Wow. Like 3 hours after I put chapter 10 up, I'd already gotten 8 reviews! And then more just kept coming in! Thank you all so much! You guys really like this, huh? Well, that makes me totally happy! And it makes me want to update faster, so then everyone is happy, right? Hehe :)

Also, feel free to give me song suggestions for later on, because they will definitely sing again. The guys will sing at some point too, so suggest songs for them as well. I don't want to be swamped by songs though, so there's a limit. Please don't give me more than 3 suggestions per person. I don't have time to look up hundreds of songs, hehe. But if I use a song you suggest, I'll mention you at the beginning of the chapter its used in. Thank you in advance.

Dear Kenny,

The girls and I are still having a great time on our vacation. I still miss you so much :( I wish we could be together right now.

Guess what? I really think those guys I mentioned before are hitting it off with May, Misty, and Leaf! It's so adorable!

Dawn paused as her mind went to war with itself. Should she tell Kenny about the dates? Should she tell him about the kiss? It would be the right thing to do, right? But she hadn't gone on the date willingly... And all she and Paul had done was play video games. The kiss though... that was kind of a serious thing, wasn't it? But he had kissed her... and she hadn't reciprocated in any way... although she probably should have pushed him off of her...

The bluenette stared out the window. Out here in Undella Bay, you could see the stars in the sky. Back in Jubilife City, there were too many street lights at night to see the beautiful sight. The other girls had all gone to sleep, but Dawn was wide awake after what had happened earlier that evening.

Dawn didn't know what to do. She knew she hadn't done anything wrong, but she still felt guilty. She knew that Kenny deserved to know what had happened, but she didn't want to upset him or cause him to worry about her while she was gone. She knew that he would be understanding about it. Kenny was always understanding. He was sweet as could be. Always treating her like a princess and buying her gifts and such. How could she keep this secret from him? He was perfect, and people were always telling her that she was lucky to have him. That they were a perfect couple with the kind of love people are jealous of.

I hope you're having a great summer too, Kenny. When I come back, we'll spend the whole day together. Okay?

Love, Dawn

The bluenette clicked the send button and ignored the gnawing feeling in her chest. There was no reason to cause Kenny any heartache. It wasn't like she had cheated on him. He didn't need to know that any of this ever happened. It was over now. She and Paul wouldn't be going on a date ever again, and they could just put that kiss behind them.

But still... why had he done it?

I hope Ketchum is happy. If Troublesome tells the other girls about what I did, then they might gang up on me and hang me from a palm tree or something. I need to get Gary back now that it's my turn to ask him truth or dare. He's the reason we still play this stupid game. I don't think Drew or Ash really cares much for it anymore, but it's a "tradition".

Paul was awake before his other three friends as usual. Unlike the typical teenage boy, he was an early riser. He was a bit of a night owl too, which meant overall, he didn't sleep much.

The lavender-haired boy didn't mind his habits though. He enjoyed having the time to himself to think. He found that he often developed his best ideas in the morning. Luckily, this morning was not an exception.

Oh you're going to be sorry, Gary Oak. Because I just thought of the greatest dare ever for you. And it involves that nerdy brunette of yours.

"Where are my contacts?" Leaf asked, searching around the hotel room. She had to leave for another lecture in a few minutes, and the green case that housed her contacts was nowhere to be found.

"Don't you remember where you put them last night?" May asked, helping the brunette search.

"I thought I left them on my nightstand, but I guess not," Leaf replied. "I'm going to be late if I don't leave now... I guess I'll have to wear my glasses. Gary better not make fun of me." She reached into her travelling bag that had been tossed in the corner and pulled out a glasses case. She snapped it open and put on the pair of nerdy black glasses that were inside. They had rectangular lenses and fairly thick frames.

"It's okay, Leaf! You look great in glasses!" Dawn said. She'd emerged from the bathroom a few moments before and had caught the end of the two brunettes' conversation.

"Thanks, Dawn," Leaf said before rushing out the door.

"Well, I guess it's just you and me now, May," Dawn said, picking out an outfit from the hotel dresser.

"Yeah. I can't believe Ash and Misty are spending the day together," May said with a giggle. Ever since she'd told Drew about what happened, she'd felt a little bit better, but the brunette still grieved inside for the tragedy she'd endured. She didn't know if she'd ever be able to be her old self again. She felt used... like she wasn't good enough for anyone now that she'd been tainted. Her heart was broken. She didn't know how to live anymore.

"Yeah. They must've really hit it off last night. I'm glad that Misty finally got over Rudy. He was no good for her," Dawn said.

"He isn't good for anyone," May said. "So what should we do today?"

"Well... How about we go shopping!?" Dawn suggested gleefully.

May smiled. Dawn was such a shopping fanatic. "Okay," she agreed.

"Woah," Gary said, taken aback by Leaf's different look. "You wear glasses?"

"I couldn't find my contacts this morning," Leaf explained curtly. If he goes on about this he'll be sorry, she thought to herself.

"You know, glasses are kind of sexy," Gary said flirtatiously. Leaf smacked him upside the head and began walking down the hallway. He followed after her rubbing his cheek. For a girl, she hit pretty hard.

"It was a compliment," he said.

"It was something a player would say," Leaf corrected. "And I don't like hanging out with players. Unlike most of the girls you've been with, I'm not a slut."

Ouch, Gary thought. Leaf is acting like Leaf again.

"What happened to the attitude you had yesterday?" Gary asked.

"I had to be pleasant yesterday. It was your special little date that you worked so hard to get, or should I say, Paul worked so hard to get. You did lose in your battle against me after all," she said, hiding her smirk and trying to remain sophisticated.

"Shut up. What gives you the right to treat me so bad?" Gary asked. "I'm smart, rich, and attractive. What's not to like? I'm practically superior to you in every way."

Leaf spun around. "What was that?" she asked.

Gary realized what he had just said and fought the urge to run away from the angry female standing in front of him.

"You're smart, rich, and attractive, huh? Well, I'm definitely smarter than you, my family is also rich, and according to you; I'm very attractive, so how are you superior to me at all?" she challenged.

"Your family is rich?" Gary asked.

"Yes. Very rich," Leaf answered. "But unlike you, I don't brag about my money." With that, she spun around again, increasing her pace.

Gary walked fast to catch up to her. "Look, I'm sorry, Leaf. I didn't mean to anger you. I was just frustrated with all your stinging comment. Probably because they're true."

Leaf stopped in her tracks. Was Gary admitting a weakness?

"Besides, why would I want to insult a pretty little thing like you?" Gary said gently.

Leaf tried to ignore the feelings she was getting from Gary's words. As much as she hated to admit it, he was attractive, and there were certain things about him that she liked a little bit.

Dammit, Paul. I can't believe I'm about to do this, Gary thought as he began to lean towards Leaf.

Holy crap! Is he going to kiss me? Leaf thought as she saw Gary coming closer. Just as she was preparing herself for the lip contact, Gary's hands lunged toward her and grabbed her chest, giving a quick squeeze before recoiling back to their original position.

Leaf was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

Gary Oak, prepare to go through hell on earth, she thought.

"Stop that, Ash!" Misty half shouted - half laughed. Ash was tickling her sides and that was where she was most sensitive.

"You have to say uncle!" Ash demanded, tickling her harder. The two of them had gone out to eat earlier and then returned to the hotel. They were currently hanging out on the lobby couches and having a one-sided tickle fight.

"Never!" Misty shouted, reaching between Ash's arms and tickling his stomach. The two were laughing hysterically, and they rolled off the couch and toppled onto the carpeted floor. The tickle fight then ceased, but the laughter didn't.

Misty was on top of Ash and their faces were only a few inches apart. Soon, their laughter died down and they were left staring into each other's eyes while panting softly.

The moment was interrupted by the sound of Misty's Pokegear vibrating. She got off of Ash and sat on the floor, pulling the device out of her jean shorts pocket and studying the screen. Rudy.

"Not again," she said in irritation.

"Is it him?" Ash asked.

"Yeah," Misty replied, pressing the button to accept the call.

"What do you want?" Misty said harshly. Her phone was on speaker, so Ash was able to hear everything that was said on the other end.

"Still so cold, Baby?" Rudy asked. "I thought you would've called me back and accepted my apology by now, but you haven't. Can't you see how badly I need you?"

"Not really," Misty retorted. "You're thousands of miles away and whatever ho you're currently seeing could be in the restroom while you're making this call."

"I haven't been with any girl ever since I broke up with Melody for you," Rudy insisted.

"That's another thing. How do I know you broke up with her? What if she just broke up with you and you're running back to me for a rebound?" Misty asked.

"If I was looking for a rebound, I would go for a girl who's actually here in Jubilife City," Rudy pointed out. "But I really did break up with Melody. You're the only one for me, Misty."

The red-haired girl was silent for a moment, taking in the boy's words. "Well, you're not the only one for me," she said and clicked the end button.

"You okay?" Ash asked, scooting closer to Misty.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me, Ash. Rudy may be a sweet talker, but I'm not dumb," Misty said with a smile. "Now let's get back to having fun!"

"Isn't this skirt adorable, May?!" Dawn squealed.

"It's a bit short," said a deep voice laced with irritation.

Dawn whipped around to see none other than Paul standing behind her. He was looking away from her, but she could still see the profile of his face.

"You..." she muttered, putting the skirt back on the rack. "You think you can just get away with what you did last night?"

Paul shrugged nonchalantly. "Aren't you used to doing that all the time? You are a cheerleader after all. You probably make out with a different boy every day, and all we did was touch lips for a few seconds."

"We did not kiss. You kissed me," Dawn said, making her feelings on the subject clear. She glanced around the strip mall, looking for her companion. "Now where did May get off to?" the bluenette muttered.

"She went off with Drew. You were too busy drooling over these whore skirts to notice," Paul said coldly.

"What have I done to make you think I'm a whore?" Dawn asked in exasperation. "If anyone's a whore, it's you! You're the one who came onto someone who's in a relationship already!"

A few shoppers stopped to give the two of them questioning looks before moving on. Dawn blushed in embarrassment.

"Nice one, Troublesome," Paul grumbled.

"And stop calling me that!" she said, stomping her foot in irritation.

"Never. I'll carve it into your gravestone," Paul said.

"You won't be able to because you'll die before me!" Dawn snapped.

"You don't know that," Paul pointed out.

"The ice in your frozen soul will cause your blood to freeze and kill you," Dawn muttered.

"Whatever," Paul said, walking away.

"Hey! We're not done yet!" Dawn yelled, chasing after him.

"Is it really safe to leave Dawn with Paul this long?" May asked before sipping her chocolate milkshake.

"Of course it's safe. Just cause he kissed her last night it doesn't mean anything," Drew assured her, taking a sip of his strawberry milkshake.

May nearly choked on her sip of shake. "He did what?!" she asked in shock/

"Oh... I guess she didn't tell you guys," Drew said.

"Dawn and Paul kissed!?" May screeched. "But Dawn is dating Kenny! How could she do that to him!?"

"No no no no no!" Drew said quickly. "He kissed her! She didn't reciprocate in any way! And he only did it because Ash dared him."

"Ash... dared him..." May said dumbly, looking at Drew.

"We kinda... well... We play truth or dare, okay!?" Drew said awkwardly.

May shook her head. "Stupid boys," she muttered. "Dawn must feel awful about what happened. She probably feels guilty! What if it effects her relationship with Kenny? And we left her alone with Paul?! Why did we do that?!"

"Calm down," Drew said. "Dawn can hold her own."

"That's true," May sighed. "But we should probably join up with them again."

"Yeah," Drew agreed. "We don't want them to get thrown in the mall jail," he joked.

"Let's go look for them," May giggled.

All done! I feel like this was actually a decent chapter for once. I hope you guys feel the same :)

Please review! And remember that you can suggest songs! But only 3 or less per person please! And as for your responses to my question last chapter, some of you are right, and some of you are wrong, but I will tell you that it is either Pokeshipping or Contestshipping that will get together first, and no one guessed anything else, so that means I'm conveying things the way I want to. Good :) Thank you for answering the question last chapter so I could see that!
