It's a short walk from Leaf's house to Red's, but she tries to make it last as long as possible. She really has been out of the loop lately, and now she's paying for it. Jeez... things would be so much easier if she didn't keep herself so busy. It's summer...! Maybe she ought to lighten her load a bit, at least for now. She'd still be too late to spend a lot of time with Red and Fire, but there were plenty of others around. Green and Crys and Sapphire... she wasn't too late for them, and she'd make sure she wouldn't be!
Even though she'd tried to linger she arrives on Red's doorstep within a minute or two, but already she's feeling considerably lighter. She's made a plan and she's sticking to it! It shouldn't be hard, especially now the she knows she won't have to battle Green... whoops. Well, that was his thing to worry about, not hers! Er, sort of.
Anyway, that wasn't important. What was important was getting to spend a little time with Red before he set off for that stupid mountain again. What the two of them liked about that hunk of rock so much she didn't know, but she really despised it sometimes. Still, if it made them happy... she sighs. Gotta snap out of it! She knocks on the door quickly, but let's face it: the Pallet Town kids are all close enough that they tend to feel right at home in each other's homes, and so Leaf lets herself in.
"Hello? Red? Reee~eeeeed!"
