It was a dark, gray school day at Veilstone High when a certain purple-haired boy with a chartreuse-haired boy of the same age walk through the hallways looking for their lockers.
"Ugh. . . How are we ever going to find our lockers in this damn school?" The boy with purple hair complains.
"And our next class is in 10 minutes." The boy with chartreuse hair says sadly and they both see two girls their ages.
One with dark blue long flowing hair wearing diamond studded earrings and a beautiful pearl bracelet which matches her black tank top, pink mini-skirt and white beanie with a pink pokeball décor on it.
While the other has brown hair that curves a bit towards her neck and she wears a cute red bandana in her head that acts as a hair accessory which goes with her red shirt and white skirt that is long as her thighs.
"Holy crap. . . ." The boy with purple hair says while staring at the blue haired girl who blushes as their eyes meet.
The boy with chartreuse hair nudges his friend with his shoulder, "Yieee!" He says with a smirk on his face.
The purple-haired boy ignores his friend and walks up to the girls, "H-hi. . . ." The blue haired girl says turning slightly pink.
The boy acts as his normal emo self again, "Hey. . ." He says without expression and he puts his hands in his pockets.
The chartreuse-haired boy follows his friend and watches the brunette from the corner of his eye. Hmph. . . Paul always falls for rich bitches anyway. . .
Paul walks and talks with the pretty blue haired female, "Hey do you know where the lockers numbered 145 and 146 could be located?" He asks but doesn't stare at her since she was looking at him.
"Yeah. They're right next to May's locker and mine too." The girl says with a smile.
"Ok. . . Could you maybe show them to us?" Paul says finally looking at the girl his heart beating faster. She's beautiful. . . Wait. . . What am I thinking? I'm Paul Raymond Leonardo! Who does not fall in love with a rich, popular, drama queen like her!. . . . But yet. . . There's something about her that seems different. . . . .
"Hello?" The blue haired girl asks waving her hand in front of Paul's face.
"Oh. . . Sorry about that. . ." He says shaking his head trying to clear his mind.
"Well. . ." The girl says looking around and she sees long rows of lockers, "Here we are!" She says happily.
"Thanks." Paul says and he enters his locker combination then puts his stuff in.
"So what's your name?" The pretty blue haired girl asks leaning against her locker (which is coincidentally next to his).
"What is it to you?" He asks with a monotone voice and Paul looks at her with a expressionless face.
"I just wanna know." She says sounding a bit smart-Alecy.
Paul stares at her slightly surprised since most girls would be taken aback with things his said like that, "Well. . . . My name is Paul Leonardo." He says walking away.
"Oh. Nice name!" The girl says smiling and she follows him, "My name is Dawn Natalie Fedora."
Paul's mind spins around with questions but he keeps organized, "Is Johanna Fedora your mother?" He asks curiously.
"Yep." Dawn says nodding, "She's the owner of the Fedora brand." She says proudly.
"Wow. . . It must be great having all that popularity but I'd never want to be popular. . ." Paul says looking around.
"It's pretty rewarding though. Having all the latest fashions and accessories and if you keep hanging out with me and all my other friends you might end up popular even though you don't wanna be." Dawn says and they both enter Mr. Dicashio's classroom.
Paul looks for an empty seat but can't find any, "This sucks like crap. . . The only seat available is next to Dawn. . ." He murmurs to himself and as he passes through the middle aisle he hears some girls giggling.
"Paul! Come over here and meet my friends!" Dawn says cheerfully and she motions for him to come over.
Paul grunts and sits beside her, "What is it?" Paul asks turning around to join the conversation.
"Paul, meet Ash, Gary, Misty, Jimmy, Barry, May, Marina, Leaf and Drew." She says as she points to each of them while she says their names.
"Drew and I are close friends already but he's never introduced you or any of them to me." Paul says with a slight glare at Drew.
"Well you said you didn't need any more friends so I decided not to introduce them to you." Drew says looking a bit innocent.
"Anyway. . ." Misty says looking at all of them, "Let's continue our game of truth or dare. Paul?"
Paul looks at her, "What?" He asks.
"Wanna join us?" Misty asks.
"Whatever. . ." Paul says rolling his eyes a little.
"That's yes in Paul speak." Drew says glancing at Misty and Paul.
"Ok then. . . Leaf, truth or dare?" Misty asks.
"Ummm. . . Dare!" Leaf says smiling.
"Ok. . . I dare you to kiss Gary." Misty says with a smirk and their side of the room fills with Oooos.
"You said what?" Leaf says starting to panic.
"You heard her Leaf. Kiss Gary." May says smirking.
"F-f-fine. . . But you guys owe me!" Leaf says and she takes her hat off then kisses Gary while covering their mouths.
"Hey!" Ash says pointing at them, "You were cheating!" Ash raises his voice and everybody in the room turns to him, "Uh. . ." He says as his cheeks grow bright red from embarrassment.
"S-she wasn't ch-cheating. . . ." Gary says as he touches his lips from where Leaf had kissed him.
"And he ain't lying." Leaf says while crossing her arms and she lightly licks her lips.
Riiiiing!
The school bell rings and class starts.
A man with dark black hair wearing glasses and tall enters the room carrying books and what-not, "Hello class. Today you have half-day because of the play gonna be presented on the last week of school. You can just audition at the theater on dismissal time." Mr. Dicashio says as he drops the books on the table.
And next is lunch break which means no more school after this. . .but I'd love to be in a play! Dawn smiles but doesn't notice that Paul is staring at her.
She's. . . The love of my life. . . The princess of the school. . . And yet she doesn't seem like that at all. . . Paul rests his cheek on his hand.
"Blah blah blah blah. . . Every school has its perfection and flaws but there isn't a perfect school." Mr. Dicashio says but that's what had been processed in Dawn's mind.
Soooo true Sir. . . I'm the one who's the imperfection in this school. . . I broke nearly every boy's heart in this god-forsaken school. . . Dawn grunts and sighs then buries her face in her arms as she crosses them across her table.
Riiiing!
Paul hears the school bell ring and it snaps his mind back into reality, "W-wha-?" Paul says and straightens up.
"Class dismissed!" Mr. Dicashio announces and grabs his books then walks out of the room leaving the class to fix up after themselves.
"Finally! I never thought that fool of a teacher would actually be tricked into thinking that its early dismissal today." Paul says and snickers then Dawn walks over to him hearing the last few words he said.
"Wait. . . Y-you did what?" Dawn says in total shock.
"Well I told Mr. Dicashio that there's a play. . . Only problem is that there isn't. . ." Paul says guiltily and he scratches the back of his head, "Hehehe. . . I'm dumb enough not to think the whole plan out."
Dawn glares at him, "Your such a dumbass!" She says defiantly and then Dawn crosses her arms across her chest and looks away, "There is a play! It's entitled the Love Story of Fedaura and Leo and the audition is now!" She snorts and glares at Paul.
"What did you call me you bitch?" Paul says his voice drawing the attention of their friends.
"Paul there's no need to fight." Ash says and he stands between Dawn and Paul.
"She called me a dumbass!" Paul shouts at Ash and throws a notebook at Dawn.
"Ouch!" Dawn shouts covering her cheek and all her friends rush over to her side.
"Dawn? Are you ok?" Marina asks putting her hand on Dawn's shoulder.
Dawn doesn't reply and she sniffles taking her hand away to reveal a cut which is bleeding a bit, "P-Paul!" She screams turning to him and Marina back away, "Look at what you did to me!" She shouts tears running down her cheeks quickly and the salt from the tears make the wound burn like hell but she ignores it.
". . ." Paul says nothing but he turns away to come back carrying a damp towel, bandage and betadine, "Here. If it makes you feel any better." Paul gives the things the Dawn, "We don't want you to look like a mess when you get the part of Fedaura."
Dawn sniffles and looks up at Paul, "T-thanks." Dawn says her voice crackling and she cleans the cut and applies the betadine and bandage. H-he really does care about me. . . I can't believe it. . . Dawn smiles and touches her wound then hugs Paul without thinking, "Thank a ton. . . You saved my debut as an actress . . ." She says and buries her face in Paul's chest.
"U-uh. . ." Paul puts his arms to his sides and everybody smirks and starts singing "Dawn and Paul sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Paul blushes apple red, "Shut up! I'm just being nice for the bad thing I did!" Paul shouts and Dawn stops hugging him.
"Yeah! I'm with Paul!" Dawn shouts and puts her hands on her hips.
"Ohhhh! They're together now!" Misty gasps mischievously and everybody laughs hard except for Dawn and Paul (who are blushing really hard now).
"No we aren't!" Dawn and Paul scream at the same time and they both gasp and look at each other.
"Denial!" Jimmy shouts and points to them.
"Whatever! Paul and I are gonna audition for the school play and we aren't going to be laughed at after we receive high grades for at least trying to get in!" Dawn shouts and grabs Paul's hand then storms off into the direction of the theater.
"Look who's the next class couple now!" Drew shouts laughing and they all burst into laughter.
~xoxo~
"Grrrr. . . Those perverted freaks-of-friends!" Paul says grunting under his breath and Dawn let's go of his hand.
"Sorry about that. . . Anyway. . . Who are you gonna audition as?" Dawn says looking down.
". . . Leo. . . How 'bout you?" Paul says looking at Dawn.
"Fedaura of course!" Dawn says a little surprised with the question.
Paul nods but his mind whirrs with thoughts. I have to be good. . . I heard that Leo kisses Fedaura in one part. . . Paul takes a deep breath and smirks.
"Hm?" Dawn looks at Paul and they enter the theater.
"Nothing. . ." Paul says and he shakes his head and he notices something, "There's not much people here. . ." Paul says and he looks around, "Oh great. . . 'Mr. I think I'm so popular and handsome that all the girls would like me' is here. . ."
"You mean Charles Richard?" Dawn asks looking at Paul then Charles.
"No one else. . . He's my biggest rival yet. . . Now he's my rival for the part of Leo. . ." Paul says almost growling at the thought.
"How did you find out?" Dawn asks curiously.
"Well him and I were battling during Advanced Battling Class and he was my partner so we were chatting a bit while battling and he boasted that he's auditioning for the part of Leo." Paul says and Charles walk over to them.
"Oh lookie lookie who's here!" Charles says mockingly.
"There's no time for games Charles. This is serious business." Paul says his voice hard.
"Mhm. . . So what's your proposal?" Charles asks growing very interested in the conversation.
"You must be dumber than a psyduck!" Paul shouts and walks over to the student activity coordinator, Ms. Ramona, "Ms. Ramona. I'd like to audition for the role of Leo in the school play." Paul says slapping his hand down on her table.
"O-ok." Ms. Ramona gives Paul the script and he goes on stage.
Paul clears his throat with a few coughs and he says with true feelings, "Fedaura! My one true love. . . You are the moon, the one who brightens up the sad, lonely nights in my life. . . Marry me and we shall finally become one. . ."
"Ms. Ramona! I'm auditioning for the part of Fedaura!" Dawn shouts and she runs over to her desk and Ms. Ramona gives Dawn the script and she runs on stage.
Dawn gulps, "Leo. . . I never knew you would have this much love that would melt your cold, dark heart. I've always thought you were just another boy who loves me for my money. . . I thought wrong. . ." Dawn says her eyes slightly shimmering in the lights of the stage.
Paul steps forward and holds Dawn's hand and his heart flutters from the touch, "Kiss me now. . . Or forever shall we stay parted in our different lives. . ." Paul says his feelings being let out on the words.
Dawn looks into Paul's eyes, "B-but my father will never allow a. . . street man like you to even touch me. . ." She says and Paul's eyes burn with feelings.
"Who cares about that father of yours. . . He might understand. . . Your mother, the queen, started out as a pauper, how do I know this? It is a very, very long story that only god can recall." Paul says and Dawn and their friends enter the theater but stay very quiet.
"Your right. . . I do love you Leonardo. . ." Dawn says slightly smiling and Paul glances at the script then kneels down and Ms. Ramona gives him a small, red box then Paul shows it to Dawn and says, "Do you, Fedaura Daianne Dawn, marry me?" Paul opens the box and it reveals a small, real diamond ring. I-is this a fairytale?
Dawn gasps then quickly whispers, "Why are you giving me a real ring?" Dawn stares at the glimmering ring.
"I just opened it but I thought inside would be some kind of fake thing!" Paul whispers back, "J-just get on with the act!" Paul says noticing that their friends are watching and some of the girls have teary-eyes. W-we are a perfect couple. . .
Dawn takes a deep breath then stares into Paul's eyes, "I do. . ." Dawn says her feelings making her voice crack.
Paul's eyes fill up with tears and he hugs her, "Fedaura. . . I shall tell your father right away that he will pick out a beautiful white dress for our wedding soon." Paul says and Ms. Ramona bursts into tears.
"T-this shall be the best play ever!" Ms. Ramona shouts and everyone in the theater claps their hands, "We have found our Leonardo and Fedaura!" She announces standing up from her seat in the front.
Paul stops hugging Dawn and they both bow, "This is my dream! To be in a major role of the school play!" Dawn shouts ignoring their friends Yieees.
"Rehearsals shall start at lunch and sometimes we might have to pull you out of class to rehearse." Ms. Ramona says and the group of friends walk over to her.
"We would all love to have a part in the play Miss." Barry says and Dawn and Paul walk over to them.
"Thank you all!" Ms. Ramona hugs all of them, "Our play will be a great hit! Some might not have parts so they will be the stage crew but they shall still receive minor awards and pluses." She says and they all shout Woohoo!
"Hey guys! I heard that prom is the last day of school A.K.A. as The Dance of a Decade." May says and Drew looks at her.
"You all better be choosing who you want for your partner." Ms Ramona says and she lightly snickers then they all blush.
"Whatever. . ." Paul says rolling his eyes but his heart says something else. You know you want Dawn. . .Go get her!
"Maybe Paul and I will eat separated from you guys today. . ." Dawn says and they stare at her, "Say one word cabbage boy and I will kick your head." She says clenching her fist in front of him.
"Don't worry. . . We won't since we understand if you two are growing attracted to each other because of the play." Drew says smirking and Dawn leaps to tackle him but Paul holds her back.
"Take pity on that little boy. . . He doesn't deserve to be wasted your energy on and we have to sleep early for rehearsal tomorrow." Paul says glaring hard at Drew.
"I told you that he'd deny that he loves Dawn." Ash whispers to Marina.
"What did you say?" Paul says letting go of Dawn and she tackles Drew.
"Graaaa!" Dawn screams as she tackles Drew, "Your gonna regret what you said!" Dawn shouts and May grabs her wrist.
"Dawn!" May shouts her eyes growing with concern, "Don't hurt him!" May pulls her away from Drew and Dawn growls.
"Gee. . . This is like a movie. . ." Jimmy says offering some candy to Marina.
"Yup. . ." Marina says and she watches them while getting the candy from Jimmy but their hands touch and they both bluish deeply.
Barry watches all of them smirking and taking pictures without flash, "This will be great for the school newspaper!" He mumbles to himself looking back at the pictures.
~xoxo~
"Today class I shall pair you up with the opposite gender to make things different for once." Ms. Fair-weather says.
"She always does this for stupid projects. . ." Paul mumbles and he picks a piece of paper from the jar she passed around for the boys to pick.
Hmm. . . I wonder who Paul, Ash, Barry, Jimmy, Gary and Drew chose. . . Dawn watches the boys pick the papers and she taps her middle, ring and pointing finger on her table as she waits.
Paul closes his eyes for a bit and he daydreams of him and Dawn. . .
"Mr. Paul Leonardo!" Ms. Fair-weather shouts.
"Huh?" Paul snaps out of his thoughts and opens his eyes, "Sorry miss. . ." He says and the students laugh.
"Open your book and turn to chapter three of your psychic pokemon moves book." She instructs Paul.
Paul grunts then grabs his book from under the chair and he flips through the pages, "There." He says showing the chapter start, "Happy?"
"Now boys. . . Open your papers and go to your partners." Ms. Fair-weather says and the class starts the become noisy and more crowded.
Paul gulps then shuts his eyes tight close then he quickly opens it and Barry walks over, "Dude. . . You got Dawn. . ." Barry says and he gasps and he laughs hard, "It must be faith that brought this to be!" Barry mocks and everyone rushes over shouting questions.
Really?
Is it true that they're together but in secret?
This must be rigged!
Paul stands up and faces Barry and the others, "Shut the fuck up all you assholes!" Paul shouts and everybody falls silent.
"Paul. . . Everybody knows the number one rule in my class is not to say any swear words." Ms. Fair-weather reminds him and she walks over, "Now, I need to give you a Behavioral Report for disobeying school rules." She says and she takes out a B.R. from her bag then scribbles down things.
"Oh god. . ." Paul says slumping down on his seat again and he buries his face in his hands, "What will Reggie say. . .?" Paul murmurs to himself.
"Here it is." Ms. Fair-weather hands it over and Paul grabs it, "Now don't say anymore unless you want me to call your parents." She warns him.
"My parents are gone. . ." Paul says looking at Ms. Fair-weather.
"Then how do you go school?" She asks.
"I have an older brother who has a car but sometimes I walk here." He says and Ms. Fair-weather nods.
"Let us get back to our lesson shall we?" She asks and they pair up.
Paul sighs and he gets his pen, notebook and book then walks over to Dawn's place, "Let's get started. . ." He says and he sits down then looks at her. I know I should be ignoring them. . . But what they say is true. . . I do love Dawn but I can't bring myself to say it. . .
"For this project you will need one dark pokemon each but more than one is even better. If you have one, study it's behavior, diet and moves, but if you have two then compare the different things between the two pokemon. For the two pokemon it is better you have two of the same pokemon like a poochyena and another poochyena." Ms. Fair-weather explains and they nod.
"So what dark pokemon do you have?" Dawn asks Paul and she turns to him.
"Well. . . I have an umbreon, mightyena and absol." Paul says glancing at the pokeballs in his bag.
"Let's do the two pokemon 'cause I have an umbreon too." Dawn says smiling and Paul can't help but smile back.
"It is due next, next week on Tuesday!" Ms. Fair-weather announces and they class goes back to their proper places.
Riiing!
The school bell rings and everyone fixes up their stuff, "Meet me at the theater later for rehearsal and call the others too." Dawn says and she passes a small, neatly folded piece of paper.
I wonder what this is. . . Paul unfolds the paper and reads it:
Meet me at your place. . . Where do you live again? Tell me where you live later at practice and also just ignore everybody who thinks we're together ok?
Love, Dawn
Paul smiles at the thought of it but what made him surprised was the 'love' in the ending, "Why did she put that instead of 'from'?" Paul thinks out loud and he goes to the boys' bathroom to change.
Dawn comes out of the girls' bathroom wearing a long, golden dress with a cute shiny, yellow, big bow in the back with a couple of frills in the edges and the dress is poofy. She is wearing a pair of gold colored fishnet gloves and she replaces her gold clips in her hair with a sparkly yellow headband. Her shoes are cute yellow high-heels with a zipper in the back behind her heels.
Paul comes out of the boys' bathroom wearing a black tux with a black tie, top hat, black shoes and a brown-black cane. D-Dawn looks. . . Like a true princess. . .
Dawn smiles and walks over to Paul, "How do I look?" She asks twirling around and Dawn giggles.
"St-stunning. . ." Paul says staring at Dawn blinking a few times making sure it wasn't a fairytale.
Dawn giggles again and she holds Paul's hand then leads the half-stunned boy to the theater, "It's not my fault if we're late 'cause I had to drag you here." She says smiling and Ms. Ramona runs over to them.
"Finally you two are here!" Ms. Ramona says panting a bit but continues, "We were worried you had trouble getting here but here you both are!" She says and Ms. Ramona leads them to the side of the stage, "You two look wonderful especially you, Dawn and Paul, because you both are the two main characters."
"Thanks." Dawn says blushing and she remembers what Paul's expression looked like when he saw her.
Paul nods in approval and they stand-by in the sides, "Let's go. . . And start!" Ms. Ramona shouts and they start the play.
(Skipping time. . . by the way they are just practicing(in case you're wondering)
All the actors and actresses sit edge on their seats in the sides as they await the final kiss of Fedaura and Leonardo in the moonlight.
"Fedaura. . . I only wish of one last thing before the wedding at the cliff-side tomorrow. ." Paul says his eyes glimmering a bit.
"What is it my love?" Dawn asks her throat hurting from the 'anticipation'.
"To make a kiss that shall last until eternity. . ." Paul says and he strokes Dawn's cheek with true feelings.
Dawn blushes hard and she stares deep into Paul's eyes, "Of course. . . because that is what I have been whishing ever since we met at the park. . ." Dawn says her eyes growing teary.
Paul glances at Ms. Ramona who has been crying ever since the 'big part' started, "S-should Dawn and I kiss now?" Paul asks looking at Ms. Ramona and she nods then Paul's heart beats faster.
Dawn clutches Paul's free hand and they slowly close their eyes moving closer and closer until their lips touch and they quickly back away without making a real kiss yet.
Dawn gags and she looks at Paul, "This is absurd!" Dawn shouts looking extremely bewildered and everyone gasps then she hesitates then storms out of the theater.
Paul's jaws drop at the sight and sound of everything going around.
"She can't just walk out of this!" Ms. Ramona shouts and she stands up slamming her copy of the script on the table causing the other papers to fall and everyone gasps in shock for what happened to the two events.
"I-I'll go tell her later that she should be coming back tomorrow. . ." Paul says and he grabs his things and leaves, "Adios people!" Paul shouts before shutting the backdoor of the theater.
". . ." Barry stares at Paul leaving and so does everybody else.
~xoxo~
Ding-dong!
Paul hears the doorbell ring and he answers it to see Dawn carrying one pokeball, her book, notebook and a bag. I didn't expect her to come since she might be. . . I dunno. . .pissed or something. . .
Dawn looks at Paul as he opens the door, "I-I'm sorry for earlier at the theater and I shouldn't have done that. . ." Dawn says and she hugs him.
Paul looks at her, "It's ok. I told Ms. Ramona that you would be there tomorrow during lunch and dismissal." Paul says and he hugs her back.
Reggie walks down the stairs to see Dawn hugging Paul and he smiles, "Looks like my little bro found a girlfriend!" Reggie says and Dawn stops hugging Paul.
"She is not my girlfriend! She's just apologizing for something she did earlier!" Paul says his face turning slightly red form anger and embarrassment.
"Whatever. . . Step one: Denial. Check! Paul passed with outstanding marks!" Reggie mocks and he laughs then Paul and Dawn storm upstairs.
"Stupid brother of mine. . ." Paul mumbles under his breath and they enter his room.
Paul's room looks quite neat and organized but with a couple of messed up papers on the table, "At least you can keep your room neat. . ." Dawn says looking around and Paul sits on a small couch.
Paul smirks, "And I thought girls were much more organized than boys." Paul says and Dawn nudges him.
"Whatever!" She says and Dawn lets out umbreon, "Candice! Come on out!"
Umbreon pops out and looks around puzzled, "Umbree?"(Where am I?)
Dawn laughs and picks umbreon up then hugs her, "Your in my friend's, Paul, house!" Dawn says gleefully and Paul lets out his umbreon.
"Umbree!"(Hey!) Umbreon says and he leaps onto Dawn's lap, "Umbree?"(Who are you?) He asks and tilts his head at Dawn.
"Daemon this is Dawn, my friend." Paul says glancing at Daemon and Dawn.
Daemon nods and sits on goes to Paul, "Umbreon?"(Is she Dawn's umbreon?) Daemon asks staring at Candice.
Paul nods and strokes his fur, "So how should we start?" Paul asks and he stands up.
Dawn giggles, "Of course we need to collect the data for our research!" Dawn says still giggling.
Paul smiles and sweat drops then scratches the back of his head, "Oh yeah. . . Hehehe sorry I just forgot for a moment there. . ." Paul says.
Dawn laughs and opens her laptop, "It's ok! Just leave the typing to me and you start collecting the data." She says and Candice hops off her lap and sits down beside Daemon.
Daemon looks at Candice and notices she has a necklace around her neck that has one big pearl. Umbree umbreon. . .? (Why do I fell weird just looking at her. . .?)
Candice looks at Daemon and he watches her fur swoosh in the air as she turns around to look at him. (Daemon sees it in the cool slow-mo thing.)
Candice smiles and Daemon's heart beats faster and he tries to smile back.
Paul looks at Daemon and smirks. Looks like someone has love-at-first-sight!
Dawn pokes Paul's cheek, "Hello?" She says and laughs.
"Hey!" Paul says and he looks at her and pokes her back and Dawn puts the laptop on the coffee table.
Dawn laughs and Paul leaps beside her and tickles her, "P-Paul! Stop it!" Dawn shouts laughing and Candice looks at them.
Paul keeps tickling her and Dawn lies flat on the couch her legs curled up against her body, "P-please!" Dawn screams and she keeps laughing.
Paul stops tickling her then Daemon leaps across Paul's back causing him to fall on top of Dawn. Paul gasps and freezes in horror then Daemon and Candice stare at Paul and Dawn in surprise.
"Umbree!"(Why did you have to jump on his back to get your toy!) Candice shouts shoving Daemon to the wall and he growls at her.
"Umbree umbreon!"(That was the only way I could get it back without stepping on the scattered papers!) Daemon shouts bunching his muscles for a tackle.
Candice snorts and rolls her eyes then walks away behind the couch, "Umbreon. . ."(Whatever. . .) She says clearly annoyed at him.
Dawn pushes Paul off and glares at him, "Aren't you going to do anything to your umbreon for what he did to me and Candice?" Dawn shouts pointing at herself then Candice.
Paul glares at her for a moment then turns away to look at Daemon, "Why did you do that?" Paul shouts pointing at Daemon.
"U-umbreon. . ."(I-I just needed to get a toy from the back of the couch but your were hogging all the space. . .) Daemon says not meeting Paul's glare.
"That's the stupidest reason ever. . ." Paul mumbles turning away.
Daemon glares at him and growls deeply then tackles Paul, "Umbree, umbrae?"(What did you say?) Daemon shouts.
Paul falls on the floor stunned and his left arm hurts from a scrape, "Why are you tackling me?" Paul shouts at Daemon's face.
Daemon backs away glaring hard and the girls watch them bewildered.
"Guys stop fighting! Daemon just wanted to get a toy back and we were busying having fun not to notice that he wanted his toy so Candice and him could play." Dawn says and the boys stop glaring to look at her.
Paul looks at her and looks down ashamed, "S-sorry. . ." He says embarrassed for shouting.
Daemon looks down embarrassed, "Umbree umbreon. . ."(I'm really sorry too. . .) He says and Candice steps forward and puts a paw on his shoulder.
"Umbree?"(Do you mean it?) Candice asks her eyes filled with sympathy.
"Umbreon. . ."(Of course. . .) Daemon says with remorse in his voice.
Candice nods and takes her paw off his shoulder.
Dawn smiles faintly, "I believe you." She says and Paul hugs her tight, "P-Paul!" Dawn says gagging for air.
"Oh, sorry!" Paul says and he lets Dawn go.
"Thank god you didn't kill me!" Dawn says rubbing her sides.
Paul laughs, "I don't want to kill you! Why would I do that to the soon to be school actress?" Paul asks and he tilts his head.
"I dunno. . ." Dawn says and she laughs then calms down to type the data on her laptop.

"Done!" Dawn says after a few minutes of examining and watching the two umbreons.
"That's good. . ." Paul says and he glances at the laptop's screen then looks outside the window, "It's almost night. Either you go home soon or stay for dinner." Paul says and he turns to around to look at Dawn.
"Hmm. . . Maybe I could stay. I'll just text my mom." She says then gets her bag and searches for her phone inside.
Paul nods and stands up, "I'll tell Reggie." He says and Dawn nods. Paul walks out of the room and looks down the hallways, "Reggie!"Paul shouts cupping his hands around his mouth to make his voice louder.
"What?" Reggie shouts and Paul identifies it from downstairs in the kitchen.
Paul runs down the stairs and goes to the kitchen, "I asked Dawn if she wanted to stay for dinner and she said she'll just ask her mom." Paul says panting for air a bit.
Reggie looks at Paul with a smirk on his face, "Why did you ask her that?" Reggie asks and he continues cooking but the smirk stays.
Paul crosses his arms across his chest and narrows his eyes at Reggie, "Is it wrong to be courteous to people?" Paul throws back at Reggie.
"Well. . . Actually, no." Reggie says and he sweat drops.
"See?" Paul says, "We can never win against me in a debate."
""Hmph. . ." Reggie turns away and Dawn runs down the stairs with Candice on her shoulder and Daemon follows behind them.
Reggie looks at her, "Hi." He says and glances.
"Hi!" Dawn says waving at him and Reggie looks at her and nods.
"Paul, can you set the table?" Reggie asks but doesn't look at Paul.
Paul nods and gets the plates, placemats, glasses and utensils then sets the table.
"Do you need any help?" Dawn offers.
"No." Paul says shaking his head and Candice hops off Dawn's shoulder.
Dawn nods and sits on one of the chairs then waits. Paul finishes setting the table and sits on the chair beside Dawn.
Reggie turns around to see them playing ketchup, "Ah. . . How high school love is. . . First as friends. . . Next thing you know is they're best friend ends up as their lover. . ." Reggie says and sighs happily then brings over the food, "Here it is!" Reggie says gleefully and he puts it in front of them.
"Thanks." Dawn and Paul say at the same time and they both laugh.
Reggie smiles and they eat, "You were playing ketchup weren't you?" He asks looking at their bright red hands.
"Yeah but I could've hit Paul only if Daemon hadn't kicked the chair." Dawn says casting an annoyed glance at him.
Daemon looks at them innocently, "Umbree."(I didn't do anything.) He says and the puppy-dog eyes grow bigger.
"Don't fall for that look in his eyes. . . He's trying to hypnotize you. . ." Dawn warns and they laugh.
Candice nudges Daemon playfully and he tackles Candice with a playful growl.
Paul and Dawn eat and Reggie thinks for a few moments, "Right you two are both in the school play as Fedaura and Leonardo?" He asks curiously.
Dawn nods and Paul grunts in agreement, "If you are then did you know there's a part where they-" Reggie says but gets interrupted by Paul.
"We found out the hard way. . ." Paul interrupts and Reggie slightly glares at him.
"Yeah. . ." Dawn says looking at her food.
"We had that same play years back and the old Fedaura and Leonardo were so. . . Annoyed. . . They couldn't do the lines right, when they kissed you could see them spitting on the sides. . . I hope you two won't be as bad as them, will you?" Reggie asks.
"No need to worry!" Dawn says her eyes lighting up, "We already memorize our lines, have the perfect costumes, and the sets are almost done!"
Reggie nods and looks at Paul, "Is your costume the one upstairs inside the cabinet?" He asks.
Paul nods and tilts his head, "Why are you asking?" He asks curiously.
"Oh no reason. . ." Reggie says and Paul look at him suspiciously.
They finish eating and Paul stands up to collect the dirty dishes.
"When's your prom gonna be?" Reggie asks as Paul gets his plate.
"The day after the play." Dawn says smiling.
"Isn't that next week?" Paul wonders and he puts the dishes inside the sink.
"It is?" Dawn asks exchanging bewildered glances with Reggie.
"Yeah." Paul says and Dawn stands up.
"Oh. . . Well I didn't know that." Dawn says a hint of sadness in her voice and she returns Candice into her pokeball, "Anyway, I have to go. . . Bye!" She says smiling and Paul looks at her.
"How did you get here in the first place?" Paul asks.
"I had my mom drop me off here before going to work but she's still gone now." Dawn says.
"Maybe you could walk her home, Paul?" Reggie suggests.
Paul nods and he opens the door and Dawn goes out first, "How far is your house from here?" Paul asks and he closes the door.
"Just the house on the other side of the street." Dawn says pointing to a normal-sized house and she smiles.
"Oh. . . That seems pretty small for someone who owns a brand name." Paul says with a slight smirk on his face.
"My mom doesn't exactly own the company, just the name." Dawn explains, "You see, my mom owns the brand name but another person owns the company itself, she just thought of the idea of making that the name."
"Oh, now I understand." Paul nods and they cross the street.
Dawn smiles and they reach her porch, "Here we are!" She says happily.
"So. . . You'll print it?" Paul asks.
"Of course!" Dawn exclaims and she blushes, "Anyway, thanks for the help." She says with a smile and Dawn quickly kisses Paul on the cheek and goes inside, "Bye!" She waves and closes the door.
Paul stares at Dawn his eyes wide in surprise and he touches where Dawn had kissed him and Paul smiles, "W-wow. . ." He says then climbs down the steps and crosses the street. Paul enters his house and runs to his room smiling.
