Description
I was in the forest when I heard it: a song. It was a soft, somber, wordless celestial soliloquy that wove its way through my whole body, lifting me up with its sweet notes, beckoning me onward, which I did slowly as if in a trance, not once thinking about what I would do when I found the source of the sound– all I knew was that I must find it.

The source, as it turned out, was a beautiful Leafeon. The leaves that were her ears and tail looked like green velvet. I wanted to touch them. Her back was turned to me when I first spotted her, but she seemed to sense my presence as soon as I entered the glade where she was sitting. After a moment or two, her melody ceased and she turned to face me, her chocolate-colored eyes sparkling with curiosity.

She opened her mouth to inquire what I wanted, but she then closed it without so much as a word. The only noise was the rustling of the leaves beneath her feet.
After a moment of somewhat awkward silence, I decided to come out from the trees. I introduced myself and I told her how I had come to find her, and how much I enjoyed her song. I asked her if she might sing for me some more, and if I could sit and listen. She blushed a little at my compliment, and she nodded shyly yet enthusiastically before beginning her song again.

I don't remember how long I listened; it was probably at least an hour, but it felt like a lifetime. And I loved every second of it. She looked so happy when she sang, and her voice sounded like fine silk borne from pure gold.

When she finally stopped, I asked her if she would honor me with her name. At this, much to my chagrin, her friendly smile and soft blush was instantly replaced with a sad frown. Her eyes glistened and she shook her head that no, she could not give me her name. It didn't take a genius to figure out that although she could make some noises and– as I witnessed– sing, she was completely unable to speak.

I sat by her side and told her that if she could not tell me her name, I would have to come up with one on my own. She giggled softly and nodded, blinking her tears away. I thought for but a moment before deciding on a name, and when I spoke it, she beamed, pushing her forehead playfully, gratefully, against my own. I couldn't help but blush at the contact, and as I looked into her eyes, I saw that she had as well.

"Aria..."

Not bad so far, right? I'm trying really hard to make a short little interlude between my ADLB comic that will kind of explain why Ace.... well... doesn't like bugs. I'm not sure how many parts there will be altogether in this flashback, but probably no more than three. Hope you enjoy, and please critique if you see something you think should be fixed!
