~ Eevee

I'm glad Sylveon talked to *Eevee, and got her to open up at least a little. And now here we are eating dinner together. Yet we were all sitting in awkward silence, as we waited for our orders.

I guess it was up to me to break the silence.

"Uh so *Eevee how is are things for you? Do you like living here?"

"..."

"Okay... umm, where are you orginally from?"

"..."

"Alright...Umm, so you guys I have some news."

"What is it Eevee?"

"Well I'm-"

"Excuse me. I need to use the bathroom."

Eevee quickly announced before stomping on over to them.

"Oh okay..."

We all watched her leave in silence.

"She seems nice..."

"I think so too. Even if she doesn't want to admit it sometimes."

"Mmhmm..."

"Okay. Anyways I was going to say that I'm going to be a big sister. My family and I can't wait."

"Are you serious, Eevee? That's great! Congratulations!"

"Yeah Eevee. Congrats."

"Aww thanks you guys."

"Do you know if it's going to be a girl or a boy?"

"Not yet. But when I find out I'll be sure to let you guys know."

"Thanks Eevee. You know what? This calls for a celebration. What do you want to do Eevee? Or what do you want?"

"If you're offering just a icecream for now."

*82 - Pt 1. Ryu

When *Eevee left I could sense something was bothering. Not in a sense of aura, since my ability is currently on the fritz, but like feelings.

I can sometimes tell by a Pokemon's facial expressions.

And her's looked like disturbance.

At first I thought I imagined it, but when I saw her head outside, I became obvious that something was bothering her.

I felt the need to go over and say something but what Eevee said kept me glued to my seat.

"-going to be a big sister."

"Are you serious, Eevee? That's great! Congratulations!"

"Yeah Eevee. Congrats."

"Aww thanks you guys."

Sylveon and Eevee said more and I was trying to send him a silent message to keep Eevee distracted.

But I didn't have to worry because the food came and I started hoping *Eevee would come back on her own.

I waited but as time wore on she was still not back yet.

So I decided to get up and go after her.

Once I was outside I looked around and was surprised she was not there.

"*Eevee?"

The only sound I heard was the gentle night breeze.

I was starting to wonder if she left on purpose.

"*Eevee? Where are-"

And just like that I heard her. So I listened and followed the sound to where she was sitting underneath a tree.

"Oh hey *Eevee. I wanted to-"

She looked up in surprise and there was tears pouring down her eyes.

"Uh, what's wrong?"

"Ryu?! What are you doing here?! Go away!"

"I just came here to tell you the food was ready and uh-"

"I don't really care! Just go away!"

She hurled a Shadow Ball at me but she couldn't launch it very far and it landed in front of me in a plop.

"Damn it! Go away! Just leave me alone! Or I'll kill you!"

"But uh...when are you-"

"RARRRGH!!! GO AWAY!!"

She ran over to me and punched me in the face.

"Ouch! What was that for?!"

"I told you to go away! Just leave me! GO AWAY!!!"

She tried her hardest to leave multiple swings on me but they were almost too easy to dodge this time.

"Screw you! You bas-"

I grabbed her oncoming fist with ease.

"Stop trying to hit me!"

"Let me go! You creep!"

She tried wacking my arm's grip on her fist but to no avail.

"Just stop it! You're gonna hurt yourself!"

"I- don't care! Just let go of me! Leave me alone!"

"No!!!"

"What?!"

"I said no!!!"

"Wha- Why?!"

"Because I have just about had it with you! You'll never stop being a jerk. But at least you actually have feelings and I can try to get through to you now! I know you're feeling sad! My friends taught me to never abandon another whenever were feeling down! So whether you like it or not I'm going to find out what is bothering you because I want to help you! You are not just my partner! You are my friend! And friendship lasts forever! And even if takes forever to make you mupy friend I'll wait forever! Until you admit you are my friend! Got it?!"

"I don't believe you!! Why would you even give a crap about me you lowlife liar?! Why would you even want to be friends with someone like me?! TELL ME WHY!"

"Because like you I know what it's like to not accept that others care about you when you can hardly care about yourself! My friends have always stayed by my side even though I'm not one that a Pokemon should trust so easily! Even if I was dangerous they're not afraid they want to help me! Even if I hate myself they never hated me! They always believed in me! I have Pokemon that trust me and I trust them too! All this is the true meaning of friendship!! And that's why I'm not giving up on you so easily! My friends never gave up on me! What kind of a friend would I be if I gave up like you? Then they would be truly giving up on me! And I can never accept that! Now do you understand or do I have to say more?!"

Eevee stared at me in stunned silence.

I let go and backed away.

"You piss me off! Everyday! Every minute! Since the moment I met you in fact! You have always annoyed me! Made me sick! Made me angry! I just want to punch that smile off your face!"

"Yeah? And you're a frustrating jerk that never admits when she's wrong or lost even when the stacks are against her. And you piss me the f* off when you say no one cares about you."

"So you do have a backbone after all you mutt?!"

"You betcha! Fox girl! I have a whole lot more to say where that came from in fact!"

"Hmph! I bet you do."

We stared at each other in tense silence.

"You might be more okay than I thought."

"I- Wait was that a compliment from you?"

"Did you not hear correctly? Maybe I'll have to straighten those Buneary ears down to size."

"I'd like to see you try."

"But I'll give you guys a chance."

"Thank you. That's all were asking for."

"However, the minute I see everything you said is Tauros, then I will leave next time and never look back. Are. We. Clear?"

"Crystal. So is that the reason you were crying?"

"Don't bring that up. But I will leave you to figure that part out."

"Okay."

I'll be heading back now."

"I'm coming too."

I followed *Eevee. Patiently waiting for her to say something else.

"And don't try anything smart with me Riolu. The minute I find out you're trying to screw me over, I'll be your worst enemy. And just know I'll be keeping my eye on you from now on. So don't let your guard down."

"Same. I want to find out for myself what is your views on us. So I won't be letting my guard down either."

"Well that's good to know. For once."

"Hmph! Whatever."
