I woke up in…. some kind of void? There was nothing here, just a beautiful, silver oasis, all around me shimmering with light. But this didn’t change the fact that, I needed to where I was.
 
I got myself up, an immediately realized something wrong. I had five fingers again…. I was human again, my tail was gone, and my body was clothed, I was back to normal? But, how….? I felt my dirty blond hair on my head, everything felt real…
 
“Well hello there!” I heard a voice from behind me.
 
I turned around to come face to face with Elizabeth, her deep blue eyes staring at me in intrigue, and happiness. Her black hair behind her, with her wearing a blue and black dress.
 
“E-E-Elizabeth? What’s going o-“ Before I could finish speaking she ran up and quickly wrapped her arms around my waist.
 
“It’s so good to see you again!” She said happily.
 
This wasn’t normal…. But yet, it was… I couldn’t even deny I was happy to see her, so I did what I thought was right, and wrapped my arms around her.
 
“It’s….. It’s good to see you too,” I said truthfully.
 
I don’t know why but…. We just stayed there for a minute, just enjoying the company the other brought.
 
We ended the hug and she took both of my hands in hers, “Oh Jae! It’s been too long! There’s so much I want to say to you!”
 
“Same here…. It’s just…” I said.
 
“Just what?” She asked.
 
“N-nothing, let’s just talk, okay?” I said.
 
We sat down on what appeared to be nothing but air, and just looked at each other.
 
“So Jae, what’s been going on with you?” She asked.
 
“Well I uh…..” I didn’t know how to answer her on that question.
 
“Go on, just tell me what’s happened?” She asked.
 
I gave a huff, “Too much bad to count….”
 
“Like what?” She said worried.
 
“My parents are….. gone,” I explained.
 
“O….oh….” She said quietly.
 
“I’ve made some new friends…. And I’ve lost some friends….” I said.
 
“I see…. Well I mean, it can’t be all bad right?” She asked.
 
“Actually no!” I said with a smile, “I have my brother with me, I’ve made some good friends, and they’ve been there for me a lot!”
 
“Well, it’s good to hear!” She said.
 
“So what have you been doing?” I asked.
 
“Oh nothing really, I’m just getting ready for our date!” She said.
 
My eyes widened, “Our…. Date?”
 
“Yeah! Weren’t you going to take me to the movies?” She asked.
 
I then realized this was wrong, got up, and backed away from her.
 
“What’s the matter Jae? Why do you seem afraid of me?” She asked.
 
I shook my head, “No! No, none of this is real, this can’t be real, I’m not….” I held my hands to my face.
 
“Jae… C’mon don’t be delusional, as you can see I’m standing right in front of you,” she said.
 
“No… This isn’t right…. I’ve… Moved on…. Moved past this!” I said.
 
I looked up and saw her cheery mood had turned to one of hate and scorn. Her eyes stared into mine with rage…. And jealousy?
 
“Oh…. I see how it is,” She said walking towards me.
 
She got up in my face, and when I tried to back off she grabbed my wrist.
 
“All you care about is that stupid bitch, isn’t that right?” She said while her grip got tighter, I quickly pulled away and when I did I realized I was back in my lucario body.
 
“So that’s what you want huh?” She asked angered, “All you want is to be some dog, and have a bitch at your side?”
 
“OH!? What the hell do you know? You can’t read my mind! You don’t know what I want!” I screamed at her.
 
“I know a lot actually,” she snapped her fingers and we were in the bedroom, on the bed was Zuria and I together.
 
“Look at you, pitiful, not even two weeks and your already sleeping with one another,” She said.
 
I looked at her, “So… What’s your point here?”
 
She pointed at me, “You’ve only known her for two weeks, and your already sharing a bed? Seems a little bit fast don’t you think?”
 
I looked down.
 
“You were human after all right? Don’t you have any morals, you showed way more decency to me than that,” She said.
 
“It’s not…. No, it’s not the same, Pokemon and humans don’t have the same growing cycles, how would you know!?” I asked.
 
“You’re right, I don’t know about that, but I do know this, you’ve changed,” She said.
 
“What?” I asked.
 
“You’re nothing… but a shell, of who you used to be, nothing more!” She said.
 
Then scene changed once again…. We were in a cafeteria, and she pointed to two kids, who looked to be in elementary school.
 
“You don’t remember…. Of course you wouldn’t, not like you ever would,” She said.
 
I recognized it now, it was us, when we were in elementary.
 
“We knew each other, for years, our relationship grew,” The scene changed once again, this time it was an image of us together in middle school.
 
“and grew,” the next image was one of us together in high school, us working together on an assignment…. I truly forgot how happy we were then….
 
“Yet…. You were a coward,” she said.
 
“Ww-what?” I looked at her in shock.
 
The void came back, but it was a red void now.
 
“You were a coward, a wimp, a man with no balls!” I started to back away from her, yet she started just trailing closer to me.
 
“Now it seems you actually grew a pair…. But how much did it take for you to realize? My death, your mother’s death, the murder of your father?” She said with an evil smile.
 
“No… no, no… NO!” I said backing away and holding my ears.
 
“And now, your such a ‘man,’ that you can actually be more involved with your relationship with someone…. Or maybe you are just moving so fast so you can forget me?” She said with a hint of realization.
 
“What?” I asked.
 
“That’s it!! Isn’t it?! You just want to find someone to be with so that you can forget what you did to me!! You think that’s all there is?! You think that all we had is worth just that?! Is that it?! You never really had any interest in me, that’s why you never took the opportunity, you just led me on making me think that what we had was actually worth something!” She yelled.
 
“THAT’S NOT TRUE!!! When I lost you…. I felt a part of me die! A part of me that I will never be able to get back! Losing you…. Was one of the worst things to ever happen to me…. Every word you said to me, made me stronger, and made me a better person!” I said.
 
“Ten why did you let me die!?! If I truly meant that much to you, then why the fuck didn’t you do a thing to stop it from happening!!?” She yelled back.
 
“I TRIED, to save you, I did! I’ve TRIED, to save so many people, I can’t decide who lives or dies, and even if I can TRY to stop it, that doesn’t mean I can stop it! I’ve tried, and tried, and TRIED!!” I yelled.
 
I got up in her face, “Don’t you dare try to put that on me! I had to watch, as they beat your head to mush! As they took away the one person who gave my life meaning, I SAT THERE, POWERLESS, not able to do a single thing to save you…. I had to watch you die, I had to suffer, and suffer, and blame myself for what happened to you….. The person… Who ever truly gave a damn about me… I watched them die, I was blamed by your parents…. And all this pain and suffering, nearly led me to suicide….”
 
I look up at her, tears now flowing from my eyes. Her expression was one of shock.
 
“You know what…. You were… amazing, in every sense of the word, a great person, and great friend, and a great other… I took our time to bond… because if I got to close, I felt something could break or ruin… you, took time out of your life, to help… a useless… pitiful person, so that he could grow, and become someone actually worth something… You.. helped me become, who I am now…. And I don’t mean what I am… but who I am...” I explained to her.
 
“You…. You… Then why…. Are you going with her….You knew me for years, and you’ve only know her, for two weeks! She even hurt you! I never hurt you!” She said looking genuinely sad.
 
“Elizabeth… Zuria is alone, I had my family with me, she doesn’t have that, she doesn’t even know how to accept kindness given to her….” I explained.
 
She stayed quiet.
 
“True enough… I can’t explain why I’m… I’m falling in love with her…” I said looking down with a smile.
 
“What is it…. Does she remind you of me? Is she just a replacement!?” She yelled at me.
 
“No… Your wrong…” I said truthfully.
 
“Then what….?” She started to say.
 
“Because she…. I… Don’t know…” I said to her.
 
“You… Don’t know?” She asked saddened and confused.
 
“I mean…. It’s a lot of things… But if there is one reason, it’s not because she reminds me of you, that I am falling in love…. It's because…. I feel like….. She needs me, like I needed you….” I explained.
 
Her eyes grew soft, “She…. Needs you…”
 
“You were there for me… when I needed you…. So I’m going to be there for her, because she needs me now…” I said to her truthfully.
 
Elizabeth started to cry now, “Jae please! I still need you! You are everything to me! I love you! Isn’t what we had special?! Isn’t the time we spent together worth something?!”
 
“It was… every moment I spent with you, everything we had together, was wonderful…. But it’s over, that time we had together, will always, remain in my heart…. But the fact is that I need to move on from you, stop regretting everything I’ve done…. And realize… that there is nobody here… but me…” I said with a smile.
 
She was about to speak, and instead plastered a sad smile on her face.
 
“We both know your not real…. Just another figment of my grief… trying to get at me again…. But I still meant every word to you…. If you can possibly hear this,” I said to her smiling.
 
She just continued to weep with a smile.
 
“I don’t think I’m going to see you again like this…. I’ve finally learned to stop torturing myself….” I explained.
 
She didn’t speak, she continued to wipe her eyes of her tears. She stayed there for a minute, not wanting to move, but then she finally looked up, and her face beamed with happiness, her deep blue eyes now bright, stained with tears. Wind started to pick up, her bright, black hair blowing in it.
 
She then spoke, “Took you long enough….. You idiot!” She was still crying, with that big smile on her face.
 
I couldn’t help but smile back, whether it was fake or not, the moment was still there.
 
We both looked at each others eyes. My crimson red staring into her deep blue. I had a smile plastered on my muzzle now, to match the smile she was wearing as well.
 
We stared for another moment, and once it was over, we both uttered one, single word, and it gave all the meaning and indication it needed.
 
“Goodbye…”
~~~
My eyes squinted open to sunlight shining through the window behind me. I was about to start stretching my body like I normally would when I realized that Zuria and I were still close together, me holding her in my arms.
 
-You awake?- I heard her voice say.
 
I lifted my head up a little to see she turned her head to look at me.
 
-Yeah…. How long you been awake?” I asked her.
 
-Oh… I’ve been up for a little while… but just didn’t feel like getting up…” She said.
 
-Oh? Why’s that?- I asked.
 
She slowly reached one her paws and wrapped it around my arm, -It’s…. Nice…-
 
I smiled, -I agree…. But, we still have others to worry about, are they awake?-
 
-Yeah…- She said disappointed.
 
-Well, I am the only one that can or knows how to cook, so how about we enjoy today, okay?- I asked.
 
She turned her head, show she was smiling, -Yeah!-
 
I smiled, thinking back to the dream, and what went on. And I remembered what I admitted in the dream, those words means just as much out here as they did in there.
 
I got to work on making breakfast, and Zuria, Jon, and Ray were all just talking in the other room. Zuria came and help me set out plates and get them made. We made what I guess what this worlds equivalent of sausage, and I cooked some eggs.
 
-Say Jae?- Zuria started.
 
-Yeah?- I asked.
 
-How do you know how to cook like this?- She asked.
 
-Oh? Well my mother taught me!- I said.
 
-….Your mother taught you how to do something humans do?- She asked.
 
My heart stopped for a brief second when she said that.
 
-Uh… Well you see…..- I gave a huff, -Look, if you don’t mind, I will tell you all of this in due time okay?-
 
-Due time? Are you not telling me the truth?- She asked.
 
I shook my head, -No, my mother did teach me, it’s just a long story.-
 
-Oh…- She said still confused.
 
-Don’t worry about it! Food’s ready anyway!- I said to her.
 
She seemed to get happy at that, and I gave everyone their plates. We started to watch TV, mostly game shows, I find them fun.
 
We were trying to guess what the answers were as a group, and we all got mad when one got it right.
 
-Yes! I got it!- Ray screamed.
 
-Are you kidding!? I thought miltank could be boy or girl?!- Jon yelled.
 
-Apparently someone doesn’t realize how cows work,- I said jokingly.
 
-Okay, you I understand, but how does he know!?- Jon yelled at me while pointing to Ray.
 
-My parents taught me a lot Jon,- He said.
 
-At least it’s a good answer,- Zuria said with a small smile.
 
-I guess,- Jon lowered his head.
 
We enjoyed the rest of the morning just having fun, and talking. I looked at Zuria, to see her so happy, has filled me with so much joy. I could sense her aura, she was happy, but even happier when she was around me. I think I had to…. I had to tell her, she deserves to know, and I truly thinks she feels the same…. I just hope she doesn’t see me different for what I used to be….
Alright here it is the next chapter! It's a bit on the shorter side, but mainly because it's a heavily diolouged chapter, forgive me for that. Anyway I hope you enjoy!

Aaaaaaa CUTENESS

That scene with Elizabeth was beautiful and I'm so happy he finally moved on omigoshyes. :la: That chapter was a breath of fresh air indeed.
