Hello! This is my latest story, How a Tour can Change your Life! (Hereafter, HTCL) No, it is NOT a sequel to How a Trip can Change your Life. Sorry! They're sort of similar, but...on with the story!
It was six in the morning, and a twenty-two year old named Dawn Berlitz stood on her balcony, gazing at the mid-morning sky. She was looking at (1) Shinjufune Meteor Shower, which was only visible early in the morning. Yesterday was her college graduation, and this meteor shower only seemed to make her happier about it.
"This is the first time it has happened to me, a masked stranger..." Dawn turned around, and saw her mother, Johanna, reading her diary!
"Mom!" Dawn leapt towards Johanna and grabbed her diary.
"I never knew you wrote poems." Johanna innocently said.
"It's not poetry, mom, it's my diary!" Dawn complained.
"Whatever it is, it sounds good. Can you please read it?" Johanna asked. Dawn pouted. "Please?" Her mother insisted.
"Fine. But don't tell anyone!" Dawn took a deep breath and began to read. "This is the first time it has happened to me. A masked stranger appears in my dreams, and an illusion is cast in front of my eyes as someone knocks on the doors of my heart. His silky breath touches my cheeks, and the fragrance of his hands is still in my hair. For the first time in my life, a masked stranger enters my dreams."
"Wow! You're at good at writing, Dawn!" Johanna said. "This guy sounds very nice. Who is he?"
Dawn sat on her bed. "I don't know. I just keep seeing this guy in my dreams, and I know he is the one for me. But when I wake up, I always forget how he looks like!"
"Don't overthink it, Dawn. After all, dreams are dreams. Come down and have breakfast." Johanna said. Dawn went downstairs, and saw her dad, Rowan, and her little sixteen-year-old sister, Leaf at the dining table. Rowan was happily reading a letter.
"Johanna, guess who sent this letter? Our good friend from Pallet Town, Samuel Oak, just wrote! Sit down, i'll read it to you!"
Although Dawn and her family lived in Unova, her parents were from Kanto. As Dawn and her mom sat down, her dad began to read
"Dear Rowan,
How are you? I'm fine. I can't wait for you to come back to Kanto. It's about time you come! I'm glad you remembered the promise we made twenty-two years ago, when we promised that your daughter and my son would grow up and get married..."
"What?" asked Dawn. Had she heard wrong? Was she engaged to a complete stranger!?
"What's the matter?" Rowan asked.
"You already engaged me to a complete stranger!?" asked an unbelieving Dawn.
"He's not a stranger, he's the son of my best friend!" Rowan said.
Dawn couldn't believe what she was hearing! She looked away, and noticed a flyer advertising that there was a tour of Unova. Dawn wanted to go on it, and now was the perfect time to ask her dad! He'd better let her go, after that letter.
"It's okay dad. Just...there's a tour of Unova, and all my friends are going. The tour's all by train, and it start later this afternoon. Can I go?" Dawn asked.
Her dad thought for a moment. "Sure. Why not?"
"Thanks, dad!" Dawn squealed.
Her dad smiled. "Now I have to go to the hospital." Her dad was a doctor. "Bye!"
Meanwhile...
Ash Ketchum just graduated college yesterday, and he was waiting for the afternoon to come. He was going on a tour of Europe with his two friends, Drew and Brock. However, he wanted to be a doctor, so his dad took him to the hospital he owned, so he would be familair to what a doctor normally did. He was at one of emergency rooms, where there was a patient with IV tubes and a IV fluid bag next to him. The doctor operating on the man was Dawn's dad.
Ash picked up an IV. "So, what does this do?" He asked.
"Don't touch anything, this is a very head operation I am doing." Mr. Berlitz said.
"Okay." Ash started to swing the IV, when it accidently slipped from his grip, and cut the IV fluid tube!
"Oh shit!" Ash said.
Mr. Berlitz looked at the cut-open fluid bag and at a guilty looking Ash. "Get out!"
Later that afternoon...
Dawn was at the train station, looking for her train. It was going to leave in a couple of minutes.
"The TourUnova train is now leaving." a voice over the loudspeaker said.
"Shit!" Dawn began to run towards the train, which started to leave. Just then, Ash stood out the door of the train, and saw Dawn running after it.
"Give me your hand!" He said. Dawn stretched out her arm, and Ash grabbed it, and pulled her on the train.
"Thanks!" said an out-of-breath Dawn.
"No problem!" Ash noticed some white cloth on the floor. He bent down to pick it up, but noticed it was a bra.
"Um...senorita? Is this yours?" He asked, lifting up the bra. Dawn gasped, and stuffed in her suitcase.
"There you are Dawn!" The two turned and saw Serena, one of Dawn's friends, walking towards them.
"What're you doing here? C'mon, i'll take you to our compartment!"
"Bye, Dawn!" said Ash. As Dawn walked away, she kicked Ash in the shin.
"Ouch!" He said.
