Popsicles Promise

Popsicles Promise

"Enough! Both of you need to stop this, or I am not going to be spending time with either of you," I said, but both only looked away, neither wanting to meet my gaze.

"Honestly, I must say that I am surprised that you two are being so immature at a time like this. We should all be trying to support each other and make sure that each of us has a chance to shine," I told them, and both nodded before turning back to one another, Ralts still resting between them on the endless couch.

"Look, let's just start over. Both of you are important to me, so why don't we start from the beginning and get to know each other better?" I suggested, and both nodded.

"What do you want to know first? I did come here with Landon after all, so I know more about him than most," Popsicle said, and Knighty nodded.

"That's true, but you have only known me a day or so more. We have spent some time together, but that is nothing to throw in someone's face," I explained, but Popsicle seemed to get frustrated, and then she closed her eyes and disappeared. "That is starting to get on my nerves. Knightly and Leilani, please try to get along while I go see what is wrong with Popsicle," I said, and the other two nodded as I closed my eyes and then opened them back in my Pawmi's habitat.

Lusamine vanishing wasn't that bad, but Popsicle was just running away from her problems. I didn't want to have to change the girls around, but at the same time, I shouldn't be forcing them to do things. This whole thing with each girl was a balancing act, and I had thought that things were going smoothly with Popsicle, but that clearly wasn't right.

During that time, I fired a few messages off to let everyone know that we were on our way. Everything had taken much longer than I had thought it would, but many things had happened. I was just glad that Lusamine and I were starting to get along better, and I had found out about my Pawmi's worries.

"Yes, let's go and not talk about it before, okay?" Lusamine said, and I offered her my hand.

"Yes, ma'am," I said with a smile as she took it.

When I opened my eyes again, the two of us were standing under the tree where I caught Knighty last night. My phone buzzed, and Jolene said that they were always in Mesagoza at the shoe shop near the south entrance to the city.

"Are you excited to go shopping?" I asked, and Lusamine shrugged.

"I think so? I have never really done that much shopping, so I am not even sure if I will like it. Do we really have money to be wasting on clothing?" Lusamine asked, and I nodded.

"It is not really wasting. This morning Cryo made some cards for Joy and you, but don't worry about spending. You all need clothing, and I want the girls to all have at least one or two sets," I explained, and Lusamine nodded.
