"C'mon! This egg is going to hatch soon! I know it! Just a little more!"

"Spark, we've been walking all day!" Blanche whined. It was followed by a heavy that sigh escaped from Blanche's lips as she and her eevee followed after Spark through some brush. He had a pokemon egg in his arms and was very determined to get it to hatch. At Blanch's words though, he paused and turned to look at her.

"We're almost there! I promise . . . Hey, where's Candela?" A look of confusion passed over Spark's face as he turned to look back at Blanche. Their dark haired companion was no longer following along with them on his trek to hatch the egg he'd received from his parents.

"She turned back a while ago," Blanche quietly mumbled, glancing down at the ground. She was guilty of wanting to turn around too, but she didn't have the guts or heart to do it. She was glad she hadn't because Spark looked so upset that Candela had took off on them.

"Her loss then." Spark turned around and took off again, stomping his feet on the ground as he went. Blanche let out another quiet sigh and followed after him. Unfortunately someone needed to keep on the determined blonde boy. Who knew if he'd be able to find his way back to their camp once he finally managed to hatch the darn egg.

While trudging up the path, Blanche had her eyes on the ground so that she wouldn't trip over any roots or branches or the like. Since she wasn't looking in front of her, she hadn't noticed that Spark had stopped walking and she strode right into her.

"Woah," The girl moved around the boy, recovering from the little stop to see that they were in a clearing with beautiful pond that was the end of several waterfalls. She looked up to her blonde companion who had a big goofy grin on his face. "Did you know about this, Spark?" A hearty chuckle came from the boy at the question.

"I did! I thought it'd be cool to surprise you and Candela, but I guess it's just us now." Spark scratched the back of his head with a full toothed smile before taking a few steps forward. "Well, c'mon," He coaxed, inviting Blanche over. As she got closer, he held out the egg he'd been carrying and using as a ploy to get Candela and herself out to this waterfall. "Hold this real quick."

Blanche took the egg in her arms, a blank look crossing across her face as Spark removed his bag from his shoulders. He pulled out a blanket, laying it out over the ground for them to sit on. The white haired girl just blinked, trying to figure out how he'd known about this place - to bring Candela and her out there.

"Blanche?" The girl shook the thoughts away when Spark had called her name. He waved her over with his hand to come sit on the blanket with him. He was pulling something out of his bag as she came over. It looked like . . . Food? Blanche arched an eyebrow as she strode over, sitting down as carefully as she could with carrying Spark's pokemon egg.

"Was this egg even close to hatching at all?" Blanche inquired, gently setting the egg down on the ground down beside her. Her lips were pressed together in a thin line as she watched his face. It once again contorted into a humored look

"I really don't know, but it sure was a good excuse to get you guys to come . . . Well you, since Candela bailed." He finished pulling out the snacks he brought, mostly junk food. "My Uncle Surge and Dad brought me a few times. They found it when they were out on their pokemon journey," He explained, a smile still marking his lips. "I just thought it'd be really cool to show you guys.

" It is . . I mean, cool . . ." Blanche muttered, offering a small smile. It was a really pretty place. She wouldn't say it out loud but she was glad that Candela had decided to turn back. The other girl probably would have made things much more difficult and would probably just poke fun at Spark for the entire thing. Blanche reached for a pack of chips that Spark had brought with them. She opened the bag and popped one into her mouth. "It's really pretty."

"Yeah, it is," Spark offered a carefree smile as he looked around the clearing. He then went and reached for a wrapped up sandwich. "I'm starving after all that hiking and walking around. I almost thought we got lost."

Blanche shot the boy a cold look. Getting lost was not something she liked the sound of. She guessed it was a good thing that they had made it there safely, somehow. She decided against asking Spark if they had really gotten lost looking for the little clearing, shoving a chip in her mouth to silence herself.

"Blanche! Look!" Spark pointed at the pokemon egg that she'd set down. There were little fissures appearing across the surface of it. The white haired girl turned her head to look, her mouth falling open slightly.

Rolling her eyes, Blanche moved so that she was sitting next to Spark as the watched the egg go through the process of hatching. Finally after some time there was a loud crack and the egg split. Blanche's icy eyes opened widely in amazement as she watched the little pokemon come into the world. Spark had a big smile on his face, full of excitement to see what pokemon had been hiding in there.

"It's so cute!" Blanche mused when she saw the pokemon emerge - it was a pichu. Spark's smile seemed to falter slightly from her words. Cute wasn't exactly what the blonde was going for.

"Aw man. I was hoping for something more cool," Spark whined, almost pouting because of it. He took another look at the little pokemon though and he couldn't resist it any longer. "Hey there buddy," the blonde cooed, scooping the pokemon up in his arms. "Welcome to the world," He claimed, rubbing his cheek against the soft fur of the baby pokemon.

"See, I told you the egg was going to hatch soon," Spark said to Blanche, a big grin coming across his face as it seemed all of his plans were falling into place. Blanche offered the boy a smile in return.

"I guess you were." She was so glad that she had stuck around with the boy through the entire ordeal, it was well worth it.

End Note: I'm sorry I'm so late in getting this chapter out. I had a bunch of irl stuff happen. I had some friends' birthdays come up and I had to write fics for them as gifts. I also went to Desert Trip, which was honestly one of the best experiences I've ever had. Anyway, I'm sure y'all don't care about that. I'm really going to try to get to posting more regularly ( and I know I keep saying that, but I really am going to try). Sometimes I'm just having a difficult time thinking up of what I want to do next. I'm always looking for ideas for what to write for this fic, so if anyone wants to contribute ideas, please feel free to go ahead and message them to me (don't put them in reviews).
