//present day//

Eve: jack! Jack wake up!

I opened my eyes as I felt eve jumping up and down on top of my stomach

Jack: I'm up...I'm up.

She stood next to me as I sat up in my bed

Eve: jack do you remember what day it is today!?

Jack: uhh...Tuesday?

She had a disappointed expression on her face

Eve: ooh come on jack! I've been talking to you about this for days now!

Jack: I'm sorry I just don't remember!

Eve: "sigh" oh brother...you promised to take me to the carnival in town today jack!

I had completely forgotten about this. The town's annual wonder festival was today. The festival almost always had a small carnival with games, rides, food and other entertaining pass times. It also had many contests and competitions. The primary event of the wonder festival however was the wonder market (hence the "wonder" festival) which was held in town square where merchants and explorers of all walks of light came to sell new unique items that most people have never even seen before and not just that but all of this goes on for the rest of the week! I did promise eve I'd take her like she said though.

Jack: huh...I guess I did say that didn't I? Well alrighty... you're ready then I suppose?

Eve jumped down from the bed excitedly

Eve: of course I've wanted to go to the festival for years now!

I hopped out of bed and walked just out my bedroom

Jack: ok then let's get some grub then head out eh?

She happily agreed and we went to the mansion's kitchen to get some breakfast. Once we finished I was grabbing some cash and such for the carnival when Seth woke up

Seth: hey where are you two going?

Jack: oh your awake...well I promised eve that I would take her to the wonder festival today.

Seth: oh really? Well ok then... have fun...

Eve darted to the door

Eve: we will! I'll make sure of it!!! So don't you worry seth!!

Seth: haha! Well looks like you've got your work cut out for you jack!

I rolled my eyes in response as eve and I walked out to begin heading to the festival. Once we arrived eve began running about everywhere nagging me to keep up, and I would have too if it weren't for all the other pokemon there. After a few hours of game playing, rides, and other fun activities my sister had finally grown tired

Eve: hahaha! This id the best day ever!!!

Jack: heheh...is huh? Well I'm glad your having fun sis!

Eve: hehe...great! "phew"...Well...I'm a little worn down now jack, but I'd really like to go check out all the cool stuff that's for sale over at the wonder market before we head home...is that ok?

Jack: yeah sure...I kinda wanted to go look around there myself!

Eve and I quickly arrived at the wonder market which was swarming with pokemon and decorated with booth after booth after booth! Some selling gems and stones, others selling board games, and little nic nacs, a few more were selling strange exotic looking foods and spices, there were even a couple of booths that were selling some neat looking hats, scarfs, braclets, and a lot of other things like that to!

Eve: whoa!! Do you see all of this stuff jack!?!?

I was just as amazed as she was because though I had been to the festival before I never actually ever came through the wonder market and looked at much of what was actually for sale

Jack: yeah I do sis...pretty amazing huh?

It seemed that her energy was all back to normal in a matter of seconds

Eve: OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY! THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!!

She bolted off into the crowd as I tried to keep an eye on her

Jack: eve! Hey Eve! Eve wait up!!

I attempted to follow her until i got to a small clearing of people and looked around, but I had lost sight of her

Jack: EVE!!! Eve where are you!? Eve!

???: she's right here jack...don't worry!

I turned around just too spot wispia walking up with eve as she pulled my sister by the ear

Jack: oh thank goodness...I was getting worried for a second there!

Wispia: yeah I probably would've been too if I were you! "giggles"

Eve: ok ok! Can you let go of my ear now wispia!? It hurts!

She kindly obliged

Wispia: ok...now don't run away from your brother again eve...you could get lost.

Eve: I know! I know!

Eve turned to me now

Eve: "sigh" I'm sorry...

Jack: its ok eve...you just scared me a little that's all.

I smiled then brought my attention back to wispia

Jack: so what are you doing here wisp?

Wispia: oh me?

She diverted her sight away from me a little bit as she started to lightly blush

Wispia: n...nothing much! Heheh...I uh...I'm just looking around for anything that catches my eye...heheh...

Jack: oh...ok then well...I think eve and I are going to head home...so have fun and good luck I guess!

Wispia: oh sure thanks! You have a safe walk home!

Jack: yeah you too!

Eve: bye wispia!

Soon enough me and eve were once again walking along the path to the mansion as we talked about the day and what we saw at the wonder market

Eve: I had a lot fun today jack! I'm really glad you took me!

Jack: hey...if it makes you happy then it makes me happy too!

Eve: haha! Well that's good to know! Aaah...~

The walk was pretty quiet for about 15min or so after that until eve spoke again

Eve: sooo~~~ jack?

Jack: huh...What is it?

Eve: well...did you notice when you asked wispia why she was there that she got embarrassed~~? :3

Now I started to blush I little

Jack: uh...well I uh...I suppose I did...

Eve: hmm...you wonder why she did right? Huh...do ya? (Teasing voice)

Jack: no no...it...it was probably nothing!

My sister was beginning to enjoy herself

Eve: oooh...I bet she was looking for a special gift or something for you jack! "Giggles" (teasing voice)

Jack: oh be quiet eve. Besides I doubt she'd go through that trouble just for me...

Eve rolled her eyes then shook her head a bit

Eve: "sigh" it's so sad that you two are so obvious about how you feel about eachother and yet neither of you see it in one another...

The house was now in sight so eve rushed ahead of me to get inside

Jack: w...wait! Eve!! WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN!?!? ...EVE!!! Eve~~~~~!
