Hey, it's Pidge. Can't answer right now-- Rover quit it! --so leave a message and I'll get back to you when I can.
Rover, what did I say--?!?!

[Space lion Jesus why is this difficult...]
Right.
So... sometimes when you’re... in a different place, time or... situation. Your... uh. Interactions with people change. They get more relaxed. Sometimes.
[Both Luna and Kuro are giving him a sideways look now. Seriously Dad?]

You... could say that.
But it’s not bad! It’s a good thing. I... just wanted to give you an idea of. Timeframe.
How long it’s been and how. Things change.
[The Pokémon have expressions identical to Pidge right now.]

[She keeps switching between looking at Shiro and looking at his two Pokémon. Because she's pretty sure they'd be better at this than Shiro is proving himself to be.]
Uh- Sure?
You know I don't- It's okay that everyone's from different points along the timeline. I don't mind.
[Is that what this is about?? Pidge is starting to think she'll never know.]

[This is the point where Red the Incineroar and Blue the Gallade poke their heads into the porch to watch the show. Blue takes one look around and ... in a move he probably picked up from Lance... mashes his weird Gallade hands together. Trying to mime putting a finger into a fist. Red stares at him for a very long disdainful while.]
Yeah — yeah I know that. This isn’t about that. It’s... about how things change while people are... here. Interacting.
[FOUR Pokémon roll their eyes.]

[FOUR Pokémon roll their eyes.]
I... yes. That's generally what I mean. People getting along... more than getting along.
[Blue just keeps doing what he's doing. Finally, alongside him, Red sighs. Her Incineroar paws aren't really suited for this either, so she just mushes her fists together. Like two mouths kissing.]
[She looks incredibly bored.]

[Pidge is definitely paying more attention to the Pokémon right now. Because they're a lot easier to understand than Shiro is. They've dropped great hints and Pidge has absolutely picked up on them.
But why is this so hard for Team Leader, here?]
Right. Like how friendships are formed.

[Kuro the Aggron isn't helping with gestures. He's just here for moral support. Looking at his trainer, then at Pidge. And back again. Seriously, dude. You can say this to Lance and Keith but not her?]
And... more than friendships.
And... more than friendships.
And... that's... what I'm trying to say. Happened.
Is happening. Here. In this timeline.
[The pokemon have not stopped. Green has been attracted, now, peering over the top of Kuro's head.]

I... mean.
I mean more than friends.
[Oh boy. Now there's a Marowak peering up onto the porch too. Clearly, everyone wants to hear this information.

...
Good talk, Pidge!
[Oh my god, Shiro.]
[Literally every pokemon gathered at the porch looks like they want to simultaneously strangle him. Including Haunter the Gengar. Who is standing in the doorway, blocking its trainer's path.]

... If I say "yes", you're going to shoot me down, aren't you.
[His pokemon nod.]
[Several times.]

Sometimes, the people you knew on a tiny spaceship were the person you wanted to be closer to all along?
[Haunter looks sidelong at Pidge, shaking its whole... self. It's so ashamed of its trainer right now.]

... really?
I thought that one was clearer.
[This just makes Blue and Red step up their hand motion game.]

It's cool. Don't worry about it.
[Lance wasn't too tilted about Shiro being the only one who remembered. Keith doesn't know anything and Matt isn't that acquainted with Lance to even know when his birthday is to begin with. He just assumed Pidge was tied up in settling in, catching up with her brother, and upset about losing her other tech buddy, Hunk. It also helps that Lance is still convinced he's the forgettable and replaceable guy on the team, so having people just bypass the day he came into existence seems part and parcel of the plan.
That's why he's surprised Pidge answers so quickly.]
Really? [Lance sits up to make sure she's not like trolling him or anything.] You really wanna go?

[Pidge will never not be amused by the way Shiro's Pokémon have chosen to communicate with her.]
It was grammatically incorrect, so it was just confusing.
[Does pointing that out make it too obvious that Pidge is getting into trolling territory? She hopes not.]

[She just rolls her eyes at him a little - though she's not sure why on Earth he sounds so damn surprised.] Yeah, I just said I'd go, didn't I?
[Lance is a lot of things, and sometimes he's definitely Too Much and more than Pidge can make herself deal with. But he's also one of her closest friends and completely irreplaceable. It's easy for her to forget that he's not from the same point in time as she is because he's still so Lance, but in a lot of ways it's a shame he doesn't remember all the stupid things they've done together on the castleship.]
When were you planning on going?

[It was perfectly clear to him!]
[Haunter sighs. Kuro sighs. The ghost actually vanishes for a minute.]
