                 ◣ It simply wasn’t true, no, especially not this. He                      knew she was eventually coming back, but after                      so long it was like she wasn’t part of the living                      anymore. The person that had caused him so                      much grief alone, but yet so much love for life                      itself. His inspiration, his best friend, his past lover. ◥

                ◣ Just standing there. In the midst of the bustling                     crowds of the annual festival of Viridian City,                     simply gazing around with huge eyes. Impressed,                     Green knew— She always loved festivities.                     She always loved a good party. Talking to people,                     ordering pastries she hasn’t tried in a long,                     long time— He was entranced. He couldn’t move,                     couldn’t breathe nor blink. It was like a dream. ◥

               ◣ “Pinch me,” would the Gym Leader whisper under                    his breath and tunnel vision taking over most of the                    prize sight sense. It was like all the bright, colourful                    lights were suddenly just white. All the happy people                    were grey and black, the stands were like that of an                    old film. It was just her standing out amongst the rest,                    under the shining moon and starlight. That same blue                    hair and creamy complexion; Azure eyes and pink                    boots. It was Dawn. ◥

                ◣ Yet… She hadn’t realised he was just standing there,                     disbelievingly watching her every move. ◥

It'd been much too long since Dawn had been able to enjoy herself like this. Yes, Hoenn had been a great experience, - she competed in a lot of contests, met many new people, learned how to make pokeblocks, gained new contest moves and ideas - but it couldn't compare to a festival like this.

Everything, everyone, was so lively and happy, even at night. Her surroundings were light and cheerful, and she couldn't help but gain the same feelings that were felt around her. It was as if there were no problems, no reasons to be sad. She could stay forever in this city, absorbing the lighthearted atmosphere. Letting this feeling of kindness seep into her skin and settle deep into her mind.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing. You can't have kindness and happiness seep into your brain. According to Cynthia, without anger and sadness, there would be no balance.

... But the atmosphere around her felt fairly well-balanced. Did that mean there was someone who was unhappy? Someone upset, angry, or sad? Even at a festival, did they really find, somehow, that they could have a reason for melancholy?

Dawn brought her guard back to her. She stopped, and tried to feel the atmosphere again. Cheerful, energetic, friendly... and nostalgic.

Ah. Some old memories may not be as good as the current moment being liven in now. Some people could very well be having a flashback -- reliving a time in their life that may have not been so happy.

                  ...

                       Am I honestly trying to fool myself this badly?

Just as that day was brought back to her mind - just as she was about to relive that day - she turned around

                                 and she had been fooled.

                                              That couldn't possibly be Green.

                                                                                   There was no way.

                                             "....."

Hugs for the best friend! 

"I missed you too! How was your trip?"

"It was a lot of fun! We -" implying her pokemon, of course "- picked up on a lot of great contest appeals and strategies! We met a lot of new trainers, and everyone was really nice and helpful! But it was really tiring, and I'm just really glad to be back home."
