Chapter 9: Getting A Clue


"[Alright, Emolga, here I am!]" Pikachu called out, standing next to the tree where he'd originally found her.

Seconds later, the squirrel peered over one of the branches. "[Aha! I was wondering where you'd gotten off to! Did'ja bring the goods?]"

Nodding, he stepped aside and spread an arm out, gesturing towards the bag of apples.

The second she saw them, a look of wonderment overcame her. "[Ooh, baby~! Not bad!]" She hopped off the branch and glided down, stopping next to the mouse. Once she landed, she gave the bag a look over. She seemed to almost drool at the sight of them. "[Ooh, so bright and red… Man, you've hit a gold mine, here! It almost makes up for making me wait for so long~]"

He gave a sheepish look. "[Eheh, sorry. I got caught up in a few things.]"

She chuckled. "[Well, I guess I can forgive you thiiiis time…]"

He tried not to shake his head in exasperation. "[Thanks…]"

"[So, how'd you find these, anyway?]"

He paused. Considering the squirrel's rivalry with Snivy, he wasn't sure if it would be a good idea to mention the snake's involvement. After a short while, he shrugged dismissively. "[Er, lots of luck.]"

She gave a quick shrug herself, as if accepting the answer. Afterwards, she moved to grab an apple.

Before she could grab one, he put his hand on the bag, blocking her paw. "[Before you chow down, however…]"

She gave a small whine. "[Can't it wait? I'm famished!]"

"[And I really wanna know where Buneary is! C'mon, Emolga…]"

She crossed her arms and pouted. "[Hmph! Alright, fiiine… Well…]" Suddenly, an odd look flashed across her face. Afterwards, she put the back of her paw to her forehead, looking dismayed. "[Actually, I almost forgot! Oh no, Pikachu, it's terrible! Absolutely terrible!]"

Eyes widening, he snapped to attention. "[What's the matter?]"

"[It's… it's Buneary! Something happened to her!]"

His heart skipped a beat. "[Seriously!? What happened?]"

"[It was Team Rocket! They've kidnapped her and thrown her into an… ice-proof cage!]"

His chest tightened in terror. Oh, Arceus, no… not Buneary.

Making strange breathing noises, Emolga held her paws to her mouth. "[She kept screaming your name and trying to break through the bars, but it was no use! Y-You've gotta - pffft - go save her!]"

Almost growling, he scowled. This was low, even for them! His cheeks began to spark. He swore, if they'd hurt Buneary at all…!

Before he could run off and track them down, Emolga made a lot of weird exhaling noises through her nose. Afterwards, she… burst out laughing?

… The electricity in his cheeks died down, as did his rapidly beating heart. His scowl, however, didn't.

Of course. He should have known…

"[Hahaha! Oh man, the look on your face,]" she said, wiping a tear away. "[Priceless stuff.]"

"[Emolga!]" he shouted, his cheeks burning in anger. "[That wasn't funny at all! I was seriously worried just then!]"

His outburst made her flinch. Afterwards, she rolled her eyes. "[Oh, puh-leese. You think I'd be so calm after seeing something like that? And seriously, 'Ice-proof cage'? You're so gullible.]"

He crossed his arms and grumbled in annoyance. "[Well… still! That was just pure evil…]" He pouted. "[… Besides, I wouldn't put it past 'em to try an ice-proof cage…]"

She smirked. "[That aside… it was pretty adorable, actually. I've never seen you get so worked up over someone before~. Before you got mad, you looked like you'd been told that the world was ending.]"

His cheeks began to burn for a different reason. "[Yeah, well… sh-she's my friend. Of course I was worried…]"

She sniggered. "['Friend', eh? I don't think you'd have acted that way for anyone else. Not unless it was Ash. Heck, y'know what? I don't even think he would've gotten that treatment.]"

Groaning, he turned away. "[… Well, there's your apples, anyway.]" He started walking away. He should've known he wasn't going to get anywhere with the squirrel.

He heard Emolga sigh behind him. "[Alright, alright, I'm sorry. Look, I really do have some news for ya. Just quit being a grouch.]"

He gave her a side glance, raising an eyebrow. "[No kidding?]"

"[No kidding! While flying through the sky, I actually saw her. Minus the kidnapping, of course.]"

His ears perked up. She looked sincere enough. This time. "[Really? Where is she?]"

She grinned. "[Hehe, that caught your attention, didn't it~? Well, I saw her near the camp, around some place filled with bushes. They have some bright flowers on 'em, so ya can't miss it.]"

He nodded and smiled brightly, turning to start in that direction. "[Alright, awesome! Thanks!]"

"[Oh, hey, hold up a sec, Romeo!]" Emolga said, causing him to face her. "[That's not all I've got for ya.]"

His shoulders slumped in exasperation. "[Why does everyone keep calling me that...?]"

She giggled. "[Oh, gee, I wonder~?]"

"[Ugh... well, whatever. What else have you got?]" he asked, not bothering to hide a groan.

"[I landed nearby and walked over to the bush she was hiding in, to let her know you were looking around for her. Before I could chat with her, though, I heard something… juicy. Maybe even juicier than these apples~]"

He raised an eyebrow at her. "[Huh? What's that?]"

She stroked her chin in thought. "[Heh, well…]"

"[Wait, you're not gonna start telling me her secrets, are you?]" he interrupted, suddenly concerned. "[I don't wanna pry into her private life if it's… y'know. Private.]"

Emolga shrugged while grinning. "[Oh, don't worry. They're a little personal, but something inside tells me she'll want you to know 'em.]"

He mumbled wearily, still not entirely convinced. Then, looking around to make sure nobody else was nearby, he sighed and nodded. "[Well, alright, I guess. Don't tell anyone else, though, alright?]"

"[Don't worry, my lips are sealed,]" she replied, doing a 'zip up' gesture with her paws over her lips.

He gave a small smile. "[Okay, cool, thanks. So, what've you got for me?]"

Emolga began to stroke her chin again. "[Alright, well…]"


Riding the winds high in the sky, Emolga scanned the lands under her, looking for Pikachu's little crush. To be honest, she could have easily found some apples herself, saving Pikachu some work... but just where was the fun in that?

... That and, aside from not feeling like getting them herself, or using Attract on some unwitting boys to make them do it for her... part of her actually wanted to help the obviously love-struck mouse. She'd never seen him look so distressed for someone else's wellbeing before. Not even Ash's, really... so she felt obligated to help out.

Besides, it was kind of cute that Pikachu had an obvious crush on someone. He'd always been a real prudish mouse, so Emolga never thought she'd've seen the day where he would actually care about a girl. Romantically, anyway. This 'Buneary' must have been a really special pokémon, that was for sure...

Well, either that or he really liked dominant women. It would explain a lot, if that were the case. The rabbit seemed to be like Pikachu's polar opposite when it came to affection, choosing to be forward instead of overly skittish and flustered about it. Emolga had only seen that side of her once, during their first meeting with Dawn's gang, but it had stuck in her mind. For a short while, it'd looked like they were a freaking couple… despite how awkward the mouse had been about it afterwards, being the prudish guy he was.

It didn't escape the squirrel's notice that Buneary clearly had a thing for him, too. Heck, when she'd brought it up with the other pokémon in Dawn's team, most of- No, all of them had agreed that the rabbit clearly liked Pikachu as more than a friend. Well, except for that large flying-type, but the look on her face had told her everything she'd needed to know.

Still, Emolga wasn't mean enough to go spreading romantic rumors around. At least, not until she knew they were true, without a doubt. Well, maybe while allowing one or two doubts...


Pikachu's face heated up. Oh, legends, as if he needed more of this... "[H-Hey! What're you implying, anyway?]" he asked flusteredly.

Emolga stopped talking to grin at him. "[I'm not implying anything, hon. I'm straight up saying it. You're both crushing hard on each other. It's as clear as daylight.]"

He groaned loudly. "[Alright, seriously, why does everyone on the planet seem to think something's going on between us? We're just friends!]"

She gave him an odd look. "[… Well now. No need to get so defensive about it. I'm just sayin'…]"

He let out a breath. "[Sorry, it's just… everyone and their grandmother seems to think she's in love with me, or something, but she isn't! She's affectionate, sure, but that doesn't mean anything...]"

She scratched her chin. "[... How about you? Do you like her?]"

He looked away, feeling shy all of a sudden. "[What... w-what kind of question is that? I don't... I mean, she's a good friend, sure, but...]"

"[If she was interested in dating you, would you care?]"

"[Er, I-I dunno… Well, I mean, if she wanted to, then... but…]" He cleared his throat and shook his head. "[N-Never mind! Why do you care, anyway?]"

She stared at him, almost as if she were studying him. Before he could say anything about it, she smiled. "[... Heh. Well, anyway, shall I continue?]"

He gave her a confused look before sighing and nodding. If it would stop the teasing, then whatever.

She gave a nod of her own. "[So yeah, I was flying through the sky...]"


Flying close to the campsite, Emolga scanned the bush-filled area nearby. She remembered briefly seeing Buneary in camp during breakfast, and this place was real close... so maybe she'd wandered over near here at some point? Emolga had no idea why she would've chosen to hide away over here instead of spending time with Pikachu, but hey. As forward as the rabbit had been, Emolga had sensed a little bit of shyness from her, too. Before the nuzzling incident, she'd hidden behind that big pig's leg… and had only come out after being invited to do so by the mouse himself. So hiding away didn't seem out of the ordinary for her.

After less than a minute of searching the area, Emolga spotted some odd colors amongst the bushes below. Curious, she glided closer to the ground.

As she got close enough to see through the gaps in the thick, flowery shrubbery, she grinned widely. She'd found her!

Her mission accomplished, Emolga considered going back to the tree where she'd met Pikachu, eager to claim her reward. As she began to ascend, though, she hesitated. She had done what she'd said she'd do, which was simply finding Buneary and reporting back... but she wondered if she could help any further, by letting the rabbit know about Pikachu's search for her.

It would probably take more effort than Emolga was willing to put in... but heck, she was feeling strangely generous today, so why not? Besides, maybe afterwards, Pikachu might feel grateful enough to bring her even more apples for all her hard work…!

Moving quickly, she went into a nosedive towards the ground next to the bushes that Buneary was hiding inside. Nearing the ground, she swooped upwards suddenly, which broke her momentum. With that, she made a graceful landing on her feet.

Walking near the bushes, she made a move to part the shrubbery and go through. Before she did, however, she heard a voice that didn't sound like it belonged to Buneary at all.

Curious, Emolga slowly peeked through the bushes, careful not to make a sound. As she looked through, she, much to her surprise, saw another pokémon, who seemed to be talking to the rabbit.

The pokémon was Dawn's white, beak-less birdy pokémon, who looked to be nearly three times Buneary's size. She should have been easy enough to spot from the sky, so Emolga had no idea how she'd missed the flying-type. That said, the way all of the bushes in the area were clumped together seemed to provide some decent shelter… so she must have been barely out of view, or something.

The bird, whose name Emolga had forgotten, was giving the rabbit a sad, sympathetic look, as if troubled by something. Emolga didn't blame her, either. Looking at Buneary, she noticed that the girl almost seemed like she had a dark cloud hanging over her. Her eyes were puffy, her ears were drooped, her head was low... Heck, even her fluff seemed to be less springy than it should have been.

All in all, she was in a terrible state. Man, just what was wrong with this girl?


"[Wait... w-what?]" Pikachu started, his ears dipping. "[She was... sad?]"

He could hardly believe it. Sad? She was sad? But... why?

She didn't sound slightly sad, either. No, she sounded... miserable.

"[Yeah, she wasn't looking too good,]" Emolga replied, frowning slightly. "[Don't think I've ever seen someone look so dejected. Maybe 'cept for Oshawott, after a particularly bad rejection, but you know what he's like.]"

He nodded slightly, barely taking the last part in. So... something really had been upsetting Buneary? His face fell in concern. She was prone to getting a little upset sometimes, sure, but not like this... "[But... why? What's gotten her so... depressed?]"

Emolga twiddled her fingers. "[Hmm... well, I'll tell you, I guess. Don't think you'll like the answer, though.]"

"[I... I won't?]" he asked, suddenly nervous. "[Why not?]"

"[Well...]"


Curiosity piqued, Emolga listened intently. Maybe listening to them would clear up this little mystery.

"[C'mon, Buneary, please talk to me,]" the bird, apparently called Togekiss, said. "[I thought you were overjoyed to be here with Pikachu… so why're you hiding away, all down in the dumps? Is everything okay?]"

Buneary's head dipped even lower as she continued to stare at the ground.

"[Ohh… unless… Is it… because of Pikachu?]" the bird continued.

The rabbit sighed. "[… Yeah.]"

Emolga's eyes widened in surprise. It was… Pikachu's fault? Really? Oh, man... what had that guy done, now? He wasn't the kind of guy to act like a jerk, especially not to someone he clearly had the hots for... so this was pretty strange. Still, it explained why Pikachu hadn't seen the girl for so long. She must've been avoiding him.

Well, whatever the mouse had done, whether it'd been an accident or something done on purpose… it couldn't have been good.

Emolga held back a sigh. The situation was far more serious than she'd expected, that much was for sure…


Pikachu's heart stopped dead in his chest. "[She's depressed… because of me…?]" His ears went flat across his skull. "[And she's been missing from the group because she… wants to avoid me?]"

"['Fraid so,]" Emolga responded, frowning sadly.

"[I… don't understand… What did I do?]"

"[Well… to quote something she said a little later…]" She cleared her throat before quoting Buneary, doing her best to imitate the rabbit's voice. "['He wasn't happy to see me when I said 'hi' to him. No, he wasn't excited at all. That pretty much said everything…']" Her voice went back to normal. "[A little paraphrased, I'll admit, but that was basically it.]"

His head jolted back. "[Huh? No, that's not true at all! I wasn't unhappy, I was really excited! How could she think that!?]"

"[Didn't come across that way, to be fair. Remember when she nuzzled you? And how you tried to direct your attention away from her, for some reason?]"

He paused, his eyes slowly widening. Of course. He'd tried to direct his attention to everything but her at that point, if only so that his face wouldn't flush bright red again. Had doing that instead of returning her affectionate gesture upset her?

"[Why'd you do that, anyway?]" Emolga continued. "[Most guys don't usually try to ignore a cute girl nuzzling 'em. Especially when they're such good friends with 'em.]"

"[I… I was embarrassed…]" he muttered, his voice shaky. "[Everyone was watching, and… it felt really weird, too, and…]"

"[Well, it's no surprise that she was so upset, then,]" she interrupted, putting a paw on her hip. "[She clearly likes you a lot, so to get ignored by you just because you were embarrassed… And after not seeing you for so long, too…]"

Her words caused a pang of guilt to stab through his heart, making him groan in distress. She was right. She was completely right. Ohh, no wonder Buneary felt like dirt. He'd treated her that way, just to protect his stupid ego…

Noticing his growing misery, Emolga's features softened. "[Heyyy, cheer up, man.]" She moved over to gently rub his back. "[It's not like you slapped her in the face or anything, yeah? This is all just a big misunderstanding. Nothing else.]"

He took a slow breath. "[I… guess… Still, she feels horrible, and it's all because of me being a selfish jerk...]"

She gave a small smirk. "[Heh, not sounding so selfish to me right now. You clearly care a lot for this girl, so I bet you can fix this.]"

He nodded, ears straightening. "[Yeah. I'll set things right, somehow. I've just got to.]" He started moving in the direction of the camp.

Before he could get very far, Emolga flew over and landed in front of him, stopping him in his tracks. "[Whoa, there! I haven't finished gossiping yet, y'know.]"

"[You haven't? But what else is there to say?]" His ears dipped again. "[Don't tell me something else is getting her down.]"

Much to his surprise, a grin spread across her face. "[Oh, you have no idea…]"


Wondering if there was a reason for Pikachu's unknown actions, Emolga continued to listen intently.

For the longest time, Togekiss said nothing, almost seeming completely taken aback. Eventually, though, she tilted her head. Well, that was to say, she tilted her body. "[But… why? I thought you really adored him.]"

"[I do, I really do! It's just that I don't…]" Her uncurled ear went limp. "[I don't think he'll return my feelings for him at all.]"

Togekiss' face fell. "[Awww, really? B-But why are you having thoughts like this now? You've been really confident up until now.]"

"[… Well, you saw… you saw what happened,]" Buneary responded quietly. "[When I met up with him again.]"

Emolga's eyes widened. Oh… well, this explained a whole lot.

"[… Umm, I'm sorry, dear, I don't know what-]"

"[The nuzzling,]" Buneary interrupted. "[He… I made him really uncomfortable with it. And if that made him feel uncomfortable… well… y'know.]"

The flying-type still seemed confused. When Buneary rubbed her arm in embarrassment, however, she seemed to get it. "[Ohh, riiight… Um, yeah. Yes. That's a... little problem.]"

"[No kidding...]"


Pikachu's brain screeched to a halt. Wait. What.

… What, what, what. Feelings…? Feelings!?

Probably seeing the look on his face, Emolga stopped talking and began to smirk widely. "[Haha! Oh, man, you've got no idea how much I was looking forward to seeing this reaction!]"

Pikachu tried to respond, though no sound could come out.

Buneary… had feelings for him?

Eventually, after what seemed like a long time, he found his voice. "[… E-Err… no. No way, I… must be m-misunderstanding. Sh-She can't have feelings… I-I-I'm… W-We're not…]"

Emolga let out a drawn-out groan. "[Oh, legends, you're freaking dim! She just admitted it! Not to me, granted, but still! What more do you need?]"

After a pause, Pikachu caught his train of thought, though barely. "[But if she has feelings for me, why would she never tell me? It makes no sense!]"

She shrugged. "[Shyness? Nervous about getting rejected? I dunno, there's probably hundreds of reasons for it, so you'll just have to ask her later.]" She winked. "[… Once you're together~]"

His heart made a noticeably harder thump than usual at hearing those words. Once they were together…? "[I don't… I-I don't know if that's…]"

Emolga rolled her eyes, though she kept smiling. "[How 'bout I keep going before you make any judgments?]"

With yet another pause, Pikachu slowly nodded.

She nodded back. "[Alright, good! Now then…]"


So, Buneary had a huge crush on the mouse, did she? Emolga couldn't exactly say she was surprised, especially after that affectionate display from a few days ago… but she was confused about something. This girl seemed very forward, so why wouldn't she have told Pikachu about her feelings, yet? As far as Emolga knew, it was looking like Pikachu himself was completely oblivious to this girl's feelings. Especially if his comments before going apple-hunting were anything to go by.

That said, she was a shy one... That probably had something to do with it. It didn't explain why she'd suddenly decided to get sad now, though.

Unless… had Pikachu obliviously rejected her recently, or something? Knowing him, it sounded about right. He'd almost seemed in denial about her crush on him... so it wouldn't be surprising if he'd said something insensitive by accident.

"[I-It's probably hopeless…]" Buneary continued suddenly, fiddling with her waist fluff.

"[C'mon, dear. You don't know that for sure…]" Togekiss replied, moving closer.

Tears began to appear in Buneary's eyes. "[He was really unhappy to see me when I said 'hi' to him. I thought he'd be excited, but he wasn't, not one bit. That pretty much says it all…]" Her ear dipped even further as she burst into tears. "[If he can't accept me now, then he'll never accept me. I guarantee it...!]"

With a yelp of surprise, Togekiss quickly moved over to wrap a wing around her. "[N-No, no, no! No way, that's not true! He, er... y'know...]"

Despite feeling bad for the rabbit, Emolga couldn't help but feel satisfied as it all came together. Aha, of course! After being nuzzled by the rabbit, Pikachu had looked extremely uncomfortable. Especially once everyone had begun to chuckle at him. Had Buneary taken it as a form of rejection?

Knowing him, he'd probably just been flustered because everyone had been watching, but Emolga could see where Buneary was coming from. Especially since, after meeting her again for the first time in months, his first instinct had been to look away and pretend she hadn't been there. That would've upset anyone with a crush…

Togekiss perked up suddenly. "[Oh, oh, yes! Wasn't he the one who'd called you over to say hi? And excitedly, at that?]" she asked.

Tears slowing, Buneary gave a small shrug. "[I guess…]"

"[Exactly! He was probably just embarrassed, not unhappy. You know how easily flustered the poor man can get, especially in a big crowd like that one. If you were to do the same thing in a more private area, I think he would be absolutely fine with it.]"

"[… Maybe...]"

"[You just have to give him a chance. Just sit him down somewhere quiet and have a talk with him. He'll act far less embarrassed, I'm sure.]"

Emolga huffed silently. She doubted that…

Regardless, Buneary looked up at the flying-type, seeming unsure. "[B-But… what about the…?]"

Togekiss began to smile comfortingly. "[I'm sure he won't mind returning your feelings after you tell him, with enough time. He might act a little shocked at first, knowing him, but he'll come to accept you. I just know it, sweetie.]"

Tears slowing to a stop, Buneary began to look down at the ground again, seeming conflicted.

Emolga tilted her head at that. After a short pause, she shrugged. They were probably just talking about the rabbit's crush on him. Man, Buneary needed to get some lessons on confidence really soon.

As the thought set in, though, Emolga couldn't help but smirk. Gossiping back to Pikachu about this sounded like a good idea, actually. Usually, she wouldn't tell someone that another pokémon had a big crush on them… but she got the feeling that this was the only way these two were gonna get anywhere with this, so why not try playing Cupid? Anything to both cheer this girl up and get Pikachu to stop acting like a romantic dunce, for once in his life.

"[Um… shall I give you some time to think about it, dear?]" Togekiss asked, offering Buneary a comforting smile.

After a short pause, the rabbit nodded. "[Y-Yes, please. I… I'll try not to hide away anymore, but I need to think about some stuff, first.]"

The flying-type smiled before taking a few steps back. "[Fair enough, my dear. Take all the time you need, and I'll see you later.]"

Buneary smiled back. "[Thanks, Togekiss.]"

"[Happy to help, dear,]" Togekiss replied before taking off into the air.

As she flew off to parts unknown, Buneary sighed loudly and continued to sit, her head now contemplatively resting on her paws.

Satisfied with her snooping, Emolga went a safe distance away from the bushes to avoid detection from either Buneary or Togekiss. Afterwards, she caught the wind on her membranes before flying off into the sky, ready to go and tell Pikachu one heck of a story...


"[Aaaaand that's about it!]" Emolga finished, beaming widely. "[So… thoughts?]"

Pikachu's eyes went as wide as they could go. H-Holy miltank…

Buneary… really did like him?

His face began to burn like fire and his heart began to beat like a set of drums.

"[Hah! Oh, I knew you'd enjoy hearing that~]" Emolga teased, grinning at him. "[The part about her crush on ya, anyway.]"

"[You... Y-Y-You'd better not be lying, Emolga!]" Pikachu said, failing miserably at trying not to stutter. "[I-I swear to... er... Z-Zapdos, you'd better not be!]"

Huffing amusedly, she trailed her fingers across her chest in a plus symbol. "[Cross my heart, Pikachu! I'd never lie about something this juicy. Not even for apples.]"

Looking at the squirrel, she seemed sincere about what she'd said. Despite her love of gossiping, she wasn't known for spreading lies. At least, not anymore, so…

… Oh, Arceus…!

He tried to respond, but the only sound that could come out of his mouth was more stammering.

She smirked at him. "[Man, I don't think I've ever seen a pokémon go so red before.]"

Hearing that, he turned away to hide his face. It didn't work, though. All it did was make the squirrel giggle even harder.

As the conversation ran through Pikachu's head again, and again, he only grew more… well, he didn't know. Waves of different emotions were crashing around in his brain, and he didn't know how to handle any of them. He was so horribly confused…!

"[Heh, y'know…]" Emolga started, catching his attention, "[I've never really cared about romance, myself… but I certainly know a fluffy couple in the making when I see one!]"

There was a long pause. During it, he avoided the squirrel's gaze and tried not to stumble over, thanks to his quaking knees.

"[So, Lover Boy...]" She nudged him in the arm, "[… I'm sure you've both got quite a lot to talk about, and she's in desperate need of some cheering up, so…]" She winked, "[don't keep her waiting!]"

"[… Y-Yeah. I-I won't,]" he finally managed, turning in the direction of their camp and quickly starting towards it.

As he almost got out of earshot, he could hear her whisper, "[Good, I can eat now. Jeez...]"

He ignored it, though. Right now, he only had one thing on his mind...

VGS2's pointless notes: Good boy, Pikachu! You've saved me from the hordes of lagomorphshippers who get ticked off when you don't catch on to her affections! Praise be!

I say this knowing full well that something else will probably annoy everyone, instead. Oh wellz… XP

Also, sorry for not replying to messages for so long, guys. I've been deathly ill lately because of flu. Not helped by having to do manual labor for a living while having it. So forgive me, peeps! D:

Shameless promotion: Today, I recommend a new(ish) writer on the scene! Zum1UDontNo! He only has one story out at the moment, but it seems pretty great so far! The characters are all fun and quirky, and the lago duo seem like some pretty good besties, which is always cute to see. So yeah, I'd say he's worth checking out. Who knows? He may write more cute stuff in the future! But… only if you read and review him!

On that note, be sure to go on a tour of his long-ass profile, which has loads and loads of other stories he's planning on writing one day in the future. Perhaps if you need a writing prompt to help you along with your writing, you could check out if he's put any of his stuff up for adoption! Lord knows he might be flattered if you ask him! :P

No fun mistake/s of the day, because I'm super fabulous at writing! :D

Ah well, tata for now! c:
