I'd like to thank Mayrasaur for being the first to review since I decided that I do wanna continue! More comments you do, the less time it takes for the next update! Check my profile; I may have put something up, but only if you care. Also, people don't want Zoey to be bad… Whoever voted for 'Yes, evil runs in her blood,' you made me lol soooooo long. Anyway… here you go!
Dawn
Dawn sat up and stretched her arms. She looked around the room, confused for a bit. "Where am I?" She asked herself, rubbing her eyelids sleepily. A flash of something caused her eyes to grow wide.
"Zooooooooooooeeeeeeeeyyyyyyy~!"
Paul
Paul sat up and stretched his arms. He heard his back pop and sighed. A nudge to his side caused him to turn his gaze to the dog Pokemon next to him. He whimpered at Paul, showing his worry over something. Paul reached out and rested his hand on the dog Pokémon's head. "Xatu went training, Mightyena. It's just us four, now." Paul looked at Gliscor and Whismur. Whismur was in Gliscor's arms, crying softly like it always did. Paul stood up, stretched his arms again, and began walking. The Pokemon behind him followed loyally, carefully keeping up with his pace. It may not look like it, but Paul was taking in his surrounding, looking for anything that may have been out of the ordinary.
Paul saw something move in the grass. He turned sharply, and without a word, Mightyena jumped into the grass. Mightyena barked loudly, and a large bug Pokemon jumped out of the tall grass.
"Ariados?" Paul commented questionably. The Pokemon glared at Paul. It looked like it was about to attack, when something Paul didn't expect happened.
"Ariados! Oh my precious Ariados, that's where you ran off to!" Coming out of the tall grass was Harley, skipping with his hands at his sides girlishly. Paul sweat-dropped when Harley fell to his knees in front of Ariados, completely ignoring the fact that he was standing right in front of him. "Oh, hunny, you shouldn't run off like that! Big, bad Pokemon are just waiting to eat you up right as they get the chance-!" Harley, in the middle of his over dramatic worrying, finally noticed that there as someone starting at him. He shot to his feet and put his hands on his shoulders. "Your mutt tried to bite my darling Ariados's head off! You'll pay- Wait just a tiny second! Paul?" Harley looked utterly shocked. It was like he was staring at a ghost. "What in heaven's name are you doing here?"
Paul rolled his eyes. "What do you care?"
"I-I…" Harley poked his fingers together. "I thought you left,"
Paul raised an eyebrow. "Left?"
Harley stomped his foot. "Yes, left! That's what I said!"
Paul shoved his hands into his pocket. "Who said that?"
Harley crossed his arms. "Nobody, I just thought you did." Harley eyed Paul for a moment. "Where's your Girlly girl? Did she dump you already?" Paul's anger began to grow. He opened his mouth to retort, but what Harley continued to say made him freeze. "I knew it, she ditched you. She ran away and didn't tell you, just leaving you to wonder why. You're probably looking for her right now, thinking someone took her from you. But I'm sure you know, deep in that tiny black heart of yours, she didn't love you, she never did," Harley smirked, placing his hands back on his hips. "Am I right?"
Paul would usually punch him in the face. He would break his nose, and leave him there crying for mommy. He would say he would find Dawn, and prove him wrong. But something inside Paul told him not to. He simply rolled his eyes at what Harley said, causing Harley to tilt his head in confusion. Paul slipped his hands into his pockets again and smirked. "What are you smoking, Harley? Seriously, I know where Dawn is. I'm going to her right now. She's waiting for me in Mauville,"
"But- but- but-" Harley stuttered, obviously taken aback by what Paul said. Paul raised an eyebrow, showing how crazy he thought Harley was. Also showing that he knew something was up. Harley puffed up his cheeks. "That's Impossible,"
"How?" Paul asked, keeping his cool. His Pokemon stared at him like he was crazy.
"Because-" Harley was at war with himself inside his head. He suddenly smirked and put his hands on his hips again. "I just came from that way. Dawn would've said hi to me if she saw me. Nice try, Paul. You can't lie to me!"
Paul smirked. "Okay, so you're right. But that also means you know something I don't' know." He pointed at Harley quickly. "Takedown!"
"What?" Harley cried as Mightyena pinned him to the ground. Gliscor jumped over to hold his arms down, while Mightyena snapped at Ariados. Whismur jumped in front of Mightyena and used Shadowball on Ariados, who fainted after contact. Paul took a split second to admire Whismur's strength, then went back to focus on Harley.
"Let me go! Please! I don't know anything! I'm just being my braty self! Help!" Harley begged and screamed, hoping somebody would hear him. Paul stood over him and stared down at him.
"I will…. Maybe, if you tell me what you do know."
Dawn
"I swear, Zoey! It's true! That's what I saw!" Dawn cried into her cup of coffee. It was loaded with sugar and crème, but still tasted black in Dawn's mouth. She stared at the cup, watching the tears fall from her face and fall into the cup.
And then she saw it again. She sat in the spotlight, surrounded by color. She saw all around her where figures in black, chuckle at her as she struggled in something unknown. She saw another figure walk up to her, smirking at her. She was trapped, no way out. She was his prey.
Dawn closed her eyes, trying to forget it. 'It's not real,' she told herself. 'It can't be,'
It was a little fuzzy after that. But after a moment she saw him again, closer to her. His hand was on her chin, lifting her face to see him. She felt panicked. He had her right where he wanted her…
"Then it's all blank," Dawn muttered. She lifted her head, facing Zoey with tear filled eyes. "What is this, Zoey?"
Zoey sat in silence. Her lips where to her cup, and she took a deep breath, breathing in the bitter smell of her coffee. She then sat the cup down, but she kept her hands on it. She wouldn't take her eyes off the cup.
"Zoey?" Dawn whimpered. She let more tears stain her cheeks and fall towards the table.
Zoey looked up to Dawn. "I don't think its part of your past,"
Dawn sighed in relief. The tears began to calm. That was all she wanted to hear. 'It was just a nightmare…'
"But I don't think we should just mark it off either. We need something to connect you to your memory. And dreams are part of the subconscious mind…"
Dawn nodded. She sat still for a moment, not thinking of anything in particular. Her mind wandered to last night, and she blushed from the memory with Jason. She wondered vaguely where he was, when another thought popped into her mind. "Hey, Zoey," Dawn lifted her head to look Zoey in the eye. "Do I know a 'May' or 'Drew'?" Dawn asked curiously.
Zoey's smiled stretched across her face. "Yes! Yes you do! That's so great that you remember them!"
Dawn blushed once more. "I read it in my diary, actually… on the first page. It was titled 'Day 4 in Hoenn'"
Zoey smiled again. "All we have to do is call them and ask them things! This is great!"
"Yeah," Dawn muttered. Zoey got up and ran to the phone, flipping through pages of a book. Dawn looked down again. 'Is it so bad that I don't remember…?' She watched Zoey as she made the call. Dawn slowly stood up and walked towards Zoey. She reached out, about to press the hang up button, without really realizing what she was doing. A face popped up on the screen.
"Hello?" a boy asked, tilting his head to the side slightly. He looked to be around 8 to Dawn's eyes, but she could've been wrong.
"Hello, were looking for May Maple?" Zoey asked.
The boy smiled. "Hey, I remember you! You're that Zoey girl! And, hey, is that you, Dawn?"
Dawn blushed furiously. "Uhhhhhhh…. Yeah! How are you?" She muttered, sweat-dropping at the boy on the screen. She felt bad for not knowing who he was. He wasn't familiar to her.
"I'm good, but May's not here," The boy made kissy faces. "She went to La Rouse City with Drew,"
"What? Bummer!" Zoey frowned at the screen.
"Yeah, but when she calls I'll tell her you called,"
Zoey made a fist. "Tell her its super mega ultra important that she gets to us A.S.A.P!"
The boy laughed. "Sure. See ya!" The screen turned black.
"Bummer!" Zoey screamed again. Dawn, on the other hand, mentally sighed. Knowing the truth was going to knock her in between the dimensions… "Dee Dee? Earth to Dawn!"
Dawn jumped. "Y-Yes?"
Zoey rolled her eyes. "I said, is there anything else in that diary you wanna show me?"
Dawn put her hand on her chin. "I think there was another name…" Dawn blushed suddenly, remembering what she had put about that certain somebody. She shook her head. "But I couldn't read it at all. It was like it was erased…"
"Well," Zoey began. "Maybe I can read it?"
"No!" Dawn screamed without thinking. Zoey looked at her funny. Dawn turned her face away so she wouldn't see her blush. "It's not possible to read it!"
"Okay?" Zoey mumbled. Before she could ask any more questions, there was a knock on the door. Dawn took the opportunity to get away "I got it!" she said as she ran for the door. She opened and smiled.
"I. Brought. Sugar!" Amber cried, pushing a hug bag full of candy into Dawn's face. Amber was bouncing, literally.
Dawn laughed at her, taking the bag of sugar from Amber's grasp. "Hi, Amber!"
"Oh yeah… I came to ask if you wanted to travel with me 'cause I forgot to ask last night 'cause Jason bought me Ice cream and I bought two bags of candy and I ate one last night and couldn't fall asleep but I refused to eat the other 'cause I wanted to share it with you and Zoey and ask you if you want to travel with me please please please 'cause I like you and trust you and so does Jason and we wanna leave but we wanted to ask you to travel with us!" Amber ranted and ranted, without taking a single breath. She swung her hands around dramatically and was bouncing as she walked slightly inside the house. Dawn laughed and put her hand on Ambers shoulder in an attempt to slow her down.
"I'd love to. I just…" Dawn looked over to the dining room, where Zoey was looking at paper she had spread out on the table. It was printed out details about her life that she got from Google. She was trying to find the right 'Dawn Berlitz'. Dawn thought about it for a second. 'What if that wasn't a dream… if that really happened to me, I don't wanna remember it.' Dawn turned back to Amber. "Shh, I'll go, but you have to be quiet." She whispered, pushing Amber back outside. Amber nodded, and continued nodding when Dawn turned around to go to her room. She picked up her Pokeballs, diary, and extra clothing, and pushed it all into her bag. She then slipped on her shoes and looked in the mirror. She tightened her bandana and made sure her knickerbockers where at the correct length. She nodded at her image and sneaked out of room, and out of the door…
