[Hello you have reached the phone of one Erika.

You may leave her a VOICE MAIL, TEXT, or just CALL her. Leave the date and time and she will get back to you.]

[RING RING MYSTERIOUS PHONE CALL...]

[natureprincess]

[Oh hello what is this mysterious phone call. She does not recognize this number.]

... Hello?

[distortionnoise.livejournal.com]

[Oh god what has he gotten himself into.]

...Hey. Next time you try to find someone who will actually love you, why don't you look up and realize that you're asking a fucking tree out? That desperate, huh?

[natureprincess]

[... What. There's a bit of stunned silence, and then Erika can only get herself to sound completely baffled.]

... I beg your pardon?

[distortionnoise.livejournal.com]

[Wow. How dense can this person be?]

The tree- The- The bamboo! What, do you want me to retell your whole life's story to you?!

[natureprincess]

That won't be necessary.

[A pause.]

May I ask who is calling?

[distortionnoise.livejournal.com]

The tree you asked out on a date, idiot.

[natureprincess]

...I believe you must have the wrong number. I merely set up the branches for tanabata, nothing more.

[Giratina looks down at the piece of paper (http://hasprettiestmon.livejournal.com/7133.html?thread=212189#t212189) in his hand.]

This is [number], right? Unless my... friend... is an idiot who dialed the wrong number.

[natureprincess]

[Another pause.]

Yes, that is my number. Where did you get it?

[distortionnoise.livejournal.com]

...

...From one of my branches.

[natureprincess]

...

I see.

[stay-classy-cat.livejournal.com]

[Seth looks positively delighted. He's whispering, hush and low]

Ask their name.

[distortionnoise.livejournal.com]

[Giratina hesitates before obeying Seth's command.]

...What's your name?

[natureprincess]

I believe you have yet to answer that question yourself, sir, unless you are truly a tree.

[distortionnoise.livejournal.com]

Giratina. Now answer my question.

[natureprincess]

[There is a surprised little "oh".]

My name is Erika, Giratina. Could you... mm.

Would it be too much to ask what exactly that "wish" seems to be asking for?

[stay-classy-cat.livejournal.com]

[Warren has apparently no concept of personal space and is pushing himself up against Giratina to overhear better.]

[distortionnoise.livejournal.com]

[Giratina is trying to move away from Seth, most likely to no avail.]

What, you can't even bother to remember it? You wanted a date or something.

[natureprincess]

Ah, well, you see I haven't actually written my wish yet. I was curious as to what this mysterious other me would have wanted.

[distortionnoise.livejournal.com]

You're backing out of our date so soon?

[stay-classy-cat.livejournal.com]

[Oh you were terribly good at this Giratina. Good show, keep it up~]

[natureprincess]

[Hrm.]

... I do apologize if that is what you wanted. I'm already quite happily seeing someone...

[distortionnoise.livejournal.com]

Does this someone know you're giving out your phone number to every guy you meet- even trees?

[natureprincess]

[There is a small sigh.]

As I already said, I have not written a wish for tanabata. I'm not sure who wrote that wish, but I never had the intention of doing so.

I apologize for the misunderstanding.

[distortionnoise.livejournal.com]

Well then, thanks for wasting my time.

And here I was, thinking I had finally found the right girl! Way to crush my dreams.
