Chapter 4-In Need of A Miracle
Chapter 4
I didn't stop walking with Eve until we'd gone a few miles south of Lavender Town. Even though there was a rest stop up ahead, I decided it would be a better idea if we set up camp somewhere a good distance from the road so we wouldn't draw attention to ourselves; and so I'd have enough time to possibly teach her a few things before bed. After setting up the tent, I led Eve inside. Since I used to travel with a friend, I made sure to buy a tent that was built for two before I left home. There was no problem about elbow room inside for the both of us. Once we were both seated, I set my backpack in between us and opened it up. Eve was very attentive as I searched through it for one of my spare sets of clothing and pulled it out for her to see. I knew my shirts wouldn't fit her very well, but maybe if I tried matching it up with something, we'd be able to barely get buy until I could manage to get her some ladies' clothes. I would have done it while we were in Lavender, but most shops were closed by now; Not to mention that I didn't exactly have the money to go and buy her something decent.
I won't bother going through the details of how I managed to teach Eve how to get dressed. Most of it was just her mimicking my movements, but a majority of it was also spent helplessly gawking at her like an idiot while I tried having her wear a few things. I'm not going to say I didn't find her very attractive. Watching her like that made me feel guilty though. Any other girl would have knocked me flat for it, but she was just so innocent and shameless...it didn't feel right doing that to other girls, and it felt even more wrong to do it to somebody who didn't know any better.
After an hour, I finally found something that seemed to stay on her somewhat better than the just shirt she was wearing earlier. I had to lend her my vest to keep the that from falling off her again, as well as my belt to hold up a pair or my jeans on her slender frame. Now everything looked extremely baggy on her, and I'd have to hold up my own pants until I could buy a new belt at least. Now she was more clothed than me. All I had on now was another one of my V-necks and the jeans I was wearing already. Since she had my belt, the best I could do about my pokeballs was to hold them in my pockets since she had my belt. And we'd just have to work like this until I managed to make some money to buy her clothes, or by some miracle make it to Vermillion City. No sweat.
...ah, who was I kidding? This whole thing was a lost cause! Not only that, but Eve didn't seem to enjoy wearing clothes at all. She had been whining and fidgeting around uncomfortably ever since I dressed her; and now she was stripping out of everything. Sighing heavily, I gathered up the messy bundle of clothes and looked them over. I've gotta come up with something fast. I thought. This really is going to take a miracle.
That miracle would have to wait though. I spent so much of the evening worrying about ways to keep Eve safe, I didn't realize how late it was until now, or how exhausted I was actually feeling. I didn't know what to think about today. Team Rocket, this weird Pokemorph deal that that crazy professor had been babbling about, Eve being some kind of genetic experiment...it was just too much and too bizzare to take in at once. And what the heck was it all for anyway? Just thinking about it all now gave me a headache. Or maybe that was just exhaustion. Sighing heavily, I gathered up the clothes that Eve had taken off and packed them in my bag, doing my best not to take another glimpse of her. I knew she had fur covering her, but it still felt like she was naked to me every time I saw her without actual clothes on.
Once I had my belongings tucked away, I turned off the safety lamp I had by my bag. Hopefully, I could think of something after a good night's rest. Since I only had one sleeping bag, I decided to let Eve borrow it for now. I just made a small pallet on one side of the tent for myself. Saying a quick goodnight to her, I flopped down onto it and shut my eyes quickly, trying not to tempt myself into turning to gawk at her again. I was hoping she would understand it was time to sleep and crawl into the sleeping bag like I showed her. It didn't take long until I realized she wasn't using it though. Her fur brushing across my arm was the first thing that gave her away. I figured I'd just have to show her again, so I rolled over and started to get up, only to get pinned on my back as she took the opportunity to move over me. I didn't have any time to move at all when she flopped down on top of me, letting out a quiet "Vee." as she leaned in and gave my cheek a few gentle licks. I should have known she'd do something like this after the way she stuck by me all day. Trying to get a separate bed from her was going to be hopeless if she planned on clinging to me like this all the time. I didn't know why she was so attached to me after we'd only been together a few hours, but having a naked girl going to sleep on top of me wasn't going to help me get any rest. Eve seemed to just melt against me as she dozed off. She looked so comfortable I didn't have the heart to move away from her. I just layed there in silence and tried to get some sleep myself, but the position I was in now didn't help anything.
I could tell already that this was going to be a really long trip to Vermillion...
