Eight PM. You told the Pinks during breakfast to make some homemade chocolates for the two of you to enjoy. They agreed, and said they'd be ready by the time of your confession. You're standing at the door to the lounge, and sure enough, you hear the sound of the TV from inside.

You've been standing by the door for 10 whole minutes. You'd prepared a speech and everything, and practiced it to yourself in your room at least 20 times. Every other night, you just waltzed right into the room Why was it so difficult this time?

Finally, you muster up the courage, and push the door open. Sure enough Ryuko was sitting on the couch, watching Independence Day.

You walked up behind her, and gave your usual spiel.

"H-Hey, again. You get anything to eat this time?" You ask.

"Nah." She replies in her usual tone.

"W-Well then, I'll go and get you something to eat again, huh?"

"Uh, sure... What's with you today? You're not usually this... jumpy." Crap. You're losing it. You need to leave, to get the snack, now.

"O-oh, I'm just nervous about tomorrow is all... Don't worry about it..."

You walk over to the door and are just about to open it when...

"SLAM!" The door busts open. There, on the other side of the door are three pinks. One's carrying a carton of homemade chocolate, but the other two are carrying food you never asked for. The one on the left has two steak dinners in her hands, while the one on the right is carrying two wine glasses and a bottle of red wine.

"I... Uh... Wha?" You stammer. You look behind you. For the first time in your life, you see Ryuko with a genuinely shocked, speechless expression on her face. Her eyes are wide open, and her mouth is slightly agape.

"We got the stuff you ordered, dearie!" They exclaimed cheerfully. "Two steak dinners, two glasses and a bottle of wine, and a large box of homemade chocolates!"

"But... but I didn'-" You try and explain, but you're cut off and the pinks enter the room. They place the food on the coffee table in front of the couch, and give the box to Ryuko.

"We'll just leave this here for you two lovebirds to enjoy! Good luck on your date, darling!" As they pass you by, you notice one of them smile at you. Not a fake, **** smile, but a genuine smile of happiness for your situation. You get the feeling that they knew you'd fluster, and decided to break the news themselves. Maybe they weren't as robotic as you thought...

They close the door behind them and leave you staring blankly at the door. Your silence is interrupted by Ryuko chiming in with a sing-song voice.

"Lovebirds, huh?" She spoke in a teasing manner. "Well, birdie, why don't you come sit down and help me eat these chocolates? I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat all of them."

"Y-yes! Right away!" You exclaimed and sat down right next to her.

The two of you did end up eating them all. You finished off the steak and the wine as well. It was one in the morning when a very drunk, and very happy Pokemon trainer wobbled her way back to her room and flopped down on her bed.

...

The next morning you woke up, still in your regular outfit. You groan. You have a splitting headache. You take a look at the clock. 10:20. You take a look at the screen. Sure enough, you've got a call to be escorted to your performance at 10PM tonight. You sigh, and change into a fresh outfit.

Ryuko was at lunch today. She sat next to you and constantly teased you about your relationship. No longer did she have a bored attitude, but a playful, almost sultry one. Cammy found it very entertaining.

The four of you spend the day playing Smash Bros. in the lounge. To everyone's surprise, Cammy came first. Ryuko came second, You third and Weiss, who had never touched a video game in her life came dead last.

Eventually, though, you said your goodbyes to Cammy and Weiss, and spent the remainder of your evening watching TV with Ryuko. However, the time eventually came. You patted Ryuko on the shoulder, and said your goodbye.

"Wait, before you go, I've got something to tell you." Ryuko said, urgently.

You leaned in close to hear what she had to say, but you were met with her lips pressed against your face. It was nothing special really, but you were left absolutely speechless.

"I love you." Said Ryuko, and turned back to the television. You said nothing, and simply smiled as you made your way to the doors at the end of the hall.
