After the frightening episode with the Mismagius-girl, I was a bit shaky. I needed to relax a bit and get my bearings.
I scoped about and a small lake caught my attention. Its waters were sparkling from the heat of the long-ago-set sun and the air was warm with the summer air. I came closer to the lake but stopped short. There was someone already at the lake.
It was the purple girl... she's an Espeon, I think.
She looked so peaceful, just relaxing by the lake. Then she surprised me. Some rocks near her got a purple glow about them (she is probably using Psychic, I thought) and then one by one, they skimmed across the surface of the lakewater. The circle ripples they made were relaxing somehow.
Now the girl was murmuring to herself. My overly-sensitive Meowth ears picked up what she was saying.
".....A circle... A cirle of friendship", she said quietly. "Maybe I shouldn't be so isolated from the group. I wouldn't want to feel like a stranger to let. After all, we are going to be living with one another. Like family."
Family. What a lovely word, so reassuring. That you have someone to care about you. I smiled and sighed. Wrong thing to do.
Because suddenly, the girl's purple cat-ears pricked up, too. I was sure she knew I was there.
Oops! I didn't want the girl to know I was watching her! I was too loud! I was about to say 'sorry' but then she spoke first.
"Don't be a stranger," she spoke loudly, and then stood up. She was carrying a book. When she turned around, she halted and her expression seemed to get softer.
"I'm....sorry. Am I intruding on your privacy, miss?" I said quietly. I seem to be in everyone's way today... I thought. Maybe I should just leave.
"No! I was just about to go converse with everyone else. It's okay," She said, smiling. "Wanna help us build a treehouse?"
As I nodded, she took my hand and led me back to the clearing. She seems really nice.
"I'm Estelle, by the way," She said to me. She kept looking at me, so I assumed she wanted my name. How considerate, that she wants to know my name! My tail perked up and curled in a bit more.
"Nyarth," I said quietly. As if I wasn't sure of my name. Then I said it louder, more confident. "I'm Nyarth."

I'm sorta confused. Where is this taking place? In the Pokemon world, or in the Real World? What season is it? What time is it? Please, I kinda need to know these things.
Please Continue!
