Nico Nico Yon [Video/Action]

[Video]

[The video on the warp band turns on with a bit of pecking and feathers, showing Nico, lined up with several of her pokemon - a Marill and Jigglypuff to each side, then outside of them her Skiploom and Shroomish. The location? The Flower Grove, which is despite the season, still enjoying full bloom, all pink and green just like her pokemon. Clearly, this was staged, and the reason why becomes clear]

Music... start!

[Some pre-recorded music starts and soon enough, Nico is singing and dancing to a (less electric guitar-heavy version of) this (click under Audio to listen). Her dancing and singing is light and energetic, but obviously she's been practicing it for a while. Her pokemon... well, Shroomish is doing well, but Skiploom and Marill seem to get distracted every now and then before remembering to dance along - and Jigglypuff seems to keep tripping over itself in nervousness. Still, they make it through the entire song without any major disasters and at the end they all pose.

Once the music fades out, Nico turns to her pokemon with a smile.]

See? You all did great!

[She kneels down to pet and praise them a bit before remembering the warp band, which she hurries over to.]

Hi~! Is this reaching all the way to everyone in Union? It's everyone's favorite Nico-ni~ I hope you liked my song, and now that I have your attention, I have an important question to ask...

[Reaching behind the camera she pulls out... what's clearly a masterpiece of crayon on construction paper.]

Has anyone seen one of these? Nico-ni's been searching for weeks now after hearing a rumor there was one here, but there hasn't been a single sign of it! You'd think it'd be easy to spot when everything else here is so pink...

[Action]

[And if anyone's visiting out by the Flower Grove, they might run into Nico - alternately taking snack breaks with her pokemon, practicing singing and dancing or, y'know, actually searching for pokemon like she came here to do - sneaking through the underbrush, crawling through the grass, climbing trees, all that stuff. And probably looking pretty silly doing it.]

[ They are certainly...lyrics. Though Maki thinks they leave a lot to be desired, to go with the song she wrote. Still, Nico did a good job, and she definitely smiled watching, but she's trying to keep it down. She doesn't need Nico getting any haughtier. ]

It's getting better, like I said. With a little more work you'll finally be able to get that note. But it's too early to say it's perfect.

[nicocism]

[NO, GIVE HER THE PRAISE SHE RIGHTFULLY EARNED YOU THIEF]

Geez, you're so harsh... even if you're right. [Yeah, Nico won't settle for less than perfection either so she'll concede this one to Maki.]

[cutiepanther]

I'm only being harsh because I don't want you to make a fool of yourself, and get better at singing.

[ Her eyes suddenly flutter open wider. ]

N-Not that it matters to me or anything!

[nicocism]

Hmmm? Ohhhhh, I get it.

[This face]

You just don't want me messing up your song~ that you composed, huh? And you said you didn't care~

[cutiepanther]

That's not what I said at all! You're being difficult for no reason. I wouldn't have given you the song at all if I didn't think you could do it.

[ Nico being difficult makes her want to be just as difficult back, and it's not going to make things better. ]

L-Like it matters to me if you make a mistake.

[nicocism]

It does, it does, it totally does!

Well don't worry, princess, I'll make sure it's perfect the next time I show everyone!

[cutiepanther]

It doesn't! If you make a fool of yourself it's your choice!

[ Maki snaps back, her ears twitching a little. But that word choice, calling her princess... ]

"P-Princess?" S-Since when are you calling me that?! [ Since you know, Chie, her girlfriend, calls her it often enough it's a little embarrassing for Nico to say it. ]

[nicocism]

Your ears are twitching~ I know it bothers you~

[Or she's just getting annoyed at Nico's teasing. She knows your ears now Maki]

It was just a joke... what, you want me to call you it more? [Obviously not which is why Nico is offering]

[cutiepanther]

Why are you looking at my ears that much to know that?!

[ Her hands instantly go to her head, covering up the two kitty ears on her head, forcing them to fold over under her hands. ]

Unless you want me to call you Sir Knight!

[nicocism]

Um, because they're cute and they always give you away?

[Wait what was that first part]

Do you want me to be your knight, princess? [this is the most childish argument ever]

[cutiepanther]

...You think they are cute?

[ How is she supposed to handle that information from Nico? She's never actually gotten a straight forward compliment like this. ]

I definitely didn't say that, you called me Princess first!

[nicocism]

W-well, I mean, they're like kitty ears... and they look fluffy and soft...

[NO, SHE'S NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT PETTING MAKI'S EARS, WHY WOULD YOU EVEN SUGGEST THAT]

And you're the one who's making a big deal of it!

[cutiepanther]

I guess it's only natural, you really can't help yourself around cute Pokemon, can you?

[ Maki moves her hands away slowly, if only to twirl her hair instead, her face a little red. ]

T-That's because it's not normal coming from you!

[nicocism]

Y, yeah, they're like a pokemon's! So... that's why!

[It's not like anything attached to the ears is cute either!]

Is it normal coming from someone else?

[cutiepanther]

Is that the only reason?

[ Maki has no thought that Nico likes her or anything, aside from her ears, but she's still feels like Nico isn't being completely truthful at all. Take it from a liar, she knows what a lie sounds like. ]

Well, maybe, it depends on the person!

[nicocism]

What other reason would I have, huh?

[WOW MAKI DON'T MAKE THIS WEIRD.]

Yeah, well I doubt you know any real knights in shining armor.

[cutiepanther]

I don't know. You're not an easy person to understand.

[ YOU MADE IT WEIRD FIRST! ]

...That's not exactly true. [ Yeah, Maki is going to blush and look away, much like she always does when she's hiding something. ]

[nicocism]

[Nico is just going to. Make a face at all of that.]

You're one to talk.

[cutiepanther]

I-I am not.

[ Just going to stry and pretend that Nico isn't right. ]

[nicocism]

Then what's this about knights then? Or are you still caught up in that dream?

[cutiepanther]

It's nothing, it doesn't have anything to do with you!

[nicocism]

See what I mean? You're so weird.

[cutiepanther]

I-I am not! It's just...there's someone already who calls me Princess..

[ And from the way it sounds, Maki doesn't really hate it. ]

[nicocism]

[Nico just... makes a face.]

Ew.

[SO MATURE.]

[cutiepanther]

I'm sorry that you're too immature to be able to understand!
