Short chapter! Sorry guys, I've gotten really busy lately. We're getitng ready for grad, as well as my computer got an error and is being really slow... =A= I'm looking at new computers right now and found a really good one that's WAY better then mine(This one has two hundred hard drive and one memory, the new one has SIX FOURTY hard drive and TEN memory!). Anyways, here are the people that entered the contest and got the answer RIGHT: MoonFeather13, XxRed CapxX, Blackrose104
Not a lot of people, huh? XDDD A lot of you guessed option A. This storyline was created WAY before PMD. Anyways, enjoy(By the way, the first two people that guessed right, your characters have a bigger part. This is just brief). Contest is closed but there will be more.


Chapter nineteen
Checking In
White

When Keith, N, and I reached the inn, it was a small building. Nothing big about it. I expected more but I guess it was alright. We needed lodging anyways and I wanted to discuss everything with Black before going to Dream City.

N and I walked in the inn to check out a room. Keith stayed outside to look at some rare flower outside.

"Welcome." a young lady said, gesturing us in. She had hair of white and bright, neon clothing. It gave me a bit of an eye sore for a moment but she seemed very friendly.

N took over the speech instead of me.

"Good afternoon, miss. I take it you work here?" he asked. The girl nodded happily.

"Yep, I own the place. My name's Lily. So may I help you to a room?" Lily asked back.

"If that's okay, then yes please miss Lily." N replied. She blushed. Not a lot of people talked in the utmost respect like N did so I wasn't totally surprised. She giggled though, warming the moment.

Lily went over to the small counter where another employee worked.

"Brenna, pass me the keys for room five." she said, extending her hand. The woman took a look out of a book she was reading and tossed some keys at Lily.

"Moon." she corrected Lily. Lily laughed and walked back to us. She pulled us up to the stairs.

"Okay, let me show you to your room! One happy room for a happy couple." she said innocently and sweetly.

... Wait, what?

"Couple?" I blurted out. I laughed. "No, N and I aren't a couple, nothing close to it!"

N didn't react as much as I thought he would. He didn't react at all, actually. Just a blank look on his face. Usually, there would be a heart warming smile or a jesting smirk.

"Lily, you shouldn't judge people. I thought I told you this," the lady behind the desk said. Lily made a pouting face, as if she was a seven year old.

"Brenna, you know as much as I do that these two look cute together." she said, crossing her arms. "And I still don't get why you lecture me when I'm older." she said.

"By a month" the one, probably named Brenna or Moon, protested.

"So?" Lily said. A fight started going on between them.

"Um..." I went to cut in but they paid no attention. Then, the door opened. I thought it would be Keith but when I turned around, someone else walked in. Yes, Keith was there but...

"Red?" I questioned, the light too bright to see clearly. The man walked closer.

"Hey, White." he said. Yep, it was Red.

"How did you get here so fast?" I asked. "And where are the others?"

"I flew here on a pokemon. The others are on their way." he said. Lily walked in between us.

"Are you a friend of this customer?" she asked Red, fondly. He nodded. Her eyes sparkled. "Wow, miss you have a lot of cute friends, huh?" she asked.

"Cute friends?" I repeated. Sure, Red was attractive if you liked tall, silent guys that were overprotective and too strong for their own good... And N? I didn't have a reading on him, I was too confused.

N left my side and walked up the stairs. I guess he got tired of waiting.

"So will this man need a room too?" Lily asked. I nodded.

"We'll need a couple of rooms, actually. We have four more people coming." I replied.

"That will be more business that we've had in a long time then, all at once." Brenna said. I sort of smiled at her. Lily was now clinging onto Red like a lost puppy that Red had fed.

"Excuse me," I said, rushing up the stairs to see what N was up to.

The rooms were all nicely groomed. I could see them from the open doors. They were nice. I finally came to room four, where N and I were, I guess. The door was closed, unlike the others. I opened it.

The room was large but small. It was nice and white, flowing curtains on the open windows, a small television, two bedside tables, and one king sized bed. That sort of bothered me. I had the feeling that we were stuck with this room... The one bedded room.

On the bed laid a sleeping N. Had he really fallen asleep so quickly? Well we left where we set up camp pretty early, plus he was already up before then. He could have been awake since five so it was understandable for him to be sleeping.

I sat on the bed and looked down at him. He was just flopped on top of the sheets. What a royal posture. His legs were actually dangling from the side of the bed.

"It would be a lot more comfortable to actually be on the bed." I laughed quietly. A small smile came on his face. N pointed to the right bedside table.

"Take a look..." he said. I looked over, there was something there. "I found that this morning..."

When I saw the item, it was a red shard. Shards weren't found around here, more in Johto and Kanto. It was shaped in a heart though.

"D-did you shape this?" I stuttered, slightly flushed.

"No..." he said, taking a deep breath before trying to sleep again. He said something before drifting off though. "I found that for you..."

I blushed. There was something about this little heart that made my own flutter.

I waited in that room for a while until I knew, for sure, N was sleeping.


Dun dun DAH! I don't have any comments so... Hope you enjoyed~
