Disclaimer: No I do not own Pokemon, I will never, ever own Pokemon. All I own is a copy of few games. The poem used throughout was written by Sheelagh Lennon.

A/N: ….This is my first story in a looooong time. In fact, it's been so long that you won't even see my other stories up anymore because I realized how terrible they were in comparison to my writing now. Yep yep yep.

Anyway, I just got Pokemon Black earlier this month and it reopened my oldschool love for the poh-keh-manz :)

Summary: Dawn and White have very little to do with each other's lives. They're in different grades, clubs, and have completely different friends. However,with a new student placed into each of their classes and the school's fashion show fundraiser to plan, the two come to realize they have significantly more in common than they thought.

Pairings: (Main) Ikarishipping, Ferriswheelshipping,

(Side) Pokeshipping, DualRivalshipping, whatever else I come up with (or you suggest) ;)

Chapter 1: A Special World

7:15 AM

"Grahhhhh!"

"Jeez, no need to be so loud!"

"How could you not wake me up, you jerks?"

"Oh, don't be too mad..."

"I figured you could learn how to use that brain hidden somewhere in that skull of yours."

Another cry of anger erupted from the female brunette who was shuffling around her room, flinging clothing around, trying to pick out an outfit to wear. Two boys and another girl were standing at her door watching in amusement.

"Black, just take Cheren and head down stairs already wouldja? Bianca, help me out pleaseee?"

The first boy who had spoken, who was adjusting his baseball cap over his eyes, grinned loosely at the girl before grabbing the bespectacled boy's arm and dragging him out of the room.

"Rightio my dear! C'mon Cheren, let's grab something her mom made for us."

Ugh, that's right. Her three best friends were over almost everyday before school. Therefore, her mom had taken to cooking breakfast for all of them. Just like how Black's mom always had snacks set out when they got back from school, and how Bianca's mom was prepared to make dinner if the other three were over late enough. Cheren's parents weren't very good at cooking, so they tended to buy loads of ice cream that they knew Cheren couldn't finish all on his lonesome.

Yeah, the four of them were way too close, but to be fair, they had known each other since they were pretty much born. They were neighbors in the same apartment building, their parents even worked together! It wasn't surprising that their children, who all happened to be the same age, would grow up to be the closest friends ever.

"Ugh, don't pull on my arm Black. Black! Did you hear me? I said don't pull!" Cheren's pleas went ignored as Black enthusiastically dragged him into the kitchen.

With the two boys out of the way, Bianca approached the frantic girl's dresser and casually went through it, all the while a light smile on her face.

"I don't know what you really need me for, since you already have your clothes set out anyway."

The girl on the ground grinned widely, before standing up to start changing.

"What can I say? I just wanted to buy myself some more time before Cheren started bugging me about being way too slow."

Bianca giggled, tossing the girl the baseball cap she had placed on her door handle the night before.

Thus was the morning of one White Touko, who had roughly a half hour before school started.

A special world for you and me

A special bond one cannot see

It wraps us up in its cocoon

And holds us fiercely in its womb.

7:20 AM

Dawn Hikari let loose a breath of frustration. Her mom had needed to speed off to work today, leaving her a school much earlier than intended. Now what was she supposed to do? None of her friends even bothered to got to school this early. At least, not that she knew of.

Dawn bit her lower lip lightly as she trudged through the halls. Sure there were plenty of students already here, but they weren't her kind of students. these were the kids who relished getting to school early. Or kids who needed some Arceus forsaken extra-help.

Oh, how she hated extra-help. Staying in a room with a teacher, all alone, just the two of you. Just being with them for their required class was more than enough, why should you get forced to stay with them for any longer? Well, at least she had brought her grades up a lot from last year so she was no longer forced to attend the "help."

Dawn opened her locker with a pout, glancing at all the pictures she had put up on the side. Framed were images of her darling little Piplup, and other assorted Pokemon. Dawn let out a depressed sigh, missing the feeling of bringing her Piplup to school with her.

Prior to the current month, all student were allowed to bring one Pokemon to school with them to use during practice battles, or appeals practices, but due to a few students using their Pokemon to get up to no good, bringing Pokemon was indefinitely banned.

Dawn's eyes wandered a little lower down her locker, stopping over the images of her and her friends. Okay, she'd admit it, she was friends with the students who had gotten Pokemon banned from school.

Ash and Gary, two of her closest male friends, had used Ash's Pikachu to short-circuit all the electricity in the school, while Gary used his Umbreon to scare the students through the darkness. Not to mention the fact they announced that it was the two of them who had done it, all to get get some glory.

She began to trail her fingers lower down the images, stopping at her three best friends in the entire world; Misty, May, and Leaf. The four of them had been friends since she moved to town when she was the prime young age of eight. Now they were all fifteen, braving the halls of high school as sophomores!

Dawn turned her attention back to the actual contents of her locker. She was here early so she might as well actually get ready for class. She pulled two binders out of her locker, placing them in the messenger bag on her side. She had already brought the rest of her necessary books home with her the day before, so she was set for now.

She stepped back and closed her locker, unable to help but look proud at herself. I mean seriously, here she was, Dawn Hikari, completely ready before school even started. Dawn blinked, startled by a sudden realization.

"What am I supposed to do now?"

So lost in her shocked state, she didn't notice the purple haired boy who stopped and stared at her, before following after the teacher ahead of him.

"Pffft, how troublesome."

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold

Gently nestling us to the fold

Like silken thread it holds us fast

Bonds like this are meant to last.

7:40 AM

White let out a groan, swinging her arms annoyingly from side to side as she jogged to her locker. Black snickered from next her, having his locker placed just beside hers. They were in alphabetical order by last names after all. Touko and Touya were just too close to not place them together.

"Aww, whats wrong Whitey?"

The girl scowled lightly before grumbling, "I'll show you what's wrong you jerk..." A moment passed before she snapped, "And DON'T call me Whitey!"

Slipping a comforting arm around her shoulder, Black gave a soothing smile. "Jeeze Whitey, you need to relax. We still have five minutes before class, and our lockers are right next to it! And I personally love to call you Whitey."

"Yeah, but since you started calling me Whitey, most of the school has taken to it too. I mean, its one thing if you, Cheren, or Bianca call me that, but people I barely associate with..."

White pouted at him as she wretched her locker open, not bothering with lock. The stupid thing barely worked anyway. Black laughed lightly as he casually opened his own locker.

True to his word, their lockers were right beside their class, so they were able to enter without much problem. Cheren was already there, having rushed ahead of all of them when he realized how late it was getting. The only one missing was-

Crash! Bang! Slam!

-nevermind.

As per usual, Bianca had tripped her way into the classroom, just moments before the bell rang signalling the start of classes. After helping her up, the four best friends slid into their respective seats; Cheren in the front row, Black and White in the third row, sitting beside each other, and Bianca sitting in the second row, directly behind Cheren and in front of White.

"Okay class, settle down."

White groaned softly. "Looks like another boring day is beginning"

"Now today, we'll be receiving a brand new student."

Scratch that last thought, this sounded interesting. White leaned forward in her seat, hoping to catch glimpse of the new kid before he or she walked in.

"Okay, this student has been home schooled up until this point so make sure to help him feel welcomed. His name is..." The teacher's brows furrowed slightly. "This must be misprint or something..."

White raised a brow before sharing a glance with Black. The teacher had said the same thing about their names on the first day. After all, who would name their kids after colors?

"Excuse me, but I highly doubt that is a misprint. My name is in fact, just one simple letter."

The entire class, teacher included, all stared at the surprising new person. He was relatively tall, wearing a white collared shirt with a black shirt underneath and a pair of light tan pants. However, his most shocking aspect was his long, tea green hair that flowed onto his back.

The teacher shook himself out of his surprise before actually peaking to the student. "Well, now that you're here, why don't you go ahead and introduce yourself."

The boy gave a light smile before turning to the rest of the class. "My name is N Harmonia. Yes, my first name is just N, the single letter all on its own. No, I do not mind the name, nor did I have any say in it. Hopefully you do not find it too odd."

There was a beat of silence before...

"Oh! So it's like music right? N Harmonia, ya know, it sounds like enharmonic. That's pretty cool if you ask me!"

There was a resounding smack heard through the room as Black's palm met his forehead. White just tilted her head slightly, feeling a bit confused.

Okay, so White was never one to really think about what she said before she said it, but she couldn't have said anything bad seeing as the new kid- N, his name was N- was smiling brightly at her.

Dang, he had a pretty cute smile.

And though at times a thread may break

A new one forms in its wake

To bind us closer and keep us strong

In a special world, where we belong.

CHAPPY END!

Okay, so this chapter focused a little more on White's day then Dawn's. Yeah, I'm sorry, but since I got N's intro in, most of next chapter should be about Dawn meeting Paul and such :)

If you were wondering, I feel like Black and White's character designs looked kind of older than usual so I figured it would be appropriate to the B&W gang's grade one level higher. Therefore there would also be an audible split between their group (for now). They should integrate within a few chapters, or at least Dawn and White will do this soon.

And yes, the pokemon will make a reappearance at school.

I hoped you enjoyed this chapter, and remember; Reviews would be greatly appreciated XD
