This was some season 6 crazy-level drama that would end in ripples of forum debates, where half of the audience would praise the show for taking on interesting twists, while the others sought complaints about how wildishly unrealistic everything had become. Right now? Rory opinion swayed into the third category of thought: this was just too much.

Cradling the phone in her hands, Rory pushed herself out from the covers. She was the type to panic when others panic, so naturally, she had found herself pacing the room. Like always.

For the first time that night, a soft giggle leaked through. One is not born from stiff awkwardness, or her innate inability to navigate through tense social situations like this, but rather, an actual shard of genuine laughter.

And it's through that bubble of enjoyment, a thought made its way through her thoughts, followed by an uplifting smile.

Rory hummed out in thought, fingers grazing through the fluff of the houndoom's fur. They did make a good pair, her and him.
[break][break]
"I remember Grimmie," she smiled, nodding. The pokemon hadn't been too rough during their sessions. More understanding than most, actually. Maybe it was within Houdoom's natural instincts to behave. "She is a sweetheart. I hope she's been doing alright since then. Give her lots of treats for me!"

Her fingers moved to below the stray houndoom's chin, softly scratching the pink, bald patch.

"The creation process is strenuous. Most who go through it do so without much issue of its repercussions."

Face scrunched up in light disgust, she reached out to pluck the glass from her sibling's fingers. Its rim and sides were still shimmering with leftover beads of water, as expected. Aaron was never the type to take the extra step in cleaning piece of his mistake. There were always some leftovers.

Nights have grown long and restless. Between working late into the night with JAMES BAKER , trying to get wolfgang volkov to talk to her during office hours, and spending any additional time binging the newest season of Bridgerton, there hadn't been much girl time left over. Sometimes Rory mourned that loss, but then she remembered how busy annalise henderson was herself, and even if given the chance, the young ranger probably would've given an answer no different than her own.

Which made this onslaught of calls so unexpected.

"Huh," her voice was hoarse. She blinked herself awake, then tried again. "Who kissed you?"

He was right, like always.

But, again, Rory swallowed down the thought. Instead, she allowed his suggestion to consume her mind, smiling as she noticed an emptied wooden picnic table set out between a couple of the food stands.

"Sure! Let's sit over there."

When they walked over, instead of sliding into the opposite bench, Rory chose to hover, her eyes caught in the web of fairground delicacies served just a few meters away.

Her eyes returned to his.

"Actually, stay here. I want to get something sweet for us."

A pause.

"But don't look! Like, keep your eyes over here." She waved towards the carnival games, stretched out toward the opposite side of the fairgrounds. "I want it to be a surprise."

For the next 10 minutes or so, Rory spent her time waiting in two different lines. When she returned, it was not without two paper plates full of steaming delights.

She placed them onto the tablespace before sliding onto the opposite bench.

"I hope you like them."

"Well," She began, nerves already biting at her cheeks. There was no stopping the splotches of red from infecting her pale cheeks. The fact that James was now notably closer than before didn't help, too.

"My name's Rory Faust. I recently graduated from the University of Slateport with a bachelor's in mechanical and electrical engineering."

Uptalk infested her voice, turning confidence into a far-off dream she'd once conceived during a night's rest.

"I previously interned at..." Her mind drew to an abrupt pause. No matter how hard she searched, no answer arrived on her tongue. Whenever one did, one look into James' eyes was all it took for it to get lost again.

Eventually, she gave up.

"God, I'm awful at this."

Cheeks red, eyes squeezed shut, she buried her face into her hands.

The sight didn't surprise her. For as long as she'd known her brother, there wasn't another word that quite describes more than being a complete mess. Even if he tried passing it off to Greyson Connors , his roommate, Rory knew better than to fall victim to the gaslighting.

"Just water, please," she called over her shoulder. It's with two fingers she slowly plucked pieces of clothing from off the couch, tossing it back onto the ground before nestling into the crinkled leather. It squealed to her movement. "I wanted to talk to you about Mom."

"Type: Null?"

The name rung more than a few bells. For someone as strictly bound to her morals as Rory, it was an abomination of science created for the greed-infested goal of ultimate power. Still, her allegiance to rocket had forced her into the role of the hypocrite, and thus she had already learned more than she ever wanted about the amalgamation of Pokémon parts.

"I know a bit, unfortunately," she forced a smile, eyes searching for comfort from the route's greenery, "I've worked with a few biomedical engineers on one. It's a harsh process. I don't know if there's currently an alternative."

Though, the same could be said about many other problems moments before a solution is born.

"You also have JAMES BAKER working on this, right?"

In the meantime, a stray houndoom had found its way onto their path. Rather than vicious, the pup took to a kinder, approaching Rory with a gentle hop. She reached down to pet his snout.

Those words brought out an ache strong enough to force Rory's hands loose. With a soft thud, the wooden spoon fell from her fingers, slamming down into the mixing bowl. At the same time, the young scientist had spun herself around to face him, hands reaching for his to offer not only comfort, but support in the way that screamed 'im here for you.'

"Yeah, well, I'll always be here for you, Cade."

Her bleeding heart had spun her into a fool. More than the fear she felt for his history of crimes, there was a deep-rooted desire to comfort another lonely soul.

"so you can count on me."

"yeah, okay."

It's no light work reigniting the small space craft. Between the wiring and mechanical aspects of setting the engine back into gear, Rory and Mawile spent several minutes dug into the depths of the cockpit. By the time she came back out, sweat coated her forehead, sticking the pieces of her bang against it.

Her face crinkled.

"I think I got it."

She gave the key a quick tug. The engine, while loud, does little to power up it's entirety. It simply chugged out a puff of smoke.

She tried again.

Nothing.

One last time.

As if the charms of 3 blessed their space craft, the engine roared to life with the final twist of the key, lighting up not only it's inner systems, but the lights adorning it's front and rear.

Poking her head out, Rory offed a half smile.

"Anyone wants a ride?"
