Some Things Just Can't Be Understood

Adrianne sleepily opened one red eye to study Pheobie, apparently annoyed at all the noise.

"You're silly Skye" She mumbled, tilting her head to kiss his chin.

"That's a nice way to put it," Maple teased back.

Adrainne jumped down from Maple's head and to Pheobie's lap. "Ummmmb."

Pheobie blinked in surprise. "Hi Adrianne"

"Ummmb," the Umbreon replied, one ear twitching and giving Maple a cross look.

"Yes, yes, we love you too," sadi Maple, rubbing the discontent creature behind her ear. She gave off a purr at the attention.

Pheobie smiled and reached up to pet her too.

Adrianne continued to purr, soaking up all the attention.

Pheobie smiled. "Does this mean you're okay with me?" She asked

"Ummm," Adrianne replied as if thinking, before flopping on herside and twitching her ear. "Bre."

"Okay, but not great," Maple translated. Pokemon were easy to read once you got used to their body language and varying tones of their voice.

"So long as I don't hog Skye right?" Pheobie asked

"Umb," Adrianne replied.

"Pretty much," Maple replied with a chuckle. "Jelous little thing."

"Breeee."

Pheobie smiled. "I don't try to hog him. He hogs me. Just ask Goldie"

"Bre Bre Eoooon," answered Adrianne, fully stretching out.

"She says she was here first," explained Maple. "Only that not true. Groovy was before you, girl."

"Ummmmb."

Maple rubbed her exposed belly, and she started to purr again.

Pheobie giggled. "I'm sorry."

"Eooon," replied Adrianne sleepily.

"She says she's not," Maple replied. "Of course she's never sorry about anything, so don't take it personally."

"Umbre."

"Maybe we should find you a handsome Jolteon, how about that?"

"What's a jolteon?" Pheobie asked

"An electric-type Pokemon that has a fox-like face and spiky hairs all over its body. A very effective and popular Pokemon," Maple explained. "Both Umbreon and Jolteon evolve from a little fox Pokemon called Eevee. In fact Eevee can evolve into seven different Pokemon last time I checked. Seems they are always discovering new evolutions for it."

"Oh." Pheobie chirped. "Okay"

"Anyway, should we get you a Jolteon lover sometime?" Maple asked his Umbreon teasingly.

Adrianne gave a bored huff.

"Oh, what about Wyat?" Pheobie asked, referring to her male umbreon. "Do you like to play with him?"

Adrianne's ear flicked at little at Wyat's name. "Bre."

"Some, hmm?" Maple replied with a smirk. "So we already have someone for you then?"

"Umbre ummmmmb," Adrianne replied with a slight growl.

"It's not like that? Are you suuuure?"

"Ummmb."

Just then, Spunky (Pheobie's pichu), Wyat and Amber (Pheobie's charmander) came dashing through the room, playing tag.

Adrianne tail twitched warily as she watched the youngsters scurry around the room. Maple just laughed at them.

Amber spooked at Maple's laugh and ran back out. Spunky chased her but Wyat just sat at his feet and tilted his head.

Groovy got run into by Amber and they both fell over. The Grovyle soon yelped and jumped back up as the tip of Amber's tail singed his leg.

Adrianne just shook her head.
