A/N; Hey guys. I know I haven't updated in forever but a deadly unicorn known as 'Writers Block' slit my Idea Vain resulting in a major creativity clot.. So, in my spare time I've been writing about other Pokespe stuff. I have this one christmas-themed (don't ask) about Ruby's pervert-ness as he passes puberty. That's gonna be posted soon. Then, there's this story about Diamond getting lessons from his seniors on how to go to a nightclub (little does he know they are inexperienced, lol.)

Well, anyway. This chapter might sort of suck. I've been taking all of your reviews into consideration. I reply to the quality ones...sometimes.

Disclaimer; If I owned Pokemon, I probably would've told you the last three chapters, right?

Sapphire's P.O.V

I never understood what Crystal always talked about. Apparently, there are two kinds of silences.

Comfortable ones and Uncomfortable ones.

Now I know what she means.

Comfortable silences are like sitting in front of the fireplace, right? Reading a book (or so I've been told) or watching a movie.

Sure, comfortable silences make sense. But I don't think I had ever experienced an uncomfortable one.

Until today.

There was nothing to say. Well, at least nothing to say without being 'mean' or whatever.

Then Ruby, being his annoying Ruby-self pipes up with a voice so cheerful it hurts and says

"Hey! Let's play a game!"

Crystal makes a face like 'oh-my-dear-god-thank-you'

"That's a great idea!"

I felt like I was trapped in a television show meant for five-year-olds.

"Fine. Whatever." A distracted Gold mutters. Probably distracted because, well, Crystal sort of just confessed her love for him or whatever.

If only Ruby did that..

Oh, wait. I'm getting off topic. Anyways, Ruby says, "How about I say a word and you say the first word that pops into your head?"

"Isn't that something therapists do to their patients?" I say quietly, evoking a rather unfriendly look from Crys.

"Okay..." says Crys thoughtfully. "Tomato."

"Food" responds oh-so-creative Ruby.

"Trapped." mumbles Gold.

"Snow." I offer.

"Trapped." says-you guessed it- Gold.

"This game is stu-" I begin, but I break off when I remember our little 'peace treaty' earlier.

"-pendous. This game is stupendous but I'm growing bored of it."

We slump back into our corners, and there resumes the silence.

Ruby's P.O.V

It's been awhile now. Honestly, I have NO idea whatsoever what time it is. The windows are still covered in ice, and there's no space to see the sun or the moon or anything.

It's just me and Gold. Crys and Sapph are off into one of the backrooms probably talking about girl stuff.

Like their periods or something.

Erm. Nevermind that thought. Off-topic.

I say to Gold, "You've been awfully depressed lately. What's wrong?"

He glances up at me from his upright fetal position and says, "What did you do when Sapphire confessed?"

I snap into 'Actor Mode' so fast my brain can barely register it. I answer with the same broken-record statement I've said all this time. The whole five years.

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Yeah, right. We ALL know Sapph' is telling the truth. She not the kind to lie, if you know what I mean."

I shake my head and look at him, trying to look as concerned as possible. Obviously, my super-duper fabulous acting skills help.

Wow. You wonder why people say you're gay.

Oh great. I hope it's normal to have conversations with yourself like this, because if not, I have some sort of mental illness.

Shut up. I..er. mind retort?

No, but really, bro. I've never heard of any self-respecting teenage boy who uses the word 'fabulous'

I figure that my conscience must be like some sort of demonic Tinkerbell. Response only makes them louder.

"Hey! You all right?" Gold's voice pulls me back into reality.

"Yes. What did you think was wrong?" I say, worried about the fact that Gold has his head tilited and his mouth opened like some sort of confused Lillipup.

"Your were staring off into space." he responds.

Little did I realize at that moment that I had just saved myself from that Arceus-forsaken question that never seemed to escape me. I mean, Sapphire stopped asking by the time we were fourteen.

I didn't know if I should be happy with that or not. I'm very organized and planned out (if I do say so myself) but no graphic organizer or pros and cons list could help me with that one.

I huddle myself into my corner, and spot Gold wiggling over towards the hallway.

You see, the cabin is organized like the letter 'Y'. The main area is the bottom part of the Y, with a small kitchen and living room that we've been hanging out around in. Then, the hallway branches off into two individual rooms. The rooms have been deemed useless ever since we realized the snow busted the windows in there, so not only is it cold in there, but also insanely cramped.

"What are you doing?" I ask him.

I see that oh-so-familiar gleeful look in his eyes and that crazy 'i'm-about-to-do-something-earning-me-a-kick-in-the-testicles' grin.

"Listening in on the girls. Duh."

Gold's P.O.V

I'm in a much better mood now. Eh, I'm just not the kind of person to get all in a huff about something and stay mad about it.

I don't know if I should be happy or not about Crys saying she likes me. I mean, she COULD just be saying it because she was really mad in the heat of the moment.

Plus, I might kinda like her too.

I mean, I would make out with ANY girl if I had the chance. It's just that Crystal seems to have the 'Preffered' box checked next to here name.

Not only that, but she's nice. Smart, I suppose.

Whatever. I'm just tired. I don't know what I'm saying. Well, I'm straining to hear the girls, but all I can hear is this annoying tap on the roof.

At first it's really light. Like a tick..tick..tick..

But within a few minutes, it becomes Tap-tap..Tap-tap..Tap-tap..

For some reason, I don't notice but somehow everybody like, materializes into the living room and is staring at the cealing like there is a dead body hanging by it's neck or something.

"B-but..." Crys mumbles. "That... Doesn't make any sense. There's snow on the roof. How can.. How can there be space for something to tap on?"

We all look at each other. Suddenly, I feel like we're trapped in some sort of demented slasher movie.

Oh, Mew no! The hunky guy ALWAYS is the first to die!

Unless the hunky guy is Ruby in this situation.

Which probably isn't the case.

Unless our murderer is gay.

Which I seriously hope right now.

?'s P.O.V

"Dammit, knock it off!" snaps the girl in front of me.

"Wow. Somebody's cranky~" sings the short boy next to me.

"Seriously, guys! They'll hear us!" orders the girl.

Why did I agree to do this stupid thing in the first place? Honestly, I don't care if Ruby and Sapphire are 'KAWAIII' or if Gold and Crystal are 'MEANT TO BEEEE'

I really just want to go home, make some hot chocolate and catch up on my research.

The brunette snaps her head around as the little green-eyed midget taps his foot on the roof again, in a little waltz-like tune.

"Listen, you little twerp." she growls.

"The fate of four star-crossed lovers are in the balance here!" she says, gesturing dramatically.

The green-eyed boy sends his hands up in the air, an obvious expression of forfeit. "Gosh. Fine, I'm done."

While she orders her Blastoise to chill down the ice some more (it's starting to get a little melted), I just can't help but murmur two words.

Pesky girl...

A/N; BWAHAHAHA MASSIVE TWIST.

not really. i hope you liked it. kind of short but whatever, the next will be longer, i pinky promise. i estimate probably three or four more chapters for this. after that, i'll focus more on my upcoming fics.

R&R PLEASE.
