Just The Girl I'm Looking For ON HOLD

by contestshippingfan47

This story takes place about a year after the Ruby and Sapphire arc of Pokemon Adventures ends. There is also mild cursing in here. "Ruby, we're all we have right now! We're gonna HAVE to learn to get along! If we don't..." Sapphire started. "We'll die." *ON HOLD*

Chapter 7: Meeting Again

~*Ruby's P. O. V.*~

When we docked in Johto two days later, I decided to reread the love letter. I was supposed to meet my secret admirer at the docks in a half hour. That gave me enough time to get a hotel room, and get back to the docks. I walked around until I found the hotel. "Hello, sir. Would you like to check into a room?" The woman behind the counter asked with a smile. I nodded. "Okay, here's your room key. Room 456." I nodded, and carried my stuff to my room. I set my bags down, and then checked the time. It was about three fifteen, so I walked quickly to the docks.

I stood waiting at the docks. It was three thirty. Ruby showed up, right on schedule. "Oh, hey, Sapphire." He smiled. "Hi, Ruby." I said. "You, uh, waiting for someone, too?" I nodded. "Waiting for your secret admirer?" I asked. Ruby quickly became flustered. "Y-Yeah, b-but, h-how did you know?" He asked. I took his hands. "Ruby, I'm your secret admirer. I've liked you for a long time now, but I didn't know how to say it. So, I wrote you letters telling you all the things I liked about you. Then, the experiences on the ship made me realize it was more than just liking you, or a crush. I realized that...I love you, Ruby. I-I know we said something on Mirage Island, but I wasn't sure if you remembered, and-" Ruby cut me off by placing a finger to my lips. "Sapphire, why didn't you just tell me?" He whispered. "Because I didn't know how you'd take it, and if you'd feel the same or not, and whenever I tried to talk to you I got so nervous and-" "I would've felt the same." Ruby said quietly. "W-What?" I asked, partly in disbelief. "I said I would've felt the same, Sapphire. I-I love you, Sapphire. I have since I met you. You were wild and mysterious. I guess I was kind of drawn to that." "Y-You said you liked beautiful things, r-right?" Ruby nodded. "I guess that's why I like you so much. Because you're beautiful." I blushed.

I couldn't believe that the one girl whom I thought only saw me as a friend ended up liking me, too. "S-Sapphire?" I asked nervously. "Y-Yeah, what?" She said, her face flushed. "W-Would you like to, umm, h-hang out sometime?" I asked awkwardly. Sapphire paused for a moment, then said, with a smile firmly planted on her face, "I'd love to." I smiled. I couldn't wait to see her in a contest.
