"Come on, wake up," I let out a large yawn as the daycare owner's voice disturbed my well deserved sleep. I had to stretch myself from laying around the egg all day. I felt this stiff every morning since the egg arrived. I lifted my head up lazily and could see Luxray doing the same. He had a curious look on his face, and I knew what must be happening. Our trainer must finally be back to pick us up. Or to pick up Luxray anyways. I locked eyes with him and my heart started beating like crazy. It has been getting worse these pasts day as we have gotten a closer bond. I trusted him around the egg now. He wouldn't do anything bad to it on purpose. Was every other mother he was with like that?

"Your trainer is talking to my wife now. I'm sure she'll take very good care of your egg," the human patted me on the head, "I can assure you that she'll treat it with love and care. All pokemon eggs are special. Even if she didn't want it, we'd take care of it until either it comes to live with us, or wants to live in the wild. It's been like this for years now. I've brought my Umbreon Moonlight if you get left here. Unless she wants to bring you along as well."

I let out a cry of agreement and got to my paws. I rubbed against the egg in a silent goodbye. I hope that it lives a happy life. Might even stay in my trainers party. The old man went up to speak to Luxray. Luxray himself gave me a longing gaze as he realized the reality of it all. He tried to act happy around the daycare owner, but I could see that he was going to miss me as well. But he might forget about me. He's been through this before. But this is the first time it happened to me, so he was the one who should be happy.

"Hey you guys!"

I looked up as my trainer ran up to me and hugged me. I rubbed against her face, happy to see her. It has been so long since I've been dropped off. I almost forgot the sound of her voice. She let me go and went over to hug Luxray as well. He looked just as pleased to see her as I was. That was a good thing. The bond between pokemon and their owners was a good thing. At least to me anyways.

"Here is the egg," the owner gave the brown egg to the trainer, "I'm sure that it's really close to hatching. Who knows, you might even get a silver Eevee if you are really lucky." Silver? What did he mean by that? All the Eevee I've ever seen are brown. Maybe it was something that the humans knew that I didn't.

"Thank you. It'll be so cute. A little Eevee. I might train this one up to be a Espeon. They are really neat. Someone I met on the way has a really powerful Espeon. I just admire that skill and grace."

"That's good to hear. I'm sure you can do it. So do you want to bring either of these two with you on your journey?"

"Yes," I felt my heart pound in my chest as my trainer answered. Was this it? Was I going to go back with my trainer after all? I closed my eyes and thought of Luxray and I in the Fields. We wouldn't have to separate and can watch our child grow. Luxray got to his feet and I could see the same hope in his yellow gaze. He nodded slightly.

"Who?"

"Luxray. I'll keep Vaporeon here. I don't have room in my party for her so I'll have to get her later. Maybe in a couple of weeks."

I felt my heart shatter then. I tried not to shake as I felt my throat tighten and tears threatening to swell up. This was what I feared. She really was going to leave me here alone. Luxray looked crestfallen, but followed our trainer and the old man. I wanted to call for Luxray, but it wouldn't change anything. It wasn't up to me. I curled into a ball in my nest and let out a wail. But no one came back. I stopped calling and just laid my head down. This was horrible. Why did it have to be this way? It wasn't fair.

A shadow made me look up in anticipation. Did they hear me and wanted to let me know that I was going to go with my trainer after all? I perked up my head with hope. But it wasn't a human who came, but a pokemon. The first thing I saw were the yellow circles glowing against dark fur. My eyes met with red ones. I recognized what it- or she- was. An Umbreon walked out, her fur fluffed out a bit.

"Who are you?" I got up as she got closer. She stopped in front of me and sat down. She yawned before washing her front leg.

"I'm Moonlight. The owner's Umbreon. I feel sorry for you. The humans could hear you cry, so I came out to comfort you. I know how it feels. My mother was just like you. She was left in this daycare and I was her last child bred. My old trainer was in an accident and couldn't come get either of us. My father was a Flareon. When he found out the news, he escaped from here when everyone was asleep. This was before I hatched, so I never saw him."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be. I got over it a long time ago. My mother had escaped the next day so that she could look for him as well. I don't know what happened to her after that either. But it doesn't matter to me. By the time I was born, I had the daycare couple. They have been taking care of me since. They can take care of you too."

"Thank you Moonlight. I guess I'll have to wait a time to see Luxray again. Why did he have to go?"

"You shouldn't have fallen for him," Moonlight gave me a look of pity, "He isn't going to be the only one to breed with you. It's best not to get attached to any of your partners in here. This isn't a permanent home for most pokemon."

"I know. But I'm young and he's special."

"Other pokemon have felt that way too and other pokemon have gotten over it. I'm sure you will too. I feel like you should get a name. Since you don't seem to have one and I don't feel like calling you by your species. How about Aqua?"

"Call me what you like," I put my head down in depression. I shook my head at Moonlight's words. I didn't want to get over Luxray. I want to end up with him. And the Eevee. She gave me a great idea though. I'd sneak out. But it wouldn't be tonight. I'd have to spend a few days thinking of what I'd do. But it was better than doing nothing. I just hoped that I knew what I was doing.
