The Ribbon That Ties us Together

A hot wind blew against the sandy dunes, spreading its minuscule grains of sand across the barren wasteland. The sun was high in the sky, adding even more heat. Large cacti were strewn about, and the occasional skeleton or pool of quicksand. Nothing alive or moving was seen in this large desert, excluding the mandibuzz that occupied the sky, waiting for something to perish in the heat. However there was a Flareon, that traveled across the desert in search of something new and exciting. Although his searches tended to be more exciting, than the actual finding. Flareon liked the harsh conditions of the desert, and even considered it as his home. Slowly he would take walks out in the hot sun, and happily skip across the dunes of sand. Flareon wore a small coat; usually wearing it without the hood but on rare occasions he put the hood on. Along with his coat that fit him perfectly, he had a small pouch and a clay jug that he hung over his shoulder. Flareon considered his attire, to be useless since he enjoyed the feeling of the sun on his red fur; but he considered it was special, since it had been made for him by his owner before he had deceased. "Phew, the sun's really hot today" the Flareon chuckled, as he headed towards the nearest oasis. He knew the desert like the back of his paw, stepping on the fine grains of sand, he noticed a circle of Mandibuzz in the sky.

Usually Flareon avoided such confrontations with Mandibuzz, but something had piqued his interest, he decided to head towards the location the vultures had been encircling. "huh? is that an..." pausing he slowly encroached upon a pink figure, face down in the hot sand. It was a sylveon and a female by the looks of it, her body slender and beautiful, her pink and white fur wafted in the dry breeze. Flareon shook off his pervertedness of staring at her unconscious body, he placed his ear towards her chest, hoping that it was still beating; and it was. Sighing in relief, that he was able to find the eveelution before it turned into another pile of bones. He put the coat on her to shield her from the powerful sun as he gently placed her on his back. Trying to ignore the subtle breathing down his neck, he made his way towards his home in the desert.

Sylveon opened her eyes in a daze, slowly she got up looking around her as her ears perked up. She was in a small room, it had a brick floor covered mostly by sand. The walls were encribed with hieroglyphs, it seemed as if one of the walls had been taken off and now served as an opening to the outside. Looking at her paws, she had laid in a pile of sandy bath towels that appeared to never have been washed. A bit disgusted of sleeping on them, she turned her attention to a Flareon outside the entrance of the "room". He was apparently cooking something, his mouth held a wooden spoon as he stirred the pot's contents. His ears twitched as he turned around to see Sylveon, alive and awake. "Oh you're awake, how do you feel?" the Flareon placed his spoon down as he approached the fairy type. "Uh I'm fine," her voice had a soft tone to it, "but where am I?" Sylveon moved off of her makeshift bed.

"Well I can't really say... you're in a desert but that's all I know" Flareon chuckled to himself, but he stopped himself after seeing the Sylveon's disappointed face. Clearing his throat, "I do know that I found you unconscious in the middle of the desert, with nothing on you" Flareon gave her a stern look hoping to get a reasonable answer, as to why she went into the desert with no supplies or anything. "Uhm well..." Sylveon pondered her thoughts for a moment, thinking of why she went into the desert in the first place. "Oh I remember! it was to see someone important" Sylveon's brief memory loss had gone, as she smiled warmly. "Must be one important person to go through a desert to visit, not to mention, with no supplies" Flareon thought, however his mind was interrupted when he heard a slight grumbling noise.

The two remained silent, as Sylveon's face was redder than a tamato berry. "Ahaha, well we can talk about it after dinner" Flareon laughed as he poured the hot soup into two wooden bowls. Sylveon drooled at the scent of nourishment, Flareon smiled at her enthusiasm as he began lapping up the soup. "Flareon?" Sylveon said not digging in yet, "can you pass me the spoon?", Flareon stopped his big laps as he gave her the spoon questioning her as to why she wanted it. "My parents always taught me to eat neatly," her ribbons held the spoon tightly as she scooped up the bright orange fluids and gently sipped away. Flareon stared in awe, "Man, I wish I could do that, my life would be so much easier," Flareon grinned as he continued eating, Sylveon looked a bit sad when he had said that, "I wish I never had to eat like this" she whispered in the silent night

The two had finished eating, "Phew I'm stuffed," Flareon said as he fell to the floor, beginning to feel drowsy. "Haa.. me too." Sylveon said forgetting her worries, "Oh and... thank you for saving me, I never really properly thanked you" Sylveon said rubbing her front paw. "You don't need to thank me, just don't go in a desert with nothing" Flareon joked as he turned his back to her while lying down to get some rest. Sylveon stared at Flareon who was sleeping on the brick floor, guess the bath towels were luxury compared to the ground. Sighing, she snuggled in the cache of cloth finding it surprisingly comfortable. Taking in the scent, it smelled like the Flareon that accompanied her, "Like strawberries?" She thought to herself, as she drifted into a deep sleep.

Sylveon had woken up early in the morning, the sun hadn't risen yet but it was about to, Sylveon looked to her side to see Flareon sleeping soundly. Walking towards the entrance, she sat there and collected her thoughts. Yawning Flareon woke up and his eyes sleepily looked at Sylveon. "What are you doing up so early?" the fire type rubbed his eyes as he walked towards her. "I'm just uh... thinking" the fairy type forced a weak smile, the sun was beginning to rise over the dunes, its warm light shining on them.

"What are you going to do now?"

"I...don't know"

Flareon sighed, "How about I bring you to your important person?"

"R-really you'd do that for me?"

"Well I'm pretty sure you won't make it there alive, if I didn't help you"

Sylveon was a bit insulted, but he was right, nodding in agreement Flareon smiled as he began packing his stuff.

"Oh you might want to wear this" Flareon held his coat, and offered it to the fairy type.

"Huh? but won't you need it?"

"Well, not really, you need it more than I do"

"Oh okay, thank you again... for doing this all for me" Sylveon looked down at her paws as she held the coat with her ribbons.

"No prob"

"Do you know where exactly we have to go?" Flareon asked

"Well I think it was a urban area"

Flareon thought for a moment, "an urban area, at the edge of the desert?"

"Now that I think of it, there was a slum-like city that I encountered a while ago, is that it?" Flareon stared at her, hoping she would say no.

"Actually I think so, its a very messy place right?"

"Huh?! really...?" Flareon was astonished that her "important person" was living in the slums.

"Uh yes is there a problem?" Sylveon looked confused, had she said something to upset him?

"No, i-it's nothing, anyway lets find some water first" Flareon stuttered as the two began searching for an oasis. "What the heck? is her special person a muk or something?" the thought kept popping in his mind for some reason, and every time he shook it off. The two eveelutions began their journey, searching for water.

They treaded on the thin sand, maintaining their balance on it was harder than Sylveon had anticipated. One of her paws got caught in the sand as she tumbled down the dune, Flareon barely kept himself from laughing. She landed face first in the hot sand, as she quickly sat up and shook every grain out of her fur. "Blegh! how much farther Flareon? My throats really dry," Sylveon coughed as Flareon pointed toward another mountain of sand. "Don't worry, the oasis is right over this dune." Flareon said with confidence as he helped her get back on her feet. As they began walking up the mound, Sylveon's heart felt relieved to see a large pool of water. It was surrounded by greenery, palm trees and berry bushes, this was salvation in the desert.

Sylveon gazed at her reflection on the clear water, running her ribbons through the refreshing liquid. However this was short lived as Flareon pushed her in the oasis, she gave off a small "eek!" before she hit the water's surface.

Flareon snickered as she resurfaced, "Very funny Flareon..."

"Haha, I'm sorry I couldn't resi- WHAA!!" Flareon felt something grab his leg as he was pulled towards the water.

"Hahaha! now who's laughing!" Sylveon laughed manaically, as her ribbons pulled him tighter as his claws dug onto the side.

"W-wait! Sylveon I can't sw-" Flareon made a big bloosh as he fell in the water.

Sylveon smiled in satisfaction, as she waited for him to resurface and...

"Uhh Flareon?" Sylveon began to panic as she saw him flailing at the bottom of the oasis.

After several minutes she had brought him back to shore, "Flareon I'm so so so sorry!!"

"Hehe, its no problem" Flareon forced himself to smile as coughed up more water, Sylveon still had a sad look on her face.

"I should've been more careful..." her ears drooped along with her tail, but then felt a pat on her back.

"Hey.. don't be so sad about it, I said its fine" Flareon smiled before coughing up more water. Sylveon smiled, the two went back into the water. Flareon sat at the shallow part where only his lower half was submerged. He wagged his tail, swishing the water back and forth and occasionally dipping his head into the water. Sylveon soon joined him as she sat next to him, using her ribbons to wash her face. Flareon felt a bit awkward being in the same bath, since they were of the opposite sex, but Sylveon didn't seem to mind.

"Flareon, you're back is dirty,"

"Huh? uhm, well its kinda hard to wash there without looking stupid." Flareon played around with the water, avoiding eye contact with her. Sylveon giggled as she spun him around with her ribbons, "Here let me wash it for you!"

Flareon didn't feel any need to resist and began to relax, soon he felt her paws going up and down his back, scrubbing away any sand that got tangled in his fur.

"There we go, much cleaner!"

"Uh thanks I guess?" Flareon was unsure of what to say at this point.

"Can you wash my back now Flareon?"

"Wh-what?!" the awkward level had reached its maximum, and Flareon began to stutter from his nervousness.

"Cmon I washed yours now do mine" Sylveon smiled, for some reason she had considered him a very good friend. After several minutes of contemplating, he decided to just to play her game, for now. Sighing, he drenched both his paws with water and began slow up and down movements across her smooth fur. Sylveon placed her upper half on the side of the oasis, relaxing as she laid her head on the dry rock. Flareon began moving to her sides, unsure of how his scrubbing turned to massaging. His paws ran across her firm skin, as it trailed from her neck towards her belly and wanting to go farther.

"Uh... okay that's enough of that" Flareon said nearly unable to control his urges, as he backed away and got out of the water.

"Huh? oh you're done..." Sylveon said sleepily, she had fallen asleep midway.

"I'll set up camp, its nearly nighttime" Flareon said as he hurriedly shook off any remaining water off his body. The sun dissapeared into the horizon, plunging the desert in darkness. Sylveon stood around the fire, and watched Flareon begin to set up his simple cooking set.

"Flareon can I cook today?"

"Uhm sure! why not," Flareon forced a weak smile, somehow he felt more tired than he should be. "Thank you... I don't want to be too much of a burden to you." Sylveon smiled at him, cooking was much easier and faster, thanks to her ribbons. Flareon quietly laid on the soft sand, thinking about the stange events that had occured. After a hearty dinner of pecha berry stew, the two fell asleep beneath the palm trees that surrounded the Oasis. The full moon gave a blue light as it covered the desert in a blanket of stars.

Flareon woke up first, gently he moved away from Sylveon, who was sound asleep. He began lapping up some water, and filled his jug as well. Their journey was coming to an end, Flareon felt a tinge of dissapointment as he walked around in the sand. Sighing, he watched as the night sky slowly dissapeared in the light, a voice came from behind him. "Flareon? what are you doing up so early?" Sylveon walked to his side, Flareon tried keeping his dissapointment at bay, but he had enjoyed her company and he'd hate to lose it.

"No nothing's wrong, I just had some troubling thoughts is all,"

"Hm? like?" Sylveon tilted her head in question.

Flareon thought whether to answer her question, but he shook it off, labeling it as a minor setback.

"Let's just hurry, we should leave before the sun rises." Sylveon nodded in agreement, as the two began packing up. Flareon fought the emotions boiling inside his body, did he develop feelings for her? or was it just disappointment of being alone in the wide desert. "Something's troubling you Flareon, what is it?" her silky voice, would normally have cheered him up, but something in her voice felt... demanding. "I'm just dealing with some troubling thoughts that's all," Flareon had a hard time of stopping her from prying for answers without sounding rude. "Look we're almost there," Flareon turned his head, to see Sylveon, her back on the sand breathing heavily as her paw touched her forehead. Flareon's eyes widened as he quickly rushed to her side.

"Sylveon! what happened?!" his paws trembling as he checked her for a fever or anything that might have caused her to collapse. Sylveon panted heavily as she cringed in pain. "Flareon..." she managed to speak through her agony, to which Flareon grabbed her hand, "What is it?!"

"I.. This heat its unbearable, and I have a really big headache, Flareon"

"No... Sylveon just stick with me ok? You'll be fine, we'll get you to your special person and everything will be fine, just don't die" Flareon's held her paw tightly in his and tried carrying her.

"Wait... I won't make it"

"No you will!"

"I need you to..."

"Don't waste your energy talking!"

"I..I.. love you"

"W-what?! Don't be ridiculous you fool! Please just don't leave me...now"

Flareon placed his head on her chest, desperately trying to hold back his tears. He heard a small giggle escape Sylveon's mouth, as he looked up to see her laughing.

"Hahaha! you should have seen your face Flareon! Priceless!" Sylveon opened her eyes, clearing her throat after realizing that it wasn't funny.

"Flareon I'm sorry ok? But you were being so down I just wanted to see if I was right about something"

"S-sylveon..." Flareon turned away from her and wiped away his tears, and tried maintaining his image.

"You... You are something else you know that"

"I'm glad I am, forgive me?" Sylveon smiled as she patted him on the back, satisfied that she was able to liven up his mood a little.

Flareon breathed in deeply, he was at a dilemma at which emotion would be the right one to display. "Don't ever do that again...ok?", Sylveon nodded and the two went ahead to city. Flareon was a still a bit flabbergasted from her act, but a part of him felt relieved somehow. As they approached the city the orange sand switched to cold stone, and a choking smog occupied the sky around the city. Large heaps of trash shoved in the corners of alleyways, the soil was tainted into a icky green and purple color. Graffiti added a little color to the colorless walls around the city, which was full of cracks and holes. There were many skyscrapers, some of them had fallen apart and left in disrepair, a few weezing flew by, releasing their noxious gasses.

Flareon covered his nose, "Yuck, this place is horrible, is this the right place Sylveon?", Sylveon felt sick being around the poisonous atmosphere but she managed a nod. "Yes, this is it, I think it's over here," Sylveon walked around the outside perimeter and came up to a semi-clean house. It was incredibly small, and looked as if designed specifically for pokemon, magnemite floated around the area as if to guard something. "Let me handle this," Flareon stepped forward and immediately all the magnemites turned their attention to him and began ready to attack. "W-wait Flareon!" Sylveon pushed him back and at the same time, the magnemite stopped trying to attack.

Flareon was confused at what was happening, Sylveon didn't look back. "I'm sorry, this is where we say goodbye," her voice was filled with sadness, "and here... your coat."

"W-wait hold on, can't we have like a chat or something, at your special person's house?"

"I'm sorry, please... just don't come back ok?" Sylveon tried to hide her tears, as she walked towards the house.

As much as Flareon wanted to walk with her, the magnemites said otherwise. Silently he waited as she knocked on the door, who exactly was it?

"Why does she have to go like...this..." Flareon thought, the door opened and he felt relieved but at the same time jealous. It was a jolteon, he looked incredibly agitated and glared at Flareon. "I'm home brother..." Sylveon said with her head down. "Tch, about time you fool, who is this clown anyway?" Flareon felt as if he was about to burn someone alive, Sylveon looked back and shook her head. "He's no one of importance, only you are, brother"

Flareon felt his soul crushed, how could she say that, after all we've been through and she sticks with her dickhead brother?!

"He better be" Jolteon gave off one last hostile look at him and the two went inside the house.

Flareon was at a loss for words and stared at the house, the magnemite began showing signs of hostility, and he ran off. Sylveon looked through the window, crying as she watched him go away, "Hurry up and clean up the house, you've got work to catch up on!" Jolteon ordered as he sat on the couch, and turned on the television; Sylveon did as he ordered. Now Flareon was currently on a bridge that crossed a polluted lake, he hadn't felt the need to re-enter the desert just yet. The cold wind blew across his orange fur, "maybe he was just in a bad mood, maybe Jolteon is actually a really good guy," Flareon sighed. "Ugh, I can't just let this happen!" he got up, and headed towards the house. He knew he had to avoid all the magnemites somehow, so he approached a bit more stealthy, he crept on the side of the pickett fence that surrounded the house. He unsheathed his nails, "let's hope the smell will wash off," and he began digging into the muddy dirt.

"Brother, I'm going to throw out the trash..." Jolteon had fallen asleep, as Sylveon cautiously held the green bag of trash. She approached the alleyway on the side of the house and placed the bag on the others, that piled there. The smell was awful and she felt weak just staying in this horrid city, let alone this wretched alley. Right as she turned around, she heard a scratching sound from beneath the ground, and nearly shrieked when she saw a paw come out of the ground, along with the rest of its body. However, Sylveon immediately recognized the orange fur, and Flareon came out of the ground smelling worse than the garbage.

"I'm gonna take a shower in bleach after this" Flareon said brushing off any clumps of mud.

"Flareon what are you doing? I told you to not come back" trying to keep her voice down.

"I know, I know but... I have some questions before I go" a saddened look crossed Flareon's face. Sylveon was hesitant to answer, but she nodded slowly, "well, why do you have to stay here?"

"Because of my brother"

"But he's treating you like trash!" Flareon pointed out.

"You will not speak badly of my brother!" Sylveon raised her voice, but then quickly retracted as she rubbed her legs. Flareon was at a loss for words but she was right, he shouldn't have just insulted her brother like that.

"I-I'm sorry Flareon, but the reason my brother is the way he is, is because..." Sylveon trailed off, she was unearthing some horrid memories, but spoke again, breathing in deeply. "Our parents used to live here, in this small house. We lived just normally, enjoying our every day routine. But one day, my father just got angry at our mother and left, spitting curses at us. Me and my brother were just small eevees back then, so we didn't understand the majority of it, but we knew it was bad."

"After a few months, my brother sought nothing but vengeance, our mother still had a heart, and kept saying that our father would return. My brother, Jolteon, told me his plan about finding our father and killing him. He told me that we would slaughter him, so our mother can be proud of us, and I followed blindly." Sylveon leaned her head down, Flareon would have comforted her, had he not been covered in tainted mud.

"Of course it was a mistake, we found him and he... killed him, my eyes were filled with horror as my brother mutilated him, his paws were soaked in blood as we came home. Our mother screamed at the sight, calling us murderers. My brother felt unjust, shouting at her that we did the right thing, and he killed our mother as well. After seeing her go, I couldn't take it anymore and that's where I ran." Sylveon's eyes were filled with tears and began wiping them.

"Why, why did you choose to return? you're brother is insane!"

"B-because he's my only family left" she sobbed.

"Who cares! if anything, you're putting your life at risk just staying with him!" Flareon tried reasoning with her, trying to convince her to leave her last sibling.

"I-I..."

"Sylveon! what are you doing back there!" A sharp growl was heard from Jolteon, Flareon had to escape but at the same time he couldn't leave her here.

"Flareon please, please run! I don't want you to die as well!" Sylveon pleaded, as Flareon gave her one last concerned look before going back down the hole he had come from. He ran tears filling his eyes, he was ashamed at how he could do nothing to help Sylveon. Everything he had done, made things worse for her. "Surely, there's something I can do!" Flareon thought for an answer as he continued running.

Returning to the same bridge, he dealt with his dilemma. Flareon had the urge to save sylveon from her brother, but at the same time she had no desire to be saved. He had developed feelings for her, but he held it in, turning around and leaving for the desert. This was her choice and may it not be the best, he had no right to change it. Drawing a sharp breath, he looked at the putrid city one last time before walking off into the desert.

"Flareon...?" A feminine voice sounded behind him.

He looked back to see a young girl, with long red flowing hair finished with a red ribbon, she wore her school uniform. Flareon's eyes widened and immediately rushed in her arms, recognizing her as his owner. He thought she had died a long time ago, but here she was. She giggled as she happily hugged the fire type in a warm embrace

"Flareon..." She said, her voice began fading.

Flareon listened closely his ears perked as her voice became static for split seconds.

"Li...ve ...wit...out" Her voice became overrun by other voices along with the static.

"Regr...." Everything blacked out and flareon woke up on the very same bridge. His owner was dead, and he was pained to be reminded of her death. He clenched his coat, trying to hold back a stream of tears, he remembered her last words in his short dream. "Live without regrets," flareon remembered, those were his owners last words. "I will regret nothing..." he steeled his nerves and headed straight towards the home where Sylveon and Jolteon.

"Tch, Sylveon hurry up and do your damn chores already!" Jolteon barked orders at the fairy type, who followed his orders. "Y-yes brother..." Sylveon sighed deeply as she cleaned the house. "I.. hate-NO!" Sylveon shook her head as a thought of hate entered her mind, she continued her duties very slowly due to fatigue. "HEY! stop working so damn slow!" Jolteon shouted, as he sent a painful thunderbolt at her, she screamed as the electrocuted her already tired body. Jolteon walked up to Sylveon, who laid on the floor. Placing his front paw on her head, "you're really pathetic, I think I'll kill you so I don't have look at your weak self," Jolteon smiled menacingly as he began grinding his paw on her head. Sylveon grit her teeth, in both anger and regret, everything she had done for her brother, and he rewarded her with agony. Right as she gave up hope, a loud shout was heard from outside the house.

"SYLVEON!!" a familiar voice shouted, along with the sound of fire being spread.

"Tch, who on earth would that be..." Jolteon eyes twitched in annoyance as he blasted the door open. There in the midst of countless burning magnemites, was a lone Flareon, surrounded by flames.

"You... you're that Flareon that came with my poor sister," Jolteon smiled maliciously.

Flareon said nothing, he puffed out his chest showing both dominance and strength. "Where is Sylveon..."

"Ah you're looking for this disgusting garbage," Jolteon said as he kicked his sister through the door. Flareon's eyes widened, and then flared up in anger. "She did so much for you! She loved you! She CARED FOR YOU!!!", "I don't care if your her brother, how dare you treat her like that!" Flareon quickly dashed towards Jolteon, jaw wide open as he bit his back, sending a burning singe through his skin. "Heh, you'll have to do better than that," Jolteon smiled with insanity, not even flinching from the pain, he hardened his spiky fur and send jolts of electricity around him.

Sylveon slowly opened her eyes, to see a blinding flurry of light with the center being her brother and Flareon. The two fought ferociously, wishing nothing but the death of the other. The battle was short and both sustained heavy wounds, Jolteon took the lead with his claws stabbing in Flareon's skin. He gasped in pain as he fell on his back, Jolteon jumping on top of him, as he readied his claws. Sylveon's eyes widened as Flareon was about to die, her body mustered up any remaining strength as her ribbons brought together a sphere of white light.

"You thought you could defeat me, too bad you lost and I get to kill all of you," Jolteon said, blood dripping from his face, and smiling the same wicked smile. As he was about to strike Flareon's neck, a powerful moonblast sent him crashing into the wall and exploded with light. Flareon looked to his right to see Sylveon panting heavily, her eyes soon filling with tears as she slowly walked up where her brother had crashed. Sitting down in front of her brother, she nearly vomited at what she had done to Jolteon. Flareon quickly sat up and hugged her in an embrace, bringing her brother out of her sight as she sobbed heavily.

"Guh, Flareon what have I-I done?!" she cried out.

"I killed m-my only family member that I had!"

Flareon said nothing and listened intently, trying his best to comfort her. He couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt, her brother's death was his fault and he knew it. Sylveon gripped on his fur tightly and buried her head in his chest.

"N-now I'm all alone, Flareon..."

"You're not alone..." Flareon said along with another voice that resonated ahead of them. Sylveon and Flareon looked to see a large espeon. Sylveon was awestruck when she realized it was her mother. "M-mother?" Sylveon questioned as she slowly walked towards her. "Yes my daughter, it is I,"

"Oh mother! where have you been all this time! and why did you-" Sylveon barrage of questions was silenced with Espeon's tail touching her lips. "Now is not the time, you, Flareon."

"Yes Ma'am?" Flareon's response was a bit unsure and immediate.

"No need to be formal, I must thank you for all that you have done, but first we must bury the deceased," she said as she looked at the Jolteon's corpse, she sighed deeply as Sylveon helped with the burial. Flareon felt even more guilty when Espeon said he wasn't allowed to help, not out of rudeness but out of respect. Flareon stood there as he watched the whole thing, he squinted in pain as he held the wound on his chest where Jolteon had stabbed him. "Sylveon please help Flareon on to the couch, I will tend his wounds there," she looked at the grave before going into they entered the house.

The house was as small as the outside was, and WAS built for just evees. the walls were painted pink on all sides, along with paw imprints of purple and other eveelutions were drawn on the walls. The floor was a checkered black and white tiling, the kitchen had teal painted drawers and included a very small living room with a miniature couch, that almost seemed like a recliner. There was a staircase added in the small space, that led to a tiny pocket with three doors. The middle door was painted like the night sky, finished with a crescent moon at the left corner of the door; it led to the master bedroom. The door to the right seemed more like a closet, with a miniature bed and table with a lamp on top. The door on the left was the bathroom, which was nothing more than a large faucet.

Several hours past, the moon high in the starry sky. Flareon was bandaged on his chest along with one of his legs. Sylveon and Espeon talked for a long time, catching up on family talk. Flareon had left the room, taking a shower to wash off the smell of blood and filth. Flareon sighed deeply, he was contemplating with another dilemma. He was guilty for the death of Sylveon's brother, but at the same time he didn't want to bring up the topic. Flareon sighed as the warm water soaked in his fur, as it ran down his body.

Moments later Flareon came back downstairs to see that dinner was made. It was soup, and although it looked plain, it smelled divine, or maybe it was just Flareon's stomach. Either way to three chowed down, Flareon tried his hardest to lap up the soup, without making a mess. Espeon laughed softly as she used her psychic powers to hold up a spoon and scoop up the contents neatly; and Sylveon had her ribbons. However Sylveon let go of her spoon and began lapping up the soup, just like Flareon. She smiled lightly which cheered Flareon up, the three ate in silence.

After a filling meal, Sylveon went upstairs for a shower and Espeon had asked Flareon to stay for a few questions. "Is there something you wanted to ask me?" he asked as Espeon washed the dishes with her telekinetic powers. "Someting is troubling you, is it perhaps my son's death?" Espeon stopped with her dishes and came face to face with Flareon.

"Yes, ever since I... killed sylveon's brother, I can't help but feel guilty. I don't know if what I did was really a good thing or not, not to mention I don't want to bring it up," Flareon rubbed his paw trying to avoid eye contact.

"You may have slain one of our family members, but he was.. an evil pokemon and you did what was right. I thank you for doing what you have done, had you not taken care of my daughter I'd have no family to return to. Live without regrets, Flareon." Flareon looked at the Espeon who smiled and went back to washing the dishes. "Uhm I guess this is where I say goodbye?" Flareon said awkwardly, Sylveon was back with her family and he had done his job of escorting her. Espeon looked back, with a sign of disapproval, "It's midnight, you're welcome to stay here for the night, besides I think my daughter has taken a liking to you," she smiled warmly. "But there are only two beds, surely you don't mean..." espeon shook her head, "you can sleep with her in the master bedroom, the bed is big enough for you two to sleep in,"

"without doing anything naughty of course," she finished with a playful wink.

Flareon hadn't felt this awkward since, the back-scrubbing at the oasis. Although he couldn't deny her hospitality and accepted her offer of staying at their home for the night. Right as he walked to the staircase, Syleon walked down. "Uh Flareon, can we talk upstairs?" Sylveon fidgeted nervously and Flareon nodded, looking back at Espeon who paid them no mind. The two entered the master bedroom, and like Espeon had stated, the bed was incredibly large compared to them. The room was organized very neatly, and had a carpeted floor, the bed had a large circular window above the headboard, allowing the pale blue moonlight to illuminate the room.

"So what is it, that you wanted to talk about Sylveon?"

"Well, since you're leaving right now, I just wanted to say some last words,"

"Actually," Flareon moved his paw to her cheek, "I'm staying here for the night."

Sylveon's cheeks blushed as she turned around, "B-but you're still leaving..." her words filled with sadness.

"Yes I have no more purpose for staying here, and it's not like I don't want to," he quickly added, "You're with your family now, I'm sure you don't need me now." he looked at the ground, and then at Sylveon who turned around; her eyes brimming with tears. "Flareon... I don't want you to leave, I want to be with you," she sobbed as she wiped her tears away, "before I met you, I believed that keeping my family happy was the only thing that was important, but when you found me in the desert, you gave me a new purpose," she smiled warmly, "and that purpose was to live my own life."

Sylveon continued wiping her tears as Flareon nudged up to her, embracing her in his warm aura. They looked up at each other, Sylveon's blue eyes shined in the moonlight, "Sylveon..." he whispered, "I love you..." tears began to form in her eyes again "I love you too Flareon," she sobbed as Flareon brought her close for a kiss. The two kissed passionately, Flareon held her close as Sylveon's ribbons hugged him. They pulled apart with a string of saliva connecting their mouths. "ahh Flareon, I'm glad you're staying her for the night." she moved away from him and jumped on the bed, signaling him to come over.

Flareon smiled timidly, as he joined her on the bed. "Uhm can you take the lead, I'm new at this.." her cheeks flushed red. Flareon put a paw on her shoulder and eased her to lay on her back with her legs spread. "Ahh this is embarrassing, Flareon," he lowered his head on her beautiful pussy, and gently began licking her clit. Sylveon moaned in pleasure as he continued his tongue work, trying his best to penetrate the deeper parts with just his tongue. Lewd juices began leaking out, as he happily lapped them up. They tasted sweet like candy, Sylveon legs twitched but Flareon gently held her thighs still; gripping on the soft fur. "F-Flareon stop..." she said in heavy gasps, Flareon then noticed that she had climaxed a while ago and never noticed. "Oh... I'm sorry Sylveon," he said, a little disappointed that she came so fast. "now I'll pleasure you Flareon!" she jumped on Flareon and immediately engulfed his dick in her maw.

Flareon gasped at the sudden feeling of her warm maw surrounding his member. "was this really her first time doing this?" he thought as she bobbed her head up and down, using her ribbons effectively to stroke the base while she worked the tip. Occasionally she pulled off and licked the head before continuing her blowjob, covering his dick in a thin film of saliva. "Sylveon, you're... really good at this," he said, to which Sylveon continued to pump faster rushing him to his climax. Shooting out spurts of white in her mouth, she pulled away and letting the majority of cum land on her face. Flareon gasped, as Sylveon examined the sticky substance with her ribbons but quickly desired more pleasure.

She put up her rump, inviting him to start fucking her. Flareon obliged as he positioned himself, hovering over her back as he took her doggy-style. He slowly slid in her tender vagina, panting as his dick was covered in a soft and ecstatic sensation. Sylveon felt his large member fill her sopping wet insides, along with breaking her hymen. She yelped in pain as she clenched the bed sheets, Flareon stopped but soon continued as she adjusted to his size. Sylveon pushed back, signaling him to start pleasing her. Flareon felt the soft sensation of her tight walls clenching on his dick, and began his thrusts. The two tried to keep their voices down, but the first-time pleasure was unbearable on both of them.

Sylveon held her tongue out as she laid on the bed, Flareon pounded her pussy, their love juices seeping into the bedsheets. "F-Flareon I'm cumming!" Sylveon moaned along with Flareon, who panted down her neck. They came in unison as she was pumped full of Flareon's sperm, causing the majority of it the overflow and pool up with the rest of the liquids. The two laid on the bed, basking in the afterglow. "Sylveon..." he was exhausted, and so was Sylveon as she put a ribbon to his mouth. "Let's keep this a secret, okay?" she said playfully as they fell asleep. "Hmhmhm, that won't be necessary," Espeon giggled as she snuggled in her bedroom; the orb on her forehead not glowing anymore.

Flareon woke up earlier as always, watching over Sylveon's sleeping form. Light came shining down on the bed, enveloping them in the warm sunlight. Smiling, he nudged himself closer to Sylveon, pressing his snout on her neck, gently trying to wake her up. She moaned, rubbing her eyes as she yawned. "Ah Flareon... good morning," she said sleepily. "good morning." he responded with a warm smile. Sylveon began blushing as she remembered last night, and quickly sat up embarassed.

"Ahem, what do you plan on doing now" Flareon asked.

"Isn't obvious? I plan on going with you, to be your traveling companion,"

"of course I won't, if you don't want me to." she finished, flareon chuckled as he placed his paw to her cheek and kissed her.

"I'd love to have you as my companion." Sylveon giggled, as Flareon jumped down the bed

After breakfast, Sylveon spoke up, "Mother, I have decided to join Flareon on his travels."

"Oh my, that's no surprise however, after all you two are quite close," Espeon giggled and then exhaled deeply.

"Sylveon, my daughter you have grown so much since I last saw you, I am both glad and proud to see what a fine eveelution you have become," Sylveon hugged her mother tightly, "thank you mother,"

"and Flareon, I have you to thank for both guiding and taking care of her, I trust you will take good care of my daughter?" Flareon bowed in respect, "I will ma'am, I promise."

"Good, you may go with him Sylveon, make sure to visit every so often," Espeon smiled warmly.

"I will mother, goodbye!" Sylveon waved, as the two made off to the desert.

After seveveral minutes they had finally re-entered the desert, Sylveon breathed in deeply, taking in the scent of the dry air. "It feels, like I'm entering a whole new world," she laughed as she gazed into the blue sky. "We're about to see that new world together," he said as he approached Sylveon. "I'm glad we're doing it together.." Sylveon moved closer to his side as the two began their journey around the world
