The Outers Get The Fever - Chapter Two - "Aqua and Silver, Yellow
and Gold!"
Haruka was still in the computer room, Michiru was still in her room, Hotaru was still in the living room, and Setsuna had snuck away to her room and locked the door. "Gah! I need new batteries!" Haruka exclaimed as she saw the little lightbulb on her aqua Gameboy Color was very dim. She quickly saved and hid the Gameboy under the bed, and headed towards her room to see if she had any.
She opened the door to find Michiru laying on the
bed, playing with something. They both looked at each other. "Eeep!" Haruka
exclaimed, and hid behind Michiru's dresser. Michiru quickly stuck whatever
it was she had been playing with under the pillow. But she forgot to turn
it off. The music for New Bark Town was playing very loudly from under
the pillow, and pretty soon someone was calling her. "You... you play it
too?" Haruka asked, looking around the corner of the dresser. They were
both blushing that the other had just found out they played Pokémon,
but they smiled. "Yeah... Want to see mine?" Michiru asked.
"Sure! What Pokémon did you start out with?"
"Tododile."
"Shoulda figured. Mine was Chikorita."
"Your Tododile a girl or a boy?"
"Girl. Now she's a Feraligatr though."
"Oh. Mine was a boy, now he's a Meganium."
"What version do you have?"
"Silver."
"Oh, mine's Gold. What color is your gameboy?"
Haruka blushed. "Aqua... And yours?"
Michiru blushed too. "Yellow." They both laughed.
"Why don't you go get your Gameboy and come in here? I have a link
cable, and we can trade."
"Okay!" Haruka exclaimed, and ran down the hall to get her Gameboy.
Setsuna was still in her room, and she was playing Pokémon Snap. "YAY!!! I got a picture of Jigglypuff on Stage!! Yay!!!" she exclaimed rather loudly. In the living room, Hotaru heard her and laughed. "They are so weird..." she said and giggled.
Haruka grabbed her Gameboy and ran back into her
room. "Hey, 'Ruka! I changed my mind. Want to battle instead?" Michiru
asked. "Sure!" Haruka replied, and put the link cable in her gameboy. She
was already at the Cable Club Coloseeum, and so was Michiru. They went
through the annoying questions, and were finally ready to battle. They
both started laughing hystarically. "You think like me!" they exclaimed
at the same time. Both in play Pokémon were female Sandslashs, both
named Ruka. "Okay, lets both switch, so it's not so confusing!" Michiru
suggested. They both switched, and both sent out female Dragonairs named
Michi. They both started laughing hystarically, and before they could do
anything, Hotaru came in, laughing. "You two are weird! What are you doing?"
she asked. "Nothing!" they replied at the same time. "I don't believe you."
She walked over to see what they had behind thier backs. "You two think
alike," she said, looking at Haruka's Gameboy screen. "And let me guess,
Michiru-momma... You have a yellow Gameboy and the Gold version." Michiru
and Haruka looked at each other and laughed again. "You two need to get
a grip, I've never seen either of you laugh this hard before. Especially
not you," she said, pointing to Haruka. Then she left. After Michiru and
Haruka had caught their breath and stopped laughing, Michiru said, "That
girl knows us too well... Is that a bad thing?" Haruka shrugged.
"I dunno. Is it?"
"Guess not."
