CHAPTER 3: Happiness and doubts
It was the most beautiful day that Oshawott and Snivy had lived, who from that moment they were mates. They were happy. The grass snake was smiling, and her friend Deerling appeared to say hello with much happiness.
"Hello, Snivy! What a good day to play! don't you think?"
She saw that the snake didn't answer. She was seen with a smile in her face. It was strange seeing her suddenly smile. The princess was thinking on something.
"Snivy?" Deerling asked.
The grass type continued trapped in her thoughts.
"Snivy, is something wrong?"
There it was where Snivy woke up and listened to her friend.
"Is there a problem, Snivy? I see you very absent-minded."
The deer didn't know that her friend was day-dreaming about Oshawott, she thought a lot about him and everything around her stopped existing. She thought: was a good idea to talk of her romance with her friend Deerling?
"Oh, it's nothing." Snivy answered, "Sometimes I think about some things too much."
"About what?"
"Well… uh… it's better if I don't tell you, those are personal things."
"Seriously? Is that so secret?"
"Yeah, let's play in some play in the meantime, okay?"
"Listen, Snivy, you're behaving so strange today. Are you sure you're alright, friend?"
"Yes, of course! Now stop talking and let's start to play something."
"Hmm… I don't know, can we talk for a little bit? I think that you have something that leaves you untranquil and strange. If you have something to tell me, tell me now. I'm your friend after all."
Snivy tried to avoid all cost talking about that subject with Deerling, but she thought she couldn't hide it for a long time, so the princess didn't have another option than tell her.
"Okay! You win. I'll tell you a little secret that I have."
"A little secret? Tell me, tell me, tell me.! Let's go to a place far from here."
"Alright."
The two of them went to a place far from the other Pokémon's ears, they continued with the conversation there.
"Okay, we're far from foreign ears, what secret do you have? Tell me, tell me, tell me!"
"Calm down, Deerling, it's just a little secret. Well, if I'm so absent-minded today, it's because someone…"
"Yeah?"
"Someone… confess, so to speak, his feelings."
"What do you mean?"
Snivy didn't say any words about it, after some seconds, the Seasonal Pokémon realized.
"Oooooh! Huh? Are you talking seriously, Snivy?"
The snake nodded without saying any words.
"And who is the lucky one?"
"I'm not gonna tell you."
"Oh, come on! Tell me now! One clue at least!"
"A clue? Well, I can tell you that… Umm… It's better not to tell you."
"Oh, please!"
"Don't worry, you're gonna discover it over time."
"Fine…" Deerling said disappointed.
"Don't feel bad, at least I can tell you that it's a very gentlemanly Pokémon with me. Now, let's play chase?"
"Yeah, that sounds fun!"
And the two spend the day playing chase.
Meanwhile, Oshawott arrived to the lighthouse and entered. Samurott was inside and got spooked a little bit, he didn't know that his pupil had come back earlier than usual.
"Hello, Samurott!" Oshawott said with joy and energy.
"Oh, wow, you have come earlier! And you are happy today! Did something interesting happen?"
"Yes, I'm so happy!"
"I see, what happened?"
"Snivy say yes!"
"Oh, really?"
"Yeah."
"Umm… well… it was about time that happened. According what you told me yesterday, you could finally confess your feeling to her, after the failed attempts that you made and many rare flowers that you got."
"Yeah, I couldn't believe that Snivy considered it. I couldn't sleep well that night. And now she officially loves me! We are boyfriend and girlfriend!"
"Mmm…"
Oshawott saw that his tutor wasn't happy about that. He asked him:
"Is something wrong? I don't see you very happy with what I said."
"Oh, it's nothing. The thing is… I'm… proud that you finally did it."
"Thanks, Samurott."
"Now that you two are mates, what are you going to do from now on?"
"Mmm… Geez, I don't know. I was so much time wanting to be Snivy's boyfriend that I haven't realized of it. Hmm… I know! I'm going to give her more flowers to make her happy and give me a kiss."
"Okay… One moment, have you two not kissed each other yet?"
"Yeah, I wanted to give her a kiss but Snivy felt uncomfortable for that, but I told to her that it wasn't necessary to do it now. It may be for later."
Samurott felt very thoughtful about the things that Oshawott said, he wanted to tell him something, but he wanted to keep his words for later.
"Very well Now it's time for us to go to work."
"Understood, sir!"
And the two went outside to continue their task, the Formidable Pokémon in his site of Cove Area's keeper and Oshawott patrolling in the place looking for new cases to solve. Everything seemed to come back to normal.
