This was a fun chapter to do. Why? Sort of because I started writing it when I started writing this fanfiction and saved it... Then I ran out of ideas here and I pasted the rouch chapter in and it made sense and was sooooo cute! XD Anyways, I hope you enjoy~

Oh, just so you know, on my profile, I added my FormSpring account so if you have a question for me, I'd be happy to answer.

Chapter six
Getting Out Early
White

My Xtransceiver ran dead right on the spot. No worries. Because of the technology of these times, you could walk to make these kind of machines charge. I didn't understand it but it didn't really matter.

Mia said to keep the amulet until the end of the week but... I wanted to get out now. What would be the danger? Either way, I hid it in my pocket and kept walking, only to be stopped by a big crowd of grunts. One of them pushed me out of the way.

"Watch it, scrunt face." I yelled at the grunt, appearing to be female. What was a scrunt? She got out of the group to fight with me.

"Well at least I'm not a fugitive." she protested. This made me mad.

"Well I'm not serving a stupid, abused prince." I yelled some more. She stepped back. Take that, loser. She went to reply but the 'oh so clever prince' came in.

"Now, now, that's enough. Go on." he told her. The girl gave me a dirty glare and continued with the group. Then, N turned to me.

"So... You found your amulet?" he asked me in a pleasant tone. I stepped back. Should I say yes or no? I stayed silent. N laughed and pulled something from behind his back.

"What do you think, Mia. Did she?" he asked. Mia who was hiding behind him stayed silent as well for a moment.

"I just want to go home with White and Black..." she finally said. I grinded my teeth. She seemed fine before but now, she seemed lifeless.

"What did you do to her?" I asked, clenching my fists together. N smirked.

"Nothing. She was obliged to tell me you have the amulet and now she feels bad."

"I'm sorry, White..." Mia said, hiding behind N again.

"You did something to her. I was with her just a couple of minutes ago and she was fine!" I yelled, causing a ruckus. Suddenly, I heard some sounds coming from down the hall, causing both N and I to look over.

"White, don't believe him!" Mia yelled. But wait... Mia was here... And there... I looked back at the one that N had brought with him, appearing only to be a mimicking pokemon. A grunt came behind me and started to carry me away. Two other grunts came, one to help the one taking me, the other to get Mia.

"You cheater!" I yelled at N before the one covered my mouth. N looked surprisingly clueless. Yeah, great acting, stupid.

I struggled in the jail cell again. Little hope was with me. They tied me up, blindfolded me, and covered my mouth so I was feeling all alone, and captivated. I couldn't reach any of my hidden weapons and my bag with my pokemon was outside of the cell. Apparently Mia was in the second jail cell but I couldn't tell. She didn't make a sound, nor did I.

'Help...' I thought. The faces of my team flashed before my eyes. I needed to get out of here. I suddenly felt the ropes around my wrists being untied. After that, someone cut away the ropes on my waist to my legs. Then, my blindfold and mouth cover. In front of me was Mia, Anthea, Concordia and N. N? What the crap?

"Get away from me!" I yelled, referring to N. Concordia hushed me.

"If you're going, you have to go quickly." she quietly said. "The grunts will be back any second."

"What are you talking about?" I whispered. Concordia and Anthea looked at each other with worry in their eyes.

"You said you were bringing Mia with you, well Lord N is too." she stated.

"No way, he's not coming near the campsite!" I started to get louder. Mia silenced me, this time.

"White, we can trust him. He had nothing to do with the grunts taking us. They did it on their own will. Lord N just wants to escape, just like we do." she said, gathering all of the rope. "I know better then anyone." she said.

I thought... Mia was like a little sister, and she never lied. Could she be telling the truth?

"Alright..." I gave in without a fight. N's eyes lit up. "But let's get this straight, you're not going to be pampered on, you're not going to be called 'Lord N,' and you're not to stop us or get in our ways. You hear?" I finished my conditions while rubbing my wrists. My body was covered in rope burns now.

"Yeah, sure." he said, pulling me up. "The exit's over here, now let's go." he started running. I turned before leaving.

"Thank you for everything, Anthea. Concordia." I said going to give them the pin back. Concordia shook her head.

"Take it." she said.

"It's yours." Anthea added. I thanked them one more time before fleeing.

After being half way to the campsite, I was getting tired. It was a long way from the castle to the woods and was filled with dangerous paths.

"The grunts must have noticed you two are gone so we have to hurry up." N said, running faster. I looked back, Mia loosing speed.

"Are you okay, Mia?" I asked, slowing down. She nodded as she gasped for air.

"I'll be fine." she said.

Afternoon to dusk... The campsite was in sight. I knocked on a locked light screen. I saw some bushes moving. It must have been someone checking who it was. Then popped out three heads. It was May, Brendan, and Black.

May. Time: 2654. Age: Fifteen. Appearance: Longish brown hair tied up in a bandana. She had aqua coloured eyes and a cheery look to her face. May wore white gloves that were fingerless, black shirt, and a red cover.

Brendan. Time: 2652. Age: Seventeen. Appearance: Silver hair that was short and kept up with a bandana like May. Despite his hair color, he was a young teenager with suitable gray eyes. A blue, fancy looking coat with a white shirt underneeth and shoulder pads like a prince.

We all heard some muffled voices from the light screen separating us. I could make out the words.

"Oh my god, it's White! May, go open the light screen!" Black yelled, getting closer. He placed his hand on the screen. I placed mine on the same place.

"It's White! What took you so long?" Brendan asked through the screen as it started to open. I ran in and hugged the three that were there.

"Welcome back!" May said, hugging back. "But who are they?" she asked. I looked back to produce them.

"This is Mia, she's from my time, and this N." I said, not wanting to make a proper introduction for him.

"Come on, I'm sure everyone will be happy to see you." Brendan said, taking my hand and dragging me in. I looked back to see Black hugging Mia now, her face bright red. It was always a good feeling to be reunited with someone but... I couldn't stop wondering about Mia's feelings. Just by her actions, I knew she liked Black but... Was it serious?

The cracking fire calmed me down. It was a hectic night, as well as an awkward one... Who knew that the prince would tag along though? He could become a fugitive on this quest yet he still wanted to be here...

My daze cleared when Black placed his hand on my shoulder.

"Welcome back." he said calmly.

"Thanks." I said, looking down at a sleeping Mia. She was resting her head in his lap. It made me think for a minute. "Black... You know that Mia has a huge crush on you." I said with a worried tone. He smiled and looked down at her, gently wiping the hair out of her face.

"I know..." he said, drifting away. It was pretty obvious now but not when we were at home. She always seemed to be attached to Black, yes, but if you were to guess who she 'like' liked, you would think Cheren. "How come?" he asked me.

"Well, I don't want Mia to think that you like her one day when you don't. She's sixteen here but she's only thirteen at home... When we go home, she'll revert to her original age." I started to explain. Black listened closely, even though I knew he already knew this. "She's a young girl inside a teenager's body, meaning she's sensitive. If you lead her in the wrong direction, her heart may snap in two... I don't want that." I finished, holding my knees in. Black patted my back.

"I won't let that happen. Mia knows that I don't, and can't hold those feelings for her... She's too young for me, as well as too much like family."

"I don't understand though, you always said that age didn't matter, especially with Leaf and Gary who are only three years apart. You and Mia are four years apart. If you say age doesn't matter, why does this?" I asked. Not that I wanted Mia and Black to fall in love. I just needed to understand. Black went into a state where he was lost in thought, as if he didn't understand either. I sighed.

"Let's get some sleep." I said, moving on.

"Yeah..." he said, lying down, Mia still by his side. I laid down where I was, the fire becoming dim. The fire screen around it would eventually burn it out because of the lack of oxygen inside but it would keep radiating the heat until morning.

"Would you think it would be weird if I liked Mia?" Black asked a final question before some nice rest. I shrugged.

"I don't see why it would be. I mean, look at Leaf and Gary." I said, pointing to the opposite side of the fire. The so called 'enemies' were snuggled together, fast asleep. Black and I had a chuckle over it. "Night black." I said, closing my eyes. Black yawned.

"Up an at'em early tomorrow. Night, White." he said, closing his own eyes in due time.

Black and Mia sittin' in a sudowoodo. K-I-S-S-I-N-G... Dowoodo... What? XDDD Anyways, I don't really know if there will be a tight romance between them but I can tell you that Mia sort of has a little thing with him... At least he was liek a brother to her at 'home.'

Anyways, thanks for reading~
