Dawn's Letters!
"Ash, honey, something came for you in the mail." Delia's sweet, motherly voice traveled upstairs, down the hall, and into Ash's room, where he was currently relaxing on his bed.
Ash had been home from his travels for a month. The last region he had explored was Sinnoh. He was planning on going to Unova, but he decided against it after Dawn had informed him that she couldn't go along with him. She'd told him she could meet him there after she finished her business with Buneary. However, Ash had told her he would just wait until she was finished to go to Unova. That way he could travel with Dawn the entire time.
She was happy with his logical decision.
Ash really wanted Dawn to come along with him. They'd had so much fun in Sinnoh and he highly enjoyed her company. They'd grown to become close friends and their bond was inseparable, despite how far away they were from each other, right now.
He couldn't even deny his attraction to her. He had developed feelings for Dawn as they had become closer and they only deepened every day. Ash was no longer a dense boy. He'd grown out of that state a long time ago. And because he was dense no more, he was aware of certain signs.
Ash was sure Dawn felt the same way because of her little hints. Ash had planned to tell her how he felt about her, but whenever he tried he ended up making himself look foolish in front of her. Brock had even tried to help him, but Ash would just fail hopelessly.
However, Ash was determined to tell her sometime when they traveled with each other again.
He couldn't wait to see her again. He missed her greatly. He couldn't wait until he saw her walk off the boat and run up to him and jump in his arms (her words) for a long, awaited hug.
But for now, until that day come, he would just have to settle for their letter conversations. That was how they kept in touch with each other and remained connected, close. Ever since they departed from each other, they'd been writing letters to one another.
"It's from Dawn."
Hearing his mother's voice, caused Ash to jump. He was so lost in thought that he hadn't even heard his mother walk up the stairs. He didn't even see her walk in his room. The Pokemon Trainer looked at his pretty mother. She was wearing a sincere, knowing smile on her face.
Delia was well aware of how her son felt for the beautiful bluenette. She had figured it out easily because he always blushed and grin a goofy grin whenever he received her letter. Or if he was writing back to her.
Ash blushed hearing Dawn's name. He sat up so he was sitting comfortably on his bed.
The woman laughed at her son's antics and proceeded to hand him the envelope. Ash took the envelope from her and studied it, his finger brushing easily over the stamp. Dawn's dainty, neat hand writing covered the front of the envelope. He couldn't wait to read her letter. The anticipation was growing inside of him and his heart beat began to speed up. For some reason he always got nervous when one of her letters came.
"You know, Ash, you are very lucky." Delia winked at her son before she walked out of his room so he could read Dawn's letter in privacy.
Ash smiled. He knew what his mom was talking about and exactly who he was refering to. He knew he was lucky to have Dawn in his life. It's been nothing but gold ever since they first met.
Ash opened the clean white envelope slowly and carefully, not wanting to destroy the envelope her small, delicate hands had touched. This time it wasn't a letter. It was something else.
He pulled out a small photo of her and Piplup and a smile instantly spread across her face.
He guessed it was a picture from one of her latest photo shoots that she had informed him about.
Her picture was absolutely gorgeous. She was gorgeous
She was dressed in her winter attire. She wore a red peacoat adorned with four pink buttons with a white stylish scarf wrapped carefully around her neck. She held Piplup in one of her arms while her free arm was placed on top of her head, making for a cute pose. It was amusing to Ash that Piplup had a bottle of Ketchup. He still remembered the day Pikachu had convinced Piplup to try Ketchup. Ever since then, the water Pokemon had been addicted just like Pikachu.
However, what made Ash smile the most was the fact that she was wearing his hat. Dawn had took it from him the day they seperated and she told him she would give it back when they met up again. He was glad she had it, though, because it was as if she was able to take an important peice of him with her.
His hat looked great on her. Her blue eyes seemed to stand out more from underneath his hat. And her hair flowed so lovely from underneath it. This was by far his favorite picture of her because she wore his hat. It meant a lot to him that she had chosen to wear his favorite hat during her photoshoot. Ash honestly thought she'd forgotten about it and simply had it lying around in her room somewhere.
Ash studied the picture for a few more seconds before he turned it over so he could read the back. She always wrote a little note on the back of the pictures she sent him.
Ash,
I hope you like my picture. It
was taken at my photo shoot
last week. I hope you liked the
extra accessory also ;) I can't
wait to see you. I'm very
excited about being able to
travel with you again.
I really miss you, Ash!
Just a few more weeks :]
I hope to here from you soon~
Love,
Dawn
Ash smiled at the little note and turned the small paper back around to glance at the picture one last time before he placed it on his dresser for safekeeping. He couldn't keep the lovable grin off his face as he grabbed a piece of paper and pen to write her back immediately.
That was the first time she ever wrote Love. Usually she only wrote her name.
This made Ash's confidence rise to a new level.
As soon as Dawn and Ash reunited, he would tell her his feelings for her.
Except this time, with no problems.
