Chapter 1

Miss Me, Miss Me, Now You Gotta Kiss Me!

Grovyle and I had been together since who-knows-when. Maybe a cousin or someone gave him to me. I don't really know. But we were each-other's buddies. We would constantly go into the nearby forest and play explorers. But we were lacking something.

That something would be a decent life.

Yeah, time was frozen. That's why we decided from an early age that we would do something about it. Aided by my special ability, the Dimensional Scream (how I discovered this power is another story), We ran away from home and began our research.

I looked down at Grovyle. He looked back at me and smiled. We had finally found the last location of the ancient Time Gears- a vital part in restoring time. Now, we were standing in front of the Portal of Time. Celebi was hovering near-by. Oh yeah- Celebi was helping us. We had to get to the past to save time, and Celebi was pretty much the only one who could help us.

"Ready buddy?" I asked.

"Gro-o," he said. Even though I couldn't understand his exact words, I knew what he meant- "Let's go,"

I breathed, clutched my bag closer to my chest, and jumped into the dimensional hole. I saw Grovyle jump in right after me. But something else caught my attention.

"No, no, no!" I shouted. "Grovyle! Move!"

The Shadow-Ball whizzed by, and Darkrai lost his chance at us. I heard his enraged cry, but it was far, far away.

Fightning the dizziness, I looked over at Grovyle. His eyes seemed to say "Good save- That was too close though,"

Grovyle was starting to drift farther away. I wondered if that would affect where we would end up after our trip.

The swirling dimensions started to tug at me, making me feel faint. "No wonder Pinkie said that she hated time-traveling," I mumbled to myself. I let my eyes drift shut.

I breathed in. I breathed out. And I knew no more.

But hey! Darkrai missed us- so that means we're safe!

(But changing one small thing can have dastardly consequences… I realize that this chapter was really short, but I'm trying to get them longer. But seriously. Changing a 'minor' detail can really mess stuff up.)
