Wow…I've been staring at this blank screen for at least 5 minutes now… Don't know how to start out this chapter, since I can't think of anything humorous to say…nor do I have any idea of this chapter's outline…

Well this is awkward. Now, I'm just staring at the screen while blowing my nose 'cuz I'm allergic to something in the air that makes my nose runny in the morning. Great great great… *is now very tempted to not write today*

Well, I'll start out with "thank-you"s. I appreciate every review/follow/favorite I get, even flames! The only thing with flames is, I wish that you guys would at least sign your flame, so that I get write out a reply here :( Otherwise, I won't be able to address your concerns, and it'd be annoying to keep writing "To Guest:" since everyone's called guest… -_- Not that I really want to reply to your flames since it's so troublesome! D:

No no, really. I honestly want to sleeeeeeeeep~ Fricking owl-syndrome (don't bother googling. I made that word up.)

Meh, I've ran out of things to say. (I started this paragraph with "Meh" because almost all the other ones start with "well") Guess I'll go ahead to the disclaimer…

Disclaimer: If you guys still think that I MIGHT own Pokemon, let me tell you this. If I owned Pokemon, I wouldn't be here writing this stupid disclaimer. I swear, why do we need to add in a disclaimer? I mean, if we owned anything we're writing about (ex/Naruto, Pokemon) why would we be writing fanfiction? We'd be writing the TV show… But writing this adds to the word count; maybe that's why we have to have a disclaimer, even if it is totally pointless. (That added about 100 words. That means 100 words less of the chapter.)

"What is taking him so long?" I grumbled from inside the Pokemon Center. Currently, Kevin was battling against Roark. Lucky us, we met with the gym leader when I was distracting him by training in the mine. And since we wanted to give him an awesome B-day gift, we let him battle Roark first. Even if he'd get his ass pwn'ed.

Naturally, Jossie didn't answer me. Even if we "bonded" during the little crisis with Kevin's birthday, she immediately started ignoring me after that. Right now, she was examining an interesting crack in the wall. The tension in the air between us was thick. Thicker than a Geometry textbook, and that thing is over 1000 pages.

Justinian and Kaatirna sent a shared glance at me, and then sighed in unison. "Just explain everything," they said together.

And I thought that kind of stuff only happened in anime.

I gave a little angry huff. "I already did. What more should I say?"

"That you love Kevin and you don't like Armelion in that way at all?" Kat suggested with a bright, innocent grin on her face. And since my mood was already sour, I growled at her.

Kevin wasn't even here to help me pummel her. Stupid asshole. Of course he's not here when I was about to blow up. Of course he's not here at the climax of the argument. Of course he just wants to troll me that way.

"Why do I like you guys anyways?" I hissed. "Why am I trapped here, in this Pokemon world, with you guys, out of everyone I know?"

"Because you're getting karma'd for something you did in a past life. Duh." Justin rolled his eyes as if that was the most obvious thing in the world.

I switched my glare onto him. "Well, fuck you too."

"Don't curse!" he replied swiftly in his female voice. Which sounded like Sakura in the Naruto Abridged Series.

"You're not my mom. Kevin is. And he… I mean she… isn't here. So I can curse… Auntie Justinia," I added as an afterthought.

And as such, this led to another squabble between us, but with Jossie and Armelion off to the side. No one else might've noticed them, but with my powers of observation (Really. I'm awesome at that. Second to none at observing things.), I noticed that Armelion was trying to talk to Jossie.

No such luck. My ninja pal was completely ignoring him.

With a helpless look as Armelion, I turned back to Justin, who was currently telling me that he had just as much authority as "mommy". I stuck my tongue out at him in a childish manner, startling him for a moment, just long enough so that I could grab Kaatrina and Armelion and high-tail myself out of the Pokemon Center.

"What about Justin?" Kaatrina asked, slightling confused. "And Jossie?"

I shook my head impatiently. "I need them to bother each other. I need time to sulk."

"Sulk?"

"I mean, to plot."

"Plot?"

"You know, think!"

"…I'd rather you not." Kevin's voice startled me out of my conversation with Kaatrina.

He calmly walked out of the Pokmeon gym, a new badge in hand. Of course he just wanted to show off. That prickface.

He gave me a devilish grin, and I couldn't help but hiss at him. Which caused him to growl back, so I took it as a challenge, and we started a hissing/growling contest.

"Not again…" Kaatrina rolled her eyes, while Armelion said nothing. I stopped my hissing long enough to notice Armelion's silence, and asked, "What's up?" Kevin noticed it too, so we had a temporary ceasefire to sort this out.

Suddenly, all the attention was on the poor brunet.

"I don't know what to do," he mumbled sullenly, staring at the ground. "She won't believe me no matter what I say, and I've apologized over and over again."

"Apologize more," Kaatrina and I deadpanned at the same time, while Kevin said, "Don't."

An awkward silence passed in our group as we waited for Armelion to make his decision. After all, endless apologies won't work…but giving up also won't work either. It was a lose-lose situation…except there were no such things as "try again!" in life. You can't pick option 2 instead of option 1 when you reset the game; you had to make a choice and stick with it for the rest of the "game". (AN: You all just lost the game.)

Armelion took a deep breath to start to talk. Kaatrina and I leaned in to hear his answer, and even that asshole Kevin couldn't help but adopt a look of interest.

I bet it was fake, anyways.

"I think…"

Jossie sighed. Everyone had left the Pokemon Center except for her… What is this world coming to? Her ex-boyfriend was cheating on her…one of her closest friends betrayed their trust… Now everyone's against her.

She sighed and rested her head on the table. At least she still had her Turtwig… Her Pokemon would never betray her! She reached for her Pokeball and called out her Turtwig, ready to ask the nonchalant, turtle-like Pokemon for his opinion.

"Turt!" The green turtle hopped up and down excitedly, glad to be let out from his Pokeball. His excitement vanished like mist in the morning when he saw the look on his trainer's face. "Twig?"

"Do you think I'm doing the right thing?" Jossie asked quietly. "Should I give Armelion one more chance, or should I ditch him?" Quickly, the tanned ninja explained the situation to Turtwig.

When she finished, Turtwig nodded and said, "Turtwig."

After showing no sign of saying any more, Jossie let out a sigh. "That's it? That's all you have to say?"

Turtwig nodded again, then started wandering around the Pokemon Center.

"If that's what you think… I'll give it a try."

"Agent J, you in position?"

"…at the sand slope, right?"

"Yeah. Agent KA?"

"In front of the Pokemon Center, currently waiting."

"Agent KE?"

"…this is stupid."

"Suck it up," an annoyed voiced sounded from Agent KE's side.

After a long pause, a voice replied, "…yeah, I'm hiding behind a rock." A giggle erupted after that comment.

"I'm assuming that Agent C is next to you then."

"Yup. I'm behind a tree," a cheerful voice replied.

"You make a very fat tree," Agent KE snickered back.

"Take that back, you-"

"Shut up!" Agent KA suddenly hissed. "I'm turning off my ear piece. Target J is now coming out of the building. Repeat, Target J is coming out of the building."

Everyone suddenly quieted down, similar to the lull before the storm.

"Shut up, fatass!" Kevin hissed to me just after "Agent KA" turned off her ear piece.

"Why don't you, koala-rapist!" I growled back.

A sudden voice floating through static to reach us made us both shut up. Even if Kaatrina, aka Agent KA, turned off her ear piece, we could still hear her. She just couldn't hear Kevin and me yelling at each other.

"Hey, Jossie!" Kaatrina's fake cheerful voice said.

"Hey, Kat," Jossie replied, a note of cautiousness in her voice. I agreed with her on that point; if I suddenly saw one person standing in the middle of nowhere (aka in front of the Pokemon Center) waiting for me, I'd be pretty freaked out too.

"Are you busy?"

I hissed. "Stupid, stupid, stupid. Should've gotten Justin to lead her here."

"Yeah, no," Kevin replied with a note of arrogance in his voice. "We need Justin for the second half of the plan, dumbass."

"I know that, shitface. That's why Justin should've led her here! It makes more sense! Having Kaatrina, with her terrible winging skills, just makes everything more suspicious!" I growled.

"Could you guys keep quiet over there, Agent C and Agent KE?" Justin's voice whispered through the walky-talky-like objects.

"That's another problem," I ranted, ignoring Justin. "Why the heck do we have code names? It's so obvious! It's the first letter of our names, except for the asshole and Kaatrina because they both start with 'K'. And Jossie just has 'Target' instead of 'Agent'. So, so, so stupid!"

"Shut up!" Justin hissed again, this time louder. "Target J is coming over here!"

I opened my mouth to snap back a retort, but, knowing the importance of silence for this mission, kept my mouth shut. Instead, I chose to turn over and glare darts-lasers-shurikens-lasers-plasma beams-explosives-grapes at Kevin.

Ah, the good old days. Where we did this every single day, get yelled at by teachers for not looking at the board, suspended for fighting… Yup, I missed those days.

Question was, did he?

"Where are you taking me?" Jossie asked cautiously.

"Oh, nowhere…" Kaatrina lied. It was a terrible lie. Honey-sempai would've noticed it, whether or not he was stuffing his face with sweets. Even two blind, humping rabbits could've seen through it, and they're busy enough as it is.

Apparently, Jossie was just as smart, if not smarter, than the two humping rabbits and Honey-sempai.

"Are you trying to get me to talk with Armelion?" she asked coldly. "Because I'm not interested in talking with him right now."

Inner Kaatrina gave a little sigh of relief. "No, that's not it."

Inner Jossie gave a satisfied little smile. Using the Science of Deduction, she realized that she must've been taking her to Justin. There was no way Kaatrina would take her to Carmen or Kevin – those two were inseparable with their little arguments all the time. If one of them was separated from the other, the latter would start cursing or PMSing. And, if Kaatrina could be trusted for this situation, it wasn't Armelion.

So it was Justinian.

Perfect.

"She's coming," I hissed through the mouth piece.

"That's what she said," Justin, Kevin, and Armelion all replied at the same time.

"He, actually. If that's what 'she' said, then it'd be 'I'm coming.'" I gave a snarky grin to the world.

"No one cares," Kevin deadpanned, just as Jossie turned the corner to where Justinian was waiting for her.

"Oh hey," Jossie mumbled, not meeting his gaze.

That was weird. What did he do to her? Apparently, everyone else was just as confused as I was. Why was she acting all shy around him?

That should've been my first warning.

The second one came later, when they started conversing about Armelion. The point of this mission was to help her talk her feelings about Armelion to a common friend – Justin. She would be more open to him, since she didn't know that we were right around the corner, listening to her.

But the warning stabbed me when I realized how close she was sitting to Justin. It was way too close for a friendly conversation; in fact, it seemed more like…

"Fuck," Kevin breathed.

"Fuck it is," I agreed slowly.

"Definitely fuck," Armelion whispered.

"She's not-?" I stopped the sentence halfway when Kevin mumbled, "She is."

A moment of silence passed between us as we just observed. Kevin and I sent a nervous glare to each other, unsure of what to do. Abort the mission to spare the emotions, (AN: That rhymes!) or keep plodding on to reach the goal.

Although now, Jossie's goal was pretty clear.

She was trying to get Justin.

Aaaaaand cut! Do you guys hate me? Love me? :P

This fic is mostly going to be about emotions; the adventure is just there as glue to bond them together~

So did you guys find my: BTD reference, Sherlock reference, anime reference, Agent Duckbutt (great story) reference, and Naruto Abridged reference? You guys should've found the Abridged reference… I even pointed it out!

And… Here's a problem. I might have to give up my other fics to finish this one, or give this one up to finish my other ficlets. Either way, I have to give up one or two to finish the third.

But that just means I'll be updating them less, not deleting them. So your opinions?

Also, Shizaya ^_^

Review please!
