She wobbled out as fast as she could though it seemed the elevator doors were faster, closing and snagging the leaf that was supposed to be her hair in the doors.
“Lilligant!” she cried, stumbling back a step and feeling the pain of it tug on her scalp. Ouch! Geez I’m too slow..! Sorry..! She couldn’t reach the button to open the doors again either, staying back to not hurt herself further.
Oh crap! Violet heard Katelynn’s distressed cry and sensed her pain, and hurried back over to her trapped friend. “Oh, uh, hold on!” She hit the button again, hoping the doors would open quickly, without hurting her in the process. “Just hold still …”
Fortunately, she’d acted fast enough, and Katelynn was soon freed. “Are you okay? Maybe you’d better lead the way,” she added.
T-Thanks.. she thought, moving forward toward her apartment door. She didn’t have her key on her, wondering if the door was open instead and knocking on it, chirping loudly.
“Lilligant!” she cried, feeling rather miserable and wondering if Jack was going to be confused by her voice.
Wrapping her leaf hand around the knob, she tried turning it but of course it was locked.
Jack was, ironically enough, working on a piece of art that looked like a plant coming to life and ripping itself up out of its pot plant. He heard a voice outside the door and the familiar sound of foot steps. The voice, though, was familiar. “Violet?” he asked himself as he got up and away from his work bench and pulled the door open. First one he noticed was the dark skinned girl, of course, and smiled faintly in greeting. “H-hey Violet how are y-y….” then he stopped since he spotted Katelynn or, by his rights, a pokemon.
He yelped and stepped back, green eyes wide. “W-w-what’s going o-on?” he asked.
