"So Dawn, you wanna be my girlfriend?" Ash smiled at his soon to be girlfriend. Dawn eyes beamed with happiness. She threw her arms around his neck and held him close.

"Of course I do! I l-love you Ash!" Tears of joy ran down her soft cheeks.

"I love you too Dawn." Ash smiled and brought his hands to her waist. She released them from the hug, putting her hands on his shoulders.

Looking into each other's eyes, light brown meeting light blue, Ash started leaning in. Dawn blushed and began closing her eyes, also leaning in.

"Dawn, Dawn, Dawn." A voice chanted somewhere near them. Dawn opened her eyes and looked around. Seeing no one in sight, she turned her attention back to her boyfriend, Ash, who was looking around.

"Dawn! Dawn!" The voice said again. Both teenagers ignored it this time and focused on each other. Ash pressed his lips against Dawn's. She accepted his lips and kissed him back..

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

"Dawn! Dawn!-" The 'voice' stopped saying Dawn's name when she grabbed the hand, that was trying to wake her up, and started to kiss it. "What the? DAWN WAKE UP!" Dawn jumped and opened her eyes.

"Uh mom? Why is your hand near my face?" Dawn looked at her mom's hand that was hanging in her face. Johanna rolled her eyes.

"I was trying to wake you up and out of no where you started kissing my hand!" Dawn's face, automatically, went red. "Now get up.. time for school." With that Johanna walked out of Dawn's room.

Dawn sat up in her bed, still thinking about her dream. "Wow, best dream ever!" She squealed and put her hand to her heart. "Ash..." She went into a romantic daze for about 3 minutes then snapped herself out of it. "That was weird.. this is weird talking to myself. Oh well, time to get ready." She hopped out the bed, made it, and went to the bathroom.

...

"Bye mom!" Dawn said as she got out the car door. "Wait, your picking me up today right?" Johanna thought for a moment and nodded her head. Dawn smiled. "Good!"

"Bye honey, have a good day." Johanna waved at Dawn before rolling the window up and driving off. Dawn sighed and turned around to see students everywhere.

"Well... back to this hell hole." She rolled her eyes and started walking to the doors of RoseWood High. With wild students everywhere, going crazy, getting to the doors was challenging. When she got inside the school she was panting, heavily. "Finally!"

Once she caught her breath, she went to her locker. "DAWN!" A voice shouted her name. Dawn turned around and waved at the two boys walking over to her. "What's up Dawn?" A boy with brown spiky hair asked cooly while he leaned his back against somebody's locker. A boy with purple hair just stared at her as she went through her locker.

"Hey Gary, hey Paul." She closed her locker and put the lock on it. "What do you two want?" She asked with a playful smile. Paul and Gary looked at each other and smirked.

"Oh nothing.." Paul said as he moved to the other side of Dawn.

"Just wanted to see what's up.. with the girl that has Ash going crazy!" Gary chuckled after saying this. Dawn blushed and wondered what he met.

"What are you talking about?" Dawn asked eyeing Gary. Paul smirked to himself.

"Well.." Gary began. "In breakfast Ash kept talking about you.. that's why me and quiet boy here" He pointed to Paul. "are here talking to you. We left the cafeteria."

Dawn's face flushed. "Was Ash really talking about me..?" She began to smile. "So, what did he say? Was it good? Does he li-" Gary put his hand up to stop her questions. Dawn frowned and rolled her eyes.

"Slow down with the questions girl. It was good things. He said so much I don't even remember." Gary stopped talking and thought for a long time. Dawn sighed impatiently and started tapping her foot on the ground. "Got it! He uh said-"

"Look! It's dumb and dumber!" Drew joked as he walked up to Gary, Paul, and Dawn. Gary and Paul glared at Drew. "What's up Dawn?" Drew nodded his head at Dawn and flipped his hair.

"Hey Drew.. Gary what were you saying?" Dawn turned to face Gary so he can continue what he was saying. Before he could say something Drew butted in.

"Where the heck were you two this whole week? You missed all the fun!" Drew flipped his green hair and looked at Paul and Gary. Dawn huffed and palmed her face.

"No you and Ash missed all the fun! Me and Paul did things... fun things!" Gary smirked and high fived Paul. Drew started to pout.

"Ah man! Don't tell me you-" Before Drew could finish Paul answered his question already knowing what he was going to ask.

"Yup, sure did. While you and Ash were whipped the whole week, me and Gary had our fun." Paul smirk and high fived Gary again. Dawn rolled her eyes and walked away, not wanting to here this conversation.

"Bye guys." Dawn rolled her eyes and walked away. She heard one of the boys call her name but she just rolled her eyes and ignored them. Rolling her eyes was a mistake though...

"EXCUSE YOU!" Dawn bumped into a girl with long pink her. Dawn rolled her eyes and tried to walk around the girl but found herself surrounded by 4 girls including the pink haired one. One girl stuck out like a sore thumb, Misty. The girl she hated.

"Where do you think you're going?" Misty asked Dawn, while stepping closer to her. Dawn rolled her eyes and huffed. She really didn't want to do this right now.

"Look Misty-" She was interrupted by the red head.

"No you look! I don't like you.. at all! I heard about you and Ash going out last week. And I'm gonna say this once and only once! Stay away from him! He doesn't like you, your ugly and a loser. I have no idea why he hangs around you anyways... it's obvious he still wants me. He's just trying to make me jealous so like I said.. stay away from him or else.." With that said Misty snapped her fingers and walked away with the three other girls, leaving a speechless Dawn just standing there trying to take in what just happened.

"Oh yea! And tell that girl May to stay away from my Drew!" Solidad hollered from behind.

"I don't like you!" Dawn heard Drew yell. This made he laugh a bit.

She started walking to her first class, still in shock at what just happened. "Is what she said true? Am I ugly? Does Ash still have feelings for her? Is he just trying to make her jealous?" These thoughts pondered in her head. When she walked in the class a few kids were whispering stuff as she walked by them. She rolled her eyes and made her way to her seat, and waited until May got there.

"DAWN! OMG!" Dawn looked at the door to see a anxious May. She walked over to a desk by Dawn and took a seat. "Okay, what the hell happened between you and Misty? It's rumors going around saying you two are gonna fight, Ash dumped her for you, you got jumped by her and her 'crew', and a bunch of other things! So tell me what happened!" May moved her desk closer to Dawn's.

"Well.. I was walking away from Drew, Gary, and Paul. I rolled my eyes and ran into Solidad. I tried to go around her, but Misty, Giselle, and Daisy surrounded me. And Misty, started telling me things.." After saying this Dawn put her head in her hands. May rubbed her friends back for comfort.

"What did she say?"

"She said he doesn't like me, I'm ugly, and I'm a loser. Um... she said he still wants her and he's just trying to make her jealous, I guess by hanging around me and stuff." Dawn sighed and lied her head on the desk.

"Is that all she said?" May asked. Dawn nodded her head. May waited for her to say something but she never did. "Well what did she say?" May asked impatiently.

"She told me to stay away from Ash." May nodded her head and thought for a moment. "May, do you think what she said is true? I mean, Ash is pretty popular.. why would he hang around me? I'm not popular-" May cut her off.

"Don't say that! Don't even think it!" May snapped, she had enough of Misty and her groupies. "Don't ever listen to her. She's just jealous because you have Ash now. And Dawn, you already know your not ugly! And I think Ash does like you." Dawn looked at her friend and smiled a bit.

"If he likes me, then why hasn't he told me yet?" Dawn asked. May looked around and then focused her gaze back on Dawn.

"Because, he's so dense he doesn't even know himself." Dawn giggled. "You have nothing to worry about. Don't worry about her. She's a bitch. And I was in breakfast with Ash, he kept talking about you." May looked at her friend and smiled. "So, don't worry about Msty.. we'll get her back somehow." May winked at Dawn and fixed her desk.

"Get her back how? And what did Ash say about me?"

"I don't know yet, but we will and I can't tell you. It's a lot of stuff he said. He told me not to tell you." The brunette smirked as she said this. Dawn rolled her eyes and faced the front of the room when the teacher came in.

"Okay class. Settle down! You had your week off so now it's back to business. Now take out-" The professor stopped talking and pointed to a student trainer who had their hand up. "Question?"

"Yea, why did we have a week off anyway?" The whole class nodded their heads and started carrying on little conversations.

"Quiet down. I'm sorry, but I cannot answer that. We have been told not give any information regarding that. With that said please take out your notebooks and pencils or pens, and copy down these notes." The whole class groaned and did as they were told.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

The first three classes of the school day seem to have taken forever to get through. Throughout the classes, Dawn's mind was on Ash the whole time. Lucky for her it was now lunchtime and she would get to see and talk to him.

"Finally it's lunchtime. Let's go Dawn!" May yanked the blue-haired teen out the classroom, and ran down to the cafeteria trying to dodge the hyper students that were all over the place.

"Gosh May.. I know you like to eat but-" Dawn was trying to catch her breath. "You don't have to rush to lunch everyday. Either way it's gonna be long lines." Dawn looked around at the long lines, filled with students. "Let's go to that one." Dawn pointed to a shorter looking line, it was still long. May shrugged and walked over to the long line with Dawn.

After about 15 minutes of their lunchtime wasted by them standing in line, they finally got their food and went to their usual table. Dawn sat across from May.

"I hate those lines. They take to much time." May didn't hear Dawn complaining because she was tucking into her food. Dawn smiled and rolled her eyes at her hungry friend. Since she wasn't that hungry for school food, she gazed around the large cafeteria trying to catch sight of Ash.

Dawn's mouth turned into a frown when she saw Ash... sitting over at the 'popular' table with Misty and her friends. They were talking about something and Misty was batting her eyes at Ash, making him blush. "May look." May looked up and traced Dawn's eyes to where they were looking at. May's mouth dropped open. "And you said that she was lying..." Dawn rolled her eyes and turned her head away from the table.

"Uh Dawn? Look again.." Dawn ignored her and just looked out one of the cafeteria's windows. May stopped eating and watched what was going on at the table.

...

"Misty just stop! I broke up with you for a reason.." Ash trailed off his sentence and looked around and focused it back on Misty. Before Misty could speak, Giselle butted in.

"For what reason? For that little trick Dawn? What-" Misty shot her a glare that said 'Shutup, I'll handle it.' Giselle rolled her eyes, "Just trying to help." She mumbled. Ash rolled his eyes at her stuck up friends.

"Yea Ash, it's funny you broke up with me right when that little b-" Misty stopped her sentence and bit her bottom lip. "Girl, got here. Do you like her? If you do I don't even know why." Misty looked and Dawn with a disgusted face and looked back at an annoyed looking Ash. "Please Ash, can we get back together? We were in love.. we so perfect for each other. The best couple ever!" Misty smiled cutely at Ash and batted her eyes making him blush. Solidad scoffed.

"Me and Drew were the best couple ever!." Drew was walking up when he heard that. He slowly backed away and bolted out the cafeteria unnoticed by Solidad or anyone else. Daisy rolled her eyes.

"You two didn't even date! He doesn't like you. You actually scare him!" Daisy and Giselle started to giggle. Misty glared at them. Ash was about to get up and walk to Dawn and May, but was stopped when Misty grabbed his arm and yanked him back down.

"Shutup, you almost scared him off." Misty snapped. The three girls rolled their eyes and started to eat.

"They're not the ones scaring me." Ash mumbled. Misty smiled at him.

"What'd you say Ash?" Ash smiled sheepishly.

"Nothing. But anyways Misty, I wasn't really into you that much anymore. Your bossy, stuck up, mean. I was tired of it. And whenever I talked to a girl you get so jealous. What's a relationship without trust? And just because I broke up with you when Dawn got here doesn't mean there's anything going on between us. We're just friends. Something me and you should be." Ash smiled at Misty, who looked mad and sad. Misty didn't say anything for a coupled minutes so Ash decided to get up, he began to talk away before Misty said something.

"Ash I can change! Please just another chance?" Ash shook his head. Solidad, Giselle, and Daisy started laughing to themselves, obviously at Misty's desperation. "Shutup you whores." Misty glared at the. The three beautiful girls shot glares back at her.

Ash walked away, but stopped when he heard Misty say that. "Oh yea, I forgot one thing.. you act like a total bitch." Misty's mouth dropped open and her eyes began to water. Giselle, Daisy, and Solidad looked down at their trays pretending they didn't hear that, when Misty turned back around to face them.

"I-I can't believe he said that.." Misty said a tear coming down her face. Her 'friends' looked up with face surprised facial expressions.

"What did he say?" Daisy asked, pretending she didn't know what he said. Misty glared at her.

"Don't act like you don't know! I know you heard what he said!" She scowled. Another tear rolled down her face. Daisy flinched at the sound of her voice.

"Well.. he wasn't lying." Giselle mumbled loud enough for Misty and the rest to hear. Misty shot her a glare next.

"What'd you say?" Misty gritted her teeth together and wiped away tears from her blue eyes.

"Oh, I think you heard me." Giselle rolled her eyes and got up from the table and walked to the boys table, where Gary was and Paul were. Misty's mouth dropped open.

"Who needs her anyways? She'll be back around. This happened before." Misty crossed her arms and looked at Daisy and Solidad who had scared looks on their faces. You could tell they weren't going anywhere. "Look, I'm getting Ash back! My house today, your going to help me think of a way to get Ash back." Misty smiled at them and stood up from the table. "Throw away my tray for me too." Misty walked out the cafeteria, leaving to girls just sitting there.

"Okay, Ash was so right! She does act like a bitch!" Daisy said crossing her arms. Solidad nodded her head.

"No she is a bitch! I could care less about her relationship with Ash.." Solidad rolled her eyes.

"So, are we going to her house after school today? And do you think Giselle is gonna talk to her again?" Daisy said while messing with her hair.

"We have no choice I guess. And I'm not sure.. maybe she had enough also. I guess we'll find out soon enough." Solidad stood up and picked up her tray and went to dump it, Daisy did the same, leaving behind Misty's tray.

...

Dawn giggled at how Drew just ran out the cafeteria with a scared look on his face.

May smiled when she heard Ash tell Misty she act's like a bitch. "Dawn, Ash is comi- Hey Ash." May smiled at Ash and motioned for him to sit down, which he was going to do anyways. He took a seat by Dawn.

"Hey Dawn." Ash put his hand on her back, making her flinch a bit at his touch. She didn't respond. "Dawn?" No response. "What's wrong with her?" Ash asked normally as if she wasn't right there.

"Uh.. she's mad... at you." Dawn smirked a bit to herself. Ash raised his eyebrows.

"WHAT DID I DO?" He shouted drawing attention to him. May rolled her eyes and palmed her face. "Eh sorry, what did I do?"

"Well.. I know you heard about Misty coming at Dawn this morning. She told Dawn some things. Dawn thought it was true but I told her it's not. And when we sat down, she noticed you were sitting over with Misty and her bitchy friends. You were blushing and Misty was batting her eyes at you or whatever. That lead her to think what Misty said was true, as well as me until I heard what you said to Misty which was too funny!" May finished explaining and looked at Ash who had an unreadable expression on his face.

"Yea I heard about that... but so many different rumors are going around about that I don't know what's true. So what did she say?" Ash angrily said. May smiled and looked at Dawn.

"Ask Dawn." Dawn cursed secretely at her friend.

"Uh Dawn? What did Misty say? I can assure you whatever she said is no where near true." Dawn sighed and turned around to face Ash. He smiled seeing her beautiful face.

"She said uh...your just hanging around me to make her jealous. And and you still want her. And she told me to stay away from you." Ash furrowed his eyebrows and clenched his fist.

"Dawn, I hope you don't believe any of that! I don't want her at all! I broke up with her for a reason! And I hang around you because... I love being around you. Your nice, sweet, beautiful, and very fun to be around. If you did decide to stay away from me then... I don't know what I'd do." Dawn smiled at him and threw her arms around his neck, making him blush. He smiled and hugged her back. Some students noticed the two embracing and smiled while some fangirls of Ash, glared at Dawn wishing it was them instead.

May cleared her throat, startling them into breaking apart. "Hey Dawn, you left out the part where Misty said Ash doesn't like you." A smirk appeared on her face and Ash suddenly went red. "That isn't true.. right Ash?"

"Uh..well.. I..er." Ash lost his words. He didn't know what to say. Of course it's not true.. or it is? He doesn't even know.(A/N Ash is so dense -_-) The bell rung signalling lunch was over and it was time for the last class of the day. "Thank you bell!" Ash thought to himself.

The three got up and took their trays to dump them. "Well don't you two have art today?"May smiled when she asked. Dawn and Ash nodded. "Well then, I'll see you two later. Bye." May went in a different direction from Ash and Dawn.

"Well, come on Ash." Dawn grabbed Ash's hand lead him to art class. When they got to the class the teacher was standing at the door greeting his students. When Ash and Dawn walked through the door he smiled at how they were holding hands, but he didn't know it met nothing.

"A couple now? You make a great one." Dawn quickly let go of Ash's hand and blushed, as well as Ash.

"Oh no. You have it all wrong." Ash said while waving his arms in front of him. The teacher smiled and nodded his head. Dawn and Ash awkwardly walked to their desk, not saying a word to each other.

"Okay class, today we're going to watch a movie on the different artist around the world. Your not getting off easy, take out your notebook and a pen. You have to write notes while the video is going. I will collect them at the end of class." He smirked as the class groaned and took out their needed things. He walked over to the light switch and flicked it, making the lights go off. Then, he walked over to the DVD played and put in the movie.

"This is so boring." Ash whispered to Dawn making her giggle cutely. "How do we know what to write?" Ash sat the pen down on his desk and leaned back in his chair, with his hands behind his head. Dawn rolled her eyes and pushed his chair down.

"You're going to do your work Ash!" Dawn smiled and handed Ash his pen. "Now write." Ash sighed and copied what Dawn had on her paper so far. Dawn noticed this and moved away her paper. "Write your own notes Ash." She smiled and Ash sighed.

"Fine.. your the first person to make me do my work." Dawn giggled at her success and began writing and listening to the boring movie.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

"Okay, class that was the bell. You can go and on the way out hand me your papers." Everybody jumped out of their seats and ran out the door, throwing their papers at the art teacher.

Dawn and Ash went to their lockers, which were right across from each other. Gary, Paul, and Drew were standing around his locker.

"Hey Dawn.. how did art go?" May asked while opening her locker and placing her books in there. Dawn closed her locker and faced her.

"Good. I made Ash do his work. That's all that happened." Dawn smiled innocently at May.

"Teaching your future lover.. so cute." May giggled and walked over to the other side of the hallway where the boys were. Dawn followed.

"Hey Drew." May smiled and threw her arms around Drew's neck and kissed him on the lips. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed back. Everybody's mouth dropped open. What in the world was going on them with those two?

...

"Oh no she didn't!" Solidad, who was a few lockers down, was about to storm over there to them but was pulled back by Misty.

"Come on, we have more important things to worry about like getting Ash back." Misty smiled dreamily and pulled Solidad out of the building with Daisy behind them.

...

May broke the kiss the looked into Drew's green eyes. Paul coughed breaking them out of their trance. "What?" Drew asked with a smirk on his face.

"UH.. is there something were like.. missing?" Dawn asked. Ash and Gary nodded their heads. May blushed and looked back at Drew.

"Oh, were together now. I forgot to tell you Dawn." Everybody sweatsropped.

"Yea, you forgot to tell us to Drew." Ash as he leaned on a locker.

"How could you forget to tell me? That's big May! Awww I can't believe you two are finally dating!" May squealed and pushed Drew out of the way to hug her friend. May squealed with Dawn and they began walking out the doors, talking about how they got together. The boys watched them leave with dumb looks on their face.

"Bye Dawn!" Ash yelled. Dawn waved her hand in the air.

"What the hell just happened?" Gary asked as he watched the girls walk out the school. Paul shrugged and shook his head.

"Well Drew, tell us what happend!" Ash said. Drew smirked and flipped his hair before beginning his story.

"Yesterday, I went over to her house. We stayed there for a little bit but her little brother kept popping up so we left and went for a walk. I took her to the park, the one with the real nice lake. We were talking and she told me she had to tell me something. She looked nervous, so I was nervous believe it or not. Then she told me she liked me and she kissed me. So uh, after that. We walked back to her house and when we got there... I asked her if she wanted to be my girlfriend. She said yea and we kissed again before she went in. I swear I love her. I've been waiting for this for ever! All my roses, cards, and poems all paid off." Drew smirked and looked at his friends who had their mouth hanging open. "Why are you surprised?" He asked them but got no reply.

Gary shook his head to get the shock expression off his face then he turned to face Ash with a smirk on his face, followed by Paul and Drew. They were all thinking the same thing.

"What? Why you looking at me like that?" He tried to back away but he couldn't since his back was on the locker.

"Now that Drew has his girl, time to get yours." Gary said with a grin on his face. Ash started to blush knowing who they were referring to.

"Yea Ash, when are you gonna get over your self and tell her how you feel?" Drew asked while stuffing his hands in his pockets and flipping his hair. Ash's blush deepend.

"I uh.. don't like-" Gary stopped his sentence right there.

"Ash don't even try to deny it. We all know you like her. And plus the blush on your face tells it all."

"Okay okay.. I do like her!" Ash finally admitted he liked Dawn. His face started to turn an even brighter red.

"No, more like love!" Paul teased, earning chuckles from Gary and Drew and a Glare from Ash.

"I don't love her.. that I do know. I just like her a whole lot.. maybe close to love." Ash admitted.

"So, ask her out." Drew suggested. Ash shrugged his shoulders and began to walk, with the boys following him.

"She doesn't like me.." Drew, Gary, and Paul fell to the floor and got up.

"ASH YOUR SO FUCKING DENSE!" Drew yelled. Ash was about to retort but gary said something.

"Ash, she likes you man."

"You think so?" Ash asked as he pushed the door open. Drew and Paul nodded their heads.

"We know so.. now ask her out tomorrow." Gary said. Ash smiled and nodded his head.

"Not tomorrow, I'll do it wednesday."

"Fine, but why not tomorrow?" Drew asked.

"Uh.. because, I'm not ready yet."Ash nervously said. Gary, Drew, and Paul just shrugged.

"Well.. okay Ash, don't forget Wednesday! See you guys tomorrow" Drew waved them off and walked to his car.

"You two riding with me?" Gary asked Paul and Ash. They nodded and walked with Gary to his car.
