Dawn hesitantly took a step, onto the train, but she stopped in her tracks, as soon as she heard a voice.
"Dawn! Wait up!" As turned around to see Ash and friends racing after her. "No, no you guys can't do this!" Dawn shook her head, in a panic. "We're not letting you do this alone!" May admitted.
"This is dangerous, I don't want any of you getting hurt." Dawn retaliated. "Just like we don't want you to get hurt." Ash admitted, stopping as he now stood in front her. "Dawn, if you're going back there, we're coming with you." He said, sternly. Dawn blinked in surprise, realising they'd figured out where she was going.
"I can't.. I can't let this happen." Dawn shook her head, tearing up slightly. She didn't want to put any of her friends in harms way. "Dawn, please." May began, grabbing her hand with her own. "We can't lose you too, not again. You have to let us come with you, please." She begged.
Dawn sighed, hesitantly moving aside so her friends could board the train with her. They all entered the train, and moved to sit down in one of the carriages.
Ash sat down beside Dawn, and turn to look at her, "Are you alright?" He asked softly, seeing as though she looked pale and distressed. "No.. I left this house with the intention of never seeing his face again." Dawn admitted, hesitantly. "But if I don't go back and make sure that Misty isn't there.. I'll never be able to rest." She concluded.
"Everything is going to be fine." Ash said, placing his hand on hers, causing her to jump in shock a little. "There's no need to worry." He admitted teasingly, looking into her eyes. Dawn smiled, and nodded, though in her head her thoughts were, "Big need to worry, big need to worry!!!"
Serena watched the pair, in disgust and she dug her nails into her thighs, where she'd rested her hands. Clemont noticed this, and gave her a sympathetic look, before he stood up and walked over to Ash.
"Ash, can we talk for a moment, please?" He asked. "Sure man." Ash smiled, standing up as the pair exited the carriage. "What's up?" Ash asked, now that they were alone. "What's the deal with you and Dawn? Why are you acting this way towards her when you're dating Serena?" Clemont asked, sounding mad.
"Woah, where did all of this come from.." Ash sweatdropped. "Ever since Dawn has been back in your life, Serena has been telling me how worried she is that you might be in love with Dawn or doing things with her behind her back.. I've been sticking up for you everytime, telling her that you two are only friends.. just to find out that you two have been locking lips when Serena isn't around." He admitted.
Ash sighed, feeling guilty. "Clemont.. I'm in love with both Dawn and Serena." He confessed. The blonde blinked in surprise, "Really?!" Ash then nodded, "I don't know what to do about it, but for now I want to support Dawn as we're going to enter the home, that she was abused in for months." Ash admitted.
"I'll talk to Serena once this is all over and see if we can sort things out." Ash admitted, "But for now Dawn needs our support." He added. Clemont nodded, "Alright." Respecting Ash's decision.
The pair went back to their carriage. Ash noticed his spot was taken by May, so he instead took an empty seat by Serena, who didn't look interested in talking to him. Clemont sat by Bonnie, who was laying on Shauna's shoulder, asleep.
"Bonnie won't be coming with us." Dawn admitted, sternly. "I'd prefer that." Clemont admitted, hoping she could wait at the Pokemon centre while they went to this house.
