Popplio's P.O.V.

I was lying down on my bed, feeling my forehead all steaming up with a bag of ice on it. I was a total mess of a blushing face when Chairo kissed me on the lips.

Popplio: (This heat is killing me... Dang it, why am I blushing so much? Keep it together Popplio, it's just a kiss... a sweet kiss... a very loving- WAIT NO!! AAAGHH!!)

The ice on my forehead melted by the heat which I quickly threw away across the room and I cover my head with my pillow before screaming in it, after a while, I sigh and threw the pillow off of my head.

Popplio: *Sigh* "I haven't been this flustered ever since I fell for Litten... Wait, could it be that I-"

???: *Opens the door* "Yo Pops!"

Popplio: "Huh? Oh, hey Hyde."

Hyde: *Barks and groans* "You feeling better already?"

Popplio: "Yeah, I'm all good now. Did I miss something?"

Hyde: *Giggles* "A lot really. Chairo lift you up like a Cinderella while you were all red with a stupid smile! Here, I have a picture!"

Hyde shows me a picture on his phone, he was right, I looked so stupid in his arms which makes me blushes out of embarrassment and I hide my face using my other pillow.

Popplio: "I looked so stupid in front of him..."

Hyde: "Heh, you better believe that Litten was fighting with Chairo for who gets to lift you up to your room."

Popplio: "Huh? He was fighting over that?"

Hyde: "Yep! I can sense how jealous he is when Chairo lift you up, he's boiling!"

Popplio: "Oh boy..." *Starts blanking out*

Hyde: "By the way, you wouldn't believe what we were doing while you were out! You see, Comfey dare-"

I wasn't really focusing on what Hyde was saying, instead I was blanking out, staring into nothingness while imagining how Chairo was fighting Litten over me like in the fairy tale

Litten: *Roars out fire* "Hand over the princess to me!!"

Popplio: "Kyaa! Help me Prince Chairo!"

Chairo: "I will not hand over princess Popplio to you, evil dragon! She will remain close to her loving prince for the rest of her life!"

Popplio: *Eyes sparkles* "My hero~"

Litten: "You will regret this!! You will die by my claws!!"

Chairo: "Not today!! Hyaaah!!"

Popplio: "Go Prince Chairo! Defeat that dragon!"

(Author's note: Honestly, why can't I stop giggling writing her imagination? XD)

Popplio: *Giggles with a stupid smile* "Go~ My hero~"

Hyde: "And BAM!! Zorua almost hit the TV! Good thing it went through the open window!! Isn't that crazy?!!"

Popplio: "Hehe~"

Hyde: "Popplio?" *Snaps his fingers* "POPSICLE!!"

Popplio: "Ah! Oh, what is it?"

Hyde: "You were blanking out. Is something wrong?"

Popplio: "Umm... nothing? Haha..."

Hyde: "Right... Anyway, we're going off to watch a movie. You wanna come along?"

Popplio: "Sounds awesome! Count me in!"

Hyde: "We'll be waiting for you then, don't be long!"

After Hyde left my room, I quickly put on my jacket and look at myself through the mirror to fix my hair. While doing so, I saw Shiro again through the mirror and she was sitting on the bed while smiling at me.

Shiro: *Giggles* "Who would've thought Snivy would give out such dare huh?"

Popplio: *Blushes* "Y-Yeah... I hope you don't mind..."

Shiro: "Well, it's about time he found someone though. And to tell you the truth?"

Popplio: "Huh?"

Shiro: "If there is a girl I could depend on to take care of him, it would be you, Popplio."

Popplio: "Shiro..."

Shiro: "Popplio? Promise me to make him happy for me, alright!?" *Smiles widely*

I could only smile back before turning around and saw she is not there anymore, tear flow out of my eyes before I wipe it away and runs out of my room.

Popplio: "... I promise..."

Everyone was waiting for me in front of the house while Chairo's group was teasing Chairo because of the kiss he did.

Zorua: "Hehe, so Chairo? You and Popplio eh?"

Chairo: *Blushes* "Sh-Shut up..."

Shinx: "We're so proud to see you finally found someone!"

Chairo: "B-But-"

Tuki: "Awww don't be like that! You and her are so close!!!"

Snivy: "Hehe, be proud of yourself."

Chairo: *Grits his teeth* "You'll pay dearly, Snivy..."

Litten: "... Cih!"

Popplio: "Hey guys! Sorry to keep you waiting!"

Rowlet: "About time! We're going to be late to see the premiere!"

Popplio: "Premiere?"

Pikachu: "Yeah! A movie name "The Empress of the White Snow" is premiere today! I heard it's the best action and historical-fantasy movie of all time! It takes place in the samurai era!"

Popplio: "Wow, sounds like a very great movie!"

Braixen: "We should get going then. The seats will be taken if we not hurry."

Comfey: "Will Dartix take us to the Theatre?"

Rowlet: "Nope, he's busy with his work."

Litten: "We're taking public bus for now since my Dad is still out."

Dewott: "Let's go then!"

Everyone: "Yeah!"

-

-

-

After we finally arrived at the theatre, we soon found out that the tickets are all sold out, we were too late.

Rowlet: "Nooo!! We're too late!!"

Litten: "Great. It seems like we'll be waiting for another hour so we can watch the movie."

Dewott: "Ugh... I hate waiting..."

Chairo: "Look on the bright side. Atleast we can still have a turn to watch the movie."

Mimikyu: "Let's just buy the tickets and wait."

We all went to buy the tickets, taking the seats close to each other before we stand around the waiting room, waiting for the other studio to finish.

Litten: "This might take a while..."

Brionne: "Hey Litten?"

Litten: *Looks at her* "Yeah?"

Brionne: *Bring a chocolate close to his lips* "Aaah~"

Litten: "Heh, aah~" *Eats the chocolate* "Mmm~ Thanks Brionne." *Kisses her cheek*

Brionne: *Blushes* "N-No problem Litten."

Dewott: *Hugs Braixen* "Mmm~ You're so soft~"

Braixen: *Blushes madly* "D-Dewott, people will look at us..."

Dewott: "I don't care. It's cold in here anyway."

Braixen: *Hides her face out of embarrassment*

Rowlet: "You got something on your face." *Rubs something off of Mimikyu's face*

Mimikyu: *Blushes a bit* "O-Oh, thanks."

Popplio: "Ugh... This is more like a dating spot than a waiting room..."

Snivy: "Meh, it's common for them to do so."

Popplio: "... Aren't you guys feeling lonely seeing a lot of our friends are dating?"

Zorua: "Hmm? Well, I have something else to do. Dating or not, I don't care. If it doesn't stop my goal, then fine by me."

Shinx: "I agree with him."

Popplio: *Sigh* "I'll go buy some snacks..."

I walked out of the waiting room to where the food is being sell but I took notice Chairo was there as well in a waiting line to buy popcorn.

Popplio: *Blushes* (Oh Arceus it's him! Okay Popplio, just walk up to him and say hi!) *Walks towards him*

Chairo: *Looks at her* "Oh? Hi Popplio."

Popplio: "H-Hi Handsom- No! I-I mean g-good day, Chairo!"

Chairo: "Huh? You okay? You looked a little... red."

Popplio: "I-I'm okay! I just wanna buy dreamy- I mean food! Yes! Food!"

Chairo: "Oh really? Alright, you can wait in line with me if you like."

Popplio: "Y-Yes! I'll be happy to!"

Me and Chairo was standing next to each other while waiting in line, but I can't get over the fact that I'm close to him which made my blush seems uncontrollable.

Popplio: *Mumbles* "Oh boy... I'm so embarrassed..."

Chairo: "What was that?"

Popplio: "Nothing! It's nothing!"

Chairo: "Oh, alright."

Popplio: (Close one...)

Chairo: "Hey Popplio?"

Popplio: "Y-Yeah?"

Chairo: "I'm sorry about what I did to you just now. I wasn't able to back down and I wanted it to end quickly. I hope you weren't mad at me..."

Popplio: "O-Oh! It's okay! I'm not mad at you! It's a dare after all!"

Chairo: "Really? You're okay with it?"

Popplio: "Yep! I'm completely fine with it!"

Chairo: *Smiles and holds her hand* "Thanks, Popplio."

Popplio: *Blushes madly* "Y-You're welcome?"

Chairo: "Hmm? You're all red, are you sure you're okay?"

Popplio: "Y-Yeah! Nothing out of the ordinary! Haha..."

Chairo: "Heh, whatever you say."

After a while of waiting, we finally bought our own popcorn and cola just in time when we heard that the movie is about to star soon.

Popplio: "Oh shoot! We better hurry! They'll be waiting for us!"

Chairo: "Yeah."

The two of us head into the studio and somehow managed to get into our seat. Luckily, I was sitting beside Chairo and I was glad that Litten was a little further from us.

Popplio: "Fyuh... made it..."

Fennekin: "Where were you two?"

Chairo: "Just going out to buy some snacks, that's all."

Zorua: "Mind if we share?"

Chairo: "Sure. It's a big bucket after all."

Litten: "Shh! It's starting!"

The studio's light went off and the movie started out pretty nicely with the main character who is a Weavile trading rings made out of leaf blades with a Quilava.

Weavile: "Oh... What is this?"

Quilava: "These are the rings I made myself. It's to show how equally big our love is towards each other."

Weavile: *Blushes* "O-Oh my..."

Quilava: "And I was thinking... We should always put this on. And we should take off the ring if we ever get caught in danger."

Weavile: "Huh? Why?"

Quilava: "So we can tell that we are in danger, like being kidnapped or something, so when we meet each other again, we put the ring back to the righteous owner."

Weavile: "Oh! That's a good idea!"

Quilava: *Bring up his pinkie* "Let's promise to do it."

Weavile: *Puts her pinkie on his* "Promise!"

Popplio: "Awww~"

-

-

I have no words to how good this movie is. The plot advanced so tragically, Quilava got kidnapped and leave his leaf ring. Weavile decides to look for him while being helped by her trusty warriors that die one by one along their journey to find him an return the ring back.

Popplio: "Oh my..."

Chairo: "..." *Holds her hand*

Popplio: "Huh?" *Looks at him and blushes a bit*

Chairo: "Get comfy."

Popplio: "O-Okay..."

-

-

We get to the climax of the movie where they fought the real boss that they thought was the one who imprisoned Quilava, but when Weavile destroy the boss's mask using her ice power, to her shock it was Quilava himself and he turned out to be mind-controlled

Weavile: "Q-Quilava?!"

Quilava: "Grrr... gEt OUt oF mY TerRITORy!! YoU caN NeVER deFEAT mE!!!"

Jolteon: "Lady Weavile! Look out!"

Popplio: "No... it can't be..."

-

-

The movie ended with Weavile sitting down on the ground while watching the sunrise while gripping the leaf ring on her claws.

Jolteon: "Lady Weavile... I'm sorry that all of this happened..."

Machoke: "We didn't know that Sir Quilava would betray us like that..."

Weavile: "... No, he didn't betray us. He is mind-controlled by someone else. And he's still out there, causing havoc..."

Machoke: "We should return to the palace, you'd be safer there sire."

Weavile: "... I promise him that if he's in danger, I will save him and return this ring to him." *Gets up* "I won't give up till I fulfil that promise."

Chairo: "Wow..."

Jolteon: "You can't fulfil that without help, your majesty. I'll go with you."

Machoke: "Me too. I was destined to keep you safe, your majesty."

Weavile: *Smiles* "Thanks, you two."

She brought her spear up and pointed out to the sunrise with beautiful rainbow above it.

Weavile: "Now let's go! To where the rainbow guides us!"

Popplio: *Tears up* "Beautiful..."

After watching the movie, we walked out of the theatre towards the bus terminal while chatting to each other.

Rowlet: "Man that was so awesome! Can't wait for the sequel!"

Zorua: "That Weavile was so cool with her ice moves! She was all hyah! Wuah! Haiyah!"

Dewott: "Yeah!! And her spear technique is super neat!!"

Brionne: "The story was so touching, it was so beautiful."

Litten: "Heh, yeah. It was so great."

Chairo: "You enjoy the movie?"

Popplio: "Hell yeah! I feel like that Weavile Empress is my idol now!"

Chairo: "You know? She kinda reminds me a lot about you."

Popplio: "Huh? Really?"

Chairo: "Yeah. The determination, the beauty, the graceful acting, the way of battling, it's just like you."

Popplio: *Blushes* "Th-Thanks."

Chairo: "Hey? How about we make that chocolate soup when we get home?"

Popplio: "Sure, I'd love to."

Chairo suddenly stopped walking when he notice a hint of snow fell on his nose. He looked up and saw it was falling snow.

Chairo: "Oh? Snowing already?"

Popplio: "Uh-oh, and we didn't wear any warm jacket. We should really head back!"

Chairo: "Right."
