S is for Sociable
"You know the one thing I don't like about Volkner?" Flint asked his group of friends consisting of Byron, Fantina, Gardenia, Candice, and Roark. They were at the annual Gym Leader's Ball. Trainers, the elite four, coordinators, and of course the gym leaders were there.
"No, we don't please enlighten us Flint." Byron said, taking a sip of his drink.
Flint ignored the slight sarcasm and answered, "He is my best friend, but he isn't very sociable. It's annoying." and at that he pointed to were Volkner was. He was standing off to the side, just staring at the ball goings.
"I think I could get him to start a conversation with me!" Candace bet.
"20 bucks says you can't." Flint said. Byron, Roark, and Fantina agreed.
"Deal!" Candice accepted.
"That's really not fair, Candice." Gardenia laughed, she knew a secret about Candice and Volkner.
"So?" Candice asked and sauntered over to were Volkner was standing.
After a little while, "Well, he and Candice seem to be talking quite alot." Gardenia pointed out. Flint turned and choked on his drink. Fantina dropped her glass, which broke with a crack when it reached the floor. Byron and Roark's mouths just dropped opened. Volkner was talking and smiling, Candice laughing.
"H-how?" Flint aksed. Volkner made an exaggerated bow and held out a hand. Candice and he went out to dance. Everyone in the group's eyes followed the two.
"There dating." Gardenia explained and took a sip of her drink. All the rest of the groups heads swiveled to her.
"What?!" they all pretty much shouted, attracting attention. Gardenia pointed to the dance floor, the heads swiveled again to see Volkner and Candice close, foreheads touching, and Candice lean up and give him a small peck, making Volkner lean down and catch her mouth in a full kiss.
"Dude! That's awesome! She made him sociable!" Flint yelled. The others either nodded, still shocked, or laughed at Flint's enthusiasm, or rolled their eyes at his enthusiasm. Then Flint pouted, "Dude! He's my best friend! And he didn't tell me!" The others now all laughed at him and the sociable Volkner.
