As the three of them walked out to the mountain mountain district, Pikachu was feeling more confident.

"I'm really glad to have a place like this Pikachu!. I mean, it would be nice to have a bit of a family!" Raichu said as he walked beside him.

Pikachu thought for a moment. She said it would be nice to have a family. Doesn't she have a family? Pikachu thought.

Then, he remembered his own situation, and felt a bit of a warmth in his heart. And even though he didn't have a family anymore, he still had the trust in his friends to rely on them. Even Raichu seemed to care for him.

"Pikachu!" Eevee said, as he ran up to him.

Eevee then jumped up and down, in an excited state. "So, how are we going to the mountain?" he asked

Pikachu laughed and shook his head. "Well, we won't walk all the way there! I have three bus tickets!" he said excitedly. So we just have to wait for the bus to come.

After waiting for a bit, they were finally sat on their places, and after hearing Eevee describe everything he saw for two whole hours, they got to their destination.

The three of them walked to the mountain district, looking around them as they walked.

"What a pretty place!" Raichu said.

Eevee nodded in agreement. "Wow! This looks like a great place for us to be!" he added.

Pikachu blushed slightly, as Raichu walked up to him, giving him a hug. "It's wonderful!"

"This reminds me of a story I was told when I was little!" Eevee said excitedly.

"It talks about a Glaceon who went out on an adventure to find itself. And it found a place that seemed to have the right kind of people!" Eevee explained.

Pikachu thought it was a cute story, but soon his attention was drawn to a skiing competition.

Raichu and Eevee started to check the maps on the snow. "Alright, let's give it a try!" Raichu said.

Eevee grinned as he jumped over the snow on his rump. "Whoo! Nice!" he yelled as he took a big jump.

Then, Raichu walked over to the slope. "Come on Pikachu! lets try it!" she said, starting to run up the slope.

"Are you sure?" Pikachu asked.

"Of course! I'm a great racer! " she said.

After a few seconds, Pikachu came to the top, and they started skiing down the slope.

"Ha! You're fast! " Raichu laughed.

Pikachu blushed. "Yes, I've learned from the best!"

When they had finished to ski down the slope, Eevee asked what Raichu wanted to do next.

"I'm not quite sure. We should go to the area where the saunas are." Raichu said.

"OK! It'll be great!" Eevee said excitedly.

They then walked over to the sauna, and they went inside. It was pretty warm inside, but it didn't really bother Eevee.

"Pikachu, can I ask you a question?" Eevee whispered, once inside the sauna.

Pikachu smiled and said "Sure. What is it?"

Eevee then whispered "Does Raichu really mean it when she says she wants to take care of you?"

Pikachu blushed. "I uh, I hope so."

"I know so! And I hope that she does that!" Eevee said, then leaning in close to him. "I think she likes you."

Pikachu blushed even more, but answered to him that in no way she could love someone like him. (And also scolded him for saying inappropriate things)

Eevee then smiled and hugged him, saying "OK! I think we should go out and swim in the warm swimming pool!"

"Ha! I bet you can't win me!" Pikachu said excitedly as he ran to the swimming pool, Eevee running behind him. Meanwhile, Raichu stood in the sauna, thinking about herself.

As Eevee jumped in the pool, Pikachu dove in as well.

After swimming around a bit, Eevee started a water war with him. Of course, Pikachu wanted him to have as much fun as possible, and so he decided to take on Eevee.

The water war didn't last long, as Eevee was soon about to drown the poor Pikachu. Later, Raichu dediced to join them in the pool, and had a good time swimming together.

As they decided to call it a day, it was time to return to the orphanage. As they all waved goodbye to the receptionist and were heading back home in the wayback bus, Pikachu started to feel a sharp pain on his tail.

"What's that?!" Pikachu thought. He desired to be Eevee messing with him. He really desired to me Eevee the one who caused that pain. But his soul fell to his feet as he saw Eevee calmly talking with Raichu about the day. It couldn't start again. Not now.

As he tried to calm down, he grabbed the armrest as hard as he could, hoping that it wouldn't attract Raichu's attention. It seemed to work, as he felt the pain subside a bit.

Just then, Raichu looked at him, and smiled.

"I'm sorry to disturb you from your thoughts, but Eevee wants to tell you something!" Raichu said.

"What's that?"

"Well, it turns out that Eevee and I both want to say that we'll be friends forever." Raichu said as she smiled.

Pikachu looked confused.

"I mean, you're my friend too! We all care for each other" Raichu said.

Pikachu blushed a bit at this statement.

"I mean, I'm Y-your adopted... uh... friend Y-you! But I guess it's nice to have friends! I mean, it's not everyday you get an Eevee to choose to be your friend!", Eevee exclaimed, trying to spit as many words as possible in his excitement.

Pikachu laughed a bit, and then thanked them both. Then, the bus informed the passengers that they had arrived to the bus station. Soon, they walked back home.

As the day was about to come to an end, he made a quick summary of the day. It had been a perfect day in all ways. Not only he had finished to open up Eevee to the world, but started to see Raichu as a friend. Of course, she hadn't done anything that could change his deep, intimate feelings about himself, but at least, she accepted him as he was. In any way he expected someone like her to be so supportive. As he walked into the building, it was time for Raichu to leave until next week.

"Do you guys have any plans for tomorrow?" Raichu asked them as she was about to split up.

"On Sundays, all the cubs are given chocolate cookies!" Eevee exclaimed. Raichu smiled at the sheer amount of happiness that flowed from him only at the thought of sweets. Being a cub was sure a magical experience in life.

But Pikachu started to worry, as there was one thing left to do. His ankle started to hurt like hell, that it became difficult for him to stay up on his feet, and he had to make sure Raichu didn't discover his weakness, as there was no way that she wouldn't start to taunt him about it. He had to get to his room, and he had to do it soon.

"I should be going now, Raichu. Bye!" Pikachu said as he tried to stand up.

"Wait!" Raichu said as she dived towards Pikachu. "Eevee, you can go to have dinner. You must be starving!". Eevee said goodbye to her, and soon ran towards the dining hall.

Pikachu watched as Raichu stood in front of him. At that very same moment, the pain he was feeling combined with Raichu's presence made his confidence start to crumble. He could only face her with a crouching posture.

"Don't be so sad! I'm not scolding you, Pikachu!" Raichu said, a smile playing across her lips. She pulled him up to her feet, and tried to cheer him up.

"You don't have to feel so bad! Eevee loves you. I love you. So does everyone else! Please, don't act like this", she said, smiling at him.

"Thanks. I... I guess... That is..." Responded Pikachu as he tried to hide his pain, even though it was harder now.

"It's okay, Pikachu. I wanted to ask you if I could give Eevee a gift", Raichu asked.

"I, uh, think so. Why? " questioned Pikachu, trying to come up with something that didn't sound stupid.

"He has never received a gift before. This will be his first. It will be something that he will treasure for years to come", answered Raichu, trying to get an answer for Pikachu.

Pikachu found it quite an absurd question. However, he wanted her to finish as soon as possible, as he couldn't bear the pain much longer, and he didn't want to feel like a weakling in front of her.

"There isn't any inconvenient. Just a small present, like a small ball of rubber, or..."

"I already have it, but he'll like it, I promise", Raichu assured him.

"He sure will", said Pikachu, trying to walk to his room and finish the conversation.

However, he was grabbed by Raichu again, making him really start to panic.

"Can we go to the beach next week?" she asked. He didn't know what happened with her, but today she was as sticky as glue.

"Oh, yeah, sure. Is that alright? The cubs have some next week, so I can't miss those days, as the cubs tend to worry and get angry if I leave them alone," he said, trying to relax his body, as his muscles were still burning in a soaring pain and tense from the recent scare with Raichu.

"Great! Are we still good friends? I still like you, Pikachu, OK?" Raichu said a bit worried, as she didn't know if she had hurt Pikachu's feelings in any way.

"Yeah. We're still friends", he replied. He was still suffering a physical nightmare, and also fearing that Raichu was nearer and nearer to unveil the truth.

He was relieved that Raichu let him go, and was ready to leave, but before she left, she gave him a last very quick hug.

"OK. Now I can leave in peace. Bye, my friend", she said, as she ran out of the orphanage.

Pikachu exhaled as he had never before, as the wave of relief allowed him to forget for a moment from the pain, which now had spread a bit to his tail. "That was very near" he thought, still in the main hall, rubbing his sore tail. Of course, he skipped dinner and headed directly to his room.

As soon as he entered, he started to pant in agony, as he took some pills from his medicine set and drank a glass of water. As soon as the pain started to subside minutes later, he started to calm down, and was finally able to sleep.
