DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POKEMON

Serena: Do you have any ideas of how to make Ash hate Dawn?

Author: Aww….is someone jealous?

Ash was happy with himself. Finally, his Dawn was back with him. Still, he was afraid that maybe she had a thing with Kenny, Barry, or even Paul. He hoped not. He knew he should confess his feelings, but what if Dawn rejected him?

"I'm hungry! Let's stop here for lunch. Dawn, could I help you make it? Pretty please?" Bonnie asked.

"Sure! I'd love to have a little helper" Dawn said.

"I'm going to go train my pokemon for my next gym battle." Ash said.

"I'LL be practicing for the next showcase in Snowbelle City." Serena said. Clement was going to go work on an invention, when Bonnie remembered she was trying to get Ash and Dawn together.

"Okay, I'll be making Ash's favorite; sandwiches, chicken tenders, French fries, and poffins for dessert!" Dawn said.

"Yum! What's a poffin?" Bonnie asked. Dawn explained to her what a poffin was.

The two began to cook a delicious lunch (well, mostly Dawn cooked. Bonnie just talked the whole time)

"Guys! Lunchtime!" Dawn said, not noticing that Bonnie was helping herself to some fries.

"Mmm! This is better than Serena's cooking!" Bonnie exclaimed, very loudly. Soon everyone came back, and Serena noticed that Ash sat across from Dawn, as Bonnie was sitting next to her. (That was the only spot near Dawn)

"Mmm….yum! Eight months without your cooking is torture." Ash exclaimed.

"Ash, you should've invited Dawn to travel with us much earlier!" Clement said, helping himself to some fries.

"Yeah, this is really good!" Serena said through clenched teeth.

"Dawn was busy in Sinnoh with her contests." Ash said. As soon as he said 'Sinnoh with her contests' Dawn stiffened. After she left Ash in Unova to go to Hoenn's Grand Festival….no. She forced herself not to think of it.

After a delicious lunch, they all went back to what they were doing. Dawn, however, was helping Ash train his pokemon. Eventually, they started talking.

"So, Miss Top Coordinator, did you miss me or not?" Ash said, immediately wishing he didn't say that.

"Um…what?" Dawn said.

"How was the Hoenn Grand Festival? The one from last year?" Ash asked.

God, how come everyone kept bringing that up? She didn't want to talk about it, especially the part after she…

"Hello?" he said.

"Huh? Oh, it was fine. I won, and I beat Kenny." She said. It was the truth, but what upset her was the 'special guest' who visited her after she won.

"So, you're the Top Coordinator for this year and the last, DD?" Ash grinned mischievously.

"Yeah….DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Dawn said. The two laughed, when Dawn noticed something…Pikachu was gone! Ash noticed that, too. They looked up and saw the faint outline of a hot air balloon…

"Team Rocket!" They exclaimed. They chased after the balloon, and Meowth noticed them.

"The twerps are here!" He said, alerting Jessie and James. The three said there annoying catchphrase, and Jessie pressed a button from her balloon. Three Ursaring came out of the woods, obviously in control of Team Rocket.

"Twerps!" Team Rocket said. "Pika-chu!" Pikachu sadly exclaimed from their balloon. The Ursaring advanced on them.

"Piplup, use Hydro Pump!" Dawn said.

"Dawn, no!" Ash said. Dawn didn't know why he said that, but she soon found out. One of the Ursaring was knocked out (yay!) but, the other two were mad. They advanced on Dawn, but Ash stood protectively in front of her. The Ursaring used Scratch, hoping to hit Dawn, but they hit Ash instead! He crumpled to the ground, and out of anger, Dawn made Piplup use Hydro Pump again. The Ursaring eventually got scared and ran away. Piplup used Hydro Pump into the air, and (yay!) Team Rocket's balloon exploded, and Pikachu fell out! Dawn caught it, though. She gently placed it on the ground, and rushed over to Ash.

"Ash!" She cried. "I'm sorry…."

"No need to worry." He said.

"That's when I worry the most." She replied.

"Dawn…" He said. "I'm hungry."

The two laughed, as they walked back to camp, (with Ash's arm around Dawn's shoulder) They told everyone how Team Rocket attacked them, and how Ash took the attack to save Dawn, and how she saved him. Everyone but Serena was happy. Bonnie smiled. Now, she didn't have to carry on her dangerous plan. Dawn already did something much more wild that brought them closer.

That's it! R&R please.
