It took nearly two hours to reach emerald as I panted softly as the heat was so intense due to the recent rainfall from yesterday. I was just glad to be home and I entered quickly to escape the heat.

Once I was in, I sighed deeply while holding the box that Shine made. My fur was matted due to sweating so much as I slowly walked towards my room. Upon getting into my room, I laid on the bed and placed the box next to my side. I stared at it for a moment before my door suddenly opened. I looked back to noticed Spark walking in, just having woken up from his sleep.

"When did you get back?" He groggily said.

"I stayed over at Eclipse's place." I replied.

"Huh…? He was up around that time?" He asked.

"Appeared so… Wanted to give me a box that Shine made for me." I said, showing the box.

"Huh, nice. Well, I'm gonna get something to eat." He said.

Spark left before I managed to say anything. I just shrugged as he left my door open while he ran downstairs. I didn't think much of it as I slowly sat up and took the box. Looking at the box, I started to unwrapping it. Once I unwrapped it, I noticed it was just a brown simple box beneath the paper. Tilting my head, I slowly opened the top.

After opening the top, there were some stuff within it.

"Huh..."

Looking through the box, I started pulling the content out. Shine neatly placed the items within so it wasn't a mess.

"Lets see what we got..." I told myself.

I started to pull more out and noticed they were some games. Seeing this made me interested as I continued to look through the box. There were a few different games that I actually enjoyed that I have yet to get. Other then the games, it came with three books and some art supplies. My interest continued growing as I removed the last bit of content which appeared to be just some random items like a shirt which had a game design of one of the games I have played before.

"Huh… This is quite nice of her." I told myself.

Once I finished looting the box, I closed it and moved it aside and looked around at the content and let out a small smile.

"This must've cost her about $100. Not sure why she wanted to repay me in an expensive way… Oh well, I'll make sure to thank her for the items soon." I said.

After I placed the items away, I suddenly heard my phone go off. Taking my phone, I noticed it was from the design company, confirming the arrival of my items at our mail.

"Huh, that's good." I told myself.

Spark soon walked up after I received the message and I looked at him. I told him and he seemed very excited to get his new shirt but I stopped him before he ran out like before.

"Calm down… Call our six friends and tell them to meet at emerald city." I said.

Spark nodded and quickly pulled his phone out, beginning to send a message to all of our friends and once he finished, he quickly placed his phone in his pocket and smiled softly. He then started telling me when we were going to get our shipment. I sighed and closed my eyes, telling him we will be going soon. Spark nodded happily and ran downstairs as I just finished placing the items from Shine away. Upon finishing everything, I walked downstairs to see Spark getting ready and he noticed me, running up to me. He wagged his tail quickly.

"Okay…! I told our friends to meet in half an hour. Ready to get our stuff?" He asked.

"I suppose..." I replied.

Spark smiled and nodded before running to the door and opened it. I followed as I closed the door behind us as Spark ran down the street. I followed him to our nearby post office since the box was too big for our mailbox and with it being Yuka, they don't leave it near your door to prevent it being stolen.

So when we reached the post office, I pulled out my mail key and opened the box to reveal a key. Taking the key, I walked to a large storage box and used the key to unlock it. After opening the storage unit, I noticed my package right there. Placing my mail key away, I took the box and looked at Spark.

"Lets get back to my place." I said.

Spark nodded as we walked back to my place and arrived about ten minutes later. Once we reached the house, I walked in and placed the box on the counter. Looking at Spark, he seemed eager to unpack it. Just sighing and shrugging him off, I pulled out a knife and began cutting the tape that kept the box closed. After I removed the tape, I opened the box and looked in.

Reaching my paws in, I started to pull out eight shirts with the phoenix icon on it. It looked just like the icon I created a few days ago and I was impressed.

"Huh… Might start using this company more often." I said.

"Yeah! They do like the most perfect jobs on it!" Spark exclaimed.

Nodding, I placed all the shirts in a folded pile.

"Seems like everything is in order. Now, time to get to emerald park to give them the shirts." I said.

"Sounds good…! Lets go!" He said.

Pulling out a suitcase, I placed the shirts into them and walked to the door. Spark followed close behind as we walked out. Once we were outside, I started walking towards the park and after ten or so minutes, we arrived and just waited for our friends. We were standing since I didn't want to sit in freezing cold water.

Luckily it wasn't long until all of them came nearly at the same time. They all seemed a little confused due to the sudden notice as I looked around.

"Alright… I brought all of you were for one thing." I said.

They all looked at me.

"A few days ago, I sorta ordered something for all of us..." I told them.

They all seemed interested as I placed the suitcase on a table.

"Since I created this team, I think we should have a logo, so I ordered these." I said and opened it to reveal the shirts.

I pulled them out one by one and giving each of them one. They all looked over it as I explained I was the one who made the logo. Almost all of them besides Hunter and Rex seemed impressed as they all tried them on which luckily fit every single one of them.

"This is pretty awesome…!" Leon spoke.

"Yeah, this logo really looks sick." Eclipse said.

The rest expressed their happiness with the design and how well they fit and all that.

"Well, glad you all like it… Since this is a team, I suppose we should be wearing some kind of logo or something like that." I told them.

They nodded and chatted among each other as I looked at Spark who had his shirt on and smiled softly, wagging his tail side to side quickly before jumping at me, hugging me slightly.

"This is pretty awesome. Great work with the icon." Spark said.

"Err, yeah. Thanks..." I replied.

Spark departed and smiled before running off to the others and began talking as well. I just watched everyone who spoke with each other as I slowly put my own shirt on. The shirt fit perfectly like I expected as I looked at the phoenix which did look pretty sick as it looked perfect on the color of the shirt. I looked back up and just stood around while they kept talking and once I managed to get a word in, I got their attention. After it became quiet, I spoke.

"Alright, so Team Star… We got a name, logo and a group. How does everyone feel?" I asked.

They all seemed happy and expressed positive feedback.

"And since I'm the leader and I guess creator, I will think of what our team should be." I said.

They all mumbled and nodded.

"Okay, so now… You are all free to leave if you want." I told them.

Rex and Hunter left while the others spoke among themselves. It wasn't long until Fang along with Leon left as well, leaving only Eclipse and Shine along with Spark. When I noticed Shine, I walked up to her and gave a somewhat small smile.

"So I opened your gift. Thanks… It was actually pretty cool." I said.

"Y- you liked it?" She looked slightly concerned.

I nodded as she smiled and hugged me softly, snuggling against my chest as I gently rubbed her back. I slowly looked at Eclipse as he chuckled and shrugged, shaking his head.

"That's good… I took hours trying to find the perfect gifts for your help..." She said.

I nodded again and stroked her back slowly as she wagged her tail which wrapped around my arm. Once she finished rubbing against me, she stared at me with a soft smile before walking back to Eclipse. Eclipse chuckled more and gently hugged Shine. I looked at Spark who had a smug grin on his face.

"I swear I'll slap that grin off your face if you continue that..." I said.

"Aw, come on, it's cute, hehe." He let out a chuckle.

Groaning and looked down, I just tried ignoring his smug attitude. So after that, I looked at Eclipse and Shine and spoke.

"So… Planning on doing something?" I asked.

"Eh, I am actually unsure. Sorta finished all my projects and all so I don't really know." Eclipse said.

"Yeah… I think I'll just stay inside and watch a show I'm into..." Shine softly spoke.

Nodding, I looked around and stretched.

"So… I suppose you two will just be going home then? Or just Shine?" I asked.

"Yeah, I might just head home with Shine for now. These shirts are pretty sick however. Thanks for them." He said.

"Yeah, no problem..." I replied.

Eclipse nodded and spoke to Shine for a little bit. Eclipse then looked back at me and told me they'll be going now. I nodded as the two walked off as Shine slowly followed Eclipse. Once they were gone, I looked at Spark as he was on his phone doing his own thing. He soon looked up and smiled, placing the phone away.

"So…! What do you wanna do now?" He asked.

"I guess we can go home for now if you want..." I said.

"Sounds good! Lets go!" He said.

Nodding at him, we walked back to my place and once we arrived back, we just walked in and sat on the couch. I leaned my head back as Spark turned the TV on and watched some stuff. I slowly lifted my head back up and looked at the TV as Spark looked at me and smiled.

"I'm sure Team Star will be a great team!" He said.

"Sure, if you say so." I said.

Spark nodded and somewhat hugged his tail and rubbed it against his face.

"So, summer. It's like two weeks away!" He exclaimed.

"Yep… Even though it felt like summer already since middle school has been out for a few weeks due to some 'reconstructions'." I said.

"Yeah, at least we got an extended summer and it hadn't even started!" He said.

"Yeah." I replied.

"But anyways, summer vacation. I am so ready to enjoy the hot weather." He said.

"Yep, I might just do my own things." I told him.

Spark nodded and smiled softly.

"Anyways, I'm sure summer will be awesome with our new team! Maybe go on so many explorations and stuff!" He said.

Nodding, I just watched the TV.

"So… With it starting very soon… What are your plans?" He asked.

"No idea." I said, really not knowing.

"Dang… Well, I'm sure we'll figure some stuff out." He said.

"Hmh." I shrugged.

Spark got up and smiled and soon looked at me.

"Now! While we watch TV, I'll make some plans!" He said.

Nodding slowly, I just watched the TV as Spark ran off and brought back a large piece of construction paper. He then started writing out what we would do during summer vacation as I sighed at him and let him do his thing...
