Jason eyed Bob. Ben almost unconsciously placed himself between Alex and Jason, but that did not stop Alex from eyeing Jason as well. Sai took in the surrounding crew and their pokemon, calculating exactly how badly the duo were outnumbered. Mimic hmmed, annoyed. Jason broke first. "Do you MIND? That's getting on my nerves!" Mimic shrugged, his eyes closed. "Just thinking. Alex Aqua friends still nearby, right? Alex think Aqua friends able contact Team Magma?" "I suppose they could," Alex pondered, "but why?" "Oh, just to tell them their hoverbike here. And before ask, Mimic very certain: Mimic fly Jason, Sai into volcano base steal hoverbike. Mimic thank Jason, Sai for being distraction." > ------- > > Off in a wood area somewhere, Jeff and a now human Aerie were walking > back to the pokemon center.

A few minutes passed in silence, as each one's thoughts raced through their own paths. "Aerie?" "Yes, Jeff?" "You're melting." "Oh!" Aerie belatedly realised she had let her body start transforming without a target shape, and reasserted herself into human form. "Umm, sorry." "Uh, my hands are kind of stuck in your back." "WHAT?!?" The girl whipped around, trying to see in the moment before she processed that this would have taken Jeff's hands with her back - only to find his hands in the open. "Just kidding!" His arms collapsed into a hug as he chuckled. "Hey!" She squirmed in his hug, turning around to face him. "That wasn't fu-" Both kids were surprised to find themselves kissing, but neither had any immediate desire to stop. TBC? [NS: Too bad Rock Smash isn't super effective against writer's block.]
