Part 1-3: That’s What Sisters Do

Every member of the Hoshizora tribe, as well as Amy and Ryoshi, had settled into the rooms in the innermost chambers of the castle at this point, when the Jigglypuff was finally able to sit down and ask Lady Zeena about all the circumstances that brought them here to Aether.

"Dragons??"

"Yes. Dragons." Zeena nodded.

The whole group had been split up into several of the castle's innermost stone chambers, with the majority of Amy's immediate family comprising the ones in the room that Amy and Ryoshi were in. While many of the members were getting used to the concept of "stone-hard ground", they found that they could simply lay their teepees flat and use those as makeshift beds in addition to their real sleeping bags.

"You see, while it was fairly recent that we started experiencing these symptoms—" She coughed, as if needing to prove the point. "—Dragon-type Pokémon started becoming unusually aggressive against us. Normally, they would attack only if we wandered into their territory, if they felt threatened, but lately, they have been going out of their way to attack us, even if we did not do anything."

"I know what you mean! It's been soooooooo frustrating," said Jukeen, a familiar Wigglytuff wearing a gold circlet around her head. "But I'm really happy to see you again, Pai—er, I mean, Amy~."

Amy smiled as her mom hugged her. "Thanks, Mom." For a second, she was tempted to tell her that her dad was here too, but then remembered what her dad said about trying to escape the tribe...maybe it wouldn't be such a good idea...but then again, it would be important to let him know either way, right

Before long, Jukeen broke from the hug and pulled a little Cleffa who was hiding behind her. "Oh, and don't forget precious little Mokuba! Look at how BIG he's gotten~."

"Aaaah, no! Mom! Let me go...!" The little Cleffa squirmed in his mother's hold, causing Amy to laugh. It was a wonder he didn't seem to be affected by the disease too badly...

In this way, Amy was so distracted that she didn't notice that at the same time, her older sisters had already surrounded Ryoshi, squealing and giggling, apparently masking their sick conditions very well.

"Oh my gosh, you are SO handsome~. How did Paikea get someone like you to like her, huh? Because I'm SO much more fashionable~." The oldest Jigglypuff Kovo flashed her eyelashes at him.

"Pfft, who needs fashion when you've got EPIC SCYTHE SKILLS?" The other Jigglypuff, Maka, slapped her sister in the back and brandished her handmade scythe. "Check THIS sucker out! I've defeated exactly 99 enemies with it already~. I've counted~. You can't say you're not impressed by that!"

"Ryoshi..." The youngest, but still older than Amy by two years, was a Clefairy named Peluna. "...What if I told you that in the future, the entire tribe gets a name change from Hoshizora to something very close to my name? That in fact, it IS based off of my name...?" She stared at him in a very probing, mysterious way.

"I, uh..." Ryoshi squirmed a bit at the unwanted attention he was receiving. He hadn't really had ANYONE hit on him besides Amy herself, and being hit on by her sisters, no less? Who knew she was marrying him? It felt wrong... But he also didn't want to get mad at Amy's family and shoo them off... "Uh, l—ladies? I am getting married, r—remember? To your sister, Paikea?"

Kovo giggled. "We know~. But like I said, you're handsome! Why can't we just pay a compliment—?"

"HEY!!"

By this point, Amy definitely noticed the not-so-subtle sight of poor Ryoshi being backed up against the wall and ran towards Ryoshi, pushing her sisters away from him. "What the CRAP, girls!? Get OFF him! He's mine! He's mine mine mine mine MINE! Didn't you hear him!? We're getting married!"

"Aw, but we were only trying to show him what kind of lovely sister-in-laws he'd—"

"GET! OFF!"

The Hyper Voice was enough to launch all three of them into the other side of the room. Amy huffed. "Sheesh, didn't ANY of them already find someone already?"

Jukeen shrugged. "Kovo did, and Maka's already going for someone else, but Peluna isn't. Guess they wanted to see just how much you really liked Ryoshi. Not to mention they get really excited when it comes to just about any guy…"

"Of course I like him! What makes them think I don't?" She then turned to Ryoshi and hugged him. "They didn't make you feel too bad, did they, Ryoshi? Don't worry, I won't let them hit on you like that anymore."

"It's... alright Amy." He rubbed her head gently. He looked over to crumbled pile of Amy's sisters. He hoped that, even though they had been hitting on him like that, Amy hadn't actually hurt her kin too badly. "I just wasn't expecting your sisters to hit on me is all... And I didn't want to be rude to your family. Probably not a great idea to have your soon-to-be family be mad at you."

Amy was about to say something about how her sisters likely did it just to get her mad, but her mom cut in instead, having caught up to them. "Oh, don't worry about that, Ryoshi. You said you're an only child, right? It's actually quite normal for siblings to fight like that~. Don't worry about us getting mad at her. If anything, I think they'd leave you alone after they see that huge sword on your back! Come to think of it, makes me wonder why Maka didn't even notice..."

"Wait...he has a sword?"

Maka was the first to pop up from the impact and bounced over to Ryoshi. "Holy crap! It's even bigger than my scythe! Aw man, this sucks..." She then hung her head and walked to the laid out teepee, lying down on it as if to soothe the surely splitting headache she was no longer able to ignore.

"Wait, what?" Kovo was next. "Does that mean you can, like, fight people and slay them?"

Amy smirked triumphantly. "Heck yeah he can~. Right, Ryoshi?" Half of her was worried that they'd tease her, but on the other hand, if this would get them to stop...well, it was worth a shot, right?

"Ahaha, well... Slaying is a bit harsh..." The Mawile rubbed the back of his head with an awkward half-smile. "I don't ever have to kill anyone... But yeah, I do fight people... I'm a knight for the kingdom. Amy's told me that it's the women who fight in your home, but here, it's the men who do it."

The dumbfounded expression on Kovo's face as her jaw practically dropped to the floor was priceless, and it was all Amy could do to keep herself from bursting out laughing.

"...Oh...Yeah, that's true. That actually explains a lot in this place...haha...it'll probably take a while for me to get used to that concept...just, uh...sorry about that..." And with that, Kovo also staggered to the sleeping bags, and flomped down on them.

That left Peluna, who had apparently been staring intently at them both the whole time. "..........."

In fact, it even startled Amy. "Oh! Peluna, you...?"

"...Well, then I guess that means you two are perfect for each other after all. Way more perfect than I would ever be for him." She then shrugged. "Whatever," before flomping down on the sleeping bags, too.

Jukeen then clapped her hands. "Okay! Now that the light comedy has run its course, how about you tell me more about your family, Ryoshi?"

--------------

As Ryoshi told his soon-to-be mother-in-law about his parents and the life he lived back in Sazanami, Guinevere the Meganium head nurse came in and said that, while she had never seen this disease before and didn't know what would exactly cure it, she could give them some berries that would relieve the symptoms; namely, Nomel Berries. It allowed Ryoshi and Jukeen to continue talking for as long as they could until she yawned and said that she was going to get everyone to get to bed early. They had been up for the whole day, after all, and only sufficient sleep would allow them to try and fight this disease.

Ryoshi himself had also planned on getting to bed when Amy tapped him on the shoulder and tugged on his arm. She then whispered to him in the lowest voice possible. "Hey, Ryoshi? Can we talk for a bit? There's something I wanted to discuss with you. Outside. Away from all the Clefable with really good hearing here."

Ryoshi blinked at her in confusion. He wasn't sure what she had to say that couldn't be said in front of her family, but he slowly nodded. "Uh... Yeah, sure thing Amy."

The Mawile allowed her to lead him outside the room, and after closing the door, he bent down to her height. "What's up?"

Just to be on the really safe side, she continued to whisper in his ear. "...It's about my dad. I know his hearing is really good and all, so he might have already heard about this, but...I think we should let him know that our tribe is here. In case he doesn't know. Or at least ask him if he wants to see everyone again or not."

"Oh yeah... Good idea." Ryoshi shushed his voice too now that he understood what was being discussed. "He might want to see his family again, but then again, he could very well want to avoid detection... Yeah, asking would be for the better."

The Mawile straightened up and nodded. "C'mon, let's go."

*Amy-the-Jigglypuff 's comments:

Haha, I actually thought of how all of Amy's sisters' personalities would be different from each other. Though I don't actually have any sisters myself, I can easily imagine that they all hit on Ryoshi just to tick Amy off. Siblings do that, I guess? I definitely knew that some girls were going to hit on him, so if it wasn't her sisters, than it would have been some other random ones. (And I'm sorry you can't see Mokuba in this picture; poor guy. Probably hiding behind his mom or something.)

Oh yeah, and I probably should have warned you. Be prepared for a lot of pink glowing in these pictures, since all our major characters are affected with this illness because they all apparently become Fairy-type in Gen 6.

=ChicoChikorita 's Comments:

Ladies, please, there's enough Ryoshi to go around~. Wait, I mean--Girls! This is an engaged man here! And to your sister, no less! Show some restraint! Haha, all joking aside, at least now Ryoshi gets to meet the rest of Amy's rather large family. Even if her sisters all hit on him.

That's another thing, I actually find it really cool how each sister (Amy included) have different ways of flirting. I dunno, it's just a look into each of their personalities.
