Hi there! If anyone out there is wondering why it's taking a while to update, well…I have school…and I'm currently diagnosed with a current obsession of Fairy Tail.
I won't keep you waiting! Although this is a nothing special chapter. You could call it a filler if you want.
Wow…I forgot the disclaimer last chapter…
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokespe.
This chapter features two important adults- Giovanni, an ex-leader and father of Silver; and Narissa, a hard-working woman and mother of Gold.
Chapter 7: The Date
~Southern New Bark town A.K.A. Highlands~
"This place is beautiful…similar to the Viridian forest…" said Giovanni, admiring the scenery.
"Yes, it is…" said Narissa, "say…why did you ask me out in the first place anyway?"
Giovanni turned, "…For my son's future."
Narissa looked at him oddly. Giovanni knew that he had to tell her more.
"…My wife…is dead."
Gold's mother gasped, "I…I'm sorry…you know…my husband…was a terrible person."
It was silent for a moment between the two.
Giovanni spoke up, "…My son…I want him to have a mother. I can't imagine how horrible it must have been for him to grow up without a family."
"! Your son…how did he learn? How did he…survive without parents?"
The ex-leader shook his head, "Let's find a spot to sit."
The duo decided to sit on the soft grass.
"So, as I was saying…many years ago, a gigantic bird Pokemon kidnapped my son…" he paused. He saw that Narissa had a shocked expression. He continued, "For years, I've searched for him, but my sicknesses slowed me down. But finally, after so long, we were reunited- in a blazing fire."
"You…reunited in a fire?"
"Yes…my son was unconscious. I saved him, but I got injured. Luckily I was saved by my son and his friends." Giovanni finished.
"…I see…" the woman said breathlessly, "Giovanni, what's your son's name?"
"Silver."
Narissa looked at the sky. "…Silver?...Silver…where have I heard that name before?"
Giovanni grinned, " Probably from your son. They're rivals."
"Ah, you're right! Gold has mentioned that name so many times…how could I forget?" she smiled as bright as the sun. Giovanni couldn't help but smile back at her.
'What a bright woman.'
"…Gold and Silver…they go well together."
"I hope they get along together."
"I'm sure they will, Narissa. Although…Silver might get a heart attack when he finds out about this."
"Oh…now that you mention it, Gold probably will too" the mother said with a worried, but somehow amused look.
"Let's just keep it a secret for now. If they find out, they find out."
Narissa chuckled, "Okay. Why don't we get something to eat?"
The duo walked towards town, side by side.
Though…Giovanni forgot two impotant things when he said "keep it a secret". One: Silver arrived at Gold's house at that very moment, and two: Silver is a freakin' ninja.
Still unaware of the two things he missed, the duo continues on the date that would change our favourite teens. What we don't know is, if it will change their lives for the better, or for the worst.

*SPECIAL INTERVIEWS*
Aqua(me): Hello, minna-san! I'm here to ask some questions to our favourite Dex Owners, Gold and Silver!
Others: What about us?
Aqua: Calm down! You guys are great too.
Others: ^_^
Aqua: Now…Gold. People have been hearing rumours that you and Red encountered Moltres on Mt. Silver. Is this true?
Gold: Oh, that? Yeah, it is!
Red: Oh man…
Gold:…Right…we were being chased by it…agh…it was so hot…!
Aqua: Uh…okay….Silver. You were conscious during petrification, right?
Silver: Yes. Don't try it at home, kids.
Aqua: Aaaand? Did you see anything interesting?
Silver: For a split second, yes. Right when we were petrified.
Aqua: What-
Silver: I'm not telling you. It might ruin a mystery for the readers out there who aren't up to date.
Aqua: *pouts* Fine. Be that way.
Silver: I will.
Aqua: What about…*whispers*
Silver: Well…I DID hear Gold calling me his buddy at one point.
Gold: Ah…well…*flustered*
Silver: *smirk* I never knew you cared.
Gold: No, no…you got it all wrong!
Aqua: Well, that's all we got today!
Gold: WAIT A MINUTE! *points to Silver* Why does he get more lines?
Aqua: It just happens, Gold.
Gold: Just happens! Heck, that guy is supposed to be the SIDE protoganist! I should get more lines!
Blue: Don't call my little darling that, baka!
Silver: *blush* Oh…hi, sis.
Blue: Hi,Silv!~ I'm just here to say that I'll be appearing very soon!
Gold: What?
Silver: That's great.
Aqua: Can we end this now?
A/N: There. BTW, I just got the name Narissa from out of nowhere, so it doesn't mean anything. Or does it? And another thing I forgot last time. The next chapter title!
Next: Ch. 8: Convincing
Well, sayonara! Make sure to check out Fairy Tail! To think I watched 20 episodes in one day one time…that proves that me being diagnosed is true!
