Iain, David, Rui and Wes were on the way back to the mobile base with their Pokémon, but the two Half-Mews had an odd feeling the entire drive in their jeep about the two Shine Pokémon they rescued: April and Julia. Once, David turned his head, and saw the two chattering about something... But he didn't care about what, so he didn't paid attention there…

If he knew what they are have been talking about: The two females admitted to each other their crush to one of the two boys. Julia had fallen for Iain, while David was the interest of April.

They returned to the Mobile Base, and as the group entered the MB, Iain got tackled by something.

He fell on his back, and saw that it was Mele. He smiled to see her, and after they greeted each other, they began to kiss passionately.

Julia stared at the picture she saw: Her crush already had a female? She sighed, disappointed, because she knew very well that the average human only takes one mate. She still has her hopes up that he might a bit different, but knew it would be very hard to win him as well…

April felt a bit sorry for the Gardevoir, and just as she wanted to try to make her move on David, she spotted him moving over to a nervous looking Mew with odd features.

David looked at his mate and gave her a greeting kiss on the lips, which she returned. He smiled to her lovingly, "Hi CyMe..."

"H-h-hello David…" She blushed, and looked down nervously.

"Is something wrong?" Asked the Half-Mew, worried.

"I… it… Y-y-your… Ch-Ch-Chansey f-f-found s-s-s-something out as… I… didn't feel well…" Began CyMe, causing her mate to be more worried.

"What did she found out?" He questioned, while he held her, worried.

"I… I…" She began, but then looked into his eyes. "Please… P-promise me not to be mad…" David didn't understand why she was requesting that, but gave his promise. "Ch-Cha-Chansey said… That… T-that I'm p... P-p-pregnant…" CyMe finished, closing her eyes, prepared for anything that was about to happen.

But as nothing came, she opened slowly her eyes and looked up at David. She wasn't shocked by the surprised look on his face. Or could it even be a shocked look?

Then he began to smile brightly. He embraced her tightly and gave her a deep kiss. She squeaked slightly in surprise, stunned. She didn't try to struggle, and as she realized how comfortable it felt for her, she fell in and returned the kiss, wrapping her arms around him. Their tails wrapped themselves around the couple as they held their position for a while.

Then David gently broke his kiss, and whispered into her ear, "CyMe… How could I be mad at you? I am happy to hear that, and would never hurt you in any way… And believe me… I will never leave you… I will stay with you and help you raise our child…"

CyMe began to cry in joy from his words, and embraced her mate more tightly and sobbed into his shoulder. David smiled and patted her back gently, while holding her close in return. He then gave her a loving kiss on her forehead.

April watched the whole scene, even thought she couldn't hear everything. But she knew that she just learned that her male of interest already had a mate!

She cursed quietly, and left the room she was in to think about the events that had just unfolded. She wouldn't give up so fast or easily, but she didn't know if she really had a chance to either break this bond, or become a part of it.

If David have been born as a Pokémon, things would have been easier, since it wasn't uncommon for some species for the male to have a second female. She had heard about the other way around as well, but wasn't pleased by the thought of having two males for herself… The fights what would result of that weren't her thing; fights like who had the pleasure to mate her first, or who was the favorite one…

She shuddered at that thought. But she was more welcoming to the idea of sharing a male. Perhaps it had to do something with her past… but the problem remained was if David would think in the common way of humans about mates: Only one.

She asked for the bath, and as she was told where it was, she went to take a cold shower. The heat wasn't her thing either, and she also hoped that she'd get an idea about how to reach her goal.
