To Be Or Not To Be

Chapter 1- Romance on the Harbour

Its been six long years since Ash had last been to his home region of Kanto but today he was going to return to his long awaited home.

It was a beautiful summers day in the land of Kanto, the sun shining brightly causing everything to gleam in the sunlight, the forests were teaming with life, the cities and towns full of life and the ocean was sparkling.

The pier was full of activity as the ship harboured. Families and friends waited in eager anticipation as their loved ones returned. Amongst the crowd of passengers moving of the ship were the familiar Ash, Dawn and Brock who were all eager to get off the boat.

Once on the pier the three friends moved along the Pewter city harbour to find a nice little bench over looking the ocean. "Aah its good to be back!" Brock smiled and jumped as the thought of seeing his family again flashed through his mind.

"Ye I can't wait to get back to Pallet and see all my Pokemon." Ash slumped onto the bench taking in a breath of fresh air. "Wow I can't believe its been six years since we were in Kanto, it feels so strange to back here.

"I know what you mean, I haven't been in my home town for ages and now I'm sitting on the good old bench me and my friends used to sit on when we were children." Brock swayed into a daydream state leaving Ash and Dawn alone together.

"So, Dawn, what you think of Kanto so far?" Ash turned his head to face the girl next to him waiting for her answer.

"Its beautiful, the most beautiful place I've been to yet, I can't wait to see your town Ash" Dawn smiled at Ash. "Wow"

"What wrong Dawn?

"I can't believe how handsome you look in the sunlight, I've never seen you like that." Dawn smiled at Ash in a way he was not used to. It was kind of like how a girlfriend would smile at their boyfriend, or maybe that's what she wants.

"Thanks Dawn"

"No I really mean it Ash, your really handsome." Ash turned bright red at the compliment. He was stuck in a dream like trance looking deeply into Dawn's beautiful cerulean eyes. Dawn noticed Ash looking at her and she also turned bright red. "Wow, maybe I should tell him how I feel about him, if not I might lose him and won't ever forgive myself for missing this chance to be with the man I love.

Ash noticed that Dawn was in deep thought and he wanted to find out what she was thinking so hard about. "I see your in deep thought, don't think me rude or anything but could you tell me what you were thinking of."

Dawn heard Ash speaking to her and she shook herself out of her thoughts and returned to the real world. "sorry, what did you say again?"

"I was just curious on what you were thinking so hard about." Dawn looked back a the man that she loved.

"Can i hide my feelings for him any more. No. I must tell him how I feel." She finally answered Ash after a minute or two. "Alright Ash I will tell you, but I want to tell you in private, so would you like to go for a walk along the harbour with me.?"

"I would love to walk with you Dawn." Dawn jumped to her feet and stood in front of Ash and dragged him off his seat. After a long thirty minute walk along the harbour Dawn decided it was time to tell Ash how she felt. They found a nearby bench and sat down. Dawn stared into Ash's eyes as he tried to figure out what she wanted to tell him but he couldn't think of anything, he was just going to have to wait to find out.

Dawn gently placed her hand on Ash's hand and shuffled closer to Ash. Ash was shocked at this move that Dawn was pulling, but deep down, he enjoyed it and so he didn't complain and found himself shuffling closer to Dawn. "So what do you want to tell me Dawn."

Dawn didn't say anything for a few minutes but after a long pause she finally came up ith a good way to tell him her feelings for him. Dawn edged closer to Ash and her hand rested on his. "Ash, I want to tell you something that I've been wanting to tell you for awhile now but I've always been to frightened to ask you."

Ash looked puzzled. "You can tell me anything Dawn."

"I know, and that's what I like about you…………Ash I-I-I love you!" Ash tensed up as she spoke the words he's been so eager to hear for such a long time.

"You love me?"

"Ye, ever since I met up I knew you were my one true love and I can't imagine my life without you."

"I can't believe this is happening." Dawn was just waiting for the rejection but it never came. "I've waited so long for you to say them words." Dawns eyes widened as she listened to what her love was saying. "I love you Dawn" Dawn nearly fainted as Ash spoke those words. "And I want to show you how much I love you." Ash moved in closer to Dawn and gently placed his hands around her waist. Dawn was in heaven as she knew what he was going to do. They were going to share their first ever kiss. Ash slowly leaned over, Dawns lips gently brushed against Ash's and finally their lips touched for the very first time. Their kiss was passionate as all the years of love were being spilled out all at once. The kiss lasted for ever and Dawn never wanted it to end. Her dreams were coming true.

Eventually they had to break part as their lungs had to take in air. Dawn gently rested her head on Ash's muscular shoulder and she closed her eyes just dreaming about that kiss again. Ash looked down at the girl that he loved, happy that he had finally confessed his love and found out that she loved him too. He was just so happy to hold her in his arms. As the couple embraced and kissed some more, in the bushes , stood Brock and pikachu staring as Ash and Dawn passionately kissed. "Its about god dam time they finally confessed their love. Pikachu simply nodded his head as he continued to stare with joy at his master with the girl of his dreams.
