[Did someone say uninvited guests?]

[Oh hey. It was the white wolf again. Red raises a hand in greeting.]

[Ammy waves back, as shown in the icon.

She then makes herself at home by the side of his bed.]

[He looks over to where Amaterasu has settled herself upon. She looks content enough.]

Good day?

[There's no reason why it wouldn't be. It's a beautiful day, after all. Not the kind of day to be spending indoors, wouldn't you say?]

[He tilts his head at Ammy and looks out the window, it is rather nice out but there's that pile of homework that needs to get done. Red is a good student, promise.]

Maybe...

[As long as you remember to take a break now and then. She yawns and curls up to nap.]

[Don't worry about me Ammy! Red just settles on watching her settle to nap before continuing to finish off his work.]

[Marie knew it was coming. It had to at some point. That didn't mean he had to like it. But, soon after Marie saw Red's message, he made his way over to the trainer's dorm. He poked his head inside just a bit.]

You wanted to talk to me?

Yeah.

[Red stood up from his bed and walked over to the door, pulling it open. He gestured for the Squirtle to come inside.]

[Marie's concern clearly showed on his face. He hesitantly wandered into Red's room, and he hovered by his trainer's bed. A little while had passed since his fight, but Marie was still looking a little beat up. He pulled up his hood; a sign that he was feeling anxious.]

...What about?

[Closing the door as best as he could behind him, Red sat down on his bed and looked straight up at the Squirtle.]

You tell me.

[God, that look was unnerving. Marie couldn't stand to keep eye contact and shifted his glance to some other part of Red's room. He took his time responding. Although he didn't really address Red's comment.]

...Do you think I'm a good Pokemon?

You are, but that doesn't answer the question.

[Marie, Marie. All he wants you to tell the truth and be forward about it rather than him trying to painfully wring it out of you.]

[Marie frowned, feeling a little embarrassed. At least Red still thought he was a good Pokemon...]

I got in a fight with Bulba. What do you want to know?

[Red believes in all his Pokemon. Marie and Bulba punching each other was just out of the ordinary. Especially Marie, who was timid and always needed a little nudging.]

Why you did it would be good.

He made me upset, and I wanted to talk to him about it. He told me to calm down and started to walk away. So I... I dunno. I hit him.

[That feeling of "my trainer is probably disappointed in me" washed over Marie like a tidal wave. It was a horrifying feeling, but Marie just maintained his frown.]

You're more than welcome to hit Green Team in a friendly manner. Sasha, Vinnie, Char and Rhys do it. But they know it doesn't mean anything.

[Red stands up and moves over to the window to look out of it.]

How did he make you upset?

[He hesitated again. There was nothing friendly about his relationship with anyone on the Green Team, and there was certainly nothing friendly about Char in particular. Marie wrinkled his nose.]

The way he acts with the rest of our team... I don't like that. And he started talking to Spinny, and... I don't know. I just can't up with it.

...?

[He turned around and tilted his head in confusion.]

I don't understand. What about the way he acts?

You know how he is with Vinnie.

[He grit his teeth, remembering what Bulba had shouted at him about it. He let out a heavy sigh when he thought about what Vinnie had told him- multiple times now.]

They act like they're brothers. Just because they're both 'saurs. You know, Vinnie was upset about a lot of stuff. He didn't want to tell me about any of it, but he told Bulba. That kind of thing... that's not right. You don't shut your teammate out and tell your rival everything.

Then Sonny went and practically threw his birthday party for him. Spinny thinks he's so great because he opened his mouth to say hi. I feel like everyone's crazy for Bulba except for me.

[He paused. How long had he been drooling...?]

Vinnie hates me.

[Red raised an eyebrow at this. Was this what this was all about?]

Vinnie doesn't hate you, but he's probably not happy you punched Bulba.

[He sits down in his chair, still looking straight at Marie. He really wants to get to the bottom of this - more for Marie's sake than his.]

Green's my rival. Do you think I hate him?

I don't care if he doesn't like that I punched him. He had it coming.

[Marie sort of wished he could just pop into Squirtle form and curl up in his trainer's lap. Conversations were overrated...]

I don't know. I guess not.

[He's not going to let you do that even if you wanted to Marie. But Red is just very disappointment in Marie. Red thought you knew better than that. He feels bad now because it's like he hadn't trained his Pokemon properly. And though their interaction with others was always out of their grasp, Red felt responsible for them.

So he's just going to sigh and look out the window, his heart heavy.]

[Red didn't reply, and Marie became aware that he was definitely disappointed in him. If he had been holding in tears before, Marie couldn't help it anymore. He sat down beside his trainer and managed to let out a quiet sob.

He didn't say anything else.]

Sonny had wandered in a while ago to chill, and had wound up napping pretty quickly. He'd been up late last night, and he was glad Red was never fussed about letting him borrow the bed for a power nap.

Eventually he opened his eyes and gave a loud yawn, stretching his arms up in the air and grinning as the vertibrae in his back popped and cracked. "MMMMPH that was a good nap!"

Red didn't even turn around when he heard Sonny wake up. He was doing his homework and dutifully writing things out on his computer. What did surprise him though, was the precise amount of time Sonny napped. It was like an art.

"Early morning?"

"Yep! I was up late last night!"

There was a tone of pride in Sonny's voice as he rolled his body upright to sit on the edge of his Trainer's bed. He rubbed his eyes and yawned, scratched his hair with his fingernails. It felt good waking up in Red's room with him here. He'd missed that.

"Sonny, I have to ask..."

He shifted around slightly uncomfortably as he tried to think of the best way to say this without being too rude about it.

"What's this about Voile and Riwane?"

Red really just pulled those two names without knowing who they were, apart from they were both girls who were close to Sonny. He wanted to clear the air around that.

"Well, Riwane is a charmander, and she's a good friend of mine." Sonny replied, shifting down the bed a little so he was directly across from Red. "We met not long after she showed up at school here. Her. Um. Her trainer died. And she came here alone... so... I've been trying to be there for her as much as possible. She seems to be pretty happy, but it must be lonely to one day have a trainer, then not, then come here to a place where you don't know anyone, you know?"

A deep frown crossed his face. He still felt terrible whenever he thought about how she must have felt when her trianer passed away. Frankly, it made him want to wrap Red up in a giant bear hug. But he resisted that tremptation.

....for now.

"Voile?" His frown lessened. "Voile is.... wonderful. We met in the greenhouse and then we had dinner. I helped her set up the party for Bulba and we've spent a lot of time together. I took her on that date I mentioned, and I think it went pretty well."

Finally, he was smiling again. ".....she's really special."

Red couldn't help but let a little smile cross his face. He could stop worrying now because Sonny wasn't two timing or trying to break anybody's heart at all. He was relieved and he couldn't help but put a hand on the Snorlax's shoulder and patted him.

It looked like that he found someone he really liked too, which was great. Just as long as there weren't any eggs on the way yet.

Geeze Red, what kind of heartless Don Juan do you think you raised, here!?

"....so. You don't mind that I'm kind of sort of dating someone? It's OK? Right?"

Red's lack of input was a little worrying to Sonny in regards to his network post. Red was the most important person in his world and the boys' encouragement could pretty much make or break any situation for him.

He just thinks Sonny's too nice to reject people!

"I don't mind."

Red shrugged. Sonny could go out with whoever he wanted. It's not like he particularly minded but he'd always keep a close eye on him. Just because of the aforementioned too nice factor.

"As long as you're happy and she's happy, then it's okay."

"Oh! Phew - thanks, boss." Sonny replied, looking visibly releived.

"You're gonna meet her some time, right?"

"If you want me to... I'd like to meet both your friends."

This was the truth after all, Red wanted to know his team's friends if they ever felt like introducing them to him. After all, they might end up being friends as well.

"Really!? OK! OK, we can arrange it or something! I'd like that!!"

Red, you get a hug.

Here's another uninvited guest. Green walked in without so much of a word sometime in the early afternoon. He flopped down loudly in a chair he dragged over from Empo's side of the room, unwrapped a cellophane covered sandwich he bought from the cafeteria, and started eating.

Edited 2011-10-12 00:52 (UTC)

Red was doing more of his homework on the computer but he turned around ever so slightly to see who had come in. Oh, it was Green. That's okay then. He observed the other's actions as he just made himself at home.

Without another word, Red turned back to the computer and continued typing.

Green cast a sideways glance at the other trainer as he continued to eat, trying to see what he was typing. After about five minutes of sitting like that, Red might have noticed that another, still wrapped sandwich was inching it's way across the desk towards him. Because Green was scooting it right on over.

It took him a moment to notice the sandwich being edged towards him. Why, that was uncharacteristically nice of Green. He watched it get closer and closer to him before it was close enough for him to grab a hold of.

"Thanks."

He scowls at Red.

"I hate eating alone. I just grabbed the first one I saw, it's probably gross."

Red unwrapped the plastic covering of the sandwich and peered between the two pieces of bread to see what the filling was.

"Tomato and cheese."

Since he knew Green would probably throw a fit if he didn't eat, he cautiously took a bite from the corner. Okay, it wasn't booby trapped or had something odd in it. That's good.

"Ugghh, gross. Tomatoes are sick." Whether Green actually didn't like tomatoes was up to Red to decide-- he was probably just being contrary. He propped his knees up on the edge of the other boy's desk, pushing himself back into a recline.

"What homework are you doing." The nerd hung, unsaid, in the air.

Well, Red likes tomatoes so he's going to eat this sandwich gratefully. When the other trainer called the attention to his homework, he scooted over to allow the other a look.

"Photography. Essay about techniques. There's a couple of my photos there too."

Specifically one of Red bashing a zombie's brains out with a Star Rod and Vinnie doing the same, except with a rod with a flower on the end and zombies with flowers on them.

Yep that was the one that got Green's attention, alright. He pointed, scrunching his nose up in a display of disgust.

"What the shit is going on, here?!"

"The teacher." was all Red said in terms of explanation. Frank West was one of the more interesting teachers at the Academy, to say the least.

He quickly brought up another folder where all the various other shots were. It was more action shots of various people in the photography class in action (http://smash-logs.livejournal.com/645663.html?thread=42161183#t42161183).

[Vinnie managed to wander half-delirious into Red's room, exhausted after another gruelling training session in Max's bootcamp. He immediately flopped onto the floor with a Pop! back into Venusaur form.

Whether it was from shame or caution, Vinnie rarely reverted back to Pokemon form, where the loss of his two leaves was all the more noticable. The only time he really felt safe enough to do so was around Red. And after such a tiring week, having to stay cooped up as a human was starting to weigh on him.

He wasn't napping, not yet. He just wanted to stay for a little while. Vinnie peered up at Red with tired, worried eyes.

The room, at least, smelled lovely now.]

Hey.

[Red took this moment to stroke the Venusaur's head. He recognised that look of fatigue even from when he was an Ivysaur.]

Long day?

[Vinnie closed his eyes at the touch of Red's palm, and gave a soft murmur. Long week. He needed a break from being a big brother right now. He thought he was doing okay at it, but then Marie... How was he supposed to give other people advice when he didn't even know what to do with himself?

He flattened his head against the floor, and glanced up at Red again. How did the trainer deal with it all? He hardly seemed affected by that weird amnesia, even though it worried the hell out of Vinnie.]
