Well, I know it's been awhile, but I finally did it! I got back to this story! WOOT!! Um, sorry that the second part is kind of boring, but I needed to remind you all of the couples I've already established. I'm also sorry that this chapter is a bit short. The next one should be longer. Um, I really hope you like the new chapter and please, don't kill me in your reviews. I've been busy... -smiles nervously- Okay, go ahead. I probably deserve it. Well, please enjoy the chapter and be sure to review!
"No way! So a Lucario just came out of nowhere and asked you to take a walk with him?" Ruby practically squealed.
"That's what she just said," Sapphire spoke up from his spot over in the corner where he was hovering above a notebook he'd been writing it, bringing his gaze up to settle on the group. He smiled sheepishly when his sister rolled her eyes at him.
"Well, Lucarios are rare. Is it any wonder she's in disbelief?" Serena said with a smile.
"Hmm, good point," the blue eon dragon admitted before returning to his work.
Pulse groaned lightly to himself, an annoyed expression on his face. 'Not as rare as a legendary,' he thought to himself as his eyes scanned the small group that had accumulated on Full Moon Island. 'What's the big deal anyway? It's not like Weird Al showed up and asked her to be in his next music video... it was just a random Lucario! Stupid Mark...'
Renay smirked. "Not only are they rare, they're pretty hot too. Not as hot as Zac of course, but still...," she said, a grin growing on her face.
"Okay, you seriously need to get over this little obsession you have with Zac. You somehow got your hands, er... wings, on a copy of High School Musical 3 months in advance, you paid a Rotom to find and tap into his phone calls, you found out where he was temporarily living and stalked him for a month. Heck! You even went through his garbage!" Pearl said in an exasperated voice.
"Don't forget the murder attempt on Vanessa," Crystal added nonchalantly.
Renay grinned. "Hey, she's just lucky that the paparazzi called the police," the death dragon replied with a smirk. "Stupid paparazzi... they never seem to ruin the life of a celebrity when you want them to."
The group rolled their eyes.
"Soo, did he kiss you?" Ruby asked giddily, turning back to Rachel, their previous focus of attention.
Pulse felt one of his cyan eyes twitch.
Rachel nodded. "On the cheek, but yeah, he kissed me!"
The red eon dragon squealed with delight as Pulse felt his eye twitch again. Soon, the group of females began giggling as they talked more on the subject of Mark.
Pulse began feeling sick to his stomach and groaned again, louder this time, as his normally cheerful mood and pushed even farther from him.
Serena heard him and looked over. "Aww, poor Pulse," she said with a light giggle. "Stuck listening to us talk about boys."
Sapphire looked up from his notebook. "Well, he could have gone to play paintball with Derek and the others. I didn't go because I have this poem to work on," he said, glancing down at the paper in his clawed hands. "Besides, I heard that paintball hurts."
"Wuss!" Renay laughed, earning a glare from Ruby.
"If I had known the girls were going to gossip like a bunch of humans I would have!" the black furred pokemon growled as he subconsciously clenched his jaw and balled his hands into fists.
Renay smirked evilly. "Sounds to me like someone's jealous!"
Pulse's eyes widened. "I am not! I just don't trust that guy!" He turned to look at his feline friend. "You barely even know him Rachel! Why the heck would you let him kiss you?!"
The Mewtwo girl turned her eyes to stare off to her right side. "Cause he's cute..." she replied, using the voice usually used by suspicious people and guilty children. She brought her gaze back to meet his and gave him a small smile.
The cyan eyed boy rolled his eyes. "Right..." he said in the same tone.
"Oh, come one, Pulsey! It was just a little kiss on the cheek! It's no big deal!" she laughed.
"Yes it is!" he shouted, earning several stares.
"Pulse," Serena began in a calming voice.
"Forget it," the phantom said with a sigh, his shoulders sagging. "I'm just gonna go home. I'm sure Dad and I can watch a movie or something. Bye, guys," he said as he began floating toward the shore of the island. He turned around, forced a smile and waved goodbye before escaping into the shadows.
Rachel waved back, feeling a bit guilty for driving him away. 'Oh well, I'll make it up to him later. Why does he get so worked up over little things like this anyway?' she thought to herself before shrugging it away and returning to her conversation.
Serena sighed as she watched the spot he had disappeared into. She floated over to Sapphire, gaze still on the shadows.
The Latios noticed the look on her face and smiled reassuringly. "He'll be okay. We'll talk to him later."
The swan nodded. "Okay, that sounds good." She turned her amethyst gaze to her friend and smiled back, causing his face to grow warm and making him duck his head to stare intently at his notebook. Serena blinked and tried to peek at it over his shoulder. "What are you writing?"
The dragon's face got even warmer as he clutched the book to his chest to hide it from his friend. "Oh, it's nothing special. Just a little poem. It's not even done yet."
The lunar legend smiled. "Well, make sure to let me know when it's done. I love your poems," she told him before floating back over to the others.
Sapphire sighed and held the notebook out, crimson eyes scanning his work. "Yeah, maybe someday," he whispered to himself with a small smile as he read the poem he had written about a beautiful dream giving swan.
-ooo-
"Okay, so Articuno and Lugia are together, Moltres and Ho-oh have been dating for a long time and so have Palkia and Dialga, Regigigas and Regice are a low key couple and Shaymin's dating Uxie," Sasha asked as she read over Emma's information book. "Oh, and of course Dad and Suicune are an item," she added with a small laugh.
The being of emotion's daughter nodded. "Yeah. Mom says I need to work on my ability to sense emotions. Apparently love is a fairly easy one that I have a hard time at. Did I miss any existing couples?"
The thunder tiger yawned and stretched, letting her claws lightly sink into the layer of topsoil on the cave floor before sitting back down and scanning the page once again. She smirked. "Well, for one thing you neglected to mention your own mother and her new boyfriend."
Emma smacked her head. "I can't believe I forgot about Mom and Manaphy," she muttered as she wrote down their names.
"It's okay, everyone makes mistakes sometime!" they heard a familiar voice call out cheerfully.
"Oh, great! The sugar addict's here," the magenta faced sprite groaned sarcastically as a blue kitten flew in to float at her side.
Cody beamed at them, doing a quick flip before sitting beside his fellow little legend. "Hey, guys! Watcha doing?"
Sasha grinned back. "Emma's emotion sensing sucks, so Mesprit's making her do her research on the current relationship business going on among the legendaries," she explained, earning a glare from the golden eyed pixie.
The shiny Mew smiled, his tail twitching behind him. "Oh! Well Jirachi recently admitted he loved Celebi. It was a big romantic deal with a huge flower garden too!" he said, ending with a happy sigh. Then he smirked. "And Mom saw Kyogre making out with Groudon, so I guess that means they're together too!"
Sasha snorted while Emma rolled her amber eyes and wrote down the couples he'd stated.
Cody's grin somehow got even bigger as he watched the pixie write down what he'd said, positively ecstatic that he'd been of some help. He peeked over her shoulder and read the page to better understand how else he could help. His tail flicked happily. "Well, you have all the couples that already exist. Need help with ones that are, like, bound to happen?"
Emma turned her eyes to regard him cooly before closing them and sighing. "No, Cody. Believe it or not, I don't think I need any help from a spazzy sugarholic like yourself. Besides, Mom wants me to figure out the unsaid feelings by myself. She said that my emotion radar should eventually get more acute."
Sasha rolled her ruby eyes. "Geez Em, no need to be so 'rawr' about it. He's just trying to help."
The blue eyed kitten smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of his neck. "Ah, it's okay, Sasha. I should've realized. Besides, I am a sugarholic! And I tend to be a bit of a spaz, so she was just being honest."
Emma groaned. "Why can't some peiple understand an insult when it flies up and stabs them in the eyes?"
Cody folded his paws in his lap and ducked his head a little to hide the fact that he was blushing under his fur. "Maybe because the insults are said in such a pretty voice that they can't believe it can mean be a bad thing."
"Ugh, that was so cheesy," the sprite groaned. "Come on, Sasha. We'll continue this somewhere else," she said before flying out of the cave.
The tiger rolled her eyes and smirked. 'Wow, she really does suck at reading emotions.'
Like I said, please review and I hope you enjoyed this disappointing chapter. ... Man, I really do fail at life... ^^'
