Double Journey (Pokemon Fanfic)

Double Journey Chapter 26

Amethyst sat in between Diamond and Red as the movie began, eagerly shoveling popcorn into her mouth. Across the theater, Harper and Silver were sucking face. The stewardess sat unconcerned, as they were at a rated R movie.

Red turned Amethyst back to face him and kissed her cheek. She leaned back on his shoulder as the movie began.

At the end of the movie, Magma was thrashing in his seat. His favorite character, The Magic Aggron, had just died. Green tried to console him, but to no avail.

Red and Amethyst walked out of the theatre, holding hands.

"So what was your favorite part?" She asked him as Magma scrambled over, holding his popcorn bucket between his jaws.

"When Lairon tried to make a peace offering to the Banette tribe." Red said just as they were joined by Diamond. "Let's let our Pokemon stretch their legs!" She said. Red and Amethyst nodded.

Amethyst's Pokemon stretched out. Nidoking cracked his knuckles, Arcanine bowed, stretching his paws out. Latios flew around the room at high speed and Salamence stretched his wings. Amethyst walked over and kissed each of their foreheads, and Magma's.

Diamond's Galaceon and Arcanine were sniffing around. When they turned to face eachother, their noses met, and when Glaceon looked into Arcanine's eyes Amethyst swore she heard Altaria singing!

Steven and Lynn approached. "Hey Amethyst, Diamond. Those Pokemon look amazing. How often do you brush them?" Steven asked. "Every night," they said in unison.

"You should enter them in the upcoming Verdanturf Contest. It would be a good experience," Steven continued, as they were joined by Ruby. Amethyst felt all of the hairs on the back of her neck rise as he put his arm around Diamond, who smiled and kissed him. At this point, Amethyst had to lean on Red for support. Arcanine came to stand by her and growled at Ruby, who had dissed his pelt condition when he was in a life threatening state. Amethyst rested her hand on his back, calming him a little.

"Diamond... what are you doing with Ruby...?" Lynn questioned.

"Yes. Do tell." Amethyst stated.

Diamond glanced around and broke away from Ruby. "He's my boyfriend, okay?" She averted everyone's gazes, returned her Pokemon, and walked out of the theater.

"Hrrk!" Amethyst tripped on the sidewalk, nearly falling, but caught by Latios. "Do you have to be such a clutz?" Harper laughed mockingly. Amethyst held back an icy retort, flipped her hair over her shoulder, and walked a bit faster. She had a lot on her mind. The drama of the movie theater mixed with personal problems, like her deep hatred for Ruby. How could he? How could he?!

Diamond and GOLD were the perfect couple. Ruby was just King Neat-Freak DOUCHEBAG.

At least Amethyst didn't have to worry about her and Red splitting up over some other guy.

Well there might have been a time when...

SHUT UP CONSCIENCE. No one has any time fo' this.

Amethyst entered the Pokemon Center before anyone else did, Magma scrambling to catch up. The Typhlosion burst through the door before it swung shut.

Surprisingly, she wasn't the only one in their room at the Pokemon Center. Amethyst was nose to nose with a shiny Riolu, who hung from the door frame. It stuck its tongue out at her, backflipped onto the bed, grabbed Green's bag of snacks and was about to Aura Sphere her to the Distortion World and back when Amethyst spoke. "Hey! Green'l kill you if he finds out you took that...here." She reached into her own bag and pulled out a smaller satchel bag she had made when she went through a crazy sewing phase.

She handed the stunned Riolu the bag, and shoveled some Twinkies into it. The Riolu winced at her touch, but the food was so tantalizing the little Pokemon didn't move. "Come back later and I'll give you more, if you like."

She said gently. Riolu nodded with gratitude, and shot up and out of the window with a tiny "Ri!", its pelt sparkling.

Amethyst and Arcanine snuggled under a blanket, Amethyst was playing his favorite show, Caesar Milan's Poke Whisperer. Suddenly the blanket was pulled off of them with a flourish--Red stood there, with his hand extended. "Shall we go and see the stars?" he asked.

"We shall," Amethyst smiled, getting up and following him. Atop a large hill, away from the city, they layed out a quilt. And sat down together. Amethyst was still only wearing the camisole, so she was pretty cold. Red wrapped his arms around her, and they layed down, snuggling. "Look, Red! It's Khione, the Dewgong!" She pointed to the constellation. "And Embres, the Flareon!"

Red smiled, and Amethyst tipped up her face to look into his deep red eyes. She played with a strand of his black hair, and averted her gaze back to him. She leaned closer, until they were chest to chest. She could feel him breathing, she could feel his heart pounding against her own. "I don't know if you know this yet, but I love you." Red said smoothly.

"I bet I love you more." Amethyst closed her eyes and their lips brushed, but they didn't fully kiss. She opened her eyes again, and Red did too-they were so close she could see every eyelash! And then they kissed. Lightly at first, and then fully and deeply. Amethyst never wanted to pull away, not ever. The security she felt at that moment was the greatest feeling of security she'd had since Lance had--nevermind. She didn't want to think of that now. All that mattered was Red.
