It was Paul Shinji's birthday. On their birthday most people are happy or excited. Not Paul. Then again, Paul isn't most people.

Paul thought birthday's were pathetic and a waste of time.

"It's just another year to celebrate getting closer to dying," He had said to Reggie, "what's there to celebrate?" Reggie had given up on trying to explain to him that birthdays were celebrating living another year not to celebrate getting closer to dying because Paul just ignored him. Reggie still decided to give Paul presents on his birthday but instead of the newest football (or soccer) things that every normal boy wanted, he got Paul things he would actually use like, Pokéballs or the upgraded version of the Pokédex or sometimes an evolutionary stone.

But this year was different.

It was Paul's sixteenth and he wanted to get him something special, at first he thought of getting him a Pokémon but then he thought it would just be another poor Pokémon for Paul to torture so he decided on something else. Reggie thought that Paul was lonely (despite all of Paul's protests) and needed a girlfriend, so he thought he would look around. And that was when Paul introduced him to Dawn Hikari.

Dawn Hikari is a very, very bubbly person and is very optimistic. She is the complete opposite to Paul. But that's what Reggie thought was good about her, you know, opposites attract and all that. She was the North to his South, the light to his dark, the hot to his cold, the- you get the message.

And on top of all that, she liked Paul. It's pretty obvious.

So for Paul's sixteenth birthday, Reggie decided to give him...

Dawn.

Reggie thought this was a very good idea but when he mentioned it to Dawn, she turned it down immediately.

"But why?" He had said, "it's clear that you like him!"

"Yes, I like him, but he doesn't like me!"

"You don't know that!"

"Yes, I do! He ignores me every time I speak and when he doesn't he calls me troublesome! He doesn't even know my name!"

"I bet you £20 that he likes you!"

"Deal."

"So you'll do it?"

"Yes, but only for the bet."

"Ok!" And now we come to the actual day. Paul was sitting at the table eating a bowl of cereal, without milk, of course. He was just about to eat another spoonful when he heard a scream and it suspiciously sounded like a girl.

"I AM NOT WEARING THAT!" He was right, it was a girl. And why did the voice sound so familiar?

"Sshh! He'll hear you!" He heard Reggie whisper. Paul sighed, he did not want to get caught up in that. He carried on eating his bowl of cereal, with the lovely background sounds of yelling and screaming and some ripping and rustling. All of a sudden Reggie walked in looking exhausted and scruffy.

"Ok! Your present is finally ready!" Now Paul was confused.

"In you come!" Reggie called. Nothing. Then...

"No!"

"Oh come on, you don't look that bad!"

"No!"

"But then we'll never find out!" Silence. Then...

"Fine..." Paul was still eating his cereal when he heard a rustling sound come into the kitchen, he had just eaten another spoonful of cereal when he looked up, he started choking.

In front of him was Dawn Hikari, wrapped in golden wrapping paper and had a red ribbon as a belt. The wrapping paper was shaped like a strapless mini dress and Dawn was blushing like crazy.

"Troublesome?" Paul said once he recovered from his coughing fit.

"Hi! Before you say anything this was Reggie's idea!" Of course it was, Paul thought. But it wasn't a bad idea as such, she does look quite hot in that outfit. No! Stop it! Paul thought.

"Paul, do you like Dawn?" Paul started choking again.

"What?" He croaked.

"Do you have a crush on Dawn?"

"Who's Dawn?"

"See! I told you!" Dawn exclaimed.

"This is Dawn!" Reggie said gesturing to the said person.

"Your name is Dawn? Huh. Suits you I guess." Dawn blushed a bit.

"Yes, her name is dawn but do you like her?" Reggie said, exasperated.

"No."

"See! He doesn't like me! Can we just move on now?"

"But you never asked me if I loved you." Paul had no idea why he said that, it just jumped out of his mouth.

"Do you love me then?" Dawn asked, a little bit hopeful.

"Yes." What is wrong with me? Paul thought, why am I saying this?

"You do?" She asked incredulously.

"That is what I just said." Why? Why am I saying this?

"Oh, I guess I love you too.." What? Someone likes me? Someone loves me? All of a sudden Paul stood up and walked over to Dawn. He gently placed his lips on hers and pressed down a bit.

"You owe me £20!"

Done! I hope you enjoyed it! Please review and give feedback!
