Alright, let's wrap up this story!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except things that AREN'T Pokémon.
Sapphire was in the passenger seat of her father's car, while Ruby was in the back holding on to the food that they were bringing so it wouldn't fall over or something. Sapphire was texting someone with her new pokegear. She couldn't text very well either. Ruby was reading her messages over her shoulder. He saw that she was texting Crystal. He read the message just before Sapphire pressed the 'send' button.
Crys, I need your help with something tonight
Ruby wondered what she needed help with. He couldn't think of anything she would need Crystal's assistance with. Ruby tried to read her messages again, but Sapphire had moved the pokegear out of his sight in the back seat.
"So where's this party going to be held tonight?" Ruby asked the two in the front seat of the car.
"New Bark Town in Johto. We're going to Professor Elm's place to hold the get-together this year!" Birch said. "I understand you're from Johto, right Ruby?"
"Uh yes sir" Ruby replied.
"It'll be nice to be back home again eh? There's no place like home!" Birch said.
Meanwhile in New Bark Town, Crystal was at Professor Elm's helping him out with the party preparations. Emerald was with her too. He helped a lot with his fake arms and legs by putting decorations up. Emerald kept trying to steal some of the cookies on the food table though. Crystal kept smacking his hand and Emerald retreated to the other side of the room.
"Thank you both for your help. It's the first year we've ever had here so I was nervous." Professor Elm said.
"It's ok Professor. Glad to help!" Emerald said, looking at the cookies in the corner of his eye.
"Don't even think about Emerald." Crystal said as her pokegear went off.
"Fine…" Emerald said.
Crystal opened her pokegear and read the message that Sapphire sent her. Crystal answered back:
What kind of help?
Crystal waited a little bit, still protecting the cookies from Emerald's sweet tooth. Then she got another message from Sapphire. She read it, and then she giggled to herself. Sapphire needed her help with someone tonight.
"Professor Elm, I'll be right back!" Crystal said as she darted out the door. Emerald was going to the cookies yet again until he felt someone pulling his ear. "You're going too." Crystal said dragging Emerald by his ear.
"Where are we going?" Emerald asked still being dragged by Crystal.
"To Gold's. I need his help tonight." Crystal said.
"What do ya mean?"
"Sapphire is asking I help her with a certain thing tonight at the party. So she's going to need all the help she can get."
"I still don't get it." Emerald said confused. "Hey do you even know where Gold's house is?"
"…uhh" Crystal had no clue where his house was.
After a while they asked for directions, eventually they found the house. Crystal saw Gold outside his house playing with his pokémon. Crystal couldn't help but smile. "Yo! Gold!" Emerald yelled out.
Gold looked over and saw the two as they waved at him. "Well, well, well. Emerald and Super Serious Gal. What are you all doing here in little o New Bark? To see me? Well I-"
"Alright shut up, Gold." Crystal said. "We need you to come to the Professor's Christmas Party tonight and-"
Gold then began to laugh. "Nooooo"
"But-"
"No way, I'm not going to sit through another one of those parties EVER again." Gold said, finishing his laugh-fest. "Remember the one last year? That party was the essence of boredom!"
"O come one it wasn't that bad, Gold" Crystal said.
"Yeah Gold. Remember the treat you got last year?" Emerald said grinning.
Gold and Crystal then remembered what happened last year at the party. Gold blushed a little bit but he had a grin on his face, while Crystal's face was completely red. Last year, Gold had tricked Crystal to walk under mistletoe with him. While they were kissing, Emerald took pictures of them and sent them to all the Dex-Holders. It was Gold's background on his computer for 5 months.
"Maybe you'll get another!" Emerald joked.
Crystal hit Emerald on the head, "No he won't. But seriously Gold, this party will be very interesting to someone like you."
"Why? What's gonna happen tonight?" Gold asked.
"Well, see for yourself." Crystal said handing Gold her pokegear.
Gold looked at the pokegear, on it was a message from Sapphire.
I need help with Ruby. I'm determined to get him to say he likes me. I'll need your help though! ;)
Gold just smiled evilly. "Well then, let's help her."
Ruby, Sapphire, and Birch were the first ones there. They were greeted by Elm, Gold, Crystal, Emerald, and some of Elm's assistants. And all of them were staring at Ruby and Sapphire's clothing. Although Gold, Crystal, and Emerald were smirking. They figured this was part of Sapphire's plot to trap Ruby. 'Sapphire's turning into another Blue' Gold thought.
Soon all the other professors arrived as well and they all stared at Ruby and Sapphire's choice of clothing. Ruby was so confused. 'I thought everyone was supposed look nice. I feel so overdressed.' Ruby thought. Sapphire saw Ruby's confused face. She was laughing in her mind.
Ruby was looking around. He saw some professors he had never seen or heard of. He saw Professor Birch talking to Professor Rowan. Professor Rowan's star assistants were holding their own Christmas party. Apparently they were both very rich.
Sapphire then began to look as well. 'Same boring party' she thought. She looked in the corner of her eye and saw Gold and Crystal. Gold and Crystal signaled Sapphire to come over there where they were.
"So, you got a plan Wild-Girl?" Gold asked.
"Not really. I was hoping you all would." Sapphire said.
Gold and Crystal collapsed. "How 'bout mistletoe?" Gold suggested, nudging Crystal with his elbow.
Crystal kicked Gold's leg. "Let's try and make a little more romantic, Gold."
"O please, what do you know about romance?"
Crystal replied by kicking Gold's other leg. "We could pull something off. You're in a dress, he's in a suit, it's Christmas, what else do you need?" Crystal said.
"I got an idea" Gold said getting up in pain.
"Quiet you" Crystal said kicking Gold in the stomach. "Wait! Here's an idea"
Crystal walked up to Sapphire and whispered her idea in Sapphire's ear so Gold couldn't hear it.
"What are you guys talking 'bout over there?" Gold mumbled in pain.
Sapphire's face blushed a little but she had smile on her face. "So wadda think?" Crystal asked.
"I like it. Let's do it."
Ruby was still on the couch, too embarrassed to move, when Gold came along. "Sup, Fashion Boy?"
"Hey…" Ruby replied.
"Dude you're all down and stuff. I know this party's boring and all you got a date, man. Sweep her off her feet! Maybe you'll get a prize if you know what I mean, eh?" Gold joked, joining Ruby on the couch.
Ruby blushed slightly, "You would say that, wouldn't you?"
"That's me! But seriously, how did you get drug down here?"
"Sapphire asked me to."
"And you said yes without a single thought? Man you're whipped!"
Ruby was in a mix between anger and embarrassment, "I didn't say that. I wasn't going to come at first but then ehh…that's beside the point, and I made a deal with her. If she helped me shovel my driveway, I'd go with her."
"Why'd she want you come with her?"
"To entertain her or something, but she's been talking to Crystal this whole time." Ruby sighed. "Coming here was a waste of my time."
"Eh come on dude. You got to see your girlfriend in a dress!" Gold pointed it out.
Ruby blushed, causing him to turn his head. "She's not my girlfriend!"
"I see then…then you won't mind if I go out with her then." Gold said.
Ruby's first thought was to grab Gold's billiard cue and beat him to death with it, but he was still too embarrassed from his outfit to move anywhere. 'Come on dude, get up! Go outside! This isn't going part of the plan' Gold thought. Gold's mission was to get Ruby outside. Two problems with that; it was cold and Ruby was so embarrassed from being completely overdressed, he couldn't move. Gold was thinking of ways to anger Ruby so he would get up…by any means necessary.
"Hey, what's this thing?" Gold said grabbing Ruby's hat.
"H-Hey! Give that back!" Ruby said trying to retrieve his hat.
Gold stood up, "You want it? Come and get it!" Gold ran towards the front door.
Ruby, without thinking, got up and chased after Gold. Gold ran outside in the cold, even he wanted his hat, he wasn't about to freeze to death for it. So he went and found a closet with some winter coats. He grabbed one (They were hideous to Ruby but he didn't care at this point) and chased after the culprit who stole his hat.
It was cold out there, to say the least. Ruby was walking around the front yard. Gold must've had used the time it took Ruby to find a coat to hide from Ruby. 'A game of hide and seek, eh?' Ruby thought. Little did Ruby know that Gold was inside, toasty warm. "Have you completed your task, Gold?" Crystal asked. "Yep, subject is outside, and I have prepared the trap. Now we play the waiting game." Gold answered looking outside trough the window at Ruby.
Ruby walked up into a field covered in snow, with a single tree in the field. But something was in the tree; it was his hat! Gold must've put it in the tree. Ruby ran up to the tree and started to climb it. He was halfway up the tree when Sapphire saw her target. 'Sorry Ruby but it has to be done' Sapphire thought before she threw a rock at Ruby. And right when Ruby grabbed his hat; *bam*! The rock hit Ruby in the chest and made him lose his balance and he fell off the tree. Luckily there was snow to break his fall, but it still hurt.
"O MY GOSH! RUBY! ARE YOU ALLRIGHT?" Sapphire yelled, pretending to be surprised.
Ruby tried to get up but his right leg was in pain. "Don't get up, Ruby. Is it broken?" Sapphire asked.
"I don't know…" Ruby grunted.
"Hmm, let's see!" Sapphire said before she hit Ruby's bad leg.
Ruby yelled in pain and then looked angrily at Sapphire, who had a playful face on.
"Nope, it's not broken. You would have yelled a lot louder otherwise!" Sapphire said laughing.
"Oh ha ha. Very interesting conclusions. Now if you'll excuse me," Ruby said putting his hat back on and standing up, "I'm going back to the lab." Ruby made it maybe two steps before collapsing.
"And how do you propose to get there?" Sapphire asked.
Ruby just grunted angrily. Sapphire just laughed at his misfortune. "Come on, just sit down here beside me" Sapphire said patting a spot beside her. Ruby stared at her some more. "I promise I won't hit you again" Sapphire joked. Ruby got up slowly and sat down beside her. "Beautiful 'aint it?" Sapphire asked.
"Yeah, it is." Ruby said looking over at Sapphire. She looked so beautiful, so elegant, so cold. Sapphire was shivering. "Are you cold?" Ruby asked Sapphire. "N-no." Sapphire lied.
"Here, take this." Ruby gave Sapphire his coat. "Thank you, Ruby" Sapphire said.
"You're welcome," he replied.
"Heh, maybe a dress wasn't the best outfit to wear in the winter, eh?" Sapphire said.
"Guess not…but why did you wear a dress? I thought you said we had to look fancy, but everyone wasn't and they all stared at us like we had weedle crawling out our ears." Ruby said.
"I knew if I wore a dress, you would have come to the party with me without a second thought." Sapphire answered.
Ruby grunted at her. "Then why'd I have to get dressed up like this?"
"Because I wanted to see you in a suit."
Ruby blushed and turned his head so Sapphire wouldn't see his face. After a few more minutes of staring at the scenery, Sapphire broke the silence.
"H-Hey Ruby."
"Yeah?"
"Remember the bet we made this morning? The one I won?" Sapphire reminded him.
"Yeah."
"I know what I want you to do."
'O no, she's going to make do something horrible and revolting.' Ruby braced himself for the worse.
"…Tell me how I look." Sapphire said blushing.
Ruby couldn't believe what he had just heard. "W-What?"
"Tell me how I look. And say what you really mean. What you REALLY, REALLY mean, Ruby!" Sapphire said a voice he hadn't heard in a long time. Ruby hesitated about speaking his thoughts about Sapphire's appearance, but none the less, he did.
"Sapphire, you look like a…beautiful Milotic, swimming gracefully through a large, vast sea in the moonlight." Ruby poetically said.
Sapphire knew what he meant by that. 'Sapphire, you are the most beautiful thing I've ever laid eyes on.'
They both blushed while staring in to each other's eyes. "Y-You really mean that Ruby?"
"All of it" he said.
Sapphire grabbed his hand, and stared even harder into his eyes. She took Ruby's hat and put her hand on Ruby's scar. The scar he had recieved by protecting her. Ruby couldn't move, her touch was the touch of an angel. As they stared at each other, Sapphire knew she had won. Ruby had fallen perfectly into Sapphire's trap. Ruby couldn't look away from Sapphire's beautiful eyes. The way the moonlight reflected off her face was incredible. Ruby had been playing a game of cat-and-mouse with Sapphire for the longest time. But now it was over. Ruby couldn't run away from this one! Crystal's plan had worked!
Ruby's entire body was so warm and his stomach felt like it was being turned inside out. Her face was leaning closer to Ruby's. Ruby, without thinking, started to lean in as well. It seemed like eternity passed by waiting for their lips to finally meet. But soon enough, they did. Both of their bodies were tingling. Sapphire's night was almost complete. All she needed now was to have Ruby tell her that he cared for her. It was almost the very picture of perfection. And speaking of pictures…
*Flash*
Ruby and Sapphire broke apart to see Emerald holding a camera up and was taking pictures of the two kissing. Ruby and Sapphire chased Emerald throughout the night.
Epilogue
Emerald sent the pictures to all of the dex-holders…again. And every time Sapphire, or someone else brought up the subject about them kissing, Ruby would quickly change the subject…let's just say, Sapphire wasn't happy about that.
"No Sapphire! No! Not in the face!" *punch*
Me: Ahhh, done!
Sapphire: Ima gonna kill Emerald for ruining my one chance with Ruby!
Me: There'll be plenty of other tries don't worry.
Sapphire: THERE BETTAR BE!
Me: Calm down, well anyway, review and Merry Christmas!
