Three days left before classes start again as many students used their remaining days going out with their friends and have fun whenever they could before they go back to school again.

But for the Eevee family, they're spending their remaining days at home instead going outdoors. The house seemed to be quiet since the the Lucario stayed with his family at the Sinnoh region, while their parents, on the other hand, recently left to travel the world, and this time in Kanto.

At the living room…

"Man, there's nothing good to watch at this hour." The Vaporeon said to herself as she continuously changed the channel, slouching on the sofa, clearly nothing to do.

At the Umbreon's room…

"Sweet! Just got to level 14 and I can now use Metal Claw!" Umber was the opposite of bored. Clearly obsessed with this game already.

At Gloria's room…

"Mmm…" The Glaceon was humming while busy sculpting a statue on the floor while another set of statues was placed around her. Obviously, she's been doing her hobby for quite a long time now.

"It really became quiet here since he's gone…" She said to herself as she continued carving another statue.

*CARVE*CARVE* She let out a big yawn and stretched her arms; but when she looked back at her work, she just realized that the face of the statue looked like a fox.

"Lucas…"

At Lily's room…

"Mmm…" The Leafeon was lying on the bed, her eyes closed, and her hands hugging her pillow tightly as she was in a deep imagination.

She began turning from side to side, while stroking her pillow with her hands as she moved her lips as if she's kissing the pillow.

At the Kitchen…

"Hey Esper, what's for dinner?" Flannery asked as she yawned and went towards the refrigerator, but was surprised to see there was hardly any food stored inside.

"Good timing! Can you go buy the grocery for me? I'm planning to make some Baked Macaroni for tonight." Esper replied with joy as she showed the Flareon a shopping list as well as some money.

"Okay." Flannery quickly took the list from her hands and the money.

"Eh? You're not going to complain that I'm going to cook?" The Espeon was surely surprised since she was expecting the usual response from her.

"Nope." Flannery replied flatly and headed straight outside the kitchen.

As she wore a coat, she headed outside with a huge smirk on her face…

'I'm gonna buy some pizza.'

After a good ten minutes of walking…

'Hmm, the wind is picking up today…' The cold breeze swept the streets, draping every person outside with icy, cold snowflakes, although she wasn't too bothered by it.

Flannery reached the entrance of the local pizza shop as she quickly entered and patted her coat from the snowflakes that piled up, and then went towards the counter and stared at the menu just above it.

After a few minutes, she left the shop with a big pizza box on hand, obviously spent the money that was supposed to be for the grocery. But she didn't care since she was doing it for the greater good of everybody.

She was ready to go back and surprise everybody, especially Esper and started to walk her way back towards the house.

However, while quietly walking through the street, she came across a small alleyway, although she didn't much pay attention to any alleyway she passes through. Something caught her eye…

She stopped in her tracks and stared at what it seems like to be a trash can that has fallen over with its contents spilled on the ground and was partially covered with snow. But, it wasn't the trash can that made her stop, but something else…

*SHAKE*SHAKE* Suddenly, the trash can began to shake vigorously, startling the Flareon which prompted her to move a bit closer to get a closer look.

Flannery was shocked to see a little puppy pokemon coming out from the trash can, dragging a half eaten burger outside and began eating it.

"A Growlithe? It's so cute!" She was quickly mesmerized by the cuteness yet at the same time moved since its fur was dirty and partially covered with snow while the fire type who was now interrupted by her noise as the two stared at each other in the eye.

"Are you all by yourself?" She asked softly, trying not to scare the puppy away as she slowly knelt down and approached it while the Growlithe bent down as it raised its fur and began to growl, but she could see that its legs were shaking due to the cold.

"There, there. You must be cold, do you need a home?" She asked and slowly reached out her hand, smiling at the Growlithe who now felt as if she wasn't going to harm it.

The puppy slowly approached her hand and smelled it while Flannery let it touch her hand with its nose as she could feel the cold wetness of it, until the Growlithe began to lick it slowly.

"Aww… You're so cute…" She was moved again and began patting it on the head and then stroking it on the back while the Growlithe stood in its place and arched its back, somehow wanting more.

"Do you want to come home with me?" She asked again and stared at the puppy in the eye; while the Growlithe's tail quickly swayed as she carried it with one hand.

"Whew, you stink. But don't worry, Flannery will take care of you."

Meanwhile… back at their house…

"Hey Esper, have you seen Flannery?" Vanessa asked as she entered the kitchen and straight towards the refrigerator.

"I sent her to go buy some grocery." The psychic type replied while the Vaporeon was shocked to see the refrigerator almost empty.

"So what's for dinner?"

"Baked Macaroni." The Espeon replied as she pulled out some cooking utensils out of the cupboards.

"Ehh? Have you cooked that before?" The Vaporeon was very surprised.

"Nope."

"You're kidding me right? Do you even have a recipe for that?"

"Nope."

There's a moment of silence between the two as Vanessa could only fear the worse for her stomach.

"Got to call Flannery quick!" The Vaporeon quickly pulled out her cellphone from her pocket and dialed some numbers, but-

"I'M BACK!" She was interrupted when she and Esper heard the Flannery's loud voice.

She sighed in defeat and walked slowly outside the kitchen while Esper smiled and prepared the utensils for tonight's meal.

"WOOT! FLANNERY! YOU'RE A LIFESAVER!" Moments later, it was Vanessa who was shouting, startling the psychic type.

"WOW, IT'S SO CUTE!" Vanessa added another loud noise, prompting the Espeon to go outside the kitchen to see what's going on.

But little did the Espeon know that she's in for a shock…

"WHAT THE?" Esper's mouth was wide open when she saw the pizza box on the dining table.

"I thought you're going to buy the grocery!" She became enraged.

"I'm did this for the greater good!" Flannery said proudly as she made a big grin on her face.

"Yeah, especially since you took over the kitchen after Mom and Dad left." Vanessa added.

"Why couldn't you accept the fact that you can't cook?" Flannery said, this time it really picked on Esper's nerves.

"Why you…" A bright, purple aura engulfed the Espeon's body as the two were suddenly scared.

"Uh-oh, I think we really pissed her off this time." Vanessa said to the Flareon as the two slowly backed away from her.

Esper raised her hand as a glowing purple orb formed from her palm, but when she was about to throw it towards the two, she noticed something touching her legs, prompting her to look down.

"ARF!" A small dog called out to her as it continued to sniff her legs.

"Aaahhh! What's a dog doing here?" She shouted and leaped away from it, causing the Growlithe to run away from her and towards the Flareon's legs.

"Hey! You're scaring it." Flannery said as she knelt down and patted the dog on the head.

"You brought home a stray?" Esper said out loud.

"But it was so cold outside, and I couldn't bear to watch this homeless puppy to live by itself." The Flareon replied.

"What would Mom and Dad say about this?"

"Pfft. They already left and won't be back for a long while."

"Okay fine. But that dog is your responsibility!"

"Of course!" Flannery said proudly.

Suddenly, the Leafeon and the Glaceon entered the dining room.

"What's going on?" Lily asked before she noticed the puppy being stroked by the Flareon.

"Hey, a puppy!" The grass type was quickly moved by its cuteness as she went over it and began petting it.

"But it's a stray…" Gloria said since the Growlithe's fur was partially covered with dirt and snow and an offensive odor to boot.

"So? I couldn't leave the poor thing outside by itself." Flannery replied.

"Where did you find it?"

"I found this poor little Growlithe looking for scraps of food at some trash can."

"Wouldn't Mom and Dad be angry once they find out?" Lily asked.

"Don't worry about it. They have probably left to Kanto by now. They'll never know." Flannery smirked.

"Oh yeah, don't expect us to shell out some money for its food, shampoo and the like." Esper added.

"Fine, fine…"The Flareon rolled her eyes.

"Hey, can you keep an eye on it while I'm going to buy some dog food and some other stuff?" She asked as she went upstairs.

"Ooh, sure." Vanessa happily agreed as she and the others stroked the Growlithe on the back.

"But we still need to bring her to a vet, right?" Lily asked.

"Don't worry. Flannery will do it. She can be responsible on things she really likes." Gloria said.

"Although, that doesn't happen most of the time." Esper added.

"I heard that!" Immediately, they could hear Flannery's voice echoing from upstairs.

An hour later…

"Whew… It's good to be back." Lucas said to himself as he arrived at the Alkia train station. It feels like he's back at the first episode again, but this time, he's looking forward in meeting everyone again.

He walked outside the station with his travelling bag on hand as he was welcomed by a gust of chilling wind and snow, so instead of smooth walk towards the Eevee residence, he has to traverse through the cold and harsh weather.

After a few minutes of walking through the pelting snow, he found himself at the gate of the house; he pressed the doorbell and was eager to see everyone's reaction.

Moments later, the gate opened and the Glaceon peeked and was surprised to see the Lucario.

"Lucas, you're back!" Gloria was surprised to see the Lucario again that she suddenly ran towards him which caught him off guard as she gave him a hug.

"Uhh, yeah, I'm back." Lucas, however, wasn't expecting that reaction, but her cold, yet heartwarming embrace felt kinda good.

"But its kind of late though…" Gloria said as she let go of him.

"Blame my Dad. He couldn't let me leave until I cleaned the whole house."

"Like what?"

"Cleaning the walls, the yard, every household chore he could think of."

"And you did that all by yourself?"

"Yeah. All by myself."

"Whoa." Gloria was just stunned by what he's been through.

"Oh, I'm sorry. It must be cold standing out there. Let's go inside." The Glaceon suddenly realized as she pulled him by the wrist and led him inside the house.

"So who's at the door?" Lily called out as she went towards the entrance with the Growlithe with its fur bright and clean, in her arms.

"L-Lucas?" The Leafeon was surprised to see the Lucario.

"Hey, Lily." Lucas greeted her, but his attention quickly shifted towards the puppy she was holding.

"It's nice to… see you again." Lily said slowly and looked down, still embarrassed to look at him in the eye.

Lucas was at loss of words to say anything for her as he recalled that… incident. Although, his attention shifted when he noticed she was holding something in her arms.

"Whoa, a Growlithe." He said in awe as he approached it and reached out his hand.

*GGRRRR* The puppy growled at him.

"Ehh? What gives?" The Lucario was shocked by its reaction towards him.

"Strange, he was friendly to everyone else." Lily said and stared at the puppy which looked at the Leafeon and tilted his head in confusion.

"Probably because Lucas is also a he." Gloria added.

"Aww, Lucky only likes girls." Lily said and rubbed her cheeks against the Growlithe's head, prompting the puppy to lick her face.

"Lucky, huh? It's a cute name. But why Lucky?"

"Well, Flannery found him at a trash can a few hours ago and considered him to be lucky to be found by her so she decided to name him that." Gloria replied.

"Wait, don't your parents know about this?"

"Well, Mom and Dad just left for Kanto yesterday and they won't be back for a while."

"Oh."

'Why do I feel that Lucky and I won't be in good terms…' He said in his mind, staring at the Growlithe now licking Lily by the neck and tickling her.

"So Lucas, why don't you rest for a while?" Gloria said to him.

"Nah, I'm okay. Let me just fix my things first." Lucas replied as he went upstairs while the Leafeon just stared at him.

"Arf?" Lucky stared at her and reached out his paw towards her face.

"Oh, it's nothing." Lily turned her attention towards the puppy and rubbed her cheeks against his face.

Later, at the laundry room…

Lucas was busy ironing out the clothes, folding and sorting them out as well.

"Hey Lucas! You're back! Talk about good timing as well!" Vanessa said out loud as she entered the room with a basket full of dirty clothes on her hand.

"Since you're here, can you wash these for me? I'm really tired… and it's getting late." She approached him, placed the basket next to him and whispered to his ear.

"It's just nine'o'clock…"

"A girl needs her beauty sleep! Come on, please?" She moved closer to him, pressing her body against his, making him blush by the soft and warm feeling he felt on his back.

"You don't have to beg you know; it's my job after all." Lucas felt uneasy.

"Oh yeah! I almost forgot! My bad." Vanessa moved away from him and patted him on the back.

"It's because you've been staying with us for a very long time that you're like a little brother to me and all…" That statement kind of shocked Lucas since it's kind of unusual and rare coming from her.

"Well, I'll leave you to your duties then. Good night." Vanessa waved at him before leaving him by himself.

"Good night…" He felt strange for a bit but shrugged it off as he continued ironing out the remaining clothes.

*SNIFF*SNIFF* Suddenly, he felt something touching his legs, prompting him to look down and see what it was.

"Oh, it's you." Lucas stared at the little Growlithe smelling his pants and then staring at him in the eye.

"Are you hungry?" He asked as he put the iron away and knelt down, however, by the time he was about to touch him, the puppy moved away and began sniffing the floor.

"Crazy, little dog…" He sighed at the dog as he stood up and continued his work while letting the dog do whatever he wants.

But suddenly, the dog went towards the laundry basket next to him and tried to climb into it.

"Hey, hey… Get away from there." Lucas tried to move him away by using his leg; however, the Growlithe suddenly bit his pants and began pulling it.

"Hey! Let go!" He tried to wiggle his leg free but it caused him to lose his balance and fall on the floor, along with the ironing table on top of him.

"Aw, aw, aw…" Lucas slowly rose up and stared at Lucky who was now busy rummaging through the dirty clothes that Lucas happen to topple over when he fell, and pulled out a bright blue panties from it.

"Hey! Drop that!" The Lucario reached his hand and tried to grab the Growlithe but it quickly sped away from the room with the panties in his mouth.

"That dog is starting to piss me off!" He immediately stood up, raised the ironing table and the basket and then ran after the dog.

"Come back here!" He called out as he saw the Growlithe climbing the stairs, still with the panties in his mouth.

Meanwhile… at the bathroom…

"Eh? I didn't bring my pajamas with me?" The Glaceon was stunned as she stared at the hanger where there was only a towel there.

She just finished her bath and was dripping wet, although drying herself up wasn't the problem, getting out the bathroom with only the towel as her cover was another story, especially since there was a male living at their house as well.

"Bah, why am I worrying about that? Besides, he's still busy doing the laundry…" She said to herself as she dried her whole body with the towel then tied it around her body, covering her chest and her bottom.

Slowly, she opened the door and peeked outside the hallway, and fortunately, no one was there besides her. However, her luck was about to change…

As she stepped out from the bathroom, she suddenly heard some noise coming from the stairs.

"Stop!" She heard Lucas's voice who seemed to be shouting at something, then suddenly, the Growlithe appeared with something in his mouth and was running straight towards her, followed by the Lucario giving chase to it, who doesn't seem to notice the Glaceon since his sight was focused on that dog.

Gloria was just stunned when the Growlithe suddenly jumped towards her with his mouth wide open, letting the panties fall off as she grabbed hold onto her towel and pulled it down as he fell.

"Ack!" Lucas was surprised when he finally noticed the Glaceon he was about to collide with her, he couldn't stop due to his speed; and more shocking is that she was now naked thanks to the puppy undressing her.

*CRASH* The two collided with each other as the impact caused the two of them to fall down the floor, while the Growlithe just watched the two lie helplessly on the ground before he left with the towel on his mouth.

"Aww." Lucas was also in pain, but only to realize where his face was at when he felt pressing against something soft and very cold. He quickly rose up and opened his eyes but only to get the biggest shock of his life.

"Aww…" Gloria rubbed the back of her head as she slowly opened her eyes and looked at the Lucario who was on top on her and was staring not at her face, but below her, prompting her to look down as well only to get the biggest shock of her life as well.

"I'm sorry!" Lucas leapt from her and looked away while the Glaceon rose up and covered her chest with her arm.

"I-It's okay, it wasn't your fault, it's just-" Gloria said as she tried to stand up, placing her other arm on the floor for support, although she touched something.

Curious, she picked it up and was surprised to see the panties she was holding and spread it out…

"This is mine…" Gloria's jaw dropped, her underwear was filled with small holes.

"What's with the noise?" Suddenly, a door opened as the two turned their attention towards it, well except for Lucas who immediately turned away when he saw her bare body, as the Flareon came out who suddenly stopped in her tracks by what she saw.

"Lucas! You're back! And Gloria! Why are you… naked?"

Immediately, Gloria entered the Flareon's room and slammed it tightly, leaving the Lucario alone on the hallway.

"Look what Lucky did to my panties!" Lucas could hear the Glaceon's voice thanks to his heightened hearing sense; although staying there eavesdropping wouldn't be good either as he started to walk away and towards the stairs.

"Ehh?" Flannery was surprised as she spread the panties and saw the small holes made by Lucky's teeth.

"Are you sure about this? Lucas didn't do this?" Flannery said a very stupid excuse that caused Lucas to stumble on his way down the stairs.

"Why the hell would I do that?" Lucas said to himself and sighed as he managed to save himself from a fall.

A while later…

Gloria came out from Flannery's room with a new towel covering her body.

"My little Lucky is innocent. Oh, and look, here he comes now." Flannery said as she pointed her finger towards the puppy approaching them.

"What's he holding now?" Gloria asked as she noticed the puppy with a cloth in his mouth as she knelt down and took the cloth from his mouth.

"W-wait… are those mine?" Flannery's jaw dropped as Gloria spreaded the cloth which looked like black laced panties filled with small holes.

"Lucky here really needs some training…" Gloria said as the two stared at the dog happily sticking his tongue out and wagging his tail at them.

"Yeah…"

*DING*DONG*DING*DONG*

The school bells echoed throughout the Alkia region signaling the resuming of class this school year as students were back at the classrooms, all tired after a good vacation.

"Hey, Lucas. Haven't seen you for a long time. How've you been?" Lee greeted the Lucario with a big smack on the back, causing him to yelp in pain. Sadly, the Lickylicky doesn't know how to control his strength.

"F-fine…" Lucas said slowly, rubbing his back from the pain. Gloria and Lily giggled at the two having a happy reunion,

Although the Leafeon still felt uneasy about the Lucario, maybe it was a bad idea after all…

"Hey, Lily." Gloria called the Leafeon's attention, snapping her back to reality.

"What?"

"I haven't seen Gardenia anywhere." The Glaceon said as she looked around the classroom for the emerald haired pokemon, prompting Lily to look around as well.

"Oh there she is." Gloria pointed towards the door where the Gardevoir just entered as she went straight towards her seat, her bangs were down that the two of them couldn't see her eyes.

"What's wrong with her?" Lily asked as the two continued to stare at the Gardevoir who just leaned against her arm and stared at the window.

"Okay class. Sit down." They were interrupted when the Floatzel entered the classroom as the class quickly quieted down and went back to their seats.

"Have you all had a nice vacation?" He asked with a smirk as the students smiled and nodded with him.

"Good. Because, you have a new classmate to share your stories with." Mr. Fisher said as he raised his arm towards the door as the class stared impatiently to see who their new classmate was.

"N-no way!" Lee reacted loudly as he stood from his seat, causing both his table and chair fall down.

"What's with you?" Lucas whispered to him.

"It's you!"

To be continued…
