[shut up it's totally the 3rd you people are just slow in da past and junk.

Well now - it seemed a lot of people had their eggs hatch before him. Laguna had gotten a bit worried - the one he's gotten from the breeding center hadn't even hatched yet!

...But, today was a pretty special day for him. He couldn't help but chuckle to himself, as he was filming. He was pretty happy.]

The big 28, huh? Man, if I was at home, I wonder where I'd be right now? Probably with--

[Hahaha... yup, it's his birthday. He's just talking to himself, recording a bit of the slightly snowy Cherrygrove enviroment. Until--]

Woah!

[The video suddenly turned off, the 'gear dropping. Why? Well, Laguna just felt something shaking in his bag. A few moments later, he's suddenly swarmed by Pokemon! And, well, see the picture - the gear seems to have fallen into the sand in just the right place. Lucky!!!]



Looks like they were waiting for each other, doesn't it? All three of them... Cecil, looks like your Litwick hatched, too! And little Leon, and... [Actually, he didn't have a name planned for his third, strange egg. Looks like he's got some thinking to do - Litwick does have a name, mind. It's gonna end up being Tom. The horror. But he's got a smile, either way. Truth be told, he's hella excited.]

Here's to the new year! [He gives a wave, before Boco the friendly Pidgey flies to the 'gear and pokes it off. After a few missed pecks, of course.]

Oh...
[He had no idea!]
A friend of yours, then? [Well, former friend...]

[audio]

[soggypastry]

[Not surprised he had no idea. Most people don't talk about those who have left.]

You could say that. [Something more than a friend. Much more. In any event:] I knew him well enough to know he'd have made a face at you for that name. [she sounds a little amused, though. Probably imagining that face.]

[Now he's imagining this Leon guy is just like Lightning. he's not cloud laguna sheesh :p] Well, he's not here to tell me not to.
[But then he pauses, and adds - ]
Thought it'd be nice if he returned, huh?

[audio]

[soggypastry]

[Actually he and Light were pretty similar. A sigh, and the wistful note in her voice comes through loud and clear.]

It would be nice if a lot of people came back, not just him.

[Which is about as close to a "yes it damn well would be nice" as he's ever going to get from her. Silly emotionally closed off lady.]

[Laguna, on his end, is frowning a bit. He hopes he won't see anybody vanish in front of him spoilers it seems like his travel partner spain is about to be dropped so sobbu

BUT SHE CAN'T SEE THAT. And he still sounds cheerful.]
Maybe... I get the feeling that they'll either come back, or we'll find a way to them. I kind of want to meet this Leon guy!
[of course you would, laguna]

[audio]

[soggypastry]

[It's not something Lightning wishes on anybody, really. It sucks. especially if it happens right in front of you. Most of the time they're behind you.

Always cheerful. At least somebody is.]

Maybe you will, someday. [a short sight.] But he's been gone for almost eight months. I doubt he's coming back anytime soon.

[Discounting that weekend she vividly remembers because she only had him back for three days and it still aches more than she wants to admit.]
