There isn't enough Dott fan-fiction to my satisfaction, so I decided to write one. -sorrowXdarkness
Connecting With You
Chapter 7
oooOOOooo
Previously, Kitty and Dawn became roommates under one room as Kitty presented Dawn a serious question.
"What do you think of Scott?"
That just came so abrupt as Dawn had no idea how to reply. Yes you do! She inner thought said as she bashed herself on the head. You said it yourself. You're in love with Scott. That girl has a history with him. Something we know nothing about. True from her projected self, Dawn knew not a thing about those two: how they met, what they've been through, and for how long.
"Um..."
Upon hearing an uncertainty from Dawn, Kitty's expression began to soften.
"Don't you like Scott?"
Dawn couldn't reply right away. Kitty was asking the questions, but it was Dawn that needed some answers. Her senses were ineffective for the girl that was see-through.
"I'm sorry Kitty, before I could answer that... I want to ask you something."
"Oh, okay. Go for it."
"Right...well...this has been bothering me for a while." Dawn said truthfully as she looked down at her legs. Kitty lifted herself up from the cushion of their now shared bed to look at the other girl. "How exactly did you meet Scott?"
It has been nearly 6 months. Kitty just finished her short fame in Total Drama Ridonculous Race when she arrived to the now familiar town. Her sister may have not won the competition, but the surfer dudes kept their promise. A portion of their winning went to the twins to which her sister Emma had enough to go to law school without worrying about the intuition. With the additional help by the government, she managed to go to school of her choice without a hitch.
That left Kitty to pursue her desire to travel around the world. Eventually, she settled on a town with hardly a name. The place had nothing really special going on. It was like any other town, but Kitty decided to give it a chance. After all, she saw something in everything.
"It was actually the same day we met Chloe." Kitty revealed with a smile. It was such an endearing smile as she recalled that fateful day in the park. She was taking multiple selfies as she ventured out to find something amazing. Walking past a tree, she heard the cry of a cat. Looking up at the tree branch, she stumbled upon a light gray cat staring at her. Her eyes were especially appealing as they caught Kitty's attention.
Thinking that she wanted help. Kitty began looking around for anyone to assist her. She was terrible at climbing, but perhaps if she stood on top of someone then there may be a way. She stumbled upon Scott nearby and practically snatched him from the sidewalk. Although Scott resisted at first, he finally agreed when she presented him to the trapped cat.
"Fine."
"Oh, silly me. I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Kitty." She asked, expecting a response back. A response that included his name.
"Nobody. I'm nobody."
Reluctantly, Scott got down and allowed the girl to use his back. Excited, Kitty got on with no hesitation. Her weight was no problem. The problem was her height as she began to sway back and forth. Something that put strain on Scott and his body. Using the tree as a stabilizer, she tried making her way up.
"Almost there..." She said as she stood completely up and waited for Scott to do the same. Lifting himself and Kitty up, Kitty reached new height. A height high enough to reach out and grab the kitten. "Hey little kitty." She said, arm outstretched. As she struggled to reach the cat, the cat began to move away from her hand.
"What's taking so long?" Scott asked.
"She won't let me grab her."
"If it doesn't want to be rescued, then I say leave it."
"We can't! I can see her bleeding on the side of one leg."
"Then try something else." Scott struggled to say. "Maybe that dumb cat doesn't like anybody."
That was when it came to Kitty as she suggested that Scott called to the cat.
"Are you an idiot."
"Just try it. It doesn't hurt to try." Kitty insisted, looking down at him; literally.
"Fine." Scott sighed. "Here kitty kitty." Nothing. The cat just simply meowed. "You better get down here cat or else!" Scott said in a louder tone. Like magic, the cat followed his command. Walking toward Kitty's hand, she looked toward Scott before jumping. Surprised, Kitty let out a shriek as the cat climbed on Kitty's back. After that, she descended onto Scott's head where she began clawing his face.
It was enough for him to lose his focus as Kitty tumbled down. The tower fell as Kitty landed on Scott. After the dust of the ground settled down, Scott was down on the floor with Kitty on top of him. The cat was stood before them both as she began to lick her bleeding paw.
"I serious hate that cat." Scott said. Kitty simple responded with a series of giggles.
"I know this is a weird time, but what can you please tell me your name."
"Why should I even bother telling you my name."
Both were still in the ground, neither one moving. Kitty said that was the most fun she had ever had since coming to this place. Aside from a few scrapes and bruises, she was fine.
"Speak for yourself." Scott said before feeling the weight on his body disappearing. Lifting himself up, he saw the weird girl patting the dust off of her skirt. "Scott." He said in a low voice.
"Huh?" She tried and turned to him.
"I said my name is Scott." He said loud enough for her to listen.
"No, you said 'Scott'."
"If you heard me the first time, why did you have me repeat myself?"
"Just wanted to hear it again." She said with a smile. "Hi Scott." She said, hand outstretched for a handshake.
"Whatever." He took it and the rest was history.
"After that, we took Chloe to the vet, and she sort of got attached to Scott."
"Wow." Dawn said, pulling back to process everything. She was so engrossed in Kitty's story that she found herself close to her face. It took that one moment for Kitty and Scott to acquaint themselves.
"Yeah. Now it's your turn." The girl said as she now leaned toward the pixie girl. Her eyes were locked onto Dawn's as she repeated the question once again. "What do you think of Scott?"
"What do I think of him? Well, it's pretty har-"
"No, it's not." Kitty replied.
"It is." Dawn said. She looked toward a wall. "I'm surprised by all of this. About Scott. He's nothing like how he was during Total Drama. Then again, a million dollars was at stake." Dawn began to recall their moments. "He gave me this room. This blanket." She pulled at the plush blanket she received during her first night at his apartment. "And also this." She held her hands over her chest. "Of all the people for me to fall in love, it happened to be Scott."
"Is that bad?"
"No. But it's still surprising." Dawn smiled. "I love him. I really do. I even tried to kiss him right before you knock at our front door."
"W-What!" Kitty replied as she latched her hands onto each shoulders of the pixie girl. "You have to tell me everything." Commanded the tall girl.
"Okay. But not today." Dawn insisted. "My heart is racing just thinking about it. Oh geez." She felt all warm now, thinking about that kiss that was so close to happen. How bold. "It felt like I had no control. Like I really wanted it."
"You do!" Kitty insisted. "You're totes in love. My love radar is practically ringing off the charts!" Kitty exclaimed as she let out a shriek before dropping down onto the mattress. Dawn stared at the girl. "Oh, how I wish I to be in your shoes." Kitty said.
"I'm sure someday you will. After all, I didn't expect to fall in love with Scott."
"Yeah. Oh!" Kitty lifted herself up. "We definitely need to come up with a plan."
"Plan?"
"Yeah, you can't just confess willy-nilly. You need a plan. Especially if it's for Scott."
"Really?"
"Yeah. He's definitely not over his last relationship." Kitty said as if common knowledge.
"Last relationship? Do you mean Courtney?"
"What? No. Don't you know about Lucy?"
"Lucy?"
oooOOOooo
Early in the morning, Scott awoke. Despite the loud noises from the girls, he managed to get some sleep. He planned to help KItty find a new apartment, but knowing her, she would want to take it slow. With Dawn in the picture, Kitty would like to know as much as possible until her curiosity was met. Too bad for her, he was still working today. Heading toward the bathroom, he was stopped by Dawn.
"Oh, hey."
"Good morning, Scott." Dawn said cheerfully.
Seems like everything returned to before that comment as they both walked into the bathroom. Brushing their teeth using their respective brush, they both looked away from each other. Scott drank some water and gargle the content. Spilling first, he began to leave.
"Scott, wait!" Dawn said as she spitted the content out. Putting away her brush, she turned to him. "I want to ask you something."
"If it's about Kitty, then don't worry about it. She usually sleeps the morning away." Scott said as he leaned on the doorway.
"No. It's not that. I was just wondering...do you want to check the local bookstore or something? After work?" She was twiddling her fingers. How hard it was to ask him out like that.
"Sure. Whatever." Scott said before finally leaving. That brought a small smile on Dawn's face. It meant yes.
"Great." She said happily as they descended the stairs and left to go to the animal shelter.
oooOOOooo
