Shocking Fire

Chapter 59

Spacia's POV

"Alright, so it's settled. This week you plan the place, time, and theme of the wedding, next week is invitations, the week after that is rings-that takes longer then it sounds-plus honeymoon, and the last week is attire." Mr. Van Thunder smacked his hand on the table in triumph. "You start tomorrow! For now, it's time to sleep." I checked my watch. 10:53 pm. "Whoa! Well we sure spent a lot of time talking!" Warp, Mrs. Storm, and Mr. Van Thunder laughed. I looked over at Mystie, who was falling asleep. "Spacia, how about you take her to her room. I'm heading to bed." Mr. Van Thunder got up and left with Mrs. Storm. Warp stood and walked over to the couch, twisting as he fell back on it. "Have fun!" He called, picking at his red t-shirt. I blushed and rose out of my chair. I picked Mystie up with one arm under her knees and the other supporting her shoulders. As i carried her, she snuggled up to me and sighed. Star, Charly, Aquoa, and Gallant all bounded up at my heels and followed me. When i reached the door, Star opened it with Psychic. I walked over to the bed and placed Mystie under the blankets. I turned to leave, but Mystie grabbed the back of my shirt. "Wait..." I turned back to face her. "I want a hug." She spread her arms out and guestured with her hands, eyes half-closed with sleep. I leaned down to hug her, and Gallant jumped down in front of me, smirking. I was letting go of Mystie when he released a strong Grasswhistle.

Charly's POV

I rolled my eyes at Gallant's immaturity, but helped anyway. Both Spacia and Mystique had been effected, and they were out like a light. The four of us set to work. Star was a natural, of course, and swiftly placed Spacia under the covers with Mystie's head resting on his chest. Aquoa and Gallant moved his arms around her, and i was in charge of moving their bodies closer to one another. This was cliche, yes, but perfect for the duo. "A match made by Arceus himself." Gallant said, smiling. We all looked for a soft spot to lie down. The twins found ones right next to one another, Star curled up by the foot of the bed, and i wrapped myself around her for her protection. We all drifted off to sleep silently.

Mystique's POV

I woke up slowly, and wasn't surprised to see Hyu there next to me. I had sensed that Aquoa and Gallant were up to something, and this was usually what they did. "Thank Arceus, you're awake." Hyu said, running his fingers through his hair. "They wouldn't let me leave." He guestured to the twins and the sisters. I giggled. "Embarassed, are we?" I leaned forward and kissed his nose. I felt the blush rush to his cheeks. I drew back and snuggled up to him, yawning. "I'm going back to sleep." "No you're not." Hyu stood up and swooped me out of bed. I surpressed a shriek and crossed my arms, sticking my tongue out at him. He returned it and set me back on the ground. We walked out to the kitchen, talking and tickling Star and Charly. "What were you to doing last night?" Warp stood in front of us and raised an eyebrow. Hyu blushed. "The twins pulled a sleeping prank. The sisters helped too." I said, eyeing the four troublemakers. "Mmm-hmm." Warp remarked, walking away. "Hey!" Hyu chased him down and started to argue. I rolled my eyes and walked into the kitchen, scratching Star's head. She was in my arms, half asleep.

~8 years later~

Nikola was asleep in my arms, holding a luxury ball in his small fingers. He was six years old, his birthday was today, and his Houndor Jen turned the same age two days earlier. It was nine o'clock at night, very late for Nikola, and he had finally fallen asleep. "Hyu, can you take him to bed please?" I handed the boy to his father, who nodded and carried him down the hall. I pet Star, who was a good eleven years old now, and she rubbed against my hand. "Nikki's very small, is that healthy?" She asked, looking up at me. She was still an Eevee, but that didn't mean she wasn't smarter than an Alakazam. "I know he is, i but it's natural. Don't worry, he's fine." I pet her again. "No offense, but do you think that if he came from a legendary he would be different? Don't get me wrong, i love him to bits, but i'm only curious." I tapped my chin in thought. "No offense taken. I know you're the smarty, and all you want to do is know everything. I'm don't know, to be honest. But i don't want to adopt a child. I'm not as close to Kyurem as i wish i was." I replied, standing up. "I'm sorry." Star jumped onto my shoulder and gave me an apologetic look. "No need." I walked into the master bedroom of the small house Hyu had purchased years ago. I changed into my sleep clothes, yawned, then slipped under the blankets of the bed. The sisters and the twins climbed into their small beds in the crook of the wall, and i bid them goodnight. I heard Hyu come into the room. He lied next to me. I turned around to face him and ruffled his hair. He rolled his eyes and started to tickle me, and i shrieked as quietly as i could as i tickled him in response. We went back and forth until we were a heap of laughter, quietly subsiding. After several moments of silence i looked up at Hyu, who was fast asleep. I snuggled up to him and fell asleep as well. In the morning, we were awakened by the crashing of pots and pans. "Nikola." Hyu and i synced, sighing while we got out of bed. I walked into the bathroom and changed, brushing my hair. I kept it at the same length and left it down nowadays, causing it to be in need of brushing regularly. I walked into the mainroom and turned to the kitchen. Hyu was picking up several pans while a smiling Nikola was scratching Jen's fur. Nikola was lean and tall for his age, though he appeared small, and had flat black hair with red eyes. He resembled Red the dexholder, and that always got me wondering. We didn't adopt Nikola, but yet he still looked like a character. Does that run in the legendaries' bloodline? I giggled and bent down to help Nikola up. "Alright Nikki. Be careful." He smiled at me, flashing the empty places where he was missing a tooth. He lost two in his last stunt, and he did whatever he could to show it off. "Alright Ma, i'll try." Jen bumped his leg and bounded into the living room. "Nik! Nik! Watch this!" He used Ember to light the fireplace, and Kyle calmy put it out. Thanks to Kyle, we still had our house intact. "Tyjore, can you keep an eye on those two? I'll take over breakfast." Dad had given Tyjore to me as a nanny for Nikola, and she was a lifesaver. She nodded and smiled, bustling after the young duo. I turned to the cutting board and started to chop the pecha berries. Hyu bumped next to me and slowly popped the knife from my hand to his, taking over the job. "Nope." He said, placing a kiss on my forehead. I stuck my tongue out and elbowed him in the ribs playfully. "Don't burn it." "This doesn't even deal with fire." A stray Ember wizzed our way and i froze it quickly. The ice melted and vaporized on contact, and the Ember attack went with it. I looked at Hyu with a smug look and walked into the living room. "Tyjore, i'm sorry, but can you make sure Hyu doesn't hurt himself?" I lowered my voice to a whisper. "He's not the best at cooking." I said, glancing at the kitchen. She chuckled. "It's fine dearie. I'll make sure he doesn't cut himself." She walked off. I sat on the couch and watched Nikola and Jen run in circles around the room. They were laughing and possibly playing tag, then they stopped and piled into a heap. They were laughing hysterically, and it was hard for me not to join. The laughing stopped when Nikola started to cough and his face turned red. I stood up and rushed to him quickly. "Hyu! Tyjore!" I called frantically, placing the boy on the couch. The two burst out of the kitchen and ran to me, their attention shifting to Nikki when they saw him. Tyjore sent to work immeadiately. She did procedures i had never seen before, trying to get Nikola to breathe. "I need Koari." She said bluntly, and i rushed to the large Holo Caster embedded in the wall of the room. Hyu was close behind me. I called Dad and stared at the screen, impatient for him to pick up. When he did, i didn't let him finish his hello. "Dad! We need Koari! It's Nikki!" He didn't hesitate, but instead sent Koari's pokeball over without a word. I grabbed the red and white sphere and ran to Tyjore, releasing Koari at the same time. He took one look at Nikki and unsheathed his sword of medicines. He grabbed a device and placed it in Nikki's mouth, pressing a button several times. "You try. Press the button." Nikki placed his shaking hands around the container and pressed the button every so often. He gave it back to Koari and layed there, taking deep breaths. "Jen..." He said, looking behind us to see his Houndor cowering in the back of the crowd. "I need Jen..." Nikki opened his arms and Hen jumped into them, whimpering and licking Nikki's face. "What was that?" Hyu asked, placing an arm around my shoulders. "Asthma. Its when you can't get enough air in your lungs." Tyjore said, sitting to face us. "I used an inhaler to help him. Here." Koari rummaged through his pouch that he carried on his sides and produced a silk bag. "That is enough to last you a few years, including spares." He looked into my eyes. "Just in case." "Nikki, you have to promise me something. Whenever you feel like that, you must use an inhaler." Tyjore was talking to Nikki while Koari filled us in on instruction. After, i looked at my husband. "Hyu, did you end the call?" "Yes." I nodded and turned to Koari. "Thank you Koari." I hugged him and rubbed his back. "Anytime." He said, nodding to me. I returned him and sent him back to Dad through the transporter, then picked Nikki up off the couch. Jen followed at my heels as i brought the tired boy to his room, setting him down on the bed. "Ma, i'm okay now." He hugged my neck, then sat back to look at me with his big ruby-red eyes. "I'm okay. Don't worry. Don't be scared. I'm okay."
