Extra 2: Part 15: Heating Up the Hot Springs

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon, Drix, Aura, or the idea for this part. As 
the first extra was base don a dream by Aura, this is based on a dream by 
Drix. You know, why do all of my friends have dreams centering around helping 
Helium in their own odd ways? XD well, anyways, this part was a long time 
coming, and I promise part 16 will be back on plot.

This part is dedicated to Drix for his dreaming skillz

Considering the losses the party had just suffered, it was understandable 
that the party would take a well deserved break. Lucky for them, Fuwaru Town 
was right near an in-game hotsprings resort, being near the mountains. "I 
remember this place," Aura mused, taking in the simplicity and japanese 
styled buildings. "Sparia and I bathed here right after she had just evolved 
from Piplup to Prinplup," Aura smiled, stroking Sparia's blue down. Sparia 
cooed softly as Victoria watched. She looked over at Twilmer and wondered why 
she wasn't being stroked this minute. Her red head feathers were just as 
soft, if not softer then Sparia's. Her furr was also soft, but granted the 
fact that Twilmer barely came up to Victoria's elbows was probably the reason 
why not much affection had been shown, plus she always seemed to be hanging 
out with Helium. Victoria crossed her claws with a 'Wea' of disgust.

"I know the man who works this place. You guys are with an admin, so it 
shouldn't cost us anything," Twilmer jumped off of Helium's shoulder and 
began to strut up to the doors of the resort area.

"Only one problem, Miss Pichu," Drix used Emily23's pet name for Twilmer and 
Emily23 wasn't to thrilled at this matter.

"Don't you start calling me that," Twilmer warned, cheeks sparking, "but 
what's the problem?"

"Miss Pichu, you're a pichu, for crying out loud. I don't think the owner 
will take kindly to a talking Pichu, even if you are someone he knows." Drix 
used his boot to block Twilmer's sudden tackle attack. He managed to hold 
back a giggle at the tiny admin because of a glare from Aura.

"You are so unsenstive, you know that?" Aura scolded, though she didn't look 
very mad. "Come on, I'll pay," Aura offered, which was rare for her, but she 
was feeling unusually genrous after the ordeal they had just survived.

"You'll pay? Why this is something new," Drix smirked, earning a second death 
glare from the legendary double blader.

Aura ignored him as she made her way over to the counter. Twilmer was 
slightly miffed at the situation, but that faded away when they got their 
hotsprings passes and headed to their respective springs. Drix and Helium as 
well as Max entered the male's side while Gloom basked in the sunlight on dry 
land. Divided but rocks high enough so that they couldn't be seen, the girls 
entered their side. Sparia was rather weary at entering the hot waters, but 
once she was in, she relaxed considerably. Victoria, unfortunately, had to 
sit this one out as she was an ice type and the warm water didn't agree with 
her. She scowled, sitting in the shade and cursing in pokemon laguage under 
her breath. Bunneary looked cautious as well with the water as once she was 
wet, it was so hard to dry the ruffled fur that covered the lower part of her 
body and tips of her ears.

Twilmer hung onto Aura's shoulder as her little body wasn't exactly built to 
swim. Aura didn't mind to much. Emily23 kept swimming around in circles, 
which annoyed Aura.

"Hey, Drix," Helium said softly to the top ten member and feirce swordsman. 
He said it quietly and a slight blush appeared on his boyish face.

"Oh god, please don't tell me you're gay," Drix rolled his eyes.

"What! No! Of course I'm not!" Helium's blush deepened.

"Keep it down over there or I'll make you keep it down!" Came Aura's 
disgruntled voice over the wall.

"Best not to disturb her highness," Drix smirked and waded over to sit beside 
Helium. "What's eating you?" Drix asked.

"Well, can you keep a secret?" Helium asked sincerly.

"Well," Drix could've gone with the truth which was 'depends on how juicy it 
is' but he decided to omit that tidbit of inofrmtaion and see where this 
went, "of course."

"You see, I really like Twilmer," was as far as Helium got before Drix fell 
over. He stood up, trying to hold back laughter. This gay wannabe was in love 
with the fluffy, Pichu admin? That was rich.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I wasn't expecting that," Drix apologized, holding 
back more laughter. Helium seemed to not mind, which irritated Drix. It was 
as if this kid could never get angry. Drix walked back over to Helium and sat 
down beside him, taking a few deep breaths. "So, you like the admin?"

"Yeah, and I talked to Aura about this, but she was more concerned with 
giving me a lesson on how to kiss her if the time should ever arise," Helium 
explained.

This made Drix raise his eyebrow. A kissing lesson? "Did she kiss you?" Drix 
asked, showing mild interest.

"No," Helium answered, looking at Drix weirdly. Drix merely shrugged. "I'm 
sure you've liked girls before, how did you tell them?"

"You've had a girlfriend before, right?" Drix asked, looking down at Helium, 
who was really skinny for a boy his age, though he was slightly toned, 
however Drix's character had more muscles then three Heliums combined.

"Yeah, but she asked me out, and we only went out three times before she got 
bored with me," Helium sighed, slipping down into the hot water so that 
everything below his nose was submersed in the warm water.

"Oh," Drix puzzled over this for a bit, enjoying the feeling of his aches 
washing away. "Well, I vaguely know the admin. I've heard about her and I 
know about her from what Aura had mailed me, but based on what I've seen so 
far, she seems like the stuck up type. Then again, she also seems to have her 
head stuck up her a* and seems to hero-worship PWO's head honchos and his 
group of seven. Though, if what Aura assumes is true, then it's all a front."

"So what do I do?" Helium asked.

His questions were really getting on Drix's last nerves. "Just tell her. If 
you like her, then the way will come to you. H*, the ideal PWO-related way to 
ask someone out for me is a fight and a kiss afterwards. Only you know your 
mojo." Drix looked up, watching his Salamance fly through the sky. A smile 
played on his lips as he watched the majestic being flip and turn.

"When should I tell her?" Helium asked, standing up. Drix had had it up to 
here with Helium. Suddenly an evil idea crossed his mind.

"How about, right now?" Drix asked with an evil grin.

"Huh?" Helium began to say, but was shocked as Drix picked him up and hurled 
him over the rocks into the girls section of the hotspring. Girlish screams 
and a high-pitched 'Pichu' were heard.

"You pervert!" Aura shouted, grabbing her katanas from the edge of the 
hotspring and began to chase the poor boy around the spring, not taking 
notice to if her towel stayed on or not. Emily23 tried to hide behind her 
Bunneary, who was blushing and covering her eyes with her ears. Twilmer just 
looked plain ticked off, with a hint of amusement. A shock from her stopped 
everyone in their tracks, but also shocked the two girls as well. "Drix," 
Aura hissed, "this is your fault!" she shouted. His laughter ringing from 
over the rocks was her answer. "D* you to H*" Aura shouted, PWO's censor 
having a heyday on her.

Twilmer climbed up over the rocks to see Aura chasing Drix, who was laughing 
to hard to dodge a direct blow from her katanas. "Do that again and I'll make 
sure they peirce your heart," Aura warned with a hiss.

"And this is why we don't go anywhere nice together," Twilmer sighed.
