Normal P.O.V
The sun rose over the Ranger Base in Vientown as Jackie and Crawford both began wrestling over which pokemon was the best, Luana shook her head at the two of them, while Barlow spoke with Rythmi and Amina about contacting the Ranger Union to tell them Hastings would be back soon. Speaking of which, the man was currently dismantling more of the Gigaremo machine with everyones favourite mechanic Elaine.
"Wonder where Kate and Keith are," Rythmi pondered as she looked at the clock, it was almost nine, the two were normally up by now. She could understand Keith still sleeping, but she wondered why Kate would be.
"Let's go wake them, c'mon," Crawford snickered; Jackie nodded as he tip toed with Crawford towards the rooms.
"Hold it," Barlow ordered, the two turned to see, Rythmi, Amina, Barlow, Luana, Elaine and Hastings all stood behind them.
"Yes?" Jackie asked in an innocent voice.
"You're not going anywhere without us," Rythmi said as she pulled out her phone, ready to take a picture of anything they might see. Jackie and Crawford snickered as they before to sneak through the hallways.
"Here we are, this our most dangerous mission yet men, are you sure you want to do this?" Crawford asked, everyone gave him a confused look, but nodded their heads, considering they had no idea what he was on about.
Jackie placed his hand on the handle as he gently opened the door, luckily, making no noise. Crawford smirked as the two of them stood up; they walked into the room with everyone following them. At what they saw Crawfords' and Jackies' gaw dropped, when Hastings saw the picture in front of him, his gaw dropped, Rythmi smirked as she snapped a picture before sending it to Isaac, Kellyn and Seren. Barlow looked at the two teens in shock, while Luana and Elaine were both cooing over it.
There in Kates' bed, was Kate and Keith, both sleeping. Kates' head was buried into Keiths' chest as his head was buried on the top of her head, breathing in the scent of her hair as they both slept. His arms wrapped around her waist as he held her closely, almost protectively. Kates' arms wrapped around his waist as she clung to him, as if he were her life line.
Luana and Elaine couldn't take silently screaming much longer, in the next minute all that was heard was a loud scream of 'aw' throughout the room.
Then it all happened so fast, Crawford and Jackie were both pinned to the wall by a fully awake Kate, while Keith was rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"You know how I get in a morning," Kate growled as she looked at them, her eyes were full of anger, but mainly, she was cranky.
"Oh, let them go," Hastings spoke up, Kates' head turned towards him slowly, "Rythmi's the one who took a picture," he stated, Kates' head turned to Rythmi who was smiling innocently at her. Kate dropped her two brothers before glaring at her friend, who took off running out the room.
"We'll see you both in ten minutes," Barlow stated as everyone else left the room, Jackie glaring at Keith along the way.
"What just happened?" he asked, Kate looked at him.
"We just had a wakeup call, I'm gonna be cranky for the rest of the day," she stated as she sat on her bed, she grabbed one of her draws before pulling it open, she pulled out her white pants with blue electricity on them, Keith smirked.
"Aw, well, maybe I can change that," he stated, Kate gave him a confused look, he just grabbed her before pinning her to the bed, his arms either side her head.
"You're still annoying," she stated, Keith only laughed at her.
"I know I am," he stated as he rested his head in the crook of her neck, what he didn't expect was Kate to let out a low moan, "Aw, am I turning you on?" he asked, Kate glared at him.
"Shut up," she growled as she pushed him off of her, making sure not to hurt him in the process, Keith just laughed as he watched her walk into the bathroom with her clothes.
"Yeah, I'm still a pervert," he chuckled to himself as he watch the door close.
"Why do you bug Kate? You love her don't you? Oh can I be a bridesmaid at the wedding? When's it gonna be? Will you have it in summer or winter? Oh can I-,"
"SHUT UP!" Keith yelled, Mew looked at him in shock.
"Am I asking too many questions?" Keith glared at her when she asked that.
"Yes, yes you are, you're worse then Buizel," he stated, Buizel glared at the boy.
"Hey I've calmed down a lot thank you very much," Buizel retorted, Keith rolled his eyes as the door to the bathroom opened revealing Kate.
"You're not ready?" she asked, Keith looked at her then shrugged.
"No, guess not," he stated as he picked his clothes up off the draw before getting a pair of boxers, he then walked into the bathroom.
"Ok, who annoyed him?" Kate asked, both Buizel and Mew put their hands up, Kate smirked as she high fived them.
"I don't see why you keep having them annoy him, it's pretty obvious you both love each other," Glaceon stated, Kate blushed before looking away.
"Don't be stupid," she answered, Glaceon rolled her eyes before talking to Buizel and Mew again.
"Ok, I'm ready, let's go," Keiths' voice reached Kates' ears as he walked out of the bathroom.
"Ok," was all she said, Keith pointed to her, as he looked at the pokemon with a confused expression, they just shrugged.
The two walked down the halls in silence, when they reached the reception, they saw everyone scarfing down bowls of chocolate pudding. Kate held her hand to her stomach, first thing in a morning, no, just no.
"How much dya think I'd get for this picture of Kate and Keith if I sold it to the press?" Crawford asked, Kate looked at him.
"How long dya think you'll live after you've done it?" she asked, Crawford gulped before handing the picture back to Rythmi.
"Oh, hello Kate, Keith," Big Bertha smiled as she walked over to them with a bowl of milk pudding. Kate looked at it before covering her hand.
"Kate can't eat chocolate first thing in a morning, even then she hardly eats it," Hastings stated, everyone looked at Kate.
"What? I'll eat it if it's a cake," she stated, Keith rolled his eyes as he took the pudding from Bertha; the boy began eating it as the other pokemon did so. Mew, Glaceon and Buizel all eating it as well.
"What about this young man?" she asked, Barlow looked at Ollie.
"That guy refuses to talk, just stick a spoon in his mouth, that'll be plenty," he stated, Bertha turned to Barlow with a furious expression, Kate hid behind Keith knowing what she'd be like, while Jackie and Crawford ducked behind Amina and Rythmis' desk, much to their displeasure.
"NOW HUSH!" Bertha yelled as she began spooning the pudding and feeding him, "This is no way to treat someone," she stated as she looked at Ollie, who began eating the pudding. Kate watched as he began tearing up as well.
"I-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-,"
"YOU WHAT?!" Kate yelled getting sick of hearing I over and over again.
"I DON'T DESERVE THIS!" Ollie yelled as he began crying, Kate hit her head to get rid of the ringing, "The Vien Forest Fire, it was all my fault, some shady guys asked if I wanted to make some extra money, then the oil began leaking then a fuse went then the forest's on fire," Ollie said as he began crying even more, Kate rolled her eyes.
"Man up dude," Crawford said, Kate looked at him.
"You're not really one to be talking," she stated, Crawford glared at her.
"Go kiss Keith," he retorted, Keith went red at that, while Kate just glared at him.
"Go fuck Luana," she growled, Crawford just glared at her while Jackie sweat dropped at the two of them.
"Now you two-,"
"STAY OUTTA THIS!" both teens yelled, Hastings shook his head as he looked at his grandchildren.
"Kate, Crawford, that's enough," he said, Kate and Crawford both looked at him.
"Yes grandpapa," they said in unison, Hastings nodded his head as he went back to dismantling the machine with Luana and Elaine.
"Kate, untie Ollie's ropes," Barlow ordered, Kate nodded as she went over to them; they were too tight for her to get off.
"Looks like this is a job for a man," Keith smiled, Kate looked at him.
"Let me know when you find one," she stated, Keith held his heart.
"Oh, you wound me baby, you really, really wound me," he said as he walked over, Kate glared at him.
"Don't call me baby," she growled as she tried to untie the ropes with Keiths' help.
"I think we're just making them tighter," he stated as he looked at Ollies' face, now turning blue.
"Ya think?" Kate asked as she looked at Elaine, "Got anything to cut the wires with in that tool box of yours?" she asked, Elaine looked at them before walking over with some wire cutters, Ollie began gasping for breath as the ropes fell to the ground.
"Thank you," he breathed, Elaine didn't say anything, she just walked back to Hastings and Luana, Keith returned to his pudding, while Kate sat on the sofa.
"Now that we've gotten the pudding out of the way," Barlow began after all the pudding was gone.
"C'mon, just try it," Keith said as he pushed a spoon to Kates' mouth.
"I will be sick if I eat anything too sweet in a morning," she stated, Keith looked at her.
"It's not sweet, it's creamy," he stated, Kate glared at him.
"That sounds so wrong," she answered, Keith laughed at her.
"Looks like I'm not the only one with a dirty mind," he stated, Kate just glared at him again, "C'mon just a little bit, pwease?" he asked, Kate sighed.
"Fine, but only a little," she gave as she opened her mouth, Keith smiled as he put the spoon in her mouth, Kate closed her mouth when she felt the creamy substance on her tongue. Crawford, Jackie and Hastings watched as she swallowed it, all three of them began counting down.
"Three….two….one," they said, Kates' eyes snapped open as she rushed into the bathroom nearest to the room. Keith looked at her in confusion along with Rythmi and everyone else.
"Kates' stomach isn't used to chocolate in a morning, the only time she can actually eat chocolate in a morning is when she wants a cake or something sweet," Crawford explained.
"Don't say she didn't warn you," Jackie added, Hastings shook his head as he watched everyone get back to work.
"As I was saying, Keith you and Kate will be patrolling around the town and Chicole Village," Barlow ordered, Keith nodded as he waited for Kate to come back out.
"Ugh, I hate you," she muttered as she held her head.
"Aspirin?" Hastings asked as he handed her two tablets, Kate smiled at him.
"Thanks Grandpapa," she smiled, Hastings nodded as he watched Kate and Keith walk out of Base, Jackie frowned a little.
"Something seems off with Kate, not just the chocolate," he stated, Crawford looked at him.
"You mean like the fact she's more comfortable around Keith?" he asked, Hastings looked at them.
"Yes, it's almost like," Hastings stopped himself as realisation dawned on the three of them.
"HE KNOWS!" they yelled, Jackie then took off after Kate and Keith with Crawford, Barlow looked at Hastings.
"What was that about?" he asked, Hastings sighed.
"Over protective brothers," he answered, Barlow just nodded his head.
"KATE!" Crawford and Jackie yelled as they grabbed her, they began to pull her away from Keith.
"Ow, HEY WATCH IT!" she yelled as they almost made her trip, Kate ragged her hands free of the two of them, "Jheeze, what's your problem?" she asked, Jackie glared at Keith.
"He knows," he stated, Kate shrugged.
"Yeah, I know, I told him," she stated, Crawford and Jackie looked at her in shock.
"WHY?!" they yelled, Kate glared at them.
"Because I trust him," she answered, the two looked at her then Keith then back to Kate.
"You do anything to hurt our little sister, we'll personally put you six feet under," they threatened, Keith looked at them in confusion.
"Why would I wanna hurt her?" he asked, he then looked at Crawford, who remember Keith was in love with Kate.
"Oh, never mind," Crawford said as he dragged a reluctant Jackie away, Kate looked at Keith in confusion.
"What was that about?" she asked, Keith just shrugged as the two of them carried on walking. When they got to Chicole Village, they saw Ollie heading into the house next door to Kates', while Remi ran out to Kate.
"BIG SISTER!" she yelled, Keith grabbed his ears at the pitch of her voice.
"What?" Kate asked as she picked Remi up.
"There's a hat ghost on Partner Farm," she answered, Kate and Keith looked at each other.
"A hat ghost?" they asked in union, Remi nodded as she jumped down before dragging the two of them with her. Kate looked at Mew, who shrugged not knowing anything about this, Glaceon was equally confused, while Buizel had no idea what was going on.
"Ah Kate, Keith, I'm afraid you came here for no reason, the hat ghost was a Kricketot," Freya laughed as she looked at the pokemon that scampered away when the Rangers came.
"So, no ghost?" Keith asked, Freya nodded her head, Kate sighed.
"Thank Arceus for that," she smiled as the two of them walked back to Vientown, Freya returned to helping Adir plant some flowers, while Remi began playing with Flareon.
"Well, that was….." Keith began but didn't finish.
"Weird?" Kate asked, the boy nodded as they walked around the town and village.
"Looks like everything's peaceful, wanna report back to Barlow?" Keith asked, Kate nodded as she followed the boy towards the Base.
"Everything's peaceful," Kate shrugged as they spoke to Barlow, who nodded his head.
"Alright, well, I guess you can call it a day, we'll call you if needed," he stated, the two nodded as they walked towards their rooms, one thing was for sure, and that was, this day had been a drag.
