Note's eyes shut and he kissed her a little harder. One hand cupped her cheek, brushing aside a lock of her platinum blonde hair. All he wanted was her right now; the world around them melted away, became secondary, to her.

Ellie felt a shiver crawl down her spine as Note gently cupped her face, pressing his lips against hers a little rougher. She craned her back and finally gave in to the urge to wrap her arm around his neck, pulling him against her, their chest squished against each others.

An electric bold rocked Note's entire body. His free hand wrapped around her waist and he pulled her into his lap, pressing their bodies together until they couldn't be any closer.

["I think we're almost there,"] Solitaire barked to the dark wolf beside him. ["I can almost smell that old hound."]
Zane looked over his shoulder at the Houndoom before slowing down to a steady halt. There was the condo. He exchanged a nod with Milo and reached toward the knob.

Nikki's tail wagged shamelessly as she kept pace with her companion. "[He'll hardly recognize us,]" she ventured proudly, sticking her chest out and smiling a toothy grin.
Tunes glanced over her shoulder at the Houndoom and Mightyena as Zane opened the door. Were they going to follow them right into the condo? If so that would almost confirm her 'abandoned' theory, wouldn't it?
She walked into the the apartment but stopped short when she saw her brother and Ellie on the floor. Note had not yet seemed to notice them. Her face reddened and she stiffened. "Oh, for the love of Arceus, Eli! You could have at least put a sock on the door or something!" she vociferated.
Note nearly jumped out of his skin at the sound of her voice. He leaped back, pulling away from Ellie quickly. His face flushed in embarrassment and he wiped his mouth dry. His hand lingered over it.

Ellie heard the door creek open and a mixture of dread and hope flushed her thoroughly. Good, the twins were home safe and sound. Shit, she was screwed in every direction.
Zane busted into the room but quickly recoiled. "Holy shit! Ellie?" he gaped, though he knew offhandedly that of course it was his sister. His face reddened just from what he'd walked into and he kicked Milo out, intent on shielding his little brother's eyes.
Solitaire wiggled his way into the room just when the blond male had drawn away from the girl. He turned to look at Nikki, a smirk on his face. "[Heh! Look what we just walked into.]"

Note's hand shifted from his mouth to cover his whole face as it turned a flamboyant shade of red. He pulled his knees to his chest and his forehead slumped against his knees.
Tunes turned on her heel and marched back out of the room. When she saw the dumbfounded look on Milo's face her face turned another shade redder. "You don't want to see what my brother and your sister are doing in there," she muttered.
Nikki regarded the two blondes befittingly. "[Humans are disgusting. Where is Don?]" She sniffed the air, but his scent was if there at all, stale and old.

Ellie swallowed a lump in her throat, getting to her feet and brushing off her jeans. She coughed a few times and tried to retain a dignified look all the while dying inside. "Glad you're home safe."
"Glad my ass," Zane snorted, reaching back and covering Milo's ears. "You were too busy drowning in Note to think about us, huh?" he grunted, though his objection was more of a tease. He was capable of taking care of himself -- Ellie didn't need to protect either of them. Still, being her little brother, it was his duty to frustrate and humiliate her at times.
Milo's eyes widened as hands do not usually do justice in trying to hide someone from hearing something, especially with a voice as loud as Zane's.
"[Yeah, horny bastards. I wonder what woulda' happened if we hadn't appeared when we did,]" he cackled, looking at the blond male. "[That's the son-of-a-gun who has Don. I remember that face.]"

"Eli, you are such a dog," Tunes muttered flattly, shaking her head. She knew something likie this was bound to happen eventually, but it pissed her off that neither of them had had the decency to alert the rest of them to it in some way. I mean, really. Would it have been that big a deal to put a sock on the damn door?
"Bite me, Em," Note muttered into his knees without lifting his head.
Tunes smirked. "No, I think I'll let Ellie handle that."
Nikki stared at the blonde male, whose face was more or less hidden now under his knees. She was not sure if she had ever seen him before, but Donetello had described him in detail: yellow, spikey hair, a little awkward, a pushover. That seemed to be what she was seeing.

Solitaire pushed past the blundering female and over to the fiery male. He patted his knee a few times with his paw in order to get his attention. "[Yo. Stupid,]" he barked, though clear the human wouldn't be able to understand a word he was saying.
At Emily's statement, Ellie hid her face. Little siblings were so ruthless!

Note blinked and slowly lifted his head. He started at the sight of the Houndoom, and for a long minute he returned Solitaire's stare blankly. Something like recognition flickered in his eyes and he slowly drew back, momentarily forgetting his monumental embarrassment. His gaze shifted to Nikki, who stood behind Solitaire patiently, and then back to the Houndoom. "Where, uh, where did these guys come from?"
"They followed us out of the ghetto," Tunes replied, crossing her arms.
Note's brow furrowed, but he didn't take his eyes off the strange fire dog. "Why were you in the ghetto?"

"Cause I'm a nut," Zane returned casually, hands stuffed in his pockets. "But, good thing. It's apparent these two want something from you, if you'd be able to spare a valuable moment of your making-out-with-my-sister to help these two," he grunted, a brow raised.
Milo looked at his brother absently, only to receive no response. Whaaatt...
Solitaire looked back at Nikki and rolled her eyes. "[This kid can't connect two plus two.]"

Note scowled- mostly to himself -and turned toward the two stray dog Pokémon. He assumed they wanted to see one of his Pokémon, but he wasn't sure which one. Seeing as Judis and Victoria had never lived on the streets, it couldn't be one of them. Elliot had never been to a city before he was with Note, but he had been on his own a lot... But he thought Donetello and Vivian were their most likely aim.
Well, Don wasn't here. So he went with his second option.
"Vivian!" he called, lifting his head and looking toward the bedroom. He waited, but the Umbereon mutant did not emerge. He sighed and slowly stood up and walked to the room. Vivian was sitting on the bed, her toes dangling off the edge. She looked back at him nonchalantly. It didn't surprise him that she just didn't get up. He didn't know why he ever expected her to listen.
"Come out here, Viv. Just come out here for a minute," he asked in exasperation.
Vivian's lip curled in a sneer, but she slowly rose and trotted past him, leaving Chance on the bed. After a moment he jumped up and raced after her.
She walked into the main room and stared at the Mightyena and Houndoom for a moment. Then she raised a brow. "[Oh, you're Donetello's whelps,]" she said after a minute. "[Just bigger. What the hell are you doing here? Don isn't here.]"
Nikki twitched in irritation. The female that had accompanied Don several years back had always made her feel uneasy. Now, was she really their only chance of finding Donetello? "[Tell your human to get him for us!]" she snapped.
"[And how do you suppose I do that?]" EV muttered empirically. It wasn't that she couldn't if she really wanted to. But she took a bit of delight in making them squirm.
Chance, who had trotted out of the bedroom to only catch the tail end of the conversation, blinked in surprise as he saw the newcomers. Without a word he glided to Vivian's side and sat at her flank.

Solitaire quickly stepped beside his companion, flicking his arrow-like tail. ["I don't know, Bvivbium,"] Out of the two strays, 'Taire had grown a bit better at keeping his temper, though it was clear from his play on her name that he was inwardly as frustrated as his friend. "[Nikki and I know diddly-squat about trainers, y'know. Only know that they're clumsy and treat each other like garbage.]"
The young Houndoom kneaded the carpet floors with his silver claws. "[Can you not be difficult for one sec so we can see the Old Fart?]" he inquired, cocking his head to the side. He knew better than to challenge the mutant in a violent sort of way, as when he was a puppy she'd nearly flipped shit when he'd put his foot in his mouth and complimented her glowing markings by fumbling, "nice body".
Maybe, but not likely, she'd respond a little better to a little bit of kiss ass?

Vivian rolled her eyes and smirked. "[Yeah yeah, I'll get him,]" she snickered, turning back to Note. It wasn't hard to notice the change in her demeanor since she had last seen the street walkers; she had undoubtedly mellowed out. It caught Nikki off-guard.
Vivian walked up to Note and and shouldered one of his legs hard enough to send him falling to his feet. He hit the ground with a startled cry, landing flat on his back, dazed but not overly surprised by the action. He lifted his head off the ground as EV pawed at his side, and he looked down. Her long metal nail caught the slot where Donetello's Pokéball usually was, and she tugged it before looking at the blonde expectantly. Note glanced down at the spot and then let his head flop back to the floor. "Oh. Donetello."
"[Are they all this slow?]" Nikki muttered impatiently, her ears flattening against her skull.
"[Knocking him down probably didn't help,]" Vivian muttered, taking a step away as Note sat up.
