________________________________________
Sitting from the highest of tree branches, Ava scanned the horizon, not looking for anything in peticular. Just something to catch her attention and take her away from her world for a moment or two. The tree outside her window had become her favorite spot, ever since she was a swablu. Nothing caught her eye. It was just another regular day, the sky was blue, the grass green. Ava pouted and swung her legs back in forth to a melody in her head. She couldn't possibly sing out loud for the fear that her mother god forbid might hear her. Ava turned around, her room behind her, its dull gray walls made her shudder. In the distance she could hear her parent's leaving for the day, they must have had some business to attend to of some sort. Not that Ava would know, the more out of the loop she is with her family, the better. Jumping back into her room, Ava spun around and laughed with joy.
"Gone gone they're Gooooone~," She said aloud. Ava ran out of her room and out the door of her house. She ran as fast as she could deep into the forest, her favorite place to explore. She loved to sit quietly and hear nature's songs come to life. She of course would jump in too, and sing her heart out. It was the only time she got to do so, unless she was with her friends. Wandering the forest floor Ava searched for the perfect place to sit and listen. No where seemed good enough. Deeper and deeper into the woods Ava ventured. The happy glow of the forest she was used to began to fade. The trees now looked weeping and dark, black, dead. There was only one word to describe this moment: Lost. Ava was completely and udderly lost. This had never happened before! She must have made a wrong turn somewhere...Thoughts of terrible "What -ifs" Filled Ava's head, the feeling of fear swept over her body. Branches seemed to lash out at her, as if they knew she were an intruder. Scared out of her wit Ava plopped infront of a hallow tree stump, using it to lean against. She closed her eyes and did the only thing that would only be the right thing to do: She began to sing quietly, something just something, anything to comfort her.
Bushes in front of her began to rustle, out of them jumped an Ariados, ready to kill. Ava was frozen still. Why did it have to be a BUG?! she thought to herself. Ava was lost for ideas, she shut her eyes once more and remained paralyzed as the Ariados scurried closer to her. She could soon feel its saliva dripping on her boots. The worst of her "What-ifs" came to mind. What if........
What if.... *SLASH*
..I die.
Eyes open. It was gone. Well..not technically...the corpse of the spider pokemon lay a good 40 feet from where Ava stood. Fear in Ava's heart turned to confusion. What the heck just Happened? Ava shrugged. Then the realization hit her. "I-I'm Alive." She whispered.
"I'm Alllllllllllllllllllllliveeeee~!" She sang and twirled her hands in the air. Another hand grabbed hers and she came to a complete stop.
"What on Ear-" She turned halfway to see who held her hand captive. Infront of her was the most handsome Gijinka she had ever seen. A Swellow. He was a Swellow. His hair was shaggy and dark blue with a red streak. His Eye's sharp, eager to protect, yet gleamed with generousity. He smiled playfully at her.
"Are You Alright?" He asked. Ava's eyes widened. She kept glancing at their touching hands and his wondeful eyes. The Infamous "Love at first sight" myth became ever so true.
"I..Uh um Well Uh..." She prated. HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP was the only thing registering in her mind at the moment. He smiled again. Her heart skipped a beat.
"I Sure hope you are, I was training out here when I heard a captivating melody, youres I pressume, and I guess I got here right in the nick of time! My name's Sage by the way, It's ever so nice to meet you!
Ava was speechless for the first time in her life. (She was know in Fortree for being ever so talkative.) No words would come out. She just continued staring at their hands.
Sage tilted his head, "You have a name don't you? I mean if you don't that's alright..Who am I to say everybody has names? Say, What are you doing out here anyway? This isn't quite the best place for a private concert don't you think?"
"It's Ava!" Words finally came out of her mouth. "I'm Ava, Ava..Right! Thanks so much for saving me~! I..I dont know What happened I just went blank..You know I get that ways when I see a bug I just absolutely hate them!" Oh god now she was rambling.."I was just looking for a place to sit and relax and I..well..I got Lost."
"Lost?" He questioned.
"Yupper doodle doo!" She squealed. OH WHAT THE HELL! AVA STOP TALKING!! her thoughts commanded.
"Well if you'd like I could take you home, I know this forest like the back of my hand! I'll have you home in no time!" He flashed a reassuring smile. Ava nodded and the two made they're way back to familiar ground. Sage never at any point let go of her hand. He also never stopped talking to her, they both never at any time stopped talking on their way back.
Ava's home was soon in sight. The dreaded moment had come, the goodbye. "I'd love to see you again.." She mumbled while staring at her boots. Sage patted her head and grinned.
"Ditto," He admitted. "Maybe next time you could sing for me?" He smirked.
"Well just have to see!" Ava shot a smirk right back at him.
Sage laughed at Ava's playful smirk and twirled his fingers around one of the ribbons in her blonde hair. He leaned in close to her ear and whispered his goodbye. Ava returned to her room after the longest yet happiest of days and looked at her gray room, and for some reason it looked a little brighter.
