Friend of Fawful: lol, thanks. :)

PondGirl11: Aww, thanks. :)

GirlNamedFede: Thank you!
Ha ha, oopsie! I didn't thnk about that, thanks for pointing that out to me. :)

"Dimentio! You scared me!" Dawn said, frowning at the floating jester in front of her.

Dimentio smiled in his usual eerie way. "My apologies, Dawn. Though I am wondering, what are you doing out here alone at night?"

"I might ask you the same thing."

"I asked first."

Dawn sighed. "Fine, if you must know, I'm taking a walk."

"Does the princess know where you are?" Dimentio asked.

"No, she thinks I'm with my friend Star Kohana. I just, needed to get away for a while."

"I see,"

"Now it's your turn," Dawn said. "What are you doing here?"

The jester chuckled. "I'm also taking a little walk. But unlike you, I needed some fresh air."

"Oh?" Dawn continued walking and Dimentio followed her. "Are Mimi and Mr. L getting on your nerves again?" she asked jokingly. She knew the three of them didn't get along very well.

"…not exactly," was the quiet reply.

Dawn turned to her friend, looking worried.

There was something in Dimentio's voice that made her feel anxious. He didn't sound like himself.

"Well, then what's…" Dawn stopped in the middle of what she was saying. Dimentio wasn't floating now, as if he were too tired to, and he had one hand over his stomach.

Dawn burst out laughing as she realized the nature of the situation.

"What's so funny?" Dimentio growled.

Dawn managed to calm herself down enough to talk.

"Aww, do you have tummy ache, Dimentio?" she asked teasingly.

"N-no, why would you think tha—" he winced as his stomach let out a loud growl.

"Ohhh, you do have a tummy ache!" Dawn cooed.

"No I don't!" Dimentio said defensively. "I uh, just ate dinner at Castle Bleck not too long ago. That's why I'm walking, to help the food digest."

There was another loud growl, this time a wave of pain went through his stomach causing him to groan.

Dawn's laughter faded completely. She could tell Dimentio was in a lot of pain.

"You just ate dinner, huh?"

Dimentio nodded as he groaned again. "Yes. I might have eaten a little too much," he admitted sheepishly.

Dawn smiled.

"Come on, I'll take home and take care of your belly ache."

"No, no, I'll be okay… Ooooh!" He fell to his knees, groaning loudly and clutching his aching belly.

Dawn quickly help him to his feet. "Dimentio, you are in no condition to get yourself home alone. You need help and I'm going to help you, like it or not!"

As much as Dimentio hated to admit it, Dawn was right. He really didn't feel good and wasn't even sure he could make it home on his own.

So he allowed Dawn to help him walk to Castle Bleck.

"Here we are," Dawn said suddenly.

"Huh?" Dimentio looked up. It felt like they walking for only a minute or so.

"You fell asleep after about five minutes of walking," Dawn explained. "I half carried you here. You're surprisingly kinda light."

"S-sorry, Dawn," Dimentio seemed embarrassed. "I didn't think I was that tired…"

Dawn shook her head. "No, it's fine. Trust me, I understand."

The way she said that made Dimentio feel uncomfortable.

"Anyway, I appreciate you helping me getting home, but I think I can make it from here."

"Nice try, but you're not getting rid of me so easily." Dawn put his arm around her shoulder. "Come on, I'll get you to your room."

"Um, Dawn, that's nice of you, but you don't have to—"

"Nonsense, I know what I'm doing. I know how to make you feel better." She flashed him a smile before starting to walk. Dimentio had no choice but to go with her.

"Dawn, I'd really like to keep this low profile, if you know what I mean."

"What, me being here, or the fact that you don't feel good?"

"Both."

Dawn quietly opened the front door and they went in.

"You'll have to show where your room is," Dawn whispered with a shy smile. "I don't know my around here very well yet."

"Yet? Did you plan to come here a lot or something?"

"Maybe…"

Dimentio led Dawn up the stairs to his room, then breathed a sigh of relief when they got there.

"That wasn't too bad," he commented.

"Now, go put your pajamas on and let me in when you're done." Dawn said, leaning against the wall in the hallway. "I'll be waiting."

Suddenly feeling tired again, Dimentio put on his pajamas and lay down on his bed.

"Okay, Dawn. You can come in now," he called out.

Dawn came in and closed the door behind her.

In the hallway, Mimi was walking past Dimentio's room when she heard voices from inside.

It sounded like Dimentio was talking to someone… A girl!

Mimi burst into the room. "DIMENTIO! What has the Count told you about bringing girls home without telling him first?! Oh, hi, Dawn!"

"This isn't what it looks like, trust me!" Dawn said, and at the same time, Dimentio cried out, "I can explain!"

Mimi folded her arms across her chest. "Explain then."

Dawn and Dimentio looked at each other, silently asking who would tell her.

Dimentio took a deep breath then let it out as a sigh.

"You see, Mimi," he began, "I didn't feel so good after dinner so I took a walk through Darkland Forest. Me and Dawn bumped into each other. Then she—"

"I could tell he didn't feel good so I helped him home," Dawn continued for him, "and now that he's home and in bed, I thought I would rub his belly for him until he falls asleep.

So any dirty thoughts you might have had in your head, forget about them."

"So, Dimentio has a tummy ache?" Mimi asked.

Dawn nodded.

"I told you, Dimentio! You shouldn't have eaten so much. Didn't I tell you?"

"Yes, Mimi, because it's so helpful to tell me that after dinner." Dimentio said sarcastically.

Mimi shrugged then left.

"Well, that was…awkward," Dawn said as she sat down on the bed.

She gently put her hands on Dimentio's stomach and started to slowly rub.

"Does this hurt?" she asked anxiously.

"No, not at all," Dimentio said with a content sigh. "That feels…nice."

He sighed again as he closed his eyes.

Dawn's hands felt so good on his aching stomach, slowly rubbing and from time to time very gently pushing, breaking up the lump of food in his full belly.

Dimentio was enjoying this very much. Slowly, he started to drift off to sleep…

His stomach rumbled as he jolted awake and quickly sat up, putting a hand over his mouth.

Startled, Dawn pulled her hands away. "What's wrong?" she asked, sounding alarmed.

"Ooooh, my stomach…" Dimentio moaned, using his free arm to hug his middle.

"What's wrong?" Dawn asked again.

Dimentio moaned again before answering, "My stomach really hurts. Dinner suddenly isn't sitting very well; I think I need to be sick."

"Do you need some help getting to the bathroom?" Dawn offered.

Dimentio shook his head and slowly made his way down the hall.

In Count Bleck's room, which happened to near the bathroom, the Count was reading a very cute fanfic about him and Timpani when he heard gagging coming from the other room.

It sounded like someone was sick!

Full of concern, Count Bleck hurried out of his room.

Everyone seemed fine last time he checked them… Of course, Dimentio had eaten a lot at dinner time. Maybe…

By the time Count Bleck got to the bathroom, the gagging had stop. It was quiet for a few moments, as if whoever was in there was catching their breath after losing so much of what was in their stomach.

Finally the toilet was flushed, then it was quiet again.

The Count tapped on the door.

"Come in," a weak voice on the other side of the door said.

Count Bleck opened the door and found Dimentio lying on the floor, hugging his stomach.

"Dimentio…" Count Bleck kneeled beside him on the cold floor. "Are you alright?"

"I'll be okay, I just want to go back to bed," Dimentio moaned.

The Count helped Dimentio up and managed to carry him to him room.

He was surprised to find Dawn sitting there, waiting for Dimentio. "Oh, hello, Dawn. How long have you been here?"

"Oh, not too long. How's your stomach, Dimentio? Feeling any better?"

"It still doesn't feel good, but it's a little better."

"Why didn't you tell me before that you have a stomach ache?" Count Bleck asked as he put Dimentio in his bed.

"Because, it's nothing. I just ate too much, no big deal."

"I wouldn't be too sure," Mimi said walking in. She was holding a can.

"Dimentio, weren't you the one who ate the leftover fruit cocktail with dinner?"

Both Dimentio and his stomach moaned at the mention of food. "I think so, oooh. Why?"

"Because," Mimi held up the can. "According to this, it expired a few days ago."

"Oh, that's wonderful," Dimentio moaned.

Mimi left again while Count Bleck looked concerned again. "That isn't good, Dimentio. Maybe I should call a doctor…"

Dimentio shook his head. "No, no, I'll be fine in the morning. I'm sure of it"

The Count sighed. "Alright, but if you get sick again or if your stomach starts hurting a lot you come tell me, okay?"

"Yes, Count, I understand. Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to get some sleep."

"Very well. Good night, Dimentio." Count Bleck left the room leaving Dawn and Dimentio alone together.

"Do you want me to rub your belly again, until you fall asleep?" Dawn asked after a few moments.

"Sure," Dimentio said, sounding drowsy. "But go easy on me, okay? My stomach's really upset still." It growled as if to prove it.

Dawn smiled. "Don't worry, I will."

For the next ten minutes the room was quiet while Dawn gently rubbed her friend's tummy.

Finally, she was sure he was asleep.

She got up to leave, hesitated, then lightly kissed Dimentio's mask.

"I hope you feel better soon," Dawn whispered before leaving the room.

Now, she had another friend she wanted to visit!

I'm thinking there's going to be only one or two more chapters for this. :P
Do you know where Dawn's going now? Well, if you really paid attenion while reading the first chapter, then you can probaly guess. lol
