Nimbasa City - Mid-March 2014

Herbert: You do? Well, Alice already beat you to the punch by doing that very thing last Christmas. Though I suppose I could always use a spare...

-In an effort to draw attention away from the fact that he's red as a beetroot, he turns to admire the view from the Ferris Wheel.-

Herbert: You know, I can still remember the first time I came up here. The memory's clear as day, even though it was... well, it would've been ages ago, now. I wanted to ask Carol to ride with me, but Sam got there first. Some girl called Yancy ended up taking me on the equivalent of a pity date instead.

-He smiles slightly.-

Herbert: Still, it's a hell of a view.

-Sarah giggles slightly-

Sarah: Yeah, it is...

-She stares out, thinking.-

Sarah: ...You know, I...

-She shakes her head, not finishing what she was going to say.-

Sarah: ...I was thinking about the whole "pretend you don't have a care in the world" thing, and...

-She glances at him, her own face growing red-

Sarah: Well... it's just a thought, but... maybe until we do have to return... no, nevermind, it's just a stupid thought.

-She looks away.-

-Herbert turns to face Sarah - or at least, the back of Sarah's head, anyway - looking rather confused.-

Herbert: ...For the record, I don't think anything you have to say is stupid. I'll understand if you'd rather keep it to yourself, but... we don't have to go back to Kalos any time soon. We still have all the time in the world together, provided that we can keep coming up with ways to make the most of it.

-Sarah's comment appears to strike Herbert dumb for a good ten seconds or so.-

Herbert: ...I, er... I gotta say, I wasn't expecting you to say that...

-He glances down at his feet and rubs the back of his neck, giving an incredibly nervous chuckle.-

Herbert: Well, um... to answer your question, that'd be a pretty crazy coincidence, since I, uh... well, you see, the thing is... I'm kinda in love with you too.

Sarah: But we already have girlfriends, both of us, and we can't just end everything with them without them knowing... I still love Caroline, but...

-She sighs-

Sarah: ...I guess... if we want to, we could, um...

-She trails off, searching for the words to what she wanted to say-

-Herbert's face falls as Sarah's observation brings him back into reality with a dull thud.-

Herbert: ...I guess no matter how hard we try, we can't just pretend that we don't have responsibilities, or commitments, or lives outside our little bubble here in Unova...

-He goes quiet, wordlessly raising an eyebrow in an attempt to encourage Sarah to continue.-

-Herbert gives a rather pained sigh as he leans against the wall of the car, clearly unsure about how to address the moral dilemma facing him.-

Herbert: ...We'd know that it happened, though. And you're in a relationship with a telepath.

-Sarah looks away guiltily.-

Sarah: ...I have secrets I keep even from her. One of the things I've learned to do is to suppress what I want to keep to myself even despite telepathy. This could be one of them.

-Herbert sighs, then puts his hand on Sarah's shoulder.-

Herbert: ...For what it's worth, if you'd told me this before I met Samantha, I... well, to be honest, I don't know what I would've said. Probably something stupid, knowing me. But these last few weeks... they've been some of the happiest of my life. A welcome relief from everything I've been through. And I want you to feel the same way, to be happy as well. If this is what it takes to make you happy... then I'm willing to keep a few secrets.

-Sarah hesitantly looks up at Herbert-

Sarah: ...We... could at least give it a try. If either of us thinks "this is a stupid idea", then it ends...

-He takes one of his hands-

Sarah: Until then... it's our secret.

Herbert: Works for me. Though I get the feeling that Pokestar B-movies don't really pay a lot of attention to continuity.

-He notices that the Ferris Wheel car has completed its rotation and is now back at ground level once again.-

Herbert: ...Time flies when you're having fun, I guess. Wanna go get ice cream?
