A/N: Hello everyone! I know I have been MIA for quite a while, but I am back now and ready to start a new story. My last story, Hotblack, has not been finished yet, I still need to work on the last chapter which I honestly have not started working on yet. :/ But, I have been working on a brand new story with five chapters already done!

This story is based off the song My Black Dahlia by Hollywood Undead. I've done some research through the original story of Black Dahlia where Elizabeth Short, a girl who had been murdered and the killer had been unknown. I plan to make this story similar to the original story and the song, but in my own way.

This story would be rated T for now, but will move onto rated M for later chapters.

Ikarishipping and Pearlshipping are included in this story, though the Pearlshipping is mostly Anti-Pearlshipping, and also there is no Pokémon in the story, mostly because I want to stick to more realistic events.

There will be some pretty crazy scenes that involve violence, strong sexual explicit scenes, drugs, alcohol, etc. If you do not feel comfortable to read about these kinds of situations, then please don't read! If you do, well go on and read and I hope you enjoy.


All the people that were sitting on the stands were filled with ecstatic when they saw the best marching band in the state step foot on the field. They were known as the Potential Sound of Energy, the only band in Veilstone City with loads of potential energy and never ending stamina. The band also had a well-known dance team known as the Blue Diamonds, the best dancers any marching band could ever have.

Paul, an 18-year old senior with long lavender colored hair, searched through the crowd to find the captain of the Blue Diamonds. His girlfriend, Dawn Berlitz, happened to be the captain of the Blue Diamonds and was considered one of the best dancers in Veilstone City. Paul always believed she was the best overall, not that because she's his girlfriend, but because he's watched her dance so many times that he has never seen anyone else dance as amazing as she does. Dawn always dreamed of pursuing a dancing career and Paul would do anything and everything to help her reach that goal.

Paul wasn't usually the type to fall in love with just anybody, he was always to himself and never had any time for love or a relationship in that matter. But when he met Dawn, he hadn't known that a girl like her would ever change his life or in fact make him want to become a better person.

When he had met her, he honestly didn't like her at all. He felt that she was one of those stuck up kind of girls since she was a Blue Diamond. But then one day, the girl he assumed that was so stuck up, wanted to get to know him because he rarely had any friends. Of course, he felt some kind of way for her judging him over his actions and his appearances, but what he noticed about her is that she actually wanted to get to know him and be his friend, like she really was interested.

That's one thing that really caught Paul's interest because she was so eager and determined to get to know him and become a part of his life. But what had made him fall for her is when he started going through rough patches at home and Dawn had always been the one to help him through those rough patches. Paul hadn't known anyone that was willing to help him through so much pain like the way she did. And that's what he admired most about her. She would always be there for him with everything.

"I see May!" Drew, who is also a senior and a really close friend of Paul's, shouted.

Paul and Drew had been friends for quite a long time, and he knew he could trust his green-haired friend with anything. The two had been sitting on the metal stands along with three of their other friends, Ash, Gary, and Leaf. They all decided to attend the special event tonight because not only it was a regular competition; it was the State Competition for all bands in the state. And State Competition was considered big; at least that's what they knew.

Paul laid back a little bit and kept his eyes on a certain Blue Diamond.

Dawn had her hands placed on her hips just like a few other Blue Diamonds with their left legs stepped out. The rest of the Blue Diamonds were standing the same way, though with their right arms, they were resting flags against their waists. They were all smiling bright, each of the girls wearing a bright sparkling blue head band wrapped around their foreheads, along with a tight glittery sapphire blue and silver body suit and beige stockings with beige dance shoes. Each of the girls had their faces beautifully done; their eye shadow sparkling with blue and white glitter and regular eye shadow beneath. Their lips were colored in red, the only color that made their outfits pop.

One thing Paul loved the most is that he always got to see Dawn looking sexy with those outfits, but that's something that he would never say out loud.

"They better win this shit," Gary muttered, taking a sip of his drink that he bought from the concession stand.

"Oh they will, trust me." Leaf, his pretty brown-haired girlfriend announced. "They're the only band that everybody talks about and I know this because Kanto and Hoenn are talking about how bad they want the band to go over there."

"Really?" Ash, the raven-haired 17-year old teen who always worn a hat over his head said, sounding surprised with what the girl had said.

Paul rolled his eyes. He always disliked the raven-haired teen because of his positive and outgoing personality. But it wasn't just that, the raven-haired teen seemed to cause Dawn's interest in a way, especially when it came to his basketball games since he is the captain of the varsity basketball team. Paul would never admit that he felt this way to her because he knew that she just looked at him as a friend. But she was always more happier around him, and he never exactly understood why.

Paul sighed, taking a look at the basketball player who was concentrating hard on the band. He wasn't about to let these thoughts roam into his head, especially on the night of State Competition, so he looked away and narrowed his eyes on the band who were on the field.

"Drum Majors! Take the field…" The announcers said through the microphone for everyone to hear.

Everyone soon fell silent as their eyes fell on the band before them.

The drum majors blew their whistles as the band began marching in place seconds after.

Paul hardened his eyes on them, watching as the bandsmen beginning to march forward in even lines on the football field, the dancers marching in between them while they all screamed chants while marching.

After a few moments, the band began to spread out in different angles, but Paul quickly took notice of the shape that the band had created and it was a diamond.

The marching band soon had stopped marching and lifted their horns as they began playing a smooth fanfare, some of the Blue Diamonds in between them moving their flags smoothly with the song.

"I see May over there," Drew pointed to where she was, and she happened to be all the way in front where the other trumpets were.

Paul had known Drew for quite a long time to know about his girlfriend May, who was also in the marching band, but she wasn't a dancer. She was a bandsmen and she happened to play the trumpet.

"She looks super hilarious in that big ole' uniform," Drew laughed, not being able to take his girlfriend rather seriously in show.

That's one thing the bandsmen had to wear, whenever it was cold outside, they had to wear their huge band uniforms, uniforms that make them look like the Nut Cracker. At least that's how Paul had always seen it.

"I can't take her seriously with all that on, especially with that helmet and plume." Drew laughed hysterically, trying to calm himself and continue watching the performance.

Paul chuckled lightly. It was pretty funny to see her wear that. Every girl looked pretty funny wearing band uniforms.

The band began to move again, separating into more shapes as the band began playing songs that seemed familiar to most of the audience.

The song that they were currently playing was Chandelier by Sia. Paul could tell the band was playing the song by the rhythm. Though, he let his eyes search for Dawn and saw her dancing with four other Blue Diamonds. She was practically flying, but her arms were going in the air from side to side as her legs kicked in the air.

"I'mmmmm gonna swiiiiiiing from the Chandelierrrrr, from the Chandelierrrrrr!" Gary sang, getting into the song the band was playing.

Paul couldn't help but laugh at Gary's stupidity and childish behavior. That boy was always known to have fun no matter where he was.

It was going on 10 minutes into the show, and the band already played a few songs like Trophies by Drake, Maniac by Michael Sembello, She by Keyshia Cole, Wild for the Night by Skrillex ft ASAP Rocky, Thug Cry by Rick Ross, and Too Much by Spice Girls.

Paul assumed the best part of the show was now since the band started marching closer to the audience in even lines. Usually when they do this means that they're about to finish off the show with something great.

The band stopped in place and yelled out a chant before dancing all together.

"Yes! You guys better work!" Drew stood up, cheering for the band.

Paul smirked as he watched his girlfriend dance her ass off.

The songs were all bashed up together, he could tell because it was a mixture of Michael Jackson's songs such as Beat It, Billie Jean, PYT, and the last song being Thriller.

The performance ended with the band doing the Thriller dance all together while playing their instruments, though, the dancers had it easier with dancing that dance because they didn't have to play an instrument while dancing. After they finished, they all stopped and yelled "Down!" which meant that the show was now finished.

Suddenly, everyone stood on their feet and began clapping and cheering them on, but Paul just stood up with his friends, having his hands in his pockets as he stared at Dawn and the entire band beginning to march off the field.

"They're most definitely going to win!" Leaf screamed in ecstatic, clapping nonstop.

"Shit! That was good!" Drew yelled.

"Yeah, you go May! And Dawn!" Ash yelled, causing Paul to shoot a glare at him, though the teen hadn't noticed.


"And now, the band with a total of 98.4% in marching, flag dancers, drum majors, general effect, and music is…"

Paul stared hard at the scene, the rest of the people on the stands silent as ever as they waited to hear which band would walk out of this stadium as the 2014 State Champions.

"…Veilstone High's Potential Sound of Energy!"

It wasn't until a second later everyone jumped out of their seats, along with the marching band quickly running out onto the field with loud screams and excitement.

Paul smiled, happy with the judge's decision. Of course they are the champions, they're the best and he always knew that ever since he was a freshman at Veilstone High.


The stadium began to clear, but the band was still on the field still overwhelmed with the fact of being State Champions.

Paul smiled as he walked onto the field.

"I'll be right back," Drew patted Paul's shoulder as he said this, running to find May on the field.

Paul saw as he left, but then narrowed his eyes at Dawn who was currently walking towards him and gave him a huge hug. "Congratulations." He whispered, his arms placed on her waist.

Dawn pulled back a little, her arms still wrapped around his neck. "I'm so happy. I can't believe we won. I didn't think we would."

"I knew you guys would." Paul smirked. "All of you worked really hard and you guys deserved it."

"Thank you." Dawn smiled brightly.

Paul licked his lips and began to lean in in order to kiss her, but Dawn instantly pulled back. "Did you forget? I can't kiss you in uniform." Dawn giggled.

Paul's face immediately fell blank. He always hated that stupid rule, but he couldn't just break it even if he wanted to.

"Dawn! Congratulations."

Paul looked behind Dawn and saw that it was the raven-haired senior he just couldn't stand.

Paul snarled. Dawn's eyes lit up and if not mistaken, Paul noticed that she became a little more happier to see him here than seeing her own boyfriend.

"Hi Ash!" Dawn gave him a big hug, the hug lasting for at least three seconds before she pulled away. "I can't believe you're here!" She smiled.

"I couldn't miss State Competition. Plus, you did great Dawn. I loved the way you danced." Ash smiled at her.

Paul watched the two intensely, but if not mistaken, he saw a small blush appear on Dawn's face as soon as Ash said that, and Paul felt a bit conflicted with that.

"Dawn, come on let's take a picture!" A pink haired Blue Diamond said, grabbing onto Dawn's hand and pulling her toward the group of dancers as they began to take their group photo with the State Champion trophy.

Paul licked his lips and narrowed his eyes on Ash who was watching the girls take a photo together. He stared at him intensely, his fists clenching at his sides.

Before he could say anything to Ash, Drew and the others came back, distracting him from doing so.

"I'm glad they won." Leaf said, her arms wrapped around Gary as Gary kept her warm since it was so cold outside.

"Yeah, May is really happy and so is Dawn." Drew smiled, chuckling lightly. "It's great that they got to experience something like this."

Paul shoved his hands into his pockets and stared at the grass for a brief moment, now beginning to get lost in his thoughts.

Why did Dawn blush at the compliment Ash had given her? It just didn't make any sense. Ash wasn't even her boyfriend, so why did she blush at his comment?

Is it possible that she might have feelings for him? Paul shook his head, not wanting to think about anything like that.

Ash was completely opposite from Paul. He was always more kind and outspoken, always did things positively, always had a positive heart and mind, and he was always determined to have a splendid life. Plus, he was in the varsity basketball team, along with Gary.

Paul was always to himself and never really socialized with much people. He always had a negative view of things because that's how he had always saw things in his perspective. He wasn't involved with any school activities, but he knew that he wanted to get into college.

But Paul was nothing like Ash and he'd be damned to be anything like him.

Paul broke out of his thoughts as soon as he heard Gary speak. "The band is leaving on their buses. We should start heading back, its way too cold to be standing out here." The brown spiky-haired basketball player said.

The group nodded as they started following Gary to his car. Paul walked with them silently, his thoughts still fixed on Dawn and Ash.

Where were these emotions coming from? Paul felt more anger boil inside of him, but he let out a breath of air as he tried to calm himself down.

Ash Ketchum. There's no way in hell that Dawn could possibly have feelings for him.

Paul Sumpter was the better man for her and he knew that. There's no way in hell Ash Ketchum could compete with him.


Paul entered his classroom and sat down in his usual seat where he always sat in his first period. He had just finished walking Dawn to her class, but he was quick to leave her and get to his class just because he was still feeling some type of way about what had happened on Saturday night.

Dawn had questioned him a few times here and there, wondering why he was so quiet and so emotionless, but he didn't bother giving her the satisfaction of telling her what was wrong. He just needed time to think and he honestly didn't want to talk about the problem at all because that will only make the problem worse than it already is.

"Good morning Tigers! Hope everyone is having a good morning so far." Serena, a girl with long blonde hair and who also happened to be a senior spoke into the announcement speakers. She was the girl who always offered to do the school announcements and had a 4.0 GPA. Paul knew her from a few of his classes, but he never spoke to her once because well, he never liked to socialize. He also knew that she sort of had a thing for Ash, but never really did anything about it since he is the captain of the varsity basketball team.

"Congratulations to our Marching Tigers, the Potential Sound of Energy for winning State Champions at the state competition on Saturday night!"

The entire class began to scream in chaos, but Paul just sat there in his seat, completely oblivious to the enthusiasm the class was having about the band winning State Champions.

"For winning State Champions, Mr. Jones promises championship rings, so all band members and dancers remember to come by the band room to get your ring sizes!"

"That's all I have to say this morning. Everyone have a wonderful morning and go Tigers!"

The line soon cut off.

Paul ignored his surroundings, not really caring about the band winning State Champions anymore.

Maybe he was paranoid. Maybe she wasn't blushing at Ash and it was all just a hallucination. Maybe he just imagined it and he had to just find more of a reason to hate Ash.

Paul laughed lightly to himself at the thought.

What was this feeling he was having towards the raven-haired varsity basketball player? Was it envy?

Paul shook his head. Paul wasn't the person that was capable of being jealous of someone; he never felt that kind of emotion. And that emotion was known as a weakness and there's no way in hell Paul wanted to be considered as weak. He was strong, stronger than most people he knew. Yeah, he gets hurt, like most people, but he was always strong about things that tried to put a huge impact on him.

Paul wasn't jealous of Ash. There's no way in hell he could be.

Paul then found himself remembering something. This was the period that Dawn shares a class with him, and just by knowing that simple fact caused Paul to clench his fists tightly.

Who knows what they could be doing in that class…

Paul groaned, annoyed with his thoughts. He wasn't weak and he wasn't the kind to get jealous. Dawn had always been loyal to him and she would never betray him, so he believed that. There's no way in hell he's gonna let that raven-haired bastard make him think otherwise.

"I hate how she completely has him fooled." A girl said, causing Paul to suddenly break out of his thoughts. The girl was speaking to one of her friends, talking about something which he assumed was a bunch of gossip, so he just shook his head and ignored it.

"Paul is way too good for her. I don't understand how he doesn't see that she obviously has a thing for Ash."

Paul raised his eyebrow, his attention back onto the conversation once again as soon as he heard what the conversation was really about. But Paul pretended as if he wasn't listening to the conversation, now locking his eyes on his phone.

"I just think that she's a whore. I saw her the other day staring at Ash while he was changing out of his basketball uniform in the boy's locker room."

One of the girls gasped. "Really? Wow… I feel really bad for Paul. He really needs to leave her before she cheats on him."

"But what if she already had? She's a Blue Diamond for crying out loud, why would she want to settle for a guy who's not as popular as her? I mean, Paul is good looking and all, but he isn't popular. And plus, Ash is the captain of the Basketball team. It would only make sense for her to cheat on Paul with him."

"But I don't think Ash is that kind of guy to take someone's girlfriend. I mean, he's really kind, and I don't think he'll let Dawn get that close to him."

"Marisol, come on. Think! He's the captain of his team and she's the captain of the dance team. He must have feelings for her too and I really do think that he could possibly do something as shady as that."

"But Caroline, Ash wouldn't make a move on Dawn." The girl, Paul assumed to be Marisol, said.

"How do you know that?" Caroline raised her eyebrow.

"I don't, but I've heard a lot of good things about him. I don't think he's that kind of person." Marisol sighed.

"Marisol, don't you know that it's always the bad guys that always gets a good impression on people? Don't let that fool you." Caroline flipped her blonde hair to the side before looking at her brown haired friend again. "Besides, even if Ash doesn't make a move on Dawn, what if Dawn makes a move on Ash? I mean, it is possible. She does have a huge crush on him and everybody knows that."

"Yeah, but not Paul." Marisol added, frowning slightly as she looked over at Paul who was looking down at his phone. He was unaware of her glancing at him though, he was still pretending he had been focused on his phone but he had been listening onto the girl's conversation the entire time. Anger was filling inside of him, but he did very well not to show it.

"Paul is going to find out. I'm sure he's not stupid." Caroline smiled lightly before looking over at him and then back at Marisol. "And once he does, I'm sure the outcome wouldn't be pretty."

Marisol frowned.

"If I were her, I wouldn't mess with a mysterious guy who never knew what love was like till he met her. And once he realizes that she is his worst, she's going to wish she never ruined his life."

The bell soon rang and Paul quickly left out of the classroom, his body filled with all kinds of rage.

So Dawn does have a crush on him or was that just a rumor?

Ash could also have mutual feelings for her, but then again did Dawn really have feelings for him that way?

Paul was confused and angry, he just couldn't function. He wasn't the type to believe rumors, but he just couldn't deny what was right in front of him. She did blush when Ash gave her that compliment. She always loved being around Ash. She was always happier around Ash. Whatever Ash thinks is right, she agrees with him. It was always Ash. Ash had always been the person she'd tell all her secrets to, but she never told Paul her deepest secrets. Ash had more of that trust than he did. Did she not trust Paul at all?

Paul stopped in front of her class and the sight before him completely made him explode.

Ash and Dawn were laughing as they exited their class and Dawn was smiling super hard, but what for?

Paul didn't think, he just walked up to the pair, his eyes fixed on Ash and his face flat on serious. Dawn soon saw him coming their way and she smiled instantly. "Paul!" She said with excitement, but her excitement completely blew out of her when she saw him throw a punch in Ash's face.

Her jaw dropped. "Paul!" She shouted, seeing as Ash fell to the floor. She dropped down to her feet as she grabbed Ash in her hands.

Paul saw her grab him into his hands, and he wanted to punch him even more, but then he felt eyes on him, a whole lot of them. When he turned around, he saw a lot of people looking at him in surprise, a few of them yelling "Fight, fight, fight!" in order to encourage him to continue the fight with Ash.

Paul just shook his head and turned, walking away as he pushed through the crowd that witnessed the scene.

Dawn watched as her boyfriend left, confused about why he had all of a sudden punched Ash. "Paul!?" She shouted, watching as he disappeared from the hallway.

Teachers and a whole bunch of administrators shown up, too late to stop what had happened.

Paul slammed the doors of the school open.

Dawn obviously has feelings for Ash.

She got down on her feet to grab him in her arms as soon as Paul punched him.

Dawn chose Ash instead of Paul.

Maybe she didn't love Paul like the way he loved her, or maybe she never loved him at all.

Maybe she really loved Ash and Paul was just too blind to see it.


The doorbell rang, causing Paul to look straight at his room door after hearing the sound of the house bell ring. He had his Dr. Dre beats in his ears, listening to music, but his music wasn't loud enough to tune out the sound of the doorbell. Paul ignored the sound though, listening to his music before raising the music up a bit louder. Whoever was at the door, he sure was not about to get up and answer it, his brother could do that, not him.

Paul closed his eyes, getting zoned out in his music. Usually the music helps him fall asleep, and he wanted to sleep and rest his mind, especially after the events that occurred earlier that day.

"I hate living without you. Dead wrong to ever doubt you. But my demons lay in waiting, tempting me away."

Paul's eyes snapped open as soon as he felt his headphones being pulled down towards his neck. "What the fuck?" He retorted, soon realizing who was the person that was responsible for interrupting his slumber.

"Can you explain to me why you punched Ash earlier today? That was really uncalled for." Dawn crossed her arms over her chest as she waited for an answer.

"What?" Paul furrowed his eyebrows together. "What are you even doing here?" He raised his voice.

"I'm here because I'm concerned about the way you've been acting." She told him. "Now tell me why you punched him." Dawn demanded.

"I punched the spoiled brat because he deserved it," Paul rolled his eyes, putting his headphones back to his ears. Dawn pulled the headphones back down, quickly seeing a flicker of annoyance cross Paul's face.

"No he didn't," Dawn said in defense, "He didn't do anything to you, so that didn't give you the right to punch him."

Paul shook his head and moved off of the bed; he was completely annoyed with the words that were coming out of her mouth right now. She sounded ridiculous. "Whatever," he mumbled.

Dawn sighed, turning around. "Can you please tell me what's going on with you? I don't understand…"

"It's nothing." He lied.

Of course it was something, something that bothered him a lot. But he didn't want to discuss it with her because he, himself didn't want to find out if she really does have feelings for Ash. Dawn didn't need to know that he was feeling some kind of… jealousy toward her and the basketball player. Him feeling that way period made him look pretty much pathetic and Paul never considered himself as pathetic.

Dawn sighed as she hugged him from behind, resting her face on his back. Paul wanted so badly to pull her away from him, but then he remembered how much he loved this girl. She is the only girl that ever made him feel so… light; she was like a flame that lit up all of his tunnels. And that's what people mostly described him as, a tunnel, something that's dark and with little light.

"Whatever is going on, you know that I'm always going to be there for you Paul." She frowned, slowly pulling away from the hug and turning him around to face her.

Paul just looked at her with a blank look, no emotion in his face. Dawn's frown deepened. "I love you." She said, looking at him in the eye.

He said nothing; he just remained quiet and emotionless. Dawn sighed before placing her hands on each side of his face. "I love you Paul and nothing is going to change that."

Paul stared into her eyes as she said this, her soft hands caressing his face. Before he could contemplate on what to do next, she pressed her lips onto his and silenced him with a long-lasting kiss.

For some reason, deep down behind those words, he heard otherwise. It seemed like she didn't mean what she said, and Paul isn't stupid. He could tell when someone is lying or not. But he didn't want to believe that this was a lie because this girl that was kissing him, telling him she loved him, is the love of his life. And he would do anything and everything to keep her.

Dawn pulled away from the kiss and looked him in the eye again, her hands still on each side of his face. "Always and forever…" she whispered, and then smiled softly.

Paul just stared down at her, no emotional expressions filling inside of him, not even on his face. Dawn pursed her lips however, and then dropped her hands back to her sides. She looked down, and then looked back up as if she tried to be extra happier than before. Paul quickly noticed her mood change, but he knew it was because he didn't show any emotion to what she had just said. He knew she hated that, but he honestly couldn't bear any emotion, especially with the thoughts that he's having about her.

"Well I'm gonna go over to May's." She added, grabbing her jacket that was placed on his dresser. "I promised her we would have a girl's night out. I just thought I'd see you first, so…"

"Hn." Paul walked past her to the dresser to find a pair of new clean clothes.

Dawn bit down on her bottom lip. "I'm just going to hang out with May, Paul." She said.

Paul didn't bother on acknowledging her comment; he just continued to find himself some clothes that he could wear after he showers.

"You know, you're really frustrating me with the attitude." Dawn said louder.

Paul chuckled and looked over at her. "What are you talking about?"

"The way you're acting." Dawn folded her arms together. "You're not saying anything, you're being way too quiet and you know I hate that side of you."

Paul returned his eyes on the clothes he was searching for. "Learn how to deal with it."

Dawn blinked, confused with his behavior. "What? What is wrong with you Paul?"

"Nothing, I'm fine."

Dawn wanted to argue, but she held her ground and just let out a sigh. "Whatever, I'm leaving." She gathered her things together and started leaving, but she halted and turned to look at him and she stared at him for a short moment before speaking. "…Do you trust me?"

Paul raised an eyebrow, but Dawn remained staring at him as she waited for an answer.

After staring at her for what seemed like forever, Paul tore his eyes off of her. "You sound pathetic." He said as he walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind him.

Trust is something that someone can't automatically have. Trust is earned and he wasn't so sure if Dawn earned that place, especially with how she's been behaving lately.

If anyone's having a change in behavior, it's her, not him.

But did she really mean what she said? Does she love him like she says she does?

Paul heard the front door of the house close shut and he looked at himself in the mirror.

Maybe he was being paranoid and over thinking things. Maybe Dawn really loves him and he's just hallucinating. But then again, what if he isn't hallucinating?

Paul frowned.

He loved her way too much.


A/N: First chapter complete. Yay!

Songs used in this chapter: Comatose by Skillet.

I firstly want to point out that while I was gone; I was busy in band myself. Yes, I am in a marching band called the Southern Sound of Soul for my school, Seventy-First High School, and I play the piccolo/flute. I do want to include that I am one of the State Champions of North Carolina, and me and my band have won State Championship in November 2014. I have proof on my instagram: mzfeistyx3, and on a youtube video where you can just type in "SSS (71st HS Marching Band) – 6th Annual (2014) NC High Stepping Marching Band Competition". This is why I put so much detail with the band scenes because I know a lot of it, though I don't know much about the band dancers because I've never really was one, but I do know that they dance a lot, wearing glittery make up and body suits, and have flags with them—well some of them do.

Just wanted to tell you guys that. (: I will not be putting anymore band scenes because band season in the story is over, so it would just be focusing more on Dawn and her dance duties since she loves to dance.

For the next chapter I will include a new character that will become one of the main characters in this story, and it is a SHE. She's also a character I love to write about, and she was only in one episode in the first generation of Pokémon. You guys will find out who it is the next chapter, but in the meantime, REVIEW! And tell me what you guys think what might happen later in the story. I really want to know your predictions!
