After falling off that damn balcony so many times, I was surprised that I wasn't dirty or anything since I caught myself in time. I stood up after a panic attack from Estelle and brushed myself off, when I looked her, my eyes got huge from shock. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
"Estelle....you're human." I said in total awe.
"But...OMG.....how? Tell me how damn it!? This can't be happening. Oh please god this can't happen now. My tail! My Ears!! MY SEXY KITTY WAYS!!!" She screamed running around in circles.
I quickly grabbed her and held her close. I could feel her heart beating at a million miles an hour.
"Estelle get a hold of yourself. We can figure this out...somehow?"
She quickly turned to me with tons of tears coming out of her eyes. "How Lux? HOW?"
"Well first off stop crying because you'll ruin your makeup." I chuckled.
"THAT'S NOT FUNNY!" She quickly punched me in the stomach though there wasn't anything behind it.
"Please stop.." I bent over. "I don't want someone as lovely as you cry my dear. Besides you look wonderful tonight and can't believe how mature you look and beautiful. " I put one of my fingers on her cheek and cleaned her tears away. She sniffled and I smiled. Why did this seem so natural?
My ears twitched and I heard something coming. I quickly grabbed Estelle into me.
"What's happening?" She cried looking up at me.
"Sssh. Something is coming and I the scent isn't familiar." I exclaimed.
"You can't see it?" She asked.
"No but I will in a moment." I smiled at her looking down. Than I used my x-ray vision to see my surrounding, than I saw it, Cresselia.
"Damn it! She is coming." I nervously muttered.
Estelle grabbed tighter onto my jacket and I held her closer as well. I could feel her shivering. "Who?" She asked.
"A powerful pokemon, Cresselia." I said looking the direction she was coming. Suddenly a woman with a moonshape crown on with a flowing pink and purple dress stood before us. She looked at us with soft eyes and examined Estelle from afar.
"Child please come here." She said reaching out her hand to Estelle.
Estelle did not move and gripped me tighter. I began to light sparks at Cresselia knowing full well I couldn't defeat someone of her caliber. I have heard stories of the rare pokemon gijinkas. However, staring at her I could see she meant us no harm. I let Estelle go and gently put both of my hands on her shoulders.
"Go to her. I promise she won't hurt you." I winked. I wanted to see her smile and trust me with those words. I too was nervous around someone who was of this stature. "If she does, I will fight for you."
Estelle looked up at me and looked Cresselia. She slowly walked over to her with one of her arms on her chest looking down at the ground. Cresselia didn't say a word but walked around the newly human Estelle and examined her. She finally came to the front of Estelle and put both of her lips on Estelle's forehead and closed her eyes. All I could do was stand there helplessly and watch but my crunch attack was being hidden just incase she tried anything funny to Estelle. She then walked away from Estelle and looked at me.
"You do realize son, you have met before right?" She said with a soft smile. She turned to Estelle next. "You as well have met him before in your past."
I didn't answer her because I don't ever remember meeting Estelle. I turned to Estelle who also had a funny look on her face.
"My sincerest apology, your past in none of my concern but it will come clear soon enough." She said looking at the stars. "However, this necklace you have on is the Moon Choker Necklace. It has the power to turn you into a human on the full moon. This only happens once and there is no way to change you back to the way you are. My power's are useless. When I felt the power of the necklace, I had to come as soon as possible my dear Estelle."
"So what you are saying is you can't help me at all?" Estelle asked grabbing Cresselia's dress. "I am begging you I want to return to my original form."
Cresselia only shook her head. "I am sorry child, but this power is out of my reach. However, I never said it was me that could change you back."
"What do you mean?" Cried Estelle pulling harder on her dress.
Cresselia looked up at pointed at me.
"Me?" I gulped. For some odd reason, my gut was getting really sick. What in the world could I do?
"To turn you back, you must have a true friendship with someone. Also they must believe in the same thing as well. This I clearly can see between you. Also you have the final ingredient to change you back." Cresselia explained. "And that is true love."
My heart just sank right there.
"WHAT?!?" We both yelled.
"Yes, it is obvious. You both care for the other very much. Regardless of how your relationship is, you both love each other in some sort of way. Thus the way to turn you back is by a simple kiss on the lips shared between you too." She chuckled pointing to her lips.
"But I can't do that." Estelle said. "He loves Hoom and I love Reo. Yes we are friends and probably like each other that way but nothing more."
I looked at Estelle who was trying to argue with the maiden, but her words weren't intirely true. I do love Hoom more than anything, even more than myself, but I was in love with Estelle as well for other reasons. I was attracted to both but also knew it was forbidden to have both. I wanted to see her happy again as an Espeon, yet kissing her, if Hoom found out would break her heart. I would die if that happened. But sometimes a Luxray has to do what a Luxray has to do.
"There has to be another way." Screamed Estelle who began to run at Cresselia. I grabbed her hand and stopped her with a cold look. "Let go Lux. What are you doing?"
"Estelle just shut up!" I said sternly holding her arm tightly.
"It's your decision what you both plan to do. I will promise this, I will cover you in a vail to keep anyone from seeing you both for the next minute. What ever happens next will be on you too. I wish you good luck my children." She said as she disappeared into the darkness.
"No come back! OUCH!" Yelled Estelle. She quickly turned to me and slapped my face. "Let go you jerk!"
At that moment, she saw the mark on my face along with the scar she gave me from our battle when I lost control of myself. I let her go and stood in front of her looking down at her.
"I....I'm sorry I didn't mean it." She cried both of her hands on her face.
I could only smile because I was going to do something I wanted to do for so long.
"I'm not mad Estelle. Please look at me." I smiled.
She looked up and I walked up and embraced her.
"How could I ever stay mad at that face? I just can't, however, I do miss the dumb look you give me as an Espeon Estelle." I chuckled cocking my head to the side with a smile. "So for you I will help you return to your former self."
I began to lean closer into her as her nose met. She turned red.
"But what about Hoom?" She said with a worried tone.
"I won't deny it Estelle. I love Hoom very much and would do anything for her. Even give my life." I said slowly. I felt her grip on my shoulders get tight and I leaned in and whispered into her ears. "But I also can't deny that I love you....Estelle."
I took two of my fingers and gently pulled her chin near mine and I put my lips against hers and kissed her. I embraced her even tighter than before. I couldn't resist kissing her and I could feel her. Her gripped tightened as well and she kissed me. It felt so right and warm. After a moment, I pulled myself away from her and a glowing mist surrounded her. Her human ears disappeared and were replaced by her Espeon ears. Her tail grew back as well and the charm on her forehead reappeared.
"I am back to normal." She said looking at herself up and down.
Suddenly a white mist around us broke and disappeared.
So Cresselia was right, I was the key to her returning to her true form. Yet what bothered me was how did our pasts have anything to do with it? I looked at Estelle who was jumping up and down from excitement for being her old self again. It was like nothing had happen. Yet I felt so guilty inside. How can someone love two women the same? My date was Hoom and Reo was Estelle's date. Should it matter? I mean we are all friends right?
"Lux?"
I quickly snapped out of my day dreaming and looked at Estelle. She was looking down at the ground with both hands behind her back.
"Yes?" I sighed with a relief.
She quickly jumped up and I caught her in my arms holding her up. She whispered into my ear as well. "Thank you so much Lux. I.....I really love you too."
My eyes grew big looking into her shimmering eyes as I held her up. This was the first time other than my family that someone told me that they loved me. I couldn't help but smile at her and twirl her around.
"Well for right now lets just enjoy the rest of the night with our dates shall we?" I said putting her down on her feet. "I mean the love we have is umm sorta like a love of too really good close friends."
Okay that was a lie but who am I kidding. I knew she felt a little ackward too and I didn't want to ruin what we had.
"YEAH! I totally agree with you." She chuckled. "You are like my best friend too so yes it makes sense. That is the perfect kind of love."
We both stood there and laughed for a moment but that was soon followed by a silence. Oh hell, why not. I bowed down in front of Estelle and extended a hand to her.
"Lets go back." I said as she reached for my hand and I jumped back up to the balcony with me. I put my arm out to her once again. "May I have this dance Estelle?"
She blushed and I smiled at her. She quickly grabbed my arm and we walked in. "Yes." She said leaning into my arm.
-END-
O_O I hope that works and yes that is a bit dramatic. God I still feel kind guilty about it regardless. ;A; But man this teaches Naomi not to write something so damn unexpected!!! GAH!!! Didn't see that coming so HA I totally did the same thing muhahahaha!!! But I still love Hoom and Estelle!!! 8D
