"Bye!" Dawn called as she waved to the ship floating away from her. "We'll see each other soon!" she could just barely see Ash and Brock waving back to her on the ship. It seemed like the time while she could still see her friends was too short. In a flash the ship was gone and she was standing alone on the dock waving to nothing. Now that their journey was over, she wondered what was going to happen. She could become a pokestylist with buneary, or she could keep continuing her journey as a coordinator with Kenny. A shout from behind interrupted her thoughts. "DAWN!" it sounded like… she turned around and saw Barry running toward her. "Barry!? What are you doing here?" she asked. He doubled over to catch his breath. When he caught his breath, he asked, "I need to ask you something. Confusedly she agreed. He led her to a little fountain in the middle of an empty park. They sat down on a park bench and she stared at the fountain as he talked. "I know this is kinda sudden, and it seems like it's coming out of nowhere but… "He started. He seemed to be building up the courage to say something. "Will you be my girlfriend?" he blurted out. If dawn was drinking water, it would have been spit out all over him at that moment. "WHAT!?" she exclaimed. He blushed. "Well um, I've sort of had a crush on you ever since we first met. He told her. Dawn was a little taken aback but nonetheless said, "Why didn't you say something earlier? Because I've felt the same way." Barry was taken aback at this. "You have?" he asked. She nodded. "So is this a yes?" he asked with a grin. "Of course!" she replied and threw her arms around him. After the brief embrace, they started to walk back to dawn's house, holding hands, but were interrupted when Kenny ran up to dawn with a question of his own.
