A/N: First off, I'd like to say that Pixii is MINE!

Red's Surfing Pikachu, please change the name of "Pixii Mander" immediately. I do not appreciate the name-stealing. Though I am honored to have such a dedicated fan, this irks me to no end.

And do not use "Pixii, out" as a sign off. Just because you use a comma in between the words does not make this your's.

The name of the sequel is still being decided, but I've taken a fancy to "PMD: The Gem of the Sea" (Thanks, Will!) If anyone has other suggestions, though, I'd gladly take them into consideration.

Hmm… I'd like this chapter more if it weren't so bland.

Blah.

I gasped and turned around. Synth's aunt, (I think her name was Daisy?) stood in front of us, with her arms crossed and an angry glint in her eyes.

"Synthesis, what is the meaning of this?!" she growled. He sighed and stood in front of me.

"How'd you find me?" he asked tiredly.

"Do you really think I'd forget about my own nephew?" she asked, feigning hurt.

"You did up until about four months ago." he retorted sharply.

"Look, I simply came back to get my darling nephew and bring him home." she hissed. Synth glared at her and took my claw in his own.

"I am home." he said strongly. My heart welled at the certainty in his voice, and I rested my head on his shoulder. She narrowed her eyes and sent a Razor Leaf our way, us narrowly dodging it.

"What the Hell?!" I growled.

"I am bringing my nephew home." she stated.

"What the Hell! Am I invisible?" Synth murmured under his breath before staring strait at the Sceptile. "I. Refuse. To. Go." he said simply, his eyes blazing in hidden anger. She glared back angrily.

"I will not hesitate to kill this mate of your's, Synthesis." she smirked. He raised an eyebrow.

"Do you honestly think I'd let you touch her?" he asked rhetorically. She cocked her head to the side haughtily.

"Did you know I used to work for the police force, Synthesis?" she smiled wickedly. Both of us shook our heads, though I was sure the Sceptile was ignoring me.

"No…" he replied cautiously. She laughed.

"I brought in criminals from all around the world; I was quite well known in my prime." she boasted. "I even got my insubordinates to kill a wanted Charizard around a year back." she stared strait at me, her gleaming eyes daring me to make a connection.

It's too bad I did.

"Are you're insubordinates… Houndoom?" I asked cautiously, hoping beyond hope that this couldn't be the same situation. She nodded.

So it was… I could live with that.

"YOU BITCH!" I snarled, charging forward with my claws glowing and fire burning up my throat.

…Maybe not.

But could you really blame me? This Sceptile was indirectly the cause of my parents' deaths. The reason I no longer had my mother. The reason I was deathly afraid of Houndoom now. The reason I'd ever met Scar and his gang… The reason Synth had suffered so much pain on my account.

The Sceptile leapt to the side quickly, laughing pettily. She then did an odd dance; pink petals flying from seemingly nowhere toward me. I launched my Flamethrower though, burning them before they reached me. She smirked and raced at me next with her Leaf Blades in place. Before she got a chance to reach me Synth lurched at her, his own Leaf Blades active.

He jumped lithely back as she tried to slice him with a particularly powerful blow. Both of them were covered in cuts; though Daisy had some burns... I wasn't going to sit back and watch my love battle it out with his final evolve form alone, after all.

"I'll kill you both, Synthesis... You don't deserve life after... going... against your own family..." she panted angrily.We glowered at her angrily, each of our hatreds showing.

...And in a flurry of fire and razor sharp leaves, Daisy was no more.

I looked upon the lifeless body with sad eyes; I didn't like to see death, even if it was someone as cruel as Scar or Daisy... Synth pulled me in for a hug before leading me away from the scene.

--

We were now in our room, sitting in silence... Just thinking, I suppose.

"...Synth?" I asked quietly, leaning my head on his shoulder.

"Hm?"

"Are you alright?" I asked. Ever since we'd gotten inside the Guild he'd been silent, his golden eyes showing concentration. He hadn't even looked where he was going; just gone by instinct. He looked at me now, his eyes softening.

"Of course... Just thinking." he explained shortly.

"About what?" I asked timidly; he smiled slightly.

"Nothing..." he said. I smiled back cautiously.

"Really? You've been thinking about nothing for half an hour?" I asked playfully. He nodded, leaning his forehead on mine.

"Really." he insisted with a smirk.

A/N: I snuck that last scene in for a couple of fluff junkies that insist that Charmeleons and Grovyles can kiss. NOW YOU GUYS HASH YOUR FLUFF!!

I know a lot of you guys don't know who Droplet is, but it'd be much appreciated if you voted on my poll...

And I'd like some suggestions for Pixii and Synth's new theme songs; they're current ones don't define them very well.

I know this chapter is super short; but deal with it. XD

Don't forget to review.

(The real) Pixii out!
