A/N: sweet Mary mother of god thankyou so much for all your reviews! I came home from school and I was like WOOHOO! Anyways I skipped doing my homework so I could update this chapter so I hope you like it! And that it's worth failing math!
The next morning Dawn stood in the middle of her room looking at everything from her dresser to all her decorations and she only had one thought in her head; how in the name of Neptune is she going to get all this stuff halfway across town?
Dawn mentally slapped herself for not realizing it sooner, she dived on her bed and grabbed her phone and texted her best friend B; he'll know what to do she thought, the reason she texts him instead of calling is because B never talks, well rarely talks anyways.
hey B! Would you mind helping me move all of my stuff to my new apartment? – Dawn
sure, I'll be over in 10 – B
Dawn smiled, B was her best friend from school, they stayed friends after graduation, along with her other friends; Zoey, Mike and Dakota. They were all amazing, I mean sure, every now and again they still get freaked out by some of the stuff Dawn does (accept B) but they still accepted her and she couldn't ask for anymore than that.
Dawn started packing all her stuff into boxes until B got to her house, "oh, hello B! Thank you so much for coming! I knew I could always count on you!" Dawn murmur as they packed everything up and put it in the back of B's ute, B put her dresser, mirror and mattress in the back because when it came to strength, Dawn was at the shallow end of the dream pool.
Arriving at the apartment Dawn knew they would be going back a forth because of the apartment was on the 8th floor, Dawn knocked on the door and Lightening answered "Well looks who's here!"
Dawn laughed putting the box on the ground inside the apartment "oh! How rude of me! Everyone this is B!" Dawn introduced B as he waved at the 3 other renters of the apartment.
"you never told us you had a boyfriend!" Sam shot a grin bigger than Texas,
"w-what? NO!" Dawn exclaimed "were just friends from high school!"
Scott rolled his eyes "whatever" he huffed, looking back and seeing what was on TV
Dawn eyed him for a moment before Sam spoke up "do you need any help with the rest of the stuff?"
"yes please, only if it's no trouble of course" Dawn smiled sweetly accepting his offer
"shaplease! Make way for lightning!" Beamed Lightning as he bolted faster than a bullet out of the room before called back "wait, which care is yours?"
Everyone laughed, except for Scott who was too focused of the TV to care what was going on, while everyone walked out Dawn looked back at Scott, his soul looks distort and distant I wonder why? Dawn thought to herself.
When everything was brought up Sam and Lightning showed dawn to her room and left her and B to put everything in its place, "thank you so much for this B, you truly are an amazing friend!"
B just smiled until his phone beeped, as soon as he read the text message, by the look on his face Dawn sensed he would have to go somewhere "you go B, ill finish up here, I will invite you and our friends over for dinner sometime this week I promise you" Dawn assured him, B nodded and waved goodbye.
As B walked out the door he waved goodbye to the guys that were lousing around on the couch "see ya man!" Lightning called out,
"does he not have a voice box or something?" Scott questioned after B left, Both the guys shrugged, Scott groaned "whatever, I'm going to check up on the new weirdo of the apartment"
Scott got up and walked towards Dawns room "Hey Dawn what- JESUS CHRIST ON A BIKE!" Scott exclaimed as he walked into Dawns room, "Scott what's up-oh!" Sam gasped, all three boys where standing at Dawns bedroom door with eyes bigger than plates, mostly in awe.
Dawn's room was filled with paper lanterns, three dream catchers, strange wall decorations, a few small plants/flower pots and a small meditation spot set up near her bedroom dresser. "Dawn this is amazing!" Sam commented
"it's awesome, a little creepy but awesome!" Lightning agreed
"its original I'll have her that, but doesn't most of this stuff get in your way when you walk into your room?" Scott asked, touching one of the lanterns.
"oh not at all, it calms me down when I'm reading or meditating, and the dream catchers help me sleep, but I'm sure you already knew that" Dawn answered placing her books on her bookshelf.
"where's your dog going to sleep?" Sam asked "I didn't see you bring in the dog kennel"
"Biscuit will sleep in my bed, I will also be setting up an area for her during the daytime for fresh air on the deck if that's okay with you boys" Dawn explained,
"sure thing girl!" Lightning nodded
"as long as she doesn't get in my way, I guess it's okay" Scott shrugged
"where is the little trooper anyway?" Sam said looking around for the pup he hasn't even seen yet,
"I'm going back to my mother's tomorrow to get her, she wanted to stay back with our cat Timmy for one more night, I feel horrible separating the two, their such good friends" Dawn signed softly, looking to the ground "but she wanted to come live with me, so I told her she could stay at home one more night"
The guys looked at Dawn like she just told them she was a mermaid from Atlantic city "uhh, you talk to your pets?" Lightning raised his eyebrow.
"of course, I told you all yesterday I has animal friends right?" Dawn replied, she noticed they were uncomfortable, but it's not like they wouldn't have noticed all the 'weird' stuff she participated in sooner or later.
Scott's eye twitched "you so freaky" he clarified,
"Scott be nice! It's her first night living here!" Sam spoke up, Sam was a nice-guy gamer and since he was bullied throughout most of middle school he tried to stand up for people the best he could, he wasn't bullied as much in high school but he could never forget on what it felt like to be called names.
"its fine Sam, I normally get told that, it doesn't worry me one bit" Dawn smiled a genuine smile "I just really hope we all get along and become great friends"
"me too creepy girl, just don't scare off the babes I bring home" Lightning half joked, Dawn laughed anyway,
"now that your living here we should go through the rules" Scott suggested before lightning interrupted "bro, well discuss the boring stuff at dinner later on tonight"
"oh my gosh, dinner! I didn't even notice it was almost six, I'll go get everything from the grocery store now!" Dawn got up and ran out the door before any of the guys could say anything,
"don't add any of that basil shit, it's disgusting" Scott nagged as Dawn chopped up the onions, "Scott say it nicely, you're lucky she's a sweet girl and doesn't use that knife to chop you up instead" Sam chuckled,
Lightning nodded "yeah bro, you'd be caught dead talking to the lightning like that!"
"I think my bunny slippers just ran off my feet" Scott rolled his eyes, "oh by the way, why doesn't your buddy B talk much?"
Dawn looked up at Scott and the other three boys that were interested in knowing why "B never talks," Dawn explained "just look at his aura"
The guys stared at the moonchild, dumbfounded "say what?"
"a colourful energy surrounding the body, everyone has it" Dawn explained, getting back to her cooking,
"I'm looking at you now and I don't see any colourful aura" Scott objected
"some people are just born with the ability to see other peoples auras, others can learn but it takes years for them to perfect... and it still isn't perfect" Dawn laughed at her explanation
"I'll stick with soccer" Lightning said
"weirdo" Scott mumbled under his breath, but Dawn still heard it, she just decided to take no notice of it. "dinner will be ready in 15 minutes" she told them, they nodded.
"damn girl, two thumbs up!" Lightning roared giving Dawn the thumbs up,
"even I can't cook like this and I have high score on cooking mama!" Sam chuckled at his comment
"I'll admit it's good, maybe you should stick with cooking as a talent other than all those other weird hobbies you have" Scott suggested in a rude way, Dawns looked at Scott, she got a compliment and an insult in the same sentence, isn't he just a ray of sunshine? Dawn thought to herself, while twirling her pasta in her fork.
"okay, time for the rules" Scott started "first of all; when your inviting people over, you have to give us a few hours notice; I don't want a bunch of girls coming around when were lying around in our boxers or whatever"
Dawn nodded "I completely agree with that rule"
"rule number two; whoever cooks the rest have to clean and put away" Sam added before taking a drink of his coke glass.
"oh I don't mind cleaning up-" dawn was cut off by Lightning "don't worry Scott is normally the one stuck washing up anyway" Scott shot him a death glare
"rule number three; you make your own bed, do your own washing, you know all that boring shit we have to do in our everyday lives" Scott continued, Dawn nodded.
"oh and also Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays are movie nights since there's nothing good on TV, we all take turns picking a movie" Sam added,
Dawns eye lit up as she asked "you mean I get to pick a movie when it's my turn?"
They nodded, "yay" Dawn cheered softly.
"rule number four" lightning continued "when having a night out your allowed to bring a girl, well in your case a guy home as long as you give us the heads up before you go out"
Dawn blushed "do you guys bring a lot of girls home?"
"Lightning does! Sam and Scott on the other hand...not so much" Lightning responded looking at the two boys
"I too busy studying or playing video games; you know that!" Sam defended himself, twirling his pasta with his fork
"Girls are too...clingy" Scott sneered, squinting his eyes a little.
Lightning bursted out laughed "I almost forgot about man-lady, bro just come out of the closet already!"
"I never slept with her! And I'm not gay!" Scott roared at lightning.
Sam turned to Dawn "Scott had a thing with this girl called Jo back in high school, she's still always trying to get with him at parties and stuff like that" he explained laughing
"what are you smoking? We never had a thing! She was the one who had a thing for me and wouldn't take no for an answer! She's ugly as hell and a right bitch" Scott snarled
"Scott that's a horrible thing to say about someone!" Dawn gasped,
Scott glared at Dawn "she hits me all the time and whispers in my ear 'hey freckles, you wanna get with a real woman?'"
Dawn raised her eyebrows feeling a tad uneasy at what he just said "she must really like you though" Dawn stated before taking a sip of her vitamin water
Scott snorted "she's just a freak who is obsessed with cardio, kind of like you're a freak who's obsessed with animals and talking is weird phrases"
Dawn pressed her lips together, unsure of what to say as she was worried about upsetting him "I mean, you're not ugly or anything like her obviously but your defiantly stranger than her" Scott added, Dawn gave a half smile, was that a compliment? She thought to herself.
"well if everyone's done, us gentleman will do the washing up now!" Sam suggested grabbing some of the dishes and walking over to the sink "the meal was amazing by the way Dawn, thanks a bunch!"
Dawn slowly opened her eyelids to see all the lights and lanterns on in her room, she just has a meditating session, she looked over at her time; 12:15am? Dawns eyes nearly popped out of her head! As she got up she thought to herself; I can't remember the last time I meditated for that long.
Dawn hippity hopped her way out of her room towards the kitchen to grab a glass of water; she noticed Scott was up watching TV.
"thought you were asleep" Said the ginger boy who was watching a late night horror movie that was playing on TV.
Dawn shook her head "oh no I was meditating"
Scott raised her eyebrows at her "for like, 4 hours?"
"I know! I can't remember the last time I meditated for that long-"
"that's long?" Scott shrieked, Dawn let out a small giggle making her way towards the kitchen "where are the-"
"the draw next the knives and forks" Scott interrupted her as if he was reading her mind, as dawn opened the cupboard a glass fell out and smashed on the floor, Dawn let out a small yelp.
"what are you doing?" Scott called out to her sitting up from the couch and looking over to the kitchen.
"a cup just randomly fell out, don't worry ill clean it-ow!" Dawn yelped again, blood oozing out from her finger that was cut on the glass.
"don't tell me you tried to pick it up with your hands" Scott mumbled getting off the couch and walking towards the moonchild, when he saw her finger was bleeding, he signed "go get a bandaid there in the top cupboard, ill clean up the glass"
Dawn did as she was told, worried that she might be annoying him, of course she's realized by now that he wasn't the easiest person to talk to but she still wanted to try her best to get along with him, they were housemates after all!
"thank you, I'm really sorry for causing you this trouble" Dawn croaked out
"just be more careful next time, if it happens again just go yell at her person who was putting away the dishes, in this case its Lightning" Scott told her, before she had a chance to reply Scott has already turned around and begun walking towards his room.
Maybe he doesn't hate me as much as I thought, Dawn smiled to herself
A/N: well, I'm pretty certain that's the longest or second longest chapter I've ever written, what did you all think? Oh and I have some questions that I hope you guys could answer:
Do you like all the housemates or do you want me to change some of them?
what did you think of the little dawn and Scott moment at the end?
do you have any ideas of your own you would like to add to this story?
PLEASE REVIEW! I LOVE YOU ALL! xoxo
