Running water gets dull after a bit{Care to join?}

[Shadowsar]

A single vulpix was lying down on her back, sprawled out on the grass near the bank of the pool. The kit rolled over onto her black stomach, yawned, stretched, and got up. She shook the dirt off her sleek black coat, and groomed her violet hair with one of her paws. Her amber eyes scanned the area, but there was still nobody else around.
"Darn...I was hoping to see someone today. This is stupid..."
Takia had never been impatient, but she was beginning to feel so now. She hadn't seen another pokemon in ages (at least to her; her life hadn't been that long to begin with), and wanted at least to see another one around her. She had padded through terrain after terrain, but curiously enough, she had sighted no others to talk to. Takia stalked over to the pool bellow the falls, and splashed the water with her paw in frustration.
"This is stupid!"

[wynnyelle]

Ralla the furret headed forlornly to the water. She didn't understand why she kept on returning to this place. It held nothing but painful memories for her. Memories of her family...before they had all vanished.

She noticed the vulpix staring out at the water, and sat nearby and did the same, trying not to cry.

[Starrunner]

A tiny cleffa tottered into the clear and tripped./ She sobbed like a baby because she was only 1/2 a year old.

[Shadowsar]

Takia's auds pricked, and she scented the arrival of two other pokemon. One was a furret, sitting on the bank some fifteen feet away from her. Takia, as she always studied pokemon before talking to them, observed that the furret's face was pinched up, and her eyes glistened; she was trying very hard to fight sad feelings. The other, a young cleffa, was bawling audibly. Takia stode over to the furret first, and would investigate this cleffa's troubles soon after.
"Might I ask, is something wrong?" The answer was apparent, at least to her, but Takia had to be polite anyway.

[wynnyelle]

"No," said Ralla. "I'm fine...but..er...I dunno about her." Ralla was referring to the Cleffa.

[Starrunner]

Cleffa sat crying, a pool of tear was forming around her. "I want mamma!" she sobbed.

[wynnyelle]

Ralla went over to the cleffa. Normally she'd prey on something like this, but what the little fairy had said had touched her. "I kind of am on the other side of things...I want my babies." They had been stolen from her so long ago, but the pain of losing them had never healed.

[Starrunner]

Cleffa snuggled into the furret.

[wynnyelle]

Ralla snuggled the cleffa against her and let herself sob softly as she stroked the fairy's soft, short pink fur. She felt those old motherly feelings coming to the surface, the ones she'd never known she'd had before she had given birth to her babies.

[Shadowsar]

"That's quite a shame. I'm sorry to hear that."
Takia always tried her best to sound as sincere as possible when she was talking about a loss. If one could get inside her head, they would notice some detachment from the rest of the known world. Takia, for some reason, always found it difficult to sympathize and empathize with other beings. And, though there was no real conviction in her opinion, she meant what she said.
"So, what brought you here? Pokemon don't just walk over by the bank of a pool of water for the sole purpose of staring at it."
If spoken by any other pokemon, there would probably have been sarcasm in the tone. Takia however simply spoke it in her cool, stoic manner, and had posed the question in earnest.

[wynnyelle]

"Well...this is my home, I guess." Ralla didn't know if she considered it a home anymore, but she had found nowhere else to feel like home, so she had returned here, after a fruitless search for her family. "How about you?"

[Starrunner]

Cleffa sunuggled into the furret, seeking love, safty and comfort.

[wynnyelle]

Ralla continued to pet the little cleffa baby. She looked over at Takia, "this's been my home for...I guess almost a year now. I'm not always around though...sometimes I take trips to other places if the hunting's better out there." And to look, against better logic, for her vanished family.

[Starrunner]

Cleffa sighed and hugged the furret, "mama....." she said softly, and her tears stopped flowing.

[wynnyelle]

"Until you find your mama, you can stay here with me," said Ralla. Ralla felt so much better now that she was mothering somebody.

[Starrunner]

She looked up at the furret with big black eyes, "mama gone........up there!" she said pointing to the sky.

[wynnyelle]

Ralla sighed. "Oh...I'm sorry. Um, I'm Ralla, by the way, do you have a name?"

[Starrunner]

"Cleffa." she said, licking her hand and fixing her her tuft and falling over in the proses.

[wynnyelle]

"Cleffa? That's what you are, I mean, your species," said Ralla. "Do you have a name other than that?"

[Starrunner]

She sat out and turned her head sideways, looking confused.

[wynnyelle]

"I mean, a name that's not just the name of what you are. What you are is a cleffa...at least for now. I'm not sure if your kind evolves. But if you want me to call you Cleffa, that's what I'll do." Ralla wanted to make the little pokemon happy.

[Starrunner]

She smiled and clapped her hands togeather and an invisable figer used tickle attack on the furret.

[wynnyelle]

Ralla began to giggle as the cleffa tickled her. "What, is this a tickle war?"

[Starrunner]

Cleffa nodded and rolled around giggling, using tickle on her self.

[wynnyelle]

Ralla reached out with her paw and tickled the Cleffa herself. "Tickle tickle!"

[Starrunner]

She squermed and giggled and tryed to tickle back, but her arms were to short to reach.

Ralla had an unfair advantage, being a furret. She only stopped tickling Cleffa when she began to fear the baby would pee.

[Starrunner]

Cleffa sat up.

[wynnyelle]

"Well," said Ralla after a while, "you hungry Cleffa? What do Cleffas eat, anyway?"

[Starrunner]

"Barrys!" she said hapily, clapping her hands.
