Since this chapter's short, I'm gonna give you another chapter today. And I won't give a cliffie... yet. Anyways, thanks for reviewing LeafxGreenx3 and TheBobWhoFrtd! On with the story!
LEAF'S POV
About two days later, it was Sunday. I was going back to school on Tuesday. I was all better and healthy now, but Mom had Gary over just in case. All I wanted to do was go outside and relax in the warm fall breeze. Luckily, I convinced Gary to come outside with me after lunch. We did everything imaginable. We had Pokémon battles, climbed the big tree in my backyard, and just had fun.
After we went in for dinner, I dragged Gary back outside and once it got dark, we laid under the tree. We pointed out constellations and planets. We stayed out there forever. So long, in fact, that my mom came home. She never came out to get Gary or me though. After hours of talking and laughing and some small fights, I fell asleep. All I remember after that was being carried upstairs and laid on my bed. I was kissed on the forehead and covered with my blankets.
I mumbled, "Night, Mom," before completely falling asleep.
XXXXX
Monday was a boring day. Gary wasn't around to entertain me. The point is: I was bored. Everyone I knew was busy. Gary was probably happy he was done with me until school the next day.
I was sitting on the couch, bored out of my mind, until Mom said, "Since you have nothing to do, why don't you go over and thank Gary for watching you last week while you were sick?"
My face lit up. "Okay!"
I ran upstairs to get dressed. I put on a pair of mid-thigh cut jean shorts and this cute yellow top with my black low-cut converse. I started my walk over. On my way there, I got knocked over by Gary.
"Ow! Hey, watch where you're go-, oh Leaf! I have to give you something."
"Only if you let me tell you something first."
He sighed. "Fine, but make it quick. Gramps wants me at the lab to do some more research."
"I just wanted to say thanks for watching me this past weekend," I said as I felt the blush creeping up my face.
"It was my pleasure, except for the parts where you hit me."
We both laughed at the funny memory.
"I believe this is yours." He handed me a golden heart locket with my name engraved in a cursive font on the front.
I gasped as my hand flew to my neck and my eyes widened when I touched nothing but my neck. "Where did you find this?"
"I found it last night after you fell asleep. I saw something glittering on the ground so I picked it up. I realized this morning that it had your name on it."
I opened up the locket and saw my dad's smiling face on the inside. Then it happened.
Now we find out the mystery of how Leaf lost her father. Anyways, please read the next chapter!
