   Chapter 1:

"Tag!" a brown eevee shouted gleefully.

"Ugh, Jake... you're... too fast." Tobias said between pants. He wasted no time in going after his friend. Hot on his tail, Tobias used quick attack to close the gap. "You're it!"

"Hey! That's cheating!" Jake protested.

"No it's not!"

"Is too!"

"Is not!"

"I-"

"Dinner!" Their bickering was interrupted by Tobias' mother.

"C'mon Prince, race you there!" Jake bolted towards Eva's call. Tobias ran after him.

They were nearing the cave mouth as Tobias took the lead. They were almost there when Jake used quick attack to speed ahead and take the win. "Hey that's not-"

"Fair? It was fair when you did it."

"Fair enough. Let's go eat!"

The two friends sat down to servings of Eva's famous oran berry pie. "Yum! Thanks Mrs. Eva!" Jake exclaimed.

"You're very welcome dear. Eat all you like,
you're growing boys."

"Hey mom, is dad gonna be home soon?" Tobias asked hopefully.

"I'm not sure sweetie, he's been very busy with work lately."

"Oh." Tobias said. He missed his father, they did so much together.

"Cheer up Prince! My bro said that things are toning down," Jake's brother Tom, a jolteon, was a warrior in the same squadron as Tobias' dad. "They should be able to come home soon."

"Oh that's good to hear," Eva said, "It's getting dark, you should get going Jake."

"Ok. Thanks for dinner Mrs Eva. See you tomorrow Prince."

"See ya!" Tobias called as his friend was leaving. Then he remembered something. "Hey, wait up! Marco gets back from his trip tomorrow, lets meet early and surprise him."

"Ok, see you at sunrise." Jake replied, smiling mischievously.

"You should go to bed soon, if you want to get up that early," Eva said, "Go on, I'll tuck you in."

"Mom, I'm not that young. I'm not a baby anymore." Tobias rolled his eyes.

"You'll always be my baby hun. Now go to bed." Eva said, teasing her son.

"Fine, goodnight."

"Goodnight."
