You'd Better Un-Forget Real Fast! Or Else

by Bad-At-Games

So, Kyogre and Groudon have been defeated, and all is right with the world, except for one thing, and it's pissing Sapphire off... Ruby claims he doesn't remember anything about the huge battle, and that includes Sapphires confession of her love for him. But she won't take no for an answer. And either he's gonna remember, or she'll make him remember.

2. Girl Troubles

POV: Ruby

As I walked through Route 104, I kept thinking about what to say to Sapphire. Should I just come clean and deal with her reaction? Should I keep pretending until she tells me? Before I could come close to a decision, I arrived at a small, pink building with a sign that said, "Pretty Petal Flower Shop". I put Mumu back into his pokeball and opened the door.

"Courtney? You here?" I looked around until I saw the shadow of a person out back. I walked out as they turned around, smiling. "Oh, hey Ruby. How's it going?"

I returned the smile, leaning against the side of the shop. "Eh... I'm just... going through some stuff."

She smirked and put down her wailmer-pail. "Lemme guess. It's a girl. Probably the one you fought Kyogre and Groudon with?"

I blushed and looked to the side. "Jeez, am I really that transparent?"

She laughed, "My time in Team Magma taught me to read people. It's one of the few things I actually gained working with them..." She frowned a bit. She hated talking about her old 'job'; and even more so her old boss, Maxie. "But anyway, why'd you come here? Did you need my help with her?"

"Actually... yeah." I sighed and decided to come clean about my predicament. After explaining it all to her, she tapped her chin.

"Hmmm... Well, I can't really help you with what she told you. I flew in right after you had your little moment," She chuckled.

"That part I remember," I groaned.

"Sorry. But I can give you some advice. For now, just try and ride out the storm. But if things get super heated, come clean, but make it look like you suddenly remembered everything except for that one thing." She winked. "You're a good enough actor clearly."

I chuckled and smiled. "Thanks Courtney. It was good to see you again."

"Stop by any time. It's fun talking to you."

I waved goodbye as I stepped back out, heading home. At least now, I had some semblance of a plan... right?

And that's Chapter 2! I hope you guys liked it!

The reason I chose the random flower/berry shop on Route 104 was because, in the manga, all we're told is that Courtney decided to become a gardener after the battle was over.

As always, leave any thoughts in the reviews!
