Nature: Playful, Outgoing, Affectionate

Dislikes: Boredom, "icky" food, being alone.

Personality: Cupcake is a fun loving, sweets addicted Pokemon. His trainer discovered that he liked cupcakes completely by accident and because of that, the name ended up sticking with him, which is just fine by him!

He loves friends, and having things to do with them. If it involves food (especially sweets!) even better! He dislikes sitting around idle, much preferring to be on the move (maybe one can blame his sugar intake for this constant energy he has.) Has a bit of a fascination with training, and spends time every day doing so, with or without his trainer present.

His childhood was a bit of a rough bump for him, feeling out of place, unwanted, and a burden to Kelsie, but thanks to Eilam, managed to overcome this feeling. Worked hard to not be an embarrassment to Kelsie. Became slightly moody before he became a teenager, but has once again mellowed out.

Has had a certain cute little sheep/bat on his mind since meeting her, and is more than a little thrilled they're now dating married and raising their twins together.

Cupcakes Dream
(In response to the flat sale prompt)


"Aw man I'm sooooooo bored. There's nothing to doooooooo! All she's doing is watching those stupid movies with all the singing..what's with all the singing, I just don't understand it!" there was a soft huff from him as he rolled onto his back, staring at the television with crossed eyes. "Maaaan why can't she bake. I really like that, especially when she makes those awesome cupcakes for me..." his tail swished impatiently as he watched some girl fighting something called huns. Which he misheard as buns, and it of course made him realize he was hungry, but he was also comfortable and didn't want to move just then.

"Mmm...buns..." there was a yawn, and his eyes drooped watching the movie from upside down. His trainer was on a movie kick, and had been watching all day so as he drifted to sleep, it was no wonder his dreams went all wacky and started to travel between the movies she'd been forcing him to watch most the day, the last thing he heard being "Lets kick some honey-buns!"

So of course, the first thing his dreams went to was him looking older, like so many of the others he'd seen, those really neat looking ones that looked part pokemon, and part human. He looked so cool in his armor and with his sword! The fact that he was facing a horde of armor wearing sticky buns was amusing him to no end, and instead of cutting them down with his sword instead he lept at them, and began to tear them to shreds, devouring them with an unrivaled pleasure. It was no secret that he had a sweet tooth after all.

He'd just sunk his teeth into a third honey bun, when suddenly he found himself facing a large group of cupcakes, in his favorite flavors at that, and he couldn't help stalking toward them, licking his lips, tail flicking behind him in anticipation.

"Poor unfortunate souls..." the thought entered his mind as he attacked, tearing into the soft topping of one cupcake, the wrapper torn loose and he making quick work of it all, the paper left sitting there as he licked fingers grin. "Mm...that was good...who's next!"

Three more fell in quick succession to him as he devoured, and somewhere not in his dreams, there was more singing. "A dream is a wish your heart makes, when you're fast asleep...." so what then did his heart wish? For food perhaps...or something sweet.

Several more dreams passed in which he found himself vanquishing confectionery delights, cakes, pies, brownies, and before long in his dreams he was stuffed, and he heard his trainer laughing. "Looks like you need some exercise now! Come on time for some stoutness exercises." his dream self groaned as he got back to his feet, a groan of near pain coming from him.

"Up, down, up. When I up down touch touch the ground, it puts me in the mood. Up down, touch the ground...in the mood....for food..."

The song amused him to no end, really how could he help but be amused? Though of course he wasn't in any mood for food at this point. He rolled in his sleep, and about that point he heard his trainer calling him. "Cuuuupcaaaake c'mere, I have a snack for you." he woke up and with a stretch jumped off the couch and made his way to the kitchen where he looked at the cupcake his trainer had set down for him to eat.

He got down real low, and prodded at it a little, his dreams fresh in his mind and waiting for it to attack. When it didn't he sniffed at it a little, and whether in response to over eating in his dreams or something else, he actually ignored the cupcake, and went for the completely healthy stuff he normally avoided and ate it instead, causing his trainer to blink in shock. "Well I think that's the first time I've ever seen you turn down a cupcake, cupcake." she reached for it to put it up, only to have him pounce at her hand, and snag the cupcake into his mouth, and start eating it.

He'd eaten his meal, now it was time for dessert! That was his cupcake!

[Lirilei]

Cupcakes Training

He tried to think of how long it'd been since the first time his trainer and he had observed another Pokemon in the middle of a battle, the moves used, and how quick attack had jumped out at him as something he just had to learn! Fortunately, Kelsie had been of the same mind and she'd approached the boy who owned the other, and they got to talking.

Of course it left him time to talk to the rattata that he owned. She was nice, and explained the basics of the move, gave him a demonstration, but told him he needed to work hard at it, to build up his speed so he was sure to master it quickly.

It'd been a month now at this point, more or less and he'd been relentless in getting faster. He'd done everything he could think of! He'd eaten more sweets (and gotten a tummy ache...that had been a very bad idea)...he'd eaten more of the foods he disliked (after all...who could like that stinky stuff Kelsie called brussel sprouts? ewww) but that didn't seem to help much either.

Neither did more (or less) sleep..in fact less sleep made him feel like he'd turned into a slowbro! That hadn't been any fun. So he exercised by running around outside (and inside to his trainers dismay). He climbed anything he could, ducked under and around and behind. Kelsie made an obstacle course for him and timed him, and it seemed like every day he got a little bit faster, but not fast enough.

He stood there today, and he reviewed everything in his head, a determined look in his eyes. Kelsie wasn't home yet, and he had a feeling that today was the day. It had to be! He'd been working so hard at learning this move! Without a predetermined signal he was off and running through his obstacle course, bobbing, weaving, jumping, and when he touched the ground he didn't even feel winded (what a nice change that was!) and he felt like he'd done better than ever.

He was still running the course when Kelsie came home from the store, and she watched him, timing him and when she called out "Great job Cupcake! You've beaten your old time by a long shot!" he was startled and came to an abrupt halt and nearly fell on his face as a result. He looked pleased with himself as he ran over to her, and lept into her open arms licking her cheek as she laughed. "Think you're ready to try a battle with your new move? I think you are."

Two days later he faced off against a Treecko and he was confident. He knew he had this! So when Kelsie yelled out "Cupcake use quick attack!" he was ready and he was off in a blur of fur and he felt himself connect with his opponent who went skittering backwards, leaving him a moment to quickly skip back to where he'd been before. He had this! If it was possible he had a grin on his face as he realized he'd definitely learned the move and win or lose he'd still won because his training on this move was done. Sure it wasn't perfect, and he'd need to practice to get better, but he had the basics, and it was what mattered, it was the foundation for the rest.

[Lirilei]

What a pretty star...flower?


That Kelsie loved to bake was no secret, and at times he wondered what she loved more, decorating her goodies or being a trainer and suspected it was probably a pretty even thing in terms of preference. Not that he minded one bit, it meant he got the responsibility of taste testing a lot of her newest creations, and while some of them didn't taste very good, most were wonderful. It was just a good thing she used to much that was good for people to eat, and not totally full of all the bad stuff.

Today he'd gone off exploring knowing Kelsie was working on a new complex recipe and wouldn't have anything for him to try until much later so he figured he'd do a little training, or exploring. He was resourceful and would find means of keeping entertained while she was occupied.

He was thinking maybe he could find something for her to use to decorate whatever it was she was baking, either a branch of berries that she could pluck off, or something. Sometimes she mixed the things he found in with the batter and it tasted sooooo good biting into a still warm cupcake with fresh berries in it!

Cupcake bounded off in search of something he could bring back to Kelsie when he saw something brand new and he lost sight of his original goal. Instead he was exploring this new thing, trying to figure out just what it was.

"I...don't remember ever seeing this plant here before..." he sniffed at it a moment, surprised when the single flower bud on it opened up and inside was the prettiest...flower....(well it was on a plant...but it didn't look like a flower!) he'd ever seen.

"Never seen a star shaped flower before.....it's so pretty! I bet Kelsie would like this, and could even find out what it is." he bent his head to bite the stem as close to the ground as he possibly could when he found himself yawning. "Wow...I'm sleepy..." he shook his head, fur standing on end as he bit the stem and started walking carrying his pretty star flower home.

"Kelsie will...*yawn* love this I'm *yawn* sure of it...why'm *yaaaaawn* I so tired suddenly..." he stopped a moment and brought a paw up to his face rubbing it over his eyes a little with another yawn that likely should have unhinged his jaw. "Gotta...get home before it wilts..." Yet he found himself laying down instead, his star flower resting between his paws as his head dropped down next to it.

[Lirilei]

Naked Cupcake

"Oh wow...it's dark out here. I fell asleep out here I can't believe it. Kelsie is going to be so upset!" Cupcake started to run back home, wondering vaguely why everything looked so different, so..out of it's usual perspective. Still he didn't pause to get answers instead running quickly, wincing cause the stuff on the ground was hurting his paws, which was also odd.

"Ah...there's home!" he smiled brightly as he ran toward that all too familiar house and toward the small flap installed on the door for him to go in and out of, wondering again why it seemed so much lower down than normal, it was supposed to be at eye level. How...weird!

Still he contorted his body to start through the flap and frowned. "Too...tight...ngh!" his head was through but the rest of him seemed stuck! Why!? He went through...well how long ago was it now?

He could hear Kelsie on the phone as he struggled with his door flap. "I don't know where Cupcake could be, he's been gone since yesterday, and no amount of calling and searching has found him. I'm really worried. Please let me know if he shows up there, thank you." he heard the phone be hung up, and he fought all the harder to get in before giving up.

Cupcake sat there outside the door tears welling up in his eyes...tears? That made him frown a moment as he reached a paw up to wipe at his eyes only to stop. "Why...does my paw look like a...hand?"

He stared at his hand in surprise, fingers closing and opening, hand turned to look it over front and back, and then he realized he had feet, and toes! He wiggled those with a giggle. "Oh wow...I look...like a person!"

He also realized his ears were his usual ears, and he had his tail which was a comfort really. He reached up in a panic then to his throat, and relaxed finding his collar in place. "Oh thank goodness I didn't lose this. It's the only thing I can think of that might help Kelsie recognize me!"

On his feet again he stared at the flap realizing he'd never fit now, and with fumbling hands got the door opened and he stepped inside, and came face to face with his trainer who stared at him with wide eyes.

"Who...are you and why are you naked!?" she was beyond surprised of course to have a naked child in the kitchen, who had...ears and a tail? Was he trying (badly) to cosplay?

"Kelsie! It's me, it's Cupcake!" "Impossible! Cupcake is a little Eevee, not...some naked boy in my kitchen!" "But Kellllllssssiiiieeee! I swear it's me, don't you recognize my collar you gave me?" She looked at it, and he saw the puzzled look on her face.

"Cupcake?" "Uh-huh it's me!" "But...how?" "I dunno. How'd Dea's get to looking like they did?" Kelsie looked puzzled a little longer, and shook her head. "Well..I need to find you clothes, you can't stay naked. Maybe Eilam can explain things to you...about being like you are now." because there was things she couldn't teach a boy after all!

"So you believe me? You believe I'm Cupcake?" "You do look like you did before. Your fur...turned just how I would have pictured your hair being if you were...well like this. Yes, I believe that you're my Cupcake." "Yay!" and he flung himself at her and hugged her tightly licking her cheek, and she laughed some. "Alright first rule. No hugging naked. Second rule, you probably shouldn't lick people anymore. It's sorta...weird now." "Oh..okay. I have a lot to learn don't I?" "You do, but don't worry we'll all help you."

Cupcake knew it'd take some work, and many lessons and reminders to get it all down, but he was determined to make it work!

[Lirilei]

Walk Like an Egyptian and other such nonsense

Cupcake was adjusting...somewhat slowly to his new form. The fact he had hands with opposable thumbs and then the whole legs thing. He was mesmerized by his new body some days, and others is just down right confounded him.

Today was no exception. Kelsie had shown him how to work various things now that he was able to, and that included the radio. He'd always liked listening to music, and now was no different. Except now he found himself inexplicably gyrating to the notes.

Of course he was completely uncoordinated and untalented but it didn't stop him from enjoying himself. The radio dial was spun to various stations and he listened to a wide variety of things, letting his body move as it wished to the beats. So he found himself jumping up and down, bopping back and forth, and generally just making a fool of himself.

Then on came a song that said to 'walk like an Egyptian' and he was stymied. How did an Egyptian walk? Kelsie was busy so he couldn't ask, and he shrugged it off and went back to enjoying the music to a point. Except the next song said to 'walk this way' and he flailed a bit.

"Walk what way?! I don't know what way you want me to walk!" he was yelling at the radio in frustration at this point, and quickly switched the station before he completely lost his cool. Except that song left him even more confused and he sat down on the floor staring at the radio. "How...do you set fire to the rain? Fire is weak against water! This song doesn't make any sense at all! Stupid music!" and with that it was switched off entirely and he rubbed the back of his neck with a sigh.

"The more I learn about being like this...the less I truly understand." he shook his head a little...but reached out to turn the music back on. He really did like it. Maybe he could find something without words to listen to. He managed, except the music was sooooo slow and boring he started dozing off a little. "That's no good...maybe to go to bed to...but not now!" finally after slowly turning the dial and painstakingly tuning the dial he found music that had no music, but lots of good beats, and he was back to jumping around like a maniac.

To the point that after awhile he got tired and sat down to rest a moment...only to doze off curled up on the floor where Kelsie found him a short time later. She switched the station back to her preferred one before turning it off, only to hear Cupcake talking in his sleep. "Stupid Egyptians and their walk...not walking.." and she couldn't help but laugh some with a shake of her head as she covered him with a blanket to let him sleep. "Guess he got his fill of music today."

[Lirilei]

Cupcake vs Luvdisc!

"I dunno Kelsie...you sure it's a good idea for me to learn this TM?" "I don't see why not Cupcake. You're strong enough for it. You know quick attack, and I think you learning double team makes sense. You might find it handy."

Cupcake shrugged and nodded taking the TM from her, and opened the case it was in. He felt an odd sensation, a sharp pain behind the eyes which dropped him to his knees with a wince, but suddenly he knew just how to do the move!

He was glad they were outside, and thought it took him a few moments to get back to his feet, shaking his body out like an animal shaking the water from it's self, he was bright eyed once he had, tail puffed out behind him.

"Alright lets try this..."

"Alright Cupcake, use quick attack followed by double team!"

He took off at a spring, amazed at how much faster he could run now in this new form, and he got faster with quick attack, and within moments he had several copies of himself all running and dodging around the obstacle course Kelsie had set up.

"Good job! Try dodging and weaving from the start next time so its harder to keep track of which one is really you."

"Okay Kelsie!" all four of him raised their right hand with a raised thumb, his voice echoing in four part harmony, and he laughed losing concentration, and he came to a stop hands resting on his knees.

"That was weird! Lemme catch my breath and we'll try again, then you can use your friends Luvdisc you're babysitting to see how well I do." "Sounds good Cupcake, let me go get her."

She stepped in while he dropped to rest a moment, and out she came a few moments later and moved over to the small pond their family had on the grounds. "Alright Luvdisc come on out. Cupcake needs your help." A few moments later the Luvdisc was there and Cupcake was on his feet ready.

"Okay Cupcake, one more time!" "You got it Kelsie!" and he was off and running again toward the pond, this time his copies were moving back and forth quickly, mixing themselves up. "Quick Luvdisc, use water gun!"

She watched as her friends pokemon shot out a spray of water and only got a copy Cupcake. "Again Luvdisc!" "Luuuuuuuuv!" and out came another shot of water, this one catching Cupcake full in the face. "Good job Luvdisc you found him! You did great Cupcake!"

There was a snicker as she saw him standing there dripping wet and looking slightly unhappy about that fact, ears twitching to get the water out of them. "Well I got the move down...needs some work but that's what practice is for anyhow. For now, I wanna dry off. The downside to this form, is my clothes are now soaked. Ew."

[Lirilei]

You want to WHAT!?

~Three months after Cupcake initially grows to child form....

"I don't know if I want you learning this move Cupcake." "Why not?" "Because it's dangerous, that's why! There's a reason it's called Double-Edge!" Kelsie stared at him, shaking her head with a sigh.

He was becoming more obstinant, so much like boys her age and it was worrisome really. It'd been months now since he'd gone from being an Eevee, to this child form...and having seen Eilam, she wondered if perhaps the same thing wouldn't happen to Cupcake, that he'd end up growing up more. It would explain his attitude lately, and why he'd grown a bit more reckless in the last few weeks.

"If you don't want to watch, then go back inside Kelsie." there was no smile on his face now, and it was so weird to see this serious look on his face, it just didn't seem to fit well on his usually happy face. "I don't plan on really ever needing to use this." "Then why learn it!?" "Because you never know when it'll come in handy. Go inside Kelsie." his words were hard, and he actually glared at her till she went inside.

"There. Distractions gone. I've watched the move done more than once. I know how to do it...now to just do it." he was a little concerned he had to admit, but he didn't dwell on it. "Can't back out now..made a big enough stink about practicing this move...now do it!"

He had some tackling dummies set up...except he'd made it so he had to leap over a pit to get to them, and at the bottom was some poking up sticks. If he didn't jump far enough he'd fall and end up being stabbed by them. Harsh he knew, but how else was he to learn a life-threatening move? It wasn't like he wanted to test it out for the first time ever when it was a real life and death situation!

A few deep breaths were taken, his eyes closed and he took off running, a burst of speed put on as he neared the pit, and with a yell he jumped as hard as he could and missed! He slammed into the opposite edge, and felt one of the sharp sticks prick his foot hard enough to bleed as he flailed trying to get up.

Once he was up he lay there catching his breath, and then looked his foot over. "Sore..bleeding...it'll heal." he pulled out some bandages from his pocket and wrapped his foot up and secured it, excess back in his pocket and he was up on his feet again, limping but determined.

Kelsie was fortunately not looking out the window as he tried over and over, and continued to fail at clearing the pit. "Maybe I made it too wide..." he was slightly discouraged after his sixth fail. Both feet were wrapped, as well as a hand. He'd managed to avoid the spikes half the time, though part of his tail was a bit tender. "Okay...once more."

A deep breath was taken and held before he let it out focusing. "You can do this..." his eyes snapped open and he was off at a run ignoring the pain, and he jumped later than he had been, felt his foot push off the edge of the pit as he launched himself forward...and crashed into his dummy sending it, and him to the ground in a heap.

"WOOHOO!! I did it!! I need to jump later to go far enough! Woohoo!!" The dummy was set up again, and he tested his theory with more energy than that last attempt, and he found it was right, if he waited to the last moment to jump he'd make it!

He lay there in the grass laughing, tackling dummy rolled off in the grass. "Ahhh...I feel so happy now!" he'd been worrying about this move for awhile, but that anxiety was gone now. "Guess I should go inside and let Kelsie look me over. She's gonna be upset seeing me hurt." he shrugged and got to his feet and limped inside, his long missing smile back firmly in place.

[Lirilei]

Dear Journal,

I've had you for...oh I dunno months now. I just haven't bothered to use you till now. Not really sure why I am now either, it feels like I'm talking to myself and I do that enough as it is. Oh well, maybe it's so I feel smarter writing to myself and not talking to myself. Maybe it's just because I'm on bed rest after learning my latest move a few days ago. I'm bored out of my miiiiiiind.

Whatever the reason I'm here trying to make sense of everything. It's like one moment I'm myself...an Eeevee with a trainer, and the next I look like I do now. Like a human boy, but with the tail and ears of an eevee, and it makes me feel sorta self conscious at times. Not all the time, but more so lately it feels like.

I've also been angry a lot lately according to my trainer Kelsie. Though she's said to stop calling her my trainer since I'm not a pokemon anymore. So my friend Kelsie. That's weird too....friend...trainer..friend...bah. She says I'm easier to anger, and that I remind her a lot of the boys at school. Loud, usually angry, argumentative. Then she mutters something about 'teenage hormones' and stops the subject.

Why do I get the sinking feeling I'm in for more changes in my life? I mean I've just gotten somewhat used to being on two legs, and wearing clothes. I'm almost afraid of what could becoming next. Eilam grew up awhile ago, and I was so surprised! I was so used to him looking like he did, and I was so excited...then he wasn't like himself, and now I feel awkward around him. Like I'm a nuisance or something. I suppose it doesn't help that shortly after the first time I saw him after I started to look like this I tried to crawl in his lap and lick him.

....yeah. I'm still kicking myself for that one. Old habits are hard to break, and that was a pretty old habit, licking and nuzzling people affectionately. I keep being given really weird looks anytime I do it. At least I stopped peeing on the trees outside. Kelsie about died when I did that the first time. It's funny actually.

I dunno. I hope whatever's going to happen, happens soon. I'm tired of feeling so...not like me. So angry, and defensive. I want to go back to being my usual happy self.

[Lirilei]

Growing Pains


How strange...my feet are sticking out of my blankets.... Cupcake yawned lightly and tugged his blanket back down over his feet, only to discover now his upper body was now chilly. There was a slight tug of war between his feet and hands as he tried to cover up before he gave up. His blanket must have turned sideways, that's why he couldn't cover proper. So he turned the blanket...only to discover it HAD been the right way.

"Wha...?" there was a low yawn as he sat up rubbing his eyes a moment to clear them looking down at the blanket that was covered with balloons. Kelsie's idea of a good blanket for a little boy...and blinked in surprised. "AAHHH!! Keeelllsssiiiieeee!!!"

Cupcake yelped and jumped from the bed, the long shirt he'd been wearing to bed was now much too small...and the underwear he'd had on beneath had ripped in the night as he grew and so he was struggling with the shirt when Kelsie came in and blinked.

"AH! Naked Eevee!"

She was bright red as Cupcake yanked his blanket off his bed and wrapped it around his waist looking down at Kelsie in amazement. "I'm taller than you!" "Yes...you are...you look older than me now too." he did by a year or so, how interesting. "Wow look how fluffy your tail is...and those long ears!" "Kelllssiiiieeee...what about clothes!?" "Fortunately, I have some for you, though they might not fit right..."

Five minutes later there was a cry of "KELSIE! My ears are STUCK!" Fifteen minutes... "KELSIE! I can't wear these pants without a hole for my tail!!" twenty five minutes, two ear detanglings, and a hole cut out for his tail later he was dressed and looking himself over in the mirror.

"Wow...nice, I like the clothes!" he grinned at the sweater with the silly cartoon face looking pleased that for whatever reason his collar had grown along with him at least. "Alright...lets get some holes in the rest of your things so you can get your tail in." "Sounds good to me!"

[Lirilei]

New Move 1

"Hmm...been awhile since I've learned anything..." he was wandering through town looking at the various shops as he went, and he found one that specialized in Pokemon items and stepped inside looking over the various TM's dismissing several right away because they weren't things he could learn.

One caught his attention though and he picked it up looking at it thoughtfully. Maybe...

He continued to poke about the store, and finally with the TM in hand he moved to the register and paid for the new move.

The bag was stuck into his pocket and he ambled back out and into the streets. He found a quiet park and settled onto a bench the TM pulled out and looked over.

After a couple times he was pretty sure he knew the new move and eased to his feet making sure the area was clear before he attempted it, he swung his hand through the shadows of the tree he was under and felt the power in his hand, a dark ball of energy in his hand that he threw towards a tree watching it shake, leaves falling from it.

Now...he'd have to try this move at home and in the full light to see if he could manage it without having any shade to help him along. Still, he grinned. This was kind of neat.

Once home he did practice for awhile in the yard finally finding a way to manage the move even in direct sunlight. Cupcakes fingers flexed as he cast the latest shadow ball with a chuckle. Why yes, this new move was quite nice, and a good buy.

[Lirilei]

New Move 2

"But I'm not even a water type...why would I want to learn rain dance Kelsie?" "Why did you learn shadow ball? Because you can. You never know when it might come in handy." "Well I guess you've got a point."

He watched the TM, and laughed. "I was afraid with the name there'd be some stupid dance I'd have to do." "Nah. But you're summoning any how, so maybe that's why the name....since rain dances were supposed to summon rain and all." "Probably. Still, glad I'm not dancing."

He watched it again to get the move down and got to his feet and walked outside. No sense soaking the furniture if he did this right!

It took a few tries, but he finally got it on the third, and laughed as the rain did start to fall for a little bit, maybe ten minutes before it cleared up again. It'd only rained in their yard too. Brilliant!

"Heh not a bad little move. Thanks for getting me the TM Kelsie!" "You're welcome Cupcake. I know things haven't been easy since you first changed, but I'm glad you're the way you are now. It's so nice being able to talk to you!" it was as far as she was concerned!

"Come on I have dry clothes set out for you." "Thanks Kelsie." He ran inside laughing, water dripping from his ears and tail as he stepped in. Dry would be SO nice!

[Lirilei]

Nerves

"What am I thinking? I haven't seen her in so long...and here I am, planning on waltizing in there with a lame present and asking her out on a date. She's so beautiful she probably already has a boyfriend. Probably doesn't even remember me. Ugh....I can't do this!"

The Eevee teen was pacing along the street nervously, running a hand through his hair and completely messing it up in the process. He'd liked her since he first met her, and she'd been in his thoughts often. Not quite the forefront, but not all the way at the back either. Ohhh no. She'd been prominent though, and he realized he'd been thrilled to change like he had, because it meant he had a chance with her. Hopefully.

"I can do this...I can!" he strode into the gift shop he was pacing in front of and bought a balloon from in the shop, smiling at it, before he was walking down towards the cafe.
