Twins of Unova

*Chapter 8: Roxie🎶

I hummed a song while sitting on a bench while Nate was asking people questions about my sister's wareabouts. I was forced to wake up early over and over for the pass few days since we been here, so I didn't really have the energy to be excited and run off somewhere.

Nate always turned to see if I went somewhere, but I haven't ate yet, so I didn't bother trying to lose more energy and just played my Kalimba while softly singing to myself.

"I remember you and I, when I'm awake at night..." I sang acoustically like I do with anything I sang "so give it up for fallen glory, I never got to say goodbye... I wish I could ask for just a bit more time..." I looked down, holding back my tears "it's like, you still got the right to know what's going on... as I struggle to remember how you used to look and sound. At times I still think I can spot you in the crowd... every step I take, you use to lead the way... now I'm terrified to face it on my own..." My mind wasn't fully awake, so I could only think of the dream I had last night about my father. I almost didn't notice I was attracting an audience and had some money in my open bag

Song: You're not there by Lukas Graham

"Hm?" I looked around confused at everyone clapping for me. I smiled softly and waved "Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it" everyone complimented me before they went on their way. I put my instrument away while looking at how much money I earned "Well, I didn't expect that"

"You were dazed while playing and didn't even notice people surrounding you?" Nate walked back to me "You played beautifully" I smiled and looked at my bag, feeling shy on my small talent "You alright? I would expect you to jump up and hug me after complimenting you" I giggled and stood from my seat

"Sorry, but you won't get much out of me early in the morning" he looked confused "Let's go and eat now, I'm starving" I lifted my bag "And we can use the money I earned on accident!" He nodded and walked me to a cute little restaurant with a patio, where we sat and ate some yummy food. I hummed to myself, glad to finally eat something after not even eating yesterday

"Who was that song about?" Nate asked

"Oh, my father" I admit

"Your dad? Huh... Rosa didn't talk much about her dad. Is there a reason why she neglected to tell anyone about you and him?" I was about to respond before I looked to the side to overhear an argument between someone.

"Roxie, don't try to stop me!" Some old man in a captains uniform told a girl in a punk outfit "I'm off to Pokéstar studios to live up to my true potential! My dream is to be a ship captain and a movie star!"

"Get real"
"Get real!" The girl and I said at the same time "You're a captain already, aren't you?" The girl glared "if that ship doesn't move, you're going to cause allot of trouble!" The captain sighed.

"Oh, dear daughter. You split your time between your responsibilities as a gym leader and with your band, right? I can do that, too!" He waved and ran off to a random direction. The girl shouted out of anger and started talking gibberish, which made me laugh out loud.

"Cam!" Nate warned, whispering "Keep your voice down!" The girl appeared out of nowhere and slapped our table. Nate jumped while I casually smiled at her. 

"Hey! What's so funny?!" She glared at me "Me and my old man were having a private conversation!"

"Awe, sorry to break it to you, but if you're telling your business for the whole world to hear, it's not really private, is it?" I kept my smile on her irritated face with her eye twitching "I'm amazed you can be a gym leader and be in a band! You must be multi talented" she looked like she didn't expect my compliment and leaned away from the table "Don't be mad at your father. I'm sure he's just admiring how amazing you are, but looking into his logic, what he wants doesn't seem right" she crossed her arms and turned away.
