A few days later

Outis lay on the ground, seemingly lifeless. His body laying on a small blanket, not moving at all.

Suddenly, his ear went up, and he jolted awake, his eyes wide. He looked around, and looked slightly disappointed. "Darn.. He hasn't come back yet.." thought the small ginger eevee."and I really wanted to scare him to think im dead, and then WHAM BAM, I wake up and yell at him" he thought again, snickering at the thought."That's what he deserves anyways.. For leaving me all of a sudden.." He thought, before a sudden stab of guilt hit him like a truck.

He layed back down on his back, sighing. He kicked the air, feeling a bit frustrated, and then he remembered that he still has to evolve.

The eevee sat up, and started thinking, but the first thing that popped into his head was a leafeon. "Maybe I should evolve into that?" he thought, having mixed feelings.

The sky grey darker and grey-er, dark grey clouds forming above while a jolt of yellow-white flashed beneath the thick sheet of clouds. "Hmm.. Maybe a jolteon? That sounds cool" thought Outis, looking up at the sky. Somehow it felt.. Wrong, to want to evolve into a jolteon. "Ok.. First choice then".

Outis suddenly remembered that flyer, the one about the treehouse. He rubbed his head, kind of curious about it. He groaned, and walked to the same place where he found it, jumping through alleys and boxes to get to his destination.

It was dirty, but it was still there, surprisingly. The eevee thought it might have blown away from the wind. He picked it up, and tried to brush as much dirt and dust aside as he could, until most of it was visible. The flyer was bright, and slightly obnoxious to the eyes. Pictures took up most of the paper, and there were small black words giving information about the place, and what the point of going there would be. Outis scanned the paper a bit, reading only words he could understand, and important words. Apparently, the eevee was able to find out how to read a little bit from Rei.

Like he knew before, it was about a treehouse school-thingy, meeting other eevees, learning about evolved eeveeloutions, free food and water, a warm place to stay, blah blah blah.. But the thing that lightened up Outis's eyes was the food and water. Now that was something worth going for.

"Wait... Should I EVEN go?" Outis thought, confused. "I have to tell Rei if I end up leaving.. Ughhhhhh....". Outis looked at the paper again. He didn't know the time, or day, but what he DID know was he had to go there soon if he was EVEN going to go, or else they wouldn't accept any more students. He palmed his face, seemingly brainstorming.

After a while of thinking he just sighed, and walked back to his hiding spot. He'll have to think about this overnight, or else he might make a stupid decision and regret it all.

It was a cold comforting day, and Outis was perching on the tall ledge of a building. He decided to go to sleep early, as he curled into a ball, and he waited for sleep to come.
