A Couple of Special Kids

Azure.

Hayune was lying down on a soft bed in a room void of any decorations other than a picture of flowers. This was going to be his room while he serves his time for trespassing. He didn't mind it too much; the room was very comfortable and would be even more so when he gets stuff furnished and decorates a little. It was way comfier than that holding cell, that's for sure. He wished he could've gotten a bit of sleep, though. He was way too nervous to do that for some reason. When he gets up from the bed and out to the hall, he hears other grunts making a few remarks about his habit off cuddling the small broken Celebi doll, but he paid them no attention. He goes to get ready, clips the Celebi doll back onto his bag, and then goes to meet Azure where she said to wait for her. After a while of waiting, he curls up against the wall, retrieves a journal from his bag, and writes a bit while he waits. All he wrote was an entry about his sleepless night, and excitement to be travelling with Azure. As he hears someone walk towards him, he quickly hides away the book again.

There azure stood, wearing a sky blue t-shirt, black short-sleeve coat, boots and skirt with pink border designs on each, blue moon and red star earrings, black and pink striped fingerless gloves and thigh high socks with the same design. Hayune smiled brightly at her.

"Let's get going. There's a lot we have to do." Azure says.

She helps him up, and they are on the move. Hayune makes sure to keep an eye on his surroundings this time. He thinks his dad deserves to know where his friend has been all this time. Sure, it would get Hayune in a lot more trouble, but he didn't care at all.

"So, what are we doing today?" Hayune asked.

"We have to check up on a few branch-off bases. And, if enough time is left over after that, we get some supplies from a local store and head straight back to base after." Azure answers.

"Alright... what supplies are we gonna be getting?" Hayune asked.

"Well, there's a mini fridge in my room, so I was thinking just a few drinks for myself and a few things Mom asked me to get for her. That's about it." Azure says.

"Hmm... okay." Hayune says, a slightly disappointed tone to his voice.

They move on a bit, and a few minutes of silence passes between them.

"Can I get something?" Hayune asked.

"If you have your own money, I suppose so. What do you want?" Azure asked.

"I don't know yet. Depends on what's in the store." Hayune said.

"Alright. Fair enough." Azure says, moving ahead a bit.

"Yay! Where are we going, anyhow?" Hayune asked.

"Azalea, Ecruteak, and the outskirts of Goldenrod and Mahogany. It'll take a while to get there, but we have flying types. I just feel like getting exercise in on my way to Azalea. Anymore questions, Hayune?" Azure says.

"Hmmmm... not really. OH! Can I call you Azy sometimes?" Hayune asked.

"Fine. Whatever. Sure." Azure answers.

"Nice! It's just like old times!" Hayune says with a giggle.

Azure rolls her eyes a little. Hayune really didn't loose that childhood innocence of his, did he? The two move onto azalea town, where Azure greets a few people that didn't even look like they belonged to a team of any kind. They report to her a strange glow from the ilex forest a night or two ago, and a figure wandering around not long after that in a white uniform, seeming lost, then seeming to disappear again. Azure tells them she'll go look into it, and decides to do that right after finishing the talk. The notion makes Hayune a bit nervous, and he decides to speak up about it.
