The next day, Burgundy went outside to train herself, she felt that she needed to learn to control her psychic abilities, but first she needs to start with something simple. ["OK, um... I can use Calm Mind. So, what else... Hmm... That old tree looks like a good target, I'll start with Quick Attack. Most Espeons usually can learn Quick Attack early on. This should be easy for me, right?"] Burgundy took a few steps back then charged straight at the tree. Her head knocked against the tree, there was no Quick Attack though.
["Oww...! Dammit!"] ["Burgundy, what are doing?"] ["Eek! C-Cilan, you surprised me! Anyways, I was trying to see if I can use Quick Attack."]
["What for? You not going to find yourself in any rough battles anytime soon. We're safe now."]
["Ever since that incident last night, I realized I have no self-control. I want to train myself, at least until Nina find a way to change us back."]
["I see... Well then..."]
Cilan crouch down in a fighting stance. ["I'll be your opponent."] ["Quoi?!"] Burgundy was shock by this. Fighting as trainers is one thing, but fighting as Pokémon is completely different!
["We'll have a friendly match. Just the two of us."] ["C-Cilan, I can't fight you!"]
["But wasn't that your goal, to defeat me?"] ["Well, yes, it is..."]
Cilan suddenly playfully pounced on Burgundy, causing them to tumble over! Burgundy kicked Cilan off of her and to tried run away. Cilan's eyes glow green. Suddenly, Burgundy tripped over two blades of grass that was tied together in a knot, causing her to fall face flat. ["Oww... G-Grass Knot?!"] ["Yep, did you change your mind yet, Bur-gun-dy?"] Cilan taunted her. ["Cilan...! Why you...!"] Burgundy hissed as she opens her mouth and forms a black and purple sphere in front of it then fires it. Cilan dodged it with ease.
["H-huh? What was...? W-was that Shadow Ball just now?"] ["Congratulation on learning a new move."]
["M-m-merci."] ["Now, let's keep training, shall we?"] ["...O-oui!"]
["Is it alright if I have the next move?"] He asked. Burgundy nodded slowly. ["Alright then. Let's see what flavors you'll bring into this match!"] Cilan opens its mouth and yellow stars shoot out at Burgundy. ["Oh merde! Focus, focus, focus, focus, focus, focus!"] Burgundy creates a copy of herself, giving her a chance to seek attack Cilan from behind. The copy disappeared as soon as the Swift hit it.
Burgundy winks at the Shiny Espeon, releasing several pink hearts that surround him. The hearts circled around him, then shrink into his body. He became infatuated. ["Maintenant tu m'aimes trop~!"] She teased him.
'Looks like I won this round.' She thought. Burgundy, who was extremely satisfied on winning, was about to head back inside until Cilan suddenly pounced on top of her. ["Burgundy~!"] ["C-Cilan! W-w-what are you doing?!"] 'Maybe I shouldn't have used Attract on him...' The Shiny Espeon embraced her very, very tightly.
["Eep! C-Cilan! P-p-please, a-arrête! L-l-let me go! N-now! C-C-Cilan!"] ["Oh, I love you my dear Burgundy, my darling Burgundy, my amazing, sweet, lovely Burgundy~!"] ["O-oh..."] Burgundy blushed madly. Was it from embarrassment? Maybe. But he was giving her so much attention. She felt so... so... loved by him. Sure, he was infatuated, but he was cute when he was infatuated. She didn't want him to stop.
["You are the cutest girl I've ever seen, I want to spend all of eternity with you, you're the only one for me, you have a wonderful taste that makes my heart burn with undying love for you, I want to love you until the end of time! No, even further than that! I love you~! Purr~! Purr~!"] The Shiny Espeon suddenly pulled her in and gave her a deep, long kiss. Burgundy eyes widen. 'Cilan is so bold when he's like this! It's... It's...' She closed her eyes. 'It's just like in my dreams!' Their lips separated as Cilan snuggled against her. The Shiny Espeon purred quietly, yet it sounded so sweet to her. Cilan then snapped out of the Attract's influence, much to Burgundy's disappointment. Cilan realized this and decided that the two of them should enjoy each other, he wanted to make her happy. ["Use Attract on me again..."] ["But Cilan-"] ["Please... You liked it when I was like that, didn't you?"] ["W-w-well... I-I... um... A-alright, fine..."]
She used Attract before realizing that Cilan was using the same move. ["W-w-w-wait a minute! C-Cilan! W-what are you- Eep!"] It was too late, the two of them were under the move's influents. The two Espeons snuggled against each other then hugged each other tightly.
["Cilan~! My dear Cilan~! I can't live without you, vous êtes ma chérie Cilan~! You mean the whole world to me!"] 'What am I saying?! I love him but right now I sound like an obsessed lovey-dovey teenage school girl! Is this what it feels like to be influenced by an Attract?'
["I love you my sweet Burgundy~! I love how adorable you look when you blush, I love the why you speak French, I love the way fur feels, your warmth, your eyes, your curls, your determination, I love everything about you!"]
["And I love everything about you too, ma chérie! I love you, Cilan! Je t'aime!"] ["I love you too!"]
["Cilan~! Embrassez-moi!"] The two rubbed their heads together before leaning in for a deep, passionate kiss. 'This kiss feels different than before... It's like we're in perfect sinc...'

["Do we have to take a bath at the same time?!"] Burgundy complained. "Yes! It's quicker and it saves on water." Nina explained as she dunked the two Espeons in the tub of warm water. Nina poured some of the bubble bath in the water, she usually use it for her little sister, Mia, but she thought these two can have some fun. She even left two bubble wands for them to play with. It's also a good thing she can talk to Pokémon in her human form too. There's so much that they don't know yet about Nina, but she promises to tell them about herself later. Just then, she heard the house phone rang. "OK, stay here, I'll be right back." She left the room.
["Burgundy, your face is red. Are you embarrassed by this?"] ["Quel genre de question est-ce?! Of course I'm embarrassed!"]
["There's no need to be."] ["Yes, there is! W-w-we're taking a bath together."]
["There's no shame in bathing together in this form, it can be fun. Watch."]
Cilan shook his paws in the water to create bubbly suds, a lot of suds. ["Cilan! Vous faire trop de bulles! Huh? Wha...? Cilan...? Cilan?"] Burgundy now sees nothing but suds, she batted her paws against the bubbles curiously as she can no longer see her rival. ["C-Cilan? Are you there?"] His head suddenly popped out of the soapy suds, startling Burgundy. ["AHH! Qu'est-ce que l'enfer! Cilan! Don't scare me like that!"] ["My apologies."] Cilan head was full of suds as his ears drooped down and his tail flicked from side to side. Burgundy stared him as she tilted her head slightly. 'He looks... kinda cute like that... Very cute... Si mignon...' She didn't realised what she was doing, maybe it was her Pokémon instincts taking over her, but she leaded in slowly until their noses touches and then... she just froze there.
["Um... I, um, well... N-non, now's not the time..."] ["Burgundy? What's wrong?"] ["I can't kiss you here, it doesn't feel right."] The Shiny Espeon smiled. ["Don't worry, I understand."] ["Y-you do?"] He answered with a nod. He then used Psychic to lift up the bubble wand to his muzzle. ["Now, let's play."] ["Cilan, we're too old to be playing with-!"] Her rival started blowing bubbles. Burgundy felt like her instincts has gone into overdrive. "Es-pe-on~!" She batted the bubbles playfully with her paws. "Phiiii~!" 'It's strange... It's almost like I have a heart and mind of a child now, or maybe even a small kitten. Nina did say that I was a 5 months old Espeon. Maybe that has something to do with it. Either way I look at it, this is actually a lot of fun! I never had this much fun in such a very long time!' One of the bubbles landed on her tiny, black nose. Suddenly she sneezed and the bubble popped. ["Achoo!"] Her rival chuckled a bit. ["Bless you."] ["Merci."]
After they were done their bath, Nina blow-dried the two Espeons, making their fur nice and fluffy. ["Votre fourrure est si doux et moelleux, Cilan... Mmm..."] Burgundy whispered to herself. Nina then brushed their fur gently, knowing that they're not uses to the sensitive feeling in their fur.

Later that night, the two Espeons slept in their small, cozy pet bed with a blanket covering them. 'Before I felt scare and nervous when I'm with Cilan, but now I feel warm and safe with him.' Burgundy sighed happily as she snuggle against him. ["Burgundy?"] Her ears perked up when she heard his voice.
["Cilan, you're still awake?"] ["Yes, I've been having trouble sleeping."]
["I didn't expect that from you. Is something keeping you awake?"] ["I guess I just need a little bit of comfort, that's all."]
["O-oh... R-really...?"] ["You wouldn't mind if I-"] ["N-non, not at all!"] ["Thank you..."]
Cilan wrapped his arms around Burgundy. 'I wonder... Did Cilan have a bad dream?' She thought as she hugged him back. 'I wonder what dreams about... I've been dreaming about Cilan a lot lately, haven't I. Does Cilan dream about me?' Burgundy started to yawn. ["Bonne nuit... Cilan... Sweet dreams... Zzzzzzz..."]
"Huh? Where am I? Is this another dream?" She was wearing a long, beautiful red dress with a rose in her lilac hair. "Burgundy...!" Her rival called out to her as he held out his hand. He was wearing a tuxedo. "May I have this dance?" "Oui, ma chérie." The two Sommeliers held hands as walk to the dance floor. Her arms over his shoulders and his hands on her waist. They were dancing, with Cilan taking the lead. Their bodies were close to each other, Burgundy's face was noticeably red, Cilan smiled at how cute she was doing so. He held her right hand and gracefully twirled her then brought her in close. Burgundy's back was towards him, her right hand near her left hip with his right hand holding hers tightly, his left arm wrapped around her body as his head rest on her shoulders. Before she knew it, her rival started nibbling her left ear. "C-Cilan~!" "What is it Burgundy? You don't like this?" He said huskily, he continued to nibble her ear. "Cilan... P-please, I... Mmm~ Cilan~ Je t'aime~ Nnn~!" The two sommeliers rock slowly to the beat of the song playing in the background. His arms wrapped around her body, his hot breath brushing against her ear, her heart fluttering in her chest, she loved it. "Burgundy?" "Oui?" "Let's go, I want you to have a best time of your life. I know the perfect place where you can enjoy yourself. Come with me." He held her hand and the two rivals left the dance floor to spend the evening together.
["Mmm... Je t'aime... Cilan... Nnnn... I'm having fun... Lots of fun... with you... What else do you... want... to... Zzzzzz..."]
["Burgundy? Wake up! It's time for brakefast! Burgundy!"] ["Ugh... Huh? Cilan?"]
["Come on, it's brakefast time!"] ["Huh? Really?"] ["Are you coming?"] ["O-Of course!"]
The two Espeons went to kitchen. "Good morning you two!" Nina said cheerily as she finished cooking breakfast for everyone. The silver-haired girl handed a plate to her younger sister. ["Good morning!"] ["B-bonjour..."] "I made you guys toast and bacon. Go ahead, take some." ["N-n-no Pokemon food?"] Burgundy asked nervously. "Of course not. You said you two were human, right?" Burgundy suddenly smiled an adorable smile that caught Cilan by surprise. Burgundy's tail wagged happily and her eyes sparkled. ["OUI! OUI! MERCI! MERCI BEAUCOUP POUR LA NOURRITURE!"] She howled. Nina giggled at Burgundy's sudden outburst of joy, whiles Mia was very confused. Nina placed two bowls down, each with two toasts and a side of bacon. Burgundy was unable to hold the toast in her small, delicate paws, so she held in her mouth. It was difficult to eat, but she didn't really care. She was glad to be eating human food this time around. Cilan smiled at seeing his rival so happy.

Long after breakfast, Nina and Mia went out to buy groceries. ["I'm bored..."] Burgundy sighed as she laid on the chair. ["Hi there! Can I talk to you?"] Burgundy looked and saw the Shiny Luxio from before. ["EKK!"] 'Non! That's her! That girl! She's probably here to use Wild Charge or something on me for turning her into a Pokémon!' The Espeon jumped off the chair in an attempt to run away. ["W-WAIT!"] The Luxio bit down on her tail and tugged. The Espeon yelped at sudden sensation in her tail, she hadn't gotten use to feeling things through her new body part. Burgundy tried to pull herself free but it was no use. Despite the two of them being roughly the same size, the Luxio was heavier. ["I...! just...! wanna...! talk...! to...! you...!"] The Luxio continued to tug on Burgundy's tail.
["No-no-no-no-no! Non!"] ["Huh? What's wrong?"]
["S-s'il vous plaît, ne me faites pas de mal! P-please, forgive me! Don't hurt me!"] ["Hurt you? Why?"]
["A-aren't you mad at me? I turned you into a Pokémon! Pourquoi?! Why aren't you mad at me?!"]
["Oh, that... Hmm... Before I try answering that, can I ask what's your name?"] ["M-my name? Je m'appelle Burgundy."]
["Burgundy huh? Well, my name is Lucy! Listen, if I did anything to upset you-"] ["U-upset?! W-w-what makes you think that I was upset?"]
["You certainly seemed upset."] ["I'M NOT UPSET!"]
["Hmm... You hang out with that Shiny Espeon a lot... Were you jealous that I was petting him before?"]
["J-JEALOUS?! MOI?! I-I was not jealous...!"] ["Now you're in denial."] ["I AM NOT IN DENIAL!"] Burgundy hissed as Lucy started to giggle at that moment.
["W-why are you laughing?"] ["Ha-ha-ha-ha! Sorry, but wow! You're worse than Nina when it come to love. Ha-ha-ha! But don't tell her I said that, OK?"]
["O-oui..."] 'Worse than Nina? What does she mean by that?'

Later that afternoon, Burgundy was outside, lying down on the grass as she sunbathed. She was getting use to the rougher lifestyles of a Pokémon. Oddly enough, she's almost enjoys it. "Phiiii~" The Espeon yawned as she lazily flip herself over to lay on her stomach. ["The sun is so warm today, Il est agréable..."] A few minutes later Burgundy heard something, a strange rustling sound. 'Huh? What was that?' Her ears perked up as she got up and looked around. Suddenly, something latched on to Burgundy's face. ["AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! G-GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF!"]
As she shook her head recklessly, she opened her mouth and used Shadow Ball. KA-BOOM! Whatever it was, it's off now. She then realized that it was Joltik! ["AH! Joltik! Désolé! I didn't know it was you! Huh? J-J-Joltik? J-Jol...tik...?"] She poked the small yellow body with her tiny, furry paw. ["J-Joltik? Are you alright? It's me, Visage de Raisin? Remember? S'il vous plait, you have to be OK. Please be OK... Please! I didn't mean to hurt you, honest!"] All of a sudden, Burgundy was shocked by electricity. ["You better feel sorry for what you did, Grape Face!"] ["UGGH! AND TO THINK, FOR A SECOND THERE, I THOUGHT I ACTUALLY CARED ABOUT YOU!"] Burgundy hissed as she chased the Bug-type Pokémon.
["WAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"] ["GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE INSECTE!"]
["Wait! I came to you for help!"] ["And why would I help you?!"]
["U-um..."] ["Hmf! I'm going back inside!"]
["B-but..."] ["Au revoir!"]
["A-a-a Pokémon needs help! We need to help it! If we don't help her now then... Who know what will happen to her! She might... I don't even want to think about it!"] ["Wait... What...?"]
["Ya heard me! Now, are you gonna help me or not?!"] ["I never knew that someone needed..."]
Burgundy looked down on herself in shame. ["Je suis désolé..."] She said quietly. When she didn't hear an answer, Burgundy looked up and saw Joltik hopping away. ["H-hey! W-wait for me! Attendez!"]

["H-help..."] A quiet voice called out from inside a small wooden box. Burgundy and Joltik were at a small market, where there was fruit displayed in front of the store. The box was nailed shut. ["Alright French Fry! I just need you to open the box! Ya think you can do that?"] ["I-I can try..."] Burgundy focused on the wooden box.
["What are you doing?"] ["Um... To be honest, I don't know if I can break the box without hurting her."]
["Well, ya better hurry! She doesn't have a lot of air in there!"] ["OK, OK, just let me think for a moment..."] 'I don't even what type of Pokémon she is... What move should I use? A move that does very little damage... Maybe, if I Tackle this box...' Burgundy took a few steps back, then charged headfirst towards the box! The wooden box broke apart and inside was fruit that was shipped from Kalos. ["Oww..."] Burgundy wined. ["Alright! You did it! Not bad, Grape Face!"]
["E-excuse me... M-m-miss... C-can you... h-help me up... P-please..."] The quiet voice said. Burgundy searched through the fruit, seeking out the Pokémon that needed help. Underneath the fruit was a Red Flower Flabébé. ["Uggh..."] The little Fairy-type Pokémon moaned in pain, barely keeping her eyes opened. ["We better take her back to Nina's place."] Burgundy suggested. ["R-right!"] Joltik answered as he brought Flabébé on to Burgundy's back. The store owner came out of the store with his Zoroark. "Hey!" He shouted. "W-what are you doing to the fruit?! Zoroark, go get them!" ["AAHH! W-w-we got caught!"] ["R-run, Curly Locks, run!"] The Espeon dashed off with Joltik and Flabébé on her back. 'Something about this seems awfully familiar...' Burgundy thought as she ran back to Nina's house.

"You did the right thing by bringing her here." Nina said. "We better let her rest for a bit." Burgundy watched over the Flabébé like a Braviary protecting its peers. ["I hope she's alright..."] She let the little Fairy-type sleep next to her. Cilan went to check up on how's Burgundy was doing. ["Burgundy? Are you OK?"] ["O-oui..."] ["Nina is making lunch, are you hungry?"] He asked as he stroked her tail with his paw.
["Ah!"] ["What's wrong?"]
["D-don't stroke my tail like that!"] ["What? You mean... like this...?"]
["A-ah! I said arrête! S'il vous plait, d-d-don't...! A-arrête...! I-it feels weird!"] ["Weird?"]
["Oui, I'm not used to having an extra... appendage yet."]
Burgundy blushed until her face turned as red as a Cheri Berry. ["Oh. I see. Well, I'll bring you something to eat, alright?"] ["Très bien, merci."] Cilan went back to the kitchen. Burgundy stared at her tail and then started stroking it. It felt soft, really soft, like a long fluffy row of velvet. She resisted the feeling of cuddling with her own tail as she felt the softness with her sensitive paw pads. 'Is my fur really this soft?' Burgundy thought. 'So soft... Is this why Cilan loves to cuddle me so much? I'm so soft... and cuddly... Cilan thinks I'm cute too! To him, I'm a cute, soft, cuddly Espeon...!' ["I'm back Burgundy~!"] Burgundy saw Cilan bringing a large picnic basket.
["Cilan, what's this?"] ["I thought we can have a little picnic together. If you don't mind."]
["But what about Flabébé?"] ["We'll have a picnic right here. You can keep an eye on her whiles we eat."]
["Um... O-okay..."] She said as Cilan used Psychic to take out a plate of sandwiches. ["Alright, time to eat!"] ["Bon appétit..."] Burgundy said very quietly as she takes small bites out of her sandwich.
["Mmm~! Ce bon gout!"] ["Do you like it?"]
["Oui, it tastes really good."] ["By the way, you have a little bit of ketchup on your cheek."]
["Really? Où?"] ["Right there."]
["W-where?!"] ["There! Right there!"]
["Where?! I don't see it!"] ["Here..."]
Cilan licked the ketchup off of Burgundy's cheek, which caused her to blush. ["Cilan..."] 'He's so sweet.' ["Burgundy, I brought something."] ["What is it?"] Cilan took out a ball of yarn. ["W-w-why would you bring that thing?"] ["I thought we could have a little play time after we finish eating."] ["Umm, w-well..."] The Shiny Espeon started to roll the ball of yarn on the floor, catching it back and forth in between his paws as he waited patiently for Burgundy to finish eating. Burgundy tried to resist her urge to play and continued to eat her sandwich, but her Pokémon instinct grew stronger with every bite she took.
Finally, she snapped. ["Fils! Fils! Gimme-gimme-gimme~! Je veux jouer! Je veux jouer avec le fil~! Gimme the yarn, s'il vous plait~!"] Cilan stared at her, surprised. Then he thought for a moment. Burgundy has been trapped in an Espeon's body much longer than he has, in fact she's beginning to act child-like in a way.
Burgundy pounced on top of Cilan and the two of them played with the yarn ball. They rolled the yarn back and forth to each other. They didn't know how it happened, but somehow the two of them gotten tangled together in the yarn.
["Uh... C-Cilan, how do we get out of this?"] ["I'm not exactly sure..."]
["Oh..."] ["Look on the bright side."]
["Comme quoi?"] ["At lease we're close to each other and we can take this time to get to know one another."]
["Quoi? B-but it's not like we have anything to hide... D-do we?"] ["O-of course not...!"]
["Cilan... Are you... blushing?"] Burgundy tilted her head. The Shiny Espeon smiled. ["You're blushing as well."] ["H-huh? I am?"] She asked. Cilan answered with a nod. Burgundy then tripped over some of the yarn, causing her rival to fall on top of her.
["Aahh!"] ["Eep!"]
["B-Burgundy! Are you alright? I didn't hurt you, did I?"] ["N-non, you didn't..."]
["That's good."] ["Cilan, we're kinda... stuck..."]
["Oh, that's right. Um, maybe... I can't use Swift here, I might hurt you... Do you know how to use Cut?"] ["Non..."]
["I see."] ["I guess we're stuck here for a while."] Burgundy sighed. In a strange way, she feels happy, but also a little nervous. Then, the two Espeons heard a voice. ["Maybe I can help."] The sweet little voice belonged to Flabébé. ["F-F-Flabébé! You're awake!"] Burgundy squeaked.
["Hello there!"]
["Can you really help us?"]
["I know how to use Magical Leaf, I think I can cut the yarn if I try."]
["Well, what are you waiting for! Aidez-nous!"]
["A-alright..."]
Flabébé started spinning, then released several glowing leaves at the two Espeons. ["Eep! Cil-Oouff!"] Burgundy cries got muffled by fluffy, green fur when the Shiny Espeon held on to her as the Magical Leaf attack cut the tangled yarn. ["Don't worry, I'm here."] He said.
'He's so soft... Il est tellement chaud... C'est mon ange...' ["Mmm... Purr..."] Burgundy closed her eyes as she buried her face in her rival's fur. Flabébé finished cutting the last bit of the yarn. Cilan looked down and saw his rival rubbing up against him.
["Burgundy, what are you doing...?"]
["Purr~! H-huh? Oh! Um, désolé, Cilan. I, um... I-it's just that, y-y-your fur, c'est si doux et moelleux... I-it's just... so soft... For some reason, my petit Espeon body just wants to snuggle with it... I don't know why...!"]
Cilan smiled then looked at Flabébé. ["Flabébé, Joltik is upstairs. He's the one who told Burgundy that you needed help."] ["Really? I better go thank him!"] The little fairy Pokémon flew away. ["Cilan..."] Burgundy uttered. The Shiny Espeon suddenly hugged Burgundy tightly. She didn't resisted him. In fact, embraced him as the warm surround her body. Just then, she let out a big yawn. 'That's odd... Why am I so sleepy all of a sudden...' She thought as her rival chuckled. ["Looks like someone needs a nap~!"] ["Oui..."] 'I guess it make sense, I am supposedly a 5 months old Espeon.' ["C-C-Cilan, do you... D-do you want to take a nap with me...?"] ["I'll be happy to."] The two Espeons laid down in their soft, cozy pet bed. ["I'll see you in our dream, my dear Burgundy."] ["H-huh?"] 'Oh, that's right! We can see each other in our dreams now! C'est étrange, thinking about it kinda makes me excited. Wait, non! If I get too excited, then I won't fall asleep! Sleep! I need to calm down and sleep! That's it! I'll use Calm Mind!' Burgundy's gem started to glow as she used Calm Mind. 'Ahh, that's better...' She yawned then drifted into unconsciousness as she fell fast asleep.

"Huh? Cilan?" Her rival gave her a warm smile. Her head was on his lap. "Hello, Burgundy. I got a surprise for you." "W-what is it?" "Look up." "Huh?" She stared into the sky and saw the most beautiful meteor shower she has ever saw, several shooting stars streaming over the crystal clear sky filled with many clusters of stars and galaxies... "You did this... for me?" She asked. "Of course, I would do anything for you." "Cilan..." 'This reminds me of our first date...! Laying down, staring up in the night sky... I wonder... He thinks I'm cute as an Espeon, but I guess that's justified, right? I wonder what he thinks of me now...' "Um, Burgundy?" "Y-yeah?" "Were you thinking about us as Espeons?" "W-why would you think that?!" "Your ears." "My... ears?" Burgundy put her hands towards her ears. She felt something large and warm, with fur as soft as velvet.
"Eep! M-M-MY EARS!" Burgundy, feeling embarrassed, sat up and faced away from her rival as she tries to cover up her Espeon ears. 'Oh, come on! Not even in my dreams, I can't help but become an embarrassment to myself and to Cil-' "H-huh?" Cilan wrapped his arms around Burgundy and brought her to sit on his lap. "Cilan..." "Don't be embarrassed Burgundy." "But my ears... Ears like these look weird on a human. A-and for some reason, they won't go away... Why...! Why won't my Espeon ears go-!" The Gym Leader held her close and kissed her repeatedly near her jaw joint, right next to her large, fluffy ears. "C-Cilan~Nnnnn~!" "Burgundy, you know I love you in both forms, right?" He said as he continued to kiss her down her neck. "R-really? Avez-vous sérieux?" "Yes, I love you, in both forms. I love Bibi and Burgundy." "J'aime Cilan et Lani..." "Would you like to have some fun?" "L-l-l-like what?" "Anything you want, or would you like me to surprise you." "Well..." "Or maybe could tell me about those dreams that were bothering you a few days ago?" "Quoi?! W-well..." Burgundy looked away in embarrassment. Why would her rival ask her that? Cilan sees how uncomfortable she is about this topic, so he decided to make things a little easier on her.
Burgundy heard a cute high-pitch "Espi!" from behind her. She turned around and saw a Shiny Espeon with a fluff of fur on his head. "C-Cilan...?" She said as the Espeon climbed on to her lap. "Espi-espeon!" "...Or Lani?" "Espi!" "W-why did you do this?" "Espeon~!"
"Lani" started to rub against her as he purred softly, comforting Burgundy as she wrapped her arms around him. 'He's so cute... I wonder... Maybe, if I...' Burgundy started to stroke the fur on the Espeon's tummy. "Espi-purr~! Purr~!" "You like that, don't you?" "Espeon~!" Burgundy smiled at him. 'How... cute.' "I had dreams about you, you know. But back then, I was so confused. I, uh, I'm sorry for making you worry about me these pass couple of days."
"Lani" then started to lick Burgundy on the cheek. "H-hey!" She giggled. "Cilan, stop it!" Her giggles slowly became the sound of laugher as "Lani" tickled her with his tongue. "Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Tee-hee-hee-hee! Es-espi-hii-hii-hii-hii~! Espi-hii-hii-hii-hii... ...Es?" Burgundy realised her laugh became a sound a Pokémon makes. "Espeon?" 'What? I turned into 'Bibi' again? I didn't even...' "Espi~!" Bibi looked at Lani, who wanted to play with her. 'But, did Cilan...?' The two played with each other for the rest of the evening, exploring new paradises and having fun in their dreams, they love each other even more than ever before.
