AN- NAWN! Thank you to all my awesome reviewers for voting on parings, especially the ones who voted for Nawn! And because we have come to this paring I want to give you the backstory of this fanfiction. Originally this was supposed to be a Nawn one shot, so it was only supposed to be this chapter. I wanted to do a Noah and Dawn meet thing and I came across the idea of Izzy switching up their sweaters somehow. Then I realized I could do something like this with Jock and thus this fanfiction of several one shots was born.

I've gotten a couple votes for pairings with Mal in them and I'm sorry to say I can't do them since Mal was never at the Playa. So I'm sorry I can't do them, I really am. This one will be pretty dialogue heavy since they never met. Sorry this has taken so long to up date but my education was in the way.

Takes place after Dawn's elimination in season 4.

Noah was sitting in his room doing what he did best, reading a book. He was board as always and wanted nothing more than to go home for once. Sure he would be in the company of his eight other annoying siblings but he would be away from the nut house. Noah was a usually board person but here at this resort he was especially board because he had no one to converse with. Even at his school he had a few friends who he could have an intelligent conversation with, but at the resort there was no one like him. Which Chris did on purpose of course, he had to form a group of the most different people ever to create "drama".

Even if Noah had a few things in common with people like Gwen, Courtney, Cody, and even Heather he didn't like them. People expected him to befriend the sanest people on the show. So it was a big surprise to everyone when his closest friends not only on the show but in general were the most insane. These actions from a person like Noah made people question him about his home life and his personality, but they were all people he couldn't stand. So he isolated himself from everyone by making himself a shield of sarcasm and cynicism.

His reading of The Book Thief was interrupted by a knock on his door. He was quite conferrable and the book was quite enjoyable so he didn't want to get up. The knocking didn't stop however, if anything it got louder and faster.

"If I don't make any noise maybe they'll go away eventually." he thought. But whoever was knocking clearly had no intention of going away anytime soon. So he very reluctantly got up and opened the door. To his great annoyance no one was there but a laundry basket with his clothes.

"You could have just left it here." he called to the hallway taking the basket in his room. It had his short pants, socks, white long shirts, his blue collared shirts, and...a green sweater instead of his red sweater vests. "Great." he thought sarcastically. He knew whom the sweater belonged to, even though he had never met her he had seen the sweater on her for five episodes.

Dawn sat on her bed in her room meditating as always. This time she didn't have on her casual moss green sweater on because it was being cleaned. So she had on her light purple tank top she always wore underneath on, her thoughts pondering on the game. She knew she wouldn't win, what she didn't expect was having Scott eliminate her. To her knowing the future all the time was boring, so once in a while she didn't read her tealeaves. "And look where that got me." she thought. True she was relived to get out of the game and acquainted herself with nicer people and non-mutant animals at the resort but she did want to help people on the show. She wanted to help Zoey with her and Mike, she wanted to help Mike with his MPD, she wanted to help Cameron with his adaption to the world, and she wanted to warn people about Scott. But she knew what would happen to him in the end and that it would help his aura. But the knock at her door interrupted her meditation, she opened it to Noah holding he green sweater.

"This came to my room." Said Noah, giving her the sweater. She took it from him, immediately recognizing him from the past seasons. She closed her eyes to read his aura to read one of the most interesting aura's she had ever read. It had gray, she already knew he was cynical from watching the show so that was no surprise. But there were some brighter colors that showed a nicer side she didn't expect, she could see that he was smart, usually board, unattached, and kind of nice. The part of him that was nice was slight but she could see it was there.

Noah, very creeped out waved his hand in front of her face and said, "Hello, earth to psychic." She opened her eyes and said, "Your aura is a great mixture of gray and orange."

"Uh, yeah okay, so were there any red sweater vests that came here because they didn't come to my room." He asked in an attempt to get back to his room.

"No, but I know that they will come in a little while, do you want to wait here?" She asked. He shrugged and said, "Sure why not." As they both walked in.

"Just so you know, I don't believe in all that aura reading stuff." He told her as she sat back on her bed in Indian style.

"I know," She responded, "Most people don't, I don't judge them. But it is real."

Noah rolled his eyes and responded, "If it's all real tell me something about myself that nobody knows."

"Alright, when you were six your father made you play soccer and you were the worst player on the team because you had no interest in sports and you weren't really coordinated for it. When you accidentally cost you're team a match they beat you up and you quit the team and vowed to never do sports again." She said with a slightly satisfied and amused look on her face. Noah just looked at her in shock and said, "Anyone could have..."

"Four of the people on your team were your brothers." She said to clarify it.

"Okay fine, the aura reading stuff is real. But I still don't believe in the whole reading the future stuff."

"That's alright, if you watch episode nine you will see my prediction about Dakota come true."

"We'll see Luna." He said, he wouldn't say it out loud but he was impressed with the moonchild. He also wouldn't admit that he had been hoping she would win next to Cameron. She seemed like the sort of interesting person he often acquainted himself with. And he felt genuinely sorry for her when Scott wrongfully eliminated her.

"You know I thought that that elimination was pretty harsh." He said trying to start conversation. Dawn looked at him and smiled at him, so this was the nicer part she saw in his aura.

"You went through the same thing, you know how it feels." She said shrugging. This was true both of them had realized the true intention of the season villain and got eliminated for knowing too much.

"Yeah, but I didn't get shoved into a bag and thrown off a radioactive island by a giant catapult." He said, "Seriously, you can sue for Chris almost drowning you."

"No, I'm not Courtney." She said, easing in to his joking manner. "Plus he's allowed to put our lives in danger as long as there's some possible way of survival. Otherwise he'd be sued by all of us for putting us in every challenge ever."

"Not counting the non-life-threatening ones in the first and second season." He said remembering how safe the challenges were back then compared to now. "But you can sue because he tried to kill you after you were eliminated. So technically he tried to kill you when you weren't in the game anymore. And if I'm not mistaken there's a phrase for that, oh yeah, attempted murder."

"That's true, but I'm not going to bother because Chris will be dealing with a heavy karma after the season. And if Chris isn't allowed to harm us after we're eliminated then how was the elimination process last season the drop of shame?" She asked trying to beat him at his own game of wit.

"Apparently the malfunctioning parachutes somehow qualified as safety equipment." Then he realized the first thing she said, "Wait what karma are you talking about?"

"I thought you didn't believe in all that "reading the future stuff."

"I never said I did, but I wouldn't care if my dog started walking on hind legs, speaking German if he told me Chris' karma would come."

"I don't know what's going to happen to him for sure but my tea leaves said that by the end of the season Chris' punishment would come." Noah looked a liv bmza1rtyttle happier at these words at the news of Chris getting a taste of his own medicine, and then he decided to ask her a question he had been wondering about since her elimination.

"So if you can predict the future how come you didn't see your elimination coming?" She just shrugged and said,

"Who said I didn't know." Noticing the weird look Noah was giving her she went on, "I knew I wasn't going to win but that doesn't mean I'm not going to get any money. Besides that's why I joined the show."

"How can you get money if you aren't going to win, Chris isn't going to bring you back. Even if you did go back in the game you wouldn't win, he would make sure his favorite player won. So you can't get money."

"My tea leaves said I would get money from the show. " She shrugged.

"Okay, you believe that this game was worth something in your life." He deadpanned, "So why did you join the show if you knew you weren't going to win?"

"To make friends," She then noticed the look on his face that said "are you kidding me?" and she explained more, "I never really had any human friends back home and I knew there would be people that would like me."

"I just came to show that people who are smart could be just as good as people who are athletic." He said without thinking. Dawn mentally smiled because he was finally opening up to her. He couldn't really understand why he was talking to her like this, but unlike anyone else he found her easier to talk to.

"You'll be happy at the end of the season." She said knowing how far Cameron would make it in the game. "What?" he asked, but Dawn just put her finger over her lip and he rolled his eyes in annoyance. "You came on the show to make friends to." She said to his surprise.

"No I didn't." He said firmly and quietly at the same time. Dawn felt kind of bad for knowing this fact about him that she knew he kept secret. So she came off her bed and stood next to him on the wall he was leaning on. She looked at him with her large gray-blue eyes at his face that was looking down at the floor. He didn't really want to make eye contact with her but he could feel her eyes looking at him with not pity but understanding. She put her pale hand on his shoulder and he looked up. And they just sat there on her floor in silence for a few moments before Noah said, "You're right."

"It must have been hard with all you're siblings to live with." She responded quietly.

"They all say that, they don't have to live as the youngest of nine and the stupid people at school who either pick on you or annoy you." He responded with a shrug.

"You know I could read your palms sometime."

"Alright then, it's better than sitting in my room all day reading."

"I didn't expect you would ever say something was better than reading." He slightly laughed instead of responding. Just then his red sweater vests were thrown at him, they looked at the place where they were thrown from. They saw the vent slightly cracked open and they both stood up.

"Umm, so." Noah said with his red sweater vests in his hands that were slightly sweaty.

"This was nice." Dawn said for him.

"Yeah, so I guess I should go now." He said hiding the disapointment in his voice.

"Maybe you could come back again sometime if you want to talk or if I could read you're palms."

"Yeah that would be good, maybe tomorrow." He said trying to hid the hope in his voice.

"Sure, see you tomorrow." She said closing her door as they waved goodbye and Noah walked to his room. Dawn lay on her bed pondering on their conversation instead of meditating on it. She looked at her ceiling smiling, knowing that his aura was much pinker than before and also knowing her aura was too.

Please, please review and vote on pairings. I'm sorry this took so long but I will try to do at least two a week. The next ones will probably be Jock or Gwent unless you guys want otherwise.
