"Speech"
'Pokemon speech.'
'I don't understand why they won't get along,' a female Ninetales said, wrapping one of its long nine tails around a male Arcanine's tail.
'I don't understand either, my love.' the Arcanine said.
The two were talking about their trainers. They always fought, but knew deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, DEEP down, they didnt mean the insults they threw at each other.
'I wish we could get them together,' Ninetales sighed.
"What do you mean by that?!" the two Pokemon heard Zoey yelling.
"I mean that they way you train is weak. Your strategy sucks. Your Pokemon are weak." Paul yelled back.
Ninetales pretended to be coughing, but spewed out a light flame at him. He ducked in time before it hit his head.
'Don't worry, you are not weak.' Arcanine insisted.
"You can't even control your Pokemon!" Paul said.
"Oh shut up! You insulted her, and she got defensive! If I were a Pokemon, I'd be shooting you with all my attacks!"
"Oh and what would you chose? A Magikarp? Because you're pretty weak!"
The two fire Pokemon groaned.
'We have to get them together,' Arcanine said.
'Oh yeah.' Ninetales agreed.
"Ooh!!" Zoey yelled stomping her foot.
"Aren't you a little old for that?" Paul asked. Zoey was so angry, her hands were trembling.
'She's gonna kick him.' Ninetales said.
'What?!' Arcanine asked.
"OW!" Paul yelled grabbing his shin.
Ninetales started laughing.
Zoey had kicked him.
"Dang girl!" Paul grumbled.
Zoey scowled as he stood up straight.
'He wants to punch her but isn't going to.' Arcanine said.
'So, how are we gonna get them together?'
'I have an idea.'
'Tell me.'
"Shut up already Paul!!"
"Why should I? Gettin' too angry?"
"Oooh!!!!!"
"Is that all you have to say?"
"If I said half the things I wanted to, I'd be going to heck!"
"If you said half the things you do know, I wouldn't have a headache everytime I see you!"
Zoey lifted her hands and imagined squishing his head with her hands. She took a deep breath.
"I'm done." she said.
"Done?"
"Done. Done with you. Done trying to put up with you. Done with you at all!"
Arcanine had just finished telling Ninetales about his plan. She agreed to help.
"Oh please. You've said you're done plenty of times. Yet here you a-ah!" Arcanine ran up behind his trainer and pushed him closer to the scarlet haired girl. Ninetales did the same to Zoey. They pushed their trainers until they were right up against each other.
Zoey looked at her Pokemon.
"Ninetales!!" she scolded quietly.
"Arcanine stop it!" Paul said.
Neither could help but notice the slight blush that was forming on each other's faces.
"Aw, Paul is flushing! How cute!" Zoey cooed sarcastically. Paul glared at her but she brushed it off.
"And like you're not." he snapped. Zoey turned a hot pink color.
Ninetales said something that only Arcanine and Zoey could understand. Zoey got redder.
"I told you to never say that out loud!!" she whispered sharply.
"Is something thinking naughtily?" Paul said folding his arms, smirking and cocking an eyebrow.
"Wouldn't you like to know," said Zoey rolling her eyes.
"I would."
Arcanine said something as well.
"Why would I?!"
Zoey gasped.
"What?!" Paul asked getting nervous, but not letting it show.
"Why did he just say that?"
"Say what?"
"The last thing he said. Ninetales has been translating the whole time!"
Paul took out a Pokeball and returned Arcanine. He pushed Zoey away from him. She stumbled backwards a bit before landing on her rear. Her knees were bent and her hands were on the ground behind her.
"I don't love you, I don't even like you. We're barely even friends. We're like rivals." he said harshly before walking away, his fists clenched and shaking. His voice had been cracking when he said it.
Ninetales said to go after him. She stood up and ran towards him.
"Wait!" she yelled. Paul stopped and looked over his shoulder.
When she got to him, she said, "Was- Was that the truth?"
Paul didn't answer.
"I need to know if we're not even friends."
She rested a hand on his arm. He looked from her hand to her face.
"I guess, friends fight don't they?" Paul finally answered. Zoey smiled. Paul smiled very slightly.
Then, he went on, "And I was lyin' when I said that I don't love you. Truth is, Zoey I love you a lot."
Ninetales watched happily, smiling.
"Really?" Zoey asked.
"Yeah."
"Good because I love you, too."
Paul put his hands on the sides of her face, pulled it into his and kissed her deeply. Zoey placed her hands on top of his and kissed him back.
Ninetales smiled even more.
Goes to show, two Pokemon brought them together.
A.N: Yeah, weak ending I know. Don't sue me!
Zoey: Why would they sue you? Becuz it stinks on ice?
Me: shut it!
Paul: review before someone gets hurt... or I hurt someone. *glare*
Zoey & Me: *Back away*
