Fennel held onto Munna as she giggled quietly to herself. Munna would occasionally release a sound of discomfort every time Fennel squeezed the Pokemon's body too hard. Fennel would quickly release the Pokemon before she would forget and hug Munna again.

The scientist was back in her lab in Striaton. She felt so far from Juniper, even though in actuality it wasn't too terribly far. Juniper was the one who took her back to Striaton, simply to ensure that Fennel made it back safely. However, being this far from her friend…well her lover, seemed so difficult.

But she couldn't help but have that bubbly feeling inside of her.

Fennel's cheeks were flushed with pink the entire time. She bit her bottom lip as she smiled, thinking of how they kissed, thinking about how they spoke those three special words together.

The woman pushed away from her desk as she spun in her rolling chair. That was it, she couldn't focus. She was in a dream and she never wanted to wake up. She was on cloud nine and the light was shining brightly above her. Nothing would rain on her parade and nothing would ever bring her down from that cloud.

A ring suddenly broke her happiness, breaking her joy filled daze. Fennel looked to her side and saw the phone ringing.

Fennel rolled herself over to the phone and answered it, a smile growing across her face when she saw Aurea's face pop up once the screen was illuminated.

"Aurea!" Fennel exclaimed with happiness.

"Hey, Fennel." Juniper spoke back, her tone was calm and her smile matched. It was clear that Juniper was able to contain her excitement with much more ease than her dear friend. Then again, Juniper's lab was filled with far more lab assistants than Fennel. Fennel had less people to freak out.

But, everyone understood what Fennel was like already and the way she acted.

Aurea, on the other hand, was nothing like that. For her to be all happy and jubilant similar to Fennel would put such a shock to all the lab assistants around her that people would presume she was a fake.

Not that the woman wasn't happy. She loved Fennel, she cared for the ditzy scientist with such compassion. She longed and desired for her secretly all of these years, but she never let it show. To everyone they were just friends, although the two were clearly more. Juniper was a calm woman though. She never got too excited over anything, even if she felt it bubbling inside her.

"I was just making a call to tell you that I made it back to Nuvema safely." Juniper said with a smile.

Fennel's eyes filled with happiness, it made her stomach flutter with joy to know that Juniper called her to make sure that the woman wouldn't worry. "That's good to here."

"How are you holding up since the big scare?" Juniper questioned.

Fennel had completely forgotten about that. Her thoughts had been so tied up in the aftermath of what had happened that the near death incident was completely covered by a cloud. "Oh yeah…" Fennel held a finger to her lip as if trying to think about it, "I'm doing fine."

"It's seemed to me like it was better than fine." Aurea smirked, leaning back in her chair a bit.

The other scientist looked back at the screen and smiled, "You know me. Everything is better than fine."

"Only you would be able to giggle after almost dying." the other woman joked before laughing.

Fennel chuckled as well, agreeing completely with her.

"Anyways," Juniper stopped herself from laughing, "I just wanted to make sure you were okay. I need to be heading out now…"

"What?" Fennel asked, as if in disbelief, "Already?"

The brown haired woman nodded, "Yeah," she began, "I've got tons of stuff to do tomorrow and I need to get ready for it tonight."

Fennel frowned, looking towards the ground. "Oh…"

"If you want to stop by we can have lunch-"

"Let's!" the eager dark haired scientist interrupted.

Juniper laughed again, "Haha, alright. I will see you then. Goodnight, Fennel."

"Goodnight, Aurea." she replied with a smile before she hung up the phone and the screen went black. "Oh how I would love to see her dreams…" Fennel cooed to herself, pushing herself with her feet to propel the rolling chair back to her desk. She placed her elbows on her desk and used her hands to rest her head as she closed her eyes.

Munna floated by and cooed along with her.

She looked up at her Munna, her cheeks bright pink as she asked, "What sort of things do you think she dreams about?" She talked to her Pokemon as if she was presuming that they would talk back to her in her human language. "I wonder if she ever dreams of me."

Fennel closed her eyes again, "I know that when I have a dream about her, it's always like she is my night in shining armor."

Munna slowly drifted away. Fennel didn't even notice.

The woman opened her eyes and gazed out the laboratory window, the cool breeze drifted in as it naturally cooled the room. "How beautiful." Fennel smiled, her eyes closing a bit. She took in the night air and let it fill her lungs, the sweet smell of the forest that poured in, it was magical.

Striaton's streets were slowly growing quiet. Shopkeepers closed their stores, lights clicked off one by one.

The only thing left was Fennel's lab. The light being the only thing that was still illuminating within the city.

The city was asleep, the city was dreaming, and soon, Fennel would be to as she closed her eyes, listening to the night Pokemon as they created the melodies of the night.
