Happiness...
It has always been my goal to always see my friends happy. But we couldn't avoid a time where we go into despair. And that is why I always try to help out my friends to see them smile again.
But this time though, I was clueless... I dunno how to help Vixie... A simple laugh from a joke or two might crack a smile, but that won't solve her problem. No. I knew how to help her, but the problem was, I did not know HOW to help her...
Jay... It was Jay that would make her happy. But it was also Jay that made her so sad...
B-but... I guess I should be happy now. Jay's back, and Vixie's happy, and the rest of us are happy, too! Jay's a friend, and his absence really made us all worry about him. But now, he's back! Well, s-sort of. He's inside that blue orb thing. What was it called again? Soul Boo? Eh, it doesn't matter. What matters is that Jay's back, and he sounds really happy to see—er...to hear us, especially hearing Vixie with us. And Vixie's really happy, too.
...but...he's going soon. Very soon. When he leaves, I...don't know how to help Vixie... B-but Saur said to have some faith! So I should believe in myself! R-right! I'm sure I can think of something when the time comes. I hope.
Strange that a single person in one's life can both become someone's happiness and sadness... Kinda weird to think about it though. But, I guess that's how friendship works, too. There will always come a time when someone will leave to continue with their own lives... Like us! One day, we're gonna be having our own families, and we won't be seeing each other as frequent as we do now... It's...kinda sad...but I guess that's how life works... It still hurts to think about...now with Jay leaving us soon...
...life is full of meeting and leaving...in more ways than one...
Well, I promised myself not to think about them anymore, but, I guess I couldn't help it... It was a silly promise to begin with.
"You're crying again..." Saur whispered, patting my shoulder.
I sat down as I sniffed, and wiped my eyes with my paws. "Eh...eheheh, sorry, Saury," I chuckled poorly.
Saury only frowned on me. "I really hate that nickname, y'know..."
"I'm surprised you're still not used to it," I stuck my tongue out at him, and sniffed again. I sighed and shook my head.
Saury just kept his frown. "You don't have to think about them..."
"I...I-I couldn't help it," I squeaked. I turned, and stared at Vixie and Shockie, who were happily chatting with Jay The Orbie. "J-Jay's leaving... I-I don't like people leaving..."
"I know," Saury nodded, staring at our other friends. He then looked back at me with that cute smile of his. "But that's part of life, isn't it?"
I pouted. "Well, that's one part of life that I don't like. And that time when I met Lithe. And that time when those baddies Rocket meanies killed my family. Oh! And that time you and that old human put poison on the food that one time."
Saury frowned. "I told you that it was meant for the poison-types," he closed his eyes and sighed. "But you didn't listen."
I giggled. "Why should I? I was hungry that time!"
Saury rolled his eyes, "I was aware, yes..." He blinked, and looked at me. "You still didn't tell me how you got that out of your system."
I winked at him. "A girl has her secrets, Saury!"
He rolled his eyes again.
"Oi," Shockie called, looking at Saury and I. "You two have nothing to say to poor, little Jay?"
"Shock," Jay's voice sounded weird coming from that glowy orb thing. "Just so you know, I'm giving you a glare at the moment."
Shockie chuckled. "Oh? Hard to tell with you being an orb, Jay."
"Shock..."
"Just having some little fun, Vixie. Sheesh, no need to be so grumpy."
"I bet it's her hormones," Jay said, chuckling.
Shockie blinked, and chuckled as well.
Vixie supressed a growl. Instead, she looked down on the ground. "...wonder what would happen if I drop the Soul Dew..."
"Oi, oi, oi..." Jay said.
I chuckled. I guess I should count myself lucky to have friends like these. I could never ask for better friends than my friends! Because they're the best!
