Author's Note: Yes, yes. I think typing up one chapter a week is a good plan. I am busy, so I do wish that I could type up more, it's just I can't. Sorry! But the two questions are down. Actually, the one where I asked for the episode of Haruka first meeting Shuu is still up, but the other question is down.
Disclaimer: I do not own pokemon, the characters, or a dating show.
"Where are we?"
It was rather amusing to watch the scene unfold. The two had run far in to the next city. The boys following were huffing after trying to keep up, but ended up not being able to. Now all Michael Finn had to do was go save the lost ones, and he would be easily able to shine good light on himself in May's eyes.
Of course, Michael Finn knew where Drew and May were lost. He had watched from the screen as they ran all the way there.
Haruka was reaching her limit of patience. How had Shuu—and herself—been so reckless as to run in an unknown direction? And how had they ended up in a city? The city, despite its actual self, had its perimeters look all alike.
Shuu heard her groan again, followed by a sigh. Haruka must've been losing her patience, but she wasn't the only one. He was getting irritated as well. He was smart. He was intellectual. People knew it. He knew it. Yet, he couldn't remember which way he had come?
"How did you ever manage to go around Hoenn?" Shuu said annoyed, but breaking the upset silence. "What do you mean by that?! I traveled more than you! Not only did I go to contests, I visited all the gyms!" she replied back roughly. He could counter this fine. "Yes, but it wasn't really you who went to the gyms, it was Satoshi, right?" "Despite the fact that it was Satoshi who battled in gyms, that doesn't mean I wasn't there to travel there and not get lost!" "What are you implying?" "I'm implying that that maybe my old traveling group is much better than you!" "Well, it was probably because you're nerdy little brother was there." "Don't insult my brother! Besides, we mainly could travel using a pokenav, just like you, yet you managed to get lost." "Do you see a pokenav around here somewhere?" "Tch! If only we had a map—"
Haruka cut off, her eyes widening. "Oh…" she trailed lightly, "A map…" Why hadn't she thought of that before? More so, why hadn't he thought of that before? "Alright. Let's go find a map." Shuu said indifferently walking toward one of the many buildings. "Wait!" she cried out, running after him.
What were they talking about? Who was Satoshi? She had a younger brother? What was a poknav? And the gyms; did he mean a fitness gym?
Michael Finn glared at the screen. He bet the screen knew more than he did on the topic Drew and May were discussing. All he could do was listening and using his comprehensive skills.
The two were scurrying around from building to building, asking for a map and bickering in between. Why were they so close? They were childhood friends, he had thought, but just then she had said she hadn't traveled with him. Travel? When had they gone 'traveling'? When they were young, apparently, but weren't they, or had been, too young to go on their own? They were sixteen now.
Michael Finn pulled up his laptop and web searched 'Hoenn'. An error sign popped up and asked for him to shut down his computer or restart it. He growled, complying. Why were their lives filled with so many questions?
"Are you stupid, something?! That was a bar. Why would a bar have a map?!" Shuu asked aggravated. "Well, anyone could have a map or at least directions! Besides, it doesn't look like a bar from outside…" Haruka said, just as aggravated as he was. "It says," he said pointing to a sign, "'All-American Bar'. What do you mean it doesn't look like a bar?" "Well, if you knew that, and saw the sign, why didn't you say something?!" "I didn't know you were so ignorant!"
Michael Finn growled even more. In the middle of their argument, they had slipped in to a different language, most likely Japanese. Not that they realized it themselves.
Haruka huffed and turned away, crossing her arms like a child.
He smirked. He couldn't help it; she looked too cute when she was angry.
His eyes widened, and the smirk vanished. Where did that thought come from? When had he ever thought anything was cute?
"Satoshi was a much better companion than you." His eyebrows twitched slightly as his eyes narrowed, "What, did you go out with Satoshi? Are you in love with Satoshi? 'Cause you just won't shut up about that guy!"
Her eyes widened at his remark, surprised and slightly sad, "What?! No—"
"Do I know you two or something?"
