Ever since the addition of Lady to the team all hell had broken loose. Earl had gone from a misbehaving baby pokemon to an absolute terror. He would shriek angrily every time the Smoochum came close. Cass felt like she couldn't blame him... Lady seemed hell bent on kissing absolutely everyone and everything she came in contact with and with Earl's resistance to any physical interaction Cass understood the annoyance.

But did he have to shriek all the time? Earl refused to go into his pokeball the previous evening and instead positioned himself on the edge of her bed and would toss pillows, stuffed animals and blankets at Lady every time she attempted to crawl into bed with her trainer. Suffice to say Cass hadn't really slept last night.

In a last ditch effort to try and get the pair to get along Cass had brought her trio of pokemon to the National Park. This was supposed to be a place of happiness and love and she reasoned that perhaps playing together in the baby pokemon specific section of the playground would bring them closer together. 

Dropping the pair off in the sandbox Cass took a seat on a bench nearby after leaving them with a very stern warning to play nice. For awhile it seemed as if it was going well, the two kept their backs to each other and dug into the sand. Cass quickly felt herself becoming heavy eyed and despite her best efforts her head would slump to the side and she would drift into a heavy and unwelcome slumber. 

Earl noticed Cass out like a light and smirked. Standing upright he shoved Lady, causing her to face plant in the sand before taking off in the under brush. Lady would pick herself up and begin wailing, large tear drops spilling down her purple cheeks. Instantly Cass woke up, nearly knocking the napping Meowth from her lap. "Lady? What's wrong?" The woman called between a large yawn.

Lady continued to wail, pointing towards the direction Earl had run off. It took Cass a moment to understand the gravity of the situation. She sprung to her feet and sprinted towards Lady. "Lord, watch over her!" Cass called as she fought her way through the bushes towards where she thought Earl had gone. Lord did as he was told, curling up around the sniffling Smoochum and rubbing away the tears with his tail.

"Earl?!" Cass screamed over and over, her panicked cry loud through the peace of the park.
