A/N: Well here is chapter two of Black Rose. Just to clear up the question in case anyone is wondering, the reason Sabrina is so nervous and worried about coming out, other than the fact of how difficult it could be, is she's always presented as strong fearless so I wanted to explore another side of her. Sabrina tries to come out despite her own inner fear. I hope you enjoy.

In a small home in the outskirts of Saffron City a mother was busy cleaning while her daughter watched and helped where she could.
"Now what mommy?" asked Sabrina, the five year old was eager to help her mother.
"Take the corners and fold them together." said her mother and the little girl did so, "Good work honey."
"Thank you mommy." smiled the girl.
"I'm just lucky to have such a great little helper." said her mother as the two finished folding the laundry, "Now to just put this away and we'll be done."
"Yeah!" cried Sabrina as she followed her mother down the hall and began humming.
"Do you remember the name of that song?" asked Sabrina's mother knowing the little girl would considering how much she loved it.
"Yes. It's Daisy Bell. I could never forget." answered Sabrina.
"Then I'm sure you remember how it goes." said her mother.
"I do." replied Sabrina who began singing the song with her mother:
Daisy, Daisy
Give me your answer due
I'm half crazy
All for the love of you
It won't be a stylish marriage
I can't afford a carriage
But you'll look sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle built for two
"Very good honey." said Sabrina's mother who suddenly tripped and fell forward.
"Mommy!" cried out Sabrina as her mother found herself and the basket of clothes floating in mid-air.
"Sabrina, you've inherited your father's psychic powers. " said her mother as Sabrina lowered her and the basket down.
"I hear screaming." said Sabrina's father making sure things were okay.
"I tripped but, luckily Sabrina caught me. It seems she is psychic." said Sabrina's mother as she picked up her daughter.
"Well, glad to see my abilities carried on and good thing for you mother." said Sabrina's father patting his daughter on the head.
"What's a psychic?" asked Sabrina innocently.
"It means you have special powers." answered her mother.
"I'll help train you honey. I know you'll become a strong psychic." added her father which he would soon come to regret.
Now back in Saffron City, Sabrina was in her room pacing back and forth. Normally she had no confidence issues but, coming out was a matter very new to her.
"I don't understand how people put up with nervousness. It's such a useless emotion." said Sabrina walking back and forth.
"That's what makes you humans so unique. It's their flaws." said Kadabra who stood nearby watching it's trainer.
"I want to flaws." said Sabrina fiercely.
"Still the perfectionist." sighed Kadabra.
"That's just my nature. You know that." replied Sabrina.
"Yet you're worried here." noted Kadabra.
"As much as I wish to be perfect, I am still human." replied Sabrina.
"So, how are you going to do it?" asked Kadabra.
"Just being direct. Erika and I agreed it was the best method." answered Sabrina.
"Make sense." agreed Kadabra.
"I just hope I can actually do it." sighed Sabrina.
"I'm sure you can." said Kadabra.
"Thank you." replied Sabrina before taking a deep breath, "Here I go."
"Good luck." said Kadabra as Sabrina left her room and headed to find her parents.
In the kitchen Sabrina's parents were enjoying their day. Both were sitting at the table talking when a nervous Sabrina entered the room.
"Hello mother and father." said the girl walking up to the two.
"Hello honey." said her father taking a drink of coffee.
"I need to speak to you both." said Sabrina nervously.
"Sure honey." said her father.
"What's is it?" asked her mother.
"I need to tell you something." answered Sabrina clearly anxious.
"You can tell us." said her father.
"Well, I...um...you see..." stammered Sabrina angry with herself for being unable to say what she needed to say.
"If you need to talk then just say it." said her father.
"Well I..." stammered Sabrina.
"Yes." said her mother, wondering what she could have been struggling so hard to say.
"It's nothing." replied Sabrina.
"Are you sure?" asked her father.
"Yes. It's nothing major at all." answered Sabrina.
"Okay then." said her father and with that Sabrina turned and left.
"That was weird." noted Sabrina's father not oblivious to the weird nature of their daughter.
"I wonder what she wanted to say." mused her mother concerned.
"Whatever it is she'll tell us when she's ready." replied Sabrina's father.
"I hope you're right." said Sabrina's mother.
"Don't worry too much. Sabrina can handler herself she's show that since she was a child." said Sabrina's father.
"I'm sure you're right." said Sabrina's mother more convinced.
Sabrina returned to her room after fast walking down the hallway and quickly shut the door behind her. Kadabra was waiting for her and as soon as he saw the way she entered the room he knew what happened.
"You couldn't do it." sighed Kadabra.
"Look, you're not in the position I am." replied Sabrina.
"I understand how difficult coming out can be." said Kadabra.
"Then you shouldn't be too surprised if I problems with this!" snapped Sabrina.
"Just calm down." said Kadabra trying to calm his trainer down.
"You're right Kadabra." sighed Sabrina throwing herself of her bed.
"What happened?" asked Kadabra.
"I got their but, when I tried to tell them I just froze up." answered Sabrina, "That was so pathetic."
"You were nervous. It's understandable." replied Kadabra as Sabrina's cellphone rang.
"It's Erika." Sabrina moaned looking at the caller.
"So, what will you do?" asked Kadabra.
"I have to answer." answered Sabrina knowing this would be hard, "Hello Erika."
("Hello honey. I just wanted to see how things went.") said Erika.
"I couldn't do it." admitted Sabrina disappointed in herself.
("What happened?!") asked Erika worried.
"I tried to do it but, when I tried I couldn't do it." answered Sabrina.
("I'm sorry to hear that but, you can always try again.") said Erika trying to stay optimistic.
"You're correct." replied Sabrina.
("I'll be with you if you need it.") offered Erika.
"No. I need to do this alone." said Sabrina.
("Just remember, I'll always be here if you need me.") said Erika softly.
"Thank you Erika." said Sabrina warmly.
("I love you.") said Erika.
"I love you too." replied Sabrina as she ended her phone call.
"You've got a great girlfriend." noted Kadabra.
"Of course. I love her with all my heart." said Sabrina.
"Maybe you should have her by your side when you come out." suggested Kadabra cautiously.
"No. I am Sabrina after all. There's nothing I can't do." replied Sabrina building up her confidence.
A/N: There will end chapter two now. I will just say next chapter of Play Misty for me will be in two day from now. Next time Sabrina will try again and a flashback tells how she and Erika first got together. Please review.
