Chapter 3: We've Met Before
~*Sapphire's P. O. V.*~
I began to get the feeling that Ruby might be my secret admirer. I don't know why, but when he touched me, I got that crazy feeling deep inside. And in the letter, my secret admirer said we'd met before. That got me thinking. Could Ruby really be my secret admirer? I mean, back on Mirage Island, we said some things to each other, but I don't know if he still remembers. Or if he still feels the same way. When I was younger, a Salamence attacked me, and Ruby saved me from it. That day, I swore I'd be strong, to never be a burden to that boy again. But, I've always wondered why he did it. I mean, back then we were nothing more than friends. Now, I don't know what we are. I tossed and turned in my sleep that night. Unable to fall asleep, I sat up, sighing, and got out of bed, and decided to take a walk. I reached the deck, and the sky was as clear as could be. "Hey, Sapphire. Couldn't sleep either?" My red-eyed rival asked. "Yeah." Ruby smiled. "Well, I know something that might help. Come here." Ruby motioned for me to sit next to him. "Now, lay down, and just look at the stars." As soon as I just layed down, and stayed still, I felt myself begin to relax. Ruby took my hand. I blushed slightly, but shook it off. "Aren't the stars pretty?" Ruby asked. "Yeah, they are." I agreed. Soon, the wind started blowing, and I shivered. "Maybe we should go back to our rooms." Ruby suggested. I simply nodded. "Night, Ruby." I said, smiling. "Night, Sapphire." A few hours later, I was woken from a dead sleep by someone screaming. That someone was Ruby. "Ruby?! What the hell is going on here?!" I shouted. "Oh, uh, sorry. It was just a bad dream." He said. "D-Do you wanna talk about it?" He sort of nodded. He explained his dream, and then I said, "Oh, Ruby." And I hugged him, causing him to blush slightly. "Thanks for listening, Sapphire. You can go back to your room now." He said, smiling. "Okay. Night, Ruby." I said sleepily. "Night Sapphire."

I rolled back over, and tried to go back to sleep, but I couldn't. I just couldn't get Sapphire out of my head. But, she probably didn't like me. She had her own secret admirer. And I had mine. I sat up in my bed, and stared at the ceiling. But my thoughts just kept drifting back to Sapph. You're NOT supposed to feel this way about your BEST FRIEND, Ruby! I thought to myself. But, when she said that she felt safe close to me, I couldn't help but think she kind of likes me. We were about five days from Johto.
~*Both of their P. O. V.*~
Five days to prove my feelings.
Five days to make him/her love me.
Just five days.
A/N: Oooooooh, suspenseful, huh? I'm gettin good at this! xD Anywhore, you'll have to wait for Chapter four, biches. I start school tomorrow, so I can't be on as much. Sucks monkey balls. :P Because believe me, if I could, I'd spend every minute of everyday just writing.
