Chapter Four: Bye Bye Eevee
The bright light died and May and the others gasped in surprise as in the box where Glaceon and Eevee now held an Espeon with May's Glaceon staring at it in awe.
"What the hell...?" Drew began. Everyone gathered around the poor little thing and May bent down and scooped it into her arms. "Is it you Eevee?"
"Esp esp" the purple creature looked up at her and licked her cheek, then snuggled down in her arms.
"Aww crap..." Paul gave a long sigh.
They all turned round and glared at him
"Why? What's wrong?" Ash hissed at him.
Paul sneered at him "you're so clueless aren't you; you can't even see what's happened!"
Tension was rising between the two and Dawn could see her, she sighed and walked over to Paul and slipped her hand into his. Paul turned his face and meet hers and his face cleared of the angry it held and softened. All the others held their breath as they grasped what Dawn had just shared... she likes Paul and by Paul's expression he also liked her.
"Paul..." Dawn started "calm down, there's no need for a blow out. Please could you tell us what's happened" she smiled at him and squeezed his hand so softly that no one could have noticed except himself and Dawn. He smiled at her, and then turned to the others.
"It's quite simply actually, even though Eevee's time with May has been short it's obviously quite young and when May showed kindness towards it, it happiness level reached its max and since it is now morning and that means daylight it evolved into an Espeon.
"Of course" exclaimed Drew. "What are we going to explain to the School though? Because since Eevee evolved for May it loves her and they can't really take it away now"
May stepped forward, holding the Espeon protectively and said "I won't let them take her and if they try I'll pay for her. She's mine now and always will be. But we can worry about it later it's nearly 2am now so let's meet in the food hall tomorrow at breakfast
. They all walked out May's dorm room and whispered goodnight to each other. They all trailed back to their rooms, except two. Dawn and Paul. "What are you keeping me for?" he demanded.
Dawn giggled and whispered to him "thanks for not blowing and explaining to everyone it meant a lot to me", and then she stood on her tiptoes and kissed him gently on the cheek and ran off down the hall to her own room.
Paul stared after her and when she was out of sight he turned and tiptoed back to his own room, heart fluttering and cheeks blushing pink... no one saw except his borrowed Flareon which walked down the hall beside him.
:O Dawn likes Paul, Paul like Dawn it's so simple, but of course it's not. The whole gang is in for surprises soon.
The good news? The biggest surprise is close enough to touch...
The bad news? It's the most terrible, scariest surprise of all...
