Pokedex Entry #25

[noneed_2worry]

[Dawn's still feeling pretty awkward from a certain conversation that took place over the weekend, so she's doing the sensible thing - completely avoiding anything that might make her think about it.  Early Monday morning before school, a call goes out to the town, complete with her best fake sick noises.]

"Uh... h-hi, everyone.  It's Dawn.  [

Dawn?

[noneed_2worry]

Hi, Sakutaro.

[glompedbystakes]

Is Dawn really okay?

[noneed_2worry]

[There's silence for a moment. She considers keeping up the routine with him, but eventually her conscience wins out. Dawn really doesn't want to lie to Sakutaro.]

"Actually... I'm not sick. I'm just confused and depressed."

[glompedbystakes]

Why? Does Dawn want help?

[noneed_2worry]

I don't know if it's something you can help with, unfortunately.

[glompedbystakes]

Uryu...

What CAN Sakutaro do?

[noneed_2worry]

I didn't mean it like that! I'm sorry...

...Can you come over?

[glompedbystakes]

Coming over now!

[noneed_2worry]

[Dawn waits for him in the downstairs living room, still in her PJs.]

[glompedbystakes]

[Moments later, he'll be opening the front door...]

Uryu!

[noneed_2worry]

[Sakutaro gets a BIG HUG, because Dawn's upset and hasn't seen him in what seems like a long time.]

"It's good to see you again, Sakutaro."

[glompedbystakes]

Good to see Dawn!

[big hug is returned!]

[noneed_2worry]

[Takes him by the hand and starts leading him upstairs to her room.]

"Here, follow me... I'll tell you what's wrong, but I don't want anyone else to hear us."

[glompedbystakes]

[following!]

Sakutaro won't tell anyone.

[noneed_2worry]

[Sits down on the bed, patting the space next to her.]

"So... I had a pretty awkward conversation with a friend of mine this weekend, and I don't know what to do."
