愛スパッツ…

"Baka! (Stupid)" Dawn cried.

"Ore Baka?! (Me?! Stupid?)" Paul replied.

"Baka!" Dawn repeated.

"Baka Neko! (Stupid cat)" he muttered.

"Don't call me that!" Dawn shrieked.

"Then don't be so annoying!" Paul shot back.

Ash and Brock sweat dropped. It had been a few days since Dawn had come back from the forest and earlier, when they were about to eat, Paul had decided to show up…

"Ai, Shinji!" Dawn waved. Paul glanced at her and away without a word. Dawn giggled to herself remembering how anti-social he usually was.

"Hikari!" Ash exclaimed. "Why would you greet him?!"

"Bah, Satoshi. I was just being friendly." She replied and continued placing the plates on the picnic table.

"Hikari… Shitashimiyasui…ha! (Hikari…Frinendly…ha!)" Ash muttered.

"Satoshi!" she barked and whacked him on the head with a plate. Ash scowled.

"当ってはいけない! (Do not hit!)" he cried and grabbed a plate of his own as a sheild.

" Oy, chotto kiitekureyo (Hey you!)"Paul called. They both turned.

"WHAT?!"

"Aho (idiot) Satoshi. Battle!" he relied

"OY!" Dawn cried. "Iya! ([rude] no)"

Paul turned to look at her.

"You battled him like three days ago! I'm not finished yet!" she exclaimed.

"Who cares, troublesome girl?!" Paul replied.

And that's how we get to where we are now…

"I can't! It's a talent!" she cried sarcastically.

"I can see that, but it's more of a defect!" Paul shot back.

"Take that back!" Dawn fumed.

"Iya! ([rude] no)" Paul replied.

"Oh!!!! You-" Dawn whacked Paul on the head with her plate.

"OY!" Paul exclaimed.

"Oobakamono. (moron)" Dawn said crossing her arms and turning her back to him. As mad as he was, Paul would never hit a girl. Instead he grumbled and swatted her head gently with his fingertips.

"Tonma…(dope)" he muttered. Dawn swung around but her face wasn't really furious. More like…angry but curious. "Omae urusai yarou dana (you're annoying)" he muttered and Dawn thought she heard something along the lines of kawaii (cute) too, but she wasn't sure. Then Paul began to walk away with his hands in his pockets.

"Shinji?" Dawn called as he was half way across the little clearing.

"Nani? (what?)" he replied, without stopping.

"Kimi wa ijiwarui da.(you are mean)" she smiled while saying it and then ran to his side.

"Kisu." She smiled again and gave him a gentle kiss before whacking him on the head with the plate again. Paul scowled halfheartedly and continued walking.

"Ja ne! (bye)" she called and waved.

Paul walked away without another word and Dawn turned on Ash with an evil smirk.

"Baka Satoshi!" she sneered.
