"Hey, Swift, are you ok?"
Swift blinked and turned to face the owner of the voice.
"Huh? Oh yes, yes I'm fine, Dawn.” Swift said, giving a reassuring smile to the Scorbunny.
Dawnmist blinked and tilted her fluffy head to the side, her beautiful red-brown eyes glittering.
"Okay. If you say so..." she says with a frown and a twitch of her ears
"Hey you two, what's going on?"
Dawnmist and Swift both turned their attention toward the owner of the voice.
"Oh, hi, Aura!" Swift called out, smiling and waving to the aura Pokémon. "What's up?"
Aura smiled and opened one of her eyes and stared straight at Swift with a knowing look in her eyes.
Swift sighed softly and crossed her arms over her chest while staring at the emanation Pokémon with a raised eyebrow.
"What?" she asked, "why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
"What's going on here?" the three Pokémon blinked and for like the third timed turned to face the speaker of the voice.
"Hiya Inferno!" Dawnmist waved her best friend over with a paw and a wide smile on her face.
Inferno smiled and purred in response to her friends warm embrace. "Anyways... what are you three doing?"
Swift and Dawnmisst smiled and glanced at each other with a knowing look on each of their faces.
"Oh, nothing much, Inferno.” Swift told the Litten with a flick of her hand-shaped tail.
"Hey, Swift!" Swift sighed softly and turned around to see Lightning patting over to her with a warm smile on his face.
"Yes, Lightning? What is it?"
Lightning smiled and flicked is thunderbolt-shaped tail to the trees. Swift got the hint and the two headed deeper into the forest to talk without being overheard.
