ML54: I know it's long overdue. And you're all going to hate me because it's so short. But I had to put a chapter like this out because it gives me somewhere to go. As I said, this story will still be on hold while I do Staying at the Hall, but some of you guys are getting a little impatient with this. And of course I understand why. Disclaimer please Poliswine.

Poliswine: ML54 doesn't own Pokemon.

Outbursts

"So you're sure that Volt will get EVERYTHING he needs?" Pachirisu asked Buneary for, possibly, the hundredth time. Most of them were going out to the town to see the sights with the four visitors. But, since Buneary had a broken leg, she needed to stay home.

And since Volt was too young, he also needed to stay. Pikachu was staying as well because he would be too worried about the rabbit pokemon if he left her alone. "Yes, for the last time I have everything. Enjoy your night out. Volt's asleep anyway." The said rabbit pokemon replied, waving her hand to shoo the worried mother.

"C'mon Pachi. Stop hassling Buneary, she can handle a SLEEPING Volt." Buizel told his girlfriend sternly. "Now we need to get ready. We're leaving in like 10 minutes." Pachirisu nodded and rushed upstairs. "Sorry about her. She's just really protective." Buneary shook her head.

"Don't worry. I know." She then nodded to the way Pachirisu went. "Now go get ready. Me and Pikachu can handle Volt." Buizel sighed.

"Yeah. I know you can. Pikachu, I'm not too sure about." He then took off into his and Pachirisu's bedroom.

Oshawott started swaying on his feet by the door, the tune of his recently sung song in his head. Just as his hips swayed, he bumped into Poliswine who had walked up. "Oops. Sorry man." He apologised, standing straight. Poliswine just waved it off.

"It's cool. So why are you so happy?" Oshawott shrugged, hopping to the left.

"I don't know. I can't help the feeling I'm going to burst into song though. Like this is some sort of musical." Oshawott shuddered. "I hate those things. I get those poorly constructed songs stuck in my head all the time!" Poliswine rolled his eyes.

"I think you're over exaggerating a bit." He argued, standing next to him, waiting on the others.

They waited for about ten seconds before Oshawott inquired. "You're thinking about Hey Batter Batter by High School Musical, aren't you?"

"Oh my Arceus! It won't go away!" Poliswine exclaimed, throwing his head onto the ground. "Must! Beat! Song! Out! Of! Head!"

Chimchar and Tepig then walked up and raised their equivalent of eyebrows at the Dual type pokemon. "Should we ask?" Oshawott shook his head.

"Please, oh Arceus, don't!" He countered, now beating his own head into the ground. The two Fire types just shrugged in response. Then Tepig nudged Chimchar.

"I'll bet you Poliswine stops first." Chimchar grinned.

"You're on!"

"Snivy. Are you done yet?" Tranquil asked, staring at the door to the bathroom. "I need to go!" She exclaimed, crossing her legs together as Staraptor crossed by. He stopped ad stepped backwards to meet the fellow bird pokemon.

"You know there's another bathroom just down there, right?" He asked, pointing a wing down the hall he just came from. Tranquil jumped and faced him.

"Oh Arceus! You scared the feathers off me." She replied, glaring at him. She then took in what he just said and rushed off to the bathroom that was just pointed out to her.

Just as she left, Snivy had com out of the bathroom. "Alright I'm...Hey where'd Tranquil go?" Staraptor chuckled.

"I pointed her to the other bathroom." Snivy nodded, slowly growing annoyed.

"Great. I rushed myself for the pokemon that only just decided to go to another area to pee!" She exclaimed. Staraptor just shrugged.

"I don't get why you girls take so long in the bathroom anyway. You look fine, C'mon. We leave in like two minutes!" He then, obviously using Quick Attack, flew down the rest of the corridor. Snivy sighed.

"Your not the one trying to get a dense as a Slowpoke guy to notice you." She replied to thin air as she descended the hall way too.

"Why are they beating their heads on the ground?" She heard Chansey ask, as she came to the group at the door. She looked and saw Poliswine and Oshawott, literally, beating their heads against the floor.

"Something about a musical?" Croagunk suggested. The others turned, surprised he actually said anything. He just stared back at them, unnerving them to turn back towards the pair, Oshawott now rubbing his head.

"And it's gone!" He declared, happily. Poliswine then stopped as well. They then heard a sigh and a cheer and turned to the two Fire types in question.

"I lost another bet!" Tepig complained. Tranquil, who had just arrived, shook her head.

"Give it up Tepig. Your about as lucky as an Exploud in a hall of mirrors who stubbed his toe." The others chuckled at poor Tepig's expense. Well everyone but Oshawott. He was busy staring at Snivy.

She hadn't really done a lot. Just a green dress that her tail lowered to be able to be free. "Was Snivy always this pretty? Well I guess I wouldn't have noticed. She'd been in her tough girl stance." He thought to himself, before shaking the thought from his head and standing up.

"Alright, everyone's here! Let's go!" Piplup cheered, opening the door to the cold while everyone got their coats.

"Piplup! You're coat!" Chimchar called to his wife in worry as she started walking out with out it. He sighed and took it, running slowly after her. The others followed at a calmer pace.

"So Pikachu..." The yellow mouse looked up to see Buneary sitting down with her casted foot up on a stool. "...how's the show going?"

"Mock the Week?" Buneary nodded. "Well, the new series starts next month, so I'm working on new material. But it's getting really hard to make fun of people in new ways." He complained, sitting on the stool, carefully, next to her foot.

"I know you Pikachu. And you're one of, if not, the funniest Pokemon I've ever seen. Others had said so. You're almost famous. I'm sure you can come up with something." She responded, smiling softly at him.

"Thanks Bun'. You always know what to say." As he said this, he leant down and kissed her softly.

Buneary smiled into it and leant forward a bit as well. So the Electric type shuffled to get into a more comfortable position.

Unfortunately, a small box then fell out of his pocket and hit the ground. It didn't make much of a sound, but Buneary heard it with her ultrasenstive ears. She pulled back and looked at the box. "Um...Pika' you dropped...something blue?" He looked down and then held a panicked expression.

"Oh! No-noth... Oh I can't lie!" Pikachu exclaimed, picking the box up and sitting down again. "It's not in my nature to lie." Buneary tilted her head to the side.

"Why would you need to?" She asked, curiosity starting to take over.

"I was going to wait until we could go somewhere a little bit more romantic for this. Not the house. But..." He then got off the seat, and knelt down in front of her, causing her paws to fly over her mouth.

"Buneary...Well I can't really find words that can tell you how much you mean to me. You saved me from getting run over the first time we met and I, for some stupid reason, didn't see how perfect you were until last year. I loved you for about that time, but I guess, deep down I've always loved you. And yet you waited five years yourself until I finally fell for you and still held feelings this strong for me. In many ways I feel I don't deserve a great girl like you. But I've stopped going by what my brain says, and letting my heart guide me. So, Buneary, will you marry me?" Buneary literally had tears streaming down her face by the end of the heart felt sentiment behind the sudden proposal.

"It was always going to be a yes Pikachu. You didn't have to say all of that." Pikachu put the ring on her middle paw-finger (I don't know what to call it.) and hugged her, letting her cry out her tears of joy.

"I know I didn't have to. But I had to get all my feelings out there. You've been letting me know your feelings for so long, it only felt fair." She giggled lightly, pulling back a bit. Leaning up to kiss him, with him meeting in the middle.

ML54: That's for all the Lagomorphshippers! I hope what Pikachu said wasn't too corny or overused or any thing like that.

Piplup: Review if you want this fic rolling back up to speed. No flames though, apparently.
