Chapter 3

We Are The Same

Paul had been walking for hours it seemed, his temper had once again got the better of him. Why had Ash buying Dawn a present sent him over the edge like that? Dawn was nothing to him, and what that loser did or didn't do was also nothing to him. Paul paused for a breather, his anger had died down and his tiredness had been noticed by him.

"Im drained, Im also over this whole situation." Paul sighed to himself. He was just so tired of being on guard, it seemed there was no where he could let himself rest.

(Meanwhile back with Ash & Dawn)

The two had been walking for hours and had came to a clearing in the forrest. A small pound of clear fresh water was before them. "Its swimming time!" Shouted an excited Dawn. Ash agreed and the two went their separate ways to change into their swimming clothes. Dawn had her bottoms on to her bikini and was in the process of putting her top on. She was bare chested, rummaging through her bag looking for her swimming top.

Ash had quickly changed into his trunks, he was searching for where Dawn had ran off to.

Ash was about to call out Dawn's name when his eye's caught a sight of a bare chested Dawn through the clearing. Ash's eyes took in the sight with hesitation mixed with excitement and guilt. He knew he should spy on Dawn, but the raging hormones in Ash begged to be entertained. Dawn was more developed than anyone might think, she had perky round breast that fit her well. The bounced nicely as she moved around searching for the rest of her outfit. Ash also noticed her nicely curved figure and hips, she was very attractive. Ash felt his swimming trunks becoming a bit tighter around his groin area. He had experienced an erection before, even pleasured himself a bit. He just didn't expect this reaction to his friend Dawn. Dawn bent over searching her bag, Ash couldn't resist he felt his hand drop down to his manhood. He stroked himself through the swimming trunks, he felt so wrong for this but it felt too good. He wanted so badly to touch the object of his current affection. Ash felt his manhood getting more aroused by the second, stiffening beneath his touch with every stoke. Dawn now jumped for joy causing her breast to bounce and giggle. She had found her top, she quickly tied it on. Ash let out a quiet sigh, the fun was over. Ash noticed Dawn heading his way, he quickly tried to calm down his stiffened groin.

Dawn was a quick girl she managed to make it to Ash before he had time to calm his crotch.

"Ash! Hey lets go swimming Im all ready to get wet." Dawn's words didn't help Ash's current situation. Dawn ran past Ash grabbing his arm as she pulled him with her toward the pound. Plunging into pound pulling Ash in with her. Dawn grabbed onto Ash pulling him close to her playfully.

Dawn suddenly felt something poking her in the belly region, "Ash, what is that poking me?" Dawn was quit virginal and naive really. Ash's face turned as red as the top of a pokeball. "Umm nothing Dawn..." Ash tried to redirect the conversation to how nice the water felt. Dawn was easily distracted, "Yeah it is nice! So cool and calming ." Ash sighed a sigh of relief. At least she had let that one go, "Hey Ash, can you retie my top it feels a little lose." Dawn turned her back to Ash pointing to the string on her bikini top. "Uh sure Dawn." Ash stuttered a little as he got closer to Dawn, he didn't realize how close he was to her backside until... "Ash what is that poking my butt?" Ash once again went red, "Umm it's a nothing, all done tighter and good to go." Ash quickly withdrew from Dawn.

Dawn turned to see a blushing Ash turning his back to her. What was wrong with him, why was he acting so strange.

(Back with Paul)

Paul had came to a clearing with a pound, he quickly noticed the two trainers swimming in it to be Ash and Dawn. Paul felt his temper returning as he saw Dawn pressed up against Ash hugging on him. Why did she want to be around that loser anyways. Paul anger only spiked when he heard Dawn questioning Ash about what had poked her butt. Did that creep really have a hard on?! Paul stopped himself, "What am I doing? Am I into this chick?"

The mere thought puzzled him, but why else would these things be bothering him so.

He decided to interrupt this little romp of theirs. "Im gone a few hours and you two slack off and go for a swim typical." Paul walked up to the edge of the pound.

"Paul! Come join us the waters great." Dawn shouted. She was happy to see Paul had rejoined their little gang. She couldn't help notice how cute Paul was, he looked so lonely though and angry. Paul considered the offer, it was hot and the water did look nice. Plus it would be nice to show this girl what a man looked like. "Sure why not." Paul removed his shirt to reveal a toned six pack. Dawn couldn't help take notice, as did Ash. A strange feeling entered into Ash. Paul left his jeans on and entered the water, "Paul how old are you anyways" questioned Dawn. "Im 16." replied Paul. "Oh wow! your a bit older than me and Ash. Im 14 and Ash is 12." Dawn knew Paul was older but she was off by a few years. "That explains why you two are so immature I guess" Paul snickered a bit. "Jerk, like your so gown up." fired back Ash. "Well I am pretty much responsible for myself." stated Paul.

"All the time? Where are your parents Paul?" Asked a intrigued Dawn. "Dead." spoke flatly Paul. "Have been for years." He turned from the pair and seemed to drift away into his own thoughts. "Im sorry, I had no idea." Dawn spoke softly. "No big deal, they've been dead for a long time." Replied Paul. "What about your older brother ?" Dawn was seeing their was reasons for Paul's behavior after all it seemed. "What about him, he had his life I have mine. I take care of myself have since they died." Paul seemed unfeeling but Dawn could see a wince of pain in his eyes. "Ok enough, you've pitted be long enough. Im fine alone always have been." Paul shrugged "Its just life, you lose people and life goes on." Paul seemed so matter of fact about it. "I don't know what Id do with out my mom" stated Ash. "Yeah me either" Added Dawn. "You'd go on, you'd survive simple as that." Paul was so cold about things. Surely he was not this detached from emotions. Paul was taken back by Dawn's following actions. He felt her arms around his neck as she embraced him into a hug. "Its ok to feel sad in there you know." She smiled reassuringly at him. Paul wouldn't deny her touch was nice. Feeling her body against his was a welcomed experience, she sure did smell nice. Why did that scent make him feel safe and calm? What was that scent, it reminded him of his mother a bit. Maybe thats why she had this effect on him, Paul snapped himself out of this trance like state Dawn had threw him into. "Yeah ok enough get off me." He pushed Dawn off him. "Im not your charity case get a life." He turned and exited the pound.

"What a tool." Ash shook his head... Dawn didn't take offense, she knew what it was like to lose a parent. Her dad had died when she was 12, she knew Paul was just protecting himself from being hurt. Now she knew why she was drawn to him...
