Well...uh...today at Lake Verity was...interesting...
It looked rainy all day, and I didn't really want to go, but Mars and Archie dragged me there anyway, as usual...We kinda sightsaw for a little bit, because that's what tourists do or whatever, but it still looked really, really rainy...
Then Mars damn her said she was going to go look for Mesprit in the cave in the middle of the lake, and when we offered to come with her, she said no damn her because having tons of people would scare off Mesprit damn her. And therefore Archie and I stayed outside while she went into the cave, so of course I'm left with the idiot Wailord and a ton of water and a sky that looked like it was going to open at any second.
We just kinda stood there talking - I'm surprised I didn't end up pushed into the lake for something, Mew knows what - until it started drizzling. And then it starting raining. And then it started pouring. So we're getting rained on, which is the most lovely thing in the world, let me tell you, and we both dashed under a tree, which helped a little but not much because it was still wet and absolutely freezing. I must have been shivering or something because Archie, that idiot, was all like, "YOU LOOK COLD~!" and then basically tackled me (he called it a hug; I call it assault -_-). So of course I'm protesting and yelling at him to get off me before I punch him in the face or something along those lines when we hear thunder.
I'm not sure how obvious I made it, but I'm kinda nervous about thunderstorms.
We didn't see lightning or anything, but the thunder was loud enough that I kinda froze a bit, and Archie apparently got the idea in his thick skull that that meant I approved of his "hug". Which I most certainly did not. He let go of me for all of five seconds, and before I could even think freedom he'd wrapped his jacket around my shoulders and then tackled me again. I would have protested, but his jacket was pretty damn warm, so I just kinda dealt with it. Then it got a little bit colder, and the thunder got a little louder, and the rain came down a HELL OF A LOT harder, and I decided being the absolute MORON that I am sometimes that I would probably be a bit more comfortable if I moved a bit closer to Archie, because then I'd be warmer or whatever. So I did. Yeah, it was an idiot move, but I was super sneaky about it and I'm pretty sure he didn't notice so... It was all fine and dandy until the next thunder crash, which was really loud, and I cringed and it was apparently very noticeable.
So what does the idiot do then? He starts stroking my hair. What the hell? I REFUSE to admit that it made me feel any better, because it most certainly did NOT. What do I do in response? Absolutely nothing. That's how content SHOCKED I was at his absolute idiocy. Granted, the Wailord has done some idiotic things before, but nothing topped this. At least, not until what happened next.
We had been sitting in silence because what the hell are you supposed to say when your rival starts frickin petting you?! for a few minutes, and Archie took a breath as if he was about to say something. And so I looked up at him, because that's the polite thing you do when someone is talking to you, you look at them! And I don't know what he had meant to say, but what he said was definitely NOT what he had meant to say, because all of the sudden, he just blurted out, "I really like you! ...N-No, I...I think I love you!"
(ahem) WHAT?! (<-- my internal reaction)
...so yeah, I had no idea how to react. But apparently, I should have reacted, because, since I didn't, Archie started blabbering incoherently like an absolute moron and confusing me even more than he already had, and he just kept going on and on and on, and I tried to stop him a few times but I don't think he heard me because he was too busy being an idiot, so finally I basically screamed at him to SHUT UP.
And then...I don't even know what happened...but I...well...sh*t I can't even type it...I...I KISSED HIM, OKAY?! >//////< THERE. It...It wasn't all that long...It just kinda...happened...and then it was done, and he was staring at me and I didn't really know what to do, so I just kinda mumbled that I loved him, too. Because I...I think I really do >//<
And then he hugged me. Just like that. He just hugged me like it was completely alright that I had just made an absolute fool of myself in front of him. And that was it. I...can't believe I'm saying this, but I almost broke down in his arms. You'd think it lasted forever, that stupid hug...But finally he pulled away a bit, and neither of us had noticed before that, but it had stopped raining...And then he just started beaming at me. Like an idiot. An absolute idiot. But you know what? I guess he's my idiot.
You know, I kinda like the sound of that...
We just kinda sat there for a little bit afterwards. We didn't do all that much talking, but that's okay because I don't think we needed to. Oh but there was one conversation that I guess was semi-important... It kinda went like this:
"We should carve our initials into the tree!"
"No."
"Aww, but Maxie, it'd be cute!"
"No."
"You know you want to..."
"No."
"Well I'm starting to carve mine, so you need to carve yours next!"
"No."
"Here, I'm done. Your turn."
"...fine."
Eventually Mars came out of the cave damn her and saw us and just kinda gave me this look and said, "I knew it." And of course my reaction was, "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU." And then the stupid Wailord started laughing at me -_-
Well, things returned to normal after that...ish...Archie held my hand the entire way back to Sandgem Town, which was kinda sweet in an absolutely idiotic kind of way...I guess...this means we're together now? Does it? Oh Mew, how are the admins going to react?! ...well, whatever. It's been an interesting day, but I can't say I wasn't happy with it...
Archie has fallen asleep on my shoulder, the idiot...I guess I'll be stuck here for a while...Maybe I'll try to sleep, too...It was quite a day...
... <3 I feel so happy!!
>Archie<
.......
*sigh*
You know when you muster up as much courage as you possibly could to do something outrageous that no one would expect you to do? But then once you get all that confidence and plan to do something with it...it just dies? Well that happened to me a few nights ago TTATT
Maxie and I had arrived at Floarama Town a few nights ago and we had a lot of fun. We even went to the Floarama Meadow, which was quite relaxing and beautiful.and quite romantic if you were with that someone special
Well after we had gotten everything settled at the Pokemon Center, Maxie had decided to go out somewhere. So I thought it was the perfect chance to do something romantic nice. After gathering up all this confidence, I had prepared a simple picnic and a bouquet of Azalea flowers for him. Thinking it was the perfect spot for such an event, I decided to set everything up in the Floarama Meadow. As I was nearing the spot, I saw Maxie. I quickly dove into the nearest bush and hide from him. I don't know what it was but as soon as I saw him, all my courage just...withered away >//< so instead I just went back to the Pokemon Center and sulked...and of course Maxie walks in...I hope he didn't notice...
Maybe I wasn't cut out for all this romantic stuff...*sigh* sorry for being such a coward..... >/////<

I hate it more than anything. It's so...sandy...and boring...and the ocean's right there...
But why am I bringing up my hatred of the beach? Well, there's a small beach right outside Sandgem Town, and of course, Archie and Mars made me go...But I REFUSED to dress for the beach. I sat there on a dinky lounge chair in my jeans and sweatshirt and read. Archie got annoyed with me, sure, but I think it was worth it. And it wasn't too hot, so I was fine temperature-wise.
Archie threatened to throw me into the ocean if I didn't actively participate in the beach. So I took a nearby Frisbee and threw it at his head. Positive interactions. Gotta love 'em.
Somehow, I managed to survive without getting tossed into the ocean or anything like that. We ate dinner at a cute little restaurant. I was absolutely famished...and Archie started making fun of me for eating so much -_- I told him that I'd stop eating and faint on him if he wanted, and he immediately got all defensive and said that wasn't what he meant. It was kinda cute, seeing him all flustered like that...It's things like that that make me think he might actually care about me. I dunno.
Going to Lake Verity tomorrow. Mars is incredibly excited. I hope she gets to see Mesprit again; I think it would make her really happy. Can't say I'm looking forward to much past that...it's just another lake, with more water. Hooray.
~Maxie~
All we did today was have a picnic on Route 202. We let all our Pokemon out to play with each other, which was rather interesting...Archie's poor Surskit almost got crushed! Fortunately, Osbourne was a smart Camerupt and scooped the little thing up onto his back so he wouldn't die...I thought it was cute, but Archie seemed convinced that Osbourne was going to eat his Surskit...what an idiot...
After eating we all kinda lounged around for a little bit...Archie fell asleep...leaning against me... -_- Stupid Wailord...I couldn't really move, and Mars refused to help me because she thought we looked "cute"...I was ready to kill her...I don't even know how I freed myself, but somehow I did, and then decided to take a nap myself...AND THEN WOKE UP WITH ARCHIE LEANING ON ME! WTF IS THIS?!
I think Mars must have moved one of us...I'm going to murder her... Let's see how she likes it when I begin to mess with her and Saturn...
Well, we went back to Jubilife for dinner. We'll be visiting Sandgem tomorrow, and Lake Verity after that, and then we'll be heading towards Snowpoint. An actual plan? Astounding!!!

Perhaps more so half-dead. We were on boats a whole hell of a lot today...much more than I would have ever liked...Archie bribed me onto the first one with promises of a mountain...well, it was hell on the way to that Mewdamn mountain, that's for sure. I stayed below deck the whole time...Scary...
Iron Island was fairly impressive, but not at all as impressive as Mt. Coronet. We went inside the mountain for a little while, but there honestly wasn't anything all that interesting. The place had been turned into a training ground for trainers trying to take on the Canalave Gym...so we spent much more time battling (or, in my case, telling people to go fall in a pit and leave me be) than actually enjoying the mountain. Archie suggested we go back a little later, when less people would be training, but I told him no. No more boat rides than necessary.
Our next stop was New Moon Island. I stayed below deck for that whole trip too. New Moon was kinda scary...It was really dark, even though it was the afternoon when we got there...Archie seemed to think it was the coolest place ever, but I was creeped out...Maybe it's because of what Cyrus told me about Darkrai yesterday? I kept expecting the legendary Pokemon to just pop out of nowhere and put me in a nightmare coma... Mars told me I was being silly, but I'm not so sure...there were some really suspicious shadows I saw, and quite a few times when I heard rustling bushes... I think I spent more time hiding behind Archie than I did actually paying attention to my surroundings... I was glad to get off that island.
Full Moon Island was our last stop - stayed below for that one as well. Full Moon was completely the opposite of New Moon, though I guess that makes sense. We got there around twilight, and the island looked absolutely beautiful in the lighting. It was like something out of some classic romance novel...er, not that I read those <.< >.> But yeah, I don't think I've ever seen anything so amazing...I, uh...accidentally brushed my hand against Archie's at one point and completely regretted it as soon as I did...He just laughed at me, though -_-
On the way back to Canalave, Archie forced me to stay up on deck with him and Mars. Needless to say, I almost had a heart attack. I think I may have cut off all circulation to Archie's arm...I told him I was not going to take another boat again for the rest of the trip. He told me good luck getting home -_- Sometimes I want to smack that man...
We had a very nice dinner tonight - not sushi, thank Mew. Afterwards we just hung out at the Pokemon Center and talked and stuff. Mars went up to bed an hour ago complaining about a headache, so Archie and I have been talking...I keep half falling asleep though, and Archie keeps yelling at me to get off the computer and go to bed...But I had to type this!
Now he's telling me that he's going to pick me up and carry me to my room if I don't get off the computer right this instant...I don't exactly trust him not to, perhaps I should go...
