Chapter - 2 (part-2)

Amusement to the Go!

"I still think that we all should sit at home and have a group study rather than this excursion," Dawn said, narrowing her eyes. She was wearing a causal red button-up shirt, the top two buttons were open, with light blue jeans and brown ankle boots. She had a watch on her right wrist and her hair was tied up in a ponytail. Since it was sunny outside, she wore a red Nike visor cap.

Gary groaned, "Damn… don't you think about anything else but books?!"

"Well, yeah I do," she replied, casually.

He cocked an eyebrow at that, asking, "Really? What's that?"

She responded, "I think about my jobs… school duty… uh… then, about you all guys, and sometimes about Ash."

Ash asked, emphatically, "Sometimes?" And then muttered, "I think about you all the time, though."

"What was that, Ashy-boy?" Gary teased.

"Just cut it out with that name," he replied plainly, looking outside the window with an annoyed look on his face.

Leaf said, "Poor Ash got hurt." She shook her head with mock sympathy.

Dawn cocked her head to the side cutely. "Wait… you mean, what I just said made Ash disappointed?" she said innocently.

"Yup!" Leaf nodded.

"No!" Ash exclaimed. "It didn't," he muttered with half-lidded eyes, still looking at them.

"C'mon, Ash, you won't die if you admit the truth!" Drew said, looking at him with narrowed eyes through the rear-view mirror.

The blunette said, with a pure, innocent look, "Ash, I'm sorry if I offended you in any way." She placed a hand on his shoulder.

Ash looked at her and then slapped a hand on his eyes. "Why the heck are you so cute?!" Then, he took her hand, intertwining his fingers with hers and rested his head on her shoulder. "It's all good. No need to worry!" He grinned.

Dawn looked at him, confused but smiled at his childish behavior. "Alright."

"Ahem." Drew cleared his throat, annoyed. "Maintain distance, will you?" He glared at Ash through the mirror, above his head.

Ash sighed. "Sorry, but not happening."

The chartreuse-haired boy's eyebrow twitched as he asked, through his gritted teeth, "Why not?"

"Because she's my girlfriend and I'm her boyfriend," he replied, matter-of-factly.

"You-"

He was interrupted by May. "C'mon, Drew. Don't be so overprotective. You wouldn't want anyone to stop you from romancing with your girlfriend, would you? So, chillax," she said with a huge smile.

"Right! And besides, if I start being the same like you for May, then you'd be just angry as me," he retorted.

"Ha! As if I'd allow you to be! And besides, I'm elder than ya, so you have no right for that," May stated with a dirty look on her face.

Ash scoffed, "Yeah, just two months elder."

"Whatever, but two months has sixty days!" she countered.

"So, what? It isn't like you look older than me, anyway."

"Ash Ketchum! I'm gonna-"

"Chillax, guys!" Leaf intervened. "We're on a picnic, so don't argue, at least today!" Then, she muttered, "Though, I canunderstand that Ash is really annoying."

"What was that?!" the raven-haired boy asked with narrowed eyes.

"See, here he goes again. Picking a fight, every chance he gets," Leaf said, shaking her head.

"You're such a-"

"Ash! Leaf! Will ya both keep quiet?! I'm tryin' to drive here!" Drew said, extremely irritated. They just turned away their heads.

"Since when did the prez become so strict, huh? Huh?" Gary teased, with eyes full of mischief.

"Grr, shut up," he grumbled.

Dawn said, "I think you all should really stop talking so loudly in the car because it's disturbing Drew. And since he's driving, his concentration should be on the road rather than your voices."

Drew muttered, "Is there anyone else beside her who's smart?"

"There you go, lecturing us," Gary said, sighing.

"Actually, she does have a point," Ash defended.

"Ooh, Ash's defending his girlfriend!" Leaf teased.

"Will you-"

"If you guys speak one more word then, I swear I'm gonna make you all cancel this trip and study," Dawn warned, irritated.

"What? Are you serious?!" Gary exclaimed.

She glared at him with a stern expression, saying, "I'm dead serious." Looking at her expression, everyone in the car shut their mouths.

"This pair of brother and sister are just the same, threatening people whenever they want something," Ash muttered.

Dawn raised an eyebrow, "Did you say something?"

"Nope, absolutely nothing!" He waved his hands in denial.

Just then, a huge gate appeared right before their eyes. Drew entered the car through the gate, parking in one of the slots. There were a large number of cars in the parking area, implying that there was going to be a huge crowd inside the park.

"Here we are! At the Sinnoh Amusement Park!" Leaf exclaimed as she got down the car. "Damn, it's been so long since I last came!" She was wearing an expression full of excitement.

She was wearing a casual baby pink top, which reached just below her mid-thigh, and black jeans. She had on black flip-flops and a white jacket on top of her shirt. Her hair was open, and she was wearing a black cap. She had put on a simple chain around her neck, and it had a water droplet pendant on it.

Gary quickly grabbed her hand as he said, "Stupid, we'd come here last year, too. I brought you here on your birthday, remember?"

He was wearing a yellow sleeveless t-shirt with a short sleeved white shirt on it and blue three-fourths pants. He had on a chain around his neck, which was similar to Leaf's. He had put on white sneakers.

"...Yeah, but not with a group of friends! It was just the two of us!" she replied, shrugging.

"You mean, you didn't enjoy spending your time alone with me?"

Her eyes widened. "No! I didn't day that! I meant-"

"Don't sweat it. I was just kidding," he interrupted her, with a grin on his face, and started dragging her to the gate. Leaf was wearing an expression of the "what the hell" type as she walked along with him.

Ash laughed. "Sometimes, I don't understand those two. I mean, at times, Gary dominates her, and sometimes, Leaf! Those two are weird."

He was wearing a three-fourths sleeve dark blue v-neck tee with light blue jeans and grey sneakers. He had a digital watch on his right wrist and a white cap with an 'A' over his messy raven-hair.

May nodded. "I think that goes for you two, as well!" she said, following the couple, along with Ash and the others.

Her dress was a casual sleeveless white t-shirt with red shorts, which reached her mid-thigh. Her figure was perfectly outlined by her outfit. Her hair was tied in two pigtails as usual, with a red bandana. She wore white sports shoe with red ankle socks.

He retorted, "You both are weird, too!"

"Don't start arguing, again," Dawn said, narrowing her eyes at them.

Drew nodded. "Yeah, let's enjoy rather than fighting."

He was wearing a normal, full-sleeved, black tee with some loose gray pants and white sneakers. His tee was folded to a have three-fourths sleeves. He had a watch and chained loose bracelets on his left wrist.

They all entered into park, where the guys paid the amount and got them tickets for entry. "I wanna enjoy the three main rides, today!" Ash exclaimed. "The roller coaster, haunted house, and the one and only, ferris wheel!" He grinned, thinking how he could romance with Dawn in those places, and how he could act as a knight in shining armor when she'll be scared.

"I'm with ya, dude!" Gary smirked as he wrapped an arm around Ash's shoulder. "I can't wait to see Leaf's scared expression!"

Then, Ash sighed. "But, I'm hundred and one percent sure that Dawn isn't scared of horror and ghosts."

"It's alright, just hold her hand till the end of the visit!" He winked.

"Hey, we were supposed to meet up with Paul and Misty, right?" May wondered.

Leaf nodded. "Yeah."

"Guys!" They all turned around to look at an orange-haired girl. She was dressed in simple black jeans shorts, which reached above her mid-thigh, and a sleeveless red t-shirt. She had put on a pair of white sneakers.

"Misty! And Paul, too!" May exclaimed, as a bright smile crept on her face.

"Heya! We had been here for a half hour or so!" she responded.

The purple-haired guy next to her nodded. "Yeah, we have been waiting for you guys." He was wearing a blue and white checkered button-up shirt, the sleeves folded until his elbows, and normal black jeans with blue sneakers.

Ash jumped next to Paul. "Dude, how was your trip to Johto? Had fun?"

Before he could reply, Misty chimed in, "Yup, more than anything!"

Just then, Gary wrapped an arm around the onix-eyed guy's shoulder before smirking. "Did have that kind of fun? Living in a hotel, all by yourself! Hm?" he suggested as he wiggled his eyebrows.

Ash joined in as he wrapped an arm around Paul's shoulder, along with Gary. "Yeah, you can tell us, y'know? We're best friends, after all!"

Paul's vein popped out as he jabbed both of them in their stomach. "Shut up, assholes."

"Ow!" The two winced as they moved away from him. "That hurts!"

Drew laughed at the two. "Ha, good thing that I didn't join you two!"

Misty was blushing, after understanding what they were trying to imply. "Y-you idiots!" she yelled as she hit both of their heads.

"Damn, why are you both so violent?!" Gary said through his gritted teeth.

"You both do deserve that!" Leaf said, walking ahead of those two.

Gary muttered, "And here, I thought you were my girlfriend."

"I heard that!" she yelled back, and then she continued, "If I love you, it doesn't mean that I always have to be on your side!" She stuck out her tongue at him, retorting.

He glared at her. "Traitor."

Drew rested his elbow on his shoulder and said, "These are the side-effects of having girlfriends."

Ash smirked. "Actually, that goes just for you two," he said as he wrapped an arm around Dawn's shoulder.

The blunette brushed of his hand, saying, "I didn't allow you this much of freedom to touch me in a public place." She walked ahead of him, leaving him dumbfounded.

"Wha?" His jaw dropped as he stared at her back.

The chartreuse-haired boy snickered. "Oh, looks like you are in an even worse condition than us!"

Gary nodded as he laughed. "Pal, you're most welcome to join us!"

Ash glared at those two. "Shut up! Let's go!" With that, he walked ahead of those two, joining Paul on his way.

"Haha, he is a total douchebag!" The brunette smirked.

"So, are you," Drew replied nonchalantly as he walked away.

"As if you aren't!"

"So, are all of you ready to enter the spooky house?!" Drew yelled. The eight of them were standing in front of the ghost house. It was a huge wooden door, with a board saying "Spooky house" above it, in a very creepy font. And the walls next to it were painted in a deep fray colour with streaks of so-called blood flowing across it. Also, it was covered in a few bloody handprints, making it more ghostly.

"Yeah!" the boys and Misty cheered.

"You can hold onto my hand, if you're scared." The spiky-haired brunette winked at Leaf. She nodded. She wasn't really scared of anything, but spooky things just made her shiver. Even though she knew all these haunted house and all were fake, still… it just gave her the creeps.

Gary saw her sigh and decided to give her a charming smile. "Don't worry, I'll be right there with you." Even if he was the biggest jerk in the world, he was still a tough guy and wasn't scared of anything like ghosts and stuff. Also, he was a reliable guy, that was for sure. That was the exact reason why she had fallen for him.

Ash turned to Dawn and said, "You too, I won't mind."

She stared at him blankly. "I'm not so sure about that." She just walked ahead of him, entering into the dense room.

He frowned. "Damn, why is she like that?! All the girls are so scared of haunted houses, so why is she not? Why is she so different from other girls?" he muttered. "But then, that's exactly why I love her." He sighed, following her into the building.

As soon as they entered, a skeleton fell right before them, which caused May and Leaf to scream. "Damn, that startled us!" Leaf exclaimed as she held onto May, who nodded.

Ash and Gary, who had watched them getting scared, started laughing at those two. "Haha, you are afraid of that lame skeleton?!" Ash snickered. "Damn, I knew coming here would be fun!"

May glared at him. "Shut up, we weren't scared. We were just startled by the sudden movement."

"Yeah, sure..."

It was quite dark with just red and green lights at some places, to add up the effect. As they continued to walk, a pumpkin face with lights in it appeared before them, making a creepy laughing sound.

Leaf shut her eyes tightly as she grabbed onto Dawn's arm, and May onto Drew. Gary was expecting his girlfriend to grab onto him, but, unfortunately, it didn't happen, to which he was little disappointed.

Misty and Paul were both totally unfazed by it. In fact, it seemed like Misty was enjoying even more than her boyfriend. "Ah, that's something tthat gives even more creepy vibes!"

"Actually, that was totally lame. Those are just some pumpkins with eyes and mouth cutouts on it. They were illuminated with red lights and just started making a stupid laughing sound in the background, to make it more scary but... honestly, that didn't make me even budge," Dawn explained with a serious face. She then turned to Leaf and May. "Don't be afraid of those, they are just normal pumpkins."

"Hey, Dawn!" Misty whined.

"What?" she asked, nonchalantly.

"You're ruining the fun!" Gary frowned.

She shrugged, not really caring. "Whatever."

Paul nodded. "Actually, everything is too old."

"I agree," Dawn said.

The spiky-haired brunette slapped a hand over his forehead, muttering, "Why did we have to come with such pair of 'uninteresting' people?"

"What did you say?" Ash and Misty asked, simultaneously with their eyebrows raised and vicious smiles on their faces.

"Um... nothing!" he said as he walked ahead of the group.

May laughed. "Misty and Ash can get really scary when it comes to their loved ones."

"Mm," her boyfriend hummed. "I get like that, too, don't I?" He grinned.

She jabbed him on his stomach, lightly. "Geez, yeah." He just laughed in response.

"Damn, that would've been too amazing, if only a certain someone would've kept her treasure of knowledge with her," Gary said, flatly, narrowing his eyes.

The bluenette glared at him. "Yeah, which you seriously lack." The two humph-ed, turning their faces the other way.

Ash laughed, nervously. "Um… I think that we should now go for the roller coaster!"

"You bet!" Gary agreed with eyes sparkling, forgetting his annoyance.

Drew nodded. "This is the only thing I wait for when I come to these parks!"

"Me too!" Misty agreed.

"Yeah, this is the only thing that I find interesting," the purple-haired boy said, nodding. Even the most boring person would enjoy the rollercoaster.

"Then, let's go, shall we?!" Leaf cheered.

"That was thrilling, wasn't it?" May asked, with a satisfied look on her face.

The others nodded. "It's a good thing that none of us are scared of heights, right?" Drew remarked, holding May's hand.

Leaf nodded. "Yeah, or else we wouldn't have enjoyed like this!"

"Then, why don't we all go for another round?!" Gary suggested, with huge smile on his face. "It will be super fantastic!"

Misty shook her head. "No. Let's go on the next ride! I'd love to try the others as well!"

"Yeah, I agree with her," Paul said.

Gary glared at him as he muttered, "Ha, when do you not agree with her?"

"Hey, let's get into the dashing cars!" Drew exclaimed. "What do you all say?"

"Yeah, sure," the bluenette said, as everyone nodded and followed Drew.

They all headed towards that section. Ash and Drew sat in the cars, along with their girlfriends and the others sat all by themselves. Once they all were ready, the manager of the ride pressed a button, starting the cars.

They all dashed each other's cars aggressively, enjoying every moment. Misty and Ash were the most crazy ones of all; they just kept on bumping, rather violently. Gary and Drew weren't any less than Misty and Ash, even they were doing a good job at seeking their revenge. Paul and Leaf were far calmer, but once they were dashed, they didn't back down until they got back at the one who had hit them. May was actually on Drew's side on taking the revenge. And Dawn… she was trying really very hard to not punch Ash, since she just kept bouncing on her seat, making her angry every second. Actually, it'd really be a wonder if she didn't fly out of her seat by the end of the ride. (1)

When their time was up, they all left the place. "Damn, that was so cool!" Ash yelled as he pumped up his fist, completely thrilled.

"I know right!" The orange-haired girl grinned as she high-fived him.

Drew nodded. "Yeah! That was really awesome! Though, I feel like I have muscle cramp in my neck, due to those sudden jerks." He chuckled he rubbed his nape with his palm.

The spiky-haired brunette had a satisfied look on his face, as if he had won a competition or something. "I hit all of you twice or thrice! That was so ridiculous!"

"Oh, right. But, if I remember correctly, I hit you five times in a row!" Leaf said, sticking out her tongue.

Gary just ran a hand through his hair. "Yeah, you did 'cause I let you since you're my very precious girlfriend, right?" he said sweetly, wrapping an arm around her shoulder.

She smirked. "Yeah, right."

May exclaimed, "I got a lot of jerks and pushes, though, but I enjoyed it a lot!"

The chartreuse-haired glanced at his sister, frowning. "Hey, Dawn? Why do you look like you wanna kill somebody?" he questioned, noticing the dreadful look on her face. Her face held a serious frown with her eyes twitching and fists clenched.

She didn't reply but simply glared at Ash, giving him a sudden chill. She grumbled, "I don't feel that well, so I'm taking a rest over there. You people can go ahead." With that, she walked away, taking heavy steps.

"What's wrong with her? Why is she so pissed?" Leaf wondered, staring at the bluenette's retreating figure with concern.

Misty glared at Ash. "Did you do something?"

He shook his head, frantically. "I didn't do anything... at least, I think."

Gary stood next to him and wrapped an arm around his shoulder. "By the way she glared at you, it surely has got something to do with you."

"W-what? I don't think I did anything that'd upset her!" he exclaimed, trying hard to figure out what was his mistake. "I swear!"

May said, "I think she didn't enjoy the cars just now… 'cause Ash was driving it pretty insanely, receiving a lots of jerks and pushes… it must've frustrated her?"

Drew nodded. "Mm. That might be the case or else she doesn't really have any reason to be angry. And I knew she was going to be mad by judging the looks on her face during that ride. She was really horrified and angry, y'know."

Ash gulped. "Damn. Why didn't I realise that sooner?"

"Dude, you're gonna get dumped!" Gary laughed as he patted the horrified boy next to him. "So, my condolences to your relationship."

Leaf stomped his foot, saying, "Shut up, Gary!" She glared at him, making him wince.

"Ow! Can't you be gentle?! Is this your idea of love?!"

She ignored him and said to Ash, "You better ignore him."

He nodded as he sighed. "You guys go ahead. I'll go make up with her first and then meet up with you guys at the exit."

The others nodded as he walked in the same direction in which his girlfriend had gone off to. Gary couldn't help but say, "Looks like they are gonna have some romance, now!"

"Yeah, that's bound to happen." Leaf laughed.

"Could you guys please not say those type of things in front of me? Especially when it's about those two?" Drew glared at them.

"Mm. Sure, the overprotective brother gets angry, right?" Misty teased.

He just grumbled in response and walked ahead of them. "Whatever."

They all laughed at his response before Gary said, "Since, he's going to spend some quality time with his girlfriend, then I might as well do the same thing." He grabbed Leaf's hand and took her away. "See y'all!"

"H-hey! Gary!" Leaf stammered, a little embarrassed.

"What? I listened to you the entire day and it's your chance to obey my orders!" He smirked.

"Alright..." She blushed as she followed him.

May smiled, looking at those two. She turned to the other two and smirked. "I don't mind if you both go and have some privacy, y'know."

"You better go to Drew, first," Paul said, motioning towards the green-haired guy. May gave a confused look to him, not particularly understanding what he was implying.

Misty nodded. "Yeah, it seems like he's enjoying chatting with the girls over there."

May frowned as she turned around and saw her boyfriend flashing his charming smile to the girls crowded near him. "That moron!" She walked with heavy steps to Drew.

The orange-haired girl laughed and then, turned to Paul. "Buy me something to eat!"

"You just finished your ice-cream."

"You're my boyfriend and you're supposed to make me happy," she said, seriously as she walked away. "And the only thing, that can make me happy is by fulfilling my wishes."

Paul sighed. "Yeah, yeah."

Dawn was seated on one of the benches, leaning on the backrest. "Damn, my head hurts." She massaged her temples, hoping that the pain would go away. Just then, an ice-cream popped in front of her eyes.

"Here."

She didn't even need to look to know who it was since she knew his voice really well. She accepted the ice-cream and licked it, once. Then, she felt him sit next to her on the bench. "Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be enjoying with the rest of them?" she asked, leaning back on the backrest.

He replied, licking his ice-cream, "How could I leave you with that upset look on your face? I just had to come you! And y'know, I can see a lot of thugs around here and I don't want them hit on you." He glanced at her, saying, "Also, to apologize for making you so uneasy."

She couldn't help but sigh. "It's fine. No need to worry, I'm just overreacting. You don't need to apologize. And besides, I was just frustrated for some reason."

"So, it means you forgive me?!" he asked, eyes sparkled like little kid.

She nodded. "It wasn't even your mistake in the first place, so what should I forgive you for? And since there is nothing to say sorry for, then that means I'm not mad at you."

"Thanks! I love ya!" he yelled as he hugged her, still holding his ice-cream, which caused many people to glance in their way.

She blushed as she said, "H-hey, everyone's staring at us!"

"Mommy, look! Adult love!" a young boy shouted, pointing in their direction.

"Shh! Don't look!" his mom scolded as she took him away.

Dawn's embarrassment went out of control as she punched him away instinctively, making him land right on the ground. "Sorry!" she apologized when she realized her actions.

He replied with swirls in his eyes and body lying down on the ground. He showed her a thumbs up, trying to assure her that he was alright, "I'm good… no need to worry?"

"Are you sure you're okay with Ferris wheels?" Ash questioned, concerned about her.

She glared at him. "I'm saying you this for the sixth time that I'm fine with that." When he was about to open his mouth, she interrupted, "If you ask that question, again… I swear I'll leave you alone, here and leave."

"Okay! I'm Sorry! I won't repeat!" he replied quickly, afraid that she'd really leave him and go away.

They were waiting for their turn in the line to get into the Ferris wheel. Ash couldn't help but feel excited that she was going to ride with him for the first time in that compartment. Just then, he looked down to see that Dawn had a red colour on her cheek. "Dawn, you don't have fever, do you?"

"No! It's just that… I'm kind of excited to ride on this with you," she whispered, completely embarrassed. She didn't want to look him in the eye so she just looked away, averting her eyes.

"Cuteness overloaded!" he exclaimed as he covered his face with his hands. "I must be really lucky to have you!"Just then, she squeezed his hand, really tightly, making him wince. "Oww!"

"Shh! People might be thinking that you're crazy if you keep doing actions like that!" she scolded with a frown. His face fell as he nodded.

"Yes, m'lady."

When it was their turn, they both sat down in one of the compartments. Dawn sat on one side and Ash on the opposite. He looked out of the window and complimented, "The view is awesome, isn't it?"

She nodded with a soft smile on her face. "Yeah." Somehow, the atmosphere was really calming since it was almost dusk and the scenery was… beyond perfect. The smooth sum rays were entering their room. "It feels so relaxed, here, to be out of that crowd. It's so refreshing."

"Mm. Really." He nodded with a grin. Just then, he got up and sat next to Dawn. She looked at him, surprised. "What? I just wanted to sit next to you."

"But this box will be out of balance! Go and sit, there!" She started pushing him, and since he was obviously more taller and stronger than her, he didn't even budge, but it was enough to make the cabin shake. Out of surprise, she caught his hand, tightly.

Ash was trying to stifle his laugh. He looked down at her face, she was completely flustered as she quickly let of his hand. "Haha, Dawn. Don't worry, I'm yours… you can hold me however you want."

Her head shot up in his direction. She had an astonished, embarrassed, and shy expression on her face. What was he saying? Her face flushed in a deep crimson colour. "Wh-what are y-you saying?!" she stuttered, backing away slightly.

Usually, she was the one who would scare him, but when he gets in "that" mode, he would be the one scaring her. That mode was called "Super-dominating Romantic Mode", where he would get so… charming? He would just talk to her in his seductive, husky tone, giving her chills. Then, he'd tease her to his heart's content… kind of like a sadist? And finally, would start getting into a really, really romantic mood. He just starts kissing on her… head, cheek, lips and… neck, too, which usually resulted in Dawn's explosion.

Ash leaned forward and kept a hand behind her back, stopping her from moving back. "Hey, c'mon! Don't back away like this… I'll be hurt, y'know," he said in his slow and rough voice, in an attractive way.

She blushed even more and she could feel her heart beating wildly against her chest. He was really dangerous in that mode. She stammered, back, "C-cut it out." Well, it came out just more than a whisper.

"Damn, you look so adorable, right now," he said with a smile on his face. He looked like a complete sadist! But… he wasn't the type who would want to see her suffer, he just wanted to see her all embarrassed and flustered.

"St-stop it!" she squeaked as she covered her face with her slim hands. Ash smiled as he pulled away her hands and kissed right on her lips, taking her by surprise. She squeaked a little when she felt his lips on hers. He kept on kissing her, without moving away. Just when Dawn was at her limit, she pulled him away, lightly. Her face was completely red and her cheeks became hot.

He could taste her strawberry flavoured lip balm, which had gotten on his lips. "Damn, you have never applied this one before, have you?"

She wasn't ready to look him in his eyes, yet. "N-no, Cynthia gifted it to me, yesterday."

When he was about to lean and kiss once more, she put a hand over her lips. Her meter of reaching her limit was very high, right now. He smirked as he leaned forward and brought his lips to her neck. As soon as he pressed his lips on her hot neck, he knew that she was very close to her explosion. But, nonetheless, he continued.

Dawn gasped as he bit her skin. When was this ride going to end?!

"A-ash! Stop… I'm a-at my limit!" she exclaimed, not able to say words clearly. She felt really light-headed from all of his actions.

He moved back and took a chance to look at her. Her pale skin was covered with a shade of red, like some sort of cherry. She was breathing, heavily, trying to calm herself. Maybe… this was too much for her. Also, she seemed like she could faint any moment.

He smiled, satisfied, as he said, "I feel so refreshed, now!"

She looked up at his carefree face. "Y-you're horrible!"

Just then, the doors of their cabin were opened by the controller. Ash got up from his seat, holding out a hand to his girlfriend. She accepted it since she knew that she wouldn't be able to walk with her wobbly legs. She exited the compartment, staggering, with swirls in her eyes. Her visor cap had fallen and Ash was holding onto it for her.

"Is the miss alright?" the man, who was the operator, asked Ash.

He stifled his laugh as he replied, "Yeah, she's just feeling dizzy. That's all!" The man nodded.

Ash walked Dawn away from the Ferris wheel and led her to a bench where she could take a rest. He made her sit on the seat and went away to get drinks, putting the cap on her head. She sat on her seat, still feeling as dizzy as ever.

"Here you go," the raven-haired boy said, handing her the orange juice. "This will make you sober up."

She drank one sip of the juice, which made her cool down. To get rid of the giddiness, she gulped down the entire bottle in one-go. When she completely recovered, she turned to glare at him. He was sipping his drink nonchalantly. She couldn't help but glare even hardly.

When he felt her eyes on him, he turned to look at her. "What?" He raised his eyebrows, casually, acting very innocent. "You don't like the drink?"

Her eyes twitched in anger as she said, through her gritted teeth, "No, the drink is pretty good but… what I don't like is… you." She pointed her thin index finger at him.

"Aw, you want me to do that, again?" he asked, with a mischievous smile.

"No!" she replied instantly.

"I'm hurt."

"Be hurt, I don't care," she huffed.

"Are you mad at me?"

"Yes, very."

"Okay, then if you don't forgive me... I'll do that to you, again."

"No, no, no!"

"Then, am I forgiven?"

"...Yeah."

"Mm, good," he said, with a victorious smile. "C'mon, let's go." He stood up, letting out his hand for her, which she grabbed onto.

As she got up from his seat, she muttered, "How the heck does he get so bold at times like these? When he is usually very… goofy and foolish."

"Hmm? Did you say something? I didn't quite hear." Ash raised his eyebrows, looking down at her.

She shook her head. "No, nothing."

He nodded as he led her to a cotton candy stall. "You want some?" Just when she about to reply, he interjected, "Even if you say no, I'm going to buy it for you."

"Then, why even bother asking?" she mumbled to herself.

The raven-haired boy quickly handed the vendor the amount and took two cotton candy sticks. "Here you go." He handed Dawn hers and took one for himself.

By the time, they finished eating it, they were standing before a huge tent. The blunette wondered, "What is in there?"

In response, Ash grinned, replying, "Then, we'll just have to check it out!" He grabbed her hand and led her to the entrance, where they saw the rest of their gang. "Why are you guys here? I thought we were gonna meet at the entrance?" he questioned as those two joined them.

"Oh, you both are here, too?" May asked as they all turned around.

Misty nodded. "Actually, we all were going to meet at the exit but… coincidentally, we all gathered here."

"Yeah," Drew said. "Guess we all were curious to know the amount of truth in this fortune telling booth."

"It's gonna be meaningless, because there is now way someone can possibly predict the future," the bluenette said casually.

Gary groaned, "Oh, c'mon! Don't spoil the excitement!"

"Stop arguing. If you want to know your fortune, Then, hurry up," Paul said, irritated. The others nodded, agreeing with him. The eight of them entered the tent to see there was a woman sitting on a huge seat with a globe in front of her. Since it was almost time to leave, not many people were there.

"You all can come one by one," that woman said. "I'm Sabrina, if you're curious."

They nodded as they stood at distance, where they could at least hear the woman. "Who's going first?" Ash asked, looking at them.

"Me! Me!" Leaf chimed in. She quickly grabbed Gary's hand and dragged him with her.

"Woah! Slow down, will ya?!"

When those two were standing in front of Sabrina, she asked, "Lovers? You want me to tell you about both of your relationship?" Those two nodded. "Mm." She closed her eyes and chanted something on the globe.

"Y'know, it says that… she is the only one who can see the images in that globe!" May said, excitedly.

Dawn replied, bluntly, "It proves even more that she is fake."

"It's fine if you don't believe but atleast, hear it out, okay?" Drew smiled, warmly at his younger sister, making her nod.

"What does it say?" Leaf asked, very excitedly.

"Mm… your relationship will go smoothly, but you have to keep your boyfriend in check or else he might be… you know what I'm saying, right?" she responded, seriously.

Gary's eyes bulged out. "What are you saying?! If it's like that, she might not even allow me to go to parties! Heck, even take a glance at hot girls!"

"That's right, Mr. Oak! You're prohibited to see any girl, except me and our friends!" she said, sternly as she grabbed his hand and took him to the gang.

"Yay… Gary's gonna die soon!" Drew snickered.

"Shut up," he said, through his gritted teeth, glaring at her. "I knew coming here would make me lose something."

"Who's next?"

"I'll try it out!" Misty said, grabbing Paul's hand as those walked to that woman.

"It seems like your relationship will be alright since your bonds have gotten closer than before," she said with a smile. Misty and Paul's eyes widened, astonished as a light blush tinted on their faces. "Mm. You both will be okay as long as you maintain trust in each other."

They bowed to show respect. "Thank you." They came to their friends side with proud and happy looks on their faces.

When they returned, Gary jabbed his elbow in Paul's stomach. "That means you've definitely done it, right?!" he teased him with a smirk. While, Drew and Ash were throwing dirty looks at him.

"Bastards, if you want to have a happy life with your girlfriends then, stop making those faces… Or else I won't leave your handsome faces presentable," the purple-haired boy said through his clenched teeth.

May winked at Misty, while slapping a hand on her back. "Tell us the details, later, 'kay?!" The orange-haired girl nodded shyly.

Leaf grinned. "Yeah!"

"Ahem," Dawn cleared her throat. "Will you guys stop being so immature?" They all kept quiet and looked down. "Drew and May, if you're going, then hurry up, 'cause it's getting late."

Those two nodded and went off. Ash frowned. "We should've gone before them!" In response, she just glared at him, making his mouth shut. "She is so strict," he muttered.

"What does this magic globe say about us, ma'am?" May asked, politely.

Sabrina glanced at the globe and replied, "You both fought a lot before because of a certain someone, right?" Those two nodded. "Hmm. You both will get involved in some small arguments, but nothing major. So, don't worry."

"Just this much?" Drew blurted. May, quickly, dragged him away, saying a 'thanks' on the way. "Wait! How does she know?! That we used to fight a lot!" he asked her in a whisper.

"She doesn't predict someone's future for nothing, y'know?" She shrugged.

"But, still…," he said, trailing off.

"Shut up! Be grateful that nothing major will happen to us!" she scolded, making him shut his mouth.

As soon as they joined the gang, Ash yelled, "Dawn, let's go, quickly!" He grabbed her hand and rushed to Sabrina. "Please, tell us about our relationship!"

"Ash, be patient," Dawn said.

Sabrina nodded. After a few seconds, she frowned. "Are you sure you want to know your fortune?" Ash nodded, continuously. "Fine. It seems like… your relationship is going to go… downhill from here."

"What?!" the raven-haired boy exclaimed.

"Yes. A sudden entry of a girl into your daily lives will destroy your bonds, amd it might break you apart." All of them stared her, surprised. "And you, blue hair." she pointed at Dawn and said. "You have to make sure that you don't do anything stupid while thinking good for someone else… and don't make decisions selflessly. If you do that, then you're going to be the reason for your break up. Keep that in mind. Also, don't let any girl get closer to your boyfriend, be it anyone."

Dawn looked at her, expressionless, while Ash was more than shocked.

She continued, "In simple words, treasure your relationship and don't let anyone get in the way or else a huge storm might brew up, filled with only sadness and worry. You'll just have to believe in your feeling of love and not of someone else's. Do keep that in mind, blue-haired young lady."

It took some time for them to process what she was saying. Dawn was the first one to recover, she sighed and bowed. "Thank you." Ash nodded and did the same.

They all were silent as they exited the tent. Ash was walking with Dawn, side by side. "Hey, she said everyone's future was good! But only ours was… depressing!"

She replied, casually, "Just ignore her for now."

"But, there's no way I can ignore that! Especially, things that involve you and our relationship!" he exclaimed. He turned to face her. "Dawn… I can't get over the thought that you might leave me someday."

She looked straight at him. "Don't worry, I won't leave your side."

Then, there was again, an awkward silence among them. She couldn't help but walk ahead of him, leaving him quiet. The others were getting worried about their actions.

Ash, who was quiet, asked, breaking the silence, "Dawn? What...do you think? Was it the truth?" He knew he already asked this type of question, but he just couldn't believe the things that Sabrina said.

Dawn halted. Now, everyone's eyes were onp her. "Look, Ash. I don't really believe in that stuff. It doesn't really makes any sense. So, even you don't have to look so distressed. No one can predict the future, we can just depend on time and our fate to know what might happen to us." She turned around and faced him. "No need to worry, right?"

He looked hesitant but when he saw that warm smile on her face. He couldn't help but return the smile, nodding. "Yeah, no need to worry! As long as we are together and trust each other; nothing will happen to us, right?!"

The others heaved a sigh in relief. At least, there was no more awkwardness in the atmosphere. Dawn nodded. "Hmm!"

Ash couldn't help but dash towards her and press his lips against hers. She was surprised by his sudden actions but soon, relaxed. The kiss comforted them that they both were going to stand for each other and never leave each other's side.

When the kiss was getting longer than expected, Drew quickly went to them and pulled Dawn away from Ash. "C'mon, stop doing that in front of me! You can do it anytime and anywhere but as long as I'm not with you!" he exclaimed.

The others couldn't help but start laughing. Both of the lovebirds were embarrassed to the core. Ash yelled, "Moron! I have more right on her than you! Since she loves me in a romantic way and has desires which can be only fulfilled by me, her boyfriend and not you, brother!"

"Point," Leaf agreed.

"Leaf!" everyone shouted, except for Ash.

"What? Ash is right."

"Let's drop the topic, please," Dawn said, facepalming. She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed at his words.

Drew pointed. "Hey, Gary! Look, there's a girl! She's hot, isn't she?"

He looked around, frantically. "Where? Where?"

"Here." He turned around, only for his face to meet with a fist. The others started to laugh, while Drew high-fived Ash.

"Good job, Leaf!"

"Ow! My pretty face!"

"Serves you right."

"Screw you, Drew!"

Hahaha, wasn't the last part funny? I felt like it, though. Gary is just like his usual self! Checking out girls at every chance he gets and Leaf just had to punch him! I felt it was just so like her! ; p

And...what's this mystery behind Ash and Dawn's fortune? Haha, I know it seems totally lame but I just had to add that...'cause my instincts said so..? For some reason, I felt like it would help in continuing the plotline. I know you've all figured it out, I mean, the fortune..where it was relating to.

(1) Actually, when I had gone to an amusement park for my excursion from school with my friends in tenth grade, I sat in that ride for almost four times, repeatedly without any break! Though, I had a high fever, I still went there...but, it was fun as hell! I was like seriously getting dashed and dashing others! The most hilarious part was when I like idiot had lost control over that car and hit it on the wall, then all of friends came and dashed me from behind, trapping me! I was like "what the hell, dude" and the jerk I got from that time was enough to restrain my neck movements, for a week! And just like Dawn, I was pretty frustrated, too but when I think back of that time, I end up laughing my head off! I'm pretty much inspired from my own experiences...

Guys, let me inform you...that moment between Ash and Dawn in the Ferris wheel, just came out in flow after I read "Satisfaction brought it back (a ShinichixRan story) by hislips. I don't know what the heck was wrong with me when I was writing that scene! But...as much as I understood...it wasn't that much of an echhi scene, so it was pretty good, right?

Oh, yes. About that Sabrina, I don't really know how she looks but i just read in some fanfic that she was some psychic type of female, so I just decided to go with that name. Since I felt really lazy, googling and checking out her appearance and blah, blah.

Anyway, hope you guys enjoyed it!
