Eeveelution Five (Season Two)

(S2E16) Desire and Determination

After dinner, Winter let out a soft growl as she went walking back to her room. She didn't want to admit that she had loved the dinner, so after finishing, she had rushed out of the kitchen.

Before she made it to the room she had shared with the girls all of her childhood, she stopped in the middle of the hallway.

That seemed to satisfy her thirst, wiping her mouth. "I wonder how Sparky's sleeping..." She walked to Spark's room, opening his door silently.

The Jolteon was sleeping soundly, a bit of drool running from his mouth.

"Aw..." She gushed silently, walking over and bending down to look at his face.

"Ughh... Winter...?" He asked groggily, his eyes opening slightly.

"Shhh... Get some sleep, Sparky." She kissed his forehead. "You overwork yourself too much."

"Sorry..." The Jolteon apologized before falling asleep again.

She smiled lovingly at her sleeping boyfriend. "You cute dummy... I love you." She kissed his forehead again before standing and quietly leaving the room.

The memory of her last real contact with her boyfriend played through her mind before she could even try and stop it. Who was she kidding? She missed him so much, and wanted nothing but to see him and the others again.

She missed the feeling of Spark's lips against hers. The lips that always let her know that everything was okay. The same lips that had confessed to her that amazing day.

He would always be there for her, wouldn't he?

But why wasn't she there for him?

She knew him well. Spark would most likely take this hard. Especially when she was always the one worried about Spark.

She stubbornly wiped the tears that seemed to be welling up in her eyes. "No. I won't cry."

Before she could continue walking, a paw grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the room that the boys used. She was confused, and was surprised enough to not fight back against the pull.

Once she was inside of the room, there was a Flareon with a red scarf around his neck. "Hey, Alice..." He waved awkwardly. "It's been a while..."

"Flame...?" Her ears perked as her eyes widened slightly. The Flareon gave a soft nod in response. "Flame!"

The Glaceon jumped forward and hugged him tightly, nuzzling him happily.

"It's nice to see you too..." He smiled, "...I'm glad that you were able to get away for a while, though..."

She sat next to him, letting out a sigh. "You have no idea what I've been through, Flame... And how much I put the others through."

"The others?" He tilted his head confusedly.

"Right." She mentally facepalmed, "You don't know about them, let me explain."

"Go ahead."

"I live with four other Eeveelutions in a shared home." The Glaceon began to explain. "First is a Jolteon named Spark, and his younger brother Aiden, a Flareon."

"Mhm." The Flareon nodded along.

"Next is a Sylveon named Skylar." She continued, "She's a bit of a wild card sometimes, and she is very affectionate towards the one she loves. We became so close that I started calling her sis occasionally."

"She sounds like fun." Flame chuckled.

"Then there's Tyler. He's pretty competitive when it comes to... Anything." She giggled softly, "He's also a glutton."
