Pollen's POV:

Tikki and I were walking towards the ice cream parlor. Everyone loves going there. Obviously. The two lovebirds run the store. They're a couple. And also birds. They chirp us to death.

"Okay, here's another one," I continued. We were having a challenge to think of the most jokes. I'm in the lead. "What did the female bird say to the ladybird?"

I've been saving that one since Tikki's a ladybug/ladybird, same thing.

"Dunno." She doesn't even bother racking her brains. Cause she has none. I was just joking. If i told that to Tikki she would start a pillow fight.

"I'm a ladybird too! (get it)" We both burst into giggles and got our ice cream.

As usual, they didn't wait for us to choose our flavors. They helped us choose. Tikki got a chocolate peppermint with surprise cheese inside. She said she already got it once. She was reminded of Plagg when she sees it.

The lovebirds are never wrong. This means I am so gonna ship Tikki with Plagg too.

Although it's not exactly smooth sailing when I don't know if the other one likes her too.

Back to the point...I got a milk and honey gelato ice cream. It was coated with honey. Gelato was ice cream that was super soft and melts quickly, so I quickly put a spoonful into my mouth. Rich vanilla ribboned onto my tongue and I tasted the sweetness of the honey. Mmm, delish! Tikki also enjoyed her ice cream. We licked the cones until it was empty and ate those too. Mine was a sugar cone, Tikki's one was a waffle cone.

We chatted the whole way back until we were at Tikki's dorm. I was about to leave when Trixx and Plagg walked in. Tikki stared after them, a strange look on her face. Trixx stared at us. Or me. It was the most awkward two seconds of my life. We all stared at each other.

Trixx asked stiffly, "Tikki, why do you always hang out with Queen Bee?" Tikki looked like she was the ladybug in the middle (i changed it from monkey to ladybug on purpose) . "Pollen's not Queen Bee. She's a fun, nice bumble bee. And she is nice now. " Tikki defended me. I was happy and embarrassed because I didn't use to be exactly as sweet as honey.

Trixx was sighing. "She's a bad influence! See? You're changing already!"

Plagg bit his lip. I said, "Trixx, Tikki didn't change, I did. And I'm sorry for being mean to everyone in the past, I really am." I tried to apologize. Trixx refused to forgive me , though.

"You better get your beauty sleep now, before your face has more wrinkles then it usually does. Then you really have to put a whole lot of makeup on your face, which is fake enough." Trixx's bluntness startled me. I felt hurt. I liked makeup and beauty because looking nice is my thing. A stylish friend is handy at times! But i'm not fake!

Tikki seemed to read my mind. "Don't listen to her. I don't know what happened to her. You should go now." She whispered. I sighed and said goodnight once more.

I flew back sadly.

Tikki's POV:

(sorry guys I forgot about Duusu hehe she'd be here now)

"Trixx, what is wrong with you! You're the mean one now!" I said with my hands on my hips. She stared down at her feet. Plagg looked on.

"It's not my fault i don't like her! Which is why you shouldn't be friends with her."

"Just because you don't like her doesn't mean I don't . You wouldn't listen to her! And I think Pollen is perfectly fine. She might be mean last time, but she changed. "

"I bet she's acting again. She doesn't deserve to be your friend. " Trixx retorted.

I was shocked ! "I don't see her doing anything suspicious or anything. You don't deserve to be my friend if you say that kind of thing. I can choose to have any friends I want. I have good judgement. That's why I'm friends with you. But I'm wondering why now." I didn't know what had gotten into her. She isn't like herself. Trixx is not mean. Trixx does not make me choose who i can be friends with.

Trixx looked equally as shocked. Her mouth opened and closed. Finally she says, "You're my friend!"

I stared at her. "I am . So?"

She shakes her head. "Whatever! You can be her friend all you want. I'm not talking to you anymore!"

"What's going on?" Duusu appeared in the door. "I'm back from training early. I'm getting really good at my throwing. What's up?" But she meant what's up with the heavy atmosphere.

I didn't offer an explanation. Nobody did. Silence.

She looks at Trixx purposely not looking at me and me purposely looking at her trying to figure out what's going on in her mind.

"Well all I know is please make up or something. After the stealing-weapon drama, I CANNOT deal with another one of these little fights. " Duusu simply said. She turned off the light . "Time to sleep."

Plagg was red in the face. Because.. yeah. Let's not bring it up.

We all went to bed, and my stomach felt weird, even after the nice ice cream and cookies.

Trixx's POV:

Great. Tikki is affected with Pollen's manipulation thing.

Now she's another victim. Pollen is just so dangerous. So toxic. So poisonous. She's a friend-stealer in disguise. She just puts up an act to make people feel sorry for her and from there changes them inside out. (And outside in). She's the worst. I can't imagine why Tikki is her friend.

Tikki. She's not my friend anymore.

And just like Plagg apologized to me, she'd apologize to me before we make up.

And promise she never speaks to Pollen again, that is.

Fine, those were lies. The honest truth?

I'M SO SICK AND TIRED OF POLLEN BECOMING TIKKI'S BEST FRIEND AND SHE'S REPLACING ME WITH POLLEN AND NOW SHE DOESN'T HAVE TIME TO HANG OUT WITH ME AND I CAN'T DEAL RIGHT NOW ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS RIGHT AFTER MY BIRTHDAY AND I JUST MADE A NEW FRIEND AND GOT DUMPED AND I ADMIT I AM JEALOUS AND I DON'T WANT TIKKI TO HAVE ANOTHER BEST FRIEND OR SHE'D FORGET ABOUT ME AND HOW DO I KNOW BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!

Sorry. I take a deep breath in.

As Barkk the dog kwami will say: This situation sure is ruff.

(rough)

WOO longest chapter I ever wrote! Hope you're happy ^^ (In total 2019+ words XoX)
