*Red gave a forced chuckle in embrassment. (Blue was harsh about the last comment.) Grabbing his flip phone back from Blue, he looked at it for a moment. The phone had a cute minifigure Charizard keychain worn down from age. It was a parting gift from his mother before he headed off his journey. He looked over his contacts list, the one at top read: 'Mother'. Taking a deep breath, Red decided to gather his courage to call her. **Ring ring** The room fell into a moment of silence.*
"Mom, it's me Red. Sorry for not calling for a while", Red lowered his voice. 
"Please don't be mad at me", he turned his back to Blue and Iris. 
"I'm at vacation right now. I promise to call you back as soon as possible."
"I love you", he closed his phone and turned around.

Although Blue and Iris couldn't necessarily hear them, from the sound of it she really wanted to talk more. His mother's tone seemed distressed, worried but relieved once Red asked her to not get so upset. Iris seemed to worry less herself. Red's voice was low, but somehow really soothing. 

 "It's about time; your poor mother is probably in tears by now! You don't wanna end up like your dad," Blue joked. "But really, keep in contact with your loved ones! Who knows Iris might get another guy if you ignore her!" He pointed at Red half serious. "And I might just get another rival!" 

"I won't abandon Red!" Iris furrowed her eyesbrows. "But after vacation, you'll keep in touch right, Red?"
Elizabeth
*Red gave a sigh in relief. After the chat with his mother, Blue's fury seemed to die down. By the look of Iris' face, he could tell that she still seems worried.*
"I'll keep in touch with you", he placed a hand on her shoulder, smiling. 
"What's your phone number?", he pulled out his flip phone.
Julia
Iris hopped out of the bed and looked through her bag taking out a pastel pink colored watch with a screen on it. It looked rather heavy looking for a girl her size. "I haven't gotten the latest gadget, but it's an Xtransceiver! Maybe I'll switch to a Rotom phone at some poiint!" She laughed as she looked through her contact info to get her number. After finding it she said it out loud, she noticed Blue was typing in her number as well. 

"What's with the look? It's not everyday you get the Unova's Champion phone number," He hummed putting his phone away after inputting it. "Besides if Red doesn't respond in a while you can get on his ass for it."
 
"No I'm fine with that! It's just that-" Iris paused. Out of everyone with the most updated device it's Blue. He has one of those new fangled light weight phones that might break easily. 

"Don't feel bad Iris. You aren't bad as Red," He snickered pointing at his flip phone. "Red! You're the Kanto Champion for Pete's sake meaning money is raining. The least you could do is treat yourself to something nice."
Elizabeth
*Looking at Iris' Xtransceiver, he felt less bad about keeping his phone. Now he got her number, the boy didn't have to worry about losing contact. Red shook his head at Blue. His old flip phone works fine. If by any chance it breaks, he would buy a new one. (He wasn't the type to buy new things.)*
Julia
"Man you're a cheapskate! Both of you," He sighed at Iris. "Did your old man take charge of your bank account?" 

"I have pretty much everything in my savings account, it's called being frugal not cheap," She crossed her arms. "It's better than being extravagant and wasting everything on one go! It works till it breaks."
Elizabeth
*Red laughed, ruffling his hair. Iris was right about that! It's good to save money even through extreme means. (No wonder this kid preferred to stay in the cave of Mt. Silver than pay for a hotel. He didn't even want to spend money on food...)*
Julia
"Sure sure, just don't get the same habits as Red," Blue shrugged, he forgot the flower they gave them was still on his hand. Iris motioned for Blue to wear it. As girly as it was, he put it on anyway. He appreciated that they greeted him so nicely (even though most of it was Iris's idea). 

"You look so cute Blue!" Iris clapped her hands. "It really suits you! You kind of look like Shaymin," She laughed. Blue's face flushed a light pink color. That was either a compliment or mostly an insult.
Elizabeth
*Red covered his mouth, trying to contain his laughter. He couldn't help himself and bursted out laughing. The boy fell onto the floor with that wide grin of his. After a few minutes has passed, Red wiped his tears from his face.*
