The Adventures of Royce!

Chapter 11: Royce's 19th Birthday

A bright flash and Vaper jumps out from within.

Vaper: "Is everyone still asleep? Where are the gifts; where are the others? *Vaper notices Cynthia* At least Cynthia has ALWAYS been a somewhat heavy sleeper!" Vaper exclaimed before seeing two stacks; 1 that said "Birthday", and another that said "Christmas". "'Christmas'? I only came for a Birthday!" She exclaimed loud enough to wake Cynthia, whom was yawning as a result and was getting up.

Cynthia: "Vaper? You've arrived very early, don't you think?" Still shaking the sleep from her eyes. "What's in the Water Box?"

Vaper: "I won't tell, and no; I don't think I've arrived early at all! Finding a gift for anyone is NEVER easy; especially if all you do is hang around water, swim, chase and eat fish, annoy or pester your siblings, or occupy yourself with finding pearls all day!..." Vaper refused.

Cynthia: "PEARLS?! What type of pearls?"

Vaper: "Black & White Pearls; the Black Pearls are worth more than the White ones!"

Cynthia: "Do you want me to wake Royce, so he'll take take your gift and put it in the Birthday Stack?" Cynthia asked the Vaporeon.

Vaper: "Please..." She questioned, making Cynthia get up and walk over to Royces' room, but before Cynthia entered his room, she gently woke Snowy up, whom didn't care that she entered the room and went to Royce to talk to him.

Royce: "Cynthia, what is up? Is it the Sixth?" As she continued to bother him, until he decided to wake up after he woke up, he went to his kitchen, made Cynthia, Vaper, Krystal, Eevee, Leafy, Piro, Shockey, Braixen (whom, apparently woke up due to Vaper's and Cynthia's conversations), and Snowy their appropriate types of breakfast. Cynthia ate whatever Royce was eating (which was pancakes and toast.) that made Vaper and Krystal jealous of Cynthia, which Royce overheard and decided to end to settle their jealousy.

Royce: "You two's jealousy will NOT ruin my Birthday! Geese, if you two wanted some you could've asked for some!" Royce replied, making the duo end their squabbling. Then Trump, Spectre, Sgt. Simon, Pvt. Lay, Lt. Brooks, Mjr. Rexu and Sgt. Barbra arrived and entered the highly decorated Ice Fortress, which Trump quoted "Highly skilled, very decorative and extremely precise!"

Spectre: "A 'some-what Festive' feeling could give anyone hope..." Spectre mentioned, putting a smile on the Seal leaders face.

Mjr. Rexu: "A good day to spend quality-time with relatives..." Mjr. Rexu pitched in.

Sgt. Barbra: "...Family..." Sgt. Barbra added.

Pvt. Lay: "... Teammates..." Pvt. Lay also added in.

Sgt. Simon: "... Peace..." Sgt. Simon being the last one to comment, before Cynthia commented as well.

Cynthia: "... And amazing times with those that have supported you during hard, desperate, and tough times." She commented while Royce translated to the other's, earning Cynthia their respect (they bowed in respect of her words.) which surprised Royce.

Royce: "Wow, Cynthia, I never knew you had such BIG things to say, but - - wow..." making him speechless. Then Royce noticed he was missing one person. "Where is Sylveon?" He questioned, no one answered but Eevee.

Eevee: "Mommy's still looking for something special for you. Really, really special!"

Royce: "What? Something that allows inter-dimensional travel?" Royce replied sarcastically towards Eevee, whom laughed nervously.

Eevee: "I can't tell you... it's a secret."Eevee said to Royce before a super-bright, blinding flash occurred (once more!)

Sylveon: "AHHH!!! *the Sylveon trembles terribly* I am NEVER... doing that again! I hope you appreciate ALL the effort I want through for this?!?? Sylveon said, still panting as if she experienced something very terrible and hands Royce the Time-Dimensionalizer.

Royce: "What is this, and why is it unwrapped?"

Sylveon: "It's... a... Time... Dimension... alizer..."  Sylveon said, stuttering in between words. "Go on... try it!" He (Royce) presses the Red Button and was immediately transported to Ancient China.
