In a very quiet night, sadness surrounds Dan's home as his parents were sitting at the living room together while looking worried.

Torracat: ... *Sigh* So it was true after all...

Alolan Raichu: Yeah... The test just came in, and... it looks like there is no way around it.

Dan was sitting in his bedroom while looking at a paper that he is holding on his paws, he looked pretty scared yet sad at the same time.

Dan: ... No... Not now...

The next morning, Tuki and Ocean were walking up to the hills where Dan's home is while bringing some foods with them.

Tuki: I'm sure Dan will be pleased once he tastes the food I made!

Ocean: *Giggles* I'm sure he'll love your soft cream cheese cookies that you made for him.

Tuki: *Blushes* You really think so?

Ocean: Certainly.

The two of them arrived at Dan's home before they knocks on the door, Torracat opens the door but he looked at them with a worried look on his face.

Tuki: Good day, Torracat!

Torracat: Hey...

Ocean: Hmm? Is everything alright?

Torracat: Y-Yeah, there were some things going on. But... there's no need to worry about it.

Alolan Raichu: Dear? Who's on the door?

Torracat: It's Ocean and Tuki, they come to pay visit.

Alolan Raichu: Let them in.

They were brought in and they all sat in the living room while Ocean gives the foods she has to Dan's parents.

Ocean: Here you go, I made it myself.

Alolan Raichu: Thanks for your hospitality.

Tuki: Oh Ms. Raichu? Is Dan around?

Hearing Dan's name suddenly made the two of them silent a bit which is very suspicious.

Ocean: Hmm?

Alolan Raichu: Umm... He's...

Dan: I'm here.

They all saw Dan walking up to them with a serious look on his face, Tuki was happy to see him before she ran towards him.

Tuki: *Smiles* Hi Dan! I got something for you!

Dan: ... Tuki?

Tuki: Hmm?

Dan: Can we go out to the sakura tree? I have something to tell you.

Tuki: Well, I don't see why not.

Dan: Great, come on.

Dan grabs Tuki's flipper before he drags her out of his home and they walked out to where the sakura tree is.

Ocean: Is it just me or Dan looked a bit... off?

Alolan Raichu: *Sigh* It's just that... there is something that Dan never told you about.

Ocean: Huh? What is it?

Torracat: Well...

When the pair finally arrived at the sakura tree, they sat down under it while looking at the ocean view. But the feeling was different because the sky is pretty cloudy despite being in the afternoon.

Tuki: Huh... The atmosphere feels damp when it's cloudy, right Dan?

Dan: Hey Tuki? Remember when we were doing the play and we were stopped from doing the kiss?

Tuki: *Blushes* Y-Yeah, I remember that.

Dan: Well... *Blushes* Wanna continue it?

Hearing the answer suddenly made Tuki jumped in shock while she is blushing madly.

Tuki: A-Are you for real?!

Dan: *Nods* If... you don't mind of course.

Tuki: (Oh boy this is pretty sudden! I mean... I never kiss anyone in my life! What should I do?)

Dan: Well?

Tuki: *Inhales* YES!! (Okay that was a bit too loud) I mean... Yes!

Dan: *Giggles* Alright, but how about we make it more memorable?

Tuki: Huh?

Dan reaches to Tuki's soft cream cheese cookie and holds one on his paw.

Dan: How about I put this cookie of yours in my mouth but just the end of it, then you can bite the other end, then we bite the cookie together until we are close to each other until—Well... You understand what I mean.

Tuki: *Nods* Yeah, I understand. Let's do it.

The two of them put the cookie's ends in each other's mouth before they stare into each other's eyes.

Dan: Ready?

Tuki: Yeah.

Then they start biting the cookie slowly, enjoying the taste for a while before their lips start to press against each other's. They slowly close their eyes before getting drowned into the kissing session, sharing the cookie crumbs while kissing.

After 2 minutes, the two of them slowly pulls away while panting a bit, looking into each other's eyes while blushing.

Dan: Well... that was...

Tuki: A... Amazing!! Your lips makes me a bit comfortable.

Dan: Hehe... I guess both of us really enjoy it huh?

Tuki: Yup! How about we do it again?

Dan: W-Well...

But something odd suddenly happened, Dan suddenly looked pretty weak and his eyes was almost closing before he suddenly fell on Tuki's arms.

Tuki: Huh?! D-Dan?!

Dan: I-It looks like... I can't hold it much longer...

Tuki: Wait what?! What are you talking about?!

Tuki quickly puts Dan against the sakura tree as she holds his paw that was holding her back weakly.

Tuki: Wh-What's gotten into you Dan?!

Dan: *Pants* I-I'm sorry... I didn't tell you about what I'm facing...

Tuki: Hey!! Get a hold of yourself!!

Dan: I'm... I'm thankful that you show me what friendship and true love really is...

Dan slowly closes his eyes while smiling weakly at Tuki who was scared of what is happening to him.

Dan: I... I love you...

After the confession, Dan's paw slowly fell off from Tuki's flipper and he wasn't breathing at all.

Tuki: D-Dan? Dan?! DAN!!?

She then starts shaking his body that was slowly starts to get cold; she then put her ear on his chest and felt his heart is beating slowly.

Tuki: Oh no no no no no NO NO NO!!! DAN!!!

She quickly puts him on her back before she stood up and starts running towards the forest.

Tuki: Don't worry Dan!! I'll get you back home!! Maybe your parents can help!!

While she run through the forest, she could see her three friends Rose, Zumi, and Fleur walking forward while they're grabbing some apples with them.

Rose: Are you sure your Uncle can make apple pie, Zumi?

Zumi: Yep! He's the best at it that's for sure!

Fleur: I just hope you are correct about that.

Tuki: HEY GUYS!!!

The three of them looked and saw Tuki running up to them but she fell on her knees in front of them while firmly holding Dan on her back.

Rose: Tuki?! What's wrong?

Fleur: Why is Dan on your back?

Tuki: Look! We got no time! You guys have to help me get him back to his home!

Zumi: Whoa okay! Hey Rose? Help me make a stretcher out of those branches and vines!

Rose: Roger!

Both Zumi and Rose quickly made a stretcher that will last enough to carry Dan back. They then put him on the stretcher before they walk up to the hill while holding the stretcher.

Zumi: Why is Dan looking a bit pale? Is he okay?

Tuki: I-I don't know, he suddenly collapse when we were under the sakura tree and his heart is beating slower.

Rose: Oh shoot! Then we better bring him back this instant!

Fleur: I agree, let's—

Suddenly there was a lightning starts to form in the cloudy sky which made them jumped a bit in shock.

Tuki: Oh no! It's going to storm!

Fleur: We have to find something to cover Dan from the rain!

Zumi: Ummm... Oh Tuki! Grab that banana tree leaf and cover Dan from the rain using it!

Tuki: A-Alright!

Tuki quickly grabs the banana tree leaf before she covers Dan just in time before the rain starts falling.

Rose: Come on guys! We're almost there!

The four of them keeps walking through the hard rain while trying to bring Dan back home.

Tuki: (Don't worry Dan! Your friends are here! We'll get you back home!!)
