Disclaimer: I do not own anything except Nala, David and the main plot.

Nala's POV

I jumped out of the taxi almost forgetting to pay the driver as he honked angrily at me. Whoops! *sweat drop* Boy were people impatient these days.... I couldn't believe that my bus had forgotten to pick me up! I could have missed the S.S Rainbow!!! I growled in frustration at how far away the ship port was and started to run towards the enlarging crowd of excited students milling around. Suddenly the S.S Rainbow's horn blared at full volume making me jump 3 feet in the air. I collapsed in despair and started to hyperventilate as people started to board the ship and I was still far, far away.

Unexpectedly a bright light flashed and my Scizor named Scyth and my Lucario named Aura popped out of their poke balls. "I'm going to miss the ship" I moaned in dejection. "Don't lose hope Nala!" exclaimed Scyth "We'll help you." Rapidly the two of them stood up from where they were kneeling and Aura scooped up my luggage and took off towards the ship while using Agility. I gazed after Aura with wide eyes and gave a little shriek when Scyth scooped me up in his arms and also used Agility to dash towards the S.S Rainbow. "What did we tell you?" Scyth asked me smugly and I just hugged him tightly crooning my thanks as he blushed a faint pink and awkwardly patted my back while Aura watched amused.

"Hurry up you two or Nala is going to miss the ship."Aura chuckled as I let go of Scyth and returned them both to their poke balls. I gathered my belongings and marched towards a ticket stand. I slowed down only to briefly flash my ticket before boarding the imposing looking ship. It was a snow white ship with a rainbow emblazoned on the side with a Zapdos, Moltres, Ho Oh and an Articuno flying around. I gaped in amazement before my vision was blocked by black, shoulder-length layered hair with aqua green highlights at some tips. "Omigod! Nala, I missed you sooo much!!! I haven't seen you since like forever!!" screamed a girl in excitement!

I wiggled out of the hug to see one of my best friends, Sky Mint grinning ecstatically. "Mint!!!! Finally someone I know!!!! How have you been!?" I trilled hooking my arm through hers and starting to walk once again towards the lobby. "I'm doing great, but how about you? You look good as usual, Nala!" she replied happily.

I looked over what Mint was wearing and approved instantly. Her hair was in a high ponytail and she was wearing a white layered shirt under an aqua green small hoodie and a black mini-skirt, with small black shorts underneath. On her feet she wore knee high black boots with white socks showing above. "You look amazing too Mint!! Have you seen anyone else yet?" I questioned anxious to see my other friends. "By anyone else you mean David, right?" Mint teased playfully as she laughed at my faint blush that I desperately tried to hide. "Sorry. Haven't seen him yet but I did see Damien, Kyra and Renshi. Got to go. I'll meet you at dinner?" She scowled furiously at the last name and strode away her heels clicking against the shiny, navy blue tiles. I chuckled softly to myself, she was still angry at Renshi for....you know what. I can't even remember it has been so long! I strutted past a group of guys and smirked as I felt their eyes follow me across the room till I exited the foyer and entered the grand lobby packed with people of all shapes and sizes.

David's POV

I weaved around people scanning the area for a girls with silvery blonde hair. She had got to be here somewhere! When her bus had arrived without her I pretty much freaked. Where the hell was she!!!?? I winked charmingly at a red haired girl who nervously, shuffled her feet, looked up and abruptly burst into panicked sobs. Immediately a blonde haired girl glared furiously at me as she tried to console the sobbing girl. Wow! I never had that effect on girls before!

I languidly sauntered over to the two girls and raised my eyebrows at the glare I was receiving. I was a bit insulted with all the glowering and hysterical crying. "Soo... What exactly is going on here?" I demanded coolly before a finger poked me roughly on my chest. "Say you're sorry mister!" the blonde girl shrieked over the sound of sobs. JEEZ! You would think the girl was dying by the way she was sobbing her heart out. However I only wiggled my eyebrows and said "Getting physical now, are we? Tut tut. Sorry too disappoint you but I'm really too young for those kind of things."

Sage Demtria Love's POV

The nerve of that boy! Why! I would have slapped him if he wasn't so cute and if he didn't have a intimidating but beautiful girl behind him standing with her arms crossed. I decided to ignore them as I led away my best friend, Cassia Mirai who was slowly calming down. Unfortunately the other boy followed me too and to my surprise the girl stealthily padded behind him with a curious look on her angular face.

I sat Cassie down, put my hands on her shoulders and told her to breath before I pasted a frown on my face and turned to the source of all the trouble who to my surprise and slight jealousy was hugging the mysterious girl. Wait jealousy!!??

Nala's POV

I spotted David's head as I traipsed around the crowd. As soon as I spotted David I started pushing and shoving my way towards him only to stop right behind him and watch the situation that David had gotten himself into. *sigh*

I assessed the situation coolly. A dark red haired girl with wide, light purple eyes that were right now overflowing with tears. She had pale skin and was wearing a light lavender

long sleeved shirt with a pair of dark blue jeans, a black jacket, long white

socks that stop at her knees, and brown boots. There was also a blonde girl with straight hair with a smal curl at the end and which came down to the small of her back and was kept in a high ponytail at that time. She seemed to be very close to the red haired girl. She had sapphire blue and lightly tanned skin. She was wearing A pink short sleeve blouse with trendy dark blue skinny jeans and ankle high black heeled boots.

I contemplated letting my presence know but decided against it as I wanted to see how this would turn out. Abruptly the blonde led the red head to a nearby ornate bench and slowly turned around, ready to give a stern lecture to David.

I decided that now was a good time and lightly tapped David on the shoulder and when he turned around I launched myself at him, gripping him tightly and he hugged me back as equally hard. "Where were you? I got worry lines on my forehead from wondering where you were!!" David cried in mock anger.

"Don't you go all huffy on mister! The bus never came so I had to take a taxi and wipe those wrinkles off your forehead before they become permanent." I commanded sternly but inside my heart was soaring. He was worried. About me!! I flashed a dazzling smile at him. "Yes Mam!"he replied before pulling me into a hug once again before a annoyed huff came from behind us.

We rapidly spun around and flushed in embarrassment. She had witnessed our entire greeting and was staring at us with narrowed eyes. Oh dear. She was going to ask THE question! This always hurt my heart.

Cassia Mirai's POV

I watched the scene with wide eyes and as my best friend, Sage turned around I clapped my hands over my ears and screwed my eyes shut, getting ready for one heck of an explosion. I hated arguments and I hated being so weak that caused Sagey to always stand up for me. Sometimes I wondered how I got Sagey as a friend when we are polar opposites. After about two minutes of no yelling I grew extremely curious and decided to ignore my life motto, "curiosity killed the cat." I slowly uncovered my ears and squinted at what was before me. Sagey was looking pretty put out about something and was staring with narrowed eyes at the boy who scared me and another girl who for some odd reason was standing all proud and defiant yet her eyes were guarded but pain seeped through the cracks in her well worn mask. Acting on some unknown instinct I coughed nervously, stood up and put a restraining hand on Sagey's shoulder.

Sage spun around to give me a questioning look but backed down without a fight. I looked down timidly and squeaked "Sorry about spazzing. My name is Cassia." I winced internally at how pathetic my voice sounded when a tanned hand appeared in my line of vision. " Sorry about winking at you Cassie. I've never had that kind of reaction on a girl before but there's always a first isn't there?" a masculine voice apologized softly "I'm David Qypy from Floroma Town and" he took my hand in his "I am very glad to meet such a lovely girl."

And then David unexpectedly kissed my hand then let go to straighten up to his full height. I looked at my hand in disbelief while my cheeks burned. I shyly looked up and saw a satisfied smirk on David's face and swiftly ducked my head down again to look at my boots. What a gentleman!

Sage Demtria Love's POV

I gaped in horror at David and Cassie flirting and then happened to glance at his companion who's face had twisted slightly in jealousy. Then she looked up and stared directly into my eyes, her stormy, dark azure eyes with flecks of teal pierced my heart and in that moment we shared a minute of understanding.

She kicked David in the shin and as he glowered at her she smiled coyly at him while I dragged Cassie away who was waving goodbye at David. Someone was getting a little bit obssesed. "What is your problem Cassie?" I hissed in her ear as I dragged her across the room and I grew even more irritated when she looked up at me in total bewilderment.

"You were totally flirting with him!" I growled dangerously. "What happened to you crying because he winked at you, huh?" Cassie just gulped and defiantly said "I don't know what your talking about, now let go of me!"

I took a deep breath and told myself to stop overacting like a fool. Cassie was my friend and I would stand by her side for better or for worse. I draped my arm over Cassie's shoulder and when she didn't move away I knew that I was forgiven and we turned towards a circular stage where a imposing lady was standing trying to get everybody's attention.
