Herro there! So here's another chapter and it seemed I lied because I did forget about this! Sorry It's a bit short, I'm trying to make it longer! Forgive me?

BTW I donno if I told you already but, Silver is from the Pokemon Special Manga so if you have the time look him up! He's adorable 3

Chapter 11:

Let's get along, shall we?

"Hey guys, I'm gonna look ahead!" said a cheerful Amako. It's not everyday you get stuck in a cave with your worst nightmare or a ghost or a person whom resembles your worst nightmare. But for Dawn, we'll say she isn't a lucky girl, what's most awful is she and her companions are running out of supplies. Soon their food supply will run dry and they will have to accept their fate.

"Paul, if we get out of this cave, can we start over?" Another question out of the blue, but it's so strange she'd ask a very much relevant question.

"I don't know…" He mumbled, it didn't concern him and he didn't really care at the moment. Dawn folded her frail arms, finding herself starring at the purple headed jerk. Paul glanced at her from time to time and every time he looked at her, their eyes met. We all know what his thoughts were at this point… 'What the hell is she looking at?' We all ALSO know what DAWN'S were, 'What if…' No she couldn't be thinking about it, no, not at all! He was rude and cruel! There is no way she could've been with a boy like him. Ash and Brock wouldn't have approved of it! Dawn shook her head, why was she thinking about Paul and his relations with her anyway? Was she somehow-

"What's with that stare of yours? What's going on through your mind?" This is one of those questions Paul would rarely ask (he didn't ask many questions really). Most importantly this is one of those questions Dawn didn't feel very comfortable answering. Treating it like a rhetorical question she giggled and lightly punched his shoulder. She commented on how much of a jokester he was, even though he never told her any jokes of his own.

"Oh I see, you have a little crush on me, huh?" He smirked, "That's very flattering but I-" He paused. What did he think of the blue haired girl, what was she to him? Dawn frowned at him angrily then, she looked away.

"I guess you are right… just a little one…" This distracted Paul from his thoughts and he chuckled. How ironic she'd slightly fell for a boy she hated, that's a normal story though. Maybe Silver found the irony amusing as well, since he laughed too.

"What about you?" An awkward silence grew over them; he had to think about it… But then again, why would he?

"No, what makes you say that?" He stopped and everyone followed suit. Dawn stared at her boots, kicking the dirt. She seemed embarrassed to look up.

"You know, I just thought since you've gotten a bit soft and… You seem to like me…" She fiddles with her hair. Paul continued to stare at her as she looked back with pleading eyes. He took a quick glance at Silver and Chimchar. Their eyes found themselves on a rock in the cave; they wanted to avoid helping him. Maybe she was right, he'd gotten soft on her, but she was just one girl.

"Well, I don't get over it. You don't really like me so, it should be no problem." He said coldly, if he told her anything comforting she'd take it the wrong way… He didn't want anything to happen it this cave but, he had to deal with her and how fond she'd be to him soon. He didn't want her to feel closer to him and the only thing he had to do is act bitter towards her.

"You're right; it's nothing to make a fuss over." She said calmly, this shocked the purple-haired boy. He thought she was always immature; maybe being around him was somewhat of a good influence on her.

"How 'bout you, Silver?" He shook his head 'no' Dawn frowned. Silver didn't appear to really care about any of those things. He also didn't like to share anything about himself.

"Do you have any siblings?" He glared at her, it was better off not getting anything out of him. She sighed, walking in the direction that they were before. Paul and Silver glared at each other, Dawn was ten feet away with Chimchar.

"You aren't much of a talker, Silver." He asked his hands in his pockets.

"No, but you're girl sure is a piece of work." The red-head smirked.

"If you didn't recall our conversation earlier, she's not mine."

"You should make her yours before someone else does." Paul chuckled.

"Are you gonna try to make a move on her?"

"Not at all, she would really like a stranger snuggling with her." That's what she didn't want to have his warmth a while back.

"That's true, I know from experience." Silver laughed.

"Have you always been so soft on her?"

"Yeah, she's just clueless girl, so I thought she'd listen to me if I was nicer."

"What's your plan until you get out?"

"Be as cold as winter. If she respects me enough, she won't be a problem. Plus, I don't want her to think I have a thing for her."

"Don't you already?" This sounded familiar, that voice in his head went away a while ago. Maybe he was going crazy and such.

"No, falling for her will cause problems. Especially when he friends hate my living guts; I bet you if she didn't follow me into this cave we'd both be out there… Hating each other."

"Do you still hate her?" Paul took the time to think about his answer. He wasn't really comfortable with a lot of questions.

"No, not really, she kept me company. If we stay together any longer; I don't want to think about being attached to her." He looked at Dawn, "If I was, what would I say to her friends? 'Hey can I tag along with you guys? Why? Oh! Because, I seem to get lonely at night!' That's a big NO"

"Paul, you're crazy!" Dawn said giggling, Paul looked away… He talked too loud; Silver slightly smiled containing a laugh.

"Did you hear our chat?" Dawn shook her head and sweetly smiled.

"I wish I did… Hey, Silver?"

"Hm?" She locked her arm around his.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" She asked.

"No."

"That's good to hear." Silver raised an eyebrow, awkwardly staring at her. She winked at him and put her index finger over lips. He nodded his head, playing along.

"And why's that? Do you want to be my girlfriend?" He smirked as Paul observed.

"Maybe… Do you want me to?" Silver cupped her chin, leaning down. Paul's eye-twitched, he could help but grab the collar of his shirt.

"Do you want a kiss from me?" He snickered.

"WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?" Silver pushed him away, which pissed him off.

"Let go…" Paul loosen his grip, Silver glanced at the blue eyed girl.

"I told you to make her yours before someone else did."

"YOU SAY YOU WOULD MAKE A MOVE ON HER!" He snapped.

"Well, I changed my mind."

"You know, Paul, I can choose who I like." Dawn stated.

"Yeah but…" He paused, "…Fine, whatever, I just think it's wrong for him to do that to you."

"Satisfied?" Silver asked as she smiled, nodding her head.

"Even Paul has his limits with me." She giggled, Paul rolled his eyes.

"Its okay, Paul, I just wanted to know if you cared or not."

"You didn't think I cared? I cared when I didn't know exactly where you were at! I cared when that cut was on you arm! I cared when it went away! I even cared when you slept, because I knew if I went to sleep as well, I'd wake up and not know where you went!" Silver stepped in between them.

"Give her a break, PAUL, you shouldn't yell at her!" They glared at each other again.

"Shut the hell up, your not part of this!"

"I'm not? She wanted to know if you cared who she was with! And YOU make a big fuss over it! She's curious; you out of all people should know that." He was absolutely right; he'd known her longer than a look-alike.

"You know, you're a pain in the neck." Silver chuckled, pushing Dawn towards the dark eyed boy. Dawn extended her hand out, inviting him to shake it. He grabbed her hand and pulled her into a warm hug. She smiled, rubbing her head against his chest.

"I think you're right, I have gotten soft on you…" He lightly pushed her away.

"…Because, I HATE HUGGING YOU!" She didn't expect that.

"You always think I'm your teddy bear to cuddle with!" Dawn's face went red.

"I've only hugged you 3 times! Anyway, you are a teddy bear! You sure act like it!" She teased.

"Shut it! I don't want to hear from you! You're making me crazy!" He couldn't explain it, but he was gradually changing and he didn't even notice… At least they're getting along!
