"Dawn?!" I say in shock. A girl with dark blue hair was standing. Yes, it's Dawn. One of my best friends in my childhood. She is a girl full of confidence. And due to this special ability, she is also known as the 'explosive'.

"Hello there Ash!" She said in joy. I am really confused right now. What shall I do, greet her, scream at her, or what? Just thinking of it, she came to me and gave her hand. I grabbed her hand and stood up.

"So, hello again Ash." She says again.

"Um, hi Dawn?" I reply with a confused tone. She makes a smile and held a brief hug. She continued," long time Ash. I missed you."

"I missed you too Dawn. So, came here for the reunion?" I ask.

"Yeah, professor Oak called me so I came. So, you're alone?" She asks.

"No, Gary and Calem are also here with me. Clemont is also but, he's in the hotel." I reply.

"Wait, Gary is here? Where is he?" She asks with big lighted face. Wait, I forgot to tell you that Dawn and Gary always had feelings towards each other, but failed tell it. I hope they would be a couple now.

"Well, he will be coming in a while. Look, there he comes." I reply and points towards the backside of Dawn. She turns around and saw Gary and Calem approaching. Wait, does Gary have a stamp of a palm across his face?

"Hi Calem and... Gary." She says and lowers her voice in the end. Wow, power of love, I guess. Turning towards Gary, he seems to be just speechless, and why he has a hand printed on his cheeks?

"Hi Dawn. It's so nice to meet you after so long." Calem replied, extending his hand towards Dawn for a handshake, but she didn't respond. Is she staring at Gary? I turn myself towards Gary and he is still standing dumbfounded. Wait, he is staring towards Dawn. OH MY GOD, this is... what?

"Do you smell some romantic fragrance around here?" Calem whispers to me.

"Yeah, truly. It's weird here." I reply.

"Let me break it." Calem continues," ahem, ahem."

He tries to make an artificial cough, but they still continue to stare each other.

"AHEM! AHEM!" he coughs again, but this time, it was way loud. Dawn and Gary finally broke out of their thoughts and then started blushing, heavily.

"So, coming to the main point, why does Gary has a hand printed on his cheek?" I ask, to which Gary sweat drops and Calem sighs.

"Long story short, Gary planned to prank the police guy by disturbing him from behind; I stayed behind because I didn't want to be a part of it. While Gary was walking towards the police man back, go knows how, but he slipped and started falling. To prevent himself from falling, he tried to grab the police man, but ended up slapping him on his cheek and spilling the hotdog and its sauce on the police uniform, which he was eating. So in the conclusion, Gary accidently slapped the police guy and ended up falling on the ground. And then, what happened has been seen by you." Calem replied.

"Aww, Gary it's alright. Here let me help you." Dawn says and moves towards Gary. She then did something which took everyone's face off. She leaned and placed a gentle kiss on Gary's cheek. Man, why would anyone do this in public? One thing is sure, Gary must be shouting inside. He is now just a red tomato.

After an hour of talking, we including Dawn went to my room. While talking, Calem asked me if I and he could have a branded whiskey with him on the rooftop of the hotel, to which I agreed. Who will reject an offer like this? The next thing I remember is that I and Calem were on the roof top, having the 30th peg of whiskey. Man, the whiskey was strong. I am really now high. Same as Calem.

We are just sitting and watching the night view of Seattle. Finally, Calem broke the silence.

"Hey ketchup." He says, with a drunken man tone.

"Yes?" I reply with same tone.

"You know what, I am actually in love." He replies. Wait, he's in love. Man, that's my boy.

"Really Camel? Who's that girl, or guy?" I reply.

"Oh, just shut up ketchup. It's a girl, and it will be a surprise for all of you." He replies.

"Well now, let me tell you something. I am also in LOVE!" I say, highlighting my last word.

"Oh wow Ash! That's my boy." He continues." Hey Ash, promise me that you will be supportive to me throughout my life, and never betray me. And promise me that you will help me to get my girl."

"Ok Calem, I promise you."
