The Song in My Heart

A/N: I am back baby! BAM! Now, for the thrilling sequal to VSC, muhahaha, and the end of my evilness....maybe. (: And I will warn you, this might get....graphic. Not really lemons, but definitly limes. And for those of you who don't know, which, I know, I didn't at first, lemons are sex scenes, and limes are just.....almost sex scenes.....yeah.... Epic description! Okay, okay, I'm gonna stop boring you, and continue with the story, unless you've already stopped ready and skipped to the good stuff. :)

"Five!"

"Four!"

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

"Happy New Year!"

The cheers rang around the room as it was offically the end of 2009, and the beginning of 2010. And, as for luck, Dawn and Paul kissed, Dawn wrapping her arms around Paul's neck, and Paul wrapping his arms around her waist. This was a very common, and very comfortable, postion for them, what better way to start out the new year? As they broke, Dawn grinned.

"Happy New Year!" she chirped, pecking him once more.

"Happy New Year. I love you." Paul smirked as he awaited the known reply. Dawn snorted.

"Don't look so smug! I could leave you at any moment. I might even make my New Year's resolution to get a new man!" Dawn sniffed disdainfully, before bursting into laughter.

"Sure, like you could live without your Beary." Paul taunted. Dawn's grin nodded as she stopped laughing.

"No!" she objected, shaking her head to get rid of the thought, "I love you too much." she amended.

"Much better." Paul agreed, but just as they were about to kiss once more, they were torn apart. Paul growled at hell's demon on earth.

"Calm down." Dawn scolded, and Paul sighed.

"What do you want Reggie? Don't you have to go bother Maylene?" Paul asked irriatibly, "Or anyone else here?" Paul added, glancing around the packed tight room of partiers. They were all at Reggie's house for one reason, 'Reggie's Legendary New Year's Party', which Reggie was quick to eagerly change to, 'The Shinji's Legendary New Year's Party.' It was his annual party and known throughout Sinnoh. Needless to say, anyone who was anyone was here, which were too many people for Paul's liking. One bonus that Paul was okay with, was the dress Dawn wore, a strapless burgendy one that went down to her knees, the only design on it being the giant bow on the hip. Then, that bonus was down played by the fact that Paul was also forced to dress up, luckily, only in a pair of black slacks and a burgendy button up shirt. And, not to mention a pair of very uncomfortable dress shoes. It was his brother's house! He shouldn't have to wear shoes! And they were probably staining the nice white and black scheme, well atleast the white. He was broken out of his angry thought reverie when Reggie finally anwsered.

"Woah! Can't I just wish my lil' bro and sis happy New Year?" he asked innocently. He had completly taken to calling Dawn his sister, considering she basically was. "By the way, Mom's looking for you." Reggie commented to Dawn, evening going so far as to call Regina, Dawn's Mom, as well. "Just remebered that." he chuckled. Reggie brightened though, "First! Sing a duet for the crowd!" he exclaimed. Paul scowled and shook his head. Dawn shrugged.

"No Reggie." Paul rejected. Reggie pouted, then after a few seconds smirked. When Reggie smirked it was one of the few times you could tell he and Paul were brothers.

"Hey Everybody!" he shouted to the crowd, and Dawn opened her mouth to object, already knowing what he was going to do. Paul did too, but just stiffened. "Who wants the winners of the Vielstone Singing Contest to put on a little performance!?" he crowed. Paul glared darkly at him, as everyone cheered.

"Reggie-" Paul started.

"No choice brother!" Reggie laughed. Dawn rolled her eyes.

"Paul, just make me a soundtrack, I'll sing." Dawn pushed him to the corner of the room, where a recorder was set up. He could turn it into a mini DJ booth. Dawn, with a boost from Reggie, stood on a coffee table, and Reggie handed her a microphone for the sound system.

"Hey Everybody! Happy New Year!" Dawn shouted. The cheers vaguely represented a 'Happy New Year!' in return. "So, I'm gonna be singing, right now!" Dawn floundered, before motioning Paul to start. (A/N: Til' the Dawn is the song)

Oh Oh
Oh Oh
Oh Oh
Oh Oh
Ohhhhhhh
Oh no no no

Paul helped her out a bit, making his voice sound a bit higher with the recorder.

(Out on the weekend
out on the weekend
Out on the weekend
Out on the weekend)

Let them in, get the lights, let party begin
Mix a little love, get the mood jumpin
From New York to Miami by ten
I think I'm ready to go
High, every time that we hit up our spot
See everyone in line, and they payin a lot
'Cept their payin for the night
cuz the drinks are fixed
But the music is free

Dawn got in the mood, and strutted on the small space of the table.

You want it, you got it
You need it, but you know you gotta have it boy
The music is free

(Out on the weekend, Out on the weekend, weekend)

This is for the girls comin' from NYC
I'm feelin' you like yous family
And everybody down from LA to DC
Rockin' to the same old school beats
This is for the kids in the clubs and the street
Talkin' bout you work three deity
Get on the dance floor where the music is free

The audience-like crowd danced along, they obviously liked the live entertainment.

Slip, gone until the dawn's gone with me
Gone until the dawn's gone with me
Where the music is free
Slip, gone until the dawn's gone with me

(Out on the weekend, on the weekend, weekend)

*spoken:
Now all my ladies,
Move it to the front,
show 'em what you got

The crowd actually split so that the ladies were dancing.

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, Oh ooh
Oh, Oh ooh
Fellas?
Oh, like that

The guys danced alone also.Paul joined in now.

And all my ladies say
And all the fellas say
Everybody say
Come dance with me, ohh
Dawn sang 'Oh' and Paul sang 'Me', and they both lowered their voices together.

And they say we all
Dance like this, we have the men in bed and off
Till there mornin', there we go lettin off
Tyler's droppin onto the table top
Once again, you can shake your thang and there aint no cops
This is for the girls comin' from NYC
I'm feelin' you like yous family
And everybody down from LA to DC
Rockin' to the same old school beats
This is for the kids in the clubs and the street
Talkin' bout you work three diety
Get on the dance floor where the music is free
Slip, gone until the dawn's gone with me
This is for the girls comin' from NYC
I'm feelin' you like yous family
And everybody down from LA to DC
Rockin' to the same old school beats
This is for the kids in the clubs and the street
Talkin' bout you work three deity
Get on the dance floor where the music is free
Slip, gone until the dawn's gone with me
Gone until the dawn's gone with me
Where the music is free
Slip, gone until the dawn's gone with me

(Out on the weekend, on the weekend, weekend)

They finished and Dawn did a peace sign to the guests as they cheered. Dawn jumped down and was caught by Paul, who magically appeared by her side..

"Okay, you should go now. Mom wants you." Reggie chuckled, pulling Dawn away from Paul

"Okay, I'll go find her now." Dawn pecked Paul on the cheek, "And calm down babe." she told him, before darting off into the crowd, years of being in a crowded backstage area of contests obviously coming into play. Paul sighed as he watched her go, Reggie sighing because of it.

"Gosh! I can't wait to see what you're like when she finally comes to her senses and dumps you!" Reggie teased, rubbing Paul's head as Paul glared at him. Reggie rolled his eyes as the glare didn't soften. "Okay, okay, I'm sorry, but I'm actually happy Mom wanted to see her. Now, mingle!" Reggie demanded, pushing him into the crowd, opposite of the direction Dawn went. Paul sighed once again as Reggie was lost from his view among the people. Turning around, he used his usual dark stealth that kept him from being seen, slipping in and out of the people, that is until one seemed to intentionally step in front of him before he could stop. Bumping into the person, Paul didn't look at them, too focused on leaving and passed them.

"Sorry, too crowded." he mumbled behind him. The person grabbed his arm.

"Now, come on, is that anyway to greet an old friend, nearly a brother?" the man grinned. Paul froze for a millisecond, before spinning around, ripping his arm from the man's grasp.

"James." he snarled at the smirking red head.
