Suffice to say, she was nervous. The young boy was dressed in a beautiful, pastel blue dress, her hair tied back in a beautiful, braided pony tail. She had spent most of them morning dressing up, and even went to church to celebrate the holiday. However, there was one other thing she had to participate in today. Holding a basket in one hand, she approached the beautiful park. Everywhere she saw people and eggs, dashing to grab every single one that they could. With a sigh and a nervous smile, she went to the emptiest part of the park she could find. It seemed to only be empty because all of the eggs had already been taken from here, but she was sure she could find some anyway. Her Kricketot was out with her, to help her look. She had bought him a coffee from a local store, so he was absolutely full of energy and ready for the day ahead of them. It would be long. Hopefully no one would ruin her fun-- she was afraid of someone calling her out for being a boy wearing a dress, or look at her funny at all. She just wanted to look nice today, so hopefully no one would judge her. With a deep sigh, she smiled nervously and looked around. "Check the trees," she told her Pokemon, checking behind rocks and inside of bushes. The cricket nodded and half climbed/fluttered up a tree, checking around the branches for any hiding eggs. Erin got a cut on her finger from a thorn, but it was okay because she finally found her first egg deep inside of a bush. With a smile she put it in her basket and sucked on her finger. One down, who knows how much more to go? x1

From a distance, a tall feminine figure waved as she ran in Erin's direction, attempting to draw the boy's attention to her. This girl, upon closer inspection, was definitely the newbie in town, known as Melissa Walker, or rather, Eu for short, since she hates the long and formal name. She wore slightly more casual clothing, clad from head to toe in various tones of purple and dark gray. She wore a tight, silky purple striped blouse, with a loose gray jacket that hung from her shoulders, and a frilly purple scarf, all over tight black slacks that covered her unusually long legs. She even wore her brown hair up in a frilly purple ribbon, tied back on one side, and in her arm, she carried a small matching basket, currently empty of eggs, however.. in her other hand she held what appeared to be one freshly found, still covered in dew and a few strands of grass, which she put in her basket as she came closer.
Approaching Erin, she smiled, a little breathless, and gave a courteous greeting to her friend. "Hey there Erin, I thought I'd never find you!" she said, teasing. "I just found one egg, but it's the only one I could seem to find, and I've been searching for what seems like forever!" she exaggerated with a sigh. "Do you know any good spots to look?"

Erin's normally shadowed and dark brow eyes lightened as she lifted her head, letting the light splash down across her freckled face. She broke out into a smile as the girl approached her, recognizing her face as someone she actually knew. ( And thankfully, someone that she knew and wasn't totally afraid of talking to! ) "Oh, hi Melissa! Actually, no, I'm not sure," she replied, purposefully lighting her tone to a higher octave, about to run her fingers through her hair before remembering she had braided it earlier that day. "I've only found one myself, in this bush. There might be more in nearby bushes." CRACKShe jolted slightly as a sudden snap in the air took her attention. Nearby, a thin branch fell out of the sky and her Kricketot came tumbling down with it. In his little claws, however, was an egg. She bolted over to her Pokemon and let out a nervous laugh. "Are you okay, buddy?" She asked him, only to get a sharp noted buzz as a response. The yellow colored, tiny egg was placed in her basket by the bug type as he got to his feet. "Maybe you should be a bit more careful when you're up there. Some of the branches seem pretty thin." She smiled at him warmly, tilting her head. Normally Erin was a lot more shy-- but ever since getting her starter she had lightened up considerably, even though the Kricketot was a bit of a grump. x3

Eu giggled and leaned down to inspect Erin's Kricketot with a smile. "This is your first pokemon?" she asked, delight flickering in her jade green eyes. "He sure looks formidable, for a starter! I'd love to battle you guys once I get my own Pokemon!" Eu exclaimed, happy at the thought of a first battle. She patted Kricketot on the head twice, then picked up her basket, inspecting her measly collection of one egg, the began to ponder her thoughts aloud.
"I wonder which Pokemon I should choose. I hear the lab has lots of cool starters to pick from!" she said, her eyes distant and wistful. Suddenly, her expression changed as she spotted something - A bird pokemon of some sort, hunched over two oval-shaped objects sitting in one of the trees. Eu's expression changed rapidly from confusion, to horror, as the bird pokemon heaved each of the eggs up in one of its massive talons, and spread its wings, preparing to take off.
"No!" she shouted as she sprinted in the bird's direction, leaving her basket fallen on the ground.
[ OOC : Need to add some excitement! Haha. Once we each get the eggs back, we'll count them. :3 ]

"Yes, he's my first," Erin replied excitedly, remembering the creep she had to deal with to get him. He wasn't the most enthusiastic team member, but he was crazy tough. "You should get whichever one you want! I went to the Ranger Station because I couldn't decide..." She laughed softly, smiling more. She blinked, bewildered, as her friend's attention wavered and she focused on something else.
When she bolted away, leaving her basket behind, the young trainer picked it up for her and gave chase, seeing just what she was after. The bird had already taken off, to take whatever it had in its grip far away from the duo. "Come on," she told her Kricketot, who gave chase by her side. "See if you can shoot it out of the sky with a Mud Slap," she told the cricket Pokemon, as she saw that the bird held two eggs in it's talons.
The sound that came out of her Kricketot was sharp and irritated. < Ground attacks can't hit bird types, genius! > He complained, not that his trainer understood. She gave him a look, but he just huffed. There was nothing he could do to get the bird on the ground. He slowed down as he found another egg out of the corner of his eyes, in the roots of a tree. He picked it up, rolling his eyes as his trainer kept chasing after the bird. He would catch up to her later, in theory.
"There has to be some way for us to bring it down," she fretted, trying to catch up to the taller girl and the bird Pokemon.

Eu raced over the grassy fields, heaving in jagged breaths as she strained to keep up with the egg thief. Her legs burned and she could barely turn to see if her friend Erin was keeping up with her. Right now, though, the most important thing was to get those eggs back, before the bird got away!
The bird seemed to have found its nest, and began to hover closer to the ground as it prepared to land. Perfect! Eu thought to herself, and putting on an extra burst of speed in her limbs, Eu made a final dash in preparation to jump, as the bird was now in reach.
She halted abruptly, though, as an awkward shriek of alarm escaped the pokemon, and Eu looked up, eyes searching, to see what had scared it. Her gaze then snapped to one of the eggs, which had somehow managed to slip out of the pokemon's grasp, and was now tumbling full speed towards the hard earth.
Panic stricken, Eu delved into a desperate sprint, realizing she could catch it if she just run a little faster. She wasn't the only one attempting to keep the egg from falling though! The bird, having regained it's awareness, was now in a headlong dive in an attempt to rescue the egg. Eu put as much energy as she could into her sprint, until it felt like she was flying over the grass, and realizing how close the bird was to the egg now, made a daring leap over the ground. Hands outstretched in midair, Eu fumbled as her fingertips found the edge of the egg, but gravity was beginning to bring her back down to earth.
Desperate to keep the egg safe, Eu threw herself at the egg, catching it safely in the palm of her hands, and cradling it against her chest as she made a painful landing against the unforgiving earth.
Stunned, Eu laid there gasping for a few minutes, then regained awareness and checked the egg thoroughly for any damage.
"Safe." she breathed, relief washing over her as she held the egg firm. "You're safe."
She began to get up when she saw the bird pokemon flying towards her. Afraid for another attack, Eu tried to stand up, but only managed to fall over again. The bird pokemon merely hovered close to her though, as she turned to look at it, and a grateful glimmer shined in its eyes. It sqwacked at Eu in appreciation, and laid the other egg gently by her feet, before flying off in the other direction.
Relieved that the bird had realized its mistake, Eu, took up the other egg in one hand, and looked around for her basket.

Erin raced to catch up with her friend, nearly tripping over her dress along the way. She didn't have a lot of experience running like this, in a long flowing dress. She had plenty of experience with a lot of other things-- from wearing her skirt a lot!-- but running this fast was... Eeck.
She almost tripped as she watched the events fold out from in front of her. She blinked and happily accepted the egg the bird Pokemon had set down. She put it in her basket and hadned her friend the one she had left behind. "You almost lost your basket for these eggs." She smiled.
"Um... Where did my Kricketot go?" Erin asked, looking around sort of confused. "Oh, he must have fallen behind." She frowned a bit, but soon was smiling again. "That's okay. I'm sure he hasn't gone too far." She waved her hand and started to head back the way they came. "I bet we passed a bunch of eggs chasing that Pokemon," she said enthusiastically.
((You have 3 and I have 3...now 4 from this thread and 1 from a previous thread :3))

[ OOC: Lol it's taking me a while to figure this out.. I think I have 2, and you have 3.. so that makes 5? 0: -had to go back and look at previous posts, LOL- xD ]
Eu smiled and put her eggs in her basket with care, eying the neighboring trees suspiciously until she was sure there were no other pokemon. She then dusted off her clothes and looked around, looking frustrated. "Huh, I don't know. I hope your kricketot is alright! There seem to be a few wild pokemon living around this area." she said, a bit concerned. She then took a deep breath to steady herself, and smiled again. "Well I bet if we keep searching for eggs, we'll find your Kricketot along the way too!"

((The eggs are counted seperately for each of us. Each post you make gets you an egg, and each post I make gets me an egg. We don't add them together because the other egg hunt threads would have like 50+ eggs for anyone who joined now. XD Also, you can join one other egg hunt thread if you want! Everyone is allowed to be in two Egg hunt threads at once, so feel free to wander over to any other thread and get even more eggs besides this one. <3)) "I'm sure they don't mean much harm. People come to this park all the time after all," Erin said with a wistful tone as she walked back along the way they came, her eyes searching the grass and trees for more eggs. "So the Pokémon must be pretty tame from all the interactions. Besides, my Kricketot is pretty tough, so I doubt he'd get hurt at all." She smiled widely, her eyes honing in on a strangely tall patch of grass. "Hey, I bet there are some eggs over here!" She exclaimed, bolting to the large outcrop of weeds. She tangled her fingers through the mess of green blades until her hands touched something smooth. "Aha!" She lifted up one pretty little green egg that had a beautiful sheen to it. "One more for the basket~" She said with a giggle and placed the egg in her basket. x 7 ((Also eep going to leave this thread now but um if you come back sweetie just like shove me over and i'll come back or something maybe but I'm going to go join this other thread and I can only be in two at once!)) >> Erin has left the thread!
