Description
The mood in the Café was cheerful as the Pokémon happily reminisced among each other. It was the night of the party, and spirits were high. Some Pokémon, however, just had too much on their mind.

In the middle of the room, Abby sat staring down at the table. Resting his head on one paw. Too many thoughts racing through his head. He didn't want to be here anymore, he felt a bit uncomfortable with so many people around. But than...if he were alone he'd start losing it again.

Marie sat across from him, she stared at him with a look of concern. There was something wrong with him, she wanted to ask, she wanted to help him with whatever it was, but she knew he'd just get mad again.

Abby shifted his eyes to look at Marie. "...Come on, let's go." he said.

"What?! B-but we've only been here for 15 minutes. A-and what about Ciel?" Marie replied

"Ciel will be fine." he said looking across at the Emolga who busily kept conversation among friends. "She's got her friends with her and she'll make it home okay..."

Marie stared at him. There was something wrong with him, maybe this would finally be the chance she had for him to say whats on his mind!

"O-okay."

The walk home was silent. Marie contemplated speaking up a few times, but she decided to wait till they got home just in case Abby started yelling again.

Back at the house, Abby climbed into his chair, and opened his book. Continuing from the page he left at. Marie stared at him from the kitchen.

"...Well? Abby?" she asked shyly.

"What?"

"Why did we come home? Is something wrong?"

"No."

"Than why? You made me leave all my friends to walk you home? Abby what's wrong?"

"Marie...shut up."

Those words pierced through Marie's heart. Tears started to form in her eyes, she looked down at the floor, clenching her fist. Abby kept reading, finally he looked over where Marie stood. Something was very different about her.

"...what?" he asked, getting up to walk over in front of her. "What are you doing, Marie?"

"Why should I tell you?" she asked in a hush tone.

"what? What do you mean by that?!"

"Why should I tell you my problems if you never tell me yours?! How am I supposed to expect someone who keeps themselves so pent up to be able to help ME?! If you want to know my problem Abby, it's YOU!" she looked up at him.

Abby was, for once, surprised. Marie was actually angry. "What did I do?!" he asked, getting defensive.

"You neglect me! I offer you help! And you turn me down! I can deal with that Abby, but every time you turn it down you act like I don't know what I'm doing! Like I'm stupid!" she shouted "You're completely ungrateful, and to make it worse you give me commands like I'm some sort of pet! What makes you think that?! I like to help people Abby, but you! You're an ungrateful jerk so self-absorbed in his own confidence that you don't take the time to realize how other people feel! You could at least do that for your friends Abby! Am I not your friend!? I've followed you around and I've done everything to help you! I've even saved you from getting beaten up once! And you never once ever thanked me! You're low, Abby! I don't think I want to be around someone who mistreats me so poorly!"

Abby was shaken. Everything she said...it was true! He reached out to touch her shoulder.

"Marie, I'm-"

"SHUT UP!"

Abby's phrase was cut short as Marie grabbed the closest object, a pan, and smashed him in the face. The force of which sent Abby on his back. Marie than snapped back to reality. Holding the blood splattered pan, she looked at Abby who sat bleeding from both his nose and his left eye.

Marie dropped the pan, and fell to her knees in shock at what she did.

"No...no! no! no!" she shouted in disbelief. "A-Abby! I-I'll treat you! Than I'll leave! Y-you probably don't want to s-see me again..."

"No Marie!" Abby sat up, holding his left eye letting the blood soak his paw. But he was actually crying!

"Marie...I get it now. I didn't know you felt that way. I've never had a friend like you before, I've never really had any friends at all! I didn't think there was anything wrong with what I was doing, but Marie please! Don't leave me! I need you Marie! I feel comfortable around you, and I feel safe whenever you're by my side. I...I never really knew how to express that I guess...I'm sorry Marie, please forgive me!"

Those were all words that did not come naturally to Abby, and he was not one to use fake tears. Without thinking, he fell forward and embraced Marie. He was almost like a kid.

"A-Abby you'll get poisoned! and really! I'd understand if you don't like me now after I hit you..." she said

"I don't care if I get poisoned, and I deserved that blow to the head."

And with that they hugged for a few minutes.

"Marie...I think I really should see a doctor though." Abby said "and I need to stop this bleeding."

Marie did everything she knew how to do, disinfecting and cleaning up as much blood as she could before his bleeding finally stopped. She helped him to his feet and started towards the door, upon opening it they met with a fierce blizzard, at first they thought about waiting for the storm to die down, but than they remembered one important thing.

Ciel was still out there.
