The glow ended, and I was still Eevee; however, my leg had healed.
"Or not," Collin said. "I'm fine either way."
"Actually," I corrected him, "I'm part Ditto. I can switch to any evolution at will."
His eyes widened. "Really?"
"Yep!" I answered proudly. I switched forms a few times before finally settling back on Eevee.
"Amazing!" Collin marveled.
"So," I asked, "am I gonna have to stay with you for the rest of my life now?"
Collin stroked his chin. "Not if you don't want to," he finally said. "Let's make a deal. You can roam freely, but when the sun comes down, you have to come back to me. Deal?"
"Deal!" I answered, jumping on his shoulder. "I'll stay with you for now, though."
"Okay," Collin chuckled, starting to walk down the road.
"Where are we headed, Collin?"
"Wherever the road takes us, Tenkai. Wherever the road takes us."
And so ends the stuff I came up with myself.
Ready to see how cringe I was when I met the people that became my friends?
