~ Eevee
*18 days for summer vacation
Morning
I ran down the steps suddenly feeling more energized than ever before.
"Hey mom! Dad! Good morning!"
I said as I quickly gave them each a hug and a kiss.
"Oh! Goodmorning sweetheart!"
"Hahaha! Hey princess! Whose my ray of sunshine? You are of course!"
"Heh. Thanks daddy. I just have a lot of energy today! I just can't help it!"
"Do you think you can work some of your energy over here? I want to do your hair today."
"Oh did I forget to brush it again?"
"Yes you did. Come here. Old habits never die hard I guess."
I patiently waited as she combed my fur in smooth, straight sleeks and seperated it in three.
"Oh, when was the last time I did this for you Eevee?"
"About 5 years."
"I should be doing this more often then. Hold still."
I rolled my eyes and glanced over to where the egg was sitting in the incubator on the kitchen counter.
"How is the baby doing dad?"
"So far so good. The doctor hasn't said there are any problems yet, so the baby is pretty healthy. In about 3 weeks we can find out the baby's gender so that's something to look forward to."
"Yeah I can't wait."
Please be a healthy baby Arceus. I want my brother or sister to live a happy life. One that's not like mine.
I spent most of my childhood being homeschooled because of the 'accident' that gave me asthma. My parents kept a close eye on me ever since. Until I was 9 at least.
I don't want the baby to go through what I did. If I could have one wish, that's what I would wish for.
"And done."
Mom quickly flashed a mirror in my face. She made a high braid with a pink ribbon tied above it.
"I'm not really a fan of ribbons mom."
"You'll have to be. Since you're my daughter."
"If this is what I have to endure I'd hate to see what you guys will make the baby wear."
"Really adorable onesies for the first year. And the year after. And the year after that. And the year after that."
"That's nice mom. I have to go to school now guys."
"Have a nice day!"
I grabbed my back pack and slid open the door...
To find Ryu's limosine already parked outside.
"Hey Eevee. Are you ready?"
"Ready as I'll ever be."
Shiftree held open the door and I glided in, nearly bumping into Sylveon.
"Oh hey Sylveon."
"Hey Eevee. Goodmorning."
"Goodmorning Sylveon. Goodmorning Ryu."
"Morning. Shiftree take us to PokeElementary in the South."
"Yes sir."
The limosine took off just as I buckled in my seatbelt.
"This is nice. Although, I think it will take a while before I get used to all this."
"I take care of all my friends Eevee. It's the least I can do so you both don't have to take the train anymore."
"It's not just us three anymore remember? Now we have *Eevee in the group."
"Oops, uh do any of you guys know where she lives?"
"Actually no. We really don't know much about her."
"The next time we'll see her we'll ask. No need to leave a friend behind just because we don't know where her house is."
"Good point."
I bounced up a little as the limosine hit a bump. Ryu quickly told the driver to slow it down.
But just before I could stop worrying about bumps, I noticed Sylveon's tie.
"Sylveon your tie is crooked."
"Oh it is?"
"Hold on. I'll fix it for you-ah!"
I slipped and fell on my face when the limo screeched to a halt. Sylveon and Ryu could not contain their laughter.
"Oww...Shut up you two. That really hurt."
"Are you...Oh Eevee your ribbon is-"
"WHAT?! What happenned to it?"
RIP!!
I stared in horror at the ribbon that is now ripped in half after I accidentally pulled it apart.
"Oh no...Mom is going to kill me!"
"Isn't it just a ribbon?"
"No it's not just a ribbon! It's the new Lower Stat Resistance Ribbon! And now it's ripped in half!"
"It prevents your stats from being lowered?"
"Yes and it costed over 1000 when my mom bought it for me! Since it's so expensive I wanted to be careful with it but- Argh! This is the end!"
"Hold on let me see it Eevee."
I gently pulls it put of my hand to further examine it.
"Oh this should be easy to repair."
He then pulls out a sewing kit out of backpack.
"Umm, Sylveon..."
He gets to work with a needle not even hearing what I said.
"Sylveon?"
"Huh? Oh what?"
"Why do you have a sewing kit in your backpack?"
"Well, believe it or not my mom made me sign up for sewing class."
"Why though?"
"Something about me 'having to pick up on some household skills if I want to be a notable gentlemen someday'. Including sewing. Much to my embarassment seeing as how I'm the only male student in there."
"Dude that's rough."
"I don't enjoy the class much. But I have to learn if I want to satisfy my mother at least."
"How long are you going to be in that class?"
"Just for the year. Unless I don't learn enough then my mom will make me take the class again."
"Do your best then bro."
"Thanks."
"Miss Eevee. Here is your stop."
"Thank you Shiftree. Um Sylveon?"
"Don't worry about it Eevee. I should be done with it after school and I'll give it back to you even better then new. I promise."
"Oh okay then. Bye guys."
"Bye Eevee."
I walked through the courtyard with a small smile on my face.
"So Sylveon knows how to sew? Pretty cute."
*83 ~ Sylveon
I carefully kept stitching the ribbon, being careful not to up a single stitch.
"Say Sylveon."
"Yeah?"
"Is there a class for sewing in middle school?"
"Not that I remember. Why do you ask?"
"Do you think if I found one would the girls like it?"
"Uh you lost me. Are you trying to get a girlfriend or something?"
"Well not a girlfriend. But I do want to get the ladies attention. I mean when you think about it everything you do, even sewing, the girls get a kick out of it. They also like everything I do so if I try the same thing they will be coming in hoards don't you think?"
"I'm not doing this to get the ladies. I'm doing it because my mother is making me. And if you ask me it's better to have one girls attention than have a whole hoard of them chase after you. I'm talking from experience and catching multiple girls attention just brings you nothing but trouble and misery. Not to mention it proves your loyalty to the girl you're actually interested in. Wouldn't you agree?"
"Yeah you're right. I need more girls attention so I can seek out one that is interesting."
"No that's not what I meant! You have to show little interest in girls like that but not be too mean to them. Because lets face it, guys don't like it when a girl cries because they harshly rejected them but don't go out with them. And someday you'll find a girl that is your type when they see how kind and considerate you truly are."
"Again too specific. Playing with them is a lot more fun. Besides if I follow your example, I'll just be a sorry excuse for a guy who won't have his first girlfriend until he is past 18."
"At least I have a better chance with women because they know me for who I truly am and not for my accomplishments."
"At least I'm not confused with my emotions and actually know the difference between having a crush and being just friends with a girl."
"At least I don't need to hang out with multiple women because I have no confidence in myself to be only interested in one."
"Yeah and do you like one of the girls smartass?"
"No need to be rude. The reason I'm not with a girl yet is because I'm not ready yet nor have I found one that's interesting. No need to push something that just needs time."
"Don't feed me that crap! I know you like someone! Everyone has to like someone. Even a fool and a near lost cause like you!"
I stop what I'm doing to think of someone. No one really comes to mind other than...Eevee?
"Can even you be thinking of someone important to you Sylveon?!"
"Listen! I am not a sorry excuse for a guy, neither am I fool, nor a lost cause! Because like you said we all have to like someone I just don't know which girl yet! So don't you dare give me advice until you get a girlfriend yourself!"
"I actually shivered when you shouted. So cool. You have a backbone after all."
"I see. That was a test. I'm not falling for that again."
"Ha. We'll see my good friend. We will see."
"Sir Sylveon. Here is your stop."
"Thanks Shiftree."
I stepped out of the limosine .
"Hey."
"What?"
"You sure you can actually fix the ribbon in time dude? You don't have to pretend you can so she doesn't get sad, you know?"
"I can fix it. If it's for Eevee then I know I can. After all anything for Eevee."
"If you say so."
"Yup. Seeya bro."
"Bye."
*83 ~ Ryu
Did I imagine it or did I see the pink aura around Sylveon grow?
"Anything for Eevee huh?"
I would be saying thay if I were him. But who do I like?
"Oh! Shiftree slow down the limo."
"What is it young master?"
I lower the window surprised to see *Eevee walking to school.
"*Eevee?"
"Ah! What do you want?"
"Do you need a ride to school?"
"Huh?"
"Do you need a ride to school?"
"Hmph! If I had our family limo it would put your to shame."
"Your family owns a limo too?"
"Well 2 actually- Anyways! Who cares? Why do you want me to ride with you? It's not because you feel sorry for me is it?"
"No because I'm your friend. And you look like you need a little bit of help."
She crossed her arms and glared at me.
"Uh please?"
"Hmph! Fine but think nothing of this fool!"
She quickly slid inside and shut the door.
"Keep going Shiftree. She goes to my school too."
"Yes young master Ryu."
He drove us off in silence.
"Ryu? Is that a nickname?"
"Yeah it's short for Riolu. All my friends call me that. Shiftree is the only one that hasn't gotten with the program yet."
"Or me. I never said I'll start calling you that either."
"Fair enough. But what are you going to call me?"
"Just Riolu you idiot. What else?"
"So it's okay if I call you just *Eevee then?"
"No!"
"Okay! Okay! Calm down! It was just a joke! Geez why are you so serious?"
"Because I'm not going to be a kid like you."
"You don't even know how old I am. You should at least know before you start calling someone a kid."
"You're what? 9?"
"Seriously?! If I was 9 I wouldn't be going to middle school now would I?!"
"Then how old are you?!"
"I'm 12 wench! I'm going to be 13 next month in fact! So I'm not going to be a kid anymore soon enough!"
"Wait next month?"
"Yes I was born in July! What does it matter to you?"
"You know what? It doesn't matter to me! I don't even know why I asked!"
"Then don't ask!"
"Fine I won't!"
We glared at each other refusing to say anything else.
"Uh young master?"
"What now Shiftree?"
"You're here sir."
"Oh thank you. You hear that *Eevee? Time to-"
She slams the door before i could even finish.
"Why that *Eevee..."
(Note : Will there be tension later when Eevee suggests the girls do something? Find out in Ch 84 ~ Eevee!)
