Chapter 14

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon!

Last time:

Dawn swiftly raised her hands and slapped him across the cheek, hard. A very red handprint was evident across his left cheek. And with that, Dawn promptly shut the door behind and began her trek to the Veilstone train station.

Dawn awoke, hearing a knocking on her bedroom door before the door burst open. She sat up and rubbed her eyes vigorously. "What? What's going on?" Dawn confusedly asked.

"'Bout time you woke up!" A voice teased. Dawn finally opened her eyes and saw Kenny sitting at the foot of her bed. She groaned before lying back down quickly. She closed her eyes and pulled the comforter over her face. "Come on!" Kenny complained like a young child before tugging at the edge comforter. He finally stood up and pulled the blanket off of Dawn. Dawn's eyes shot open before frowning.

"Ken—ny," Dawn whined and pouted. She sat up and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Daw—n," Kenny mimicked before dropping the comforter to fall to the ground.

"I wanna sleep," Dawn continued to whine.

"No can do," Kenny shook his head, "your mom told me to wake you up."

"Fu—," Dawn was about to curse but she saw Kenny glaring, "fu—dge." Dawn smiled sheepishly.

"Do you even know what time it is?" Kenny asked.

"No, I don't know. 9am maybe?" Dawn guessed. Kenny shook his head before walking over to one of her windows and pulled the string. A blinding light began to flood Dawn's room. Dawn closed her eyes and put her hands on top of them.

"Does that give you a hint?"

"Close the blinds. They're giving me a headache," Dawn complained.

"If you get up, I will," Kenny bribed. Dawn considered it before nodding her head quickly. Kenny then closed the blinds and walked over to turn on the light. Dawn parted her fingers so that she could barely see and saw that it wasn't extremely bright anymore. She took her hands off her face and sighed.

"I'm up," Dawn agreed before getting out of bed slowly.

"Much better," Kenny nodded. He watched as she went around the room gathering things for her shower. "So," Kenny started, "where were you yesterday?"

Dawn stopped in front of her dresser and turned around. She bit her lip because she didn't want to give the secret away but she didn't want to lie. "Um," Dawn stumbled, "I was out of town." It wasn't exactly lying, it was dodging the question.

"Oh," Kenny answered. "I see," Kenny understood, buying Dawn's half-lie. "You can go and shower now. But don't take too long! I'll wait downstairs," Kenny pointed his thumb at the door and soon went downstairs.

Dawn quickly finished grabbing her towel and underwear and headed off for the bathroom. Dawn undressed and stepped into the hot shower. She inhaled the steam and let out a deep breath. She lathered her hair with strawberry shampoo and followed using matching strawberry conditioner. She then grabbed the loofa and washed her body using cherry blossom scented lather. She then shut off the water and grabbed the fluffy hot pink towel off the rack and wrapped it around herself. She stepped out and shivered.

She headed back to her room and opened her closet. She eyed each potential outfit before deciding on one: grey skinny jeans, a long-sleeve rose v-neck shirt, Dawn's traveling pink boots, the silver heart necklace and a black purse. She was half-way out the door and was about to close it when she saw Kenny's jacket hanging on her vanity. She quickly ran in and grabbed it before doing one last hair check. She did different poses before nodding to herself. She pulled on Kenny's forest green jacket before walking downstairs.

Kenny was sitting at her dining room table eating lunch with her mom. Dawn headed over and took a seat across from Kenny and diagonal from her mom.

"Good morning, Dawn. Did you sleep well?" Johanna asked.

"Yeah, mom," Dawn nervously laughed.

"I can't believe that you slept until 12pm, Dee Dee," Kenny laughed.

"Hush up," Dawn sneered.

"Dawn! Be nice," Johanna gently scolded.

"Fine," Dawn said with a complaining undertone.

"Wanna get some lunch in town, Dawn?" Kenny asked Dawn's opinion.

"Sure. Sounds like fun!" Dawn agreed. The two stood up and walked over to the front door. Kenny opened it for Dawn and Dawn called out, "Bye ,mom! I'll be back later!" Johanna nodded and smiled. Dawn walked out the door and Kenny followed, closing the door behind them. Kenny put his arm around Dawn and they walked down the snowy path into town.

Kenny groaned, sitting on a black leather couch in front of black curtains. There were 5 cream colored dividers against a wall with a black curtain as a door.

"Stop complaining, Kenny!" A voice yelled from the middle curtain. Suddenly the curtain was pulled back to reveal Dawn in a sleeveless black dress with a hot pink sash under her bust; it flared out in a tulle a-line skirt that ended mid-thigh. Dawn had hot pink pumps to match it. She twirled around in it and the posed with her hand on her hip. "What do you think?"

Kenny gaped for a minute before regaining his thoughts, "Looks great. Better than the other ones you tried on."

Dawn smiled, "Finally! I needed a new contest dress but never got around to buying one." She then headed back into the dressing room to change.

Kenny was still shocked as his best friend. That dress was stunning on her. He also really hoped that there were no more dresses to try on. He was getting really tired of dress shopping. When Dawn stepped out of the dressing in room in her regular clothes and the dress and shoes in hand, Kenny breathed a sigh of relief and then stood up off the black leather couch. They proceeded to the check-out counter and Kenny watched as Dawn paid for the dress and shoes. They ventured out into the freezing cold with Dawn happily swinging the dress bag in hand. Kenny took her free hand in his and they childishly swung their hands as they walked down the snow-covered street to their houses.

After shopping, Dawn sat on her bed contemplating how to tell Kenny that she would love to go out on a date with him. She had a mental list of possibilities but she didn't like any of the ideas which she had come up with. She outwardly sighed and fell backwards in frustration. Her mind brought her back to when Kenny had first asked her out. He said it with flowers. The corners of Dawn's lip began to tug upwards as she sat up and grabbed her laptop. In the empty search box, she typed the words 'flower meanings.' She smiled as a list of links appeared on the screen. She picked the first one she saw. Dawn read each and every meaning carefully and slowly. Her eyes finally settled on one. She let out a light giggle and quickly wrote down the name of the flower on a notepad. She closed her laptop and heard her mom calling her for dinner. She got up and headed down.

Johanna and Dawn sat across from each other at the dinner table. Laid out on the table was grilled chicken, a light Cesar salad, and for dessert, fresh fruit. Dawn was currently picking at her green salad while her mom was finishing off the last of her dessert.

"Mom?" Dawn asked looking up from her almost untouched plate of food.

"Yes?" Johanna responded, popping the last piece of apple in her mouth.

"Do you know where the nearest flower shop is?" Dawn asked while a slight shine in her navy eyes.

"Yeah. There's one further into town. Why?" Johanna answered while getting up and placing her now empty plate in the sink.

"Oh, nothing," Dawn smiled innocently while beginning to actually eat her dinner. Johanna returned to her seat in front of Dawn and stared at her daughter in curiosity.

"Dawn," Johanna began sternly. Dawn looked up with her eyes filled with excitement. Johanna saw this and lightened her tone. "What aren't you telling me?" Johanna inquired.

"Well," Dawn was about to begin, "how about I tell you tomorrow? When I know for sure?" Johanna's expression changed to one of confusion.

"Sure, Dawn," Johanna assured. Dawn stood up to clear her plate and placed it gently in the sink. Johanna could hear her daughters hurried footsteps echoing from the stairs. As if on cue, she could hear Dawn's door slam. She sighed; her daughter was one confusing teenager.

Dawn sat on her bed giddy with happiness. She simply couldn't wait for tomorrow. She prepped for bed and she fell asleep with a smile gracing her lips for the second night in a row.

I hope that you liked it! It was pretty fluffy and a bit pointless but it had SOME content in it.
