Hey hey, it's the 6th day! That means we're half way done :P I've quite enjoyed writing this so far, it's been really fun! And sometimes challenging considering it's not me who has been coming up with the themes. This one is fun though! May and Dawn are just gonna cause some trouble, that's all... ;D

Cookies

The delicious, familiar scent wafted through the house, filling every room and sweetening the air. Ash, being as obsessed with food as he was, followed his nose to the kitchen, where he found Dawn looking into the oven.

"Are you making cookies?" Ash asked hopefully. Dawn stood up and looked at Ash with dull blue eyes.

"Yes, I am."

"Whoa, what's with that look?" Ash blinked. Dawn was rarely ever in a bad mood. She was always so preppy and happy-go-lucky. He was certain he'd never seen this side of the bluenette before.

"Misty told me what you do when there are treats around," Dawn sauntered over to the counter, where she went to work mixing another bowl of dough, "she said you inhale them like a starved Munchlax."

"She's a liar. Don't you know that by now?"

"Stay away from the oven, Ketchum!" Dawn spun around, pointing the goo covered wooden spoon at Ash, "those cookies are for everyone. You know; me, Brock, Misty, May, Max, Tracey, and you. So you better not eat them all."

"You're acting like I'm some kind of horrible thief," Ash frowned as he pulled out a chair, "do I look like Team Rocket to you or something?"

"Well, you can be a bumbling idiot sometimes."

Without even turning around, Ash furrowed his brow and responded, "Why do you always have to be like that Misty?"

"Be like what?" She strode over and sat down next to the disgruntled boy, "I'm just truthful is all. And the truth hurts."

"The only thing you hurt is my head," Ash rolled his eyes.

"Ash, there's no reason for me to give you a headache. You don't have a brain."

"HEY!" Ash got into Misty's face, anger raging through his brown eyes.

"That's enough out of you two," Dawn sighed, once again pointing her ladle out, "all you've done since we got here is argue. Honestly, you fight more than May and Max. And this is coming from someone who's younger than you."

Ash and Misty shot each other dirty glares before turning back around, Ash folding his arms and Misty sticking her nose in the air. Meanwhile, May came skipping into the kitchen, planting herself firmly next to Dawn.

"Is the first batch done?" She whispered to the younger girl.

"Uh huh, they're over there," Dawn pointed towards the cooling rack.

"So, can I decorate them?" May asked with a mischievous glance thrown over her shoulder towards the older teens.

"Go for it," Dawn snickered, knowing exactly what May was up to.

The brunette squealed delightfully and hurried over to the rack, quickly opening up several jars and tubes of frosting, and using plastic knives to beautify the cookies.

"They're all done!" May spun around, sapphire eyes shining with delight, "now, who wants a cookie?"

"I do!" Ash and Misty called out at the same time. They turned to give each other more hostile glares. May chuckled at their reactions and shuffled over, handing each teen a heart shaped cookie.

"There you go!" May snickered as she walked back next to Dawn. She brushed up against the younger girl, the two trying to stifle their laughter. Dawn peered over her shoulder ever so slightly, waiting for the two friends' reactions.

"Hey May," Ash called out, "what the heck is A and M?"

"And why does mine say 'forever'?" Misty questioned.

May and Dawn covered their mouths, desperately holding back an onslaught of laughter. Suddenly, Ash and Misty understood, and immediately began ambushing their friends with their voices.

"MAY, WHAT THE HELL!" Ash screamed.

"WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?" Misty shrieked.

May and Dawn doubled over, leaning on each other as they roared with uncontrollable laughter.

"That's disgusting," Misty leapt up, storming out of the room with cookie in hand.

Ash took a bite out of his before following Misty's lead, "you're just lucky they taste good."

As Dawn and May's laughter began to subside, Dawn stood up and wiped her eye, announcing in a sing song voice, "merry Christmas!"

"They are going to get together one day," May chuckled gently as she took a bite of her own cookie, "they're just gonna' need a little help."

"Well, that's what we're here for," Dawn winked playfully.

"Yeah, and my cookies too," May smirked deviously.

I'm convinced at times that May and Dawn will one day be the ones to get Ash and Misty together. Am I right? Too bad Misty wasn't around when Lyra was. That girl shipped anything with a pulse.

Or maybe the only way they'd get together is what I'll present next chapter...hehe. But you'll have to wait until tomorrow! :)
