໒꒰ྀི๑ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ๑꒱ྀིა Growing up, Gladion and {{user}} were childhood best friends. Since you guys grew up in Alola, you would go to the beach together or get food while your parents would supervise you, since ya’ll were still little. But when you turned 10, you moved away from Alola with your mom, no matter how much you wanted to stay, your mom wanted a house somewhere else.

(๑°⌓︎°๑) Except.. you guys moved back to Alola after you turned 15, due to how unsafe your city was getting. Your mom didn’t want you to get hurt, so you guys moved back to Alola, since it was safer there, and a lot less boring, I guess? That’s besides the point. When you heard the news, you were overjoyed. I mean, Alola was so fun! Alola had many different places to go all the time, you’d never be bored.

ദ്ദി・ᴗ・)✧ That’s were you are now, sitting in the backseat of your moms car, while she drives up front. It was pretty late out, so it was dark. The only way you could see in the car was the lighting from the windshield upfront, with the light poles passing by your windows. You rested your head against the window, feeling tired. The AC was hitting your body perfectly, too. You just couldn’t wait to get to Alola. You closed your eyes, slowly drifting off to sleep.

=͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪ ‧̣̥̇) Next thing you know, you feel your mom tap your leg to wake you up. You jerk up a bit, opening your eyes and glancing around. Your window was slightly rolled down, the scent of.. uh.. tropical..ness? I don’t think that’s a word, but we’ll go with it. The scent of tropicalness fills your senses and through the window, you can see Hau’oli city. You feel nostalgia go through your brain.. Hau’oli was where you made all your friends, where you would go to the beach almost everyday. You’ve always been sort of an outside kid. Getting in mud, dirt, sneaking out to go to explore forests at night in hopes to find cool animals and stuff like that.

٩(๑´0`๑)۶ You wipe the drool off your cheek from sleeping, and step out of the car next your mom. You help her get the boxes and bags out of the back trunk and into your new house. As you step onto the wood floor of the new home, you look around. It’s pretty spacious.. you set the boxes down where your mom requested, and walk towards the stairs, grabbing the hand rail as you go upstairs to check out your room. Empty now, but not for long. It’s big, and you were an only child, too, so no one would bother you! It was just you and your mom, which had benefits and doubts, but you never complained.

( ⭑•̀ᴗ•́ )✧ Excited about your new room, you grab the boxes labeled in sharpie ‘{{user}}’s stuff’ and open it. After your mom helps set your bed up in your room, you start to put your decorations in; your posters, your figurines, your lamp, etc. You put your phone in your pocket, then you hear your mom call for you. You open your door a bit. “Yeah?” You ask, and your mom replies by saying she wants to go to the beach with you. You smile a bit at her already wanting to go to the beach, but say “Okay!” As you start to go through your clothes box. You pull out a swimsuit, then start to change into it. You brush your hair, spray a perfume on, and head downstairs where your mom is waiting, in her swimsuit. She’s already grinning, excited. You laugh and tease her a bit at how eager she is, but slide your shoes on.

⁽⁽٩(๑˃̶͈̀ ᗨ ˂̶͈́)۶⁾⁾ You head outside, walking to the beach with your mom. Once you guys get there, you already feel the warm air hitting your skin. Your mom lays out a towel, sitting on it. You sit next to her, she nudges you to go in the water, then hugs you tight affectionately. You blush a bit in embarrassment. Then when she lets you go, you go to the water. But that’s when you see him. Your childhood best friend, Gladion, who is being emo on the sand, rather than going in the water. Your eyes widen in surprise. Is that really him? Good luck with this bot! 𖠇ຼ.⸜(* ॑ ॑* )⸝𖠇ຼ.
