[It took Celebi two weeks to realize she had never done an introduction to the rest of the school after sweet dance parties. Whoops! Well, no big deal. She just went backwards a bit to rectify the situation. Yeah! So here we are with a text entry. November 1st. Right on time. Excellent.]

Oooo! I was always really curious about what it was like over here, and now I know! Or I'm going to know! This is very very exciting!! Hello! I'm a transfer from Square-Enix academy! It doesn't seem like a whole lot of us have come over here, huh? I wonder why! It seems like a fun place! That was a super neat party you guys had, and all the egg decorations are kind of exotic I guess??

What should I be looking forward to here? Anything special? I guess dress up parties aren't the norm but is there anything else? Do you have any warnings for me? Are we allowed to use the green house? I really hope so, cause it looks reaaaally nice in there. Nice and warm. Everything looks so snug~!

Oh, silly me! I almost forgot. You can call me Evliya :3

[His face turned a little redder, but at least he was smiling now. It was an embarrassed, but sincere kind of smile.]

Don't be, it was... one of those really stupid kid ideas.

[Good, good. She laughed.]

But those are usually the most earnest ones!

Phffft. Well I'm not tellin' you what it was.

You can do the guessin' this time.

[Revenge!]

Oh....! Sneaky sneaky!

Why would a little saur want to meet meee.... [There's some legit thinky faces going on over here. Hit by a guessing game... Maaaan.]

You didn't give me any hints, so you don't get any.

[Revengeance! Okay maybe he was teasing her a bit. Turnabout was fair game.]

Fair enough, heehee. Though really, the limited options of grass types is a lot different from the limitless choices of a child's mind.

[She let go of him, hovering off to ponder that ponder.]

That's the fun part though! You must have heard a story. What sort was it?

... Unless that counts as a hint.

Nothin' that everyone else hasn't heard already.

[You know, forest spirit, time travel, that stuff. Vinnie was being very tight-lipped on hints. Mostly because he totally really didn't want her to know. So there.

He watched her, hovering about. For some reason it felt important to him to remember the way she fluttered. It felt like she should already know everything about him, and he was just hiding the inevitable.]

Mhmm.

[Those were the sorts she knew fairly well. A lot of them weren't things she could really agree with, but stories were what they were. It was interesting to hear what people came up with to explain things. As much as she didn't like the implications they made about her, she did like listening to them.

For the moment (and just for the moment), he was brand new. She knew nothing of this Venusaur's life, but the more he intrigued her the more it was cemented that she was going to find out about him. And goodness, he was intriguing. There was a lot going on there, she could tell.

So she stared at the monster tulips again as if they would give her an answer. And she stared. And she stared some more. Oh, she spaced out for a minute there, uh.]

[Huff. Well, stare at his tulips all you wanted, they weren't going to tell you anything. Vinnie crossed his arms, trying to ignore the sinking feeling in his stomach.

She'd been spaced out for a while now. A minute. Two minutes. More. That's... a bit odd. And pretty awkward, too, considering the two of them where just standing about his room in silence. Shifting his weight from one foot to the other, he glanced about the room once, then again... stared at the floor. Who was going to be the first one to break the silence?

Was this just what Celebi did? Was something actually wrong?

He wasn't yet confident enough to reach out to touch her shoulder, but hesitantly, Vinnie took a step forward, towards her.]

Are you... okay?

[It was another moment or two before Celebi suddenly blinked and gave a rousing little shake. She gave a quick turn, bright eyed and aware as she looked over at him.]

Yes?

[Yeah this was a common occurrence to get used to.]

[Blink. Vinnie retracted back a step. Guess that was normal for her, then.

Welcome back, Celebi. That little Bulbasaur grew up and got cynical. He furrowed his brows, half in worry and half in discomfort.]

Nevermind. Y'just went... [Pause. He was being stupid.] Nevermind.

[Alas, the tragedy of age. Yet age had made his sweetness more profound. He was one and the same, even if they weren't snuggled up under the sun anymore.]

No, go ahead!

[She scooted back over to him, boldly taking his hands in hers. The pixie wore a soft smile, a bit different from the playful ones she had been sporting earlier.]

Did I bother you? I'm sorry. [A rare apology.] It happens sometimes.

[More blinking on Vinnie's part. She seemed a little different, suddenly... or perhaps it was that her demeanor had changed and he couldn't account for why.

His hands in hers. It felt like it should've been a profound moment, but he simply didn't know what to do with it.]

Nah, you were just spacin' out...

[She nodded.] Mmhm. Someone was saying hello in Ilex.

[Actually true! It wasn't as endearing as a trip to an island was in the slightest, but it had been happening. Celebi hadn't found that visit nearly as interesting as this one though. She admired the juxtaposition of their hands for a moment. They were opposites in nearly every way, but they still fit quite nicely.]

Have you ever been there?

[Oh. She actually did sense people in Ilex. Vinnie had always thought that wasn't possible. After all, the gods didn't have time to listen to everyone who had something to ask of them. Prayers weren't always heard. Wishes weren't granted. And bad things happened to everyone, regardless whether they were good or evil.]

Once. When Red was doin' the Johto League.

[It was arguable over which Celebi was the main Celebi: the one snoozing in her little forest box or the one slipping her smaller fingers through broad ones just to see how it looked. Nothing happened in Ilex without her knowing, that's just how it was. So she looked a bit thoughtful for a second, trying to sort through the images of people that had passed through.

It'd be easier if she had tried to commit more of them to memory.]

And Red is... Your trainer then? That's what those leaguey things are for I think...
