for Charley and sat at a small table, ordering our drinks just minutes later.

Phoebe:"It's pretty quiet in here without Nina."

Me: "Yeah...it feels weird doesn't it?"

Phoebe: "Mhm."

Phoebe: "And Charley is being pretty quiet too."

-playfully- Phoebe: "Aren't you Charley?"

-cutely- Charley: "Cawey huhwy..."

Phoebe: "Don't worry we'll get you something to eat in a little bit."

-cutely- Cawey: "Cawey wa foo..."

Phoebe: "What do you want?"

Phoebe: "Pancakes?"

-cutely- Cawey: "Ancays..."

Phoebe: "Hehe...we'll see."

Cawey: "Bahwey ancays?"

Phoebe: "Hehe, Berry pancakes?"

Phoebe: "I don't think they have those here, but we'll see."

He went back to playing with his cherished oshawott and lotad plushes. It didn't take much to keep him occupied.

Me: "They have burgers and steaks, and roast sandwiches."

-curious- Me: "Hmm, it says they have chicken now on fridays."

-surprised- Phoebe: "Really?"

Me: "Yeah, but it's extremely expensive."

Me: "Ten dollars for a single leg, can you believe that?"

-unsure- Phoebe: "I don't know."

Me: "I wonder where they get the chickens?"

Phoebe:" From your world?"

Me: "Yeah, but where in the other world."

Me: "By the way, you used to be able to buy a live chicken for ten dollars."

Phoebe: "Oh..."

Phoebe: "That is expensive then."

Me: "Mhm."

Me: "Considering they sell 16 oz tauros steaks for 15."

-jokingly- Phoebe: "Those goofballs."

Me: "But, I guess if people are willing to pay that much."

Phoebe: "Mhmmmmm."

Me: "-sighs-, Soooo what are you ordering sweety?"

Phoebe: "Um, I'll probably just get the roast sandwhich, I don't feel like steak."

Me: "Ok."

Me: "What should we get for Charley?"

Phoebe: "I think I'll just share part of my sandwhich with him, I don't think they make pancakes here."

Me: "Ok."

Phoebe:" I also brought a bottle of milk for him so he has something to drink."

Me: "Good thinking."

The waiter came back with our drinks a few minutes later, then we ordered our food.

-meanwhile, back at Nina's school, Nina's perspective-

I was still working on yet another test, when I heard a bell ring and the teacher suddenly spoke up.

Miss Calvin: "Ok Nina, did you hear that bell?"

Me: "Mhm."

Miss Calvin: "That means it's time for you to go to lunch."

Me: "What about my test?"

Miss Calvin: "Don't worry about that, you can finish it later."

Me: "Ok."

She showed me over to the cafeteria. When I got there, I was a little bit excited, as I realized I finally had a chance to meet some of the other students. I went through the line, got something to eat, which turned out to be a very sad looking hamburger, and then I had to find somewhere to sit down. There were alot of people here, and there were alot of thoughts running through my head. Some of them were quietly saying things while other were thinking them.

unknown girl?:"So there is a gardevoir here."

-quietly- other unknown girl?:"Is she someone's pokemon?"

yet another unknown girl?: "She has a nice dress."

unknown boy:"What's with the gardevoir?"

-quietly- other unknown boy: "Can she talk?"

-a bit overwhelmed- Me:"Yes I can talk..."

-somewhat confused- other unknown boy: "You heard me?"

Me: "Yes I can hear you, I can hear all of you."

-kindly- unknown girl 4: "Why don't you come sit by us?"

-shyly- Me: "Um...ok.."

I went over and sat beside her, their were not many people at their table, but there were many people in line.

Me: "Who are you?"

unknown girl 4: "My name is Stephany, and you are?"

Me:"Nina."

Stephany:"Ok."

Stephany:"And um... this is Stacey, Wendy, Katie, and Suzie."

Me:"Ok."

Wendy: "hi."

-shyly- Me: "Hi."

Stephany: "So are you a student here too?"

Me: "Mhm."

Me:"But they want me to take all these test first before they put me in regular classes."

Stephany: "Oh..ok."

Wendy: "That sounds boring."

Me: "It is..."

Me: "I've been doing tests all day..."

Me: "I just want to go home..."

Stephany:"It's only the first day."

Stephany: "Don't worry it will get better once you get put in normal classes."

Me: "I hope so."

Me:"Do you know how do you do math with letters?"

-unsure- Stephany: "You mean like...algebra?"

Me: "Mhm, it was on one of the tests."

Stephany:"Um...I know a little bit...why?"

Stephany: "See that's why they have the tests, they didn't know if you knew that or not."

Stephany: "Don't worry about it though, it's easy once you understand it."

Me: "Ok...if you say so."

Lunch turned out to be the most enjoyable part of the day, even though the food was worse than the pokemon center's. I managed to make a few new friends, but before long the bell wrang again and I had to go back to doing those awful tests, now I was taking one about the great johto-kanto war, that I knew nothing about except for what I saw in a movie.

-back to Cj's perspective-

After a nice, pleasant lunch, we headed home, and Phoebe put Charley down for a nap shortly after, leaving just the two of us. We ended up having a very intimate afternoon.

I was on the couch watching tv, when Phoebe came back down the stairs. It was hard for me not to notice that she had that look in her eyes, I knew exactly what she wanted.

-lovingly- Phoebe: "Cj..."

Me: "Yes sweety?"

Phoebe: "Charley's taking a nap."

Phoebe: "So we have the whole house to ourselves."

Me:"Mhm..."

She sat next to me and kissed me several times.

Me: "hehe..baby girl."

-seductively- Phoebe: "Why don't we have some fun real quick."

Me: "You sure about this?"

-playfully- Phoebe: "Am I sure? Ohhh Cj come on, you know I've been waiting all day for this."

-lovingly- Me: "I know... you crazy girl."

-cutely- Phoebe: "So can we?"

Me: "I don't see why not."

I wrapped my arms around her and we started to make out for a little bit, eventually we both lost our pants and I ended up fucking her against the couch.

-playfully- Me: "Oh yeah, such a tight little pussy."

-playfully- Me: "You like this baby girl?"

Phoebe: "Oh..yes...oh Cj..."

Me:"You're such a naughty girl aren't you?"

-aroused- Phoebe:"Oh yes I'm so naughty."

I flipped her over, and helped her out of her dress.

Me:" There we go."

-aroused- Phoebe: "Oh Cj."

She moaned a little bit as I played with her tits.

-playfully- Me:"-sighs-, look at you...you're so sexy...baby."

Phoebe:"-giggles-"

We made out a little more, before going back to fucking, eventually we finished and snuggled on the couch.

-satisfied- Phoebe: "Ohhhh...Cj...that was so much fun..."

Me: "You're right, it was..."

Phoebe: "-giggles-"

I kissed her again.

Me: "I love you."

-cutely- Phoebe:"I love you."

-lovingly- Phoebe:"We should do this every day."

Me: "Now baby girl, don't get too carried away."

Me: "Besides, there's no school on the weekends."

-realizing- Phoebe: "Oh...right."

Me: "But as long as Charley needs to take naps, I don't see why we can't do this every once in awhile."

Phoebe: "Hehe...me neither."

-cutely- Phoebe:"Now kiss me again"

Me:"Ok."

-a few minutes later-

Me: "You want to go up to bed?"

Phoebe: "Yeah, that sounds nice, it's cold down here."

Me: "Yeah, that's what I was thinking."

We gathered up our clothes and headed upstairs, where we continued to snuggle in bed.

-lovingly- Phoebe:"I'm so comfortable."

Me: "Me too."

Phoebe: "I better get dressed though, I don't know when Charley will wake up."

Me: "Then go ahead and get dressed sweety."

Phoebe: "Actually Cj , I changed my mind, I think...I'd rather just stay here naked with you..."

Me: "hehe...ok if that's what you want."

Me: "It won't take you long to get dressed though anyway."

Phoebe: "mhmm."

She kissed me on the cheek.

-softly- Phoebe:"If you want seconds just tell me."

Me :"You still want more don't you?"

Phoebe :"No..I just want to please you silly."

Phoebe: "I've had enough, but I'm willing to give you more if you want it."

Me: "Oh...ok."

Me:"You know it did feel a bit weird to do it broad daylight?"

Phoebe: "A little bit maybe, but that didn't make it any less fun did it?"

Me: "Yeah that's true."

-lovingly- Phoebe: "-sighs-, I love you soooo much."

She squeezed me.

Me: "I love you too sweety."

Me:"You worried about Nina?"

Phoebe: "Of course I am."

Phoebe:"I've missed her ever since you took her to school this morning."

Me: "I have to go pick her up in a few hours don't I?"

Phoebe: "No you don't, I want to pick her up."

Phoebe: "If that's ok."

Me: "That's allright sweety, if you want to."

Me:" Or we could all go, if Charley's up by then."

-relaxed- Phoebe: "Yeahhhh."

Phoebe:"Oh Cj I just remembered something."

Me:"What?"

Phoebe:"Melissa told me this morning she wants us to go see her tomorrow at the experiment facility."

Me:"Ok."

Phoebe:"She said she has something to show us, a prototype of the very first virtual world."

Me:"Sounds cool."

Me:"What about Charley though?"

Phoebe: "We can bring him along, he'll be fine."

Me: "Ok."

Me:"And how is this virtual world going to differ from the game worlds?"

Phoebe: "I guess it would be more realistic you know? No more disturbing npcs and weird, square shaped grass."

Me:"That was such a weird place, I don't really want to go back there."

Phoebe: "Me neither, it was creepy."

Me: "More then lavender town?"

-cutely- Phoebe: "No! no! no! Are you crazy Cj? There's nothing creepier than Lavender town."

Me:"What about that purgatory place?"

Phoebe:"No, that wasn't that creepy."

Me: "Yeah...you're right...never mind."

Me: "What about..."

-cutely, but sternly- Phoebe: "Stop naming creepy places!"

Me: "Ok ok..."

Me: "-sighs-, you're so cute you know that?"

Me :"Baby girl I have to admit I was a bit worried you would change when Charley was born, but..."

Phoebe: "I didn't..."

Me: "Mhm.."

Me:"And not just that, but, you're also an amazing mother."

-cutely- Phoebe: "Awwwwe...Cj..."

Me:"I know, I say that alot..."

Phoebe: "It's allright, everytime you say it it means I'm still doing good."

Me: "Yeah..I guess it does..."

Phoebe:" And you're an amazing father, if you'd just allow yourself to see it."

Me:"You really think so?"

Phoebe: "Stop being so silly, Cj, I've seen worse, when I was growing up there was a gallade, I don't remember his name, but he had an illegitamate son, and completely refused to admit he was that child's father, even though nobody believed him. He couldn't deal with all the pressure, and ran away into the forrest one night, nobody ever found out what happened to him after that. It wasn't long before the whole city knew about it."

-curiously- Me: "What happened to the child?"

Phoebe: "He grew up allright, some of the guards stepped in to help the mother take care of him, eventually he became a gallade, and still works as a guard to this day. His mother still isn't married."

Me:"Really?"

Phoebe: "One of the older guards proposed to her before, but she declined, even though her only son was kind of upset by this, as he had come to see the him as his father."

-amused- Me: "Got anymore stories?"

-lovingly- Phoebe: "You like my stories don't you?"

-playfully- Me: "I love your stories babygirl."

She told them so well.

Phoebe:"Hehe..ok...then."

-cutely thinking- Phoebe: "Let's see what haven't I told you about yet..."

-jokingly- Me: "I don't know..."

Phoebe: "-giggles-"

Phoebe: "Well one time my mother told me, a long time ago, a bannete wandered into the city."

Phoebe: "He wasn't a very nice bannete, and caused lots of trouble. "

Me:"Like what?"

Phoebe: "He would move things around while nobody was looking, he broke some things, there was even a rumor that he killed one of the tauros."

Phoebe: "So it wasn't long before the whole city was against him."

Phoebe:"Eventually they guards found him and wanted to destroy him."

Phoebe: "But it turned out that he wasn't responsible for most of those things."

Phoebe: "The tauros died because it was sick, and the broken things were broken by children who had blamed it on him to get out of trouble, though he had in fact misplaced a few things, he didn't intend to be a bother."

Phoebe: "So in the end they let him go, and eventually he left the city on his own."

Me:"Ok..."

-playfully- Phoebe:"Now tell me a story..."

Me: "Hehe...really..."

-jokingly- Me: "You want to hear about my boring life?"

Phoebe: "Mhmmmmm."

Me: "I thought you already knew..."

Phoebe: "I don't know all of it, just the basics... just that you went to school and you were lonely...and stuff."

Me: "Ohhhh...ok..."

Me: "Let me think."

-playfully, cutely- Phoebe: "You have plenty of time..."

Me:"Well...um..."

Me:"I had this teacher, way back in elementary school, who was very mean."

Phoebe:"Ok...keep going."

Me: "She was the language teacher..."

Me: "And for some reason they were trying to teach us all to write in cursive."

Me:" So all our assignments had to be in cursive...of course."

Me:"And everytime you made a single mistake, you had to spend your recess correcting it."

Me: "Every spelling mistake, some grammar mistakes, but I don't think it was really technical on that end, you know just capitalization, punctuation, stuff like that."

Me: "And you were not allowed to use pens..."

Me: "I did an assignment in pen once, because I couldn't find a pencil, and I had to redo the whole thing."

Me:"If you ever made more than three mistakes, you could pretty much say goodbye to recess for that day."

Phoebe:"Ok..."

Me: "And then there was middle school."

Me: "Middle school was hell."

Pheobe: "-giggles-, Really?"

Me: "Mhmmmm."

Me:"I'm sorry baby, but I don't want to elaborate on that anymore."

Phoebe: "That's ok."

-cutely- Phoebe: "Tell me something else..."

-cutely- Phoebe: "Something that doesn't have to do with school."

Me: "Ok..."

-curious- Phoebe:"What were things like before the disaster?"

Me :"Not much different from the pokemon world, just no pokemon and a few years behind technology wise."

Me:"There was never much to do around here really, and there still isn't."

Phoebe: "-giggles-."

Me:"Which is why it's so hard for me to come up with a story, because really I can't remember anything happening that's worth saying."

-cutely- Phoebe: "Ohhhh... No no no Cj, you still have to come up with a story..."

-cutely- Phoebe: "You're not getting off that easilly."

Me: "Aweeee..."

Me: "-sighs-, let's see."

Me: "Well I went to worlds of fun once."

Phoebe: "What's that?"

Me: "It's like Whirlyworld, but bigger, with more rollercoasters and other things."

Phoebe: "Oh...ok."

Me: "I think it was for my birthday, I don't remember which birthday, but I think it was sometime while I was in middle school, so probably my 12th, 13th, or 14th.

Me: "Anyway, my mom organized the entire trip, and I went with a few of my friends."

-concerned- Phoebe: "Whatever happened to your friends?"

Me: "I don't know Pheebles, I imagine they probably survived, like most everyone around here, especially since most of them weren't really into pokemon, I just don't have their numbers and I haven't seen them in awhile."

Me: "I haven't actually seen them since I got out of high school."

Phoebe: "Ok."

Me: "You know I haven't really thought about it that much, with everything else that has been happening."

Phoebe: "That's understandable."

Me: "Mhm."

Me: "Anyway, it was a very hot day, so we would go on a ride, and then immediately head over to the nearest air conditioned building."

Me:"We hit the go karts quite a few times, even though they were very hot, and getting in them was borderline torture, it was still fun."

Phoebe: "Did you go on any of the rollercoasters?"

Me: "No, you know I'm not a fan of rollercoasters, but I went on a few other rides."

Me: "They had this one that spins around really fast..."

-jokingly- Phoebe: "You mean like a merry-go-round?"

-amused- Me: "Noooo, faster then that."

Me: "You go inside it, and it spins so fast you can't move."

Me: "And then there was another one that spins, that I went on, and it's inside a building that's completely dark, and it kind of goes up and down as it spins, with bright flashing lights everywhere, I forget what both of them were called, but I think it had music too, to go with it."

-jokingly- Phoebe: "Like a merry-go-round."

-jokingly- Me: "No like a merry-go-round's demented half brother."

Phoebe: "Ok..."

-jokingly- Me: "There that's what they should have named it."

Phoebe: "-giggles-."

Phoebe: "-sighs-, We really should go on another adventure though shouldn't we?"

Me: "Yeah, we should."

Phoebe: "I hope one will begin tomorrow."

Me: "Me too."

Phoebe: "Do you think that World's of Fun place still exists?"

Me: "Well, it was open up until the disaster, and it's a big place, I doubt it just got wiped off the map."

Me: "It might still be running, who knows?"

Phoebe: "Why don't we go see it?"

Me: "I don't really remember where it is, but maybe if we get another free day like this we can try to find it."

Me: "I know it takes awhile to get there though, it's a few hours away."

Me: "I don't know if we'll have time to make it there and back before Nina gets out of school."

Phoebe: "We'll just have to see then."

Me: "Mhm."

Me: "Or maybe we can go there on the weekend and take Nina with us."

Phoebe: "Oh...ok sure, that sounds better."

Me: "Mhmmm, I don't think it will be too dangerous, especially if we're apparently taking Charley."

Phoebe: "Yeah."

She kissed me on the cheek.

-softly- Phoebe: "I'm going to go get dressed."

Me: "Ok, I guess I will too."

Phoebe: "Ok."

We got up, got dressed, and quietely peeked into Charley's room to make sure he was still asleep, sure enough, he was.

It was almost 2:00pm now, Nina would get out of school at 4, so we still had a little time left before one of us had to leave so we headed downstairs, and watched some tv.

Charley woke up from his nap just a few minutes later, Phoebe heard him first and headed up to get him, comming back down just a minute or so later.

-calmly, lovingly- Phoebe: "When did you wake up Charley? You were asleep not too long ago."

-cutely- Charley: "Cawey no tywo aymor.."

-amused- Phoebe: "-giggles- You're not tired anymore?"

-delightfully- Phoebe: "Well that's good."

-amused- Me: "Hehe."

-curious- Charley: "Cawey geh ancays?"

-playfully- Phoebe:"-giggles- No you don't get pancakes."

-playfully- Phoebe: "You just woke up from your nap, it's not breakfast again silly."

-curious- Charley: "Mawa luh Cawey ?"

-cutely- Phoebe: "Yes Mama...loves you.."

Charley :"Cawey luh mawa...Cawey luh ancays..."

-cutely- Charley: "Cawey luh mawa geh Cawey ancays..."

-playfully- Phoebe: "That's really cute, but you're not getting pancakes."

-curious- Me: "Why does he want pancakes so badly anyway?"

Me: "He can't be hungry again can he?"

Phoebe: "I don't know."

Phoebe: "You're right though I don't think he's hungry."

-cutely- Charley: "Cawey no huhwhy..."

-curiously- Phoebe: "Then why do you want pancakes?"

-cutely- Charley: "Oswa huhwhy..."

-cheerfully- Charley: "Oswa wa ancays!"

Me: "Oshawott can't eat pancakes silly, he's a toy."

Phoebe:"He doesn't understand Cj."

-cutely- Charley: "Ehweewa wa ancays!"

Phoebe started to tickle him, making him giggle quite loudly.

-playfully- Phoebe: "You're sooo silllllly...yes...you are."

-cutely- Charley:"eheheheeheehheehheheeeheehheehheehehheheee Mawwwwa Cawey no waaaaa..."

Phoebe: "-giggles- Ok I'll stop."

-cutely- Charley :"Cawey no wa teeko aymo..."

Phoebe: "I know.."

Phoebe: "You're so adorable."

Charley: "Cawey awable.?"

-cutely- Phoebe: "Mhm."

Me:"Your mommy's adorable."

-cutely- Charley: "mawa awable..."

-somewhat embabrassed- Phoebe: "awe Ceeejaaaay..."

-cutely imitating- Charley:"seeeayyy."

Phoebe :"-giggles-, mhmmmm that's you're daddy's name."

-cutely imitating- Charley: "Dawhy nay..."

Phoebe: "Mhm."

Charley: "Cawey luh dahwy..."

Phoebe: "-giggles- ...mommy loves him too."

Me: "-sighs- Pheebles."

She sat down next to me and we watched tv for awhile, until we had to leave to go get Nina.

We all left to go to see her, I let Phoebe drive this time, since she wanted too.

-somewhere in GoldenRod-

-curious- Charley: "Mawa wagowee?"

Phoebe: "We're going to Nina's school to pick her up."

-curious- Charley: "Newa skoooo..?"

Phoebe: "Mhmmm."

Charley: "Mawa dwi?"

Phoebe: "Yes I'm driving..."

Me:"Very slowly..."

Phoebe: "Cj..."

Phoebe: "I need to drive safe for Charley..."

-insistently- Phoebe: "The sign said 65..."

Me: "But it meant 70."

Phoebe:"No it didn't."

Me: "Everyone else is going 70."

Me: "Nobody goes 65."

Phoebe:"Just let it go, we're still going to get there."

Me: "-sighs- fine..."

Me: "Drive like a grandma..."

-somewhat annoyed- Phoebe: "mmmmmm."

-cutely, cheerfully, imitating- Charley: " Mawa dwy...gwaah!..."

-amused- Me: "hehehehe...right."

-amused- Phoebe: "-sighs- Charley...not you too."

-cutely, cheerfully, imitating- Charley: " Mawa dwy...gwaah!..."

Me: "hehehehehehehehehehehe."

He started to giggle loudly, while repeating himself over and over, being quite silly indeed.

-cutely, cheerfully, imitating- Charley: " Mawa dwy..gwaah! -giggles- Mawa dwy gwaah!..Mawa -giggles- dwy gwaah!..."

-jokingly- Phoebe: "Oh Cj...what have you done to my son?..."

Me:" Nothing, he did that on his own."

-cutely- Charley: "Mawa dwy gwa!"

Phoebe: "You done yet?"

-cutely- Charley: "Dawhy dwy gwa!"

Me: "Oookaaaay..."

-unsure- Charley: "Cawey dwy gwa?"

Phoebe: "-giggles-, you can't drive Charley you're too little."

Phoebe: "You silly baby boy.."

-cutely- Charley: "seewee bayweee?"

-playfully- Phoebe: "Mhmmm."

-playfully- Phoebe :"That's what you are."

-lovingly- Phoebe: "You're my silly little baby boy."

Charley: "Cawey no seewee."

Charley: "Mawa seewee."

-cheerfully- Charley: "Mawa dwy gwah!"

Phoebe: "-sighs-...you little goofball."

Phoebe: "We're almost there."

We pulled into the parking lot.

Phoebe: "I hope we're not late."

Me: "Nah, it's still a few minutes till four."

Me: "They won't let her out until the exact time."

Phoebe: "I know."

We quietly sat in the parking lot for a few minutes with the engine running, until we saw a large crowd of people leaving the building.

Me: "It looks like they're comming out now."

Me :"Nina is probably in that crowd somewhere."

-curious- Charley: "Wagowee?"

Phoebe: "They're going home Charley...school's out for the day."

Me: "Or is he asking about us?"

Phoebe: "I don't know."

Charley: "Cawey wa dow..."

Phoebe :"Not yet Charley."

-anxiously- Charley: "Cawey wa dow!"

Phoebe:" Shhhhhhhh, Charley, watch tv..."

-unsure- Phoebe: "Is his tv on?"

Me: "I can't tell from here."

-upset- Charley: "Cawey no wa teewee..."

-upset- Charley: "Cawey wa dow!"

-worried- Phoebe: " Charley not right now...please..."

Phoebe: "Oh there's Nina."

Me: "Where?"

Phoebe: "Over there, she's talking with those girls..."

Me: "With who?"

Phoebe :"Go get her..."

Me: "Ok.."

I got out of the car and headed over to Nina.

Me: "Come on Nina, it's time to go home."

Nina: "Just a second..."

unknown girl: "It's ok go ahead and go."

Nina: "-sighs- ok."

I led her back over to the car, to find Phoebe outside, holding Charley who was now throwing a fit, much to Phoebe's dismay.

-concerned- Nina: "Aweeee Charley what's wrong?"

-somewhat stressed- Phoebe: "He wanted out of the car."

Nina: "Oh...ok."

Phoebe: "How are you sweety?"

Nina:"I'm ok."

She gave her mother a hug.

Nina: "I missed you."

Phoebe: "Awe...sweety..."

-cutely- Charley: "Newa!"

-lovingly- Phoebe: " In a better mood now because your sister is back now huh?"

Phoebe: " -sighs- , come on let's go home."

Nina: "Ok."

We all got in the car and left the school.

Phoebe: "So how did it go?"

Phoebe: "It looks like you made some friends."

Nina: "Maybe..."

Phoebe:"More like probably."

Phoebe: "How was class?"

-sadly- Nina: "It was terrible, they made me do tests all day."

Me: "They told us they'd have you in normal classes by next week."

Nina: "That's what they told me."

Me:"So don't worry it will get better."

Phoebe:"Mhm."

-cutely- Charley: "Newa!"

Nina: "What is it Charley?"

-cutely- Charley: "Mawa dwy gwa!"

-unsure- Nina: "What?"

Phoebe:" -sighs-."

Phoebe:"Cj...care to explain?"

I was trying to contain my laughter.

Nina: "What is he saying?"

-as calmly as possible- Me: "Your mother...drives... like a grandma..."

Nina: "-giggles- ,What?"

-cutely- Charley: "Mawa dwy lie gwa!"

Nina: "Oh ok..."

-awkwardly- Phoebe: "Charley wouldn't stop saying it earlier."

Phoebe: "He thought it was really funny..."

-cutely- Charley:" Mawa dwy gwa!"

-playfully- Phoebe: "Well you're really silly."

-mischeivously- Charley: "-giggles- Cawey no seewee."

He said that like he knew he was being silly.

-playfully- Phoebe: "Yes you are."

Charley: "No mawa! Cawey no seewee."

Phoebe: "-sighs-."

-jokingly- Me: "There's no arguing with him..."

Phoebe: "Nope."

Nina: "Can I play outside when we get home?"

Phoebe: "Maybe after a little while."

Nina: "But I want to see my pokemon..."

Phoebe: "Ohhh...allright then that's ok."

Phoebe: "But remember, you have to go to bed early again tonight."

Nina: "Why?"

Phoebe: "Because you have to go back to school tomorrow silly."

Nina: "Oh...ok."

Phoebe: "And your father and I have to go see Melissa."

Nina: "Can Charley come outside?"

Phoebe: "No...it's too hot out today, he won't like it."

Nina: "Ok."

Phoebe: "But you can play with him inside if you want."

Nina: "Maybe later."

Phoebe: "Ok."

We arrived at home awhile later, once we got there, Nina went into her room, got her pokemon, and immediately went back outside to play with them. We let a few of our pokemon out as well, I let out Hellblade, Rocky, and Blossom, since I knew they wouldn't mind the heat. While Phoebe let out Bulby, Cubey, and Cloudela. Oddly enough, grass pokemon loved hot days...despite being weak to fire. Reptilian pokemon usually love them as well, except Bubba for some reason, as it was quite a long walk to the creek. Polli didn't like it either, as his skin would easily dry out in the heat, which could become quite painful for him if he couldn't find water anywhere, as for all the others, they, like almost anyone, just didn't like to be outside on a hot day.

Anyway, I went outside for a little bit, just to spend some time with Nina, as she still seemed to be a bit dissapointed with her school. She was on the ground, giving Matches a hug.

Oshawott was staying on the porch, in the shade, while Bulby was sunbathing in the backyard. Rotom was running around the yard in his rc car, not affected at all by the heat. Cobalt was chasing him around, it seemed like someone was always chasing him out of curiousity. Hellblade headed down into the timber along with Rocky and Cubey, they rarely stayed in the yard. And Blossom was on the west side of the house, sunbathing like Bulby, they both seemed to like the sun. So the yard was pretty busy at the moment.

Me:"You feel allright Nina? "

Nina: "I'm ok."

-sadly- Nina:"I just feel so stupid."

Nina: "Most of the stuff on those tests I don't even understand."

Me: " Like what?"

Nina :"Alfaba..."

-unsure- Me: "What?"

Nina: "They do math with letters..."

Me :"Oh...you mean algebra."

Nina: "Mhm."

Me: "It's not that hard."

Me:"It's still basic math, and you're good at that."

Me: "So don't worry about it."

Nina:"Ok."

-excitedly- Rotom: "rrrrrrrotommmmmmm!"

Rotom sped by, and Matches took off to follow him.

-concerned- Nina:"Matches come back!"

He didn't listen, normal for him.

Nina: "Awe...Rotom, why'd you do that?"

Me: "Oh it's allright, they're just playing around."

-in the distance- Charley: "Cawey geh oswa!"

Nina: "Awe look! Charley's playing with Oshawott."

Me: "Huh?"

I looked back at the porch, and saw that Phoebe had brought Charley outside to play with Oshawott, it looked like they were playing nicely together.

Me: "Hehe..."

We went over to the porch.

Nina: "I thought it was too hot for him to come outside?"

Phoebe: "Yeah, but while I was getting him something to drink, he saw oshawott through the window, and wanted to see him."

Phoebe: "I'll keep him in the shade, he'll be ok for awhile."

Oshawott: "Osha..oshawott?"

Charley :"Oswa!"

Charley: "Cawey luh oswa!"

Charley tried to give him a hug, they were about the same size.

Phoebe: "Oshawott shouldn't be out for long either Nina."

Phoebe: "Without any water he can't keep cool, that's why he's over here."

Nina: "Ok, I'll return him then."

Phoebe: "In a few minutes, let Charley play with him for a little bit."

Nina: "Oh..ok."

Phoebe: "He'll be fine I promise."

Nina: "Ok."

Phoebe:"Oshawott play nice, Charley's just a baby..."

Phoebe: "Then again, you're pretty young too aren't you?"

Me: "Are all starter pokemon babies?"

Phoebe: "No...I don't think so."

Phoebe: "I think the ones that take less time to evolve are given away younger."

Phoebe: "But I'm not entirely sure."

Phoebe :"But Oshawott seems to be really young though."

Oshawott: "Oshawott watt, oshawott."

Charley: "Oswa!"

-unsure- Nina: "Charley what are you doing?"

Me:"But he can walk, and Charley still can't"

Phoebe: "Yeah, but they learn to walk faster than ralts do, as well as humans."

Phoebe: "And they can swim the moment they're born."

Me:"Normal babies can too."

Phoebe: "No they can't."

Me :"Yeah they can..."

Phoebe: "Now you're just being silly."

Me: "I'm serious, I heard somewhere they can."

Me: "Look it up."

Phoebe: "Watch Charley."

Me: "Ok."

She went inside got out her phone and looked it up.

Phoebe: " That's just a reflex, it doesn't mean they know how.."

Me: "Oh...ok."

She stuck her tongue out at me.

-mischeivously- Phoebe:" I was right."

Me: "Yeah yeah...whatever."

-concerned- Nina: "Charley let him go."

Me: "Huh?"

Charley managed to grab oshawott's, fur, and was trying to pull him down, but he wasn't strong enough to do so.

-unsure- Me: "Charley, what are you doing?"

-unsure- Oshawott: "Osha..oshawott."

-unsure- Charley :"Cawey kint geh oshawott."

-playfully- Me: "Nope...you're not strong enough are you?"

-unsure- Charley: "Cawey nah stwa..."

Me:"That's allright, though, you'll grow up eventually."

-annoyed- Oshawott: "oshawott!"

Oshawott gave him a pat on the head, and gently pried his hands away from him, before running over to Nina.

-surprised- Charley: "Oswaaaa?"

Phoebe: "Charley, he doesn't like being grabbed like that."

-unsure- Charley: "Wagowee?"

Nina: "Oshawott, it's just Charley, don't be afraid of him."

Nina picked him up and held him.

-playfully- Nina: "He likes you."

Charley: "Newa!"

Charley: "Cawey wa oswa dow!"
Nina: "No Charley..."

Phoebe: "Here Charley, why don't we go inside?"

Phoebe went and picked him up.

Charley: "No mawa cawey wa oswa."

-lovingly- Phoebe: "Well then you can play with your little oshawott then, Nina's is too big for you."

She took him back inside.

Nina: "Come on Oshawott, mommy said it's too hot outside for you."

She took his ball out of her purse and returned him.

Me: "hehehe, Charley, you never know what he'll do."

Nina: "Nope."

Rotom passed by the porch, with both Cobalt and Matches still chasing him, he playfulyl zapped Nina a little bit as he went by, not enough to hurt her though.

Nina: "Ow...Rotom.."

Nina: "That hurt..."

-concerned- Me" You ok?"

Nina: "Mhm, he does that all the time."

Me: "Really?"

-concerned- Me: "And you never told us?"

Nina: "It doesn't hurt, he's just playing around."

Me: "-sighs-, ok...if you say so."

-playfully- Nina: "I'll get you for that."

She started to chase after him as well.

It seemed that Rotom liked to be chased for some reason.

Anyway, not feeling like chasing them around, I went back inside and found Phoebe playing with Charley on the floor.

-playing with Charley- Phoebe :"And Oshawott and lotad are water types."

-cutely- Charley: "Mawko..."

Phoebe: "And Murkro is a dark type."

Phoebe: "Oh look Charley, Daddy's back."

-cutely- Charley: "Dahhhhhhhhhwhy!"

-playfully- Me: "Hey Charley..how are you?"

Phoebe:"He's allright, I just got him to settle down."

Me: "Ok."

Phoebe: "Come on, sit down with us."

Me: "Allright."

I joined them on the floor. The rest of the afternoon was pretty much standard routine. After supper, we spent some time watching tv together on the couch, before both Nina and Charley had to go to bed.

Phoebe and I went to bed not long afterwards, and we found that, for the first time in quite a long time, it was a bit difficult for us to sleep, as we were both a bit anxious about what Melissa had in store for us tomorrow, so Phoebe ended up using her powers to make things a little easier.
