*Hmm, hmm, hmmm!*
"Sis, what are you doing?"
Kieran watches as his older sister moves around the hotel room they are in. He's been sitting in the room for a while now, bored, while his sister was busy getting ready for something. Taking out a small hand mirror, she then works on her hair.
"Well if you must know..." Carmine said, then with a deep sigh, turns to her younger brother and smiles, "Florian asked me to the school dance that the Uva Academy is having because he is preforming some songs !" She then has a blush on her face as she turns her attention back to her mirror, applying some lipstick to her lips. "While I'm not surprised that he asked me to be his date, there's no way I'd turn him down! He is pretty cute after all!"
Kieran groans, not wanting to hear his sister fawning over Florian. Carmine never makes a fuss over anyone, but it would seem that Florian is different. Looking her up and down, that would probably explain the change in his older sister, and the dark blue dress that Carmine is wearing. He then wondered something.
"Is this why you dragged us to Paldea? I thought we were here on our break to explore this region?"
"We are," Carmine feigned, "but since we're here, no harm in going to one small dance!"
Kieran deadpanned, "Is that really the order things happened in?"
"Zip it, Kiki!"
Nice to see that things have gone back to normal with these two.
*Ding Dong*
They were soon startled by the sound of the room's doorbell ringing.
Carmine squealed, "He's here! How do I look?"
"Like a fool..." Kieran sassed. He then gulped as Carmine glared at him.
"Kiki!" She was shaking in place, teeth clenched, fists shaking. But now was not the time. She then composed herself, and opened the door, to greet her date. "~Hi Florian!~" Her greeting was full of cutesy fluff.
They both then complemented each other on their attire. He was decked out in a black tuxedo, with purple bowtie. And a tejana Very handsome in Carmine's opinion. And for Florian, Carmine can't wear a bad outfit.
Kieran had a different reaction in mind.
*Blegh!* He pretended to vomit in the background. Florian laughed, although a sweatdrop runs down his head, as he could tell Carmine was trying her best to not attack her brother. "Have fun, I guess." Kieran waved at them.
"Oh no, you're too young to be here all by yourself!"
Kieran blinked, "What? Then where am I supposed to go?" Carmine gave him an evil grin. "No way, I didn't bring a tuxedo!"
"Too bad! You should have thought of that sooner!"
"Hey, let go!" Kieran's cries of protest were ignored, as his big sister dragged him with her, asking Florian sweetly if he wouldn't mind if her kid brother tagged along with them. Not really having much choice, Florian agreed, although feeling bad that his friend was essentially now a carry-on.
Their chariot awaited: Florian's Miraidon. It was a tight squeeze, Kieran was miserable, but at least Carmine got to enjoy sailing through Paldea on the back of a Legendary Pokémon.
"Ah ha, there you are!" Florian's group was startled by the sound of a familiar, energetic voice. They turned back to see Nemona of all people, wearing her own purple dress. "Funny running into you here!"
