DISCLAMER: I do not own pokemon and their characters

3rd Chapter: An unexpected help.

After the break the gang had, they continued off to the next town. They were supposed to go to Snowpoint city, but since it's so far away, they had to stay in the nearby town to rest. When they reached there, Brock found a poke-center to stay and enjoyed a good time in there. When the trainers let the pokemon get out, Buneary knew what she had to do. While everybody else was playing and busy, Buneary ran out of the field they were in, and into the forest. Inside, far into the forest, Lies 2 people in grey uniforms with an R on their chests and a cat that seemed to be fighting over a piece of cheerios:

"James! Let go of that cherrio! I deserved it more than anyone!" said the long, scarlet haired woman struggling to get the cherrio.

"No way Jessie, the sweet, tangy taste of it belongs to someone who actually did do work, and that's me!" said the purpled haired man holding the cherrio.

"Hey, didn't ya hear that pokemon deserves ta eat?!" said a talking meowth using its claws to get the cherrio.

While Team Rocket tries to kill each other over a snack, James accidently threw the cherrio up in the air, Jessie and Meowth tried to jump to get it. But then, out of nowhere, A random ice beam attacked the cherrio, leaving it frozen and fall to the ground. Jessie and Meowth was shocked of what happened and has fallen as well. James saw this happened and said:

"What the hell was that?" James yelled out of shock.

"I don't what happened, but when I find out who did this, there's gonna be an ass-kicking!!" said the angry Jessie, still on the ground. But then the bushes started to shuffle in front of them.

"Guy's, I think that ice beam was shot from there." said the nervous meowth. When the bushes stopped shuffling, a Buneary got out of it.

"Hey, a buneary." said the surprised Jessie. "Hey, wait a minute, I know what ice beam shooting Buneary belongs to!"

"It belongs to the twerpett!" said both James and Meowth.

"But why would the twerpett's pokemon comes to us? Said a puzzled james.

"Maybe Buneary wants to be in our group!" Said the excited Jessie.

"Buneary!" the Buneary then shoot out another ice beam attack at Jessie this time, leaving her frozen as a block of ice.

"Or not" said the now frozen Jessie.

"Bun bun buneary bun!" said the demanding buneary.

"Huh? What u say?" said the surprised Meowth.

"What, in pray tell, is she saying, Meowth?" said James since Jessie is still frozen.

"She's saying that she want us to do something for her." Meowth translated for buneary. (Since Meowth is translating for buneary, I figured I don't have to put in buneary's thoughts like I always have. It'll be easier for me and everybody this way. I hope you guys don't mind ^_^.

"What? Why does she want us to help her?"

"Bun neary bun neary" buneary explained

"She says because we're the only ones that has fingers and I can translate whats she's saying" Meowth thoroughly explained to James.

"… What?" said the confused James.

When they have no idea what Buneary was saying, Buneary explained her romance plan for Ash and Dawn, or what Team Rocket say, the twerp with the cap and the twerpett. During the explanation, Jessie thawed out of her ice block and managed to listen to Buneary. After Buneary explained the plan, the guys was shocked to the core:

''So, Buneary is trying to make the twerp and the twerpett fall in love, so that you can have more time with Pikachu." Jessie recapped after she thawed out of her icy state.

"Sounds complicated from such a little pokemon." James said still puzzled.

"Not to mention completely cooky." Meowth said.

Team Rocket to a long look at Buneary, and then at themselves, after that, Jessie ask Buneary to have a group huddle with themselves. Buneary didn't like that, but she let them go. In the group huddle…

"So, wat you think, guys?" "Should we helped her?" Meowth said, leaving what they want to do to Jessie and James.

"I don't feel like we should, since she belongs to the enemy, but of what she did to that poor cherrios" James then reminisce the times he'd been with the cherrios (for a short while). "We have no choice."

"Ah don't be such weenies." Jessie insulted. "Don't you think that this is the best time to gain that Buneary's trust, and then steal whatever pokemon we can have?"

"Oooh! I would never thought about that!" James squealed.

"That's a great plan for once, Jess!" Meowth said astonished.

"Obviously, and besides, I always did wanted to know who that twerp ended up with." Jessie said chuckling to herself.

Buneary was quite annoyed how long they were taking, but Team Rocket separated and went to tell Buneary that they decided to help her out. Buneary was overjoyed while Team Rocket was chuckling to themselves. So Buneary started the plan and Team Rocket started inmediatly. After about an hour, Buneary returned to the poke-center, while Dawn was worrying sick for buneary. Buneary explained that she was on a walk again, and Dawn joked that Buneary takes long walks, but she was relieved. After that, Buneary went straight to the Trainer's room in the center and found Dawn's bed. Buneary hopped to Dawn's bed and placed a piece of paper on Dawn's pillow without somebody noticing her. Buneary then got out of her room so that nobody will inspect Buneary of doing anything weird. Now we'll go back to the trainers:

"And that's my new move guys! So, what do you think?" Dawn said enthusiastically.

"Mmmh, don't you think that you should work on your last one and then work on that, Dawn? Brock said giving an opinion.

"Are you kidding Brock? She already perfected it the last time we saw it, so making another one while on a roll is just smart thinkin!" Ash said complimenting her.

"Aww Thanks ash!" Dawn cooed.

"Well, I guess that's fine, coordinators should make more awesome appeals just in case if things don't work out." Brock explained.

"Thanks guys! Well I should take a shower, I stink!" Dawn took a whiff at herself and made a disgust face.

"Alright" The guys said.

Dawn went to their room to get the stuff for a shower, but when she went in, she saw something on her pillow.

"Huh? What's that?" said the curious dawn. What she saw was the recently put piece of paper from Buneary. Dawn went to her bed and took the paper to read it:

"Huh, it's a letter, Wonder what it says?" Dawn then read the letter:

To Dawn,

Ever since I saw you, I have always been in love with you.

Every time I see your beautiful, sapphire eyes, I just go to pieces.

Your captivating, long, hair looked likes the aurora lights we've seen before.

And your kindness and motivation towards pokemon made me realized that, that I love you.

I wish to hear your response tomorrow night, near the lake at 7:00.

But I want you to know something, I don't care whether you reject my feelings, because I will always love you, and I'll never stop.

Until then, take care.

Love, Ash.

The sight of Ash's name in the end made her blushed like a tamato berry. (If you don't know what that is, it's a really red berry)

"T-T-that was… beautiful." Dawn thought while still blushing like hell.

"T-to think that ash had strong feelings for me to write something like this, I never thought that ash even knew these words… Wait a minute, Ash… Ash loves me?!?!?!" Dawn thought while frantically moving around the room blushing.

"Could it be at that moment in the forest that ash realized he was in love with me?" Thendawn remembered the awkward moment in the forest.

Then Dawn stopped moving and thought for a while, then dawn forced a little laugh. "Haha, what am I talking about? There's no way that ash, THE ash, will write something this romantic! It's just not possible! Hahaha… ha… haa… but… but what if is true?" Dawn blushed but not that much. "I mean, I think that I felt something too during that time… could it be that… that…"

But before she could finish thinking, the door opened that was in front of her and it turn out it was ash.

"Oh, hey dawn" said the surprised ash. Dawn hid the letter behind her back out of shock. "I thought that you were taking a shower".

"Huuu-uuuhh" she stammers. "of course I'm gonna take a shower. I'm just getting my stuff, you know, my conditioner, my special hairbrush, my…

"I get it, I get it." Said ash so that she can stop. "Man, you take time before and during showers, don't ya?" said the frankly annoyed ash.

"Alright then, im off!" said the nervous dawn while running out of the room

"Man… what's eating her?" said the weird-out ash.

While running: "Oh man! Just what I need! To think I would see ash after I read his letter! He didn't even seem fazed after writing the letter! He must be really serious about this." Dawn thought.

After the brutal encounter, ash got outside to train his pokemon while Dawn thinks in the showers, but Buneary, who saw everything in the room, was smiling to herself and thinking what a great job Team Rocket did:

(Wow, to think she believed that ash wrote it. Team Rocket are pretty good at this for a couple of thieves." Buneary then thought: "Now to write one more letter to ash and then they will fall for each other and Pikachu and I will be together from now on!" Buneary hopped her way outside to the rest of the pokemon with that fantasy, and thought about the next phase.

(Will the next phase work? Will Dawn fall for ash and him back? Will team rocket still help buneary? Find out at the next Chapter!
