Shaunna was excited to finally head back home after what seemed to her as forever in school. A lot has happened and it all seemed so confusing to her. But now she's glad to finally be able to get out of what she believes is a hellhole and go back home with her friends. Clothes were packed and she was beaming at her friends who were ready to hop on a pokemon and fly home. They all chatted how exciting it was to finally be heading home and what they want for Christmas. After awhile they all got out their pokemon that'll fly them home and got on them. It was cold up in the sky, but they all got used to it after some time. Shanunna looked at Calm and blushed a bit as he saw his black hair go against the wind. What made her blush is his the nice look he had looking ahead of him. She always liked how sweet and heroic he was. Even though he could be a bit dense at times, that didn't matter to her. Shaunna doesn't understand why she can't just tell him that she likes him. She's by no means shy at all, but every time she tries it always fails. Looking at him, she remembered that one night the both of them were in that mansion, watching the fireworks together. Then a disgusting noise and and awful smell brought her back to the present.
"Trevor!" Tierno shouted.
Trevor sighed while covering his noise. "That was you... You couldn't go to the back and do that?"
Tierno laughed. "Who could hold it for that long?"
They all groaned at his comment.

Dawn looked at Bonnie and Clemont with a sad look. The siblings still weren't really in good terms, but she was glad to meet the both of them. She had a nice time hanging out and getting to know them.
"Well, I hope you two have a good Christmas," Dawn said.
"I do hope you have a good one too, Dawn," Clemont said.
"I well. And you'll keep in touch, right Dawn?" Bonnie asked.
"Of course I will! Well, goodbye!"
"Bye! Can't wait to see you again!" Bonnie said.
"Safe travels!" Clemont said.
A blush appeared on his face as he watched her. He like the energy she gives, as it was similar to Ash's and gave him more courage. But she also made him feel comfortable as well. Bonnie giggled as she saw her brothers red face.
Clemont jumped and backed up with his hand in front of him. "I-Its not like that!"
Bonnie grinned at him and said, "ah-huh..."
Clemont sight as he looked away. "Anyways... Bonnie, I want to apologize. I like hanging out with my sister and I know you helped me meet Dawn... so can you forgive me?
She thought about it for a tiny bit. "You know, I shouldn't have been so mean to you ether. So I'm sorry to for being such a brat."
Clemont smiled at her. "Apology accepted! Now lets go home!"

Leaf saw Red hop on his Charizard with an uneasy look.
"You... are going to go back to Pallet town, right?" Leaf asked.
Red looked at her for a bit before looking away, not saying a word.
"Your mom... has been wanting to see you."
"... I guess for a day, I could drop by... on Chrismas day."
Leaf gave him a sad look as she looked down. "Okay... See you then."
Blue flew by her and said, "we shouldn't be surprised. After all, he left us without saying a word."
Leaf nodded and said, "right."
"He doesn't care about us, so no need to care about him." After he said that, Blue flew off.
Leaf turned to Red, but he just wouldn't look back at her.
"Red I... would like to see you back home... for the whole break." After that, she got out her Pidgot and left.

Bianca sighed as she got on her pokemon. After the whiteboard incident, she's been getting in trouble with her teacher left and right. She tried to think of who could be doing this but no one came to mind. But right now isn't the time to worry about that now. They're all heading home, so that person won't be able to bother her anymore. Besides, whoever was doing it would probably have forgotten all about her when they get back. She looked at Cheren with a blush as they flew through the sky. Then she turned to her other friends, Hilda and Hilbert. She doesn't know what she'd do if it weren't for them. then she noticed something going between Hilda and Hilbert.

Hilbert watched as Hilda's long brown hair flew through the wind and sighed. Not only did he think that she's beautiful, but also tough and smart. It's no surprise he thought that way ether, as she's the only one he battles and doesn't know if he's going to win or not. Remembering the time they took down team Plasma together just made him beam. But he wondered, with how popular with the guys she is, was there anyway that she'd notice him.
Bianca noticing the gaze Hilbert gave Hilda made her wonder what was up with him. So she flew up besides him and shouted, "hey Hilbert!"
Hilbert was still admiring Hilda and was off guard when he heard her voice. It caused him to jump, and the sudden uneasiness of him cause his pokemon to freak out and accidentally hit Bianca.
Once Hilbert heard a scream, he tried to calm down his pokemon, but something really got him off balance and they rammed right into a tree.

When Bianca flew off her pokemon, she thought it was the end of her life. But then he heard Cheren's voice, and when she opened her eyes, he was staring at his. She was so stunned she didn't know what to say.
"...Are you okay?" Cheren asked.
"Y-yeah... Just what happened?"
Cheren gave her an irritated look. "That's what I would like to know."
Bianca blushed and looked away with a pout. "I didn't mean... Anyways, what happened Hilda and Hilbert?"
"...Let's go find them." Cheren let her down from the bridal style he was holding her in.
Bianca paused from realizing this whole time he was holding her like that, and get deep red.
Cheren glared at Bianca as he got back on his pokemon. "Think you can fly correctly this time?"
Bianca clenched his fist and frowned. She then just turned away from him with a "humpf." But then she saw the pokemon she was riding on, and it got injured pretty badly from the fall.
Cheren got right in front of her and held out a pokeball. "I guessed you wouldn't have prepared for these situations where the pokemon you brought to fly you home wouldn't be able to. You can borrow mine, as long as you're more careful with her."
She glared at him. "I will." Then took the pokeball out of his hand.

When Hilbert awoke, he all he could see was the sky, and what really caught his attention was Hilda looking at him with a worried look.
"...Am I heaven?"
Hilda crossed his arms with tears in her eyes. "No!" Then she turned away from him with small blush and quietly said, "thank goodness you're not...for now."
Hilbert slowly sat up and stared at her with a frown. She's known her for a long time, and never seen her get emotional like this. Even when they where going up against team Plasma, she was always calm and collected.
"I'm... sorry I worried you," Hilbert said. "Did you save me?"
"Me and my pokemon, yes."
"Thank you, Hilda. I should know by now that I can count on you for anything." He gave out a small laugh.
Hilda looked at him with a teasing smile and said, "yeah, you should."
Hibert then faced away from her with a frown. "Though... can you say you can count on me for anything?"
Then she quickly changed into a serious expression. "But really, what caused the fall?"
Hilbert looked away from her and started playing with some grass. "Well... I was being stupid and not paying attention, to make the long story short."
Hilda sighed as Hilbert gave out a nervous laugh.
Then they heard a familiar voice shout, "oh my gosh! Hilbert, I'm so sorry!"
Both the brunettes looked toward the sky and saw Cheren and the one who shouted, Bianca.
"What are you apologizing for? It's not your fault Bianca," Hilbert said.
"Yes it is! If I didn't startle you and your pokemon, none of this would've happened!"
Hilda couldn't help but giggle, as Cheren face-palmed.
"Bianca scares you, Hilbert?" Hilda said.
Hilbert blushed in embarrassment and said, "no no, it's not like that."
"Oh just looked how banged up you are! I am really sorry..." Bianca said.
Hilbert looked down and noticed his torn up shirt, scratches, and bandages he all had that Hilda put on. "Hey, it may look bad, but I'm fine." Though as he tried to stand up, pain from all over his body from hitting the tree came and he slid back down from the pain.
Hilda crossed her arms. "Right. Come on, I'll help you on my pokemon and you can ride with me."
"Alright..."

Bianca focused on getting home with a sigh. She knows she's not the brightest crayon in the box, but Cheren makes her feel like a complete moron. It confuses her why a close friend like him would make her feel that way. Then she noticed Cheren was beside her, but paid no attention to him.
"...Is there something wrong?" Cheren asked.
Bianca didn't look at him and said sarcastically, "no, nothing. Sorry I'm such a burden to you."
"Burden? Have I made you feel that way?"
Bianca turned away from him with tears rolling down her face, and didn't say a thing.
Cheren couldn't stand seeing Bianca so upset and he needed to comfort her. He hopped off his pokemon and on to the one Bianca was riding and returned the other one. Then he gently wrapped his arms around Bianca's shoulders and said, "I'm sorry... I never intended to make you feel that way."
"T-then why... where you so mean to me earlier? When we where going to look for Hilbert and Hilda?"
"... I always knew you're capable of anything you wanted to do," he whispered.
Bianca gave him a confused look. "What?"
"But I still couldn't help... but worry about, when things do go wrong, like what happened today, and I wouldn't be there..."
She gave a sad look, just thinking about it. It would've meant ether her or Hilbert wouldn't be going home right now.
"So... I just sometimes wish you think thinks through when doing something, because I don't want to see something bad to happen to you." Cheren held Bianca close and gently rested his head on Bianca's shoulder unconsciously while seeing her falling down to the ground screaming. "I don't find you a burden though."
She tilted her head to look at him with a curious look. "You don't?"
"I don't. You've helped me find... joy in life." Cheren looked away from her with a blush.
Bianca looked down and away. "... Joy? How?"
"Just... how cheerful and sweet you are..." he narrowed his eyes and said in low tone, "thinking of you... makes me happy."
Bianca got bright red and both of them were silent for awhile.
"Well, I'll...try think things through. " Bianca said.
"Thanks, Bianca. And can you do me one more thing?"
"Sure! What is it?"
Cheren let out his other flying pokemon. "Don't tell anyone, that's including Hilda and Hilbert, about what I just told you." Then he hopped on the other pokemon. "Okay?"
Bianca stared at him a bit with a confused look. "Alright." She then look forward and sighed. "But... what's the big deal?" she muttered to herself.
