You and I in a little toy shop Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got ... Now she stood in front of the doors that would lead to her future and David wasn't beside her at all. It had started in the car ride, her parents talked, the music played and over all this the voices were yelling at her. Hurting her. David could see the pain on her face but said nothing. He knew she didn't take her pills, he knew why she was in pain. Dawn had tried to whisper to them, trying to tell them to stop, so her parents could not hear. It didn't work.
... The voices were so excited at least one, the others yelled at her telling her this was worthless. "Stop it!" She cried, loud enough so her parents heard. David, being older by seconds, grabbed Dawn and had acted like he hurt her. Dawn tried to wiggle away, he didn't let go. He got in trouble. His crazy sister did not.
... Now she was alone. Dawn had to face the door and everything inside by herself. Quickly she opened it and slipped inside, hopping her head could stay quiet. Dawn let out a small smile as she stood in the light of the Laboratory. "Hello?" Dawn tried to ignore the way the walls and floors looked, she just tried to find a person so she could leave.
... If it wasn't for her friends David would be with her but, like always they had said they didn't want that to happen. Sorry, Dawnie, we didn't mean to hurt you or David. Even the ones who had been mad at her said they were sorry. "I forgive you..." Dawn smiled, how could she hate them? Set them free at the break of dawn 'Til one by one, they were gone.

Upon Dawn's arrival in the Lab, she was greeted rather quickly by a young woman wearing a white robe and a green garment underneath it. She was holding a clipboard in her other arm and a Pokéball in her other. She must have just so happened to be passing by while in the middle of something. "Oh, hi there." she said upon realizing the new girl had arrived inside of the Laboratory. "I'm guessing you're here for your first Pokémon?" she asked, sighing a little. This girl definitely had some bizarre timing, to come in just as she was about to finish up the last of her sorting job. The checklist on her clipboard was almost done...just a few more Pokéballs to shift around. "Well, I'm sorry to say that Mr. Winters is out at the moment." she continued, walking over to Dawn. "However, I'm capable enough to assist you. My name is Mia, and I'm an assistant here at the Lab." She shifted her clipboard into her other arm and smiled down at the girl before her, extending a hand to shake. "Please, do share what brings you here; I am a busy woman at the moment, and would like to return to my work when I can." Boy, she seemed a bit on the blunt side.

Back at base, bugs in the software Flash the message, Something's out there. ... Dawn looked at the women as she walked up, giving a small smile. "Hello." She tried not to sound overly excited. Taking the women's hand she gave it a nice, childish, shake. "I'm Dawn." She let go and slide her hand across her bangs then looked around the room now, trying to ignore the fact that David was not here.
... I don't need him, she told herself, I have my friends. Course you do, they all spoke at once in her mind and Dawn's closed her eyes tight, she is talking to you Dawnie. The mean white coat lady is talking to you.. She tried to tell them to shut up in her mind but they kept pointing it out. "Shut up." She mumbled. They stopped and she opened her eyes and looked at the women.
... Her eyes grew wider suddenly and she covered her mouth, "I.. I wasn't talking to you. I..." I hear voices in my head, she wanted to say. Instead she tried to act like she had not said anything at all. "Um, yeah, I am here for my first Pokemon. What kind of Pokemon do you have here?"
... Dawn gave a soft smile, trying to look as sweet as possible. Which she hoped would make the women hurry up and get a list, or something, that would make her quickly pick a Pokemon so she could hurry on her way. "You know, you might be lucky enough to see my brother here in a few days for maybe not. He got grounded, but he looks just like me, so if you do ever see him..." Dawn stood on her toes for a second before adding, "We are twins." Not that it would really thrill the women. Floating in the summer sky. 99 red balloons go by. Lyrics 99 Red Balloons

As Dawn explained her reason for being here, she withdrew her hand and smiled a bit, dismissing the 'shut up' as simply childish nerves. She asked what kind of Pokémon they had...had she not seen all of the advertisements they'd put up? Well, no matter. She was busy, but it's not like her job was going to take all day. She smiled at Dawn a bit and turned around. "Please, follow me, Dawn. Our Pokémon are playing right now, as we speak." With that, she led the new Trainer out into a large room, filled with a bunch of species of Pokémon. Charmander and Totodile tumbled around the ground for a little while, playing with each other. Treecko, Pachirisu, Growlithe and Electrike were playing some kind of game of tag. The Exeggcute and the Trapinch were kind of just sleeping in a corner as two different Shellos clung onto a Drifloon's string-like limbs. "These are all of the Pokémon the Lab has to offer you right now." she said with a gesture at the playing Pokémon. "Go ahead and take your pick. But please try to be quick about it." She looked down at her clipboard again, fingering the Pokéball in her other hand. She was just checking the list over for the umpteenth time to make sure she hadn't missed something....

99 red balloons. floating in the summer sky. ... Dawn let out a small grumble when Mia completely ignored the whole thing she said about her brother but, she shrugged and followed women as they headed into a large room. Dawn admired the way the building was set up, not that it was anything to really admire, it just made the short trip down the hall seem much faster. Dawn froze slightly at in the doorway.
... Her jaw dropped slowly and she let out a small smile, watching all of her choices play in front of her eyes. "Wow." She slowly stepped farther into the room, glancing at the Treekco and then Charmander. Admiring their looks but they didn't seem like the best choice. Dawn slowly turned her head to look at Mia, "Um..." Then she glanced back at the group of pokemon. Mia didn't seem like she wanted to wait and the way she spoke 'be quick about it' helped support her answer.
... Dawn scrunched up her face, trying to pick out one. Suddenly she knew, as her eyes slide across a little balloon creature with a little X where Dawn would of thought a mouth should be. Suddenly all the voices in her head screamed, THAT ONE! Dawn pointed to it slowly, "What is that once called?" Trying to give a soft smile. She looked back at the balloon pokemon, her eyes sparkled slightly.
... Dawn gave a soft nod as if to try to decide is that was the some she really wanted, sure the rest were adorable but this one looked perfect. "Yeah," She said, "I want it. I am sure." Slowly she turned around and looked at Mia, "If you see my brother don't ever let him take the same one as me, OK? We may be twins and I love him so much but, that would just be weird, ya know?" Panic bells, it's red alert. There's something here from somewhere else. Lyrics 99 Red Balloons

The woman smiled, handing over the pokeball enthusiastically. "Take it, it's yours! And I'll be sure not to give your brother a Drifloon. Promise~" she winked and handed over a bag of goodies to go along with the pokemon.

The war machine springs to life. Opens up one eager eye. ... Dawn's eyes sparkled slightly as she was handed her new Pokemon, as well as bag. "Thank you!" She smiled, glad the women was in a good mood as well, even if it was just because she was finally leaving. Dawn started to the door, to excited to wait for the women to lead her back. "Bye! Thank you!
