No way. I want to learn to cook, so let me help.

[ANDY IS MORE EXCITED NOW SHE GETS TO SEE CUTE KITCHEN SHENANIGANS

"I'll set everything out. Get dressed and let's get to pancake making!" whoosh oh boy cute kitchen shenanigans she's so excited oh my god]

Man, she's quick. Fine, I'll teach you how to cook the same way my mom taught me: You watch me and i'll let you do the second batch. You gotta eat what you make though, alright?

But I want to eat what you make. [Here he'll help Gold get dressed and everything]

You're not gonna learn unless you eat your potential mistakes. You can some of mine if yours turn out crappy, yeah, but you gotta reap what you sow too. [ty boyfriend kiss kiss]

...You'll try some of mine too, right? [That will make him feel a little less bad about his cooking...]

Of course! I'm your master right now, I gotta taste what my student cooks up. [don't worry he won't lie to you either but it's gon be fine cause GOLD is his teacher

he is so confident in himself okay]

[!!] Okay. [Alright you're all good and dressed now it's his turn]

[yes let him dress you] What'd you mean when you said that she was like you, by the way?

[he just remembered okay]

Ask her, not me. [Yes thank you

okay let's go back to Andy]

[HE FAINTLY REMEMBERS YOU SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT TELLING HIM WHAT YOU TALKED ABOUT WITH HER IN THE MORNING

you lazy information broker

andy is leaning against the counter all cool and tapping her foot, and she grins when she sees them

"Took you two long enough!" they weren't slow-- "Can you make them from scratch? I've never had them from scratch before. That sounds weird, doesn't it?"]

Duh I'm makin' them from scratch. There ain't any other way to make them! [now how did mom make them...]

[He is eager to learn the secret of pancake making

yes good]

Hey Andy, can you tell him how you're like me while we cook?

[He wants her to say it so she doesn't step out of her comfort zone okay]

[oh

she turns away from them and taps her nails against the counter. "Right, I need to tell him too... I didn't even think about that. Long, long story short, my mom and I used to be in the biz with the Rockets over in Celadon and now we're living a clean life and I'm the heiress of the hotel and a pretty penny."

sorry did you want her life story while you were cooking her food??? no she doesn't want to feel sad without her abra by her okay]

So you wanna join in with us 'cause you think you and Silver are alike? [snort ok silver let him teach you how to make a proper batter and everything] Fine by me. I mean, me and Crys and him are good and all, but I ain't gonna turn away someone who wants to help out. Especially if we get to use this place as a base. One condition though.

["What?"]

You ain't allowed in unless we call for you.

He's got a point. Rockets are dangerous business, and we still don't know you that well.

[Just let Raab out

actually we should probably let the Pokémon out to eat, Gold

are you gonna make enough for them too]

[do you think we have the ingredients for that, silver?

of course they are

get to letting them out the big guys can be on the roof area

... andy'll let out raab too and hold him

"What, do you want my birth date and blood type? I just want to help."]

Yeah, but why? Ain't none of your business. I got a bone to pick 'cause I'm the one who stopped this loser's plan with Crys, and the big wigs are his family. So what if your family used to be in the business with them?

[she tightens her grip on the half-awake abra and speaks very firmly, though quietly. "I want to make sure what family I have left in Kanto are safe. I can't do that if there's scattered activity in Johto, because then it's a threat to me and my mom. My goal is to get my poppa and my younger sister here."]

[...] I believe you, but cleaning out Johto isn't gonna help them get out. It's just going to put more pressure on everyone in Kanto.

["If you cause enough of a ruckus here, I might be able to get them out. I'll give you whatever you need - money, a place to stay, information - but I just want the chance to get them over here."

she's not begging, but there is a plea in her words and gold glances at silver. whisper whisper time]

She's seriously thinkin' of a single shot at gettin' them to safety? I mean, if they're in Celadon, the only way they'd get here fast is on that train in Saffron. And that's pretty tricky.

[...He mulls it over, then gently pushes Gold aside and walks over to Andy.]

Give me their names and pictures of both of them. [That's an order. His tone makes that very clear.]

[what is he

oh no, no no]

You ain't seriously thinkin' of it, are you? [siilverrrr

"Alex is my dad and my younger sister is Rosie. I mean, Rosario. We call her Rosie. I don't have pictures of what they might look like right now, but..." raab teleports away and returns with a family photo. andy looks significantly younger and it's obvious this was taken when she was still in kanto running things with her mom. there's her mom, her dad, her in the middle, the shorter one must be her younger sister, and the other is her older sister... "Here--"]

You're a bleedin' heart, Silver!

It would be okay to do something right away if it was your mom, right Gold?

[You shut your mouth boyfriend

shoosh]

Don't worry about it. I'm not gonna do anything crazy. [And with that he is going to go let the big Pokémon out outside

and by "the big Pokémon" he means Boobro rn

psst hey Boobro]

[wow so much for making pancakes also you shut your mouth there is a difference between his mom and andy's family and it's that his mom is in johto

sneasel will you go spy on silver for gold please and thank you

andy it is really dangerous if silver goes into kanto because people are Looking For Him probably to kill him or worse and sure gold trusts silver he trusts him a lot but he still doesn't want him to get hurt you know?? doesn't wanna lose him it ain't your fault he's a bleeding heart and all but you have baaad timing when it comes to asking for things--

oh you weren't asking him to do anything right. you were gonna do it yourself. good on you

meanwhile boobro is sourpuss central he is crossing his arms and the very feeling of what do you want is radiating off his frowny face]

[Hi Sneasel what's up

don't give me that fussy look we'll be fine okay

wonder what they're saying in there]

I need you to make them sleep, okay?

[trickery and deceit? my my silver you have come to the right man

of course he'll put your boyfriend and new possible comrade to sleep it's not like they have feelings on this matter

oh, no, they're just people you can use to make you feel better about yourself by helping them out without a single thought of maybe they would like to do it themselves or help or anything like that of course he'll do as you so graciously ask

he just nods he's not gonna tell his thoughts to silver he got hit by that damn sneasel last time for it]

[Good because he doesn't need your sass or opinion right now

...Alright alright fine]

What, you have a better idea? Or maybe you just can't trust my judgement at all ever. That must be it.

[oh, no, he'll do as he's asked, because like you'd listen anyway with how he's been acting

with a wary glance at sneasel

hopping inside to put them to sleep do do dooooo

or maybe he'd like to wait until after breakfast?]

[Dude he's asking for your opinion just don't be an ass about it-]

...Forget it. Here. [Just. Just go hang out with Dusty and the other ghosts. There. Letting all the Pokémon out like a good Silver, yep...]

I bet I'm not even good enough to pull off something like that anyway. [He is setting Sneasel down and heading inside on his own now okay]
