The scene fades before revealing a new one.
-*X*x*X*-
Dawn and Hani were sitting together in the studio, waiting patiently for Raven and Wolf to come back. No doubt, Dawn was worried about Wolf and Raven. He was really drunk the other night and Dawn began to think of the endless possibilities of what could have happened to those two. She had called the two of them an endless number of times but it would always go to voicemail.
Dawn hoped everything between her and Wolf would be fine. She didn't want their relationship that they shared with each other go downhill. Then, she recalled Wolf's confession to her and how angry he had been when he stormed away. Was she that horrible? And why was she so naïve to not recognize Wolf's feelings to her earlier? Why didn't he tell her earlier?
Dawn let out a breath she didn't even realize she was holding.
Hani, adjusting her glasses, noticed Dawn and said, "I'm sure they'll be back soon. I don't think Wolf is that irresponsible," She said jokingly, but Dawn didn't even crack a smile.
Dawn glanced at the clock on the wall and could hear the tick as the hands were moving, "How long…has Wolf had these feelings about me?" She asked, looking at Hani.
Hani shrugged, "Possibly a while. Maybe you could get an answer from him."
"That's if he's willing to talk to me. I feel like a huge bitch!" Dawn exclaimed, regretting her actions earlier. She shouldn't have let her and Ash's break up get to her. She had never known that she would lose her relationship with Wolf. "I messed up really bad, Hani. I'm going to lose Wolf."
Hani smiled, "Don't worry, Wolf has a huge heart. I'm sure he'll understand once you talk to him. He'll forgive you eventually."
"I hope so too." Dawn admitted.
Five minutes had passed and the curiosity had been eating Hani alive, so she couldn't take it anymore. "Dawn, I need to know something." Dawn looked at Hani, raising her eyebrows. "Do you like Wolf more than just a singing partner or your friend?" She asked.
Honestly, Dawn had asked herself this question various times, when they had almost kissed in the library and even when they did share the kiss earlier. Of course, she wasn't sure of the answer but when Wolf stormed away to be found with Raven later on, it was all clear to her.
Dawn bit her lip, "I do. A lot." She admitted.
"Then what's the problem?" Hani stood up flailing her arms, "You both like each other, so what's stopping you guys from being together?"
Dawn remained silent. Her silence basically gave the answer away.
"Or better…who's stopping you guys?" She clarified and Dawn looked at her, eyes widened.
"That's…nonsense. I've moved on from Ash." She said, confidently.
"No, you haven't. You just think you have." Hani started, "You still love Ash, Dawn." Dawn wanted to rebut but Hani wouldn't let her, "It doesn't take only two weeks to get over the love of your life, Dawn. And it's normal. It's going to take a long time for you to get over Ash."
Dawn gulped, "I…don't know what to do. I mean, it's not like Ash and I can get back together in an instant and Wolf is probably still mad at me."
"Those can be sorted out later. But what you need to do is make a decision about who you want to be with." Hani advised and Dawn sighed deeply.
This was going to be the toughest choice of her life.
Soon enough, Wolf and Raven were walking into the room and Dawn and Hani stood up. Dawn looked relieved to see the two of them back and Hani was smiling as well, but the two of them had various questions running through their minds.
Dawn grinned and ran up to hug Wolf, "Wolf! I'm so glad you're back!" He stumbled a bit, but he didn't return the hug and instead released her. Dawn was taken aback a little with his cold attitude, but she knew she deserved it too.
"Do you know how worried we've been?" Hani asked. "And what's up with the news with Wolf getting drunk and getting found with Ursula and you?" She asked, directing the question to Raven.
Raven blushed; the memory was fuzzy and all she recalled was her and Wolf going up in a local hotel and things went kind of haywire from there. Dawn noticed Raven blushing and furrowed her eyebrows. Then she looked at Wolf, whose cheeks were heating up as well. She began to put two and two together until her eyes widened as she realized something. Wolf was pretty drunk and Raven looked to be drunk as well…could they have…
"Uhh, well, uhh I went to look for Wolf yesterday and I found him in the club. He was drinking so I decided to join in the fun," Raven started, Wolf gave her a dubious look but she continued, "Then things got a bit…wild and the next thing you know, we woke up in a hotel room," And she decided to leave it at that, seeing no reason to share more details.
Dawn's and Hani's eyes widened, "Hotel room?!" Dawn's voice was the strongest as she yelled across the room. She couldn't believe it.
"I told you not to tell them the truth," Wolf whispered to Raven.
"I couldn't think of a lie and besides, nothing happened anyways," Raven whispered back.
Dawn's mouth was still agape and Hani had eyes as wide as dinner plates. Wolf and Raven had no idea what was going on in their minds.
"Relax, nothing happened." Raven waved her hand in dismissal.
"Umm, are you sure?" Hani asked, worriedly.
"Yeah, trust me. I would know," She said.
Meanwhile, Dawn had been looking back and forth at Wolf and Raven. Sure, they had said nothing had happened, but she still felt jealous coursing through her veins. They woke up in a hotel room, who knows what could have happened?!
"I can't believe this." Dawn said, angrily, looking the other way.
"You're supposed to be happy," Wolf retorted.
"Why would I be happy about this?!" Dawn yelled.
"Because now I'm with another girl!" Wolf yelled and then he began to walk away from all the three girls. It sure looked like his drunken state had worn off. Dawn eyed Hani and Raven, indicating that she might need some alone time with Wolf as she ran to catch up to him.
Ash was in class, trying to pay attention to the lecture, but it was difficult to do, since his thoughts were swarming with Dawn. He had decided to lay off drinking for a while, but it was getting to be really difficult. It had almost been a whole month since he and Dawn broke up and not once did he not think about her. He kept wondering if he had made the biggest mistake of his life by breaking up with her. Was she even cheating on him?
"Pssst, Ash did you do your essay?" Tracey asked, beside him.
Ash flinched, "Wait…essay? What essay?!" He yelled and Tracey shook his head in slight disapproval.
"Thinking about Dawn?" He asked. Ash eyed the teacher, who was just showing a video presentation.
"Yeah. What do I do? I mean, I don't know…if I'm a big idiot who messed everything up or I did the right thing by breaking up with her."
"Well," Tracey started, "Ask yourself this. Do you still love Dawn?" Tracey knew he still did, but he wanted to hear it from Ash.
Ash laid back in his seat, pretending to look interested in the video presentation, and sighed. Soon enough he whispered the words Tracey longed to hear.
"Yes. I still do love Dawn." He admitted and Tracey smiled triumphantly.
"But it's too late to make it up to her. It's way too late," Ash said as he recalled the kiss that Dawn and Wolf shared at the concert earlier.
"Hey man," Tracey whispered, "Maybe it is or maybe it's not. If you don't try, then you'll never know." And once again, Ash was impressed at Tracey's words of wisdom. He nodded and began to dwell in his thoughts, not paying much attention to the teacher.
"Wolf! Stop!" Dawn commanded and Wolf stopped and turned to face her.
"I know you're mad but you have to hear me out here," She said as she walked closer towards him. "Just listen to me." She pleaded.
Wolf sighed, "Fine. But it better be a good explanation." He said and Dawn lightly smiled.
"Okay," She breathed, "After Ash and I broke up, I got some advice from Hani and Raven that it was best to move on from him. And so I wrote that song and poured my feelings out in that song. I wanted to show Ash that this break up wasn't going to affect me so I convinced him to watch our concert. But before the concert, we hung out together and we almost kissed. I don't know where it came from but all I knew was that we were going to kiss. And then at our concert, people kept chanting us to kiss. I knew that Ash was watching and I wanted to convince him that I was over him. So I took advantage of the opportunity and I kissed you." She finished, letting out a breath.
"Yeah, you used me to get revenge on Ash." He simplified, rolling his eyes.
"It's not like that!" She yelled and Wolf gave her a dubious look, "Okay, maybe it was. And I was stupid." Wolf looked at her, her eyes filled with tears.
"I'm sorry," She said, tears flowing down her cheeks. "I really am. I didn't realize that by getting revenge on Ash, I would lose you. I don't want to lose both Ash and you." She admitted, wiping her tears away.
"You haven't lost me," Wolf's expression softened.
"I felt like I was. Especially when you stormed off and didn't return. I was so worried." Dawn whispered softly.
"Well could you blame me? The girl I'm in love with used me and so I just wanted to get my thoughts cleared. I didn't know it would end up being that crazy." Wolf said and Dawn's eyes widened.
"You're still in love with me? Even after all of that?" She asked in disbelief.
"Dawn, I can be angry at you at a lot of things for who knows how long," He said as he cupped her face with his hands, "But I've been in love with you for so long that nothing in this world is ever going to change how and what I feel for you." He said, staring in her blue sapphire eyes.
"Do you forgive me?" She asked. Wolf's eyes flickered to her lips, he wanted so desperately to close the distance and kiss her, but he didn't.
"I probably won't forget about it, but, yeah. I understand." He said, stepping back from her now.
Dawn had loved the feeling when he was close to her, caressing her cheeks, his breath on her face. When he had stepped back, she found herself a little dazed and somewhat disappointed that he didn't kiss her, but she quickly composed herself. Now it was her turn to reveal her feelings about him.
"Wolf?"
He looked at her, "Yeah?"
Dawn bit her lip and then sighed, "I…" She hesitated and Wolf grew more and more curious, "I think I'm in love with you too."
As the words escaped her lips and now registered in Wolf's brain, he had to pinch himself to convince himself that this wasn't a dream. He walked closer to her until he was just as close as he was before.
"Are…you serious?" He asked, not taking his eyes off of her.
She gulped a little, but managed to speak with confidence, "I am," She confirmed.
Without any warning, Wolf threw his arms around her and engulfed her in a hug and she put her arms around his neck to return the hug. Wolf was so happy he picker her up and spun her around, he couldn't believe this was happening.
"Dawn, believe me, you have no idea how long I've been waiting for you to say that," He whispered and Dawn smiled. Wolf put her back on the ground and they both released.
"Then why didn't you tell me before?" She asked.
He sighed, putting his hands into his pockets, "Because, at that time, you were already taken and you were really happy. I didn't want to get in between you two. But, I just kept having these feelings for you and I couldn't control it."
"But Ash and I broke up a while ago and you still didn't…" She said.
Wolf nodded, "Because I know the break up left you devastated. It crushed you and part of it was my fault as well-I was the one who came up with your little birthday getaway that led to all of this. And besides, you still loved Ash." He said.
Dawn bit her lip worriedly, thinking that she was in a conflicting mind-set, but she became curious about something, "Hey…what happened to Ursula? Wasn't she there at the club with you?"
Wolf shrugged, "I don't really recall what happened with Ursula after we were dancing. That, and I just don't care," He said. "I just care that there are finally no more secrets between the two of us," He smiled. "Now that Ash is out of the way, maybe…we could…"
Dawn instantly knew what he was trying to say, something along the lines of being in a relationship, but she knew that she couldn't lie to him. Dawn still loved Ash and there was no way that she could just forget about a guy who she had been with since high school and move on with a snap of a finger.
"Well, Ash isn't…completely out of the way." She started. Wolf raised an eyebrow.
"What do you-" Wolf's green eyes grew big, "Wait…you still love him?" He questioned and Dawn remained silent, until she just nodded her head.
He sighed and scratched his blond hair, biting his lip, "Wow."
"Yeah…" She breathed, "It's really confusing."
"Well," Wolf started, "I mean I would offer for you to share us," He said jokingly and Dawn laughed, "but I know that's not going to work. Well, maybe it could, but only for a bit of the time, I mean a threesome is every guy's dream at some point in their life and-"
Dawn rolled her eyes, "Just get to the point," She said flatly, interrupting.
Wolf's cheeks turned read, perhaps he spoke too much, "Right. Who's it going to be? Me? Or Ash?"
She had asked that question to herself many times and it wasn't a question that you'd instantly get the answer to. No doubt, Wolf was a sweet guy, but Dawn knew that she had made Wolf feel like crap when she used him. He didn't deserve someone as diabolic and manipulative as her. She actually couldn't believe that Wolf had a big enough of a heart to forgive her. And even if they would get involved in a relationship together, how long would it last?
And then there was Ash, the guy she'd instantly hit it off in high school. Initially, she thought that Dawn and him would be perfect together. They were so many things that they had in common and they relate to each other a lot. But Dawn knew that their relationship was messed up and there was already too much damage.
But strangely, yet appealingly, she couldn't come to a conclusion.
"I need time to think about it." She said.
Wolf slowly nodded, "Of course, I get it. But exactly how much time do you need?" He asked, a bit jokingly.
Dawn cracked a smile, "I honestly don't know. But when I decide, I'll make sure you know who I want to be with."
"Take all the time you need. And even if you don't choose me, I just want you to be happy." He said as honestly as possible.
"Thanks." She smiled.
3 days later…
"Tracey! Tracey!" Ash called out to Tracey who was lying on the bed with a newspaper on his face, asleep. "Tracey!"
"Wha-Ahhhh!" He exclaimed as he collapsed from the bed and onto the floor. "Ohhh…my head…" He groaned. Ash quickly helped him up to his feet.
"What is it?" He yawned as he looked across the clock, "Dude, it's fricking 4 AM!" He yelled.
"Forget about that!" He exclaimed as he sat down on Tracey's bed and opened his laptop and started to type something. "I've gotten the information that the next Meloetta awards is this Friday."
"Good for them," Tracey said, groggily.
Ash face-palmed, "You don't get it, Trace! This awards ceremony is a huge event, where all the stars going to be and that includes Dawn and…Wolf."
"What are you saying?"
Ash's lips lifted into a small smile, "I want to make things right and I want to get back together with Dawn. Hopefully, when we go to the ceremony I can get a hold of her and talk to her."
"Dude…are you sure this isn't a dream? Maybe I'm still sleeping," Tracey said while Ash chuckled to himself.
"No way, Trace. This is real. I've been a huge idiot and I've really been unfair to Dawn. I should have trusted her from the start. I know I messed up, but I really hope it's not too late," He said before looking at Tracey.
"You did the right thing, Ketchum." He smiled as he laid back in bed, falling asleep again and while Ash had a big smile etched upon his face.
"Welcome everyone, I'm Rebecca Sparks, speaking to you live, from the Meloetta awards at one of the main events: The red carpet!" A brunette spoke to the camera. Behind the brunette was a huge red carpet lined up for several celebrities and stars to walk on. The whole entrance was decorated beautifully with dazzling colorful lights and there were several people wanting to get shots of all of the talented stars.
"This year's been quite a handful and many people are wondering who will get the biggest award of the year and it's a huge competition between none other than Dawn Berlitz and her rival Ursula Bryans. Speaking of Ursula, here she is right now, coming live to you on the red carpet."
Ursula began to walk gracefully and with poise as she placed one hand on her hip. She was wearing an elegant purple dress, with which the chest area was shimmering and the back of the dress had reached the floor while the front of it had slightly fell below her knees.
"Well, here's Ursula looking all fine in that gorgeous dress. Now is there anything you'd like to say to your fans before the show?"
Ursula smiled while looking at the camera, "Well, I just have to say that this year is a roller coaster, especially with my rival, Dawn. But I've had the support of my fans as well and I have to admit this journey's been fun so far. My life's changed to the better and I have no one else to thank but my fans and everyone who's been supporting me so far. In the end, whoever wins…well, good job." She said and the brunette smiled.
"Well, that was really nice of Ursula, just like always." The brunette said, not noticing Ursula scoff and roll her eyes as she walked away.
"Moving on ahead and it looks like your favorite pokestar couple are now approaching the red carpet: It's Dawn and Wolf!"
