"Hildaaa!!" The door to the house was practically thrown open as Bianca made her appearance, stopping all conversations. She threw herself at her best friend just as the brunette had left the room she'd been resting in. Despite everyone's nagging, she assured she was fit enough to get out of bed.

"Bianca..." Hilda internally groaned as she found herself wanting to cry again after just recovering from a tearful reunion with Rosa. Movement by the front door caught her attention as a familiar boy stepped in, staring with wide eyes like he was witnessing a ghost. "Cheren?" She gave a squeak as he, too, joined the hug as quick as lightning.

"I missed you so much!" Bianca whimpered.

"I know, and I'm sorry..."

Rosa, Hugh, and N smiled as they entered the main room, patiently awaiting Hilda's point of view of everything that happened thus far. There was so much to say and nobody knew where to start.

Hugh nudged his dear friend, earning her attention. "So, you have all your badges?"

"Mhm!" She nodded excitedly, eyes sparkling. "That, and everything is right in the world!"

Cheren pulled away, blushing in embarrassment as he wiped his tears and cleared his throat. "Isn't it too soon for optimism?"

"I don't think it is." N hummed, supporting Rosa, before glancing away nervously as Cheren looked back at him.

"N..."

"Cheren... You look well."

"You look... the same."

Bianca finally released Hilda and pouted. "Don't be such a meanie, Cheren!" Her friend waved his hands around in disbelief, saying that he wasn't doing anything.

Hilda sighed lightly and placed her hands on their backs, offering a sweet smile. "Let's calm down. The priority at the moment should be to answer every and all questions." With that, Anthea and Concordia set up the dining table with plates of snacks and, of course, tea. This was going to take a while after all.

Rosa was quick to take a seat next to her cousin with Cheren and Bianca on the older brunette's other side, while Hugh took the other spot next to Rosa. N opted to sit across from them, his sisters picking the chairs on either side of him. He was still hesitant of Hilda's presence as well as her two friends, something she didn't fail to catch. She herself felt awkward being near him, memories coming back with full force, but she managed to hide it well. For a moment, she wanted to be frozen again.

"Hilda." Rosa snapped her out of it. "What made you come back?" She began, eyes rounding in curiosity. "Especially at such a convenient time." N seemed to be wondering the same thing.

"Call me crazy..." Hilda grinned sheepishly. "Last week, I had this... dream. Unova- no, the WHOLE WORLD was frozen over! Ghetsis's laugh was echoing in my head the entire time!" She then glared at her cup of tea. "Not only that, Reshiram told me she sensed that Kyurem was in danger, so if there was any reason to come back, this one took the cake." She explained. "Kyurem may look like monster, but it truly isn't one. It means no harm."
