10: 30 am

~Eevee

I woke up to the sound of gentle tapping on the door. But the bed I woke up in, was not my own.

"What the- Where am I?"

"Eevee? Are you awake?"

"S-Sylveon? Yeah I'm awake..."

Oh right I spent the night at Sylveon's house. He poked his head inside with the same old smile.

"My mom made us pancakes. If you want some it will be waiting downstairs."

"Mmmm...That sounds good. Thanks Sylveon."

"Don't mention it. Oh and Eevee?"

"Yeah?"

"You might want to do something about your coat. It looks like a wreck right now."

"Why you!"

I threw a pillow at Sylveon and it harmlessly slipped down his face.

"Hehehehe! Well at least you slept well. I'll catch you downstairs then."

I threw another pillow at him but it hit the door instead. Once his steps receded, I practically ran to the bathroom to see if it was true.

"Arceus he was right...I look like I got run over twice right now."

I flushed in embarassment as brushed my caramel coat down.

"This is so embarrassing. Why does he have to be such a jerk about it?"

I brushed every inch of my hair and thoroughly examined my coat until I was satisfied with it's sleekness. I brushed my teeth and hurried downstairs for breakfast. I was hit with the smell of syrup and bread as I walked into the kitchen.

"Wow...that smells good..."

"Thanks Eevee. There's orange juice in the fridge if you want some. And there's plenty of pancakes to go around so please help yourself."

"Thank you."

I quickly poured myself a glass and sat down to start with my pancakes.

"Sylveon could you pass the syrup?...When you're done with it that is."

"Oh sorry Eevee. Hold on!"

I looked at his plate and he was practically drowning his four stack of pancakes.

"What did those pancakes ever do to you to ever recieve such torture?"

"It's has to be drowning in sugar to taste good. Here you go Eevee."

"Yeah right. Thank you."

I dripped the syrup on the pancakes in sleek lines crisscross applesauce style.

"Son. You're going to get syrup on your coat if you keep eating like a Munchlax."

"Hmm? Wo mm Wot!"

"And for heaven sakes don't eat with your mouth full!"

"Woger Wat Wom!"

His mom just shook her head in disbelief in response. I giggled as I nibbled down my scrumptious pancakes.

*11:15 am

"Phew I'm stuffed..."

"In that case, why don't we play a game? What do you say Sylvie?"

"Hmm? Oh!"

He had to swallow an entire pancake before responding.

"Ahem! Sounds perfect!"

"Sylveon...You have syrup on your face dear..."

"Oops sorry!"

"What game are we going to play?"

"Either cards or Twister."

"Oh uh definitely cards. I don't think I could play Twister after eating all those pancakes right now."

"Alright then Sylveon! Go get the cards so we can play Blackjack."

"Okay mom. Eevee do you know how to play?"

"Oh yeah I play it with my parents all the time. I just usually don't win."

"Maybe you'll get lucky this time around you never know."

"Ok then let's play."

*12:30pm

I haven't won any rounds. Sylveon has won 3 while his mom has won over 7 times now.

"You sure you aren't cheating Vylena?"

"Oh no. I just have tremendous luck with this game. Have been since freshman year of college now. I don't intend to lose it now. Hit me."

I looked at Sylveon and Vylena for any signs of weakness, but they both kept good poker faces.

"Hit me."

My cards are now 16 out of 21. I need less than five to be on the safe side and win.

"Hit me."

I got a 3 card. Too close to risk now so I'm going to have to stay.

"I'll stay."

"Everyone place down your cards and the winner is...Let's see...16, 19 and..."

18.

"Oh well, I got an 18. It looks like the winner is Eevee. Her prize is the last soda in the fridge. But if you win all the six matches in a row next you get to pick the movie we're going to watch. If you don't win all of them the person to win one round gets to select the movie."

"With those stakes Vylena it is on now."

*1:30pm

"No! I almost won the sixth round!"

"Sorry looks like mom picks what we're going to watch. But I'll teach you how to win 5 rounds in a row later if you want."

"That sounds a little better. Thanks."

"Ok then we're watching the World War 7 movie! I'll go make some popcorn while you guys go take a seat in the livingroom."

"Alright let's go Eevee."

"Like the game?"

"Wait there's a game?"

"Hehe, just kidding."

"Hahaha! You got me good there Eevee!"

"I try."

*4:30pm

"Hey I think your mom fell asleep."

"Hehehe, yeah you're right. Do you think we should record her snoring?"

"That's not very nice you know."

"Come on she'll never know..."

"No!"

"Okay! Okay! Do you want me teach you the cards skills then?"

"Please do."

*5:30pm

"And that's pretty much all you have to do."

"Wow this will come in handy...Can't wait to actually beat your mom next time."

"Good luck on your quest Eevee. Not even I have beaten her yet but good luck anyways."

"Thanks. And you know what maybe we should record her snoring. What do you think?"

"That's not a bad idea. I'll go grab the camera."

*6:00pm

"Whew! That was a close one! Ok let's never do that again."

"Well at least we'll have good footage for a laugh later. "

"Whatever you say."

"Say do you want to watch a movie with me now?"

"Love to."

"Ok. Now let's see.."

*10:00pm

Sylveon lay sprawled out on the couch snoring like a lawnmower. But I was too tired to really laugh right now. So I grabbed a pillow and placed it on the floor, and went to go shut off the light.

As I lay there I was smiling over how nice Sylveon and his mother are. They really are like my second family. I think my days are going to be nothing but fun from now on.

I didn't take long for my fatigue to catch up to me and I fell once again into a peaceful sleep.

(Note : Eevee is having fun and is relaxing with her friend and his mother. But is Riolu (male) doing the same? Find out in Ch 60 ~ Riolu (Male)!)
