Alright! Here I am, Saturday morning, FREAKING OUT ABOUT DOCTOR WHO (which is in TEN HOURS AND FORTY-EIGHT MINUTES!) and updating this story. WHOOHOOO.

IMPORTANT NOTE, PLEASE READ: Last chapter, I told you guys I was thinking about deleting chapter 20. You guys all got freaked out at me, saying that you LIKED chapter 20. I think you guys got a weee bit confused. Due to TFROBP having a Prolouge, the chapters look like they are one higher than they are. The last chapter I updated (the one wiht Leaf and Gary) was chapter NINETEEN! I would never, EVER delete that chapter! It's very important! It was this chapter (the one I am posting right now) that I was thinking of deleting. Sorry for the confusion!
That aside, I am posting Chapter 20 (or Chapter 21, if you please) A Love that Last a Lifetime anyway. It is stupid and it is filler and I kind of hate it, so don't be mean in your reviews. To make up for the stupid-filler-ness of this chapter, I am posting ANOTHER chapter, Chapter 21.

It would really make my day if you leave reviews on BOTH chapters...because I liked getting reviews! So, make sure to do that and REVIEW! Now, I wonder if anyone actually reads this whole thing...if you do, write "Doctor Who Forever!" (in your review, of course). And then make sure to review, check out my poll, my other stories, and that's it because Surfergurl's contest is closed :(

HERE WE GO! Chapter Twenty: A LOVE THAT LASTS A LIFETIME (Warning: Mostly Filler...sorry :( )

Chapter Twenty: A Love that Lasts a Lifetime

Dawn couldn't make up her mind. It was stupid, but she really couldn't. She could deal with that kind of a decision. She knew both Lucas and Paul were getting sick waiting for her to just get it over with. She was almost waiting for one of them to just say, "Okay, I give up! I'm not waiting for you!" and make the decision for her.

But they didn't. And they both kept their distances, as if the one who stayed furthest away from her, gave her the 'most space to think', would win her.

So Dawn sought them out. She didn't really know what she was doing, but she wanted to talk to each one of them and define what their relationship was really all about.

Leaf told her to make a Pro and Con list.

Dawn had started, with something like this, but then had gotten aggravated.

LUCAS
Pros:
He's safe.
He's cute.
He's so sweet.
He's, you know, perfect.
Every girl's dream.
Cons:
There aren't any sparks…

The Cons List was very short, with one or two things. Paul's list was the exact opposite. There were one or two Pros with fifty bazillion Cons, starting with his temper and ending with his hair.

The List hadn't made Dawn feel any better about her relationship with either boy.

But Dawn didn't want to go seeking one and demanding why they should be the one to end up with her, like they were on some kind of TV Love Show. Shows like that made Dawn want to puke.

Dawn's messed-up relationship made Dawn want to puke.

Why hadn't Lucas just broken up with her? It would have made everything so much easier.

Dawn consulted the Five Rules of Being Psychic, as if they would give her some kind of heavenly, psychic advice.

It didn't, of course. Even though Dawn still had her powers left. Barely. Auras were so faint Dawn couldn't differentiate between blue and purple and the thoughts she got…they were very weak. But Dawn wasn't sure who it was she was falling for. Well…if she was losing her powers, it had to be –

No.

She couldn't be.

She shouldn't be.

He was all wrong for her…on paper. But in real life, Paul might just have been perfect.

And even with that fact sitting out in the open in her mind, Dawn refused to let Lucas go.

But she wasn't even sure she wanted him anymore.

What was wrong with her?

Leaf had been gloomy and stormy and mope-y ever since the scene with Gary in the library, when he admitted her wanted her back. Why Dawn was sitting moping about her own – much less traumatizing – problems was beyond her. She had two – well, one – great guys chasing after her. Fighting over her. Wanting her. And Leaf…Leaf was scared to love again. She was afraid of getting hurt. Which made perfect sense.

Gary had called the house every day since the fiasco in the library. Their mail was being bombarded with flowers and chocolates and stuffed animals and please-take-me-back love letters. Leaf hadn't even taken a second look at the cards or the chocolates or the animals or the flowers. She told her friends they could take whatever they wanted, she didn't care. She didn't want anything to do with the junk. May had indulged in the chocolates, but other than that, the mail from Gary was collecting dust in the living room.

Dawn wanted to spend the day talking to her boys about their own personal relationships, but when she called Paul, he didn't pick up.

When she texted Lucas, he texted:

I love you, Dawn, but I won't sway your decision. I want you to be the one to make this.

Dawn wondered if this was the way he was planning to get back at her. By making it impossible for her to break up with him. By making her look like a monster if she did.

Underhanded. Dawn looked at her phone. Very underhanded.

But then she realized she was being seriously insane. Lucas would never do anything like that. It wasn't part of his being. He was all good, from the ends of his hair to his toenails.

Dawn rubbed her face and dropped her phone in her room. If anyone tried calling her, she wouldn't pick up. She was busy today. She walked into Leaf's room, where Leaf lay on her stomach, holding her pillow.

"Hey," Dawn rubbed her back, "You okay?"

Leaf laughed, half hysterical, "Are you kidding me? I'm great. He wants me back."

Misty screamed in the next room over.

"What's with her?" Leaf asked, obviously trying to avoid the subject of 'Leaf and her horrible relationships with the men in her life'.

"She's trying to reach her sisters, so she can kill them, and convince them to approve Ash."

"Oh. Right. They still aren't picking up?" Leaf's eyes were filled with sympathy for her best friend. Even though Leaf didn't have her powers, she was still extremely empathetic. "Those bitches."

"I know, right?" Dawn snorted a laugh while Leaf shifted herself so she was sitting Indian-style on her bed, facing Dawn. "How long can they avoid her?"

"Not long, before she goes racing down to Cerulean City just to get the approval. She'd beat it out of them if she had too."

"She must really love him." Dawn sighed, "After all that, too. She'll bring Heaven to Earth just to get him back."

"Did you ever believe they were ever really out of love?" Leaf asked, smiling a bittersweet smile, "I never did. A love that true doesn't fade within a day. Within a few hours. A love that true lasts a lifetime."

Both girls fell silent. They looked in separated directions. A love that lasts a lifetime. They both wondered, maybe I'll get that, sometime.

See? What did I tell you? Filler. Anyway, it's kinda cute and I like seeing Dawn and Leaf bonding. They don't get enough bonding time. :)

Please, please, PLEASE leave a review on this chapter! Tell me what you though about my filler, of if you thought it was good, or if you think I should have just deleted it!

Kay thanks, :3 (Review, review, review, poll, other stories!)
