A little love story between Lucario and Braixen

Friendship Forever

"Come on; I heard they are serving pizza today!" a random voice yelled, startling Asriel out of his work, unaware that the lunch bell had ringed already. Getting up from his computer, Asriel left the classroom, a lunch kit in paw; from the second-floor edge, Asriel could see that the lines were already getting jammed. 'Glad I packed my lunch today' Asriel thought, smiling as he walked down a side set of stairs; he had pizza packed in his lunch anyway.

When he got to the cafeteria, Asriel looked around till he saw Brittney at a table, talking with Frost. Making his way over to them, he called out Brittney's name, getting a smile from the braixen as he sat down. "Hey Asriel," Brittney said, leaning over and giving him a peck on the cheek before sitting up right as Asriel blushed faintly. "So, what is the plan for today love birds?" Frost asked them with a chuckle. "Well, just school work for the most part; we got a test we need to study for" Brittney answered as she opened her lunch box, taking out a bowl of watered ramen. Using Ember, Brittney cooked her noodles before digging in with a pair of chopsticks, Asriel taking out his lunch, which was a sandwich, two apples, a bag of sour cream/onion chips ( a personal favorite!) three slices of pizza (In a plastic container) and a small serving of vanilla ice cream (again, another favorite), a side of mashed potatoes and a small bowl of ranch dip.

Frost and Brittney just stared at him and all of the food he pulled out, anime- falling when he pulled out a pint of milk. "What? My mom really over packs for me" Asriel defended, blushing furiously as he picked up his sandwich. "Asriel, Brittney?" a voice suddenly asked, a light, nervous one. When Asriel turned, he was surprised to see Nightmare sitting there, a tray in his paws. "Oh hey, Nightmare; go ahead and take a seat! We have plenty of room," Asriel said, waving to the six other seats open in their circular table. "Thank you; I couldn't find anywhere to sit," Nightmare said, taking a seat away from everyone else, but still close enough to where they could hear him. "Not a problem," Asriel said, stealing a quick look at Nightmare's lunch only to see an apple there, nothing else. "Here; take what ever you like," Asriel said, letting Nightmare have some of his over abundant lunch. "No, it is okay; I will be fine," Nightmare said; his stomach protested loudly. "It is okay Nightmare; I won't be eating all of this anyway," Asriel replied with a slight chuckle.

When Nightmare still looked unsure, Asriel put two slices of pizza, an apple, the dip and half of his bag of chips (not the small one, but a family sized bag). "Eat up," Asriel said, the Umbreon looking stunned. "Thank you, Asriel," Nightmare said, smiling to the Lucario before he began to eat the food. "You know, we don't know much about you" Brittney suddenly said, getting Nightmare to startle a little mid bite. "Well, what would you like to know?" Nightmare asked when he cleared his throat.

"What do you like to do for fun?" Brittney asked first. "I like to read a lot, and listening to music" Nightmare replied, pulling out a copy of City of Bones for them to see out of his back pack. "Cool. What do you like to listen to?" Asriel asked. "Well, I really like the Vocaloid Miku, the singer of Insanity," Nightmare said, looking a little giddy.

"What are  your parents like?" Asriel asked after a little talking, curious about his family. The Umbreon just gazed down with closed eyes, his body shaking as his paws clenched. Asriel felt a such a deep pang of depression that it brought tears to his eyes, but he fought them down as best he could; it was a losing battle. "W-what happened?" Asriel asked, his voice raw. "My parents left me when I was just an Eevee. I just thought they were going away for a while like they used to, but I heard from my aunt Linda that they were murdered. I was an orphan living alone; my family cared nothing for me and I went to the funeral alone. I buried them myself under an apple tree; they wanted that" Nightmare spoke, sobs threating his voice. All three of the other Pokemon at the table looked at each other, unable to speak for a moment.

"Nightmare, we are your friends, Asriel said in a comforting tone. "If you ever need us, we are there for you" Brittney added, making the Umbreon look up them with tears streaming down his face. "When you want to talk, just jump your fence; I live behind you," Asriel told Nightmare, Brittney telling him that she was Asriel's neighbor. "Come over for breakfast on Saturday, okay? I am making French Toast," Brittney added, writing down her and Asriel's addresses on a slip of paper for him. "Thank you.... friends" Nightmare said, a small smile on his face. "Not a problem," Asriel said, smiling back to the Umbreon as they continued there meal.

When the bell rang ten minutes later, Asriel asked Nightmare if he could come over to his house. "I think my mom would like to meet you if you are going to hang out; she is sure to like you," Asriel said, thinking of ways to introduce them to each other. "Thank you, Asriel," Nightmare said as they cleaned up their table. "No problem; come over around six, okay?" Asriel asked. "Sure" Nightmare replied with a smile and nod.

Well, that is all for this part folks! NIGHTMARE! (cries to self) WHY DID YOUR PARENTS DIE?!?!? I hope to see you all soon (sniffs) till then!
