"What's this?" Moon asked aloud, finding a letter addressed to her in the stack of mail. Meowth looked up at her and titled it's head in confusion.
"It's from Dad" Moon said, plopping down on the couch next to her mom.
Her mom scowled, "What's he want?" She hissed.
"I don't know I haven't opened it yet" Moon said, smirking.
Her mother rolled her eyes and flipped through the tv channels, "Open it then"
Moon ripped open the envelope to find an invitation of sorts inside. It was a cream colored paper with fancy purple lettering showing details of...
Moon's smile faded.
"Well, what's it say?" Moon's mother asked impatiently.
"Dad's..." Moon mumbled, "Dad's getting married..."
Moon's mother froze, the tv landing on some cooking show. Meowth looked up at her in concern.
She shook her head, "I'm fine! That's great. Good for him" she said, her voice a few octaves higher than usual.
"Mom? Are you gonna be okay?" Moon asked, concern lacing her voice.
Moon's mother nodded swiftly, "Yep! You go, honey. Don't worry about me"
Moon frowned and looked back down at the invitation in her hands. She blinked in surprise.
"I got 'And guest'" She said.
"What?"
"I got 'And guest'" Moon repeated, "I get to bring someone?"
"Oh wow..." Moon's mom sighed.
"Are you sure you're gonna be okay with this?" Moon asked.
Her mother nodded, "Go Moon. Bring that boy you like" she said, waving her hand around.
Moon blushed and looked back at the invitation, "Do you think he'd come with me?"
"Why wouldn't he?"
"Well he's not my boyfriend...but he is my friend"
Moon made up her mind, "I'll ask him"

Moon swung open Gladion's door without knocking, "Gladion I need to talk-"
"Don't come in!" The blonde screeched. Gladion quickly slammed his laptop shut and hid it under his covers.
Moon raised an eyebrow, "Am I interrupting something?"
Gladion relaxed, "Oh Moon it's just you" he sighed, taking his laptop back out and opening it, "No you're not interrupting, come in"
Moon closed the door behind her and sat at the foot of Gladion's bed, "What are you doing?" She asked hesitantly.
Gladion didn't look up from the screen, "Shopping for Mother"
"Oh right, her birthday" Moon said, sighing in relief, "May I suggest pictures of herself?"
Gladion rolled his eyes, "Lillie's already getting her that" he said. He looked up at Moon in confusion, "What did you think I was doing?"
Moon felt her ears grow hot, "N-Nothing!" She stammered, looking away.
Gladion thought for a few seconds, then scoffed, "No I wasn't doing that" he said.
Moon coughed, "Got it"
"So what's up?" The boy asked, returning his attention to the computer screen.
