Stupidity Does Not Earn You Heaven

A week had passed and if it wasn't for the crumpled boxes lying around the living room you wouldn't even be able to tell that Dawn and Brianna had just moved in a few days prior.

The two-story house was decorated outside with a few Pokemon statues like Piplup, Togekiss, Parichisu and a Glameow which Dawn had gotten back in Sinnoh. She had gone to a flea market two days ago and that was when she found a Pikachu statue she couldn't help but buy. Brianna was squealing with joy when she saw it and Ash had just raised an eyebrow, not being able to resist teasing her a bit.

The house had five bedrooms in total. One of the rooms was downstairs along with a bathroom, living room, dining room a door leading to the garage and a kitchen area. Upstairs was the master bedroom which had its own Jacuzzi, a small closet and two other closets that lead to the other. There were also three other bedrooms but only one had its own bathroom, another bathroom was there as well but that one was by itself.

Ash, Gary and Tracey had come by and helped her install a pool table and a liquor serving bar like table in the unused little space that you saw once you went up the stairs.

Dawn's room, the master bedroom, was painted a light blue color with many of her trophies, awards and ribbons hanged all over. A plasma television lay on the left side, with a dresser not too far away. Her bed was queen size, dark wood colored and a arc design. She did not have many clothes, so she took the small closet for herself and Brianna's clothes were all placed in the walk in closet, accessories and other things were placed in the second part of it.

Brianna's room was right next to the master bedroom. Her room was painted light pink with floral and many princess stickers hanged all around half of the room. Many stuffed animals, teddy bears and dolls hanged on one side. The other half was full of Pokemon stickers and many plush Pokemon things were hanged up. She also had a plasma, and her bed was a twin, pink with princess sheets and a Pokemon blanket.

Brianna was currently in her room, watching television and Dawn was downstairs going through bills and other things. Her mind drifted to Ash, Gary and Tracey. In the week she had been living here they had all become very good friends.

Ash owned a company that helped people that were moving into the area. Even though he's the boss he often likes to help as well, which is why he, Tracey and Gary were the ones helping her that Saturday, everyone had been sick or something like that.

Tracey and Gary co-owned a research lab in Kanto, which had a few branches throughout Hoenn and Sinnoh.

It was now Sunday and tomorrow Dawn began her job in the new clinic she had set up. Brianna would not start school until a month later and until then she was staying with a babysitter, Ash had highly recommended her. They were even coming over for dinner.

The doorbell woke her up from her daze, and she walked out of the kitchen to get the door. She peered out the window and saw it was Ash and a woman with light brown hair that looked oddly familiar to her.

Dawn smiled and opened the door and motioned for them to come inside.

Ash was dressed in a white and blue sweater, blue pants and light blue sneakers. He had two boxes of pizza. The woman was wearing a black and red sweater, black shorts and black and red sneakers. In her hand was a cake.

"I apologize for the mess," Dawn said as she walked beside them. "I'm still doing a bit of cleaning."

The woman smiled. "Are you kidding? For a person that has only been here a week this place looks amazing."

Dawn blushed. "Thank you." she said, and she ushered them to sit down taking the boxes and the cake from them. "Do you want anything to drink?"

"I heard from Ash that you make the best lemonade he's ever had."

Dawn shook her head. "Please," and she laughed waving her hands. "I swear that guy could drink anything and pass it off as good."

"Well, I want to try it for myself."

Dawn nodded. "Very well, I'll go make the lemonade. While I do so Ash can you go get Brianna? You know where her room is."

Ash stood up and nodded. "I'll be right back. May, behave. I won't be gone long."

"Oh my how stupid of me to not even introduce myself! I'm Dawn nice to meet you."

"I know. Ash told me." May grinned and Dawn paled.

"I will kill that guy!"

"Don't worry your secret is safe with me." She smirked. "We have met before after all."

Dawn wrecked her brain trying to remember yet nothing came to mind. "Um... I'm sorry but I think you might have me confused with someone else."

"No. I'm pretty sure it is you." May said with a grin. "You and I competed in the Wallace Cup that was held in Lake Valor."

Dawn nodded as it hit her. "You were the one with the Glaceon! The one they call Hoenn's Princess."

May bowed. "Guilty as charged."

"I'm sorry for asking this but why are you offering to babysit my daughter? Aren't you competing in any contests or anything like that?"

"Eh? Oh! Well you see I stopped doing contests a couple years ago. I run my own clothing shop now but I'm leaving that in the hand of my dorky brother for a while. I had nothing to do so when Ash asked if any of us were interested in babysitting a cute seven-year old I said sure why not?" then she laughed. "Funny how life works isn't it? Not in a million years would I have guessed that the little girl would turn out to be your daughter."

"You still have time to back down if you want."

"Are you kidding? I wouldn't do something like that. I'm actually glad it's her I'm babysitting... I'm just a tad bit surprised is all."

Dawn raised an eyebrow. "We're not ghosts if that's what you're insinuating."

May gawked. "Has motherhood made you crazy woman? That's the last thing on my mind."

"Had to make sure," Dawn said shrugging. "Ash asked me that when he found out who I was."

"I swear that guy is as naive as ever. He'll never change."

Dawn nodded. "I'm sorry for leaving you like this but I have to go get started on that lemonade now."

May stood up and walked with Dawn to the kitchen. "It's okay I'll help you set up the table."

"I cannot allow you to do such a thing, you are a guest here."

"Oh please I can tell I'll be here so often this house will turn into my own."

Dawn laughed. "Fine. You can help."

"Yay!"

And with that they both got to work, talking about where destiny had taken their lives to.

Ten minutes later Brianna and Ash were seen coming down the stairs in a laughing fit.

"Sorry we took a while. Brianna was brushing her hair and changing her shoes while I was watching a Pokemon battle. Then she told me a story. I have to admit Dawn you're quite the clumsy person."

Dawn was confused. "What are you talking about?"

"Ash said we had a visitor, so I wanted to look my best. I told him the story about the time you almost fell in the electric stairs because you were dancing."

"Yes we do have a visitor her name is May, your new babysitter and why did you tell him that story?"

"I don't know it just came to mind." Brianna smiled and bowed down. Nice to meet you. I'm Brianna I'm seven years old and I'm starting second grade next month."

"I'm May, I'm twenty-six and it's nice to meet you too Brianna. Ash lied, you're definitely cuter and more adorable than he mentioned."

Dawn glanced up from where May was done setting everything up in the kitchen table. "What are you all waiting for? Come and eat."
