You're The Reason

by: Season Of Magic

{-}

Everyone that could be thought of and was able to make it to Pallet town was called and invited to stay at professor Oak's laboratory.

The lab was no longer filled with men and women in white coats doing research but teenagers and young adults laughing, sharing stories and showing their support for Ash. Okay that last one doesn't count as much when all they're doing is gambling away their money.

Dawn, Duplika, Casey, Melody, Marina, Lyra, May, Zoey. Mitari, Bianca, Jimmy, Ritchie, Tori, Kenny, Barry, Drew, Gary, Ethan, Khoury, Max and Cheren had all been sitting in the backyard with four deck of cards put together playing as many card games as they could think of.

It was Drew whom started making bets with May about winning and everyone wanted to join in, that's how the gambling started after only the first round.

"Do you have any fives?" May asked Drew curiously. It was her turn in the game they were playing right now.

"Sorry May dearest but I do not," he responded as he flipped his hair and shook his head, pointing to the deck of cards piled in the middle. "go fish darling."

May uttered a few curse words under her breath and picked a card groaning. "This sucks."

Dawn grinned. "It'll suck even more after this," she responded as she extended her arm. "fork over the five please."

May sighed and passed her friend the card "Here you go." she mumbled and then placed all her cards down and crossed her arms.

"The betting hasn't even started for this round yet and you look defeated May that's not good." Gary said from the other side of the room.

"I'm lost. Why are we playing a card game when we could be helping out Ash?" Kenny asked confused

"It'll pass time quicker if we occupy ourselves. We're not all heroes here you know." Max responded back

"Dawn do you have any eights? If you don't prepare to be fined" Barry said looking at the bluenette with a serious face.

Dawn laughed as she picked a card from the center pile.

"There's your answer Barry now hand over that eight!" Zoey said laughing.

"Sheesh I think this mixing up decks thing makes everything more complicated." Melody stated.

"It's over four hundred cards what do you expect?" Casey stated.

"In a way it makes the game more interesting because you have no clue what could happen" Dawn said.

"And the cards never seem to run out the center pile" Mitari said.

Bianca giggled "Is it bad that I'm half expecting them to just sprout legs and move out the way saying they're tired of being mixed up with other cards?"

Cheren, whom was sitting next to the girl sighed. "One would be a fool to think less of your imagination."

Bianca hugged her male best friend. "Aww thanks Cheren!"

"Gah! Get off me." Cheren said prying the girl off him. "That wasn't a compliment."

"You're so mean."

"To her it might as well have been a compliment you know how she gets." Mitari uttered and everyone else laughed.

Bianca nudged her head to the side curiously "Huh? I don't get it."

Cheren simply petted the girl "Its best you don't know." he said and then went back to his cards.

"But I do want to know oh come on Cheren tell me please."

"Nope."

Bianca sighed and huffed "No kisses for you today then."

Cheren blushed. "Like I want a kiss from you!"

"Oh really?" Bianca said and Cheren nodded then gulped when she smirked, he was not liking where this was going, not one bit. "That's not what you were saying last night."

Cheren blushed even more and the girls all glanced towards Bianca awestruck.

"Is this true Cheren?" Mitari asked confusedly.

"He doesn't kiss and tell..." Bianca uttered and then grinned "but I do so yes we kissed."

As all the guys whistled, Cheren face palmed himself. If he was not dating the clueless girl he would have killed her at this instant.

Dawn smiled "That is so adorable there's another couple in the making..." and she was lost in thought to Ash.

"We're already dating." Cheren mumbled but everyone heard it and grinned.

"How long were you two going to keep it from me?" Mitari asked glancing at her friends.

"I would have told you sooner but this idiot wouldn't let me." Bianca said as she took hold of Cheren's hands.

"And for good reason too I mean look at all the commotion we're causing."

"They're happy for us you imbecile."

"Yeah and watch Mitari kill us later."

Mitari laughed and shook her head. "I wouldn't get upset because you're dating. What I am mad at however is you keeping this a secret from me!"

May joined in the conversation. "Since you're Bianca's best friend when they get married you get to be the maid of honor so I bet you won't be too upset then huh?"

Zoey nodded. "Dawn kept it a secret from us too and when she and Ash get married May, Misty and I better get top priorities."

Bianca, Cheren and Dawn all blushed and responded together. "Who said anything about marriage! You're all insane."

Dawn was the one who recovered first and easily counter attacked May's comment. "Well it most likely will end up having a triple wedding then because we cannot forget about you and Drew."

"Hey leave me out of this!" Drew responded with a blush eminent on his face.

"Oh come on Drew everyone knows you have the hots for May and vice versa. We're not blind to your flirting." Misty responded

"I repeat you're all insane this is not the time to be gossiping." Cheren stated

"You didn't negate the idea of marriage," May said with a smug look. "seems like you're not too opposed for it."

"I'm fifteen; marriage is something that is obviously not on my mind. It's you stupid girls that get it engraved into your brains since an early age."

"White dress, a flower girl, the most elegant decorations..." Bianca begun but Cheren shut her up with a "See! My point is proven."

"Can you all argue some other time? I want to get back to the game." Kenny said

"You know what...I have a brilliant idea on how to make this more interesting." Drew said

"How?" everyone asked

"Simple. We're also playing truth or dare along with Go Fish."

"How would that work?" Bianca said trying to occupy her mind away from the marriage talk and other weird things.

"It's easy. We'll put our names into a hat and whenever someone goes fishing in the pile of cards they also have to pick a name from the hat. The person who's name is picked has to ask a truth or dare to the other person depending on their choice."

Misty and Zoey clapped their hands excitedly "We like that idea!"

Everyone was entertained listening to Drew's detailed explanation on the new twist, everyone but Dawn that is. "What can they all be up to?" she wondered out loud.

May stopped listening to Brock and placed a hand on Dawn's shoulder and patted her friend. "Everything will be alright" she said with a smile

"I hope so."

"No need to worry see? Here comes Ash right now."

And indeed Ash was seen coming out the house with Brock, Cilan, Iris and Misty in tow.

"Hey guys can we join in too or is it too late?" Ash said as he walked up to Dawn and pointed at the cards that were being shuffled by Melody, Ritchie and Gary.

"Nah you can join in anytime you want. Go ahead just sit down somewhere guys." Daisy said with a smile and Gary was seen adding another deck to shuffle.

Cilan, Iris, Misty and Brock went and sat down in the end while Ash just stayed standing up.

"Ash we're going to start without you if you don't sit down." Gary said as he started passing out cards.

"I wanted to sit down next to Dawn but there's no space." Ash said glancing at Barry who sighed and stood up.

"Fine I'll go sit someplace else." Barry responded.

"No you don't have to..." Dawn intervened.

"It's fine Dawn," Barry responded with a grin "I'll just make sure to take it extra hard with Ash for the favor I'm doing him."

As Ash sat down he glanced at Cilan, Iris and Mitari whom were all smirking. Barry had no clue what he was getting himself into.

"Okay what game do you all want to play? Let me just say that since there's too many of us any kind of poker and blackjack are not going to be taken as suggestions."

Bianca raised her hand and giggled "Let's play another round of Go Fish."

Everyone nodded. It seemed like a good idea.

"I guess we can play the regular way for a bit and incorporate Drew's idea for the next round." Mitari said

Ash placed one shoulder around Dawn and grinned beckoning her to come closer to him "Let's play together." he whispered to her

Dawn laughed and swatted his hand away "That would be cheating."

"It's not if we play as a team" Ash replied "Hey everyone me and Dawn are playing as a team!"

May shrugged and took the cards Dawn had been given "Fine by me but you only get to play using one of your dealt hands."

"See? Told you it would be fine now come here." he said as he gave her his cards, pulled her closer to him and wrapped his arms around her."That's better."

By now Dawn was blushing so much she just tried to hide her face using the cards "Everyone's staring at us." she whispered to him.

Ash shrugged "So? Let them."

"But..."

Ash laughed "Unless you want them to be staring at us for another reason..."

"And that would be?"

Ash pulled the cards away from her face then leaned in as if he was going to kiss her but then smirked "If I kiss you for example." he said

"Which I'm sure you won't do in front of us you're too much a chicken." Ethan yelled out laughing.

Ash glared at Ethan and then glanced back at Dawn and pulled her in for a short, sweet kiss.
