Yvette Namara, a Furret, was lost in the forest, late one night. She had strayed too far from her burrow, and she knew her family would worry. She shivered as rain began to pour down, and she dove into the nearest cover she could find, a dark cave that seemed very frightening.

She shuddered, and made her way just far enough in to get away from the rain, curling up just within the mouth. A chill went down her long spine as a voice sounded from behind her, deeper into the cave.

? - Might want to be a bit more careful about where you choose to rest, dear.

Yvette - H-Huh?!

She turned, and a blue light emanated from the back of the cave. A tall Umbreon walked calmly up to her. She cowered with fear, as she had heard horror stories about what Umbreons did to other Pokémon, and this one was especially massive.

Yvette - I-I'm sorry! P-please don't hurt me!

? - Hurt you? No, of course not, dear. I could never hurt you...

He stooped his head down and gently pressed his nose to hers. She shuddered, but moved no further.

? - My name is Diesel. Diesel Warner.

Yvette - I-I'm Yvette...

Diesel - Well, Yvette, there's no need to stay over here. Please, come back in, away from the cold.

Yvette followed, as the Umbreon gently guided her back into the cave. It was, in fact, much more comfortable there, and she was able to curl up nicely. Diesel, unaccustomed to visitors, laid on his back, his legs splayed out rather indecently. Yvette blushed, and cleared her throat...

Yvette - So... You live alone, I suppose...?

Diesel - Hm? How'd you guess?

Yvette - Usually, you don't... um... Show that to people...

Diesel - Show what to people?

Yvette - Your, um... your private parts?

Diesel thought for a moment, then realised what she meant.

Diesel - Oh. Is it disturbing?

Yvette - N-no, of course not! ...B-but-

Diesel - Never mind, I'll cover up.

He quickly turned over, to be more presentable for her, which was of some comfort to her. Soon, they were snoozing.

The next morning was even stormier, and Diesel wasn't able to guide Yvette home as he had intended, so they stayed indoors and ate berries. Several days of tumultuous weather went by, and Yvette started to worry more and more. Soon, she did nothing but mope near the mouth of the cave, staring out at the driving rain. Her sadness broke Diesel's heart, yet he couldn't find any way to comfort her. He hugged her tightly, and carried her back into the cave, hoping to draw her away from her troubles, yet still she moped. He decided to try one last thing.

Diesel - Yvette... You are very beautiful...

Yvette - Beauty can't take me home...

Diesel - Please don't worry, my dear... The storm will let up eventually... Then you can go home... If you want to...

Yvette - Of course I want to, what do you mean?

Diesel - You could stay... if you wanted to... I-I know I want you to...

Yvette - D-Diesel?!

Diesel - I love you, Yvette! I've always been alone, but... With you here... Taking care of you... It... It's given me a purpose... I... I can't imagine life without you anymore...

Yvette - Diesel... I... I...

Diesel - I-I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up...

Yvette - N-no! Diesel... I love you too! I-I'll stay with you forever...

Diesel - Yvette! Th-thank you...

And then, for the first time, they kissed each other.
