Fall 2: The Leaf Pile
Pichu crept into the clearing, his friends in the bushes with him. The forest was so colorful, if chilly now, but all the youngsters agreed that the falling leaves were the best part of the season. The reason: the piles of leaves that go absolutely everywhere when you jump out of them.
This particular clearing was chalk full of the piles. Some huge, others very wide, all sorts of them just everywhere in the clearing. It was, to them, a wonderful playground just waiting to be used. And with a playful war-cry, Eevee set them all off by running and leaping into the closest pile.
It was glorious chaos, with leaves going everywhere and their laughter filling the air as they played. However, their fun was interrupted when Pichu jumped into one particular pile and a deep cry of someone who was startled sounded out. Everyone paused what they were doing and came over to the pile, with Pichu jumping out and onto the ground nearby. The pile shook and out popped out the majestic foliage covered head of the usually stern Mr. Sawsbuck, who looked rather put out at having been so rudely awoken.
The youngsters and Mr. Sawsbuck stared at each other for a moment. When Mr. Sawsbuck blinked the youngsters all cried out and ran out of the clearing, trailing leaves behind them. Mr. Sawsbuck just looked on before heaving a sigh and shaking his head, a few loose leaves falling off from his foliage covered rack. Reburying himself in his leaf pile, he went back to sleep, hoping to not be jumped on a bunch of rambunctious youngsters again for another few hours. He didn't really expect that to happen though. Many children had a fascination with leaf piles after all.
