[The Video is rushed as Minnie hurriedly turns it on, standing outside in the chilly weather of Saffron. Scrooge, now an evolved Noctowl, flaps behind her with great confusion, wondering why his owner is so excited.]

Oh, everyone, I can't believe I almost forgot! I was battling some wild Pokemon with Scrooge here, and then they used Attract, and that reminded me about next month - Valentine's Day! With the training and helping birthdays, I really lost track of time. But now that I remembered, I'm back on track, and I'm ready to get started. So if you want some Valentine's chocolate, just let me know, and I'll start cooking!

[Scrooge calmly lands on her shoulder, and nudges her cheek with a wing.]

Huh? What? Did I forget something else?

[Scrooge gives her the Pokemon equivalent expression of :| ]

... Oh! That's right! Some people here might not know what Valentine's Day even is! [She looks back the Pokegear now doubly excited.] Why, it'll be their first Valentine's Day! Heeheehee! it's a special holiday on February 14th, next month! It's a day to celebrate love and romance... You make special chocolates for those you hold closest in your heart, and if you have a sweetheart, you spend the day doing wonderfully romantic things. it's one of my favorite holidays~!

[For those interested in Action, Minnie and Scrooge will be in and out of stores and the mall to buy baking ingredients.]

[She goes back to... absolutely emotionless deadpan face, if that counts.]

I was supposed to live on inside him... be with him always.

But I came here instead.

[her_mouse_jesty]

You still are. You'll always be together, in each other's hearts, no matter where you are. Keeping him in your thoughts, keeping him in your memories, you're never really apart from him.

[video]

[springoflife]

... Is that so?

[This time, she doesn't sound disinterested or bored, but genuinely curious.]

[video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

It is so.

[She holds up one hand, showing off her wedding ring.]

The one I love will always be with me. We are never truly apart. And I bet the one you love still keeps you close in his heart... that he always thinks about you.

[video]

[springoflife]

... He thinks about me...

[She closes her eyes for a moment.]

... Perhaps you're right.

[She just outwardly agreed with her. Wow. Consider yourself successful, Minnie.]

[her_mouse_jesty]

[disney magic strikes again!]

I'd like to think so, heehee.

[video]

[springoflife]

You have one, too.

[Not necessarily a question.]

[video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

I have one what?

[video]

[springoflife]

A person you love.

[video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

Oh, yes! My husband, Mickey Mouse. He's waiting for me at home.

[video]

[springoflife]

... Are you not afraid?

[video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

... What would I be afraid of?

[video]

[springoflife]

Attachment.

Growing to love somebody... and then losing them.

[video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

That is scary... but I think my life would be much sadder without knowing him, even if it meant losing him.

[video]

[springoflife]

...

[That's an interesting view, one that she would have never understood or even given consideration a few months ago... but after what happened right before she came to Johto. she's almost inclined to agree.

Almost.]

I see.

[video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

[She just keeps on smiling.]

What's your name, dear? mine's Minnie Mouse.

[video]

[springoflife]

...

[She really doesn't like talking to people, much less sharing her name... but this conversation has proved somewhat interesting, so she may do it this once.]

Chidori.

[video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

[too bad, you are now bffs.]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Chidori! My name is Minnie Mouse.

[video]

[springoflife]

[Fuck her life.]

I'll remember that.
