"And Now the times are changin'

Look at everything that's come and gone

Sometimes when I play that old six-string

I think about ya and wonder what went wrong"

 

 

"Do I look okay?" Misty asked, referring to her minidress and high heels. She 
had let her hair down and put some makeup on. Dawn smiled.

"He'll love it." Dawn clapped her hands and Vaporeon jumped off the bed and 
followed the two girls down the hall. Dawn wore a jean miniskirt and a shirt, 
with some sandals.

The two girls turned down the stairs and Ash and Brock were in view. They stared 
in disbelief, both blushing as Misty and Dawn made it down the stairs.

"What?" Dawn asked, smiling, acting innocent. Neither of the boys answered.

"We know, we know, we're beautiful." Misty said, laughing. Ash and Brock barely 
nodded.

"Come on, we've got a party to go to." Dawn said, watching Pikachu (who was 
wearing a coconut bra, hula skirt, flowery bracelets and a lei) who jumped down 
and walked with Vaporeon.

The four teens walked down the beach towards the pier, listening to the loud 
music. They breathed in the salty air from the seabreeze and saw people dancing 
and talking on the pier. Some people were walking down the beach and other kids 
were having fun diving off the pier.

"A big ferry's going to pull up in about an hour. We can go split up and do our 
own thing, but Brock, I need to talk to you. So you two kiddies go have fun." 
Dawn grabbed Brock's arm and held him back while Ash and Misty walked towards 
the pier.

"You remember how we were going to set them up on a blind date?" Dawn asked as 
Brock stared at her, confused. He looked surprised.

"Oh No! I completely forgot, what were we doing again?" He asked sarcastically. 
Dawn shook her head and sighed, pushing him lightly with one hand.

"Smart-ass." She laughed a little. "As of tonight, we can tell them that they 
have a date coming up. Remember, tell him to keep it a secret cuz Misty'll get 
jealous." Brock nodded.

"Okay. So I just say one of your friends wants to go out with him?"

"Yeah. What's today- Sunday? So we have four days, not including today. We have 
time. C'mon, let's go have some fun." Dawn led him up the pier, and through the 
crowd of people dancing.

For the next hour, The four of them were all dancing, talking, and just having a 
good time. Before they knew it, the ferry pulled up and people were boarding on.

On the ferry, they played music outside, where everyone danced. Dawn was 
reunited with a few more friends like Seth, who used to be one of her best 
friends. Dawn was talking to him at the front of the boat around 8:30, when 
Misty came up.

"Hey Misty. Misty, Seth. Seth, Misty" Dawn introduced the two. Seth had brown 
hair with a few blonde streaks and blue eyes. He was tan from living on the 
island, and he was wearing a visor.

"Aloha, sup?" He asked, nodding halfway. Misty blushed and Dawn started to feel 
a little nervous. What about Ash? Almost every girl on the island fought over 
Seth.

"Nothin' Much. I'm new here..." The rest of the conversation drifted out of 
earshot from Dawn, who noticed that Brock was watching from the side of the 
boat. Dawn interrupted Misty, saying she had to leave for a few minutes. Dawn 
left Misty and Seth there, talking as she made her way towards Brock.

"Who's that?" Brock asked, nodding towards Seth. Dawn glanced at the two, who 
were still talking. Seth said something and the two started to dance to some 
quick Jamaican music.

"Seth...I'm getting worried..."

"He can't cut into our plans." Brock said, looking around to make sure Ash 
wasn't standing by. "Make sure her and Seth don't get too close."

Dawn stared at him, then nodded as she leaned against the railing. Vaporeon and 
Pikachu were near Seth and Misty, dancing.

"I'll try. But where's Ash?" Dawn scanned the crowd. "I'll go look for him." And 
with that she went walking across the ferry. Brock sighed and shook his head, 
starting to look for Ash too. He eventually found Ash, sitting down staring at 
his drink. Brock walked over and sat next to him.

"What's up?"

"Did you see Misty dancing with that guy?" Ash asked, obviously heart-broken.

"Yeah, but... maybe Misty's just...dancing. It doesn't mean anything." Brock 
tried to persuade him. Ash just sighed and leaned against the railing as he 
looked onto the water. Brock stood up and stood next to him. "You won't lose 
her, I promise." Brock just hoped this was true. Ash said nothing as Brock left 
again.

"How can she do that to me?" Ash whispered to himself.
