Morning.
Although with a splitting headache and an aching body, I felt pretty good about today.
"...Everything hurts..." I groan...
Beginning to sit up, I stop.
"...Guys..."
Ralts and Celebi both snoozed comfortably on top of me.
"...Now what..."
As if on queue, Bea pops out of the ground.
"You're awake. Now leave."
"...Bea, at least look in my direction when you say that."
Turning, she stops half way.
"...How do you know my name?"
"...Oh. That... I asked Bun about your names. I'm Souta. I don't know about these two though." I point at my chest.
"...Anyways, "Souta", you guys seriously need to leave."
"Right now? What for?"
"Houndoom. 3 of them."
Eyes widened, I shake the other 2 awake.
"Alrighty, up and at 'em. We need to go."
"MmMmMmMMM CAN YOU STOP SHAKING ME!?" Celebi was awake.
"Sorry, but we seriously need to leave, or else we're the next ingredients for Houndoom's Dog Food."
Immediately, Celebi was up from my chest, and straight into the air, almost hitting their head on the tree.
"God damn Fire-Types. Ruining my sleep. HEY! FINHEAD! LET'S GO!"
"...I'm up. Can you be any louder?" Ralts was awake now as well.
"One word. Houndoom." I said.
...Just like Celebi, they immediately got up, nearly ramming into the Large Root nearby.
"God damn Fire-Types. Taking my Dreams. WELL!? WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR!? LET'S GO!" She shouted.
'...Like Sisters...'
As I got up, I stopped again.
Sitting on my legs was Bun, clearly awake, but shaking uncontrollably.
"...Um... Bun? I'm sorry, but we really need to hur-"
They began clinging harder.
"...Bun?" Bea stepped closer.
"...Stay..."
"...Stay? What do you..." Bea stopped.
"...I want him... to stay..."
"...What? ...Bun, this isn't the time. Him and his friends need to leave. It's too dangerous for them to stay here."
"...Then... ...I'll go."
"Bun, no! You and I both know how bad it is out there! We haven't even known each other for a Day! What reason could you POSSIBLY have to want to go with them!?"
"The... Houndoom..."
"And that's exactly WHY they need to leave! The Houndoom can't catch us, but they'll most definitely find some freakshow with a Shiny!"
"But... But..."
Tears streamed down her face as she began to cling tighter.
Bea let out a heavy sigh.
"Bun... No. We can't go, and they can't stay. That's. Final."
Even more tears formed.
...A moment went by in silence, until she finally let go.
