A/N: Finally, only took an entire month I think, but I finally made chapter 2. But like I said, don't expect me to upload consistently. I'm very bad at that. Anyway, no dilly dally, on with the show!

Dawn grabbed the front door and held it open for them. Ash and Brock both walked inside. The front door led straight to the living room. In the middle of the living room was a purple couch and a glass coffee table. The living room had a big flat screen t.v, a recliner, a computer near the door to the kitchen, and the walls were painted a deep blue.

Ash awed over the house.

"Woah," said Ash, "All of this is your's?'

"Yeah, basically," she said sheepishly, "Please, make yourself at home!"

The pokemon walked inside, Pikachu was awestruck. It was so cozy! She had nice furniture, a nice t.v, a nice… well… EVERYTHING!

"Wowie," said Pikachu, "It's so nice in here!"

Buizel was hit with a rush of cool air, blasting from the a.c. Buizel soaked in all the cool air, while enjoying the fresh scent of "Ocean" air freshener.

"Aaah," he said."

"My my," said Staraptor, "I must say, the decor here is splendid!"

"Thanks," said Pachirisu, "Dawn tries her best to keep the house clean. Here, let me show you guys around."

The gang followed Pachirisu through the living room. She brought them to the kitchen first, since it was just across the living room.

"Here's the kitchen!" Said Pachirisu. "Umm… not much to say about the kitchen. But Dawn does cook some mean eggs and bacon!"

"Ooh! I love bacon!" Buizel said with enthusiasm.

"Me too!" Said Pikachu

"Alright guys, follow me!"

Pachirisu led them back into the living room, and proceeded up the stairs. Upon reaching the top floor, they entered a hallway. She took them to the right side first.

"There's the bathroom, then on you're right is the guest bedroom, and on the left at the end of the hall, is another guest bedroom. That's where you guys will be staying. They're very nice."

Pachirisu opened one of the bedrooms and showed them inside. The bedroom was neatly cleaned and organized. The walls were painted a beautiful sage, the carpet was soft and colored like snow. A single bed sat in the middle of the room, with a t.v sitting on top of a drawer in front of it.

"Wow, this is a really nice room," said Pikachu.

"Yep, these rooms don't really get used much, so they just collect dust. Now to show you the other side of the house!"

Pachirisu brought them to the other side of the hall. They walked past the closet and reached the master bedroom.

"And finally, this is our room. Or more specifically, Dawn's room. Allow me to show you inside."

She went to open it, but Buneary stopped her immediately.

"Huh?" Pachirisu asked.

"We uh… we shouldn't bring them inside." Buneary said.

"Well why not?"

"Well… I don't think that would be very respectful to her privacy. We must respect her privacy Pachi. There could be stuff in there that she wants to keep to herself Pachi."

"Huh… Oh! Er-right! Right! Eh… anyway that comepletes the tour. Please return back downstairs and make yourselves at home!"

The group made their way downstairs, but Pikachu still remained at the door, dumbfounded. Buizel walked up to him.

"Pikachu?" He asked.

"That was weird," Pikachu Said.

"What was?"

"Whatever just happened. Do you think Dawn could be hiding something in there?"

"Oh don't be silly! Dawn's as innocent and delicate as a flower, what could she possibly have to hide?"

"I don't know, but they really didn't want us going in there."

"Well I mean, I'm not the smartest dude, actually I'm pretty dumb, but that is HER room ya know. Just barging into someone's room is disrespectful no matter what. And it's an invasion of privacy."

"Hmmm. You know what? You're absolutely right Buizel, I never even considered it that way. Gee, I wish I was as smart as you are!"

"STONKS!"

They went downstairs and returned to the group, leaving Dawn's room behind.

Everyone was hanging out downstairs, and getting acquainted with each other.

The three trainers were sitting on the sofa, talking and catching up with each other.

"I bet you've been training and battling lots, haven't ya Ash," Dawn said happily as she sipped her tea.

"Uuuuh… yeah, o-of course! I always keep my pokemon in tip top shape!"

"That's great to hear! What about you Brock?"

"Oh you know, learning new recipes, all that good stuff. I've really excelled my knowledge about pokemon, and I've dug deeper than I ever had before!"

"Wonderful! I'm glad to hear that you guys are going above and beyond!"

"Oh yeah? Well, what about you?" Ash asked, "You've barely told us anything about you."

"Oh? My bad, hehe. Gee, where do I even start? Well last summer…"

As the trainers conversed, the pokemon talked amongst themselves as well.

"Wow Star," said Pachirisu, "I never knew you were a man of culture!"

"I do appreciate the classics, such as Beethoven, and Mozart," said Staraptor with a distinguished tone.

"Wow!" Pachirisu was very surprised by Staraptor's sudden interest in classical music.

Buneary had dragged Piplup to the side, away from the group.

"What do I do, what do I do?!" Her voice shaked.

"Calm down, calm down," Piplup said, "You're overreacting! Just be yourself, we went over this for a week now!"

"I know, but now that he's here, I-I just don't know what to do!"

"Yo!" Pikachu said as he and Buizel approached Piplup and Buneary.

Buneary squeaked and her body stiffened. He chuckled nervously and waved at them.

"Uh-heheh… Hi Pikachu.~"

"This place is amazing! You must be very happy here."

"Uh-heheh… yeeeah…"

"Meh, not really a mansion, but it'll do," said Piplup.

Pikachu looked around. Everyone was talking and getting along. The trainers were having a friendly conversation, the pokemon were sharing their new interests and experiences, it really was a reunion. So far, going very well.

"You know what," said Piplup, "It's getting pretty cramped in here, how about we go outside and have a friendly chat?"

"Sounds good to me," said Pikachu.

Piplup led the way outside. Buneary and Pikachu walked next to each other. Buneary could feel her legs shake, and her heart pound. Something drained her confidence from earlier, and made her very anxious.

I don't know how long I can keep this up, Buneary thought to herself, I just really want to cuddle him and nuzzle him! I really want him to like me, but I just don't know how to! I can't be myself, I have to think of another strategy. But what?

Pikachu noticed Buneary's strange behaviour.

Hmm, she's acting very strangely. Where's her burst of energy from before? She's being all quiet now. And I still haven't had to deal with her nuzzles and worship. Hmmm?
