Yeah, Chapter 2.

I've also decided to name a theme song for each ship, this one, "He Said, She Said" by Ashley Tisdale.

And for those that ask, no, I'm not gay.


As Paul left the mall, Dawn followed, and as they reached outside, it was snowing.

Paul: Of course, my new shoes, now in snow.

Dawn: Seriously Paul, just take a serious chill pill and just relax for a bit, it's snow.

Paul: I don't do fun, alright.

Dawn: What's your version of fun, blasting Pokemon?

He sighed and started walking again.

Paul: I don't have time for this. I need to get some food.

Dawn: Ooh, I'm hungry too.

Paul: And please, for the love of god, stop following me!

He walked away, cold, leaving her to stand there with a glum look on her face. She sighed and walked in a different direction.

As Paul reached the center of the town, he cleared some snow and sat down on the bench. That's when a man with a cane, a top hat, a black suit, and a skull mask on walked up to him.

Man: Pretty cold uh?

Paul just tried to ignore him.

Man: I saw you and your girlfriend arguing, trust me, it's just the first stage.

Paul: She's not my girlfriend, I barely even know her.

He looked behind him to notice the skull mask.

Man: You're lying, I can see it in your eyes.

Paul: So, what does it matter to you?

Man: Simply put, I am what most men call, oh, a business man. I look and try to find the right business, and work with what I have, I've found you.

Paul: Pathetic.

Man: Oh, I feel hurt, pathetic you say, no, on the contrary, I see it as, a job.

Paul: You stalk people just do business, you're either pathetic or a crazed entrepreneur.

Man: Oh, on the contrary my lad, I'm equally as good as business as you are of turning girls down. What, was that your, third one?

Paul: How did you-

Man: Trust me, I've been following for your entire stay here in Mercury City. My name's Mundo Kindo, now, I won't distract you any longer, I'll leave you to your dinner.

Mundo started walking away, until turning around.

Mundo: Oh, and if you ever do see Dawn again, give her my regards.

Paul: I'll be lucky if I never see her again.

Mundo chuckles a bit. Paul then turns around and starts to walk off, until Mundo speaks.

Mundo: Oh-

Paul turns around.

Mundo: And Paul, you might want these.

Mundo suddenly throws Paul a set of keys.

Paul: Why would I-

When he look up, Mundo's gone. Paul lets out a breathe and heads out to the restaurant.

When he arrives there, he immediately gets a booth. When his menu comes, he orders a glass of pop (he may to bad-ass but he's still underage). That's when he glances over and notices that Dawn also enters.

Paul: You've gotta be kidding me.

He puts the metal tray the pop was served on in front of his face, so Dawn, sitting in a few tables far, wouldn't see. Eventually, she notices, upon checking out the restaurant, Paul's new shoes he had just bought. She giggles a bit, and walks over next to her.

Waitress: What might I get you cute couple tonight?

Paul puts down the menu to notice Dawn. He sighs.

Paul: Spaghetti with meatballs and a vegetable roll please.

Waitress: Thank you, and you miss?

Dawn: Same please.

Waitress: Alright then, you're food will be with you in about 15 minutes.

Dawn: We'll be waiting.

The waitress as she walks away.

Paul: Why do you guys keep following me?

Dawn: Oh come on Paul, you've gotta admit, you do enjoy my company?

Paul: The only thing good about your company is that I never know who you are.

A flame suddenly appears behind her, her eyes become red, and her expression that of a demon.

Dawn: The group isn't here to stop me.

Paul: Oh please, you wouldn't even try.

She cracks her knuckles.

Dawn: What's my name?

Paul: Was it Dusk?

He started smiling as she inched closer.

Dawn: Try again.

Paul: Moon?

A growl formed.

Dawn: Nope.

Paul: How about-

All of a sudden, Dawn launches at him, doing whatever she can without actually hurting him. They went all around the restaurant, disturbing many a people. A girl suddenly screams, and her table flings up to see Meowth and James there, wearing mariachi outfits. Dawn stops, and she is seen pulling Paul's arm back with her foot. They each stare at each other. James plays his guitar, and then they bolt.

Paul: It's Dawn, Dawn!

Dawn lets go and brushes her hands.

Fat Man: Get out!

Paul gets up and flings his hair back, emo fashion.

Paul: Forget this, I'd rather not eat then deal with you.

He then opens the door and leaves, and of course, Dawn follows.

Dawn: Paul wait.

Paul: Just shut-up right there. All I wanted to do in this city is just relax without having to deal with your stupid group.

Dawn: Come on Paul-

Paul: No, you're stupid. The one who can actually fight less than half decent treats his Pokemon as if they were brothers, the blind one fantasizes over the first girl he sees either over or exactly his age, the yellow rat doesn't know when to shut-up, and you, oh, you, you're just the most ditsy, overrated, loud mouthed, optimistic, pathetic person I have ever met.

With each insult he took a step closer.

Paul: And if given the opportunity to grab you by the collar and throw you half way across the Earth, I would in a heartbeat.

Dawn: Then why don't you?

She said that breathing on his ear. Paul realizes that they are inches away. He then backs up, recalling each insult.

Paul: Not only will this secret not come out, but if I ever see you again, I don't even know.

He walks back towards the hotel district.

Dawn: Which hotel?

Paul: Seaking!

Dawn: That's ours.

Paul: You've got to be kidding me!

He kicks some random can in anger. Ash walks up to her staring at Paul. He waves his hand in front of her face.

Ash: Dawn, hello?

He has a rose in his hand.

Dawn: Oh, hey Ash, where did that rose come from?

Ash: Internet.

Pikachu: Pika

He nods as she starts giggling when Brock suddenly walks up, blushing and looking up.

Brock: Oh the day I've had.

Ash: I hear that.

Dawn: Yeah.

She's still staring in the direction of Paul.


So ends Chapter 2
