Chapter 4: Star Gazing With Your Rival

Chapter 4: Star Gazing With Your Rival

The night was peaceful as Pallet Town slept; the beautiful white moon was high in the sky and the millions of stars shined and twinkled in the dark blue sky. All clouds were gone and the sea was calm. The wind blew Sabrina's hair gently as she sat on the roof of her house and watched the stars. The moon shined down on her, making her skin seem pale and white but her cheeks were still a soft rosy color. She was hugging her knees and was wearing a long white nightgown; from far away she looked like a ghost. She sighed softly and rested her chin on top of her knees. A noise made her turn to Gary's window once more and she saw that he was climbing out of his window and onto his roof as well. He sat down with his legs stretched out and his arms behind him. He pretended not to notice her but instead watched the stars as well. Sabrina couldn't help but smile slightly and she turned her head away and looked up at the stars again. Ever since the incident that happened earlier, Sabrina felt more of a respect for Gary. She had never even told him thank you and she sighed at this thought. They both stayed silent till Sabrina said softly,

"Thank you…Gary…" Gary blinked and looked at her.

"For what?" he asked. She looked at her feet as she spoke.

"For saving me earlier…" he scoffed.

"Charizard was the one who saved you; not me." He paused "I'm the one who lost remember?" he added looking away. Sabrina shook her head gently.

"You did save me…to be honest…I was really scared. I only had Charizard and Buzz with me so I couldn't have battled…" she confessed. Gary's eyes widened slightly as he looked back at her.

Only two Pokemon? She normally carries at least four… he thought surprised. He sighed and closed his eyes as he turned his head slightly to the side. "Don't worry about it. It was only a coincidence that I was there…" he lied on the last part; he had actually followed her to see where she was going. Sabrina didn't look at him and she stayed silent. Gary looked at her again but his eyes seemed to soften. I hate to admit it but…I'm now seeing how lonely she really is and it's making me feel pretty bad…after all these years of me making fun of her and showing off to my fan girls…I can see why she never liked me. He thought feeling down right rotten. He pulled out the pendant from under his shirt and looked at it again, twirling it in his fingers. Sabrina looked at him from the corner of her eyes and noticed he was looking at a necklace of some sort. Her heart began to beat fast.

"What's that?" she asked. He jumped and quickly put it back and looked back at her.

"What's what?" he asked. She narrowed her eyes.

"You were holding something! What was it? It looked like a necklace." She told him. Gary's heart was pounding in his chest.

Oh God I hope she didn't see… he thought but he answered, "It's just a necklace that someone gave me." Her eyes widened slightly.

"Who gave it to you? What kind of necklace is it?" she asked, a smile spreading across her face.

"It's just a personal necklace that someone gave to me! Don't worry about it!!" he sneered blushing slightly and looking away with his eyes closed. She giggled and stood up and began to climb back to her window. He watched her.

"Ok Gary, if you say so!" she said and climbed into her room. Gary blinked and sighed. She poked her head out and looked at him. He looked back at her and blinked again.

"What?" he asked. She shook her head with a smile.

"Nothing…good night Gary!" she said then closed the widow and pulled the blinds down. Gary shook his head but smiled and sighed as he looked back up at the stars. After awhile of just sitting there, he climbed back down and into his room; he closed his window and the blinds and went to bed. The bushes in the forest rustled as a small pink Pokemon with big eyes and a long tail came floating out and looked at the houses: Gary's and Sabrina's. It blinked and seemed to be thinking before flying off into the starry sky with a small,

"Mew!"
