Hey everyone! I'm sooooo soooooo sorry for the late review! I honestly did not mean it! I was just so occupied with an amv I was making and I was thinking about updating it only comes once in a lifetime but I'm stuck on that so yeah, I'm taking a break!
Paul: Excuses.
Me: You! You shut up! I wanted to start this sooner but the amv was taking loads of space on my computer and I had to finish it!
Dawn: Yeah Paul! Leave her alone!
Paul: You're just saying that because you're in it!
Me: Hey so are you, lol! Well, Time to start chapter 5 of A Precious Bond! Dawn do the disclaimer!
Dawn: why can't Paul do it?
Paul: Cause I wouldn't even if she forced me.
Me:gasp Now you're doing the disclaimer Paul!
Paul: or?
Me: Or I'm going to write a fanfiction where you and dawn can't help but think of each other in certain ways!
Paul and Dawn: OH GOD!
Me: Now do it!
Paul: HARVESTGIRL10 DOES NOT OWN POKEMON OR ITS CHARACTERS. SHE DOES OWN SAKURA, DAMAR, AND THE MYSTERIOUS WOMAN HOWEVER!
Me: Thank you! Now, on with the story!
"Hurry up! I do not have time to wait for some troublesome girl!" Paul shouted lazily back towards Dawn, who was trying to keep up with the fast trainer.
"WHAT?!" Dawn screeched, causing Sakura to cover her ears with her hands. "That's so sexist! I can walk just as fast as any guy!"
"Really?" Paul smirked as he stopped, "Then WHY am I the one who is waiting for YOU?!"
"You're not the one piggy-backing Sakura!" Dawn shouted out again, her eyes flaming.
Paul simply smirked again, "Did I make the stupid decision to piggy-back her? When you should know that it's going to take days and strength to get out of this valley?"
Dawn stopped walking, her jaw and eyes wide. She was about to counter when Sakura interrupted with giggles.
"Hmm? Sakura?" Dawn asked as she looked over her shoulder.
Sakura grinned while laying her head against Dawn's back and said "You two sound just like Mommy and Daddy do!" Sakura giggled, "You're so silly!"
Dawn and Paul stared at her but Sakura didn't notice, she was too caught up with her daydreams of her parents.
Dawn turned her head back towards the road, a bright red on her face. 'D-Do Paul and I really sound like t-that?"
Dawn nervously glanced her direction towards Paul to see his reaction, but he seemed to just shrug it off and kept walking like nothing happened.
Sakura popped her head up and looked towards Paul.
"Aren't you going to kiss her now like Daddy does to Mommy?" She asked confused.
Paul and Dawn both came to a sudden halt. Dawn turned deep tomato red and Paul almost tripped over his feet, red in the face as well.
"W-W-What?" Dawn asked the small purple-headed girl, who seemed just as confused as Dawn was.
"When mommy and daddy fight, they walk away from each other for a short while then daddy always comes back in and says he's sorry to mommy! Then mommy disagrees, saying she's sorry! Then they just kiss! It's so yucky! I don't know why they do it! Whenever I ask them, they just say that they love each other and they can't help it! "Sakura mentioned
Dawn flushed; did she and Paul really bicker like a married couple? Her heart skipped a few beats when Paul spoke up,
"Sorry Sakura, but I would never want kiss Dawn," Paul began in a normal monotone as if it was a typical conversation. Dawn's heart sank as those words came out of his mouth.
'He'd n-never want to kiss me?" Dawn thought with dread.
"I really don't know where those lips have been." Paul finished as he walked ahead.
"WHAT?!"Dawn screamed after him, her eyes a burning flame once again
"With a skirt that short, honestly, you'd never know!"Paul smirked as he kept walking.
"HOW DARE YOU?! YOU SAY THAT TO MY FACE!"
"I just did." Paul taunted, keeping his eyes on the path.
"ARGH! I'll let you know this skirt is not short-! Hey, wait a minute…" Dawn began, putting her index finger to her lips in a thinking gesture.
Paul smirked at the girl and glanced over his shoulder, there was no way she would win the conversation.
"Why were you even looking at my skirt in the first place if it's so short?" Dawn innocently asked, her face a deep crimson.
Paul stopped in his tracks, a visible blush on his face. For once, he couldn't say anything.
"Huh?" Sakura asked as she tilted her head her head to the side "I don't get it…."
"N-Nothing Sakura!" Dawn quickly explained to the naïve child, her crimson slowly fading to a light pink.
"Yeah, let's move on to another topic." Paul mentioned as he sweat-dropped.
"Of course! That's what you want!" Dawn shouted, pointing her finger at the trainer.
"Whatever." He simply replied, causing Dawn's mouth to hang open.
'How dare he! First he says how my skirt is too short, then he doesn't even deny looking at it, then he just blows it off!' Dawn fumed in her thoughts.
Suddenly, Sakura burst into a huge giggle fit. Dawn and Paul looked over curiously at the girl.
"You're both so silly! Just like Mommy and Daddy!"
"Have you successfully capture Celebi?" A lone figure on the head monitor asked Damar and his crew.
"Yes, Master Cyrus," Damar bowed, "It will arrive at headquarters in a matter of a few days." Damar gestured for a mini-screen of Celebi to appear on the main monitor. Celebi had been taken out of its tube-like prison and was placed in a laboratory capsule, filled with green liquid. Inside, Celebi was connected to many wires and cords that dangled all over its body. However, through all this, it seemed to be sleeping peacefully in the liquid.
"Excellent. I highly anticipate the arrival. That is all." The monitor shut off and as soon as it did, Damar let out a big sigh.
"Your job is almost over. Soon, he would no longer need your assistance." The mysterious woman reminded him in a blank monotone, her features where still encased in shadows.
Damar gave out a gruff and shouted to his crew "Full force! We reach docks before tomorrow's sundown, hear me?! If a pokemon gets in the way, don't hold back."
Damar slumped back down in his chair and looked onward. "You must be anxious to get this over with too? After all you-"
The woman gave him an angry deep glare and slapped him hard against his cheek. Damar just froze in place from the outburst, not looking in her eyes.
"Remember your place!" She shouted as she ran back towards the back rooms. She ran towards a room where Celebi was located and she looked long and hard at the poor pokemon. The mysterious woman fell to her knees, her muscles shaking.
"…I…love…my job!" She cried to herself, hoping that the lies would make truth. She put her hands to her face, her hair flailing over her shoulders.
'I'm …sorry…I'm…so sorry!'
Cyrus sat in a throne like chair, behind a huge office desk. He sat there intently, looking at a picture of Celebi and two huge pokemon.
"Master Cyrus!" A blue hair spiky man came bursting in, with papers in his hands.
"Commander Saturn, honestly…There's not need to be in a rush." Cyrus explained coolly, just like a patient father.
"Sorry sir!" He exclaimed panting, "We just received word that it's ready!"
Cyrus's eyes perked up and gradually took the files from Saturn's hands. He read them over and smirked.
"Took them long enough." Was all he said.
"Sir? May I ask, What do you plan on doing with Celebi afterwards?"
Cyrus let out an evil laugh and gave the young commander a you-really-don't-know look.
"Dispose of it." Cyrus looked over the picture again, which seemed to be faded with age. He traced his fingers along the two giant pokemon next to it.
"After all, it is only a mere key to the real treasure."
"My feet hurt!" Dawn complained as she kept up with Paul. Paul looked over at her and muttered "Troublesome girl" under his breath.
"I-I think I can walk now, Dawn." Sakura mentioned, hoping to lift her burden.
"That's okay Sakura!" Dawn replied cheerily, "I think they're feeling better now-OW!" Dawn shouted when her feet pounded hard against a rough surface.
"The sun is setting; we'd better set up camp." Paul said as he stopped walking.
"No way! I can keep going!" Dawn complained.
"Idiot. It's already sundown. It'd be dangerous to travel at night in this valley." Paul told her like it was basic math.
"Ugh! Just shut up!" She cried as she gently let Sakura down.
Paul and Dawn both exchanged angry glares while Sakura looked down at her dress. She whimpered as she saw that most of the pink turned into a light brown.
"Sakura? Is there something wrong?" Dawn asked the poor girl, completely ignoring Paul's presence.
"M-My dress! …Mommy …would be mad…that I ruined my play dress!" Sakura cried as she fell to her knees.
"I don't see anything wrong with it." Paul mentioned.
"I-It's supposed to be pink!" Sakura whimpered.
Paul mouthed 'oh' and Dawn ran to the poor girl.
"Oh dear! Don't worry! I'll clean it for you!
"R-R-Really?"
"Uh-huh! There has to be a lake or something close by." Dawn said as she looked around.
"And I think your going to need a bath too!" Dawn pointed out to Sakura's wrangled hair.
"AWWW!" Sakura moaned as Dawn took her to the nearby lake.
Paul was left at the site to set everything up. He cursed under his breath. Of course, He had to do everything.
So, did you guys like it? Sorry if it was a litte on the short side. I liked to thank Tomoyo Kinomoto for the beginning segment where Paul has to wait for Dawn and Sakura claims they act like her parents! Thank you so much! Oh , and thanks L'il Miss Yuki I incorporated the " aren't you going to kiss her ?" in their as well ! If I hadn't got to any of your suggestions, then they will probably be in the future chapters.
