Author's note: Just to let you know, when something is in '', Silversong's talking(ex. 'Example') and when something's in "", it's the little Lugia(ex. "Example"). Just to let you know ;)

----------

Everyone was speechless, staring at the little creature in Kip's hands. The Lugia was staring at Kip, looking hungry. It then let out a creel of hunger.

"Well, feed her!" Gaby said, throwing him a bag of berries. Kip opened the bag and put some berries on his hand, which the Lugia ate immediately.

"G-Gaby...Where did you get her?" Lily asked, astonished,

"Hmm?" Gaby said, taking her eyes off the little creature and instead looking over at Lily.

"Where did you get her?" Lily repeating her question. Now everyone was looking at Gaby, including the little Lugia, who had completely emptied the bag and was now satisfied.

"Yeah, how DID you get me?"

Everyone stared at the Lugia. It looked around at all of them.

"Did it just..." Seth said.

"Did I just what? Talk?" The Lugia said. Everyone but Gaby was even more shocked.

"I suppose I should explain..." Gaby said.

"Yeah, you should!!!!" Kip said.

"You see...Well it's a bit of a long story. Alright!!" She said defensively as everyone crowded around her. "Alright! Give me a break!!!"

"It all started 5 years ago, on that little beach I wound up on after my escape from Team Rocket. I sat there for a long time...Here, wait a second, I'm going to need help explaining this...Go, Silversong!" Gaby said, throwing a Pokéball up in the air. The Lugia came out. As soon as the little Lugia spotted it, it let out a happy cry and flew over to it. Silversong looked over and caught the speeding Pokémon. Then the little Lugia jumped onto Silversong's shoulder. It was a funny sight, seeing two Lugias, on the other's shoulder.

"Silversong...Give me a hand here!!" Gaby said. Silversong nodded.

'Yes, I found Gaby on that beach. I had sensed a great power that was very unfamiliar, yet familiar also. You see, I was sensing Gaby's human side, then her Lugia's. I decided maybe she could help me.'

"Help you how, Silversong?" Lily asked.

'My...That is to say, our...Parents had been killed, and all but on egg destroyed. Team Rocket is to blame for that. I knew that without my parents, the egg would not hatch unless it was helped by a human. But I didn't trust humans. So when I sensed Gaby, I thought we could give it a try...'

"Silversong, who is this 'we'?" Kip asked.

'I should explain that. This is my sister, who until recently, was just an egg. But thanks to Gaby's and your care, she's free.'

"Me? Why me?" Kip said, astounded.

"Because I wouldn't hatch for any but someone my brother really trusted!" The little Lugia piped up. "And that couldn't be Gaby."

"Why not?" Kip asked.

"Because she couldn't have TWO of us! We're too much to handle. And besides, I'd only hatch for a True human."

"Oh..." Kip said. "But why ME? Why not Seth, or anyone else?" The Lugia tried to answer, but Gaby shot her a sharp look. The Lugia stopped.

"What?" Kip said.

"Yeah, what Gaby? Why not me or anyone else?" Seth said.

"Because..." Gaby said. Both Lugias looked like they wanted to tell, but Gaby glared at them again and they remained silent, but both had unmistakable smiles on their faces.

"Gaby..." Lily said. "You can't fool me. I've got Pokémon instincts." Gaby looked very afraid.

"WHAT?!?!?!" Both boys said(Everyone got anime sweatdrops).

"Isn't it obvious?!" Lily said. The Lugia's agreed. Gaby looked at the ground, her face going very, very pink.

"Uh, I'm not following you," Seth said, scratching his head in confusion while Kip cocked his head, trying to figure it out as well.

"Let's get back to the story!!!!" Gaby said. The boys nodded, forgetting their whole conversation for the moment. Lily sighed.

'Right. I found Gaby on that beach, and once I saw her, I knew Team Rocket was behind it. I managed to help her out, then explained my problem. Sadly, Gaby couldn't make her hatch, but she promised that she'd find someone that could. And now she has, and I have a little sister!' Silversong finished happily, nuzzling the little Lugia.

"But..." Kip said.

"What?"

"Where have you been keeping it all this time?"

"Hmm?"

"The egg. Where has it been?"

"In my bag. Where else?"

"That's impossible. When you were kidnapped, you left your bag behind, and I went through it..."

"YOU WENT THROUGH MY STUFF?!?!?!?!?!"

"Hey, it was to find out if there were any clues to where you went!!!"

"Sure...!!!"

"Anyway, there was no sign of an egg at all!"

"Duh!!! Do you think I'd leave a random egg lying around there with no protection?! It was in a Pokéball! You can do that, you know!"

"Oh. Then why didn't you tell me?!"

"Because...Kip, for the longest time, I wasn't sure about you. There were the first circumstance..." Gaby trailed off, receiving a curious glance from Kip. "And I wasn't sure if you'd be accepted."

"Of course he would be!" The little Lugia said. Gaby froze. "After how much you trusted him? After how much you cared for him? You think I'd reject a person you loved?"

There was a silence. Gaby had turned beet-red and was staring at the ground, Kip was staring at her, dumb-struck, Seth was very shocked, and Lily and Silversong had blank expressions.

"G-Gaby...?" Kip said. Gaby turned even redder, if that was possible. "Is...This..." Gaby made no answer. Instead, there was a flash and Gaby had turned into her Lugia form. She took off and dived into the water.

"What did I say?"

'Sis, they didn't know yet!!!!'

"Oh...Why didn't you tell me?!"

"Uh...Someone should go talk to her..." Lily said, looking over at the water.

"How are we supposed to do that?!" Seth said. Kip was still in severe shock.

'I can take one of you down...' Silversong said.

"I'll go," Lily said. Silversong nodded. As Lily climbed on, the little Lugia took off and landed on Kip. Silversong took off and followed Gaby, careful to put up a shield so as not to get Lily's tail wet.

Down they dove, until they saw a Lugia swimming around. It turned around. It's eyes were grey, a new colour for both of them(Embarrassment. If you would like a list of eye coloursemotions, I'll be more then happy to e-mail the list to you!). Lily told Silversong to tell Gaby something.

'Gaby, Lily wants you to know that it's ok, and she's all for you staying down here for a while. She say's she's wait here with you.'

Gaby blinked at Lily. She sent a telepathic message to Silversong, and he translated.

'Gaby says that she's just so embarrassed, and she's grateful you'll stay down here. She also says that she wasn't and still isn't sure.' Lily replied.

'Lily says she knows how you feel. She's not sure about Seth either.' Gaby smiled, and her eyes changed to their regular deep-blue colour and she did a whoop in the water.

'Gaby says that she wants to stay down here a while longer. Would you like to be on her back?' Lily nodded. Suddenly her body glowed blue, and a second later she was on Gaby and Silversong was floating back to the surface.

They stayed down there for about an hour, Lily talking casually with Gaby about random things. They were in the middle of doing some fast swimming when Gaby suddenly stopped.

"Gaby...?" Lily said, but then she felt it too.

Gaby started swimming up until she broke the surface. And what they saw they did not like.
