Chapter 9: Paul and Dawn's Date! Surprises!

What's a day with Paul and Dawn? Much screen time hasn't been brought to this lovely, adoring couple. A day of just each others company.

"Paul, what should we do?" Dawn asked for the fifth time.

Paul clearly showed his irritation, he had to admit to himself that he was completely clueless when it came to coming up with dates. Heck, Drew did all the planning or even Ash for the matter he merely tagged along not wanting to think. Sadly, today Drew and May were traveling back to Hoenn for at least a month. Ash was forcefully dragged by Misty to the Ceruleon gym, leaving Dawn and Paul.

"I don't have a clue, what do you want to do?" he asked finally answering Dawn or at least trying to.

"Paul! We have a day to ourselves which may I remind you, never happens often and when we do have alone time, we just take walks. We should try something new, something so wicked!" she said, loving her idea.

A sigh escaped from Paul.

"Like?" he asked.

Dawn opened her mouth to answer, but found herself thinking what exactly could they do. "Like...like...like go to the...the...theater?"

"I don't find that wicked" Paul stated. "Come on, I have an idea."

Dawn found herself being dragged by Paul, not knowing where they were headed.

~~HinagikuAi~~

"Heck no!" yelled a panicky Dawn, who happened to be standing very high off the ground, Paul had dragged her to bungy jumping.

"You said try something new, so this is what we're doing." answered Paul plainly.

"Not die new! I mean fun new!" Dawn said.

"Dawn, we're not going to die."

"I will! Paul how about you go and I'll stay here waiting for you." she said with so much hope.

"Too bad, ladies first." Paul smirked, he was enjoying this way to much.

"Alright, miss please follow us and we'll strap you up." Dawn froze, she refused to move, but lovely Paul shoved Dawn making her follow the guy with fear evident in her eyes and body.

"Have fun!" Paul called out to her the smirk still evident on his face.

As Dawn was being strapped up, her heart was pounding like crazy, so many thoughts were running wildly through her mind. 'Noo, this can't be happening! What if something goes wrong? What if I get sent to the hospital!...or worse, what if I end up dead!'

"Alright miss, all set and ready, whenever you're ready just jump" announced the young fellow.

Dawn gulped, she took baby steps and peered out, she stumbled back seeing how high she was. She glanced back to see Paul, his face showing no emotion. She knew she was never going to get out of this, so taking a deep breath, she jumped.

"Ahhhhh!" was all you could hear coming from Dawn.

Paul was astonished, his girlfriend actually jumped and it was even an hour.

Finally, once Dawn was unstrapped, she looked up to where Paul was standing. She shouted as loud as she could so he was able to hear.

"That was awesome Paul! I'll wait for you here!"

Paul nodded and went to go get himself strapped. Dawn eagerly waited for her boyfriend to jump. She wondered if Paul would yell? Then again, she doubted that. She saw Paul stand at the edge of the platform.

"You can do it Paul!" She shouted.

It didn't take long for Paul to jump off and as expected he didn't yell. She was able to capture some photos on her phone in time. She went over to where Paul was. He didn't utter anything for a while.

"Paul?" She asked, worried.

"Sorry, got lightheaded. Where to now?" He asked once he composed himself. She smiled and announced that she wanted to try surfing.

~~HinagikuAi~~

"Ahhhh!" A large splash was heard.

"Told you, you sucked at this." said Paul as he expertly surfed the wave.

Dawn's head popped out of the water and pouted.

"No fair! You have loads of experience and I don't!"

"Watch out." he called out.

"For what!" Dawn yelled out, instead of answering, he pointed. She turned and was hit by another wave. Seconds later, Paul started to get worried until a hand got a hold of his leg and he ended falling into the water.

"Gotcha!" Dawn said, now that both their heads were out the water.

"Troublesome." he muttered.

They surfed (meaning Paul surfed back to shore).

"Let's grab something to eat!" she exclaimed.

He shrugged and after they had both changed to some dry clothes, they headed off to eat.

~~HinagikuAi~~

Now heading home, they walked along, once reaching their place they opened the door and went in. Dawn switched on the lights.

"Surprise!"

"What!" Dawn shouted, startled by the sudden voices. Ash came up to Paul and gave him a hug to which ended up in a shove from the male.

"Happy Birthday Paul!" May said, grinning.

Dawn gasped and looked and Paul

"I almost forgot! Paul why didn't you say anything!"

Paul simply sighed. "I don't like parties."

"Well today we are celebrating your birthday! Let the party start!" Barry, an invited guest yelled out. So the party went on, but the next day was, well not so bright.

"Our house! Was robbed!" yelled Dawn, seeing the tons of trash piled around.

"No, this is the result of a party." Paul said.

"I hate parties!" Yelled out Dawn, she just knew she was going to end up cleaning all the mess and Paul would be sitting on the couch, with a smirk that read:

'You agreed with this party, you clean it.'

She sighed and went to the kitchen to get a broom. It was going to be a long day.
