The day that Vaniville Town was leveled was the day Sam could say she knew true heartache. Everything she had come to call home was gone. Her and her mother's little house, the yard with an even littler house for Rhyhorn, the house with the annoying window that was placed just so the sun would shine in her eyes in morning, was gone.
What she wouldn't give right now to be back in her room and to have her mother's annoying Fletchling fly through that equally annoying window to peck on the head to wake her up. But that was all gone now, and she would do as she did before when she first moved to Kalos. She would conquer the unknown and would eventually be okay. She still had her friends and mother and that, that was the most important thing.
Sam found herself with one of these friends now at Aquacorde town. Her friend, Shauna. Happy go lucky Shauna. Before she might have found the over abundant joy to be rather pesky, but now she was quite thankful for it. Having sucha peppy friend certainly made things better.
"C'mon, Sam!" Said friend grabbed her blouse's sleeve and urged her to follow. "We have to meet with the others!" Sam just silently nodded before following.
