Day 12. Part 2 of Homesick.
"Oh hi there." Dawn smiled weakly at a beaming Pikachu. "Pikachu! What are you doing?" Ash scolded him running up to them. "Oh, this is your Pikachu?" Dawn asked lifting her head up.
"Dawn?" Ash was taken aback by the surprise visit from his friend. "Ash!" Dawn beamed putting Pikachu down and giving her friend a bone-crushing hug. "It's been so long." Dawn smiled her chin resting on his shoulder.
"I've missed you." Ash whispered hugging her back. Pikachu and Piplup smirked at their trainers hugging each other. (We should totally bring them together.) Piplup whispered to Pikachu. (Mhmmm.) Pikachu nodded
"What are you doing here?" Ash asked as they parted from their long embrace. "Oh." Dawn's face slackened and she slowly sat down in her seat. "What's wrong?" Ash asked mimicking Dawn's facial expression. "I was suppose to be home for the holidays." Dawn bit her lip, beginning to feel homesick once again.
"So what happened?" Ash pulled a chair in front of her and sat down. "My plane had a turbulence and it blew off course." She answered her hands now balling into a fist and shaking wildly.
"Hey, it's not your fault that you can't come home." Ash took her hands into his squeezing them tightly, hoping that it will comfort her. "I know but…"
"Hey, you're here now. At least let's spend the holidays together." Ash smiled intertwining her fingers with his. Dawn smiled at his gesture and nodded leaning close to him for an embrace once more.
Ash wrapped his arms round her and pulled her closer, her fruity perfume tickling his nose. He didn't know why, but holding her in his arms just felt so right.
Dawn was happy and felt better being held by Ash. She feels protected and comfortable. "Have I ever told you that I like you." She mumbled sleepily. Ash blushed at what his friend just said.
"I like you too." He whispered. "Really?" Dawn asked looking into his eyes doubtfully. Ash nodded. Dawn giggled as his face turned bright red. "You're blushing." She giggled pointing a finger and brushing it against his cheek.
"Awww…I didn't know that Ash had a girlfriend." Serena gushed looking at Ash and Dawn. "Let's go meet her!" Bonnie jumped up and grabbed Clemont's and Serena's hands.
"Look at you two." Clemont teased. Ash and Dawn broke eye contact and looked the gang behind them. Dawn turned to Ash with a "who are these guys?" look on her face.
Ash chuckled and introduced his friends to Dawn. "Dawn these are my friends, Clemont, Serena and Bonnie."
"Nice to meet you guys." Dawn smiled. (Hey what about me?!) Piplup pouted. As soon as the introductions finished everyone sat down and finished their meal, talking about their adventures.
"C'mon let's go to our room." Serena suggested as they threw their trays in the trash. "Okay." Everyone nodded.
They all rushed to their room and crashed on the couch, continuing their conversation. Dawn started to talk about her journey to winning second place in the Grand Festival before her phone rang.
"Hello? Miss Berlitz, we would like to tell you that the planes are getting ready to fly back to Sinnoh now."
Dawn bit her lip and looked at Ash and her new friends. "Umm…no thanks. I'll stay here." She replied before ending the call.
"Anything wrong?" Ash asked looking at his girlfriend. Dawn shook her head. "Everything is great." She smiled as Ash pecked her cheek.
