Dawn's Side

Dawn has been going out with her childhood friend Damion for more than a month now. And even though they don't always see eye to eye, Dawn has been having the best time of her life being with him.

However, Dawn has felt uneasy with their relationship ever since their first date.

Damion had invited her to have a meal at a local café. This being their first date, she couldn't help but to feel nervous and excited when they sat across from each first everything was fine. Even though they just started going out Dawn and Damion were able to have great time together like they always did.

"Pheew!" Dawn sighed in her head. "And here I was scared that things were going to become weird between us!"

The more the two talked with each other, the more at ease Dawn felt. This sense of relief, however, was unfortunately short lived. Right in the middle of their conversation Damion unexpectedly stopped in mid-sentence.

"Is something wrong Damion?" Dawn asked curiously. Normally she had to stuff his mouth with fourteen socks in order to shut him up.

Damion took a brief pause and stared into Dawn's eyes with a troubled look in his face.

"I-is something w-wrong?" Dawn asked again, now getting uncomfortable with the blond-haired boy's stares.

Damion then took a deep breath and looked like he was about to talk. "D-Dawn!" Damion randomly shouted out, causing the girl in question to jump.

"Y-yes!?" Dawn answered, shaken up with the sheen power in the boy's voice.

"D-Dawn… I-!" Damion started, his eyes practically glaring at the girl. Soon the energy behind the boy's words faded away and Damion took a deep sigh. "N-never mind…"

The boy then slouched back into his chair and took a long sip from his cup. The peaceful atmosphere of the date was completely destroyed.

"What the heck was that!?" Dawn thought in her mind.

Ever since that day the same pattern replayed itself over and over again in each of their following dates. It fact it can be described in six simple steps.

1) Dawn and Damion would start out having a great time together.

2) Damion would stop in an awkwardly fashion.

3) He would start to say/yell something seemingly serious.

4) He would then give up, then look away.

5) Dawn is left sitting with a confused look on her face.

6) The rest of their date is spent in a chilling silence.

"What the heck does he want to say!?" Dawn yelled to herself after replaying each of her ruined dates in her mind. "I don't get boys at all!" After that sentence left her lips, Dawn then thought of an idea. "If it's about boys…"


"So what your saying is, whenever you and Damion go out together he would suddenly stop and start to tell you something…" Lucas stated after hearing Dawn explain her relationship woes to him. "Only to stop and lose eye contact with you, thus ruining the date."

"Don't summarize my torture so casually!" Dawn exclaimed as she hit the desk between them in rage. "It's like you're twisting a knife in my already wounded heart!"

"S-sorry…" Lucas nervously chuckled as Dawn's rage-filled eyes continued to glare at him from across his work station. While doing his weekly clean up at Professor Rowan's lab, Lucas was interrupted by Dawn barging in through the door, pleading for his help. "S-so" Lucas began after seeing Dawn calm down. "You want my advice?"

"Yeah…" Dawn sighed as a look of concern appeared in her eyes. "Every time Damion starts sounding serious it feels like he has something really important to say, but when he just drops it like it's nothing it makes me feel nervous…"

"Well before you start fearing the worst you have to remember," Lucas started, trying to get his friend in a better mood. "This is Damion we're talking about."

Dawn then looked back at Lucas with a blank look on her face, before a skeptical grin appeared on her face. "Yeah, that's true…" Dawn replied in an unimpressed tone. "He does get pretty worked up over nothing."

"I know right?" Lucas answered back, trying to conceive her. "It's probably nothing."

"Well I wouldn't put it pass him…" Dawn sighed in a more relieved way. "He can act stupid at times and take things way too far."

"That's right!" Lucas exclaimed, happy to see Dawn in good spirits.

"Yeah!" Dawn agreed, now with a wide grin on her face. "It's probably something stupid like, he wanted to talk about our Pokemon, but felt it would be weird to bring it up on a date!"

"That's could be it." Lucas followed.

"Yeah that's exactly what I would expect from Damion!" Dawn shouted as she laughed. "I mean, can you even think of another reason why he would act like that?"

"Ye-! Ah…" Lucas exclaimed, as in lost in thought from snapping back into the present. "Y-yeah!"

Just then Dawn's piece of mind shattered once again. "Lucas…" Dawn muttered in a menacing way. "What was that…?"

"W-what was what?" Lucas asked, trying to avoid talking about his mental hiccup.

"That 'ah' just now!" Dawn answered in a accusing tone. "What was it!?"

"I-I have n-no idea what your t-talking about!" Lucas stuttered, obviously not conceiving Dawn.

Having his father as Rowan's right hand man and he himself being the Professor's field assistant, Lucas had adopted many traits. He was diligent, hard-working, and trustworthy. In short, he was a bad liar.

"Lucas…" Dawn growled, glaring at the barrette wearing boy as if she was going to bite his head off.

Feeling the crushing pressure of bloodlust emitting from the blue-haired girl, Lucas finally answered. "W-well it's probably not important, but…." Lucas began, reluctant to put the girl back to her devastating mood. "I've been seeing Damion with the Veilstone City gym leader a lot lately…"

"M-Maylene…?" Dawn corrected, now filled with worry. "Why is he with her?"

"W-well why not." Lucas replied, now sensing Dawn's sorrow. "I mean they both kind of go overboard with training and stuff. They could just be helping each other with their Pokemon."

"Yeah…" Dawn weakly grunted. "They're battle nuts, they take things way too far, and they both love to eat…" Dawn continued, causing Lucas to worry when the girl was going in her line of reasoning. "Maylene and Damion have a lot in common…"

"D-Dawn…!" Lucas nervously tried to cheer the girl back up.

"I-if that's what's going on…!" Dawn gasped in horror. "Then that means!"

"Dawn! I-I" Dawn remembered, hearing Damion's voice in her head. Soon Dawn's own worrying mind started finishing Damion's broken sentence.

"I found someone el-."

"No!" Dawn shrieked from the top of her lungs, ignoring her red scarf wearing friend. "Anything but that!"


The rest of that afternoon, Dawn continued screaming like a derange chicken as Lucas tried to reason with the sorrow-filled girl, only to be knocked over and sent backwards into the hard metal floor of Professor Rowan's lab. In short, it was a huge mess.

Even after that horrible afternoon was over and the new day came, the idea of Maylene, the fighting type gym leader, and Damion, her dearest friend and love of her life, together made Dawn's stomach do back flips in her body.

What made it worse was that she had plans with Damion the very next day. The only thing she had on her mind were the phrases, "Is today the day?" or "Is he going to break up with me?" The sapphire-eyed girl would rather deal with Cyrus and Professor Pluto then having those poisonous words haunt her mind.

"Dawn?" Hearing the voice of the person who caused her emotions to spiral out of control, Dawn snapped out of her mental rant and faced her childhood friend. "Is something wrong?"

"Something wrong?" Dawn repeated in her mind. "I should be the one saying that!" However, she chose to resist blowing her top off.

"Not really." Dawn calmly answered, or course by just looking at the girl's face could tell you something was indeed wrong.

Dawn didn't really want to stare at Damion's face directly so she chose to look around the café. Then it hit her. It was the exact place Damion had taken her on her first date.

"So not a good sign…" Dawn mourned in her mind, "It's like he wants to end it where we began…!"

"Dawn, are you sure something's not up?" Damion continued, causing Dawn's head to whip back to him.

"No really, I'm fine…" Dawn answered again, trailing off near the end.

"I just really liked going out with you…" Dawn though sorrowfully as she stared at her hands. "Even if our dates always got ruined at the end, I still really liked being with you…

"Um… Dawn?" She heard Damion mumble as she kept her head down. "T-there's actually something I wanted to talk to you about…"

Dawn flinched as those words left Damion's lips and faced up, only to see Damion staring at her intently again. "There he goes again…" Despite her sadness, Dawn had gotten used to this routine.

"Dawn! I-I…"

"I really don't want to end it this way…"

"What I'm saying is…"

"And I really don't want to see you with Maylene…!"

"I want to say…!"

"Even if she threats to drop kick!"

"Dawn! I-!"

"I don't want to lose you!"

"Will you go out with me!?" / "Please don't break up with me!"

Neoko: Huh? Just what the heck is going on here!? (I of course know, but I bet you guys don't! XD) So now we have heard Dawn's side of the story, next time we'll be venturing into Damion's mind. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please review.
