~ Eevee

Sylveon bought me a floatie for my birthday, while Riolu bought me a towel with cherry blossoms. I was so happy I suggested we all go to the hidden lake in the woods to go swimming.

"I didn't know there was a hidden lake. And isn't it kind of cold to go swimming right now in November?"

"That doesn't mean we shouldn't try it at least once Riolu. Come on what do you guys say?"

"Once can't hurt but I just don't want to get sick afterwards."

"Oh come on Riolu it's going to be lots of fun!!! Is Sunday alright with you?! I'm telling ya it's gonna be a blast!! Come on please!!"

"Alright fine. Let's all meet up at the station on Sunday and you all can show me the way."

"Hooray!! I'm so excited!!!"

I admit, me loving the water is still very surprising. And since I still can't quite swim yet, I'm going to be needing that floatie that Sylveon bought.

*Sunday, November 24; 4 days after Eevee's birthday

"Uh...What am I looking at guys? Where's the entrance?"

"Right there."

I said pointing at the bush to crawl through into the abandoned forest.

"You mean that little gap there?"

"Little? Even I can fit through there. Watch."

Sylveon crawled through the bushes getting a little dirty as he went.

"This hole is smaller than I remember. I'll fix it when we start heading back."

"Why not fix it now? We can wait."

"Alright then hold on."

Sylveon squeezed through leaving us there to wait. We heard the sound of branches breaking for about a minute until Sylveon poked his head out and said, "Fixed it, come on guys."

I crawled through first and was greeted to the familiar woods I haven't seen since June.

Riolu hesitated at first but then followed suit. Upon first glance Riolu looked around the woods in surprise.

"Wow these woods are huge. I'm surprised this doesn't belong to anyone."

"If it was we wouldn't be able to have fun in it. Come on let's go!"

I grabbed Sylveon's paw and yanked him to the stream twenty feet away. Riolu taking a while to catch up to us.

"Eevee, you dropped your bag!"

"Oops, sorry about that Riolu."

He handed my bag back to me as we made our way to the sound of running water.

"Pretty peaceful."

"Yes it is."

I touched the tree with my paw and smiled at the memories of seeing this place for the first time.

"Whoah! This lake is so enourmous and blue! Wow..."

Sylveon just nudged Riolu a little and he splashed into the water.

"Hey! Sylveon! That was not cool dude, this water is cold!"

"Hahahaha!!!"

Sylveon perfectly dived into the water. He stayed under for a bit, and rose back up after being underwater for about 10 seconds.

"The water is great!! Come one Eevee dive in!"

"Are you crazy?! I can't I- Whoah!"

Sylveon ribbons grabbed me before I could react and he tossed me into the water with ease.

It felt like I just fell into a pool of ice.

I rose up struggling to staying above water and keep myself warm.

"Oh Eevee, I'm sorry. I forgot you can't swim yet."

Sylveon swam over to me and pulled me close to keep me above water.

"Puah!!! Yeah right you did! This water is freezing!"

"Hehehe, It's not so bad. You guys just need to get used to it. But you little spark will be riding with a floatie for now."

"I'm not a baby, Sylveon."

"I suppose you want to swim back on your own to get the floatie, right Eevee?"

He pretended to let me go but I still acted like he was actually serious about dropping me.

"Alright you win. Just don't drop me."

"I was kidding Eevee. Of course I'm not just going to drop you like that."

"Good. Umm are you okay Riolu?"

"Fine. Just trying to get used to the water. I don't know how Sylveon makes it look so easy."

"Just keep swimming around and you eventually get used to the temperature. Right Eevee?"

"Uh right. Can you put me down now?"

Once he was close enough to shore, I slid out of his arms and walked on over to get my pink floatie. But when I tried using it I just slid out of it in a plop.

Riolu and Sylveon went into hysterics when I stood back up soaking wet.

"Well excuse me for not knowing how to use this darn thing!"

They laughed even harder at my comment.
