Last chapter we were speaking on Dawn and Alex's friendship and while doing the dishes I just had this idea to elaborate from that point so this is my very first BONUS chapter EVER, solely dedicated to how the Misinterpreted Love gang met before May and before anything else. I hope you all enjoy.

BONUS CHAPTER

"NO! Please Mommy! I'll be good! Please!" A five year old violet haired girl shrieked as she was forcefully dragged into the dance studio. The bright lighting, mirrored walls and pink ribbon plaguing the room caused the poor girl's eyes to widen in fear. All around her little girl of her age were all playing with one another, smiling as they showed off their pink leotards and matching tutus. "Mommy, if you don't let me leave I'm going to run away!" The pink eyed girl threatened.

Her mother, who she was a mirror image of, shot a glare down at her. "Alexandra, it won't be that bad. Besides, you might actually make a friend." Her mother said in her thick exotic accent. Alexandra pursed her lips into a tight pout.

"I don't need friends." The little girl mumbled. Her mother, Jordyn, rolled her eyes and got down on her knee to meet her daughters eyes. Gentle pink eyes gazed into a pair of glaring ones. Jordyn couldn't help but smile. Signing her daughter up for ballet may not have been her best idea but it certainly would free up her time.

"Don't say that," Jordyn began placing her hand on Alexandra's small shoulders. "Having friends may not be a necessity…but in the long run, if those friends are true, you'll never regret it. So try and have fun and if you still don't like it when I come back in a few hours, I'll pull you out the class, okay?"

Alexandra snorted. "I'm not gonna like it." Jordyn nodded and ruffled her daughter's hair before placing a kiss on her pale forehead. Alexandra fought back a smile as her mother stood up. "Bye Mommy."

"Bye sweetheart." Jordyn said winking at her daughter.

Alexandra watched her mother leave and sighed once she was sure the woman was gone all together. She glanced around at all the little girls talking with one another about dolls and pokemon that they thought were the cutest. The violet haired girl felt so out of place in the dance studio and it made her feel uncomfortable; not only that she was completely terrified about making friends.

She was only five and she already felt self conscious…

It was then she felt a kick to her rear that caused her to jump.

"Ah! Sorry!"

Alexandra snapped around as the high pitched apology reached her ears. She glared harshly as she came face to face with a navy haired girl adorning a pink leotard and her hair was tied up in a bun. Her eyes were a sparkling, joyous sapphire and her cheeks were flushed a bright red as she kept her hands clamped over her mouth.

"You better be." Alexandra said shoving the navy haired girl back by the shoulders. The unnamed girl stumbled before falling flat on her rear. Alexandra smirked and stuck her tongue out at the leotard clad girl.

A beat passed before the two were rolling on the studio floor, shrieking and yelping while slapping and pulling at each other's hair. Alexandra even resorted to biting thinking that this other girl would give up and start crying like any other girl would, but the navy haired girl responded by biting right back.

No more than five minutes later did the dance instructor come in to break up the fight.

"Dawn! I would have expected better from you!" The teacher scorned wagging her finger in the navy haired girl's face. Dawn huffed and stomped away. Alexandra did the same knowing that when her mother came she would see no more of this dance studio or the pink wearing Dawn.

Although she had to give the girl some credit; she could really fight.

The hours ticked by slowly for Alexandra as she pretended to follow what the teacher was saying and doing. Every few moments she would feel a pair of eyes on her and she would glance behind her to see Dawn staring at her from the end of the line of girls. Alexandra scowled and tried to focus even though she didn't want to.

At the end of the class is when Dawn actually had the nerve to approach her.

"Hey…" Dawn began.

"Hey…" Alexandra mimicked. Dawn lowered her gaze for a second before meeting Alexandra's eyes.

"I like your eyes. They're pink…"

"I know." Alexandra muttered. Dawn lowered her gaze again.

"Well…I'm sorry for biting you." Dawn sighed turning her feet in. Alexandra mentally giggled at the memory.

"I'm sorry for biting you first." She laughed. Alexandra paused for a moment noticing that she had just apologized and let her guard down for a moment. "You fight pretty good." Dawn smiled softly.

"Thanks…so what's your name?"

"Alexandra." Dawn crinkled her nose.

"I like Alex better." She commented. "You look like an Alex." She said poking Alexandra in the chest.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Alexandra questioned poking Dawn back.

"I don't know." Another poke.

Alexandra laughed. "You can call me Alex then." And another…

It didn't take the two of them more than a few seconds to erupt into soft laughter, paying no mind to the pair of pink eyes watching them. Jordyn smiled to herself knowingly as she watched the two girls poke each other back and forth. She wasn't surprised when her daughter had offered to continue ballet from then on, all the while talking about her first friend.

Little did she know that Alex was Dawn's first friend as well.

"Wow! They have everything here!" An eight year old Dawn exclaimed as she strode into Alex's grandparents shop. Alex nodded as she stood to the side and picked up a figurine of a Piplup off a shelf.

"You can have this if you want," Alex said holding the figurine out to her navy haired friend. "I know how you like this pokemon."

"I do!" Dawn confirmed taking the figurine from her hands. "I want my first pokemon to be a Piplup!" Alex grinned and nodded.

It was then that Dawn was bumped into causing the figurine to fall from her hands and go crashing to the marble floor. Dawn's hands clamped over her mouth as the figurine shattered to a hundred pieces. Alex's eyes widened before she looked past Dawn to see who had bumped into her. Standing there was a purple haired boy, who was scowling in annoyance and his onyx eyes were narrowed, almost evilly.

"Oh no…" Dawn squealed crouching down. She snapped around, on the verge of tears at the expense of the shattered gift her best friend had offered her. "You big dummy! That was a gift!"

The boy didn't respond. Instead he scoffed and walked away, hand in his pockets.

"Don't worry Dawn; there are plenty more…" Alex reassured crouching down to help Dawn pick up the pieces to the shattered figurine.

"Yea but that dummy didn't even apologize! He looked like a jerk…"

"His name is Paul…he doesn't have many friends because he's so mean." Alex said before laughing openly. "What a loser, right Dawn?"

Dawn furrowed her brow before standing up straight and dashing towards the front door to the shop. Alex blinked in surprise before calling after the girl and following her. Dawn caught up with Paul rather quickly and took him by the shoulder. He paused and snapped around to shoot her a death glare.

"If you apologize then I'll be your friend." Dawn said quickly. Paul quirked a brow at her and once Alex caught up her mouth gaped open.

"Who said I wanted to be your friend?" He said lowly. Dawn lowered her gaze and dropped her hand from his shoulder.

"C'mon Dawn! Just leave him alone." Alex said taking Dawn's hand and dragging her away. It was a few steps later that the two girls heard it.

"Sorry…"

An nine year old ebony haired girl hid behind the slide in the park as she kept her deep brown eyes trained on only one thing only. The dark haired, green eyed boy she stared at laughed openly as he punched her brother on the arm. She laughed quietly herself as she watched her green haired brother cringe. Thinking the object of her affection may have spotted her she ducked behind the slide all the way, her little heart pounding.

Finding that she was clear to look again she peaked around the slide only to come face to face with a pink eyed girl that caused her to scream and jump back, making her head hit against the metal bar of the slide.

"Ow…" She groaned before pushing up her glasses. She then looked up at the person that had scared her to see that she had not been alone. Standing at her side was another girl with navy hair and blue eyes and next to her was a rather angry looking boy that had purple hair and dark, glaring eyes

"Sorry mate, didn't mean to scare ya." The pink eyed girl laughed offering her hand to the brown eyed girl. "My name is Alex, by the way."

"I'm Dawn!" Dawn chimed in waving her hand frantically. Alex rolled her eyes as she hoisted the mocha skinned girl to her feet.

"And that guy over there is not a murderer; he's just Paul." Alex laughed as she jerked her thumb in Paul's direction. Said boy growled under his breath and Dawn giggled before slapping him upside the head.

"I'm Rolyn…" The ebony haired girl introduced dusting off her pants.

"We know!" Dawn exclaimed. "Next year we're going to your mom's summer camp."

"Ohhhh…" Rolyn breathed as her eyes darted in the direction of her green haired brother and his dark haired friend that she had been focusing on just moments ago.

"You look nothing like Drew…are you sure you are related to him?" Dawn questioned quirking a brow.

"She's adopted you pest." Paul explained shooting her a glare.

Alex rolled her eyes for the second time. "Sorry about my mates…they're rather spacey." Alex muttered so only Rolyn could hear. The glasses wearing girl smiled awkwardly before glancing in Drew's direction one last time to see the dark haired boy had tackled him to the ground. "Keeping an eye on your brother?"

Rolyn didn't respond. Alex followed her gaze and noticed that she had not been staring at her brother but the friend. Alex smirked.

"Who is the cute guy?" She questioned. Rolyn's cheeks flushed bright red rather quickly as she whipped around to face Alex.

"N-Nobody! He's not cute!" Rolyn exclaimed waving her hands. Alex nodded slowly.

"Rolyn!"

Said girl jumped as she saw her brother and his friend approaching. Drew narrowed his green eyes at the three newcomers that had suddenly surrounded his sister before turning to her.

"Who are these people?" the green eyed boy questioned locking his eyes on Rolyn. The ebony haired girl blushed deeper and lowered her head.

"We're Rolyn's new friends, and who are you?" Alex questioned quirking a brow at the boy.

"I'm Jason, her best friend." He retorted crossing his arms over his chest. Rolyn glanced up at him with a small smile on her face.

"Well what kind of best friend leaves their mate hiding behind a slide?" Alex retorted placing her hands on her hips. Jason furrowed his brow and pressed his mouth into a line.

"She got you there Jason." Drew muttered with a smirk. Jason shot him a glare.

"Shut up," He snapped before turning to Rolyn. He took her hand in his and flashed her a sweet smiled. "C'mon Ro, we can play together." Jason said as he began to drag her away.

"What about me!?" Drew snapped turning to follow. Alex smirked.

"You're welcome Rolyn!" he called. Rolyn paused, took her hand from Jason's and ran back to Alex to wrap her arms around her.

"I'll be here again tomorrow. I can't wait until we're in camp together." Rolyn said softly. Alex nodded and Dawn grinned widely.

"Rolyn!" Jason called waving the hand she had let go. She gave Alex, Dawn and Paul one last grin before running back to Jason, grabbing hold of his hand once again, all the while blushing a deep scarlet and smiling happily.

Ten year old Rolyn sat at the front of the group of campers, Alex sat to her right and Dawn was next to her. To her left was a blue haired girl. She had her hair pulled into two pigtails and her expression was stoic and her aqua eyes looked horribly bored.

Rolyn did not look too happy as well so she applauded this blue haired girl that seemed to be rid of all emotion. Rolyn had been dreading this day since last week…She cringed at the thought.

Dawn had been kind enough to inform Jason about her five year crush on him; she should not have expected less from the blabber mouth. She had not see Jason since, thankfully, but today, the first day of camp, she knew she would see him. He was Drew's best friend after all and she was Drew's sister.

"Uh ohhhh…" Alex breathed. Rolyn glanced up and immediately regretted it as she watched her brother stride into the camp lounge conversing with Jason. The two of them laughed openly before talking lowly and Rolyn couldn't help but think they were talking about her. Rolyn fought back a nervous blush as she turned forward again. "Don't worry mate…maybe things won't be so bad. I think he might like you too…"

"You think so?" Rolyn muttered sarcastically.

"C-C'mon! Chin up!" Dawn encouraged. Rolyn silenced her with a glare.

"Just don't Dawn. You're on thin ice." Alex reminded.

Dawn nodded and lowered her head, almost shamefully. She didn't think that Rolyn would mind if she had slipped Jason the hint that she had a crush on him, but obviously she was wrong.

"Rolyn,"

All three girls turned as if all their names were Rolyn. Alex pursed her lips and Dawn ducked her head once again. Rolyn's heart jumped when she saw Jason standing before her with Drew at his side.

"What's up? Hanging out with the tomboy and the big mouth?" He questioned. Rolyn furrowed her brow at the fact that he had the nerve to insult her friends.

"This tomboy is going to punch you in the face." Alex grumbled shooting him a glare. He chuckled sarcastically.

"I don't think Rolyn would let you." Jason retorted.

"And why wouldn't I?" Rolyn inserted quirking her brow. Jason smirked knowingly.

"Because you like me."

There was a pause of silence before Rolyn let out a growl worthy of an Arcanine. She launched at Jason, only to be held back by Alex who yelped as she tried to keep the flailing, growling girl under control.

"Let me at him! Just one punch!" Rolyn screeched as she clawed crazily hoping to scratch Jason.

"You wouldn't hit me, would ya sweetheart?" He laughed. Drew rolled his eyes before cringing as Rolyn let out a high pitched battle cry as she slipped from Alex's grasp. Alex gasped as the blue haired girl that had been watching this all happen tackled Rolyn to the ground and pinned her there.

"I suggest you leave." She said to Jason. He was about to say otherwise when Drew took him by the collar and dragged him away.

"Let's be smart for once Jason." Drew muttered.

"Get off me!" Rolyn cried struggling under the blue haired girl.

"Calm down first because if you don't, you might get in trouble."

"That's my problem!"

"Okay." The blue haired girl removed herself from on top of Rolyn and put her hand out to help the ebony haired girl to her feet.

"Sorry for being so aggressive…"

Rolyn huffed as she straightened out her camp t-shirt. It was then she noticed that this blue haired girl was wearing one identical to hers signaling they were in the same cabin.

"My name is Marina…I guess we're in the same cabin. I just moved here to LaRousse so…I'm new to most of this." Marina explained bashfully. Rolyn shrugged before holding out her hand.

"Welcome…" She muttered. Marina smiled softly as she took hold of Rolyn's hand and they shook.

"Thanks."

"He's so adorable!" Alex gushed. Rolyn quirked her brow at how out of character she just sounded. Dawn giggled and Marina smiled lightly.

"Aden is a rather cute boy…" Marina agreed. "But Jimmy is cuter."

"Says you!"

"All the boys in Flygon cabin are a bunch of jerks." Rolyn inserted crossing her arms over her chest. "Especially that stupid Jason Alvarez…"

"Says you!" Alex repeated.

"They are our sworn enemy! We cannot submit to them or show affection for them! They are to be destroyed under the awesome might of the Dragonite cabin. I may not know Aden very well and Jimmy may have joined camp a little late but as long as they are with Paul, Drew and Jason, they are evil."

"Oh Rolyn would you let the grudge die?" Marina sighed.

"I will take it to my grave…" The eleven year old grumbled. "It's us or them; whose team are you on?"

"But there are five of them and four of us…" Dawn pointed out.

"That shouldn't stop us." Rolyn said. She grinned as she jumped to her feet on her bed hands on her hips. "Are you with me girls!?"

There was silence among them. Rolyn furrowed her brow.

"I said, ARE YOU WITH ME!?"

"Yea! Team Dragonite!" Alex screamed jumping to her feet as well.

"Team Dragonite!" Dawn cheered doing a jump.

"Fine…Team Dragonite." Marina laughed.

I hoped you all enjoyed this little background story. It wasn't that long but I had fun writing it. I'll be sure to get the actual next chapter up very soon; probably in the next two days or so…so look out for that. Oh! And one more thing; please review.
