The Fox and the Ferret
ch.1

The neon lighted dance floor was packed as everyone gathered 'round to watch in awe at the young vulpix and quilava  who had become the life of the party, without even trying. The song "flying high(by trance)" was blaring in the background as they danced circles around each other, not even quite aware of the their movements. Without even consent of thought they mimicked movements in perfect sync, only one thing on their minds.
"She's so beautiful..."
"He's so amazing...."
As they got closer and closer, time seemed to slow down, the music grinding to a halt. Everything else was a mere blur, but when the looked into each other's eyes, their little hearts pounding in their chest, it was all crystal clear. Faster and faster they went, getting closer and closer until their faces were mere inches from each other. "This is my chance." the quilava thought to himself. "It's now or never!" He pulled her in until their noses touched, both knowing what came next yet still not quite believing it was about to happen.
The vulpix's cheeks flushed red at his touch. "Oh Arceus, I've waited so long for this moment." She closed her eyes and awaited for the final moment to come, their lips coming less than inches from each other. He rubbed his paw against her cheek. It was so plush and soft, like warm velvet. "I love you..." He whispered in her ear just before they embraced in a passionate kiss. She placed both paws on his back and leaned into him. The quilava did the same, wrapping his arms around her waist as his flames stood straight up. Between the two fire pokemon, the temperature in the room was so intense that the neon lights began to reflect off  little heat waves, creating a cloud of aurora like steam around them. No one in the room moved, nor spoke. Just stood in shock at the turn of events that had just taken place. The music began to fade away, and so to did their lips as they pulled back.
The entire club erupted into cheers and whistles, yet still the two of them blocked out all but the image of the other. The silence was finally broken after what seemed like an eternity. "I love you too." the vulpix whispered back into his ear. They stood there center stage in a tight embrace, neither one wanting to let go. It was just to good to be true. Almost like a dream......Just then, from what seemed like a million miles away, an alarm clock rang in the distance.
Philedos the quilava awoke on the edge of his master's bed to harsh sunlight pouring in through an open window. He looked around for a few seconds before reality came rushing back to him. He sighed with disappointment. "Just another dream...." Philedos dragged himself off the bed and into the bathroom. He stared lazily at his ruffled fur through the mirror. "well, if I'm going to impress Shana..." He got a comb out of a drawer and ran it through his fur, then wet it down until it got that particular spiky look he was so accustomed to. Seeming satisfied with how he looked, he flashed a toothy smile in the mirror. "Lookin good, as always." Despite being a total perverted pretty boy chick magnet, Philedos was actually a very sweet and mild-tempered pokemon. All the times he flirted with other girls he met either on the ranch or out of town with master, was really to cover up the fact that he was secretly in love with Shana the vulpix.
Shana was a very clean, uptight and preppy girl on first glance. Shana could always be   identified by the signature red bow she always wore around her neck. She walked and talked like she was practically royalty, mostly because her ancestry wasn't too far off. Both of her parents had been pokemon contest legends, and as their only daughter, she was expected to amount to great things. In her room she shared with the other girls however, she sometimes showed a very different side of her personality. Such was the case now.
Shana sat alone in her corner of the room, carefully brushing down her thick, beautiful coat. Every now and then she would instinctively look up at her mirror, adjusting her bow or brushing out a knot she found. She wanted to make sure she looked perfect for Philedos. Master was taking all of them to HeartHome city for a once in a lifetime event. The 100 year luvdisc migration. Every hundred years, massive herds of luvdisc would make their way from pastoria down into the sea, leading right past HearHome's docks in the process. It was supposed to be one of the most romantic moments in history, and she hoped to take advantage of it.
Unbeknownst to Philedos, she also was madly in love with the quilava. She felt free around him, like all the pressure of being perfect was lifted off her shoulders. Philedos was the only pokemon who didn't judge her or care how she acted. The opposite was true for Philedos as well. They understood each other more than anyone else, yet they pretended otherwise, just to fit in with everyone else. Well no more!
Shana gazed at the gorgeous vulpix reflected in the mirror. "I will be with you Philedos. We belong together, and in 3 days time I'm going to prove it." Halfway across the house in another room, Philedos also made a vow. "I would do anything for you Shana. I'm going to prove that in the next 3 days." As they thought this vow over and over again in their heads, the two finally rushed out of the rooms. Neither one wanted to be late for the event that would surely change their lives forever.
