Prompt: The Valentine's Season is here!


"That..." Joshua was looking at the last crate, filled with red heart shaped boxes, in awe of all the stuff Emma and Henry had managed to bring with them. "That's a lot of candy." He finally said.

"It's going to be the last big human world exhibition event, so we're ending it with a bang." Emma said as she picked up one of the larger crates.

"And she isn't using it as a euphemism either... I think." replied Henry as he and Jill had returned into the storage building.

"Hey, it might be for some." Emma laughed as she left.

"Hopefully not on-site then..." Joshua mumbled as the dewott dragged the crate he had stared at to the new arrivals. "This one to the same stall."

The aipom looked at Joshua letting out an exhaustive sigh. "Please say this is the last one."

Henry snickered as he looked in the small room. "I don't think the three of us would be able to move the rest."

"Yeah, I think getting crushed by Emma would be easier on me than any of those things." Joshua said as he looked out the entrance. "Where is Machoke?"

"We saw him dealing with the mankey sisters." Jill said as she used her hand tail to flip the box onto Henry's back. "They started arguing... again."

"And it's the same thing over and over again." the Jangmo-o continued.

"Well, if Machoke is on the case, then it should be fine." Joshua tossed some rope to Jill so she could secure the crate on Henry's back. "Speaking of arguing, any improvements with your dad?" He directed the question to Jill who just lowered her head. Joshua could recognize the look immediately. "Oh, still that bad."

"Uhm..." It looked like Jill was on the verge of tears as she finished the knot. "Henry, can you carry it yourself? I think I need a moment..."

"I think so? Else, there's plenty of help around here." Henry replied with a smile as he carefully left the room.

"He still doesn't believe you?" Joshua asked the aipom.

"Josh... I was gone for years, and then appear one day like nothing had happened. It broke him... and our family."


"Whoa there, mister. That looks dangerous, it does." Henry adjusted his shoulders and rebalanced the crate.

"Drop the dumb voice, Emma." Henry said with a sigh, though he smiled as she approached.

"You and Joshua just refuses to let me have any fun." Emma started to pout, a visual that still was hilarious to Henry.

"Nah, you have plenty of fun already." he rebuked.

"Speaking of having fun, shouldn't Jill be here to support you?"

Henry tried his best to look at the direction of the storage space without turning around. "She needed a break. The otter asked that question again."

Emma just nodded and placed her tail up against the crate, having it leaning into it. "Then I'll help you with this."

The two approached the stand where the container was to be placed, discussing the similarities between the pokemon world holiday, and valentines.

"I think it's Ho-oh because, you know. Rainbow, seemingly resurrecting the two lovers. The bright sun." Henry was sure in his conviction about who saved the two from the legend, though Emma just couldn't agree.

"Sure, but that they wake up in this flowerfield of eternal Spring. I smell shaymin shenanigans." she rebuked as she untied the box and let it fall on the ground next to another.

"And in what story has a shaymin resurrected anything?"

"The story NEVER mentions that they actually die. It dances around it, so they could've been alive when they were saved." The two started to head back. "And if there would be any resurrection done, then it would SURELY be Xerneas."

"It doesn't mention any large tree that would represent it."

"Don't be so nitpicky about those details."

"Emma, it's you that holds the position which uses nitpicky details."

"Then let me be a hypocrite and right!"

"NEVEEER!" Henry tried to be as dramatic for his finish as he possibly could as they neared the building. He cleared his throat from his yelling. "Well, let's comfort Jill, shall we?"

"Actually." Emma stopped up and pointed towards the entrance. Henry halted as well and looked where Emma was pointing, to see Joshua and Jill embracing one another. "I think my partner is doing fine on his own."

"Heh. Five more minutes of peace?" Henry asked.

"Seems reasonable." Emma replied, as they went for a nearby stump Emma could sit on.

"So..." Henry shifted a bit as he prepared his question. "You got any plans this Valentines?"

"Not really. Was thinking of being home..." Emma paused for a moment. "As in, in the human world, and not home home. Why?"

"Weeeeeeeell." Henry could not hide his dumb smug grin. "I might have an idea or two if you want, booked and everything."

Emma blushed a bit as she looked at the tiny dragon. "That... Yeah, I'm up for that." She was getting a bit more flustered. "Where?"

"The cinema and that kinda fancy but not really place across the street from there."

"Oh, and what movie?" Emma was feeling even more flustered, and she could see that Henry was too.

"I was thinking of one of those romance ones they always run this time of year so we could both sit in the dark completely embarrassed, buuuut..."

"Explosionauts?"

"Explosionauts."

Emma sighed in relief when she heard it. "Good. I need a horrible action flick in my life right about now." She got up and headed towards the storage facility. "And now I need to exchange one awkward feeling with another."

Henry laughed as he stood up and followed her. "Fine with me."
