Chapter - 8
At the cafeteria. The whole of the group gathers. Dawn is on her way to her friends.
Kenny: Hey there blue haired beauty! Come to here. I know you are looking for me.
Dawn: KENNY! You again! How many times should I say to stay away from me! Can't you get this thing inside your thick head! And stop addressing me like that. I am not a thing.
Kenny: I won't mind if you had snack with me.
Dawn: You son of a bitch! Stay away. I have many more important things to deal with than talking to you. Get lost.
Ash: Sap- Dawn what happened? I heard you screaming.
Kenny: Dawn was talking to me. Any problem?
Dawn: I WASN'T TALKING TO YOU! I WAS SCOLDING YOU FOR YOUR INSOLENCE.
Ash: Dawn, leave him. Let's go to friends.
Dawn leaves. Ash gives a really pissed. Kenny had aroused Ash's monster form.
Ash: Stay away from her.
Kenny: Who are you to tell me that?
Ash: His boyfriend, his love.
Kenny is shocked to listen this. He was shattered. There was only one thought in his mind 'How can Dawn, His Dawn, love someone else, and that someone else is Ash. He has to do something to make Dawn his. ONLY HIS.' He left the hostel cafeteria in extreme disgust.
Gary: (in a concerned tone) what happened Dawn? You look pissed.
Dawn: (takes in a deep breath, releases and then speaks) I am pissed because of that Kenny. He just annoys me like anything. He makes me feel to plant a rock hard punch on his nose.
Ash: I don't think he will do anything anytime soon Dawn. (Grabs her hand) He can do nothing to you when anyone of us is with you.
May: Ash you are right. He is likes Dawn like a psycho. You can tell if you can get a glance at his room. His room is filled with your pics Dawn. He looks to me as if he is stalking you.
Dawn: I think guys you are worrying a little too much.
Drew: Well Dawn, I think you should not be left alone. I think he can go to any extent to get you with him. He is a lunatic.
Serena: Before you say anything Dawn, I would suggest that you should not worry about it at least when we guys are around.
Dawn: No need to worry guys, I will be fine.
All except Dawn: And that's when we worry the most.
Dawn: Guys, anyways, we have planned something for tomorrow.
Ash: What is it dear?
Serena: All of you boys have to go and buy us a new dress. One dress for each girl. You have to help yourself with it. We are not going to come with you tomorrow.
Clemont: But why not?
May: Because we have different plans for tomorrow.
Drew: What plans?
Misty: That's a secret. And boys, choose the dresses carefully.
Gary: Don't worry girls, we would try our best to impress you.
Dawn: I'm impressed, Gary. (Starts giggling)
Gary: (between giggles) thank you Dawn.
Ash: (between giggles) now that's enough guys.
Everyone starts giggling. After snack, all the friends leave to their respective rooms.
The next morning.
Dawn: May, you up?
May: Yes! I am so excited about today.
Dawn: So it's Drew who has got you psyched.
May: Hasn't Ash got you psyched, 'sapphire'?
Dawn: How do you know that name of mine?
May: Ash told about it to the boys and Drew told it to me.
Dawn: Ash told everyone about it!
May: Spit your anger out and just chillax. We have to do a lot of work for our special evening.
Dawn: May, why don't we start decorating this room already?
May: But the boys aren't out yet.
Dawn: Let's finish with this room now, and when the boys leave, I'll help you out in decoration of that room.
May: That's good. I will sure need a helping hand. Okay, so let's start.
After a few minutes later someone knocks the door.
Dawn: Who's there?
Ash & Drew: It's us girls. May we come in?
May: Don't dare to enter. Wait we are coming to talk.
May and Dawn go out and stand beside their partners.
Dawn: What is it boys?
Ash: We were thinking if you could tell us your dress size, so, you know, there is no problem with fitting.
May: That's it? Okay, mine is S and Dawns is XS.
Dawn: So know you know what you wanted to, so you may leave. Bye. See you in the evening.
The girls enter the room and slam the gate. Their giggles could be heard clearly from the other side of the door. Ash and Drew stare with a blank expression on their face.
The boys leave for the shopping mall.
Gary: Hey, Ash, look at that dress. It reminds me of Dawn.
Ash: That dress is so lovely! I remember that Dawn loves those kinds of dresses.
Drew: Do you think that dress would look good on May?
Ash: You know it better Drew.
Clemont: That dress will look fantastic on Serena.
Ash: Gary have you bought all these dresses for Misty?
Gary: Oh I completely forgot about Misty.
Ash: Then these many dresses, for whom?
Gary: I thought all these dresses would look good on 'Sapphire'.
Ash: I am enough about thinking for my Sapphire.
Gary: Don't forget I have a huge crush on Dawn.
Ash: Stop saying that. I'm getting jealous.
Gary: Someone sure is possessive about his 'Sapphire'
Ash: Pick a dress for misty and lets leave. Gary we would be waiting for you at the food arena.
(After 30 minutes.)
Drew and Ash knock May and Dawn's room.
Dawn opens the door. She lets Ash in and tells Drew that may is waiting for him in his room. Drew leaves.
Ash: Dawn, why have you switched off the lights?
Dawn: Switch them on cutie.
Ash does so. He is astonished at the sight in front of him. A dinner table covered with a white and blue cover. Blue and white flowers were scattered all over the room.
Ash: I am….. This… is….. Lovely!
Dawn: you liked it? That's nice. I was planning a date for us. After all, we didn't have a single date.
Ash: Is this what you were doing all the time?
Dawn: Preparing food and decorating the room, yep.
I would give the description of the date in the next chapter. I hope you enjoyed reading it.
