Mystic heard a bush rustle behind her. "W-whose there?" She asked, going into a battle stance.

As if to answer her question, an Umbreon leaped our of the bushes. She jumped in fear thinking he might attack her unexpectedly.

"Relax bright eyes, are you supposed to be a Leaveon or an Espeon?" The Umbreon asked.

"An Espeon..." she answered.

"Then why do you wear that large leaf on your head. You know green isn't your color." The Umbreon said jokingly as he circled around her. "You know you're in my territory. What are you doing here? You're not looking for trouble are you?" He asked.

"No, I'm sorry that I've stepped into your territory. I was just passing through."

"Well if you want through, you should take that silly leaf off of you." The Umbreon replied.

"I-I can't."

"And why not?"

"Because... I just can't..."

"Then I won't let you pass. You still are an intruder on my territory. I don't have to let you pass." The Umbreon said.

"Fine... But please don't laugh..." she then takes the large leaf off and reveals the cracked gem.

"Laugh about what? All I see is an Espeon that shows her true colors." The Umbreon stated.

"You mean you don't care about my cracked gem?"

"Cracked gem? No...." He snorted as if what she said was a joke. "I haven't noticed that. I just saw an Espeon that shows that she has the potential to go into my territory. What is your name, Bright eyes?"

"My name is Mystic and you are?"

"I'm Orfeo." He answered.

"It's very nice to meet you, Orfeo."

"Well you should follow me. I'd like to know more about you and where you're from." Orfeo said.

"Well... Okay" Mystic responds shyly as she follows him.

Suddenly, a green Espeon appears in front of them and blocks their way.

"Grace... Fancy seeing you here..." Orfeo replied, surprised.

"Orfeo, Who is this ragamuffin and what is she doing in our territory?" Grace asked.

"Relax she's just passing through" he replied as he pushed passed her as Mystic followed suit.

"Passing through...? Right..." she rolled her eyes not buying it. "I see it in her eyes. She's trying to steal my Mon. I don't think so." She muttered to herself.
