What A Thief Can't Steal

Party Crashers

Rose's POV:

"Okay... So you're telling us that your plan will either go without a hitch or get us noticed immediately?" Blade asked.

"Well, what do you suggest? Go out there and tell them that this Gardevoir we're carrying was not our doing after we had just chased her inside this room and spent some quality time alone here?" I sarcastically questioned.

"Uhh... Rose? I thought you were a master thief... I don't think what you suggested would be what a master thief would... uh... plan," Blaze scratched the back of his head,

A short silence fell over the three of us at Blaze's answer. I couldn't help but wonder how he had exceeded Master Rank with that kind of stupidity.

"Blaze... I was being sarcastic," I rolled my eyes.

"So, would you mind giving us a rundown of the plan again?" Blaze questioned.

"Okay, now... Here's the plan... I'll go and... uh... cause a diversion," I spat out the word diversion in disgust, "While you guys get out! Simple enough?"

"Yeah... What kind of distraction do you mean?" Blaze seemed to catch on, somehow finding the way I worded "distraction" odd...

"No questions asked!" I bitterly responded, keeping my thoughts to myself, "Once this is over, you guys are so gonna owe me for this one, just stand back and wait for my signal."

I then exited the room, leaving a small gap open for the two to see my hand signal later. The central chamber of the hideout was circular and we needed to get to the other side from that room to get out. I looked to my side and saw the Gengar that Ruse was talking to awhile ago. I gulped as I began to approach him.

The Gengar's eyes widened and his mouth curled upwards in a devious grin when he turned around to see me approaching him.

"Eheh! Rose! Changed your mind?" he rasped, his coarse voice reminding me of scraping metal.

"Changed my mind about what?" I gulped, trying to ignore the fact that those red eyes of his were examining me curiously as if I was some sort of specimen.

"You forgot? Hmm... That's not like you at all... You've been turning me down even before I get to complete my sentence and now you say you don't know what I'm talking about?" he coughed.

"Umm... No!" I retaliated back, feeling doomed that my guess of how he he would react to what I said was true.

"Hmm... That's odd... You don't seem like Rose... Come to think of it, you seem to be more fatter than her average size," he narrowed his eyes, inspecting me.

Fat? Did you just say fat? No wonder Ruse turned you down, you slimy pathetic- I cut my conscience off.

"Wait! What I'm here to say is... Err... I need your help," I gritted my teeth, trying to stop the urge of strangling him and causing a scene.

"Eh? What makes you think I'd help you?" the Gengar snorted.

"Well..." I began, gulping that I really had to use what I had planned in mind.

Don't say it, Rose! He called you fat! Don't you dare- my conscience rang.

"What was it that you wanted from me?" I choked out.
