Soon Hau came to join us, waving happily 'Sun!' He called out as he joined our little group, smiling. 'Hey, Hau!' Sun smiled. 'Sup' I smirked while holding up a peace sign. 'Hey, and it's Lillie... Isn't it?! What happened to you?!' Hau raised his eyebrow with a grin at the girl's new clothing. 'Yes, it's me! Now I'm ready to use my full force, too!' Lillie giggled. 'You look... fantastic!' Hau smiled, his cheeks were slightly pink 'What was that?' Gladion growled as he glared as the energetic boy 'N-Nothing!' Hau gulped 'I ship it!' I giggled as I placed my hands on my hips. The pair blushed madly and looked away, Lillie was scratching her cheek and Hau was rubbing the back of his neck. 'Megan! It's not like that!' They both squealed while Gladion was hitting me with a hardcore death stare 'Uh Oh, Overprotective brother alert' I whispered to Sun 'I know right? It's like he's staring into your soul' He whispered back.

'A-Anyway, I'm gonna train even harder! I've gotta do more!' Hau told us 'I keep getting saved by Sun and his Pokemon, don't I? That's not enough. I've gotta be able to save Pokemon on my own! If I can't do that, I'll never be an island kahuna. I'll never be able to make people really smile!' He put his hands behind his head 'And I still haven't even done Acerola's trial or anything. I've got a lot of catching up to do.' I stared at the boy and smiled 'You really have come a long way from when we first met, haven't you Hau?' I chuckled as I crossed my arms.

'Sorry for dragging you into our family mess.' Gladion mumbled while frowning 'Yeah... But we got to see things almost no one would ever get the chance to see! Maybe if I set out to train harder, I'll get to see more amazing things like that again!' Hau grinned, Which caused me to click my tongue 'Nevermind...' 'Yeah. Our mother does like to do things on an... extravagant scale.' Gladion rolled his eyes sarcastically 'I was really glad you came, too, Hau.' Lillie smiled 'You too, Sun, Megan' Hearing this made me blush slightly, causing me to turn my head away and rub the back of my neck 'Y-Yeah... No problem...' I mumbled. 'I can get you to the next island at least. Poni Island. I'll wait for you at the docks. Let's go, Megan' Gladion ordered before walking off 'You know I'm not your Pokemon anymore, so you can stop ordering me around.' I puffed my cheeks and placed my hands in my pockets. 'Just get a move on...' The blonde sighed 'Fiiiine...' I grunted as I followed him to the docks.

(Slight Time Skip)

Gladion and I were waiting for Sun and Lillie at the docks, it was kinda awkward since neither of of said anything. I was sitting on the railings while Gladion was standing by the boat. I suddenly saw him rub his arm in discomfort which struck concern through me 'How are they?' I murmured 'What?' Gladion stared at me with confusion 'Your arms... they're not causing any discomfort, are they?' I asked as I jumped down from the railings, and walked up to him 'I'm fine, they're just a bit itchy. That's all...' He replied bluntly, this made me think for a moment '... Hey, I got some ointment and clean bandages in my bag if you ever need them' I shrugged, placing my hands in my pockets. Gladion seemed to think about this for a moment, before slowly nodding his head. 'Thanks...' he mumbled as he turned his head away. 'No problem, Edgelord' I replied with a mocking tone. 'Can you stop calling me that?!' Gladion growled. 'Hehe, not a chance.' I replied with a smirk.

'Hey, lovebirds~' A voice giggled from behind us 'Huh?' Gladion and I turned to look at the person in confusion, revealing Lillie who was on the verge of exploding 'What? Why are you looking at us like that?' I frowned, confused at the younger girl's behavior 'Oh, no reason~' She chirped as she tapped her chin 'Uh huh... Sure' Gladion crossed his arms. 'Anyway, I got you guys some water from the vending machine. So here ya go.' Lillie smiled as she handed the two of us a bottle of water each. 'Hey thanks, I was getting kinda thirsty to be honest.' I smiled as I gladly took one of the bottles, opening the lid I started to drink the contents. 'Yeah, thanks Lillie...' Gladion murmured as he took the other bottle from his sister. A few minutes of silenced passed, until Lillie spoke again. 'So. When's the wedding?'

I spat out my drink and stared at her in shock 'WHAT?!' I yelled between coughs. 'Lillie It's Not Like That!' Gladion blushed madly as he flicked his sister on the forehead. Before going over to help me with my coughing fit. 'Owww, okay I'm sorry. I just ship Megdion Sooo Hard' Lillie whined as she rubbed the red mark on her head.

(Sorry for the s**t ship name...)
