Through that day, Fennel's heart fluttered inside her chest. She laid a hand on it and smiled, watching the slight breeze twirl the leaved of the ground.

It was the late afternoon and the weather had begun to cool. The heat that made everyone in Nuvema drip into a pool had ceased and was now a warm, relaxing breeze. The freak hot wave would be over by the next day and it brought relief to all of the citizens of the town.

Fennel held her face in her hands as her smile grew. She had been giggling and smiling to herself all day since the incident earlier. Although, Fennel could hardly refer to such a thing as an incident, more like a dream come true in her eyes.

"Such a wondrous feeling~" she cooed as she spun in a circle, her feet dancing along side the leaves from the trees of Nuvema.

Juniper fanned herself lightly which a folder. The breeze had picked up, but the building still felt warm from all of the trapped heat.

She leaned back in her chair and called out to one of the lab assistants, "Hey, can you open the doors or something? It's still pretty hot in here."

"Yes, ma'am." he replied, turning to head towards the door. He stopped however and turned back around, "Um…Professor?"

"What is it?" she asked, rocking herself a bit in the chair.

"I hope you don't mind me imposing but…all of us were wondering…what exactly happened with you and Fennel earlier?" he asked, his words were slow and careful as if he was trying to avoid possibly setting off Juniper with such a personal question.

She blinked her eyes for a moment, taking in the question.

"Uh…" she finally responded and stood up, pushing her chair in, "Don't worry yourself over it. It was just Fennel being her…Fennel self."

"But that doesn't explain why you-" he was cut off suddenly by Aurea.

"I think I am going to take a walk." she began to step past him and head towards the door, "Can you make sure Minccino eats dinner?" she added as a last minute question before she walked out the door into the Nuvema air.

The brunette took in a deep whiff of the late afternoon air. The warm breeze made the sweat that dripped on her skin turn to ice and cause her to shudder. She wiped her forehead and shook her head, trying to get off the initial chills.

Aurea strolled through the town, walking along it's paths as she looked at each of the towns people. All of them looked happy as they rushed home for supper, each going in to their own homes to spend cherish able moments with their loved ones. The thoughts made Juniper smile, it was a calm and warm feeling that made her feel just like the settling breeze that wafted all of the scents of the nearby forest into her nose.

Her attention shifted however when she heard a faint sound of what appeared to be singing. She walked closer to the sound and heard the sound of rustling leaves accompanying it.

The woman peered around the corner of a building right before the forest that surrounded the town began. Another woman was spinning, smiling and singing to herself in an absolute joyous emotion. Aurea pulled herself from behind the corner and placed her hands on her hips, looking at the woman in front of her.

"Always in a dream, eh, Fennel?" she asked, walking closer to the spinning black haired woman.

"But isn't it just wondrous?" Fennel asked back, her cheeks flushed a bright pink and her eyes filled with a sparkle. "I almost can't believe we are living in a reality right now! We must be in a dream!"

The other chuckled, pushing a strand of hair behind her ear, looking into towards Fennel. "What will I do with you?" she asked before placing her hands back on her hips.

Fennel danced over to her, "Love and accept my weird behavior?"

"That's what I have been doing for years." Juniper replied, looking straight into the shimmering eyes of the other.

The other woman's smile grew brighter, hearing Juniper say that made her heart flutter even more. "It's going to burst from my chest~" she whispered in almost a squeal.

Juniper smiled at her before she took Fennel's hand. "Come on, don't seclude yourself here, it's getting late, we don't need any pokemon coming along and messing up your mood."

Fennel's grip tightened around her friend's hand, she was still smiling like a moron. "Where are we going exactly?"

The other shrugged, "Walk around Nuvema I suppose? It was what I was doing before I came across you."

Aurea and Fennel walked through the streets of Nuvema until they came across the scenery looking over the ocean. They walked over to the railing and Juniper leaned her body against it, looking out to see the sun fall into the horizon.

"Ah! It's so beautiful!" Fennel cried, a wide smile across her face as she grabbed the railing, pulling her body up and leaning far over as if in attempts to try and get closer to the setting sun.

"Be careful." Juniper joked, placing her hand on Fennel's back, tugging her coat slightly.

Fennel pulled herself back down and just continued to lean over far, gazing at the reflection of the water so far away, watching the reflections dance across the water.

Juniper smiled at Fennel, running her fingers through some of her long, dark hair. She pushed a piece back behind Fennel's ear as she watched the woman's eyes shimmer with excitement. Never before had Aurea bothered to look at the beauty of Fennel, they way her eyes sparkled every time she spoke. The woman held such passion in every single word and it seemed like she was about to overflow with emotion at any moment. Her dedication seemed strong and it reflected with her everlasting beauty.

The brunette slowly pulled her hand away from Fennel's soft hair and leaned back against the railing, staring back out into the water along side Fennel. Fennel had rested her arms and head on the railing, her eyes drifting slightly as if being pulled by the dying light.

Juniper looked back at her and smiled.
