"Do you like me?"
Those words were ringing through her ears throughout the day. Dawn huffed in annoyance. If only she could control her stupid pride...
{Flashback- A few hours earlier}
"...and he's just sooo romantic." May sighed, and with a dreamy look in her eye, clasped her hands together.
She was talking about Drew. Again.
Dawn rolled her eyes. Again.
"I get it May." She folded her arms and stuck her nose up. "But not all of us need a guy."
May scooted closer to her best friend and pinched her cheeks. "Aww, is wittle Dawnie lonely? I could help you find a boyfriend, you know." She winked.
"Get real, May. I don't need help finding one. I just... don't want one right now, that's all. I'm busy." Dawn shoved the brunette's hands off of her.
It was her turn to roll her eyes now. "Get real, Dawn." She mocked. "The Grand Festival just ended, and you need to celebrate your ass-kicking win against Ursula with someone."
"But why can't I celebrate it with you?" Dawn pouted.
She stood up and brushed herself off. "Because I have to get back to Hoenn for my Grand Festival tomorrow. But don't worry Dawn, there has to be at least one guy out there that ought to like you." She turned around with an evil glint in her eye.
"What are you saying?" She shrieked, "That I can't get a guy? Newsflash, sister, I can have one by the end of the day!" She sneered and stuck her nose up once more.
May's eyes flickered with a mischievous look.
"Oh crap. What did I get myself into..."
{End Flashback}
Now she was completely determined to find someone who liked her. To prove her dumb-ass of a best friend wrong. And nothing could stop a rampaging Dawn in her tracks.
...
"Do you like me?"
"Of course I do, Dawn! You're my friend!" Ash exclaimed, patting her on the back.
She blinked. That was easier then she thought. "So... you wanna go out some time?"
"...But we're already outside." He cocked his head and put a finger to his chin thoughtfully.
She face palmed. How could someone be so dense?
...
"Do you like me?"
He scratched the back of his head. "Uhh, no offense Dawn, but your a lot younger than me." Brock gestured with his hands. "You're pretty- don't get me wrong! It's just... Your like my little sister. I'd feel like a pedo..."
"No worries Brock, I understand." She mentally checked him off her list.
After explaining her situation, Brock nodded. "Ohh, I get it now. Have you tried Kenny? He did confess to you a while ago."
Her face lit up in realization. Kenny! Of course! Her childhood friend confessed right before she left with Ash for his Sinnoh League Championship battle.
...
"Do you like me?"
"Gee Dee-Dee, that was unexpected." He laughed awkwardly. "Err- not right now. Sorry! It's just that after you said no, I met up with an old friend and we really hit it off... Sorry..."
Dawn's eye twitched. "No problem. I was just curious. Thanks for telling me!"
And with that, she flounced off, leaving behind a dazed Kenny.
...
"Do you like me?"
"How could I not?" The hyper-active Barry said, "Your friends with Paul! THE Paul!" He gasped in amazement. "He's just so handsome... and coooooooool..."
Dawn just stared in shock. Was her childhood friend gay...? Wanting to avoid the upcoming awkward conversation, she fled like there was no tomorrow.
...
"Do you like me?"
This was getting really tiring. She was so out of breathe from running around the entire region. She prayed that he would finally be the one.
But alas, all she got was a blank stare, a "No" and a, "Troublesome, get out of my way."
And with a discourage sigh, she scuffled her way out of there.
...
"Do you like me?"
"...do I know you?" A bewildered out Drew asked.
She sweat dropped. "Uhh yeah, I'm May's friend. Now answer the question! Do yo-"
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, DAWN?"
The bluenette turned around to be face-to-face with a furious May.
"When I said go get a boyfriend," She stated calmly, "I meant, GET YOUR OWN."
And with that, the girl-in-red stormed off, a confused Drew in tow.
...
"Do you like me?"
She was desperate. Who else was there to ask? Except for maybe Conway...
"Seriously Dawn?" Zoey's mouth dropped. "I'm freaking straight! Why the hell would you think I liked you that way?"
Dawn shrugged. "I thought you were bi."
"I'm going out with Kenny. Just 'cause I actually wear pants, doesn't mean I like girls." She said, and stormed off.
Dawn pouted. "Time for my last resort..."
...
"Do you like me?"
'Please say yes.' She pleaded in her mind. She was disgusted at the fact that it was Conway, the epitome of a creep. But she was that desperate.
But alas, the response she got from him was as creepy as Conway could get.
With an evil play of a smile and his glasses hanging low on his nose, he just stared at her.
And stared.
And stared.
And with that, she backed a way slowly, taking a few steps at first, before breaking into a full sprint.
"I have just as much luck with guys as Brock has with girls." She whined.
And somewhere in the distance, a croagunk's punch and a man's cry could be heard.
I tend to come up with these one-shots in the shower. No idea why. o_o It's been on my mind for a few days, and I had to write it.
Dawn is always shipped with everyone, I wanted to change it up a bit~ Speaking of which! I just watched Sinnoh League Victors. The penguinshipping episode was ridiculously cute. I would probably be a penguinshipper if it wasn't so fun to write ikarishipping.
And is it just me, or do you guys get a Harley vibe from Barry?
Hope this chapter wasn't too insane.
~Brie
P.S. Should I just break up these one-shots into separate stories? Or do you prefer it if I just keep them together? xD
