Red, Blue, and Leaf all made their way down from the airplane and into Kalos airport to retrieve their luggage from the conveyor belt. Red grabbed both his and Leaf's luggage, and Blue grabbed his.

"Hey, I'll catch up to you guys in a while." said Blue. "Gotta take these starter pokemon to Professor Sycamore."
"Sure thing." replied Red. "See you at Hotel Richissime."
Red let out Pikachu from his pokeball to see the sights. It was noon at Lumiose City, the city looked so well taken care of, with many cafés and shopping centers. Leaf couldn't help but gaze at the beauty of Lumiose City
"Red, it's so beautiful here." said Leaf with giddiness."
It sure is." said Red as he looked at his girlfriend, paying no attention to Lumiose City.
"We have to make our way to Hotel Richissime, so we can take our luggage." He said.
"Ok." said Leaf. "But after we're done, can we go look around?"
"Yes, we can." said Red.
Leaf smiled so brightly and gave Red a kiss on his cheek, which made his heart melt into a puddle.
Leaf took notice of Red's expression and smiled at it
"You're so cute when you blush, Red." said Leaf. "Maybe I should kiss you more often."
Leaf looks at Red with a sly smile, making him blush more. Pikachu looked away so as not to interrupt them.
"Don't test me, Leaf." said Red slyly. He grabs Leaf by her hips and holds her by her back. Red and Leaf look at each other with deep love in their eyes and are about to kiss until suddenly someone calls out.
"Hey guys!!!" yelled out a voice.
Red and Leaf look at where the voice is coming from, and they see Brendan and May hand in hand.
"What are you two doing here?" asked Red. "I thought you were on the flight with Ethan and everyone else."
"I guess Ethan didn't tell you there weren't enough seats on the plane, so May and I came here on Latios and Latias." said Brendan.
"Typical Ethan." said Leaf.
"Yup." responded May. "So how have the two of you been?"
"We've been good." responded, Leaf.
As Red and Brendan were catching up, May gave Leaf a look of wanting to talk alone with her.
"Do you mind giving us some time?" asked Leaf. "Why don't you and Brendan get us a taxi."
"Oh, sure thing." said Red. "Let's go, Brendan."
Red and Brendan went on ahead to get a taxi to Hotel Richissime, taking all the luggage.
Finally alone, May begins to ask Leaf some questions.
"So Leaf, does he know yet?" asked May.
"No, not yet." said Leaf. "I've been waiting for the right time."
"He needs to know." said May, concerned. She looks at Leaf with a concerned look. "You're my best friend Leaf, I just want you and Red to be ok."
"I know, May." said Leaf. "I'll tell him at the right moment."
"You promise?" asked May.
"I promise." said Leaf. "Does Brendan know, did you tell him?"
"No, what we talk about stays between us." said May.
"Do Lyra, Kris, and Dawn know?" asked Leaf.
May started to sweat slightly, at the sound of that.
"N-no." said May.
Leaf looked at May suspiciously, "Are you sure?"
"Y-yes." said May.
Leaf didn't believe her but chose to go along with it.
"Let's get back to Red and Brendan." said Leaf.
"Sure thing." said May.
Leaf and May made their way back to Red and Brendan so that they could make their way to Hotel Richissime.
As Red, Leaf, Brendan, and May got their suitcases into the taxi, they started making their way to Hotel Richissime. Leaf grabbed Red's hand, and she was happy but knew she had to tell him.
