The six of them walked up to the desk where Nurse joy was. Brock immediatly pushed Ash and Dawn out of his way and grabbed Nurse Joy's hand and said in a soft tone, "Ah, Nurse Joy. My heart is pounding as fast as lightning. The day was so hot and tiring but now it's cool and livley now that I've with you. . ."
"Croagunk!" Croagunk used Poison Jab on his master's back.
Brock yelped and fell over. He grunted, "Err. . .now it's a painful day. . ."
The others watched as Croagunk grabbed Brock's leg and dragged him away.
Nurse Joy turned to the gang. "May I help you?"
Zoey said politly, "Yes, we would like to stay for a day."
"How many rooms?"
Zoey looked at Dawn and then Nurse Joy. "Uhh, two please."
Dawn looked at her confused. "Why not get three? That way you and I can stay in one, Brock and Ash can stay in one, and Barry and Kenny and have the other."
Zoey shrugged. "It's fine. I can handle those two." She looked back at the boys who were whispering to eachother and laughing.
Dawn gave her friend a boring look. "You sure?"
Zoey nodded her head.
Dawn noticed how Barry and Kenny were laughing really hard about something while Ash just looked at the ground and didn't do anything.
Dawn wondered, are they laughing at him or does he not think what they're saying is funny. . . She remembered when Kenny called her DeeDee and how Ash said he wasn't laughing at her. Could they be laughing about me and Ash is trying to stand up for me? No, it's not possible. He would take their side over mine any day.
But she was dying to find out. She walked over to them and smiled. "So, what are you guys laughing about?"
Kenny and Barry stopped laughing and their faces turn bright red.
Kenny leaned against the desk and said, "We weren't laughing. What makes you think we were laughing?"
Dawn looked over at Ash. "He's the one who wasn't laughing. I saw you guys."
Ash looked up at her. He struggled for words. "I just didn't think it was funny."
Dawn blinked. "Didn't think what was funny?"
Ash stammered. "Uhh. . ." He looked over at Barry who was signaling for him not to tell. Kenny gave a thumbs down and shook his head.
Ash made something up. "I didn't think it was funny how Barry ran into me."
The other boys sighed with relief.
But Dawn wasn't persuaded. She said with a soft tone. "You aren't lying to me. . . are you?" She stepped closer to him so that there noses were three inches apart.
To see how close Dawn got to him made him blush a little. He hated lying to Dawn. He didn't care if the other boys got mad at him, he would tell her what they were really laughing about. . .
But before he even got to speak, Zoey came with two cards in her hand. She handed one to Ash. "Here you go, the key to your guys's room."
Zoey kept the other one.
Barry blinked with surprise. "We have to share a room with you while Ash, Brock, and Dawn share one?"
Zoey said, "Well I figured since they travel together all the time that they would be more comfortable staying in the same room."
Everyone went to their rooms and met in Zoey, Barry, and Kenny's room.
