Part 3
The next morning in Pallet town was like every other morning. People were busy traveling back and forth around the street. The weather was just fine and everyone seems to be happy. The small houses of the town were like miniature dollhouses in the distance. The sun warmed the cold streets as people walked along the sidewalk and a few cars passed by. People greeted each other and kids ran along to school.
I hate groceries, Gold muttered as he walked along the sidewalk with Crystal, passing a few kids who were laughing aloud.
Well, its better than doing chores. And you better be happy I went with you. Crystal muttered as she examined a list of groceries.
Gold muttered as they continued to walk on. The day was just fine and it was already the seventh day the arrived in Pallet town.
Well, its your fault you ate up all of the food! Crystal teased.
I did not. Gold fought back.
Sure you didnt, Crystal laughed as they reached the grocery store.
After a few minutes, the two came out with grocery bags in each arm.
Why are we having so much things anyway? Gold asked as he struggled to look forward.
Dunno. The list just says so. Must be having a party or something.
Oh yeah. Isnt this the day where Green comes home from his research? Gold exclaimed.
Yep,
They continued to walk on, still struggling with the brown paper grocery bags. Sometimes, they stopped for a while, resting.
This is just great, Gold muttered sarcastically. And were not even halfway to Yellows house!
Ready, Gold? Crys asked as she stood up after a few seconds of rest.
Okay, whenever you are, Gold stood up and picked up the two groceries. Crystal did the same as she raised her two groceries.
Sweat started to form on Golds forehead as they continued the harrowing journey. But then, they heard a car stop next to them and someone come out. They didnt notice the tall figure that was right in front of them.
Scuse me, Said the man. You guys might want a little help?
Uh, sorry. Were just fine hereRed?
Crys was right. Red stood in front of them, with a bright smile. His hair was the same beforemessy and untidy. His black shirt was full of wrinkles and his blue jeans were dusty.
Long time no see, Crys! He said as he helped her with the two grocery bags. Whoa, these things are heavy! Red said as he lifted the bags.
Hey Red! Whats the big idea helping my girl and not me? Gold teased as he followed Red to his car. Nice car you got there.
Yep, Red replied as he placed the groceries in the trunk. I bet you guys heard that Yellows havin a baby, right?
Yeah. Thats why were here. We decided to help her while Green was gone a few days ago. Crystal said as she helped Gold with his bags.
Oh really? How is she?
Oh shes fine. Greens really busy, yknow. Gold replied.
Thats nice to know. Now, hop in!
The three of them went inside as Red started the car.
~*~*~*~
Crystal knocked on the door. Two other people were behind her, holding brown paper grocery bags. She waited for a while until she heard someone turning the knob.
Hey, Crys! Back already? Blue answered the door. Hey, whos thatRed?
Red smiled as Blue recognized him.
Red is that you? How did you get here? Blue was thrilled as she let them inside.
Same as always Red replied as she went inside the house and looked around. I heard Greens not here, right? He asked.
Yeah. But hes coming home todayI think. Blue replied as she led Gold and Red to the kitchen.
More people? Silver muttered as he passed through the kitchen.
Hey there Silverold buddyold pal Red replied but noticed that Silver already left the kitchen. So hey, wheres Yellow?
Oh shes upstairs. She needs rest you know. Maybe you can help.
Me? HelpwellI dunno
Come on, Red! Theres only two guys here and were having a hard time cleaning stuff up. Gold said as he placed the grocery bags over the kitchen counter. Ow my hands He muttered as he rubbed his hands.
Okay, okayso what do we do?
~*~*~*~
Didnt know you were coming here, Red. Yellow greeted him. They were sitting in the living room while the others are still doing things in the kitchen.
Oh, just came here to see how things are going since youre having a baby and all. Red replied.
The sun was already about to set and the orange rays streamed down the windows. Red just finished all of Gold and Silvers chores. They were smart enough to fool Red into doing their chores for them.
Oh thats nice of you. Greens really busy lately. Yellow sighed. Hes leaving again tomorrow for a convention in some cities.
SoGreen doesnt have much time, huh? Red muttered as he looked down and dusted his dingy pants.
Yellow simply looked out at the window. Nonot reallyRedare you still angry at him?
No, not really Red said.
Please forget about it, Redsome things come and goand when things go, just move on. Yellow pleaded to him.
Red sighed, as his gaze remained transfixed to the ground. Im sorry
Yellow smiled. Just forget about it, okay?
Red nodded and stood up. Man, isnt he coming or what?
~*~*~*~
Greens PokGear rang without stopping. Hey! Im already in front of my home you know! He yelled over the receiver. I dont want to talk to anyone for a while!
Green, we just wanted to remind you that the convention is tomorrow and it starts in Saffron city. Said one of his aides.
I know, I know already! Im turning off my phone now. So no one bothers me, right? With that, he closed his PokGear. This is ithis only time to spend time with his wife. Even though his friends might be here, theres nothing to worry about, right?
But then he noticed the red car parked in front of his house. What he heck is that doing in there? He muttered out loud. He made his was through the newly trimmed lawn and the hushed house. As he took every step, time seems to pass slowly. Finally, he found himself in front of the door. He knocked once, twice. Finally, the door opened for him.
Yellow answered the door. As soon as she saw her husband, she smiled and greeted him.
Hey, Green. She smiled.
Well, Im home for the night. Green said as he kissed her in the cheek.
As he went inside, he was shocked to see a certain someone who was in there.
Red? What are you doing here?
Hey! Hows it going? Just to see you and your wife thereyou knowstuff Red replied with a smile in his face.
As if the two would relive the tension between their rivalries back then but were stopped when the rest of the group greeted him.
Dude, we cleaned you house! Gold muttered as he patted Greens shoulder. Arent you happy for that.
Gold! Crys yelled. Thats stupid!
Oh, never mind then
~*~*~*~
Are you still angry at Red? Yellow asked Green. It was quite late that night. Everyone else was asleep except Green and Yellow. Why? She asked when she noticed Green nod. Youve always said that rivalry is childish and you wouldnt do it again.
The two were in their room, talking. Green was sitting on one side of the bed while Yellow was just next to him.
But, you dont see hereboth of uswe tried to win your heart before. Couldnt you remember?
I do, butGreen, hes not angry at you anymore. Just forgive him already! Yellow insisted.
Why should I forgive him? Green snapped.
Well, Yellow said as she nudged to Green a bit. Were marriedand Im having a babyisnt that enough for you?
Green fell silent. I guess it is absurd He muttered. Well, okay. Just for you, honey. He said.
Thanks, Green Yellow said then gave him a quick kiss on the lips.
~*~*~*~
The next day, Green left immediately. He felt that the people in the lab would be really angry since none of their calls reached him. He kissed his wife goodbye and waved goodbye to all his friends as he summoned out his Charizard.
Just call me! He yelled as he flew past them.
Boy, that was a short stay, Red muttered. Is he really on the go like that?
Yellow nodded as all of them went inside. Hes always hurrying to something. He even wants to put down his job just to be with me for a while, once.
Aww, how sweet. Blue remarked then nudged Silver. Why dont you do something sweet for me like that?
Silver mumbled as they all went inside. However, Gold and Crys were left outside.
Goldhave you ever though of uswellhaving a baby? Crys asked Gold as they both sat down on the rubbery grass.
Huh? But then we have to get married, right?
Crys nodded. Wouldnt it be great?
CrysI meando you really want to get married so soon?
Gold, I dont want to be your fianc for life you know. You asked me to marry you and why dont we get married? Crystal snapped at him.
Im sorry, Gold muttered. Im just not thinking ahead.
Not thinking ahead, huh? Crys teased him as she rested her head on his shoulder. Or is it the fact that you dont want to
Crys! Gold muttered. Theyll hear you!
Crys giggled as she held Golds hand. Im just kidding! I know what youre thinking most of the time. She said as she looked up at Gold. Like now
Gold smiled. You sure you know what Im thinking right now?
Yeahyoure thinking maybe at home.
Gold laughed. You guessed that one right! He stood up and started his way back to the house.
Gold, wait for me! She called as she followed him.
~*~*~*~
As the professors speech ended, claps filled the air. Green found himself surrounded by dozens of professors like him in Saffron city. He, too, clapped after the professors speech. However, he was bored to death while he was listening to it.
The convention was more boring than he thought. Eight hours of listening to hundreds of lectures from city to city. He never knew that it would be this long. As the next professor started, he was using his hand as a support in order to look up straight into the speaker.
~*~*~*~
After a few days Green left, everything seems to be fine at the house. No trouble and not much chores. Wellthat was what happened not counting that one day
That day, Yellow insisted on washing the dishes. Well, she won this time since it was embarrassing for guests to wash their own dishes. As Gold passed by in the kitchen, Yellow called him.
UhGold. She stammered.
Yep, anything you want me to do, Yellow? Gold said as he entered the kitchen.
Ccan you call Blue or Crysquick!
Whoa whats the fuss about? He muttered as Yellow seems to have screamed the last word.
As Blue entered, Yellow grasped her arm. II think my water broke
You water wha? Gold questioned her in midst of the panicking confusion.
Shes gonna have it, you idiot! Blue yelled as she stormed out of the kitchen. Get Red! Hurry! And call Green!
~*~*~*~
Red! You were from Pallet town, you know where the hospital is! Crys yelled as they manage to get Yellow in the backseat.
Seriously, no! Its been a long time and they changed the whole place! Red argued back.
Just drive! Yellow, just keep breathing, okay? Crys tried to keep herself calm as Red drove off.
IIll give directions Yellow muttered as she moaned in pain.
You sure? Red said as they continued their way to downtown.
Rright
Red swerved to the right, his car screeching along the way.
Red, take it easy! Were going to die here! Crys yelled.
Back in the house, the chaos was the same as in the car.
Call Green? I dont even know his number! Silver yelled to Gold.
Neither do I! We gotta find his number, quick!
Called Green yet? Blue asked the two as she came down the stairs with Steve in her arms.
Nope, we need his numberand I think I forgot it Gold replied.
Wheres your PokGear? Blue asked calmly.
Gold searched for his pockets. Oh noIm sure I left it in here somewhere
Gold! You better find that PokGear! Blue yelled in a threatening tone. You, too, Silver!
The two continued to search the house. And in minutes of fruitless searching, they found it. It was in Golds bottom pocket.
Okay, so what do we do? Gold muttered as he turned it on with his hands shaking.
Here, let me have it, Blue snatched the phone from Golds hands. She examined it and dialed Greens number and waited for an answer.
~*~*~*~
Part 4
Green sat there lazily in the Celadon convention. He has no hope of surviving these boring conventionsor is there?
Out of the silence, his phone rang. He cussed as he took it out and read who was calling. Golds name was in the receiver. As the phone continued to ring, everyone started to look at him.
Uhsorry He said as he opened the PokGear. Yeah, what is it? He muttered.
Green! This is Blue. Come here quick! Shes having the baby. Blue yelled from the receiver. More people looked at him as they heard Blue in the receiver.
She is? Thats great! Im on my way! He immediately turned off the phone and leapt up. YES! He yelled. More heads turned to where he stood. Oh, sorrymymy wife is having a baby He stammered as he ran out of the doors.
~*~*~*~
Here! Red said as he slammed on the breaks. The car screeched as it came to a stop in front of a white building in the middle of downtown Pallet town. You help Yellow. Ill be going in soon.
Crys nodded as she helped Yellow out of the car. They struggled to walk to the hospital doors. Diddid someone call Green? Yellow said as they went inside.
All I know is that Golds in charge of that Crys replied. I bet he has already.
Yellow smiled as nurses helped her this time. Crys was following her.
~*~*~*~
Green came bursting into the hospital door, panting and wheezing.
An extraordinary site greeted him. His own wife, carrying their baby. Their friends who have helped her way to the hospital surrounded her.
Its girl! Gold said as Green approached Yellow.
Yellow smiled weakly as she held their baby. She was sleeping in her arms. She was a beautiful newborn with rosy cheeks and a tuft of yellow hair. Her whole body wrapped in blankets.
Green sighed as he held his own daughter in his hands. He smiled as he looked to his wife who was smiling back.
Isnt she cute? Blue said, smiling. Shes gonna be like her mommy! Yellow laughed as she said the words.
Have you given her a name yet? Crys asked the two.
Wellwe were kind of thinking of a name Green said as he tried to remember the name.
Amy, right? Yellow asked him.
Yeah, Amy. Green repeated. Oh, and guys. Could you please give us some time together?
Everyone nodded and made their way out of the room. The door was closed and Green was now alone with his wife and his daughter. He kneeled down next to his wife as he gave his daughter to her. They both looked at her as she continued to sleep.
Look at hershe looks like you. Green whispered.
Yellow nodded as she sighed. Were one happy family now, huh?
Yeahand this time, Im going to spend a lot of time with you, Yellow.
Green? What about your job?
Green smiled. Dont worry about me. Im going to find a way to spend time with you and do my job at the same time.
You promise?
Green nodded. I promise. He moved forward and kissed Yellow to the lips. As they parted, their baby already woke up and was crying. Oops, I think you need to take care of her for now. Im going outside.
Yellow smiled and nodded as Green opened the door. He went outside to the white corridor where everyone else waited. Shes going to need some rest. He said to his friends.
Gold and Crys were sitting together and seems to be silent themselves. Silver was holding baby Steve with Blue on her side and finally, Red was sitting near the door. Excitement buzzed around them as Green sat with them.
So Greenhow are you going to spend time with your kid? Gold asked, who was right beside him.
DunnoIm going to have a lot of excuses at the lab He muttered. And I need rest. He sighed as he looked up at the ceiling. By the way, thanks for taking care of Yellow, guys.
Hey, no problem! Gold smiled.
Your welcome, Green. Crystal replied.
Anything for a friend. Silver muttered.
Yeah, what are friends for anyway?
Its no biggie. Anything for a guy like you, Green.
Green smiled as his friends replied one by one. He was happy himself since now that he has a daughter of his ownand now, hes thinking of spending more time with his wife.
The End
Hope you guys enjoyed it...
