To say that Summer Atreides was not feeling herself was probably the understatement of the year. Ever since her argument with Gunner Graves after their encounter with the wild SKELEDIRGE, their communication with each other had lessened to hardly even messaging each other.[break][break]

Of course they'd check in on one another. But part of her was just wondering if he was doing so because of their circumstances. Perhaps their time together was over now. He claimed it was because he was busy with work...[break][break]

Was it really the case? Gunner had always made time for her before.[break][break]

Summer sighed, running her fingers through her hair before she looked down at her phone. She decided that she needed to get out, to stop thinking about what was going on and work, and to let loose. So she had texted Callan Young.[break][break]

Because he was always there to comfort her in her times of need before. Maybe she could get some advice from him while catching up.[break][break]

She sat at the beachside, her bare feet kicking the sand as she scrolled through her messages. No new notifications, or at least ones she cared about. Summer held back a heaving sigh, until she looked up and spotted the familiar swath of light hair heading her way.[break][break]

"It took you long enough to show up," she teased him, standing up as she offered a teasing smile. "It's good to see you, Callan."

Summer sighed, almost hanging her head as he seemed to give in. She didn’t know if he truly understood or not. How could he, when she never told him the truth? God, she had to tell him the truth…[break][break]

She was just ruining everything.[break][break]

”I’m sorry,” she echoed softly, looking at the ground as she wiped her face to make sure the tears wouldn’t come out. She wouldn’t cry. She didn’t need to cry.[break][break]

”Okay.”

There was a pause, but Summer didn't comment on it. Though it made her mind tick. Was there someone else? Doubt began to cloud her mind, a feeling of dread that only soured her mood further.[break][break]

Arceus, what the hell was going on...[break][break]

The thought made her stomach churn, and it wasn't from the hormones. Summer wanted to puke at the thought that maybe, just maybe, there was someone out there more important than her or his brother.[break][break]

"What about me? What about my feelings, Gunner?" Summer asked, almost pleading as she felt her throat growing tighter. The familiar feeling of tears threatening to well in her eyes burned.[break][break]

"I don't want you to get hurt. You're the one I care about most in the entire world, besides my stupid, moronic brother! I don't have anyone else left but you!" Her hands trembled in front of her as she waved them about.

It seemed so contraindicated, his words to her. No, he didn’t think she was weak, but he didn’t want her to get hurt? Summer huffed, crossing her arms over her chest.[break][break]

”I can handle myself, Gunner,” she repeated with punctuated words, pressing her feet firmly into the ground.[break][break]

She scoffed, almost laughed, at his comment. ”Huge Pokémon. You don’t know what I’ve dealt with in my life before. That thing was the least of my concern.”[break][break]

There was a brief pause as her mind caught up, and she threw her hands in the air. ”So what about you then, huh? I’m supposed to stand aside and watch you get hurt instead, while I’m the damsel in distress? Just because I’m a woman?”

"You can't put yourself anywhere near danger." The first part would have been reason enough, if she believed it was just because of her pregnancy. However, the next phrase set her off.[break][break]

"You're pregnant, anyway."[break][break]

The moment those words left Gunner's mouth, Summer's teeth ground together, her hands coming together in fists. She could feel herself holding her breath, trying not to explode that very instant.[break][break]

Did Gunner Graves, the man she loved, believe she was fragile? A delicate little flower? She couldn't believe this![break][break]

She was forced to glare at his back as he pushed himself in front of her, between the fight and her Pokemon before the SKELEDIRGE finally left the scene. However, as Gunner spoke to her again, the flames that were lit inside her ignited into an inferno.[break][break]

"Am I okay? Am I okay? No, I'm not fucking okay, Gunner. I'm pissed." Summer's arms crossed over her chest, her Pokemon looking at each other knowingly before scurrying to the side to avoid their trainer's wrath.[break][break]

"Am I just a fragile little bird to you? Glass or some shit? Because 'I'm pregnant, anyway!' I had that situation handled myself. I was fine!"

Frigg had used DETECT, managing to protect the team as they struck the SKELEDIRGE with consecutive dark attacks. Hela used her own ghost-type moves to attack, BITTER MALICE seeming to weaken their opponent's attacks as she snapped forth with snarling teeth.[break][break]

And Summer stood with poise, commanding her team as though nothing had happened. Gunner's concern seemed irrelevant to her, and she was going to say so.[break][break]

Until he grabbed her arm, even gently, pulling her away from the attack.[break][break]

"What are you doing?" she asked, stopping and resisting his tug.[break][break]

Even though there was a dangerous Pokemon nearby, she new that her own team was more than capable at handling it. And she, herself, was strong enough to take it down alone.[break][break]

The SKELEDIRGE caught Summer and her steed by surprise. It was not a shock that the RAPIDASH sprang on its back legs in fright, letting out a loud whinny before taking off.[break][break]

Unfortunately for her, she was thrown off in the midst of the panic, though she managed to tuck and roll to avoid any large amount of damage to herself or Arceus forbid, her growing child.[break][break]

However, that left her in front of the snapping jaws of the croc, it's flames bursting forth as it began to charge. From her Poke ball, Hela sprang forth, using AGLILITY to speed her attacks to a lightning speed as she threw forth a SHADOW BALL.[break][break]

This gave Summer time to stand and dust herself off as she called forth her ABSOL and THEIVUL.[break][break]

"Destroy that creature. You know what to do."[break][break]

As Frigg and Loki charged forward, she turned at Gunner's voice. "I'm okay!" she answered.

Summer laughed, though it wasn't at her boyfriend. More so it was at his question, causing her to raise her shoulders in a shrug.[break][break]

"I've had years of equine training and practice. And sometimes, a natural affinity to the sport helps," she teased him as she waited for the two to catch up.[break][break]

"Trust me, I looked lost the first time I was on the back of a horse. Probably," she added.[break][break]

Like Summer had said... it's been years since she had first started. She couldn't quite remember what it was like the first time she got on the back of a horse Pokemon.

Summer had been trained on the art of horseback riding and practiced it for many years. It was something her father thought would be important to have in her toolbox to impress those in the upper class. In his words, she could use it as an excuse to go on an outing and discuss things on the trail.[break][break]

Or even take someone out if need be.[break][break]

She never had a time where she had to take care of someone while out riding. Rather, she rode on her own most of the time when she was younger. And as she grew older, with work and her father's tasks piling on her, she found she didn't have much time to do it.[break][break]

Until Gunner agreed to come with her today. The RAPIDASH Summer straddled wasn't unlike the one she was trained on growing up. She took off with the confidence of a girl who's ridden for many years, almost leaving Gunner in the dust with his MUDSDALE. It was freeing.[break][break]

"Easy, girl. We have to wait on the other two," she cooed softly, petting the side of the horse's neck before turning the reigns to trot back to her boyfriend.[break][break]

"Give him a good squeeze with your heels. That should get him to move forward and follow your command," Summer instructed Gunner. "Not too hard, though. Don't make him mad."

Summer had decided that she'd go out for lunch instead of take it in her office like she typically did these days. There was usually too much to do with too little time, so she spent many of her hours cooped behind her mahogany doors sparing bites as she worked.[break][break]

It was actually quite freeing to finally escape that room, even for an hour or so.[break][break]

Though she'd now restricted her diet, she chose to go to a local café. Summer ordered herself a cup of coffee — a decaf cappuccino — and a grilled chicken sandwich to come to a table of her choosing. She took her table marker, walking off to pick a seat.[break][break]

However, she paused when she spotted a familiar face. One she wasn't truly familiar with personally, but he was dear to her Gunner Graves, to put it simply.[break][break]

"Mr. GIDEON GRAVES. I didn't expect to run into you here."

Knox's comment made her teeth grind, however she didn't snap back. She did, however, feel the rising sensation of a migraine building in her temple. His nagging was only making it worse. Summer wanted this to be a peaceful exchange.[break][break]

She could never get her way with him, could she?[break][break]

Her eyes snapped up for a moment, as if to warn him not to talk with his mouth full like a barbarian. Only after taking a few more breaths and another sip of water did she speak.[break][break]

"Tired. Exhausted. Nauseous. Or are you asking about my emotional state right now? Do you actually care to know?"

Summer felt an overwhelming surge of emotions as Gunner consoled her. She rested against him, holding back tears, as he spoke positively about the future.[break][break]

She hoped he was right.[break][break]

"I want to stay in. We can order something and just watch a show? Or we can eat and enjoy each other..." Either was fitting for her.[break][break]

To say that she wanted intimate time with him was an understatement, however it may be.

Summer sighed, leaning back in her seat as he punctuated his words. As the servers came to take the plates, she signaled them to take hers as well, just taking her water instead.[break][break]

Fuck, she wished she could drink alcohol sometimes...[break][break]

Her fingers slid idly on the glass, dropping away from her brother's as she thought to herself. Prescott Industries. A real shitshow, from the beginning. Really, it was to the point that she wanted to step away and have a clean start.[break][break]

But could she even admit something like that to Knox? He'd ridicule the idea.[break][break]

"Continue trades. But our methods are not cruel or unusual like they had been anymore," she replied, finally sipping her water and gritting her teeth together. "Can we just not fucking talk about the company, okay?"[break][break]

If it was going to be like this, she didn't want to engage in it.
