REVISED!

Hiya! Is everyone enjoying their weekend so far? I just came back from shopping, and let me tell you, it was BORING. Most girls go gaga over shopping, but not me. Well, enough about that. Also, I know almost nothing about the HGSS arc, so don't blame me for the first sentence. Here we go!

Silver: She doesn't own me or Gold or anything or anyone else.

Gold: She doesn't PWN us either :D

Silver:…

Me:…

What Are The Odds?

Chapter 4: …Surprise?

"…I guess a vacation would be all right…we finished Team Rocket and saved Arceus."

"See? I told you this was a good idea!" said a proud Gold.

"Well…I should be leaving now. I have no other business here." Says Silver.

"Whatever you say, red-head."

Both of the boys got up and headed downstairs.

Gold was deciding on where to go while walking down the stairs.

"Maybe we should go to Slateport beach. Or maybe that resort in Unova. Or what about-"

KA-CHICK!

"Oh! Mom's back!"

Silver's P.O.V.

"Ha ha, that's right." I heard Gold's mother say from our spot to the hallway. She's with someone? Probably that friend she was talking about before.

"Of course." Said the 'friend'. It was a husky voice.

…Wait a minute. That voice…I know that voice very well…it can't be…

But he spoke again and it was confirmed.

"You have a nice house."

What is happening?

Gold was completely oblivious to his voice (I have no idea how) and headed straight to his mother.

"Hi, Mo-"

I covered his mouth (I'll have to disinfect my glove later), pulled him behind the wall, and put him in a headlock.

Normal P.O.V.

Gold's eyes widened in confusion and surprise as Silver did a wrestling or karate or whatever kind of move on him. "Mmf! Mmm…!"

"Shut up! They'll hear you…!" Silver hissed at him.

Gold furrowed his brow, 'Who…'

"Today has been a wonderful day! Thank you…Giovanni!"

If you thought Gold's eyes couldn't get any wider, then you were wrong.

'What…what the heck is he doing here?'

Silver wasn't shocked like Gold since he already knew his father was there.

'Didn't father say he was going to the forest? ! What is going on? !'

…Never mind what I just said.

For the moment, all was silent. Simply having no other ideas, they decided to confront the situation.

"Father…! What are you doing here?" Silver asked, acting overly surprised (actually, he was).

Gold tried playing along. "Um…fancy seeing you here, Mom!"

Silver mentally facepalmed. 'This is your house, dumbass!'

Both adults turned to their respective children.

"Hi, Gold!"

"Oh, Silver."

Everyone just stared for a minute or so. Gold's mom spoke up. "Well…Giovanni and I went to the park today for fun."

Gold had the urge to interrupt but came up speechless. Silver bit his lip.

"We…had a great time."

Gold started to sweat. Silver clamped his fists. They were really starting to feel uncomfortable.

"I think we should meet up more often, Giovanni!"

The Breeder couldn't take it anymore. He excused himself and went upstairs. Silver glanced at the two adults and followed him.

Gold felt terrible-not like when the Mask of Ice shot fire at him or drowned him in the lake. Not like when he thought he didn't have a special ability like everyone else. His kind of terrible was different. He couldn't explain how, but it just was.

"Hey… you okay?" carefully asked the Trader.

"Yeah…" the other replied, knowing full well that he wasn't.

"…What are we going to do about our parents?" Silver mentally slapped himself as Gold found himself in a some-what gloomy state.

He continued, "Maybe they just…had a friendly group outing with some others. It can't necessarily be a…date."

Gold perked up." I guess you're right."

"I'll press my father for an explanation."

"Same here…uh, with my mom."

"Let's go then."

"I owe you an explanation?"

"Yes. You said you were going to the forest-not to go to New Bark town and meet someone!" Silver exclaimed.

"Hm…to be honest, I didn't expect to see you here, Silver," Giovanni says, "When you said you were leaving to meet a friend, I thought you meant that girl with the Ditto you like…"

Silver turned beet red. "D-don't change the subject!"

"But he's right, Giovanni, we should tell them." Said Gold's mother.

Giovanni sighed, "Silver…I'm going to say this aloud. You…want a mother don't you?"

Silver gazed at him and hesitantly nodded.

"Well…the two of us…"

"Went on a date." Gold's mom finished.

Gold quickly left, this time without excusing himself. Silver followed again, but this time very, very worried.

TBC…

Review please! (:
