Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon or Pokemon Special. If I did, I'd hook up Gary (Green) and Leaf (Blue) 3! But goodness me, I don't own them, either! :(

"Garyyyyyyy!!" a six-year-old Leaf called. "I give up!! Come out already!" The small brunette with a white hat, teal tank top, and red skirt pouted, crossed her arms, and plopped down, cross-legged, in the shade of a large oak tree in the Pallet Town park.
"Well, you're no fun to play with!" a boy's voice called out.
The brunette quickly stood up, looking around her. "Where are you, Gary?? I can't see you!" She heard a scoff.
"Look harder, then."
"Hmmf!" Leaf pouted again, then sat, sprawling herself under the shade of the tree once again, putting her hands behind her back and putting her legs straight out.
Then she saw him, brown unruly hair and a mischievous grin plastered on his face. He wore a black polo with purple pants, and his legs swung back and forth as he held onto the branch. Leaf brightened and sat up, one hand supporting her upper body and the other pointing at the boy. "Found ya!"
Gary laughed. "Well, it's about time. What took you so long?"
Leaf, still looking up, stuck out a tongue at him. "Well, how was I supposed to know that you were hiding in a tree?"
"That's why it's called hide and seek..."
"Whatever. Come down already!"
"Nah, I think I'll stay up here," Gary stuck a tongue back down at Leaf. "Nyahhhh."
Leaf whined, "Garyyyy I feel lonely down hereeeeee."
Gary rolled his eyes, and, being quite physically fit for a boy his age, pushed himself off the branch and landed on his two feet next to Leaf. "Sheesh. I'm down. Stop whining already."
"Yayyy Gary's here!" Leaf smiled and pulled Gary down so that he was sitting in the grass next to Leaf.
"Oof! Hey, could you be a little more gentle?" Gary rubbed his bottom. "You have to respect your olders anyways."
Leaf giggled. "I think it's elders, Gary."
"Whatever. I'm turning seven tomorrow anyways, so you have to respect me because I'm your older."
Leaf was tempted to correct him again, but, figuring that he would ignore her again, she put her hands behind her head again and lay in the grass with her eyes closed, just listening to the sound of wind passing through the tree's leaves.
"Eh?" Gary poked Leaf on her side, making her twitch slightly and giggle. "Suddenly so quiet, huh, Leaf?"
"Shhhhhh." Leaf became solemn again, almost as if she were in a trance.
Gary looked even more bewildered. Leaf had become so quiet and composed all of a sudden. The quiet was bothering Gary. "So, anyways, Leaf, do you want to go to my birthday party tomorrow? It's just you and Ash, but it's going to be fun!" Gary poked Leaf on the side again.
This time, Leaf couldn't help but burst out into a fit of giggles. "Garyyyyy!"
Gary beamed, happy that he was able to get Leaf to react, and he continued prodding her shoulder while he asked her, "So do you wanna go? Come onnnn, Leaf!"
"It matters..."
"On what?" Gary stopped poking Leaf.
"On... whether or not you can catch me!" Leaf, giggling, stood up quickly, and face-palmed Gary.
Gary rubbed his forehead. "Oi! Come back here!"

A small, brown haired girl stood at a door, one hand holding a medium-sized, white box with green ribbon tied around it. With the other, she rang the doorbell...
"Hi, Gary!!" Leaf waved enthusiastically with one hand when Gary opened the door to his grandfather's laboratory.
"Hey, Leaf!" Gary held open the door while Leaf stepped into the laboratory.
"Here!" Leaf shoved the white package into Gary's face. "This is for you! Happy seventh birthday!"
"Make a wish... Now blow!" Professor Oak said as his grandson closed his eyes, then began blowing out the seven candles that were on the chocolate cake in front of him.
"Come on, Gary! Blow out the candles! There are only seven!" Ash and Leaf cheered as Gary blew out the last of candles.
"What'd you wish for?" Leaf asked him excitedly.
"Hey, don't ask him that, Leaf! You know it'll jinx his wish!" Ash said.
"Ashy-boy's right!" Gary said. He patted Ash on the head, earning him glares from Ash and giggles from Leaf. He smiled when Leaf started giggling; he loved making Leaf happy.
"Oooo-kay!" Professor Oak said cheerfully as he set a small stack of presents on the table next to the cake. "Time for—"
"PRESENTS!!" the trio shouted. "Open mine first, Gary!" Leaf said, pointing at a white box. "No, mine!" Ash insisted, shoving a blue box towards him. Professor Oak waved his hands at the kids, then, when they had calmed down, said, "How about you open mine first, Gary?" he said, handing the brown spiky haired boy a golden bag.
"Okay, thanks Gramps!" Gary smiled at his grandfather as he took the bag and pulled out a tissue paper wrapped object. "Wow... No! Is it really--?? NO WAY!!" Gary launched off his chair and tackled his grandfather into a bear hug. "Thanks so much Gramps! I can't believe you got me a Squirtle model TRT!!"
"See?" he eagerly showed Leaf and Ash the Squirtle figure that had two buttons on the side. "It can do two attacks. Water Gun..." He pressed the button with a water drop on it. The Squirtle figure opened its mouth and sprayed Ash with its "water gun", sending both Gary and Leaf into hysterics at the sight of Ash dripping with water. "... and Bubble!" He aimed the Squirtle at Leaf this time and pressed down the bubble button. The figure opened its mouth, and bubbles lazily floated out. Leaf shrieked in excitement and scrambled off her chair, chasing and popping as many bubbles as she could.
Professor Oak now had returned from getting a towel for Ash to dry himself off with. "Okay, okay, now, let's open another present, shall we?" the professor chuckled, handing the towel to a soggy Ash.
"Alright. Thanks again, Gramps!" Gary said as he set aside the Squirtle model. The three children scrambled onto their seats again, Leaf and Ash awaiting Gary's next decision.
"Hmm let's open this one next!" Gary picked out Ash's gift, which was in a blue giftwrapped box. Gary tore off the giftwrap, and when a small part of it had been exposed, he beamed. "A photo album, huh, Ashy boy!"
"It was my mom's idea..." Ash mumbled, sinking into his chair.
Gary quickly tore off the rest of the wrapping paper, and Leaf and Ash crowded around him while Gary flipped through the pages of pictures. "Wow, Ash. Normally, I'd call this a girly thing, but there are a lot of funny pictures in this thing! This is a cool present! Thanks!"
Ash smiled. "Wow, you like it? You're welcome Gary!" The three continued looking and laughing at pictures while the Professor cleaned up the wrapping paper.
"Alright, now come," the professor said after many other presents had been opened. "Only one more, and you guys are free to play!" The three kids cheered. Professor Oak handed Gary the white box; Leaf's gift.
"I hope you like it, Gary!" Leaf said, smiling at him.
Gary smiled back at Leaf, then carefully untied the green ribbon tied around the box and slowly lifted the top...
It was a necklace pendant. It sort of looked like a yin and yang pendant, but it just had one green section and another yellow section. On the back, it had engraved, 'Leaf and Gary. Best friends!'
Up until now, no one had spoken, and Leaf finally broke the silence and quietly said, "Umm is it too girly?"
Gary fingered the pendant, then put it over his head and onto his neck. "Heck no! This is one of the coolest presents I've ever gotten. Thanks, Leaf!" Leaf smiled and hugged Gary.
"Good. I thought you might say it was too girly and stuff since it's a necklace."
"Nahh this is a cool present. Thanks, Leaf."
"You're welcome."
