The Five Rules of Being Psychic Chapter 25: Not So Cliche, a pokémon fanfic

So I'm in Pottermore! My wand is nine and a quarter inches long, made out of Cherry wood (which was, like, my DREAM wood, just saying) with a dragon heartstring core. Apparently, if I were Japanese and went to a Japanese wizarding school, I would have status because of my cherry wand. ALSO, the pairing of Cherry and Dragon heartstring is said "Cherry wood often makes a wand that possesses truly lethal power, whatever the core, but if teamed with dragon heartstring, the wand ought never to be teamed with a wizard without exceptional self-control and strength of mind." LIKE DUDE I'M AWESOME. I'm also a Hufflepuff, in case you were wondering. BUT NO SUPRISE THERE. I bought a Tarwny Owl and I named her Aella (which means whirlwind and is pronounced ay-la) and she is beautiful and I love her. DFTBA...

Doctor Who tonight! I'm having a marathon all day with my friend! So that should be fun! :) DOCTRO WHOOO! The God Complex. I'm excited.

The usual: Review. Poll. Other Stories. Kay thanks ;D

I don't think I have anything else to say, except: HERE WE GO. THIS IS IT. CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR: Not So Cliche!

Chapter Twenty-Four: Not So Cliché

Dawn clicked her heels together like she was Dorothy and clicking her heels would take her home and everything would be all right. Except it wouldn't.

Lucas, even, was annoyed with Dawn for taking so long. He and Paul had set a deadline for the Show Case – which was, well, tomorrow – for her to decide. Or else she wasn't getting either of them.

Selfish. Dawn yelled at herself as she walked around her house, Stupid. A whore. She was the worst person she knew.

She couldn't even be happy for Leaf or Misty, who were finally back together with the guys they loved, because she was so hung up over her own problems.

The girls had already stopped trying to help Dawn make a decision. Everyone was kind of annoyed with her. That's why Dawn couldn't stay at home. She was walking in the park, looking at all the happy couples and watching the sky for the thunderstorm that was sure to come.

Her designs were ready. The runway was set. Everything in Dawn's life was perfect. Except her love life, of course, and possibly her mental health.

May and Dawn. The only two not happy. The only two still with their powers. Dawn and May. The only two still heartbroken.

Dawn hated feeling sorry for herself. She thought the walk would clear her head, but it did nothing of the sort.

But it was pretty out.

Stupid couples, Dawn thought as she walked through the park, all happy and cutesy. She was actually starting to get really bitter.

"Troublesome!" Someone called from behind Dawn. She stopped short, trying to decide if she was just going crazy or if that person had really just called her troublesome.

"Troublesome!" The person called again. Dawn gulped. Slowly, she turned around to face Paul.

"What?" She hissed, angry at him for interrupting her thinking process. Even though nothing was really happening up there, Dawn had just wanted to be alone today.

No such luck, she guessed.

"You're an idiot, Troublesome, you know that?" Paul asked her.

"Oh, hi to you too, Paul. How are you doing? I'm fine, thanks for not asking. Yeah. The weather's really nice, don't you think? I think it's going to rain. I like the rain a lot, don't you? Okay, now that we're past the small talk, is there something rude and inconsiderate that you'd like to tell me?" Dawn popped her hip and stared angrily at Paul.

"Oh, shut up Troublesome. You know you're stupid. At least, you're acting like it. I'm not sure why I'm wasting my time waiting for you, actually."

"Did you just come here to yell at me?"

"Yes!" Pau thundered, "You're acting like a two year old. You can't have us both, if that's why you were wondering."

"Then maybe I'll pick Lucas, if that's what you think about me!" Dawn was yelling, too, now.

They were standing in the middle of the park, yelling at each other. Dawn was sure people were staring. She didn't care anymore. She was so pissed at him.

You see me standing there, and act like you don't know me. But last night you were calling me, saying you want me. Oh, why you always make me feel like I'm the one that's crazy? You feel my heart racing, My-my heart racing.

Boy, I need you here with me. We can't go on this way. I'm falling hard for you. All I can say.

We're going round and round. We're never gonna stop going round and round. We'll never get where we are going. Round and round. Well your gonna miss me, 'cause I'm getting dizzy, Going round and round. Round and round.

"Okay, I get it, Paul!" Dawn yelled, "You don't want me! So, I'll go call Lucas and tell him he won! That he has me. Will that make you happy?"

The thunder clapped overhead. It was going to start raining soon. Dawn wanted to head home before she got caught in the rain, but had to finish her argument with Paul first.

You tried to pull me close, and whisper in my ear. You always told me lies. I cried out all my tears. I pushed my feelings to the side. But then you bring them back, B-bring them back. Now you got me singing.

Boy, I need you here with me. We can't go on this way. I'm falling hard for you, And all I can say.

"Yes, Troublesome! Yes, that would make me happy!" Paul spat, "Call your little boyfriend and tell him how much you want him back! Please do, you fucking cheater!"

"Don't call me that!" Dawn yelled, tears in her eyes, "You're the jerk here! Don't call me that!"

"Just go, Troublesome." Paul turned around so he wouldn't have to look at her anymore, "Just go home. The rain's coming soon. You don't want to mess up your perfect demeanor."

Love me or Love me not. I'm staring at the clock. I take them flower petals off. And then I watch them drop. Love me or Love me not. I'm starring at the clock
I take them flower petals off. And then I watch them drop.

Boy, I need you here with me. We cant go on this way. I'm falling hard for you. And all I can say.

We're going round and round. We're never gonna stop, going round and round. We'll never get where we are going. Round and round. Well your gonna miss me, 'cause I'm getting dizzy Going round and round.
Round and round.

Hours later, Dawn still hadn't called Lucas. She couldn't bring herself to. She had picked Paul the minute he first kissed her. There was no going back after that. Why she hadn't realized it earlier was beyond her.

But now it was too late. She couldn't have Paul. She now realized she wanted him, and she couldn't have him. Because she was stupid and she let him go.

The lightning crack loudly against her window.

And again.

And again. In a repeated way that started to sound less like thunder and lightning and rain and more like rocks. Being thrown against her windows.

Her curiosity peaked, Dawn looked out her window.

Paul chucked another rock at it, making Dawn jump. He was soaked to the bone, his purple hair hanging damply in his face. Dawn gapped at him for a moment, and then grabbed her umbrella and ran down the stairs.

She paused in front of the door for a moment, wondering what in the name of Mew he was doing outside her window, but she pushed open the door, opened her umbrella, and stepped out into the rhythmic beating of the rain.

"Are you mad?" Dawn yelled at him, holding her bright pink umbrella over her head. "You're going to catch a cold!"

"I'm not moving." Paul answered, soaking wet. Thunder clapped.

"Paul, seriously!" Dawn yelled. Her umbrella was not doing much for her. She was getting soaked too. "What are you even doing here?"

"Did you tell Lucas you picked him yet?" Paul asked, ignoring her question.

"I, no." Dawn was caught off guard, "Why?"

"Good." Paul's face stretched into the faint trace of a smile.

"What are you doing here Paul?" Dawn asked again.

"I made a mistake telling you did didn't want you, Dawn. And I'm not moving – no matter how sick I get – until you pick me. I…I love you, Dawn. I'm in love with you. I have been since you tripped over me the first day you came to this hellhole. I just didn't know it. And, fuck you, Dawn. You made me lose. And…I can't stand the idea of you with Lucas. So, you better pick me or I'm going to have to do something illegal to get you."

Dawn couldn't say anything. She stared at him, at this random outburst of emotion.

She took a step toward him, dropping her umbrella, and kissed him.

Her powers were gone the moment their lips meant.

Lucas would understand. This was true love.

And that clichéd kiss in the rain? Not so cliché.
