Eloise at the Wedding

chapter 7

Charlie smiled to Darla as he held the door open for her and was just about to close it until Eloise sprang out from the hotel doors and followed her mother. He was going to ask Eloise why she was following her mother, but decided to not find out.

Mr. Salamone was walking down the lobby, then yelped and fell flat on the floor. "Who left these shopping bags here?!"

"Oh, sorry about that Mr. S," Bill noticed. "Not like Ms. Fudo to leave shopping bags lying around after having a spree with Eloise."

"Where are they anyway?" Mr. Salamone asked.

"Um, I believe there was a family emergency..." Miss Thompson spoke up, slightly nervous.

"Well, we better send these up to Eloise's room then." Mr. Salamone said.

"Yes, sir." Bill happily offered to do it since he liked Eloise the most out of everybody else in the hotel.

Darla was going to the nearest body of water on the beach as she stood in front of the gently splashing waves. She reached into her purse and took out a golden shelled necklace and wore it around her neck. Once it glowed, she walked into the water and after a flash of bright light, she was given a pink tail fin and her hair was worn down and she had a seashell bra instead of her coat, hat, and gloves, and now dove into the water to go under the sea. Eloise now had a problem Ditto couldn't breath underwater, but it could transform into any water type Pokemon.

"Ditto, Transform." the girl whispered to her Pokemon as she was now sitting on the sand, unbuckling her shoes and pulling down her socks.

Ditto came out of its Pokeball and waited to hear of what to transform into.

"Transform into... Hmm..." Eloise was trying to think of water based Pokemon her cousins had told her about, then saw a seahorse passing through the water which gave her an idea. "Transform into a Horsea."

Ditto nodded and became a seahorse like creature with a single dorsal fin, a lightly curled tail, and a ridged belly. As soon as Ditto transformed into Horsea, Eloise picked it up and went straight into the water.

"Come on, we gotta go." Eloise said as they moved out into the water together and as her legs waded for a moment, she was given her own pink tail fin and she swan under the sea with her shape-shifting Pokemon.

"Lead the way." Horsea said.

Eloise nodded and swam down a certain way with her new Horsea Pokemon following her as they passed the schools of fish who went about their business.

Simon screamed and whined in his room. Cherry's eyes flashed open and she sat up in her bed and grabbed her robe, wearing it around her skimpy black nightgown and walked off to go to her youngest child's room.

Forte was sitting in a rocking chair while Simon wailed. "I tried everything, but he won't settle down, Cerise."

Cherry picked Simon up. "What's wrong, baby?"

"Something must be wrong." Felicity said.

"Fliss, you're awake..." Forte said.

"I could not sleep..." Felicity pouted.

"I think there's something wrong..." Cherry assumed as she held Simon as he screamed and sounded like a real baby in distress.

"But what could be so bad that it would cause Simon to cry?" Felicity asked.

"That's a good question..." Forte agreed with his daughter.

"Maybe you can find out Maman through your dream-bending powers." Felicity said.
