Chapter 1

.:: Dawn's POV ::.

I frowned, sitting down next to Misty. We were waiting for my friend, Paul, and her friend, Ash. I was so worried, because this was our first double date... Well, I considered it a double date. It was most likely that I was the only one, since I don't think Paul really has feelings for me. And I shouldn't have feelings for him, since I'm the chosen one, the protector of Cresselia... Yes, that means I have magical powers. I can also sense a person's auror, and Paul gives off a pretty creepy one. But what can I say, it just make him that more mysterious...

"Dawn?"

I squeaked, looking up at Misty, "Um!.. Yeah?"

"Why are you so nervous? You're getting me worried..."

Oh yeah. Did I forget to mention Misty works with me? Me and her are Cresselia's apprentices, but I get more attention, since I'm the chosen one and all.

"No reason. No need to worry, right?" I laughed.

"What are you girls talking about?"

I turned around to see Ash and Paul walking up to us. "Oh, nothing. Girl talk."

Ash frowned. "Leave me out of it, please."

I giggled. "Actually! Misty was talking about how much she likes you, Ash!"

Misty's face went beat red, and I burst out laughing.

"That's a complete lie!" She snapped.

Paul sighed. "Enough already. When are we going to the resturant?"

Ash nodded. "I'm starving!"

"Fine, fun ruiners!" I frowned at Paul and Ash.

Paul simply shurgged. "So be it."

Misty sighed. "I'll lead the way.."

And with that, we followed.

.:: Paul's POV ::.

As we sat down in the resturant, I looked around. Why was it so bubbly here? And why would Ash agree to go somewhere so stupid? We're the protectors of Darkrai, dammit. We were supposed to be looking for the chosen one, so we could get her to spill the beans. Not waste time with some girls. He probably likes Carrot-top... And he probably thinks I like Dawn! Ugh. So stupid...

"May I take your order?" A small waitress asked, and I noticed she was looking straight at Ash. I glanced over at Carrot-top, and of course she looked like she was about to kill the waitress. Carrot top spoke first.

"I'll have a salad!" She snapped, glaring at the waitress.

Oh god. I think there's going to be a fight.

"Uh-huh... How about you, my kind sir?" She asked, smiling at Ash.

"Um..." He looked down at the menu. "...How about... A steak and cheese with mushrooms?"

"Okay! How about you two cuties?"

I frowned. "Don't ever call me cute."

The waitress giggled. "Oh come on! You're adorable."

I could hear Dawn giggling behind me.

"Shut up. I'll have... A tuna salad sandwhich"

"Okay cutie! -" She's asking for a punch in the face... "-And how about you?"

Dawn frowned. "Um... I'll have what Paul asked for. A tuna salad sandwhich." She nodded, as though plased with her answer.

"Okay! I'll be back." And with that she skipped away.

Ugh. This is going to be a long day...
