~Dawn's Diary, Chapter Two~
That night, Dawn cracked open her diary and began to write. She sat up in her sleeping bag and scribbled quickly. But not without Brock watching her movements.
When Dawn rolled over and went to sleep, Brock tiptoed over. He stopped as he got closer, hoping not to be heard. The flames licked her delicate face and she looked so calm. The diary was placed right next to her body with her hand on top of it, and Brock wasn't exactly sure how to get the book.
The only way to take the diary would be to snatch it quickly. Closer, closer.. and there! He had it! Dawn rolled over but didn't wake up, to Brock's relief.
He ran back over to his sleeping bag and moved himself so he could use the flames of the fire for reading light.
Was it still wrong? Yes. Could he resist? No.
He flipped open a few pages past the first one, and recognized one entry being from the day the group was in the Bewilder Forest. What a day.
Dear Diary,
Okay, so I had to write down what happened today. I was overjoyed, scared to death, and pretty close to death, I'm sure.
So we were headed to Jubilife City. And we still are. It feels like we'll never get there. But guess who we found? Paul ,
of all people! He was going to battle Ash when Team Rocket came and wrecked it. Pikachu sent them blasting off, but the force from the blast sent Ash and Paul hurtling over the cliff! I almost died from a heart attack, my first near-death experience for the day. Paul went from branch to branch of this tree along the cliff so he could make it to the bottom, which was very impressive. But Ash just fell into the water. I felt sorry for him, yet embarrassed by him at the same time. I guess there's just nothing you can do about these things, eh?
Brock and I wandered around for what felt like hours before we found Ash. Unfortunately, he was being chased by angry Beedrill! And when we got rid of the Beedrill, an Ursaring was after us! That was the second time I almost died! We ran into Paul, and he caught the Ursaring, thank goodness. My hero! Haha! Ash said that Paul wouldn't keep the Ursaring, but he was wrong. I think Ash is judging him too hard.
Brock smiled. He'd had no idea that this was the way Dawn felt! He couldn't wait to see what else she'd write, but he tucked the diary back by Dawn and went to bed.
The next morning, Ash and Dawn decided to go train again, so Brock took another peek at the diary. It was like a soap opera in real life, and he couldn't wait for the next episode.
He selected a random page and cracked it open. He was surprised that the whole page was dedicated to two words, but more surprised by what those two words were. The page, adorned by hearts and smiley faces, read,
Dawn + Paul.
Brock slammed the book shut. There was too much drama in this soap opera. And he'd have to go back and watch some older episodes.
