Rita, Keith, and Rafe were walking on the beach, as the water rose up to the shores. Keith and Rafe were both holding surfboards as Rita was holding a Master Ball Beach Ball, that afternoon. The students had just gotten out of class and decided to spend some time at the Castelia City Beaches.

Rita had been spending a lot of time, with the two boys, over the two weeks that she's been at the Unova Pokemon Academy in Castelia City. But with her time in Unova almost up, she was starting to feel bad about the fact that she was going to have to say good.

"I'm going to miss you guys when I leave in two days." She said.

Keith and Rafe felt the same ways about Rita, that Rita felt for them. "We're going to miss you too," Keith explained.

"Yeah, who else is going to make those rocking' peanut butter bacon baloney grilled cheese sandwiches?" Rafe asked

The trio all laughed, recalling all the memories they had over the two weeks that they've spent time together. They had a blast getting to one know each other. But the moment was ruined as Rita turns around and notices a Staryu on the beach, which peaked her interest.

"OH, MY GOD! IT'S-A STARYU!" She focuses all her attention on the water type Pokemon and runs towards it. She grabs Roselia's Pokemon, so the grass type Pokemon could help her out to catch the water type Pokemon. "ROSELIA, I CHOOSE YOU!" She shouted and the Pokemon came out of its ball.

"Roselia! Selia!" Roselia does a twirl, showing off her gracefulness. But Roselia then went into serious mode, as it glared at its opponent Staryu.

"Do you want to go for a quick make-out session?" Keith asked Rafe. Keith was in the mood to make out with the guy, that he was having an affair with. But Rafe wasn't sure if he was in the mood, because he didn't want to ditch their friend Rita.

"But, Rita."

Keith shrugged. "We'll only be gone for like two seconds." Keith wraps his arms around Rafe and starts kissing him on the cheek, which caused Rafe to blush. The two boys looked around to see if anyone was watching them, but no one was, so they were safe.

Rafe was enjoying having Keith's arms around him, and he began blushing like a circus clown and giggling like a little school girl in heat. Rafe turns around because he was defiantly in the mood to sneak around. "Fine, I'll bite."

Rafe was in the mood and he grabbed Keith by the arm and the two run off behind, leaving Rita there alone.

Rita was to focus on trying to catch Staryu to notice anything" sneaky" going on. "Roselia, use Poison Jab!" She demanded. She thrust her arm out to command the grass type Pokemon.

"Selia!" Roselia does a spin and her arms turn purple and surrounded themselves in poison. Roselia begins skipping while thrusting her arms out.

Staryu does a spin as the gym on its body began glowing red.

Roselia does the spinning star and jabs Staryu repeatably until the water type Pokemon ends up becoming poisoned. Purple electricity surrounds the water type, which indicated its poison status.

"Now, that I have Staryu poisoned- "Rita was going to throw a Pokeball, but she kept hearing noise from afar. "What was that?" She asked. She turned around and looked at some bushes nearby, wondering where the noise was coming from.

Since the girl was distracted, it gave Staryu the perfect chance to escape, so it took the opportunity. Staryu turns around and begins hopping back into the water.

Rita turned around and was disappointed that the Pokemon ran away. "Aww, man. I really wanted to catch that." She sighed. But the noise from the bushes where getting on her nerves, so she forgot about the Staryu and wanted to see what was going on in the bushed.

She walks over towards the bushes. She was a little scared because she had no idea what was in the bushes. "Maybe it's a wild Pokemon or something…" She worried.

But she wasn't going to give up. She runs and uses her hands to split the bushes apart where she sees Keith and Rafe making out. Their tongues were wrestling with each other and saliva was everywhere which grossed the girl out and caused her to scream.

The screaming caused the boys to stop making out and look at the girl. They began to worry, because they were having a secret affair, and didn't want anyone to find out about it. Keith and Rafe get up. "It's not what it looks like." He lied. It was exactly what it looked like.

"You-you-you- "She was horrified to see the two boys making out because she knew that they both had girlfriends. "You two have girlfriends, and you're making out! You two are cheating!"

"Nowhere not cheating," Rafe said. Rafe knew that he was cheating on his girlfriend but didn't want to admit that.

"So, then what exactly do you call it?" Rita asked in anger.

Rafe sweatdropped and scratched the back of his head. He realized that she had a fair point. "You are right…I suppose."

Rita was shaking like a leaf on a tree. She didn't know how to react to all this information, especially since she had cheated on her boyfriend Riley, by kissing another boy, which was Kell. "I can't take this." Rita turns around and runs away.

Roselia followed her trainer. "Roselia, selia!" Roselia said.

Keith facepalms. "Wait, Rita!" He called out. He didn't want the girl to go, because he was worried that she was going to tell someone about the affair that him and Rafe where having. But he couldn't chase up to her, because she was moving fast.

Keith started worrying and began pacing back and forth. "What if she tells someone, Rafe."

"I don't know…" Rafe shrugged.

"You don't know?!" Keith asked. Keith grabs Rafe by the shirt and he starts shaking him silly. "I'm straight guy, having an affair with another dude! My girlfriend won't understand that sexuality is fluid and that anyone can be with anyone. Also, she's my girlfriend. Aamira is going to flip out if she finds out that I'm cheating on her!" He raged. Keith didn't want this secret to go out, because he knew about the consequences of it. Keith knew that he had to do something about Rita before it was too late. Keith lets go of Rafe and went back to his pacing back and forth.

Even though he was having an affair, he still loved his girlfriend very much. Aamira was the love of his life and wanted to be with her forever. They were even engaged. Keith felt like his world was in shambles, just because of Rita witnessing the kiss between him and his side piece.

Meanwhile, Rafe, on the other hand, was a little calmer. He felt like there was a chance that Rita wouldn't go blabbing around to everyone that she saw them kissing. He walked up to Keith and put his hand on his right shoulder. "Calm down, everything will be fine."

"I don't know…. I'm just worried." Keith turned around and looked down. He had a sad look on his face, but Rafe was going to make sure that Keith's sad face would go away because he was there to comfort him, which he did as the two boys hug each other.

Rita freaked out and went back to her hotel room. Just like Keith was earlier, she was pacing back and forth, with Roselia watching her trainer because she knew that her trainer was worried. "Roselia?" Roselia asked Rita what was wrong.

"Everything is wrong Roselia! I just saw Keith and Rafe making out with each other, when they both have girlfriends!" She shouted. It was something that she was trying to get out of her mind, but it just wouldn't go away.

The more she thought about Keith/Rafe, the more she thought about her situation with Kell/Riley. "And the more I think about them, the more I think about what's going on with Kell and Riley." She explained to her Pokemon, but she continued to get angry about the Pokemon.

Riley walked into the room. "What's going on with me and Kell?" He only heard the tail-end of the conversation and had no idea what the girl was talking about. He wondered what the girl was talking about.

Rita started sweating from being nervous. The girl became scared because she felt like her boyfriend might've heard the conversation that she was having with Roselia. "Nothing, my precious boyfriend." Rita wraps her arms around Riley and looks into his eyes. "Everything is fine."

"Are you sure about that…?" He asked. Because he felt like something was wrong, especially because of the way that she was acting right now. "Because you are acting like you killed someone and you're trying to hide it. You know you can get charged with First-Degree murder,"

"No…it's not a murder." She covered up. She tried to think of an excuse that would get her out of this conversation. She turned around and saw Kell walking into her hotel room, which gave her an idea. She rushed over towards Kell and stood by him. "Me and Kell are having a Pokemon battle."

Kell raised his right eyebrow up because he didn't remember ever talking to her about this. "We are?"

"Yeah, we are…" She lied. "So, come on…let's go!" Rita grabs Kell by the arm and she drags him away. She left Riley there very confused because he had no idea what just happened. But he felt like watching a battle.

"I guess I'll go watch the battle." Riley began walking and left Roselia in the room alone, which made Roselia very angry.

"Roselia, selia, selia." Roselia followed Riley. This was the second time today, that Rita had left Roselia, and quite frankly she was getting tired of it. But at the same time, Roselia didn't mind it, because walking helped her lose a little weight.

Rita and Roselia were in the middle of a heated practice battle against Kell and his Bulbasaur. Riley and Zemrick where watching the battle from the log that they were sitting on. The sun was continuing to shine, and the wind was blowing fiercely. Despite it being a practice battle, both Kell and Rita wanted to win.

However, Rita turns around and sees Cassandra and Rafe talking to each other, eating ice cream and holding hands, which made Rita nervous because she knew a second about Cassandra's boyfriend. Rita swallows her spit and loses the focus she had on the battle. "Oh no!"

"Bulbasaur, use Vine Whip!" Kell ordered. Kell was breathing heavy because the battle was heating up. At first, he wasn't sure about this battle with Rita, because she sprang it on him randomly, but after a little while into the battle, he thought that battling could be interesting, which he thought was right.

"Bulbasaur!" Bulbasaur releases two vines from his bulb and slaps Roselia silly, back and forth. Bulbasaur started laughing because he found the slapping to be funny.

Roselia started to cry out Rita's name, but since it was very rare for a Pokemon to speak human language, all you heard was Roselia saying its name. "Roselia, Roselia!" Roselia shouted.

Rita turns around and remembered that she was in the middle of a battle with Kell. "Oh yeah, I forgot!" She said. She throws her arm out while trying to think of a counter plan to Bulbasaur's attack.

"Roselia, use Stun Spore!" She ordered, trying to get the upper hand in the battle. But mostly Rita was putting on an act. She was still worried about what was going on with Cassandra and Rafe. She even thought about telling the Cassandra the truth about her boyfriend.

"Roselia." The grass type grabs the vines and pours out a yellow mist that spins around Bulbasaur's vines. The mist then surrounds Bulbasaur, and suddenly disappears with Bulbasaur becoming surrounded by yellow static.

"Bulbasaur, Saur." Bulbasaur could barely move because it was now paralyzed. Bulbasaur tries to move, but the Pokemon just couldn't because of the status that it was in. "Bulbasaur, saur, saur." Bulbasaur tries to move its legs, but it just couldn't.

Kell was worried about his Pokémon's safety and called out for it, to make sure that it was alright. "Bulbasaur, do you think that you can try another Vine Whip?" Kell asked. He wanted to win this battle, even though

Rita hears a noise and she got distracted once again. She just couldn't stop thinking about Keith and Rafe. Ignoring the battle, she runs towards Cassandra and Rafe, which made everyone else confused. "Where is she going?" Kell asked.

Roselia chased after her Pokemon, not wanting to be left out. "Roselia, selia!" Roselia mostly just wanted to see all the drama that was going on between the two trainers, because Roselia just loved drama.

Rita ran up to the sidewalk and dashed down the street. She saw Cassandra and Rafe, and she stood in front of them, wanting to have a conversation with the young couple. But it confused them because they were wondering why the girl was blocking them from moving. "Stop!"

"Why do you need us to stop?" Cassandra asked. Cassandra was very confused. She wasn't the only person who was confused this day, a lot of people were confused because Rita has been acting very strange ever since she found out about the affair between Keith and Rafe.

"Because…" Rita sweatdropped. She needed to think of another reason. She thought about the affair and realized that it would be best, to tell the truth. "I saw Rafe- "Rita looked up and saw that Rafe was making a face that said, "Please don't tell her, it would crush her heart."

Looking at Rafe's face made Rita realize that she would be a hypocrite if she blabbed about Keith and Rafe's affair when she herself was having an affair of her own. "I-I- "Rita looks down because she almost wanted to cry. "I saw him buy you a ring."

Cassandra's eyes turn into hearts. She was happy to hear that. "You bought me a ring?" She said. She started to squeal.

Rafe sweatdropped. He mouthed Rita by telling her "Thank You." And Rita replied by nodding her head. He wasn't expecting Rita to say this, because he thought she was going to blab about the affair. He turns to look at her and smiles. "Yeah, I bought you a ring, let's go get it," Rafe said.

"Okay." Rafe and Cassandra hold hands and they walk away.

Late that night, Rita was sitting on the beach alone, and watching the shiny bright moon up in the sky. Rita had been doing a ton of thinking about everything that had been going on in her life. "What am I going to do?" She asked.

Keith walked on the beach because he wanted to find Rita. He saw her sitting on the sand, and smile while looking at her. "May I sit down?" He asked.

"Sure…I suppose." Rita replied.

Keith sits down next to the girl and looks at the moon just like her. "The moon sure is beautiful tonight." When Keith looked at the moon, it reminded him of his girlfriend and why he loved her. Aamira was the love of his life.

When Rita looked at the moon, it reminded her of the good things both guys gave her. Rita didn't know which guy to choose, or even if she should tell her boyfriend about the kiss that happened at the Midterm Exams. "Yeah, you're right about that." Rita smiled. It was the first time that Rita has smiled in a while. "When I look at the moon it reminds me of the mistakes I've made."

"Yeah, I've made a lot of mistakes too," Keith replied.

Rita turned to look at him. Despite all the thinking, she was doing about the affair. She felt like she never had an honest conversation about it with the two guys. "Do you think of your affair with Rafe as a mistake?"

"No." Keith smiled. "I mean I know it's wrong, but you see the reason the affair started was because I was curious what it would be like with a guy." He started to explain, giving a little backstory of why the affair started.

"Don't get me wrong, I love Aamira, and she's the love of my life, but I wanted to try something new and well…Rafe was there and things happened. Besides, we have an expiration date." He shrugged. He felt like it was a relief that he finally got all of that off his chest.

Rita thought that was a reasonable excuse. She too wanted to tell Keith about everything that was going on. She wasn't close to anyone at the camp beside the two boys she liked. But she liked Keith and even thought of him as another older brother. "The reason I've been acting weird about your affair is that I've been having an affair of my own."

That shocked Keith. "Wait for you were having an affair? With who?"

Rita sighed. It felt good that she could finally get these things off her chest. "Not really an affair, but I kissed someone else during our Midterm Exams. It was the best friend and haven't been able to stop thinking about it since." She explained to her friend.

Keith felt like that made sense and trying to put the pieces together. "And the affair that is going on between me and Rafe, reminded you of your situation." He said.

"Bingo," Rita explained.

After Rita finished saying her two cents, it caused an award silence in the air. Keith didn't like the awkward silence, "I guess where a couple of crazy cheaters." Keith said, wanting to break the awkward silence that was going on between them.

It caused Rita to laugh, and Keith too. They sat there laughing while staring at the moon. Both felt better, after having a heart to heart about the affairs that they've been having. They sat there for a while, before going back to respective designated sleeping areas for a good night rest, because tomorrow was Emolga's Funeral.

Rita was getting all dressed up for Emolga's funeral in her hotel room. She was wearing an all-black dress and had her hair put up in a bun. Rita looked at herself in the mirror, as she was waiting for her brother to come.

Her brother walked into the room. "I'm home." He said. He knocked on the door and was amazed by how good his sister look. "You looked amazing!" He compliments his sister who was still looking in the mirror.

"Oh hey," Rita said. "And thank you." Rita and her brother David hug each other. They were both happy to see each other. Rita was enjoying her time in Unova because she's met so many friends, Pokemon, Trainers and she even got to spend so much time with her brother.

David looked at her brother. Her brother was wearing an all-black suit outfit and black dress shoes. When she looked at her brother, she could tell that something was wrong with his sister, and she wanted to know what was going on. "Is everything alright?"

Rita sighed and began panicking. "Everything is fine." She liked. She turned around and looked back at the mirror, but her brother wasn't buying it one bit.

"Are you sure about that?" He asked.

She sighed. She knew that she couldn't keep anything from her brother and decided to tell him the truth. "I kissed Kell at the Midterm Exam." She explained. But was worried about how her brother was going to react.

David facepalmed. He felt like his sister, made a big mistake. "Rita, seriously?" He didn't expect his sister to do something like that, because he always thought that she was a good girl.

"I know…but It was an accident." She regretted, kind of. She really enjoyed her kiss with the boy, but at the same time, she was in love with Riley and she was his boyfriend.

"Do you want to be known as a homewrecker the rest of your life?" He asked. He didn't want his sister to get made fun od for the rest of her life. He just wanted her to be okay and grow up to be the best Pokemon Coordinator ever.

Rita realized that her brother was right. She knew that she had to do the right thing. "You're right…. I made a mistake and I gotta make things right." Rita turns around and leaves her brother standing there. But it was for a good reason because she needed to go apologies to someone.

Rita decided to go see Riley, as he was preparing for the funeral. She knocks on his door and looks at her boyfriend. The hotel room that Riley was staying at was next door from the room that she was in. Rita walks into the room, and Riley turns around because he was happy to see her. "Hey, Riley."

"Hey, Rita." Riley walks up to his girlfriend and he hugs her.

After they break the hug, Rita was feeling a little nervous, because she had been thinking about everything that had been going on with her and was thinking about telling her boyfriend the truth. She sighed. "Riley, there's something I want to tell you…" She started.

"What is it?" Riley asked. He wondered what was going on with his girlfriend. He looked into her eyes, and he could tell that something was wrong with the girl.

Rita sighed. She didn't know what to say exactly, because she didn't want to hurt his feelings. Rita grabs Riley by the arm and continued to look into her boyfriend's eyes. "Riley, I kissed Kell at the Midterm Exam."

Riley was heartbroken, but he didn't know what to say afterward. His body felt numb and his heart shattered. He felt like crying, as his eyes turned bloodshot red and he started to tear up. "GET OUT!" He shouted.

"Riley, we can talk about this…." She begged.

"I SAID GET OUT!" Riley shouted. Riley pushes the girl out of his room, and she gets down to the floor and begins crying. Even though she cheated, she still felt bad about how things ended with Riley because she really loved the boy. Riley slammed the door on Rita.

He put his back up against the door, feeling betrayed by his girlfriend. Riley gets down on his knees also, and he begins crying too. He even puts his hands over his eyes, hoping that he would never have to see anyone again.

Kell was walking down the hallway, minding his own business. He sees Rita laying on the ground crying, and he began worrying about his friend. Kell was all dressed up for the funeral just like everyone else. Kell turned to look at Rita. "Is everything okay?" Kell asked.

"No everything is not okay." She said.

Kell decided to sit down next to the girl, to try and cheer her up, but also to have a heart to heart with her. "Tell me what's wrong. I'm your best friend, you can tell me anything." She said.

Rita tried to wipes away some of the tears, so she didn't seem weak. She turned to look at her friend and even put on a fake smile. She didn't really want to tell him, that she told her boyfriend about the kiss, but she knew that it would be the right thing to do because she was getting tired of keeping secrets. "I told Riley about the kiss."

Kell sighed and looked down. He wasn't expecting that. "I didn't think that you would do that…" He revealed.

"I had to. It was only right." Rita said. Rita and Kell look into each other's eyes, there was a moment that was going on between the two of them and they both felt it. Rita and Kell get closer and they kiss each other.

Riley was finished crying and decided to give his girlfriend another chance. He wanted to hear her side of the story because he felt like there was a chance that the kiss could've been a mistake.

Riley gets up and opens the door, but he was horrified to witness Rita and Kell, sitting there, making out, with there tongues moving playing with each other. "WHAT THE HELL?!" An angry boy shouted.

Rita broke the kiss and quickly got up. "It's not what it looks like…" Rita apologized.

Riley didn't say anything and just shook his head and started walking down the hallway. Rita began crying again, feeling like she made one of the biggest mistakes in her life, as everyone was preparing for Davey's Emolga's Funeral.
