23. Nobody likes you when your 33

-chapter 23-

As we headed back to the lab, I thought it was time to discuss a unfortunate possibility.

Me:"You know? What if we have terrible luck and this next portal leads to another world with space police?"

Phoebe: "I don't know, but there's many worse places it could lead us, so I don't see why that would be so bad. "

Me: "Like what? They probe it to make sure we don't walk into our deaths. "

Me: "Since that can't happen, nothing can be much worse than running right back into an enemy we just pissed off. "

Phoebe:" It could lead to a jail cell. "

Me:"True. "

Phoebe: "Or, as Nina would say, a world full of atomic noodle people. "

Me: "I don't think she has ever said that. "

Phoebe: "She hasn't?"

Me: "Not any time I remember. "

-jokingly- Me: "But I'm starting to see where she gets it from. "

-amused- Phoebe: "Oh you . . -giggles-"

Me:"Hehe. "

Phoebe: "I meant she says stuff like that. "

Me: "Ehh, sometimes. . . "

-jokingly- Me: "But atomic noodle people? Come on Pheebles. "

Phoebe: "Well. . . anything is possible. "

Me: "Well. . . . . you know I've always wondered if movie worlds exist. "

Phoebe: "Well then what if we end up in the terminator?"

Me: "That's not that bad, aggron can just squash'em. "

Phoebe: "What if it's the liquid ones from the sequels?"

Me: "Magnum can distract them for us, they're weak to magnets. "

Phoebe: "What about a zombie movie?"

Me:" Couldn't you could just manipulate them?"

Phoebe: "That worked on the video game ones, but who knows if it would on real ones. "

Me: "Ok that would genuinely suck. "

Phoebe: "Mhm. "

Me: "Hopefully it won't be like that, but even if it was, odds are we would know before we got too far from the portal. "

Phoebe: "I hope so too. "

Phoebe :"But we can never be sure. "

Me: "You realize if we were this job would terribly boring?"

Phoebe: "I know. "

We entered the lab, Bob was just retrieving the probe, after he had found the world on the other side to be safe.

Dr. Black: "Allright, put the cameras on, we'll be ready to send you into the portal in a moment. "

Dr. Black: "It appears to lead to a department store. "

Me: "Really? Is it open?"

:" Nope, atleast it doesn't seem like it, there doesn't seem to be anyone around, but the store is fully stocked and seems to be in working order. We couldn't find an exterior window, but perhaps it is now night time in that world and it is closed. "

Me: "Ok. "

Dr. Black: "So go ahead and explore, and listen for further instructions. "

Me: "Allright. "

Me: "Ready Pheebles?"

Phoebe: "Ready. "

Me: "Allright. "

Out of habit we held hands as we walked through the portal, quickly finding ourselves in the department store on the other side. The lights were on, but there was nobody around. There was, however, lots of ordinary women's clothing for sale.

Me: "Well, atleast this is peaceful. "

Phoebe: "Mhm. "

Phoebe: "There's no section for gardevoir clothing though. "

Me: "Well, we're not exactly here to go shopping. "

Me: "Allthough that does mean it is perhaps another world without pokemon. "

Phoebe: "So that means I should go into hiding again? "

Me:" Maybe?"

Unknown: "Freeze!"

I thought we were dealing with the space police again, but it wasn't, Phoebe teleported out before the guard saw her. "

Me: "Not this again. . . . "

I put my hands up.

Unknown:"This store closed hours ago, what are you two still doing here?"

Unknown: "It's tresspassing to be here after closing. "

Phoebe: "It's just mall security let him escort you out. "

Unknown :"What did you steal?"

Me: "Nothing I I . . . passed out in the bathroom, I was so tired, I was driving all day yesterday, I'm sorry. "

Security officer: "Now where's the girl?"

Me: "Girl? What girl?"

Security officer: "The girl you were with. "

Security officer: "Don't play stupid with me I saw her on camera, where did she go?"

Me: "Um. . . "

Phoebe teleported behind him and knocked him out.

Phoebe:"-sighs-, I didn't think he saw me. "

-on radio- Dr. Black: "Ok, they got you on camera, you two need to find that security tape and delete it, we can't risk this world discovering the portal. Who knows what could happen?"

Me: "Allright, got it. "

Me: "Baby girl, can you look in his head for the location of the camera room?"

Phoebe: "Allready done, come on, follow me. "

Me: "Ok. "

Phoebe:"Fortunately it was fresh on his mind, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see it while he's unconcious. "

Me: "Really?"

Phoebe: "Yep. "

Phoebe:"Though really it would only take us a few minutes to find it anyway. "

Me:"Ohhh, I don't know about that Pheebles, it's a pretty big place. "

Phoebe:"Is it really that big?"

Me:"Well, it is just one store out of an entire shopping mall. "

She led me back into an "employees only" door, near the restrooms, this led to a small breakroom area, with a tv, vending machines, and some basic kitchen appliances, passed that was another door, with a sign saying "Authorized personnel only. " in red letters.

Phoebe: " I can't open it. "

Me:"It's a got a card slot, it needs a key card. "

Me: "That guard probably had one. "

Me: "Can't you just telepo. . . . "

-interupting- Phoebe: "No, because I don't know what's on the other side. "

Phoebe: "Or would you like to have a broom permanently attached to your arm?"

Me:" Um. . . . . . . no. . . .that would be weird. "

Phoebe: "Mhm. "

We had to go back and get the keycard, returning about a minute later to open the door.

Inside there was a typical cctv camera setup.

Me: "Ok, where's the tape?"

Phoebe: "Um, I dunno, over here maybe?"

I heard the nostalgic sound of a vcr ejecting a tape.

Phoebe: "Got it. "

Phoebe: "Now what?"

Me: "Well, we can burn it or. . . .

I noticed there was a rack of several vcrs.

Me: "How do you know that's the one?"

Phoebe: "Um. . . I don't. "

Me: "We're going to have to take all of them then, odds are we're on more than one camera anyway. "

Phoebe: "Ok. "

She pressed the eject button on all of the vcrs. . . . . I've never seen so many tapes ejected at once.

-amused- Me:"Hehehe look at em all. "

Phoebe:"-giggles-. "

Me:"Can you carry them all or do you need help?"

-assuredly- Phoebe:"I got'em. "

Me:"Ok. "

Me:"We should go outside and then I'll have HellBlade burn them. "

Phoebe:"Alright. "

-on radio- Dr. Black:"Just send them back through the portal. "

Me: "Oh. . . .yeah, we could just do that. "

Phoebe: "Mhm. "

Dr. Black: "Then find a way out of there, and explore the outside world a bit. "

Me: "Ok, sure. "

Me: "Here Pheebles, I'll return the tapes, why don't you find a disguise?"

Phoebe: "Um, ok. "

We split up for a few minutes, I headed back to the portal and brought the tapes through, then went back.

Once I got back from the lab, I found Phoebe looking at coats in the women's section, another unconscious rent-a-cop nearby. Singing softly as she examined the various dresses.

-singing- Phoebe: "We're running with the shadows of the night, so baby take my hand it'll be allright. "

-singing- Phoebe:"Surrender all your dreams to me tonight, they'll come true in the end. "

-playfully- Me:"Hey Pheebles, I thought I'd find you here. "

Phoebe:"Yeah you found me. "

Me: "Where'd you learn that?"

Phoebe: "Oh...you heard me.. "

Me: "Yeah...so? You have a very beautiful voice baby girl. "

Phoebe: "Awww...well I heard it on the radio. "

Me: "But that's from...my world. "

Phoebe: "Yeah, I was cleaning the kitchen up, a little bit, and I found a radio in one of the kitchen drawers, I put some batteries in it, and this came on. "

Me: "What station?"

Phoebe: "I don't remember. "

Phoebe: "Anyway another guard came while you were gone. "

Me:" Yeah I saw. "

Phoebe:"You take care of the tapes?"

Me:"Yep, don't need to worry about them anymore. "

Phoebe:"Ok. "

Me:"Did you find a coat to hide your beauty?"

-lovingly- Phoebe: "Awwwwe. . . .almost. "

Phoebe:"They don't have a lot of the big puffy kind. . . "

Me: "Must not be winter here. "

Phoebe: "I guess not. "

Me:"What about this one?"

Phoebe:"Ew. .it's red. "

Me:"We're trying to hide your appearence not complement it. "

Phoebe:"I know. . . .but. . . it's red. "

Me:"Well. . . uh. . . these are the only ones I see. "

Me:"You wanna try the men's section?"

Phoebe:"Still better than red. "

Me:"What is so wrong with red?"

-jokingly- Phoebe:"It makes me look like a watmel berry. "

Me:"Ehehehehe. "

-playfully- Phoebe:"Laugh all you want, you know it's true. "

Me:"Yeah, maybe it is. . . . "

-jokingly- Me: "Still, better than an alien bomber pilot. "

Phoebe: "Um. . . ok. . . you got me there. "

In the men's clothing section she found a black coat which she decided to wear. It was way oversized, but it covered her up nicely, and combined with some sunglasses and oversized jeans th, she could pass for human, if nobody noticed her pure white cheeks.

Me:"Allright, come on babe, we got you all marshmellowed up. "

Phoebe:"I look like a marshmellow now?"

She used her powers to carefully remove the dye pack from the coat without setting it off.

Me: "No not really, it's just a saying. "

-suspicious-Phoebe: "Since when?"

-unsure- Me: "Um. . . . . since. . . "

-suspicious- Phoebe: "Since you said it was. . . ?"

Me: "Uhh. . . . "

Me: "Yeah, pretty much. "

She hugged me.

-lovingly- Phoebe: "It's ok I'm just messing with you. "

Me:" Hehehe,I thought so. "

Phoebe:"-giggles-. "

-playfully- Phoebe: "No you didn'r. "

-playfully- Me: "Hehe, wow, this coat makes you so fluffy, you really are a marshmallow. "

Phoebe:" -giggles-. "

-on radio,unamused- Dr. Black :"If you two are done hugging it out, would you please find the exit so we can see what's outside?"

Me: "Right, yeah, come on Pheebles. "

Phoebe:" Ohhhh allright. "

We began to search for an exit, it didn't take long to find one, and soon we were heading out into a vast, mostly empty parking lot in the dead of night.

Me: "Not much to see here. "

Phoebe:" Nope. "

-on radio- :"Find a way out of the parkinglot, see if there's any traffic so we can confirm that it's not just a virtual world set in a department store. "

Phoebe: "Ok. "

It was a long walk out of the parking lot, but eventually we came across a boulevard, with quite a few cars traveling down it.

-on radio- Dr. Black: "Allright, you can come back now. "

-on radio- Dr. Black: "This looks like another large world, so we're not going to have time to explore it all. We'll continue to explore it with the evening team. "

-into radio- Me: "Ok. "

-into radio- Phoebe :"Are you sure, I mean, we're already here?"

-on radio- Dr. Black: "For what we need, it will be better if we could find somebody to talk too. "

-on radio- Dr. Black: "But since it's night time over there, finding someone reliable or willing to be brought in for questioning is highly unlikely. "

-on radio- Dr. Black:" So we will send someone in when morning arrives in this world, before they can replace the security tapes. "

-into radio- Phoebe: "Allright if that's what you want. "

Me: "Well this world was easy. "

Phoebe: "Mhm. "

Me: "I guess they can't all be exciting. "

Phoebe:" Nope. "

We turned around and made our way back to the portal.

Phoebe: "I'm keeping this coat. "

Me: "Why?"

Phoebe: "So I don't have to go looking for one anymore. "

Phoebe:" Besides the cameras are gone, they'll never know. "

Me: "Are we allowed to just take it?"

-defensively- Phoebe: "You took all those guns. "

Me: " Yeah but, they weren't for sale. "

Me: "oh fine. . . keep it. . . "

We made it back to the portal without any trouble, then we collected Charley and headed home for the afternoon.

Me: "So are we going out tonight?"

Phoebe: "-sighs-, I guess so. "

Me: "I guess I'll have to call my parents then. "

- about a half hour later-

-on phone- Me: "What do you mean you're busy? Harvest season ended weeks ago. "

-on phone- Me: "Ohhh, right. . . . . .the meeting. . . . . . . .I forgot. . . . "

-on phone- Me: "Yeah, I'll tell her. "

-on phone- Me: "Bye mom. "

Phoebe: "They're busy?"

Me: "Yep, they're at a watershed meeting, I wonder when they started having those again?"

Phoebe: "I don't know. "

-a bit let down- Me: "So I guess we're not going out tonight. "

-a bit let down- Phoebe: "Awe. . . "

About an hour later we left to pickup Nina from school. After she got in the car we headed to pokemon center.

-on the way to center-

Nina: "Can we go to the center?"

She asked as she climbed in.

Phoebe: "Sure. "

Me :"Yeah, we need to go anyway. "

Phoebe:"So how was your day sweety?"

Nina:"It was ok, a bit boring. . . . . we were battling some kids from other schools and my friends all lost. "

Phoebe: "Did you win?"

Nina: "They didn't challenge me yet. "

Phoebe: "Well maybe tomorrow then. "

Nina:" They won't be there tomorrow though, they were only there cause some sports thing was going on. "

Phoebe: "Ohh. . . ok. "

Nina: "But I beat some other boy that thought he could win. "

Nina: "Matches kicked his ivysaur's little green butt. "

Me: "Hehehe. "

Phoebe: "Well good, I would hope so with that sort of type disadvantage. "

Nina: "And then he sent out a pikachu. "

Nina: "So I sent out Spike. "

-excitedly- Nina: "And it was hard to attack because it was really fast, and really cute, but a few gyroballs and it was like boom. . . .boom. . . . . pikaaaaaaaaaaa! -rasberry-. "

Phoebe: "Mhm. . . . . . . . . . I see. "

Me: "Hehe, Keep practicing sweety, I'm sure you wouldv'e given those punks from the other school a run for their money. "

Nina: "Thanks dad. "

Me: "Mhm. "

-playfully- Nina:" How are you Charley?"

Charley: "Newa, Cawey wa teephee. "

Nina: "I know you're watching tv. "

Nina: "How was your day?"

Charley: "Loo, es puhpeh tow tway. "

As usual, he directed his attention towards the tv.

Nina: "Mhm, I see. . . . "

Phoebe:" I don't think he understands the question sweety. "

Nina: "I know, but still. "

Nina: "You like this show don't you?"

-singing- Charley: "Puhpeh tow tway. . . . . pomah massa. "

-singing- Charley :" learn bow all pomons. "

-singing- Charley: "En the worl. "

-enamored- Phoebe:"Awee. . . is that the theme song?"

Me:"Yep. "

It was involuntarily burned into my soul at this point, but it was still cute when he sang it.

Phoebe:"Is that your favorite show Charley?"

-cutely- Charley:"Cawey dunno. "

-playfully- Phoebe:"Ohhhhhh. . . . . I think it is, you rarely want to watch anything else in here. "

Nina:"Well then it must be. "

Phoebe:"Mhm. "

-cutely- Charley: "Mawa. . . Cawey luh teephee. "

Phoebe: "Mhm. . . I know you do. "

Me: "Hehe . . . . . . . we all know. "

Phoebe: "Yep. "

While visiting the pokemon center to heal Nina's pokemon, I got mine healed as well, since they may have sustained injuries from fighting the space police earlier, and then we headed home, as most afternoons went, Nina went outside to play with her pokemon, we let a few of ours out as well, as the weather was quite agreeable, aside from it being just a bit cold, and Charley played with his toys on the floor, while Phoebe and I snuggled on the couch, still wanting to go out, but not being able too.

Me: "Maybe we could take them to a daycare?"

Phoebe: "For humans or pokemon?"

Me: "Human. . . "

Phoebe :"Would they allow that?"

Me: "I don't know. "

Phoebe: "Maybe we'll just go out tomorrow if Corina isn't busy. "

Me: "Um. . . maybe. . . "

Me: "Kind of feeling it tonight though. . . "

-lovingly- Phoebe:"Awwwwwe. . . .Cj. . . "

Phoebe:"We can't go, you know we can't. "

Me:"I know. "

Phoebe:"Atleast we can still snuggle. "

Me:"Yeah, you're right. "

A few minutes later, her cellphone wrang.

Me:"Who is it?"

Phoebe:"Um. . . .I don't know. "

-into phone- Phoebe:"Hello?"

Phoebe :"Corina? "

Me:" More work?"

Phoebe:"Shhhhh. "

Phoebe:"What's wrong?"

She headed into the kitchen.

-concerned- Charley:"Mawa whehgowee?"

Me:"She has to talk to Corina about something. "

-cutely- Charley: "Doh wohwee?"

-calmly- Me: "Yeah, don't worry. "

Me:"Everything's ok. "

She came back a few minutes later.

Phoebe :"Well that was sad. . . "

Me: "What?"

Phoebe: "Corina's date cancelled at the last minute. "

Me: "What why?"

Phoebe :"I don't know, she said he didn't even give a reason, he just called her to say it was off and hung up. "

Me: "What?"

Phoebe:"Poor thing. "

Phoebe:"But, it does mean she can watch the kids tonight so we can go out. "

Me:"But Pheebles. "

Phoebe: "She already agreed to come over. "

Me: "Is she ok or what?"

Phoebe: "She's a bit upset, but she'll be fine, the worst thing to do would be to leave her on her own. "

Phoebe:" Now, I have to go get ready, she should be here within an hour or so. "

Phoebe: "Keep an eye on Charley. "

She kissed me on the cheek and headed up the stairs. "

Charley: "Mawa!"

Charley: "Cawey wa kees. "

Me: "Jealous much?"

Me: "Here, I'll take you up to see her. "

I picked him up and brought him upstairs to our room.

Phoebe: "Cj what are you?"

Phoebe: "Oh, you brought Charley. "

Me: "He wants a kiss from his mama. "

Charley: "Mawa!"

Charley:"Cawey wa kees. "

Phoebe: "Oh you little cutie. . "

Phoebe: "Mmmah. "

She kissed him on the cheek.

Phoebe: "And one for daddy too. "

She gave me another kiss on the cheek.

Phoebe: "There, hows that?"

-enamored- Me: "That's good. . . I love you babe. "

Phoebe: "I love both of you. "

Phoebe: "Now go back downstairs so I can get ready for tonight. "

Me: "Ok, come on little guy. "

-unsure- Charley: "Mawa luh Cawey?"

Me: "Of course she loves you little guy. "

Me: "We both love you. "

Me: "You're our son, don't forget that. "

He went back to playing with his toys while I waited around, watching tv and making sure he didn't wander out of the living room. Nina came in a little bit later.

Nina:"Where's mom?"

Me:"She's upstairs, also your mother and I are going out tonight, so Corina will be dropping by in a little while. "

Nina:"But I don't need a baby sitter. "

Me:"I know you don't, but Charley does and your mother doesn't think you can take care of him on your own. "

Me:"Also, from what I've heard, Corina's boyfriend ditched her, so, don't do anything to set her off ok?"

-sarcastically- Nina:"Great. . . . . "

Nina: "But I can take care of him see. "

-playfully- Nina: "Come here baby brother. "

She picked him up.

-cutely- Charley: "Newa!"

Me: "Taking care of him involves a lot more than just holding him you know. "

Me: "He has a habit of finding things to be upset about, and when that happens you need to know how to calm him down. "

Charley: "Cawey wa dow. "

Me: "Sometimes it's easy, and other times nothing in the world will cheer him up. "

Me: "Because, well, he's a baby, there's a lot of things he just doesn't understand and these things often terrify him. "

Me: "And then, you know, there's lots of other little things, don't let him climb on the stairs, keep him from playing with electrical outlets. Basically keep him from hurting himself. "

Charley:" Newa, Cawey wa dow. "

Nina: "I can do that. . "

Me: "Maybe some other time sweety, we've already made arrangements. "

Nina: "-sighs-, ok. "

-upset- Charley: "CAWEY WA DOW!"

Nina: "Ok ok. "

She set him down.

Nina: "You don't have to yell. "

Me:"Well you didn't listen the first time. "

Nina: "But we weren't done talking. "

Me:"Well, you can't expect him to be patient. "

Nina: "I know. "

Me: "Where are you going?"

Nina: "To my room. "

Me: "Awe come on sweetheart, why don't you just watch tv for a bit until Corina comes?"

Nina: "-sighs-, ok. "

Me: "You're always either outside or in your room, we never see you much even when you're home. "

Nina: "Sorry. "

Me: "It's allright. "

Nina: "I have homework though. "

Me: "You can finish it when Corina gets here. "

Nina: "Ok. "

Nina:"What's on tv? "

Me: "Procedural cop shows. . . . "

Nina: "Oh . . "

Nina: "Who died this time? "

Me: "Some old lady . "

Nina:" Ok. "

Nina: "How?"

Me: "Blunt force trauma. "

Nina: "Really?"

Me: "I don't know they haven't found out yet. "

Me: "They just found the body. "

Nina: "Ok. "

Nina:" Where did they find it? "

Me: "Sweety just watch the show. "

Nina: "-sighs- ok. "

Nina: "Charley . . . "

Charley: "Newa . . "

Nina:"Come here. "

Charley:"Nooo . . . Cawey wa dow . . . "

He stayed where he was, not wanting to be bothered at the moment as he was 'busy' playing with his toys.

Nina: "Awwwe. "

By the time Corina arrived, both Phoebe and I were ready to go.

Phoebe: "Ok now remember, Charley needs to be in bed by 8 and Nina at 9. "

Corina: "Same as usual?"

Phoebe: "Mhm. "

Phoebe: "And try to cheer up Corina, you'll find someone eventually don't worry. "

Corina: "I wish I could believe you. "

Phoebe: "You can, you just have to believe in yourself first. "

Me: "Are we ready? "

Phoebe: "Mhm. "

Me: "Ok then. "

Phoebe: "Bye Charley.. "

Phoebe :"Be good for Corina. "

Charley: "Bye mawa . . . . dahwy . . . . "

Me: "Bye little guy. "

-cutely- Charley: "Cawey miss. . . "

Phoebe: "You too Nina . . . "

Nina: "Have fun. "

Phoebe: "Mhm, you too. "

Nina: "I got homework. "

Phoebe: "Well you should've got it done earlier. "

Nina: "But I wanted to play outside before it got dark. "

Phoebe: "Well . . . . then . . "

Me: "Oppourtunity costs. "

Phoebe: "Mhm . . . "

-jokingly- Phoebe: "Don't set the house on fire. "

Nina: "I won't, I promise. "

Phoebe: "Good. "

We finally left the house.

Me: "Allright here we go again. "

Phoebe: "You wanna take the skyline? "

Me: "Don't have enough fuel. "

Me: "We'll take yours. "

Phoebe: "Ok. "

Phoebe: "Where we going to go?"

Me: "I dunno, just see where we end up. "

Phoebe: "-giggles-. "

Me: "Hopefully myrenthal or the space police or something won't interupt. "

Phoebe: "hopefully. "

She pulled the tarp off of her camaro, then we got in and she pulled out of the drive.

Phoebe: "-sighs-, Oh my car how i've missed you. "

Me: "Hehehe. "

Me :"You used to drive it all over the place, now it just sits under its tarp most of the time. "

Phoebe:"Mhm. "

Me:"You know, if Nina goes on her own adventure. "

Phoebe:"Mhm?"

Me:"You want to maybe go again?"

Phoebe:"And take on the league again?"

Me:"A different league perhaps. "

Me: "Sinnoh's?"

Phoebe: "No... "

Me: "Why not?"

Phoebe: "That's too close to home, if I ended up beating that league too, or if either of us even gets close to winning, my secret could be exposed. "

Phoebe: "Hoen would be safer, or we just do the Johto league, with Nina. "

Me: "I think it would be better if she challenged it on her own. "

Me: "What would we do if we ended up against her in the finals?"

Phoebe: "I don't know. "

Me: "Look when she's ready, we'll give her the mustang and some... "

Phoebe: "Woah woah woah...wait... "

Phoebe: "You're giving her the mustang?"

Me: "Well, ever since I got it it's just been sitting in the store... "

Me: "It's cheap, it's sporty, we can give it a hydro conversion. "

Me: "And it's a mustang, it's not like it will take forever to replace it. "

Phoebe: "But it's a gt...5.0... "

Me: "We'll be able to find another by the time I would decide to do anything with it. "

Me: "And don't say anything to her about this. "

Phoebe: "I won't. "

Phoebe: "So where are we going?"

Me: "Dancing? Dinner, a movie?"

Me: "Dashing dinosaurs down denton drive?"

Phoebe :"What?"

Me: "I don't know. "

Me:"You hungry?"

Phoebe:"A little bit. "

Me:"Why don't we just get some dinner and decide from there?"

Me:"We'll get dinner and decide on dancing, dramatic movies, or dashing dinosaurs down denton drive. "

Phoebe:"-giggles- ok. "

-jokingly- Phoebe:"I never dashed a dinosaur before. "

-jokingly- Me:"Well, it's really easy, see, you gotta use dynamite. "

-jokingly- Me: "You light the fuse, and then you throw it so it lands right behind the dinosaur. "

-jokingly- Me: "And then it goes off and scares the dinosaur that then proceeds to take off in the opposite direction down the street. "

-jokingly- Me: "Bowling over everything in its way. "

Phoebe: "-giggles- Sounds destructive. "

-jokingly- Me: "It is. "

-jokingly- Me:" And then the police come and they're like Drop that dynamite you damned dirty destructive dinosaur dashers. "

Phoebe: "-giggles-. "

Me: "We are the space police...we have very specific rules on having dinosaurs in the street. "

-jokingly- Me: "We are determined to deter, damage, and destroy, you damned dirty destructive dinosaur dashing dunderheads by driving our dynamite deloreans dynamically. "

Me: "Hehehe, Ok I can't drag that out anymore, sorry. "

Phoebe: "-giggles-, it's ok. "

-sincerely- Phoebe: "I love you. "

Me: "Love you too baby. "

-jokingly- Me:" WE ARE SPACE POLICE, in case you didn't here us the first time. "

Phoebe: "-giggles-"

Eventually we made it to Goldenrod.

Phoebe:"So where are we going to go?"

Me: "I don't know, you wanna go to the same place we went last time we went out?"

Phoebe :"We could... "

Phoebe: "Or we could go see a movie now. "

Me: "No, dinner first then movie. "

Me: "Never see a movie first. "

Phoebe :"Why?"

Me: "Because then we'll just spend more at the concession stand on popcorn and stuff than a good dinner would cost. "

Phoebe: "Ohhhhh...ok. "

Me:"What do you want?"

Phoebe: "Um...what about...cheese?"

Me: "What?"

-playfully- Phoebe: "I want cheese pwease.. "

Me :"Well...you're driving. "

Me: "But I don't think there's a place that just serves straight cheese. "

Phoebe:"I know that. "

Me: "Lycomming had this nice italian place, but I don't thing it's still open. "

Phoebe: "Is that the country that looks like a boot?'

Me: "Mhm... "

Phoebe: "Can we go there?"

Me: "Why? "

Me: "And how?"

Phoebe:"We could use the portal system. "

Me: "What if there are no portals that lead over there?"

Me:" And how would we know which ones?"

Phoebe: "Follow the italian cars?"

Me: "That's not going to work Pheebles.. "

Me :"They sell italian cars all across europe, and... "

-interupting- Phoebe:"I know I know. "

Me: "Even if we went there we can't speak italian. "

Phoebe:"Maybe you can't but I can... "

Me:"We're already in Goldenrod any way babygirl. "

Phoebe:"You're right, we are. "

Me: "So where are we going?"

Phoebe: "I don't know, I haven't decided yet. "

Me :"Pizza? Steak? Burgers? "

-jokingly- Phoebe: "Nomels!"

Me: "Nomels?"

-jokingly- Me: "What ever happened to orans?"

Phoebe: "They're good too. "

Phoebe: "Actually I don't like nomels that much.. "

Me: "Oh really?"

Phoebe: "They're so sour they kind of burn after awhile.'

Me: "Like sour skittles then?"

Phoebe: "Huh? Oh no, don't bring those up again. "

Me:"It's not my fault you didn't read the pack. "

Phoebe: "You could have said something. "

Me: "I did, but by that time you already had half the pack in your mouth. "

Phoebe:"I meant sooner. "

-jokingly- Me: "I didn't know you were that hungry. "

Me: "And then you gave one to Charley, and he spat it out on the floor. "

Phoebe: "I wanted to see what he would do. "

Me:"Hehehehe...did you think he would like it?"

Phoebe: "Maybe... "

Me: "We still haven't figured out where we're going. "

Phoebe: "Nope. "

Phoebe: "Does it matter where we go?"

Me: "Um...nah, I think we'll have a good time wherever. "

Phoebe: "Golden Tauros steakhouse it is then. "

Me:"Sounds good. "

We arrived at the steakhouse a few minutes later

Me: "Well here we are. "

Phoebe :"Mhm. "

Me: "So how about a movie after this?"

Phoebe: "Didn't we already agree on that?"

Me :"Ummm maybe. "

-jokingly- Me: "So are you from around here?"

-jokingly- Phoebe: "No, I'm from planet noodlethorp. "

Me: "Oh really where's that?"

-jokingly- Phoebe: "I don't remember. "

-jokingly- Phoebe :"Pasta galaxy. "

Me: "Hehehe. "

Me: "-sighs-, you're funny when you want to be. "

Phoebe: "So are you, you big goofball. "

Me:"So, what are you going to order?"

Phoebe:"I don't know. "

Phoebe: " What about you?"

Me:" Steak sounds good. "

Phoebe: "I still want something cheesy. "

Me :"You were serious about that?"

-cutely- Phoebe: "Mhm. "

Me: Why didn't we go to the pizza place then?"

Phoebe: "I don't know, this place was closer?"

Phoebe: "It doesn't matter, they got cheesesteak. "

Me: "Hehehe, get what you want baby girl. "

A few minutes later the waitress came and took our orders, I got a steak, and Phoebe went ahead and ordered a cheesesteak.

Phoebe: "Did you ever have cheesesteak before?"

Me: "No, but I don't think it would be too bad. "

Me:"I wonder what kind of cheese they'll use?"

Phoebe:"I don't care, as long as its cheese. "

Me:"Why are you so obsessed with cheese. "

Me :"You turning into a mouse or something? A pikachu?"

Phoebe: "No...I just want cheese. "

-curious- Me: "Do pikachus like cheese?"

Phoebe: "I don't know, I imagine they wouldn't mind it. "

Phoebe:"I can't remember the last time I've seen one, they're kind of hard to find in the wild. "

Me: "Like in the anime?"

Phoebe:"Well, they aren't really rare, they're just really good at hiding. "

Phoebe:"A long time ago my mother told Rath and me that once a year they'll all gather in a certain spot deep within the forrest, far away from human cities and even the gardevoir city. "

Phoebe :"Actually many different pokemon gather like this on special occasions. "

Phoebe: "And when they gather you'll be able to find them easilly because you'll see flashes of electricity around them. "

Phoebe: "But it's not wise to provoke them. "

Phoebe: "Unless you want to be a neon sign. "

Me:"Hehe. "

Me: "Why do they gather like that?"

Phoebe: "I don't really know, there's many reasons they could, mating, evolution, incomming storms, lots of things can cause pokemon to gather. "

We talked about pokemon until our food arrived.

Phoebe :"Well this isn't what I thought it would be . . . "

Me: "Really?"

Me: "Why what's wrong?"

-confused- Phoebe: "This is steak? "

Me: "Yeah, they just sliced it up more. "

Phoebe: "I thought it would be just a steak with cheese. "

Phoebe :"You know, like a cheeseburger is just a burger, with cheese. "

Phoebe: "But this is more like a sandwhich than a steak. "

Me :"Well, that doesn't mean it taste bad does it ?"

Phoebe: "I don't know. "

She took a bite.

-satisfied- Phoebe: "It's cheeeesy. "

Me: "Hehe. "

Phoebe:"I love it. "

Me: "Good. "

After we left the restaurant, we headed over to the nearest movie theatre to see what kind of movies were playing.

Me: "So what should we watch?"

Phoebe: "Does it matter?"

Me: "Of course it does, some movies suck. "

Phoebe: "Well . . . I know . . . . but . . . what if we just snuggle and kiss through the entire thing?"

Me: "Is that what you wanna do baby?"

-playfully- Phoebe: " Maybe. "

Me: "Then it would be best to see something quiet. "

Me: "Suspense movies are usually pretty quiet. "

Phoebe: "Is there one available?"

Me: "I don't know. "

Me :"You sure you don't want to enjoy the movie?"

Me: "Cause baby girl we can do whatever we want when we get home. "

Phoebe: "I dunno. "

Me: "Well make up your mind, there's only like 4 choices anyway. "

Phoebe:"Excuse me mister ticket person?"

Ticket vendor: "Yes?"

Phoebe: "What's a good movie for couples?"

Ticket Vendor :"Um, we don't have any romance films showing right now, you need to wait for the spring for that, but Hyper aggron is pretty good. "

Phoebe: "Hyper Aggron?"

Ticket Vendor:" yes, it's about an experiment gone awry that causes a collosal 400ft mega aggron to attack Slateport. "

Me:"Mega aggron?"

Ticket Vendor:" Yeah you know, Mega evolutions, it's a thing that's been going on in the kalos region for a few years now. "

Me: "Yeah, I've heard of them before, but...aggron has one?"

Ticket Vendor. "Yep. "

Phoebe: "What are you thinking?"

Me: "I think you know. "

Phoebe: "Yeah, but ... "

Ticket Vendor: "So two tickets then?"

Phoebe: "Yeah. "

Ticket Vendor: "Or one adult and one pokemon. "

Phoebe: "No...two adults. "

This was the first time I met somebody that had the nerve to ask her that, most just assumed she considered herself human. Yes, theatre's had a special rate for pokemon, though, like most places, some that were considered public disturbances were banned, as well as extremely large ones, so yeah, no watching movies with your wailord or grimer. Wailords likely wouldn't find a theatre to be very comfortable anyway.

Ticket Vendor: "It's a cheeper rate. "

-sternly- Phoebe: "Two adults... "

Ticket :"Ok..if you say so...mam. "

-annoyed- Phoebe: "rrrr. "

Me: "Pheebles. "

Me: "Don't let him get to ya babe, come on let's go. "

Phoebe: "Ok. "

We headed into the lobby, bought some drinks and popcornn from the concession stand, and headed into the theatre.

We sat in the back row, there was barely anyone here so we had a great view, not that it really mattered, Phoebe already decided that she didn't come here to watch a movie.

Phoebe: "Why must there be an armrest? It makes it hard to snuggle. "

Me :"Because they expect you to watch the movie. "

Phoebe:"I know, but still, there's no reason we can't watch while snuggling. "

Me: "True. "

Phoebe: "And maybe something else. "

Me: "No, baby girl, behave yourself. "

Phoebe:"Nobody will see, that's why we're in the back. "

Me: "Pheebles. "

Phoebe:"Ok fine. "

Phoebe: "Can we still snuggle atleast?"

Me: "Yes we can still snuggle. "

Phoebe: "Ok. "

-relaxed- Phoebe:"-sighs-. "

-uncomfortable- Phoebe: "Awweee. the armrest is in the way. "

Me: "hehe. "

-unsure- Me: "Does it lift up?"

Phoebe: "Um...I already tried that. "

Phoebe: "Wait, there's a button. "

Phoebe: "Yeah it does!"

Me: "Allright then. "

Over the next few minutes the theatre gradually filled up, then the lights went low and the ad reel began to play, finally followed by the movie a few minutes later. Phoebe was pretty much using me as a pillow before we even got through the credits.

Me: "You want some popcornn?"

Phoebe:"Maybe in a little while. "

Me: "Ok. "

The movie turned out to be pretty interesting, albeit hard to follow at some points. It was one of those movies where the action sequences were a bit too fast for their own good, so unless you payed really close attention, it was hard to tell what was happening. And then it had one of those textbook romances that seem to be in every movie, you know, where two people start out hating eachother but fall in love over the course of the movie.

-softly- Phoebe: "Cj?"

-softly- Me: "Yeah?"

-softly-Phoebe: "If they kiss can we kiss? "

-softly-Me : "Of course baby. "

-softly-Me: "Or I could just kiss you now. "

-softly-Phoebe: "No..Cj, we have to kiss when they kiss. "

-softly-Me: "Why?"

-softly-Phoebe: "Because.. , we have too. "

-softly-Me: "Allright, if that's what you want. "

On the screen, an epic battle took place between the collosal aggron, and lots and lots of magnemites that combined together into some collosal magnet monster, which sadly isn't possible in real life, magnemite are not designed to allow for more than three to work in unison. Meanwhile, the "hero" of the movie, I forgot his name, oversaw the action from the rooftop of a nearby building. After an epic battle that leveled half the city in the process, the giant aggron was defeated, and, for reasons unexplained, reverted to a normal-sized aron.

-softly- Phoebe:"Well it's dead. "

-softly- Me: "Mhm. "

-softly- Phoebe: "Are they going to kiss?"

-softly- Me: "I don't know. "

-softly- Me: "Where'd his ladyfriend go anyway? "

-softly- Phoebe: "Maybe she died?"

-softly- Me: "No, they wouldn't end the movie like that. "

-softly- Me: "She there she is. "

She kissed me.

-softly- Me: "What was that for? They didn't kiss yet. "

-softly- Phoebe: "oops. "

They started kissing seconds later.

Phoebe: "Ok now. "

We kissed again, only stopping when the couple on the screen stopped.

Phoebe: "Love you. "

Me: "Love you too baby. "

Me: "The movie is almost over you ready to go home?"

Phoebe:" No...not yet. "

Me: "Why not?'

Phoebe: "Can we just...go for a walk or something?"

Me: "Through the city?"

Phoebe: "Just for a little bit. "

Me: "Ohhh, allright. "

Me: "Come on then babe let's go. "

Phoebe:"Ok. "

We left the theatre as the credits began to roll.

Me:"So where are we going?"

Phoebe: "I don't know. "

Phoebe: "Down the street?"

Me: "So true. "

Phoebe: "Here take my hand. "

Me: "Where are we going?"

Phoebe: "I wanna see how high we can get. "

Me: "Huh?"

She teleported us to the roof of a nearby building, I didn't have time to find out which one before she teleported us again, and again...and again, she stopped right about when she was starting to annoy me.

-panting- Phoebe: "Ok, this is the tallest building in the area. "

Phoebe: "I can't make it to the skyscrapers over there. "

Me: "Ok, and why are we here?"

Phoebe: "No reason. "

Phoebe: "I just wanted to see how high up we could get. "

Me:"Hehe, ok. "

I went to look over the edge, we were pretty high up, even though there were taller buildings in the distance.

-jokingly- Phoebe: "Don't fall. "

Me: "I know baby girl. "

Phoebe: "I was hoping we could see the stars from up here. "

Phoebe: "But there's too much light. "

Me: "Well, you got to get away from the city to see the stars. "

Me: "We can see them at home if you want. "

Phoebe: "But Cj, I want to see them now. "

Me: "You cold?"

Me: "It's kind of cold up here. "

Phoebe: "Yeah...it is. "

Phoebe: "Come on, let's go back down. "

Me: "Ok. "

She teleported us back to the ground.

Phoebe: "Ok, now, we have to go over this way. "

Me: "But we parked back there. "

Phoebe: "I know, we're still walking. "

Me: "Ok. "

Me: "Were are we going?"

-playfully- Phoebe :"I told you already, down the street. "

Me: "Baby girl. "

Me:"You know it's probably not the safest thing to just go walking down the streets at night. "

-playfully- Phoebe: "What's the matter you scared?"

Me: "No, it's just. "

-playfully- Phoebe: "You're scared... "

-annoyed- Me: "Pheebles. "

wild gastly: "GASTLY!"

Phoebe:"Eeeeeek!"

Just then a wild gastly came through the wall of a building in front of us, crossed the street and dissapeared when it phased into the building on the other side.

Me: "What the?"

-terrified- Phoebe: "Ok that was scary. "

I felt a pain in my chest.

-in pain- Me:"Yeah, you're squeezing me a litttle tight there Pheebles. "

Phoebe:" Oh...sorry. "

Phoebe: "Hehe... "

Me: "Hehe. "

Me: "What was up with that gastly anyway?"

Phoebe:"I don't know. Sometimes they just hide out in buildings at night and wait to scare people. "

Phoebe :"Other times they impersonate humans. "

Phoebe: "Sometimes they try to be who they were before...well before they born. "

Me:"Human?"

Phoebe: "Gastly's can be a ghost of anything Cj, anything except other ghost pokemon. "

Phoebe: "If a rattata suffered an unfair death it could become a gastly, or a shuppet, misdreavus, or a mimikyu or... um...a drifloon. "

Me: "What the heck is a mimikyu? "

Phoebe: "They're Alolan ghost pokemon. "

Me: "Ok. "

Me :" What determines what they become? "

Phoebe:"I don't know, I don't think anybody knows for sure. "

wild gastly: "GASTLY! "

Phoebe:"EEEK!"

-shocked- Me: "What? "

Another ghastly, or maybe the same one from earlier had snuck up behind us, for apparently no reason other then to give us a scare.

Phoebe: "Do you mind? "

Phoebe: "We're trying to have a conversation. "

Me:"Um Pheebles. "

Phoebe: "hmm? "

-in pain- Me: "Let go...please.. "

Phoebe: "Oh...sorry sorry. "

Ghastly: "Gahahahahasttly. "

It laughed at us in a taunting manner.

Phoebe: "Hey! Get back here you! "

Ghastly :"Ghast! "

In vanished into thin air before she could anything about it.

-annoyed- Phoebe: "Do that again, I'll get you, I swear. "

-annoyed- Phoebe: "I will catch you, and I will leave you in the pc forever. "

Me :"Pheebles, calm down. "

Me: "We don't even have any pokeballs. "

Phoebe: " Don't tell it that. "

Me:"We're on a date remember?"

I wrapped my arm around her and kissed her on the cheek.

-enamored- Phoebe: "Awwwe..Cj... "

Phoebe: "Come on, let's get out of here. "

Phoebe: "This place is haunted and I don't know why. "

Me:"Can't you see those things?"

Phoebe:"Only when there's a lot of them, ghost pokemon are really hard to detect. "

Me: "Where are we going to go now?"

Phoebe: "I don't know. "

Phoebe: "We'll just keep going this way. "

Me: "You know we have the meter running?"

Phoebe:" I know, I put lots in, we have time, don't worry. "

Me: "We should probably head back to the car. "

Phoebe: "We'll go around the the block and loop back. "

Me: " Honey, you know that means we'll have to walk through here twice. "

Me: "Might as well just turn around. "

-cutely- Phoebe: "Can we please go over to the next street?"

Me:" Oh...Okaaay, you know we'll still have to go back through here though. "

Phoebe:"That's ok, I don't think that ghastly will mess with us anymore. "

-playfully- Me: "You think you scaired him off?"

-cutely- Phoebe: "Yep. "

We headed to an intersection just a few buildings down the street, and from there we crossed over to the adjacent street, we didn't want to cut through the alleyways, where more ghost pokemon could be hiding in the dark. It was hard to tell how many were around, it may have been just that one gastly.

Phoebe: "I wonder if any more wild pokemon are out. "

Me: "Probably. "

Phoebe: "Can't pick up anything but ratatas at the current moment. "

Me: "Rattatas?"

Phoebe: "Rattatas are everywhere. "

Me: "Ok. "

Phoebe :"Oh wait, there's a noctowl on the roof of that building. "

Me: "What's it up to?"

Phoebe: "Looking for rattatas. "

Me: "Hehehe... go figure. "

Phoebe: "It's a mama. "

Phoebe: "It has baby hoothoots to feed. "

Me: "Really? "

Phoebe :"Mhm. "

Thankfully rattatas were very common, because nearly everything ate them. Fortunately if one was to be captured, and a wild pokemon attacked it, it could be returned before it became a meal. With many pokemon that find themselves at the bottom of the food chain, this becomes less of a problem as the pokemon progresses through training.

Me:"Where are they?"

Phoebe:"Back at it's nest. "

Phoebe:"We shouldn't look for it, unless you want to be attacked by a very angry noctowl. "

Me:"Allright then. "

Me:"I wonder what baby hoothoots look like. "

Me:"I keep picturing these little bald egg shaped birds. "

Phoebe:"That seems about right. "

Phoebe: "Hey it's about to move. "

Me: "Hmm?"

Phoebe :"There's a rattata by that building over there. "

Me: "I see. "

The rattata cautiously approached the sidewalk, the noctowl leapt from the building, and very quietly glided towards it. It seized it in its claws and flew away, down the street, as if nothing had happend at all.

Phoebe:"Poor thing, so unlucky. "

Me: "You're ok with that?"

I was kind of surprised she didn't try to save it.

Phoebe: "Noctowl have to eat too. "

Phoebe: "And you know what they say about rattatas? Where there's one there's atleast 40 more. "

Me :"Yeah, I guess that's true. "

Phoebe: "They're really gross too. "

Phoebe :"They carry all sorts of diseases, they eat out of the garbage. "

Phoebe: "They'll make nest...in the sewer. "

Phoebe:"Come on, let's see if there's anything else out tonight. "

Me: "Allright baby. "

Me: "Do you think that rattata will become a gastly?"

Phoebe:" No, I don't think so. "

Phoebe:"Do you know how many gastlys there would be if that were the case?"

Phoebe :"Rattatas get eaten all the time. "

Me: "Yeah, good point. "

Phoebe: "The city would be full of rattata ghosts. "

Me :"Yep. "

Phoebe: "I think it will move on peacefully. "

Me:" That's good. "

Phoebe: "Mhm. "

Me: "Would you still love me if I became a ghost?"

Phoebe: "If you became a ghost, I'd become a ghost too. "

Me: "What about Charley and Nina?"

Phoebe: "We can still be there for them...as ghost. "

Me: "But gastlies don't have any hands. "

Phoebe: "I don't really want to think about this anymore Cj. "

Phoebe: "Nothing's ever going to happen, and even if it does. "

Phoebe :"We'll be together forever, always. "

Phoebe: "Right?"

Me:"Right. "

We hugged it out for a moments.

Me: "Oh baby, I love you. "

Phoebe: "Love you too big boy. "

We kissed.

Me: "Now I really want to get home. "

Phoebe: "-giggles-, it's just a few blocks back to the car. "

Phoebe: "We'll make it. "

Phoebe: "Or maybe we can... "

Phoebe: "Nah..you were right earlier, it's best to wait till we're in bed. "

Me: "Yeah, nailing you out here would be a diservice, you are a princess after all. "

Phoebe: "Awwwwee...Cj... "

We kissed back and forth abit before she called it off.

Phoebe: "Ok we need to stop kissing, you know what will happen. "

-let down- Me: "Awwwe. "

Phoebe: "Come on loverboy. "

Phoebe: "The faster we get back the faster we can get home. "

Me :"Hehe. "

Phoebe: "But first, I want to see if there's any other pokemon out tonight. "

Me:"That's allright, makes the walk back more interesting. "

Phoebe: "Mhm. "

Me: "Although it's kind of hard to distract myself. "

Me: "From the one I truly love. "

Me: "The face I see before I fall asleep at night. "

Me: "And visit the stars above. "

Phoebe: "Awwe... "

Phoebe: "Did you make that up?"

Me: "Yeah. "

-enamored- Phoebe:"That's so sweet. "

Me:"It wasn't that great. "

Phoebe: "Still.. "

Phoebe: "Come on, let's get, then we can have some fun like you've been promising all day. "

Me:"I have haven't I?"

Phoebe:"Mhm. "

We heard a strange laugh behind us.

Gastly:"Ghahahahahahastly. "

The gastly from earlier appeared behind us again, laughing, it wasn't scary any more, we had gotten used to it by now.

Phoebe: "GET OUT OF HERE! How long have you been following us?"

-playfully- Gastly: "Gassstly.. "

Phoebe: "This is your last warning, if I see you again, I will catch you. "

Phoebe: "And then nobody will ever see you again. "

-sadly- Gastly: "Gasss... "

It slowly faded until it became invisible once again.

-unsure- Me: "Maybe it just wants to play?"

-jokingly- Phoebe:"If you want to stay here and play with it tonight that's ok. "

Me: "No, screw that nonsense. "

Phoebe: "-giggles-, I thought so. "

Phoebe: "I don't like how it plays, following us around, eavesdropping, trying to scare us everytime we have our backs turned. "

The ghastly reappeared behind her.

Phoebe:"It's behind me right now isn't it?"

I silently nodded.

-quietly- Gastly: "Gassstly.. "

Phoebe: "I'm not even going to acknowledge it. "

Phoebe: "just take my hand. "

Me: "Ok. "

She teleported us away.

Me :"Where are we now?"

Phoebe: "Shh, get out of the alley, before it sees us. "

Me: "Ok. "

Phoebe:" We're on the next street over. "

Me: "You could've of taken us back to the other street. "

Phoebe: "Couldn't see it. "

-in disbelief- Me: "Really?"

-playfully- Phoebe: "As far as you know. "

Me :"What's that supposed to mean?"

Phoebe: "I dunno. "

Me: "Really?"

Phoebe: "Mhm. "

Phoebe: "What are you doing?"

I gently pinned her to the wall.

Me: "If you can't focus you can't teleport. "

Phoebe: "Cj... "

Me: "No no, keep your eyes open. "

Phoebe: "Stop. "

Phoebe: "You're going to get the gastly's attention. "

Me :"I don't think so. "

Me:"Nanananananananananan. "

I was trying to be as annoying as possible.

Phoebe:"Stop, you idiot. "

Phoebe: "Ok I get it you can stop now. "

Me: "Not yet. "

Phoebe :"What do you mean?"

Me: "What is it?"

Phoebe: "I make you feel powerless when I say things like that, and you don't like it. "

Me:"-sighs-... "

Phoebe:"Can you let me go now?"

Me:"And?"

Phoebe:"I'm sorry. "

Me: "And?"

Phoebe: "I love you?"

Me: "And?"

Phoebe: "I don't know. "

Me: "And?"

Phoebe: "Ok that's enough Cj, seriously. "

Me:"And... "

Phoebe:"See it's fun isn't it?"

Me: "Well what do ya know?"

Phoebe: "Are we going to go home or are you just going to hold me here all night?"

Me:"Nah, I'll just hold you for a few more minutes. "

Phoebe: "I'd rather you let me go then force you too. "

Me:" I know, and I will let you go. "

Me: "In just a few minutes. "

Phoebe: "What's a few minutes?"

Phoebe: "Why not now?"

Me: "Because I said so. "

Phoebe: "Cj, really this is enough. "

Me: "Hehehehehehe. "

Me:"Ok. "

I let her go, she hugged me.

Phoebe: "Really, I'm sorry. "

Me:"It's not that big of a deal. "

Me:"I just wanted to mess with you. "

Phoebe:"Oh...you...naughty little. "

I kissed her before she could finish whatever she was saying.

Me:"You good?"

-enamored- Phoebe:"-sighs-, Yeah. "

Me: "Allright then, come on, let's go. "

Phoebe: "-sighs-, allright. "

-flustered- Phoebe:"You big goofball. "

Me:"Hehehe. "

We continued down the street.

Phoebe: "We'll cut back across at the next intersection and then we'll head back to the theatre. "

Phoebe:"Sound good?"

Me: "Fair enough. "

Phoebe: " Oh no. "

Me:"What?"

Phoebe: "There's a houndour. "

Me: "So. "

It came out of the alleyway and barked at us in a playful manner.

Me: "Oh don't worry about it baby girl. "

Me:"See, it's friendly. "

Phoebe: "It has a collar. "

Me: "That means it's friendly. "

It barked at us some more, and took an aggresive stance.

Phoebe:" Maybe not?"

Me: "Ehh. "

Me: "Just don't make any sudden moves, approach it slowly. "

She grabbed my hand and teleported us further down. "

Phoebe: "Come on, now we just have to cross the streets and we'll be back by the theatre. "

Me :"You didn't want to make friends with the houndour?"

Phoebe:" I didn't want to be its lunch. "

Me: "It wasn't going to attack, dogs just do that sometimes around people they don't know. "

Phoebe: "Yeah but if it did what was I going to do? It's a dark type, we don't have our pokemon with us..I don't have any potions, what if it bit your arm off or som... "

-interupting- Me: "Pheebles, it's a houndour, not a sharpedo. "

Me: "Relax. "

Phoebe: "-sighs-, sorry. "

Me: "It's allright, baby. "

Me: "Come one, we're almost back to the car. "

Me: "Then we can go home. "

Phoebe: "And... we have some fun. "

Me: "I thought we were already having fun?"

-mischeivously- Phoebe: "This is fun, but not the kind of fun I was talking about. "

Me: "Call me naughty...crazy girl. "

Phoebe: "-giggles-, let's just go. "

Me:" Ok. "

Eventually we made it back to the car, by then we were both madly in love.

When we finally arrived home we headed up to the bedroom, and as soon as we walked through that door Phoebe had my weapon out of my pants and in her mouth as soon as she possibly could. Unfortunately, because she was in such a hurry neither of us noticed that Corina was still awake, and not even 15 seconds passed before she walked in on us.

Corina: "Oh arceus. "

-shocked- Phoebe: "CORINA? Weren't you asleep?"

Corina: "I was gonna ask if I could stay the night because it's a long drive back to the city, but...I'll just go... "

They both teleported away, I put my thing back in my pants and..sat on the bed...like an idiot not really knowing what to do. I decided just to get ready for bed...not knowing when Phoebe would return.

-meanwhile, somewhere outside-

Corina: "Leave me alone Pheebles. "

-upset- Corina: "Go be with...you husband. "

Phoebe: "You've been crying all night haven't you?'

Corina: "I tried to stay calm...for Charley. "

Phoebe: "You'll find somebody, don't worry. "

Corina: "I'm 34, I'm still a virgin, you're 24, happily married, and you have that darling little baby boy. "

Corina:" What am I doing wrong?"

Phoebe: "Well Cj and I met by destiny so I have no idea. "

Phoebe :"How did Melissa meet James? "

Phoebe: "How did you meet that dick that cancelled at the last minute?"

Phoebe:"You're beautiful and you have eternity, don't worry. "

Phoebe: "Also you really want to lose your virginity? Cause we can fix that right now, Cj's waiting for me, he won't mind if you come too. "

Corina:"Are you serious?"

Phoebe: "As long as you keep it a secret. "'

Phoebe: "Besides, then I can show you how to keep a man. "

Corina:"Really?"

Phoebe: "Mhm. "

Phoebe :"When I had sex with Cj the first time he agreed to marry me right there. "

Corina: "Really? "

Phoebe: "Mhm. "

Phoebe: "Come on, he's waiting. "

The both went back in the house.

-whispering- Phoebe: "Ok, stay out here until I tell you . "

-nervous whisper- Corina: "Um, ok. "

-back to Cj-

I was about half asleep when Phoebe came back, crawled in bed next to me and kissed me.

Phoebe: "You forget?'

Me: "Nah, I just didn't know when you'd be back. "

Phoebe: "You still want me?"

Me :"-sighs-, you know I do. "

Phoebe: "What about Corina?"

-annoyed- Me: "God dammit... "

I had a feeling she was going to try something.

Me :"Pheebles, you know how I feel about this. "

Me: "And we were having such a good night baby why you gotta do this now?"

Phoebe: "No CJ wait...listen...she feels so alone right now. "

Phoebe: "She'll keep it a secret. "

Phoebe: "I can wipe your mind afterwards if you want. "

Phoebe: "But she really needs this. "

She pulled my thing out again and started gently stroking it.

-more annoyed- Me: "Pheebles... "

-seductively- Phoebe: "And I can show her the ropes, and restore her confidence. "

-seductively- Phoebe: "And you get two beautiful virgin gardevoir pussies to play with. "

Me: "Pheebles... "

Phoebe: "Mhm?"

Me: "You're not a virgin. "

Phoebe:" You know what I meant. "

Me: "And get your hands out of my pants. "

-desperate- Phoebe: "Cj... "

Phoebe: "Come on..please?"

Phoebe: "It will make this night so perfect. "

Corina: "It's allright, I'll just go home. "

Phoebe: "Corina... "

Corina: "He's not up for it. "

Phoebe: "Yes he is... "

Corina: "You know that's not what I meant. "

Corina: "And you had me under the impression he'd be ok with it, you lied to me. "

Phoebe: "No he is, just give me a minute he doesn't know it yet. "

Me: "What are you... "

-interupting- Phoebe: "Shhhhh. "

Phoebe:"Just giv me a minute. "

-cutely- Phoebe: Cj, please... "

dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit

Me: " . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "

Me:" If you cry after this... "

Phoebe: "I won't, I promise. "

Me: "Allright. "

She kissed me.

Phoebe: "Ok then. "

Phoebe: "Just lay back, we'll take care of everything. "

Phoebe: "Corina remember Charley's just down the hall so don't scream or anything or you could wake him. "

Corina: "Mhm. "

Phoebe: "Wait what are you doing?"

She touched my head.

-softly- Corina: "You know I have too. "

Phoebe: "Wait..stop...what?"

-softly- Me: "Mhm.. "

-sometime the next morning-

-tired- Me: "Pheebles, this is you right, I don't really remember and I don't want to open my eyes right now. "

-tiredly- Phoebe:" Mmmmmmmm...Whaaaaa?"

Phoebe:"Yeaaaaaaah it's me. "

Phoebe: "Corina went to take Nina to school for us so we could sleep in . "

Phoebe: "You should've seen her, she was so happy. "

Phoebe:"We did a good thing.. "

-unsure- Me :"What was that exactly?"

Phoebe:"We restored her confidence. "

Me:"You're not going to cry about taking her virginity?"

Phoebe:"No no no, Cj, she knocked you out, don't you remember?'

Me: "But I swear I saw... "

Phoebe :"It must have just been a dream. "

-suspicious- Me:"Are you sure? "

Phoebe:"Cj...I'm done lying to you. "

-suspicious- Me:"Is that before or after you told me it was just a dream?"

Phoebe:"Yes you dummy, we didn't do anything, she knocked you out, we talked for a bit, then she slept on the couch and I came back up here to be with you. "

Me: "She still stayed the night?"

Phoebe: "She really didn't feel like heading home. "

Phoebe: "It was after midnight Cj. "

Phoebe: " But we had a very long talk about things... "

Phoebe: "After she made me explain why you were so reluctant. "

Phoebe: "So I told her about Nya...and Cionna. "

Me:"You what?'

Phoebe: "I had to, to explain the situation. "

Me: "Ok...but... "

Phoebe: "Then she said that she wants to save herself for when she does find somebody. "

Me: "Ok. "

Phoebe :"So...it all worked out for the best. "

Me: "Eheh... "

Phoebe: "Now, this also means, that we never did anything last night. "

-naughtilly- Phoebe: "Sooo. "

Me: "Hehehehe. "

Me: "I love you baby girl. "

I put my arm around her and pulled her into a kiss.

-lovingly- Phoebe:" You want me?"

Me :"I'll take you baby. "

Phoebe:"Ok, just lay back... "

-interupting- Me:"No, you lay back. "

Me: "You just relax, and let me show you what you almost threw away last night. "

-enamored- Phoebe:" Oh Cj... "

We made sweet love as the sun peaked through the window blinds, announcing the beginning of a new day.

Like many mornings, for a while after we woke up, and even after we made love we just held eachother close, butt naked and enjoying the piece and tranquility that comes with an early winter morning.

Phoebe: "That was fun. "

Me :"Worth the wait?"

-lovingly- Phoebe: "Always. "

Me:"-sighs-, that's my baby girl. "

I gave her a kiss.

Me:"So what are we going to do today?"

Phoebe:" I don't know. "

Me: "Did you have a good time last night?"

Me:"Before that stuff with Corina happened?"

Phoebe:" Awwe of course Cj. "

Phoebe:"It was fun, it was nice to go out in the city without anything trying to hurt us. "

Phoebe:" Although the movie was kind of boring. "

Phoebe: "Can we just go for a walk next time, instead of a movie?"

Phoebe: "I liked that more. "

Me :"Next time we can walk anywhere you want baby girl. "

Phoebe: "Great. "

She kissed me on the cheek.

Me: "Ok, so now what?"

Phoebe:"Well, we still have to go to the lab in a little while. "

Phoebe: "But we have some extra time. "

Me:"That's nice. "

Phoebe:"So we can snuggle!"

Me:"Yep. "

-quietly- Me :"Or maybe round 2 in the shower?"

-lovingly- Phoebe: "Maybe. "

Phoebe: "If you're ready to go before Charley wakes up. "

Me: "Well why don't we just head over there now and plan on it?"

Phoebe: "Ok, go on, I'll bring some clothes. "

Me: "Allright. "

Not even five minutes later we were both in the shower together, making out, then we made love real quick, then we got out, got dressed, and headed back to our bedroom to snuggle for a little bit.

From there, it was only a few minutes until we heard Charley yelling loudly from the adjacent room.

-muffled,upset, yelling- Charley: "MAWA! CAWEY WA DOW! MAWA! WHEH-U-GOH!MAWWWWAAAAAA!"

-somewhat dissapointed- Phoebe: "Well, Charley's awake. "

Me: "Yep. "

Me :"We should probably go get him. "

Phoebe: "Mhm...probably. "

We both went over to his room to see him, when we came in he was clinging to the railing of his crib, already in a bad mood for no apparent reason.

-upset- Charley: "MAWA DAHWHY WHEH YOU GO?"

Phoebe:" We were just sleeping in the next room sweety. "

-concerned- Phoebe: "Why are you so upset this morning?"

Phoebe: "Did you have a bad dream or something?"

-upset- Charley: "Cawey miss. "

Phoebe: "We missed you too. "

She picked him up.

Me: "Is he allright?"

Phoebe: "He might have had a bad dream or something, I don't know, he might have been awake longer than we thought he was. "

-playfully- Me: " Why you so grumpy?"

He looked into her eyes, and said, rather matter-of-factly.

-unsure- Charley: "Mawa...Cawey dunno wa dawhy ses. "

Me: "Hehehe... "

Phoebe :"That's ok, you'll learn eventually. "

Phoebe: "Come on, let's get you dressed, and then you can watch tv with daddy, while I make you some pancakes. "

-excitedly- Charley: "TEEPHEE!"

Phoebe: "Mhm, your favorite thing. "

It wasn't a very eventful day, we headed to the lab about an hour later, we got sent into another portal, that led to a fairly boring world that was barely different from earth prior to the disaster.

It was another world that was too big to explore in one day, so we were called back once it's full size was more clearly understood, no space police, no nothing, just another, otherwise normal world with not really anything interesting about it whatsoever.

We came across many worlds like this, that were only different from pre-disaster earth in minor, insignificant ways, for instance, in one world, the most notable difference was that several of the state capitals were switched around. Las Vegas was the capital of Nevada, Manhattan was the capital of Kansas, and Miami was Florida's capital now, in addition, the southern border of Texas had moved 1 mile south, although this was barely noticeable on a map. Aside from that, it just wasn't a very interesting world, there was nothing else I could really say about it besides how normal it seemed.

We also spent a few days revisiting previous worlds that we were previously kept from exploring due to being too toxic, this took place in another lab down the hall. Being toxic and generally uninhabitable, these worlds were about as exciting as a desert, aka, there was litterally nothing going on in them whatsoever, it was like exploring the moon. We were in big clunky suits, and there was nothing around as far as the eye could see, which wasn't that far as a dense green fog covered everything.

In the morning and after we were done for the day, it was a bit awkward meeting Corina in the lounge after what happened last night. We also had an awkward conversation with Nina when we picked her up from school that afternoon.

Nina: "Why did Corina take me to school this morning?"

Phoebe: "She wanted to let us sleep in. "

Meanwhile, Charley accidently dropped his lotad plush on the floor.

Charley: "Lotah fah dow. "

Nina: "What happened?"

Phoebe: "Nothing happened. "

Nina: "Why are you blocking dad?"

Me :"You can do that?"

Charley:"Cawey cah geh lotah . . . "

Phoebe: "Because there's somethings you don't need to know. "

Me: "Mhm. "

Phoebe:'-sighs- Corina has a drug problem. "

-sternly- Me: "Pheebles . . . "

Sometimes she went a bit overboard with her lies .

Charley: "Cawey wa lotah. "

-disbelief- Nina: "Yeah right . . . . "

Nina: "Then again you're right I probably don't want to know . "

Phoebe: "Mhm . "

-upset- Charley: "mawa Cawey wah lotah, he fah dow, Cawey cah geh. "

Phoebe: "So, do you need to go to the pokemon center before we head home?"

Nina: "No, it's ok, I didn't get in any battles today. "

Phoebe: "Ohhhhh. "

Phoebe:"Then what did you do?"

Nina: "I watched some other people battle, and I also studied for my history test. "

Phoebe:"Ok, good. "

Phoebe: "Allright then, let's just go home Cj. "

Me: "Right. "

-upset- Charley: "CAWEY WA LOTAH!"

Phoebe: "What's wrong?"

-upset- Charley: "He fah dow! "

He staired at his beloved toy, unable to retrieve it as he was stuck in his car seat.

Phoebe: "Oh, your lotad fell down. "

Phoebe: "Nina can you get his toy for him?"

Nina: "Sure. "

-playfully- Phoebe: "There you go Charley, Nina will get it for you. "

Phoebe: "Just be careful not to drop it again. "

Nina: "Here you go baby brother. "

-cheerfully- Charley: "Lotah!'

Nina: "Mhm. "

The next day was incredible, as usual, they sent the probe in, however, unlike the usual, as soon as it dissapeared, a second probe emerged and drove into the lab from the other side, much to everyone's amazment. It was a spherical little thing, with a camera in the center, and it used the two "halves" of it's sphere as wheels, I've seen something like it before, but I can't remember where. It dragged a little white cord behind it, and it was oddly kind of cute as it wheeled in.

It was hard to focus on our own probe while this one was wheeling around.

Indeed the portal led to another lab. The probes were retracted, and we were sent in only to emerge from another portal, in another version of the lab, except this version was seemingly more hitech, and the scientists were gardevoirs.

gardevoir scientist :"Ga-gardevoir gar, gar voir voir! "

Me:" What?"

Phoebe: "Who are you?"

I barely caught sight of one leaving through the door.

gardevoir scientist :"Gardevoir... gar... garrrdevvoirrrr.. "

Phoebe: "Ohhhhh...you don't understand human . . . "

Phoebe: "Gardevoir..voirrr, voirrrr garrdevoir voir . . "

He seemed to understand her, whatever she was saying.

Phoebe: "Garrrrr devooooirr . . "

- a bit of incomprehensible conversation later-

Phoebe: "He says his name is Dr. Black. "

Phoebe: "He also said I speak with a weird dialect. "

Me: "Ooookay. "

Me:"Did you tell him who we are?"

Phoebe: "I did, and he said that that's impossible, we just went in, except you're supposed to be a gardevoir, and I'm supposed to be human. "

Me: "Well that's weird. "

Phoebe: "So that means they maybe came out on the other side?"

Me:"Maybe. "

Phoebe: "Ok. "

Phoebe :"Gar voirrrr!"

She waved goodbye as we headed back through the portal.

We never did meet our counterparts, they left our world the same time we left theirs. But when we got back of course we heard from Dr. Black what had happened, and out of curiosity we checked the security camera footage, just to see ourselves, for ourselves. It was weird, knowing that there were alternate versions of ourselves somewhere in the vast multiverse of things. Later on, shortly before we left, Corina seemed to be getting a bit depressed, as Melissa's pregnancy made her less sociable, she didn't really have anyone to talk to, and was kind of more alone than usual. Being who she was, Phoebe decided to go out with her that night, to try to set her up with somebody. I trusted her so, despite not really liking this idea, I let her go. She called me in later, after Charley was already in bed, and Corina was already talking to someone new, so I went and we hung out together for about an hour or so before heading home for the night, leaving Corina with her new friend.

Phoebe: "Hopefully they'll stay together. "

Me: "Who knows, these things take awhile. "

Phoebe: "It didn't take us very long. "

Me: "We were talking for weeks before we met though, before I even knew you were real. "

Phoebe: "True. "

Me: "They just met. "

Phoebe: "Mhm. "

She kissed me.

Phoebe: "See you at home. "

Me: "See you babe. "

Eventually we both made it home around midnight, we both went to bed shortly after, and that was it for the day.
