[Yeah well. Vinnie's not looking too chipper either.

He's flipping his phone open and closed, irritably. Looking at you like you owe him answers.]

[Hey look, for once in her life, Sasha is thinking, and she shoves HER phone under his nose and points to the messages 'Vinnie's lover' has sent her.]

Explain that.

[He flips through a few of the messages in her inbox, face twisting into an expression of revulsion as he skimmed through them.]

Uh, okay. All of this is complete bullshit. Are you serious? You think I have secret gay affairs with a Sex Pony. Do you know how stupid that sounds.

Well yeah! How do you think the Big Daddy thing sounds to me?

[Twitch.] They were sent from your phone.

[You wanna see proof now? Here you go, an inbox full of it.]

[Looks over.]

WHAT THE HELL?

[She looks over her phone and...they are there too! Like she sent them out!]

WHAT THE FUCK!

[The phone gets dropped in surprise like she wants nothing to have to do with it.]

Ewww!

[Wh-- hey, that was his phone you just dropped! Vinnie scrambles to pick it up from the floor, hoping that the hinge wasn't broken in the fall. He liked his phone, dammit.]

See?! What the fuck am I supposed t'think when I'm getting this crap sent to me... from you? You think I seriously doubt that you'd keep things from me?

Going on dates like they're no big deal... Having ten guys into you... How the hell exactly does that happen?!

[Oh my Arceus, he did not say that.]

EXCUSE ME? Haven't we shared everything before? I always told you about whatever plans I was planning. When we got here, you just..started getting paranoid overload! I can't even say hi to a guy and you're behind me! And now you're dragging MARIE into your crazy plans!

I already had Char laugh at me for having ten guys liking me. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THAT HAPPENED. I already told you that nothing happened. Why can't you trust me when I talk about that?!

Yeah, cuz we were stuck on a mountain. Then we get here and there's boys you wanna look at and, you know what? I've been a teenager before too! Teenagers make fucking piss-awful decisions.

I already laid off Max cuz you said if you really were interested in someone, you'd tell me. Then I had to find out the hard way that you gave all those people free tickets behind my back?!

I guess those dates went too well. How many did you go on, anyway? Cuz you never told me that, either!

I can make my own decisions fine, thanks. I don't want to disappoint Red and so far it's served me well, least we forget our history together. What's with everyone thinking I'll suddenly be in heat around guys?!

..[She sits on his bed in anger] I didn't have any money for Christmas so gave them to some of the guys. Only six of them! And in that, only Max, Mac, Knuckles and Poo used them. And then, somehow, one of them got copied, and found its way all around campus. Suddenly there was much more than four people at my door.

And you know what?

It was fun! I got to explore a lot of the city! Most of the people already dated or liked people! [not mentioning that part disappointed her, of course]. They weren't dates, they were ways for be to meet up new friends. And that love detector thing is ...

[She has trouble explaining that one.]

...I don't get it either. Then again I entered a bunch of names too just to see the compatibilities. I bet most of those aren't even legit.

Edited 2011-02-10 11:52 (UTC)

Maybe it's cuz you were cooped up with the same six guys on an ice mountain forever. It's not like you'd ever be interested in us. And now you have an entire school of people to look at!

Maybe two or three on that dumbass love machine's just a fluke. I have no idea where mine came from. But you don't score the most desirable person at the school by accident. And you were happy about it.

You're not even thinking about it, are you. Do you really think having a human boyfriend would work out? Or would that relationship just be for fun, too?

Edited 2011-02-10 12:10 (UTC)

I'm allowed to be happy! I'm glad guys like me! Who wouldn't be happy to know other people like them?! Not that I'm even planning anything so why I am telling you this I DON'T KNOW but there's been a bunch of Pokemon with students and teachers who have dated and even Arceus herself is married to one. Or did you forget that just to make fun of me?!

[Suddenly her voice is very, very voice, and in a near whisper. There might be smoking coming out of her mouth at this point.]

Not interested in any of you? YOU'D BE THE MOST SURPRISED ABOUT THAT-

[And suddenly she stops to talk and clamps her mouth shut with her two hands, ignoring the burn marks she is getting from the fragile human skin.

Oh no oh on oh no oh no she should not have said that, oh no. Sasha looks horrified.]

Are you seriously comparing yourself to God? Godlady can do whatever the hell she wants! She doesn't have a trainer to stick with! You think with this boyfriend crap, they're gonna be comfortable with you devoted to someone else?

I can't afford to spread my loyalty that thin, but I guess you're free t...

[Pause. Though his anger wasn't subsiding, confusion was quickly trickling into the mix.]

And what exactly am I supposed t'be surprised about?

[Sasha was suddenly very quiet and refused to answer anything, going into some sort of panic mode because this was the last thing she ever wanted to tell Vinnie in her entire life. It could jeopardize everything! Red team, their friendship...but perhaps her silence is all the answer he needed.]

[Well. Vinnie's wasn't gonna be able to put the pieces together unless she said something. And she had suddenly gone quiet. He stared at her, unimpressed by her inability to continue justifying herself.

Fine, if she didn't want to continue this conversation... if she didn't want to face facts, then he had nothing more to say to her on the subject either.

The Venusaur curtly stood up from his chair and slid the phone back into his pockets. His tone was going from anger to pure and simple cold. Something in the pit of him hurt with the words he said, but it was so much easier just to simmer in his rage than to acknowledge what it could be.]

Fine. You think you know everything, that you can handle all that shit by yourself? You want me to butt out so bad? Then fine.

I guess you don't need protecting.

Have a good Valentine's.

[He walked out of his own room, into the decorated hallways to clear his head. The door was left ajar, as though to state that she'd better be off his bed and gone by the time he came back.]

[She looks down at her slightly burnt hands, and the tingling sensation that comes when her tears hit them...she ruined everything.

And then does something incredibly stupid. Brave nature can sometimes make you do terrible things. In a half-attempt to try to fix what turned out wrong, she runs after him in the corridor.]

Vinnie! Wait!

[As mad as he was, here was no way Vinnie could actually block out and ignore the call of his little sister - he just wasn't wired that way. So he stopped in his tracks and turned back around to face her, just to see what else she had to say for herself.

Did he look happy about it? Not even a little bit. He doubted there was any one thing she could say or do that would lift this pissed off mood that had been building pretty much all winter.]

[All the face pouting, do you see it? There are some tears but mostly she is trying to look imposing.]

You. Are. An asshole who assumes too many things.

[She walks closer, branding a finger, pushing it to his chest.]

You think that you understand me, but you really don't. Sometimes I wonder why we even got along at all...it's not like we did at first.

[And she walks even closer. SLAP! It's a light tap to his face, all things considered. There's no weight to it.]

That's for thinking that I wouldn't tell you if I was dating a guy. [Pointing a finger while he's still dazed.] I trust you, okay? STOP BEING PARANOID! I was only worried about this person because it seemed so fishy to me. I just needed to hear it out of your own mouth. If I was dating anyone, you'd be the first to know. I would never keep it a secret from you. You want to know why?

[She grabs him. And gives him a kiss that is a little too close near the lips for comfort and lasts just barely a second, but it's more personal than she's ever done with him before. Then, pushes him a way. Wooha what the hell Sasha, tat is a terrible way of showing you care. It's leaivng her with definitely mixed feelings herself too. It's okay tho...okay no it's not, she looks completely confused at what she did herself, A++ work there, champion Charizard]

I like you Vinnie. As a teammate, as a friend as...what am I even saying you already know all this crap.

[Pause]

You're an asshole...but I guess that's why I like you. You're important to me. That's why I wouldn't keep secrets away from you.

[Except maybe this one. Or is it a secret. Or is it just caring? SHE DOESN'T KNOW ANYMORE. And then, in a show of utter bravery and deep respect for him and how he might answer back...

She runs out of there.

Guess even her brave nature has to run out, sometimes.]

[Vinnie was about to counter her accusations with his own - she had the gall to say that shit to him when all he ever did was try to look out for her? He gave up so much to protect her, and she had no way to understand the toll it took on him. She'd already hid her dates from him, it didn't matter if they were just friend-dates or a casual crush. He didn't see the distinction, and he just expected... hell if he knew anymore.

Shock muted all the indignation, anger, hurt inside him in that brief moment, and before they could trickle back Sasha had grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him in.

This wasn't really happening. His brain shut down, rejecting the information coming in, the words she was saying. All Vinnie could focus on was the sick feeling blooming in his chest, one he couldn't understand. He could only grasp this alien discomfort by funneling it into the deep well of frustration holed up in him.

The lack of control he had on his life was suffocating. Maybe he just didn't know his little sister anymore. Vinnie just didn't know anything anymore. Whatever that kiss had meant...

Clearly, it was time to sulk off and fume.]
