The More Things Change...

[rivalthunderbolts]

 [It was an ordinary day for Jolt. Just an ordinary day, as far as he was concerned. Thank goodness he hadn't been affected by the craziness going around. But just to be sure, he'd better go check on his family and friends.]

Hey, everyone. Is anything weird going on for anyone? I'm fine, but I'll be there to help if anyone's having any problems themselves. We've gotta stick together, right?

[Only instead of the usual perky spiky dog on the webcam, it was a more calm looking guy with pale green hair and a shock of dark green cowlick. And his ears kinda looked like leaves. 

Uh oh.

Also Riwane might have noticed a small bouquet outside her door. Where did that come from? It's a mystery to everyone.]

Comments

[rivalthunderbolts]

Yeah... I think I'd like that. To hang out for a while. Just so things feel normal for a bit, y'know?

[blazebottom]

Good! [Riwane smiled brightly.] Still up fur sum vid games? Or maybe pop sum music an' jus' goof 'round fur a while? Ah'll order us sum food too! Hopefully tha city still delivers, even in all tha crazyness.

[rivalthunderbolts]

All of that sounds just perfect.

[He sat back on Riwane's bed, finally smiling again. It felt good to be doing things that were familiar to him, especially now.]

What kind of food? Maybe some leafy greens...

[blazebottom]

Uh whut?

[Okay that was just weird.... Then again, maybe he couldn't eat other stuff? But wasn't he a grass type? Well guess that would be as weird as carnivores eating meat too... Predatorial plants!]

Ah can see if they got any salads or stuff. Ah'm gettin' mahself either pizza or wings, or both!

[She tossed a few menus his way.]

Jus' lemme know whut you want hon!

[rivalthunderbolts]

Y'know, a veggie pizza would be nice too.

[He started to flip through the menus. Then he realized what might have sounded off about all this.]

Oh. Uh... I guess my Jolteon self is more of a meat eater, huh?

[blazebottom]

Yeah, kind of big time haha. No big! Ah'm all fur trying new stuff.

[Though she'd still be getting bundles of meat!]

Ah'll git on that order, you pick a flick fur us ta watch.

[rivalthunderbolts]

Thanks for understanding.

[He got up to go rifle through Riwane's movies.]

What genre are you feeling tonight?

[blazebottom]

Dunno, it's a special day. Ah'll leave it up to you hon.

[In the meantime, Riwane spun once on her desk chair and got to browsing the menus and such. Every now and then you could hear her singing a song, bobbing her head to an inner beat as her tail swayed in tandem.]

[rivalthunderbolts]

Hmm... Comedy.

[Jolt pulled a movie off the shelf, sticking the DVD into the player and grabbing himself a seat. He bobbed his own head along to the song she sang, a smile on his face.]

[blazebottom]

[After a beat, Riwane grinned, tapped her keys once and spun around on her chair with a bright smile and a thumbs up.]

Food's a cookin'! Should be here in 'bout twenty minutes give or take.

Good choice by the by! A good laugh certainly helps jus' 'bout everything!

[She rolled over, hopping off her desk chair and plopping next to Jolt to watch the flick.]

[rivalthunderbolts]

I could sure use that right about now.

[When she sat next to him, he leaned against her. Perhaps it was being a Leafeon instead of a Jolteon, but he seemed to be a bit more cuddly than usual.]

[blazebottom]

[Cuddling is perfectly okay with her Jolt, you should know this by now! Riwane wraps an arm around him and brings him closer, resting his head on her chest as she plays with his hair.]

No worries, it'll all be alrite hon.

Good ending point?

[rivalthunderbolts]

[Jolt just nuzzled into her shoulder, relaxing against her. The movie didn't matter so much, honestly. He was happier just to have someone close by.]

I know... Thanks.

Sounds good to me!

[blazebottom]

[And so they nuzzled and watched movies and ate a feast when the delivery came! And then probably passed out!]
