“I’m very disappointed in you.” Lance says, as Red fidgets. He knows that it was foolish of him to try and defeat Team Rocket all by himself, but he had to try… and besides, they stole his Pikachu!

“Well? Do you have anything to say for yourself?” She puts her hands on her hips, fixing him with a glare.

Red sighs. “Can’t you just read my mind?”

“I could, but I’d rather you say it.” The Dragon Master stated.

“But that’s harder!” He protests. She’s not being fair!

“That is the point.” Lance says dryly. * Well? *

He takes a deep breath to fortify him self for the ordeal. Red doesn’t want to do it, but he knows he should.

“I’m sorry that I stole your Dragonite and went to fight Team Rocket alone. I know it was irrational of me, but they had stolen Pikachu and…!” He breaks off, becoming emotional. Does he really have to spell it out?

Why is she making such a big deal out of this?

Part of him, though, knows that he’s an adult and shouldn’t act childish, especially in serious situations like these, so he sighs and keeps going.

She waits expectantly for his next words.

“But it was still foolish.” Red concedes. “I’m sorry.”

“That’s all I needed to know.” She says, and turns to leave. He snags his wife’s wrist, and as Lance turns around, rises up on tiptoes to kiss her.

She frowns. “Sexing me won’t get you out of punishment, Red. In fact… perhaps a week of abstinence will teach you some restraint.”

* What? * He gulps. That punishment doesn’t seem proportional to the crime at all! But, he supposes he deserves it…

I would think a week was rather mild, considering how important Dragonite is…
