Hailee found herself stunned for a moment when she watched Noah resurface from the water. It was almost like the world had slowed down and everything was in slow-mo. The water droplets that dripped from his golden hair fell like shining crystals sparkling as they got caught in the sun's light. He reached to brush back his soaking wet hair from his face and time returned to normal again. That was when Hailee realized she had been holding her breath. How strange.

"Just ice cream? Oh come on! We can get a whole dinner plan going by the time we're done here!" Hailee glanced back at Lili who looked at her with a similar look before they turned back to him with wide grins on their faces. "We'll we certainly can't decline such a generous offer. Isn't that right Lili." She nodded in agreement and she sat her down beside her.

"Join me!" Noah said as she splashed water towards them. "Hey!" Hailee protested with a giggle. "So we have a deal with getting more than ice cream... I promise to still get you ice cream for dessert." Lili jumped into the water without a second thought while Hailee proceed to tie up her hair. "Sounds good, let's call it a date then." she said once she snapped the hair tie band around her ponytail and slipped into the cool water.

It felt great against the heat and she sighed in relief before she and Lili both and a murderous glint in their eyes. "Get him." Hailee growled. From either side of Noah they splashed him. Hailee with a big wave a water and Lili with a sprout of water from her mouth. "And that's for earlier." she said before they both bursted out laughing.

"I'll be honest," she said once she was finally done with her fit of giggles. "I've never helped a school of corsola before. Do you think there's gonna be any baddies around?" she asked him as she leaned back and began to float around him.

"One Sneasel Burger medium well. One Scorbunny Sandwich, and One kids Cheesy Rowlet Pizza. For table one! I repeat, for table one!" Noah called out while Hailee was still adding more napkins to her front pouch. "Ah, right on time." she said as she made her way to the window to load up another tray. Stacking the second tray on her arm she balanced the two like a pro before she nodded to Melissa. "Spot me on the way over there, yeah?"

Before leaving she turned her head around and smile. "Thanks for being so quick on this everyone. They're the last table for the night." She called out before heading back to her group. "Alllright my loves, I've got everything ready for you." She said as Melissa helped her unload the drinks while she worked on the food. "Careful little one this pizza is hot." she warned the child as she placed the food in front of him.

"Is there anything else we can do for you?" she asked as she glanced at the table and added extra napkins, straws, and ketchup. "The check please." The man asked and she nodded, "Sure thing. Enjoy your meal." she said with a nod before she an Melissa headed back to the front so she could print their ticket.

"Ahhh, I'm so tired." Hailee said as she stretched her neck by rotating it back and forth. Melissa chuckled and patted her on the head, "Don't worry. You'll feel better with some good food in you. You always do." she teased. Hailee glanced up from where she was tapping on the screen. "Can't argue with that." she beamed back, "What's on the menu tonight chef?" Hailee called out loud enough for Noah to hear while she continued to tally up her table's ticket.

Stay for dinner after work!?" Noah called out to her before she was out of earshot. "Of course, wouldn't dream of missing out!" she said with a wide grin before quickly heading to table nine. It was implied that she never missed an opportunity to enjoy some of Noah's famous cooking. Besides, free food was free food. If she could save some money on dinner tonight she would accept that in a heartbeat. More money for her to spend on pampering herself later. That or attempting to be a responsible adult.

"Alright my loves," Hailee said as she approached the table. "One spicy Krabber risotto, one medium rare Miltank steak and one Feebas fillet with mashed potatoes." As she said the order the ones it belong to raised their hand and she handed them their respective plates. "Careful, the plates are hot." she warned before reaching in the pocket of her half apron and pulling out some napkins for them. "Is there anything else I can get you all?" They shook their head and thanked her for bringing their food. "No problem! Feel free to holler if you need anything." she said with a nod before quickly rushing back to front to prepare drinks for her own table.

"Thanks for grabbing that for me." Melissa breathed as she gently bumped Hailee in the hip, a sign of gratitude. "No problem girly. I saw your hands full." she said with a smile towards her as she prepared her tables drinks. "How's the orders coming for my table one cuties?" Hailee asked as she filled her tray with her table's drinks and paused by the serving bar to see if she needed to make another trip or if she could take everything at once.

Oh wow. Yeah. You look great!" Noah said which caused Hailee's smile to widen. Thanks to his nutritious meals and the Rangers making her stay athletic her figure was in the best shape it's been in for a while. She was quite proud of her gains. "Glad you like what you see." she chirped happily. Noah's flushed face going unnoticed due to how happy she was for the compliment.

"We can take the equipment just in case and if we don't need it then why not have some fun with it?" Hailee nodded as she moved to grab what she wanted from the diving gear anyway. She didn't wanna grab too much stuff. Besides she was a good swimmer anyway. But taking some of the breathing equipment would prove useful should they get themselves into a dicey situation.

While thinking about that Noah addressed her again, "After we're done here how about we go on a da...." He paused and Hailee glanced up at him with a quizzical glare. "On a day long.... Hahaaaa day long trip to the city and sight see?" Sight-seeing? "Hmmm," she hummed as she thought for a moment. "Sure if you can promise to take me to get ice cream when we go." Hailee said with a giggle before playfully sticking her tongue out at him. Nothing beat a hard day's workout on a hot day than some soft serve.

Lili popped out from her pokeball to squeal in approval. Hailee laughed as she scooped her up into her arms. "What do you say? Surely you can't turn down two cuties right?" she said as both she and Lili flashed Noah their practiced puppy dog eyes.

When Noah mentioned preparing food for the both of them Hailee beamed. She wasn't much of a chef herself. Always ordering out for anything she needed. Noah always took personal offense to her dietary habits which was cute. He made it his personal responsibility to make sure Hailee didn't die from type 2 diabetes at an early age.

Hailee got good food in the trade so she rarely complained. Besides, it was nice to have someone look after her for a change. She had been used to doing things on her own and only depending on herself for so long she had forgotten what it was like for someone else to care. "Firstly my plan is to get changed into something more water friendly. We'll both be ready to get wet then."

Hailee flashed him a sympathetic smile, he didn't get her little joke but that was part of his charm. "Could you please keep a lookout while I change? AND HEY! NO PEEKING!" Noah said as he slipped off somewhere to get changed. "Boo, and I was so looking forward to catching a little glimpse." Hailee replied with a pout. Meanwhile she slipped her clothes off while on guard duty since she had her bikini underneath.

It didn't take long for him to change and Hailee was envious of that. Guys always had it easy when it came to stuff like this. But such was the price for beauty she guessed. After shoving her clothes in her bag she quickly got back up and followed Noah as he made his way to where the researcher's had set up camp.

"Hey there! We're the two Rangers assigned to help you guys. Is there anything specific you need us to do?" An older gentleman that was working on setting up the tent glanced back at them for a moment before setting down what he was doing to properly address them. "Happy to have two youngsters here!"

Based on his posture and the difference in clothes he had from the rest Hailee assumed he would be the big guy in charge. "I would ask for you two to join the Corsola in the water and keep the predators at bay while they move. Of course you two wouldn't be alone, we would have people both in the water and around doing the same." While the guy explained he also nodded in the direction of diving equipment for the two of them to utilize should they need to.

"I do believe we both have some water boys with us so it should be safe. Also may I leave my backpack here with your supplies?" Already back to attending to the task he had left off with, the leader pointed towards a tent where they could set their belongings and Hailee nodded and thanked him before leaving.


"We have the plan! Are you ready to get wet Miss Hailee?" Once she was fitting setting her things aside she glanced back at him with a proud expression and her hands on her hips. "Always." she said with a giggle before pointing towards the diving equipment. "Do you think we'll need these?"

Tonight had been a very busy one and her favorite place to grab a bite needed a few hands on deck so of course she offered her services. Besides, she always was around Noah and his family, at this point it was expected to see this particular blonde twirling around their floors. A good thing too. Those that were regulars easily recognized her and newcomers welcomed her. Easily captivated by her charm and hard work ethic, Hailee always gave it her all when she helped out at Noah's place.


"Alrighty," Hailee said as she twirled her pen through her fingers while looking down at her notepad. "So that'll be one Scorbunny Sandwich with a Teddiursa Iced Coffee. One Sneasel Burger, hold the pickles, with a Milktank Mix Au Lait, extra whipped cream on that." she said with a wink towards the customer while she jotted that down. "And finally one Cheesy Rowlet Pizza with an Applin Apple Juice for the litte one. That all sound right?" She asked as she beamed at the little family of three.

"Perfect." The mother replied with a smile. "Litty. Then I'll work on bringing y'all your drinks and your food will be right out my darlin's." she said before tickling the little baby boy's cheek, smiling while she watched him giggle before she left. Hailee twirled and dodged her way past the other servers who were working hard just to hear an order be readied.

"Hey hey! One spicy Krabber risotto, one medium rare Miltank steak and one Feebas fillet with mashed potatoes for table 9!" Noah called out. Table 9 wasn't hers but to make things faster Hailee quickly started loading up the tray. "I'll handle it. I think Melissa has her hands full right now." she said as she tacked her order on the spinner for Noah.

"One Sneasel Burger medium well. One Scorbunny Sandwich, and One kids Cheesy Rowlet Pizza all for table one. I'll handle the drinks once I'm back hot stuff." she said as she blew a playful kiss towards Noah before she was gone with the wind as quickly as she had come around.

Hailee knew Noah wouldn't be too upset with her. He rarely ever was. Was she using that to her advantage? Quite possibly. But hey, that's what many years of friendship with the guy allowed her to do. "If it makes you feel any better... You do look quite stunning so it was worth?" Hailee's eyes twinkled at the complement while she decided to strike a small pose for him while they walked. "You like what you see then?" she said teasingly with a lighthearted chuckle.

If there was one thing Hailee knew about herself it was that she knew she was pretty. Some would call it conceited but Hailee would just call it confidence and she didn't see any problem with that. Luckily for Noah Hailee didn't pick up on his little word fumble, way too busy thinking about how nice the water would feel on her skin later.

Hailee whistled as they approached the volunteer station while they continued to set up. "They really came prepared." she said softly under her breath so that only Noah would hear. It was a reminder to Hailee that this wasn't a pleasure trip, they had real work to do. "Right." She said as she finally released her hold on Noah's hand. "What's the plan first?" Noah was usually the brains of the partnership. Hailee preferring to improvise. She smirked at him, "Other than anticipating getting wet of course," she offered him a wink.

Maybe they're used to do this with the local Rangers so they might either meet at the farm house or at the bee area thingy? I have no idea what it would be called." Malik offered her some insight and Hailee just hummed as she thumbed through the recent contacts in her rotom phone. Still, they knew when they reached out to them that they were dealing with the usual's. Professionalism told her they should've been prepared for this. To at least give them more insight so they could do this job properly.

"Me neither," Hailee offered Malik with a smile. Like she mentioned earlier, this wasn't her thing so she didn't know much about any of this. But she was a fast learner, she could at least count on that. "How about... Hmmm. How about I send the loyal pyro pupper with you. So you guys can check if the owners are with the bees and I can go check their farm house over there. Or we can both go there. Up to you."

Hailee tapped a manicured nail on her chin before nodding. It would probably be best for them to split up. But if she went with his pokemon she felt like she should send one with him. "Lili?" Hailee gently called out for her kindhearted Politoed. Lili quickly appeared from her pokeball. "Politoed~" she said with a sleepy yawn. Hailee smiled. "Lili can you be a dear and go with my new friend here?" Lili glanced up to look at Malik before nodding and waddling over to him.

"Alright then, we can split up and then if we find them we can just meet up with the other." Hailee said with a nod. "Oh, here hand over your phone. I'll give you my number that way you can call or text me if you find them." she said as she held out her hand waiting for him to hand the device over.

Okay, now while Hailee knew full well this wasn't a pleasure trip she couldn't help but take her time to get in the 'mood'. Could you blame her? The weather was just screaming beach day and if she was going to work she was going to she was going to look good doing it, that was for sure. However, it wasn't her intention to let time escape away from her like it did.

In a typical Hailee fashion, she just couldn't decide what to wear. After checking the time and realizing she was running late she had decided on a cute yellow number that would match her brown and yellow bikini she was wearing underneath. Y'know, for when they inevitably had to take a dip of course.

By now she was running to the meeting sight. When she saw a familiar head of blonde hair she speed up. "Hey!" she waved with a big grin on her face, deep tinted sunglasses bouncing on her own head of blonde locks. When Hailee finally caught up to Noah she was out of breath. Bending down to catch her breath for a moment she popped back up with a larger than life grin on her face.

"Sorry I'm late...I...sheeesh" she said still catching her breath, "I...." she blushed a bit as she scratched her cheek, "Couldn't figure out what to wear." she said with a little laugh before readjusting the bag slung across her shoulder and reaching down to grab Noah's hand with her other hand.

"Thanks for waiting though! Come on let's go before we're even more late." she said with a laugh before pulling him towards where the other volunteers were waiting for them. She hoped they wouldn't be too upset with her for prolonging things.

I'm glad to have a connoisseur of the many honeys out there. You might have to teach me some time. " Malik replied smoothly with a wink. Hailee's eyes widened in surprise before her facial expression shifted to one that said 'he wouldn't be ready for this wild ride' before chuckling to herself.

Getting back to business though, Malik said something that surprised her. "I think before we start smoking pokémon out we should communicate our arrival to the owners of the farm." Now that he mentioned it... Hailee looked around and didn't see the farm owners anywhere. "Hmm, you do have a point." she said with a slow nod.

"I don't think our pockets are well suited for carrying around honey, we might need some containers too." Hailee grinned and nodded. That was also true. But normally on missions like these the client's would've been in placed. She wandered what could've happened to them. If call time was this early and she had to wake up early to make it here on time, they should be on time too.

Following Malik through the gate she nodded as he let her pass, "We don't need to get blamed for any of the Miltanks escaping." Hailee snorted, "Yeah. Wouldn't want more work on our hands. You're right. But what do we do now?" She questioned as she pulled out her phone, considering if she should contact the farmers.

He seemed a bit slow to pick up what was going on but eventually he got the hang of it. Hailee couldn't blame him though, most mornings up this early were spent playing in slow-mo for her too. "I dunno about little pyros but I do have this big one always with me." Hailee looked down as he nudged the Arcanine forward and she smiled.

The large fire pup offered her a paw in greeting. Hailee took it with a light chuckle. "Good morning to you too. I look forward to working with you today." she smiled. "So uuuuuuh.. Have you done this before? I can happily say this is my first time with the whole Combee thing." Hailee shook her head as she took a sip from her coffee cup.

"Nah, can't say I'm well versed in the art of retrieving honey." She said before she pursed her lips in thought. A wicked grin spread across her lips before she continued, "Not this type of honey at least." it was a poor excuse for a dirty joke. Don't come for her, it was early in the morning.

"I imagine a little smoke action and a good distraction will allow us enough time to grab the good stuff. Sound like a good plan?" She asked as she turned toward Malik.

It was too fucking early for this bullshit. Hailee grumbled something incoherent under her breath as she trudged her way to the site of the job. It was too early, but a job was a job and Hailee needed the cash. How else was she supposed to keep up with her expensive spending habits? Still, why did she have to be her so damn early?

Hailee yawned as she brought her coffee cup to her lips in a sad attempt to coax away her drowsiness. The thing that made this early morning request worse was that she had class after this. So she had to sit through a lecture she wouldn't even care about. Of course, skipping was always an option but people in Hoenn seemed to know everyone else so if she took this assignment and missed out on class her professor would be on her ass.

On top of that, she couldn't go to school looking crazy. She was a fashion major. So she had to wake up even earlier in order to look some what presentable. "Kill me now." she groaned. As the young blonde ranger approached the farm she could hear a loud groan reach her ears before she even laid eyes on the source. "Coffeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" Hailee nodded in understanding. Lucky for the owner of the voice Hailee had thought ahead. If she had to be awake at the ass crack of morning, her partner would be too. So when she stopped by for her liquid heaven fix she picked up something for them too.

"You rang?" Hailee spoke up with a yawn while she extended her hand out to the guy she'd be working with. In her hand was the coffee meant for them. "I had an extra." she continued before taking another long sip from her own cup. With a sigh of relief as the warm contents within the cup cleared the fog from her own mind, she turned crimson orbs towards her partner. "I'm Hailee by the way. Looks like we'll be working together this morning." she continued as she scanned the farm. "I hope you're strapped with little pyromancers because I'm fresh out." she added dryly as a joke. But it was true, Hailee had capable pokémon just not fire types worth a damn.
