PLEASE READ!
This is a rewrite. I am going to TRY to improve my grammer and TRY to be nicer to Kenny since I actually don't have anything against him. I'll try to fit more Penguinshipping, and I'll also try to fit in more Ikarishipping because most likely the story will end (if it ever does) with Ikarishipping (sorry Peguinshippers!)
"Well I guess you'll be leaving now." Caroline pointed out as everyone put on their bags.
"Yeah. I guess." May said sadly.
"Bye! We'll miss you all!" Drew and Paul called.
"Yeah. and we won't forget to write!" May added.
"We'll call everyone at every poke center!" Dawn and Misty continued.
"And keep you updated with all the news!" Max and Ash yelled. Max ran faster trying to catch up to Drew and Paul.
"And don't worry, I'll feed them healthy food and try to keep them out of trouble!" Brock assured the parents.
"OK! Behave, and listen to Brock, May and Max Maple!" Caroline yelled and waved goodbye like the other parents were doing.
"We will!" May and Max answered leaving the yard. All eight friends were now crossing the street and heading off to their new adventure.
"So... Where exactly are we going?" Max questioned once they left the city of Petlburg.
"I'm not sure. This whole time I've just been following them." May answered honestly motioning to Drew and Paul up front.
"OK then I'm going up with them." Max informed his sister.
"Why? They probably don't know what's going on anyways." Ash mumbled. Brock looked over sympatheticly. He knew Ash was jealous that May's only family on the journey liked Drew better than him, or so he thought.
Max looked up at Ash. "You say something Ash?" Ash looked back up. Then he turned to the little boy with a blank expression.
"No, nothing at all." Ash said faking a smile. "Not like you'd care. It's not like I'm Drew..." he added to himself as jelousy took over again.
"OK then. I'm gonna try to catch up to Drew and Paul." Max smiled awkwardly at his driends and older sister. Max turned ahead, but glanced at the group. Brock nodded as a response, Ash looked at the ground glumly, and Dawn and Misty waved him off with no indication of interest.
May glared slightly at her friends' disinterest, but shrugged it off and turned to Max. "Alright Max, but stay with them don't run ahead of them or you might get lost." May warned, knowing Max wouldn't stay with them if she told him to. Max nodded and walked faster.
"Alright. Alright, I won't run ahead." Max said relantuctly agreeing. Max was now at an almost jog, so he would be able to catch up to Drew and Paul before May changed her mind. "Annoying sisters..." Max mumbled running towards the two figures ahead.
"What did you say?" May screamed after the running boy. Max's head turned slightly back to face his glaring sister.
"Nothing!" Max yelled turning his head away from the upset May. Max smirked to himself as he began running full speed.
"Ugh!" May shouted in frustration. Misty and Dawn turned to her curiosly. "His picking up Drew's and Paul's annoying habbits. I don't I want him near them..." May mumbled half-jokingly.
"Like you wouldn't mind the extra company of Drew when you're babysitting Max." Dawn whispered to Misty. Misty and Dawn snickered at May. They both knew May had a crush on Drew. Or at least used to have one. May whipped her head around to look at Misty and Dawn, who immeadiatly stopped laughing.
"What was that?" May asked a bit dumbfounded at the reason why they were laughing. She didn't hear what her two friends were saying. Dawn and Misty waved their hands in front of theirselves.
"Nothing May. Nothing at all." Dawn smiled sweetly. Misty gave an innocent look and a disarming smile.
"OK then." May shrugged it off. She looked at them skeptically before shrugging and skipping slightly ahead. Misty and Dawn giggled as they continued walking.
With Drew and Paul:
Paul and Drew walked side by side in silence. Drew looked over at Paul. Paul looked ahead with the same bored expression he always had.
"So..." Drew broke the silence between the two. Paul looked up at Drew. Drew's emerald eyes were dull and filled with boredom. Paul was slightly annoyed by Drew's interuptance of the silent, which was rare since they traveled with so many people.
"Say something! This silence is killing me." Drew glared at the plum-haired boy. Paul shrugged.
"I thought you traveled alone." Paul replied with no emotion. Drew looked at Paul curiously.
"Yeah, but what does that have to do with anything?" Drew asked, relieved that they were finally talking. Paul rolled his eyes.
"So, shouldn't you be use to the silence?" Paul asked irritated. Drew shrugged.
"I guess, but I always have my Roselia out when I need to talk." Drew pointed out. "Sometimes I enjoy the peace and quiet, but other times I hate it. Now is one of the times." Drew continued.
"Fine. Uh... what are you planning to do with the red bubbly weirdo." Paul suggested with no interest. Drew looked to his side at the forest. Drew glared slightly at Paul for his comment.
'Wait...why do I care if Paul insults May?'
Because you like her!
'First of all, who the fuck are you? Second of all of course I like May, she's my rival!'
First of all I'm your conscience. Second of all I mean like like.
'I don't give a shit who you are, NO ONE mocks me! And I DON'T like Maybelle Maple, get it?'
I can mock you because I am YOU, so what are you going to do? Beat me up? Hahaha! And think about, not too long though, Paul's already impatient...
'Huh?'
Get back to Earth
Drew looked back at Paul who finally showed emotion... but the emotion he was shjowing was irritation. Drew cleared his throat to make an excuse, but Paul beat him to it.
"Anwser! You're the one who wanted to fucken talk!" Paul growled at Drew's ignorance. Drew blinked and apoligized under his breath.
"Alright. I already told you most of it," Drew stated, obviously still bored. Paul shrugged with disinterest, his oynx eyes never shifting from the front of him.
"True, but you could have thought of something better." Paul pointed out, also very bored. Drew shrugged.
"Touche." Drew respond. Drew opened his mouth and then a thumping noise interupted him. "Huh?" Drew asked, shifting his head 90 degrees to see what was behind them.
"What?" Paul asked. Paul kept his eyes on the path ahead of him while the sun beat down on the side of his face.
"Did you hear something?" Drew asked as he looked over his other shoulder. Drew glanced suspiciouly at his sides and at Paul.
"No." Paul stated as he glanced at Drew from the corner of his eye. He watched Drew with a hint of confusion in his oynx eyes. Drew looked forward again, but glanced at his side from the corner of his eyes every so often.
"I could have sworn I heard something." Drew replied with a curious expression. Drew shrugged and looked at Paul for a moment.
"Maybe you imagined it." Paul suggested. He returned his gaze to the road ahead of him. Drew gave Paul a skeptical reaction.
"I don't know." Drew shrugged. He looked to his sides just in case. He didn't notice anything in the bushes or trees. Then he glanced behind them again. "Isn't that Max?" Paul turned to look behind them.
"Yea that is." Paul agreed. Both boys stopped. They looked at the boy running boy who grew closer and closer since they stopped. Max ran up to them. He finally stopped in front of them. He leaned on his knees for support.
"H-he-y." Max panted. Paul looked over his shoulder, while Drew smirked. Paul wanted to leave.
"Hey." Drew greeted once Max stood up straight. Max nodded and turned to Paul with a broad smile.
"Sup." Paul greeted following Drew's example. Max smiled and nodded at them. Drew looked behind Max. He expected to see the group of friends running towards them.
"So what are you doing here? I thought you were behind with the rest." Drew asked. Max shook his head.
"Yeah. And speaking of the rest, where are they?" Paul asked not really caring. He looked at the road behind him again.
"They're behind that hill. You'll be able to see them in a few minutes." Max said pointing to the hill about 20 feet away. Then he turned to Paul and added, "You're not all that good with names are you?" Max added. He looked at Paul with a slight smirk. Paul scowled at him.
Paul grunted in response. Paul looked up ahead. He could see the sunset. "You guys?"
"Yeah?" Drew answered looking at Paul. Max followed his gaze towards the sunset.
"We should set up camp before it gets dark." Paul advised looking at the sunset for a split second.
"Oh yeah. We should." Drew replied looking at the sunset. Drew turned his head to a shady spot near the trees. "Let's set up camp there. May and the rest will keep traveling to catch up to them. So we'll build a fire and set up our stuff and wait for them." Drew suggested.
"Yea that sounds like a good idea." Max spoke up for the first time in the conversation.
"OK. Let's get going." Drew shouted running to the spot he pointed at. Paul shrugged and trudged ahead.
The trio set up camp and put their stuff down.
After a couple minutes of searching for wood, they had everything together. Then it took them about five minutes to set the fire and put their sleeping bag on the ground.
With 'The Rest':
"I'm tired!" Ash whined. This was the first thing anyone said to each other since Max ran ahead. "And hungry!" he continued. Brock chuckled and Misty rolled her eyes.
"Well as soon as we catch up to Drew and Paul we can camp and take a break." Brock told Ash. Ash groaned and swung his head to look at Brock.
"But they'll probably go all the way to the next city!" Ash complained thinking Drew and Paul would already be in the next city at their pace. "Actually, they're probadly there!" Ash pouted. Misty and Dawn giggled. May smiled slightly at the pouting boy.
"Wrong again Ashy-boy. We stopped." A cocky voice came from the other side of hill. A figure emerged from the hill and was at the top. May and Misty and Dawn ran all the way to him top of the hill.
"Damn it it's him!" Ash mumbled under his breath. 'I could of done something while we were walking! It was a perfect time, too! No Max and no DREW! Why didn't I do something?' Ash mentally scolded himself.
Brock smiled at a rest coming up. He knew Paul wouldn't be far and they could finally take a rest. Ash slumped and May, Dawn, and Misty smiled.
"Hey! Don't call me Ashy-boy!" Ash shouted as the girls reached the top of the hill.
"Drew!" they shouted in unison. Dawn bear hugged him. Drew stumbled back and fought back a blush at Dawn's random and fierce hug.
"No more walking!" Dawn shouted into Drew's shoulder. Misty rolled her eyes.
"Drama Queen." Misty mumbled. May cupped her mouth to prevent her giggles from being heard.
Ash scowled. 'Why is she so happy to see him?' Brock looked at Ash with concern, worried about him and wondering why he was scowling even though he had a pretty good guess on why.
"What? You missed me that much?" Drew smirked at the three now fuming girls.
"No! No one would miss you!" Misty retorted. Dawn pulled back angrily. May crossed her arms and nodded in agreement with Misty.
"We only are semi-glad to see you because now we can take a break!" Dawn shouted. Misty planted her hands hips. Drew smirked and looked back to see where Paul and Max were.
"Semi? Isn't that too hard of word for you to understand much less use, Troublesome?" Another arrogant voice came along with its owner, Paul. Dawn shifted her gaze to behind Drew. SHe turned red from anger and embrassment.
"No it isn't! I am smart! And I know how to use that word and I know what it means!" Dawn snapped at Paul. Misty and May glared at both annoying boys. Drew did a two finger salute and started to turn.
Paul grunted in response and started to walk away from them. "Let's go Drew." he merely said. Drew nodded and smirked at the girls.
"Alright. I mean we were going to tell them we set up our camp and were planning to offer to share it, but they seem like they don't want to be near us." Drew taunted. May and Misty looked at eachother. Dawn put up her index finger.
"Wait! You set up camp? Umm... Can we come?" Dawn asked. She was so tired and it was getting incredibly dark.
"Fine, Troublesome." Paul mumbled. Drew scoffed as the girls smiled broadly and ran to tell Brock and Ash, so they could all go to the camp for a well deserved rest.
"You just couldn't mess with them. Just 'cause troublesome asked right?" Drew whispered to Paul with a small smirk. Paul glared at Drew warning him not to even go there.
"Whatever." Paul replied trudging again. Drew rolled his eyes and quickened his pace.
Once the group made it near the camp they could see the fire. They also were able to see two figures by the fire.
"Hey why are there two people there?" Drew asked. Then seeing May was right behind him, he added, "Great I'm acting like clueless May." May glared at Drew. Paul rolled his eyes.
"You just had to add that just 'cause May was behind you right?" Paul whispered mockingly to Drew. Drew glared. 'Why is everyone mocking me!' Drew thought angerily.
"I don't know let's go check it out." Paul said louder. Drew and Paul jogged up to the camp site and the rest followed close behind.
"Hey guys!" Max greeted. Then the other figure looked up from the fire.
"Dee-Dee?" the unknown person asked. The group aproached the fire and a mutter of words came from the group.
"What the fuck?" Paul and Drew asked in unison. The unknown person stood up to reveal himself. He glared at Paul and looked through the group.
Dawn came from behind them and asked, "Kenny?" The figure smiled and nodded.
"Yea it's me, Kenny." Kenny replied. "So whatcha doing here, Dee-Dee?" he asked. Paul rolled his eyes and walked over by the fire. Drew lingered back with the group. Brock sat by the fire with Ash.
"I'm traveling with friends." Dawn answered calmly. "AND DON'T CALL ME THAT!" she burst out fuming and bright red from anger.
"There goes a side of Dawn I've never seen." Drew said astonished Dawn had it in her. May and Misty laughed slightly. Paul shifted his gaze over to them and smirked slightly.
"I've seen that side of troublesome. All I had to do was ask, 'who are you?', and there she blows." Paul smirked at the annoyance written clearly on Dawn's face.
"Well excuse me, Mr. Rudeness!" Dawn glared. Kenny scowled at the two.
"Whoa. Sorry Dee-Dee." Kenny laughed use to Dawn's tantrums and explosions on him for that nickname. He chose to ignore Paul's comment.
"I JUST SAID NOT TO CALL ME THAT!" Dawn shouted once more. Then Paul put his hand on her shoulder.
"Calm down Troublesome." Paul whispered in her ear. Dawn blushed madly and nodded slowly.
"O-K" Dawn stuttered.
"Yeah Dee-Dee chill." Kenny said a bit jealous that Paul did that.
"You shut the fuck up or I'll let her pound the shit out of you." Paul threatened. 'Or I'll do it myself. I enjoy pounding pathetic losers who mess with Dawn... I mean stupid cooridinators... Well she can't defend herself. She's weak annoying loud beautiful gorgeous... wait what? What the fuck am I thinking?' Paul thought with a hint of disgust. Dawn glanced at Paul almost thankful. May and Misty exchanged knowing glances as Drew's smirk grew.
"OK gosh." Kenny backed up a bit scared by Paul's threat.
"You should feel lucky Dawn." Dawn gave Drew a confused look. Drew went on to explain. "Paul doesn't just threaten other people for anyone." Drew smirked then burst out laughing at Paul's glare and Dawn turning bright red. Drew finally thought he shouldn't mess with his friend. "I'm kidding. Paul threatens anyone anytime especially weak trainers. Why do you think he still hasn't had enough of making fun of you?" Drew smirked. Dawn turned angerily at Paul.
Paul smirked. "Yea that part is true 100%." Kenny glared at both Drew and Paul.
Drew broke out laughing. He turned to Paul and stopped laughing. "He thinks he can scare us with that glare!" Drew exclaimed and returned to laughing. Paul's smirk became wider and looked like he was at the verge of laughing.
"You guys are so mean!" May pouted. Paul looked at the girl then chose to ignore her.
"Hey! Stop laughing!" Misty shouted. Dawn pouted and May went towards Kenny's side.
"Yea quit it! That's mean! Paul wipe that smirk off your face." Dawn yelled.
"And Drew, quit laughing! You're so immature!" May complained.
"You never noticed before?" Ash whispered not loud enough for her to hear. Brock rolled his eyes at Ash's jelousy.
"Why you guys laughing?" Max asked standing up from sitting next to the fire.
Drew finally stopped laughing. Paul turned his smirk to his regular bored look.
"Nothing important," Drew started, "We were just laughing. So anyone actually have their sleeping bags set up?"
"Immature idiots." Kenny pouted while angerily glaring at Drew and Paul.
"Stop fighting!" Dawn butted in, but of course was ignored.
"Yeah sure. Whatever you say." Paul smirked.
"Yeah." Drew snickered. "You can bekieve anything you want." Paul started to walk away, but Drew continued to smirk and give Kenny a taunting look.
"Drew don't laugh!" May scolded. Drew rolled his eyes, but stopped laughing.
Ash scowled at Drew for ignoring May's 'order'.
"Well I'm bored again so I'm going to bed. You?" Drew asked Paul and Max.
"Yea I am." Paul replied heading towards his sleeping bag. "How about you Max?" he called while unrolling his sleeping bag.
"Nah. I am going to stay up for awhile, OK?" Max informed them.
"OK." Drew and Paul replied going into their sleeping bag.
