Gaby and Lily came back two hours later, their clothes and themselves clean. The boys were already asleep, but Kieran was sitting at the top of the nearby hill, staring up into the full moon. Lily did not notice and laid down, falling asleep almost instantly. Gaby, however, saw him alone and walked up the hill and stood beside him. He took no notice and remained motionless.
"Funny thing, being a Pokémorph," Kieran said, almost to himself. Gaby's eyes opened slightly with interest. "Makes people treat you kinda differently, doesn't it?"
"Yeah. That...That was your first encounter with a lot of people for a long time, wasn't it?" Gaby said.
"Yeah."
"You know, you're kinda like me," Gaby said, sitting next to him and also staring up into the moon. "I mean, I'd been alone for so long, then all you people showed up so fast...I didn't know what to do."
"Gaby..." Kieran said nervously, looking at Gaby. "I know this might be prying, but...Why don't you every talk about your past? I mean, before you were captured and stuff." Gaby looked at him curiously, then looked back up into the bright moon.
"The truth is, I don't remember anything," Gaby said slowly. "I'm not even sure how I was captured...I just made that up as an excuse...But I really don't remember anything before waking up in a lab. For all I know, I could just be an experiment, like Mewtwo. No mother, no father. Maybe...Maybe I don't have a purpose in life. I know what Mewtwo went through: Was I only meant as an experiment?"
"I...I don't know," Kieran said. "I have a few memories...But not many. I only get a picture or two...One of a burning house, and the other of a girl. I don't remember much else except that I've lived all my life as a runaway. I don't even know why I've lived like this."
"Well...We're not alone any more, are we?" Gaby said, brightening up slightly. Then Gaby remembered her conversation with Lily. She cracked into an evil grin.
"Kieran, wake Kip up, but be careful not to disturb Seth or Lily. I've got a plan."
------------------
"What the hell, Gaby?! Why are we..."
"Shut up!" Gaby whispered, pulling Kieran and Kip farther away from the other two and into some bushes. "I've got a plan."
"For what, may I ask?" Kip said, annoyed that he had been woken up at close to 3 in the morning.
"Has Seth been talking about...Lily?" Gaby asked. Kieran and Kip nodded.
"He asked us while you two were gone about Lily. Why?"
"Because Lily's asking the same thing about Seth."
"You're joking!!"
"Not at all! But neither will admit it! We need to get them together, alone, where they can talk without being overheard."
"And how are we going to do that?" Kieran asked. This sounded good and evil at the same time!
"Well...We need a closed in area...Like a forest or something..."
Kip pulled out his Mininav (Pokénav-thing). He pressed some buttons, then smiled.
"There's a forest east of here. It'll only take an hour to get there."
"Great. Then, we need to lure them in separately then disappear."
"How do we do that?"
"Well...Uh..." Gaby said, trying to think of a way. How could they do that without them noticing? She hadn't really thought about that part.
"Wait...I've got an idea..." Kip said. "What if...What if we used their Pokémon? We could get them to go into the forest, and they'd be forced to chase after them. We could make them meet somewhere...And the Pokémon could make sure they talk!"
"But which Pokémon?" Kieran said.
"That's easy: Sparks and Red. They'd love to see them together!" Gaby said. "Let me go get them..."
Gaby stretched out her hand, levitated two balls to them, and dropped them on the ground. Then she released them.
"Be quiet!" Gaby said as they appeared. They made no noise. Gaby explained the trap. When she had finished, both Red and Sparks were looking as evil as the humans. After a few more hours of planning, Gaby rose.
"Everyone got it? We're doing this today," Gaby said as the sun rose. "Now get back in your balls and pretend nothing happened!"
The Pokémon returned immediately, and they all jumped out and got into a sleeping position just as the other two woke up. The rest pretended to wake up as well. Kieran gave a wide yawn that was not acting at all.
"Well, we're going east today," Gaby said, standing up. The others groaned. "GET UP!!!"
The others got up reluctantly, grabbed something to snack on, and went on their way. They decided to go Poké-back today, so Seth was on Sparks, Lily was on Red, Gaby was on Slick, Kip was borrowing Dragonsong, and Kieran was sitting behind Kip.
So they were on their way. And, just as Kip had said, they reached the forest in an hour. They stopped at the edge to give the Pokémon some rest.
"What is it with this forest?" Lily said. "It's so peaceful..."
"It's probably because we haven't been this calm for a long time. It's been so long since we haven't hit some sort of natural disaster of some sort."
"Yeah...I'm so tired..." Kieran said. That was the signal.
Instantly Sparks jumped up, static flying from its coat. Seth stood up.
"What's wrong?" He said. Sparks glanced over at Gaby as she winked. Then he took off into the forest.
"Sparks! What the...? Sparks!" Seth said, running after him. Then Red stood up and bolted off into a different part of the forest.
"Red? What the hell are you doing?!" Lily said, running after him. The three left all smiled triumphantly.
"Stage one in place. Let's just hope Red and Sparks make the magic happen!"
Sparks darted through the forest, looking for a clearing. He constantly made sounds to make sure Seth followed him, and so that Red knew where to go.
"Sparks! Where are you going?" Seth said, trying to catch up to his runaway Manectric.
Meanwhile, Lily was having the same dilemma with Red. She flew in and out of the trees, gradually catching up to her Charizard. Then, they fell into a clearing, just as Sparks and Seth did opposite her.
"S-Sparks...." Seth said, staring first at his Manectric, then at Red, and finally at Lily.
"Red! What are you doing?!" Lily said. The Charizard nudged her in the back, trying to push her towards Seth. Sparks did the same to Seth.
"W-What?!" Seth said. Then it hit them both at the same time.
"GABY!!!!!!" Seth and Lily yelled at the same time.
"She set us up..." Lily said. Red and Sparks both smiled evilly.
"And you're helping her!" Seth said.
"Red! I can't believe you'd do this to me!!!!!!" Lily said incredulously. The Charizard snorted.
"You're not going to let us go until we talk to each other, aren't you?" Seth said, sounding defeated. Sparks nodded.
"Alright, we'll talk...Just leave us alone, ok?" Lily said to her Charizard. Red nodded and flew out of the clearing with Sparks running beside him. Lily and Seth looked at each other.
"Uh...Well, this is kinda awkward..." Seth said, looking very nervous.
"Yeah..."
"So...Uh..." Seth said, remembering that she might think he was crazy for even suggesting what was on his mind. Lily was thinking the same thing.
Gaby...I am going to KILL YOU!! Lily said. It was her fault. She planned this...Wait...She couldn't have done it alone!
Kip, Kieran...YOU ARE DEAD!!!!!!! Seth thought. They had set him up...No, they would have needed help...
"There's been a conspiracy against us..." Seth said, slowly, leaning up against a tree.
"I talked to Gaby last night, and you..." Lily said. Then it hit her. "S-Seth...What did you talk about when we were gone?"
"N-Nothing important!" Seth said, but he too realized it.
"Wait..." Lily said. But if she was wrong...
"YOU IDIOT!!!" Gaby's words from the night before rang in her head. "Look, you'd hate yourself forever if you were wrong, right? The only way to tell is to ask him yourself!"
"Seth...I don't know how to say this...But..." Lily started. Seth's eyes widened.
"Yeah, but if you don't..." Kieran and Kip's voices repeated from last night, "It'd be a real waste if you didn't know..."
"Uh...Lily...?"
"Seth...?"
Then, at the exact same time...
"I think I really like you."
Both looked shocked. They stared at each other, dumbfounded.
"Seth..."
"Lily..."
And then Lily, losing her mind completely, ran up and hugged Seth. Seth was in a temporary state of shock.
"L-Lily..." Seth said, managing to make his arms work and hugged Lily back. "Why didn't you tell me before?"
"Me? I should be asking you that question!" Lily said, looking up at Seth.
"Uh...You see...Well, I was afraid you'd think I was a freak or something if I was wrong...And why didn't you tell me? You're not as stupid as that!"
"Well...To tell you the truth, I was afraid of a 'no'. That's why I didn't ask."
"This is going to sound strange, but...Gaby's evilness can be turned good!"
Lily laughed and hugged Seth again. Then they decided to go back to the others. When they got back...
"YOU THREE ARE THE EVILEST BEINGS ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
And Gaby, Kip and Kieran spent the rest of the day running away from Lily and Seth. Eventually it turned into a game of tag, and finally, they decided to have a game of tag with only the Pokémorphs. Finally, they each got to show off their special powers.
"Alright! Gaby's it!" Kieran said, bolting away. Lily followed. Gaby smiled evilly and floated after them. Seth and Kip watched in amusement as Gaby swivelled up behind Lily and tapped her on the shoulder. Then Gaby darted away as fast as she could so Lily didn't tag her back.
Lily decided to pick on Kieran, so she chased after the slower kid. Or, at least everyone thought he was slower. When Lily was about to tag him, Kieran stopped, did a back flip over Lily, and darted away so quickly, it looked to everyone but Gaby that he was a black and grey blur against the grass.
Lily tried again, using stealth this time, got up beside him and whacked him with her tail. Kieran was sent flying, but he used that air to turn around and drive his foot into Gaby. She was knocked over into Lily, holding onto Kieran's foot. They were all in a heap of dizzy and laughing people, and needed the humans to help untangle themselves. When they were all detached, Gaby pulled Lily away from the rest while the boys pulled Seth away.
"What?" Lily said when they were a distance away from the rest.
"So? How'd it go?" Gaby said eagerly.
"Well..." Lily said. Maybe this was the best way to get revenge. "I just won't tell you..."
"What? Come o- Aww, don't you even think about revenge!" Gaby said. Lily just smiled evilly. Gaby looked thoughtful. "I see I'm rubbing off on you. Ah well, I'll just read your dreams tonight. They should tell the truth!"
Meanwhile, the boys were interrogating Seth about the same thing. Seth also thought it was the perfect opportunity for revenge.
"Well..." Seth said, getting all sad and depressed.
"Did she reject you?" Kip said.
"Well..." Seth said. Kieran and Kip looked sad for him. It was taking all of Seth's self control not to burst out laughing.
"Poor you," Kieran said, patting Seth on the back comfortingly.
"There'll be others, Seth!" Kip said, sounding pitiful.
"No, I don't think I'll ever find another one like her," Seth said, sighing heavily. Both boys tried to comfort Seth, who was turning red in the face with built up laughter. At that moment, Lily and Gaby returned. Lily took one look at Seth and knew what he had done. She burst out laughing, which set Seth off too. The two were in extreme hysterics.
"Well, I guess that's our reward for getting those two together," Gaby said, in a mock-disappointed voice. But she was smiling at the two.
"I guess our hard work paid off," Kieran said. Now if only there was a way to get Gaby and Kip to admit to each other...
Unfortunately for Kieran, both Kip and Gaby noticed the look that had come over his face. Gaby didn't need to be able to read his mind to tell what was going through his head.
"DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!!" Gaby and Kip said at the same time, rounding on the kid. He collapsed in a fit of laughter, which only made Seth and Lily, who were now rolling on the ground, clutching their sides because of the pain of laughter, laughing even harder. Kip and Gaby sighed. Then Gaby started to giggle. The giggles spread to Kip and evolved into full-out laughing.
I haven't laughed this hard for a long time, Gaby thought. Maybe having friends isn't so bad after all!
