~ Eevee

I hope Sylveon's fixed it soon. If my mom finds out... Let's just say I don't want to be on her bad side...

"Umm Eevee?"

I turned in surprise to see Fennekin. I nearly forgot about what she said the night before.

"Hi..."

"I haven't forgotten what you said about *Eevee yesterday, Fennekin. I know you dislike her, and we don't know her that well, but what you said about her was uncalled for. You tell me how she is even remotely bad as you-know-who."

"You can't know if she isn't going to be like her. What if it's all just an act and then she's going to take over the school next? I don't want that to happen again to anyone. Meaning we can't rule her out if we don't want a second 'Riolu'."

"Hating someone does not excuse anything, nor is it the answer. It's just gives a Pokemon a reason to hate you more. And besides there is no 'we'. You may feel that way about her now but over time you'll realize you were wrong about her and you just want to fix what you broke. So I'm telling you now, to apologize for what you said, otherwise were not friends anymore. Especially if you going to treat a Pokemon like she doesn't belong."

"This is what I was afraid of! You act like she 's done nothing wrong but you haven't seen the things I have seen. She's just going to use you all. And I am going to prove to everyone what a terrible Pokemon she really is. Even...at the cost of our friendship!"

"Then leave me alone."

I walk away from her in frustration, and sit under my tree to calm down. I soon realize that I'm not alone.

"Hey Froakie."

"Huh? Oh hi Eevee."

"Sitting here to vent?"

"You could say that."

"Mind if I join you?"

He shakes his head sideways in response and I quickly say 'Thanks.' I suddenly notice that he is frantically sketching on a notepad. I look closely and I'm surprised that he's drawing Fennekin.

"Wow so much detail."

"Oh I-I-I uh...Thank you."

He says as he flushes a light pink.

"So you like to vent out your frustrations with drawing? That's actually really intriguing. May I ask why you're drawing Fennekin by the way? Is there a reason?"

At the mention of her, he stops sketching and heaves a sigh. He closes the book and is now flushing a bright scarlet.

"I just really miss her."

"You do? Did something happen between you two?"

"Yeah. I've just been really worried about her lately, because she has not been herself. One minute were talking, the next minute she strategizing a plan to 'reveal' Eevee's true colors. And because of that she told me she hates me because I don't have the same opnion as her. And it's been like that for a while now. I'm really worried for her."

"That's rough. How long has she been like this?"

"Almost as long *Eevee has been here. Like less than two months ago."

"So stubborn."

"Yeah."

"I don't know what to do with her myself. But all I can say is that this is a problem only she can fix on her own. As well as her views once she realizes she's just acting stupid."

"That's okay to know. Thanks Eevee."

"Don't mention it. I know from personal experience that you yourself have to decide what's right and what will fix your problems. Aside from that being her best friend it means you'll always believe in her. So doesn't that mean you believe she'll make the right choice herself. Otherwise you wouldn't be her friend right?"

"No I wouldn't. Thanks for helping me understand Eevee. It means a lot."

"Don't mention it."

"Why do you think she hates *Eevee so much? I just want her to realize this is stupid by why is she determined to find that thing that classifies her as bad?"

"I don't know but I'll find out soon."

I look back to see the limo pull beside the school's entrance.

"Oh Froakie. I have to go."

"Oh okay. Bye Eevee."

"Bye Froakie. And don't worry about Fennekin I'm sure she'll come around soon. As long as she fixes whatever problem she has with *Eevee we can't do anything but wish she'll do that on her own. Okay?"

"Okay Eevee. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

I jog on over to limo in earnest. To find Ryu and *Eevee in a heated argument.

I awkwardly slide in and mouth to Sylveon,"What's up with them?"

He mouths back, "You don't want to know."

Finding out though wasn't that difficult as their voices raised higher.

"Look. I already agreed you drive me to school and back from now on, but that does not mean I want you guys at my house!"

"Why not?! We're you're friends! You're just being ridiculous!"

"Oh I'm being ridiculous? Have you looked in the mirror?! You've been nothing but pushy all day! All because you must know every single detail about me! So inviting you to my house is not an option! Why can't you just respect my privacy?!"

"Because friends always spend time together at each other's houses! We just want to get to know you better! What's wrong with us wanting to hang out at your house?!"

"Because I'm not comfortable with anyone that's not family! That's why I don't want you to come! So just drop it already and take me home!"

"How are we going to be friends if you're so secretive all the time?!"

"When I want to I'll show you! Until then just buzz off!"

"Argh! You're so frustrating!"

"And you're a pushy jerk!"

"You're stingy!"

"You're inconsiderate!"

"You're selfish!"

"How dare you talk to me like that, you stinky dog!"

"Dumb fox!"

"Loud mouth!"

"Now you look in the mirror loudmouth #2!"

"I'm neither second nor a loud mouth you idiot!"

"You're stupid!"

"How dare you! And back away from me! You're spits flying and you're breath stinks!"

"I don't have bad breath you dumb face!"

"I'm not ugly you're ugly!"

"Why you dumb-"

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Alright! Stop fighting you two now!"

"Who asked for you're opnion f*face?!"

"Yeah stay out of it dips*!"

"You two. Stop it."

"What are you going to do about it you weak fairy ty-"

"ALL OF YOU SHUT UP!! YOU'RE ALL ACTING LIKE A BUNCH A LOUD IDIOTS SO ALL OF YOU JUST BE QUIET! Ahheck! Ahem! Ahem! Koff! Koff!"

Everyone turned in my direction as I started wheezing and pulled out my inhaler.

"Eevee. I didn't know you had asthma."

"Ahauck! Now you- Aheck! know."

Puff.

"You okay Eevee?"

"I'm fine just...give me a minute to breathe."

The limo was quiet save the tense atmosphere in the room. It was now up to me to fix that. I'm not about to let my friends claw at each other's throats.

"Say guys how about we go to mall?"

"*sigh Fine. One more snark remark out of him though and I'm taking a taxi home."

"Well excuse me for-"

"Hey Ryu! Enough!"

Sylveon glared at him in warning.

"Okay. Shiftree take us to the mall."

(Note : How will their first official hangout with *Eevee go? Find out in Ch 85 ~ Eevee!

For readers : I realized I left an important detail out at the end of chapter 56. I quickly put it in for those who want to go back and read it and for the followers of The Fall of Riolu. I will include the new reveal in that story only which I'll try to publish as soon as possible. Thanks for all the support!
