Rain was falling heavily on the Battle Frontier. The thunder roared, scaring Leaf. Brandon stood behind her, watching the falling rain and the flashing lightning. Leaf screamed when a thunder cracked loudly, and then jumped into his arms.
-Sorry… it's just that… -the thunder clapped with deafening sound, and she hugged him tightly –I hate thunderstorms!
-It seems we're stuck here until the rain stops –he said, ignoring her

Leaf started shaking: her fear of thunder got the better of her. He looked at her, worried.
-I'm sorry; you must think I'm such a crybaby
-Not really

He hugged her.
