~ Eevee
*April 6th"Like this?"
I proceded to do another backflip but I just managed to fall hard on my face.
"You just need to let the momentum take you backwards, and then push off every time your paws touches the ground."
"That's what I've been trying to do! But I still can't do them in a row like you can!"
"Hmm...I see. Do it again."
"What?! But I'm just going to fall on my face again!"
"Just trust me. Try it again and maybe I'll see what you're doing wrong this time."
"Oh alright! Well...here I go..."
I pushed off the ground with my feet hard and the world seemed to spin around with me. My front paws touched the ground so I pushed off again.
Only to fall straight on my face once more...
"Oww! See?! I told you!"
"I think I know what you're doing wrong. You didn't push off hard enough the second time. You need enough traction to pull it off twice, but at least you're getting the 'momentum' part right."
"Argh! Do you think we can take a break first before I try this impossible manuever again?"
"Oh sure! We have been practicing for nearly 3 hours already, so we should probably take a break now."
Sylveon helped me up and we went back inside the kitchen.
"Done already? I made some cookies and lemonade if you guys want some."
"Lemonade sounds great...Thank you."
Sylveon went ahead and poured us both a glass. When he handed me one, I gulped it all down in two swigs.
"Wow you really were thirsty. Not that I think it tastes bad, I just think it's healthy to sometimes take it down a notch."
"Says my son that ate over 15 pancakes on his own."
"Okay. Every once in a while then. It helps prevent indigestion that way."
"Sure whatever you say..."
I laughed as I poured myself another glass and slumped into a chair.
"Phew! Who knew doing so much flips would be so exhausting?!"
"Flips?! Son, what are you teaching this girl? How to look like a fool in less than 5 seconds?"
"Flips can be fun if done right. Eevee just wanted me to teach her some basic manuvering skills and that's was all I could think of."
"It's going to be difficult since she's a girl. As a matter of fact, how many girls do you see doing flips nowadays?"
"Uh..."
"Exactly. None. Why don't you teach her something more easier and productive instead of wearing her out all the time?"
"Oh no, that's all right Vylena. I do think this really fun already, and I don't want to give up on it so easily. So no need to worry."
"Well alright. But just don't push yourself too hard dear. Or pretty soon you'll be finding a one way ticket out of here."
"Understood. No problem."
*30 minutes later"Argh!! I was so close!!"
"You okay Eevee?"
"Yeah I'm fine. Let's go again."
I pushed off making me see the world spin.
My paws touched the floor and I pushed off again.
I braced my face for impact but I felt nothing but air as my feet was about to touch the ground again.
I pushed off again and repeated
"Look Sylveon! I'm doing it!
3 flips.
4 flips.
5 flips.
"Yeah!! I got it!!"
"Eevee!! Look out!!"
"What I- Oof!"
I didn't stop in time and my face hit the fence behind me hard.
"Oww...Oww...Owww..."
"Eevee! Are you okay!"
Sylveon grabbed my back and spun me upright.
"Oh...my nose..."
"Oh you're bleeding! Wait here a minute!"
Sylveon jogged back inside and I felt my nose to see if he was right. Sure enough when I looked down at my paw there was drips of blood on it.
"This sucks..."
Sylveon came back with a first aid kit.
"Alright. Now stay still and breath out through your mouth."
He placed a tissue on my nose and I prepared to blow.
"Hehuh...Hehuh...Hehuh..."
"Hold still...This is going sting..."
"Oww!"
"Sorry."
The disinfectant stung like a Beedrill but I somehow managed to ignore it.
"And there you go!"
He had placed a tight bandage on the bridge of my nose, securely holding it in place. Then another on top for the cut and to keep the other one down.
"Just try not to move it so much and it should eventually heal on it's own."
"Okay. And thank you Sylveon."
"It was my pleasure."
He helped me up and we started to head back inside.
"Aside from breaking my nose this was actually a lot of fun. Thanks again Sylveon."
"Don't mention it. As long as you watch out for the fence next time then it's all well and good."
"Don't worry. I will."
