Hello, and welcome to another chapter of Live Life to the Fullest!

Ash, Gary, Drew, and Dawn went to Alinea, a very popular restaurant in Humilau City, according to Dawn. They were greeted by a beautiful, green-eyed brunette.

"Hey, Dawn!" she said.

"Hola, Leaf! This is Ash, Gary, and Drew. Guys, this is Leaf, my BFF." Dawn said.

"Dawn, are all your friends this beautiful?" asked Gary. Ash and Drew rolled thier eyes. That was Gary's typical line when he saw a beautiful girl.

"Uh...ooookay. Follow me, I already got us a table." The four followed Leaf to a booth. Gary, Leaf, and Drew sat on one side, and Ash and Dawn on the other. They placed thier order, and began to talk.

"So, you guys came here to scuba dive?" Leaf asked.

"Sort of." Gary said. "We came here because Drew here is getting married, so for his bachelor trip, we each are going to pick an adventure sport to do here. Drew's choice was scuba diving."

"What did you pick?" Leaf asked.

"It's a surprise."

Meanwhile, Ash's phone rang.

"Why is your phone pink?" Dawn asked. Ash glared at Gary, remembering the fact that he was the one who threw his phone in the ocean.

"Long story." He said. Their food came, and the began to eat.

"Dawn, you did us a great favor and allowed us to eat this delicous food. So, you and Leaf should come to our hotel, and we'll treat you to delicious desert." Gary said, after everyone finished eating.

"You know how to make desert?" Leaf asked. "Can you make Chocolate Fondue?"

Gary pulled out his phone. "I don't, but my friend Siri does! What about it, Dawn? Want some of Siri's Chocolate Fondue?" Gary asked.

"Why not?" asked Dawn. They paid thier bill and headed to the guy's hotel suite. Before they opened the door to it, Drew put his arm around Dawn.

"Best food in the world. Thanks for that." He said, opening the door. Dawn smiled. "No problem!" The five walked inside, when...

"DREW!?" They turned around, and to Drew's horror, he saw an angry May right in the living room.

"Uh...hi?" May dragged Drew to his room.

"WHY was your arm around that girl!?" She angrily asked.

"I was thanking her for dinner..."

"So you were on a dinner date!?"

"NO! We went scuba diving, and she was our instructor. We were hungry, so she and her friend Leaf took us to dinner, and Gary invited them over for desert, and..."

"Puh-lease! Gary and desert? He almost burned down his house the last time he tried to cook something!" May said.

"Yeah, that was three years ago, he has more experience now!" said an agitated Drew.

"Why do I get the feeling that you are cheating me?" May asked.

"I'm not! I love you, May! Why would you think I like Leaf or Dawn? It's pretty obvious that Gary likes Leaf, and Ash likes Dawn. I love you, May!" Drew said.

"Really?" May asked.

"Yes, really." Drew said. May walked forward and hugged him.

"Sorry for accusing you." She said.

"It's okay."

Meanwhile...

"Hey, Ash, dawn, do you mind going outside for a bit?" Gary asked.

"Why?" asked Dawn.

"Oh, I just want to spend time with Leaf..."

Dawn rolled her eyes. "Of course. Do you mind going for a walk, Ash?"

"Of course!" Ash said. "Let's go!"

"So, beautiful, want to help me make desert?" Gary asked Leaf.

"Why not?" The two went to the kitchen. Gary pulled out his phone and pressed the home button.

"Siri, tell me how to make chocolate fondue."

"Here's what I found for 'how to make chocolate fondue.'" Siri said. A recipe appeared.

"We need chocolate frosting." Leaf said.

"I'll check!" Gary opened the fridge, and to his delight, found a tube of chocolate icing. He took it out, and accidentaly squeezed it on Leaf's face.

"Sorry!" He said sheepishly said. Leaf put a finger to her cheek, rubbing off part of the chocolate, and tasted it.

"Mmm...yummy!" Gary did the same.

"You're right, you are delicious!" He said. Leaf stared at him. "Uh...let's get cooking!" Gary said.

Meanwhile, with Ash and Dawn...

Ash and Dawn were walking down the lamplit streets of Humilau City. Ash's phone rang, and before he could answer it, Dawn said

"Are you always working? Even during a vacation?"

"Yep. More work equals more money." Ash said.

"Does money matter a lot to you?" Dawn asked.

Ash sighed. "My father died when I was young."

"That doesn't answer my question." Dawn said.

"Yes. Money matters a lot to me. My plan is it work a lot, earn a lot of money, then retire at forty, and live a comfortable life." Ash said. Dawn stopped walking.

"What do you mean? Dude, how do you even know if your going to be ALIVE till then? First live this day comfortably, then think about the forties!" Dawn said.

Ash thought for a moment. "Good point." Dawn stopped walking again. The two had reached a large meadow, right underneath the moon and the stars, both glistening like pearls in a midnight blue blanket.

"Wow, this place is beautiful." Ash said.

"I know. Lie down on the grass." Dawn said. Ash obeyed. He looked up at the stars, looking more beautiful than ever.

"I do this all the time." said Dawn, lying down too. "It's way to beautiful to miss."

"It's crazy that you've done this before." Ash said.

"No, it's crazy that you haven't done this before. After tonight, you'll be dying for a glimpse of this beautiful night sky." Dawn said.

Ash thought for a minute. "You know, I think you're right!" He said. The two stared the sky again, until they dozed off, right next to each other.
