Meeting of Fate

Chapter 8

Last chapter time!

Dawn: Skitty13 would like to give a big thanks to ALL you readers out there! Everyone shall be mentioned at the end!

Paul: Just start the story...

Okay! Here we go!

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon.

"Troublesome?" Dawn asked. Paul smirked.

"You visited a stranger for around a month's time and hardly know them," Paul explained. He leaned closer to her ear, voice dropping to a whisper. "I heard you when you were talking the entire time. Troublesome."

Dawn felt her face turn a brighter shade of red, if that was possible. She covered her face.

"You could have just left me in Bewilder Forest when you found me, but you called for help. Jumping off a cliff and surviving is a miracle already, but getting help from some random girl? Unlikely." Paul stated.

"I would've helped anyone who needed help!" Dawn replied, uncovering her face. Realization crossed her face. "You... jumped off a cliff? Why?!"

"Ursaring," Paul simply shrugged. "They're quite dangerous when you only bring one Pokémon."

"Oh."

"I don't get it, you didn't know me much at all yet you like a cold hearted person like me. I didn't think such caring people existed."

"Paul..." Dawn wrapped her arms around his neck. "I like you because your you. I had a feeling your personality wouldn't be the nicest but when I saw Weavile that day, I could tell he cared deeply for you."

Paul shrugged.

"Plus," Dawn giggled. "Opposites attract."

Paul shook his head, looking at the sky. The light blue colour was fading and turning dark. "We should probably set up camp for the night."

Dawn nodded. "Put me down please?"

"Alright, troublesome," Paul set her down sitting in the grass.

I don't know if I should take that as a compliment or be annoyed, Dawn watched the purple haired boy set up camp. When Dawn pulled out her tent, he took it and help her set it up. Then moved on to his own.

"Thanks Paul!" Dawn called out. She carefully crawled into her tent.

Paul grunted his response. He still found it hard to believe such a positive girl would fall for him. A few minutes later, Dawn reappeared in her pajamas consisting of a pink sweatshirt and sweats.

"How's your ankle?" Paul tossed an apple over to her. Dawn caught it.

"Swelling has gone down, so I might be able to walk normally again tomorrow." Dawn lied. Paul shot a look at her. She looked away and took a bite of the apple.

"Let's see," Paul walked over.

Dawn shook her head, frantically. "I'm okay! No need to worry!"

"Stand up then," Paul smirked. Dawn slowly nodded, getting up. Trying her best not to place any weight on that one foot.

"See?" Dawn wobbled and fell forward. Her eyes widened. She had fallen into a kiss with Paul. Quickly pulling back, she fell down backwards.

"Uh, g-good night, P-Paul," Dawn squeaked out, starting to head back into her tent.

"Dawn, wait."

Dawn turned her head, to see Paul looking at her.

"Good night." Paul said, Dawn nodded before re-entering her tent.

Paul muttered angrily under her breath, "Why didn't I just tell her how I felt?!"

Paul retreated to his own tent. Over the past hour or so, Paul started to see Dawn a bit more than 'troublesome' but wasn't able to tell her how he felt about her.

The next morning, Dawn stepped out of her tent in her usual outfit. She took a step back to see she almost walked into Paul.

"Morning Paul!" Dawn greeted.

"Morning, troublesome," Paul replied.

"You could use my real name, you know." Dawn noted. "Should we get going to Floaroma Town now?"

Paul shook his head. "I need to tell you something first."

Dawn nodded, "Okay, what?"

"How's your ankle?" Paul mentally hit himself.

"Much better!" Dawn replied.

"Uh, Dawn... I like-" Paul started, cheeks slightly pink, if that was possible.

Dawn put up her hand to stop him. "I know."

"You do?" Paul asked.

Dawn nodded happily.

"Well then," Paul leaned towards her. "You won't mind me doing this..."

He closed the space between them and kissed her. After they broke away, Dawn turned pink.

"We should probably go to Floaroma Town now," Paul noted. Dawn nodded as the two quickly packed back everything. As they were heading to Floaroma Town, Dawn grabbed Paul's hand.

"We're in this together, right?" she asked, cheerfully.

"Right, troublesome." Paul replied, smirking.

Dawn: MY NAME IS DAWN!

Paul: Of course, troublesome...

Paul: Injuries to create a story? Really?

Paul: ...

Dawn:-looks back from Skitty13 to Paul- Now what?

I think that's it.

Dawn: So that just about wraps up everything...

Paul: There's still one last thing.

Right, so...
