A few hours went by; to Scott it felt like weeks, he found his feet stomping towards Dawns room to try again for the second time that Labour Day.

The truth was; a part of Scott really did feel bad, and being yelled at by Dawns friends didn't help either, he knew he has to make things right, because, well, they are living under the same roof and all.

He knocked on her door twice "Dawn?" Scott called out,

From inside the door was Dawn looking up from her book at the door, still not responding to his call.

"I'm sorry okay?" Scott started; Dawn bit her lip unsure if she should answer him or not, in case she made things worse by talking, she stayed silent, still glancing over at the door, she could still feel his presence on the other side.

"I suck at this stuff, can you at least open the door so we can talk about it?" Scott tried to reason with her, Dawn shut her book and stood up from the bed walking over to the door, Scott could hear her moving, but she didn't open the door, she just stood on the other side of it.

Dawn parted her lips and croaked out "why should I? I'm just the creepy weird girl who lives in the same apartment as you, and please do not contradict me by telling me I'm not because you made it very clear last night on what you think of me"

"Okay fine, you're weird!" Scott admitted "but that doesn't mean you have to stay locked in your room all day!"

"why do you even care? I'm out of your way, Isn't that what you wanted? You're really indecisive aren't you?" Dawn posed, crossing her arms and standing still.

"last night I just got more pissed off than usual, why do you even care what I think? I mean everyone else seems to like you just fine" Scott interrogated, instead of a reply he heard footsteps on the other side of the door, followed by the door opening.

There stood the short blonde girl, she had bags under her eyes and her bangs were all over her face, her lips were still in a frown as her lips parted "you really wanna know why?"

"yeah I kinda do, or I wouldn't be here right now" Scott replied trying to look the blonde in the eyes,

"I told you before not to contradict me, I know that Dakota is forcing you to apologize so you being here right now means nothing, just leave me alone" Dawn told him in a irritated voice before shutting the door, only for it to be pushed open again by the one and only ginger on the other side of her door.

"God damn it Dawn, you do realize that I've never apologized in the life right? If I didn't mean it I wouldn't have even bothered to knock on her door the first time this morning, even though Dakota looked like she was going to hang my head above her fireplace if I didn't" Scott countered, still pushing his hand against the door in case Dawn decided to try and slam it in this face again.

"but I thought you hated me?" Dawn looked towards the ground,

Scott signed "I don't hate you, I just don't... understand you, yeah, I guess that's the word"

Dawn looked back up at Scott, to his surprise she let out a small laugh "that's funny, because I don't understand you either, this whole I'm I've been trying, but everything I did ended up making you even more annoyed and frustrated with me so..."

Scott smirked "really?"

Dawn nodded then frowned again "Lightning and Sam always tell me that tearing other people down is like your...talent or something but I just don't understand it, why do you have so much hatred towards people?"

Scott looked at the blonde and let out a sigh "it's complicated"

"how complicated?"

"worse than algebra"

"that's another part of this world I will never understand"

Scott chuckled "who cares anyway, it's just another stupid pointless thing they made us do during high school"

"nothing in this world is pointless Scott" Dawn told him, turning around and walking back into her room, picking her book up off her bed and putting it back into her bookshelf,

Scott watched her carefully "have you been reading all night?" he asked leaning against a random object in her room.

"It passes the time if you can't sleep" Dawn explained, turning her head back around to face him

"look, how about we start again?" Scott suggested "considering nothings open because it's Labour Day, let's have a movie night tonight; with Lightning and Sam, your choice of movie"

Dawns lips cracked into a smile "that sounds wonderful, ill just call Dakota telling her to call off operation: kill Scott"

"that would be muchly appreciated" Scott chuckled walking towards the door before looking back at Dawn "oh by the way, what do you want for dinner?"

"oh don't worry, I'll be out to cook in a minute" Dawn assured him, Scott however shook his head "nah its cool, ill cook tonight but I only know how to make egg rolls, does that sound okay?"

Dawn let out a small laugh before responding "it would sound amazing if I wasn't a vegan"

Scott mentally slapped himself for forgetting about the crazy love for animals "shit, I totally forgot, do you want a salad or something then? I think I can make that too."

"okay Scott, I don't normally get scared or anything, but I have to be honest, you being nice to me is making me is kinda making me feel uneasy" Dawn admitted with a small smirk held upon her face.

"you should take my offer Dawn, it's not gonna last forever" Scott asserted with a smart ass grin on his face.

Dawn giggled "a salad sounds great"

"that's good because like I said, I can't really make anything else" and with that Scott turned around and walked towards the kitchen to make dinner, should be interesting Dawn thought to herself.

"that one!" Dawn exclaimed, pointing towards the movie she has chosen

"Alice in wonderland?" Scott raised his eyebrow

"you're kidding right?" Lightning asked

Dawn shook her head "I was on a family trip when it was out at the movies so I never got a chance to see it"

"why do we even have this movie?" Lightning questioned,

Scott shrugged "Beats the hell out of me"

"well the lady has decided" Sam chuckled taking the disk and putting it into the DVD player, when the movie started everyone sat down with their dinner.

"thanks for making dinner Scott" Dawn smiled at him, Scott just grinned as they all sat back and watched the movie.

"Oh" Lightning gasped

"my" Sam followed

"god" Scott finished "that was so good"

"had a feeling you guys would like it" Dawn laughed getting up from the couch and walking over to the kitchen with the empty plate

"I thought you hadn't seen it?" Sam raised his eyebrow

"I hadn't" Dawn stated "I just saw it in your auras"

"I forgot to ask, is that like a supernatural power or something?" Sam asked the short blonde girl

Dawn shook her head "not at all, though it is difficult to explain"

"well, Lightning needs his sleep, night boys and Dawn" Lightning announced getting up from the couch and walking off to his bedroom, then Sam said his goodnights and went off to his room leaving Dawn and Scott alone.

"oh by the way Scott, I was wrong, I found something in this world that really is pointless" Dawn spoke up

"oh?" Scott raised his eyebrow "and what might that be?"

"War" was the moonchild's answer.

He grinned at her, "you're really opened minded, you know that right?" Scott mused

"I suppose it comes with the whole 'weirdo package' as you would call it" Dawn shot a grin back at the orange haired boy

Scott just shook his head and smiled at her "night Dawn"

"see you tomorrow Scott" Dawn called out to him while he walked out of the kitchen towards his own room.
