What happens when Ash encounters an old friend? How will Serena react seeing the boy she knew since childhood act so friendly towards someone that's not her? Read on. :)
Decided I'd make a new story for all of you again and this time I'll only be c...
Ash, Dawn, Clemont, and Bonnie were all in the dining hall rewriting all of Dawn's ruined work. It was nearly a quarter til 3 and they only need one more thing to write about.
"Alright, that's the last of the papers." Ash smiled.
"Thanks but, there's still one more thing to write about.. A trainer." Dawn sighed as she looked down at her Poketch, "and I don't have enough time to interview everyone in the camp."
"Hey, I know! Write about Ash!" Bonnie smiled.
"Huh?" Dawn said surprised.
"Yeah, that's a great idea. You already know him so well. So, it shouldn't be that hard to write about him." Clemont said.
Dawn looked at Ash, "is that fine with you?"
Ash smiled and nodded his head at her, "hey, as long as you finish up your work for Poke Chic then it's fine with me!"
Dawn smiled at him, "thanks, Ash." She then took a piece of paper as she began writing down all the things about Ash and his journey so far.
Serena watched as the three of them laughed at Ash as he told them his stories about his journey from the start til now. She had her arms crossed and was gritting her teeth. She then started walking away to their cabins.
I can't stand her. She's definitely going to regret this.
~•~•~
"All done!" Dawn smiled as she held up the papers in her hands and showed all her friends. They smiled and congratulated her for finishing up the task. She looked down at her Poketch to see that it was 2:55pm. She had finished fives minutes before it was time to turn it in.
"Thanks to all of you, I was able to finish it!" She smiled. "So, you'll be able to get the first copies of the new Poke Chic next week!"
"Wow!! I can't wait!" Bonnie smiled.
"Me too. Thanks, Dawn." Clemont smiled.
"No problem! I'll be right back. I'm gonna go turn this in." She said as she ran towards the Pokémon center and handed Nurse Joy her papers. "Nurse Joy, would you please send this to Hearthome City for Hermione?"
Nurse Joy nodded her head at her and smiled as she took the papers from her and began sending them. "There we go. She should be receiving them soon!"
"Thanks so much!" Dawn smiled.
"Oh, that's right. You also have a package from Hermione." Nurse Joy smiled as she took out a box and handed it to Dawn.
"Thank you again." Dawn smiled as she ran back to the dining hall to meet with her friends. She set the box down on the table as her friends all stared in curiosity. Ash was the first to ask, "hey, Dawn. What's that?" Dawn shrugged her shoulders at him. Before she could open the package, Serena came into the dining hall and sat beside Ash as she held onto his arm and laid her head on him. Ash felt himself tense up as he sighed.
Clemont and Bonnie glared at her while Dawn told them to calm down. She then continued opening the package to reveal a beautiful white dress with a note. She took out the note and read it:
Dawn,
I recently found this unfinished dress design by you in our department and couldn't help but finish it for you. I hope that it is to your liking and that it helps you shine in Showcases along with your Pokémon!
H.
Dawn smiled as she put the note away in the box and took out her new dress.
"Go put it on so we can see!" Bonnie smiled.
Dawn smiled, "okay." She then ran to one of the washrooms in the dining hall as she began to change into her dress.
Clemont looked back at Serena, "so, Serena, where's your Showcase dress?"
"I- uh.. my mom is sending me one over." She lied. "And I'm sure it'll much better than her plain white dress."
He rolled his eyes at her as he turned his head away from her. Ash sighed as he felt Serena move closer to him to the point there was no space left between them. "So, Ash, how about another day together?"
"Um.. maybe— wow.."
Serena looked at him confused and looked where he was looking at. Her eyes widened as she saw Dawn come out with her new dress on, attracting a whole lot of attention from the dining hall — mostly the guys.

The dress was plain and simple, but it had really captured Dawn's beauty. It matched perfectly well with her starlight hair, leaving almost everyone in a trance.
"Dawn, you look so pretty!" Bonnie smiled.
"Thank you." Dawn smiled as she held on to the sides of the dress and did a little twirl.
A group of boys had gathered around her as they began complimenting her and admiring her. She chuckled nervously as she tried to get out of it and go back with her friends. But, they had all surrounded her and there was no way for her to get out.
"Dawn!" Clemont and Bonnie shouted.
Serena scoffed, "what an attention seeker. She even had to put on a dress just to get everyone's attention."
Ash clenched his fists as he stared at the crowd surrounding Dawn. He then got up from the table as he went towards them and pushed each of them out of the way until he reached her. He then grabbed her hand as he put her behind him — as if protecting her from them.
"Don't you dare touch her! Get away from her!" Ash shouted as he stared down each and everyone of the guys. They all shivered in fear as they walked away.
Dawn was speechless. She didn't know what to say to Ash. She's never seen him so protective over someone before — especially over her.
Maybe it's because I'm just a close friend.. practically like a sister.. She thought as she furrowed her eyebrows and stared down at the ground sadly.
"Dawn, are you okay?" Ash asked.
She looked up at him again, "Yeah. I'm just.. gonna go change." She said as she began walking towards the washroom with Bonnie following behind her. Ash watched as Dawn made her way to the washroom and sighed as he placed a hand over his chest.
What is this feeling?
Sorry for the lame and late chapter! I've been busy. I'll try to update as soon as possible. :)
