Reviewer (just reading the story): AAHHGG!! Too much violence, body rejecting it!! (Suddenly explodes)
DeathlyNightshade: Okay, you will all survive, except that guy. (Grins sheepishly)

Dawn was getting ready for her first date with Shock. Rogue was fussing over her.
"Dawn, you should wear this top. Oh, no, wait, this one is better" said Rogue pulling various clothing items from Dawns draws. Rogue held them up one at a time next to Dawn. Each time shaking her head and reaching for another item.
"I'm fine, Rogue, thanks for helping, but I'm fine" said Dawn smiling. Rogue looked at Dawn.
"At least let me pick out one piece of clothing?" she asked. Dawn laughed and sat down on her bed.
"Okay, what top do you think?" Dawn said. Rogue smiled and started rummaging through the pile of clothes next to Dawn. Finding a top and holding it next to Dawn.
"I think this one will be great for your figure..." started Rogue.
Shock was nervous as he put on his clothes. Bobby and Greg, the other boy who shared the room, were giving him advice.
"Okay, man" began Greg looking at Shock "The first thing to remember is to complement her. Say something like, 'wow you look a lot skinnier than last week' that'll get a response out of her". Shock looked at him then nodded.
"Another thing" said Bobby "you might need these" Bobby handed Shock some un-used condoms.
"Okay" said Shock "that's gone far enough; I'm only on a first date. Not a sex run". Shock handed back the condoms. Shock stood and walked over to a small mirror on the wall. He started combing his already combed hair.
"Shock, you've already combed your hair" Bobby said. Shock put down the comb and stood in front of Greg and Bobby who were sitting on his bed.
"One last thing, this one is a classic, so always try it. It goes something like this" instructed Greg. Greg pretended to yawn; he reached out his arms and slyly put it on Bobby's shoulder. Shock nodded. He ran his hand through his hair.
"I'm just so nervous" he said.
"Hey, man, no sweat, we have all had first date jitters. It'll settle down soon and all shall be cool" said Grey. Shock picked up a rose from a glass next to him and started out the door.
"Okay, bye" said Shock. He stepped out and closed the door. Bobby and Greg sighed. Then Bobby realized Greg's arm was still slung over his shoulder. Bobby shook Greg off.
Shock was downstairs sitting on a couch. He was waiting for Dawn to come. He put his mind onto other things when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around and his eyes met Dawn's. She wore a black lace shirt with long sleeves; hers arms visible through the lace. Also she wore black jeans that fit her perfectly. Her hair was let loose apart from a bit of her fringe that was twisted and tied at the back. She only wore the tiniest amount of eye make-up. Overall, thought Shock, Dawn looked stunning. Dawn could say the same thing for Shock. His black tee-shirt had a grey design of a munted cross with the words Rejected printed in red. And of course his black pants and boots. Dawn was sure Shock smelt of cinnamon. (A/N ...?). Shock looked into Dawn's green eyes.
"You look beautiful" whispered Shock, taken aback.
"As do you" said Dawn smiling. Shock kept looking at Dawn.
"Oh, this is for you" he mumbled holding out the rose. Dawn took it and felt the petals.
"Its lovely Shock" said Dawn holding the flower.
"But be careful" said Shock "it has-" Dawn pricked her finger "thorns". A large drop of blood fell from Dawns finger. Dawn frowned and wiped it on her pants. Still the blood came. Shock lifted her finger and kissed it lightly.
"Alright you two, your making me sick, are you coming or what?" asked Logan. Logan had agreed to drive them to the movies and pick them up later. Dawn and Shock followed Logan through the mansion to the car park. They came to shiny red car, not too flashy; we might even go far enough to say it was a Holden (A/N GO HOLDENS!!!). Shock looked worried.
"Isn't this Scott's car?" asked Shock. Logan sighed.
"Is every car in this damn school Scott's?!?!" yelled Logan. Dawn looked at him strangely. Shock just opened the back door for Dawn and helped her in. Then he went around to the other side and hopped in with Dawn. Logan looked around and got into the drives seat and started the car. A Jessica Simpson song blurted from the speakers. All of them instantly put their hands over their ears. Logan reached and turned down the volume, then changed the stations.
"Who in god's name let Jessica Simpson out of hell?" asked Logan half to himself. He changed the station till he came to an ACDC song. Logan started singing it softly to himself as he eased the car out of her car park and they started towards New York. Logan's singing was soft until the song came to a catchy chorus then he sung at the top of his lungs...
After having to hear Logan sing many of the songs on the radio they came to the movie theaters. Dawn and Shock got out of the car.
"Alright you two, be good and no underage sex. Actually, don't worry about the last one, just use protection" said Logan, he drove away still singing to the songs. Shock blushed.
"Umm... Don't worry about him" said Shock.
"All I'm worried about is the effect of his bad singing" Dawn replied smiling. Shock steered Dawn inside the cinema lobby. It smelt beautifully of popcorn in there.
"You look a lot skinnier than last week" said Shock. Dawn gave him a strange look. "Umm... Okay, stay here for a second, I'll just get the tickets and food" said Shock. Dawn nodded and Shock joined the line to get tickets. Dawn looked around the lobby. They carpet was a dark blue in a vile design as to cover all stains made. The ceiling was also dark blue but it had small lights twinkling so that they looked like stars. There were movie posters on the walls and a large TV to show previews of movies. There were heaps of people. Mothers with ice-cream sticky children, teenagers in friend groups, young couples, old couples and someone Dawn didn't count on seeing. Linzi had walked in with a guy and they had started looking at movie times on a big screen that was set up. Dawn was sure she had seen him before. Then it hit her. It was Billy from Crypt Comix, that guy with greasy hair. Linzi, sensing something, looked around and say Dawn staring. Linzi started whispering with Billy and pointing to Dawn. Dawn just looked away. Shock had come back carrying large popcorn and two medium drinks. Dawn took the drinks off of him.
"Alright" said Shock "are you ready?" Dawn nodded, Shock smiled and they walked to the man collecting tickets.
"Two for Forbidden Zombie Love, cinema 6, third to your left, have a nice day" Said a man as he ripped the tickets. They walked to cinema 6. When they got in, there were only a few people in there including a couple heavily kissing in the back corner. Dawn and Shock went to the back middle seats and sat. Soft music was playing from the surround sound speakers placed around the cinema.
"I think the seats at the back are the best" said Shock putting some popcorn into his mouth.
"I wouldn't really know" said Dawn "the only time I've seen a movie in the cinema is when I snuck in". Shock and Dawn talked until the lights dimmed and went off. The screen came to life.
During the movie Shock fake yawned, stretched his arms and rested then behind Dawn's chair. He tried to lift them but he realized his arm was stuck to some bubble gum. Shock was trying with no prevail to pull his arm off. Thankfully Dawn was watching to movie intently. Suddenly his arm came loose and he fell sideway off his seat. Dawn looked at him strangely but turned back to the movie. Shock got back into his seat and disregarded all the advice that Greg and Bobby gave him. He was loosing all hope about getting close to Dawn until she rested her head on his shoulder and cuddled up to him. They stayed that way until the end of the movie.
Dawn and Shock walked out of the cinema talking about the movie and holding hands. Dawn saw Linzi out the corner of her eye. She turned her head and watched her. Linzi was also walking out of the cinema, but without Billy and she had little mascara tears down her eyes. Linzi had been crying. Dawn felt pity for Linzi for a split second, but then she thought about everything Linzi, Nicole and Becky did to her. Dawn got taken out of her thoughts by Shock saying:
"Okay, Dawn, now for some fine American food". When they were outside the night was filled with neon signs and bustling people as Shock and Dawn walked past hand in hand. Dawn was amazed to see how New York changed at night. There were people playing jazz music on the sidewalk to get some money. In their hat were a few coins. Shock took some money and threw it in. The saxophone player tipped his hat at Shock and kept playing. Shock and Dawn kept on walking. Even though it was night people hurried everywhere. Dawn looked up at the tall skyscrapers as they passed them. Everything amazed her. Shock pulled Dawn into a small restaurant that was warm compared to the chill outside. Inside the walls were painted a rusty red. The seats were red leather and on the walls were pictures of movie stars. A small juke box was playing in the corner. There was a pleasant noise of people talking. Shock guided Dawn to an empty seat. They both looked at the menus.
"So what you like about the movie?" asked Shock after they had ordered.
"I thought it was great" said Dawn "I liked the bit when..." she trailed off. She saw Logan enter the restaurant. He was carrying a bag. Logan looked around and spotted them. He walked over to them and sat down next to Shock.
"Hey, I've come to pick you up... But it seems like you haven't finished yet" he said as a waitress brought Dawn and Shock their food.
"Don't worry, we'll just quickly eat this" said Shock taking a bite of his hamburger (A/N Yay! Hamburger! Yummy). Logan ordered some hot chips.
"What's in your bag, Logan" asked Dawn, pointing to Logan's bag on the ground.
"Oh, just some personal stuff one of my friends gave back" said Logan. Logan's food arrived and they all ate and talked till they had to leave.
They all walked out of the restaurant into the cold night.
"The cars just over he......"
Suddenly, a person snatched Logan's bag and took off running. Logan looked shocked for a second then he started running after the person.
"Damn, punk, give that back" he yelled
"Common, Dawn, we have to follow" said Shock taking Dawn's hand and weaving in and out of the crowd trying to catch up with Logan. They chased for a minute leaving the busy city and into the deserted backstreets. Logan was far ahead when he darted into a dark alleyway. Dawn and Shock stopped for a second to catch their breath. There was a loud "thump" from the alleyway. Dawn and Shock thought Logan had punched someone. They both went into the alleyway thinking to be greeted by Logan. But instead they saw Logan on the ground.
"Oh my god" said Dawn out aloud. Shock run over to Logan and checked him out.
"He's okay, just knocked out" said Shock still looking over Logan. Dawn was worried.
"Shock, I don't like this" said Dawn shakily. A person came out of the shadows and violently pushed Dawn back into the wall. Shock looked around and stood up.
"Leave her alone" he yelled. In a few steps was pulling the attacker off Dawn punching him in the face.
"Big mistake" said the man holding his throbbing face. Shock got pulled off by three other men. He was twisting and trying to get free. Dawn got a good look at the man that had pushed her. He had black hair that was carelessly combed around his face. His pale skin was highlighted by his black clothes. He wore a sneer on his face as he walked slowly back to Dawn. He couldn't be more than 25.
"Well, well, well, what have we here? A pretty girl" he said lifting a strand of Dawn's hair and letting it fall. Dawn stared to run but the man grabbed her wrist and twisted it. Dawn yelped in pain. He placed her wrist on the wall so she was pinned and couldn't move. Dawn saw, out the corner of her eye, more men coming. They crowded around Shock.
"Please, I have nothing to take, please leave us alone" pleaded Dawn. The man snickered and put his lips close to her ear.
"But you do have something for the taking, something everyone of us can have" He said sliding a finger down her cheek. Dawn's eyes widened as she realized what he meant. She tried struggling but with no use. Shock, also hearing what was said, started again to struggle. He broke free, running to Dawn when the attacker turned around and punched him. Shock got knocked back a bit, two men taking his arms.
"You'll regret this" said Shock acidly. The attacker laughed.
"What are you going to do? You have no one to help and your as scrawny as shit" he said. The men also started laughing. Shock started getting angrier. Small electric sparks were coming off his hair and hands.
"I might not need any help". The men holding Shock started to jolt violently and froth at the mouth. Their grip came off as they fell to the floor still withering. All the other men looked confused.
"What the hell?" said the attacker silently, still holding Dawn. Shock had long electric sparks winding up half his arm. When a few other men tried to grab him they slid the floor in withering heaps. Shock threw a bolt of electricity at a few men. The bolt lit up the alleyway as it hit the men making sparks shoot everywhere. The attacker grabbed Dawn and hurriedly pushed her out of the alley. Dawn again struggled. The attacker hit her across the face. Dawn didn't know what to do, everything was going too fast for her to think.
"Don't hurt my girlfriend!" The attacker slowly turned around. Shock was standing before him, all the men behind him laying down, some convulsing. Shock's hair was giving off small sparks and his hands were full with balls of electricity, coils of it winding up his arms. The attacker looked scared. He flung Dawn down, unknowingly on some broken glass. He started running. Shock was about to unleash his power when a person quickly ran past Shock and jumped on the back of the attacker. The attacker swerved into another ally, the person on his back extended his claws and sliced him in the back. Logan got off the attacker (A/N Do we have a better name for him other than the attacker?) and started to walk back to Shock.
"Wow, that sucked" he said. Shock turned around and helped Dawn up. She had cuts everywhere and even glass sticking out of some of them.
"I'm so sorry that I didn't help you, Shock, I couldn't think of what to do" said Dawn sadly. Shock looked at Dawn the pulled her into a hug, careful of the glass.
"Don't worry, Dawn, it wasn't your fault" he said soothingly.
"You two stay here, I'll quickly get the car" said Logan, he picked up his bag and jogged off. Shock helped Dawn to sit on the side walk. He put his arm around her till Logan came. They both got into the car and drove back to the school.

I'm sorry about the shortness of the last chapter and the lame things Shock gets put through. Also their first date may be kind of crappy, but I don't know what happens on dates because I've never been on one.

I have to have this Harry Potter rant....
I've been reading some Harry Potter stories and I hate it when they have Draco/Ginny pairings... This is wrong since they ARE distant cousins. They are cousin's people, it's wrong, so don't pair them up...
I guess it is your Harry Potter story so you can do whatever you want. You will have to live with the fact that Draco and Ginny are cousins.
.....
I'm sad, I don't get any e-mails.... That's why you have to review (cough).... REVIEW NOW!!!
