*Yawns* Gawd, I've had a long day. Well, I thought I could whip up chapter one while I stll had some energy. Short and quick - I don't own Pokemon Adventures. If I did, I wouldn't be writing this, it would be a Manga.

. . . . . . . .

Okay, that made no sense. Anyway, enjoy.

Chapter 1 -- Home

"Breee! Breeee!"

"Nyao . . . Leeme alone . . ." Yellow stirred in her sleep, pulling her blanket over her head.

"Breeeeeeeeeee!"

"Mn . . . Catty?" The young girl blinked and sat up, looking at her poke friend. The sun was so bright it burned her eyes momentarily, telling her it was probably pretty late. "What is it? Did I sleep in that long?"

"Bree! Bre breeeee!"

"What?! Red's on his way back?!" Yellow jumped up immediately, grabbing the pot from last night and her blanket. As she hastily put all of her things back in her bag, The rest of Yellow's Pokemon walked up to her, looking slightly confused.

"C'mon guys! We have to make it back to Pallet Town before Red does!" Yellow smiled, putting her backpack on, motioning for her Pokemon to follow her. As she ran through the forest back to the Viridian entrance, all she could think about was seeing Red again, and all she could do was smile.

She passed the entrance and came upon the gate to Pallet Town, her Pokemon right behind her. She could hear some commotion coming from the front of Red's house, so he must have already made it back before her. Sure enough, when she rounded the corner, she saw Blue, a couple of kids from town, and Red.

"RED!!!" Yellow cheered, hopping in front of him.

"Yellow-Chan!" Red replied, catching her into his arms.

"I missed you so much Red!" Yellow hugged the boy so hard, Red thought his spine might break.

"Hey, I was only gone for a couple of days." Red laughed, patting Yellow in the head. He was used to the extra warm greeting from his friends, especially Yellow. She . . . er, he . . . was like the brother he never had. Of course, Red is the only one who doesn't know Yellow's little secret.

"But I'm so lonely when you're gone!" Yellow giggled, hugging him again. "Hey, I can stay at your place tonight, right?"

"Yeah, why not? I don't think Blue is going to welcome you in anytime soon."

"Hey, I've asked him before, but he always says he doesn't need my hospitality." [AN: Yes, Blue is talking about Yellow. Remember everyone addresses her as a boy!] Blue replied, getting slightly annoyed. Yellow stuck her tongue out teasingly.

"Hehe," Red smiled, used to those kind of responses from Blue. "Hey Yellow, Pika's inside the house - he was overjoyed to see you again."

"Really?" Yellow smiled, hopping again. She ran into Red's house, awaiting the reunion with her Pikachu friend.

"Hey," Blue said as soon as Yellow left. "I have a question for you."

"Shoot." Red replied, turning his attention from the front door to Blue.

"What do you think of Yellow?"

"Huh?"

"You know - what is he to you?"

"He's like the littler brother I never had, I guess." Red scratched the back of his head. "Why do you ask?"

"Oh, nothing much . . ." Blue replied, looking at Red's front door to his house. 'She really likes you Red . . .I just hope you can feel the same way soon.'

"Come on! Are you saying I'm attracted to other boys?!" Red exclaimed, his face turning red itself.

"No, no." Blue smiled, waving one hand as he turned around. "I have to go to the store for my sister, she needs new medicine for her cold she's got."

'Blue . . .' Red thought as he watched his friend walk away. 'I don't get it . . .Green asked me the same thing once. What is it with you guys?'

"Wheeheeee!" Yellow laughed as she pranced out the doorway with Pika following her. Can't catch meeee!"

"Pika! Pikapi!" Pika replied, sending little playful sparks at Yellow's feet.

'Yellow . . .' Red thought to himself again. 'What . . .DO I think of you? I know it's wrong to like another boy . . .and I've only felt this around you and you only. I thought it was just because we have a link with Pika . . .but I feel lonely when I'm not with you.'

"C'mon Red-Kun!" Yellow laughed, picking Pika up onto her hat. "Pika says he wasn't to go fishing!"

"Alright, alright." Red replied, laughing. "I'll go get the poles and bait - why don't you and Pika wait for me at the river?"

"'Kay!" Yellow chirped and ran off with her little Pikachu friend.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Say Pika-Chan . . ." Yellow said as she dipped her bare feet in the river that ran beside Pallet Town. "Do you know if Red likes me?"

"Pika pika chuuu?" Pika replied, twitching his little ear. "Pika chuupi. Pipi."

"You saying I should tell him I'm a girl?" Yellow asked, reading Pika's thoughts clearly. She liked having that power - the gift of the Viridian Forest.

"Pii!"

"I thought about that . . .but don't you think he'd dislike me then? I lied to him . . .I'm not sure he'd talk to me anymore if I told him."

"Pika pi chu."

"I need to trust myself?" Yellow replied, looking down at her feet that were dipped in the cool water. "I don't know . . .even if I did tell him," She laughed, "I wouldn't be able to sleep with him anymore!"

"Piiiiika.

"Hey! That's not pathetic! I LIKE sleeping by his side! He probably wouldn't think it's right if he knew I was a girl."

"Chu chuuuuuu . . . pikapi."

"Yeah . . .I know." Yellow smiled and pat Pika on the head. "I'll tell him sometime. But for now, I like the way it is."

"Pi!"

"Hey Yellow!" Red yelled from the other side of the river, "Sorry you had to wait so long!"

"Oh, don't worry about it." Yellow replied, watching Red run across the wooden bridge. "Pika and I were talking."

"You really like him, don't you?" Red asked, sitting down beside Yellow.

"Yeah," The young girl smiled. "We really bonded on our journey together."

"Well, I got us each a Good Rod - Green has my Super Rod." Red sweatdropped, handing Yellow a Good Rod and some bait.

"That's fine, I wouldn't mind if it was an Old Rod . . .I just like spending time with you."

Before Yellow noticed what she said, Red already blushed a light shade of vermilion. How could she be so careless? Red still thought she was a guy!

"Uh, erm . . ."Yellow stuttered, blushing herself. "I mean, I've never had a brother before either." 'Stupid, stupid, stupid . . .'

"That's okay," Red smiled. "I know what you meant."

"Piika!" Pika smiled, tugging on Red's fishing rod.

"Hehe! You want to fish too, huh Pika-Chan?" Red laughed, watching his friend try to hold up the rod correctly.

"You can do it Pika-Chan!" Yellow cheered, laughing as much as Red.

The three friends played until dark - enjoying every minute of it.
