A slight drizzle came down over the St. Gingervine Memorial Cemetery on the far outskirts of Lavender Town in the region of Kanto. A small, but well kept cemetery, it was home to only family member of the residents of Lavender Town. It was not the place one would expect to find a high class looking, besuited, fedora wearing glameow such as one Gabrielle Jaide to be spending time. Yet, every year, the young feline would travel from her home outside of Viridian to visit the graveyard in Lavender. For years she had wondered why the person she was visiting was buried here. For years she had asked her remaining family: her father and, until her own death, her grandmother. For years, neither had bothered to explain. Only saying that it was were she had wanted to be buried
Now. . .now she knew. She didn't know everything, that was why she had come to Lavender this time, but she knew why one Gabrielle Jasmine Jaide,her mother, was buried here. She knew a secret that had been kept from her for her entire life.
She knelt on the edge of the grave in front of her placed a hand on the ground. Words came to mind, things she wanted to say. Things she needed to say. And yet, the words never reached her mouth. The feelings that had built up over the past few months came to a boil and tears formed in her blue eyes. They streaked down her cheeks and then joined the rain falling on the wet ground.
How long Gabby stayed, crying in front of her mother's grave, she couldn't say. At length the tears finally stopped falling. Her throat hurt, sore and dry from her sobbing. She sniffed and wiped her eye with the back of her jacket sleeve. She looked at the gravestone in front of her with bloodshot eyes.
"I'm sorry you had to see me like that, mom." The words came out of her mouth in a hoarse whisper. Each word was a pain to form and yet, she had to speak them. She didn't care that there was no chance for her departed mother to hear them, they just had to be said. If only to give her some peace of mind.
"I'm sorry for not coming by on Mother's Day. I was busy. I, uh, I met someone." She rubbed the back of her neck. "His name is Eric, a linoone I go to school with. His mom once did some fights in dad's promotions. She was a freelancer so she never committed herself to any one promotion, unlike you.
"Was it your choice that dad never told me that you were an espeon? Was it dad's? I guess it doesn't matter now." She sniffed again and tried a weak smile. "So many questions I'd love to ask you now, but I guess that's impossible, huh?
“I met some from your side of the family not long ago. Your sister's children. Their juniors at school. I guess they are okay. Not as well of as I am, but then, that doesn't matter. They're happy and both are pretty friendly. I think you would like them. Maybe even welcome them as family as I have.”
She sniffed again and stood up. Her face was muddy and any makeup she had on was slightly smudged and smeared, her slacks covered with water and mud and grass stains. She straightened out her suit jacket as best she could and adjusted her fedora.
“I guess I should be going now,” She smiled a bit. “I'm meeting with the Parcs family, your sister. I'll try and stop by afterwards.”
She smiled and then started to pad off. A slight chill ran down her spine causing the glameow to stop. The urge to turn around briefly flashed through her mind, but she knew that she should dally any longer and wrote off what she had felt to her imagination.

Ahh, I remember this one.

And it's you! How are you, gentlemen? :B Not dead, I see.

Interresting.
