While this chapter may contain adult references, there's nothing explicit, so it's safe to read for younger audiences.

If there is one thing Lugia likes, it's days like this where all legends are gathered in the hall. That means no duty, which means... sleeping in! Yet, Lugia couldn't help but feeling that something was wrong. Opening his eyes, he quickly noticed one thing was odd.

Last I checked, my ceiling was blue, not orange... Also, his nose was filled with a wonderful aroma, which definitely wouldn't flow in his room.

"Mmh..." someone groaned behind Lugia, and he nearly stopped breathing at the sound, before carefully turning his head and seeing whom the groan originated from.

Ho-oh. And aside from the sheet (which they were sharing) she didn't seem to wear anything, much like himself. Lugia started sweating profusely, as if Ho-oh woke up in this situation, he would become an ex-legend following an unfortunate "accident". If I can just carefully get out of the bed, sneak out without waking her I might ju- Ack! Lugia's planning was interrupted by an arm clinging onto him, all the while Ho-oh snuggling up to him, something big pressing against his back. SO SOFT! He almost screamed, but managed to keep his mouth shut, all while feeling blood slowly dripping from his nose.

Once more, he tried to wriggle out of the bed, but at almost every movement Ho-oh risked awaking, to which Lugia ceased moving. Is this how I die? He asked himself, Death by angry legendary or death by loss of blood, and I still have no idea how I ended up here in the first place...

Doing the only thing he could think of, Lugia prayed to Arceus that Ho-oh would be in a reasonable mood when she awoke, at least so she would listen to his pleas for mercy.

While Lugia was praying, Ho-oh could barely restrain a chuckle from escaping her lips. She had awoken a few hours earlier to find Lugia in her bed, and had actually deduced how and why: Hoopa and prank-attempt. Attempt, simply because she didn't mind what he had done.

In truth, for millenia, Ho-oh had hoped that Lugia would ask her out, but it had never happened, his insecurity due to her beauty made him back out at the last moment every time he attempted to talk to her. Thus, she would use Hoopa's 'prank' in her favor: she would act surprised and angry when she 'awoke', and when Lugia would beg for forgiveness (for something that wasn't his fault) she would demand that he took him out to a movie and dinner as an 'apology'. But before that, she would enjoy snuggling a few more minutes.

And what of the 'great prankster'? He grunted at how the situation had developed. Hoopa had hoped that Ho-oh would starting yelling profanities and throwing things after Lugia when she awoke, but nope! Nothing of the sort. "Bummer!" he said to himself. Before floating away. "Hmm... I wonder what would happen if I did this to Mewtwo and Mew... or maybe Arceus and Giratina... oh! Or maybe Reshiram and Zekrom! So many choices... ah, whatever, I'll do all of them! Hehahaha~"

Um... yeah... I know this is tagged as "humor", yet this chapter wasn't particularly funny, was it? I'm sorry...

Anyway, Annabella Lucy Nox requested that I do something with "Hoopa pranking the other legends with his rings". This came to mind, and I did find it funny at first. Now that the chapter is done, I'm not sure...
