[it's been a rather eventful weekend, to say the least-- although in Sora's case, it was more eventless, because with the exception of one small time frame, he spent the entire weekend completely alone. dark houses, complete silence, no people, no pokémon, no functioning pokégear... nobody.]

[needless to say, now that Sora's caught up on his sleep, he's a little more than eager to see his friends, whether they're with him in Violet City, or spread out across the network. he turns the feed on, smiling and waving at the screen enthusiastically.]

Hey, guys! I was wondering, does anybody know if they have any festivals in Johto? If not, we should make one up! Or at least have a Johto-wide party or something, especially after this weekend.

[he runs his hand through his hair.]

Hey, Roxas? If you see this, I wanna talk to you.

I meant your other ones.

Isn't bringing a kid along gonna slow you down?

[that pings him like no other; Riku said the exact same thing to him back home-- new friends? the Keyblade? Sora's not sure what else he could do to prove to his friends that they all mean everything to him.]

Pearl? Is something the matter?

[mysticpearly.livejournal.com]

No. I just don't want you to leave us, that's all.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

... You don't have to worry about that. Know why?

[mysticpearly.livejournal.com]

Why?

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Because our hearts are connected. No matter how far apart we might wind up one day, as long as we think about our friends, we'll never be apart.

[mysticpearly.livejournal.com]

[!]

[For a moment, she's actually totally sold. Then wait, that means they wouldn't be together-together, even if they remember each other...]

...That's not the same.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Well, no, but... Hearts are something that go on forever, even if we don't. It's sad when friends have to leave, but you'll always see them again someday.

So it's never goodbye. It's just see you real soon.

[mysticpearly.livejournal.com]

How soon?

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Very soon.

But you don't need to worry about that now, Pearl. Nobody's going anywhere for a while.

[mysticpearly.livejournal.com]

[Nodnod.] Okay, I'll try.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Good. How about that party, then? You want to have one?

[mysticpearly.livejournal.com]

Yes!

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Great! We'll get a birthday cake as tall as you are.

[mysticpearly.livejournal.com]

You can eat that much cake!? [She is now thoroughly in awe.]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Not by myself, but I bet all of our friends together could!

[mysticpearly.livejournal.com]

...

...

We need another cake just for Puddles.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

... ... You're probably right. Heck, he could probably eat a birthday cake as tall as he is.

[mysticpearly.livejournal.com]

That might be expensive.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

I'll just have to start saving up for Puddles' birthday, sounds like!

[mysticpearly.livejournal.com]

I can help!

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks, Pearl! I know Puddles will appreciate it.

[mysticpearly.livejournal.com]

I hope he does.
