-Chapter 1-

Entry 78: Sat. June 16

Tomorrow is Barry's Birthday and I can't wait! He was always the energetic one between me, Lucas, and him and he always had that special spark about him that never seemed to fade. Those bright colored eyes, I love them. I honestly thought about being more than friends with him, but I didn't want to ruin our relationship, so I kept those feelings...

"DAAWWNN! GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOWW!"

Not again, I'm tired of moving around so much. Barry always knows when to distract me at times and pull me away.

"I'm coming Barry, give me a sec!"

I soo wanted to finish my entry for today, but this doofus won't ever let me rest. He irritates me, but i can never be mad at him when I love him soo much. Well, as a friend and nothing more, I think... I closed my journal and walked down the steps. I saw my mom walking toward the kitchen making a pot of tea.

"Dawn, it seems that Barry didn't want to wait any longer and ran on out. He said to go to Lake Verity."

I nodded and headed toward the door, but before I could keep going, I stopped myself from turning the door knob.

*I forgot I have a battle with Fantina and Vokner later.*

"Dawn are you okay?"

"..huh?"

I looked toward her and she had a slightly concerned face.

"Oh, no I was just thinking is all."

"Okay."

She says a little skeptically. I ran back upstairs and grabbed my backpack which had my team that I had used to win against the Sinnoh Champion. I ran downstairs for, hopefully, the last time and I stood in front of my house and brought out Togekiss.

"Togekiss can you fly me to Lake Verity?"

"Togie!"

I hopped on Togekiss and we flew high into the sky. I looked over onto the ground past Togekiss and I could see a beautiful lake of blue. She flew pretty fast, so I couldn't enjoy the scenery, but I can't complain since we lived so close to the lake.

"DAWN, YOUR LATE!"

We landed right next to Barry and Togekiss's wings had created a big gush of wind toward him.

*He's so cute when the wind brushes hi... uuuggghhh DAWN YOU HAVE TO STOP THINKING THAT WAY! He's my best friend not anything more! Plus he probably doesn't think of me that way...*

I mentally frowned and went back to looking at Barry.

"Sorry Barry, I was getting my Pokemon for a battle I have later."

"Oh, who against?"

"Fantina and Volkn..."

"WHO CARES ABOUT THAT DAWN, WE HAVE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DEAL WITH FIRST!"

"...er."

*Great, now I know I can count on you Barry to ignore me.*

I rolled my eyes, but he kept talking and moving around too much to even see it.

"Now... LET'S GO BEFORE WE'RE LATE! LUCAS AND CANDICE ARE WAITING FOR US IN HEARTHROME AND I PROMISED THEM WE'D BE THERE ON TIME!"

I gave Barry an 'are-you-serious' look and he, of course, ignored it. I hopped on Togekiss and looked toward Barry.

"How about we make this interesting..."

He gave me a look showing that he was intrigued.

"A race. Last one to Hearthrome city has buy the winner soda."

"Staraptor come on out! Ok. READY!..."

He hopped on Staraptor.

"Set!"

Our Pokemon then started to position their wings in a ready motion.

"GO!"

We were off with me in the lead.

"OH, NO YOU DON'T! STARAPTOR AGILITY!"

"Hey that's not playing fair!"

He zoomed right past me at amazing speed. I couldn't help but leave my mouth hanging open.

"YOU DIDN'T SAY IF THERE WERE RULES OR NOT! OH AND DAWN! LEAVE YOUR MOUTH OPEN ANY LONGER AND YOU'LL BE SURE TO CATCH SOMETHING IN THERE!"

He was getting farther and farther as he spoke. I gotta say he looked determined to win and let's just say I didn't want to lose either.

"You asked for it Barry!"

Even though Staraptor was fast, Togekiss was faster. But, Barry did say that I didn't mention any rules, in this race... I whispered in Togekiss's ear so that only she could here me. Seconds later, Barry and Staraptor had frozen to an abrupt stop.

"Hey, what's going on?! DAWN, WE CAN'T MOVE!"

I had Togekiss stop next to Staraptor while I turned my body to face him.

"Hahahahaha, sorry Barry, no rules... Other then that, how do you..."

I leaned closer into his face and I could see the light blush that appeared on his face.

"...like the..."

I leaned even closer our noses barely touching. I could also feel his breath on my mouth, but kept focusing on what I was telling him.

"..taste of..."

With every word I said, I got quieter and quieter. For my last word, I said it quietly in his ear, but still loud enough for him to hear me.

"...Psychic."

I pulled away from him and I could see slight confusion on his face with a light blush still delicately placed on his cheeks. I cocked my head to the side with a sly smile on my face. That was enough for Barry to get ticked off. I covered my ears preparing for the worst to come out of his mouth. So I patted Togekiss's head to keep going, but not so fast that I would fall off.

"DAWWWNNN, WHY DID YOU USE PSYCHIC ON ME?! IM GOING TO FINE YOU FOR THAT DAWWWNNN!"

I turned my body around and petted Togekiss's head again to go faster.

"Sorry Barry!"

I leaned down toward Togekiss and could feel some guilt.

"Togekiss release him."

"Togiiee!"

I turned my head to see Staraptor wobble a little, unbalanced, but quickly regained back to the way he was.

"DAWWWNNN!"

He was moving in fast and I could feel the fury coming from him. What it looked like from my view was a speeding bullet ready to pierce right through me at any moment.

"STARAPTOR USE AGILITY AND THIS TIME GO SUPER SUPER FAST!"

My eyes shrunk to a size impossible and I was praying that he wouldn't hurt me when we land.

"Togekiss, use Quick Attack to get ahead."

I closed my eyes tight not knowing what was going on in front of me. I felt a jolt come from Togekiss and suddenly my butt wasn't sitting on anything. I peeked my eyes open and all I could see the sky and I felt nothing around me. I wanted to scream, but it didn't come out. I wanted to call out for help, but that didn't come out either. Only one word came out at that moment.

"BARRY!"

I closed my eyes tightly not ready to know what was to come, when a hand tightly grasped my arm and pulled me hurriedly into their chest. My chest hurt from my heart beating so rapidly. I knew it was Barry because of Staraptor's cry. We landed and Barry hugged me tightly not wanting to let go.

"Dawn, don't do that ever again."

Barry felt the need to be protective and it honestly scared me. He's never this serious, unless it involves his own Pokemon. I pushed him back and I ended up falling backwards instead. It was so weird when Barry would change moods. One second he's super hyper and the next he's all serious. I looked up at Barry with my brightest smile while getting up hoping that he would understand that I was okay.

"Barry, stop worrying about me...I'm fin.."

"Dawn, listen to me."

He shut me up and I didn't even want to try to speak.

"You fell almost 30 feet from the air and... Just don't worry me again, okay."

His face was so stern and serious. I nodded feeling a little defeated.

*Wow, he's really mad. Oh my Arceus, Togekiss!*

"Togekiss! Barry we have to find her!"

He nodded and took a Pokeball out.

"Empoleon come on out and help us go look for Togekiss. Staraptor, you can be our eyes in the sky. Dawn we'll search together."

We all went our separate ways and began looking.

"Togekiss?!"

"Togekiss!"

"Empoleon!"

We heard Barry's Empoleon and were hoping he had found her. We ran toward his direction and could see her on the grass. Her wing looked as if it couldn't move and she was whimpering. I immediately ran up to her and started to pet her head. I couldn't help but tear up a little, knowing she got hurt.

"Hearthrome is nearby here and there's a Pokemon Center in town. Don't worry."

I stared at him and nodded. I returned Togekiss and he returned his Pokemon, and we started walking. We walked in silence and I felt horrible. My head was hurting from all that had just happened, which was too fast for me. I grabbed Barry's hand, but he didn't seem to mind and only squeezed my hand telling me everything's okay.

"Barry?"

"Hmm."

"Thank you so much."

"That's what friends are for."

I made sure to smile after that. I love Barry, more than he could imagine. I just wish he knew how I felt about him. But, it would ruin what we have now, especially if he doesn't love me back.

0o0o0o0o0

We walked into the Pokemon Center and hurriedly made our way to Nurse Joy's desk.

"Nurse Joy, can you please help us?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Well, my Togekiss was flying and she suddenly started to crash down. I looked at her wing and she couldn't move it at all."

I took her Pokeball out and handed her to Nurse Joy.

"I'll do everything I can, but it will take awhile so I'm going to need you to wait."

"Okay, thank you."

She walked away and I sighed finally relaxing a little knowing she's in good hands.

"OH CRAP!"

I turned toward Barry.

"WE FORGOT ABOUT LUCAS AND CANDICE!"

"Oh no, I'm so sorry Barry. Okay, we can probably still make it. Where was the place they wanted to meet, anyways?"

I looked around for someone by us so I can ask if they've seen the Snowpoint city gym leader and a boy walking together. When I turned around, I saw Lucas and Candice walk out of a store.

"Barry! They're right there!"

Lucas and Candice must have heard me, because as soon as I said that, they looked up and started walking toward us.
