The venga boys CD could be heard from inside even though it was 11:30. "They're at it again? They ain't human." She muttered. A moment or so later Misty opened the door and dragged Wind in. "Are you ok!!!" Ash and Misty hugged her and started yelling at her unclearly. "Uhh... I'm fine. What's the matter?" Ash and Misty looked at each other for a second. "You mean they didn't detain you?" "No ... wait what do you know about that?" "Sabrina called us about some cereal neuron transmission failure." "Meaning?" "You might be insane... But I don't trust that Sabrina ever since I got turned into a doll." "What if I turn you into a doll?" Wind said sarcastically. "Your not powerful enough yet." Misty said a little apprehensively. "It's just a joke, I just need to lay low for a few days." Little did they know that Dev was sleeping the bleachers several yards away. Well, not sleeping, other sounds kept him awake. That voice, he thought. He got up and sprinted to the apartment and listened. "Thanks I appreciate it, I'll help out at the gym." He heard Wind say. "This way you could get some experience." Dev listened to the conversation a bit more. A wild pokemon trainer, how nice. He started to tiptoe away and slip on a wet spot which caused him to land in front of the door. He looked up at three staring figures. "Hi." He said meekly before he got slapped by Misty. "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WHERE DOING IN THE GYM AT NIGHT!" Misty said towering over everyone. "I was just trying to find a place to sleep..." "I'm calling the cops." Ash said calmly." "No don't," Wind interrupted reluctantly. "I know him." Misty calmed down a bit and saw Wind's tired face. Her eyes seemed so tired and old, she thought. "All right then, he can stay too." "Thanks." Dev looked over to Wind. She seems different. She has changed. Her body looks stronger and healthier, but tired and weak at the same time. Some of the life in her eyes are drained a bit. Wind and Dev just found themselves looking at each other for a moment before Dev discovered a Sandshrew smelling him. "Hey little guy." Dev said trying unsuccessfully to break the tension. "Sandshrew, Shrew, Sandshrew[Hi, I'm gonna go and leave you guys alone now]." Sandshrew then went to go raid the kitchen. By now Wind and Dev were alone in the room now. Dev reached out to touch her face. Wind pulled away quickly. "I can't deal with this right now." She said and ran into the guest room. Dev sighed and pulled out the bed within a couch. It turned out to be very uncomfortable and full of dents (pun intended). Dev laid awake for a little while, then fell into a deep slumber. Wind sat on the small bed with the lights on thinking. She walked out to the living room where Dev had already fallen asleep. She sat on a chair next to him and watched him breath softly and smile in his sleep. Even though his brother and his father didn't treat him right he was still a happy kid. Wind buried her face in her hands in a moment. Why did everything bad happen to her? Why's Dev back in my life? Will my life ever be moderatly happy? She felt like beating somebody down, instead she walked over the refrigerator. She tiptoed beside a sleep Sandshrew with it's paws around a can of spam. Then she got a carton of ice cream, turned on some sappy movie and sulked. +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+The Next Morning Dev woke up first. The sounds of a morning talk show was coming from the kitchen. Dev walked in and saw Wind slumped over on the table sleeping with a empty carton of ice cream. "Hey." Wind sat up. "Morning.. Uh, how's fluffy doing?" "Here why don't you see him, she missed you. Jigglypuff go!" "Jiggly Jiggly" It jumped into Winds arms. "Nice to see you too Fluffy." By now Sandshrew had gotten up and started licking the last of the ice cream. "Jiggy puff puff! [Hey I want some!]" Soon the tension easied off a bit, Wind and Dev decided to go out and train their pokemon a little and catch up, even though Wind felt a little stressed out. "Come on hurry!" Dev rushed down some stairs and jumped into the large pool. "Dratini! Bulbasaur! Spearow! Jigglypuff! Venonat go! Let's have some fun." Wind walked down a bit slower, the weight of her thoughts dragging her down. "Sandshrew, Gyarados, Gyarados, Kadabra, Butterfree, Pidgey, Wartortle, Goldeen, Raticiate go! Go play tag with Dev's pokemon..." Then Wind felt herself collapse and everything went black. Ok I know that kinda sucked, but I'm having a lack of inspirations lately.
