A/N: Hey guys! New chappy! Not my favorite, but I tried. Anyways, I don't own Pokémon.
Love Happens Suddenly
Chapter 6
When Jordan and Molly stepped into the park, they were relieved to find their rodent-like friend sitting on a bench, enjoying herself.
The Scrafty headed over to her first, calling Wallace and Jordan to come with her. The Minccino stepped after the reptile-like pokémon, still a bit shaken from earlier. By now, his Emolga friend, whom was named Amelia by the way, had fallen asleep as she lay slumped over the Zangoose's shoulder.
Jordan said nothing as he walked behind the chinchilla pokémon.
Molly reached Teddy first and waved her arms in an attempt to catch the Pikachu's attention.
"Hey!"
Teddy opened an eye as she focused on the Scrafty coming over.
"Oh, hey Molly, Jordan, and random pokémon I've never seen," greeted the electric mouse.
Wallace swallowed as he approached the yellow creature, unsure how her personality would be. The two pokémon he'd just met not too long ago had practically praised her, but he had his doubts.
"Hi..." he murmured back a bit awkwardly and waved meekly.
Molly then preceded their conversation by telling Wallace's account of the event he had just recently endured.
All the while, Teddy nodded her head, concentrating on the task at paw and forming possible solutions to the current issue. As she did this, Jordan had settled himself on the edge of the bench as he kept an eye on the sleeping squirrel pokémon.
Molly still stood beside him until the Pikachu hopped off of her spot and walked over to Amelia.
It seemed the electric mouse was studying her briefly before moving back to her companions.
"Well, she's asleep now. There's nothing I can do now, but I'm sure it'll wear off soon though," the Pikachu said, and the chinchilla pokémon nodded at her words.
"So, what now?" he found himself asking, and she shrugged.
"I suppose we just wait until she comes around...or we could wake her up, but I don't wanna risk the fact that she still might be under the Cute Charm ability..." the troubled expression was evident on her face as the words were stated. Wallace frowned a bit, for he wasn't the patient kind. However, due to the recent events, he had found himself with awkward feelings for his friend, yet again.
The light gray fur ball frowned a bit and gazed at Amelia. A bubbly feeling had settled itself in his chest, and while he liked the way it made him feel, he wasn't sure what the squirrel pokémon would say.
Wallace turned his attention back to the trio in front of him.
"So, while we wait, should we play a game of Go Feebas? I have a deck somewhere..." The Scrafty suggested as her paws went for her baggy pants in an attempt to locate the deck of cards.
"Go Feebas?" Jordan groaned. "That game is for children, Molly, and we're all adults here. At least play a game of poker or something..."
"And what makes Go Feebas a child's game? Not to mention, we don't even know if Teddy or um...Minccino here knows how to play poker!"
The white feline glared at her and was to retort back when the Pikachu cut in:
"Um, what's 'Go Feebas' and 'Poker'? I've never heard of either..." she mumbled a bit, clueless to what the two were bickering about.
"Are...you're joking right?" The Zangoose responded, slightly astounded and outright not believing the rodent.
"No...This is the first time I've ever heard of this..."
Molly gave a small grin as she looped her paw with the Pikachu's and dragged her over to a picnic table.
"Hey Minccino, Jordan! We're teaching Teddy how to play Go Feebas!" the Scrafty cheered.
Jordan sighed in defeat and paced over without hesitation. Wallace blinked and glanced back to the Emolga, fast asleep, leaning on a nearby tree for support. Hoping for the best, the Minccino hopped over to go join his new acquaintances for a game of Go Feebas.
Cupid rummaged through the large bag hanging from his shoulder, searching for some spare change to buy an ice cream.
He had found a couple of coins, but it wasn't enough to purchase one just yet.
Sighing, he leaned back into his seat to rest for a bit from his epic search. Slow breaths were taken for a bit before he went back to searching through every inch of the bag's interior.
Finally, he found the remaining coins as he grinned like a giddy child on Christmas morning. Bouncing up from his seat, the Buneary entered the little parlor with the change in his small paw.
He got in line behind a Zoroark as his eyes absorbed the design of the place. Gorgeously made paintings and brightly colored stripes decorated the walls. The place was full of life to say the least, and he was absolutely captured by it.
"Sir, may I take your order?"
The bunny pokémon turned over to find a male Gardevoir staring at him, patiently.
"May I have a Pecha ice cream please?"
"Sure. Anything else?"
"No thanks."
The psychic pokémon nodded and retreated to do his order. Cupid stood there and began to recount his money, making sure he hadn't miscounted.
The Gardevoir came sooner than expected and held out the sweet item.
"Thanks!" chirped the Buneary as he handed the money to the humanoid pokémon.
Making his way out, Cupid sat down where he previously had been seated and looked up at the sky.
He took a lick followed by another as his eyes formed objects with the clouds.
Swinging his legs happily, he reflected on the past few weeks. Much had changed recently, or so he thought.
Finishing school had been one of his recent accomplishments, but the Buneary didn't know what he wanted to do. The idea of an adventure had crossed his mind several times, but Cupid found himself attached to his hometown so much, he doubted he could ever leave it behind.
The bunny pokémon shook his head and smiled. Well, that's why he had his duties as Cupid. To make people fall in love, and he was sure it was working.
Happy with his work, the Buneary stood up and began his journey home, because he was absolutely tired. From what, he didn't know, but neither did he care.
He was just worried about arriving home and eating this delicious ice cream before it melted.
Several rounds of Go Feebas had been played, and Amelia still was unconscious. Not that it mattered; since Teddy found the card game addicting and fun to the point where Molly had begun to regret her decision to teach the Pikachu the game.
Wallace on the other hand, was fighting with himself over whether to say his feelings for his Emolga friend or not. Deep inside he knew not too.
His mother was the servant of Amelia's father for Arceus' sake. He'd only been allowed to make friends with the squirrel pokémon because of Amelia's mother.
However, as the eighth round of the card game ended, he decided he would make his crush known to the Emolga.
First second she'd wake up, he'd ask to talk to her in private and reveal it there. Yes, the Minccino liked that plan, but the swirly movement in his tummy made him nervous.
However, the worst thing she could do to him was laugh and call him an idiot. Sadly, he was afraid that would happen. He knew her well. Really well, and the Minccino could recall all the things she'd done to previous males in her life excluding her father and well, Wallace himself.
But that didn't stop him from developing those emotions for her.
The group was about to start yet another round when they heard a groaning sound. Among them, Molly gazed over to the Emolga first.
Amelia yawned and sat up, still suffering the consequences of barely waking up.
Wallace gulped and stood up. He took shaky steps over to her at first, but with each step, he regained confidence.
However, that said confidence was washed away when his gaze met hers.
"Oh, hey Wallace," she greeted, stifling a yawn, as she stretched.
"Um Amelia, I need to talk to you...in private."
"Well, okay."
The Minccino offered a paw to the Emolga. Taking his paw into hers, she stood up and waited.
He bit his lip and paced off, beckoning for her to come along.
She obliged and went after him. The trio watched on but didn't do a thing.
"This should be interesting..." noted Jordan.
"Who cares! More Go Feebas!" Teddy yelled as she clutched her cards, eager to get back to their game.
Molly and the Zangoose groaned in response.
The gray fur ball stopped in his tracks and heaved a sigh. Anxiety had consumed him, and it was evident when he turned to face the female he'd grown to care about more than he would've liked.
She stared up at him, and it was clear she hadn't an idea of what was happening.
Taking a deep breath, Wallace began his confession, "Amelia...ever since we were children, we've been good friends...I think, but for a while now...I...I..."
"You what?"
His face had reddened a bit by now as he stumbled over his words, "I've...I've had...feelings...for you...and...I...I think...I...might l-love...your soup."
"What?" she stepped back, thinking her childhood friend had gone mad.
"Ah! No, no. Not your soup, because I mean, you don't even cook soup. You can't even cook and-wait what are you-?"
The blush that had been forming on his face was in full blown force as the Emolga enveloped him in a kiss.
She pulled away after a few seconds and giggled at his expression. A dumbfounded look had curled up and settled itself on his face and he found himself touching his mouth in a confused manner.
"Is that what you mean?"
"Ehh...uhh...um," he nodded and swallowed.
"Well then, I think I love you too," Amelia chirped as she hugged him.
Even though he was unable to move on the outside, he was secretly exploding like fireworks on the inside.
And it was all because she loved him back.
