Description

It didn’t take very long at all; maybe 10 or 20 minutes at most. By that time, they had made a nice big “I’m sorry”, “Get well soon”, “Thank you”, and “We’ll miss you” card all in one. Amy helped decorate the card in a beautiful way, and Mike, Chikorita, and the Rejeckts helped write what Amy, Ligray, and Rigley wanted to say. Finally, the card was folded and ready for delivery. Mike waved outside the clubhouse window and sent it off via Pidove delivery service.

When that was sent off, he turned to the Rejeckts, smiling. “Sorry for blowing up at you guys like that. I guess Chill’s resignation really put me in a bad mood like that, and it felt unfair for you to apologize to me but not him.” He then glanced slyly at Lizzard and said, “And you’ve evolved, too. Lucky you, Lizzard.”

She blushed. “Aw, c’mon, Mike! Stop it! I’m sure ya can evolve too! In fact, I can even help!”

“No need, no need. I’ll evolve on my own time,” he explained.

“You…forgive us too, right?” asked Amy meekly.

Mike slapped his forehead and said, “Oh, RIGHT! Team Pecha! Man, sorry I forgot about you guys.” He paused. “Wait. Forgive you for what?”

“You know…for joining…?”

“Oh, right, that! Like I said, it was your choice to join the Merchants, not mine. I respect your decision, and hey, at least you hadn’t switched guilds. Even then, I know you’re both good people.” He looked at the basket of eggs. “And thanks for the eggs! I’ve been so busy with making breakfast for Maple that I hardly had time for some myself. I really appreciate it.” He then cleared his throat. “And yeah…I honestly never intended for you to be dragged into my argument with the Rejeckts here.”

Lizzard walked up to Amy and added, “Yeah, sorry ‘bout that. Ya all had nothing to do with our business. I swear.”

Mike smiled. Maybe these Rejeckts were worth trusting after all. He adjusted his hat and said, “…Lizzard. Renegade. You know what? I’ve never had a trophy for myself before. I’ll accept your apology gift…” Then he glanced up to the Elgyems. “IF Ligray and Rigley keep a VERY close eye on you guys.”

“Yes, sir!” They both saluted at the same time.

“Aw, man…” groaned Renegade. She looked up at the Elgyems in exasperation.

“Shut up, Ren. We either take it or leave it.” Lizzard discreetly elbowed Renegade.

Amy and Chikorita seemed to look uncomfortable at the whole idea that the two teams could very well become enemies, so Mike suggested, “And how about this? Amy and Chikorita can help smooth things out for you guys if necessary.”

“I…I guess we could,” said Amy.

After all of that was settled, the three teams left the clubhouse, but with Ligray keeping a close eye on the Rejeckts like Mike told her to.

Trying not to show how unnerved she was, Renegade asked the teams, “S—so that party of Sorbet’s in the café is coming in, what? Nine days? You guys coming?”

“Huh? Oh, right! Yeah, we are,” said Ligray, apparently too concentrated on monitoring the Rejeckts to pay much attention to what Renegade was saying. “Right, Rigley?”

“Yeah, sis. We don’t want to miss Amy and Chikorita’s performance, now, do we?”

Lizzard blinked in surprise. “Wait. What? They’re performing? How did this happen?”

“Miss PK and Mr. Shroomsworth asked us to,” explained Amy. “They said something about how since the Merchants were sponsoring this whole thing, we had to provide entertainment.”

“Aww…ya poor things. Well, I wish ya the best of luck! Where are ya headed now?”

Chikorita explained, “To Master Foo’s dojo. He gives us an extra room for us to rehearse our performances. Hmm…” She thought hard. “Would it be okay if they came and watch, Amy?”

“I think so…” replied Amy, also a bit unsure. “What do you guys think?”

Renegade glanced up at the pairs of Elgyem eyes monitoring her and Lizzard from above. “Uh, yeah. Sure.” Anything to distract her from the odd sensation, and besides, maybe they might forget during the rehearsal.

Lizzard was much more enthusiastic. “Heck yeah! Count me in!”

The six of them walked (or floated) to the dojo, relieved and overjoyed that they had all managed to get (or stay) on Mike’s good side in the end.

Meanwhile, in the faraway Snowy Village far to the south of Tao Village, the Pidove delivery birds finally made their way to Chill’s house. The Minccinno with sharp sunglasses over his eyes came to the doorway and took the giant envelope off their beaks.

“Chill? What is it?” asked Mindy.

“Can we see?” asked Cindy. The two of them were still stuck in bed.

“Yeah, just gimme a sec…” Chill opened the envelope and pulled out the giant card. Apparently, he wasn’t expecting to see a card with that much art scribbled all over it. “Whoa!” Then he began to read through it. “Sorbet’s birthday party, hmm, too bad I won’t be able to go…we’ll miss you…thanks for helpin’ me out, from Mike…” Then he stopped as he came across several lines.

“Chill? I wanna see!”

“What’s it say? What’s it say?”

He laid the card out so that both his sisters could see the messages scrawled across it. Apparently there were messages from two teams: the Rejeckts and Team Elgyem (LGM). The Rejeckts were apologizing that they switched over to Rogues, but also hoped that Chill would understand as much as Mike did. But the Elgyems apologized even more, saying that the hoped that Chill would forgive them for their failure, and that they hoped he didn’t mean all those horrible things he said to them.

He immediately went to work on a letter addressed to them specifically. In it, he wrote about how it wasn’t right of him to blow up at them like that, and that he really didn’t mean all those horrible things he said.

But most of all, he wrote that he was thankful for them sending this card to him, and that he was sure that they would be able to help Mike out whenever he needed them.

On the third day of giving, my new friends gave to me…
Three for Mike,
Two mattresses,
And a flood of a gifting spree!
