To those who review to my story
Zombyra: Thank for your comment. I know Hikari's dub name is Dawn, but I started writing this before her name became dub, and I was used to Hikari over Dawn so I naturally put Hikari.
Farla: Thank you for your review, I am sorry my story has a lot of errors in it. The problem is that I am trying to become a better writer by writing fiction, and I have worthless computer where the spell check for the most part doesn't work. I will truly try to get better.
Tommy Oliver Brachio Black: Thank for reading my story. As I said before, I was writing this story before Hikari became Dawn, I'm just more use to that.
And also thank you to BlazexFlame, Naruto Ninja44 and to Naruto Uzumaki Kazama, for commenting on my story. Anyway thank you.

A Big Crush Ch.2
At the river, 1:04 am
They reach the river and sat down near each other, but Dawn made sure not to sit too close to Ash since she wanted to be comfortable. Either one of them say anything for the longest time since they got there, Dawn was silently thinking about her feelings toward Ash wondering if they really were just friendship feelings, she glanced at Ash; he was looking blankly at the water of the river, she wondered what he was thinking about, until he broke the silence with a question.
"You can tell me Dawn, what's bothering you?" Ash said softly to her.
Dawn didn't say anything at first; she was a little embarrassed about the whole reason. "Nothing really, I just couldn't sleep so I wanted to come out here until I got tired." She calmly told Ash, she looked at Ash and smiled sweetly at him to hind her confusion "I'm fine, everything is ok." Ash then looked at her eyes blankly; he slowly turned his head away and said "Ok… if you say you're fine then I believe you." He said softly not wanting to press the issue anymore. Dawn look at Ash now, for who's face had a look of sadness in his brown eyes that once held so much energy for fun.
"I know she is keeping something from me, why wouldn't she open up to me? I guess she doesn't trust me." Ash sadly thought to him, he really felt that he was the last person Dawn could trust.
Dawn saw how sad Ash looked and wanted to say something remove the silence, but she didn't know what about. She looked around at the grass then at the river and remembered what happened at the lake the day she left home.
"Hey Ash you want to know something; I saw the legendary Pokémon Emrit on the first day I left Futaba Town near a lake" She said about the encounter. "What's an Emrit?" Ash asked very curiously about the Pokémon, Dawn was please to see the energy back in the boy's eyes. "It's a very powerful Psychic Pokémon that was said to have taught humans emotions to be able to find happiness in life"
Dawn said as she looked at Ash, who had a big smile on his goofy face, he then turn to look at Dawn, she sortof blushed when his eyes were on her "That's really cool, you know we're a lot alike you and me, on my first day I saw Ho-oh flying in the sky."
Dawn eyes got really wide when she heard him say that "Wow that's amazing. We are alike, seeing legendary Pokémon like there is no tomorrow." She spoke smiling at Ash as they both began to laugh. Dawn was happy that the silent aura had passed between, but Dawn could feel that heart was somewhat tight and her face was blushy, this feeling only came when Ash was around her, did she really have feelings for Ash?
Ash and Dawn stopped laughing and calmed down. Dawn then began to shake from the cold air hitting her skin and so she held herself to keep warm; Ash realize this so he took off his jacket and put it on his blue hair friend. When he did this Dawn blushed so red that she was a tomato "Hey what are you doing giving me your jacket?" She asks while turning away to hide her face. "Your cold, you will get sick if you don't cover up and keep warm; you don't have a jacket so I'm giving you mine." Ash said calmly "what about you" asking Dawn as she looked at him with red cheeks "I'll be fine" he responded sitting very closely to her as she was still blushing "Thank You" she told him softly.
She watched Ash for awhile thinking of how he has always been there for her; she then decided that she would tell him what was bothering her without giving away that she had been think about him that way she could find out if he had feelings for her and see if she did for him.
"Thanks Ash for being there for me. I don't know what I do without you" she told him making small talk.
"You're welcome Dawn, what are friends for?" Ash said not asking what he was being thanked for, he knew he was going to get the answer so he waited ten seconds before talking "I was right wasn't I?... something was bothering you right? That's why you couldn't sleep." He said caringly.
Dawn nodded "Yeah…" she began searching for words because she knew Ash wanted to know "Ash is there… someone you like?" she said boldly and red-faced
Ash looked at the young blushing blue haired girl with shock, he his face got a little red as well as he thought for a bit before answering "Why? Is there someone you like?" he asked her with another question to her question.
"No, I was just wanted to know if you like someone… that's all." Dawn said, 'Oh yeah… that's really believable Dawn" she thought to herself, Ash just looked at the girl and smiled before answering her question. "Yes… there is someone like that, and she was a Pokémon Coordinator just like you." Dawn felt her heart sink just then when Ash said there was indeed another "Oh… I see… well what is she like?" she asked not looking at him in the eyes.
Ash was still very near to Dawn as he looked up to the stars "Well… I should say it was more like a crush… her name was May Maple; she was a little hot-head but very sweet and caring when she needed to be, we met up just when I arrived in Hoenn" Hikari kept silent, heart began to tighten "She was new at the whole Pokémon thing, so I decided to help her with her training"
The Coordinator now had what felt like a big lump in her heart now, "Ash was she pretty?" She spoke softly "Well… she was cute; she had blue eyes and brown hair. And her voice was soft, I think about her often. I wonder what she is doing sometimes and worry if she is ok." Ash said as Dawn just nodded. Ash then looked at Dawn and saw that she was depressed; Ash couldn't help but feel for his friend so he put his arm around her shoulder, Dawn blushed a crimson color when Ash did this.
"Why I'm blushing so much, if I keep blushing like this he'll know something is up" she thought to herself, "Dawn, there is someone you like isn't there?" Ash bluntly said interrupting her mind as he was now looking at her "NO… What makes you think so!?" Dawn says quickly as she stood up away from Ash with her back towards him in order to hind her blush.
"I'll take that as a yes, so what is he like? Someone I know?" Ash asked smiling as he stood up like she did. "Well…I …he is …um…" Dawn stuttered keeping her back to Ash, the young trainer began to walk forward toward Dawn "Hey it's ok, you can trust me" he spoke softly to her as got ever closer. Dawn then turn around to see Ash there giving a supporting smile to her, for a moment she felt something as she looked at him, the feeling was calming and warm. Without know her knowing Ash put his hand on her right shoulder, "Its ok, I'm here for you"
Dawn was shocked when Ash put his hand on her and spoke those ever claming words. Then she looked into Ash's big caring eyes and her Teal blue eyes meet his chocolate brown. Dawn became to blush crimson red looking at Ash, it became too much her in the end, and Dawn turned and ran as fast as she could into the forest.
"Dawn!!"
Ash called her name but she kept running never stopping to look back with her face blushing.
Review please, thank you. Dollow
