Dawn was too stunned to do anything at all. Was her own husband… cheating on her…?

She didn't care if she was heard anymore. She fell on the ground and began weeping. Ash of course noticed this and said to Misty, "Oh shit. Sorry Misty I have to go. Bye." Then he hung up the phone.

Dawn was still on the floor weeping when Ash came up in front of her. He tried offering his hand but she slapped it away.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!"

"Dawn! It's not what you think!"

"OF COURSE IT IS! YOU'RE CHEATING ON ME ASH KETCHUM! YOU BASTARD! WHAT DID I DO WRONG? WHAT HAVEN'T I DONE for you…" she barely whispered the last two words before she started crying all over again.

"Ok, I'm going to let the cat out of the bag. You know how tomorrow is our anniversary right?"

Wait a minute; did Ash just say that tomorrow was their anniversary? Was I wrong with the dates?

Still sobbing, Dawn replied, "Ash, the anniversary *sniff* was today…"

Ash smiled at the reply and quickly answer, "That was in Sinnoh Dawn. This is Kanto remember? We're one day BEHIND."

"Oh, right… How could I have forgotten that? But…"

"Why were you asking Misty out on the telephone?" Dawn asked still sobbing.

"I wanted to go shopping with her to get the things I needed for our surprise anniversary party. Not really a surprise anymore right?"

"So that's what he meant." I stopped sobbing before picking myself back up and walking towards Ash. I placed both my arms around him and buried my face into his chest. Ash in turn rested his chin on my head and placed his arms around me as well.

"Dawn, I want you to know that I'll never cheat on you for anyone else. You're too special to me and I'll always love you forever." And with that he planted a kiss on her forehead.

Dawn felt alright now, actually, better than alright. She was glad that the misunderstanding was cleared up and what made her feel better was that Ash had never forgotten that special day, she just misinterpreted it.

"I'm sorry Ash…"

"Don't be sweetie."

She placed a smile on her face before she allowed Ash to pick her up, go upstairs and place her back on her bed. He kissed her goodnight before he went back downstairs.

"I'll always love you too Ash… forever…"
