"I have no idea.." Cairo responded to Alison as he watched her intently. The trainers streched and walked around in different directions, no great distance, simply a few yards. Instead of traversing this rich territory, in many ways the opposite of Orre, Alison stood dormant, arms crossed, facing away from Cairo. He looked to her, apologetic, as he assumed he understood why she was upset.
He approached her slowly from behind and placed a hand on one of her shoulders. "Alison" he said before she shook off his hand. "Look, Alison I" he began before Alison cut him off immediately, "Cairo, look" she began as she turned around and Cairo noted the glassy appearance of her eyes, "Alison.." He started again, still being cut off, "No, Cairo I have to know something" she said, breathing relatively heavily, "I need to know how you feel about me, and how you feel about Dani" Cairo looked at her in disbelief, he hadn't relaized for a moment just how much Dani's affectionate romanticisms would affect her. She began again, "because if you care about me, then I need to know now, but if you care about Dani I really want to know that too, and if you care about both of us then I don't know becau-" She had been going on without Cairo being able to muster a retort, thus, mid sentence he made a bold decision. Cairo grabbed Alison by the shoulders and began to kiss her affectionately.
A moment passed and they relinquished one another. They both blushed intensly and stared into one another's eyes, baring more emotion in them than fathomable. "I'm sorry Alison, to every degree of the word. I'm, so immensly...unequivocally, sorry"

Eyes shining, she hugged him, head against his chest, "Apology accepted." She said then hugged him tighter. "We need to find shelter and food soon, its looked like a storm is coming." She said looking at the darkening sky. "Well, there's alot of trees, we could build a 'hut' for now." Alison said still hugging him.

He embraced her as he looked into her eyes, smiling. "Yeah, you're right" he said as Chad and Lily appraoched the two trainers locked in an embrace. They blushed as they released one another, "Ha" Chad laughed, "I don't know how YOU do it, Cairo" he added, smiling. "Did I hear you say something about building shelter?" Lily inquired, "Yeah, it definetely looks like a storm is approaching, and it looks like its a ways into town from here. I think, tonight, it would be in our interest just to build a makeshift shelter right here" Alison informed them all, but specifically directed at Lily as she had posed the query. "Definetely" Chad said. "I wish I could contact my father..." Cairo said before Chad began rummaging through his pack, and revealed a small, black object. "Here" Chad presented Cairo with a small phone, "Wha, you have a cell phone?" Cairo asked rhetorically, met with a prompt head nod. "Thanks" Cairo said before calling his father to inform him of Dani's leave, Oliver's death, and his and his friends' current location.

"Blaze, help out!" Lily said letting her Pok?mon out of his pokeball. "Vulpix, Cubone and Pichu, help out too!" Alison said as she let the three out. Soon all four had built a small make-shift hut to sleep in that night. Lily changed into pjs behind a few trees and then returned to the hut and Alison did the same. Lily sat reading in the corner as the rain started to fall, all her Pok?mon in their Pok?Balls. All of Alison's returned too, save Cubone who was in her lap as Alison watched the rain fall. "The rain can be pretty at times." She said as she watched it fall more and more.

Cairo, post he and Marowak helping to build the hut, had changed as well and sat comfortably beside Alison and Chad within a small, but comforting shelter. "Definetely" Cairo responded to Alison statement, "when I was younger, before my parents got divorced, I always sort of looked to the rain as something that I really couldn't understand. It was this water, and I always associated water with cleansing, so I kind of saw it as cleansing a dark...less than amiable day...I always figured maybe if rain could do that...my parents stormy relationship could be cleansed too...but ehh, ha, that was a long time ago" he had been rambling but meant it, "so I sort of grew to really like the rain..thats how I caught you buddy, huh?" Cairo looked to Marowak with a smile. "What do you mean?" Chad inquired as the rain grew heavier. A flash of lightning crashed out on the ocean in a spectacular array of waves and sparks. He smiled more and began, "Well it was a cold, rainy, march day. My parents had just had this huge fight and...I had no friends to turn to, I guess Dani was away or something. So I ran out of the house..." He paused for a moment, smiling still to his small Pok?mon. "Well, I got completely soaked, but couldn't go home..so I ran ahead onto some route and I found this hollowed out tree...I went in, freaked out when I saw a small, crying Pok?mon" Marowak closed its eyes and began issuing signs of laughter in Cairo's arms. "Ha, so I picked it up and...it went from there..I brought it home, parents didn't think I could take care of it, i was only eight at the time..Two years later, and he was the reason I never took a starter Pok?mon". Marowak hugged its trainer slightly as Cairo took one hand and shook its head affectionately. The other hand lay dormant between himself and Alison, to whom he looked, unable to rid himself of this smile, even as thunder sounded and rain poured down.

Alison took his hand and held it tightly. She scooted closer to him, Cubone still in lap. She leaned her head on his shoulder as more lightning struck. "I hate to intrupt this 'wonderful' moment, but when the storm blows over, I'm leaving." Lily said as she looked up from her book. "Why?" Alison asked. "I need to get over to Johto to help my father in a fossil dig." She said and then started to read again.

"Ha, hardly wonderful.." Cairo said as he hung his head some. "You're leaving.." Chad recited as he looked down. "Hey" Cairo looked over to Chad, "Don;t froget about Sarah, you ever talk to her anymore?" he asked. Surprisingly enough, a moment passed and Cairo heard slight snoring coming from Chad, who had fallen asleep. "Wow" Alison said as she laughed, "Ha, he's very interesting" Cairo added. Lily closed her book and turned away from Cairo and Alison as no more ambiant light loomed, providing no viable allowance for reading. "Well, guess there's nothing left to but go to sleep then" He said as he smiled towards the girl, whose head lay on his shoulder and whose hand lay in his as he caressed it lightly with his thumb. He kissed the top of her head, "Well, goodnight then, Miss Matthews" He said, preparing himself for sleep.

"Good night Cairo." She said as she picked up Cubone and moved over to her spot to sleep which was on the inside spot near Cairo. Lily had already fallen asleep. Alison layed down on top of a thin blanket, a small pillow under her head. Cubone curled up next to her and then fell asleep. She let out a sleepy sigh as her eyes became heavy. She fell asleep watching Cairo lay down and the rain fall heavily to the ground.

Cairo lay head propped slightly as Marowak walked over to the entrance to their makeshift hut, as it watched the rain pour. It was a while before Cairo actually fell asleep, instead he stayed awake for a while, at least a few hours, simply watching Alison, and occasionally Marowak. Eventually, however, his eyes grew heavy and Marowak came to his side and fell asleep. On the brink of slumber, Cairo looked once more to Alison and whispered, mostly to himself, "..love you..." He was carried away to a world of calm dreams, wher, all the issues of this world of fantasy could be relieved for one solitary moment.
"Agh" Cairo said as he was coaxed into a wake by a burning, but comforting all the same, ray of sun. Wingull cried as they flew over the shack, and Cairo sat up immediately, hair messed, looking fairly silly. He peered to the side of the hut where Lily once lay, now only an empty part of their structure remained.

Soon after Cairo awoke, Alison got up too. "Morning." She said looking around. Her pjs were a mess and her hair was too. Cubone was still asleep, which Alison returned him for now. "It seems the storm has stopped and Lily gone." She said looking, too, at the spot Lily had once been. "I should probably get changed." She said as she grabbed her brush from her bag and started to brush her hair.

"Ha, alright then" Cairo said, thinking the same thing to himself. The two got both ascended, accidentally knocking heads. "Ah" they said synonomously as they fell to the ground and began laughing as they looked to one another. "Hello?" A voice startled Cairo as a man peered through the entrance to the hut. "Oh goodness, I see your friends are still asleep, my apologies" the brunette man told a confused Cairo and Alison. He yawned and ascended to his feet, careful not to wake Chad or Marowak.
"Oh, well, its nothing really, I was just looking to, ha, comment on your structure here" the man told the tow trainers, "name's Rolan by the way." Cairo rubbed the back of his head and yawned once more, "ah, sorry, nice to meet you Rolan, my name's Cairo" "Alison" she added. "Nice to meet you guys, too" Rolan told Cairo, "See, I'm the frontier brain here on one island" he added, "Frontier brain?" Cairo inquired, "yes, its sort of like a gym leader"

"Interesting..." Alison said as she finished brushing her hair. "If you two don't mind..." She said motioning for them to turn around so she could get dressed. The two, Cairo and Rolan, did as she asked and soon Alison was dressed in a pair of jeans and a white, quarter-sleeve shirt. She then pulled on a pair of brown slip-on shoes. "You can turn back around." She said as she stood and put her stuff away.

Cairo blushed as he turned around. After a moment Rolan told the two of them, "well, I know it sounds creepy but, please feel free to drop by the battle factory..thats sort of like my gym, I'd love to help you guys get situated on One Island, you know, so you don't need to spend another night out here." With that, the man took off in the distance and Cairo turned back to Alison, "Well, that was interesting." Cairo walked to the corner where he too changed, not requesting that Alison turn around, however, as he had shorts on beneath his pajama's. She, did however, turn instinctively. Cairo was changed and turned to Alison, he walked to her and placed a hand on her shoulder, startling her slightly, but signifying that she could turn around. "Oh ha, sorry, didn't mean to scare you there" Cairo said, laughing slightly, "ha, its fine" Alison responded, "So, should we wait for Chad to wake up or.." Cairo asked.

Just as Cairo went to finish his sentance, a yawn was heard from over where Chad had slept. Chad was just getting up. "You missed the wierdest conversation." Alison said smiling as she hugged Cairo. "We're going to wait for you to get ready and then make our way to the battle factory." She said leaning her head on his chest. While Chad got ready, Alison took out her locket again and flipped the key between her fingers...

Cairo and Alison exited the structure, his hand around her waist. "What is that thing?" Cairo asked, referring to the key she was spinning in and out of her fingers.
((OOC: Sorry, ha, that was short, just didn't really know what else to say before a response))
