Sleepover Time!~ [Mei]

[KALULA TREASACH]

So she was visiting Asperita again. She in the end, had not been able to tell Hugh about Garett when she had first come home. Today, would probably be no different. But actually, today she had not come home to see Hugh, but Mei. She adored Mei like an older sister, and there was no way that she was about to miss out on a sleepover with her. And considering she spent so much time outdoors, it'd be nice to sit inside and watch movies and talk about things. Talking was of course, something that Mei and Kalula did best. They could talk for hours and most likely the only thing that would be able to stop them was someone pulling them forcefully out of conversation. Well, at least there'd be none of that with just the two of them. Oh, well, them and Kleo. But Kleo always came along on sleepover and she did what the girls normally failed to do- sleep- the entire sleepover. Unless Kalula tried to braid her fur. Never worked, but a girl could hope. It was why as soon as Noctuh once more came crashing down into Asperita, she was quick to make her way to Mei's home, of course busting open the door like she lived there, as usual.

"Mei!~ I brought the popcorn...and stuff!" She called. She really did love Sleepovers, and even if she only had them with Mei, what did it really matter? It was a blast each time. It was also a night just for them, to bond and stuff. Bonding was nice, indeed! She was close with both Kyouhei and Mei, sure. They were Hugh's best friends which made them hers in some way shape or form as well... of course, Kyouhei wouldn't let her within ten feet of him with a curling iron, she was sure. Oh well. Girl time was fun, and it was Kyou's loss, she thought with a grin.

[MEI MORIMOTO]

Mei had collected rather a large number of pillows. She wasn't entirely certain that they were all from her house (as one in particular rather reminded her of Hugh and Kalu's house but hey, she considered herself half a part of the furniture anyways) but she had accumulated all of those available from her own place as it was. For once, however, Mei had managed to get the house to herself. Her mother had a date (hallelujah!) for the first time since her father had left them and she had been allowed Kalu over.

Her hair down, she heard the call from her friend coming into the front door and shouted out, "In the lounge, Kaluuuu!" Before she went back to fixing the candy into a bowl. "I can't believe it our first sleepover in forever you had better be ready to have fun!" In the background, one of their favourite sappy movies had already begun playing, and Mei straightened herself up to look out the door at her. "Hurry up we have so much to talk about!"

[KALULA TREASACH]

Kalula was excited, to say the least. Kleo could tell by the way she was shifting back and forth on her heels. Of course, she forgot to lock the door, but Kleo was sure they'd get around to that. It wasn't like it was that dangerous in Asperita, but in these days, you could never be to careful. Kalula seemed to forget that it had happened to she and Hugh. Then again...they had been outside. "Come on Kleo!~" Kalula called upon hearing Mei's voice. She bounded into the lounge with Kleo on her tail, and smiled when she Saw Mei. The girl was quick to let out a tiny squeal and ran over to Mei, locking her in a hug. Being home was always great, Kalula decided. Once she released Mei, she looked around. Pillows, candy bowls, and Mei had even put on one of their favorite movies. This is why she loved Sleepovers. This was why she loved Mei. She could never get Garett to sit still when she watched movies like that, so it really wasn't as much fun. On top of that, it was pretty much her and Mei's movie.

"Yeah, it's been forever!~ Like I mean I've been trying to come around more often, but all this traveling around and stuff, it's so crazy! Is that how you guys felt when you were all over the place?" Kalula asked with a tilt of her head. When Mei mentioned that they had a lot to talk about, she smiled. They really did. So many things, actually. Kalula figured she could especially trust Mei with her current issue, but they'd have to discuss it a little later in the sleepover. Kleo regarded Mei with a fonder snort, lightly brushing her head against the girl's arm before following Kalula to where she would plop down. "So, MeiMei, Tell me things!~" Kalula mentioned with a giggle.

[MEI MORIMOTO]

It was never safe for boys (particularly Hugh and Kyouhei) when Kalu and Mei began to talk and tightening her arms around the younger girl in a brief hug, Mei released her only to look her over and flop down on the ground as if she was exhausted. "That's exactly how we felt!" She announced in reply, taking a piece of candy and putting it in her mouth as she scooted back to offer her hand to Kleo briefly in a peace offering, before nodding at Kalula.

"There's been lots of nothing happening here since you left. We've built back up since the storm though, which is good!" She pulled up a cushion, cuddling it against her stomach. "I'm all better now though, thanks to your brother.. I don't think I ever got to apologise properly for what that guy sent you on my phone. You know I'd never say all that, right" Considering their happy little reunion, Mei just wanted to make sure Kalu knew it had not been her to send horrid text messages.

[KALULA TREASACH]

Kalula was busy setting out popcorn and things like that, but she nodded when Mei confirmed that it was how she , Hugh, and Kyouhei had felt when they set out on their journey as well. It was a long road, she knew that, but she never expected it to be so hard sometimes. Well, she supposed she did, but her optimism had pushed the thought to the back of her mind. It had been hard so far, but her Pokemon rose to the very occasion. They worked just as hard for her as she did for them, so it was a mutual relationship. She regretted not being able to start out with Kleo as a Purrlion, but none of that really mattered now. Thanks to Hugh, they were together once more. She grinned at the thought, and turned back when Mei caught her attention. From what she had heard on the phone, the storm hit Asperita pretty hard, and she had wanted to come home, but at the time she had not obtained Noctuh, so she couldn't.

"That's good. Everyone in Asperita is really strong, so it's not a surprise everyone started rebuilding!" She mentioned as her Liepard wrapped her body in an arch around Kalula's waist, resting her head on her trainers lap. Kalula looked briefly to the movie, but they had seen it 100 times anyway. It was better to talk, at a time like this. Kalula listened next as Mei apologized for the messages on the phone she had gotten from her a long while back. Kalula smiled and gave her a soft smile. "Oh those? Yeah...I mean I was upset when I first got them, but... Hugh and Kyouhei told me that it wasn't you, and I knew they were right. I knew you'd never do anything like that!~" She mentioned with a brighter smile. Plus it would take something worse than nasty phone messages to tear their friendship up. And she meant by that, Reshiram and Zekrom creating some kind of riff in the universe worse.

"No worries MeiMei~ Annnyyyhow~" She spoke cheerfully, resting back on Kleo's body. So much to talk about, but what first. She wanted to hear everything there was to hear on the happenings in Asperita. "How's my brother been, anyway?~" Sure, that was a slightly, more or less a jest, but in General, she was also eager to know how Hugh was doing.

[MEI MORIMOTO]

Mei was relieved at the younger girl's confirmation that she hadn't believed it was her, and the pokedex holder sighed a small breath of relief as she pulled out a few kernels of popcorn and tossed them into her mouth one by one, squishing the pillow against her chest as if it was some kind of barrier from the thoughts. "I'm sure everyone will be glad to hear that you're home too, Kalu. That you're safe. I know there were a few people who were worried. I was one of them so it's good to see you all in one piece."

She hummed quietly as music played in the background, turning to look her friend in the eye. The stupid movie infected her brain sometimes, but she supposed that was part of the reason she liked it so much. Giving the other brunette a grin, she tossed another piece of popcorn in her mouth and practically choked at Kalula's next question.

Unfortunately for Mei, she was left bright pink and coughing briefly as she reached for a glass of cola and swished the stray kernel down. "H-Hugh? He's fine. I mean, you live with him.. He's been training with me, I guess. Um." Mei couldn't fight back the blush on her cheeks as memories of the past weeks sprung up in her mind, and she suddenly found the movie ten times more entrancing despite having seen it enough times to know the script by heart.

"He's been good. Good, yes. Very good." That was subtle, right?

[KALULA TREASACH]

Kalula was actually relieved herself that she was in one piece. With all these problems going on, it probably hadn't been the best time to start out on her journey. Even so, she was glad she had. It was an experience, but she knew that she probably needed to call more. She smiled sheepishly. "Thanks Mei, knowing that I have support from home is a real help! Thanks to the team I've got three badges already!~ Just you know, need the other five." she mentioned with a small laugh. The journey was fun though, and she and Garett had yet to run into any real danger. Hey eyes shifted back to the movie for a minute. Of course she knew that didn't mean they were out of the woods yet. Well, they were out of the woods, but like, not literally.

She actually found Mei's reaction really amusing, but she was ready to lean over and pat her back hard in case she couldn't get the kernel out. But thankfully, Mei was able to, and Kalula reached over and pulled some popcorn into her own mouth. Swallowing it, she sighed. "Course' I live with him silly, but I'm never home anymore!~ You know though, I feel like that's kind of weird. It used to be me sitting at home, wondering how you guys were, and now it's you guys!" She was truly amazed at how far things had flipped since then. Mei's flustered face made Kalula laugh.

"No progress, huh?" She asked directly. She knew that something had changed between them. But if she knew Hugh, he hadn't been making any moves to progress it further than it already was. Well, that's what she had gathered from Mei's reaction anyway. She smiled lightly. "Don't worry Mei, I'm sure things'll be a lot easier soon!" she half-assured her. Then again, she really didn't know. You couldn't tell the future....well, she couldn't, anyway. Leaning back, she let out a sigh. "MeiMei, you know how Hugh can be...difficult sometimes right? Well..say you want to tell him something, but you don't know how? I'm his sister and I don't even think I know how to do that~" Her tone was soft, but she looked kind of serious.

[MEI MORIMOTO]

"Of course there's always support for you at home, and if you needed us present we'd definitely rush to come see you too. Three badges is a really good effort so far, I know sometimes they get really sneaky about their tactics but I'm sure you can do it!" Mei nodded sagely and stuffed her face into the crease of the pillow, stretching out her arms and looking her friend over. Yes, she had definitely grown up a lot since leaving their little town. It was amazing what a little bit of travelling could do, and Kalula had certainly embraced the change. It had not, however, affected their friendship one little bit.

"I guess I do see him pretty often. He's been letting me bother him a lot. Maybe I should stop coming over to your house all the time, he's got to be bored of it.. That's probably a good point." She pulled a face into the pillow, deciding that she was ready for a piece of candy to go with the popcorn now, and reached for one of those.

"P-progress? I guess not really. I thought we nearly did and-- well, when you walked in the other day that was kind of new but I'm still not sure if he likes me or if I'm just reading into things because I want him to.." Wrinkling her nose, she blinked. "I know he can be a bit stubborn-" slight understatement but whatever, "But what kind of a thing are you wanting to tell him? Because clearly I'm not doing a great job of telling him my feelings so what is it you don't know how to say? Pretty sure there's nothing you could ever say to Huey that would make him adore you less. You're his favourite person in the world."

[KALULA TREASACH]

She listened to Mei, at this point far ahead of Mei and mixing pieces of candy with her popcorn. She liked the salty-sweet taste it gave, and it really reminded her of their sleepovers every time, even when she wasn't at one of their sleepovers. "I'm glad. I have such awesome friends.~ Not to mention the greatest brother ever!" She giggled. Mei was right. three badges was a height she could be proud of. She was also pleased to know she'd always have their back-up, and that was a greater comfort than anything.

She listened to Mei describe how things had been with Hugh these days and nodded. "I don't think you're reading into things too hard." She mentioned through a bite of popcorn. "Hugh's always had a hard time being expressive, I think." She stopped for a chuckle. "Unless of course' he's being angry. You know when he's angry." She mentioned with a rather goofy smile. Though she didn't know if what she was spewing was the entire truth, but some of it had to be, she was sure. She hadn't ever known Hugh to be the most open person, but she was sure when he was ready, he'd make it known. The question was, when? As Mei continued talking, her eyes dropped to the floor.

"Well. I mean, I know I can tell him almost anything but I can'ttellhimIhaveaboyfriend...." She said the last part so quickly she surprised herself. Did she really not want to tell Hugh that much? No, it wasn't that. She was happy about Garett, but she felt like Hugh wouldn't be so thrilled himself. She wasn't sure about her dad, either. But he wasn't around her so much so she'd worry about him later. She calmed a bit and took a deep breath.

"Sorry. I meant, I can't tell him that I have a boyfriend. Have had, for a couple of months actually..." She said, a deep red blush on her face as she played with her thumbs.

[MEI MORIMOTO]

"I guess. I dunno, I don't want to push him away though. We'll just have to wait and see!" Tossing a piece of candy into the air and catching it in her mouth, Mei nodded and tried not to think too hard about the whole situation. Was it just relief that she hadn't died falling out of a tree after all his hard work to save her in the first place? Maybe she had sucked in air too hard and-- okay, she was thinking way too much. She flicked her hair back away from her face and crossed her ankles together.

Another delicious little morsel was tossed into the air and came down on Mei's nose as she blinked at Kalula's next words. Or rather her next string of slightly unintelligable ramblings. "Wait, what!?" The brunette blinked, slightly shocked, as she stared, candy forgotten and now balancing precariously on her knee having slid off her nose. When she managed to repeat it slower, the older of the pair blinked (and mentally anguished over the fact that adorable innocent Kalu was scoring before she was) and then nodded to herself to confirm she was hearing correctly.

"A few months? Okay, you have to tell me everything now. After I know we can figure out how to go about telling your brother!"

[KALULA TREASACH]

Kalula looked down in embarrassment again. Getting all flustered was not normally Kalula. Of course she knew Mei would be happy for her. But at the same time, no one she knew was aware of Garett at the moment. Mei was the first one to know. She kind of sat silent for a few minutes, looking into the bowl of candy idly and thinking of what she should explain. Well, she guessed his name would be a nice start. She looked up at Mei, finally, with a slight blink. Her face was still red, and Kleo looked up, kind of amused to see Kalula this way. And normally she was the one making people blush. Kalula blinked once more with a small fidget.

"Um...Well...His name is Garett. I met him when he fell from the sky..." She paused to sheepishly rub the back of her head. She hoped that Mei didn't think that she was trying to be poetic, but in case she did, she clarified. "By that, I mean he fell off a roof and onto Abosu...ehehe..." she chuckled. Oh Reshiram she probably thought Garett was crazy now. It wasn't everyday you fell off a roof and onto your future Girlfriend's Absol. She decided to continue.

"And he's Intelligent, and Brave, and he always has great explanations and views on everything!...Oh but he does wear that tunic a little too much. But that's okay! I like him anyway!~" She mentioned with a soft smile. To Kleo, and probably to Mei as well, it was easy to tell how entranced Kalula was by the male who she had started seeing.

[MEI MORIMOTO]

Mei wanted to know more about this mysterious boy. Everything else could wait for now! With a grin, she scooted over so she was right beside Kalula, putting her hands on her knees and leaning closer to listen. The brunette wanted to know everything there was to know, and she did the best thing a friend could do - listen closely and squeal internally until Kalula had finished speaking. At which point Mei released a soft and amused squeak and flopped over on the floor. "Garett, huh. And he fell like an angel onto poor Abosu! Sounds like a love story if I've ever heard one!"

The older of the pair giggled, draping an arm over Kalula's shoulder and leaning against her side affectionately. "So he's brave and intelligent.. is he cute? Have you two kissed yet? I need to know everything!" After all, if Kalu was going to find true love before she did, she had to live vicariously through her! "So a few months too, huh. So cute!"

[KALULA TREASACH]

If Kalula wasn't blushing now, she'd be in a few moments. Mei let out a squeak and was quick to gush about how it had been a love story. Had it though? It wasn't like Garett had meant to fall onto Abosu, right? But maybe that was the silly thing about destiny. She wasn't sure, but the thought of that being the reason made her burn. Maybe her and Garett were meant to be? Oooh...she didn't know! She was sure that they'd determine that for themselves eventually, but she knew you couldn't tell right away. Mei scooted over to her and Kalula smiled at her. Then she started asking more questions. At the mention of him being cute.

"Yeah, he's adorable, MeiMei!~ He's got blonde hair and it reminds me of wheat, even if that's kind of corny, and he's got these amazing green eyes~" She mused. Wow, he really was awesome. "He's got cool Pokemon too like Espeon and Umbre...what?" She paused. Did she just ask if they had kissed? She did, didn't she? Her face must have repeated the shades of pink and red 100 times over by now, and she shook her head vigorously. "N-No! Nothing of that sort, I mean W-We holdhandsandstuff but we don't kiss." She looked away, a soft blink or two before, she finally turned back to Mei.

"But the campfire at night is probably my favorite thing. I mean, when we camp anyway. He eats whatever I make, and he doesn't complain when I mess up. And if I'm cold, I just snuggle up to him, and it's really nice." She mentioned. It was really more comfortable with Garett there. She wasn't as lonely as she had been at first. Without Mei, or Hugh, or Kyouhei a call away. It was a happier travel, considering his smile was contagious. Her smile turned to a frown though, when she looked back to Mei, wiping one of her eyes free of mist. "But I don't know how I'm gonna tell Hugh about him, and I think he'll be mad cause I didn't tell him back when I first started dating Garett." she mentioned quickly, doing her best to keep her composure.

[MEI MORIMOTO]

Mei was well and truly what you could call excited for her friend. Her fingers tightened as she hugged and squeezed at the younger girl, more than just a little bit pleased at her news. The fact that Kalula was going to be snuggling up to a boy and be in a relationship, well, it just had the romantic in Mei's heart all a flutter. She giggled as she popped another piece of chocolate in her mouth and nodded a few times as she tried to picture him. He did sound cute, that was for sure. She'd have to get a good look at him some time and evaluate for herself though. Definitely put her own guess in.

"You haven't kissed yet? Oh but you have to, you know what they say about true loves kiss!" She grinned cheekily and poked the other girl's face gently, amused that for once Kalula was the subject of chatter in the relationship. It also avoided the 'progress' topic that Kalu had started, which was good in itself, because there was definitely very little to tell in comparison to an actual relationship. "You have to and then you have to tell me all about it and what you felt like in your first kiss. Ah, to be young again!" Mei cackled slightly, very amused.

But there was the matter at hand of how to tell Hugh. "He probably would have liked you to have told him to begin with, but I think you have to be honest. Maybe avoid the part about him falling off the roof though, because he can sometimes overreact and he might think he's not careful enough. Think of a really good story about how brave he is, maybe, and start off telling him about how you're travelling companions, and then after he admires him for the story you've told, you can introduce him as being your boyfriend and he'll already have a good impression in the first place? Maybe?"

[KALULA TREASACH]

Kalula sat there as Mei hugged and squeezed her. She had really missed Mei, and maybe she understood why she became so flustered when she teased her. Would she stop doing it? No, probably not, but now they had equal footing. She reached out and grabbed a handful of popcorn, mindlessly munching on it as Mei continued on about true loves first kiss. This time, it was her turn to nearly choke on her food. Frowning in discontent, she sighed. "I think I have popcorn in my lungs now. Eh, at least the air will be buttery fresh?" She mentioned with a smile. But still...first kisses, were a weird subject. She didn't know what it'd be like to actually kiss a boy, let alone Garett. The thought made all the other ones she had whirl for a moment. She shook her head, covering her face when Mei explained she'd have to tell her all about her first kiss, whenever it did happen. "Y-Yeah...you know I tell you everything!" pausing, she added. "Hey! You're only a few years older than me!" This was accompanied by a laugh, so of course she wasn't serious. At least until the topic of Hugh came back up. She bit her lip.

"Maybe..." She leaned back and thought about the ideas Mei gave to her. Be honest? It probably was the best way to go, but when she mentioned the fact that it might make Garett look reckless if she told Hugh how they had met, she frowned. Garett was reckless though. But that was only when it came to himself. He'd never let anything happen to her. But she was more worried about him, anyway. She shook the thought though, there was something she should probably mention, but didn't want to. "You'd be there if I decided to bring Garett here to meet him, right?" She asked with a tilt of her head. She was sure having Mei there would at least have a chance of keeping Hugh calm. "I...promised him I'd bring him to Asperita. We're supposed to watch the stars on the lookout together." She mentioned, the blush that had only just subsided suddenly coming back to haunt her.

[MEI MORIMOTO]

"Don't forget that then, cause I definitely still want to know! And you will have to have it sometime! I'm sure it'll be the cutest thing ever!" Mei gushed, grinning and releasing her friend from the somewhat tight hug. She was excited for her, and secretly scheming in her own mind a way to get the new couple in a situation where a kiss was inevitable. Unfortunately in this particular situation she couldn't rope Hugh or Kyouhei in to help, as they both would probably not be as supportive of the whole situation, but she could enact a plan on her own if it was a romance plot! That was what she was going to do, too.. all she needed was some rope..

But wait, had Kalu really doubted that she would be there to introduce them? "Of course I'd be there if you wanted me to be. I can try to calm Hugh down with petting or something if he gets a bit weird about it. I'd be happy to help you out though-- Ohh, and that sounds like the perfect place to have a first kiss! That settles it, of course I'll be there to meet him with Hugh and then you can go on your adorable little date to the look out!" The brunette giggled, poking her friend's cheek again with a happy laugh. Oh, that blush was adorable.

It was so strange (in a good way!) to see Kalula so flustered. A real boyfriend, well, that was something to be celebrated! "Have you thought about kissing him yet? Hmmm~?"

[KALULA TREASACH]

"Sure Mei, of course!" She promised, a slight chuckle coming from her. She could try to veer the subject off her, but she knew that Mei would probably see through that. Plus, it was good for her to talk about it with someone, since she didn't know what to do about Hugh. And it was a relief that someone she loved finally knew about her situation. She smiled, but she didn't like how Mei was looking so deep in thought. She knew Mei well enough to know that it probably meant she was thinking into the current subject. And she really didn't want her to. It was never good...that was all she knew. She played Matchmaker far too much...or at least attempted to, for Mei and Hugh, and this was truly karma getting her back.

Kalula never really doubted Mei would support her when her boyfriend and brother actually met, but she wanted to be sure. The yes was an extra assurance, for Kalula's sake at least. She knew that Mei would be able to at least keep Hugh's like...blood pressure down or something, she didn't know. She looked up at Mei again as she mentioned the lookout was the best place to have a first kiss, and she sputtered. "M-Mei! you're still on that?!" She asked in surprise. And the blush was back. After tonight, she was sure her face would be red for the rest of her life. Oh well, maybe she could convince Garett it was some Asperitian disease or something. A non contagious one. That only infected one in 25 Asperitians. She sighed and blinked at Mei. "I don't think that'll happen for a while. That stuff is for l-like, way later, right? How do you even girlfriend Mei? How....do you...even Girlfriend?" She asked in a curious tone. She really didn't know how to do this. She didn't bother trying to calm herself down again when Mei asked her Next question.

"N-No!....Y-Yes...? M-Maybe...? I dunno I...maybe once or twice b-but I never did it!" She commented, Kleo shaking her head as Kalula accidentally dropped some popcorn on her.

[MEI MORIMOTO]

Indeed, Karma was returning for the younger of the pair as Mei schemed away. She was eager to see Kalula happy, and there was no malice in her cheeky look, merely enough that she could tease and play with what little information she knew. The little information being that they had yet to share a first kiss, and well, Mei definitely thought it was high time if they had been seeing one another for a few months then. "I'll be on it until I know for sure you've had an amazing first kiss! Under the stars, leaning on the railing! I'm sure we can make it into the best first kiss ever.. as long as I don't tell Hugh about that part, anyways." She grinned, nudging her side and laughing.

Oh, in some ways Mei and Kalula were very alike, but at least in others Kalula really was the more naive of the two. When it came to physical and heart matters, Mei had spent many of her teenage years reading magazines and eating candy thinking about all the things that teenage girls did. She had, for the most part, managed to spare her best friend's little sister from the dirtier side of the talk, but she looked over at her friend in bewilderment as she asked about whether it was for way later. "Kalu, I adore you, but you've been together a few months! How much later did you think the kissing happened? I mean, if you didn't know him first, you should give it time, sure, but you really like him, and kissing is just.. a nice way of showing that!"

Clearly, Mei was considering the fact that she might have to live vicariously though her friend, but the fact remained that even she and Hugh had made (somewhat) more progress on that front than the youngest Treasach sibling. Then again, that might have been an accident. As her mind wandered, Mei herself turned a bright shade of pink and she hurriedly looked away from Kalula to keep her friend from spying her own blush. "It's for as soon as you want to, and if you've thought about it you must want to!"

[KALULA TREASACH]

Kalula listened very carefully to Mei. Not because she had to, no it wasn't like that at all. It was because she wanted to, because though Mei wasn't one-thousand years wiser than her, but she still knew more about this kind of thing than she did. She knew that Mei was the type to love romance. She always had those teen dream magazines and what not. Maybe Kalula should have paid more attention to that as well when she first got into the teen years. Heck, she still wasn't that far in right? But it was pretty much a lost cause to start now. She had a boyfriend and zero idea what to do. She thought about the way that Mei had described the way she thought that Kalula and Garett's first kiss could go, and she covered her deep red face with a pillow, a soft groan escaping her. She was officially at a loss. "I just...ngh...isn't that always awkward? And yeah, p-please don't tell Hugh if that does end up happening...n-not that I'm expecting it too!" She asked, adding in the last part with a hurry. In some of the movies that Mei and Kalula watched during their sleepovers, the first kiss would sometimes end with the protagonist's bumping heads or noses or something embarrassing like that.

Lowering the pillow, she answered Mei's next question."When did I think it would happen? W-Well... I always thought that everyone waited until after marriage to do any of that really touchy stuff, and that they did it earlier in the movies to...I dunno...fill time?" She mentioned innocently, rubbing the back of her head sheepishly. She had to admit, at least this talk with Mei was enlightening. So it was alright to at least kiss before marriage? That was kind of neat. "I guess I never thought of it like that..." She mentioned, her voice trailing at the end as she thought about it. She looked down in a fluster when Mei revisited the fact that Kalula had thought about doing it. Thankfully for Mei, she hadn't noticed her blush. "Y-Yeah. But when I think about it I get all nervous and then I can't look at him directly for the next ten minutes or so." She answered, seriously unsure of what brought that on aside from a bundle of nerves and things.

"A-Anyway, we'll have to work on that- Te-telling Hugh I mean- when I feel like he's ready to hear it." And who knew when that would be? Sighing, she figured that better get onto other subjects aside from herself and Garett, she smiled at Mei, her blush finally subsiding just a bit. "Say, where's Kyou been anyway? I didn't see him last time I came back to Asperita either. What the heck has he been doing, fighting Skarmory out on the outskirts of Lentimas Town?" She asked sarcastically. "I mean it'd be nice to see all three of you sometimes~" She mentioned with a small smile.

[MEI MORIMOTO]

Somewhat awkwardly, Mei laughed and flushed, muttering, "If I told him he'd try to lead by example and we'd never get anywhere," under her breath, but either way, the older girl would never have told Hugh as it was. Kalu was one of her best friends and she would always keep the secrets the other asked. "I cross my heart, when you two do your cute little first kiss, I won't tell Hugh at all! Or anyone, till you want to tell someone!" She grinned, nudging the younger of the pair's sides and giggling softly.

"After marriage for the first kiss? I mean you can wait for the more touchy stuff, I guess.. In fact with Hugh as a brother I'd suggest you do! But that being said.. kissing is pretty safe. Unless one of you is sick, but you generally should snuggle then anyways, so you're not swapping germs." Mei laughed affectionately at Kalula, terribly and completely amused by her poor friend's innocence. It was refreshing and good that despite being in her mid-teens, the younger of the pair was still in a safe place that didn't have hormones rushing everywhere and giving her the urge to tackle her boyfriend to the ground. That was good. With Hugh as a big brother, that was definitely good.

"You come up with what you want to say, and I'll make sure I'm there to make him less prickly. I have just the trick that will mellow him out!" Mei grinned, tossing a piece of popcorn at her friend and flopping back onto the ground. "Kyoukyou has been travelling everywhere, apparently. He's back at the moment, but he's been having eating contests and all sorts. He challenged Hugh to a battle too, which is kind of amusing. I think Huey will actually win this time too, cause it seems like Kyou has been slacking off and he definitely, definitely hasn't." Mind flicked to the body she had seen weeks prior, and then the comfortable spot she'd had on his chest even more recently.

Yes, he definitely had not been slacking off.

"At least if he was fighting Skarmory then we'd know he was in tip top shape." She grinned, shrugging her shoulders. "I'm sure you'll manage to see all three of us together sometime soon, I'm going to try to keep the boys closer to home if I can. Maybe I should tie them to a tree or something so they don't go anywhere. Or cuff them to each other and then to me, so that they can't get away. I don't think my womanly wiles are enough to keep them in place, but physical manipulation might be." Mei laughed.

[KALULA TREASACH]

She listened quite intently to Mei's explanation with the occasional movement or two. So he wasn't fighting Skarmory? Well, that was good at least. She had always known Kyou to be kind of excitable like that. How he and Hugh, with Hugh's natural level headed thinking (Unless of course he was angry, but that was a stretch, as far as Kalula was concerned. But, at least he wasn't going off and hurting himself...in that way, anyway. She was glad the topic had shifted off herself, and she reached for the bowl of popcorn that rested by Kleo's muzzle, picking it up and dragging it into her lap. The cat lazily opened one eye, instantly noticing the absence of the buttery smell that had been in front of her for quite a while now. But what did she care? She had once, as a Purrlion, tried to eat a bowl of popcorn while Kalula and Hugh were busy squabbling. There were just too many flaky bits in it for her to deal with.

"Well, if you need help tying them to a tree, let me help you! I'm pretty sure we've got loooots of rope up in the attic!" She looked over to Kleo, who sighed through her nose. She took a handful of Popcorn and took it all up at once, coughing for a minute as she tried to get the substance out of her throat. Flaky bits, Kleo decided as she rested her head back on her paws. "Well, handcuffs seem a bit hard to deal with. I feel like they could drag you around, being the boys they are and all. Plus, wouldn't it be hard to go to the bathroom?" She mentioned through another bite of Popcorn. She blinked slowly. "But...you know, still." She started, giving a gentle sigh. "It would be nice if they weren't always running around so much. I mean, I guess I'm doing it now too, but they've been up to it for years, right? Woulda been nice to see them more than I have in the last two years." She mentioned, giving a small, quiet huff. Well, she had missed them. "But, you were around, so that was good! We got to hang out tons!~"

[MEI MORIMOTO]

Mei was practically bouncing in her seat. "I look forward to hearing about your escapades as a new lady in a relationship. I'm living vicariously through you now, Kaluchan, so you have to have enough romance for both of us!" She giggled, wiggling her hips as she took a flying tackle toward her friend - conveniently knocking the popcorn and sweets out all over the floor as she snuggled her. "Just make sure he doesn't have a cold sore when you kiss him though, because that'll get catchy and then you'll have one too and they really hurt, apparently. I haven't had enough kisses to know, but if you do get one just--yeah, they hurt."

The brunette nodded sagely, dropping her gaze back to the spilled popcorn and attempting to scoop it back into the bowl awkwardly. She gave the younger girl a sheepish laugh, then rubbed the back of her neck. "Kyoukyou and Hugh are very frustrating friends to have. I love them both dearly, but they're such boys sometimes. I swear, the first time they were back together they were ready to start beating each other up in a battle or with their fists. I never get why boys do that." Mei let out a squeaky giggle at the idea of being dragged around should Hugh and Kyouhei pair up.

Hugh on his own was enough to carry her - the pair of them dragging her around was a likely scenario, and she shrugged her shoulders, "If we were all together though, I don't think I'd mind them dragging me around. I'm so glad I've had you while they've been gone, Kalu, because I've been lonely even with you around. Is it weird that I still want to spend all my time with my best friends even though we're supposed to be growing up?" She let out a huff of air and sank back onto the carpet as she reached for an ungodly combination of popcorn and candy, holding it over her mouth for a moment.

"We'll still hang out tonnes even if the boys decide they can spend time with me again. I don't want them to get sick of me too quickly. Huey already probably gets too much of my company for his own good.. that's okay with you though, right? That-- it's still okay about my.." Her voice dropped, "My crush, right?"

[KALULA TREASACH]

"Wah!" She had expected her to do this at some point, but maybe not while she had a bowlful of Popcorn in her lap. She watched the
Popcorn and sweets as they all together rolled across the floor and she found herself locked in her friend's embrace. Her face was lightly pink when Mei mentioned not kissing Garett when he had a cold sore. She blinked. "Oh...I don't think I've ever seen Garett with a cold sore b-before..." She thought about it. "skid burns, cuts, and bruises maybe...but not cold sores." She though with a slight frown. But that was Garett. He was always hurting himself with these more or less foolish stunts he always tried to pull. What was worse? He acted like he didn't, around her anyway. It bothered her, but her smile soon returned as Mei kept talking about their little group.

"Well, Huey has always been hard to put up with. We've had a lot of times where we argue, even if we love each other no matter what." She mentioned. "But as far as I know that's normal, cause we're sister and brother." She continued to explain as she kept her brown eyes on the other brunette. "I think that's just how those two are always going to be. It's some kinda....er...dominance issue! That...or I've been watching too much of the discovery channel again." She said, not being able to help the laughter that followed. " I'm pretty sure that a show on that channel involving those two would get more views than the one on the Nature Battles: Buffoulant versus Tauros!" When she finally settled down, she continued to listen to Mei.

"Well Mei-Mei, I don't think it's weird. I mean, no matter where I've been in the past few months, I think about you guys a ton. I think I might talk Garett's ear off about home and the three of you more  than I had about my battles in the gyms!" She sighed. "But I haven't gotten up the courage to face Elesa yet. Even Burgh had been kinda hard for me to get past. And Roxie! Roxie nearly took Kleo out!" She mentioned, the cat growling slightly annoyed at the memory. But, Her attention was turned quickly back to Mei when she mentioned her crush on Hugh. Ah...that.

"Well...of course it's still alright Mei-Mei! I...well." She paused. She knew why Mei would ask that question. In the past, Kalula had been very possessive over her brother. She loved him more than anything else in the world. He had been her rock, and all she felt she could really count on in the world. "You know, it was a lot different back then." She mentioned, reffering to when Kleo had been taken away. "Hugh was all I had, with mom and dad being so busy all the time. I guess that I just felt like if he let anyone else come that close to him in life, that I'd lose my place with him." She smiled. "But that was silly. Cause I know Hugh is always gonna love me like he did back then. He has people in his life who he cares about, and so do I, but when it comes right down to it, my love for him has stayed the exact same." She mentioned, laughing afterwards. "So yeah! It's more than ok! Cause I want Hugh to be happy too!" Once again getting off topic, she grinned. "OH!~ You wanna see the badges I got?"

[MEI MORIMOTO]

It was easy to find the younger of the pair adorable. Kalula had an innocence remaining that Mei had lost and that in itself made her sweet. She didn't know about the worst in the world, didn't think about the things that most teenagers - Mei herself when it came to a spiky haired boy she just couldn't pin down - thought about and was generally still full of the child-like wonder that they had shared in their early years. It helped that whoever this boyfriend was, even if the older brunette hadn't met him yet, he wasn't pressuring Kalula into things she knew nothing about. "I bet you make the cutest nurse while he's all banged up too, don'tcha?" The pigtailed teen grinned, squeezing her friend and laughing. "As long as you know what's up, I'm sure everything is absolutely great."

Mei had never really struggled to get along with Kalula's brother. Perhaps because she wasn't his sister he was smoother and more gentle than with Kalu herself, or perhaps it was that they had coexisted for so veyr long as neighbours and friends, but the brunette knew somewhere that their bond was different than most. Even Kyouhei who was an equally vital part of their trio could argue with Hugh and get into the occasional fisticuff, but Mei always seemed to just get the softer moments. Not that she minded, and his temper had never been directed at her so she had little fear of it. "It might almost the same as those Nature Battles, really. I just hope they don't get too grumpy with one another and go off to other sides of the world again." She mused, releasing Kalula and settling a bit.

"You shouldn't be scared about fighting her though," Mei decided to focus on the talk about the badges, not on her friends. "I'm sure Elesa will be no match for Kleo, right?" The question was flung at the cat-pokemon, grinning from ear to ear as she sat up and wiggled behind Kalula, tugging at the bands in her hair to release it and start braiding slowly. "You've gotten so much stronger in the last year, Kalu. You've worked so hard. I'm really proud of you and I'm sure Hugh is too. You've gotta have confidence in yourself, too."

Deft fingers worked the strands into braids, and she peeked over her shoulder with a grin. "Good. As long as you don't mind, I'll start phase one of my 'make Huey notice that I want to kiss him properly' plan." Mei giggled quietly, nerves settled as she leaned over her shoulder to kiss the younger girl on her cheek, leaning back against the couch and picking up a combination of the spilled popcorn and candy, dropping it between her lips. "You're cute, of course I want to see them. And you'll have to show me where you're going to keep the one from Nimbasa, because in the morning I'm going to take you and you're going to challenge Elesa, okay?"

It was a spur of the moment decision, but Mei wanted to see Kalula battle and she thought briefly that it might be a good opportunity to offer her support. Elesa had seemed daunting to many people - she had taken out Kyouhei the first time they'd battled (the one time Mei had succeeded at something before Kyou had!) but she wasn't the worst out there. Drayden had definitely been the hardest in Mei's opinion. "We might even be able to convince the boys to come cheer you on too. You can have your own gym challenge cheer squad!"

[KALULA TREASACH]

"

Kalula had many reasons she was scared of Elesa. She knew the woman was really a tough leader, and that scared her because she had even had trouble with Roxy. Gym leaders altogether we much stronger than normal trainers. and the only reason she had felt so comfortable facing Cheren, was because she had known him for a long time prior. She smiled softly. He had been the funnest challenge she had faced, for sure. She looked at Kleo. For that battle, she had used her since traded Mothim, but it had still been a fairly hard fight. Cheren had always been skilled beyond his years. If it hadn't been for a few well place tips, she would have probably lost.
"Kleo, can you get the badge case please?" She asked. The cat stood up and went into the girls bag, pulling out a case and handing it to Kalula. She opened the case and handed it back to Mei. It displayed the three badges she already had, the other five spots were currently empty. She suddenly tensed. "Wait...in the morning? But Mei! I'm not!--...." She quieted as she though about it. Maybe the boys would be there? "....you think my big brother would come? I mean, he is busy..." Hugh was always busy, training, getting better. It made her proud, but sometimes it hurt. But she couldn't really complain. Lately, she had been busy herself.

She stood up suddenly, turning back to face Mei with a determined expression. "You know what? I'm gonna do it! I'll challenge the gym cause with you cheering for me I can't lose!" She had decided that was the truth. She 'd be able to beat Elesa as long as she knew that her friends were there for her. She smiled. The cat had heard Mei's comment about her not being able to lose and sauntered to the girl, licking her cheek a few times with a rasped tongue. It was also in a way, a thanks for giving Kalula the confidence she needed. Kalula suddenly collapsed to her knees so she was sitting, and she looked deep in though. "...But....I need a strategy, right?" She asked with a tilt of her head.

[MEI MORIMOTO]

In hindsight, Elesa was intimidating. Not only was the woman a gym leader but she was famous for other reasons. She could light up a stage and cast a crowd into silence. When she actually wanted something achieved, the thunder queen was definitely the person who could make it happen. But Mei had formed a sort of long lasting respect for her. Besides, Mei had beaten her and that had never seemed possible to the twin-tailed lass when she'd begun her journey all those years before.

Mei ran her hand over the edge of the case and smiled. Three badges was by no accounts a small feat - there was plenty of trainers without a single badge to their name but Kalula was the sister of Hugh Treasach and the best friend to Mei Morimoto. She had some pretty comfortable hands to give her a push in the right direction. "Why wouldn't he come, Kalu? You're being silly if you think he'd pass up a chance to get to see you battle! Besides, if we both see you we can give you pointers too! We've done that already so it'd be good to share some knowledge!"

Because in the brunette's mind, there was no better day than one spent with Kalula and Hugh. "Elesa has an Emolga, and that's her scary opponent. Because she's flying type she evades ground moves like earthquake and she's really fast too, which doesn't help you land a hit - especially if she uses volt switch, which attacks your pokemon and then brings out another of hers. It's a sneaky move she really likes." Pondering the strategy, Mei smiled at the cat pokemon and ran her fingers over the feline's head to scratch gently behind her ears.

She grinned to herself, taking a piece of candy and turning it over in her fingers a few times. "So you need a strategy to counter Emolga. Do you want to look at the Pokedex entry I have for her?"
