A/N — okay so I updated in two weeks! yay! I've got to keep the updates rolling soon! Also, I have to point out that this is WAY shorter than a lot of the other chapters (I think I'm just getting longer and longer with my chapters, considering this is around 6,000, which is about 2,000 less than usual), but then again, I used to have this much and update the same rate. Anyway, let's celebrate! LOL. tbh this chapter feels weird (maybe bc of the length), but it'll do... for now, of course. The next one should be much longer, so it's fine. Anywho's let me remind you the schedule and time stuff in this story!

Currently AKA right now is day one finishing, everyone getting to work and problems (basically these last two chapters)!
The next day AKA tomorrow is when Yellow and Emerald come back & the day before the movie premiere. (aka the next arc / next 1-2 chapters)
The next next day AKA the movie premiere day is when the stuff happens!

I have lots of things for the next mini-arc, and by the pace of my writing without vacation, I will be finishing and posting it before August ends! :) Got some more dramatic stuff! And just saying, I have the whole entire story planned out this time. I usually do for my other ones, but then I always do something different and it changes the story drastically (hint hint, My Online Life was not supposed to be so bloody). Okay, i'll shut up now so you guys can already read! I planned to announce this stuff at the end but it clashes with the review replies! My A/N are always long *sweatdrops*


Chapter Twelve — Speaking Your Mind


"Congratulations," Gold said, putting his hand on her shoulder with a serious look.

Sapphire slapped it away. "What the heck are y'all talkin' about?!" she shouted.

"I'm not the father. I didn't do anything, dude," Ruby quickly claimed when Silver gave him a look.

"I'm not pregnant!" she yelled out. "Why would ya ever think that?!"

"Oh you're not?! Okay, good! I knew you weren't! This is good!" Yellow replied on the other line. "I didn't want to believe it, but most of the time, the news channel we're watching actually uncover real stories! Good thing this one was just a fake one like the others!"

"Wait, what? News?" Ruby asked, going close to the phone so that she could hear him.

"Yeah! We were watching this thing and they said they spotted Ruby and Sapphire on a date, and that Sapphire was eating something for pregnant ladies," Yellow answered.

"Pregnant ladies food?!" Sapphire exclaimed.

"What'd you eat?" Silver questioned.

"Earlier? Uh... I just ate some random salad that Ruby picked out," Sapphire answered. She froze for a second before realizing who's fault it was. "This is all yer fault! Ya're the one who freakin' picked it out, and now, everyone thinks I'm pregnant!"

"How was I supposed to know that they have pregnant stuff there?!" Ruby retorted, crossing his arms.

"Was it Café Angela?" Gold asked, raising an eyebrow.

Sapphire paused her fight with Ruby and replied to the boy, "Yeah, but what does that have to do with it?"

"Café Angela is famous for its salads since they use a special dressing that helps labor speed up. Only pregnant women eat it. When you guys ordered it, the waiter or waitress probably thought you guys were a young couple or something, and gave it to you," Gold informed. "I know that because I watch the food channels a lot for famous areas to dine at."

"He knows this, but he's useless in like every other subject," Silver added.

"You were always a hater," Gold retorted, going back to wash the rice.

Silver punched him once again. "Just go make the soup."

"Huh? You guys are making soup?" Yellow asked.

"Oh, I forgot she was there," Sapphire mumbled. "Uh yeah, Crys is—"

Sapphire didn't get to finish her sentence because Ruby covered her mouth. "Mmfffggg!"

"Crys is what?"

"Crys is craving some soup, and she wanted us to make her a porridge because it's crowded outside!" Ruby told her. "Well, anyways, good luck with the concerts! Have fun over there! Okay, yeah, bye! We got to go make some porridge!" And with that, he quickly hung up and took his hand off of Sapphire's mouth.

"What the heck was that for?!" Sapphire screamed, giving him a look like she was going to strangle him in the next few minutes.

"You can't worry Yellow like that or she'll come back early!" Ruby scolded. "Don't you know that?"

"O-Of course I knew!" Sapphire argued, looking red in embarrassment. She let out of huff then walked out the door, saying, "I'll be waiting in the car!"

"She'll totally break my car... Good thing, we're taking a taxi," Ruby said, quickly grabbing his phone off the counter and following her. "If anything else happen, just call me!" Then he left.

"Finally the loud ones left," Silver mumbled.

"Aw, but you got to admit that they're funny," Gold told him, happily cleaning the rice. "And speaking of Blue, I wonder what kind of reaction would she have. Even Yellow believed it because of its famous record of real stories."

"As if. Blue wouldn't believe that kind of stuff. She's always calling the news reporters junk," Silver replied.


"This is all yer fault!" Sapphire snapped, punching Ruby in the shoulder like the usual routine.

"Huh? Are you still on that?" Ruby replied, rubbing it. "I wanted you to have the perfect diet so that you could stay fit and the same size and wear my clothes longer! How was I supposed to know it was pregnant lady food? Anyways, give me your hand." He put out his.

"W-What, why?!" she exclaimed.

Ruby put on his sunglasses with the other hand. "Because when we go out to the paparazzi, I should hold it to make our image look better. You're now presentable to be side by side with me because of the outfit I made you get into this morning!"

Sapphire's eye twitched again. She slapped his hand away. "I don't want to hold hands with such a wimp!"

"I don't want to hold hands with you either, considering I don't know what you've touched lately, but White told me to because our ratings are up. Also, we're one of the top people who are searched on the internet. Everyone is happy with this fake relationship, and we have to keep the show going," Ruby informed. "Now give me your hand. It's a command."

Sapphire's face started to heat up even though she looked grumpy. She put out her hand and held Ruby's.

"Oh, we're here. Let's go," Ruby said, grabbing the extra pair of sunglasses next to him and putting it on her eyes.

Sapphire adjusted it with her free hand. "Let's just get this over with!"


"This is so awesome and I want it to be true and everything, but I know deep, deep, deep inside that it's not true!" Blue sulked, switching on and off from fangirl and upset mode.

"Are you okay, Blue?" Red asked, looking concerned. She was a usual nutcase when it came to a lot of stuff, but seeing her switch moods from an excited squealing fangirl to a sulky emo in the corner was really weird; even for her.

"I've already told you. She always has problems," Green said calmly, ignoring her and continuing the day with his coffee. "Irrelevant ones," he added after taking a sip.

Blue stopped her crazy on and off personality and slammed the table with her fist. With a whiny voice, she said, "It's so relevant! I mean, I know that Ruby and Sapphire are slightly young to have a baby and whatnot, but wouldn't you think it'd be awesome if they did?"

"Oh yeah, because living with a pregnant lady who has the strength of Sapphire is so fun and awesome. Not to mention, the constant crying for the first six months will be a joy too," Green stated sarcastically, bitterness dripping out of his words.

"I wonder how much people would believe it though," Red said. "I mean, we only doubted it because we actually knew their real personalities, not the one on camera. On the other hand, the whole world thinks they're the most cutest couple and that they're deeply in love."

"Well Yellow believed it for a second," Blue stated, remembering the phone call she got earlier.

"That's because Yellow is really gullible," Green remarked.

"Yeah, but that's the cute part about her," Blue commented. She nudged Red. "Right, Red?"

"What?!" Red asked, getting off guard for a moment. "Sorry I was daydreaming about Pokémon battles again."

Blue sighed and put her hands on her hips. "You know, the least you could do when you ask a question is wait for the answer."

"Sorry, sorry," Red apologized.

"Anyways, let's head to the next door studio," Blue suggested.

Red raised an eyebrow. "And why would we do that?"

"To meet the new actors for Pokespe, of course!" Blue answered.


"I mean, it was a good thing that the rumors were fake, but the paparazzi is going to go crazy," Yellow said, sighing as she hung up the phone.

"Prez can just deal with it!" Black reassured.

"Yeah, but other than the false rumors, I'm surprised that they actually got something fake. At least what I know, they've never made a wrong report before," Emerald informed, referring to the channel they were on earlier. "But aside from that, Yellow's right. They're probably going to have a hard time with reporters."

"I hope they're okay... Maybe I should call them again," Yellow suggested.

"Nah, don't. They're about to head to their shoot right now, so it's not the best time," Black said.

"How'd you know?" Emerald asked.

"I memorized Prez's schedule of course," Black answered.

"You're amazing! You're like White's own manager," Yellow complimented.

"Weird, but reliable," Emerald commented, smiling. "Let's go get something to eat after the concert. I'm starting to get hungry."

"Okay, I'll squeeze in time for eating," Black said, writing down something in his notebook.


After tugging through the crowd of paparazzi, the two finally made it inside. Ruby pushed up his sunglasses and let out a sigh of relief. Sapphire yanked hers off and did the opposite, feeling unpleased. She rubbed her eyes with an appalled look on her face.

"Even with these sunglasses, the lights still bother me..." she complained, blinking.

"I'm surprised you're not used to it," Ruby said, finally letting go of her hand.

When he let go, Sapphire looked down, feeling it weird.

"Something wrong?" Ruby asked, seeing her scrunched eyebrows.

Sapphire quickly put her hand behind her back and looked straight up normally. "Nope. Nothing's wrong! Let's get to the back of the shoot so we can start," she said. "The faster we get done, the faster we can meet the new juniors!"

Ruby nodded. "Yeah, you're right. We've already missed the first meeting because of the paparazzi chase before."


"Okay, we got the food, the pillows, the medicine, the ice pack, and uhh... yeah, I think that's everything!" Gold said, grabbing the bowl and dropping it into the sink.

"Now she just needs to rest," Silver added. He sighed. "I've already cancelled today's job, so we have to do twice as much tomorrow. Director Elm told us to get up at 4 AM tomorrow. And if Crys still isn't fine, then to let her rest and just do the scenes that only include the two of us."

Gold let out a groan. "You serious? That's an hour out of my beauty sleep. Sheesh! What a slaver driver," he complained.

"Well beauty sleep wasn't helping you anyways," Silver commented.

"Again, you're such a hater," Gold said, giving him the hand.

Silver rolled his eyes. "I'm going to go take a shower. I'm full of rice," he said, looking disgusted.

Somewhere along the cooking, Gold accidentally splashed Silver with the water he was cleaning the rice with because he stirred it with his hand too forcefully. The boy got annoyed and tossed boiling hot water on him in return. Then Gold got the rice bowl and poured it on himself to cool it down, and somehow in the process, some of it still splashed on Silver. Of course, they had to remake it.

"Don't do anything to Crys when I'm gone. Attacking her while she's defenseless in her sleep is sad," Silver stated, leaving the room.

"How rude! I'm not the type to do that!" Gold hissed as he went away.

He stared at Crystal then fell to the floor, laying his back against the table front of it. He felt exhausted today, and he barely did anything. Gold glanced at Crystal's face, and started to hover over it. He had to admit that it was the first time he'd ever seen her sick in his life, but then again, he hasn't seen anyone sick but Red and Ruby before.

Crystal slowly opened her eyes, surprising him and snapping out of his thoughts. He quickly jerked backwards in his spot to make it seem like he wasn't staring at her or anything. She sat up, looking at Gold with daze eyes. Her eyes were all droopy and half open, and her face looked pink.

With a hoarse voice, she shouted, pointing at him, "Mom! I told you to go to sleep! What are you doing?! Also, go clean your marill! That thing smells like a dish rag."

Gold stayed there, awkwardly staring back at her, surprise of the sudden burst. It was like she was drunk since her senses weren't in check, her face was beet red, and the fact that she was kind of hallucinating or mistaken Gold as her mother.

He still had a mini heart attack when she shouted randomly, but quickly calmed himself. "Uh, look I'm not your—"

"I'm tired." And with that, Crystal immediately went back to sleep and was knocked out a second later.

Gold stared at her with a look that said 'really'. First, she scolds at me, yells at me, and then go to sleep? What a woman, he thought, bursting out into laughter a few seconds later after thinking about it. It was super weird, which made it 'Crystal-like' in his opinion.

A smirk tugged on his face as he stared down at her sleeping face again.

He was totally planning to use it against her one day.


"What? They already left already?!" Blue exclaimed, letting out a sigh when White nodded.

"The director of the drama just took them out right now actually. It seems that the new hired actors are comedians and they have gigs," White informed. "If you want to meet them again, then you'll probably see them at Set Five next month. That's when we start shooting."

"Huh? They aren't coming to live with us?" Red asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Nope. No offense, but unlike you guys, they never argue. I don't know if it's an act, but in front of me, they got along really nicely," White remarked.

"Well I guess that's good," Green stated.

"Awe, you're happy that they get along?" Red inquired.

"No. There's no way I could share one restroom with thirteen people. I don't even want to share with ten," Green replied.

"Stop being a drama queen, Green. Not everything is about you," Blue teased.

Green looked at Blue. "Especially you. You take like an hour or two."

"I'm a girl! I do my hair!" Blue defended.

"And yet Yellow takes five minutes," Green countered.

"Okay, Yellow isn't into that stuff."

"And Crystal takes fifteen, while Sapphire takes five."

Blue gave him a gross look that somewhat said he was dirt or something. "Why are you recording the times? You're such a creep!"

"Because I was planning to arrange shower times based on shortest to longest," Green stated. "It's a more efficient way to save time and shower faster. Plus, you use up all the hot water."

"I need it!" Blue argued. She turned to Red. "Red! Tell him why I should be the longest!"

"Uh, uh, you guys aren't turning this on me," he said, shaking his head and getting out of the conversation. Picking sides between Green and Blue during arguments was one of the worst things to do. Red learned it the hard way when he went to Green's logical side one time and Blue gave him the silent treatment for about a week even though he didn't really do anything.

"Okay, guys, knock it off. This isn't setting a good example for the newbies," White said, stepping into the conversation. "In front of them, act friendly like you guys usually do, and try not to act all negative. They might be new, but they aren't as close. I need to do background checks on them as well."

Red raised an eyebrow. "You don't trust them?"

"Well it's not that I don't trust them. I just want to make sure they aren't secretly reporters trying to give your personalities out... N-No offense guys, I love your personalities," White quickly added, thinking she might offend them. "I just don't want someone auditioning for the role so they could film and post behind the scenes stuff. A lot of cameramen tried that in the past, and it was horrible."

"Oh yeah, wasn't there that one guy who found out Yellow was a girl?" Red remembered, thinking of suspicious outsiders.

"Yep," White replied. "And there was another who filmed Ruby's and Sapphire's arguments. Good thing we caught him before he could upload it to the internet. Anyways, let's try to refrain from scandals or anything of the sort."

"Speaking of scandals, don't you have to go soon?" Green reminded.

"Yeah. Ruby and Sapphire are attending a press conference to clear that they didn't do anything," White replied. "I have to be there for them, or else it'll get crazy. Good thing I got to make an appointment tonight. It's last minute, but it'll do."

"Good luck," Red said as they watched the girl grab her bag and go.

Blue let out a sigh and then a groan. "I wanna go with White now! It's more fun at press conference because reporters make up the dumbest stuff!"

"If they're so dumb, then why would you want to go?" Green reasoned, giving her a look that said she was an idiot.

"Because even though they're dumb, they are hilarious!" Blue responded. "Remember that one time when they thought Red was gay with you? Haha!"

Red and Green looked at her in dismay, having bad memories of that press conference.

"Never speak of it again..." Green told her.

"That was so not funny!" Red argued.


"Here you are." An old man stepped out of the limo along with the three new actors and actress. They stood in front of a huge building with a large banner that said, "Comedy Fest 2016". When he saw the banner, he turned to them with questioned looks.

"I know you are reliable as you say you are, but will you be able to fulfill the roles?" he asked.

The three blinked innocently, not minding it at all.

"Of course we will!" Pearl assured, pumping a fist. "We might not look like it, but we're used to busy schedules! No need to worry, uh... Professor? Director?" He became unsure of what to call him.

Though he was the director of the show, he was also the professor who studies Pokémon. The three met him as a professor, so when they found out he was a director, it became strange and weird. Since they were working for him, Pearl assumed he should be called that though.

"Either one is fine," the old man said. He was technically both since he was in charge of the scenes and he was a researcher. Usually other professors would be directors as well based on their knowledge of Pokémon and their behaviors. It was needed so they would not expose too much of it and have hostile behaviors.

"Anyways, I will be leaving now. Good luck."

"Thanks!" Diamond smiled, licking the ice cream off of his face. "Bye, Mister!"


After the photo shoot and the mishaps that were happening, everything and everyone was out of control. Though Sapphire being pregnant wasn't the worst thing in the world, it caused the biggest misunderstanding ever between the press. Now there they were, trying to clear up the situation behind podiums.

"I will speaking for Ruby and Sapphire at times. Please ask your questions one at a time," White announced professionally into a microphone.

Ruby and Sapphire sat there with their fingers intertwined again for purposes.

"Okay, I will pick accordingly to random, and everyone will be able to get their questions in by the fifteen minutes that we're here. Let's start with... you." White pointed at some cameraguy randomly who was desperately waving his hand around.

He put his hand down, and cleared his throat properly before speaking. "My question for Ruby and Sapphire is whether Sapphire is truly pregnant."

Ruby leaned closer to the table to get a better position of the microphone. "Though Sapphire is currently my partner, we're still young to be doing anything like that. There's also the factor that we've been dating for two weeks and haven't took it that far yet. We like to take our relationship really slow, so there would be no way Sapph could be pregnant. We're still virgins."

Sapphire felt so embarrassed about this conversation, but ignored it.

"You next." White chose another person.

"If Sapphire wasn't pregnant, why was she eating the diet pregnant ladies eat?" he asked.

"The truth is, I chose the salad for her because I thought it would be better to keep her health up from all of the shopping we previously did," Ruby replied. "I had no idea that Café Angela was famous for its diet salad dressings."

White chose another one.

"Are you sure you're not lying to us?"

Sapphire nodded, staying calm. "If I were to be pregnant, I would announce it myself instead of letting someone else do it, considering it isn't the worst thing or it's not embarrassing at all."

White gave her the thumbs up behind the podium to tell her that it was the right thing to say. The curly brunette pointed at another one.

"When did you guys fall in love?"

Sapphire looked totally lost at that question. She gave Ruby a look that told him to answer it since she really, really didn't want to. She was already stressed out with having to fake date the guy, so she didn't really focus on why they were 'dating' in front of everyone.

"We fell in love when we were acting," Ruby answered professionally, holding her hand tighter. "Like our characters, who are madly in love with each other, we just felt the same as our characters and along the way, we happened to end the same way." He paused when he realized the mistake of forgetting about the amnesia scene after the confession. "Well, not the same way as Brendan and May, but similar."

"Awww~!" everyone else cooed, looking envious of them.

This guy is a professional liar... Sapphire thought, giving him a look.

"We have time for one more question. Uhh... you there."

The man who was holding a microphone of his own was picked. Through it, he said, "I think it is a splendid idea that you two are dating and that you guys are really in love... but is it true love? I've never seen you guys kiss before, and it would be a good idea for publicity for the show. The atmosphere around you guys aren't really lovey-dovey at all, so I have the opinion that you guys are faking it. Please answer my question. Are you two really in love?"

At first, Ruby and Sapphire stayed quiet when he hit the nail on the head.

Sapphire looked hesitant, but she knew she had to stay calm and less crazy when it came to the press. She was horrible at lying at random questions that had a deeper meaning to it and making stuff up. But now that she was actually caught in her act with Ruby, it made her feel awkward and guilty. She glanced at Ruby who was currently thinking of something to retaliate.

Screw it, she thought, grabbing the microphone closer to her. All she had to do is act normal and act like herself instead of some stiff star. It was better than just pausing like Ruby and waiting for an idea because it'll look less suspicious.

"Hey!" she shouted in the microphone, appearing annoyed to everyone. "We might be somewhat famous and filmed on T.V. all the time, but that's our characters, May and Brendan! Although our... relationship was found out, that doesn't mean anything. Like this guy said, we're taking it slow! And plus, our relationship is our private life! Tell me why the heck should we show you guys our relationship when it's not really none of yer businesses! And just because we're not showing it, doesn't mean anything! That question was very insulting to our relationship! Just because Ruby and I aren't the best couple, that doesn't mean our love for each other is fake! Hollywood is all about judging, I get it. But you shouldn't be able to judge how people feel about each other when you aren't even one of those two people!"

The microphone echoed her last sentence throughout the room, literally leaving everyone in shock at how she was behaving and her tone.

Ruby gave broad smile at how her personality was shown accidentally, holding in his laughter. As everyone stayed quiet, Ruby slid the microphone near him. "And that's my girlfriend, everyone."


"Are you mad?" Sapphire asked nervously to White as they entered the cab.

White yanked the seat belt strap and buckled it in. "Well I wouldn't say it was the best resolve..." White muttered. She let out a sigh. "But no. I'm not mad; partially because it was my fault that you guys fake dated in the first place when I approved despite your... rivalry hatred. Plus, even if the relationship was fake, that reporter seemed kind of rude. I didn't expect you to get riled up and expose your true thoughts... or how you see things, but I guess I'd say I predicted it in a way. It's a weird feeling to describe."

"Yeah. What would people think of Sapphire Birch, the calmest, most poise, fun loving girl? The image you set for yourself due to the directors' decisions is breaking," Ruby stated.

Sapphire groaned, sliding down in her seat. "Don't remind me! I just got so pissed off that he insulted mah acting and judging other people!"

Ruby gave her a sly smile before adding, "But it's okay. I don't think it's that bad of thing. You just spoke your mind, and there's no way the directors and producers could go against that. You might belong to the Pokespe Dramas, but you aren't their puppet. And anyways, it was a pretty decent save; for a caveman, of course."

Ignoring the nice things that Ruby said, Sapphire focused on the last part. She aimed a punch at him, and he swiftly dodged it in return.

She crossed her arms, giving up. "I don't really care 'bout mah image, but I'm worried about papa's!"

"Director Birch's?" White inquired.

Sapphire nodded. "Like us, there must be a lot of reporters swarming him or somethin', sayin' 'Ooh, what do ya think about Sapphire's pregnancy news?'"

"Well... The Birch Family is pretty famous for being in showbiz," White commented, looking unsure of what to say to comfort her. "If the issue comes up again, which it will, just continue to deny it. It'll blow over in nine months when no baby shows up."

"We already cleared it up, so he shouldn't have any problems. And if he does, then he could just deny it himself," Ruby told her, waving the issue off. "Anyways, that's not the biggest thing we have to worry about."

White and Sapphire gave him questioned looks, wondering what could be a bigger problem than Sapphire's fake pregnancy scandal. "What is it?" White asked for both of them.

"There's only two days left till the movie premiere, and I haven't even started on Sapphire's dress yet!" Ruby announced, acting as if it was the biggest emergency in the world.

They gave him looks again, but this time, it was bad looks.


"AHAHAHAH!" Blue said, laughing uncontrollably and pointing at the T.V. screen.

"Shut up! Crystal is sleeping," Green scolded, rolling his eyes. "Plus, it wasn't that funny."

"I'm not sleeping anymore..." Crystal mumbled, sitting up now.

Ruby and Sapphire finally came home after a short day of work, only to find everyone but Yellow and Emerald there. They were all in the living room, either on the floor, or on the couch, watching the session that happened only an hour ago between the press and Ruby and Sapphire. It took some time for the others to realize the two were standing there. Once Blue noticed, she hopped off of the seat she was sitting on and slapped Sapphire's back playfully.

Between her laughter, she tried to speak, "Ahahaha! You are the best, Sapph! Tell 'em that!"

Sapphire felt her cheeks rose up. "W-Well, they needed to know!" she defended.

Blue wiped the tear coming out of her eyes from laughing too much. "Even though you were out of character from the sweetheart image, you were totally right, so don't be embarrassed!"

"Blue, you're the only one who's making them embarrassed right now..." Red pointed out, wanting her to stop laughing.

"I can't help but laugh! Oh, but don't worry, it's not at you guys. It's at the person who accused you guys of fake dating!" Blue corrected. She took a deep breath and finally stop laughing, pulling her lips into a large smile. "Even though we reveal our most of our private lives, it's nice to see you standing up to them! I'm actually proud of you!"

Gold jumped into the conversation. "I am too! It was hilarious!" he commented, grinning at them.

"So many things happened when I was asleep..." Crystal said, staring at the T.V. and wondering why they actually accused Sapphire of being pregnant in the first place.

He turned to Crystal. "This is what you get for not taking my jacket," he told her, thinking back to the other day.

Crystal rolled her eyes, her face heating up. She couldn't tell whether it was from embarrassment, her fever, or something else. "My mind is more set with the medicine, and I'm already recovering quicker. Anyways, what's this about Sapphire's pregnancy problem?"

"This prissy boy over here told me ta eat some salad ta keep mah health and body up! But it turns out, it was for pregnant people during labor to help their aches or somethin'!" Sapphire explained, immediately accusing Ruby with her fingers pointed at the boy. "Some reporters saw it, and now they think I'm pregnant!"

"Hey! You wanted the salad anyways! I just picked which one!" Ruby defended. "Will you let it go already? We already talked about it at the press!"

At that moment, Blue burst into laughter again, interrupting them. "Y-Yep!" she said in between her laughs, thinking about the statement Sapphire gave them and the reactions. "Sapph is pretty romantic!"

Sapphire's cheeks heated up once again. "S-Shut up, Blue!" She shook her head, trying to snap herself out of the embarrassing thoughts. "Anyways! That doesn't matter anymore! What matters is the fact that we have to greet the new crew!" She quickly changed the subject.

"Oh, White went to meet them today," Crystal said, remembering earlier.

"Yeah. We were supposed to meet them today, but that didn't happen at all. Because they're new and all, they're going to busy shooting for the first episode. We'll see them at the movie premiere," Ruby informed, reciting the stuff that White told them in the car.

"Oh yeah! That's coming up, huh," Blue said, stopping her giggles. She straightened up her back and turned to the youngest. "I heard your Pokespe Drama is the one premiering, right?"

"Yep! It's a school version," Sapphire replied.

"I can't wait to see it! May and Brendan in a Pokémon school~! Aw, this is basically the beginning of romance! You know, when I was in school, the teachers would tell me that I will never make it and told me that I would fail, but in their faces! Look at where I am now! I'm at the top, and I probably have more money than they do! Those loser geezers!" Blue laughed, feeling superior. Everyone else sweatdropped, wondering how she was like when she was in school. Probably the same though; insane and ship obsessed crazy.

"I can't wait either," Crystal agreed.

"Oh yah, Crys, ya're feelin' better, right?" Sapphire asked with a worried expression.

Crystal grinned at her reassuringly and gave her the thumbs up. "Yep! I was only knocked out for a few hours, and my head still feels a bit warm, but I'll manage. I don't feel dizzy anymore."

"That's good!" Sapphire said, grinning back.

"Hey guys! Let's get takeout or something! I'm hungry," Blue said, breaking into the conversation.

"We just ate though," Green pointed out.

Blue replied with a, "Laughter can sure take out hunger."

"I want to go eat out at a restaurant, but there'll be way too much trouble," Red stated, thinking of the past experiences.

"Exactly! Order pizza or something!" Blue said, dropping onto the couch near Crystal's feet. She got the remote and started to channel surf. "I'm hungry~!"

"I got it," Silver said, immediately rushing over to go get his phone.

"Oh! I almost forgot! I need to start on Sapphire's dress!" Ruby announced, going over to go get the supplies. But when he was about to leave the living room, he remembered one crucial detail. "NO! MY SEWING KIT IS IN MY ROOM AND IT'S LOCKED!"

Almost everyone jumped in their seats, surprised of his sudden dramatic outburst.

"Shut up! You're going to make the neighbors come over here!" Green snapped.

"Quick! When do the doors unlock?" Ruby asked, acting like it was a dying situation based on the answer.

"I think it's ten," Red answered.

"Eh, it's okay." Sapphire waved it off. "I can just wear black pants and a shirt like usual."

"No way!" Ruby denied. "I already have the design and everything! You can't say no! Plus, the dare! Remember!"

Sapphire rolled her eyes and resisted the urge to punch him once again. "Fine! But if it's not finished in time, then I'll be wearing mah usual pants and shirt combo," she told him.

"It will be!" Ruby assured. "Guaranteed by the number one fashion designer!"

Sapphire stared at him with a look of dismay, wondering whether she could trust Ruby to not make an over the top dress. But she knew she had no choice because of the bet she lost. Damn it. Why couldn't she had dared him to ride a motorcycle on a rope over a tank of hungry feraligatrs?


A/N — Even though they announced it at the press, don't expect the scandal to be over so easily (evil laugh)! Anyway, I don't really have much to say, but thank you super much for the awesome reviews I've received! Here are the usual replies to them!

TO MY AWESOME REVIEWERS!
leontinees — LOL, tbh this chapter doesn't have much humor, but movement to the plot! Sorry about that, but I appreciate your kind comments about my humor XD I try! LOL, unfortunately, Crystal probs forgot it, but it'll come around! mangaquestshipping in this story has been lacking since FOREVER. And also, lol that does sound cute! Eusine isn't exactly my ship type, but I think the moments are cute. I guess I never shipped him bc I focused a lot on other ships. Also, yea I made Green gain some respect for Blue bc oldrival needs to progress with some XD And yeah, I was planning to make them appear sooner or later! Most of the time, I don't really prefer showing them bc it's so hard to ship Dia and Platinum with Pearl around. No offense to Pearl, but to break the cinnamon roll group and friendship for a ship is hard for me DX Also, the professors are both directors and professors in this fanfic! They're the ones who first made this show bc they thought it would be best to showcase pokemon and show their traits to people so that they could learn more. I guess both when it comes to your suggestions; or in between. Sorry if I'm not clear! AND YES! Liza is probs taller, but Emerald needs someone to love in his life. I mean, it's totally cool with he ends up single for the rest of his life, but I really want him to! I'm just an obsessed shipper like Blue. Anyways, I should be thanking you! Your reviews are the things that make me want to write more and have ideas for my story to be more understanding! Again, I really appreciate your comments, and I love to reply to you guys! I'd figured I'd PM you guys, but then just putting it in the story is easier, I guess. I can always look back at this story after I finish it (IF I finish it, of course) and see this! :)
Guest — LOL, cliffies are an author's best friend XD thanks though! I try to make it funny! Also, the mess is just getting started!
Srae13 — aw thank you XD LOL.
Toby Fox — Bark Bark! (you understand I'm thank you)
Ananonoddish — I always have grammar stuff, lol. Sorry about that! Anyways, thanks! Gold is pretty heroic in his own way (though I made him less heroic with the sprinklers comment)! And thanks for saying that! Their relationship is somewhat growing I guess, but in the next three chapters, it'll have a step up! The characteristics for Sapphire with the blushing and whatnot follows a lot of ORAS stuff though. I don't know if you started to read that yet, but it's online! Also, yeah I planned to showcase them later! As for oldrival, I am sooooo sorry about this, but I put small stuff bc I finished writing this chapter before you reviewed! But don't worry! I will add plenty in the next chapter! Promise! Thanks for reviewing! :)
thelasthope2 — Thank you! Also, it's fine! Silver and Lyra will soon get more moments as the story progresses hopefully :) Also, yes, poor Rald LOL. I need to find him a soulmate soon; one that's his height lol. Also, as to answer your question about who I ship in the Sinnoh Trio, I will be sooo honest and say commonershipping bc I think it's cute how Dia fell in love with her and thought she was a princess when he first saw her! Though I like commonershipping, I can't really write it nor can I ship it too much. It's hard for Platinum to really choose one since they're the fluff sinnoh trio, don't you think? Also, the false pregnant is based on random theories, but it'll somewhat explain it later and add on to the other chapters (I've already wrote a scene based on your review in the future chapters with the movie premiere, so thanks a lot)! And thank you so much for the luck and for reviewing :)
Just Another Kid — LOL, you're not that late. Thanks for reviewing like always though XD LOL at everyone talking about the ending! Sapph's pregnancy is special to everyone XD Also, yea I did rush their moments since the're weren't any hints, but don't worry! I made it slower thanks to your comment and it'll turn out better than a rushed couple! Plan to do some shipping at the movie premiere! And yes! I haven't started school yet, but it's going to be a pain! I used to get A's, but now I get B's even though I actually study for them! TT^TT *cries* I know how you feel, dude! LOL you and your consciences XD Perfect duo! Also, the Sinnoh Trio will have roles in this story, but of course, it's probs going to be subtle! I'm wondering how to incorporate them as well, actually. LOL, I already have my hands on Emerald, so having my hands with Wally is going to be SO difficult! I would ship them (since I actually support yaoi/gay shippings), but then I'm not really good at gay scenes or anything. But anyways, thanks a lot XD I got a whole lotta shipping moments for franticshipping in the next chapter coming up! Thanks for reviewing XD
Anon (guest) — LOL thanks! And also, in those situations, I would be like Black honestly too XD I freak out easily over matters. Anyways, again, thanks a lot! I hope I can finish it!

Hey, so thanks again for the awesome review guys! You were so sweet! Thank you to the people who favorite or followed as well! :) Sorry for this short filler chapter! It leads up to more other stuff, and I hope to make the next arc (or the next next one aka the movie premiere arc) the center of romance! Gots to make some drama trouble for my favorite couples in the next arc though! One more mini-arc! XD Hope to finish the chapters before school!
