Enchantment Lifted

Part Two

In a couple of hours, in the newly restored west wing, Dawn was dressed in a long light green dress with long sleeves, trying to appear as modest as she could. Her hair was pinned up by three yellow hair clips; two in the front and one in the back. On her feet were simple mint green flats with straps around the ankles.

Ash came up beside her, dressed in his normal clothes that he wore during his Sinnoh journey. "You okay?" He asked her.

"I'm terrified, Ash." Dawn admitted. "What if she doesn't forgive me? I wouldn't blame her for it, though."

Ash gently wrapped an arm over her shoulders. "Hey, remember what I told you earlier? If the others and even my mother forgave you, then I think your sister will, too. Actually, I don't think so. I know that she will!"

Dawn smiled at him. "Where does that kind of faith come from?" She asked.

Ash just smirked. "Comes with the description of being an exceptionally hopeful person."

"And optimistic?" Dawn asked, a little glint in her eyes.

"I was actually kind of hoping that you would say something else." He answered.

Dawn's cheeks slightly turned pink. "I think I know the word that you wanted to hear." She said, a teasing grin on her face. "But I'll save it for later."

Ash fondly rolled his eyes. "Fair enough." He said, placing a hand on the side of her face. "I'll just settle with this for now."

He leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on her lips. Dawn returned it happily. She could definitely get used to this. His kisses were addictive and made her heart skip, and his lips were incredibly soft. She was also seeing that his kisses helped to calm her down. But soon, she had to break away for air. Her cheeks were now a brighter pink as she leaned into his chest and he wrapped his arms around her waist.

But their little moment had to come to an end when there was a knock on the door. Leona came in and Pikachu bounded inside and took his spot on Ash's shoulder.

"Miss, your sister has arrived." She said.

Dawn gently removed herself from Ash's hold. "Leona, please just call me Dawn now. We are old friends, after all. And thank you. Please escort me."

"Of course, Dawn." Leona held the door open as Dawn took a deep breath and walked out. Before she was out of sight, she glanced back at Ash, who gave her a reassuring grin and a thumbs-up.

"I'll be down later." He said.

She smiled at him and left the room, Leona following her. Once they were gone, Ash turned to Pikachu. "Did you manage to find something?" He asked his number one partner. Pikachu nodded and then they also left the wing.

Kenny arrived at his post right by the stairs. Salvia's butler then came beside the open doors. "Presenting Her Royal Highness, Princess Salvia!" He announced.

The main doors then opened to reveal Salvia, followed by Freesia. Ash had quietly snuck into the main hallway, but didn't make himself known yet. Right now, Dawn needed to clear things up with her sister.

She looked just like Dawn, but she still wore that same light blue dress, her cobalt blue hair up in a bun with a soft blue headband, and wore white gloves, matching shoes, and the large ribbon choker on her neck.
