It has been no more than a few hours since Ferra was last with Torr and already she missed him deeply. She didn't know why she got so attatched to him so quickly and it only made her sadder. She felt she finally had a friend, and while she was very thankful for that, she just wanted him to take her in and have someone to love her.
Even now, she's still not entirely sure why he gave her food and water instead of punishing her. She'd seen with her own eyes what happened to thieving Pokemon in this town. Although curious as to why, she didn't let it get to her, she was just glad he didn't hate her for it and actually forgave her.
For hours, she just sat in her little box, hoping, praying, that Torr would come back and save her. She knew it wouldn't happen but she'd learned to always have hope for something, that was part of the reason she kept going all this time.
Through the time of her being alone again, she couldn't help but think more and more Torr. She wondered so much about him. She wanted to know what his house was like, what this "band" was she had heard him call it.. if he was in a relationship with anybody.. She wanted to know everything about this boy.. no.. man.. she had met just a few hours ago; the man who'd shown her more kindness in a mere half an hour than anybody had in her entire life.
Sighing, Ferra curled up into a tigher ball than she already was and listened to the people pass by as they all talked. She watched as couples walked by holding hands, as people and their Pokemon talked, and just wished she could be part of that.
Shaking her head to get those thoughts of being with someone, she watched as another couple with a Growlithe walked down the street, the man and woman arguing over something. Curious as to what they were arguing about, she listened much more closely.
"I don't care how much you spent on it, throw it away." The woman demanded. The man looked at her,
"What's so wrong with being able to talk to him? I've always dreamed of being able to." He said, looking to the Growlithe. Ferra looked at the Pokemon of the topic, its head hung low as the two argued about it.
"Because the barriers are the for a reason. Either you get rid of the translator, or you get rid of me. Which is it?" She asked, a stern and serious look on your face. The man looked between the two with a sad looked. This time, the Growlithe spoke up,
"Aye man, I know we been friends since birth but it's fine, I understand, mate. Make your lady friend happy," It said, a small smile on its face. Sighing, the man kneeled down next to it,
"You sure?" The Pokemon simply nodded with a smile. Standing up, the man removed some sort of ear piece and threw it in the dumpster next to him.
"Good choice," The lady said as she leaned in a kissed him. Soon, the three of them all walked off to do who knows what. Ferra just sat there.. stunned.. did he really just throw away some device that could translate Pokemon language to human? Honestly, she was a bit glad, maybe now she could speak to Torr!.. if she ever sees him again.
Getting up from her box, she went to the garbage bin and jumped up, instantly spotting it and picking it up in her mouth. She hoped he wouldn't mind it being a bit dirty. Trotting back to her box, she laid it down in the back and laid down herself, closing her eyes to hopefully catch a little sleep and shorten the time to see Torr again.
On the other side of town, Torr and his group of friends were finishing up their band practice. Just before they finished, the band leader, a man named Aaron, had recieved a call and found out the bar they played at wanted to have them play tomorrow. Like always, they instantly accepted the offer as it meant a free meal for them as well as getting to play live.
"What time are we going in?" Torr asked.
"Around 6 is when he wanted us," Aaron spoke.
"What's the occasion?" Kels, the bands bass guitarist, asked.
"Nothing special, just wants us in for some reason." Aaron said with a shrug.
"Aye mate, not like you're one to turn down some food, now are ya?" Pat, the drummer, said to Torr. With a chuckle, Torr responded,
"You know me so well. Especially the way that Vince cooks? Why would I turn that down?" He laughed. They all rolled their eyes at him. Torr was the only one of the them who truly enjoyed the food Vince made. The others didn't really hate it but didn't prefer it.
As the band finished their practice and decided on which songs they were going to play tomorrow, they all packed up their things and all went their seperate ways. Since the gig tomorrow was around 6, Torr had decided that he'd leave an hour earlier. He always preferred arriving early so he could make sure everything was set up.
As usual, his walk across town and back home was spent listening to music; barely paying any attention to anything as he went. It was getting a bit late for him and he hated being out late so he decided it'd be best for him to step up his pace and get home. With this new gig coming up tomorrow, he knew he'd need his sleep and be ready for when the time comes to perform. He knew better than to be tired as he sang.
For Ferra though, sleep wasn't so easy to come. Ever since she'd met Torr, she couldn't get him out of her mind. She wanted to see him again, just see him and she'd be happy. She wanted to make sure she didn't lose her mind and that none of this was a dream. She wanted to give him this little present she just happened to get.
With this device, being able to do what she heard, she could properly talk to Torr, explain to him what had happened in her life. She could thank him for not hating her and thank him for giving her food, compassion, and a friend. She had so much she could say to him and she'd give anything to be able to.
But the problem with that is she didn't know where to find him. She had overhead him say something about 'practicing with his band' and she had a faint idea of what a band was but she didn't know where they practiced. She didn't even know where Torr lived for that matter. For all she knew, he could have only been passing through here and she'd never see him again.
Thinking about those things made Ferra quite upset. She wanted to see Torr again. She wanted him to hold her again. She just wanted her friend back. She wanted to be with him all the time, to show him that she can be a good friend to him like he was to her. She just wanted Torr back.
Sighing sadly, she laid onto her side and tried to sleep.. all-the-while missing her one friend.

"So everything's all good to go," Torr told his group, "We still starting off with Collapse My dream?" He asked them all. Aaron nodded,
"Then following up with A Heavy Burden and Heartquake?"
"Sounds like a plan." Torr said.
Satisfied that the group still had their music lined up, Torr went up onto stage to fiddle with all the equipment, making sure everything was ready to go. He checked all the cables to make sure everything was plugged in and, happy everything was, he went up to the bar and took a seat.
"Thanks for coming in on such short notice," Vince, the bar manager, spoke up as he approached, "I had the urge to see how far you guys have come along."
"Don't sweat it. If you're offering free food while we're practicing, we'll always be glad to." Torr responded with a smile. Vince chuckled,
"I don't even know how you think I'm the one cooking. It's not me." He said.
"But you're the one who makes sure it's good and servable. Even the slightest thing wrong and you have it redone. So technically, you also are." Vince shrugged,
"I suppose. So, when are you guys ready?" He asked.
"Whenever Kels gets here. You know how she takes her time." He sighed.
"Hope that changes when y'all make it big time!" Vince yelled as he walked over to help one of the customers who'd been waiting. As Torr was left alone, he pulled out his phone and did another quick search of the weather. Since he'd originally learned of the storm, he periodically had began checking on it to see if it would be a big one or not.
As he pulled up the report, he put in one of his earbuds so he'd be able to listen to it.
"This is Laney with the weather. A storm system has been making its way across Hoenn for the past few days. What was originally suspected to be a typical cell has grown into a supercell, far exceeding meterologists expectations.
"Earlier reports have indicated hail, heavy downpours, lots of lightning and thunder, and many power outages. Our last report has indicated that it is heading towards Little Root and Oldale Town now, moving away from Petalburg City. Those in the path of this storm are advised to stop any travel and stay indoors for your safety. We'll keep you informed as more comes to us."
With a sigh, Torr removed his earbud and put his phone away. This was just what Torr needed. He didn't really hate rain, or bad storms for that matter, but he did hate walking in them. He hoped for his own good this gig would be over before it really gets bad. If worst comes to worst, he would just camp out the storm in the bar until it passes, or until it at least calms down enough to get home.
Ferra though, she wouldn't be as lucky. All day, she'd been gitty, she knew of the storm on the way. It was all part of her animal instincts. All she had to protect her from it was a measely box. She had nothing else to protect her. What she'd give to stay safe right now, but she'd learned over the many years to tough it out.
She hated storms. No, hated was an understatement. There was no word to describe her feelings towards storms. Each and everytime it rained, she got sick from being cold. Not only that, but she had a massive fear of the thunder. She didn't know what it was about it but she was terrified of it.
She needed to get her mind off the approacing storm. Getting up from her box, she walked out into the street. Walking down the sidewalk, she saw a girl dressed in a pair of black shorts and a black tank top carrying some.. thing.. that had strings on it. She watched her as she walked into this building that she'd seen many other people walk into. Curious as to what it was, she made her way down there.
As she slowly approached her destination, she looked inside the building from the window and saw the lady plugging in some wires to it. She was so curious as to what it was and what it did. She wanted to go in and sit with everybody but she couldn't. Most stores didn't allow wild Pokemon on the inside, she was no exception. Sitting down on her haunches, she waited.
As she waited, she saw another man walk to a similar object as the girl and put the strap on it around his neck. She watched as a second man sat behind all these barrel-looking things and pick up two sticks. As she watched, her heart literally skipped a beat at what she saw.
The next person to come into her view and stand in front of this giant stick was Torr.
That's when it all made sense to her! Those other people must be part of his band! She didn't know what those others did but she knew that Torr was going to sing. If he wasn't, she didn't know what he'd do. But seeing him again.. it was taking everything for her to not just charge in there and jump into his arms.
So she did the next best thing. She waited for him to sing.
"How is everybody tonight?!" Torr spoke. The bar all cheered him on, all familiar with each of them. "Good to hear. Y'all ready for some music?" He asked. Again, they all cheered. Silently, Ferra also was cheering for him. With a smirk, Torr yelled, "Then lets get this started!"
(*AUTHORS NOTES: I'm explaining real quick how the singing is done. If it's in parenthesis, it's a backup singer. If it's bold, they're all singing. Italics is just Torr. Alright, let's get back to this!*)
Instantly, Ferra watched as everyone but Torr began play their instruments. She watched as the man on the drums began hitting different ones in a rhythmic pattern. She watched as the girl on the guitar strum and create these.. noises. She figured it must have taken a lot of talent to do such a thing.
"Back again! Veterans of the same war!
Fighting compact darkness as we wish upon the black star!
Man never seems to change,
if you know one you know them all!
Just collect your heart and run for higher ground!"
Torr sang. Ferra listened in awe at his voice. She didn't know he could sing this well. She listened on as the crowd inside was all cheering for them all as they played. She wanted to be in there so bad and cheer with them; show Torr she was interested in this.
"We arm ourselves with all that we've been through
while we watch the sun rain down on you!"
Torr continued. As they all played, Ferra watched as they all danced around the music. Most of the people in there were banging their heads back in forth to the beat of the music as some also sang along with him. While it was a tiny bit hard for Ferra to understand what was being said, she could still make out bits and pieces of it and still loved every bit of it.
"Your only mistake... was to let me live!"
("My mind is.. now a stronghold.. no-one shall enter!")
"And you can't blind what already can't see!"
"Now I channel all my pain onto you!"
"Don't speak to me as if I can be wrong..
Some wounds are not meant to heal at all..
You'll make all the same mistakes all over again.."
("So stick to your guns and fight for what you are!")
They all sang. Even if only the beginning, Ferra couldn't help but come to enjoy their music. She wished she knew exactly what they were saying but she saw Torr having a lot of fun in front of everyone and that made her even more happy. Even if she couldn't go directly in there to see Torr, she was glad she could see him from where she was and know that there was a chance he'd see her again.
"Tried to put myself in the wrong place at the wrong moment,
But there's no power under God that can't break me,
Everything I hate in this world I find in you..
But there's sixhundred sixteen reasons not to care!"
Torr continued to sing. Inside, Torr was having the time of his life. He always enjoyed singing for people of all ages. He observed the crowd and saw they all were singing along with him and they all appeared to be enjoying themselves. He looked to his right and saw Kels with a smile on her face and, looking to his left, he saw the same coming from Aaron.
"Your only mistake... was to let me live!"
("My mind is.. now a stronghold.. no-one shall enter!")
"And you can't blind what already can't see!"
"Now I channel all my pain onto you!"
"Don't speak to me as if I can be wrong..
Some wounds are not meant to heal at all..
You'll make all the same mistakes all over again.."
("So stick to your guns and fight for what you are!")
Ferra watched in awe as Torr stopped singing, and watched the girl on the guitar as her solo came up. Ferr watched as Kels' fingers moved at an incredible speed and played the solo, not missing a note and earning a cheer from the crowd in response. Even Ferra was silently cheering for her. What she'd give to be in there with them all..
As the song came to and end, she saw Torr and all of his friends all had a smile on their faces. Seeing him, and all of the for that matter, having that much fun made her happy. Sure, she wished again and again that she was having fun, but she wanted him to be happy more than herself.
"Ya'll enjoy the song!?" Torr yelled. Instantly, the bar erupted into cheers and applauds. Torr laughed, "I'm glad to hear! Let's not waste anytime! Hit it Kels!" Torr yelled. Grinning and nodding, the girl named Kels instantly began playing her next intro.
It was quiet other than just her playing. Her fingers moved in fluid motions as she played. After a moment, the bass and the drums kicked in, hard. Kels's face instantly changed from smiling to serious as her guitar picked up pace. Torr was still headbanging to the music as his singing began,
"You know it turns me on to see the way you look at me.
With your eyes that dance on the pale white moon,
Would you even think about leaving so soon?"
Torr sang. As Ferra listened, she couldn't help but answer that question he just asked: Would she leave him if she was with him? She instantly answered that with a no, she'd never want to leave him. She wanted to learn so much about him. Grinning, she continued to listen to her friend, who was turning into more than just that in her mind, perform.
"And there she hits you within you eye.
You know all is lost and about to die,
Then she turns her head with a beautiful smile and talks for a while with that,"
As his backup singer sang his part, Torr looked around at the crowd. He observed every single expression he saw, whether it was a bad one because they didn't enjoy the song or a happy one that they were enjoying it, he wanted to know each of them. As he looked he caught glimpse of one in particular: Ferra's.
In a second, Ferra's heart stopped. She was looking Torr dead in the eyes. She was beyond joyed, he'd actually seen her! She wanted to jump for joy that she did but she didn't. She wanted him to keep playing. She was enjoying herself beyond words.
With a small wave and smile, Torr made it known he'd seen her before he continued singing,
"Track to the city filth that lies below,
When I'm with you, the streets are fields where flowers grow.
You look pretty in every stitch you're in...I'm a little boy..
I'm in love with you in ways they'll never try..
Set sails for the future.. head on into the night.
SET SAILS.. FOR THE FUTURE ON INTO THE NIGHT!"
As Ferra listened on, she couldn't help but repeat each of the words he said after she heard them. Although one pair of words did mean a lot more to her.. she didn't know how or why or even want to believe it.. but she loved him. She'd always believed in love at first sight and, while it wasn't really a sight, it was what he did for her. And she loved him for it. Maybe not full on loved, but she did REALLY like him.
"You give yourself the red carpet grave,
The last of the lost was hereby saved with the serpent tongue and a hot-plated heart.
She turned back to the story from the start,
and there she goes all dressed in style.
All is won within all that dies.
Then she turns her head with a beautiful smile and talks for a while with that,"
Torr sang. Ferra couldn't help but notice that Torr had looked directly into her eyes as he sang that last part. Smiling brightly, she placed a paw on the window as she listened more. As she listened, she felt a drop on her head. Instantly, she frowned. She knew what was coming. She hated to think about it but she knew she'd have to leave soon if she wanted to avoid the rain.
Realizing she'd missed the rest of the song, Ferra watched on intently as Torr spoke up,
"Alright everybody! We've got one more song planned!" Torr watched as the crowd all cheered on again. "I'm glad you're enjoying yourselves still. But real quick," Torr paused a moment and looked at Ferra, "I'd like to dedicate this song to a friend of mine. She'll remain anonymous but she knows who she is." He said with a smile as he eyed Ferra.
Outside, Ferra's mouth literally dropped. Did he really just say what she thinks he did? She was beyond speechless. She couldn't believe what she'd just heard. No matter how bad the storm gets, she was going to stay and listen to it all. And that was a promise to not only herself, but to Torr as well.
"Let's do this!" He yelled. Instantly, the band began their very short intro to the song before he started singing,
"It's a love that will shake you to your bones!
Have a dance, fall in love!
It's like we're all up in the club!
Make me laugh, have a joke,
Love will subside with clearing smoke!
Laser lights, lots of fights,
drowning in the scene of dance!
Make me laugh, make you cry...
It's like it's love from first glance!"
As Ferra listened, she instantly connected with the lyrics. She knew that there was meaning behind the to her. She didn't know if she loved Torr, as that seemed silly to love him so easily, but she did like him a lot. Everything she'd known about him already, even so little, peaked her interest.
Not only that, but he dedicated her, a mere Mightyena with different fur he'd only met once, a song he was singing to her! She wanted to barge in there and dance, show she was interested, but she knew it'd end up bad if she did. Instead she stayed outside and watched. Thinking about what he had just said to her literally brought a tear to her eye. Never once had anyone ever been given to her, let alone has anybody sang a song to her.
"Shake shake, with love!
This one's a heartquake shaking bones!
Break break, with chance, it's like a love story from first glance.."
"Shake shake, with love!
This one's a heartquake shaking bones!
Break break, with chance, IT'S LIKE A LOVE STORY FROM FIRST GLANCE!"
Torr continued, never once breaking contact with Ferra. He couldn't help but smile at her as she just sat there, awestruck. Deep down, he wanted to invite her in but he knew of Vince's policy on wild Pokemon. So the best he could do was dedicate a song to her. And that's very well what he did.
"Hold my hand, have a dance.
The clock is ticking, take a chance,
Kiss and tell,
Tell the world that we're in love and we will conquer all!
Raise our hands in the sky, and thank the world that we're alive!
And have this feeling we can share..
We're in love..
WE'RE IN LOVE!"
Ferra continued listening on, never even stopping. She listened to each of the words as they were sung, wanting to know what each was to the song that was for her. As she listened, more and more raindrops were making their presence known. Looking up to the sky, Ferra saw the sky had gotten considerably darker from the approaching storm. She'd have to get going soon or she'd be stuck out in it.
Placing a paw back on the window, she looked at Torr as he continued to sing after a very slow solo,
"Shake shake, with love!
This one's a heartquake shaking bones!
Break break, with chance, it's like a love story from first glance.."
"Shake shake, with love!
This one's a heartquake shaking bones!
Break break, with chance, IT'S LIKE A LOVE STORY FROM FIRST GLANCE!"
"A LOVE STORY FROM FIRST GLANCE!"
As the song came to an end, the rain had picked up harshly. Ferra looked around a moment and saw that it was now coming down quickly and she had to get back before the rain really showed its ugly face. Sighing sadly that she'd had to leave so shortly after listening to the song for her, she took her paw off the window and bolted to her home.
Inside, Torr had just seen as his Mightyena friend ran away in the rain. As much as he wanted to chase after her in the rain, he felt he was part of the reason for making her leave. What if the song he just sang upset her? That wasn't his intention in the slightest. He wanted to sing a song for her to make her happy. Torr didn't know if she'd ever been given anything before and thought that would be a very special gift for her.
Sighing confusedly, Torr was brought out of his sudden mood change as Kels grabbed his shoulders and brought him into a hug, happy with how the gig had gone.
