Oh no! What if Dawn heard what Misty and May were talking about! That would be so heartbreaking. I guess that we're just gonna have to find out!

Dawn just continued to stand there with a blank look. It's almost as if she were hurt deep down.

"Hey Dawn! You okay?" asked May.

"Yeah...I'm fine! But I just remembered, it's way passed my curfew." Dawn said quietly.

Misty and May looked at eachother, and then looked back at Dawn.

"Everything okay?" Misty asked.

"Yes. I-I just have to leave now. Have a goodnight Misty..." she said before she ran out the room.

"Something's not right Misty. Dawn was just fine before she left to go to the bathroom." said May.

"That's true..." said Misty.

"Um, Misty, I'll talk to you tomorrow. I hope you don't mind if I go see what's wrong with her."

"Sure I don't mind! You go on ahead!"

"Thank you Misty! Talk to you tomorrow!"

"Bye!"

May was rushing so fast to get down to the lobby of the apartment, she took the stairs, totally forgetting all about the elevator. Of course, she usually forgets when she's in a hurry. Then suddenly, when she gets down to the lobby, she didn't see Dawn any where. May didn't realize that Dawn could move so fast.

"Dawn...where'd you go?" May thought

Then May hits the corner of the old pokemon center, and sees Dawn running up the path.

"What? Where is she going? And why is she running?" May asked herself.

That's when she decided to run after her.

"Dawn! Wait up!" she yelled from behind.

Dawn heard May's voice and just decided to run faster. But May was even faster than that. When she finally caught up with her, she stopped and jumped in front of her.

"Dawn! Hold on sec! We both know full well that it is not past your curfew. It's too early."

"Oh...I know that! I just really have to get home early. I um, I promised Ash that'd I call him sometime tonight. And wowee, would you look at the time! Gotta go!" Dawn said quickly, and tried to run off.

But May was on to her. She could tell when something was wrong.

"Hold it!" May said as she grabbed onto the back of Dawn's hair.

"Ow, Ow! Hey! What's your problem!" Dawn said putting her hands on the top of her head.

May knew Dawn hated when people grabbed her hair. But she also knew that it was the only way to get her full attention.

"Actually Dawn, I'm not the one with the problem. Something's wrong. Now spill it." she said.

"Why do I have to spill my problems! It was enough torture that I had to listen to you and Misty talk!" Dawn yelled.

But then when she realized what she just said, she quickly put her hand over her mouth.

"Wait. How did you know that...

"I heard you from the bathroom! I had just finished washing my hands when I heard you guys starting to mention Ash and Misty's old relationship. I feel so guilty! If I knew that Misty missed Ash this much, I would've been broken up with him!"

"You don't have to, Dawn!" shouted May.

"I didn't mean to come between those two!"

"You didn't! Dawn, please. As a friend, just trust me on this one. Misty isn't mad at you or anything. Yes she does miss Ash, a whole lot. But she said that she didn't want you to break up with him for her."

"And why's that?"

"She said she wouldn't be happy knowing that you're unhappy. So there's no problem."

"Wow, really! That sure is a load of my mind!" Dawn said happily.

"I'm glad. So, what are you waiting for? You said it was way passed your curfew. You better get on home now." May said with a smile.

"Okay." said Dawn.

Dawn had thanked May for taking a few minutes out of her time to help her out. It felt good to get her problems out. Especially to a good friend. So Dawn made it home safely with her piplup going back and forth to the window, wondering where she is. And as she walked in the door, piplup ran over to her hugging her legs as if to say "where have you been all night? I've been worried sick." Dawn had just placed her purse on the couch as the phone began to ring. She picked it up surprisely, realizing it was Ash.

"Hey Dawn, how's everything going?" Ash asked.

"Fine! But, wasn't I supposed to call you tonight?"

"Well, sort of but, you know how impatient I can be. I just had to hear your voice!"

Dawn always loved how Ash use to sweet-talk her. And she felt comfortable talking to him knowing Misty was fine with everything.

So they continued to talk that night without any problems.

"Dawn, I meant to ask you. Where were you tonight? I called twice and didn't get any answer." said Ash.

"Oh! May and I just when over Misty's apartment and, you know, hung out."

"Really? Just what did you gals do?"

"Uh, we talked..."

"Talked about what?" he asked.

Dawn didn't want to tell Ash about what she heard May and Misty talk about, or else he wouldn't know what to do. Dawn could never imagine having 2 girls that love her like this. One that's his current girlfriend, and his ex-girlfriend who still has feelings for him. But then, on the other hand, Dawn realized that she didn't have to tell him what they did. What ever they talked about was their business. Also, she did know how nosey Ash could be.

"Now Ash, you don't need to know all that! What us girls do is very personal!" she said.

"Oh. Okay. So, how's Misty? Is she doing okay?" asked Ash.

"Yeah! She's doing great! No need to worry about that!"

"I see."

Just then, a sudden thought popped into Dawn's head.

"Um, Ash?"

"Yeah Dawn?"

"Do you still have feelings for Misty?"

Then there was a moment of silence. It finally hit her when she realized what she just asked.

"Well...of course I have feelings for her. As a friend...but that's all."

Dawn suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

"Dawn? Any reason you would ask a question like that?" he asked.

"Oh! No! Not at all! I meant...did you still like her as a friend, and I did get your answer!"

Ash had to wonder why Dawn was beginning to act weird just because of a question he asked her. But then, when he glanced at the clock, he realized what time it was. So he obviously thought she could've been acting weird, out of tiredness. So he told Dawn he loved her, and to have a goodnight, and that he'd be down her place tomorrow. So after Dawn hung up the phone, she once again, let out a sigh of relief.

"Wow. That sure was strange. Why did I ask that?" Dawn asked herself.

"Piplup?" said her curious penguin pokemon.

"Huh? Oh, sorry piplup. Guess I haven't been paying much attention to you lately. Especially since I got home."

Dawn decided to take off her day-time clothes, and take a relaxing shower, so she could put on a nice warm night-gown. Then she got into bed with her piplup next to her, and closed her eyes.

"Tomorrow's another day...good-night piplup..."

Whew...so far so good! Happy things worked out! Now tomorrow, Dawn can start a whole new day of happiness! It's such a good thing that she can totally expect everything to be alright now! Hmm, can't wait to see how Misty's going to wake up in the morning! Review!
