~ Eevee

Riolu has a what? Maybe I misheard it but I can't remember what it was.

"Hold on! What are you talking about Mr. Lucario?!"

Why was dad getting mad? And wow, Riolu is even more pink on his cheeks than before. What is so embarrassed about?

"Dear, now calm down. I'm sure he was only joking-"

"No, I wasn't. I can hear his heart rate going up when he's around her so I assummed-"

"But my daughter is too young for that! Is that all you really wanted to talk to us about, a silly boy's crush?!"

Oh so that's what he said. But if Mr. Lucario really meant it than that means...Augh! This is so embarassing! Because my dad always ends up like this everytime he thinks a guy is trying to ask me out or make a move on me. I hope he calms down soon because this could get messy fast. Any Pokemon who brings something like that up, he doesn't care who it is, he just wants to keep any potential threats away from me that he fears will one day try to steal my heart away without warning.

"No of course not. We just invited you here to make amends for what my daughter did to your Eevee. I just brought up that up because I got irritated that no one else said anything."

Mr. Lucario stated before taking another bite.

"Hon, you're just embarrassing him. You shouldn't encourage it either since their only children. So don't say anything else you might regret."

Mr. Lucario ignored her and just kept eating like nothing was wrong.

Dinner after that was really tense, until the next course that came out was sushi. The conversation seemed to be forgotten by our parents, but it wasn't for me and Riolu.

The thought of him having a crush on me left me surprised. I actually didn't want to know about it.

I still felt sorry for him though because he looked so ashamed about it. I hoped we were still on good terms too.

For desert we finished it all off with a chocolate fudge sundae.

"Mmmmm...So good..."

"Why thank you, Eevee. Everypart of the icecream is homemade so I'm glad you enjoy it."

"Lucy, dear. No need to brag so much. Everything you see needing improvement is already great. They always have been since the day I met you."

"Luke, darling. Cut it out! You're making me blush."

"Oh, how did you two meet?"

"As much as I would like to share it, I am afraid we do not have the time. My son needs to go to bed soon because he will be extremely busy with training tommorrow morning. But if you all will come again soon, we'll be sure to share it with you next time."

"Alright. Well it was fun coming here. And we can't thank you enough for inviting us here today. We can't wait for us to be invited again soon."

"The pleasure was all ours. We thank you for coming."

As we walked back to the entrance, Mom and Mrs. Lucario were dicussing possible plans for the future together. I straggled behind them, when I heard someone whistle behind me.

"Psst! Eevee! Over here!"

I turned around to see Riolu waving me over to where he was still sitting.

"Umm, yes Riolu?"

"I hope you don't hate me Eevee."

"For what? Oh that! Well, I..."

"I didn't want you to find out. And I think it's pretty random considering what's happened."

"No, it's fine. I think we just need a chance to start over. So we'll try just being friends, if that's okay with you."

"It will be very wierd but I think it's okay. I promise to do my best to be a good friend to you. No matter what."

"Aww thanks Riolu."

We both shook paws in agreement.

"Eevee! Where are you? We're leaving now."

"Oh sorry mom. I'll be there in a second."

I told Riolu where we could possibly meet up soon with Sylveon, and that we can begin our friendship there. Riolu agreed as we walked back to the door. Giving me his number so I could call him when it was time to meet up.

"Okay. Bye then Riolu."

"Bye, Eevee."

Me and my parents entered the car and all waved goodbye to them as we drove back home.

"So what was that about Eevee?"

"Just a hang-out invitation. That's all."

"As friends right, Eevee?"

"Of course dad. Nothing more than that. Just relax and trust me okay?"

"Okay."

"If you say so sweetheart. So did you have fun over there?"

"Yes. The Lucario's were so nice that I can't wait until we go back again."

"I know. They were such good Pokemon! Right, dear?"

"Huh? Oh yeah. It was such an honor to eat with them and all, you know."

"Okaayyy."

"The invite to the Lucario's was actually interesting, right dad?"

"Yes it was."

We said nothing as dad drove us home.

I suddenly started getting tired from eating all that food so I let myself doze off in the car. And for the first time in my life I felt sure that my life was going to get a lot more happier now than it ever will be.

(Note : The next chapter introduces completely new characters, whose existence is known by no Pokemon in the world other than the legendaries. This chapter shines a new light on these Pokemon and what they have to live through everyday. I won't be making much chapters for these Pokemon until later on in the series so please enjoy them when they come out. Find out more in my third Special Ch 37 ~ ????)
