Lilly stopped dead on her way to the hall, turning to look at him, challenge and humor twinkling in her jewel green eyes. "I'm sorry, but did you just say that you can't let me do something?" She laughed softly, walking over to Cody, who watched her cautiously. She patted his cheek sympathetically, as if he were a particularly slow child, not picking up on a concept.

"I'm sorry to tell you, sugar, that you cant stop me from doing anything. Especially in the condition your in. Now, your staying and I'm helping you, because I don't like Team Aqua. Period, end of discussion. Now lay down and let me fix the guest room for you." Lilly backed away, grinning softly as she exited the room, leaving her guest to sit back down, staring after her in bewilderment.

"Of all the people who could have found me..." He grumbled as he laid his head back on the sofa. "I had to get stuck with a controlling cocky chick like her..." Cody closed his eyes slowly, his mind wandering aimlessly until he drifted off to sleep.

Damn. They were catching up, quickly. He felt more and more trapped as he ran through the trees, but where else was he to go? At least the trees gave him some cover, harder to spot from the air. That was until he skidded to a stop in the clearing. He couldn't run across it, he'd be a sitting du-- Then there was explosion, an upheaval of the ground next to him. A bright flash, pain, and darkness.

Then there was light. And above him a fiery angel. Wait, an angel? He couldn't be dead, not already.. But if he wasn't than who was this vision above him? He spotted bright green eyes, and radiant red hair, and then his angel opened her mouth to speak:

"If you sleep like that for too long you'll get a crick in your neck you know..." Were the words that Cody heard. He snapped awake with a start, lifting his head quickly, only to see spots of pain explode before his eyes. The headache was back.

"Ow!" He dropped his head into his hands once more, groaning as the pain pulsed through it. Gingerly lifting his head Cody spotted two more aspirins and a refilled glass of water on the table. He Downed both in three large gulps before looking up at Lilly, who now sat in the chair she had occupied earlier. She had changed, now wearing simple blue jeans and a green t-shirt.

"I fixed up the guest room for you, if you want to go up and go back to sleep." She spoke quietly, in mind of his headache. Tucking her legs in underneath her in the chair she settled in. "But first, I've got a few questions for you, okay?"

Cody focused on Lilly for a moment, and upon recalling the dream in which he had thought she was a angel, he dropped his eyes to the floor, shrugging slightly. "Yeah, whatever."

"First of all, why didn't you fight back? Against the people in the baloon, I mean." She peered at him curiously, speaking as if the question was planned and thought about. "I mean, if they admitted you into Team Aqua in the first place you have to have at least one pokemon, right? So, why didn't you fight?"

"Does it really matter?" He looked up once more, seeing the determined set of her jaw, and the relentless spark in her eyes. He wasnt getting out of this one. "Because if I did, then I would have popped the balloon, and it would have fallen. Do you know how much injury a fall from that height could cause? I just figured if I could throw them off no one would have to get hurt." He shrugged once more, as if shrugging off the kindness of the decision.

Lilly watched him for a moment, apparently contemplating this answer, looking surprised. "Well, where did you run from? Like far did they chase you before you got here?"

"You mean from the very beginning? God, we've been through so many towns.. um.." Cody leaned his head back once more, mentally counting back the days. "Well, the chase started in Rustboro city, when I found out that they where trying to take over Devon Corp. That was.. almost a year ago, I think."

"Did you say Rustboro? Thats all the way on the other side of the country!" At Cody's shrug she sighed, thinking of how far from Rustboro they were. Judging by major cities, the closest city near there was Fortree City. Ridiculous. "Then you really need your sleep then, huh? Come on." Lilly stood, walking twards the hall, which housed the stairs. "I've got the room ready for you."

Cody stood slowly, following her up the stairs and down a hall upstairs. She pushed open a door, revealing a clean smelling bedroom. It was decorated in plain blues, and clean lines. "The sheets and blankets are clean.. And theres a dresser and closet, but seeing as you don't have anything with you, I'm going to have to take you shopping tomorrow. For now just make yourself at home." Lilly retreated from the room, turning to walk down the hall. "The bathroom is second door on your left. If you need anything, my room is at the end of the hall, just knock."

"Hey!" Cody called after her, causing her to turn and look back at him curiously. He realized quickly that he didn't have anything to say. "Uh.. Thanks." Then he turned into the room, closeing the door quietly. With a flop he fell onto the bed, looking up at the ceiling quietly for a moment. "Lilly the Angel. Right.. " He rubbed his hands over his face, realizing that he was acting like a dope just because she was pretty. The vision of her above him, as his angel, slipped into his mind as he drifted back to sleep.
