...I thought so. I'm not... sure about that, Momo. I mean, she went and made sure everyone would know exactly who we all were. Sounds like she's working for them to me.

[Just kind of numb about it now, don't mind her.]

But I bred something for you, too. A Zubat to add to your empire... I can send it to you over the PC, right? I'll be in Olivine, but not for too long.

That comes off more like concern than anything else. I don't know, she comes across really caring and scary. I don't think she'd really try to make you guys targets...

[ She frowns. ]

Hmm! Well, yeah, you can! I'll be sure to add him right into my delivery! Or is it a girl?

I don't know, Momo... I'll try talking to her, maybe. Either way, she did. And now we have to deal with the consequences of that.

I don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet, it hasn't hatched. Give me a minute...

[Whoops, 'gear's rolling around a little as she moves over to the PC and starts fiddling with it, finally figuring out how to transfer a certain Zubat to Momo's PC.]

There you go. Should only be about another two or three days until it hatches, then you'll be able to tell me.

I'm sure you're tough enough to fend off any and all rockets that come to you! Especially with my info helping you!

Hmmm okay! I'll hatch it later! [ Momo's actually really excited for this. She'll start walking to the pokécenter now. ]

I definitely will try to tell you!

Heh... we'll try. Sasuke and me, anyway.

[Not... even counting Obito in with that. She still doesn't like him ok.]

Okay. And you don't forget to be careful too, okay...?

If you need support, let me know! You're worth betraying my organization for! [ She nervously brushes the back of her head. ] I can use the bat army to swarm them!

[ She's a little batty. ]

I know! I will! [ After that outburst...? Tenten should not be so sure... ]

No, Momo, please be careful. I mean, if you see an opportunity to get out, take it, but not if you might get hurt doing so. Okay?

...Promise?

I don't want to inflict more attention to you guys, because you two would be the first people I go to. I'm going to wait things out, at the very least and try to help you guys out more.

[ No promise. |: Promise: Rejected. ]

[Momo, Tenten's your boss! :|]

We could handle it, if you did want to get out, but... okay. I'll trust you to make the right decision, okay?

[ NOT SLEEPING ON THE JOB... EVER.... ]

Maybe I'll be kicked out one of these days! Who knows? Then I can stay with you guys! [ Haha... wishful thinking... ]

[UH-HUH.]

Well, nice as that would be, I kind of hope you don't do anything to make you a target without planning ahead. You know you're always welcome to travel with us, though, so don't hesitate.

I'll keep that in mind. Thank you, Tenten. [ She pauses, playing with her hair a bit. ] You're my best friend here.

...You're one of mine, too, Momo. [Beyond being name-twins, that Momo's willing to risk her safety to stay in with the Rockets just to help her? That means a lot.]

So don't forget about that travel offer, okay?

I'm glad! I wouldn't put in this effort for someone I wasn't close to. [ beat. ] Actually, I would, but that's another story about how much I dislike evil. { EVVVVIIIIILLL... ]

I won't!

Hang on, you can't say something like that and not tell the story, Momo.

Well, I mean, I'd do a lot of things to fight evil. It all began one day at the academy when we were learning soul burials, but, the amount of souls being buried caused gigantic hollows to appear and attack. They were too deadly and big for us, so our instructor ordered us to flee.

I tried to flee but... [ Her voice trails off and she looks a bit uncomfortable. ] I just couldn't let someone die there helplessly. So I turned back to help him, and then my friends turned back to help me and we were able to save him once before we were attacked again. It looked like it was about to be the end when...

[ SUDDENLY SHOUJO. Momo's eyes grow larger than ever. The way they sparkle and shine with her blush is simply magnificent. ] Captain Aizen arrived and took care of every hollow! He saved my life! Ever since then, I'll stand with him! Against evil! [ #theirony ]

...Wow.

[It takes her a second to answer ~~that suddenly shoujo was distracting~~, trying to figure out just how something like that could have happened.]

I guess that shows it, huh? I'm impressed, Momo. Just remember that he's not here yet, so you've got to watch out for yourself, okay?

I know! I'm strong enough on my own! Otherwise Captain Aizen would have never made me his lieutenant. [ Well, technically she's skilled enough to be a lieutenant but she's also a lieutenant because she's naive and can be manipulated into being cuckoo for Aizenpuffs! ]

I believe you. [A firm nod. Some guy Momo thought so highly of couldn't possibly be a bad guy, right?] So I guess you'll just have to use those same skills around here.

[ Even if he stabs her.... he's still the best. ] Yeah. I try to avoid conflict but I'm smart! I'm not very strong but I'm skilled. [ plucky head nod. ]

[Momo no that's not how to win supervisor of the month...]

As long as you know your limits... though you know, my sensei would say that there's no such thing as limits, just hard work and determination.

[ WHAT IF SHE POLISHED THE BOSS'S SHOES... ]

I don't think that's true! I mean, there are limits to how tall you can grow and everything. You don't break those through hard work and determination. [ Beat. ] I've tried.
