*the next morning...*

Cilan: *wakes up and streches out*

Chili: Looks like someone is finally up~

Cress: That he is...

Cilan: How long have you both been in here?

Cress: Since last night. You gave me quite a scare last night.

Cilan: Sorry, but the cake looked and tasted sooooo good-

Chili: *cuts him off* So good you ate yourself sick... ^^;

Cilan: *laughs nervously*

Cress: Well, come on breakfest is ready.

Cilan: Yayz! *zooms downstairs*

Chili: ^^;

*in the ketchen, the bros were discussing the plan for the day. See, it was time once again for their annual holiday feast and they wanted everything to go right... unlike the last couple of years... when the food was burnt and a certain fox got his tail fur in the punch for playing around...*

Cress: Ok... so the roast is in the oven... the cake is on its way... and... *feels Cilan pawing his leg* What is it?

Cilan: *has his leash*

Cress: Not now, Cilan. I'm still preparing this to-do list. Maybe later.

Chili: Actually, we can take him for a walk, since we need to pick up our tuxes for tonight.

Cress: Alright. Well, lets get ready to leave then.

*out at the marketplace...*

Chili: Its really weird that out of the three of us, Cilan inharits Dad's DNA, if you know what I mean.

Cress: I know what you're saying, but at least while in his Kitsune form, no one reconizes him, and think that we adopted an oddly colored fox for a pet.

Chili: The people here in Striaton City aren't too bright... but is a good cover for him.

Cress: hmm... *looks at the list* while we're here, we need more food like corn (A/N: see what I did there? F3) , cranberry sauce, cornbread mix, muffins, ect.

Chili: So, we got a lot to get, basicly.

Cress: Eeyup.

Chili: Better get started then.

*later...*

Cilan: *shifts back to his norm self and hides the leash* Arceus, I hate it when that happens...

Cress: I know...

Cilan: Wish Dad was still alive so he could tell me why this happens, and at random times too!

Chili: Well, this is just a hunch, but maybe its your DNA.

Cilan: What about it?

Chili: Our mom was a human and Dad a Kitsune, maybe the DNA codes from both of them are having a hard time deciding on what the structure should be, and that could also lead to why you shift so randomly.

Cress: *jaw drops*

Cilan: O_O

*meanwhile in the Hall of Origin (Pokemon version of heaven)*

Daniel: *in shock* HOW I THE WORLD DID HE FIGURE THAT OUT?!

Samantha: You got me, dear...

Daniel: And that came from our firey tempered donut loving son...

*back at the marketplace...*

Cilan: How did you figure that out?!

Chili: Like I said, just a hunch. *hops away elsewhere*

Cilan: *turns to Cress* Do you think he was spot on with that hunch?

Cress: It would surprise me greatly if he was...

*later at the resturant...*

Cilan: *frowns*

Cress: What?

Cilan: This tux is very uncomfortable... why can't I wear my normal attire?

Cress: We're the hosts, so we have to look presentable.

Cilan: Screw this, I'm going to change! *goes to his room*

Cress: *sighs* Better see what Chili is doing. *goes to the kitchen*

Chili: *notices* Hey Cress, everything is ready to be brought out!

Cress: Good, good! This shall be a holiday feast to remember!

Chili: Wheres Cilan? Don't tell me he shifted again...

Cress: No... he didn't like the tux, so he went to change.

Chili: *sighs* Well, lets get the food out, I'm quite sure the guests are hungry.

*just then some girls squeal happily*

Chili: Wonder whats going on?

Cress: Dunno...

*they go out and see Cilan in his kitsune form nuzzling some girls*

Girl #1: Awwwww! Hes so cute!

Girl #2: *turns and sees Cress and Chili* Why didn't you tell us you had a pet dog?

Chili: Urm... he was a surprise?

Cress: *faking being happy* Surprise! *he then gives Cilan an icy cold death glare*

Cilan: *whimpers and sulks to the kitchen*

Cress: *follows*

Chili: How about some music? *turns up the music to drown out Cress' scolding*

Cress: HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO COME OUT WHEN YOU'RE IN YOUR KITSUNE FORM?!

Cilan: *in a low voice* Its not like anyone noticed me...

Cress: I DON'T CARE! HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN WHAT HAPPENED WITH DAD?!

Cilan: ...

Cress: WELL?!

Cilan: *punches him hard* SHUT UP! JUST JUST SHUT UP! I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED! I'M TIRED OF YOU TRYING TO RUN MY LIFE! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE! I HATE YOU! *runs out of the resturant crying*

Cress: *just sits there in shock* ...

Chili: *notices Cilan run out* Thats never a good sign... be right back with the food everyone! *dashes to the kitchen* What happened?!

Cress: I snapped on Cilan and he snapped back saying he hates me...

Chili: Oh... want me to get the cheesecake?

Cress: *nods*

Chili: *gives him several cheesecakes* I'll go serve the guests...

Cress: *nods quietly as he eats*

Chili: *takes the food out; mentally* I hope Cilan is ok...

*meanwhile at the bakery...*

Cilan: *sniffling while eating pasteries*

Baker: *notices and sets out another plate* Rough night? This is like your third plate...

Cilan: I don't want to talk about it...

Baker: Ok, but I just want you to slow down before you get a stomachache...

Cilan: Then so be it... at least it'll dull the other pain I'm feeling...

Baker: What Pain?

Cilan: The pain in my heart...

Baker: Oh... I see...

Cilan: *gets a to-go box and puts the rest of the pasteries in it* How much do I owe you?

Baker: 20 Pokedollars please.

Cilan: *gives him the money and leaves*

Baker: Poor kid... hope he'll be alright...

*back at the resturant, things were wrapping up with the feast...*

Chili: Thanks for coming and have a nice night!

*the last person leaves*

Chili: *sigh* Closing time... *goes to lock up when Cilan walks in* Oh hey, Cilan... you feel any better...?

Cilan: No... *goes to his room and slams the door hard*

Chili: *locks the door* This is gonna be a loooong hoilday... *retires to his room for the night*

Cress: *comes out of the kitchen after putting the food up* What have I done... I could try talking to him... but I don't want to anger him to the point he attacks me... ohhh... this is so depressing... *goes to his room, sobbing quietly*
