89. [Video/Action for travel group]

_{[A short while after the singing wild Pokemon and egg presents had died down, a rather unfortunate discovery was made upon dialing a number she'd been meaning to dial ever since Claudia Wolf and Kaito Kuroba had disappeared from Johto.]

[Already on the road, the weather's mild enough (even with the wind picking up) that Heather decided that was pretty much a good time to pocket her Valentine's Day present and just head off for a walk. Because lord knows, she needs one.]

[It's not the first time Johto has given everyone the gift of a precious little egg, but it is the first time that Heather's found herself resenting it.]

[The video feed pops on, focused in on a tiny, pale yellow little egg hardly bigger than a chicken's, nestled in the palm of Heather's hand as dry grass goes past underfoot.]}

It would be so easy to just... crush it.

Why would you want to do that?

Because I'm sick of this place taking things away and then handing us stuff like a pretty present will make it all better.

Oh. Did more people leave?

[He sounds pretty concerned right now]

What the fuck do you think?

_{[And she sounds pretty... nasty, actually. She's in a mean state of mind right now.]}

Well, the answer's pretty obvious. That really sucks.

Sucks?

That's like what you say when you run out of Cheerios, or there isn't any parking left at the grocery store.

It's a bit of an UNDERSTATEMENT, don't you think?

I meant sucks in the worst way possible. I could use worse language, but you know, kids use this thing to.

You want to talk about it?

I've already talked about it.

Doesn't help much anymore.

What would help then?

_{[She blows out a hefty, aggravated sigh.]}

... Wish I could think of anything that would.

You could hang out with me? Because you know, when I'm feeling sad, I stop feeling sad, and be awesome instead. And it works. True story.

And I think if you hang out with me, I could help you with that.

_{[... What?]

[The change in Heather's posture is sort of like a snapping rubber band. She tenses and whips her head back around to face the screen. Did he seriously just say that?]}

... What the fuck is your problem?

My problem is that you're upset, Heather. And I don't like seeing my friends upset.

I'm just trying to help.

So you tell me to stop being sad and 'start being awesome'? On what fucking planet is it OKAY to say that to someone who just--?!

_{[Lost their little sister, their ex-little sister who grew up all alone and turned into a religious fanatic and STILL LOVED THEM even in her own twisted way, and the boy they'd been falling for?]

[... not that Barney, y'know, had any way of knowing any of that, but!]}

And what could-- what could YOU do to help? HIT on me like-- like you do with all those nurses?! _{[YEAH SHE REMEMBERS ALL YOUR BRAGGING, BARNEY. >:I]}

Most? You don't have to do it right away, but you can't stay...mopey all the time. I don't think the people who went home would like that very much.

And as for what I could do?

[He opens his mouth, he had an idea but they don't have laser tag here, which is lame]

A lot of things. Not hitting on you. Ever. At all.

You make it sound like I'm-- mad about them moving AWAY or-- just, FUCK! Haven't you LOST anybody before?!

What makes you think this is something that could just-- just GO AWAY?

I'm not MOPEY.

I am so fucking far BEYOND mopey it's--

I can't BELIEVE you!

Okay, so maybe mopey was the wrong word, but seriously Heather, staying sad won't help you in the long run.

I didn't get to see Marshall before he left but I got over it.

[She can totally punch him in the face the next time she sees him]

_{[SHE JUST MIGHT.]

[Her voice takes on a snarly, accusing tone.]}

Marshall was your friend from back home, RIGHT?

Well, yeah. One of my best friends.

Awesome. So you'll get to see him.

Well, guess what?

I'm never gonna get to see the people I've lost, EVER AGAIN.

One of them is DEAD.

So you can stick your condescending cheer-up bullshit up your ass and get over THAT, you smug piece of shit!

[He opens and closes his mouth a few times, trying to find the right comeback. Sadly, he fails.]

Sorry.

Didn't realize it was that bad.

And for what it's worth, I wasn't being smug.

Yeah, well, I don't know how 'One time I was sad and then I stopped being sad and started being awesome' could be taken any other way.

You could take it inspirationally.

Fuck you.

Uh...no?
