~Eevee
I stood there stunned as the scene unfolded in front of me. Ryu just got slapped in the face by *Eevee. Only when I saw his reaction he didn't look upset.
He just looked at the ground in shame.
I turned to Sylveon and he just sadly crossed his arms. I can agree with him. Why did this have to happen?
We all turned back to *Eevee who looked like she fighting back frustrated tears.
"IF IT'S SO F*ING HARD FOR YOU TO SAY ONCE NICE F*ING THING THEN LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!"
She tried storming off but I wasn't having any of that. I had grabbed her arm before she
"LEAVE ME EEVEE!"
"No."
The air turned cold as I let go of her arm and glared at them both. They all stared at me in shock.
"E-Eevee?"
"You both should be ashamed of yourselves! *Eevee! Ryu was trying to explain himself but you refused to listen to him! You just argued and slapped him! That's not what friends do! And Ryu! What you said earlier to her was just terrible! That is not how friends should behave around each other! You support each other no matter what! It's like everytime we come to a peaceful conclusion, you guys always find something to argue about! I get that you two have different opnions, and you're both very stubborn, but stop putting me and Sylveon in the middle of it! Just suck your pride and apologize already!"
When I finished my speech I looked at them to see them both looking at the floor. Sylveon just gave me a slight nod.
Like he was silently reassuring me,"They both needed to hear that. I just hope they take the message well."
I glumly nodded in response and we waited for them to speak. But when they said nothing I just decided to say this.
"Can you at least try to put up with each other for just one night? We're here to celebrate Ryu's birthday remember? Not to be fighting like this! Can you at least try not fight for us guys?"
They both turned to me and then each other. They heaved a heavy sigh and Ryu held out his paw.
"No fighting for today?"
"No fighting for today."
*Eevee sighed and shook his paw.
*Back at the ballMe and Sylveon were laughing at each other's lame jokes by the punch table.
"Why is hitmonchan reffered as so?"
"I don't know why?"
"Because he hit 'mon-chan' for a month."
We laughed as he forced another accent making the joke funnier.
"That's not very nice you know."
"As long as no actual hitomonchan actually heard that then we have nothing to fear."
"Okay then my turn...umm...why is Celebi known as the Voice of the forest?"
"Is this suppossed to be a joke or an actual question?"
"Haha...a joke of course."
"Hehehe...sorry. I don't know why?"
"Because she's the celebrity voice among the forest. You can practically hear the trees cheering!"
"Pfft! Hahaha what?! That's the first fact turned into a joke if I ever heard one."
"Hey I tried my best Mr Big Mouth."
"And I applaud you for that. Or I should say the trees are applauding you for effort."
"Jerk."
We both laughed. Once I turned around I saw that Ryu and *Eevee were standing awkwardly a foot apart. Like them trying to talk after the fight was too much.
"Hey Sylveon can you tell them something?"
"Watching them is painful. I'll see what I can do. Hey!"
They turned in our direction but only Ryu came forward. As soon as Ryu was close enough Sylveon pulled him away and was silently scolding him. I could only catch snipets of their conversation.
"Wait what are you being serious right now?!"
"Shhh! I'm being dead serious. If you want to make it up to her as a friend I suggest you..."
I stared at them wondering what they were planning. When Sylveon suddenly pushed him back away in *Eevee's direction.
"What are you guys planning?"
"It's simple. I told Ryu to ask *Eevee to dance so he can get the chance to apologize to her and make up as friends."
"Wow that's pretty ingenious of you Sylveon."
"You inspired the idea. Because the only way he'll do it if he sees us on the dancefloor. So Eevee would you like to dance?"
"Oh. Sure, I'd love to."
He gently took my paw and led me to the dance floor.
*97 ~ RyuI waited for the signal from Sylveon. Once I saw him escort Eevee to the dancefloor I was working to pluck up the courage to ask my partner to dance.
"Hey *Eevee. It looks like everyone else is dancing including Eevee and Sylveon. Do you think we should-"
"Hold on they are?"
She looked at the dance floor in a huff just to see Sylveon spin Eevee in the air in time.
"Yes let's go! Nobody shows me up at anything!"
She grabbed my paw and I had to bend down a little as she pulled me.
"Okaayy..."
"Just put your hand on my waist
Eventually we ended up nearly bumping into to Eevee and Sylveon after *Eevee accidentally stepped on my foot.
"Whoah! Careful there guys don't want to a scene right Eevee."
"Hahaha! Right!"
They laughed their butts off at us trying to tell us to stay on the bright side.
"I can do that too! RYU! SPIN ME!"
She stepped on my foot.
"Okay...that hurts..."
I lifted her off my feet and spun her around awkwardly. I put her down too soon though and we bumped foreheads hard.
"Ouch! Hey! Dance with your feet and pay more attention!"
"Oww. I know. I know."
I stiffly moved around as she stood on my feet because she was literally too short to dance with any other way. I looked over to see how Sylveon and Eevee were doing. She was starting to slip on the floor and Sylveon was trying awkwardly and failing to help her stand nearly falling himself.
I laughed at them and moved over to them.
"What's wrong guys? Got a bit of light feet all of a sudden?"
"Yeah that's funny and all but can you help us out?"
"Yeah hold on. Whoah!"
I somehow slipped 180 degrees and as I fell and knocked Sylveon and Eevee down with me.
"Ouch that hurt...But why am I laughing?"
"Hehehehe Right? What were you saying about 'light feet' Ryu? Maybe you should watch your feet."
We all started laughing as we helped each other up. But I don't know why there was something I felt to say to *Eevee. So I just said it
"Hey *Eevee I wanted to say I'm sorry."
"What?"
"I'm sorry about what I said. Just know I would never say that to a friend."
"What's with all this mushiness? It's intoxicating."
"I just wanted to apologize. I hope you forgive me."
"If it makes you feel better I guess I can."
"Thanks."
"TIME TO BLOW OUT THE CAKE! WHERE'S RYU?! RYU DARLING OVER HERE! TIME TO SEE YOUR CAKE!"
I was slightly pulled to the table where a three foot cake with sparklers for candles was waiting for me.
Everyone sang the birthday chant but just out of wishing to end the embarassment I blew out the candles.
They all cheered.
"A lot of sugar and applause. Don't let the calories or the standing ovation get to your head partner."
"No way."
"Why you little-"
*97 EeveeWe watched as a minor fight started breaking out with Ryu and *Eevee.
"Really? Don't those two ever learn?"
"At this point I don't know."
"Cake, Miss Eevee?"
"Yes thank you."
"And you sir?"
"Yes. Thank you."
Me and Sylveon ate cake as I heard a familiar voice call me through the crowd.
"Oh there she is. Eevee there you are. We were looking for you dear. And hello again Sylveon."
"Hello ma'am."
"Hi mom."
I smiled at my parents who brought the egg in an incubator.
"You brought the baby?"
"Well we do need to walk with him so he'll hatch."
"I know. I'm just kidding. I'm really happy he's here."
"So it's a boy then?"
"Yes we found out about a week ago. I wanted to keep it as a surprise for you guys later but it's great that you guys know now."
"That's great Eevee. Congratulations for your brother."
"Thank you Sylveon."
He stared at the egg in almost childlike wonder.
"Pardon me. But may I hold the egg Mrs. Leaf?"
"Oh sure go ahead."
Mom quickly opened the incubator and handed the egg to Sylveon. He eagerly held it close and offered us a small smile.
"Well he's definitely in there. He's pretty big. I hope he'll grow up to be a healthy baby Mrs Leaf."
"Thank you very much. And please call me Leaf, Sylveon."
"Okay then Leaf. But really I'll bet he a beautiful baby. I bet he will seeing as he's so warm and- Oh!"
We all were stunned as the egg made a slight jiggle in Sylveon's arms. Mom nearly broke down in tears of happiness.
"He just moved. Oh thank Arceus. I'm glad he mature enough to move now."
I touched the egg and felt the baby moving just a little.
"Wow my little brother moved. I can't wait to meet you baby brother."
Sylveon chuckled as *Eevee began to approach us.
"Oh hey *Eevee. Where's Ryu?"
"He got pulled away to talk to family members. I don't really care about that- Oh is that an egg? Mind if I hold it?"
"Oh of course."
Sylveon handed the egg to *Eevee.
"The egg is pretty warm right?"
*Eevee only gave a slight nod before the egg gave a light wiggle again. She hands the egg back to me and turns away.
I simply shrugged and gently held my brother's egg close. When the sound of a crash filled the ballroom. And everyone was surprisingly cheering.
I turned to see Ryu blush in embarassment as his Aura Sphere hit a wall causing that crashing noise.
"That's okay son! Give it another shot."
He aimed again this time aiming for the ice statue. He steadied and fired.
It hit the Riolu sculpture and it quickly broke away with the crack to reveal a Lucario ice sculpture underneath. The crowd watching went wild.
"Nicely staged am I right?"
"Yeah that was cool."
Ryu's father stood by him and began a small announcement.
"We are here to celebrate my sons 13th birthday! Our fireworks ceremony will begin with a feast right outside. Be sure to have a good time everyone and thank you all for coming to my sons birthday. Give him a round of applause!"
Ryu shyly rubbed his head as everyone cheered and his father embraced him. When *Eevee abruptly tapped on my shoulder.
"How about we get a head start on the feast before the crowd beats us , and so we can celebrate with the guys?"
"Okay sounds good. Here mom the egg."
I gently handed the egg back mom and ran outside with *Eevee to go sneak food from the feast.
(Note : Ryu's birthday is going really well. How will the friends kick off the birthday night? Find out in Ch 98 ~ Eevee!)
