Today was a much cooler day, thank goodness as yesterday felt like her only option was to melt into a puddle of eevee goo. Today she could actually look for new ways of having fun! Leaping off the water fall had been fun though her her belly was sore from so many belly flops..so she was looking for a way she could still leap off the water fall without hurting herself.
Dragging over a couple of branches she was arranging them together to try and make a board of some sort. Long grass was what she was using to weave the branches together and it was difficult having..no fingers after all.
Tail lashing she was trying to figure out how this was all going to work.
But the board she was constructing....sagged in places and there were holes. But it would work...right?

Aatami was running through the trees bouncing about has he went, the sun that shone seemed to bring more energy to him lately than it normally had in past times. Truffles his twin sister was not far behind him though he knew from first hand she could easily out run him if she wanted to, he was just to lazy to goad his rather competitive sister into a chase. He would end up lost, she would be sad and that was just to much trouble. Pausing as the twins neared the waterfall the small Eevee fell down to his belly ears pulled back before instantly darting behind his sister.
Truffles on the other hand who had paid less attention to her brother and more attention to the sounds that came from the waterfall up ahead was less caught off-guard by another Eevee not far ahead. Of course the twins had met a couple Eevee in the past, one had even chased her down when she was emerging from her hole after a strange rainstorm. Her eyes narrowed on the water, the rain sure had caused the water to rise lately but she had never seen and Eevee near the edge of the waterfall before. She could hear Aatami in the background silently begging her for the two of them to turn around and go back but that proved fruitless much as it always had and so with a huff he had given up and silently followed her towards the new Eevee.

With a loud sigh Neptune looked over her raft or board annoyed, she took it in her paws and began to gnaw away at one of the reeds she had used to tie it together. This just wouldn't do. After all she wanted to have fun! Not...get herself killed.
Neptune though was so preoccupied with her task she didn't register the scent of the other two eevee until they approached her. Her eyes glanced as they got closer and another snap of vine with her teeth and she spat out the rest of the grass before shaking her head and stretching.
"Hey there!" she greeted looking the two eevee's over, "Wanna help me make a raft? it will be so much fun to play on!"
Yes that was it! If she got them to help her, surely the craft would work this time! More paws and mouths the better!

"A what?" The twins asked in unison but their tones clearly said two separate things. Aatami had a fearful undertone while his sister Truffles seemed to be rather exited about the idea of making something, anything for that matter. Against her brothers protest as he carefully eyed the strange new Eevee, Truffles stepped closer shifting her paws over the logs and sticks bending down to carefully sniff the vines Neptune had holding the strange object together, or once had held it together at any rate. Taking a couple steps backwards still looking over the project a rather large grin grew on Truffles face. Oh yes now she understood why the other Eevee was standing here by the water, she was jumping off the edge to the water below! Oh how exiting she thought to herself, a bushy tail shifting back and forth as she beamed up at the Eevee before her. "Sure!" She cheerfully agreed hopping back a second to turn to her brother.
"Names?" were the only words that seemed to escape him as he glanced back towards Neptune.
Truffles gave him a brush with the side of her face before turning back to Neptune. "Aatami is correct I forgot to introduce us! My name is Truffles" Shifting to the side so her brother was more visible she pointed her left paw in his direction. "This is my brother Aatami" Aatami sent a longing look towards Neptune before turning to scamper off to the side. He didn't like introductions, that was his sisters thing. He just wanted to remind her to be polite she often forgot such things.
Truffles waited for the new Eevee to introduce herself before offering that she and her twin head off to find better, no straighter logs and thicker vines for the boat. Yes they would need a boat if it was going to be three of them! "I can do the vines." Aatami quickly suggested before prancing off back the direction they had first come from.

Doing an excited dance Neptune was so happy to have help in her quest to have fun!
"Its a raft!" Neptune replied to their question, watching and noticing how the boy eevee seemed rather nervous of her though his sister or at least she assumed was his sister was just up her alley and quite helpful.
When the shy Eevee finally got up the courage to inquire about names Neptune stood proudly as she was quite proud of her name.
"My names Neptune!" She declared chest puffed up to show how much she liked her name. "Nice to meet ya both Truffles, Aatami." She continued with a nod of her head to both though..noticed the boy was back behind his sister again. Strange pokemon this one.
She had just been about to ask how they should work together when Aatami offered to get the vines, well okay that was good!
"HEy Truffles help me gather some more..even branches. I think the ones I have here won't line up well..and that was my problem before."

Truffles head turned to watch her brother prance off with a slight giggle to herself, she knew her brother well enough it wouldn't be long before he found a bunch of vines. He was a smart and rather strong pokemon, despite how lazy he could be at times. Maybe this having fun would be a good thing, give him some fun. Pokemon needed fun more often than once a day after all. At least that's what Truffles thought. Quickly turning her head back to look at Neptune when her name was called a smile bright on her face, of course she wanted to help strait branches she had just been thinking that very thing after all, and that was very important. "You bet!" She cheerfully replied flicking one ear back towards her brother's direction. Never could be to careful you know. "I think I saw some strait ones over there. Want to go look?" The offer hung in the air while her other ear pointed towards Neptune. This was going to be fun.
Aatami was currently prancing through the shaded trees in an almost hopping motion, oh why had he chosen to go get the vines? Ears pressed back against his head as his tail drooped the further into the forest he went. It wasn't much longer until he found a few strong vines hanging from one of the tree's. His ears perked up facing the direction his eyes were pointing, before flicking about to check for any trouble. None? Good. Looking about the base of the tree he powerfully kicked off the ground leaping as high into the tree as he could get, however only his two front paws managed to grab hold of the branch he now clung to for dear life. Pinning his ears once again back against his head Aatami kicked and pulled with all his might until he finally managed to climb up into the tree. Now all he had to do was pull on the vines until they came loose... Right?

Neptune had been still analyzing over her current failure of a raft when Aatami went off to gather reeds or was is vine? Grass? Neptune was still trying to figure which of the three she had told him to get, she had to shake her head when Truffles had started talking to her to figure out what she had just said to her. Strait branches...? RIGHT they needed those.
"Right! That's right we need straighter branches..these ones are just too ...lumpy and twisted." Neptune stated as she nudged the mess of branches and vines which collapsed into a heaping pile of mess.
Neptune wasn't really sure where she had gone wrong, but she figured the straighter the branches the better it would work. Right? At the same time...she didn't need a raft the last time she went over the water fall. Why had she come up with this idea again? RIGHT cause a raft would allow more people to join her!
"Okay lets go look this way!" The eevee stated as she bounded past Truffles and into the denser part of the woods.

Tilting her head to the side with a questioning look as she glanced onward towards the Eevee before her, Truffles other ear seemed to flick back towards her brothers direction in the forest. Just in case something was going on she still wanted to be sure she would be able to react in time. Besides this Eevee seemed to be taking her time remembering things, and standing around was more or less quite boring. Shifting from paw to paw Truffles smiled brightly when Neptune finally starting moving but it was in a completely different direction that she had planned for it to be.
Digging his teeth deeply into the soft fleshy parts of the vines Aatami started pulling with all his might in an attempt to loosen the firm hold the vines had on whatever it was. No use, they wouldn't budge. Shifting his grip on the plant like object Aatami struggled again. This was becoming much to bothersome for him, but he had taken the task onto himself and as such would have to complete it or else be burdened with his sister and the other Eevee's disappointment. That was much worse! Pulling harder with more determination Aatami slipped from the branch he was perched and pulling on to find himself dangling above the ground unable to find a foothold. His feet wiggled and stretched and then moved in a more running fashion as if that would bring the ground closer to his feet. No luck there was no ground for who knows how far below him, screaming wouldn`t do any good either as he would end up loosing his grip on the vine.
Truffles followed after Neptune despite her unvoiced disagreement about the direction, figuring the silence from her brother was a signal that things would be ok for a while. He was such a scaredy-meowth, her eyes fell not long upon a couple of rather long thin but strait branches. Bouncing playfully over to them she pointed them out to Neptune "How about these?"

Neptune was a bit strong willed, and pig headed. She just did what she wanted without truely thinking things through, probably why her initial raft had been a failure. She had just gotten the idea and threw some things together. It was probably a good thing the other eevee's had run into her else she may of tried going over the waterfall in that make shift mess of a raft.
Neptune was still thinking of all the fun they would have once the raft was fixed and stable she had to skid to a halt when she noticed that Truffles had stopped and pointing at some branches that would work rather nicely!
"Oh wow you are good at this!" She stated with a nod of her head bounding up to the pile and began routing through them before pulling out one with her mouth. Spitting out she nodded her head. Yes this would do very well!
"Okay lets see how many we can move over back where we were."

It wasn't long before Truffles had pulled out two rather thick logs from the stack and was in the process of trying to tug them back towards the waterfall, though not as gracefully as she had liked. She couldn't help the growing growl that emerged as she struggled to pull them along. Her tail bouncing from side to side in a playful manner. Though she was working hard it wasn't to say she wasn't having fun!
Aatami continued to struggle, kicking his feet had lead to a start in motion causing the furry pokemon to swing back and forth. He had to admit this swing was a pretty fun game. However just as he reached the pinnacle of height the vine had snapped. Aatami was sent tumbling into the nearest berry bush, the long thick vine tumbling ontop of him as he fell. Letting out a rather large queeking cry as he landed on his feet, pausing to reorient himself he soon started digging to find a way out of the vines and start pulling them towards the waterfall. They should be so proud he had brought something so useful!

Estatic Neptune rushed to make sure that Truffle's wasn't left doing all the heavy work alone. She was still working on the process she would have to go through in order to make the raft work. Weaving branches...and vines together would be difficult. After all non of them had hands.
Branch in mouth she carried it to the pile with Truffles until she dropped it suddenly. Ears tweaking she looked startled as if something important had just happened in the area.
"Did you hear that?" Turning her head she asked Truffles, before jumping over the log to join the other eevee her head turning to look around as if an answer would just pop out of no where.
"You think your brother is okay?" Neptune asked wondering if that sound she had heard had been him. It was not a sound she normally would attribute to the forest. Nope...squeaking wasn't one of them.

The branch had dropped suddenly and pulling her ears back in an angry surprise Truffles was preparing to jump on Neptune for being careless. That was, at least until she spoke. Her ears pivoted towards the direction the other Eevee had pointed out twitching and shifting to get a better grasp of the surroundings. Had she somehow picked up on danger? There wasn't any way that a hitmonlee could be in there area could there? Brown eyes scanned the area before them her body poised and ready to defend.
Aatami finally breaking free of the long large vines gathered what he could up, walking in circles to tie the green rope like substance together. At least now it would be easier to carry! Bending forward to actually bite down on the vines and pull them back towards the waterfall his eyes came face to face with a joltick. Clenching his teeth on the vines in fear the small Eevee took off running shaking the vines in order to dislodge the small yellow spider from his hard earned vines. His feet padding along the ground as quickly and silently as he could, save for the odd snapping twig below his feet.
Taking a few steps cautiously forward Truffles cringed inwardly at the sound of snapping twigs. What could possibly be out there? Another step forward one after the other Truffles eyes slithered down into slits as she prepared to pounce on whatever was drawing closer when Aatami burst from the tree line. His eyes full of watery tears shaking the vines from side to side unaware Neptune and Truffles where there.
"Aatami" Truffles shouted releasing her tightened muscles sending her into a springing jump landing fully on her brother.
