Accidentally in Love

Note: This is my own original chapter

(Theme song - Pokemon Journeys: The Series (Season 23) - English Dub Opening)

(Abigail's POV)

It's been a week since Tommy Turtle passed away. Everyone was taking it pretty hard. Especially Sonic & Sally. I was sad too, even if I hadn't known Tommy as long as everyone else. In honor of his bravery & sacrifice, the King & the Council of Acorn decided to rename the Hospital "The Tommy Turtle Memorial Hospital". They also immediately made plans to demolish the Nanite City. They put Rotor & Uncle Chuck in charge of the deconstruction. Surprisingly, Eggman has left them alone during the deconstruction. He probably doesn't want any reminders of failures around. "Today Lacey, Huck, & I were hanging out at Uncle Chuck's Diner. I've been so busy with the Freedom Fighters these past few weeks, it feels like we haven't seen each other in forever. We were just sitting at our table eating & Lacey was telling me about everything I've been missing at school when the Chaotix walked in*

Abigail: Hey, guys! Over here!

Huck: Chao!

Lacey:*whispering* No! No! No! Please don't call them over here!

*She started shaking her head & waving her hands at me. Huck & I just looked at her confused as the Chaotix walked over*

Knuckles: Hey, Abby. What's up?

Abigail: Oh, nothing much. Just hanging out.

Huck: Chao.

*Mighty was about to say something, but then his eyes met with Lacey's & they both looked away, blushing. And this wasn't a blush you get when you see your crush. This was an embarrassed blush.

Julie-Su: What's with you two?

*Lacey immediately stood up from her chair*

Lacey: I just remembered! I have to . . . Run an errand for my Mom! *she picked up her purse & ran towards the door* See you later, Abby!

Mighty: I just remembered I have to do something too, later guys!

*He then ran out the door too. The Chaotix, Huck & I all looked at each other & shrugged*

*Later that day, Lacey had called me, all the girls (except Fiona), & Huck to her house. We were all sitting in her room*

Lacey: Ok. I've called you all here because I'm in major need of advice. Uh . . . How should I put this? Mighty and I, we sort of . . . Kind of . . . Kissed.

All: WHAT!?

Huck: CHAO!

Julie-Su: I knew something was up with you two!

Abigail: How did this happen?

Huck: Chao-Chao?

Lacey: Well . . .

(Flashback - Lacey's POV)

It was three days ago. I had slept through my alarm & was running down the street, trying to get to school on time*

Lacey: Oh gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! If I don't hurry, I'll just know I'll get detention again! *I stopped at the entrance to an alley* Maybe if I take a short-cut, I'll still make it with time to spare.

*I went into the alley. But just as I turned a corner, I crashed into someone. I opened my eyes to find myself laying on top of Mighty & we were actually kissing. We both scrambled to get off of each other, our faces a blushing mess*

Mighty: Lacey! I - I . . .

(Present Time - Abigail's POV)

Lacey: I didn't answer him. I just quickly picked up the things I had dropped and ran away as fast as I could without looking back.

Sally: Did you make it to school on time?

Lacey: No. I got a week's detention. But you know the crazy part?

Abigail: Other than kissing a guy you've known less than a year?

Huck: Chao-Chao.

Lacey: The kiss was beyond incredible. Best kiss ever.

Amy: Wait? Mighty? World's greatest kisser? Didn't see that coming.

Lacey: I know right. But that kiss. It was so . . . So . . . Impossible to describe.

(Third-person POV)

*Meanwhile, at Freedom HQ, the boys were also having a meeting*

Vector: No way!

Rotor: A perfect kiss with Lacey?

Might: I know! But I don't know if I could never risk dating her, right?

Sonic: Why not? she's a nice girl.

Charmy:*licking his lips* And she always smells like vanilla and marshmallows.

Mighty: Plus I've never had a girlfriend before.

Knuckles: True.

Mighty: I've never even thought about Lacey in that way before either. She is pretty great.

Espio: Love works in mysterious ways.

Mighty: What should I do?

*Sonic walked up to him & wrapped an arm around his shoulder*

Sonic: Well, why don't you find out if you both feel the same way?

Mighty: How?

Sonic: Well, for starters . . .

(Lacey's POV)

*I was walking through the New Mobitropolis market, holding several shopping bags. Usually shopping helps me clear my head, but it didn't this time. I just couldn't get that kiss & the way it made me feel out of my mind. Does that mean I like Mighty? And if I do, does he feel the same way*

Might:*off-screen* Lacey! Wait up!

*I turned around & saw Mighty running towards me.

Lacey: Mighty? *he caught up to me & panted. he looked out of breath* Is something wrong?

Mighty: I need to ask you something, but not here.

*He took my hand & led me a secluded part of the park*

Lacey: So . . . What do you want to ask me?

Mighty: Okay. I know this is sudden, but . . . I will you go on a date with me?

*My face turned completely red*

Lacey: What?

Mighty: I've been thinking, and I thought that maybe we could give it a try and find out how we both feel. How does that sound?

*I was quiet for a few minutes, but then smiled at him*

Lacey: I think that sounds like a good idea.

Mighty: You do?

Lacey: Of course. So, when do you want to go out?

Might: I was thinking tomorrow night.

Lacey: Okay. Tomorrow night.

*The next night, I was sitting in the living room of my house, waiting for Mighty to come pick me up. He told me we weren't going anywhere fancy, so I was wearing a pink check dress with a white scalloped collar, pale pink puff sleeves, a brown belt, & frill lining around the bottom. I was also wearing a pair of pink heels with lilac bows on the toes & holding a pink handbag with a gold heart on the front. Just then, I heard a knock at the door. I jumped from the couch & ran to the front door. My annoying little brothers were also heading towards the door*

Johnny, Benny, & Travis: We'll get it! We'll get it!

*I blocked them*

Lacey: Don't even think about it, Tweebs! *I opened the door & saw Mighty standing on the other side* Hi, Mighty.

Mighty: Hey, Lacey. You look great.

Lacey: Thanks.

Peter:*off-screen* Ahem!

*I turned around & saw my Daddy standing behind me. He was giving Mighty a stern look. Mother then came out of the kitchen wearing her favorite apron & wiping her hands on a towel. Daddy then marched up to Mighty & got in his face*

Peter: Let's get a few things clear right up front, young man.

Lacey: Daddy! You're scaring him!

Mighty: It's okay, Lacey. And you read my mind, sir. Lacey told me her curfew is at 9:30, except on special occasions. But I'd feel better if we stuck with 9:30.

*Daddy stood there, completely speechless*

Jane: Well, I'd say this young man knows what he's doing. *I then took Mighty's hand & led him away from the house* You two have fun now.

Lacey: We will. See you later.

*As we neared our destination, Mighty covered my eyes*

Lacey:*giggles* Mighty, where are we going?

Mighty: You'll see soon*

*As we walked, I could hear sand crunching underneath my shoes. He then uncovered my eyes & I gasped. A picnic had been layed out. Lite by candlelight.

Lacey: No one's ever done anything like this for me in my whole life.

Mighty: Really?

Lacey: Yes.

Mighty: Well then, *he took my hand* right this way, mademoiselle

Lacey: What a gentleman. *he led me over to the picnic & we say down. he then took a big strawberry parfait out of a cooler* My favorite. How did you know?

Mighty: Well, a guy like me knows these things. *I gave I'm a sly smile* That and I asked Abby. *he then reached into a basket & pulled out a chili dog. As we finished eating, Mighty stood up & pulled out a piece of paper**blushes* This is a poem I wrote to express how I feel about you.

*Suddenly, a gust of wind blew the paper out of his hand. Might jumped to grab it. He caught it, but lost his balance & fell into the water*

SPLASH!

*I giggled as Mighty sat in the water with a piece of seaweed on his head & the paper was wet with the words all washed out*

Mighty:*sigh* Well, this has been a disaster.

Lacey: No. *I bent down and picked the seaweed off his head* I think it's cute.

Mighty: Really?

Lacey: Really. *I helped him stand up* And . . . I think I might be falling for you.

*Mighty's eyes went wide*

Mighty: Me too. *he blushed* I mean for you! Not me, cause that would be really weird! What I meant to say was -

*I giggled again & put a finger to his lips*

Lacey: I know what you meant.

*We both smiled at each other, hugged, & kissed. For real this time*

(Third-Person POV)

*The next day, the Chaotix were in the Great Forest training. Mighty was sitting on a stump & let out a happy sigh*

Charmy: What's with him?

Vector: Dude thinks he's in love.

Mighty: Guys, you do not know happiness until you've had a date like I had last night. It was . . . Heaven.

Julie-Su: So, I take it the date went well.

Mighty: Oh yeah. In fact, we plans to meet later.

*Most of the boys gathered around him with smirks*

Vector: Does this means what I think it means?

Mighty: If your thinking that we're officially a couple, then no it doesn't. Guys, we've only been on one date.

Saffron: But you guys still have another date planned, so that's a good sign.

Lacey:*off-screen* Oh, Hunny Bunny! *they all turned & saw Lacey coming towards them, carrying a bag of take-out from Uncle Chuck's**on-screen* I brought you some lunch!

*Mighty got up & walked to her*

Mighty: Thanks, Cupcake. How about we got to the park and I'll get you some ice cream?

Lacey: That sounds great.

*As they walked back to New Mobitropolis, the rest of the Chaotix looked after them, confused*

Julie-Su: Hunny Bunny?

Knuckles: Cupcake?

Ray: Yuck!
