So… Um… Hey guys.

*Walks in ashamedly*

I know it has been ages… But I decided that I had to continue (at least some of) my unfinished stories.
I even had to re-read the whole thing because I forgot the whole plot. I frequently face palmed myself, haha. (both concerning content and spelling/grammar. I read 'the pencil was fallen on the ground. Um...What? I'm happy to see I have improved my writing style, even though it's still far from perfect)

But oh well, I thought it would be interesting to go on with the story :D

I originally wanted to update all the previous chapters but I didn't have enough time. I might do that another time!

Now read the story and enjoy :)

POV Barry

Oh man, I really wonder what's going on. May is behaving so weirdly. Why would she tell Ash the picture was token that recently? I don't get it. I will know soon though, I can already see Mays house.

When I arrived, I put my bike against the wall of Mays house and entered the it. I was going to call May at first, but when I heard a lot of familiar voices whisper, I decided to silently sneak upstairs.

That are the voices of Lyra and Misty. I wonder what they are talking about. This could be interesting. Let's do some eavesdropping!

'Ash apparently was really upset...' I heard Misty say.

'I know, right? That must mean something!' Lyra enthusiastically exclaimed.

'It might be just friendship... I wouldn't like it if my best friend didn't tell me about his/her new crush,' the red-haired girl began, 'we should think of a new plan...'

'Yeah! I really want to know what they feel about each other.' her brown-haired friend smiled.

I will never understand girls. They made Ash upset and Dawn sad just for their silly experiment... Ash does like Dawn, but I can't tell them. Maybe it's better that they don't -

'BARRY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!' I was frightened to death when suddenly this voice screamed from behind me.

'Whoa calm down!' I mumbled when I recovered from the shock.

Misty and Lyra quickly opened the door and both looked at me with surprised faces.'What do you think you're doing?' May asked angrily.

'I just wanted to know what the scene today was about!' I defended myself.

May sighed, then grinned and exchanged a glance with the other two girls. Suddenly May took one of my arms as Lyra took the other one, pulling me in Mays room. They locked the door and threw me on the bed. When I sat up I saw the three girls sitting in a circle around the bed, acting even more mysterious than before.

'Promise us to never tell anyone about this', Lyra looked deep into Barry eyes and had a really serious look on her face.

These girls have gone crazy.

'I promise.' I was having trouble holding my laughter back.

'We're the love cupids.'

I couldn't hold it anymore, a chuckle escaped my mouth as I quickly placed my hand on my mouth, trying to hide it.

The three girls had a slightly annoyed look on their faces, as Lyra continued:

'We want to know whether Ash and Dawn love each other. If they do, we're going to get them together!' Lyra enthusiastically exclaimed.

I quietly nodded.

'No one is supposed to know about our little organization. You owe us', Misty added.

'Anyways, Barry, do you think they love each other? You're the childhood friend of Dawn after all!' May curiously asked.

Well, it's one sided in every case, but no way I'm going to tell them about Ash's crush on Dawn… Ash's my friend, I have to keep my promise.'

'Hmm... I don't really know.' That seemed the most safe answer. The three curious girls shared a disappointed look, when Lyra suddenly jumped up.

'I have a great idea, guys! Barry, we need your assistance. You owe us anyways.'

Uh oh.

'Barry, you have to pretend you've fallen in love with Dawn! Play all flirty around her, compliment her and get really close to her!' She happily exclaimed.

'No way I'm going to do that!' I protested, but I immediately saw three angry faces glancing at me and I understood I had to shut up.

'And Misty, you were the childhood friend of Ash, right?' The red-head smiled and nodded.

'You have to act the same way around Ash, is that okay?'

'Um, okay', she clearly hesitated but eventually got the smile of before back on her lips.

'I'm not going to do this guys!' I protested again.

'If they both reject you guys and act jealously, we can be sure they're in love with each other! Come on Barry, this is a great plan. Don't you want Ash and Dawn to be happy?' Lyra looked at him with puppy eyes.

'If you don't cooperate... We will show you how three girls can destroy your whole life', an evil May winked as the other two girls grinned. They scared the heck out of him. I knew I had no choice and accepted.

Ugh.

How did you like it? :)
