The Spark in the Snow

The Lost Eevee

Crystal's POV

When I felt that something had hit my side I immediately turned my head to see what it was. The only thing I saw was mud, but it was a lot of mud almost as if someone had.... thrown it. I immediately looked at the direction where I thought that the mud came from and you wouldn't guess who was there. It was Spark. He was acting as if he was totally not guilty but he was also purposely doing a really bad job at it which of course meant that he was guilty. I giggled a bit and he himself chuckled a bit as well. Even though it was funny I wouldn't let him go unpunished. I grabbed a bit of mud and threw it at him but then the biggest smirk I have ever seen formed on his face and he took 1 step to the right and the mud... the mud hit Dolly. Spark walked away from the scene and he was acting as if he did nothing wrong again. Dolly looked at me and she giggled and a smile formed on her face. I tried to signal that I was trying to hit Spark but she didn't get it or she didn't believe me so she picked up some mud, threw it in the air and she slammed the mud with her tail and the mud was coming towards me with a high speed but I managed to step aside but this time the mud hit Sylvia. Spark started laughing because I think that he thought that his plan had worked, but Sylvia took his laughing as a sign that he threw the mud and she used all 4 of her feelers and she picked mud up with all 4 of them and all 4 of the mud shots hit Spark because he wasn't paying attention and we all laughed, including Spark. But of course it didn't end there. Spark picked up some mud and threw it at me. I got hit by the mud and I threw some mud at Sylvia and Sylvia shot some mud towards Dolly and so on and so on. A huge mud fight had started between the 4 of us and the whole Spa was looking at us but all of them were smiling and some even laughing at us. Even the lopunny and the other workers in this place were watching us with smiles on their faces. At some point we were all completely brown because of the mud and we decided to stop. We all laughed, but then the lopunny came. "I'm glad to see that you are all having a good time. I've never seen a group such as yours and that's a compliment. Anyway, I'm afraid that the next group is ready so I'm going to have to ask if you could follow me to the showers." We all nodded in agreement and we followed her to the showers but when we were there the lopunny announced something that we all didn't really like. "Unfortunately I'm going to have to ask if the jolteon would like to follow my coworker. Other Pokémon are also showering and the genders aren't mixed so I'm afraid that you'll have to separate." Spark looked sad and so did the rest of us but we did understand and Spark answered. "Well I guess that I'll see you all later at the pool... bye." "Bye Spark." I said and then he left. "The showers are right here." The lopunny said and she showed us the showers and she wasn't lying. There were indeed a lot of other Pokémon under the showers. Dolly, Sylvia and I grabbed a shower and we washed the mud off and when I touched my own fur, it felt almost twice as soft. "Sylvia you have to check how soft your fur is! And sorry Dolly but I don't know if it works for you since you don't have fur and all..." Sylvia checked her fur and her eyes widened. "Oh crap you're right! It's so soft!" Dolly checked herself as well. "Hey! My skin feels softer as well!" I giggled at their reactions but I stopped when Sylvia smirked and she spoke up. "Hey Crystal~ how soft do you think that Spark's fur will be~?" My face started to heat up again. "I-I don't know!... B-But it's probably really soft and fluffy..." Sylvia started laughing and so did Dolly and I then just realised what I had just said. "S-Stop laughing!... L-Let's just hurry up with this shower okay?" They were still laughing. "Sure~ We don't want to keep Spark waiting~" Dolly said. "S-Stop teasing me!"

Spark's POV

I just got separated from my group and I wasn't completely happy about it... But I guess I should've seen that coming. It's only logical that I can't follow them to certain places in a spa... oh well. I'll meet up with them in like 20 minutes anyways so it's not that a big of a deal. Anyway, I started following the coworker who was a diggersby. Eventually we arrived. "Here it is sir, enjoy." "Thank you, I will." I walked in and my fur was still completely brown. I walked towards a random shower and I started showering. Eventually I noticed the Pokémon next to me. It was a little eevee and he looked scared, I didn't see his mom or dad anywhere either so I started talking to him. "Hey little guy. Where is your mom or dad?" He looked at me and I saw that he was a bit scared of me. "I got seperated from m-my mommy and my brother just l-left me h-here and... I don't have a dad..." I felt for him and I put up the nicest voice that I possibly could and I started talking to him again.  "I'm sorry to hear that. Do you want me to help you search for your mommy and brother?" "I...I don't know... my mommy always told me not to trust strangers." Oh bother... I must be coming over as some kind of pervert... "I'm only going to help you with searching for your mommy and brother okay? You can sit on my back if you want to and you can go anywhere you want and I won't stop you, is that okay?" "D-Do you promise to do that?" "I promise." "Well... I guess that it's fine then..." I quickly finished showering and so did he. I laid down and spoke up. "Hop on!" He chuckled and he jumped on my back. He immediately looked at ease and he got comfortable. "Comfortable?" "Yes sir.... you are very soft you know that?" I chuckled "Yeah I get that a lot. Now, did you see where your brother went?" "Yes, he was heading for the pool but he can't swim." I looked over the pool and that's when I saw someone splashing a lot and I managed to see a brown tail and I immediately took action. I dropped the little guy on my back and took some steps back. "Ummm, sir? What are you doing?" I didn't react. I started sprinting and I jumped in the pool. I landed in front of the struggling eevee and I ducked underwater. I came back up and I managed to pick the eevee up on my back. He was shaking and he was in shock. "It's okay, it's okay. I got you. You are safe. Try to take some deep breaths." He listened and he took some deep breaths. I swam back to the other eevee and he seemed worried. "B-Brother!? Are you okay." "I-I'm f-f-fine little b-bro... thanks to this jolteon that is.." I was now at the side of the pool and I let the little eevee jump on shore first before I got on shore. "Are you sure you're okay little guy?" "Y-Yes sir... I'm just a bit shocked." "That's okay, don't worry. Do you want to rest on my back while I search for your mother?" "T-That would be nice s-sir... thank you." "No problem little guy. Give me one second." I got the water out of my fur by electrocuting the water on high voltage. Then I laid down again. "Well, hop on. Both of you." They both jumped on my back and the shocked eevee seemed a lot calmer then a second ago. "Are you 2 comfortable?" "Yes sir... thank you for all of this." "It's okay. Try to get some rest while I search for your mom okay?" "Okay..." I think that they both went to sleep on my back and I started searching for their mom. It took me some time but I eventually managed to see a leafeon a bit further up and she looked worried and she seemed to be searching for something. I walked up to her and I spoke up once I got close. "Excuse me ma'am. But is there a chance that you are looking for these 2?" I showed her my back and her eyes widened and she seemed relieved. "Yes, thank you so much!" "It's okay ma'am. There does seem to be a little problem though. They kind of fell asleep on my back." She giggled. "I can see that." "Here, let me take care of that." I said and I laid down. "Time to wake up. I found your mommy." I gave them little shocks but only so much that they tickled. They both woke up. "But sir we don't want to... your fur is just too soft..." I chuckled. "Come on, your mother is waiting. You don't want to keep her waiting do you?" "...Okay then..." They both got off of my back and they hugged their mom. "Did this kind sir take good care of you two?" "Yes mommy, he found me in the shower and he helped me search for you and for big bro. He saved big bro in the pool when he was struggling in the water. Then he let us sleep on his back and then he found you." The leafeon's eyes widened. "I can't thank you enough. Is there anything I could do for you?" "No thank you ma'am. Just take good care of these little guys." "I will. I have to go now but I would like to know your name first." "My name is Spark ma'am." "Spark, what a nice name. You would make a good father Spark. I hope we cross paths again, but for now farewell." She walked away with one of the eevees on her back and the other was sitting in front of me. It was the one that I found in the shower. And he told me the sweetest thing that a child could possibly say to you. "I don't know what it is like to have a daddy but... but I think if I had one I would want him to be like you." He quickly hugged me but he couldn't reach any higher then my paws which I found cute. "That... that's really nice to hear little guy. I'm sure I'll see you again some day." I stroked him on the head a little and then I spoke up again. "Now we don't want you to lose your mommy again so you should go now. Bye little guy." "Bye dad- I mean sir." He then ran off. When I turned around I saw Dolly, Crystal and Sylvia and they all seemed like they were about to cry because of what just happened. "Ummm, how much of that did you guys hear?" "W-We've been standing here since you w-woke them up... you truly have a heart of gold Spark." Dolly said. "Well... thanks..."
