Chatper One. ((A/N the ages are: Zoey, Paul, Ash, Misty, Kenny: 17. Dawn: 16 1/2)
Three girls walked down the street, eager to meet some other friends of theirs. The first girl is Dawn Jennes. She was very beautiful. Her navy blue hair lay loosely around her shoulders. Her eyes matched her hair. She wore a black and pink dress, the skirk part was pink and the tank top torso was black, black knee-high socks, pink boots, a pink scarf, and a white and pink toboggan. The second girl was Misty Waterflower. Her orange hair was pulled into a high ponytail on the side of her head. Her eyes were the same color as Dawn's, but a shade lighter. She wore a yellow tank top, red suspender straps that attached to jean shorts, and yellow sneakers. The last girl was Zoey Bruno, the quietest of the three, but also the smartest. Her chocolate eyes stood out compared to her bright scarlet hair. An orange vest was on a burgundy quater-sleeve shirt. She also wore jeans that ended a little below her knees and tan hiker boots. They soon came to the park. Zoey looked around excitedly. "Your boyfriend isn't here yet, Zoey." Dawn teased. "He isn't my boyfriend..." Zoey's voice trailed off as her cheeks grew redder and redder with every word. "Hey! There's Ash and Kenny!" Misty said, pointing to two figures coming into view. The first was a boy in a short sleeve zipper black shirt with a yellow strip running horizantally across. He wore blue jeans and black sneakers. A black and red hat was on top of black hair that was sticking out in every imaginable direction. He was Ash Ketchum. The second of them was wearing a green and white long sleeve shirt, khaki pants, and green sneakers. His chestnut bangs zigzagged across his face. He was Kenny Taylor. "Hi, girls." Kenny said. "Hi, Kenny." Misty and Dawn said in a fake sweet voice. "What about me?" Ash asked. "No one could forget about you, Ketchum." Misty said. For some reason, she's been calling him by his last name instead of his first. "Nice to see you, too, Waterflower"
And he'd been doing the same to her. "Uhm, is Paul coming?" Zoey asked. "Why don't you turn around"
Someone whispered into her ear. Zoey jumped and smiled. She turned around. There he was. His name was Paul Samuels. Purple bangs fell into his eyes. The rest of it was surrounding his face and ended a little above his shoulders. He wore a blue and black sweat shirt, black denim jeans, and black sneakers.
Zoey whacked him. "Don't scare me like that!" She scolded. "Maybe..." Paul answered. Dawn and Misty rolled their eyes. "So what did you guys wanna tell us?" Misty asked. "Well, we are going away for awhile." Ash said. "For how long?" Dawn said. "About a week or two." Kenny answered. "Where are you going?" Zoey questioned. "We're taking our bikes and just riding 'cross country." Paul said. "You are going on your... motorcycles?" Misty said. When Ash, Kenny and Paul shook their heads yes, Misty grabbed Zoey and Dawn's arms and led them away. "Excuse moi." She said. "What are you doing?!" Dawn yelled. "Sh! Listen, they do know that we've got bikes too. Right?" Misty said. "Yeah, so what?" Zoey responded. "Well, what if we ask them if we could go with them? I mean, we've always wanted to go 'cross country! Now is our chance!" Misty explained excitedly. Zoey looked at Paul. He smiled at her. She smiled back. "I don't know. I think they just want have some guy time. Ya know, away from girls. They do spend most of their time with us." Zoey said. "Come on, Zoey! Have some excitement in your life!
It'll be fun!" Dawn encouraged. "Don't say it was my idea when they say no." Zoey said as Misty and Dawn ran back over to the guys. Zoey sighed and muttered, "Here we go." She counted down in her mind,
"5...4...3...2...1..." As soon as she thought, "1", she heard Dawn say, "But why?" She made the last word longer than it usually was. "I told 'em. But do they listen? Nope. Never listen to me." She muttered again.
"Sorry, DeeDee, but this is a guy's thing." Kenny said. Paul was looking at Kenny and Ash like they were crazy. "Yeah, plus girls would be too much trouble." Ash added. "Too much... You should talk Ketchum"
Misty yelled. She pulled out her mallet and got ready to smack him. "Misty, put it down. They said no. Live with it." Zoey said. Misty, hesitantly did what she said. Dawn sweat-dropped. "Figures. She listens to you. Yet I can't get her up in the mornings..." She said. "Another thing." Ash muttered. "What was that Ash Ketchum?!" Misty asked/yelled. "Nothing!" Ash answered. "What about you, Paul? What's your reason?" Zoey asked. "Honestly, I think it'd be fun. But I guess I'm out numbered. Sorry." Paul answered. Ash and Kenny returned the crazy look at him. "You only said that because Zoey might come"
Ash accused. Zoey and Paul blushed. "Did not." "Did too." "Did not." "Did too!" Then, Pikachu, who had been following Ash around the whole time, shocked them and they fell over anime style. "Thanks Pikachu.
I think they'd rather your thunder instead of my mallet." Misty chuckled as she put her mallet away. "Oh yeah." Ash said as he and Paul stood up. After that, all 6 of them went out to dinner. Then, they all went home. The next day, Zoey was still asleep in bed when Misty and Dawn walked into her room and ripped the blanket off of her. She was a heavy sleeper. So Misty opened the shades and Dawn turned the lights on. Zoey groaned. "Turn 'em off or else." She threw a pillow at Dawn. Then one at Misty. Then she buried her head in her final pillow. "No. You get up. We are going on that trip if its the last thing we do"
Dawn said. "We're what?!" Zoey yelled sitting up.
