Drako looked up at Alessa with a slight smirk on his face. "So, what's this about?"

Alessa smirked back. "Remember the asshole from earlier?"

"Yeah. I think. There were multiples. Which one are we talking about?"

"Bitch with the Aron."

"Then yes. What about him?"

Alessa laughed. "Do you remember that one thing mom told us never to touch?"

"Do you mean that Pokeball with a Golurk in it?"

Alessa fell to the ground, anime style. She quickly got back up (still anime style). "How'd you know that?!"

He shrugged. "I peeked."

"You... peeked?!" Alessa turned a bright, furious red in the face. "And what do you think would have happened if that Golurk had gotten loose?"

"It'd be bad."

"Bad? 'It'd be bad'? Damnit Drako, for once in your life can you be serious?"

"I am serious. I am always serious. Now if you excuse me, I have some business to attend to."

"Don't be to late," Alessa said, a slight apology in her voice. "Are you taking Zardevoira?"

"Yeah, I might need her."

Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break.

"Well, this is it Zardevoira. The residential Moutain* Town Gang's hideaway. So, first on the list is... Golden Purloin statue. Got it," he said as he put the physical manifestation of his mental list into his back pocket. "The easiest way to do this will be teleporting in, but that's cheap, so we go in the good old fashioned way. Up and over."

"Hey you, what are you doing?"

"Shit. This is gonna be a long night."

Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break.

"You actually came back?"

Drako brushed his wet hair out of his eyes. "Yeah. You should really learn how to control your temper."

"I-. No, never mind. I'm surprised though. You're actually back before midnight. Unfortunately, due to your 'having business to attend to', we don't have time for my plan."

Drako laughed at that and tossed her a Pokeball. She looked at it curiously before trying to open it.

"Hey, what gives? It's not opening. Is it defective or something?"

"I have no idea," he shrugged," it was gold, so I took it."

"Took it," she said cautiously. "Took it from where?"

"The Moutain Town Gang."

"I gonna kill you in your sleep. Anyway, my plan was amazing. He leaves his room, we release the ball, and when he comes back in, he's facing a Golurk!"

"It wouldn't work. Your mom keeps it under her pillow when she sleeps. And chained to the bed post. And her arm. Not to mention, your mom is a really light sleeper."

"Then how'd you get it when you peeked?"

"She was drunk."

"Unsurprising. Anyway, you're not going to make me take a shower now, are you?" she asked, looking at him with little puppy dog eyes.

"No, I won't."

"Yay!"

"Heh. But I'm not waking you up tomorrow morning."

"AWWWW! Fine, I'll take one now."

"Good."

She glared at him. "Go to sleep."

Drako chuckled at that. "You know, I think I will." He got in the bed and laid down.

*Facepalm* "I meant on the couch smart-ass."

Drako chuckled again. "I know."

Alessa gave up and gathered up her bath- and sleep- wears and went to take her shower. Once she was finished, she crawled into bed w/ Drako. He was just awake enough by then to raise the blanket for her and lower it when he felt her wet hair against his chest. They fell asleep together. Twinkle and Zardevoira slept on Alessa's discarded clothes.

Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break. Line Break.

Alessa woke up the next morning (i.e. 7:30 A.M.) to a plate of sausage links and some rice next to her. She shook herself awake and started eating. She was just finishing up when Drako walked in shirtless and toweling his hair off.

"Hey. Enjoy the sausage and rice?"

"Yeah. I'm surprised you didn't add spaghetti. Or have you given up on some of your more radical breakfast ideas?"

"Don't sound so hopeful. I had to eat to. Get dressed, we need to be up to the lab in an hour. Which means you have five minutes. I've already fed Zardevoira and Twinkle, and got our stuff together. And before you ask, I went back to my house for a shower and my stuff."

"Okay, got it. You stole my dad's guns again, didn't you?"

"I am impressed. You've gotten much more attuned to my behaviour, haven't you?"

Alessa sighed. "Get out."

*Originally supposed to be 'Mountain', but I thought 'Moutain' sound cooler.
