“Auburn! Hey Auburn!” The pink cat bounced up and down around the sleeping Eevee. The Eevee named Auburn stirred slight as she tilted her head towards the Skitty and opened her eyes slightly.
“Yes Ava?” reluctantly looking at the hyperactive Skitty.
“Wake up! I wanna play!” Ava bounced left and right, not holding still even for a second. The tired Auburn stretched out her paws and yawned as she rises from her spot on the ground.
“What do you want to play?” Auburn asked sleepily, still not fully awake.
Ava began circling around the Eevee, “I wanna play tag!”
“Alright, but on one condition,” Auburn grinned mischievously.
Stopping in place and tilting her head slightly, Ava asked, “and what might that be?” Auburn approached the Skitty and slowly placed her paw on the cat’s head.
“Your it!” She declared and proceeded to race away from the Skitty, who now was happily chasing after Auburn.
Elsewhere in the house, a braixen named Mags was cleaning the room for when their trainer Layla comes back. Dusting, straightening up the books on the shelves, and tidying up the room was very important to him. So when the two came scampering into the room, it was understandable that he would be annoyed with them.
“HEY! Don’t you two create another mess that I gotta clean up.” The two stopped in their tracks, Auburn looking especially ashamed of herself. Ava, however, proudly stridded up to Mags and poked his leg with her paw.
“Your it!” she declared, the Braixen none to happy about this.
“I am not going to play with you, I have work to do.” He turned back to the shelf of books he was currently arranging.
“Come on Mags! You know you want too!” He just rolled his eyes and continued to focus on his work.
Ava, the cunning cat that she is, slowly moved up close to the Braixen and whispered into his ear. Immediately Mags froze in place and slowly turns his head to her.
“You wouldn’t dare…” he glares back at the smiling cat.
“If you play with us, then I will forget about it.” That smile from Ava looked innocent, but Mags knew that smile meant trouble if he didn’t comply.
With a heavy sigh, he mumbled, “Fine,” before looking at Auburn and calling out, “Hey Auburn, come here for a second.” Reluctantly Auburn approached Mags.
“…Yes M–umph,” she had been interrupted by Mags putting his paw into her face.
“Your it,” he grinned. He and Ava then dashed off leaving Auburn behind.
“HEY! THAT WAS A CHEAP TRICK!” Auburn yelled as she chased after Mags.
Layla walked up to the porch and took out her keys to unlock the door. While doing so, Layla could hear sounds of a commotion going on inside the house. Once the door was opened Layla was greeted by both Auburn and Mags currently running away from something. The two Pokemon froze in place, shocked to see Layla. Ava came bounding into the room soon afterwards.
The Skitty looked over to the door and smiled brightly as she ran over to Layla and with a quick bap to Layla’s leg Ava declared, “Your it!” Layla looked to the other two who looked nervous and then back to the very proud Ava.
“Oh, so I’m it am I?” she asked slowly, making Auburn and Mags nervous. “Well then… I guess I better… GETCHA!”
Ava smiled brightly as she began to dart away from Layla. There was no way Ava was going to get caught, after all, she was the bestest tag player ever!
AUTHORS NOTE: Okay, this took way to long to do and I am sorry! I promised to write a story for @ask-team-fancy-pants, like 2 years ago. This isn’t even the original pitch either. I changed it as I was so depressed after last year that I didn’t want to write anything that had negativity. So, this is for you @ask-team-fancy-pants! I hope you like it.
Also, that header image took me 4 hours to do on Photoshop and it was me just trying to figure out how Photoshop works. It is traced over images of Auburn, Mags, and Ava, though Ava’s is two images.
Anyway, this is a fanfiction based on @ask-team-fancy-pants. I do not own these characters, but I will happily write about them.
