Wow, I looked back at my stats and 1300 views in just 5 days.

Anyways, very nice touch on ch.6 don't you think? I hate to say it, but I believe we've reached the half way point in the series *sigh*. It was a fun ride, well enjoy the story guys.
Chapter 7 – Reunited
The sun rose and the pidgeots began singing their songs as morning arrived. Breo was the first to awake and looked outside with a deep content sigh.
"Today looks like a great day." He said. He looked back at Mochii who was still fast asleep and smiled at her. "This feeling in me, it's like I just don't even care anymore. As if everything that was weighing me down is now gone." He thought to himself.
Never before in his life was he this happy, he couldn't help but take off in a sprint and constantly chuckled jumping over bushes, streams, and even went for a swim in the river. After his fun he went back to the cave to find Mochii still sleeping.
The eagerness in him forced him to shake her awake her first sight of the day was an elated umbreon smiling and huffing in her face. She couldn't help but laugh.
"Hey there sleepy-head." Breo said.
"What time is it?" she responded with a large yawn.
"Time for you to get your lazy ass up and movin." He said back as he nuzzled her up.
After several stubborn attempts of pushing her, Mochii finally rose up as they walked out together in search of food. Mochii was startled by Breo's newfound happiness. She hasn't even seen him this happy in her life. She couldn't have been happier herself as a smile crossed her face.
"What you smiling about?" Breo questioned.
"You silly," she responded giggling, "you're never this happy. What has gotten into you?"
Breo turned to her, "I don't know really? I woke up this morning and I just felt extremely happy for some reason."
"Well it's cute Breo." She said. "In fact," she then lowered herself and jumped on Breo in a surprise pouncing attack and starting nibbling on his ear, "its super cute."
Breo couldn't help but blush at Mochii who, in return, blushed back. Their once tattered relationship was being rebuilt right in front of their eyes. Breo looked at her with sparkle his eyes, the whole scene seemed like it was moving in slow motion. He could see every hip swing and leg movement she made. The sun shined perfectly on her and her fur sparkled in the light. It was as if she was an angel sent from Poke-Heaven. He was speechless and the sight was breathe-taking. Never before had he been struck by a female besides Krystal.
"Could I really be falling for her?" he said in his mind. "This feeling in me, it's as if my heart is filled with lust for her and no one else. Could I have truly moved on from Krystal?"
He had no idea what was going on. Deep down, Breo was changing. His heart was beating loudly as his thoughts quickly changed from Krystal to Mochii. He wasn't completely sure, but something in him told him to pursue this girl.
"Why not," he asked, "she even said she had feelings for me, and now, I'm starting to develop feelings for her."
"Breo, you coming?" she asked.
"Y-yeah, I'm coming Mochii." He responded with a huge smile.
They walked for hours side by side, picking berries from bushes and sat down in a field to enjoy their breakfast. They laid there on their backs looking up at the clouds.
"Breo, can I ask you something?" Mochii said.
"What is it?"
"Will you come back with me? We need to head home."
There was a long pause between them.
"Don't tell after all this time, you still don't wanna go home." Mochii said with shock.
"It's not that Mochii, it's just…" Breo said with hesitation.
Mochii looked deep into his mind with her psychic ability.
"Oh my gosh, you still have feelings for Krystal?!" she said as her face became flustered. "I thought we finally made a connection for once Breo?"
"Mochii please, yes I still have feelings for her, but they don't just go away forever. I do like you Mochii, a lot. But going home now is just something I can't do until I get my head on straight."
"What about us then?" Mochii said in a low tone.
Breo licked her cheek caringly, "You're still welcome to follow me if you wish."
"Okay, but Breo will you promise me one thing?" she said looking up at him, inches from his face.
"Anything Mochii."
"Promise that you'll never leave me again. You hurt me so much when I had to watch you walk away that night. You caused me so much pain." Tears began to well up in her eyes. Breo did nothing but pull her in for a deep kiss.
As they broke away Breo whispered to her, "I promise. I'm sorry for everything I've done to you and my friends." He pulled her into his embrace as she got choked up and he felt her light sobs against his chest.
They laid there in that field for hours, holding each other.
"It's time for us to keep moving." Breo said getting up.
"Why do we have to keep moving?" Mochii asked curiously.
"I can't tell you, it's a surprise." He said winking at her.
She took a deep breath and continued on alongside Breo. Deep in her mind, she admired him for everything. She looked past his faults of abandoning them; she couldn't care about that now. She was with Breo now and that's all that mattered now.
They continued to walk across the field until it got dark. The sun had set and the crickets had sprung out chirping their lullabies.
"Breo, shouldn't we find shelter for the night?" Mochii asked in concern.
"We are, the place is just over this hill." He said breaking out in a slight jog. She was surprised that he still had any energy left after all his running and craziness this morning.
They reached the top of the hill and Mochii was anxious to see this mystical wonder of his. She was devastated to see that it was just an ordinary cave.
"Really, a cave? You brought me all the way out here for a cave?" she said with a deep expression of shock.
The darkness hid her growing anger at him as she gazed at him with a very enraged look in her eyes. She was about to bust this kids ass wide open, until he spoke.
"Not just a cave Mochii, come with me and look inside the cave."
She decided to humor him and look what was inside before she kicked his ass. They went deeper into a cave until they came to a dead end.
"Time to kick his ass now." She thought. But then Breo moved a rock from a small hole in the wall.
"Through here." He said.
They crawled through the hole until they reached the other side. What she saw was breath taking. All along the walls and ceiling were crystal stalactites and stalagmites that shined with a series of fluorescent beauty. Her heart stopped in awe of her surroundings, she felt like a pup again watching the fireflies swarm around her.
"Like it?" Breo asked.
"Breo…this is…amazing!" she said in astonishment.
Mochii looked around and saw a pile of weeds, leaves, and twigs.
"Does someone live here?" she asked curiously.
"Just me, this is where I went when I left the first time."
"Why did you come back here then, and better yet, why did you insist I come with you?" she asked looking at him.
"I told you, I wanted to get away from all the pain. Look at this place Mochii. The place erases all sadness and pain from your mind. It's a place of peace and harmony, and you didn't have to come with me you know." He said chuckling at her. "But I'm glad you did."
"And why's that if I may ask?"
"Because, this is where I promised I'd bring my closest friend." Breo said with blush in his face. "But I already broke that promise."
"How so?" she responded.
"Because I didn't bring my closest friend."
"What, you mean I'm not your friend?!" she yelled.
He began laughing at her and slowly made his way to Mochii with a smile on his face.
"Nope, you're not." He said.
"Then what am I to you!" she said as her face began to burn red and her eyes began to water.
He leaned in and whispered in her ear, "You're more than a friend to me Mochii. I brought you here to become your mate."
She was completely taken off guard, as tears began streaking down her red cheeks; Breo looked into her sparkling eyes and kissed her. His tongue breached her mouth and their tongues danced with each other embracing their saliva as their eyes closed savoring the moment which lasted for what felt like forever.
Their kiss finally broke and they stared into each other's eyes.
"Oh Breo, you finally grew some balls." She said giggling.
"All I needed was a friend like you to help me see the light."
They laid down on Breo's small bed and looked up at the moonlight shining through a hole in the ceiling. The light reflected off the crystals and illuminated the cave in an almost hypnotic fashion. They soon fell asleep, Mochii nuzzled into Breo's chest, and their own personal display of the Northern Lights above them. Breo whispered one last thing in Mochii's ear before falling asleep.
"Good night my sweet mate."
Well it finally happened. This marks the beginning of a long awaited partnership. Will it last, or crumble before they even truly get started? Find out in the next coming chapters.
