"Ash! What a surprise to see you here…" Zoey said in a somewhat frustrated tone.

"Huh? Zoey! What are you doing here? And what are you doing with Paul?" Ash asked, being the dense person he was.

"Hey ZOEY!" a girl's voice cried out.

"Oh, hi Dawn! And Brock too!" Zoey replied.

"Are you on your way to the Grand Festival too?" Dawn asked.

"Of course! I got my five ribbons, look!" Zoey then took out her ribbon case and showed it to Dawn.

"Wow! Almost looks identical to my collection!" Dawn then took out her case and showed it to Zoey.

While the girls were conversing, Paul had decided to walk away from the gathering. Ash however, noticed this and decided to talk to Paul.

"So Paul, what are you doing here?"

"That's none of your business, loser." he then walked away slowly with his hands in his pocket. Zoey however, noticed this and decided to cut her conversation with Dawn short.

"Well, I'll see you at the Grand Festival then. Later!" she then ran off leaving the gang clueless as to what had just happened.

"Why was Zoey's left arm bandaged…" Dawn wondered.

Meanwhile…

"So close…" Paul had thought to himself.

Paul had been walking non-stop for about 2 minutes now, walking into a forest. He didn't care where he was heading to, he just wanted to get away from the commotion. He never liked talking to people and he was most likely never going to. The only person he felt comfortable talking to was Zoey, and he was inches away from kissing her…

"Paul!" someone had shouted.

Paul immediately recognized the voice, it was Zoey's.

He spun around and saw his origin of happiness. There was the girl who had changed him, in a matter of days from a mean and heartless jerk into a 'somewhat' caring person. Zoey was running up to him and he didn't know what to do, so he followed his instincts. He opened his arms and allowed Zoey to crash into him, both of them in a tight embrace. Why he was hugging her? Neither of them knew, but it sure feel good… It was evident that both of the lovers knew their feelings for each other, but neither would've had the courage to admit it. But he decided on it. He would tell her tonight at the campfire before they went to sleep.

. . .

It was just around 10 pm and both teenagers were profoundly tired. They were sitting on a log with a campfire in front of them. Zoey was cuddling Paul while he was warping his arm around her.

"Well, now seems to be the perfect time to tell her…"

He had turned to face her and she had done the same. Before he was about to say his words, she had smashed her lips against his. As a reaction, he had pushed her away, instantly regretting it. She was now on the hard, cold forest floor, with a look of shock and sadness in her face. Both were thinking of the same thing.

"No, no… this can't be happening…"

Zoey was the first to show her emotions. She had begun crying like she had done the time they had met at the Pokemon Center. Paul was heartbroken and felt like a jerk for what he had done. He had to make it up to her. Without Zoey noticing, he had stood up, walked over next to her and crouched down so that their faces were now on the same level. Zoey was still in tears but Paul still did it anyways; he had pushed his lips into hers and they kissed. Although it wasn't technically their first kiss, it sure felt like it. Zoey's feelings were now from sorrow to pure happiness. Although her eyes were still red from the crying, her content looking face had compensated for it. They both now stood up completely, but still continued their passionate kiss. Paul had his arms around Zoey's waist while she had her arms around his neck; it was the perfect first kiss. They eventually broke apart for a quick breath of air before Zoey forced her lips back onto his. They continued this process for a couple more minutes before they broke apart for the final time to sit back on the log and cuddle each other. They both felt as though the whole world was theirs....
