How is everyone's day going? Good, I would hope! Now, the only sister left who hasn't had sex with Trey is Serenity. Because of her being younger than her siblings, and not really having knowledge about sex anyway, she may take several chapters before I actually make a lemon scene with her. Now with that out the way, back to the story!

Chapter XIV - New Faces!

Rose hummed to herself as she picked some berries off a bush. The large pile of berries she and her sisters collected over the year was finally starting to diminish (no thanks to Spark and Blaze with their large appetites...).

"I found another bush full of berries!" Trey called out.

"Me too, though some of these berries aren't ripe." Winter said.

"Hmm.. pick the ones that are ripe, we'll come back for the other ones later on." Rose instructed. Winter nodded and got to work.

"I finished with my bush!" Serenity announced, way louder than necessary.

"Great job Serenity. I think after Trey and Winter are done, we should have enough to last another 6 months." Rose answered, proud of her sister. Serenity cheered and did a backflip.

While Trey picked a few berries off with his psychic powers (yes, he does have some psychic powers), he heard a bush rustling nearby. Curiosity getting the best of him, he jumped through the bush, only to headbutt something on the other side.

"Ow! Watch it!" A feminine voice yelled, obviously in pain from the ordeal.

"My apolo-" Trey stopped and noticed the creature what he ran into. An Alolan Vulpix. Her shiny, white fur was a clear giveaway. Not to mention those six arching tails. "Wow..."

"'Wow' what?" The Vulpix asked.

"Nothing... I was just-"

"Get away from her!"

Trey looked up to see a fireball heading in his direction. Reacting quickly, he jumped out of the way, creating more distance between him and the Vulpix.

Another Vulpix landed beside the white one, but this one had dark orange fur.

Must be a Kanto Vulpix... Trey hypothesized.

"Vivian! Did he hurt you?" The Kanto Vulpix asked the other one.

"I'm okay Valerie. It was merely an accident after all." Vivian replied, rubbing the spot on her head where they collided.

"Hm, I see. Well then, intruder, what is your name?" The new Vulpix, Valerie, asked him.

"I'm Trey. I didn't mean-"

"Get away from him!"

Valerie looked up to see several icicles heading her direction. She and Vivian leaped out of harm's way.

Winter, Rose and Serenity caught up to Trey.

"What's going on here?" Rose asked.

"Just some new faces is all." Trey responded, pointing toward the duo several yards away. "Speaking of, what are you doing out here anyway?"

"Well, if you must know, we've been looking for berries thanks to birds eating most of them." Valerie answered.

"Well we just found a whole stash of berries! You're welcome to have some!" Serenity stated, not even caring that these were total strangers.

"No way! We're not giving anything to them!" Winter protested, preparing another attack.

Rose, however, interfered. "Relax Winter. No need to be so hostile." Turning her attention back to the pair, she smiled. "You may have some of our berries."

Using her psychic abilities, she picked up a small but sizable amount of berries and brought them to the pair.

"Oh thank you! We are most grateful!" Vivian and Valerie said in unison, bowing then diving in.

Trey could tell from how fast they ate that they didn't eat much in the last few days. Within seconds, the Vulpix duo finished their portions.

"That was amazing!" Valerie commented, still licking her mouth.

"Indeed, they were incredible!" Vivian agreed.

"Why would you give them our food!?" Winter whisper-yelled at her older sister. "We can't trust them!"

The gem on Rose's head began glowing. "I'm a psychic type, remember? I peered into their minds and found no malicious intent. In fact, they were much more hungry than they were willing to let on."

"I knew they were hungry!" Serenity butted in. "I'm so helpful."

Rose chuckled and waved her tail about, proud of her younger sister.

"Well now that you've eaten, what are you two going to do now?" Trey asked.

Both Vivian and Valerie looked at each other. They actually didn't know what to do. They've never been this far from their home before.

"We aren't quite sure ourselves. We traveled so far away from home that we're terribly lost." Vivian answered, her voice lowering in volume as she spoke.

"I hope it was worth it." Winter stated nonchalantly.

"Well it's still fairly early right now. How about you two come over to our cave for a while?" Rose suggested.

The duo were skittish about the idea. Valerie was the first to voice her concern. "It's really no need! I'm sure we can find our way back if we retrace our steps!"

Winter couldn't help but smirk. "Good luck with that."

"I don't think that's a good idea at the moment." Trey said, pointing up to the sky. An army of dark clouds were crawling over the area. It won't be long before another storm rolls in.

"Trey's right. It would be better if you just come with us." Rose agreed.

"It's really no trouble! We do not wish to be of any burden to you!" Vivian countered, bowing her head.

The four eeveelutions tilted their heads in confusion. Why do these two insist on not coming with them? Surely they should know by now that they won't be attacked. Plus, they don't necessarily have to stay. They just need a place of shelter for the incoming weather.

The rumble of nearby thunder was an indicator.

"Unless you wanna get rained on, I'd suggest you just come on already." Winter was starting to lose her patience, not because of the duo, but because she HATED rain. It stems from her early days as an eevee. She was afraid of thunderstorms, but never admitted that to anyone.

"A-Are you sure?" Vivian stammered, a faint blush appearing on her face as she looked in another direction.

The glaceon groaned in frustration. "I wouldn't be asking otherwise!"

"Winter, chill." Trey said, placing a paw on her shoulder. The gesture was actually enough to ease her temper.

"I... I'm sorry Trey. Forgive me." Winter apologized, looking deep into the umbreon's eyes. Her ears drooped to the sides of her face.

"It's okay." He answered, giving her a gentle smile, before turning his attention back to the two Vulpix. "Let's get a move on. We don't have long."

No longer resisting, Valerie and Vivian followed the group to their cave.

"I should have asked this sooner, but what are your names?" The espeon asked while using her psychic powers to carry the remaining berries.

"I am Valerie," She pointed to herself, before pointing to her sister, "and this is Vivian, my twin."

"You're so beautiful!" Serenity stared at the duo in amazement. Though she herself was a flawless sylveon, she believed her beauty paled in comparison to these new companions.

"Thank you so much, um..." Valerie said, before realizing that she didn't know the sylveon's name.

"Oh! I'm Serenity!"

"Of course. Thank you Serenity." Valerie smiled at the little one. "Since we have met Trey already, what are your names?"

"I'm Rose, and that's Winter."

"Well it's nice to meet all of you." Vivian said.

"Though I must say I have never a group of eeveelutions traveling together before. It's such a rare sight out here." Valerie stated.

"We don't just travel together. We live together." Winter countered.

"My apologies, Winter. Nevertheless I am surprised to see a group of eeveelutions in one sitting." Valerie replied.

Rose chuckled to herself. "Wait until you see the rest of them."

Both Valerie and Vivian gasped in shock. "There's more!?"

"Yes. Besides Winter and Serenity, there's four other sisters you haven't met yet."

"Oh my! But.. what about Trey? Is he not related to you?" Asked Vivian.

"No. He's uh..." Rose paused, not exactly sure what to call him. A friend? A mate? A visitor?

"A friend!" Serenity yelled, rubbing her side against Trey. "He's amazing! You're really going to love him!"

Trey himself couldn't help but blush before gently easing the sylveon off of him. "Alright Serenity, that's enough."

The new arrivals laughed at the scene. Serenity's energy and kind nature was so infectious and adorable. Perhaps staying with this group wouldn't be such a bad idea.

Thunder, now louder, roared over the group, reminding them that it was still there.

"Let's pick up the pace, the cave isn't far from here." Rose said.

"Okay!" Everyone answered.

And that's another chapter completed! I was so hyped about this one that I literally sat down and wrote out the entire thing! I've outdone myself I know haha. Anyways, what did you think about the new characters Vivian and Valerie? Perhaps they can become main characters in the storyline, or I can just leave them as temporary. I'll leave that up to you guys. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the chapter, and I'll see you in the next one!
