Welcome to Gaia! ::

There was a lot of tee hee heeing going on behind the cake, though they were still the sounds of a Pokemon. Opal could play hide and seek the bestest! Even though she could sense that Yuri-friend was humoring her, it was still all fun and games. He was willing to play, so she played. It was as simple as that!

When she figured that all the anticipation was going to get poor Yuri-friend, she then sprang up from her hiding spot, gleefully calling out "DITTO DIT!" It roughly translated to FOUND YOU which made no sense since she was the one hiding in the first place. Returning to the piece of cake she had started to eat, she took another big bite, then squirmed to the edge of the table before hopping as best as a blob of jelly could until she had somehow managed to land in Yuri's lap. She munched on her cake, but seemed to give him the look. The one that demanded to get pet (as best as a Ditto could pull off).

"P-p-princess?!" Her face turned red quite quickly at the very last word Yuri said. And the fact was she knew her face had changed colors, since it started to feel very warm along her cheeks. In vain, she attempted to hide her rosy cheeks with her knees. "...why in the world would you call me something like that?"

Opal was a happy ditto. Well, sort of. She kinda wished she could be in her normal form, since getting pets behind the ears were the best. However, she was going to be good. She was going to be SUPER GOOD!

"What in the world is that even supposed to mean?!!" It wasn't the sort of answer the wanted, since it still was rather embarrassing. She was quite certain that she wasn't going to be getting any answer that wasn't embarrassing at this point, so rather than peer out, she seemed to try to curl up even more into hiding, mildly putting her arms over her head so she'd be even harder to see.

Opal could sense Ivory-friend's embarrassment. It was touched with a bit of anger, a sort of anger which the blob couldn't allow. Despite enjoying Yuri-friend's petting, the Pokemon squished out from his hold and easily splatted to the ground. Like a good Opal, she made her way to Ivory and squished between the cracks of her arms and legs, eventually finding a place in the girl's arms.

"Ditto dit dit ditto dit diiiitto!" It was like the Pokemon was gently scolding her dearest friend, patting the human arms with her stubby jelly arms.

It was silly, but she still was a bit upset. Even if Yuri meant it as a compliment, it didn't feel like a compliment to her. Her Pokemon was obviously calling her out on childish behavior. "...I know..."

Eventually she peered out from her hiding spot, Ditto in her arms. It was a bit awkward for her, but she eventually spoke up after her little issue. "...soo... I think we are done with the measurements now... so I guess if you have other things to do... I won't keep you. Or if you want, you can stay until the cake is all gone."

Opal joined Repede-friend in the groan. Not the best thing to say by any means.

She looked ahead of her instead of at Yuri, as if avoiding direct eye contact for the moment. "...well... I am sure there is fault on both sides..." She wasn't quite ready for smiling yet, but at least she didn't seem angry anymore (though Yuri might not have noticed such earlier since she hid her head).

She still didn't look to him, but she rather honestly admitted "I don't mind nicknames... I just don't like that one... that's all..." Her mom had a special pet name for her that she loved, even if it was longer than her birth name.

Opal flailed as Repede-friend gave Ivory-friend a kissy. Where was her kissy?! "Ditto! Dit ditto dit dit?"

Eventually the girl turned to acknowledge the puppy Pokemon, hand running across the blue tuft of hair on the top of Repede's head.

The girl stood up when Yuri mentioned that he was going to be leaving. "Um... I'll walk you to the door... but... um..." Her lips pursed for a moment as if she was trying to figure out a way to say what she was wanting to say.

Opal giggled, then squished over to give Repede-friend's paw a hug. She seemed absolutely oblivious about the fact she tasted weird. It was okay! She loved Repede-friend and Yuri-friend, no matter what!

Ivory somewhat shuffled her foot from side to side. "Um... my neighbor is probably going to bother you the moment you step out there... I just... would appreciate it if you didn't tell her... about what I look like..."

It was an odd request, but considering what she wore when she was outside usually, it made a bit more sense. "I just... know she's going to ask... and bother you..." She put both her arms behind her back before starting to walk towards the door.

Taking up her spot behind the door, the girl uttered out a quiet "Thanks... and we will..." With that, she opened the door, once more hiding herself behind it. The Ditto squished behind the door as well. While the pair were hidden, the ditto glowed slightly. If any were paying attention to the crack between the door and the hinges, one would have seen something a little less ditto-like hiding with the white haired girl.

Ivory waited until the pair had made their way outside, then gently shut the door behind them. It was then that she saw what Opal had done, seeing as the Pokemon was now floating up about face level with her.

"...Oh... you naughty girl, Opal..." she giggled within a whisper.

The Mew seemed to mimic the sound with her own light laughter, doing a small floating back flip in the air. In an eager manner, she tapped at Ivory-friend's nose with her forepaws.

"...okay... silly girl... I guess I should go get you your treat now... yes?"

The Pokemon nodded her head, and then proceeded to zip towards the kitchen. It was treat time, treat time, treat time!

With a sigh, the white haired girl followed.
