She shivered and wrapped her blue coat around her tighter. I hope we find him soon, she thought, So that he'll wrap his arms around me, just like that time we got lost in the woods during Christmas break… Wait, what? No, Curf, don't think those thoughts! You're dating Jake, not Ash, Jake! Ash is only my BFF, nothing more, nothing less… Right? No, he's only my BFF! That's FINAL!

The girl next to her loosened her green coat. Maybe, if I stay this cold, Brock'll put his arms around me, like he does with all those other girls… Which reminds me, I still need to kill all of them… Hm… Wonder if I can kill them all with a potato…

The only boy of the group was wrapped in his own thoughts, like he was in his black coat. I hope Dawn is nice and chilly, 'cause the Trojan Man is coming to warm you up! …I need some new metaphors… That one was just plain crappy… Does she still like Kenny? If she does, I swear to heck, I am going to beat him with Turner's Venasaur Plush Toy to the DEATH!

"Oh, come on Dawn, stop it! That hurts!"

"What? Mine? Yours is the one that hurts!"

"Alright, fine, I'll take it out!"

"WHAT DID HE JUST SAY?"

Turner smiled at her friends. They were so jealous at what their best friend had just said, thinking pervertedly.

"My turn, Dawn," They heard Brock say.

"Well, there goes Nurse Joy as the #1 person on my hit list…"

At the campsite, Ash suddenly turned around. "Guys, there's someone here."

The other two looked at him. "What do you mean?"

"I heard some people… Wait a sec… TURNER! TROY! CURFY!"

"Hi, Ash!"

"'Sup, Ashy-Boy!"

"Troy!"

"Hello, Ketchup Man!"

"TURNER IMIN YOU'D BETTER TAKE THAT BACK OR ELSE I'M CALLING YOU IMINIZER!"

The girl with orange hair and glasses covering purple eyes walked out of the bushes. "I don't take it back."

"…Hey, Iminizer."

"DIE!"

Turner lunged for Ash, but Curfy, who had brown hair and blue eyes, along with freckles, ran out and grabbed her.

"You do that, and I'm going to make you die."

"…Okay…"

Troy followed the two girls out tentatively. He had short, light brown hair and brown eyes. Once he saw Dawn, he breathed a sigh of relief. She was fully clothed.

"So Ash," Curfy began, "What the heck were you guys doing a minute ago?"

Ash smiled. "We were trying to force playing cards into each other's hats. I think I know what you guys were thinking we were doing. I have one thing to say to you: You are perverts."

Curfy blushed. "Well, the way you guys worded it made it sound like that!"

Ash thought for a moment, and then his face turned beet red. "Oh, my God, you're right…"

"Great going, Lightning Bolt!" Turner exclaimed as she smacked Troy on the back of the head.

"Hey!"

"Don't make me get out Tromby when we get home."

"Tromby?" Dawn asked.

"Her trombone," Ash simply stated.

"She blasts it in other people's ears for fun," Curfy continued. A shiver ran up her back to Ash's confusion.

"Are you seriously that scared of Tromby?"

"No, I'm just really cold!"

Smiling, he pulled her into a hug. She became very surprised that she wasn't sweating at all of the heat she was in now. Not only was Ash nice and warm, but her blush made almost everything twice as warm. Everything but her toes. But they were getting there.

Turner grinned at the sight of the hug. They were both majorly red. She turned to Troy.

"Why don't you ever do that kind of thing for me?"

"Do what?"

SMACK.

Brock was suddenly next to Turner and put his arm around her. (A/N: I knew Brock would do this someday, so I made it now. Turner's been wishing for it. XD)

"Since you seem cold. Why isn't your coat zipped up?"

"OH MY GAWD AWESOME I'M IN A HUG WITH THE GUY I'VE LOVED SINCE LIKE FOREVER! AWESOME!"

Feeling the love in the air, Troy stepped over to Dawn and pulled her into a hug.

"…What are you doing?"

"Aren't you cold?"

"No, my coat is very well insulated, thank you."

"Oh."

"…You can let go, now."

"Oh, right."

He quickly let go. Aw, man, I almost had her.

A/N: Crappy ending to Ch. 1, I know. I honestly want to get onto the next chapter, however. ;) Oh, and Turner counts an arm around her as a hug. Just so you know.

Turner: TROY YOU'RE DEAD!

Me: *sighs* Troy, what'd you do?

Troy: I didn't do anything! I just squashed this flat, many-legged bug in the bathtub!

Ash: TROY YOU IDIOT, THAT WAS A CENTIPEDE! TURNER'S GONNA KILL YOU!

Troy: Aw, crap…

Turner: *pulls out giant Aron plushie and starts hitting Troy over the head with it* DIE!
