Spike's POV

I knocked heavily on Flareon's door, peeking through the gap. His light was off, so I assumed he was still asleep. That would never do. We were just about to go out to a party. Sylveon and Glaceon's birthday party in fact. Wonder how it'll go this year.

When I got no answer, I slowly pushed open the door and tip-toed in the dark room. I walked carefully over to the double bed and shook the covers lightly. When I got no answer I whispered "Flareon? Flare? Solar? Wake up. Hello? Flare? Solar?" I shuddered when there was still no answer and ran out the room.

"Espeon! Vaporeon!! Flareon's dead!"

"What?"

"Yes, I checked in his bed and he didn't answer!"

"Jolteon, did it ever occur to you that he might be awake already?"

Right at that moment Flareon walked nervously out of Leafeon's room and squealed when he saw me watching him.

"Flareon! I thought you was dead!"

"Wh-what?" Flareon glanced around, cheeks growing even hotter at the amount of pokémon in the room.

"Jolteon relax" Espeon glared at me "Flareon it's okay you don't have to explain yourself"

"Yes he does! Why was you in Leafeon's room!"

Flareon jumped back at my sudden aggression. The others looked shocked at my voice. Oh great, my accent was breaking out. I guess this must've been the first time they heard my accent come out.

"What just happened?" Vaporeon looked stunned

Leafeon strode out of his room, looking confused, "Why is Flare shouting?"

"It is not me, Leafy, it was Jolteon"

"Jolteon doesn't have an accent"

"Well, tree, sometimes accents come out when you're angry. Is that hard to understand?" I snapped, ignoring Espeon's glare.

At that moment, Sylveon steadily walked into the room, wearing her party dress. Espeon gasped happily. The rest of us just gasped.

"Sylveon... you look... beautiful!"

"That's one word for it" Vaporeon winced as Espeon slapped her round the back of the head

"Honestly, you look like a picture!"

"She didn't say what kind of picture... OW!" I grimaced as I received a slap across the face from Espeon

"Aww, thanks Espy! Where's Umbreon and Eevee?"

"And Glaceon."

"Right. And her. Sorry, sometimes I forget about her, she doesn't talk much"

"She doesn't talk at all"

She talks to me. But I daren't say anything about it. I like Glaceon. She smells like night air and vodka. Like Russia. Like home. I also like her accent. It's Russian but has an Australian twinge to it. My eyes tear up as I remembered my lost childhood.

"Big bro, are you alright?"

"Yes, Flare, I'm fine. I still wanna know why you were in Leafeon's room"

"Uh, because I really..."

"He was sleepwalking again and must've ended up in Leafeon's room"

I shrieked as Umbreon crept up behind me, Eevee trailing behind her and Glaceon stood in the doorframe. Eevee ran and hid behind Leafeon, feeling threatened by the despicable noise that just came out of my mouth.

"What? Never had a girl scare you before?"

"Oh trust me, plenty of times." I said smugly, then facepalmed as I realised what I had said.

"Sissy."

I stared daggers at Vaporeon, until my eyes started to tear up, so I looked away. I brought my hand up to my face and wiped the unwilling tears away.

"Brother, are you crying?"

"What? No!"

"Yes you are Jolteon!! Ha, I knew you were a softie!" Sylveon grinned with that stupid look on her face like she'd won.

"Jolty, why are you sad?" Eevee looked up at me with a pained expression on her face.

"Hey, how come she can call you Jolty and I can't?"

"Because she's five! Don't worry Eevee, I'm not sad! I just had something in my eye."

"Oh. Okay! Love you Jolty!"

"Love you too, Stel"

Eevee smiled at me with pure childish joy and I grinned back at her. She giggled and grabbed Leafeon's hand

"Hey Leafy, will you play with me?"

"Sorry Eevee, I have to talk to Jolteon and Flareon, is that okay?"

"Hm, okay! We'll play later!"

I smiled at the sight before me, but then realised what I was doing.

"Leafeon, does Flareon sleepwalk?"

"Why are we fighting?"

"I lost interest ages ago"

"Jolteon wasn't supposed to cook a croissant..."

"Do you ever feel like a plastic bag?"

"Is this dress too slutty? Or not? I want your serious opinion Espy"

"I do talk. I just choose not to."

"I wanna go!"

At this point Espeon looked so done with us all. I could see the Gem rage building up behind her eyes.

"Okay. Eevee, if you wanna leave, just leave. Glaceon, if you can talk why didn't you just tell us it was because you didn't want to? Yes, Jolteon, Flareon does sleepwalk, you're his brother you should know. Umbreon, I don't want to have to repeat the whole conversation. So just guess what happened. Vaporeon, I think we all lost interest ages ago. No, Flareon, Jolteon wasn't supposed to cook that croissant. It did not taste good. Leafeon, nobody ever feels like a plastic bag. It's just a song lyric. AND YES, SYLVEON THE DRESS IS TOO SLUTTY!"

We all just stood there shell-shocked at what had just happened. But we wouldn't be shocked for long. This just felt like a normal day. At least we had the party to look forward to. Kind of.
