Disclaimer: Huh? Oh, yeah, I own Pokemon, didn’t you know that? …if you actually believed that then I have no idea how you could even be smart enough to be able to read this disclaimer in the first place. Characters present or mentioned in the story: Youkai the Absol Kitsune the Ninetales Chinatsu the Butterfree Hippop the Skiploom Kirara2 the Delcatty It was a beautiful morning. Youkai woke up to the sun shining warmly on his face. He grumbled and turned over, wondering if he could get Kitsune to put a curse on the sun, and if it was even possible in the first place. He got out of bed after deciding that it would be impossible to get back to sleep anyway, and went downstairs. “Good morning Youkai, you’re up early,” said Chinatsu, ignoring the growl that she got in response, since she knew that Youkai would be in a better mood after he had breakfast. Today was chocolate chip pancakes. She was just about ready to put the chocolate chips in the batter, when suddenly… “AHHHHH!!!” Chinatsu heard Hippop’s scream. “Hippop, what is it?!” Chinatsu cried. She rushed into the kitchen, fearing the worst. Hippop was on the floor, sobbing. “The chocolate! It’s all gone! Every last bit of it!” she turned her tear-laden eyes upon Chinatsu. “How are we supposed to have chocolate chip pancakes now?” She sobbed. “Oh, Hippop, it’s okay,” said Chinatsu. “We’ll just run down to the store and buy some more chocolate.” This, however, turned out to be the wrong thing to say. “So this is all those chocolates meant to you!? You should be ashamed of yourself! After all that promise of creamy, chocolaty delight, you’re going to buy replacement without even giving these chocolates a proper burial!? How could you!?” Hippop was now on the floor sobbing her heart out. “Oh, my beautiful chocolates, mind not these arrogant lowlifes, for I shall stay with you forevermore.” Chinatsu sighed. Why did stuff like this always happen? What she wouldn’t give for a nice, normal household of Pokemon… By the look on Youkai’s face, he obviously agreed. Kirara2 came into the kitchen. “Do you want me to go out and buy some truffles for Hippop? Knowing her, she’ll probably forget about the other chocolates as soon as she gets them.” “Yes, please! Anything to shut her up…” said Youkai, looking distastefully at Hippop, who was now performing a memorial service to honor the chocolates. “Could you also buy some more chocolate chips, so I can make pancakes like I was originally planning to do?” asked Chinatsu. “Okay,” Kirara2 responded, and with that, she left to get the requested items. About 45 minutes later, the pancakes had been made, and everyone was sitting down to a good breakfast, including Hippop who, thankfully, had forgotten all about the mornings’ “tragic events” after being given the box of truffles.
