Mission 6 Page 8

"Hellooo-ooo~! Anybody home?"

A cheerful, yellow Kecleon greeted Team Fortify as the others went onstage. "H'lo there!" said Darcy. "I assume you're Anana, right?"

"Yep-siree! That's a-me!" told Anana to the two. "And I assume you're Team Fortify! And Team Ombra.. Where are they?"

"They're currently doing their act," replied Darcy. "But we're done." She smiled and shoved the bag of money into their faces. "Here you go, you two! I'm giving the others their share when they come back."

Darcy thoroughly thanked Anana, and Spades was dumbstruck. "Whoa!" he gasped. "There must be a million bucks in there! I dunno if we can even fit it all in our room at Merlot's!"

Darcy put her paw over his mouth. "Sorry 'bout that, Miss Anana," she said. "He's just.. A bit excited." She very quickly flashed him a look, thanked Anana again, and left her to wait for Team Ombra.

"CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!?" exclaimed Spades to Darcy as he burst out from the bathroom. "I just counted it! It's 100 Poke! THAT'S A LOTTA DOUGH!"

"You didn't count it all," she told her partner. "And why were you counting in the bathroom anyway?"

Spades hesitated. "Nevermind. Let's say I needed extreme concentration. And there was never any-"

Bump, bump, bump!

The room turned silent. Then they heard the noise again.

Bump, bump, bump, bump!

"What was that?" whispered Darcy as the bumping stopped and went and stopped and went again. "I dunno!" said Spades. They went into the bathroom where the noise was coming from. Then they looked at the dresser where the sack of money lay.

The sack wriggled and bounced. There was something alive in it.

"What th' heck..!?" murmured Spades. Darcy tore open the what they thought was empty bag.

There was a bouncy, dark blue egg inside.

"An egg!?" cried Spades. "OHH NO! Not an egg! If we get an egg, it'll bounce 'round the house! Darcy, we gotta get rid of it!"

But Darcy was too busy reading a note. Spades leaned over her shoulder. It read:



Dear Team Fortify,

Hello! If you're reading this note, you obviously already got your award from Miss Anana! Well you'll be assured to know that that is me, who wrote this very letter. I had an egg gifted to me from Miss Missy, and I didn't know what to do with it! So please accept this as another award for your hard work.

Enjoy! And also, be careful, this egg loves to bounce around!

Yours truly,

Miss Anana



Spades went into a trauma. "AN EGG! A BOUNCY EGG! We can't keep it, Darce! It'll trash our room an' when it happens interrupt our missions! Whaddo we do with it?"

"Keep it."

Spades seemed confused. "Err, what?"

"I said we're gonna keep it."

"Keep it? You know what it'll do, right?"

"Right. And it's about time I take responsibilities."

Spades sighed. "Alright. But you're taking care of it, savvy?"

"Fine."

And with that, Darcy took the egg and after a long hard day, went into her bedroom and Spades into his.

The End
