Chapter 2!! Yay!!
May: Yay!!
Me: I'm so glad my talent show is over, and I'm glad I did really well!
May: Really? What did you do?
Me: Ummm, like a dance routine but people said it was a little suggestive but oh well! Just wait until I write yours!
May: Ehh….Okay let's get this over with! HARVESTGIRL10 DOES NOT OWN POKEMON, ITS CHARACTERS, OR THE SONG 'LADY MARMALADE'.
Me: Woah…I didn't even ask….
May: Yeah well, on with the story!
"R-R-Revenge?!" Dawn stuttered as she held the signup sheet in her trembling hands.
"Mhm, Dawn you said you wanted to give Paul revenge for being a jerk." Misty implied, browsing through a stack of CDs in that she brought over, looking for a particular one.
"B-But! That was only talk! I can't go back on the stage, not after last time!" Dawn cried, completely flushed on remembering the incident.
Leaf sighed as she swiftly snatched the paper out of the blue-haired girl's hands and looked it over. A smirk came to her face as she read the fine lines.
"Dawn, we already signed everyone up and we can't just drop out, that'd be foolish. Besides you're the lead." She mentioned as she handed the paper back to Dawn, whose jaw dropped when she heard that she would be leading.
"THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL I'M GOING UP THERE!" She finally screamed, causing a few neighborhood lights to turn on. Dawn saw this and threw her hand on top of her mouth, embarrassed.
"Pleaassseeeee Dawn," May, as well as everyone else, gave her the infamous puppy-eyes and pout. Dawn sweat-dropped at the move, her friends were dead serious. "We're all doing it, so you won't be totally alone!"
"R-Really?" Dawn asked surprised as she looked over the paper once more. Each time she read it, it didn't seem so bad. After all, it's not like Paul will ever have feelings for her and even if she embarrasses herself, then she could at least say she tried….
"B-But what about Zoey?" Dawn mentioned as she looked over the red-haired teen, who sat on a huge cushion, looking more calm and serious then the rest.
"Kinda…but I'm not going to be in too much-"
"WHAT! Y-You said that everyone would be in it…." Dawn finally hesitated, suddenly becoming unsure or her decision.
"Dawn, think a little! Everyone but Zoey needs revenge and she is actually helping you! If it wasn't this serious, she wouldn't have even considered it! She was the one who came up with the idea!" Misty bargained, glancing over at Zoey, who nodded at the remark.
Dawn's heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, two choices lay before her. She could A. Decline the offer quickly and live the rest of her high school life in peace, avoiding Paul Shinji at all costs.
Or B. Do the Talent Show, risk the chance of embarrassing herself again, but also the chance of prevailing and getting back at Paul for all he has done. To finally show him that she wasn't so annoying, she wasn't the idiotic girl he had known, and that behind her shy exterior, was a bitch who wanted revenge.
Revenge.
'Troublesome Girl.' Paul's word's echoed in Dawn's mind.
Revenge
'Hmph. Pathetic .Like she honestly believed that some retarded twirl act would impress me?' His voice echoed, only this time louder.
REVENGE.
"Seriously Dawn, do your really consider us friends?! Just leave me alone!" Those painful words that Dawn ever had to endure once again echoed through her minder, but only this time the loudest of them all.
REVENGE!!
Each time Dawn repeated the word, her confidence boosted and the desire to put Paul in his place took over. This time, HE would be the one who would want to impress her, HE would be the one fawning over her every move, and SHE will be the one who would harshly decline his offer and walk away, putting him in complete misery. Just like he had done to her…
"I'M IN!" Dawn suddenly declared, slamming the paper down in the middle of the scattered mess of popcorn and candy. Everyone else gave her approving looks, and Misty finally after a long search, pulled a CD out of the pile and placed it into a stereo.
"Good for you Dawn! Now, let's see …what track was it?" Misty congratulated, keeping her eyes on the stereo, however.
"And don't worry Dawn! You're the not the only one using this for revenge!" May emphasized as she patted Dawn's shoulder, fully approving of her blue-haired friend's actions.
"Yeah, me too!" Leaf chimed in, raising her hand in the air.
"Huh? What did Gary do to you, Leaf?" Zoey asked, raising an eyebrow. Everyone else suddenly dropped what they were doing; Leaf never mentioned anything about Gary. In fact, she was probably the only one, besides Zoey, who would never bash about him which was odd because she certainly seemed the type.
Leaf looked down, her face a bright red. "W-W-Well, you see, it was during school, in the hallway…"
--Flash Back--
Leaf walked down the hallway like any other day, but today was Friday so she walked with a little more oomph, excited to get the heck out of the torture chamber aka school
As usual, the halls were filled with students getting to their lockers and such, so Leaf had to weave her way through. As she thought she had finally made it through into the clearing, she smacked right into Gary, causing both of them to fall to the ground, with Leaf on top of him.
"Wow, someone's a little excited this morning." Gary smirked as the surrounding students circled around them, snickering.
"Eh…"Was all Leaf could say, she was just like a deer in the headlights, she was too embarrassed to move. With a face beat red, she meagerly got up off of Gary but she got up over his head.
"Wait a minute…I didn't just-SHIT!" Leaf cursed at herself as she realized what she had just done.
Leaf looked back in horror as she looked down at her blue uniform skirt. Well, of course, you would see nothing wrong with it but here was the thing, she had worn her SHORTEST skirt she could find today! Leaf was terrified as she saw Gary get up, red in the face.
'Damn it!' Leaf literally screamed in her head.
She began to retrace her steps in her mind, horrified. She picked herself up off of Gary, walked over his head, and-
"YOU DID NOT JUST SEE-!" Leaf screamed out.
"Ha. I JUST DID." Gary coolly walked past Leaf, a smirk on his face. "By the way, nice red lace panties! Does your mother know you wear those?" He added, slapping her butt as he walked away.
As Gary was about a few feet away, Leaf screamed out
"PERVERT!!SEXUAL ASSUALT! SEXUAL ASSAULT! " Leaf screamed back at Gary, flailing her arms.
Sadly, everyone just gave her a queer look and walked away, all thinking that Leaf had just lost her mind.
Leaf trembled a sigh as she, and her short skirt, marched out of the building while cursing in her head:
'REVENGE! REVENGE!! I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW HOW DAWN DOES THIS EVERYDAY!"
Leaf sat there, mortified as she told the story.
"Poor thing…" Zoey consoled as she placed an arm around her shoulder.
"I still can't believe why I thought it was a good idea to wear my red-laced panties with my short skirt!" Leaf wailed as she dug into one of Misty's ice cream pints.
"Well, here's the perfect revenge. Just like you said Leaf…They have to know you have it and know that they can't have it!" Misty proclaimed as she pushed the play button on the stereo. A Catchy tune began to play. As soon as it played, Leaf's ears perked up and an excited look spread across her face, as well with Misty and May.
"The perrfeccttt revenge." May purred ash she nuzzled into a huge pillow just like a cat.
It took Dawn longer to come into realization but as soon as the lyrics began to play, her face turned a deep red.
"WE'RE GOING TO SING THIS SONG?!" She shouted once again, her face red. Dawn knew this song, she knew it very well and she knew what the song meant! Especially the French Words!
All the girls gave her a nod, which caused Dawn to turn redder! She couldn't do this song, especially in front of Paul! It'd be worse cause then if she messed up she'd look pathetic and desperate!
"W-we can't!" She finally stammered as she hid in her head behind her pillow.
"Dawn! This is perfect! We show the guys we got it and -"
"Know…they…can't have…it." Dawn murmured under her breath in a barely audible tone as she finished May's sentence.
"What's that? We can't hear you!" May encouraged, holding a hand to her ear.
"THEY HAVE TO KNOW WE HAVE IT AND KNOW THEY CAN'T HAVE IT!" Dawn finally bellowed flushed in the face, which caused more lights to go on. This caused all the girls to giggle.
"Exactly." Misty agreed, "Now you can finally show off you singing ability, curves, and your confidence."
"Yeah…WAIT! Singing?! CURVES?!" Dawn once again, yelled, completely red. Everyone let out a huge sigh as she did so; this was going to be a long night.
"Huh? Odd…" Misty said as she began typing on Dawn's pink laptop.
"What is it Mist?" Dawn asked cheerily as she ducked a pillow that May chucked at her. The girls decided to have one huge pillow fight, and Misty who learned from experience, decided to sit this one out and go on the internet instead.
"Ash just IMed me! But that's so weird! It's like 2:00am!" Misty replied with a confused look on her face.
"What! No Way!" Leaf exclaimed as she pounced on Dawn's pink comforter next to Misty, everyone else soon followed, their eyes glued to the laptop's monitor. The following convo appeared.
AshieBoy: Yooo Mist!
WaterChick589: Hi, Ash? Isn't it like 2:00am?
AshieBoy: And?
"I don't buy it. Ash is the laziest person on earth; he would never be up this late." Zoey figured as she knew Ash, she was the one who had to put up with his snoring in French Class after all.
Ash began typing again and another IM came up.
AshieBoy: So, why are YOU up?
WaterChick589: Um, sorta at a sleepover. Duh.
"Ooh, this is so much fun! Here, give me the computer!" May squealed as Misty handed her the laptop. May prompted it on her lap while everyone looked over her shoulder. May began to converse with Ash, pretending that she was Misty. Dawn let a huge sigh before getting off the bed and going into her bathroom.
"Something wrong, Dawn?" Everyone asked in unison as they saw Dawn approach the bathroom.
"I got to change my pajamas; apparently this one has a huge hot chocolate stain I just noticed." Dawn complained as she showed off the huge brown stain on her pretty pink gown, everyone frowned.
"Aw, and you looked so pretty too!" Misty sympathized as Dawn hung her head in agreement. She marched right into the bathroom and closed the door behind her.
Everyone turned their attention back to the convo.
AshieBoy: Hey, let's put up a webcam!
Waterchick589 (May): Why?! OMG you're so perverted. I swear, just like Drew!
AshieBoy: May?
"Crap!" May screamed as Leaf and Misty giggled. Zoey just rolled her eyes. May then decided to play it cool and replied:
WaterChick589 (May): Nooooo, Misty.
AshieBoy: Nope, def. May. Misty never talks about Drew and how perverted he is.
WaterChick589 (May): Damn!
AshieBoy wants to connect with you for webcam.
"Well, there's no harm. It's only Ash right? And it's not like we're naked or anything." Leaf giggled as she placed the webcam on top of the laptop.
WaterChick589 has accepted your request for webcam.
A screen popped up on the laptop, showing Ash there, laughing.
"Hey, guys! This webcam is so much fun!" He cheered, since the boy probably never used webcam to chat before, he found it quite amusing.
"Yeah…sure…" Zoey rolled her eyes once again, and then moved the webcam around to display everyone.
"Woah! Is that Dawn's room?! It's so pink!" Ash asked amazed, everyone simply nodded. Then there was a large smack against his head, causing Ash to linger in pain.
"Seriously, you're such an idiot." A voice off-screen insulted Ash, who Ash returned with a glare.
"Eh? Is there others with you?" Leaf asked as she pointed her finger at the screen.
Ash picked up his webcam and displayed it around the room, showing Gary, Drew, and Paul just sitting there! Ash adjusted the cam to keep it on all four of the guys while May did the same by adjusting it so the whole room was displayed, even the bathroom door.
"Awe, how cute! A boys-only sleepover!" Misty teased, causing everyone, except the guys, to laugh. This caused May to fall over the floor, from complete hysterics while shouting "Cute! Cute! Cute!"
"It's not a sleepover, idiot! We were practicing." Drew said as he took control of the screen, he flicked his hair in the process.
"For what?!" May snapped as she appeared in front of the screen.
"The Talent Show, what else? We're going to kick ass-" Drew paused as he looked at May; his eyes looked at her mischievously as he flicked his hair.
"What now?! You little piece of green crap!" May roared at the screen.
"Oh, I just noticed that you don't have your body pillow with you tonight! Kicking the habit?"
"WHY YOU LITTLE-!" May bellowed as she tried to attack the screen, Leaf, Zoey, and Misty had to restrain her back.
Drew responded by smirking and flicking his hair once more.
"Like I was saying, our band is going to play in the Talent Show." He declared in complete confidence. At this point, May began to calm down and now her huge temper was now at a violent simmer.
"You guys have a band? Well, we're-" Leaf, being her oblivious self, almost spilled but just in time, Zoey covered her mouth.
"They can't know, you idiot!" Misty whispered harshly to the long-haired brunette, who muffled her words through Zoey's grasp.
"Oh…Right…" Leaf replied with a weak response as Zoey let go.
"Wait a minute, if this is at Dawn's house, where's Dawn?" Gary asked as he looked at the four girls, Paul just sat there, emotionless and annoyed.
"Oh um-" May began but, as if on cue, Dawn waltz in the room, but only wearing a tiny pink tank and her white undies. Completely oblivious to the webcam and that Paul was watching.
"D-Dawn!" They all cried but Dawn just ignored them.
"I'm so dumb! I can't believe I forgot to bring my pants!" She complained as she slipped on her pink sweatpants, she turned her attention to her friends, who both gave off a shocked look and as well a sympathetic look for their friend.
"What?" Dawn asked as she tilted her friends, who gave her a
Run-Now! Look.
"Well, I guess that's solved." Gary smirked.
"G-GARY?! WHAT THE HELL!" Dawn screamed as she ran to the laptop, only to see Ash, Drew, and Gary with extremely red faces. Dawn let a huge scream in humiliation and then it all just got worse. She then saw Paul sitting in the corner, with an angry expression on his face but he did his best to conceal it.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU GUYS TEL ME?!" Dawn yelled as her fellow friend covered their ears.
"W-We tried…" May whimpered. Dawn looked at the computer screen again, hoping that it would just disappear.
"Well, I don't think any of us want to see that again. Bye." Paul said in a disgusted tone as he cancelled off the session. Leaf meekly turned off the laptop.
"Dawn?" Zoey sympathized with her friend, whose head drooped down, sulking.
Meanwhile Dawn was crying, tears dripping off onto her pink bed.
'Well, I don't think any of us want to see that again'
'H-How could he be so mean? He's acting like we were never
frien--No Dawn! You promised to never think of those times, never!'
Dawn ran back to the bathroom, crying so hard. Misty ran in with her, hoping to console her poor blue-haired friend.
"D-Dawn?" She asked, hoping to help her friend in need, this scene was way too familiar with all of them by now. Everyone else ran in, all aiding Dawn.
"I…want that revenge…I WANT IT SO BADLY!" Dawn finally screamed in her tears, it was just so hard. Why did it have to be this hard?! And now, Paul Shinji is going to regret everything he's down to her, every time he made her cry her heart out.
Dawn helped herself up off the toilet seat she was sitting on and looked in the mirror, only to find herself with a tear-stained face.
She looked at it long and hard, it didn't make sense, not at all.
"Why…." Dawn cried once more as her friends all consoled her.
"WHY THE HELL AM I STILL IN LOVE WITH HIM?!" She finally cried, her knees falling to the floor.
'And after all he has down…'
Phew! That took longer than I expected! In case you were all wondering I'm going to quickly finish up this story then finish up A Precious Bond! But don't worry, that story is long from over! Please review and I'll see you next chapter!
