It has been two hours sense Angel brought back Vulpix to the lab.
'What's taking so long? Is Vulpix in worse condition then I had thought?' Angel thought with a frown.
" ..gel, ANGEL!" called Skylar.
Angel blinked and came out of her thoughts. She looked at her mother. ' Mom's worried.' she thought.
"Sorry Mom, I didn't hear you. What did you say?"
Skylar sighed " Angel, I know your worried about Vulpix, but your clothes are still wet. Why don't you go home and take a hot bath and change. I don't want you getting sick."
Angel blinked in confusion for a moment before she realized that her mom was right.
"... Sorry I forgot." Angel whispered in slight embarrassment. With that, Angel got up and looked once more at the lab doors where Vulpix is, and with slight hesitation she turned and began walking back home.

Meanwhile in the lab.
" Professor, it's been two hours. Will Vulpix be okay?" Tracy asked with concern.
"Hmm... Well my boy, We don't know how long Vulpix was in the river before falling down the waterfall when Angel rescued her. We also don't know what happened before Vulpix was in the river. All we can do now is wait until or if Vulpix wakes up. Patience is needed now. In the meantime, we can only keep checking up on her." Professor Oak responded with concern.
"Alright.... Her sir?"
"Hmm? Oh this Vulpix is a female. Quite young if I might add. Probably a few months or a year after she hatched from a pokemon egg."
Quiet soon fell over between them as the continued with the exams, hoping they hadn't missed anything concerning.
Talonflame was gently laying close to Vulpix with one wing covering her, while gently plucking at Vulpix's fur in order to groom her.

Back at Angel's home.
Angel walked in the front door she left her shoes outside so the can air out and dry. She shut the door and walked up the stairs towards the bathroom. She turned the water on and let it run until it heated up. Plugging the drain and put some rose scented bubble bath in, Angel left the bath to fill up as she went towards her room and grabbed a fresh pair of clothes.
" I really hope Vulpix is alright. I wonder if Vulpix likes the scent of roses like I do?" She muttered to herself. She made her way back to to the bathroom and turned the water off.
Angel put her wet clothes in the hamper and stepped into the bath. She shuddered in pleasure as the hot water beagn to warm her up.
"I didn't realize I was so cold."
Angel sat down and leaned back and closed her eyes.
An hour and a half later, Angel was walking down the stairs dressed and warm. She made her way to the kitchen and grabbed a gronola bar, a banana, made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and some coffee.
Angel mixed in cream and sugar into her coffee. She ate in silence as she though about the days events. But two things was still nagging her.
" What happened to you Vulpix? Why were you in the river before you fell down the waterfall?" She asked no one.
Half and our later Angel was finished eating, she cleaned up her mess and did the dishes. She then went to put the hamper of dirty clothes in the washer.
Afterwards, Angel put on a pair of wedged heeled boots on and went outside. Locking the front doors, she poketed her house key and walked towards the gardens in the backyard. She tended the garden, pulling out the weeds,and watering the plants. She then tended to her roses.

Back in the lab...
Professor Oak was finally done with the exams and was satisfied that he hadn't missed anything.
"Tracy, it's getting late, why don't you go home and get some sleep." Professor oak stated.
"Alright, but what about you?" Tracy asked.
" Not to worry my boy, I pull an overnighter and keep and eye on Vulpix, I will also get some of my reaserch for a new project done. This would not be the first time I pulled and overnighter, and it won't be the last. Now go on, I'll see you tomorrow."
"Alright, goodnight professor." With that Tracy got up and gathered his things and left.
"Goodnight young man."
Professor Oak sighed and looked back at Vulpix.
"You know Vulpix, your one lucky pokemon. A young girl jumped in the river after you fell from the waterfall, despite how bad the currents was. Her name is Angel. She is the kindest girl you can meet. Sometimes, young Angel comes by to help take care of the pokemon or assist me in my research. Mind you, Angel does have a firey temper at times, but she is still kind. I have never seen her as worried as she was when she ran inside with you and called out. The poor girl looked as though she may cry. Your lucky indeed."
After Professor Oak checked on Vulpix and gave her a new I.V. He went to his desk and began writing down notes and writing essays. All the while Checking on Vulpix frome time to time.
