*While walking around, she spotted a familiar face. That was definitely him, Ballonlea'a Gym Leader and friend of hers, Bede. These two always had a tight relationship between them but ask Gloria and she'd have a told you that they were best friends.* "HULLO BEDE!", *Yelled Gloria, waving at him. With a smile on her face, she walked over to him.* "Bede, it's so good to see you." *Gloria hugged him and took his hood off in the process.* "I finally stumbled upon a familiar face, didn't I? 'ere, take that 'ood off, lemme see that beautiful face of yers."

*Well too late for that I guess. Bede turned to look at her. It sure was good to see somebody he knew, just not at the right moment. He just needed some time to himself*
**"What a... Surprise. You somehow managed to crawl into this cesspool we call an Island. What brings? Here to waste time? What, is your brother going to humiliate me one more time?"**
*Bede could tell that it was getting a bit more personal, so he calmed down*
**"Sorry... Didn't mean to lash out like that... It's just that it's been a while..."**
*Bede didn't exactly know what to do at the moment. There weren't many options around them. Besides, he had to go run some errands*
Theresa
"Yuh, I did so!", said Gloria, giving him a thumbs up. Finally, she had made it in the Island of Aces, this secret island reserved only for Ace Trainers, such as her and Bede. Too bad she didn't know what she was in store for her next.*

*Before she could say anything more, Bede lashed out on her. That was uncalled for, she hadn't done anything.* "W-what? Nah, I'm not." *Gloria looked confused. Why was he personally attacking her out of a sudden?*

*Fortunately for her, Bede apologized for his actions and calm downed moments later. Luckily for Bede, Gloria wasn't someone to hold grudges against anyone, even though he was insulting her twin brother. She patted him on the back and wrapped her arm around him, wanting to comfort him.*

"Come on mate, it's fine. No need to worry about a thing. I forgive ya' pal!", *Said Gloria, with a smile.*
Ashley
**"You hold a fair point... It's been troublesome recently..."**
*The hug was unexpected. But this was Gloria so it should have been expected. Hugs felt nice. Maybe because he was barely even hugged as a child*
**"I guess that's your speciality: You're pretty forgiving and that's something you can't change a bit, and that's good"**
Theresa
*Gloria couldn't help but smile at his compliment.* "No, you silly. My specialty is curry!", *Said Gloria, letting out a chuckle and patting the back of Bede's head. She hoped that her joke would made Bede cheer up for a bit. He was always down in the dumps but guess it can't be helped when you've gone as much as he has. Even though sometimes Bede's demeanor was too much for a normal person to handle, Gloria always faced it with a smile on her face and a hug, like today.* 

*Gloria let go off Bede and grabbed his arms, staring at him with a smile. She had just the thing that would made Bede cheer up and get his mind off everything.* "Come on, want to sing Karaoke for you to cheer up? There's a Karaoke Bar in front of us, we HAVE to try!"
