[Lulu]
I stretched before flowing off my work desk. I left the design I had been working on for Rarity's later approval. I looked over at a pony mannequin (I could never call them by what Rarity does) wearing a partly made dress. With a weary sigh, I leaned against my stool. I was feeling very much overworked. It seems everyone wants a Lulu Belle Original since Rarity opened her Manehatten store.
Or rather, since we came out. I smiled. Good thing Rarity and I made that agreement.
I risked a glance at the clock, and had to take a second look. It seemed that I had worked for an extra hour. Normally, this wouldn't be a bad thing, but this week, I had the pups over.
"Suri!" I called into the hallway. "I'm heading out now. Got an idea for a new design on my desk for review." I could never get used to the buzzing my collar made....
"Okay! Have fun with the pups!"
"That's the plan!" I chuckled. Assuming that there's a den to come home to....
With another sigh, I left through the employee's entrance. Unlike Suri or Rarity, I didn't live at work. Instead, I lived closer to the bay in an apartment complex favored by griffins. I flowed through the streets, stopping off at the fishmongers for tonight's dinner. Once the salmon was paid for, I made my way home as quickly as I could.
Thankfully, everything was still standing when I arrived. Nodding to the front gate guard, I trotted to the elevator. I launched a small bubble to the call button, and was surprised when the door opened right away. An older griffon stepped out before noticing me.
"Heading up, Miss?"
"Yes, floor fifteen."
Hooking a talon around the door, he tapped the button for me. Waving off my thanks, he left the lobby. From there, the trip to my door was uneventful. I unlocked my custom door, and entered my den.
"Sorry I'm late." I called into my home, listening to shuffling paws. "Got caught up at work. I just need a moment to prep dinner, then we can eat." I slid my saddle bags off and pulled the fish out. My collar was hung on a hook by the door.
I had just tossed dinner into the oven, when I heard something that made me mentally cringe.
<<Hey, Mom?>> Sapphire called in a 'please don't be mad at me' tone. <<Could you come here please?>>
What did they do?
I followed my daughter's voice into my living room. Once there, I was struck speechless.
My sons and daughter were propping up a large card. Behind them, I could see an envelope straining to hold its contents in. The card they were holding, and most of the room, was covered in crude stick figure cutouts, cheap gems, and a school's worth of glitter. They held it up with nervous smiles.
I sat in the doorway, one paw covering my mouth. I held my other front leg out in an invitation for a hug. One my children wasted no time in taking.
Finally, I found my voice. "It's a little big to go on the fridge...." My gaze lingered on the bedazzled words on the card.
'We love you, Mom.'
I got to admit I got kinda sad after reading because it wasn't a proper chapter (no story development)
Hey Symphonic, what will you do if they release a new eeveelution in the upcoming pokemon movie?
cute

First and foremost, I've heard rumors that there is going to be two new eeveelutions in the next generation. That being said, I will not be adding them into the story. If/when the eggs hatch, I may have the pups evolve into the new ones. Assuming I get that far before the story ends.
8922340
It's all good.
Am I correct to assume this is an omake of the future event?
8922386
Like I said: this is optional cannon. It is a future event, but it's up to the individual reader to decide if it really happens.
You just reminded me that it's Mothers Day.
...
"SSHHHIIIIIII-"
Cute!
Very cute.
Happy mother's day!
8920978
I dunno.......
So, I'm assuming there's a chance of their collars either being enchanted to allow them to communicate or learn how to speak equestrian?
I was honestly very confused at first because I didn't read the title
Happy mothers day
Welp, in a few weeks the docs gonna have a new section for bonus chapters!
Happy Mother’s Day Symph. Sweet chapter!
optional canon?
interesting things: Lulu communicates with non-evee creatures, Lulu has children.
deductions made: something happened in the timeline before the events of this chapter (I'm guessing Discord) which allows them to speak what is considered to be Common is the MLP multiverse. something else happens which allows the eggs to hatch. once again, I'm guessing Discord.
Daaaawwww......
*brain re-engages*
Oh, this is an interesting look at a future.
8922340
Two eggs.
Two new eeveelutions.
You planned this.
Clever lad\girl.
8926253
There are actually four eggs at this time.
8926291
Ah, my mistake.
Still, though, some planning was had.
8926851 thanks
(long rant incoming)
I normally don't like crossover fics like this, 90-something percent just feel so forced, like an author cramming two random worlds together and getting a big unreadable mess. However. THIS fic is full of charm, fun characters, and the world building is really well done.
I love the way you are dealing with the characters coming to terms with their changes (Leo's egg situation especially) and the mental obstacles and breakdowns they suffer. I was worried that because there isn't one single main character, but a group, that it would be hard to care about the characters (or that they would blend together and just be X number of generic self inserts). Instead, they each have their own ways of dealing with their issues and I am genuinely interested in what happens to them and how they feel/develop.
As for criticism, I did feel that maybe the characters started to take on their "owners" personalities a little quickly. Namely the water one throwing "Darling" into every sentence seemed a bit meh. My other complaint is that I ran out of chapters to read, but that's my problem, not yours ;)
Overall, I have really enjoyed this so far, and can't wait to see what happens.
8929340 Eh, he was a nothing character. Just generic stock bad manager type, with no influence on the show outside of that one episode.
Starlight is still here... still being Sue... she must die.
When will we see the next chapter
8929426
still a dick. at least starlight had reasons for what she did. he was just a greedy dick.
Now let's see here:
Tense Error: cringe - you already have your past form in 'made' you don't need two
Da fuq? When is dis?
Ok who has what form as of now. It is a little hard trying to keep up with all the characters. I know of abes
Wow. Okay. Glimpse into the possible future? Neat.
Em... ?
This was sweet and adorable.

I just recognize Abe as Umbreom and Vil as the winter pot, and maybe LuLu as aquarion? From there to me all the others are Eevee
