Students all gathered in their science class. "I heard we have a new project this week," Sofia announced to her friends.
"I know! So exciting," Desmond responded. James gave him an awkward look. "What? We get to show off what we've learned. It's always extravagant to display our knowledge," Desmond told his friend.
"Not if you're James," Amber said with a grin.
Vivian began to ponder. She then questioned, "But we've been learning about evolution. How could we possibly do a project based on that?" Clio shrugged as she stated that they may get assigned an animal and find out what they evolved from. "And how would we find that out?" Vivian replied.
Before any of them could say another word, Professor Pecullian entered the classroom. "Good morning, students!" he cried.
The three fairies flew in next. Merryweather was attempting to carry something large which was covered over with fabric. "Let me help with that," Flora said. She waved her wand and it flew out of the blue fairy's arms and onto the desk.
Desmond quickly raised his hand as he asked, "What's that for, Mr. P?"
Mr. P flung the cover off to reveal a cage with adorable creatures. "It's your new project," he answered.
"Awwww!" the students said in unison.
Sofia then added, "I can't wait to find out what these cute little critters evolved from!"
Mr. P began to chuckle. "Oh no no no. These little guys do not have an evolution history," Mr P replied. All of the students became confused. Zandar questioned if they have to observe the animals to find out how they affected the evolution of something else. "You each will be assigned an eevee. After spending enough time with you they will adapt to their environment. You then will report how your eevee evolved based on your experience."
Each student was handed their own eevee. James paused for a split second then stated, "Hey, mine looks funny." Instead of being warm brown with a cream fluff it was a bright beige with a white-silver fluff.
"Ahhh," Mr. P began as he took a quick look. "It seems as though you, Prince James, have gotten a shiny eevee! It does not behave any differently than the rest, it just is extremely rare to find one," he finished.
Hildegard quickly grew jealous as she complained, "What if I wanted the shiny one? I clearly deserve it...!"
"No way!" James countered. "Mr. P already gave him to me, I'm not gonna let you take Sparky."
The two bickered back and forth until Mr. P gave them notebooks. The students would record everything they experienced with their eevee. James quickly wrote 'Sparky' on the cover, the other students soon writing the names they came up with.
Vivian gave a quick giggle as she told her eevee, "I feel like your name is Fluffy!"
After school, the students were all excited as they headed to their coaches. They would get to spend an entire week with these adorable creatures!
