Hey everyone back with another exciting chapter of Latios and Emily. As the title would suggest, Emily is humiliated even further with a ride in a baby carriage.

That is all I am willing to spoil for this chapter though, so if you want to know what else happens continue reading.

(Mina)

"Let us go over this one more time just to make sure we have everything." An officer told Mina as he got out his electronic notepad to take notes.

Mina sighed with frustration, her daughter has been missing for five days now and they still just wanted to make sure she had her facts straight? Why weren't they looking for her baby?!

She knew they wouldn't find anything anyway even if they did look for her daughter, but she had to report Emily missing otherwise the media would. If they media had broadcasted it, Mina would have looked like an irresponsible parent and could possibly have Emily taken away from her.

If she isn't already dead. Mina thought to herself sadly. She knew her daughter was strong, but that didn't make her worry less. No it did the opposite for her, she ended up thinking of the worst case scenario. It broke her heart to think this way, but she was truly scared she would never see Emily again.

When she was pregnant with Emily it had been the best thing that had ever happened to her. For she knew that little one inside of her would love her no matter what. After multiple rejections from guys who seemed to care less about her, the thought of another human loving her unconditionally was like a gift from above.

So, as much as she didn't want help from the police, she had no choice but to call for their help if she wanted to keep her precious daughter.

"I was away on tour during the time and Emily was at home with my staff to take care of her." Mina explained to them without mentioning that Artemis had actually been the one supposed to be watching Emily. She couldn't tell them she had left her cat in charge after all. "Later on that day I got a call from Emily's high school, informing me Emily had not come to school that day. I then phoned home and asked if Emily was sick because it's not like her to skip school. When they told me she had left for school that morning and hadn't come home, I got worried and called her friends to ask if they had seen her at all. After I had gotten yet another no I called you detective, now it has been five days and I still haven't heard from my daughter, and you haven't told me if there has been any progress on her case!"

"Ms. Aino, we are doing everything we can to locate your daughter, I assure you." Detective Michael told her, though Mina wasn't sure whether to believe him. She'd dealt with detectives as Sailor V so she knew they were all but useless when it came to dealing with monsters and demons summoned by evil beings. "Now I know I have asked this before but are you certain Emily was kidnapped?"

"What else could have caused my baby to disappear?!" Mina then snaps at him. He was handsome and could have been her type if they had met under better terms, but right now under these circumstances she didn't give a damn about his looks.

"Well…given the fact that she is a teenager, that is stressful enough but to be a teenager and the daughter of a famous popstar such as yourself…" Detective Michael trailed on.

"What are you getting at?" Mina then asked him with a glare. She wasn't sure what he was suggesting but she knew she would not like it.

"Well as you said you were on tour when it happened right? Just how often does your career take away from seeing your daughter?" He then asked her.

"…More often now since she is older, b-but what does that have to do with anything?" Mina asked still unsure what he was getting at.

"And you've said her father is very seldom in her life as well correct?" He asked her again ignoring her question.

"Yes I did, but what does this have to do with my daughter being kidnapped?!" Mina then shouts now irritated.

"Well you see Ms. Aino when you combine this with the stress of being a teenager in general as well as paparazzi following you around, my theory is it was too much for her to handle. Because of such a stressful life and her parents never being around it is easy to assume she ran away." Detective Michael told her and Mina could feel her jaw drop. Did they just compare her to Charles?! How dare they accuse her of being a neglectful mother!

"Get out." Mina told both the officer and Detective Michael darkly.

"W-what?" Detective Michael seemed to be taken aback by her tone and her words.

"Are you deaf? I said get out!" She then told them with a snarl.

"B-But Ms. Aino we are not done…"

"I WANT YOU OUT OF MY HOUSE! NOW GET OUT BEFORE I HAVE SOMEONE THROW YOU OUT!" Mina shouted cutting him off. He had no right to tell her she was a bad mother. He had no right to tell her this when she was grieving. He had no right to accuse her of being the cause of Emily's disappearance.

"B-but Ms. Aino…" Detective Michael tried once more but she warned him.

"GAURDS!" Mina shouted and two big muscle men came into the room and glared at the officer and detective that had upset their mistress.

It took two seconds before both the officer and Detective Michael high tailed it out the door. Once they did her guards asked if she was alright. She told them she was fine and thanked them.

Once they were gone Mina sank into her sofa and started to cry her eyes out. Her daughter was missing and now the cops were accusing her of being the cause of it. Could her life get any worse?

"Mina? Are you okay?" A familiar voice then asked.

Mina looked down and saw that Artemis had entered the room. He must have just gotten back from the palace, he was supposed to be spending the day with Luna and Diana.

"…No, no I'm not Artie" Mina sobbed and Artemis hopped onto the couch and snuggled her.

"What happened?" Artemis then asked her with concern.

"The detective and an officer came by to ask me some more questions, th-then he accused me of being no better than Charles and saying it's my fault Emily is gone…" Mina told him still sobbing and Artemis nodded in understanding.

"Don't listen to them Mina… You are a good mother. You know it is not your fault Emily is gone. Even if you had been home there is no guarantee she wouldn't have gone missing." Artemis told her soothingly.

"I-I know but..."

"No buts Mina, this was not your fault. We will find Emily, I promise you we won't stop looking for her no matter what." Artemis said as he cut her off. Artemis then began to nuzzle her.

"Thank you Artemis… you always know how to cheer me up." She told her oldest and dearest friend.

"Anytime Mina." Artemis then told her before he started to cuddle Mina in her lap.

Once Artemis was settled, Mina started to seriously hope Artemis was correct and that they would find Emily. She also hoped they would find her soon, and that her little girl would be okay because she did not want to live in a world without her daughter.

(Latios)

As Latios woke up and looked at the clock near his bedside, when he saw the time he was afraid he had slept through his alarm. As he looked around the room though and spotted Emily still asleep in the crib, he remembered he had turned his alarm off so she could sleep and hopefully not be cranky.

Today was officially day one of him being a parent. He did not want to count last night. Last night had been a disaster. He had scared her, made her cry and over all made her miserable.

Latios was seriously hoping Emily would be less difficult today though. And that she as well would want a clean slate instead of remembering last night. As he looked at her now though, she looked like a regular little hatchling. She was curled up and cuddling the little plush toy version of his sister that he had gotten her. He had to admit it was quite adorable but Latios couldn't help but think there might be something wrong.

Latios then went closer to the crib and looked down at Emily. It was then that he saw the tear stains on her face.

What? But I wiped away her tears before I put her down in the crib. D-did she start to cry again sometime during the night and I didn't notice? Latios wondered before he bent down and started to pet her head. He hoped this would provide her comfort.

He wasn't sure what to do about Emily. She was cute yes but she also has a crazy imagination. But him calling it that seemed to upset her even more. He would feel more confident about this parenting thing if he knew how to handle this sort of situation. Would also help if she had called him Daddy when she hatched.

Latios really didn't understand why Emily was so different. Yes, the book had told him all hatchlings were different, but Emily seemed to be a special case. He had been hoping for her to open her eyes and when she saw him to chirp cutely and call him Daddy. Instead she had looked terrified and attacked him. Never in all the years that he has been alive would he have expected that kind of reaction from his first child.

Then that light from her birthmark…just what was that? Latios shook his head if he thought about that he would just give himself a headache.

Latios just sighed as he looked down at her, she was definitely unique. So unique that even Uxie was stumped by her. A hatchling had actually stumped the being of knowledge. This was a feat in itself, but he just hoped she didn't prove to be too unique. Stumping Uxie was one thing but if she continued to say she was from another dimension and fell through what might be an Ultra Wormhole… he didn't want to think about what the others might try to do to her.

Latios then began to scratch behind her fin as he petted her. This action earned him some cute chirps as she started to wake up. Latios then used Psychic to cut up some apples for her and turned them into applesauce. No doubt she'd be hungry, but as he did so couldn't stop smiling. He was smiling because that was the first happy sound she had made since she hatched. He knew it was most likely because of the sweet spot he had just found that was enticing the cute happy chirps, but still she at least sounded happy.

"Good morning sweet Emily." Latios then said to her in a soft tone. He really hoped she was okay. "How was your first night?"

She looked like she was still waking up, but she was still chirping cutely when she responded to his question. She was also nuzzling his paw, which Latios found really adorable. "It was okay I-I guess."

Latios smiled and decided not to ask about the tear stains. It would only make him paranoid that he did something wrong again. Instead he just adjusted the pillow near her with his free paw so she would be even more comfortable. This was going better than he expected. Maybe she would even call him 'Daddy' today. He hoped so but wouldn't hold his breath on it.

"That's good to hear, any pleasant dreams you wish to share?" Latios then asked her. He kept scratching her sweet spot as well since she seemed to like it. What with the way she nuzzling his paw like a kitten would nuzzle a human hand for attention.

Okay why am I like putty in his paws right now? All he is doing is scratching a spot… that feels really good… but still why is it making me chirp like a bird. Latios heard Emily think to herself. He guessed she didn't understand what a sweet spot was.

"Well… um actually…" Emily began before she shook her head. "I mean no. No I don't have anything to share."

Latios was tempted to question her but he didn't want to start an argument this early in the morning. So, for now he would let it go.

"Well not every night can be memorable." Latios told her before picked her up and put her in the high chair. "Now, let's get you some breakfast little one. You must be hungry. Do you still want help or do you want to try and eat on your own?"

What I would like is to be able eat the way I used to. Latios then heard Emily think to herself. He wasn't sure what she meant by that though. Did she still believe she really was a human? He had been hoping she would forget about that little fantasy she had created. But beggars wouldn't be choosers

"…On my own I guess." Emily answered and Latios set the bowl of applesauce he had made up in front of her. It was at that point in time he wished he had a camera or that someone was watching on the security cameras. Emily eating for the first time on her own was a big deal. She only hatched yesterday and she was already eating by herself, she was growing up almost too fast for him.

Glad it's only him and that he doesn't have a camera, this is humiliating enough without photo memorabilia. These thoughts confused Latios as well. Emily was much too young to be embarrassed by baby pictures. Why should she care if he took a picture?

His questions are soon forgotten as he watched her begin to eat. He softly smiled at the cute sight. His first child was eating on her own. As Latios thought this though he was slightly saddened. Emily was his first child, but she was not his and Celebi's first child.

Well maybe now the others will do their own work. I mean they know I have Emily to look after now. If that happens maybe Celebi and I can get back together… Emily growing up with only one parent is not ideal after all. Latios thought to himself as he started to cheer up. It would take work but if all went according to plan he and Celebi could raise Emily together.

Latios then continued to watch as Emily ate. It looked as if she was trying to eat without making a mess but she wasn't succeeding. He found it very comical actually, and really adorable. He probably should have put bib on her. Emily didn't seem amused though. She actually seemed a bit frustrated to him about the situation. To him though it was still adorable.

Once Emily was done eating he took a handkerchief and gently wiped her face clean. She squirmed a little but otherwise didn't fight him too much on it. She would still need a bath though.

"Did you enjoy your breakfast wittle Emiwy?" Latios then asked her once he finished cleaning her face.

"It was fine if you like baby food I guess and applesauce. Would have preferred pancakes or something though." Emily answers him and he is left pondering how she even knows what pancakes are.

"Uh… well they're not healthy for a young hatchling like you I'm afraid." He answered before her picked her up. "But this is, it's bathy time now."

Latios then proceeded into the bathroom that was connected to his room. He could feel Emily wiggling in his arms and he honestly hoped it was because she was happy she would get to play in water. Once he was in the bathroom he set her down in the tub and turned the water on. He made sure it was warm, after all he didn't want to shock her with cold or scald her with hot.

"I know you're a Dratini but please don't splash around too much okay?" Latios then asked her with a soft chuckle before he began to wash her. She was squirming as he did so though. "Hey now hold still I know you wanna play but I'm not done with your bath."

"St-stop touching me! I-I don't like it!" Emily exclaimed as she still continued to try and squirm away from him. He didn't understand why though… he was being as gentle as he could be.

"Why? What's wrong? Am I hurting you?" He asked her now concerned.

"W-well no…" She answered him.

"Then what is it?" He asked her now really confused. "Is the water not warm enough? A-are you getting sick already? What?"

"Y-you're making me uncomfortable!" Emily shouted at him. "Maybe you don't mean to and you probably don't but it feels like y-you're feeling me up..."

I know it's silly to think like that when this isn't my human body but, it still feels weird. He wasn't sure what he had been expecting but it had not been that.

He didn't care what Uxie had told him yesterday, he was all but certain Emily has brain damage. He bet Thundurus gave it to her while she was an egg. The poor little one never even stood a chance. And now she was accusing him of being a sick pervert because of it. She shouldn't even know those kinds of concepts yet. Where did she learn them? He swore that if Thundurus and his brothers had talked about such things when he still had her egg he would pummel them.

"Emily I am doing no such thing." He then told her calm before scratching behind her fin and causing her to chirp with delight. "I don't know where you learned such things but I swear I would never do something like that to you or anyone. Now can we please finish with your bath?"

"I-I guess so yes..." Emily told him as she chirped happily from her sweet spot being scratched.

With that Latios continued to wash and scrub her gently till she was clean. He then scooped her up and wrapped her in a towel to dry her off. Thankfully for him she wasn't wiggling as much now. Once she was all dried off he carried her back to his bedroom/ nursery.

"Now that you're all clean what would like to do Emily? We can leave your schooling for tomorrow, all that stuff is rather boring anyway. Your first day here should be fun, right?" Latios asked her with a smile. He hoped he sounded like a fun parent. He didn't want her to think he was a dull and boring stick in the mud kind of parent. Besides Latias had been right, he should use this month to bond with Emily. Children need to smile and laugh, and he was determined to do just that.

"…I don't really know…does it matter?" Emily asked him as he saw another frown forming. "I mean I can't do anything I used to like now."

Latios wasn't sure what she meant by that but he wanted to get that frown off her face. He then had an idea of what he and her could do together.

"Well how about a tour around the Hall? That could be fun, right?" Latios asked hoping she would like the idea.

It might be helpful to know what the rest of this place looks like and what other beings live here. Latios then heard her ponder over the idea in her mind, it didn't sound like a no.

"Well… okay I guess it could be fun." Emily answered him and he smiled at her.

Latios then used Psychic to bring out a bright neon pink baby carriage. He saw Emily's eyes gawk at the thing before he strapped her in.

"Are we comfy Emiwy?" He then asked her in a cooing tone.

As soon as she was strapped in though Emily began to wiggle and squirm in the carriage. She then proceeded to whimper and pout as well as give him cute little baby serpent eyes. Latios then leaned down to loosen her strap a little, just not enough so she could escape.

"I'm sorry sweetie was that too tight?" He asked her in a worried tone.

Rats. I thought he would take it off. He then heard Emily's pouting thoughts, and he understood her clever little plan.

"Ah, I see. Nice try Emily but I wasn't born yesterday." Latios then tapped her nose with a chuckle. "But that was still rather adorable. Still you need to be strapped in for your own safety. We don't want you to run off now do we?"

Emily was still pouting so he took her orange baby blanket from the crib and tucked her in to the carriage with it. He hoped it would make her feel a bit better as well make her look even cuter.

"Does this feel any better?" He then asked her.

Well it does feel a little better…I mean no! Ugh stupid childish, baby thoughts! Latios chuckled as he heard her thoughts. He then pushed the carriage out into the hallway and began giving Emily the grand tour.

(Emily)

Emily groaned as she heard yet another legendary squeal in delight upon seeing her. She wasn't sure just how much time had passed since the so called grand tour started but so far, she has met four squealing females. One was a fire bird/ Phoenix named Moltres, another was a floating pink cat like creature named Mew. Then there was another floating being, she kind of resembled Uxie, she had twin tails a red jewel in her forehead but she was pink and blue and her eyes were open. Latios had called her Mesprit, the one she was meeting now looked like a green haired popstar called Meloetta.

Emily kind of liked her, mostly because she reminded her of her mom. She could feel her tears building as she thought about her mother. Emily could only imagine how well she was taking the news of her disappearance. She knew this kind of situation was her mother's worst nightmare, she wished there was a way to get a message to her mom just so she could let her know she was alright. Sadly, though she had no way of doing that.

Emily soon felt a tear fall down her face. It was not just her mother that she missed, she missed her friends to. She also worried about their safety and the fate of their world.

What if I finally find a way to get back home and there is no home to go back to? What then? Will I have to stay here forever? Emily wanted to break down and cry right then and there. As much as she wanted to be hopeful it was hard to be when she couldn't even escape a pink baby carriage.

"Oh, thank you for bringing her by so I could see her!" Meloetta then squealed. "She's so cute!"

"You're very welcome Meloetta. I know Emily enjoyed meeting you as well." Latios then looks down at her. "Isn't that right Emily?"

Emily then quickly wiped her tears away with her blanket. "Uh-um yes it was nice to meet you."

Latios must have to noticed something was wrong with her since he started to pet her head. "But I'm afraid we had better be going if Emily is to see the rest of the Hall before nap time."

"Awww…well okay." Meloetta said but she sounded disappointed their meeting was cut so short. "Bye, bye Emily."

Meloetta then patted her head before Latios began to push the carriage away. Once they were out of ear shot of Meloetta and she guessed anyone else who could have overheard them he began talk to her directly.

"…Emily? A-are you okay? You looked…well it looked as if you were heart broken." Latios said in a worried tone.

"…you wouldn't believe me even if I told you." Emily said because it was the truth. She had told him what was bothering her yesterday and this morning and he had looked at her as if she was crazy.

"…Emily, I know we got off on the wrong paw…but y-you know you can tell me anything, right?" He told her before gently stroking one of her fins. Emily had to admit the touch was nice and almost comforting… but she still was unsure if she should trust Latios. "I am your caregiver after all."

"I just don't want to talk…" Emily told him. His touch may have reminded her of her mom or Artemis but that did not make him her parent.

Latios looked as if he wanted to continue the conversation but then something caught Emily's eye. There on the wall was one of the best paintings she had ever seen. The painting showed the legendaries fighting some kind of enemy. She could tell it was the legendaries in the painting because she spotted Latios and his sister near the front lines of the battle. The enemy they were facing was way harder to describe. One looked like a giant red mosquito with muscles, another looked like a tree made of cable, while another looked like some weird origami project.

"Do you like the painting?" She then heard Latios ask her. She guessed she had been staring at it a little too long. But she couldn't help it, the painting looked so realistic. It almost looked like the characters on the canvas would come to life. But she nodded all the same because she couldn't deny that she did like it.

"Would you like a closer look?" Latios asked her before he leaned down and unbuckled her strap and lifted her up to see the painting.

As Emily looked at the painting closer now she saw that it was very detailed. The colours also helped with the telling of the story. The texture could use work she admitted but it was an impressive piece nonetheless. She wondered who had painted it.

"Uh…Latios do you know the artist behind this" She then decided to ask him.

"O-oh well…that would be…me." He answered and Emily's jaw dropped.

"You painted this?!" Emily was truly shocked by this revelation. She had no idea Latios could paint, or paint this well for that matter.

"Yes, well it was a long time ago." Latios said before he set her down again. She noticed that he didn't do up the strap this time though. "As was this battle. Though I remember it like it was yesterday…but a story like that might bore you."

"…No actually…I want to hear it… as well as who those monsters are." She then said. While it was true she wanted to know who, the enemy was they were facing in the painting, she also needed a distraction if she were to escape.

"Really? You do?" Latios then asked sounding unsure of her intentions but Emily just nodded and gave him a pleading look. "Aww…okay how can I say no to such an honest request and cute face. It all started a long time ago back before Solgaleo and Lunala became our allies. Our world was still fresh and new as was the world of the Ultra Beasts. The Beasts though saw our world and their leader wanted nothing more than to devour it. But we were not about to let that happen, so we gathered up all our courage and fought the Beasts."

As Latios turned away from her and back to the painting he continued his epic tale of the war between the Beasts and the Legendaries. She was rather fascinated by the tale but now was her chance to get out of here and find a way back home somehow. She knew she had to be fast and quiet so she did her best to quietly slither out of the disgustingly pink baby carriage, then she slithered as fast as she could to the nearest corner and made the turn. To her dismay though the fastest she could go wasn't very fast at all.

I need to go faster otherwise he's going to catch me in no time at all. Emily thought to herself, then suddenly, she did start moving faster. The speed she was moving at though was faster than the speed she could run even in her human form…. what was going on? It was like when she fired those blue flames out of her mouth she would think of attacking or defending herself and then her new serpentine body acted out of instinct. Only this time she was moving faster than she ever had before.

Sadly, though just like with the blue flame she was able to use, she didn't know how to control this new speed boost thing. And soon found herself crashing into somebody.

(Cresselia)

Here she was just minding her own business and trying to think of a way to win over Latios when someone crashed into her at full speed. The nerve of them! Did they not know who she was? She was the bringer of good dreams, the most beautiful and most popular legendary of them all! Humans all over the world always prayed to her if they wanted sweet dreams. The only one who came close to being as popular as her was Jirachi. But he was only popular because of humans who wished upon the North Star.

Whoever just bumped into me should be visited by Darkrai tonight! Cresselia thought to herself angrily as she looked down to see whom had bumped into her. Below her was young Dratini…but this Dratini was a very peculiar colour. She was gold in colour.

If there was one thing she couldn't stand it was children. She wished Pokemon and humans could just be born as adults. Babies were so annoying and such attention hogs. They make one little whimper and everyone rushes to the sniveling little brat to make sure they are okay. It was so ridiculous to her, why look and coo at something that only knows how to drool, eat and make a mess?

She never wanted children they weren't even that cute. Not when compared to herself that is. She was about to tell this brat off when she stopped to think for a minute. She wondered why a baby Dratini was even in the Hall of Origin, she then remembered that a certain someone had adopted an egg in the past couple of days, and that someone was the one she was trying to make her boyfriend.

I think I just found his Achilles' Heel. Cresselia thought to herself with a smirk as she picked up the young hatchling.

"Oh, I am so sorry sweetie, are you hurt?" Cresselia asked in a sickeningly sweet tone. She was sickening herself with this kind of talk but if she wanted Latios' heart then she had to make this brat like her. He'd have to go out with her if his child liked her better than Celebi.

The child looked at her with a pout before answering her. "No…now could you put me down?"

"Oh, I'm not sure about that sweetiepie, we should try to find your Daddy." The kid sounded way more mature than she had been expecting. And now that Cresselia was hold her she saw the birthmark on her neck. Just how had a cutie like Latios ended up with such a freak of a daughter? Oh well once he and her were a couple they could worry about making the kid…look more normal. As much as she hated kids she couldn't just get rid of this one if she wanted to be Latios' girlfriend and possibly future wife. And if she was gonna be the potential mother figure to this brat she at least wanted them to look like the perfect happy family someone of her beauty deserved.

"Now come on cutie he shouldn't be too far." Cresselia said again. "Oh, I bet he'll be so happy that Auntie Cressy found you."

So happy that he'll have to be my boyfriend. Check and Mate Latios. Cresselia thought to herself as she readjusted the hatchling in her arms and went to look for Latios.

(Latios)

"Now this is where it gets really exciting Emily, I used my invisibility skill to sneak behind the enemy lines with Latias and Victini. We ambushed a whole heard of Buzzwole and Pheromosa. It was an easy win for our side since we had Victini with us. Not only is he a Fire and Psychic type but he is also the Victory Pokemon. It is almost impossible for him to lose a battle." Latios was in his own little world right now. Remembering his glory days when he was still young and life wasn't near as depressing. He was also very delighted that Emily had liked the painting he painted so much and had wanted to hear the story behind it. Perhaps she liked him more than he thought she did. Or at least she might now, after hearing how much of a hero her Daddy was way back when might be winning her over into thinking of him as such.

Unfortunately for him though he was so wrapped up in the story he didn't see or hear his sister's approach until she spoke up.

"Brother? What are you doing?" Latias asked causing him to jump.

"O-oh hello sis…uh I was just telling Emily the story behind this painting that I painted a long time ago." Latios told her as he nodded to the baby carriage where his little girl was.

"You probably bored her to sleep." Latias giggled as she came over and looked into the carriage. Latias frowned then looked up at him. "Uh…. brother? Where is Emily?"

"What do you mean where is she?" Latios now asked her confused. Was his sister blind? "She's right… here…"

As Latios himself looked into the baby carriage and he saw that it was empty. Panic slowly began to creep in. Latios then began to look around frantically.

This is bad this is very bad. Latios thought to himself as he kept muttering 'oh no' to himself. How could he have let this happen?! Why had he not put her strap back on?! If he had she wouldn't have wandered off all by herself!

He then heard his sister sigh "Okay brother don't panic, she couldn't have gotten far. Let's just split up and look for her okay?"

He tried to calm himself down by taking a nice big deep breath. But he couldn't calm himself down because he was too busy kicking himself for letting this happen. She was only a hatchling, and he was certain she had some brain damage what if she ran into the wrong Legendary and started talking about her fantasy life?! They could possibly kill her! He had to find Emily now!

"Y-yes, yes you're right you go that way" Latios pointed to the left hallway "I-I'll go this way."

Once he and his sister had split he wondered how she had gotten away without him noticing. Had he been so wrapped up with the past that he had been unable to see what was right in front of him? Or had Emily hated him so much that she took the first chance she had and ran away from him.

No, th-that can't be it she only hatched yesterday…technically she hasn't even been alive for a full day yet. She can't hate me already, right? Latios hoped he was right but he was uncertain. He just hoped he would find her soon.

Emily! Where did you go?! T-this isn't funny young lady! Please tell Mr. Latios where you ran off to! Latios then tried calling out to her telepathically when still didn't see her. Just how far had she gotten?

(Emily)

Emily was now frustrated with herself, not only had she been caught but there was something fishy about her captor. She didn't know who this crescent headed pink being was but she obviously knew who Latios was meaning bad news for her.

Emily wasn't certain why she thought something was fishy about the being she was now dubbing Crescent Head, but it was just a feeling. Sure, she was talking sweetly to her but it almost sounded forced.

It almost reminded her of the time some lady her father worked with had come over to his place while she had been visiting…

Emily was begging her father to take her to the park so they could play. Her father had looked ready to give in when suddenly there was a knock at the door.

"I'll be right back Princess." Her father had told her. But being that she was only six years old curiosity had gotten the better of her and she followed her father to the door.

What Emily saw shocked and hurt her. At the door was a woman just a bit younger than her mother, and this woman was kissing her father!

"D-Daddy? W-who this?" Emily asked him because she descended from Venus she could tell the kiss had been unwanted. This relieved her but also made her hate the woman even more.

Her father then broke away from the woman and glared at her before coming over and picking her up. "…Emily this is Gena, we work together and she was just leaving."

"Charles wait come on…can't we talk about this?" Gena then asked

"No we can't. I've told you before I am not interested in a serious relationship. Not only that but I have my daughter with me as you can see." My father explained to her and she hoped the lady could take a hint and take a hike.

"B-but I am sure this sweet little thing wouldn't mind if I stayed…right precious?" Gena then asked Emily.

"Daddy I thought we were going to the park why is the old hag still here?" Emily asked as she snuggled closer to her father.

"O-old hag?! M-my what an imagination…" Gena said but Emily could tell her eye was twitching.

"I think that settles that." Her father then said "Okay Princess go get ready"

Her father then put her put her down and whispered in her ear. "…We'll also be talking about what you call people sweetie. That wasn't nice."

Emily nodded with a pout, she guessed she had crossed a line but she didn't regret calling Gena a hag. She then did as her father asked and got ready to go play in the park…

Gena hadn't been seen with her father since then but the situation she was in right now felt like that time back then. And she thinks she knows why the situation feels familiar.

Emily couldn't be sure until she saw Crescent Head interact with Latios but she was almost positive she liked him. But she didn't know if Latios shared those same feelings. If not, then her suspicions about Crescent Head's intentions would be correct. She was just using her to get to Latios. And Emily did not like being used as a tool.

Emily! Where did you go?! T-This isn't funny young lady! Please tell Mr. Latios where you ran off to! Emily looked around when she heard Latios' voice.

"Something wrong sweetie?" Crescent Head then asked her.

"...No, I'm fine." She answered but she could have sworn she heard his voice just now.

That's so weird why did I just hear his voice? Emily thought to herself as she tried to think of a way to get rid of Crescent Head like she had gotten rid of Gena.

You did! We will discuss how I am able to do this later, right now…WHERE ARE YOU?! Do you know how worried I've been?! Emily almost jumped back in surprise…he sounded very scared and panicked…perhaps her running away had not been the best idea.

I-I'm not really sure… I just started going really fast all of a sudden and crashed into Crescent Head. Now she's looking for you. Emily then told him she should at least try to calm him down. She didn't like him much but didn't want the guy to suffer a heart attack.

'Crescent Head'…great just great. Latios then answered her sounding annoyed. Just sit tight Emily I'll be there with you shortly.

Emily just sighed wondering how long that could take. She then noticed Crescent Head had gone silent. Though it was the same kind of silence that she had seen Latios and his sister take while they were talking yesterday.

"Well since we're here anyway little one why don't we go see Darkrai until your Daddy comes to get you." Crescent Head then tells her as they go to a door that was completely black in colour.

Emily then heard singing, she looked to where it was coming from. What she saw coming their way could only be described as some sort of shadow demon. It floated above the ground, a black wispy body, a red jaw like thing around its neck, a blue demon-like eye and white cloud thing on its head. And it looked like he was wearing headphones?

"Hm? Cresselia? What are you doing here...and with a kid?" The being asked them as he took his headphones off.

"Oh, this is Latios' new daughter." Crescent Head told him. "She apparently got away from him so I'm keeping an eye on her until he gets here. Isn't that right cutie wootie?"

"… 'Cutie wootie' why are you talking like that? I thought you hated…oh wait I understand now." The being she was assuming to be Darkrai then sighed and looked at Emily with pity. "Really Cresselia? Resorting to using this poor little cutiepie to get Latios as your boyfriend…have you no pride? Here give her to me, I'll return her to Latios."

When Emily heard her theory confirmed she wanted nothing more than to be away from this being.

"No. You are not ruining this! Don't you see once I get this dumb baby to adore me he'll have no choice but to date me!" Crescent Head said then paused. "…did I just say that out loud?"

"Yes. You did." An angry growl from Latios was then heard from behind Crescent Head.

Emily smirked at the timing and for once let her childish thoughts take over and began to cry.

"Wh-why Crescent Head be mean to me?" Emily cried.

"Ack! S-shut up y-you little brat…I-I mean d-don't cry little...wait…what did you just call me you little freaky brat?!... I-I mean precious l-little one…" She heard Crescent Head try to retain her little act but it was falling apart. As it did she started to fake cry harder.

"…Give me my daughter…now." Latios then said in a calm but angry tone before taking her into his arms. "shhh… there, there Emily. Don't listen to meanie Crescent Head."

"Now you're calling me that?!" Crescent Head then shouted at Latios.

"You do deserve it." Darkrai commented. "You did make her cry."

"Oh please! That brat did it on purpose to make me look bad!" Crescent Head shouted back. She was not wrong but Emily wasn't about to admit it.

"She doesn't need to." Latios then growled. "You did that by yourself when you told Darkrai your little plan out loud."

"B-but I-I… she… Errr!" Emily almost smirked at how frustrated she sounded, but she didn't since she didn't want her own little act ruined. Emily then snuggled closer to Latios when Crescent Head glared at her to keep the act up. "You just made the worst enemy ever brat! I blame you for this!"

Latios just held her closer as Crescent Head stormed off. From the angle she was at, Emily could tell he was glaring in the direction she went before he called out to Crescent Head.

"Just so you know you have no chance of ever replacing Celebi in my heart!" Latios then gently rocked Emily in his arms. "I am never taking my eyes off you again. And don't you ever pull this kind of stunt again you hear me young lady?"

Emily sighed while she did feel bad she had made him worry so much, she wasn't sure she could promise not to do it again. If she wanted to go home she needed to find a way to do so. That could mean her needing to run away again.

"I'm sorry I worried you Latios." Emily then told him truthfully.

"Just don't do it again, okay?" Latios said before hugging her.

"Awww now isn't that sweet?" She and Latios then turned toward Darkrai.

"Sorry all this happened outside your room Darkrai." Latios then told him.

"Don't worry about it, I'm just glad your cutie got back to you safely." Darkrai told him before looking at Emily directly and handed her a feather that was the colour of moonlight with green at the tip. "This to protect you from Cresselia's wrath. Should keep my nightmares away from you."

"Thank you Darkrai. Though I doubt my Emily will have any nightmares at this age." Latios said as he took the feather from him.

"Yes, well it's better to be cautious." Darkrai informed Latios. "You know since she met me and all? You know I would never give her one on purpose but I can't control my cursed ability that gives people nightmares."

"Fair point. Thanks, Darkrai." Latios said though Emily was wondering what he meant by that 'ability that gives people nightmares'.

"No problem." Darkrai then petted Emily's head. "Now you be good for Latios okay cutie?"

Emily didn't comment since she soon felt herself being repositioned in Latios' arms.

"Well we better go, It's almost her nap time." Latios then looked down at Emily. "Say bye, bye to Darkrai Emily."

"Um bye and thank you." Emily then said to him, she had to admit he was really nice despite his rather scary appearance. Just went to show her you really can't judge a book by its cover.

"Bye, little one." Darkrai then said before Latios began to fly away.

(Latios)

"Are you okay now Emily?" Latios asked as he flew back to where he left the baby carriage. "Emotionally I mean, I knew Cresselia didn't like kids but I didn't expect her to be so mean to a little hatchling like you."

"I-I'm fine…her words didn't hurt me much." Emily then told him and he was relieved.

When she had started crying it had been like something triggered inside himself. He had felt like punching a hole in the wall. To him it felt like the same kind of feeling he got whenever someone flirted with his sister. Only it had been a little stronger because of how young Emily is.

He still didn't know why she had pulled that sort of stunt, but he did have to punish her for it. How could he expect Emily to learn right from wrong if he let her go unpunished for her actions?

"Well I am glad you're okay…but you are grounded young lady." Latios then told her firmly as he set her down in the baby carriage and made sure to strap her in this time. "For that clever little stunt, you pulled you're grounded for the rest of the day and all day tomorrow."

"Isn't that a bit extreme?" Emily then asked him with a pouting look on her face.

"Considering how worried you made me and what could have happened to you? No I do not think it's extreme." He told her as he pushed the carriage back to his room. He then remembered his sister and knew he should tell her that Emily was safe.

Sister I found Emily. Latios then told Latias telepathically whilst he was still pushing the carriage.

You did?! Oh thank goodness cause I was having no luck at all. Where was she? Latias then asked him.

She unfortunately bumped into Crescent Head. I just got her back from her. Latios then informed his sister using the nickname Emily had given the creator of good dreams. He was honestly surprised he had not thought of the name before her, he has been alive for centuries now.

Crescent Head? Wait do you mean Cresselia?! Latios could hear his sister laughing even though she was far away. It was a twin thing he supposed. How did you come up with that? It's gold!

Actually, I didn't. Emily came up with that name. Latios informed her. He may as well tell the truth otherwise Emily would correct him on that.

Ah, I should have known. Afterall you have almost no sense of humour. Latias then giggled at him in his mind.

That is not true, nor is that joke funny sister. Latios then told her, he was slightly annoyed that his sister thought he couldn't take a joke.

And now you just proved my point. Anyway, catch yah later bro! Latias then told him before she cut off their connection. But it was a good thing she had since he had finally reached his destination.

Once in his room he took Emily out of the baby carriage and set her down in the crib. "Now just so we are clear you are not to leave your crib till the day after tomorrow. That is your punishment."

"Again, isn't that a bit much?" Emily then asked him still pouting.

"Again, no. Now keep in mind that if you try to pull a stunt like that again the same thing will happen." Latios told her in a firm but matter-of-factly tone. "Am I clear young lady?"

"Crystal" Emily then sighed.

"Good, now were you actually interested in the history behind the painting or did you just say that to cause a distraction?" Latios had to know if she had played him like a violin.

"N-no I-I was interested!" Emily then stammered out to him. "Really I was…your painting looked so life-like and had so much love put into it…I do want to hear the story behind it…honest."

Latios was rather astonished by her honesty, no one had praised his work that highly in a long time. And since she couldn't escape this time, he knew she was sincere.

"Well then let me start from the beginning again okay?" Latios asked her and when she nodded he started the story he had been telling her earlier. While she looked interested it didn't take long for her to start yawning.

Why am I sleepy? This isn't even boring. Latios then heard Emily think to herself. Latios then glanced at the clock and saw that it was close to her afternoon nap.

"Must be nap time, with how grown up you sound sometimes it's easy to forget you're only a day old." He said to her before he took her blanket and tucked her in before giving her a nuzzle of affection. "We can continue the story after your nap. Just know I'll be right here if you need me."

Latios then dimmed the lights so it would be easier for her to fall asleep. She seemed to be trying to fight it off but it wasn't long until her body won the battle. He smiled sweetly at her then turned on his desk lamp so he could read quietly while she slept. Besides for her escape attempt he had to admit that it had been a relatively a good day so far.

(Rini)

"No Hotaru, like this." Rini said to her eleven-year-old friend. She then took the paper from her and showed her the right way to solve the logic problem. "See if you make a chart like this you can do a process of elimination. The more you fill out the chart the closer you are to the answer. Get it?"

"Yeah I think I get it now. Thanks, Rini!" The younger girl giggled.

"You're welcome Hotaru." Rini smiled as she ruffled her friend's hair.

Hotaru had been having trouble in math so Rini had offered to tutor her for free. It was the least she could since Hotaru had saved their lives eleven years ago by sacrificing herself and being reborn again. Rini still kind of found it hard to believe the little girl in front of her was really Sailor Saturn. She looked so innocent and sweet with her violet eyes and short dark hair and still wearing her school uniform. But she was the Guardian of Destruction and Rebirth. It was why instead of staying dead she was just reborn as a baby. She had only been five years old at the time but she still remembered the day Hotaru had sacrificed herself as if it was yesterday.

She and the other girls had been at preschool when it had happened. The sky had grown dark and the wind had picked up and descending from the sky had been a being made up of storm clouds. With our parents, nowhere in sight we thought we were done for. Then from out of nowhere Hotaru had swooped in and saved them all. She fought the demon all by herself but she was having trouble keeping us safe and fighting the storm being at the same time. So, she had made a decision, she teleported us somewhere safe and had said…

"Goodbye my sweet Princess…I hope we can still be friends in my next life."

Rini had not understood what she had meant back then, but as she got older and watched the little baby Hotaru grow she understood what Hotaru had done. Hotaru had given her life for theirs.

As Rini looked at Hotaru now though she couldn't help but feel bad that she had to restart her life all over again because of her one attack. This one attack killed not only the monster but the user as well. As another side effect though Hotaru was reborn as a baby.

I wish there was more I could do for Hotaru to pay her back. Rini thought to herself sadly when she heard a knock at her door. Rini looked up and saw her mother Neo Queen Serenity. Or as her friends called her Serena.

"I hope I'm not interrupting but Naru is here Rini." Her mother told her.

"Oh, okay thanks Mom. Hotaru keep working on those problems I'll be right back okay." Rini asked her as she got up. As the younger girl smiled at her Rini wondered if she remembered her past life at all.

"Okay Rini, hurry back I wanna finish this then play!" Hotaru giggled. Her smile was so contagious that Rini couldn't help but smile too as she headed to the door.

Naru was the daughter of Molly and Melvin, they had been her mother's childhood friends before she regained her memories of being the moon princess. So Rini had become friends with her as well.

She wondered why Naru was here though, she knew she tutored Hotaru around this time of day. Rini guessed she would find out soon enough when she opened the door.

Naru had red hair that was a brighter shade than her mother's. Her eyes were a light sky blue. She wore glasses and a lilac coloured ribbon in her hair. Her hair was also signifgantly longer than her mother's and she shad curled it. She was still wearing her school uniform and she had a pile of books in her arms. If Rini remembered correctly she was kind of a shy bookworm with a love of dragon fantasy novels.

"Hey Naru, what brings you by here?" Rini greeted her as she opened the door to the castle.

"O-oh I was just stopping by here on my way to Emily's." Naru then showed her some papers with assignments on them. "W-we're in the same art class together…I was going to give these to her mom to give to her…wh-when she you know returns…"

They didn't talk about how worried they were that when they did find Emily how she might not be alive anymore. She and the others wanted to hope for the best not the worst… no matter how hard it was.

"I-I was wondering i-if you had heard if there was any progress on her case." Naru then told Rini "You know since you two were so close."

Rini sighed before answering her. "No there still isn't any word on her case I'm afraid. I heard Mina talking to my mom earlier apparently the police think she's a runaway instead of being kidnapped."

"But they're wrong!" Naru then said in a tone that surprised her. "I-I know I don't know her as well as you do, but I know she isn't the type of person to run away when things get hard…. honestly, I-I wish I could be more like her and the dragons in my book. I'm always so shy… but for them to say she's a runaway instead of looking for her… they really are useless compared to the Sailor Guardians."

Rini had never heard Naru speak this way before but she was glad her friend shared her feelings.

"You're right Emily is not that kind of person." Rini told her. "She's strong too strong to just give up without a fight. So I believe she is still out there and that she's fighting to live and get back home."

"I think so too Rini. Say would you mind letting me know if there is any progress on where she is… I'm rather worried and I know our art teacher is as well." Naru then asked as she clung to her books a little more tightly.

"Yeah I can do that for you." Rini told her before putting a hand on her shoulder. "I'm sure Emily is okay. Don't worry."

"Thanks Rini, but I better get going to Emily's b-before my mom wonders w-where I am." Naru said before turning around to leave waving goodbye to Rini.

As Rini waved goodbye and headed back to her room to help Hotaru again, her thoughts went to Emily again. While she wanted to believe her friend was okay at the same time she had been missing for five whole days. Her brain told her that if the Dark Nebula had her and was responsible she was either dead by now or they were trying to brainwash her and would be under their control before long.

Rini hoped neither option was true, and until she got proof that is all she could do. Hope and pray that her friend was okay…. wherever she was.

TO BE CONTINUED…

And we are finally done the second chapter! Sorry this took so long there were some technical difficulties otherwise I would have gotten this done earlier this week.

But no matter got it done before my birthday.

Now I know you all may think I hate Cresselia because of this chapter but really I don't. Like many of you I love Cresselia's design and her purpose among the legendaries. I just don't like stereotypes. Many see Cresselia as probably a sweet and caring pokemon because she stops Darkrai's nightmares and creates pleasant dreams. While she could be, I wanted to give her an egotistic, narcissistic and rather two faced personality.

And I also hoped you liked the introduction of Naru Umino. Now I know that Naru is her mother's Japanese name but I kind of prefer their English names. Molly and Melvin just because in the 90's their relationship was so cute. And yes, Umino is Umino's last name. It is just common to refer to some by their last name for some reason in Japan.

Sorry there were no epic battles in this chapter but can't have them in every chapter.

Anyway I hope you enjoyed and will stay tuned for the next chapter.
