I decided to dive into another drama happening with Moon. But we'll see Guzma, too.


Gladion and Moon had spent a week in the Unova region. There was a chance that Guzma and Hala might be in the Unova up to a month or more after learning more things about the training exercise they would be doing. Guzma didn't sound too happy about it, as if he wanted to go home sooner much to Gladion's confusion. Doesn't he want Moon to experience a new region fully? Two weeks was not nearly enough time to see all of the Unova region anyway. He himself had thought about having Moon convince her mother to let them both stay for a bit longer. Besides: he loved having an excuse to spend a longer time traveling with his crush. After finding out they had more time, Moon had decided to start a new team, Mohn back at Pokepelago taking care of her Alola team. Upon getting some encouragement from Moon, she convinced Gladion to also start a new team but he kept his Silvally.

Having faith in water types, Moon picked an oshawott to be her new partner. But he contrasted her Primarina, Saspra, so much in personality. Saspra was always so quiet, gentle, and sweet. She got along with the whole team and looked after all of them. She was the leader of Moon's pokemon and took care of them. Even as a popplio, she was always sweet and had already felt an innate responsibility to take care of the team. But this oshawott was hyper, temperamental, and naughty. He especially loved to prank Gladion and his new Snivy. On top of everything, he was jealous and possessive of Moon, something she initially thought was cute but slowly realized was not going to be cute when he got more powerful. He had been picking fights with her newly caught purrloin, Sashay, because of this. Once again, she and Gladion had to pull them off of each other.

"Moon, we got to train him out of that." Gladion said, holding a very angry purrloin.

Oshawott still squirmed in Moon's arms. Moon had shared a treat with purrloin a few minutes ago and Oshawott was not just going to let that fly, no sir! He was Moon's no. 1 pokemon! He gets all the treats, cuddles, and pets! No one else! She chose him first! All of her pokemon were beneath him and any of them that tried to surpass him would be crushed!

"I've tried talking to him. You know this." Moon said.

"Well... then... I don't want to say it but..." Gladion trailed off.

Moon became horrified at what he was implying.

"Release him? I can't do that!" Moon said.

Oshawott suddenly went stiff in her arms. She wouldn't do that, right? Also, surely Gladion wasn't the kind of person to suggest that? But the boy facepalmed in response.

"Not release him! Geez! I work for an organization that helps pokemon that get abandoned and stuff like that. I mean re-home him or trade him off to someone he'll listen to. Moon, he's not going to listen to you and he's only going to get stronger everyday you train with him. You know as well as I do that a pokemon that won't listen to their trainer can get dangerous." Gladion said.

Moon looked down at him sadly and he looked at her with a pleading look.

'Don't give me away. Don't abandon me. I just want to be your number one. I don't want any other pokemon to take that from me.' He said.

"He's a young pokemon that just really likes you. He's dealing with it childishly but I don't think you should give up on him just yet." A man said.

Gladion and Moon looked to see a man with long green hair step out into the clearing with them.

"Who are you?" Gladion asked, stepping in front of Moon protectively.

"Pardon me. I was just passing through and couldn't help but overhear." He said.

"Who are you?" Gladion asked, glaring.

"Gladion, be nice!" Moon scolded.

"Sorry. My name is N. I was just wondering if I could talk to your Oshawott for a moment?" N asked.

Gladion was skeptical but Moon walked over to N with Oshawott, desperate to find a solution. N bent down to Oshawott's level.

"So, Oshawott,-" N began.

"His name is Nareus." Moon said.

"Nareus, what do you think of your trainer?" He asked.

'I like her! She chose me! She and I have already won battles together! But I don't understand. I'm her first pokemon so that means I'm number one. So why does she give that purrloin any attention? It's weak and I'm strong! I've been with her longer! She and I can be strong together! Just us! No one else!' he proclaimed.

N frowned. He used to think pokemon could never do anything wrong or ever be terrible. But, ever since he's traveled the world, he found that pokemon really were never any different than people and had the same capacity for being mean and selfish as any person. He relayed what he said to Moon. She and Gladion both looked alarmed at this. She was hesitant but knew she had to have a serious talk with him. N agreed to relay what Nareus said.

"Nareus... I can't have a pokemon that isn't willing to work with a team of pokemon." She said.

'Why not?!' He asked.

"Because it's impossible to become a strong trainer without the help of other pokemon. Trust me, I know." She said.

'But I am number one!' He said.

"Nareus, you're not the first pokemon I've owned. I have a whole team of six back at my home in the Alola region. Remember when I'd talk about Saspra? Saspra isn't a person, she is a primarina and my best friend and partner. I left her at home so she and my other team could relax while I train here in the Unova region with new pokemon. I wanted to start a new team of new pokemon because I wanted some new friends. I'm not just here to get strong. I'm already a champion, I already accomplished my dreams. I just want to have fun and add to my family back home. If you can't get along with any pokemon I have, do you really think I'm going to keep you around in place of my old team when you meet them?" She asked.

But Nareus, ever the young baby pokemon he was, only heard 'Saspra was her number 1, not him.'

'I'm not your number 1?! I want to meet Saspra! I'll show here!' He roared.

N relayed this and Moon facepalmed.

"He didn't listen to anything else, did he?" Moon asked.

Gladion then had an idea. Saspra was good with young pokemon! Sometimes she helped back at the Aether foundation with fostering them. At best, she'll be able to get through to him by talking and at worst... she'll put him in his place. Nareus wasn't near strong enough to hurt Saspra.

"Actually... Maybe we should bring Saspra over for a bit." Gladion said.

"But I want her to have a break." Moon asked.

"Moon, think about it. Do you really think she'll let this little brat boss her around?" Gladion asked.

"Young pokemon do learn better manners around older pokemon." N agreed.

"Well... Okay." She said.


Guzma sat at a picnic table with Hala glumly. He didn't like that he'd be away from Kalani for possibly over a month or two now. While he did warn her that there was a chance that his training in the Unova region could get extended, he didn't think it would actually happen. He had such big plans for when he got back, too!

"Oh come on, Guzma! Surely you're not that dependent on seeing her!" Hala said.

"That's not the problem. She's okay with it all and we talk to each other a lot. It's just that I was planning on asking her to marry me when I got back home." Guzma said.

"But, shouldn't you tell Moon who you are to her, first?" Hala asked.

"We're still worried." Guzma said.

"Well why not be honest to your daughter first, before taking the next step?" Hala asked.

"I just don't know how she'll take it." He said.

"Well it will be overwhelming. Not to mention she'll probably have a lot of questions for her mother. But you guys should probably get that out of the way, first. She won't be upset that you're her father, at least not anymore but, she will be upset that you guys have been hiding it from her not to mention she'll probably be upset that he mother lied to her. You have no excuses to be hiding it anymore, she already loves you. Don't you think you and Kalani owe her the truth? Not to mention your parents, her grandparents, also have a right to know, too." Hala said.

"I guess... I'll talk to Kalani tonight and see what she thinks." Guzma said.

"Guzma... No more stalling. I mean it. She is going to find out eventually and I'd rather she learned it from you two." Hala warned.

"Yeah yeah. I'll tell Kalani before bed. Anyway, I gotta train up this little fuzz ball tonight." Guzma said, gesturing to his Joltik.

Joltik nodded, eager to get stronger.

"Hey, no putting it off, either." Hala said.

"Alright, I won't! Now let's get back to work!" Guzma said, standing up.

Hala frowned. He knew Guzma enough to know that he had a hard time with things like this. After all, he avoided trying to talk to Kalani until he basically lost everything even though Hala tried his best to get him to talk to her. Was he going to do something similar about this? Not say anything to Moon until something slips? Nevertheless, Hala trained with Guzma and Joltik until nightfall. When they were setting up camp, Hala was glad to see Guzma take out his phone to call his girlfriend.

"Hey, babe!" He greeted happily.

He and Kalani chatted but Hala noticed that Kalani also seemed nervous. Both of them looked nervous. He silently wondered if they were doing okay as a couple. There was a moment of silence before they both spoke again.

"You look nervous." they said at the same time.

Both of them laughed a bit.

"You go first." Kalani said.

"You can." Guzma said.

"No, I rather you did." She insisted.

Guzma took a deep breath.

"I think it's time we told Moon everything." He said.

"Oh... are you sure?" She asked.

"I am." He said, nodding.

"Not in the Unova region though. I'd rather do it in person." Kalani said.

"Same. Let's just hope nothing slips until then." He said.

"Well... if it does, I guess we'll deal with it." She said.

"Yeah." He agreed.

There was more silence.

"So... what were you nervous about?" Guzma asked.

Kalani looked really anxious... and emotional.

"Babe..? What's wrong?" He asked, concerned and nervous.

"My period skipped." She said.

"Umm... okay? TMI." He said.

Kalani couldn't help but laugh. She forgot that Guzma grew up with a more conservative mother that didn't tell him a lot of things... and he could be so dense.

"Guzma, no... Do you remember why a woman has her period?" She said.

"How could I forget? You summed it up to me so hilariously back in college. Your body basically spends weeks preparing for a baby and then gets angry when there isn't a baby and then makes you pay for it!" He laughed.

"Yeah. And right now, my body isn't 'angry' with me when it normally is every month. What could that mean?" She said, now amused with him.

It finally clicked and Kalani just couldn't help but laugh at him as she saw realization hit him like a hammer arm.

"I'm sorry, it's just. I forget that you don't know much about female anatomy." She laughed.

"Screw the fact that I'm stupid sometimes! What are you saying?! Are you saying you're...?" He trailed off.

"Well, I bought some tests and... well, all four are positive. Guzma... I'm pregnant." She said.


"Alright, Nareus, how would you like to meet Saspra?" Moon asked.

'Yes! I'll show her who is meant to be your strongest!' He said, a fire in his eyes.

Moon rolled her eyes at him. N wasn't even around anymore and she knew what he said. She had already had a conversation with Saspra before this about him. Saspra nodded, seeming to understand and was glad to come along to help. The moment Moon released Saspra, the moment she stopped glowing and materialized in front of the prideful Oshawott, he froze. Moon had expected him to tackle her by now but he was merely staring at her.

"Um... Nareus?" Moon said, surprised.

She was the most beautiful thing Nareus had ever laid eyes on. Saspra giggled and approached, immediately recognizing a young pokemon with a crush when she saw it.

"So... I heard you've been trouble for my trainer." Saspra said, approaching him.

Nareus tried to straighten himself up to talk with her but he couldn't say any discernible words. Gladion laughed.

"What?" Moon asked him.

"I'm pretty sure Nareus likes her. Just look at him." He laughed.

Moon did so and it took her a moment and then she gushed.

"Aww! How cute! Little Nary has a crush!" She squealed.

That snapped him out of his stupor and he then took on a tough pose as both a means to intimidate and impress. What was he doing?! Now wasn't the time for staring! It was a time to show Moon who the real number one partner is! Saspra merely giggled at his attempted show of bravado.

'Moon only needs me! I'm plenty strong enough to fight!' He boasted.

Saspra immediately stopped smiling and thought 'Oh god! He's one of those!' She rolled her eyes at him and looked back at Moon briefly.

"Can you talk to him or something?" She asked.

Saspra shrugged as if to say 'I'll try.' She turns back to the Oshawott, already having a feeling that he was going to need some rather forceful disciplinary measures. But, never one to forego a fight in favor of finding a peaceful resolve, she decided to try talking to him.

'Young one, you're being arrogant. What makes you think you can fight for Moon by yourself? Because of winning your first few battles? I'll have you know that for a young one like you, she wouldn't just pit you up against a strong pokemon immediately. She knew when to pick her battles and while yes, there were times it seemed bleak even for me, we would always come through. But that's just it: we did it. Together. It's not just about you, little one. It's about Moon and us, the team. We all depend on each other. If one of us goes down, we need to know that the others in the team are strong enough to put up a good fight. If you keep thinking you're only strong enough or stronger than anything else, you will not notice your own weaknesses.' She said.

'I'm not weak!' Nareus said, trying to hit her with a water gun.

Saspra allowed it to directly hit her without even flinching or blinking. She sighed. This kid wasn't ever going to learn things the easy way it seemed.

'I suppose you think that was supposed to hurt?' She asked, frowning.

'That... that was just a warm up! I was going easy on you because you're pretty!' he said.

'I am more than just my looks. Are you going to have to learn things the hard way?' Saspra asked, annoyed.

'I don't need to learn anything!' He roared, drawing his scalchop and running at her, trying to strike.

She swatted his scalchop away with her tail and he blinked in surprise before running after his scalchop. He kept running back to her, trying to attack only for her to easily dodge or withstand his attacks like nothing. She wasn't even remotely exhausted with 'fighting' him but she would try and try again to talk with him only for him to either not listen or say something completely dumb or arrogant. The more she tried to reason with him, the more frustrated she got. Never had she ever dealt with a young pokemon as bratty and entitled as this one and she finally had enough after nearly an hour of shoving him off of her and trying to talk only for him to keep trying to fight. There was only one way she could see dealing with this brat; swift and very harsh punishment.

'I'm giving you one final warning. Stop what you're doing and listen to me or else I will put you in your place. I am the pack mother of our family and I cannot let a small fry like you to keep thinking the way you are. Because that kind of thinking makes you detrimental to our team and family. I cannot allow that. You either learn or I won't allow you near any of them nor will they be allowed to associate with you.' She growled.

Moon knew when Saspra was getting angry which she rarely did but she was such a nice and gentle pokemon that the moment she got angry, it was the most unforgettable and terrifying sight ever. Even in her most intense battles, she rarely lost her temper. But when she did, it's always because a pokemon like Nareus pushed her. So when Nareus decided to try using tackle instead of listen, she didn't show any more mercy. When he leapt into the air, she knocked him into the water with her tail and dove after him, fully enraged. Nareus rubbed his head; that hit hurt a little more than the others. When he looked up to see where she was, all he saw was a blur of white before finding himself being dragged deep down into the water. He squirmed in Saspra's grasp but she held firm in a near suffocating grip. She then shot back up to the surface, rocketing up, throwing Nareus into the air and then watched as he started falling from high up in the sky. At that height, hitting the water was going to hurt. Deciding that hitting the water wasn't unedifying enough, Saspra hit him with a hydropump that shot him back to the shore. Moon was about to go help him but Saspra wasn't done and shot out of the water, sliding past Moon, and she was on top of Nareus, her flipper pinning him down.

'Do not test me again, pup! You will lose! From here on out, you either listen to me or I will do so much worse!' She snarled.

Nareus had never been so terrified in his life nor had he ever felt so hurt... and weak. The edges of his vision had black spots.

"Stop, Saspra! I think you did enough." Moon said.

Nareus passed out. Moon picked him up and she looked at Saspra in disappointment.

"Saspra, you're supposed to teach him how to be nice, not how to fear you." She said.

Saspra let out a frustrated huff. She had to admit that was probably a bit much even for her. It likely would have taken less effort to knock him down some pegs... but she had no patience for arrogant brats like Nareus.

"Moon, some pokemon will sort each other out by fighting. Saspra tried talking to him and he didn't listen and so she did what came naturally to her: fight. The only person he feels any gratification from is you. You need to be more firm with him. I know he's so cute and you don't want to hurt his feelings but sometimes you have to hurt some feelings for anyone to learn. If you keep coddling him like you have this past week, he'll think he can get away with anything without any repercussions. If he doesn't learn it from you, then he will learn it from others and that might hurt him more." Gladion said.

By nightfall, Nareus woke up, Gladion and Moon roasting hotdogs over the fire while Saspra resting across from the fire, telling stories to the other pokemon. She had Snivy and Purrloin snuggled up against her while Silvally was stretched out next to Moon with his head on her lap. Gladion's Silvally loved to cuddle up to Moon sometimes and after seeing Nareus get put in his place, he took the liberty of cuddling her tonight instead... especially since she was still upset and seemed to need someone to comfort her. Moon was dissapointed that Saspra had to be so rough with Nareus and so wasn't wanting to hangout so closely with her for tonight but she was also upset with Nareus and the fact that it seemed like she tried everything... except being more harsh with him. Which just made her feel worse because she knew Gladion was right: if she just kept treating him like a cute little baby, he'll never learn anything. But she hated it when she had to get harsh with any of her pokemon. N was also there and he was happily chatting with Gladion about rescuing pokemon. He was the one who brought them hotdogs. He wanted to check in on how things with Nareus were going.

Nareus stood up and normally would have immediately tried to fight Silvally for cuddling up to his trainer but he felt too sore. Why weren't they at a pokemon center instead? He never had any aches and pains this bad before. Moon wordlessly gestured at a bowl of pokemon chow next to her with a few berries on the side. He grimaced; Moon normally shared her own food with him. He would have normally kicked it over but he was so sore that he just didn't feel like arguing. He was about to eat the berries first but Moon stopped him.

"Those are dessert. Kibble first, and then berries. I know you: you would rather starve than try to eat kibble but I need you to eat it tonight. You won't get strong enough if you don't." She said.

He felt hurt. Why was she suddenly being so mean? No treats? Not even a hotdog for him? Did she hate him now?

"Maybe it's the wrong flavor?" N suggested, trying to diffuse the situation.

"He's never eaten any before." Moon and Gladion both said.

"Why's that?" N asked.

"He's used to sharing with Moon." Gladion teased.

"That stops tonight." She said, firmly while looking at Nareus.

"Human food isn't nutritious enough for most pokemon anyway. Sounds to me like you spoiled him too much." N said.

Moon flinched and N sighed, getting up and walking around the fire to Nareus. He had a feeling he knew why the pokemon looked sad now and why Moon looked pitiful as well. He knelt down in front of Nareus and picked up a piece of kibble.

"She's not doing this because she hates you. She's doing this because she realizes she's been raising you wrong. So from here on out, she's going to be raising you properly. I know you feel like you're so unloved right now but I promise that isn't the case. Also, these aren't that bad." N said, eating one.

Moon gave him a weird look.

"What? You do know that the people who make these have to taste test them, right? People can eat them, too. I wouldn't recommend eating them all the time because they are meant for pokemon after all." He said.

'I want what Moon is eating!' He whined.

N relayed it and Moon shook her head. Saspra watched quietly to see if Moon will follow through with what she and Gladion talked about: to stop treating Nareus like a baby and start treating him like the rest of her team.

"My food is my food from here on out. I don't share it with my team nearly as much as I shared with you and I was wrong for doing that. This food is yours and this is what the rest of the team eats." She said.

'I'll gladly eat it for you.' Sashay the purrloin said in a mocking tone.

Nareus glared at her. Moon picked up and ate a piece of the kibble. She was surprised to notice that it tasted... pretty good. It was like a type of cookie but a little drier.

"There. Now you're having what I'm eating. So eat or no dessert." She said, taking the berries out of the bowl and setting them on a napkin against her.

Nareus just stared at the kibble in a mix of hurt and confusion. This had to be the worst day ever to him. Moon then picked up another piece of kibble and ate it, a mix of hoping he'll eat and also... she really did kind of like it.

"This stuff really is kind of good actually." She admitted.

Gladion snorted and N nodded approvingly. He himself also sometimes snuck a few from his pokemon. Nareus huffed and ate a piece... it really wasn't as good as human food... well, it wasn't bad... it was palatable... He didn't want to admit to himself that he liked it but his stomach growled so much and he suddenly realized how ravenous he was. He ate the rest furiously and without much complaint, deciding he hated being hungry more than the idea of 'eating like the rest of the team'. Saspra looked on approvingly.

'Maybe there's hope for this kid yet.' She said to Sashay and Snivy to which both of them giggled.

He glared at them but Moon let him have his berries which stopped him from trying to pick another fight.

'If I'm supposed to be part of a team, you're not making me feel like part of it.' He remarked.

'Now you want to be part of the team? I thought you said you were just fine on your own.' Saspra said.

He glared at her. She rolled her eyes at him.

'You haven't exactly been acting like you want any part of the team so of course we're not going to exactly treat you like a teammate when you haven't been treating us like your team, either. You get what you give and you haven't been giving us any respect. So why should we give you any?' She asked.

'Because...' He trailed off.

'Why? BeCaUsE yoU aRE tHe sTronGesT?' Saspra asked mockingly to which Sashay and Snivy laughed.

Moon made a move to stop them but N shook his head. For the moment, it was a discussion that needed to happen.

"Let them talk it out." N whispered to her.

Moon nodded.

'Because I'm lonely! And Moon made me feel less alone until tonight! Now I'm afraid she'll just leave me. Do you know how many trainers refused taking me because I 'wasn't as cool as snivy' or 'wasn't as tough looking as tepig?' Some even had the nerve to say I was ugly or funny looking! I'm sorry, okay? I was just afraid because anyone else that got close to her made me feel like I didn't matter as much! I don't want to feel that way!' He snapped.

N, Sashay, and Snivy were taken off guard. His reason made them feel more sympathetic but Saspra held firm. Now wasn't the time for sympathy, now was a time for him to learn while he was open to it.

'That explains your behavior but that isn't any excuse to treat the rest of us like we shouldn't matter, too. It's not just about you, Nareus. It was never just about how much attention she gave us individually. Listen, I'm glad you finally apologized but we have a right to hold you accountable just like Moon finally is right now. Sorry isn't just going to be enough, you have to prove yourself and earn forgiveness. And don't be ridiculous! Moon isn't going to leave you or let you be alone just because you messed up or because you lost or because she is showing a little more attention to someone else. She's a wonderful trainer! I remember when I got so sick, she ran through a harsh storm just to take me to a pokemon center. She and I dove through a strong current just to rescue Snowy when she was a little baby vulpix that fell into the ocean on accident. She has guided us through many battles, most of them we won and if we lost, we learned and she would work with us until we came back stronger. I owe her everything. She is the reason I am who I am today. And if you let go of your own insecurities and maybe gave everyone a chance to at least work with you, perhaps you'll become stronger yourself. You don't even have to like everyone in the team. You just need to show everyone some basic respect and that you're willing to work with them.' Saspra said.

'But I want her attention.' He said.

'If you want so badly to have someone's attention all to yourself, you may as well just become a pet. Is that what you want? Because Moon will find someone to give you that kind of attention. She won't force you to just be part of the team. But she won't keep a pokemon that hogs the attention from the rest of us.' She said.

'I want Moon! And I'm not a pet!' He said.

'Then stop acting like you just want to be a pet. Because Moon isn't going to exclusively give her attention to you because she wants to be a pokemon trainer which means she wants to battle with many different pokemon. That's a lot of time she needs to spend with other pokemon. Sometimes she'll have someone else take care of us for a few weeks while she trains other pokemon. You either respect her choice and lifestyle or you accept that this isn't going to work and agree to being re-homed to be with someone who will give you the attention you want.' Saspra said.

He was lost in thought for a moment. Saspra huffed, hoping that her words were going in this time.

'Hey, none of us will think poorly of you for wanting to go with someone that will give you more attention. But we will think poorly of you if you keep treating us and Moon like we should change our lifestyles just for you. That's the most selfish thing you could do and if you continue to try hogging her attention after this and mistreating the rest of the team, then maybe it's not because of your looks that other trainers didn't want you; it's because of your personality. Because no trainer wants a pokemon like that.' Saspra said.

Nareus flinched and looked down in shame... he always did try a little too hard to show off to the other trainers. Some of them, he got too clingy with and other times, he got into fights with the other starters. It was just that at first, he only heard the comments about his appearance, never did he actually pay attention to what they said to him after he started to get... clingier and more possessive. Moon just saw him on a day he wasn't trying to fight the other starters and just wanted to hug legs which hers happened to be the first leg he grabbed. Moon thought he was perfect right away but most other trainers would have petted him but then look at the other starters which would be when he'd start to fight for their attention. He slowly ate the rest of his berries while Moon and Gladion looked at N expectantly.

"I think he actually listened to her this time. Give him some time to sort himself out. If he chooses to be a proper part of your team, he'll come around. If not, I'll help you find him a new home that'll spoil him. An oshawott is popular enough to where I know someone will take him fast." N said.

"...Okay." Moon said glumly.

Then Moon's cell phone rang. She picked it up.

"Hello?" she said.

"Hey kid! How's it goin'?" Guzma asked.

"Still trying to work with Nary. I think he might have learned something this time though." She said.

"Yeesh! That brat still hadn't calmed down yet?" He asked.

"Right now he is but that might be because Saspra throttled him earlier and she's normally very nice when dealing with young pokemon." Moon said.

"Ouch! That'll teach em'!" Guzma laughed.

"Yeah, she roughed him up quite a bit. I think it was a little much even for her." Moon said.

"He probably had it coming. Doesn't your primarina usually try not to beat anyone up outside of battles?" He asked.

"Well... no, it really isn't like her to do that. I'm just so shocked though. Nary is still very young." Moon said.

"I ain't surprised that even a sweetheart like Saspra lost patience with a brat like him. Listen, she's the leader of the rest of your team next to you. You two have been partners for a long time. I'm sure what she did was probably the best thing she could think of... and, for real, he probably needed to get whooped." Guzma said.

"...Yeah ...he really did." She finally admitted.

"Hopefully that means he's been taught some manners. I think you should keep Saspra around in case he needs to learn a few more." Guzma said.

"I plan to. So why are you calling me? I'm used to you checking on me with a text." She said.

"Could you meet me somewhere tomorrow? I need to talk to you about something important." He said.

"Did something bad happen?" Moon asked.

"No. No. Everything is alright. I just need to tell you something. I'll buy you kids some lunch, too." He said.


That's it for this chapter. Sorry for the lack of updates. I was having terrible writers block for the longest time.
