He's Here!
I have Dawn's face and I have her name. My lilac sweater is still the same. I'm wearing it on top of the dress Zoey has given me. I believe that I'm doing something wrong. There are people saying hi to me, but I don't know who any of them are. They're smiling at me a little strangely. I remained polite and allowed them to kiss my hand because I think it's something Dawn would have done. What if someone notices I'm not her? What if my powers become too weak to imitate her looks and personality. I've still been wearing my own clothes, and nobody has seemed to notice. I know Dawn likes to wear girly clothes, but I didn't feel comfortable in that high pink skirt. I'd have to pretend I'm drunk or ill if they ever ask why I'm acting strange. As far as I know, I don't even think Dawn drinks. She's still so young, she must be at least three years younger than me.
This silver dress sparkles like the hair clips in my hair. It really doesn't suit me, but then again I'm not doing me, I'm Dawn for the time being. I'm a ninja, not a bride, but in this body I'm a pokemon coordinator. I gasped when I saw a man passing by wearing a black and orange suit. He had blonde hair and his eyes reminded me of someone I looked up to. When our eyes met, I froze on the spot. What's Naruto doing here? Has he come looking for me? How could they have known about the C-gear that transports you to anywhere you wish to go.
I can't wear my own clothes again until he's gone. If Naruto's here, then there's a high chance there's other people who have come with him. If Neji saw me as Dawn wearing my own clothes, he could look straight through me. I bet I didn't even have to be obvious. Oh they could never understand the damage I had done. I put Dawn's life in danger, I've got to put things right. I'm hoping that Dawn is alive. I don't know how I could live with myself if Dawn doesn't return soon. I don't want to think that I killed Dawn, but if she really is dying, I would have take all the reasonability; i's the least I could do. Deep inside I know that I have let down everybody who I've looked up to over the years.
"DAWN WHAT'S HAPPENED TO YOUR EYES?" Ash yelled.
"They're just contact lenses," I replied. I smiled and tried to make it look like I was removing lens out of my eyes. I blinked twice and could see that I was Dawn again. I ought to be more careful. I should stop getting so worried all the time. I need to focus. I panted and placed my hand on my heart. "Don't scare me like that, Ash."
"Since when did you buy contact lenses?" Ash asked.
"A couple of weeks ago," I replied. "Just one of my shopping trips."
"With all that shopping you do it's a miracle we never run out of money!" Brock said. I couldn't believe just how naive they could both be sometimes. I think my friends would get on with Dawn's friends so well. Especially Ash and Naruto, they could be twins with their personalities. They're both strong, energetic and always do their best. If there were more people like that, I think the world would be a better place. I wish I could be more worthy. I know I can be so much stronger than how I am now. I need to prove myself that I deserve taking Dawn's place.
I felt like the world was watching me. They were watching me. Ash's outburst had given everyone a scare.
"Hello Hinata!"
The worst case scenario. I slowly turned and saw Naruto looking perplexed. He must have been looking for me. He knew it was me. He probably hates me right now. Okay Hinata, remember what I just told you, don't panic. I smiled, pretending that I didn't know Naruto. "Oh excuse me?"
"Oh sorry... I thought you were someone else!"
PHEW!
That's twice when my cover was almost blown.
"Oh it's okay," I said. "So you know Hinata?"
"Yeah," Naruto said. Of course he knew me. We were in the same class once and I dreamed about being part of the same team as him. "She's a ninja just like me. We live in the same village."
"The hidden leaf village?" I giggled and twirled around. "Hinata told me all about you. She's quite a big fan of you."
"You're the Dawn that Hinata mentioned!" Naruto confirmed.
I wish I could just tell him that it was me, but I couldn't. Not with all these people around me. "You should come and have a dance with me at some point tonight."
"You're going dancing?" Naruto pointed at me with a gigantic white smile. "Is Hinata going to be there?"
"I don't think Hinata is going to be there," I replied. I grabbed Naruto's hand and dragged him towards me. "But I'm sure you'll meet some great people here." I twirled him around, expecting him to do the same to me. I giggled at him tumbling over to the floor. "The best ninja in the world can't dance?" I asked and pretended to gasp. "I'll teach you how to dance if you want to."
"You're dancing with me!" I heard Zoey scream. She kidnapped me by grabbed me around her waist and carried me around the floor.
"I'll talk to you later, Naruto!" I yelled.
"You need to stop flirting with other guys," Zoey whispered to me. "You're leaving yourself open to freaks like Naruto."
"Don't worry," I assured Zoey by throwing my arms at her. "My heart will always belong to you."
Zoey laughed and took my sweater off and tossed it at Naruto's face. There's three questions that everyone will be asking tonight. The first question will be who is Naruto? The second who is Hinata, and how does Naruto know him and how are they linked to Dawn? And finally the last question: Doesn't Dawn look breathtaking tonight?
My answer would be yes.
