-The next day-
Chris: *wakes up and yawns* I have to get ready for Cynthia's birthday party. I hope everything goes as plan. *runs downstairs* Mom, is everything ready for the party?
Chris's Mother: Yep, the cake is ready and cooling in the fridge. The decorations are in the closet and are ready to be set up.
Chris: And my gift for Cynthia?
Chris's Mother: *opens a cabinet and takes out a small box* Right here sweetie. Do you want it now or later?
Chris: Now please. I want with me at all times. *takes the box from his mother*
Chris's Mother: You really do care for her don't you? Only a person truly in love would go to such lengths for a woman. Just like how your father did for me. *eyes turns into hearts*
Chris: Mom, you're embarrassing and scaring me..... *blushes deeply*
Chris's Mother: *eyes turn back to normal* Oops, sorry. I'll try my best to keep myself under control. Now go take a shower. I'll have your clothes ready for you when you get out.
Chris: Fine. *leaves to take a shower*
Chris's Mother: *talking to herself* He is turning out just like you dear. *smiles*
-30 minutes later-
Chris: *gets out of the shower and dresses in a towel* Hmmm, I wonder what my mother has out for me? *walks out the bathroom to see a suit next to the present* Wow, this looks expensive. *gets dressed in the suit, grabs the present, then walk downstairs*
Chris's Mother: Do you like the suit? I see that it fits nicely.
Chris: Yea, it's nice. How much did this cost?
Chris's Mother: It was your father's. He wore it when he was your age.
Chris: Wow. *thinks to himself* "Dad had some good taste" *to his mother* I never asked this, but where is dad?
Chris's Mother: The time will come when you'll find out. For now let's prepare for the party.
Chris: Right! *sends out cyndaquil* Help my mother Cynda while I stall Cynthia for time.
Cyndaquil: CYN-DA-QUIL!!!
Chris: Thanks buddy. I'm off now.
Chris's Mother: Don't forget the present. *tosses Chris the present*
Chris: *catches the present and puts it in his pocket* Right, thanks mom. I'm off now. *leaves*
-Chris gleefully runs over to Cynthia's home. Chris is greeted by Cynthia's Mother-
Chris: Hi!
Cynthia's Mother: Oh, well hello Chris. How are you?
Chris: Good. Is Cynthia home?
Cynthia's Mother: Yes she is; she is just getting dress and I must say, you look very nice. What's the occasion?
Chris: Cynthia's birthday obviously.
Cynthia's Mother: Oh yes, I forgot that you knew that. What did you get her?
Chris: It's a secret. Nobody is allowed to know but me. Not even my mother knows what i got her.
Cynthia's Mother: Ooh so secretive. It must be very expensive and nice. I knew that you liked her a lot.
Chris: *blushes* Why does everyone say that?!?!? We're just friends even though last night... *blushes even more*
Cynthia's Mother: *notices Chris blushing* What happened last night? *gives Chris a death stare*
Chris: Uuh uuh *notices Cynthia* Look!!! There's Cynthia!!!
-Cynthia walks downstairs in a beautiful pink dress while wearing a flower crown-
Cynthia's Mother: Awwww, you look so beautiful.
Cynthia: *blushes* Stop you're embarrassing me!!
Cynthia's Mother: *looks at Chris and smirks* What do you think Chris?
Chris: *shocked* Huh? What?!?!
Cynthia's Mother: Doesn't Cynthia look nice?
Chris: *looks at Cynthia and doesn't stop staring then thinks to himself* She's so beautiful, so very very beautiful. *heart beats faster* What is this feeling I'm having? Could it be love?
Cynthia's Mother: *notices Chris staring and has a devious smirk* Uuh Chris? You there? *snaps her fingers in Chris's face*
Chris: *jolts back to normal* Huh what?
Cynthia: You was zoned out there. Something wrong? *she says while turning her head slightly*
Chris: No no nothing is wrong. Happy Birthday Cynthia.
Cynthia: Aww thanks. *walks up to Chris and hugs him* Well we're about to go now mom.
Cynthia's Mother: Cynthia, can you wait outside for a minute; I have to talk to Chris about something important.
Cynthia: Okay..... *walks outside and closes the door behind her*
Chris: So what did you want to talk?
Cynthia's Mother: *holds Chris against a wall* I know that you love her. I could see it in your eyes. All i have to say is that if you do anything to hurt her no pokemon on this planet will be able to protect you from me. Understand me?
Chris: *gulps* y-yes ma'am, very understood. *thinks to himself* She's insane!!!!!!!! *to her* b-by t-the way the party starts in 1 hour at my house and it is of up most importance that Cynthia doesn't find out about it. Can you please let me go now?
Cynthia's Mother: Fine, but remember what I said. *lets Chris go* Now, I will head over to your house and help your mother with setting up for the party.
Chris: Okay, just don't hurt my mother or cyndaquil.
Cynthia's Mother: I would never do that. *says sarcastically*
Chris: *gives her a death stare* Now you listen to me. If you so much as touch my mother or cyndaquil, no pokemon on and/or off this planet will protect you from me. Got that?!?
Cynthia's Mother: Fine fine. I won't mess with them.
Chris: Good, Cynthia has been waiting for me and I don't want her waiting even more. Bye now. *leaves*
Cynthia: What did you two talk about?
Chris: I don't want to talk about it. You look very beautiful.
Cynthia: *blushes* Thanks. You look very handsome.
Chris: *blushes* Thanks. What do you wanna first?
Cynthia: This. *as she was about to kiss Chris her mother walks out of the house and the kiss immediately turned in to a hug*
Cynthia's Mother: What's going on out here?
Cynthia: N-nothing, nothing at all.
Cynthia's Mother: Is that so? Ok then, I'm heading over to talk to Chris's mom for a moment.
Cynthia: Okay, bye.
-Cynthia's mother leaves-
Cynthia: Is she gone?
Chris: Yep
Cynthia: Good. *kisses Chris on the cheek* I want to go on that mission Professor Elm wanted us to do.
Chris: *face is completely red* Can that wait until later? We can go fishing if you want.
Cynthia: Fine, lets have a fishing contest. First one to fish a staryu wins; okay?
Chris: *pulls out two super rods and gives one to Cynthia* Okay.
-They go to the lake near Chris's house and have a 30 minutes fishing contest with Cynthia winning-
Chris: Good job. You're a natural.
Cynthia: Says the person who hardly even fished, you let me win. *punches Chris in the arm*
Chris: Ouch. *laughs and smiles* what do you want to do next?
Cynthia: I don't know. *leans on Chris* Lets just sit here for awhile, okay?
Chris: Okay.
-They sit next to the lake looking into the sunset for 30 more minutes when they hear the voice of Chris's mother-
Chris's Mother: Chris, Cynthia!! Come here.
Chris: *thinks to himself* It's time. *to Cynthia* Let's go. *grabs Cynthia's hand and takes her to the house* Cover your eyes.
Cynthia: okay, if you say so. *covers her eyes*
-They walk into the house-
Chris: Alright, you can uncover your eyes now.
Cynthia: *uncover her eyes and sees a beautifully decorated house* W-wow. I'm speechless. *gets starry eyed*
Everyone in the room: HAPPY BIRTHDAY CYNTHIA!!!!!
Cynthia: Thanks everyone. *starts tearing up* This is so beautiful.
Professor Elm: Don't thank us, thank Chris. He's the one who planned all of this for you.
Cynthia: *looks at Chris* REALLY CHRIS?!?
Chris: *scratches the back of his head* heheh yea.
Cynthia: *tackles Chris then kisses him on the lips* Thank you so much. *she says with tears in her eyes*
Chris: Don't worry about it.
-Cynthia then realizes what she had done then the room is filled with silence-
Everyone In The Room: Finally!!!
Chris and Cynthia: Wha???
Professor Elm: We've all been waiting for you two to kiss for a long time.
Professor's Aide: You got that right
Cynthia: So, you're not mad mom?
Cynthia's Mother: Of course not. I've been waiting for the day that you two would kiss.
Chris's Mother: I've been waiting for the day that you two will start dating. So are you two going to start dating?
Cynthia's Mother: I don't oppose the idea.
Chris: I don't either, but the choice is Cynthia's after all since it is her birthday. So what do you say Cynthia?
-Cynthia face turns red and she runs outside crying-
Chris: Crap! I'm going to calm her down alone. *goes to find Cynthia-
Cynthia: *sobbing in a tree*
Chris: *sees Cynthia in the tree* Hey, you okay up there?
Cynthia: *surprised that Chris found her* How did you find me?
Chris: One, I could hear you crying. Two, this is the place where we first met; why wouldn't I look here first? Look I'm sorry for putting you on the spot like that. I'm sorry and I hope you can forgive me.
Cynthia: *wiping tears from her eyes* Can you come up here please? I need someone to hug and a tree won't help.
Chris: *smiles* fine *climbs the tree and sits next to Cynthia*
-Cynthia hugs Chris and Chris hugs Cynthia for awhile-
Chris: The stars look beautiful tonight.
Cynthia: *looks at the starry sky* They sure are.
Chris: I have a gift for you. *hands Cynthia a small box*
Cynthia: Really? I wonder what it is? *opens the box and is extremely surprised*
-The box had a diamond necklace with a Starmie shaped diamond on it-
Cynthia: Really Chris?!?!?!?!? How did you even afford it?!?!?!
Chris: I saved up since we were ten. The original plan was to give it to you on your twelfth birthday but the delivery got delayed a few months so I decided to give it to you today.
Cynthia: Thanks so much. *puts the necklace on* I really appreciate it.
Chris: Cynthia, I have something important to tell you.
Cynthia: *looks Chris dead in the eyes* What is it Chris?
Chris: *Is looking Cynthia dead in eyes while blushing* I.... I....
Cynthia: Hmm?
Chris: I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!! There, I finally said it.....
Cynthia: *blushes like crazy* Huh??? R-really?.....
Chris: Yes, really.
Cynthia: Prove it!
Chris: *kisses Cynthia on the lips* Is that enough proof for you?
Cynthia: *is blushing like crazy* Y-yes *looks at Chris and says* I love you too.
Chris: *also is blushing like crazy* Well do you or do you not want to be my girlfriend?
Cynthia: Yes, of course! *kisses Chris*
Chris: *kisses Cynthia back* Great! We should head back to the house.
Cynthia: Yeah, we should.
