Chapter #11- Kenny?
"And here we are…" Brock sighed, setting down an array of foods before Dawn, Ash and Misty, (who were playing footsies under the table.)
Once all the foot was set, Brock turned and headed back to get 4 plates and silverware, but there was a slight dilemma when he returned to the table. All the food was gone, or at least extremely large portions of it, and from what Brock could see, Ash was the culprit, because he was holding one of the giant spoons and was wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.
"What the-how?" Brock stuttered, pointing at Ash. How did he eat all of that?
"You don't want to know…" Dawn stammered, utterly disgusted as she always had been by Ash's huge appetite and lack of manners.
Misty began cracking up at the pleased and innocent looks on Ash's face, and handed him a napkin. "It doesn't matter," She chuckled, "I wasn't hungry anyway. And besides, Brock can always make some more, can't you?" She asked turning toward him, giving him her look.
"Yeah, I guess I could cook some more," Brock grumbled, though he was only slightly annoyed at Ash. He highly enjoyed the fact that Ash loved his cooking, but he hated running low on food supplies, so he always packed extra of everything.
He walked back over to the table twenty minutes later; his arm full of bowls of stew and rice balls, and was relieved when Ash refused to eat anymore. Right as he was setting Dawn's food in front of her, however, they were interrupted again, this time by a voice calling to them from the path opposite the lake.
They all looked up toward the path to see who it was, and Dawn almost fainted as she saw him.
"Kenny?" She whispered, half of her wishing it was him, while the other half was hoping it wasn't. Looking around at the others she saw Ash and Brock smiling warmly at Kenny and waving at him, which made her really suspicious, because they had never been that close to Kenny. Why were they so excited to see him? Misty, of course, was completely lost.
The person came striding forward and Dawn's face became instantly flushed when she realized that it was Kenny. Does my hair look okay? She wondered, running her fingers through it nervously as she smiled warmly at him and he replied with a playful wink, I haven't brushed it all day…
"Got any food left," Kenny asked, giving Dawn a mocking look and laughing, "Or did DeDe over here eat it all?" The only comeback Dawn could come up with was rolling her eyes at him and sticking her tongue out.
"Sure there's plenty," Brock said. He gestured toward the empty chair next to Dawn, "Sit down and help yourself!" Kenny thanked him, sat down, and pulled a bowl of stew toward him, while Dawn, next to him, was resisting the urge to scoot closer.
I can't believe Kenny is here! Dawn thought to herself, looking at him as he began to eat. But, what is he doing here? And how did he know where we were?
She took another look around the table only to see Ash and Brock avoiding her gaze.
A/N: TaDa! I know the ending kind of sucks, but it was the only thing I could come with! At least I added Kenny, and his wacky sense of humor in it. If you want to learn more about my sequel, I have the summary posted on my profile, so check it out!
The reviews you guys have been writing are amazing, and even more of them, mostly positive though, would help me finish pre-writing the sequel and posting it.
Oh, and just so you know ahead of time, I'm posting this Christmas story I wrote, Operation: Kiss Ash, before I post the sequel which will be around the end of December or the beginning of January.
Thank You for your support, (bows) Please keep reading my other fics, they're going to get better, I promise:)
