(Don't own! Send support to Pinkpelt; I think she's grounded... we can only hope not...)

Luna began to laugh as they headed back to the house. "I knew boys were fuckwits." Luna headed outside to where the dogs were. Raikou stood up. "Godchild, I must return home. If you ever need me, I will bring the wrath of the skies with me."

He sped off, as Luna waved. "Godchild, I must go. If you have need of me, you need only to call my name. I will be there." Entei said, and then he too sped off. Suicune lazed in the snow.

"Luna, thank you. You have proven yourself to be the rightful Godchild. Shall we go to Karihi City, you and your mate?" Luna blushed. "We're FRIENDS!" Suicune raised an eyebrow, but said nothing. "As you shall."

Luna went in, said goodbye to her mom, and growled at Lance, "Break her heart, and I'll eat yours." She hugged both of them, waved, and flew out of the house, Salem chasing behind her. Lance sighed. "Wow. Is she still pissed about the mini wheats?" Lorelei shut the door. "There are no words, I know." Luna and Salem got on Suicune's back, and away they went.

"Suicune, you need a name. I feel uncomfortable calling you after your species... does Kalisha sound okay? My mom said—" "It means purity in the ancient language of pokemon. Yes, I think it is most fitting." "How'd you know that?" Salem asked. Kalisha laughed.

"I invented the language." Salem nodded. 'Oh, yeah." "Hey, Kalisha? Vita doesn't know who the Espeon and Umbreon were, the ones who gave power to the sun and moon. Do you?" Kalisha thought.

"I believe their names were Areslea; that was the Espeon. The Umbreon was Hadreas." Luna nodded. "Did they ever have kits?" "You think that your Espeon and Umbreon are descended from them, don't you?" Luna nodded.

"It is certainly possible. But I cannot answer that; the stars are not my territory. Rayquaza or Jirachi may know; we can ask them." Luna nodded. "Luna, we shall be there soon. You and Salem rest, okay?" Luna nodded. She turned back to Salem.

"Night, Salem." He flopped down next to her, Nightvein and Kita keeping him warm. "Night, Luna." She fell asleep. He was awake, however, and sat and watched her for awhile, muttering to herself in her sleep. All the while, Luna slept on, snorting every five seconds, making everyone in a five-mile radius jump.

A while later, Salem woke her up. "Luna, look!" She stretched. "Oh, wow!" The city was amazing. The buildings were tall and dark, the spires reaching towards the sky. "Wow. It's like Hammer horror threw all their sets out here." Salem laughed.

"I guess so. Come on, let's head in." They walked through the city square, and saw that there was a fair going on. "Whoa." Luna gaped. Lights winked, rides spun, and there was...

"COTTON CANDEH!" Luna screeched. Salem rolled his eyes, but followed her. She bought two and held one out. "Want one?" She asked. He took one, and walked with her.

"Wow, I can see why Jirachi'd sleep here." Merope was being petted by a bunch of little children a little bit away. One of the kids looked up. "Is she yours, ma'am?" The young boy asked timidly. A well-loved Absol plush hung from his hand.

Luna nodded, and said, "You want to play with her, I guess?" The kids nodded. "Yeah! Please?" Merope nodded. "I'll be fine." Luna sighed. "Alright, but be careful with her."

Luna stayed close, going on a few rides, and just having fun. Merope couldn't stop talking about the kids on the way to the pokemon center. "And one of them even got on my back! She was really easy to carry, so I ferried her around a little. It was really cool!"

Luna laughed, as they headed in. There were a few other trainers there already; three girls, and a few boys. Luna sat down, and let her pokemon wander. "Hi!" One of the girls said, walking up. "What's your name?" "Luna Ashforth. Who're you?" She said. "I am Diana Sonca! This is Razor!" She gestured to a Bulbasaur at her feet.

"You're here to see the fair, right?" Luna shook her head. "Um, I guess. I'd love to, but I've gotta do a few other things, as well." Diana nodded. "Oh, cool. Hey, want to hang out with my sister and my friends with me? We're going to be here for a week or two."

Luna nodded. "Alright, guys!" She gestured to her pokemon. Diana stared at Azrael as they sat down. One girl with wine-pink hair said, "Wow! How'd you get a Houndoom?!" Luna was surprised. "What do you mean?" She asked. "What are you talking about?! Those things are so rare! They never show themselves to people! Houndour, too!" Luna was shocked.

"I thought it was because no one liked them that there weren't any." The girl shook her head.

"No, people want them because they're so powerful. I mean, yours is a fighting machine, right?" Luna scratched Azrael's head, contemplating this. "I guess..."

"Was he a family heirloom? He's been in your family forever, I bet!" The girl's eyes glimmered greedily, imagining the powerful lineage Luna must've had to get a Houndoom. The girl shook her head. "No, people want them because they're so powerful. I mean, yours is a fighting machine, right?" Luna scratched Azrael's head, contemplating this. "I guess..."

"Was he a family heirloom? He's been in your family forever, I bet!" The girl's eyes glimmered greedily, imagining the powerful lineage Luna must've had to get a Houndoom. Luna shuddered at the word 'heirloom'.

"Okay, Rikha. Enough." Diana warned. Luna shook her head.

"It's okay. And no, he's not a family heirloom. My mom trains water pokemon. He saved me from a pack of Poochyena when I was four." Luna, however, thought.

"If he's so rare, like this girl says, and they never show themselves to humans, why did he stay with me?" Luna realized she'd never asked Azrael why he had saved her.
