~Eevee

*June 19th, 2552

I was sitting at my school desk literally counting the seconds for school to end for summer break. Our class was finishing up the remaining semester exams. Across the room *Eevee appeared to be struggling with her exam.

I sure hope the study sessions paid off.

"Alright time is up. Everyone pass up your exams. They will all be graded momentarily."

I wasn't worried about my test results. I had a feeling I aced it.

*15 minutes later

Mr Alakazam gave me a proud smile as he handed me back my test. I looked at my test score to see a bright red 95.

"Those that recieved a 60 or above will be exempted from taking summer courses in this class. If you have a 60 or above you are now dismissed. Those that do not stay behind while I discuss your summer make-up courses. Have a great summer everyone."

Me and about 16 other students stood up and exited out. I felt sorry for the rest that failed.

I waited outside for *Eevee, and to my relief she came out too.

"Geez I really cut it close this time. I got a 60 on my math exam."

"It looks like studying paid off. At least we can all hang out for summer vacation now."

"You're telling me. I could really use a break after sitting on my ass studying for three weeks straight. By the way what did you get?"

"A 95."

"Augh so lucky. At least you don't have to worry about nearly failing."

"Here's to beach to celebrate us all hanging in there!"

"Alright!"

We highfived on our way out.

*10 minutes laterThe final bell rang and were waiting next to the school entrance for Ryu, Fennekin, and Froakie. A car beeped and we turned to see Sylveon pull up in his SUV and wave.

I shyly waved back and *Eevee gave a polite nod. Sylveon got out of the car and approached us.

"Hey! Did you guys pass?"

"Yup! I aced it!"

"I barely made it, but at least I did. What about you fairyboy?"

"Decently comrade. Decently."

Eevee merely shrugged while we all turned to see the rest of the gang approach.

"Hey! How did you guys do?"

"Never underestimate the aura. Of course I passed."

"Same here. It was fairly easy if you ask me."

"No I flopped."

We all turned to Fennekin in surprise.

"You failed Fennekin? What grades did you recieve?"

She held her head down in shame as she passed me 5 exams with a lot of red x's.

"Let's see a 75. Barely passed this one with a 60..."

"Yeesh a 15 in combat?"

"And a 50 and..."

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! A 30 in calculations?! AHAHAHAHAHAHA! I got an 80 in that one! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

Fennekin flushed an angry beet red as *Eevee laughed at her in a mocking manner. I shook my head as I handed the exams back to Fennekin.

"So I can't go to the beach with you guys, or possibly out for a while. Sorry guys."

"That's okay Fennekin. Hey I'll tell you what! I will help you study."

"Thanks Froakie. Shall we go to the library then?"

"Yeah."

"Oh, do you want me to go with you guys too?"

"No that's okay Eevee. I don't want to ask you to do that for me. It's my fault for failing so I should at least to make it up on my own terms."

"Okay if you're sure."

"Yeah seeya later guys. And you..."

Fennekin turned to Ryu and grabbed his arm. This annoyed *Eevee instantly.

"I won't be able to seeya cutie. So I promise to study really hard for you."

"Oh okay..."

Ryu flushed slightly at Fennekin. I turned to see *Eevee looking like she wanted to punch Fennekin.

Fennekin pulled Ryu down to kiss his nose and then left in a fit of giggles with Froakie following after her.

"Geez the nerve of that girl!!! Am I right?!"

"Yeah what the nerve..."

Eevee looked at Ryu a hurt expression on her face since he was still looking at Fennekin.

I turned to Sylveon with a worried expression, and he quickly took the hint at the tension.

"So you guys ready to go to the beach?"

"YEAH LET'S GO!"

Eevee shouted with clenched teeth and stomped to the car. The rest of us nervously followed suit.

*Xearneas CoveAlmost as soon as we arrived *Eevee ran out to go buy a volleyball. And now her and Ryu were playing in an intense heated game.

A small drop went down me and Sylveon's heads.

"It's probably best to leave them alone for now."

"Yeah that sounds best. Walk with me?"

"Sure."

Me and Sylveon left our belongings in the car and went to walk along the shore. The pounding ocean waves sounded soothing and relaxing as we walked along the waters edge. It quickly brought back a lot of happy memories.

"Remember back when I was afraid of the ocean or even going swimming Sylveon?"

"Hehe. Wow that seems like such a long time ago. But I remember trying to at least coax you into at least stepping in the ocean."

"I'll never forget that day. And the day you saved me."

Sylveon's expression grew just a little bit sadder at me mentioning this but it was only for a moment.

"And thank you for showing me there's more beyond life than being afraid and just trying it out."

He looked at me and smiled sweetly.

"You're welcome Eevee."

We both chuckled as the warm late afternoon breeze blew on our faces and the waves happily bellowed at the peaceful tone.

Looking at each other made my cheeks flare up when I saw how happy he looked. We stopped walking refusing to break the gaze and for a moment it looked like we both wanted to hold paws.

We both reached out and...a volleyball suddenly flew past us and splashed water in our face snapping us out of the trance.

"Whoah!"

"HEY WHERE ARE YOU GUYS GOING?! I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO PLAY VOLLEYBALL!"

We both turned when we heard *Eevee shout and laughed as we headed back to go play a game.

*1 hour later"Phew okay enough volleyball you guys win."

"Yes! Team aura for another win!"

Eevee turned to Ryu for a complicated highfive after defeating me and Sylveon which was Team Mystic.

"Well that was fun! You guys wanna go have a splash now?!"

"Actually no."

"Partypooper! What's stopping you?!"

"My school uniform?"

"Exactly! CANNONBALL!"

Eevee ran towards the waves about to jump when a powerful wave came out of nowhere and overtook her. We all laughed hysterically.

"OH YOU ALL THINK THAT WAS FUNNY?!"

Eevee said as she tossed a Weather Ball in our direction. We all dodged but now it was on.

We casted attacks at each other until the moon was high in the sky and the ocean was up to Ryu's hips.

Whether it was a splash or an actual attack we didn't care we were still having fun.

"Aura Sphere!"

"Quick Attack!"

"Swift!"

Ryu aimed the attack playfully at me. I dodged easily by got splashed by Sylveon's Swift.

Eevee tossed a Shadow Ball which the boys jumped to avoid while I dived even though I didn't have to because it was a Ghost move.

I stayed under and swam until I was right behind *Eevee.

Before she could cast another Weather Ball I tackled her down.

"Oof!"

"Haha! Take that! Ah!"

I dived under again to dodge her Double Kicks as they harmlessly kicked the waves. When I came up again it was just in time to see Sylveon and Ryu be crumpled in the waves.

I laughed hysterically until *Eevee Quick Attacked me.

"Oof!"

"That's for earlier. Ah!"

Ryu suddenly came up quickly behind her and scooped her up.

"Hey! Put me down!"

"No *Eevee I think I'm going to toss you!"

Ryu said before tossing *Eevee in the deep. She came back up quickly looking really pissed.

"You're both going to pay!"

"Try us! Hahaha- Whoah whoah- AAAAHHH!!"

Before we could strike a strong gust of wind suddenly picked up and blew us away into the deep water with *Eevee.

We quickly came up for air.

"Gah!"

"Whoah what was that?"

We all turned to see Sylveon laughing and instantly realized he just blew us all away with Fairy Wind.

"Hey! That was a cheap shot!"

"Hahaha! Really?! BECAUSE I DIDN'T THINK WE WERE PLAYING WITH RULES!"

We all just laughed like a bunch of idiots.

"Wow we went really far out. We should swim back before it gets any darker."

"Yeah were all drenched and tired. I'm sure we all want to still be playing in the ocean."

"Shut up smartass!"

We all laughed as we began to swim back to shore. *Eevee and Ryu began racing to see who would get to shore first, while me and Sylveon stayed a little bit behind to conserve stamina.

"Well this was fun."

"Yeah it's been a while since we all horseplayed like this."

"Especially in our school uniforms."

Sylveon laughed at my joke as we swam next to each other. I giggled and started copying his swim pattern.

"Phew! And this is also a work out."

"Oh are you getting tired Eevee?"

"Just a little bit."

As soon as I said that, Sylveon grabbed my paw and began to half swim and half pull through the water.

Was this because of earlier? If so then I should make the most of this moment.

I smiled mischieviously as I swam faster and quickly pulled him underwater with me. The coral reefs were beautiful but I was to focused on Sylveon's paw as he held mine a little tighter.

We both swam at the same pace holding paws all the way to shore.

Even when we reached shore, we still held paws as we both stepped up feeling completely drenched from tonight's swim.

"About time you slowpokes."

Me and Sylveon both laughed. But when we noticed she was staring suspiciously at us we both let go of each other's paws our cheeks definitely burning up.

"Well we had enough fun for one night."

"Aww does it have to end already?"

"Well maybe not just yet."

Eevee pulled out her phone and ushered us all over to take a selfie.

"Okay on 3,2,1. Say moon."

We all nodded as *Eevee began counting.

"3...

2..."

I giggled and snuggled closer to Sylveon. He chuckled and quickly put his arm around me.

"1...

Say Moon!"

"Moon!"

The camera clicked to capture our soaked smiling faces with the night sky and moon in the background. Kicking off our summer vacation that we will all never forget.
