Newt! Guess what guess what!

[Morning, Newt. Hope you weren't trying to have a nice, calm morning or anything.

Mabel has been up for a few hours already and looks beyond excited as she bops about, clearly hopping from one foot to the other.]

I've got a surprise for you!!

[Psh, what its a calm morning? She does however look a bit surprised as she rarely gets messages on her gear.]

You do?

[She tilts her head slightly.]

What is it?

[Mabel bites her lip to keep from giggling, motioning for Newt to hang on a second as she ducks out of view--

then reappears holding a pair of Helioptiles.]

I found a newt-y Pokemon! Two of them! They're sisters and I've been telling them all about you and this one-- [She motions to the slightly smaller one with spotty markings.] --wants to come visit you!

[That really gets her attention and ...yup, it's the rare, actually really excited Newt that her past almost managed to get rid of. Aka: smiling, surprised smiling.]

I didn't think you'd find any and- And one of them wants to meet me? Really?

I was determined! And of course! I told them all about you and how you're named after a lizard-y, newt-y creature from home and how they sorta look like it and she really wants to meet you now!

[The little Helioptile nods shyly, tail wagging where it hangs as she clings to Mabel's arm.]

[Oh, Mabel. Why are you so awesome.]

That's....

[Probably one of the nicest things someones done for her.]

I'd really like to meet her too. .....thank you.

[Silly Newt. You're the awesome one that's why Mabel wants to do everything she can to make you smile!]

You don't have to thank me! Friends help friends and I love helping my friends!

[Mabel smiles warmly before looking at the younger Helioptile.]

Ready to go meet Newt?

[The Pokemon wiggles happily and let's out a happy squeak that the larger Helioptile echoes causing Mabel to giggle.]

I can get her transferred to your PC soon okay?

Really? ....okay. Then, I'm glad we're friends.

Having friends is nice.

[Which would seem a bit obvious but, she lost all her friends before and was taken away from her new friends ~~adopted new family~~ to here only after just becoming safe with them. The idea of friends that don't die on you is a new one to her.]

Okay.

[She smiles at that.]

....does she have a name already?

I'm glad we're friends too, Newt!

[Because she really enjoys having a friend like the other girl and being able to make her smile.

Especially since Mabel knows Newt comes from a pretty bad world.]

Not yet! I've just been calling them the sisters! I wanted to wait to name them both with your help!

[Yeah, horror canons are great fun to come from.]

Really? Oh....I'm not really good at naming pokemon though. I had to ask people for help when I first showed up here.

That's okay! We can do it together! [Mabel grins, gently swinging the sisters about and it seems to delight them as the Helioptiles squirm and squeak.] Let's see....oh! We could name them after seasons or colors!

[Newt thinks that over.]

They're both yellow. .....is there another word for yellow?

[Mabel sticks her tongue out of the corner of her mouth in thought for a moment.]

Canary, flaxen, dandelion, mustard, dijon, bumblebee, honey, daffodil--Oh! Dandelion and Daffodil! Those are both yellow flowers! What about those?

Oh! Those are good and they match in two ways.

[Flowers, something else Newt has only ever seen here and in pictures. She's getting quite the education.]

Exactly!

[Beaming, Mabel hugs the Helioptiles and the smaller one squirms up onto her shoulder.]

I think Dandelion would be good for yours! The spots on her back remind me of the little seeds attached to the puffs that float around when you make a wish and blow on a Dandelion!

[The little lizard squeaks and looks at the 'gear and Newt. Do you approve new friend?]

You can wish on flowers?

[Sorry that distracted her. She thinks for a moment and then looks over at the pokemon with a smile.]

That sounds like a good name.

Yeah! When Dandelions turn white and fluffy, you're suppose to pick them and make a wish then blow on them to scatter all the little fluffs!!

[It's the best tradition, Newt. You have to try it sometime!

Mabel cheered as her friend approved the name, both of the lizard Pokemon joining in.]

I'll get Dandelion on her way to you then!

Oh, I haven't seen any like that. That sounds fun.

[She will have to try that, also look up what dandelions look like.]

Alright. Um....I hope she likes it with us.

[Dandelion will be welcomed.]

She's going to love being with you, Newt, because you guys are awesome!

[What is praise by people close to her age? Newt had friends but she also was teased a lot growing up.]

....thank you. We'll do our best.
