Leaf nodded and took his hand as they walked out of her room and down the hall to the shrieking bluenette, not noticing the victorious smirk on the boy's face.

'I knew this would work...'

---

"So..." Ash began as lay flat on his stomach with his arms beneath his chin "What do you think they're talking about?" the carpeted floor of Dawn's room was extremely soft – like it was brand new – and although he was curious, he had no intention of getting up.

"I don't know" Misty answered simply, but then turned her gaze towards Drew, who was sitting cross-legged next to Ash with his back leaning against the wall. "But I want to know what you were talking about when you said you found a pregnancy test in Leaf's clutch".

While the boys sat on the floor, the girls were spread out over Dawn's king-sized bed. They were in the exact same positions as the boys respectively. Misty was sitting up straight with her legs crossed like Drew's, in the middle of the bed while May next to her lying on her stomach exactly like Ash except her legs were crossed over each other in the air.

"Me too" the brunette also turned her gaze to Drew who turned to face Ash and then back to the girls, when the raven-haired boy nodded.

"Well, it's pretty much exactly as it sounded" he shrugged "I found a pregnancy test...sorry, my bad...a positive pregnancy test in Leaf's clutch"

"You went through her clutch!" Misty exclaimed "How dare you!"

"That's a total invasion of privacy Drew!" May glared

"Yeah Drew" Ash joined in "That's a total invasion of privacy"

"Shutup Ketchum" Drew growled "It's not like you tried to stop me"

"Quit arguing" Paul spoke with annoyance clear in both in his expression and tone of voice "I already have a headache, you're making it worse" he looked up from his position on the floor and sighed before turning to the girls "There was a pregnancy test in Leaf's clutch, Gary got pissed off, he went to talk to Leaf about it and for some reason she called Dawn...most likely she knows something about it". With that he went back to lying on his back with his hands under his head and one leg bent upwards while the other lay flat on the floor. He was eyeing a small post-it-note that was stuck to the ceiling of the bluenette's room – four letters, each with a respective number underneath it.

"Heh" Drew snorted "I forgot you were even here" he began to chuckle but then stopped when no one laughed with him.

"This isn't funny Drew" Ash scolded "Who knows what could be going on with Leaf"

"Why are you butting in anyway?" the green-haired boy responded "It has nothing to do with us...we might as well talk about something else and wait for Dawn to come and tell us herself...it's not like we can go and spy again with her espeon guarding the door"

"He has a point" Paul spoke – not moving an inch from his position this time.

"Yeah?" Ash raised an eyebrow "What do we talk about?"

"The fact that we all thought you were gay" Drew replied simply

"WHAT!"

"It's true" he shrugged nonchalantly "I mean, all of us have had girlfriends in the past – even Paul...except you" he then smirked "We were actually starting to think you were gay or something" the entire room except Ash burst into laughter – even Paul had an amused expression on his face.

"I AM NOT GAY!" the lyricist growled "I just didn't want to date any of those girls because they were annoying!"

"Mmhmm...Sure Ash, whatever floats your boat"

"IT'S TRUE!"

"Now, maybe"

Ash narrowed his eyes and stood up abruptly, walked over to Dawn's wardrobe and searched through it until he found the desired item. "Look!" he yelled as he held it up "See this! It interests me!" he shoved the white lacy bra into Drew's face and shouted again "It turns me on Drew...I'm pretty sure that means I'm not ahomo!"

Drew was about to respond when he heard footsteps coming down the hall...a mischievous grin graced his features as an idea formed "Why don't you prove it?" he smirked "Put it on your head and say it three times"

"Fine!" Drew tried to stifle his laughter; he knew that when Ash was trying to prove something, he'd do anything to make himself look right. The black-haired boy clasped the bra on top his head and proceeded to prove himself correct "I'm not a homo! I'm not homo! I'm not a ho-"

Before he could finish his final statement, a loud shriek was heard from the doorway "ASH KETCHUM TAKE MY BRA OFF YOUR HEAD RIGHT NOW!"

"DAWN!"

"TAKE IT OFF!"

"I CAN EXPL-"

"NOW!"

He immediately pulled the undergarment off of his head and threw it onto the bed – narrowly missing May – and started to walk towards the fuming bluenette "Calm down Dawn, there's a perfectly good explanation for all of thi-AH!" before he could continue, Dawn shoved him backwards roughly, causing him to fall on top of Drew who was rolling on the floor in laughter.

"HAHA-OW!" he cried out in pain before pushing the boy off him "GET OFF!" before he could continue his rant, Dawn continued to rage, although her voice had lowered slightly.

"How dare you!" she narrowed her eyes into slits "Don't you ever go through my clothes again!" he nodded vigorously and scrambled to his feet.

"I'm sorry Dawn, just let me explain! Drew kept saying that I was gay and-"

"So you went through my closet, took out one of my favourite bras, put it on your head and started dancing around like a fool saying" she deepened her voice to try and imitate him "'I'm not a homo, I'm not a homo' that is so immature!" she rolled her eyes "Why would you believe Drew of all people anyway...you know he's just a retard"

"Hey!" the boy in question glared as he stood up "Well this 'retard'" he used his fingers as quotation marks to show that he was being sarcastic "is dating one of your best friends"

"Really?" Dawn, Misty and May all called out at the same time

"I didn't know we were dating" May held a curious expression and Drew slapped a hand to his head before rolling his eyes and speaking with sarcasm.

"No, I was just joking...we're just friends with benefits, that's why we made out in your room before"

"I knew you two were making out!" Dawn pointed at Drew then at May in accusation while her face held an amused expression

"Who was making out?" All six faces turned to see Leaf and Gary hand-in-hand standing by the door frame.

"Oh boy..." Gary rolled his eyes as he let go of Leaf's hand "Here we go..."

"Come on!" Leaf ran into the bluenette's room and started jumping up and down "Tell me!"

"May and Drew" Dawn winked before giggling at Leaf's expression. May had turned a bright pink and her face away from the others and Drew kept a smug look on his features. Ash sat on the floor somewhat clueless while Paul seemed to be tuning out the entire conversation and not noticing Misty staring at him intently. Gary allowed a smirk to grace his lips and winked at Drew who winked back, both were unnoticed by the others, obviously their plan had begun to work – finally.

"So..." Misty turned away from Paul and looked up at Leaf and Dawn "You gonna tell us what's going on?"

"Oh" Leaf and Dawn stopped laughing and everyone else stopped what they were doing, awaiting a reply from the dark haired brunette "Yeah, sure why not?"

With that both Dawn and Leaf began to explain everything they had said to Gary, from why they had disappeared, their meeting with Sora, what she explained to them and then the next morning and finally how annoyed they were at the boys for not only going through their clutches but also jumping to conclusions and making false accusations.

"Wait." Ash spoke "Then why did you look so sick in the morning and why did you throw up more than usual" he raised an eyebrow and Leaf rolled her eyes. She was currently seated in Gary's lap on the bed and was leaning back casually while he had his arms wrapped around her waist.

"Because" she began in an obvious tone "I drank much more than usual, therefore I threw up more and had an even worse hangover than usual"

"I guess..." He responded, still not entirely convinced

"Well anyway" Dawn intervened before anything else could happen "You guys know the story, we've gotten our clutches back and I'm not sure about all of you. But I really need a nap"

They nodded in agreement and began to make their way out of Dawn's room, but stopped abruptly when they heard Gary's voice.

"Hey! These photos are from the sports day aren't they?" All seven figures turned to the image of Gary pointing at the different photos of them stuck on one of the walls in Dawn's room "And this one is from when we went to the beach...Damn, you even have the photo of our going away party!"

"Wow Dawn, where'd you get these from?" Ash questioned as he looked through the different photos, blushing slightly when he saw the picture of him with his arms around the bluenette's waist at the going away party.

"Well, they were taken from my camera remember?"

"Oh." Was the only response she got as he was too intrigued by the wave of nostalgia that washed over him.

"I remember this one!" Drew smiled as he looked at the photo of him holding May on his back, next Ash who was holding Dawn "That was when we were playing chicken and of course" his smile grew to a smirk "I won"

"You mean we won" May raised an eyebrow as she walked over to him "Technically I did, I mean I was the one doing all the work...all you did was hold me up"

"Hey, that was work...do you have any idea how heavy you are?" May knew he was only joking but whacked his arm regardless – a playful glare present on her face.

"Not that I'm trying to make you all leave" Dawn began "But how long are you going to be? I really need a nap" she yawned to prove her point. She flopped on her bed and closed her eyes "I'm just going to sleep anyway, please don't wake me up" and with that, she was asleep.

While the others continued to look at the different pictures, something shiny caught Gary's eye. He quietly walked over and pulled out a small, teal coloured book with the words 'My Diary' written in sparkly, silver cursive at the top and then at the bottom was 'Dawn'.

'This could be interesting...' he thought to himself before carefully taking it out of its place and hiding it underneath his shirt. He then turned back to the others and spoke softly "Hey guys, come on, I think we should probably leave" They nodded and headed out of the bluenette's room, making their way downstairs and to the door. The girls – excluding Dawn – followed them so they could say goodbye.

"Thanks for returning our clutches" May smiled sweetly

"Even if you did go through them and jump to dumb conclusions" Leaf glared but it was also clear that she had forgiven them.

"Bye guys!" Misty said a little too cheerfully. Before anyone could question her, she ran inside and up the stairs to her room.

"Oh-kay...then" Leaf said slowly while raising an eyebrow

"Eh, it's probably the hangover talking" Gary stated quickly while shrugging "We should probably get going, Dawn's not the only one that needs to sleep" In reality, he just wanted to get back home so he could read the diary...who knew what kind of secrets were hidden in there. He pecked Leaf on the lips and winked at her before walking into the car, swiftly followed by Paul and then Ash who gave a quick goodbye. Drew however, lingered at the door.

"So, we're dating?" May asked in a shy voice

"Guess we are" the remaining boy leaned down and lifted her chin up before placing his lips on hers in a quick, chaste kiss before pulling away. He tucked a piece of hair behind her ear and then put his hands in his pockets before giving a two-finger salute and then walking back to the car where the others were already waiting.

Once they were out of sight, Leaf closed the door and gave May a smirk "So, you and Drew huh?"

"So, you and Gary huh?" May imitated the fellow brunette's words, only changing the name "Can you really believe this? They started off as a tool in our plan to get Ash and Dawn together, and now we've gotten together with them?"

Leaf nodded "I know right, I never thought that I'd be with Gary of all people...I mean, he always acted like such a player and a pervert back at the academy, but now he's just a pervert...I never saw him flirt with any other girl but me ever since we came here"

"I know..." May replied "It's so weird-"

"Hey, what's that in your hair?" Leaf pointed to the section of her hair that was above her ear and May lifted up her hand, feeling something soft hanging there. She pulled it out and blushed when she saw a thornless, red rose infront of her.

"Wow..." was all she could say. He must've put it there when he went to tuck the piece of hair behind her ear."I thought he'd forgotten about the roses he used to give me" Drew used to give her roses all the time at the academy to 'apologise' for making her mad, but that was two years ago and she was sure that there was no way he'd remember. "Guess I was wrong"

"Oh that's so sweet!" Leaf giggled "Come on, let's go put it in a vase and then we should go get some sleep" May nodded, still somewhat surprised as she was led into the kitchen. Before she knew it, she was back in her room with the rose – sitting in a transparent turquoise vase – on the window sill so it could be fed by both the sun and water. She fell back onto her bed and allowed her eyes to droop closed and fall into a deep slumber

---

Gary scrambled inside his room and shut the door with a loud 'Slam' before jumping onto his bed and pulling out the diary from under his shirt "Hmm, now let's see what little Dawn has to hide from the world"

"What do you mean 'what little dawn has to hide from the world'? The brunette's head shot up and he turned to see Ash, Drew and Paul all at his door, raised eyebrows and slightly annoyed expressions. Ash, who had spoken, walked forward and snatched the book from Gary's grasp before taking a look. His eyes widened in surprise and then narrowed into slits as he gave the spiky haired boy a death glare "You stole her diary!"

"More like borrowed" he defended "I'm gonna give it back – just as soon as I read it"

"That's low Gary...even for you" Paul remarked before also entering the room. Drew followed carefully, trying his best not to cringe at the disgusting mess that was Gary's room.

"Why would you care what Dawn has to say anyway? Wouldn't you be more interested in Leaf?" the green-haired boy raised an eyebrow and Gary rolled his eyes

"Yeah but I found Dawn's diary...not Leaf's" he explained "Besides, I'm sure she has something to say about all of us...wouldn't you like to know?" he then turned specifically to Ash "Don't you want to know what Dawn has to say about you? What she thinks about you? What she likes...what she hates?"

"...yeah...but" he hesitated, thinking of a good excuse "How are you going to get into it? It's locked" he pointed to the security pin on the side of the diary where normally a key would be.

"Damn" Gary took the object out of Ash's hands "She really doesn't want people reading it, these security lock diary's are expensive..."

"How do you know that?" Drew raised an eyebrow but the brunette rolled his eyes

"I have a sister remember? She made me buy one for her" he grumbled at the memory of losing almost two hundred dollars on a diary for his sister. "It took a big chunk out of my wallet too"

"Yeah, but Daisy's hot" Drew smirked

"Daisy's a spoilt brat!" Gary glared

"Isn't Daisy one of Misty's sister's names?" Paul raised an eyebrow and the others nodded

"Yup...I didn't think it was a very common name but obviously, I was proved wrong" the brunette then turned back to the diary "So...any of you guys have an idea of what the pin might be? It's only four numbers"

"Maybe it's her name?" Ash offered but Gary raised an eyebrow and Drew slapped him upside the head

"How stupid are you?" Drew scolded "As if it would be something that easy! She doesn't want people getting in, remember?"

"Why don't you try it anyway? I mean, who knows...maybe she wants us to think that so she picked something easy" the two boys shrugged and Gary proceeded to punch in the numbers corresponding to Dawn's name – 3,2,9,6

The small pad glowed red and began to beep – indicating it was incorrect

"Or maybe she knew that someone would be stupid enough to think that!" Gary glared 'We only have two tries left, after that it'll want a voice confirmation so you better think of something good"

"You've tried to read your sisters diary before haven't you?" Paul raised an eyebrow

"How'd you know?"

"How else would you know so much about it? Unless you have one yourself"

"Why the hell would I keep some stupid prissy diary?" The others shrugged and went back to looking at the security lock "What could it be?"

"Heh, maybe it has something to do with Ash" Drew joked but then stopped when he realised he was probably right "infact, it probably does...give me that" he took the diary off Gary and studying the different letters underneath the numbers on the pass lock.

"There should be an 'A' in it somewhere..." Gary stated as he too studied the diary "It's probably something cheesy like 'dawn loves ash forever'" he snickered but Ash slapped him on the side of the head

"How does that work? It's obviously more than four letters or numbers or whatever"

"Use the first letter of each word nimrod..." Gary rolled his eyes while rubbing the side of his head "D,L,A,F...or in numbers 3,5,2,3" Drew nodded and punched in the numbers but received the same result.

"We only have one chance left..." the brunette groaned before taking the diary back of Drew "Come on man; I wanna know what's in there!"

"I can't believe you want to read Dawn's inner most personal thoughts!" Ash growled "It's private, that's why diaries are locked! She'll never forgive you if she finds out...she'll never forgive me!"

"Quit whining!" Drew slapped him on the back "You probably want to know more than any of us...after all, she is your girlfriend and if anything, she'll have things about you written in here more than anyone else"

Ash groaned and sat down on the bed, crossing his arms over his shoulders...he knew that if Dawn ever found out, regardless of who took her diary, she would kill him more than anyone else.

"What could it be?" Gary questioned out loud before feeling the book be lifted out of his hands "Hey!" he turned to see Paul holding the diary and punching in numbers "Paul wait! That's our last cha-"He stopped when he saw the pad turn green and a small 'click' noise was heard. "How'd you-"

"I saw the combination on a post-it-note on Dawn's ceiling when I was lying on the floor" he answered simply. Just as Gary was about to take the diary, the plum-haired boy moved it out of his reach

"Hey! Come on, give me!"

"Why should I?" He snapped the book shut and the lock turned back on "After everything Dawn's done for us...you want to invade her privacy?"

"She hasn't done anything yet" Drew shrugged "Well...technically she has, but it hasn't taken effect yet, so it's kind of like she hasn't done anything" he then snatched the book out of Paul's hands and jumped onto the bed next to Ash but instantly stood up "Ugh...this room stinks Gary!"

"Hey!"

"I'm leaving!" the green-eyed boy walked out of the room and headed towards his own, closely followed by Ash and Gary. Paul let out a long sigh and rolled his eyes before also following them to Drew's room. "See, this is so much better" he smiled in content "Atleast you can breathe clean air"

"Shutup Drew" Gary sweat dropped in annoyance before turning to Paul "Can you tell us the combination already?"

"No." He deadpanned

"Do you want me to tell the world that the cold and quiet Paul is really hungry for a girl called Misty?" the brunette gave a mischievous smirk

"WHAT!" Paul's eyes widened in surprise and his expression showed true fear before he composed himself and punched in the correct pin "Here."

"Thankyou" he snatched the book out of Paul's hands and laid on his stomach on Drew's bed "Okay, now let's see what our sweet, innocent, little Dawn has to hide" Ash and Drew joined him, making sure to get a good view of the book and Paul also reluctantly sat down. "Let's start with entry number one:

Date: 1st March 2003

Dear Diary,

Umm...Hi?

Mum said that keeping a diary would be good since I'm starting 'a new adventure' *eye roll* going to a boarding school...my mistake...a 'prestigious academy' doesn't sound like much of an adventure to me, it just sounds like being locked up like swablu in a cage :(

It's so unfair! I was doing so well on my pokémon journey! I already had three ribbons and was just about to get my fourth but then mum calls me and tells me I got accepted here! -.-'

'Mesprit Academy for the gifted'

I mean...it's not that I don't like it here...I just don't want to be here now...I somehow got accepted on an arts scholarship. I swear my mum probably sent those videos of my ballet recitals and other dance performances! And she must've sent in those videos she took of me doing mock 'appeals' with Piplup! Ughh...I can't believe her!

Well...enough of the bad things...time for some good :)

This school is really big and the dorm rooms are huge! Then again, they're designed for four people...I know what you're thinking (if you could think XD)...how can four girls fit in a dorm? Well there's one main common room and then four separate bedrooms, this school must cost a fortune D: lucky me for getting a scholarship...if I wanted to be here that is.

On the bright side I met my childhood friend Leaf here! We used to go to the same dance school when we were like five! And we were best friends, she lives in Sandgem Town while I'm from Twinleaf ^^ well anyways, guess what! We even get to be in the same dorm room together and have the same classes! It's so coincidental...a little too 'coincidental' if you ask me...Our mum's probably set this up -.- as annoying as it is...at least I'm not alone anymore :)

There are two other girls here too, one of them is from the Kanto region in Cerulean City...her names Misty and apparently she's the gym leader there :o seems like a pretty big responsibility for a ten year old – she has bright orange hair but it's really short so she keeps it in this one-sided ponytail. In my opinion, even though it's short...it would look so much better let down – if only she'd agree.

The other girl is May, she's from Petalburgh City in the Hoenn region...and she really loves bandana's =o its kinda funny actually XD i saw her unpacking her suitcase and she has this section completely dedicated to her different bandana's...it actually sounds like something I'd do :p She has light-brown hair that she keeps in pigtails and of course her 'bandana' on top...she has deep blue eyes, just like me :D

You know...I should probably give you a password :o hmm...I'll put one in as soon as I think of it...till then I'll just hide you away somewhere :D

Well anyway, moving on about the school...

Mesprit Academy is all girls, and we're in Jubilife City so I'm not too far from home :)...over in Hearthome City is 'Azelf Academy for the gifted' and that one's all boys...hopefully cute boys ^-~ and then there's another one near Snowpoint City called 'Uxie Academy' there's no 'for the gifted' included and it's co-ed so my thoughts...and also what I've been told is that Uxie is for the rejects...those who can't get accepted to Mesprit or Azelf go to Uxie instead.

Nice, they named the schools after the lake trio legendary pokémon...so original (that was sarcasm by the way)

I wonder if they'd believe me if I told them that Piplup and I saw the silhouette of Mesprit back at Lake Verity...When I went to catch Piplup after he ran away from Professor Rowan's lab...we ran into a bunch of Ariados along the way x_x that was a very traumatic experience and I officially hate spider pokémon!

"Okay this is boring!" Gary turned the pages until he could find something more interesting to read

"Be careful Gary!"Ash yelled "You'll tear the pages!" he then became indulged in his own thoughts 'She saw Mesprit? I saw Azelf when I first came here...maybe it means something?' he was brought out of his thoughts by a slap on the back.

"Relax Ashy-boy...I won't damage your girlfriend's diary...damn this first entry is like ten pages long!" he then stopped and smirked "Oohh...I saw my name, let's read this one:

Date: 15th March 2003

Dear Diary,

I know, it's been like two weeks since I wrote to you hasn't it? Sorry! Mesprit Academy has just been so tough :( because we have to make sure we stay at the top...and that's not an easy task...ughh there's this stupid girl called Ursula who's so stuck up! And then there's another one called Zoey...she's not stuck up but she kinda freaks me out a little...don't get me wrong, she's a nice person and all but well...yeah~

"Wasn't Ursula the chick that wrote that dumb article?" Drew raised an eyebrow and the others thought before nodding their heads.

"Well, I guess that explains the hatred in the comments...damn, she's an evil woman" Gary stated before turning back to the diary entry.

There are these other girls too, Brianna and Melody...they're such pain in the necks! Brianna tends to annoy May a lot more than Leaf, Misty or I but she's still a brat regardless and Melody...well she's just way too in love with herself...same with Ursula, she's so full of herself and she thinks her plusle and minun are better than Piplup and Buneary and all my other pokémon! Well whatever...she is badly mistaken!

On a different note...I finally met the Azelf boys today –

"Finally! Something good!"

"Shutup Gary" Drew glared before continuing to read

-Most of them are so cute! There are the few that aren't really very high in the looks department but are still really kind...there's this freako called Conway though *shudders* he scares me so much! The way his glasses shone in the light and the way he spoke...he seems like such a creep o_o

There's this other guy called Lucas...he's pretty nice but there's just something about him...I can't pinpoint it but there's something about him that I don't like =/

Ughh, I saw Kenny again == he's been accepted to Azelf Academy...just my luck – I'm probably gonna have to see his ugly face a lot now...as if Kindergarten wasn't bad enough with his stupid 'Dee Dee' crap! I swear; if he ever calls me that again I'll break his face! =.= and then when we were eight! That stupid jerk! He still hasn't apologised to me for what he did! I just want to murder him! I hate him so much! –

"Wow...Dawn really hates Kenny doesn't she?" Ash seemed surprised but Drew simply rolled his eyes

"What was your first clue?"

"Yeah" Gary nodded "Didn't you notice whenever she saw him she'd tense up and always looked like she wanted to murder him" the black haired boy shrugged before turning back to the book

– I also saw Barry again! I haven't seen him since we were eight! He's still the same old crazy boy that keeps bumping into people and claiming to 'fine' them for it XD ah that boy's a riot...but he's still one of my best friends :) and he's the one that tried to kill Kenny for what he did to me :p

And I met four of the cutest boys ever! Well, really all of us met them...after all, Leaf, Misty and May were there with me =)

Anyways Ash, Gary, Drew and Paul...I love their names! *o* although Gary kind of reminds me of the snail in Spongebob Squarepants XD -

"HOW COULD I REMIND HER OF A SNAIL!" The brunette raged while the others laughed

"Maybe because Spongebob's snail's name is Gary?" Ash answered – an amused expression etched onto his features. Gary narrowed his eyes and continued to read

- Well anyway, they were really nice...I'm so relieved that Drew and Paul are here though! FINALLY! Some other people with unusual hair colours! :D Everyone used to say I was weird for having blue hair but now there are other guys to show that there's nothing wrong with having strange hair colours :) Drew's hair is chartreuse green and it's so pretty *o* I want that boy's hair! It looks so soft! I'm so tempted to run my hands through it and see if it's as silky as it looks...no doubt he spends like two hours in the morning just to fix his hair *eye roll* he looks like the type...I wonder if he's gay? :o

"GAY!" Drew shouted "HOW THE HELL COULD SHE THINK I WAS GAY!" his eyes were wider than dinner plates and his face had turned red while the other boys were clutching their stomachs from laughter

"To be...fair" Ash spoke through laughs "You...do act...like...a gay person sometimes"

"I DO NOT!"

They had managed to control their laughter and ignored the boy's cries of outrage as they continued to read.

Paul has shoulder-length purple hair...the way his bangs come into his face, it kind of gives him this spooky look...like he's a demon or something o.o he has this really scary stony expression as well...but I'm sure that he's a pretty nice guy...if I can be brave enough to get to know him better – just from his looks I can tell he's the complete opposite of me, so I'm not sure if we'll get along =/

Drew and Gary were slightly stuck up and I can tell they have a huge ego...Ash seems like such a sweetheart, but he never talked to me :( he just said hi and then started talking to Paul...and Paul...well he was really quiet but I can tell he's a nice guy...he just needs to talk a little more =/ he just nodded his head at me and talked with Ash...what is with these boys? Drew was having fun annoying May...he kept calling her an airhead XD that was funny! Those two are so getting married someday!

Gary was the only one that talked me =/ I mean, I kind of wanted to get to know them all but they were so caught up in other things that they pretty much ignored me :(...Drew I can understand and Paul seemed like the quiet type anyway, but what was up with Ash? I actually thought that was pretty rude == but whatever...at least Gary talked to me :)

"Yeah Paul...you need to talk a little more" Gary remarked before getting flicked on the back of his head "Ow...take a joke man!" he then returned to the entry.

I don't know why but I feel kind of attracted to him...that bad boy persona of his...his whole 'playboy' thing...I just can't help but want to know him better. I think I might like him =/ that's not a good thing is it?

Leaf's calling me so I'd better go...you know? Mum was right...writing down my feelings in here really does make me feel a lot better :)

Until next time~

Xx..~Dawn~..xX

"Dawn used to have a crush on you!" Ash exclaimed...his voice filled with both surprise and anger "I can't believe this!"

"Dude...chill" Gary raised an eyebrow "This was like nine years ago!" although it was barely noticeable, the boy appeared to be slightly nervous...like he knew something that they didn't – and really didn't want them to find out. 'I completely forgot about all this! Shit!' he thought to himself before glancing through the book for any other signs of things he would regret...maybe this wasn't such a great idea after all.

Ash took a deep breath before relaxing his posture slightly "Alright fine...but I wanna see a new entry" He took the book and turned the page, skipping a few of the entries until he reached one that was now two years ahead of the last one.

Date: July 25th 2005

Dear Diary,

How long has it been? Like 6 months? A year? Wow, I really don't use you enough do I? :o well...at least you'll last me longer :)

Today was such a weird day! We had our annual sports festival thing and it was Boys versus Girls...needless to say...us girls ruled! :D we beat them at the track run, the hurdle races and also the pokémon contest – Misty beat everyone in the track run, Leaf won the hurdle races and May was completely speechless when she won the pokémon contest – after all, she beat Drew...she's never beaten him before, Yay May! :D

The boys however won the tug-of-war, the pie-eating/ pokémon food-eating contest...the pokémon and its trainer that ate the most food win...what kind of a stupid game is that? And what do you expect when it's Ash and his Snorlax! Snorlax's eat like five kilos a second and Ash eats like a Snorlax himself! *eye roll*

"Hey! I do not eat like a Snorlax!"

"Yeah, but you used to!" Drew laughed before it turned to a smirk "Good thing you've learnt to control that hunger aye?"

"With all that training we went through, I had too" Ash whined "Non-stop singing and dancing practice and recordings and stage training...I barely got to eat at all!" he face-vaulted and tears fell from his eyes while the others sweat-dropped. Good ol' Ash.

"Whatever, let's keep reading"

And they also won the pokémon battle...It was Paul versus some girl...I forgot her name – um...I think it was Trina? Short for Katrina or something but yeah, she lost big time – her Hippopotas was no match for his Elekid and he was the one with the disadvantage! D: damn...that boy has skill

But you know what happened during the tie-breaker? It was me against Lucas on this giant plastic beam that was up in the air, underneath a big pool of water. We had to use flying type pokémon and battle each other while we fought ourselves – well I dunno if it can be called fighting...because we had these big rods made of some kind of material with two big cylinder shapes on the end that were made of the same material...they didn't hurt at all. I'm pretty sure the objective is obvious...try to knock the other person into the water. Same with the pokémon, if one of the pokémon managed to knock out the other then it was an instant out for the trainer of the pokémon, and same if one of the trainers fell off the beam, the pokémon was instantly out too.

I used Togekiss and he used his Staravia...I was winning against Lucas; he couldn't even hit me once! My years of dancing definitely paid off :p but Togekiss wasn't doing so well against Staravia...he's really trained it well =/

It turned into a tie...kind of, Togekiss was knocked out the same time I managed to knock Lucas off the beam, but when I tried to catch Togekiss before she fell to the ground, I slipped. I was falling away from the water as well...right onto the ground D: but someone ran over and caught me!

Guess whose arms I landed in?

Gary's! *o* he's like my knight in shining armour!

That was so sweet of him! He actually ran over to catch me, there were other people nearby but he came to my rescue ^-^

"Knight in shining armour?" Ash's eyes were narrowed into slits and if the term 'looks can kill' were true...Gary would already be ten feet under.

"Hey! It's not my fault! I didn't tell her to write that...besides, what was I supposed to do? Let her hit the ground and possibly break her back?" he grabbed the diary and hid it behind his back "Let's not read this anymore okay?"

"Why?" Drew raised an eyebrow. He tried to take the book off Gary but missed and ended up falling on the floor "Ow!" he looked up, rubbing his head and glared "There's something in there isn't it? Something you don't want us to know"

"What are you talking about? There's nothing in here that I don't want you to see...Ash is just getting pissed off because Dawn apparently had a crush on me nine years ago" he rolled his eyes

"Yeah and it lasted for two years...maybe more if we keep reading" the raven-haired boy's voice was deadly

"Would you stop acting jealous? This is old news! Yeah okay, Dawn had a crush on me for a few years...had a crush! She loves you now!"

"I'm not jealous" Ash's voice had returned to normal and he pouted and then looked up at Gary and sighed "Okay, I won't get angry anymore"

"Yeah, I still don't think we should keep reading" the brunette sweat dropped and held onto the diary more tightly...he was pretty sure the next few entries would not be good. "After all, it is an invasion of privacy; I mean you saw what happened with the clutches today" before he knew what was happening, the book had disappeared from his hands and was now in the hands of Ash.

"No, I wanna know more"

"Ash seriously!"

"I'm being serious too!"

"Fine..." the brunette uncharacteristically gave in...Maybe he'd get lucky and nothing would be in there regarding 'certain things'...although it was highly unlikely.

"Hmm...This one looks interesting" Drew pointed to an entry that was not too far from the previous and began to read it.

Date: 14th August 2005

Dear Diary,

You will not believe what happened today! I honestly think this has been one of the best days of my life! :D I feel so happy that even Ursula's stupid words won't get to me! Gary asked me out on a date!

"YOU ASKED HER OUT!"

"You promised that you wouldn't get angry!" the raven-haired boy cursed under his breath but turned back around and continued to read.

"I agreed...obviously, but I told him I didn't really want people to know about it and can you believe it? He agreed...he didn't ask me a single question, he just smiled at me and nodded...his exact words "Sure Dawn, anything that makes you happy" I practically melted!

It was a really simply date, we just went to the ice-cream parlour, he bought us ice-cream and we went for a stroll in the park...did I mention this was at night? I've only just gotten back to my dorm and it's like almost two in the morning! But I don't care, it was just so romantic...laying on the grass, gazing up at the stars and night...it's like the perfect first date – he didn't kiss me yet, but I think that's a good thing...you should never kiss before at least the second date...otherwise the girl looks easy and I am not easy! D:

We're gonna go to the festival in Hearthome City tomorrow night! I'm not supposed to leave the academy after 7:00PM but I'm going to go anyway, I did it today didn't I? ^-~ and Gary's not supposed to either but he said he would for me :) how sweet! We can't risk him being seen though so I'm gonna have to meet him there :)

I hope we don't get caught! :o oh well...No need to worry right? :)

Until next time~

Xx..~Dawn~..XX

P.S I finally got a password for you ^-~ take a guess what it might be :p

"Did you ever kiss her?" Drew asked out of curiosity – he expected a negative answer but was completely surprised when he saw the nervous look on Gary's face

"Not...really" he stuttered

"WHAT!" Ash shouted "She told me I was her first real kiss!"

"Yeah." Paul rolled his eyes "Did you notice the word 'real'" he then turned to face Gary "I saw you Dawn making out behind the Azelf Academy building once" he stated "I still don't get why you didn't tell anyone"

"I dunno" Gary shrugged "She just asked me to keep it a secret and I agreed...only she knows the reason" He then grabbed the book and snapped it shut, effectively locking it in the process "No more reading" he stated before walking out the door and back to his own him – leaving the others to ponder over what they had just discovered.

"I can't believe that Gary and Dawn had a relationship and we never even knew!" Drew spoke after a few minutes "I wonder how long it lasted"

"What I want to know is why Dawn never told me..." Ash growled – his expression was murderous as he stomped out of Drew's bedroom and back to his own. The door to Ash's room slammed shut with a loud BANG and then a loud stream of curses was heard before a 'crash' and then silence.

"Wow...he's mad" was all Drew could say and Paul rolled his eyes

"I don't really get why...I mean yeah,Dawn should have told him about it, but I'm pretty sure she knew that Ash would react the way he is now...besides, they both told me that it wasn't even really considered a relationship – no one even knew about it and according to them it didn't last long"

"You knew about it!" Drew cried out incredulously "How come you didn't tell us!"

"Dawn made me promise" he shrugged

"How long did this last?"

"I dunno, after I found out it lasted about another four months...I'm not sure how long they had been together before then" he then gave the emerald-eyed boy a stern look "Don't go asking for questions just yet..." the boy groaned, but nodded and sat back on his bed while the Paul left and returned to his own room.

"Damn" Drew whispered softly to himself "I never thought Dawn and Gary would have a thing for each other..."

---

Paul walked through hallways towards his room, things were getting way too dramatic...hopefully they'd die down soon. Before he knew what was happening, a hand reached out and grabbed him – pulling him inside a room and causing him to land on his knees.

"Gary! What the hell!" he growled as he began to stand up

"I need the pin-code to Dawn's diary" his voice was urgent and Paul's eyebrow rose

"Why? I thought you didn't want to read anymore?"

"No...I didn't want them to read anymore...especially Ash" he sighed "I completely forgot about all this, it was six years ago and we never even considered it to be a relationship because no one knew..."

"So you were friends with benefits?" Paul crossed his arms over his chest, clearly not believing the boy

"No! I wouldn't use her like that!" Gary exclaimed "I just...I can't explain okay, but when it ended we both agreed that 'it never happened'" he then picked the book up from its place on the brunette's bed "Just please give me the pin-code"

"You can't change the pin-code once you've made it can you?"

"No..." the confusion was clear in his voice before he smirked "I eventually found out the code to Daisy's and tried to change it a million times...unfortunately it never worked but whatever...I still had access to it"

"I guess that explains the pin"

"What is it?"

"G,A,D,F...or in numbers 4,2,3,3" a small smile was etched on the onyx-eyed boy's face "She really liked you didn't she?"

"I guess" Gary shrugged "But she was never clingy or anything so I probably never noticed...Infact she asked me to break up with her" Paul didn't speak, his expression of confusion asked his question for him. The brunette chuckled at the boy's expression before explaining what had happened

Flashback

Gary walked through the streets of Jubilife City with his hands in his pockets and a neutral expression on his face. Dawn had asked him to come and meet her just a few hours ago and she sounded pretty nervous over the phone. He reached the 'Mesprit Academy' gate and was about to enter when the guard stopped him.

"Sorry, No entry unless you go to this school" he eyed Gary carefully "And I'm pretty sure you don't go here...it's all girls, in case you didn't know"

"I'm from Azelf Academy" he showed the guard his ID card "I'm supposed to see Miss. Cynthia...I have a message from my Headmaster Lucian"

"What message?" he raised an eyebrow...obviously not believing the boy

"It's private." He deadpanned "I'm not allowed to tell anyone except Miss. Cynthia" lying was an easy task for the brunette, he did it a lot.

"Alright then..." the guard allowed the boy to enter the premises, his expression was wary as he still didn't believe what he was saying.

As soon as Gary set foot on Mesprit grounds, giant squeals were heard and the sound of many feet pounding against the cement came towards him – before he knew it, he was surrounded by a massive hoard of girls.

"OH MY GOSH! IT'S AN AZELF BOY!"

"WHERE!"

"HE'S MINE!"

"BACK OFF! I SAW HIM FIRST!"

And the arguing continued as twenty or more girls grabbed at his uniform and his arms, practically pulling him apart by the way they were tugging.

"AW MAN NOT AGAIN!" he felt like his arms were about to pop out of their sockets from the rough way the girls were handling him "LET G-DON'T TOUCH ME THERE!" his eyes widened and his face turned red when he felt hands touching places on his body that really shouldn't be. Before he knew what was happening, he had been pulled away from the mob of girls and was now behind one of the many buildings, slouched against the brick wall.

"Wow, the 'Great Gary Oak' couldn't handle a few girls?" Gary looked up to see none other than Dawn as his saviour –amusement written clearly on her face. Like the other girls, she was wearing the mandatory Mesprit Academy uniform – a plain, white, button-up dress shirt with a pink tie and a pink, pleated skirt that was quite short...it went no lower than slightly above mid-thigh. She wore white socks that went half-way up her leg and black lace up shoes.

"Those weren't girls" he caught his breath before speaking again "Those were monsters! They're crazy!" his own uniform – a white, button-up dress shirt with a deep blue tie and same colour full length pants, with white socks that were hidden behind both the pants and black lace up shoes – had become crinkled and dirty from the previous struggle and one of the sleeves of his shirt had gotten ripped off.

The uniform's colours related to the respective legendary that they were named after – since Mesprit had a pink head, Miss Cynthia had decided that a pink uniform would be fit and since Azelf had a blue head, Headmaster Lucian had decided that blue should be the colour of the uniform...Uxie Academy's uniform was in yellow due to Uxie's head also being yellow.

The bluenette giggled "Nah, we all just get really excited when we see an Azelf boy...after all, most of you are cute and as you can see, the only other boy around here is the guard and he's not exactly the best looking...nor is he of our age"

"Yeah but he's gullible, I told him I had to tell something to Miss. Cynthia and he let me right in!"

"You're a good liar then" she sat down next to him, leaning her head on his shoulder in contentment. They sat like this in a peaceful silence for a few minutes before Gary turned to face her

"So, why'd you call me here? Is everything okay? You seemed kind of nervous on the phone"

"Well..." she started playing with her fingers and removed eye-contact from him "Promise you won't get mad?"

"Why would I get mad?" he raised an eyebrow at the girl before him and took her hands in his to stop her from fidgeting "Just tell me what's wrong"

"Canyoubreakupwithmeplease"

"What?"

"Can..." she hesitated "Can you...um...break up with...me...please?"

"You want me to break up with you?" he raised an eyebrow "How come you don't want to break up with me?"

"Because, even though no one knows about us, I know that me breaking up with you will bruise your ego, so I'd rather you break up with me...it's the same thing only you're doing it, instead of me" she let out a deep breath she didn't realise she had been holding.

"Bruise my ego?" Gary began to laugh before he pulled Dawn in for a hug "Thanks for caring so much, but why do you want to break up in the first place?"

"I don't know...it's just...it's not the same anymore" she looked up at him with a saddened expression "You and the other guys made that new band and I'm busy with my coordinating and well...we just don't get to spend time together...and I guess I don't feel the way I used to, and I know that you don't feel the same anymore either"

"We can still be friends right?" he looked at her hopefully and she smiled

"Best friends" she giggled before kissing him on the cheek "Thank you! You're the best Gary!" he blushed slightly and the bluenette smiled "You still blush? That's so cute! But if anyone asks anything...this never happened okay?" He nodded and stood up before holding out his hand for the bluenette, which she accepted before eyeing his current state.

"What?"

"You need to change your shirt...if you leave here looking like that" she pointed mainly to the ripped sleeve of his shirt "People are going to think bad things"

"Oh."

"Yes, 'Oh', now come on, I'll lend you one of mine" She took his hand and began to lead him towards her dorm building when she felt him resist. Dawn turned around to see a complete look of horror on Gary's face. "What?"

"I can't wear one of your shirts! I'm a guy!"

"So?" she raised an eyebrow "They look exactly the same...if the shirt was pink or something then I'd understand but it's just a white, shapeless, ugly dress shirt...you only have to wear it till you get back to Azelf anyway"

"Ughh..." He allowed the bluenette to lead him in the direction of her dorm room, grumbling the entire way about how there was nothing wrong with his shirt and he'd be perfectly fine and that it didn't matter to him, what other people thought. Before he could finish complaining, they had arrived at her dorm: Block A, Room 514

She placed her index finger on a small pad that was on the wall next to the door and it momentarily scanned her finger before a green light flashed and the door clicked – signalling that it was unlocked.

"Come on in!" she smiled cheerfully and gestured for him to follow her inside. The layout of the room was exactly like those of Azelf Academy, one big common room and then four separate bedrooms attached. There was a large white sofa in the middle of the room with a glass table sitting infront of it. On the table was a small bowl that contained different kinds of candy and a remote next to it, for the wide screen Plasma TV that was sitting infront of it. She led him passed the three other rooms that belonged to Misty, May and Leaf before finally reaching her own room. He was expecting to be blinded by a wave of pink but was surprised to see pale blue walls and not as much pink as he had expected.

"Nice room" he complimented before taking off his shoes and entering. The floor was a soft white carpet that felt brand new against his feet – even through his socks, right in the middle was a King sized bed that had a soft white comforter and a giant Eevee plush toy in the middle that was surrounded by smaller pokémon plush toys and teddy bears. On the right side, next to the window was a study table that had a desk lamp in the top, right corner and lots of paper, pens, pencils and different books on coordinating, art, appeals and many others. "I'm surprised there's no pink"

"Thanks, but I know it's a pretty big mess isn't it?" Dawn smiled sheepishly while walking over towards her closet in search of a shirt. "And I may be a complete girly girl but that doesn't mean I have to be obsessed with pink..I mean, I like the colour but I see enough of it in my uniform" she gestured to her attire and rolled her eyes.

"Mess?" he snorted "This not a mess...you should see my dorm" he flopped down onto the bed while waiting for her to return. "And good point...I think that's one of the reasons I like you...you don't act like a total ditz and aren't obsessed with pink" she probably hadn't even heard him though, because she was hidden inside of her closet rummaging for a shirt.

"Here we go!" the bluenette came out of her closet, the desired item in her hands "It looks exactly like yours so no one's gonna notice" Gary sweat dropped

"This is an extra small...I wear medium in men's size so that means I'll probably be a large in your sizes"

Dawn's mouth turned into an 'O' of realisation and she slapped her hand to her forehead "My bad! I'll go have a look in the other girls' rooms...just stay here, I'll be right back!"

Gary sighed and took off his shirt, there wasn't much point in wearing it anyway – it was pretty much destroyed. Hopefully Dawn wouldn't take too long in finding him a temporary shirt and he could wear it and leave...not that he didn't want to spend time with her – they may have just 'broken up', but as the bluenette promised, they were still best friends, besides, the other girls here were just so annoying. They ripped his shirt and touched him in areas they really shouldn't have. The brunette shuddered – he felt so violated.

"Hey Dawn, are you he-AH!"

Gary's head snapped up to see a brunette standing at the door looking completely petrified. At first he was confused before he realised he wasn't in his dorm...nor was he wearing a shirt. He stood up and began to walk towards her "Look, I can explain why I-"

"AH! OH MY GOSH HELP! THERE'S A RAPIST IN MY DORM!"

Gary grabbed her and covered her mouth with his hand and glared "I am not a rapist! And shut up! People are gonna get the wrong idea if they see me in here with both you and Dawn!" just as he finished telling her off, Dawn burst through the door – a white shirt in her hand. Gary instantly let go of the girl, causing her to lose balance and fall to the floor with a 'thud'

"What happe-Leaf?" She looked at both brunettes with a confused expression "What's going on?"

"Why don't you tell me what's going on?" Leaf stood up slowly and crossed her arms over her shoulder before gesturing to the shirtless boy behind her.

"Oh!" her expression relaxed visibly before she walked forward and handed the shirt to Gary "It's simple really, Gary came here to give a message to Miss Cynthia but on his way out, he was attacked by a bunch of girls and they ripped the sleeve of his shirt" the male brunette nodded while putting on the shirt. "I saved him from them and brought him here so I could give him a new one before he left...I mean our shirts are practically the same anyway and he only needs it for the trip back so yeah"

"Right..." Leaf raised an eyebrow – not really believing the story but decided to let it slide, there was nothing indicating that something else happened and she trusted Dawn. "Alright, well you've got your shirt now, so you can go...whoever you are...Gary, or whatever"

"Aww, don't you remember me Leafy? We see each so much...besides, everyone knows the'Great Gary'" he gave her a proud look and she rolled her eyes

"Okay Mr. High and Mighty, the door's that way" she directed him to the door with her hand before looking at Dawn with a look that said 'We're going to talk about this later'

"Oh um Leaf!" both brunette's turned to face Dawn – who had spoken

"Yeah?"

"Remember that shirt your mum bought you that was way too big? But you kept it anyway"

She nodded "Yeah?"

"Well, that's the shirt I gave Gary" the bluenette smiled sheepishly as Leaf narrowed her eyes before rolling them and then glaring at Gary

"You better give it back...in the same condition it is right now!"

"Why? You afraid you'll gain weight and need it?" the boy smirked, it was clear that he was joking but Leaf still didn't like it

"YOU JERK! GET BACK HERE!" She began to chase him but Dawn grabbed her and held her back

"Gary, if I were you, I'd leave right now!"

"Got it...see ya" He winked at her and waved before leaving the room and heading towards the elevators. That Leaf was something else, not only was she good looking but she had an attitude that he couldn't help but be attracted to. The elevator 'dinged' and he entered before pressing the 'ground' button so he could leave – praying he wouldn't be attacked again.

End Flashback

"Interesting story" Paul remarked before handing Gary the diary "Have fun, but if I were you, I'd return it" With that he opened the door to exit, but instead came face-to-face with Ash.

"Oh..." the raven-haired boy raised an eyebrow "Hi."

"Hi?" Paul also raised an eyebrow before walking passed him and back to his own room

Ash entered Gary's room walked till he reached the brunette. "Nice story" he commented "I still wish she had told me about it but I guess I can't have everything in life"

"If it makes you feel any better, I wasn't her first kiss either" Gary shrugged before sitting down on his bed and glancing back at the stolen diary

"What!" Ash raised an eyebrow "Who else did she date before me!"

"No one, when she was eight ,Kenny pretended to trip and fall on her and 'accidentally' kissed her...she's hated him ever since"

"Jackass" the raven-haired boy narrowed his eyes at the floor before also sitting down on the bed "Give me the diary I want to read it"

"As long as you don't freak out and try to murder me" he hesitantly handed the book to the boy after he had nodded and then allowed him to open it to a certain page.

Date: 12th June 2006

Dear Diary,

Once again, it has taken me a while to write here...There's just too much going on, but I guess it's okay as long as I use you :)

Well, today I feel kind of sad...like really sad, but I also feel somewhat satisfied. I asked Gary to break up with me.

We lasted for like six months and we're still going to be friends :) since no one knew about it, we're going to just pretend like it never happened...In all honesty, all those kisses I had with him, I wouldn't really count as my first kiss (and I shared a lot of kisses with him) – no one even knew about it...besides if I did, that would mean I would have to say that Kenny was my first kiss! X_X EWW!

That stupid little freako! I hate him so much! What kind of an idiot conveniently 'trips' when the girl he has a crush on is nearby and then 'accidentally kisses' her = .= faggot! I despise that jerk and I will never forgive him! I wonder how that douche bag managed to get accepted into Azelf Academy? o.0 there is no way he's good enough...I mean every time he entered a contest he barely got passed the first round – his appeals stink! And oh wow, you should see the stupid outfit he wears at the contests! XD it's the most hilarious thing I have ever seen! He's such a dork with no fashion sense!

Anyway...well since I'm single again, I don't really feel like I should try and get into another relationship just yet...but Gary's friend Ash just keeps talking to me and making me like him =/ He finally started talking to me after like two years...I don't get why he didn't talk to me from the start...was there something wrong with me =/ but whatever, at least he's talking now :)

He's so nice and his Pikachu is sooo cutee! Piplup really likes Pikachu as well...they're like best friends, I'm amazed...I've never seen Piplup get along with another pokémon so well :o Drew's started talking to me too...his Roselia is adorable! She always gives thornless red roses for Drew to give to May and you know what that means? 'Love at first sight' HOW CUTE! I knew I was right when I said they'd get married someday ^-~ but Roselia sometimes gives me pink roses meaning she wants to be friends with me :) that's just too cute!

I can tell that Gary's taken a liking to Leaf as well ^-~ I think they'd be really cute together...Gary tends to act like a pervert and has gone back to his playboy ways which really ticks off Leaf...Jealous much? XD

Paul tends to talk to me on occasion as well – Although Misty manages to get the longest conversation out of him (They so like each other :p)...infact all the boys are talking to all of us, that's just so weird...I mean they like full ignored us – except Gary – and now they really want to get to know us o.0 oh well...it's better than nothing.

Well anyway, I have to go now – May keeps whining about how she wants to go eat dinner right now *eye roll* Typical May

Until Next Time~

Xx..~Dawn~..xX

"You see...she obviously likes you, as soon as Dawn and I broke up, you started talking to her and she couldn't help but be attracted, she likes you a lot more than she ever liked me – she loves you man" Gary smiled but Ash raised an eyebrow.

"So...you shared a lot of kisses?"

"Um...maybe"

"You hooked up with her a few times didn't you?"

"Not to that extent!" Gary put his hands infront of his chest and shook his head furiously "Yeah...we did make out on a bed a few times but never went beyond that...I promise! Besides, you know Dawn would never do that!"

"So that's why you stayed in your dorm so much! She was there too wasn't she?"

"Let's go see another entry, just to prove that she loves you" He smiled sheepishly and scanned through a few pages but stopped when he saw one that was completely stained with dry tears and some of the ink had become slightly blurry but still readable.

"What happened here?" Ash looked concerned as he took the Diary from Gary and began to read the entry that was filled with the bluenette's sadness.

Date: 15th December 2008

I'm not even going to bother with the 'Dear Diary' crap tonight...I'm just not in the mood at all! I feel like crawling in a hole and just disappearing from the world...maybe die or something, after what happened today, I just don't want to be here anymore!

It started off completely fine; Leaf and I decided to go shopping for some new summer clothes since holidays were starting tomorrow. It was like 4:00PM when Leaf got a text from her mum that she had to leave tonight instead of tomorrow so she had to go home then instead of later. I still had two more stores I wanted to visit so I gave her my bags and told her to go without me and that I'd come back later – Big Mistake

I didn't finish till like 6:00PM – I never even bought anything else – it was already pretty dark and I had to walk back to the Academy. It wasn't too far away, like ten minutes by foot, but I was still kinda of scared...As childish as it sounds, I'm actually afraid of the dark :(

Well, I was almost at the Academy and I reached the park so I decided to take a short cut by crossing through it when I heard a rustling noise...it was exactly like the movies, I turned around and nothing was there, so I kept walking...it kept going like that for the next two minutes. Then out of nowhere, something jumped on me and pushed me to the ground!

At first I thought it was some angry pokémon but then I felt fingers pulling at the sleeves of my shirt! When I finally managed to look up, you won't believe who I saw!

Lucas!

My stupid stalker LUCAS! I hate him so much, he's been stalking me for the past year and won't leave me alone =.= I knew there was something wrong with him the second I met him! There was no one else around so my attempts and screaming were useless as well! I couldn't reach my pokeballs because he was holding my hands above my head with one of his and then started 'touching' me with his other hand :( I never, ever want to be touched in places like that again!

I kicked him with my foot but he slapped me and I hit my head on a rock and blacked out, the next thing I knew I was back here in my room with a bandage on my head...turns out that the girls came looking for me and Leaf heard me screaming so when she came here, she saw Lucas stripping me of my clothes...that jerk managed to take off my top and shorts! Thank god he didn't manage to see anything or take my virginity...I would never be able to live with myself if he did.

I can't even live with myself now! I live on the fifth floor with a balcony...sounds like a good plan...I hope it works =/ Everyone's leaving tomorrow morning – except Leaf who just left about an hour ago...I love her so much :) she left late just because of me...when I didn't come back, she told her mum she wouldn't go back home until she found out where I was because obviously I wasn't answering my phone – she's closer than a sister to me...If I die, I'll miss her a lot...probably the most.

I'll Miss Ash a lot too :(

Well, whatever ...Everyone's probably downstairs for dinner right now...Tonight was supposed to be a joint dinner with the Azelf boys since it's our last day at the academy before the holidays. Clearly I can't face any of them...especially people like Brianna and Ursula...they'll never let me live this down =/ And what about Ash! And Gary and Drew and Paul and the other boys too...they probably know all about it now...Leaf told me that Lucas ran away so she couldn't do anything...he's probably sitting at one of the dining tables happily enjoying food while I sit up in my room with a really bad headache and a terrified state of mind.

Since no one's here I might as well try now.

If there ever is next time...until then

Dawn~

"I don't believe this" Gary's face was filled with pure rage "So this is what happened with Lucas" It wasn't properly detailed, but he had a clear idea of what had happened. That bastard had traumatised Dawn so much that she wanted to commit suicide!

"I'm going to kill that jackass the next time I see him!" Ash clenched his fist – his voice was a deadly growl. How dare Lucas try and rape Dawn! How dare he try and do that with anyone. "I can't believe that Dawn had to go through that" the raven-haired boy's voice was filled with regret and sympathy. Obviously her attempt at suicide hadn't worked, but he was extremely curious as to what had happened. He looked back at the book and turned to the next page...the next entry was for the very same day, a few drops of blood stained the pages.

Date: 15th December 2008

Well, that idea was a bust...now I'm stuck in my room with a sprained ankle and a giant bandage wrapped around my bleeding knee and wrist. Unfortunately my hands got scraped too so you have some blood stains on your pages – sorry!

There I was, happily jumping out the balcony...I was even falling, embracing it...and then stupid, retarded BARRY comes along and catches me ==

"BARRY?" Ash and Gary both called out in surprise

Within a minute, Drew and Paul had appeared at the door of Gary's room and entered "Why are you shouting?" Drew growled, looking extremely irritated "I was trying to sleep...some of us still have headaches you know"

"Dawn tried to commit suicide a few years ago..." Ash mumbled, but it was loud enough for the two boys to hear him

"After Lucas tried to rape her" Gary elaborated "She...she tried to jump out her balcony window"

Both Drew and Paul stared at Ash and Gary in complete shock "You're...you're joking right?" the chartreuse-haired boy stuttered

"Do you think we'd joke about something like this?" Ash growled before shoving the diary in Drew's face "Read it!" he obeyed and read both entries, along with Paul before it fell out of his hands

"Wow...that girl has been through a lot" there was sadness in his voice as he truly felt sorry for the poor bluenette.

"And think of what you're doing to her now" Paul glared at all of the boys but mostly focused on Ash "You really think she deserves this? Using her for her music, pretending to love her, stealing her diary to find out her secrets and then once we're back on stage you'll just leave her and the others...act like nothing ever happened"

"I'M NOT PRETENDING!" Ash shouted in anger, but then lowered his voice back to normal "I'm not pretending to love her...I really do...I care about her a lot"

"Then you wouldn't be doing this would you?" with that Paul exited the room and went back to his own, leaving the others to think about what was happening.

Ash sighed before taking the book from Gary and heading towards the door, however, he stopped once he reached it and turned around "What's the pin?" his voice was serious and clearly indicated he didn't want to argue.

"4,2,3,3" the brunette replied, not wanting to state what the letters actually were – Ash was likely to figure out what they stood for and would not be happy about it. Ash nodded and headed out the door, most likely heading towards his own room, their guess was confirmed when they heard the door to his room open and then slam shut.

---

Ash fell onto his bed feeling extremely guilty about everything – the poor girl had been through so much and he wasn't helping the situation at all. The way Dawn was being treated...the way all the girls were being treated was just plain cruel – and on top of it all, they didn't even know about it!

He sighed deeply before punching in the pin-code for the diary and opening it when he heard the 'click' noise. He flipped through the pages until he found the one he had been reading before and continued

Stupid Barry! He told me that he had come outside to get fresh air or some crap and saw me jump -.-' and Ofcourse he had to come to my 'rescue'...I still managed to hit my knee on the ground and my wrist as well so they're all bandaged up and sore...Lucky me that a teacher was nearby too...she helped him take me to the nurse – the only good thing about that is she gave me some anaesthetic to dull the pain but it still stings =/

Now I'm back in my room...pissed off and in pain – it's a miracle I didn't break anything – while that jerk Lucas is sitting downstairs acting like nothing ever happened...he's probably so proud of himself, even though he didn't actually get to have his way...he still got away with it -.-' I hate my life...

I'm just gonna tell the girls I was coming down but tripped in the stairs and Barry found me...yeah, that should work – speaking of him, he just texted me that he's coming upstairs to check on me =/ he's probably one of the best guy friends I've ever had...like my brother ^^

Anyways, I need to go now...hopefully I'll be able to get over this...soon – I don't want this mishap haunting my life =/

Until next time~

Xx..~Dawn~..xX

"Poor Dawn" Ash mumbled to himself before skipping backwards a few pages to an entry that was written the same year

Date: 7th May 2008

Dear Diary

Oh my gosh! You will not believe what happened today! We had our annual sports day again and oh wow I just can't get over what happened!

We were playing 'chicken' and I was partnered with Ash (which I was really happy about :D) and then Leaf and Gary – who were partners – came up out of nowhere behind us and pushed us! I fell forward onto the ground and Ash landed on top of me! But that's not the shocking part

He almost kissed me! His lips landed right under mine! We both turned bright red and everyone was laughing at us! x.x They think it was because he landed on top of me...they don't know that we almost kissed, and I'm so happy about it because they would never let me live it down...especially Leaf! She'd like force me to go and admit to Ash that I think I'm in love with him =/

I'm too scared to admit it just yet...I mean, why would he like me? He has all these other girls running after him, why would he pick me?

But honestly, that almost kiss was one of the best things ever *o* I wish it could happen again but instead I wish he'd actually kiss me! :D

Oh great...The girls are complaining that I have to go get ready now...you see, we have to go to Azelf Academy tonight for that random joint dinner we have...every time we have our sports day, we go there and then on the last day of the year, they come here...we see each other a lot :o It's like the school's want us to find a guy to fall in love with – well if they are, it definitely works!

Until next time~

Xx..~Dawn~..xX

He couldn't help but smile at the bluenette's thoughts, before turning to a more recent entry– the day before yesterday (Saturday) to be precise.

Date: 29th November 2011

Dear Diary,

It's been so long since I've used you but I promise that from now on, I'll be using you a lot more...after all, I'm done with Mesprit Academy :D and now I can finally go back to my pokémon journey!

Guess what! Ash said that he loved me today! :D It was the sweetest thing ever! Although, deep down I didn't really like the fact that he bought me shoes, a necklace and the teddy bear =/ it kind of made me think of material value and I hate that! But I know that Ash actually cares about me and not trying to 'buy' my affection with things so it's okay :)...he just better not do it again!

"Oops" Ash sweat-dropped when he read her words "I won't do it again...promise" he smiled at the diary as if he was talking to Dawn and not an inanimate object.

My love is priceless...money can't buy me and I hope he sees that...hey, that sounds awesome for a song! Hmm...let's see

Boy I'm one of a kind
you see

I'm not the girl you want me
to be

My love is priceless baby

Money can't buy me

Oohh...I like it :p now if only I could think of the rest XD oh well...back to the main topic of this entry :)

My kiss with Ash today took me straight to heaven and back! I've never ever felt like that before...Ugh when that retard, Kenny 'accidentally' kissed me it was so disgusting! I wanted to throw up! And oh my gosh I kissed Gary as well didn't I? D:

I completely forgot about him! In my defence...It was like six years ago and we decided that it never happened in the first place ^-~ but I should probably tell Ash about it...I don't think he'd be very happy if he found out another way...I don't think he'd be happy at all if he found out =/ But he has a right to know so yeah...I'll definitely tell him soon :) anyway, even though Gary is a really good kisser...it was still nothing compared to Ash *o* He made my knees go weak and I felt like I would melt into a little puddle! The stupid paparazzi killed it though == talk about ruining a moment, jeez...

I still need to tell the girls about it :o But maybe not tonight...We're going clubbing by the way! :D I have not been clubbing in ages! I am going to have so much fun!

Speaking of which...I need to go get ready...Misty's already complaining about how we're all taking too long and how she's been ready for ages *eye roll* I swear she's probably wearing something really 'unclubbish'

Well anyways, I'd better get going...I just saw what Misty was wearing and there is no way I'm letting her go clubbing in that! D:

Until next time~

Xx..~Dawn~..xX

Ash couldn't stop the grin that had made its way to his lips...Dawn liked his kisses better than Gary's...that was definitely saying something, he always used hear girls swooning over how good of a kisser Gary was. Also, Dawn wanted to tell him about her relationship with Gary...even though they both considered it to have not even happened...she still felt like she needed to tell him...he couldn't believe how amazing Dawn was, and he couldn't believe how big of a jerk he was being by reading her diary.

"Alright, I'm done with reading this" he snapped the book shut and put it on his bedside table, when he next went to the bluenette's house, he'd find a way to sneak it back to her room. "But for now...I need to sleep"

He yawned and fell back on his bed, using his feet to slide off his shoes and then snuggled himself deeper into his bed before drifting off into his dreams.

---

"Hey guys?" Dawn called from her room while searching in various locations "Have any of you seen my diary?" she looked under her bed a second time and stuck her hands under, feeling around for it but closed her eyes and sighed when she realised it wasn't there "Where could it be?" she mumbled to herself as she stood up"

"What's up Dawn?" Leaf walked into the bluenette's room "What were you asking?"

"Have you seen my diary?" her voice was distressed and she continued to search in her desk drawers for any sign of teal coloured book.

"No, why?" a smirk then graced the brunette's lips "Did you want to write something about Ash in there?"

"What!" Dawn jumped, turning away from her desk to face Leaf with a reddened face "No! I-I just...I just felt like writing something, plus I was bored" her face returned to its normal shade and she smiled "I just needed to do something to pass the time, but oh well...I'll think of something else"

"Like what?" Leaf raised an eyebrow before looking at her watch "Its 10:00AM in the morning on a Monday"

"I know! I can't believe I slept through the whole day and night yesterday!" Dawn exclaimed before a smile graced her lips "You know, I still need to take May shopping for a new wardrobe"

"Ooh! I wanna come too! Please!"

"Sure!" she smiled cheerfully "Come on, let's go wake up May...she lost the bet so she has to come with us...after all, I get to decide her clothes for the next month!"

Dawn and Leaf opened the door to May's room and found her still snuggled into her bed, cuddling her torchic plushie tightly.

"May!" Leaf shook the girl hard – already aware from experience that being soft didn't work "Wake up!"

"Mnn..." she grumbled and turned onto her side before trying to sleep again

"May!" the darker brunette tried again "Come on!" she shook her harder "Its 10:00AM in the morning! Get out of bed!"

"Go away..." the sleeping girl threw her hand backwards and swatted Leaf's hand away

"Ugh! You're so annoying!"

"Don't worry Leaf...just leave her – if she doesn't want breakfast then I guess we'll just have to eat it all ourselves" Dawn winked "we'll just eat all the delicious pancakes ourselves with extra syrup" Leaf smirked before playing along

"Yeah...May can miss breakfast if she wants...more for us" with that they began to walk out of the room but were stopped when May yelped and jumped out of the bed

"PANCAKES!" she grabbed Dawn's arm and began pulling her downstairs "Gimme, gimme, gimme!"

"No way" Dawn cringed "Your breath stinks! Go brush your teeth and get ready...then we'll eat pancakes"

"Fine..." May grumbled before walking towards the bathroom and shutting the door so she could get ready

Leaf raised an eyebrow "I didn't know you were making pancakes"

"I'm not" Dawn smiled sweetly before skipping down the stairs "I need to make a phone call"

Leaf smiled and shook her head before following her best friend downstairs.

---

Within fifteen minutes May was bounding down the stairs like an excited puppy that was about to go for a walk "Where are my pancakes!" she demanded while jumping up and down

"We'll get them on the way, come on" Dawn smiled before taking May's hand and dragging her out the front door with Leaf close behind incase the light-haired brunette tried to escape.

"Where are we going?"

"Don't worry May, just get in the car...we'll get breakfast on the way" Leaf reassured the confused girl before forcing her into the backseat of the car and then taking the passenger seat while Dawn took the driver's seat.

"Where's Misty?"

"Oh, she didn't want to go shopping, she's still sleeping" the bluenette replied nonchalantly while buckling her seatbelt and the starting the car.

"SHOPPING?" the blue-eyed brunette exclaimed "I AM NOT GOING SHOPPING! LET ME OUT RIGHT NOW!"

"Um May...you lost a bet on Saturday remember? I get to pick your wardrobe for a whole month" Dawn smirked "I would've taken you yesterday but all of us had really bad hangovers, so we are going today...get ready for a full day of trying on lots of clothes, accessories and having to buy whatever I want you to!"

"Someone kill me please..." May groaned causing Leaf to laugh

"Come on May, it won't be that bad"

"Yes it WILL!" she crossed her arms over her chest and slouched back into her seat while pouting "And I'm going to have dead arms by the end of the day"

"Who said we're going to carry our bags?" Dawn had a cheeky smile on her face but she kept her eyes on the road

"You didn't" May gaped – her jaw dropping even lower (if possible) when she saw Leaf nod "You did!"

"Yes, we did" The brunette in the passenger seat giggled before winking "The boy's are going to be helping us today"

"Yeah, but they don't know about it yet" Dawn chuckled before parking the car in the car-park and exiting the vehicle. "Come on, come on! Hurry up! We don't have all day May!"

"Relax your pants Dawn, I'm out"

"Hey! I'm wearing a dress!" May rolled her eyes but noticed the bluenette's attire

She was wearing a black, white and cyan, plaid dress that reached mid-thigh. The straps were medium thickness and there was a black strip that outlined the 'U' shaped neckline which wasn't too deep, but wasn't very small either so there was cleavage visible, but hardly enough to notice unless you actually looked carefully. A large, black belt that was at least five centimetres in thickness wrapped around underneath her bust to shape her slim body and make her curves more visible. She wore black sandals with a small kitten heel and her hair had been tied into its usual shape but instead of yellow hair clips, they were white. She felt blue would blend in with her hair too much and she was already wearing enough black.

"Cute" May commented "Does that mean you'll make me wear clothes like that?" she didn't look worried or afraid...more curious than anything. Although she would never admit it, May actually loved the kind of clothes that Dawn wore.

She herself was wearing a white, T-shirt-like top that fell off one shoulder and had a glaceon printed in the middle. On the bottom, she simply wore black skinny jeans with black flats and a blue bandana.

"Well, not the exact same, but I will be buying you very similar clothes" Dawn winked but stopped when she saw the surprised expression on the light-haired brunettes face "What?"

"You're buying for me?" her eyes widened further when she saw the bluenette nod as if it was no big deal "I'm not letting you buy clothes for me!"

"Why not? I bought my credit card so who cares...just consider it an early birthday present"

"But-"

"Oh my gosh guys, hurry up!" both girls turned to face an impatient Leaf, leaning against Dawn's silver convertible. The darker brunette was clad in a strapless black top with a white mini-jacket on top and a pair of denim short-shorts. She wore white slip-ons that looked like flats but had a thick heel on the sole that was relatively short. On her head was a pair of Chanel sunglasses, mainly to add to her look, but also because during the drive it had gotten too bright. She moved away from the car and began to head towards the shopping centre, gesturing for them to follow.

"We're coming!" Dawn called before grabbing May and pulling her along "I am buying your clothes and I don't care what you say! Now come on!"

"Fine!" May grumbled as she followed the bluenette into the mall.

---

"Sunnyshore Mall" Leaf began "What a fitting name...a mall, in Sunnyshore...Sunnyshore Mall" she then rolled her eyes "How boring...you'd think they'd come up with something a little more unique considering they're the only city in all of Sinnoh and probably in all the regions to live on purely solar power"

"Stop with the sarcasm Leaf" Dawn gave the girl a playful glare "We're here to shop for May and ourselves if necessary...who cares what they named it, as long as it serves its purpose"

"Whatever" Leaf mumbled "Where are we going?"

"To the fountain, that's where we're supposed to meet up" While she spoke, the fountain had become visible in the distance and so had three boys. Dawn ran forward when she was close enough and jumped into one of the boys' arms "ASH!" she cried out happily "Thank you for coming!"

The raven-haired boy chuckled before kissing her forehead before placing her back on her feet "It's fine Dawn, besides through that excuse I get to see you again"

"You're so cheesy!"

Leaf giggled at the conversation between the two before turning to face Gary "So...how come no one's going crazy?" she raised an eyebrow while looking at the many shoppers who were ignoring the three famous boys

"Because of him" he jerked his thumb in the direction of a burly man in a black suit with black sunglasses on who was standing idly by the three boys "This is James...our very own body guard" he smirked

"You're so full of yourself Gary" she rolled her eyes playfully before giving him a hug and kissing his cheek.

"Well, if acting 'full of myself' gets me more kisses then I'll keep doing it"

"Shutup"

"Yes ma'am"

"Whipped" both brunettes turned to see Drew smirking with his arms wrapped around May's waist

"I'm whipped?" Gary snorted "Look at yourself"

"Hah! I'm not the one obeying every word she says"

"Alright let's make an agreement...I'm not whipped, you're not whipped" he then pointed Ash "He's whipped"

"Couldn't agree more" All four started laughing and Ash – who had heard them – glared

"Oh shutup" he growled "Come on, we have to go shopping with them"

"WHAT!" Gary and Drew both cried out

"We have you carry your bags!" the male brunette gave Leaf an incredulous look to which she simply nodded before walking over to Dawn

"You're kidding right? I mean...you don't even like shopping" Drew raised an eyebrow and May let out a laugh

"Who do you think we're here for? I lost a bet to Dawn so she gets to pick my wardrobe for a month...and she decided I need a brand new one" she patted her chartreuse-haired boyfriend on the shoulder "Sorry Drew, but looks like you'll be carrying the most" May then winked before skipping off to join the other two girls

"Someone...please save me"

---

Yes...cavaliershipping :) I like cavaliershipping, i just think its so cute XD but as i said before, it's only for this chapter...as stated in the chapter, it happened six years ago and they like to believe that it never even happened :) hopefully you will agree and not want kill me XD

As for Dawn's uniform...A lot of female uniforms have ties...mine did, therefore Dawn also has a tie on her uniform - as in the long ties, not the little mini ribbon kind of ties :)

Incase anyone was wondering, Gary DOES have a sister...her name is Daisy Oak :) but in the manga her name is May...clearly I cant use the name May because...there's already a May in my story XD so yeahhh..

By the way, can any of you guess what the letter's on dawn's pin stood for? I'm pretty sure its really easy to figure out but yeahhh, just curious :o

Well...Gary's a jerk for taking Dawn's diary, Paul's an idiot for giving in and opening it...Ash is stupid to also give in and read it and Drew...well drew is just drew :p

Hope you enjoyed it...thanks for reading and please review! :D
