Chapter 2
Everytime
I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess
I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your
face, it's haunting me
I guess I need you baby
"so uh… why don't you look for the wood and ill carry it." Ash said. "what was that… couldn't you just say something suave? Be romantic? But noooo, you cant be romantic cause your stupid" said ash mentally cursing himself at his lack of style.
He had probably just made himself look like a moron in front of the girl he loved… he was not liking the way today was turning out, though he was quite pleased with the part where she jumped on him. Even someone as innocent as he was could enjoy a girl jumping on him.
"WWWWAAAAAAUUUUGGGHHHHH!!!!!"
"That was Dawn!!" he thought abandoning his mental scolding
"PIKA!"
He turned around to find that team rocket had grabbed pikachu with one of their extend-o-arm machine.
Suddenly he had a hilarious idea, he looked over at Dawn and winked, and she knew exactly what they would do, he'd told her about doing it before. Before team rocket had a chance to do their trademark opening Ash and Dawn had started it for them.
"prepare for trouble!" dawn began.
"and make it double!" continued ash
"to protect our world from devastation"
"unite all people within our nation"
Meanwhile, team rocket stood with their mouths agape in surprise.
"to denounce the evils of truth and love"
"to extend our Reach to the stars above"
"Dawn"
"Ash"
"team rocket blasts of at the speed of light,"
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
"Brock, that's right!" said Brock running up behind them. "why didn't you tell me they were here, you know I love making fun of those three as much as you do."
"It was a spur of the moment thing, sorry Brock" replied ash
"YOU TWERP!!!" shouted Jessi.
"THAT'S OUR MOTTO, STOP IMITATING US" fumed James.
At that Ash, Brock, and Dawn fell to the ground laughing.
"Hahaha-go-hahaha-staravia-hahahaha-use-hahaha-whirlwind-bwahahahahahahah!!!!" Ash shouted between bouts of laughter as he let the fierce bird out of its ball.
"stop laughing at us!!! why don't you ever take us seriously twerp?" shouted James.
"because of what's about to happen" replied ash
the fierce whirlwind threw team rocket into the air but before they could say anything, Brock, Dawn, and Ash all shouted at them "IT LOOKS LIKE TEAM ROCKET IS BLASTING OFF AGAIN!!!!!!" and continued their respective laughing fits as the trio of thieves disappeared over the horizon.
After they had recovered, Brock dismissed himself saying he had to go check the soup. Ash thought something was funny about that statement, but couldn't figure out what until after Brock had left, and Dawn remarked, "wait, how can there be soup if we don't have the firewood yet?"
Dawn started looking for firewood, while Ash attempted to figure out why Brock had left.
"oh well he thought, at least this gives me some more alone time with Dawn." He thought to himself, not at all guessing that that was actually the reason Brock had left. "maybe I can finally tell her… he thought as he walked to the edge of a cliff to look out over the country beyond.
"Ash, are you sure you should go out there?" Dawn asked with more than a tinge of worry in her voice.
"There is no worry," he shouted back, "come on over here, and look at this view,"
"the view I have is perfectly fine" she replied just loud enough to be heard. She looked at the black haired young man she had fallen so hard for, little did she know that he would fall just as hard for her. In a literal, and figurative sense.
He watched her step toward the edge of the cliff. Suddenly a Dugtrio appeared behind her and with a cry went back underground.
Suddenly the cliff they were on split from the rock and they were falling.
Dawn screamed and Ash reached for her.
He grabbed her and pulled her close to him in an embrace as they hit the canopy below. He grimaced as limb after limb hit him, slightly slowing their fall, but with each one took its toll on his back. Finally they slammed into the ground on a patch of very tall spongy grass which, is probably the only reason he survived.
Ash screamed in pain but did not let go of Dawn as darkness clouded his vision.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ASH!!! Cried Dawn as the cliff crumbled underneath them.
Suddenly she felt him grab her and press her against him. She would have been in heaven in different circumstances, in the embrace of the man she loved, but right now she was terrified thinking they were both about to die.
She watched as they smashed through branch after branch on the way down. All the while Ash just grimaced and took it. When they finally hit the ground though, he screamed in pain and went limp, arms still around her protectively.
"Ash!! Wake up Ash, what's wrong with you?" cried dawn, when he didn't open his eyes. Tears began to streak down her face as she looked down on his body, thinking him dead.
After she had gotten herself together, she reached into his pack and grabbed the pokeball that contained Staravia.
"staravia," she shouted, "go find Brock and pikachu, and bring them here"
as the bird disappeared over the cliff, she collapsed back over ash in tears.
