There was a stubborn look on Bruce’s face. He looked at the berry, than to the yellow mouse, his lip curling into a sneer. Shaking his head, he growled,<span style="font-style: italic">”Buzz off!</span>” She wanted to be friends? Well, he was not willing to see that happen. To make it even more clear that he was unwilling to be her friend, or at least not easily swayed, he squashed the berry.<br/><br/>Daisy flew over and pecked him hard on the head,<span style="font-style: italic">“Hey! That was mean! You’ve been a meanie face this entire time… Stop it!</span>She pecked at him again, and then a third time. Bruce lashed out at her, and she backed off slightly.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">“I agree,”</span>Elliott chimed in quietly. He was looking at both of them with a stern look, looking at Danielle, who was happily lost in her thoughts while she ate, every now and then. He spoke quietly so he didn’t alert her that something might be wrong.<span style="font-style: italic">“Don’t be a jerk, Bruce! She’s part of the team whether you like it or not.”</span>He was tired of the childishness of the male Nidoran, and planned to end it once and for all.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">“Elliott’s right… Lulu’s right. Let’s just all be friends.”</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">“Please, Bruce. Think of Danielle, too… and, well, I’d rather not see you sit out of any gym battles in the future.”</span><br/><br/>Bruce snorted, and received a glare from both the Pidgey and the Bublasaur. Eventually, he rolled his eyes and let out a sigh,<span style="font-style: italic">Fine…”</span>His words were somewhat half-hearted but there was a hint of promise in his tone nonetheless. They all had to get along sometime, might as well start now. He looked to Lulu and said,<span style="font-style: italic">“Sorry I squashed the berry.”</span>
