Unknown location:-
Clair was on a beach looking out towards the ocean, Jake holding her in his arms gently. He was looking out to sea as well, the sunset taking place sending its golden light over the water's surface, giving the appearance of dancing lights. Clair turned her gaze upwards towards the person who was holding her, Jake returning the gaze, meeting her as they both gazed into each other's eyes. Clair's heart fluttered as she held his gaze, staring into his deep emerald green eyes as she started losing herself inside of them, as if they were as vast as the ocean itself. Jake broke the silence as he returned his gaze back to the ocean besides them, looking at the sunset as he spoke. "C-Clair, I have s-s-something to t-tell y-you." Jake was clearly nervous, as he fumbled with his words, as if looking for the right ones to express what he wanted to say, but it also seemed like something was preventing him from saying it. "I don't k-know how you will react to w-what i'm g-going to say, b-but I need to g-get this off m-my c-chest now." Jake was becoming increasingly nervous as he spoke. "Clair, I...I...I..." Jake paused to compose himself before yelling "I love you." He said this as he looked back into Clair's crimson eyes, which widened in shock. Her eyes were soon flooded with tears because she'd heard words from Jake that she'd never thought of even dreaming to hear (Irony). -I...I love you too!- she exclaimed at the top of her voice. Jake's face held nothing but joy as he embraced her quickly, Clair returned the hug by holding Jake as tightly as she could. After they broke the hug, they held each other close as they again stared into each other's eyes, both of which were full of love for each other. Jake began to lean forward, Clair mirroring his action to meet him halfway, she closed her eyes as she did so. She was so close to Jake that she felt his warm breath on her lips. She moved even closer and opened her eyes. She found herself looking at the roof of the tent she and Jake were sharing.
Clair sat up and shook her head to clear it of the after images from the dream she had. -Wow, another dream, that's the second time now.- she mumbled to herself as she turned to Jake, who was sleeping soundly. Her thoughts sounded in her head. 'I can't stop thinking about him, Jake... He's always tried to be understanding of others when they need it and he cares about his family, friends and teammates, including me. Even when i was a timid ralts, he went slowly by allowing me to get used to his being around so as not to scare me. I never feel like he'll hurt me directly or of his own free will either. I need to find a way to repay him for his kindness.'Upon thinking of that last part, small lewd thoughts began to appear in the back of her mind and the itch flared up again, along with the smell that Angela told her about which was connected to her heat. She sighed and rubbed her temples softly.-I need some air to clear my head.- She mumbled again as she got up and quietly sneaked around Jake who was mumbling battle commands by the sound of his speech. Clair exited the tent and sat on a log near the dying embers of the camp fire, the small lights from it glowing faintly in the dark, giving her just enough light to see by, but with everything the light touched having an orange glow to it. Clair sighed as she looked up at the nights sky, which was very brightly lit by stars since they were not too close to any town that could spoil the view with street or building lights. -How do I express my feelings to Jake? I don't want to lose him.- She wondered out loud to herself. -Just say what you feel from the bottom of your heart honestly, and he should understand.- Came a voice from her right and behind her. Clair jumped in surprise, she hadn't expected an answer, especially since she didn't notice she had spoken out loud at all, being too deep in her thoughts. She spun around as to see who spoke. It was Angela again. The dark type pokemon was walking over to her. -What are you doing up?- Clair asked quickly, trying to cover up her nerves and the faint shade of red on her cheeks at being answered at all. Angela replied, -Sorry, and I should be asking you the same question.- Clair's cheeks turned bright red and she smiled shyly. -I had another dream, about Jake.- She admitted. Angela nodded -So you do really like him, huh.- Angela said, matter of factually. -Yeah.- Clair's cheeks went bright scarlet. Angela had seen right through her yet again, even though this time she had made no attempt to hide her feelings at all. -Expect, that i don't want to lose him just because of this, because we could lose our friendship if he doesn't return my feelings, and I don't want that to happen, ever.- Clair said glumly, feeling down and a bit depressed, as the fact that she could lose Jake overall, hurt much more than the thought of rejection. Angela nodded to herself, figuring that she needed to cheer Clair up, and give her advice at the same time. Angela watched Clair as she said this, and she then said -You want to know something.- Clair looked up, having been ripped from her thoughts. -huh?- She said, confused at Angela's statement. Angela's smile softened as she sat down in the pose a four legged pokemon/animal would do. -How about a little story to cheer you up?- She said, confusing Clair even more. -I don't understand, how does this...?- Angela shook her head. -Let me tell it and it may become clear. -It's about me and Lucas, my mate as you know him, but before that, we were friends at one point after he saved me from a machoke who i annoyed by stealing his berries from him, I was young and naive, and being a dark type gives you the desire to make light trouble when you're a child, depending on how you're parent pokemon raised you. Anyway, the big built pokemon had me in a corner and while i was faster then him and i could get away if i could run, being as close as he was, i doubt i could have slipped past him easily. And as he was about to Karate Chop me, Lucas turned up out of no where and distracted him long enough for us both to escape barely. After that day, we became fast friends as we both liked to play minor pranks and make mischief, again nothing to big because Lucas did have a wild streak, but both I and his parents were the voices of reason to keep him from doing something stupid. Soon after, we grew to be inseparable, but as the years went by, my feelings towards him grew, and soon enough, I found myself wanting to be more then friends with him. I eventually told him of my feelings one night after I couldn't take it anymore. I did so knowing that it could ruin our friendship. I figured that I'd regret it for the rest of my life if I kept it to myself.- Angela finished her story, and than blinked, having been taken down memory lane. -Sorry, that got a bit long winded.- She said in a slightly embarrassed tone, Clair giggled lightly now, having calmed down a bit. -The point is, You and Jake seem to share a similar bond to me and my mate before I confessed my feelings to him, you are great friends now and as the oldest in the group, i guess you could say I don't want anyone to fall out with one another.- Clair smiled as Angela said this. -So im the mother of this 'family' in a sense.- She said calmly. Clair nodded. -Well, you are like a mother to me. I don't know if I could live without him.- She admitted abruptly, looking down again. Angela nodded before speaking again, -As I said before, be honest and speak with your heart, I'm sure Jake will understand, he's a nice guy, so I'm sure he won't be rude in the case he didn't return your feelings, but i hope that's not the case.- Clair looked a bit happier, but she then yawned. Angela did the same, -It's late, I think we should head back to bed, don't you?- she said to Clair, who yawned again as if to reinforce that point. Angela returned to her tent, and Clair did the same, after she hugged Angela warmly and thanked her for the advice and the story to cheer her up. She climbing back into her sleeping bag and she looked over at Jake one last time, who was now quietly cheering in his sleep, as he had won his dream battle. Clair giggled at his antics before she gave in to sleep again.
