Chapter 425: Sharp Siblings Saturday.

(Sharp Residence.)

The day has come, the day the two siblings of the Sharp bloodline get to hang out and care little about school. Was that mean of me to say? I don't know.

Sam comes out of the house along with her little brother Simon. "We'll back later in the day dad" replied Sam.

"Alright you two, just don't do anything stupid or get into any trouble" replied Peter. "Also, keep an eye on your brother and make sure he's safe, sound and away from any heavy duty traffic."

Sam sighs. "Dad, we're not near any long ranged high ways or any fly overs and we'll be safe. I'll keep a close eye on him, and we're just going to some fun places around town. We're not going out of town."

Peter sighs and he hugs Sam and Simon. "Okay, okay. I just worry about you being back home, it's been more than a week and I'm just so glad you're back home kiddo."

Simon smiles. "I know dad and we'll be back home soon. This is just gonna be our one time together as siblings, kinda like how Lincoln and Luna have theirs."

They then take they're leave and hop into Sam's blue pickup truck with her Pokemon Pikachu. Peter watches them leave and sighs. Then his other kids go towards him.

"Dad, they're fine" said Adagio. "Sam will keep an eye on him and she has powers to keep him safe, they're phones are on tracker mode and we know you also rigged some FutureTech tracking systems in Sam's truck."

Peter chuckles. "Sorry, I just don't want Simon to get hurt. He's back, my flesh and blood kid is back and he's here and he's spending time with us and going to school and sees all of us as awesome family members."

"Yeah, he also does some cool tricks on his bike. I got me an awesome big bro figure in him, an even better big bro than Brad could ever be" said Kick. "Even though he doesn't go too extreme as I do, he's very supportive and very calm."

"He's really nice when he goes around and wants to help us with some things" said Aria. "He really does know how to setup some musical things when we need some help, and he really likes to chill with us and listen to the songs we have."

"He's in the Track Team, Tech Club, Gamer's Club, Cycler's Club and The Royal Woods Middle School Dodge Ball team "the Hyper Hydreigon's!" He's really wanting to join so many new things, but there seems to be a pattern in some of the clubs he's joined" said Sonata.

"You mean to the fact most of these clubs has Stella Gonzales in them?" said Peter. "If so then I also see the pattern, I think Simon may have a liking for a certain resident Filipina in the town, the only issue I that he's way too nervous and shy to talk to her. I think he might faint if she kisses him."

They all chuckle. "Now that we wanna see!" said the Dazzles.

Then Kick looks around. "Where the heck is Ember and Aggie?"

(Backyard.)

Ember McLain and her adopted child Aggie are both underneath the tree and she listens to her mommy's soothing tunes, while Aggie's Misdreavus watches over them from above in the tree.

Aggie then looks to her mom and she can feel her emotions are not good. "Mommy, I know tomorrow is the day….. The day when it all began and changed your life forever. Are you okay with going back to where it all began?"

Ember sighs and she places her guitar down and pulls her daughter close to her. "I have to. It's been five years since I was back to where I used to live, the place where I once lived my life and I wanna find some closure. Kinda like how Peter and Sam always went to visit the grave of the woman who was in their life, I need to reconcile and look back to the memories of my past. It's gonna be painful sure, but I'll manage."

Aggie then hugs her mom. "The others will understand mommy, they know that tomorrow is a very important day and they'll keep away from it so you can find your own peace and I'll also keep clear as well."

Ember kisses Aggie's forehead. "Actually, I think I'd like you to come with me. I want someone close to me for when I break down and regain some unwanted memories of some bad things when we go back to Amity Park."

Aggie feels concerned about this. "Are you sure mommy?"

Ember nods. "I'm sure, and I made a call to McKenzie and he said he'll send me some forces to keep track of any ghosts that come near me. Mostly for Skullker or those cop ghosts and that damn warden. The patrols won't go near where we'll be, but they will send out long range scanners and patrols to keep an ever watchful of the place and I even got some help from my friends back in the Ghost Zone and from that Phantom kid."

Aggie also sees this is necessary. "Okay, I'll come with you. I don't want you to be interrupted when you see the place where it changed your life forever and I wanna make sure you're okay mommy."

Ember hugs her daughter and they stay in this moment for a while with the peace and silence in the air. 'Tomorrow, tomorrow is the day when I died, but in truth it's the day I was born again as something else and that something may have made mistakes, but now those mistakes have led me to see a new vision into life and the meaning of true love.'

Peter and the others see this from the kitchen window and sigh. "So, tomorrow is Ember's birthday?" asked Kick.

"Not her birthday kiddo, her death day" replied Peter. "But she also calls it her birthday to the fact she was brought back from what was her demise. I know all about it, and we shouldn't intervene, but we will do our part to make sure that she and Aggie are safe when they head for Amity Park. McKenzie told me about it."

"Then we'll all be there for them" said Adagio. "We're all family, does Simon and Sam know?"

"They do, but not the part where Ember is bringing Aggie with her. We're gonna need to inform them when they get back" replied Peter.

"Let's hope they're having fun with their Saturday" replied Kick.

(Gus' Games n' Grub.)

Sam parks her truck and they both come out and look to the place. "Well, this is it. My first time to be here in a place like this, I have heard of arcades and how fun they are, but I have never been in one. We were always farm folk back then, farm folk with some city knowledge."

Sam looks to Simon confused. "Simon, you have friends at school. Don't you hang out with them at places like this when classes are over?"

Simon sighs. "Sorry sis, I'm still getting used to having friends and would rather head on home to be with you guys. I still have to try and learn how to hang out with kids like me. Even though I'm in good terms with Lincoln, Linka and Jordan, and to Aggie of course."

Sam places a hand on his shoulder. "I understand little bro, I know it's hard for you to adapt to everything new around here now that you've been back for more than a week, and we're all glad you're back and the family and myself will do whatever we can to help you adapt to everything, and this is a good start."

Simon nods. "Well then, let's do this." they both go into the arcade and Simon takes in the sights of the place. "Wow! Look at this place."

He sees all the games, all of them are different and some he's never seen before. He then sniffs the air. "This place smells kinda nice, I smell so much pizza and garlic sticks. This place looks to cool!"

Sam chuckles. "Welcome to Gus' Games n' Grub arcade little brother, now come on, let's get to some games and still see if you're as good as your big sis."

"Then let's see if we can compete for who buys lunch." They see Lincoln, Jordan and Linka as well as Clyde, Chloe, Artie, Lance and Trent. "Glad to see you here Simon, and Sam. You two doing your Saturday bonding thing?"

"We are and this is okay with you guys being here, we could use some friendly faces to play against" said Sam. She looks to Simon. "If it's okay with you bro."

Simon smiles. "Yeah, I'd like that." They then get to some games and start playing whatever game Simon wants to try, they know he wishes to make hang out time with friends and they wanna help him.

(Hours later.)

After playing so many different games around the arcade, they're amazed at how good he is. He's not first place and hasn't beaten all the scores from Lincoln, Jordan and Timmy. But he is pretty impressive and skilled with what he does, he can beat the others, but he has a hard time trying to beat the top scores in the arcade.

"Dude, how the heck are you good at this?" asked Artie. "You're better than me at the games."

Simon chuckles as they all get to their seats, they already made the order for pizza. "Well, I know it's been such a long, long time since I was in the world of the living. But back then, Sam and I played video games in our shared room and we were pretty good at it. Also, these arcade games don't seem like challenger, now computer games are a challenge to me. I have never played those ones before when I was little, but I know Sam will help me out or she'll be there to back me up."

Lincoln chuckles. "Looks like someone looks up to his big sis, kinda like Luna and myself."

Linka also smirks. "Look at that, Lincoln and Simon are the same and might as well bond as friends with so much in common. Well, some things in common."

Sam smiles. "Whenever I was around, Simon would tend to follow me. He'd ask me something's he's curious about and would always look to me for safety, or to mom or dad."

Simon chuckles. "Well, I was kinda shy and nervous when we were someplace else, and I wanted to have some company and the one person I found company in was always my awesome rockin' big sis."

Then their food comes and they look to the all-meat special pizza with cheesed stuffed crusts. "Whoa!"

They all take a slice and eat their lunch. Simon of course tries his pizza slice. "Wow! I never really had stuffed crust pizza before, this tastes so awesome!"

Sam chuckles. "Glad you love it, so what else are you other kids up to today?"

Lincoln and Jordan then finish eating and so does Linka. "Well, we're going to head to another world after this. We're gonna meet up with some other friends of ours and the gift we've given them" replied Linka. "Gonna be kinda awkward when we get there."

"Whatever business you guys got, we won't ask" said Chloe. "But we do wanna know, when are you guys gonna be doing some gaming contests for the school, as well as the dodge ball team and the talent show."

"That part is gonna be for next time" replied Jordan. "We're gonna be participating for auditions on Wednesday and we'll all be locked, stocked and loaded to show what we can do when the actual talent show starts."

"Many of our pals are gonna wanna be a part of the talent show" said Trent. "I gotta do some practicing with Kat later after this, otherwise she'll kill me." They all chuckle at that one, because it's true.

Then Clyde looks to Simon. "You planning on competing into the talent show Simon?"

Simon chuckles. "No, not for me. I don't think I'm ready to be part of something where there's gonna be lots of people. I have a long way to go into adapting to the changes into the world, not really the same the last time when I was still living."

"Don't be stressed out to much man, you'll get used to everything and then you'll be able to hang out and make more friends than just us, like the Faunus folks" said Lance.

Simon smiles. "Yeah, I guess you're right. Thanks for being my friends guys, and the same goes to the others as well."

They all smile, knowing they're doing an awesome job as being there for the new kid who came back from the other side. They wish to do more to help Simon so he can be able to get used to everything around him.

(Ketcham Park.)

Sam then walks with Simon through the park and they watch as everyone there is happy and talking to themselves, heck they even see some members of the Royal Defenders.

Boomer and Samantha talking to each other from the picnic benches, the twins being watched over by Luan, Michelle Lewis with Gwen and Loona and they're children Lily, Fenrir and Felicia.

Leni and Loni enjoying a picnic near the pond, Timmy and some Faunus kids tossing around a Frisbee, Johnny Test and Dukey going around with their skateboards and

But what was odd, they see Neil, Gyro and Mayor Davis walking down another pathway and talking to, Hierarch Artanis?! Wait what?! What the heck is the leader of the Daelam doing there in Royal Woods?

Sam and Simon continue they're walk and enjoy the sights and sounds of joy in the air. Then Simon asks. "Hey sis, you ever wonder what the heck is the reason why I'm even back here?"

Sam is shocked he would say that, but she understands why Simon would question that. "Come on little bro." They go over and sit underneath the shade of a tree.

"Look, I know things are looking like a normal day to day basis with you being around, and I get that you're still caught up with whatever Imperius said and all. But even though you don't know the true reason why you're here, then don't let it bother you. What matters is that you're here kicking it and breathing and back in the family, the new family with dad and me and I wouldn't be any happier with you back in my life little bro." Sam then hugs Simon. Pikachu also joins in the hug.

Simon smiles hearing that and feels like shedding a tear and hugs her back. "Thank you Sammy, I needed that. I've been having too many doubts with my return and my reason to not being where mom is, but I guess I should learn to accept things and just see the bright side of life now."

They both stay like this, then Sam sees something. They break the hug. "Simon, I'm gonna go and get us some ice cream, you think you can stay here for a while?"

Simon smiles. "Yeah, I'm cool being here. I won't leave anytime soon sis."

Sam smiles and she kisses his forehead and she heads off to the ice cream vendor leaving her Pokemon with Simon. As she goes over and buys some ice cream, she looks back and sees that Simon is gone! This sends panic into her, but then she is shocked to see Simon is sitting by the picnic benches and talking to someone.

Simon is talking to Stella, one of Lincoln's friends and the one girl that Simon seems to be nervous about. Sam smirks. 'Looks like little bro is now talking to the one girl he has trouble getting along with, this is so cute.'

She then buys the frozen treats and goes back to Simon, Stella and Pikachu, and she sees Stella brought with her Heracross. "Hey guys, looks like you got some ice cream with ya Stella."

"Yeah, I was here in the park before you guys just going through some things that I'm planning to build alongside the Tech club" replied Stella. "And so I decided to take a nice and much needed break, Simon told me all about you two having fun and some sibling bonding time."

Sam looks to Simon. "Oh did he now?" Simon turns red and looks away. "Well, it's nice to have some extra company to be with us." Sam hands Simon a chocolate ice cream and a cherry ice pop to her Pikachu and Sam herself has a plain vanilla on a wafer cone.

"Thanks, also Simon and I were talking about the upcoming track race this October and the one week stay we're all gonna have at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Camping grounds" said Stella.

Sam then sees Simon a bit worried. "Simon, I can tell you're nervous about going to the place for one week, but you don't have to worry bro. You got friends with ya."

Simon then calms down. "Yeah, yeah I know. It's a good next step to spending more time with friends and maybe even bond with some of them." He looks away blushing.

Sam knows why, Stella giggles. "You really do look kinda cute when you're nervous." She then realizes what she says and also turns bright red. "Oh, um sorry. I was just…. Trying to be nice."

Simon chuckles nervously and so does Stella. Sam smiles seeing this, she can see a pattern in this. 'Looks like Simon likes Stella and I think Stella might like him. This cuteness just turned to adorable!' Even Pikachu and Heracross thought this was kinda nice.

(Later.)

Simon and Sam are now driving home in her truck, Sam looks to Simon. "You okay bro?"

Simon then sighs. "I wanna confess, and I think you and some of the others already know."

Sam smiles. "You mean that you like Stella? Because I think she likes you little bro."

Simon turns red. "What? I mean, how do you know that?"

Sam chuckles. "Simon, I saw how nervous she was around you when she said you were kinda cute being nervous and then she turned red and you both had this nervous chuckle, so it's obvious she likes you too and I think it's a good thing. Perhaps you both can share how you feel, when the time is right of course."

Simon sighs and looks out the window with a smile. "Yeah, I think I should tell her, but I don't know how. How the heck do I get some alone time with Stella and tell her how I feel?"

Sam smiles hearing this. 'Looks like my bro needs some love advice.' They then see the house not too far. "Well, you could ask her to hang out with you after school time, and maybe play some games, chat and then when the time is right, and no one else is hearing everything you guys are saying. Tell her how you feel, tell her how much she seems like a nice girl and perhaps even one day try and see it al through."

Simon thinks about this. "Yeah, yeah I think that sounds like an awesome idea. Thanks for the advice sis, normally I was going to go and ask Lincoln or Jordan for advice, but you seem to know better."

Sam chuckles. "Well, truth be told, Linc and Jordan would also have the same advice as I do. When it comes to couples, only they know what to do when someone needs some help with asking someone you like a lot."

Simon then looks to their house which is coming closer. "Sam, thanks for spending time with me today. This means so much to be with my best rockin' sis."

"No prob bro" said Sam. "We could have another one for next time. Heck, I could bring you someplace awesome next Saturday."

"That sounds good sis" replied Simon. They then calm down and make it back home, as they get out of the truck and they look through the living room window and spot Ember and Aggie enjoying some TV together.

They both know that tomorrow, tomorrow is the day when Ember goes back home and recalls everything that has ever happened to her, the day that changed her life and the day she became who she is now. A ghost and family member and future mother to the Sharp's name.

They have a lot to do, and so do their friends who also know.

But then something was on Sam's mind as she and Simon get back into the house. 'What the heck was the Protoss Leader doing here in Royal Woods? And talking to Mayor Davis?' She knows something's up, and whatever it is might be some change and possibly a new race added to the community of they're nice little town of Royal Woods.
