Just finished and posted the first lemon in 10 Cent Lemonade at the time of me beginning to write this chapter. I think I did good with it but it could of been better if I hadn't been sick while writing it.
But oh well, least I got it done. After this chapter is done being remade, I'll actually be writing another lemon and part of the storyline in Chaos Squad so that's some news for the people that like my writing for the lemons. Don't lie, I know there's a few of you reading my stories for the lemons :P
Enough of my blabbering, let's get into the remade chapter.
Saix's POV
I had awoken in a pitch black void that seemed like nothing. The only thing keeping it from nothing was an Umbreon in the distance that looked exactly like me.
"So you're finally awake after all those vicious attacks from the Houndour I see." It said, the voice a deeper version of mine.
Slightly freaked out at the fact that I was in the middle of nowhere with an Umbreon that was almost exactly like me, I stammered "W-who are y-y-you?"
"You."
I gave him an odd look and said "That can't be possible. I'm the only Umbreon I've ever seen or have known."
"My point exactly. I'm you. All Pokémon have a seperate side to them like this. Some just develope faster like me. All the suffering, depression, anxiety, and anger that you've built up overtime has allowed me to form a hell of a lot early than most." The Umbreon chuckled and continued by saying "Even though you've fallen in love, I'll always exist as your negative side as I like to say even though it doesn't necessarily work that way. If you lose control from your anger, I'll be there to take control and to help you as I'm known as Self Defense Mode or better known as S.D.M. Not follow me, Athena and that Shinx are waiting for you to wake up. It's been three or four days that you've been out of it, slowly recovering thanks to Athena."
Despite not wanting to, I followed the strange reflection of me to this area where a pit fell into an even dark black area, a void. "Just walk across, we're in your mind. If you fall, I'll take control until your mind regenerates you back. I sighed and concentrated with all of might before taking a step over the void. Nothing was below me but it felt like solid ground so I slowly and calmly crossed, the Umbreon now behind me. Once on the other side of the pit, the strange clone of me took the lead again so I kept close behind him.
The walk seemed like it had take hours upon hours to get to our destination but the Umbreon just kept saying it had only been five minutes since the pit. "Damn time moves slow in here..." I grumbled.
"Nope, only feels slow. Anyways, we're here at the portal."
I looked at the bright yellow portal before looking at the Umbreon again and asked "What's your name?"
"You'd expect it to be Saix like yours, but I prefer to go by Lux. Even though we're a Dark Type, I've always been fascinated by the light so I named myself as the Latin word for light. Also since you're probably wondering about what I do around here, I sit and wait until needed." The Umbreon sighed and walked with me up to the portal and said "Well, it was nice meeting you real Saix. I'll save this memory for me, not for you. Most Pokemon forget all about their 'dream' in meeting their S.D.M upon waking up." With a sad smile, he added "Goodbye. Please remember me." And pushed me through the portal.

I began to blink rapidly, attempting to adjust to the amount of light surrounding me. "Damn... Why must the stars be so bright?" I grumbled when remembering Athena. Wait... Athena? Athena! Where is she? I jolted up from my position on the ground and looked around to see the Shiny Shinx in a tree and Athena laying down a few feet away from my location.
A small smile made its way onto my face before I dropped onto the ground, hard, producing a thud like sound. "Arceus Damnit. I thought I'd have the strength to atleast stand after being unconscious but I guess not." I grumbled.
The thud I had produced from falling seemed to have been loud enough to wake the Shinx up who looked at me sleepily before using a small ThunderShock, not enough to hurt or fluff up Athena's fur, to wake up the Espeon.
Athena groaned before looking at the Shinx who motioned my way. Athena's first reaction to seeing me awake was to run to me and cover my entire body will love, affection, and attention, especially my face.
Athena's POV
I let out a small groan from Burza's weak attack and glared at her. "He's awake, don't be too mad at me for waking you up." She said through telepathy, the thought echoing through my mind. I looked to my left where a pained Saix was laying and sprinted to him where I began to fill him with nuzzles, cuddles, and overall love.
"Please Saix..." I mumbled, trying to make me seem smaller so it'd have a high chance of working, "Please never fight alone. It's not worth it unless it's a one-on-one. We thought we lost you because your breathing has been shallow and you were in constant pain even while unconscious."
Through all my cuddling, he managed to say "I'll accept it but I want to know how you two manages to take out the remaining Houndours..."
"Dazzling Gleam. It's a fairy type move so its strongest against many different typings, including Dark." I giggled, trying to scare him at the same time. Saix tried to stand but I slowly guided him back down and said "Don't stand. Your legs had been torn to shreds and we can risk you tearing the new skin."
The Umbreon rolled his eyes and said "I'll do it only because I've been out of it for three days. Also, what's your name?"
The Shinx looked at him with gratitude and mumbled "Names Burza. Pleasure to meet you."
Meanwhile, I was filled with confusion. How in the world did he know how long he had been unconscious for? "Excuse me Saix?" She asked, "How did you know how long you were unconscious for? No normal Pokemon is able to regulate stuff like that."
"I'll tell you two eventually. There's a time and place for everything. Besides, did Athena tell you about our goal and why the two of us are traveling?"
The Shiny Shinx nodded and asked "I was wondering if I could join you guys in the goal. Just like you Saix, I'm an outcast to my pack even with me being the Alpha's daughter. So, whaddaya say? Can I stick with you guys?"
I looked towards Saix pleadingly who nodded and returned a smile to Burza while saying "Sure can. As Athena said, company never does hurt."
The girl yipped in glee before looking up, slightly worried. "It's almost 11:00Pm. We should get back to sleep since I want to be far away from here as possible tomorrow."
"I agree with her Saix. Besides, you need your rest. When unconscious, your body works harder, preventing you from being a sleeping stage."
He looked at the two of us, unamused at that fact that he's gotta go to sleep after being unconscious. After releasing a quick sigh, he laid his head down and closed his eyes in defeat. Burza strided back towards the Oak Tree she had been laying on and crashed at the base of it before saying "G'night guys. Sleep well."
I smiled and walked a foot or two away from Saix and laid on my side. I hadn't realized how tired I actually was considering I could hardly keep my eyes open until I noticed something, Saix stumbling towards me, using trees as his support. Multiple minutes had already passed as he finally managed to reach and and stopped behind me before laying down and softly nuzzling my neck. "Oh Athena... I know you're asleep and this'll never be heard, but what would I do without you? You're the reason of my happiness, leaving that hell hole to stick with me. Hell, you even ruined your perfect reputation at the school. But still, you chose me of all people to go with despite the hatred I always recieved, so I could only thank you in one way, even if you'll never feel the same or hear this. I love you to my heart's full content and dream of spending the rest of my life with you." He let out a miniature sigh and reached over me slightly and kissed the gem on my forehead, leaving a hopefully hidden blush on my face. As for him he snuggled up behind me, our fur centimeters from touching.
Saix's POV
I lied down behind the Espeon that I loved so damn much, but just knew she didn't return those same feelings. I closed my eyes and felt the feeling of her body moving closer, sliding into a position to where to of my legs were over her protectively with no gap between us. "Even though you won't ever know about this vow unless a life threatening situation occurs, I swear that I'd risk my life for your my precious Espeon. I'd die no matter what to keep you alive." And with that, I sat my head on hers and closed my eyes, ready to drift into unconsciousness.

I awoke to the sound of someone giggling then saying "Awww... The two of them are so cute together... I really hope they're mates or become mates because the two of them are a perfect couple." I opened my eyes to see Burza staring at the two of us in awe.
I mentally sighed before saying "Good morning Burza. Did you sleep well?"
She nodded and replied "Yep. And I can certainly tell that you and Athena did. The two of you were all cuddled up together. Even better was that anytime you'd move away just the tiniest bit, Athena would follow you to close the gap you made."
"Please don't tell her about this. She'd kill me if she found out since we aren't mates. Only thing that I think would suit us are two Pokémon found a friend in each other."
The Shinx hopped down from her perch and smirked at me. "You're fine pal. Besides, she didn't move away. She kept scooting closer so she obviously enjoyed being with you. The girl kept a smile on her face all night since I woke up a few times and checked on the two of you."
"Athena could of been having good dreams. I just don't believe that I'd be the reason of her smiling Burza..." I mumbled, my ears and tail drooping slightly.
"Don't say that." The Shinx said calmly, "Have faith in yourself. I know that you love the girl to death and back. Don't beat yourself up because of how other Pokemon treated you. Pull your move and ask her to be your mate. I bet she'd say yes almost instantly."
"As I said, she probably wouldn't. But I could always dream. Besides, if I wanted to ask her to be my mate, I'd need to prepare."
"Prepare for what?" Athena sleepily piped in.
The two of us looked towards the just awakened Espeon before chuckling. "Nothing. Let's eat some breakfast then head or for the day."
Athena's POV
"Can you hear me Burza?" I asked through telepathy.
"Yep, I'm here. Whatever you have to say, fire it away girl." She replied.
I swallowed a lump that had been in my throat and almost spoke out loud when I remember the conversation was through telepathy. "Sorry about that, almost blew this. Anyways, I heard Saix admit his love to me last night. The boy thought that I had fallen asleep so he stumbled over to me extremely slowly and lied down behind me and started going on about how I've change him and had ruined my life just to stay with him. It's just so depressing that he has no confidence in himself at all. Those three simpls words, I love you. I just want to tell Saix that but he just doesn't seem ready and would think I was joking."
"Just tell him. He's already oblivious to your acts of love towards him because he thinks that all those doings were what normal, everyday friends do. Besides, the two of us were talking before you woke up. He had been convince me that you smiling was from good dreams instead of being in his prescense. I had to explain to him how you'd love to be with him but he probably doubted every word that came out of my mouth." Burza replied.
"So what are the two of you thinking about? You seem distracted." I heard Saix say from behind me, interrupting our hidden conversation.
"Nothing really. Just about how I'm leaving my pack to travel with you guys." Burza replied.
"Same goes for me, just instead of leaving a pack, it's leaving our little Eeveelution filled village." I added. "Anything on your mind?"
"Sorta. It seemed like you two were having a conversation mentally but I doubt it since none of us have the abilities to do stuff like that."
I giggled at the thoughts of me using telepathy to seduce Saix into making out with me when Burza shouted in my head "The channel is still open. I don't want to see you imaging making out with Saix."
"Oh, sorry about that. But hey, it could of been worst. Instead of the two of us making out, it could of been us mating."
"Yeah, don't think about that. Anyways, I have something to tell you. Just like my mother, I'm an Electric Type and a Psychic Type, from our ancestors she'd say. Anyways, I looked into your dream last night to see you and Saix together as mates, with two little wriggling kits at your feet. So I'd like to say that when we find a place to stay, we could transform it into a giant community."
"Sure and also, I found a sticky note in Saix's little bag that said 'For Athena.' I would tell you what the present was, but to be honest, I'm not even sure what it is."
Boom. That took way too long to complete and I'm making everybody wait for the next lemon and Chaos Squad chapter now because of this. But have no fear, it's fine!
