Chapter 27 – Will you still love me?

It was the final month of May's, Misty's, Dawn's, Paul's, Ash's, Drew's and Lucas's final year in high school. Their graduation ceremony is just two days away, everyone was in the living room in May's, Misty's, Paul's and Lucas's place however, Lucas was called for help at their company and left three lovebirds.

"So... Ash you're planning to be a game designer?" Paul asked

"Yeah! It has always been my dream" Ash replied

"What about you Dawn? You're good at fashion, are you going to be a fashion designer?" May asked

"Haha… no, I'm going to be a make-up artist and I would love to do make-ups on the both of you" Dawn replied

"Not me?" Paul asked

"… I don't think guys put make-up on just a simple foundation" Dawn replied. Paul sweatdropped which caused Drew and Ash to stifle their laugh. Paul noticed this and grabbed the two of them and them high in the air. Drew got tick marks and wrapped his legs on Paul's arm and did a flip causing Paul to fall and let go of them both.

There was a large crash sound and the girls continued to chat and the servants continued to do their jobs. "Alright, Hayden you're asking for this!" Paul said as he glared at Drew, Drew dusted himself and looked at Paul with a smirk.

"Bring it on Shinji" Drew replied and a fight broke out between the two.

"What about you May and Misty? What are you going to do?" Dawn asked ignoring the fight that is happening.

"I guess we're just going to continue our modelling job as well as doing another job" May replied.

"Yeah… I might work on game design as well since that was what my dad did" Misty explained.

"What about you May?" Dawn asked.

"My dad was just the boss along with Misty's and Paul's dads as well, my mom was a fashion designer so I guess I'll be following her path" May explained. Dawn nodded in understanding and Ash came back to join them as new foods were delivered.

Dawn and Ash were talking about the university that they are going and May and Misty were looking through a magazine that Reggie made and is asking them for their opinions. The fight between Paul and Drew continued and both sides had already started using their powers against each other but they mostly fight in their animal form.

Dawn suddenly went quiet and May and Misty looked at her with concern. "Is something wrong Dawn?" May asked.

"Umm… girls I want to talk to you two alone" Dawn said. Misty and May nodded and got up and went upstairs leaving Ash with two friends still fighting with one another.

"Can you please stop, you guys are actually childish at the moment?" Ash said as he took another big bite of a cake.

Drew and Paul looked at him and noticed that the girls were gone. "Where are the girls?" Paul asked as he transformed back into his usual self.

"They went upstairs talking about something serious" Ash replied

"Serious? Like what?" Drew asked when he transformed back.

Ash didn't reply and Drew and Paul looked at each other with curiosity.


"What's the matter, Dawn?" Misty asked once they reached to Misty's room.

"You all know that I truly love Paul right?" Dawn asked

"Yeah of course" May answered

"But considering the fact that I'm a human and he's a vampire our lifespan is completely different, he can live for more than a century but I can't live that long" Dawn explained. May and Misty noticed where she is going but they don't know what to say but waited for Dawn to continue.

"I don't want to transform into a vampire because there's so many delicious food that I haven't ate before and I want to live a normal life. No offense girls but I… I-" May pulled Dawn into a hug and consoled her.

"We understand Dawn and none taken."

"You'll need to tell Paul about this, Ash already told me about it" Misty said.

"What have you guys decided?" Dawn asked even May looked at Misty with curious.

"He has a similar concept like yours Dawn but mainly focused on food" Misty replied as she sat on her bed. Dawn and May cracked a laugh since they all know that Ash have a thing for food.


"I see…" Paul said when Ash finished telling Paul what was on Dawn's mind.

"So now what Paul? I've gotta say Dawn and Ash are right" Drew asked. Paul thought for a second and smirked.

"The two of you are coming with me" Paul said and left to get his bracelet on and threw one to Drew.

"Mind telling us where you're all going?" May asked.

The guys turned around and Paul just said "Somewhere" and dragged Ash and Drew out of the mansion.

"What just happened?" Misty asked. May shrugged and the girls went downstairs to the living room to watch TV.


On the day of graduation prom…

Three guys were waiting semi-patiently for their girlfriends. The prom was about to start in an hour but the girls are still upstairs changing and they've been upstairs for more than 3 hours. "NO! I AM DEFINITATELY NOT NOT GOING TO WEAR THAT!" The three boys heard Misty scream, they heard the door opened and before they could go up to see what is happening they heard May shouting an order "CLAIR! WINONA! GRAB HOLD OF MISTY! AND BRING HER BACK!"

"NO I AM NOT GOING TO WEAR THAT!" Misty shouted back

"COME ON MISTY! JUST THIS ONCE YOU WERE FINE WITH IT WHEN YOU HAVE TO DO THE PHOTO SHOOT!" Dawn exclaimed.

"MODELING AND THIS ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!"

"MISTY WATERFLOWER I COMMAND YOU TO COME BACK HERE RIGHT NOW BY THE ORDER OF THE LORD!" May commanded. Drew and Paul sweatdropped at this and heard another complaint from Misty and the door closed again.

"Man… how long are they going to take!?" Ash complained as he fell back onto the couch.

"Who knows man, they're girls obviously" Drew replied.

"Ahem" Someone cleared their throat, the three boys turned around to see Lucas who smiled.

"Allow me to present your dates." Lucas said as he walked to the side of the stairs and the boys saw the hallway and shrugged and walked out of the living room and looked at the stairs, they then heard the sound of footsteps gracefully making their way towards them.


"First off, our lovely Lord May Maple" Lucas introduced, May walked down and Drew couldn't help but stare at her. May was wearing a one shoulder red dress that shows her curves with a few roses on the shoulder, wearing a beautiful black high heels that shines when hit by the light, with her hair tied to a low braided ponytail and rested on her shoulder. May saw Drew and smiled at him, Drew smiled back and made his way to the stairs as May walked down. When she reached to the set of stairs Drew held out his hand and asked "May I escort my lady?"

May giggled and put her hand in his and said "You have the honour to do so" Drew smiled and brought May downstairs.

"So, how do I look?" May asked.

"You look stunning, just… that there's something missing" Drew replied

"Oh? And what is that?" May asked quirking her eyebrow

Drew smirked and said "This" he took out a rose from god knows where and place it in May's ear where her hair is.

"There much better" Drew said, May blushed and stood beside him. Drew wrapped his arm around May and pulled her in for a side hug.

"Next we have Misty Waterflower" Lucas introduced.

Misty walked out and Ash started to stare at her with his mouth open. Misty was wearing a beautiful sleeveless cerulean blue mermaid dress and some beautiful shining diamonds on her waist, she was wearing a white ribbon high heels, her hair was down and wavy at the end and in her hear there were two pearl hair clips to keep her hair out of her eyes.

When Misty reached to the floor where all the guys are standing she blushed madly while she looked at Ash.

"So… so? How do I look?" Misty asked

"You look beautiful… Ah! Err… I mean… umm… You look stunning… NO! That's not the word! You look fabulous! ARGH! That's not the word either!" Ash tried to compliment Misty and Misty and May giggled as well as the guys chuckled at his reaction.

"Well… Mist, you look beautiful and nothing beats your beauty" Ash finally commented, Misty blushed harder and stood beside him and glanced at the stairs.

"Last but not least, my very own cousin, Dawn Berlitz. And I'm warning you Paul, if you dare make her cry you shall pay" Lucas said as he glared at Paul. Paul scoffed and rolled his eyes, knowing that he will never let HIS Dawn cry. Dawn came out wearing a long pink cowl neck dress, it was plain and yet simple. Her hair was down and she wore a simple white high heels and walked down the stairs.

Paul walked towards her when she reached their ground level and Dawn smiled shyly and asked "I look different don't I?"

"You do, but it doesn't change the fact that you're MY troublesome" Paul replied, Dawn pouted and Paul chuckled and peck on her cheek and said "You're lovely Troublesome"

Dawn couldn't help but smile at him and soon the three couples and one light bulb (Lucas) left the mansion to go to the inside gym of their school where the graduation party is taking place.


Everyone was having fun and Dawn had the opportunity to dance with Drew, Ash and Lucas. She found it weird that Paul didn't even dance with her, not even once when they have reached to the area which made her sad. She and her friends May and Misty were taking a break and was at the resting area drinking their drinks until a slow romantic song came on. Drew went to ask May for around of a dance and Ash asked Misty, leaving Dawn all alone. Lucas walked up to her and smiled.

"Hey" Lucas greeted

"Hey Damon" Dawn greeted back.

"Care to give me another round of dance?" Lucas asked as he held out his hand

"Nah, I'll pass"

"Don't be like that, I'm trying to save you from Conway" Lucas replied and used his eyes to tell her to turn her head around on the right to see Conway making his way to her.

"On the second thought… I think I shall. Thank you" Dawn changed her mind and placed her hand in his and Lucas led her to the dance floor. Dawn was having so much fun and when she turned her back on Lucas, Lucas took this chance to switch out with someone.

"Seems like you're having fun" A voice stated.

Dawn spun around and her eyes went wide to see her boyfriend was the one dancing with her now instead of her cousin.

"Paul!? Where were you all this time?" Dawn asked as they did their slow dance

"I was busy" Paul replied

"Busy on what?" Dawn inquired.

"On this" Paul said as he took his arm away and Dawn fully turned around and saw Paul went on one knee. This action caused many people on the dance floor to stop and turn around to see what is happening as well as the music has stopped.

Dawn gasped to say the least that she covered her mouth when her boyfriend brought out a black velvet box and opened it to reveal a princess cut diamond ring sitting in there shining brightly.

"P… Paul…" Dawn said.

"I love you very much Dawn, and before the time can break us apart. Would you do me the honor of being my wife?" Paul asked.

"I… I… Wi-"

"And don't you dare ask me 'Will you still love me even when I'm old and wrinkled' because nothing will change my love for you" Paul cut in Dawn's line. Dawn had tears in her eyes and slowly nodded.

"Yes… Yes… I would love to be your wife" Dawn replied, Paul gave a small smile and got up and Dawn hugged him while he hugged back. Cheers and whistles were going around congratulating the soon to be wedded fiancés. Paul let go of Dawn and so did Dawn, he then slipped the ring onto her ring finger and their forehead touched.

For the rest of the night, Dawn and Paul were dancing to lots of songs and Dawn was smiling a lot which caused Paul to let out a small smile.


In the corner of the dance room…

"So Ash, when are you going to ask?" Drew asked

"Hehe~ Soon" was all Ash replied as he watches his favorite vampire sitting with her best friend chatting away.

"And when's your wedding?" Ash asked back

Drew did his famous hair flip and replied "We still have time, I guess when you and Dawn finish uni"

"You know" May said as she and Misty walked up to them.

"What?" Ash asked

"Dawn said 'Scratch uni! I'm going to get married right after the graduation'" Misty told them

Drew and Ash stared at them with their mouths open not believing in what May and Misty told them. May quirked her eyebrow and Drew snapped himself out of his daze and asked "Then what did Paul say?"

"Hmm… he said -"

"As long as Dawn's happy with it then it's fine" Lucas cut in May's line. Drew and Ash looked at each other and grinned.

"Then I guess it can't be helped, the wedding will soon take place" Ash stated. Everyone nod and started to laugh.

It was a tough journey for both the vampires and the humans. But no matter which species is stronger, love will beat the physical power the most. The vampires has finally reached their goal and they are all aiming to keep this goal going for as long as they live.
