Dawn: And guess what!

Paul: I really don't want to kno-

Dawn: I HAVE MY OWN LION! NAMED SHU!

Drew: Hey! Thats Japanese for my name!

Wynter: DREW! DAWN! PAUL! Get back into the story!


Dawn pulled out a purple ragged book with the words "Diary" stuck on the front, she lay on her bed and got out a neon pink pencil and started to write:

Dear Diary,
We got news about three new boys coming - we have to teach them how to look after the lions. This will be hard, Shu will not like this. We found another hyena trying to get in the house. NOT FUN! I'm more used to it now. We are getting some money from some charity for endangered African animals. We are gonna ask the new people what we should use it on. Like a test, muahah! They better be good guessers...

She added extra full-stops for emphasis and closed her book - shoving it under her mattress to hide until she heard her name being called.

"DAWN!"

Dawn cringed, she knew exactly who was calling her. She ran downstairs and looked at the scared May. "Whats up Maybelle?" Dawn stuck her tongue out, watching her friends face turn peach to red.

"Don't call me that!" She shrieked, about to tackle Dawn until she remembered what she needed her for. "Oh yeah, can you help me with my hair? I don't want to look like a mess for the new boys coming." May shoved her brush in her direction.

"You were like this when Ash came, totally head over heels for him but hes with Misty! SOOOO There is no point at all!" Dawn whined, she hated to brush Mays hair as she complained. EVERY. TIME.

"Come on! There is a selection this time..." May smiled hopefully, Dawn grumbled something under her breath and took the brush forcefully.

"I have to look after Shu so I won't have time for boys." Dawn pulled a face, even know May couldn't see Dawn as she was behind her she could sense it.

"Shut up will you." May snorted, hitting her friends arm as she brushed her hair.

"Hey guys!" Misty appeared, arms spread as she had a blush spread across her face.

"You been making out with Ash again? Weren't you meant to be feeding the monkeys?" May teased, winking suggestively, Misty gasped and covered her mouth, her blush growing by the second. "Shut up!" She narrowed her eyes, hand's on hips now.

"Guys! When are they coming? I take it Ash will be to busy eating to meet them right?" Dawn finished Mays hair quite quickly and threw the brush on the floor, May bending to get it.

"Right about now..." Misty mumbled, checking her leather banded watch - ingoring the comment about Ash.

"Then lets gooooo!" May shrieked again, dragging her two best friends outside to the sandy terrain.


A brown rusty jeep pulled up near the house, Mays father stepping out of the car and heading to the trunk to get the new boys bags, Ash walked out with a jar of nutella and stood next to Misty protectively.

"Hey Ash." Misty kissed his cheek, turning her head back to the three boys now getting out of the jeep.

"Ladies." One of the teenagers winked, his chestnut hair blowing slightly in the wind, hearts appeared in Mays eyes, next was a green haired one followed closely by a purple-haired one.

"I'm Gary." He smirked, kissing Dawns hand who simply blushed. May ticked this one off her list.

"Hi! I'm May, this is Dawn and Misty!" May smiled, looking at the green haired boy who flicked his hair and smirked.

"Hey! You forgetting about someone?" Ash shouted out, slinging his arm around Misty. May rolled her eyes - Misty growled secretly to herself.

"This is Ash. Hes now not the only male in the house... Sorry Norman." Misty winced as Mays dad came back and walked into the house.

"Show the boys where their rooms are and then show 'em around." Normal growled and walked outback.

"Whats up with him? He was giving us a lecture in the jeep." The green haired boy smirked, May narrowed her eyes.

"How dare you! That is my dad you are talking about!" May growled, hands on hips.

"Whatever June. I'm Drew." He flicked his hair again.

"Its MAY!" May shouted.

"Umm... Whats your name?" Dawn asked the purple headed one to avoid conflict.

"Paul." He simply said, Dawn rolled her eyes.

'Hes enthusiastic' she thought.

"Lets show you your rooms!" Dawn said cheerfully, to the distaste of Paul.


"Okay... Right, Norman wrote them up on here." Mays finger traced along the paper looking for the guys rooms. "Got it! Paul your room is next to Dawns, Gary yours is next to Mistys and Drews is outside!" May smiled, turning back to her friends.

Drew pushed May and rolled his eyes, "Hey you blind or something? My room is next to yours... great." He flicked his hair again.

"Just go shove your bags in your room. We'll take you to the rooms." Misty rushed, dragging Gary to his room. Ash narrowed his eyes, May complained as Drew followed her, Ash left aswell to the kitchen leaving Dawn and Paul.

"Lets go..." Dawn mumbled, tripping on the leg of the coffee table and falling into Pauls arms.

"Get up troublesome. I don't have time for this." He growled, Dawn shot up,

"The name is Dawn! D-A-W-N! DAWN!" She growled, taking him to his room.


"And here is your room!" Misty smiled, opening the wooden door to the biggest bedroom in the house. it had drapes and everything.

"I could get used to this Misty." He smirked, Gary throwing his suitcase under his bed to be unpacked later. "Anyway, about Dawn..." Gary watched Mistys expression drop.

"Shes a difficult one. You'd better learn to handle her." Misty warned, waiting for him outside.


"Okay! Now we are all reunited we can show you around." Dawn squealed making Paul grunt in annoyance, Dawn smiled and raised her head.

"I'll take Paul!" Dawn volunteered, sticking her tongue out to the now even more annoyed Paul.

"Gary! Lets go!" Misty chimed, ready to tell him more about Dawn. Ash pulled another face, "...Ash?!" May looked at him for help.

He shrugged and went to follow Misty and Gary.

"Lets go December..." Drew groaned, leaning against the bannister of the stairs.

"Its May!"


"Shu! Shuuu..." Dawn called out for her 'pet'. Paul rolled his eyes,

'Let me guess, a monkey or an ant? probably the latter.' Paul thought, following Dawn as she closed the gate to the electric fence.

A blonde blur was saw before something jumped up at Dawn and knocked her down, Pauls first instinct was to run to her side but she started to laugh.

"Shu! Stop it! Stop it!" She laughed, pushing the large lion off of her. "This is Shu! Shu... DON'T ATTACK!" Dawn warned after seeing Shu lick his lips.

"Is that Japanese?" Paul rolled his eyes, staring at the large animal. Hiding his fright of it.

"Yeah, for Drew. Its a coinky-dink!" Dawn put her arm around the lion.

"Coinky-dink?" Paul spat, venom dripping from his voice.

"Coincidence! Silly." She punched his shoulder.

"Don't touch me troublesome girl." Paul growled, "Is this it?" He looked it up and down.

"Nooo... We need to feed him. I kind of forgot about Shu-Shu!" Dawn praised him a few times while scratching his chin.

"Pathetic." Paul muttered, Dawn looked at him with slight anger.


Misty threw Gary a gun, Gary was stunned.

"What the hell?!" He yelled startled, Misty raised her eyebrow. "Don't you want to help me collect some Hyenas which are in some other animals den?" Misty raised her voice, Gary looked at the gun once more and recognized it was a tranqulizer. "Whoops.." He muttered.

Ash followed slowly, staring at the two. His stomach churned as he thought about that flirt flirting with his girl! He was flirting with

Dawn before aswell! Could this guy not keep his hands to himself?


"Its May! For the 54th time today!" May screeched, tracking through the mud. "ANYWAY! This is the barn! This is where we keep the food and medicence. Don't touch it alright, you could die and we wouldn't be able to see it. I remember when Dawn did it, oh man! She almost died! She had foam from her mouth and everything!" May snorted.

Drew raised his eyebrows. "Nearly died? and your laughing about this why?" He flicked his hair, May stared at the annoying piece of hair, wishing she could chop it off - better yet shave off all his hair.

"Shut up, it wasn't funny at the time but even she laughs about it now. And we have this joke about it everytime she goes to the barn" May began to snort in laughter again.

"I thought girls were meant to be gentile and nice? and not so piggish.." Drew added the last four words quieter though May still heard it.

"EXCUSE ME?!" May screamed, tackling Drew to the ground.


All four girls met later in the longue.

"Paul is the worst! Hes so ... soo... MEAN! Even to Shu! The nerve of him..." Dawn whined, Misty stared at her.

"You were the one who volunteered to take him!" Misty nudged her friend and smiled. Her friend stared at her with disgust. "Never again!" She whined.

"Drew is even worse! His hair flick thing is soooo annoying! So cocky and everything! I swear..." May began to trail off.

Misty just shrugged. "Gary is alright. He was asking tons of questions about Dawn... favourite flower, colour... And Ash was following us. Is he that dense?" Misty laughed.

Dawn blushed a deep scarlet. "Yeah right!" She nudged her friend harshly. "I'm going to bed. Cyaoi!" Dawn smiled and stood up, heading up the creaky stairs in her neon pink slippers.

She passed Pauls room which she heard no noise from. She put her ear to the door and heard very quiet music. Probably from a headset. She went to her own room and looked around for her diary which she hid before. She took it out and started to write.

Dear Diary,
The new boys are a pain! I had to show my new next door roomy around. TORTURE! Ones not that bad... I think. His name is Gary and apparently he was asking Misty about me! Heres a description of them all:
Paul (a.k.a big stupid meany): Mean, stupid, harsh, quiet, mysterious, his eyes are pretty amazing.. FOR A MEANY!
Drew (a.k.a Lettuce according to May): This is what I heard from May atleast... full of himself, always flicks his hair, calls May different months.
Gary (a.k.a TOTALLY dreamy!): Hot, amazing, kind, polite, boyfriend material!
Anyway, CYAOI!

Dawn closed her diary, hiding it under her bed once again. She went to her bathroom and looked in the mirror. "Is that a spot? ... Phew!" Dawn sighed wiping away the crumb that she thought was a spot.

She got changed into her long-sleeved button up pyjama top and her matching pyjama shorts.

"One sec!" Dawn called as she heard someone knocking on her door, she went over to it and opened it, kicking off her slippers.

(Dawns POV)

"Hey Dawn." Gary greeted. I blushed and waved.

"Hey Gary..." I smiled, welcoming him in. "You need anything?" I asked shyly,

'Dawn! SNAP OUT OF IT!' I thought, staring into his dark eyes.

"Just wanted to talk." He sat on the end of my bed. I walked over to him and smiled, sitting next to him.

His hand slowly started to edge closer to mine. "Soo... You like it here so far?" I asked, noticing this.

"Yeah, just not the place though." He flirted, it took me a second to catch on as I blushed scarlet. "Gary!" I punched his arm gently.

"You got some hit, I heard you got a lion?" He laughed, taking my hand and putting it by my side.

"Yeah... Shu." I murmured.

"Japanese for Drew, right?" He smirked, I nodded.

"Kiss me if I'm wrong but does it enjoy eating human hair?" He smirked once again, it was bigger.

I shook my head in confusion, then catching on again. I blushed again.

"So I'm wrong, right?" He chuckled, I punched his arm but this time he grabbed by arm and pinned me on the bed. I blushed a much more deeper. This was so embarrassing!

"Umm G-Gary I'm only 17!" I mumbled, he looked at me confused and shook his head.

"No-no-no!" He laughed, I stared at him and smiled about to say something but he kissed me. Full on, not even waiting to explore my mouth with his tongue. It was rough but nice. Not as great as I expected my first kiss to be but it was something none-the-less.

He sat up and I sat up after him. "I think you should leave..." I mumbled, standing up and grabbing his wrist throwing him out practically.

I slammed the door closed behind him.

(Garys POV)

'What just happened? Did she just kick me out?! ME? GARY? I'll work on her...' I thought, I went over to Pauls room and walked in. I saw him on his bed listening to his music. I waved abit making him sit up.

"Why are you in my room." He said, it wasn't like a question at all.

"Just seeing what you up to." I said. Paul rolled his eyes.

"She kicked you out. I heard her you know. Thin walls." Paul growled. Still mad I was in his room.

"Chillax dude. Probably cause I was her first kiss. I know these things." I chuckled, sitting on a stool which was in the room.

"Get. out. of. my. room." Paul snarled. Standing up his fist clenched. I stood up and walked out, hands in the air, Paul was scary when he wanted to be.

I went back downstairs, hopefully someone would be up. No one but Misty was awake, "Hey Mist." I waved, she looked up and continued to read her book.

"I don't need a nickname thanks." She mumbled, to busy with her book then to talk to me.

"I kissed Dawn." I shrugged, sitting back, suddenly Misty was infront of me.

"YOU WHAT!?" She screamed almost, I clamped my hand on her mouth.

"I kissed here," I smirked, Mistys face paled

"Great going. That wasn't early at all!" She snarled, I stood up, startled.

(Mistys POV)

He kissed Dawn, great. Lets see Dawn get up tomorrow. Probably spend the day in the Lion cage. (Her window is right above it and she can jump down onto the roof of the sleeping area)

I felt like slapping him, hard. "I told you she didn't like bold movements! Did you even listen?" He shook his head, I sighed in frustration. "We'll talk about this in the morning!" I snapped, picking up my book and going up to my room. We'll just have to see what Dawn will be like...
