Part 7 - Sharing a Home

Hi all! Just a friendly heads up, I've tried to update every day, but this week I might miss a couple days. I hope you like part 7!

Third person P.O.V. Focused on Jayralia

Jayra woke up to a bright light shining through her closed eyelids. She groaned, trying to lift a hand to block the brightness, but couldn't move her arm. Surprised, she opened her eyes to see herself at the center of a pile of pokemon, then remembered the previous night. She smiled at her new friends, all of whom were still sleeping. Zorua, feeling her move, opened his eyes as well, and nuzzled her face.

"Good morning to you too!" She laughed.

When everyone was up, they all ate fruit for breakfast outside on the picnic blanket. A little while later, her parents had to leave for work, and she kissed them goodbye, before running off to play.

Something odd Jayra noticed as the morning went on, was that everything beyond the tree line was soaking with rain, but the meadow, and the meadow only seemed to have been spared by the downpour from last night. She soon forgot about this though as she, the two Eevee who had been first to come to the party last night, Purrloin, and Zorua pretended to be on a quest to find a mythical treasure on a forgotten island.

Eevee 2 (Jayra had to give them numbers because she couldn't tell them apart) had just fallen into a rushing river, (a.k.a. the stream) and the rest of the adventuring party was holding out a branch for him to grab, when Zorua, (using illusions to change his appearance) jumped out from the trees in the form of an angry Pyroar.

Zorua pretended to use Flamethrower causing the rest of the group to scatter. After a fierce mock fight, it looked like Zorua/Pyroar had won, when Eevee 2 (pretending) evolved into Umbreon and saved them all by defeating Zorua/Pyroar with Dark Pulse. Zorua dropped the illusion, and they continued onward.

They played the game for the whole day, stopping only to eat lunch and some snacks, before coming to the 'cave' that was actually Zorua's den. But when they got there, they all stopped in surprise.

"Oh no." Jayra whispered.

Instead of them seeing a thick leaved bush overhanging a dugout area, they were greeted with the sight of a flooded hole with an uprooted bush next it. Zorua horrifiedly looked over the storm caused wreckage of his home. He turned back toward his friends, giving them a pleading look that said, 'what do I do now?'

The game forgotten, they crowded around him in a hug, offering what comfort they could, but no one was sure how to help. Zorua had to sleep somewhere that night, and the ground most certainly would not be comfortable being wet. Then Jayra had an idea.

"Hey Zorua," she said tentatively. "Um, if you want...you could sleep in my house."

The black fox stared at her with gratitude in his eyes. "Zor." He said, and nodded.

That night, buried under a mountain of covers and pillows, two friends whispered to each other as they tried to keep quiet and not draw attention to the fact that they were staying up later then they were allowed to. After they finally calmed down, Jayra thought about the amazing day she'd had, and the wonderful time the night before.

"How did I get such awesome friends?" She thought sleepily. Next to her, Zorua was wondering the exact same thing.

Third person P.O.V. Focused on N earlier that morning

N woke up feeling like his head was stuffed full of cotton. Groaning, he rolled himself out of bed, and sniffed, noticing that his nose was stuffed up as well. Last night, he had come home soaked to his skin, brushed passed his sisters, and fell asleep on his bed in damp clothes. Now this morning he was wondering if seeing the events of last night's party had been worth the cold he had obviously caught. Concordia and Anthea were never going leave him alone after this.

As he expected, his sisters freaked out when he came into the room.

"N!" Anthea cried. "You're sick!"

"What are you doing out of bed?" Concordia asked. "You should be resting! I knew we shouldn't have let you stay outside last night."

"Relax." N muttered. "I'm fine."

The two girls next to him took the role of big sisters too seriously. It's not like he was dying! He was just a little sick. N felt a tickle in his nose, and sneezed loudly. Okay, maybe more then a little sick.

He was encouraged, (read as forced) to stay in his room and rest all day, which got boring after a while. Time dragged so slowly N thought Dialga might be playing a cruel joke on him. When at last evening came, he was allowed to get up and walk around. He went outside, and to his surprise saw the two Eevee that he had talked to last night waiting for him.

"N!"  They cried happily.

"Hello my friends." He said. "What brings you here?"

"We wanted to thank you for telling us to give the human girl a try. We are friends now, and we've been playing with her all day! You were right. She is a not bad person."

"You're welcome." N said, smiling for the first time that day. "I'm glad you found a new friend."

He bid farewell to them, and they dashed off into the forest, their laughter echoing through the trees. As he turned to go back inside, N found himself answering the question he had asked earlier. Yes. The cold had definitely been worth it.

Done! I hope I'm getting N's character right in these chapters. I love him so much!
