The first of the new Clickbait Eevees is  cylonmaverick , who will be staying nice and hyper to promote Steer & Buck, everyone's favorite coffee shop! And especially Vaporeon's!

This is a collaboration done between Playfingers who did the art, and  Vinomath who did the following story:

Cyrus was walking through the mall, enjoying the quaint atmosphere before the crowds would start to pour in once the peak hours hit. With the mall having just opened, Cyrus had essentially free reign on what he wanted to do. The issue is that while the mall was open, that didn't mean the stores were! As such, the bat found himself simply taking a stroll through the interior of the mall.

While mostly everything was closed, there was a booth set up in the middle of the mall that stood out from any of the usual vendors. There were Eevees all around the sides of it, with an Espeon and Sylveon woman both giggling inside and talking among themselves. Everything about it seemed odd, not to mention the fact he had never seen the vendor before, and Cyrus had been to the mall plenty! Whatever the "Clickbait Eevees" were, the bat decided to investigate it further.

He slowly walked up to the booth, entering in on a conversation that the two there were already having.

"I'm telling you, I could totally do a handstand!" the Sylveon insisted. "I just always do it when your not looking!"

"And I'm telling you you're wrong!" the Espeon responded. "If I can't do a handstand then I KNOW you can't!"

"Espeon, listen. Just because you can't do it doesn't mean no one else can! Like I can sing and you can't!"

"Sylveon, sister, I say this with love but you WISH you could sing! You break glass with that voice!"

"I consider it a talent! Maybe I'm just trying to break mirrors with my singing! I never said it was to make ears feel good!"

"Uhm...excuse me?" Cyrus spoke up, seeing this as an opportunity to grab their attention before the break in their conversation ended.

"Oh heeeey!" Sylveon leaned onto the counter.

"What's your deal? Got all that clothes on you, so many layers and stuff!" Espeon added on.

"Well it's uh...cold outside." Cyrus responded, adjusting his green jacket a bit.

"Is it? We've been inside all day, and it's hot in here!" Sylveon commented. "That's why we're dressed so lightly."

"It's also hot in here because of me!" Espeon said, licking her finger and putting it on her hip and letting out a hiss.

"Okay then." Cyrus blinked a few times and nodded slowly. "So uh...what are your names?"

"I'm Sylveon!" the Sylveon declared excitedly. "And this is my partner in crime Espeon!"

"What the heck? You stole my thunder! I had this whole introduction bit worked up in my head and now that's just out the window!" Espeon complained.

"Just use it on the next guy! Or girl! or whoever!" Sylveon retorted.

"Yeah but it's not the same! There's no guarantee they're going to be a bat next time. It played all around with that!"

"Then you should of spoke first! That's not my fault!"

"It's fine! It's fine!" Cyrus put his hands up to try and ease the tension. "I just wanted to know what this whole thing was about."

"Oh, well that's easy! We're apart of the Clickbait Eevees!" Sylveon said grandly as she tossed her arms out and posed.

"And between us, we're the two best ones. It goes number one Espeon, number two Sylveon, number three Eevee because she's our boss, and then the others. Make sure to remember I'm number one though!"

"I just let her think that." Sylveon lean in and whispered to Cyrus. "It's easier that way!"

"I heard that!" Espeon chimed in. "She's just jealous that she's not number one! I have the list to prove that I'm the best one!"

"That's because you wrote it!" Sylveon snapped back. "Not going to argue, that's a battle I don't want to fight."

"None of that really answered my question..." Cyrus let out a weak chuckle. "What do the Clickbait Eevees do, exactly?"

"That's easy!" Sylveon said with confidence. "Stuff!"

"Stuff?" Cyrus tilted his head in confusion.

"Yeah, stuff!" Espeon chimed in. "Fun stuff! And you too can join in too on the fun stuff!"

"Oh my gosh he totally can!" Sylveon smiled. "You'd make the cutest new addition!"

"Me?" Cyrus was rather taken aback. "I don't think I exactly fit the bill. Isn't everyone supposed to be an Eevee of some sort? That's what the booth makes it seem like anyways."

"Bah! That doesn't matter!" Sylveon shook her head and waved her hand. "We let anyone who wants to join us join!"

"Assuming Eevee lets them!" Espeon said resting her arms on top of Sylveon's head. "We're just here to spread awareness and recruit new Eevees!"

"How am I supposed to be an Eevee if I'm a bat?" Cyrus questioned.

"Oh don't you worry your silly little head about that~!" Sylveon giggled as she "booped" his nose.

"Eevee is really good at working with non-Eevees to really make them feel about of the team!"

"That's how I wound up here! I don't remember much but I remember talking to Eevee and then next thing I know I'm here working for the Clickbait Eevees! It's like I was made for this!" she cheered happily.

"You should totally go to the office and talk to Eevee! I bet she'd like you!" Espeon nodded her head approving as she looked Cyrus up and down. "Yeah, you got the moxy!"

"Oh my gosh he totally has the moxy!" Sylveon instantly agreed. "You really have to talk to Eevee I think she's going to loooove you~!"

"Well where is she?" Cyrus asked, the excitement proving to be a little infectious for him as he was starting to match Espeon and Sylveon's levels.

"She's...shoot. Where did she tell us to send the next one?" Sylveon turned to Espeon hoping that she knew.

"Oh that's easy! Aren't you glad you have me as your partner?" Espeon simply giggled and wrapped her arm around Sylveon as she blinked a few times. "Shoot, I don't remember either!"

"Hey, unrelated do you mind bringing us some coffee? I want coffee! I don't know why but all of a sudden it sounds really good!" Sylveon stood up.

"Ooh, yeah! Bring us coffee!"

"But I don't even know what this is? I thought you wanted me to talk to Eevee!"

"Yeah but we don't remember! But if you bring us coffee it'll jog our memories and wake us up so that we can tell you where to find Eevee!"

"Yeah, it's simple math!" Espeon nodded her head. "Bring us back some coffee and then we'll remember!"

"Okay, uh...what kind of coffee?" Cyrus asked with a shrug, frankly unsure of how else to proceed since the two seemed dead set on this plan.

"Ooh, get me a low fat caramel frap with just two pumps of chocolate for flavor!" Sylveon said. "Actually no, two caramel pumps! That'd probably taste better!"

"For me I'll take a sugar free mocha latte with three pumps of vanilla and one coffee for you for doing such a good job!"

"Alright, that's easy enough. "Do I just pay and then you'll pay me back or do you give me the money now or..."

"We'll give it to you when you get back! I can't find my purse in here...I'll find it by the time you come back! Pinky promise!" Sylveon giggled.

"Yeah, we're super good for it, don't you worry!" Espeon added on.

"Thankies for doing this for us!" Sylveon cheered as the two waved Cyrus off, who left towards the coffee shop in confusion.

It didn't take long for Cyrus to arrive to the coffee shop, where the line was already incredibly long. It was as if everyone who would normally be at the mall was here instead, much to Cyrus' dismay. For a moment he debated about forgetting about this whole thing and going on his way. However, he had promised the two the coffee and he didn't want to go against that.

Cyrus looked around the coffee shop, seeing if any interesting characters were around. While there was nothing too crazy, there was an interesting character sitting and sipping on a drink in front of a laptop. It was an Eevee woman, dressed in a black skirt and gray blouse. She appeared to be working, and Cyrus had the realization that this could be the Eevee that Sylveon and Espeon were talking about. He got out of line and walked over to her.

"Excuse me, but are you the Eevee from the Clickbait Eevees?" he asked to her.

"That is me." she looked up from her laptop for a moment to make eye contact before looking back down to her laptop. "Who's asking?"

"My name is Cyrus, Espeon and Sylveon told me that I should talk to you and that'd I'd be a good Eevee?" he questioned.

"Oh, so they sent you over to me?" Eevee closed her laptop, resting her head onto her hands. "Then you came at the right time, though honestly I'm surprised those two airheads actually sent you to the right place."

"They actually just wanted me to bring them coffee." Cyrus answered back.

"That sounds more like them." Eevee sighed. "But as for you, please have a seat." she invited Cyrus with an outstretched hand.

He nodded, pulling out a chair and sitting across from Eevee.

"So, you want to become a part of the Clickbait Eevees then?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I guess so!" Cyrus nodded. "Espeon and Sylveon seem like they have fun."

"Perfect, because we're recruiting!" Eevee said. "We have contracts to provide advertising for various companies, including this one."

"You guys advertise for Steer & Buck Coffee? That's pretty cool!" Cyrus laughed. "Never would of guessed!"

"Our contracts are brand new, and as such we're a little short staffed. That's why Espeon and Sylveon are out there, recruiting even if they are...simply put bad at it."

"Well I want to help!" Cyrus insisted. "You guys all seem fun and I want to get in on that!"

"Perfect, but you're going to need a few changes before I can let you into the Clickbait Eevees."

"Changes? Like what?"

"Firstly, your going to need an outfit change." Eevee responded, reaching down and pulling out a green Steer & Buck Coffee apron. "And a lot of coffee in you." she said, putting a cup of coffee on the table.

"Lot at once!" Cyrus chuckled, reaching for the coffee and sipping it, recoiling immediately. "Whoa, that is, that is strong! The espresso is really pungent."

"That's because it's pure espresso. You need a lot of shots in your body, we're already behind schedule. So drink the espresso and put the apron on. And make sure it's JUST the apron." Eevee winked.

"O-okay then." Cyrus blinked a few times, shaking his head before grabbing the apron and cup and heading towards the bathroom. As he walked he took sips from the espresso, still having trouble stomaching it but going along with it. In the bathroom, Cyrus took off his clothing, putting the apron over his head and tying it behind him. He blushed a bit at the lack of coverage at his rear, but tried his best to ignore it. He drank more of the espresso, though the taste was starting to take a bit of a turn, starting to taste a little good.

Once Cyrus excited the bathroom, his body would begin to transform. His legs would stay digitigrade in their build, however the mass distribution would not as his legs would start to take on more shapely tones. The brown fur would start to shift in color drastically, starting to become a cerulean blue. It slowly grew upward, covering up the brown. During this process, Cyrus' hips would push outward, growing into childbearing proportions. With that, Cyrus' rear would also grow outward, becoming much more pert and noticeable.

The appendages behind his body would both change drastically. His rather large, batty wings rapidly shrank down, webbing starting to recede into the bones. They would then enter back into his spine, fur smoothing over on the outside to make it appear as if Cyrus never had wings at all. As for his tail, it would become both longer and thicker, practically quadrupling in size. The brown fur would be overtaken by the same light blue going down his legs, while dark blue spines grew going up and down it that would also continue up to the back of his neck.

Meanwhile, Cyrus' figure would continue to reformat. His shoulders would crack down and narrow out, blue fur replacing the brown. The fur continued down his arms all the way to his hands, covering them up entirely. His arms would lose quite a bit of mass, becoming much more slender in the process. To keep up with his changing proportions, Cyrus' hands shrank in size to become more dainty, albeit with longer, more elegant fingers. His waist pushed inward along with his back which combined with the changes to his lower body made for a defined hourglass figure.

Blue fur began overtaking Cyrus' head, starting from the top and bottom as it slowly closed in on his muzzle. His ears would become larger, with the insides of them turning white in color while the outside turned into a dark blue that matched the spines on his back. The same blue would form across the top of his head, pointing downward at the forehead. Everywhere underneath that light blue fur formed that matched the rest of the fur. Between his ears, a fin would form finishing off his pseudo hairdo. On top of that, Cyrus' facial features would start to feminize, with his eyebrows becoming thinner and eyelashes longer.

The transformation wasn't quite done yet when he walked back up to Eevee. "Hey Eevee, I think I drank a little too much espresso! I can taste color!" Cyrus said, jittering in place.

"That just means it's working! We need someone crazy about coffee!" Eevee said, grabbing two more cups. "One coffee just isn't going to work for the look we're going for!"

"But-but-but-but I've already had like...six...whole! Shots of! Espresso!" Cyrus said in rapid succession.

"Hmm...you're still not hyper enough!" Eevee shook her head. "We need you toe be on brand! How else are you going to sell the fact that your crazy for coffee when you're only drinking one? You have two arms and a tail after all!"

Cyrus was going to say something, but Eevee had already gotten to work. She grabbed two more cups, putting one at the end of Cyrus' tail, which wrapped around it to hold it while she simply handed Cyrus the other one.

"There we go! Now that's a real Steer & Buck look! They are so going to love you!" Eevee commented approvingly. "Can you hear the views yet Vappy?"

"I can hear my bones being goo!" Cyrus responded, one of his eyes twitching from all the caffeine.

Despite having so much energy, that didn't stop more of Cyrus' body from transforming. The traces of his manhood would leave him to finish off the womanly look that had been given to him. Cyrus' chest would grow outward, forming into a modest set of breasts, large enough to cause a bump at the top of the apron to push outward. Between Cyrus' legs, his manhood left him, leaving noting but an opening in its wake as the transformation into a Vaporeon woman was complete.

"Well? How's it feel girl? You liking the getup?"

"It feels great!" Cyrus said hastily, taking another sip of coffee. "Nothing greater than the feeling of espresso going down the throat! Yup yup yup! Steer & Buck! Best coffee ever!"

"I knew you'd be good for this the moment I saw you Vaporeon. We already have one back at the office but that doesn't matter. We'll just pass it off as our main Eevees out working and letting the public meet them!"

"That's fine! Good! Great even! Super great! Great great great!" she shakily drank more of the espresso, this time using the cup being held by her tail.

"There we are! You're the perfect amount of hyper! That's what we need for the Clickbait Eevees! Welcome to the team Vaporeon!"

"Good to be apart! I can do whatever you need me to do! So long as I can keep drinking this espresso! Why did I used to hate this so much? It's so good! I think I'm starting to see sound!"

"Atta girl! You're the exact kind of model this place was looking for and then some! I have to give credit to Espeon and Sylveon, they gave me the perfect candidate! You made things very easy for me!"

"It's what I do! Do do do!" Cyrus nodded her head vigorously as she drank another cup. This espresso is great! You want me to tell everyone! Because I can! I can even sing! La la la la la laaa~!" she said out loud.

"That's the spirit! Now I'm off, I have a meeting I have to get to for other clients. Do say hi to Espeon and Sylveon for me when your shift ends. Or don't, frankly I don't very much care for them. There's a reason I put them on recruitment duty. I can't stand hearing another day of Espeon feeding me fashion tips and Sylveon trying to put me in bows. They're obsessed."

"Ha! Who would obsess over something so silly?" Cyrus giggled, drinking more of the espresso. "Not me! I wouldn't obsess over anything, except Steer & Buck Coffee! It's the bestest coffee ever! How else would I be able to see what everyone was thinking?"

"Right." Eevee rose an eyebrow, tossing her purse over her shoulder. "Anyways I'm off. Do a good job advertising! Make people want this coffee!"

"Can do ma'am! I won't let you down! Nope nope nope! Nothing but up!" Cyrus responded excitedly, fully embracing the Vaporeon mantle and position. She wasted no time in drinking and walking around, hyping up the product for Steer & Buck!

"Hey Espeon?"

"Yeah Sylveon?"

"I don't think he's coming back with our coffee."
