Dawn came upon Solaceon town, there was no gym or appeal to the city for her. She heard about the ruins, and she has always been a little interested in history and decided to at least spend the day exploring. She entered the cave, but she found it to be a mistake. Dawn was on her toes. What made her think of exploring the Solaceon ruins alone? Now she was deep in the ruins and didn't know where to go.

Dawn just wandered through the ruins the only thing in the ruins, were just ancient hieroglyphs. However, every now and again, Dawn could swear they moved around when she wasn't looking.

Dawn had spent what seemed like countless hours in there, really it had only been half an hour. But the effect of being hopelessly lost seemed to have distorted time. Dawn stumbled in and out of various corridors. She didn't want to lose all hope of being lost... but the odds were against her. She was on the verge of tears, when who in the world, and time, could she find.

"Lucas?" She asked disbelieving.

Lucas looked up from the hieroglyphs and his notepad. He smiled at her. "Hey Da-"

Dawn interrupted him by grabbing onto him in fear. She was now in tears.

"Thank you, oh thank you!" She cried.

Lucas didn't know how to react. He just kinda stared at Dawn, mouth agape.

"I thought I would be lost forever!" She said into his chest.

"Um... Um..." He patted her back. "There there?"

"Oh Lucas I'm so glad to see you!" She said through her tears. "Now you can tell me the way out."

"Um well actually... I'm just as lost as you are."

"WHAT!" She backed off him. "What do you mean your as lost as I am!"

"Well..." Lucas scratched the back of his head. "I didn't bother trying to keep track of an exit because... I would be transported back to my time after a while, so..."

Dawn was now really crying now, it was hopeless.

"So I will tell you what, I will help you find an exit, just as long as you let me finish making my notes."

Dawn instantly cheered up and quickly attached herself to Lucas's left arm looking around cautiously. Lucas was just stunned with her clamping on to his arm.

"Are we going?"

"What?"

"Are we going to find an exit now?"

"Oh right, right..."

Lucas and Dawn together walked through the corridors, all the time Dawn never let go of his arm. Lucas would every now and again write a little something in his notepad and keep moving it was hard with Dawn hanging on his arm.

"So what are you doing here?" Dawn asked.

"These ruins actually don't exist in my time. So my professor told me to come back to this time and look them up."

"I'm glad you did."

"So why are you here?"

"Well... Since the beginning of my journey, I always kind of wanted to explore deep and dark places. This was the perfect chance."

"Why since the beginning of your journey?"

"Well... It's kind of embarrassing to admit... But I was always scared of closed in dark places."

"How is that embarrassing, everything got something there afraid of?"

"Well my fear was so bad that I was scared of going into my closet."

A smile formed on Lucas's lips.

"Don't you dare laugh at me!"

Lucas did everything he could to hold in the laugh, but he really couldn't help it as he just started cracking up.

An embarrassed Dawn just shoved him into the wall, hard.

"Ow. Why did you do that?"

"Because you deserved it."

Suddenly the walls started to shake and glow. Dawn quickly joined Lucas who was sitting on the floor and grabbed onto his arm again. Lucas just looked around in mystery.

The pictures of the strange markings and letters were springing to life, peeling themselves away from the wall. The markings and letters swarmed themselves over their heads.

Dawn hid her face into Lucas's shoulder. Lucas looked down to the frightened Dawn. The walls still didn't stop shaking.

"Unown..." Lucas said in awe. He has read about them, but has never seen one. They are more than quite rare in his time. Considered extinct by others. He turned his face upward at them. "Um... Hello?"

Dawn moved her face out of his shoulder and whispered, "what are you doing?"

Lucas gave her a half smile, before turning back to the unown. "Can... you tell us the way out?"

The unown swarming seemed to intensify. Dawn once again buried her head. Then the unown swarm started to drift down the corridor. When it reached the end it buzzed back and forth, inviting them.

"I think they want us to follow." Lucas said.

Dawn looked up at them. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

Lucas got up, then helped Dawn up. She again clung to his arm, and together they followed the drifting swarm.

Dawn looked from the swarm, to Lucas and back. "How did you know?"

"How did I know what?"

"That they were friendly."

"I really didn't."

Dawn looked at him peculiarly.

"I mean, I had a clue sort of. I found there were six main corridors. Each had a primary letter symbol. F, R, E, I, N, D.

"Friend." Dawn said.

"Right. So I hoped they would be our friends."

"So you just asked them to help us?"

"Yeah."

"But weren't you scared? What if they were violent instead of friendly?"

"I was scared actually. What if they did attack or something? But I didn't let that stand in the way. I had to find out, and ask, it all worked out, they are leading us out. If I didn't ask, well... then we would still be lost. Look there is the exit right there." Lucas pointed toward the bright light.

"I see..." Fear ruled much of Dawn's life. Back before she started her journey. Her mind was mostly made up for her. She was always too much afraid to speak up for herself, so her parents and authority figures always decided for her what to do. If she did speak up, she would have made her own decisions, she would have been her own person. Would she be a different person?

Dawn's arms suddenly hit each other. They went through Lucas's, now disappearing, arm.

"I got to go apparently." Lucas smiled at her.

"Until next time?"

"Until next time."

He was gone. The unown danced happily over Dawn's head. She took in a deep breath. Faced the unown and said. "Thank you very much." With that, she left the ruins, back on her journey again.
