Chapter 9

Last Time:

She smiled and happily walked out the door when suddenly…

I put my PokeNav away and stared out my window and waited for the right opportunity to make my move.

Dawn closed her eyes, smiled, and inhaled the fresh air. The next thing Dawn knew, she was being pinned against the stone wall of her house and a hand across her mouth. Dawn kept her eyes closed, afraid of what was happening. Soon she heard an extremely familiar voice, "Dawn, I am going to let go of your mouth but you cannot scream." Dawn knew who it was; she opened her eyes and wasn't surprised at the sight. Less than one foot away was Kenny. His eyes softened at the sight of his best friend and he let go of Dawn's mouth. He had her cornered between him and two other walls. "Dawn, you are going to listen to me whether you like it or not!" Kenny was about to open his mouth when Dawn suddenly interrupted him.

"Help me! I'm being raped!" Dawn yelled and she continued, "R-A-P-E, keep your hands away from me. No, no, not there. Don't you touch my no-no square!" Kenny looked around for someone who had heard his insane best friend. Although, he would admit she is a good actress. Kenny relaxed when he saw no one around. He turned back around and opened his mouth to speak to Dawn. He stopped and stiffened the minute he heard running steps. Kenny freaked out and ran back to his house like a scared puppy. Dawn took the opportunity and ran to the sidewalk where a neighbor came running. Dawn yelled out, "Mrs. Arrango! It's okay! I," Dawn paused to think of an excuse, "was just practicing. Just in case, you never know." Dawn ended her fumbling with a sheepish smile. Mrs. Arrango was a dark-haired brunette with chin length hair.

"Oh, okay. Well, don't do it so loud because a cop could believe you. Be careful and bye Dawn," Mrs. Arrango smiled and waved goodbye. I mirrored the movement and began to walk towards town.

With Kenny:

Kenny ran into his house and hurriedly shut the heavy, cherry wood door behind him. He put his back on the door and sighed. He ran a hand through his disheveled hair and slid down the door onto the floor. "That could have ended really badly," Kenny announced to no one in particular. Kenny slowly stood up and walked over to the couch. He flopped over and groaned, "Stupid Barry…" Kenny muttered in complaint. Kenny let his mind wander and he finally remembered something that could assist in his situation. He smirked as he remembered the memory. His smirk faded when he realized what he had to do: call Barry. Crap, Barry is going to kill me or worse, sue me…. Kenny groaned and rolled over and fell off the couch.

With Dawn:

Dawn skipped down the snow-covered path to the center of town. She smiled as she saw her favorite boutique: The Silver Sunshine. She looked the store once over and remembered the paradox of entire store. It was a fairly small square-shaped store. It had two shop windows. They practically took up the whole entire front of the store. It was painted a light gold to match the rest of the town center. Through the windows, one could see that the walls were all covered in mirrors and a chandelier hung from the middle of the ceiling. It sold both goth, modern, renaissance, and high-fashion clothes. Dawn strutted in through the glass door and let the warmth from the heater engulf her. It was a nice contrast compared to the chilly winter outside. She happily moved from rack to rack until she had both hands full of dresses, shirts, skirts and shoes. She nodded content with her choices and headed for the dressing rooms. After trying on many outfits, she finally decided on 3 outfits and checked out.

She headed back home and finally realized the time: 8pm. As if on cue, Dawn's stomach growled from skipping lunch and dinner. Dawn opened her fridge and pulled out some grilled shrimp her mom had left for her. She heated it up in her microwave and began to eat. Once she finished, she placed the dishes in the sink and headed up to her room with her shopping bags in tow. She dropped the shopping bags on the floor and changed into pajamas. She cuddled up with her pillow and fell asleep, happy with her successes of the day. A smile stayed etched on her face until a sudden dream hit her.

The "Dream"

Dawn's view scanned a small crowd of people on a lush green lawn. All of the people were dressed for a black tie event: with stunning dresses and the men in dress shirts and slacks. They were all seated on wooden, white chairs; they were in 7 neat rows. All the seats were taken by familiar people. In each row, there were 10 chairs. In the middle of the 10 chairs there was a large split. On the lawn, in the large aisle, was a pure white, soft and plush carpet. Dawn's view panned each person. From her point of view, the left section had many bluenettes. She saw her aunt Eve and her children. She saw her childhood friend Leona. She even saw Ursula! Lastly, she saw her own mother, with crystal tears flowing down her face onto her peach colored dress.

As her view shifted to the right section, she saw that guy that May was with: Drew. She even saw Paul to her surprise. Dawn felt some slight pain in her heart but before it got any worse, her view shifted to see Kenny's mom, crying just like her mom. The entire view shifted to a line of boys dressed in black suits with peach roses in their pockets. She smiled seeing one familiar face: Ash's face goofily grinning. The view shifted 180 degrees to see a line of ladies in peach dresses as well; all holding one peach rose. She recognized on girl especially: Misty. The view shifted once again to a man with blond hair and orange eyes: Barry. He had diamond tears forming in his eyes. The view shifted again to another girl, Dawn's best friend to be exact: May. Her brown locks were in an up do with a peach clip. She was holding many peach roses, three to be exact. She was wearing a fancier dress than all the rest of the girls and her dress was still peach.

Finally the view shifted to a young girl dress in the most stunning dress Dawn had ever seen. The young girl was holding hands with an unrecognizable man. A minister was holding a book and was speaking. The girl and boy were facing the minister and were under a white arch with ascending peach roses. The girl turned to face the boy, smiling. The girl was wearing a strapless white dress. The rounded neckline showed off her pearl necklace. Underneath her bust was a silver band with intricate peach beading. The dress flowed down to the floor in an a-line skirt. A slight train could be seen following the dress. The girl's silky hair was up in a bun with her longer layers framing her face in stunning curls. Her veil started under her bun and continued onto her shoulders. Barely visible on her feet were white strappy heels. Dawn studied the girl closer and recognized the girl as herself. The view began to shift over to the lucky young man until Dawn was shaken awake.

Dawn jolted up from the shaking. She rubbed her eyes and saw her mom standing there. Dawn looked at her clock and read the time: 3:29am. Dawn's mom smiled and began to speak, "Hi, sweetie. I'm home."

"Yeah, hi mom," Dawn barely mumbled before falling back over on her bed. Light breathing could be heard signaling Dawn had fallen asleep. Dawn mom shook her head and tucked her daughter in. She tucked a piece of Dawn's blue hair behind her ear. Johanna walked out of her daughter's room and went to bed. A few hours later, Dawn's face was lit with the rising sun's rays. Dawn stirred before slowly sitting up. She yawned, rubbed her eyes, and got out of bed. She used her bathroom before heading downstairs for some breakfast. An enticing aroma filled the entire house, including Dawn's nose. She inhaled and smiled at the scent of homemade cooking. She entered the kitchen and greeted her mother good morning. She sat down at one of the seats and her mother placed a white square plate in front of her. Johanna left and came back with a sizzling, black pan filled with French toast. Johanna placed two slices on her plate and left to put the pan back. Dawn eyed the food before frowning. "Mom? Where is the," Dawn asked before being interrupted.

"Powdered sugar? In the pantry and the syrup is in the fridge," Johanna replied without even looking at her daughter.

Dawn smiled,"Thank you, mom!" Dawn stood up and went to retrieve the powdered sugar and the syrup. She returned to her seat and sprinkled the powdered sugar over both pieces before adding at least 2 cups of syrup, per piece. Dawn quickly consumed the yummy and sugar coated toast. She said goodbye to her mom and headed upstairs. On her way up the stairs, she was running fairly fast and slipped on the wood. She fell face first into the cherry wood staircase before hitting her forehead on the ledge of the next step. She let out a groan and slowly proceeded to stand up. With her left hand, she held her head and with her right she held the railing of the stairs. She then slowly began to make her way to her bedroom. When she arrived to her room, Dawn fell forward on to her bed. She held her head in pain from the continuous pounding. After lying on her bed for a couple of minutes, she decided to get ready for the day.

She opened her closet and pulled out a purple turtleneck, a grey crew-cut dress that ended at her mid-thigh, a pair of brown tights, and a cream colored trench coat which had primary colors on it. She reached down below her clothes and pulled out gold sandals. She got dressed and spun around. She peaked into her mirror and eyed her outfit. She grinned in approval. She ducked down lower to view her hair just to see that it was sticking out in every direction. A long, high-pitched scream could be heard throughout the house, stopping Johanna's cooking. Dawn sat down at her vanity and began to pull her gold hair brush through her long azure hair. After 15 minutes, her hair was finally manageable. She began to walk out and she saw an old can of hair color which was left over from Halloween. She picked up the bottle, determined to throw it away, when the nozzle sprayed, silver sparkles could be seen in her hair. Another ear-splitting scream echoed throughout the house. Dawn gave up and threw the aerosol can onto the floor. She sauntered downstairs and sat at her kitchen table.

"Mom?"

"Yes, sweetie," Johanna responded while stirring a metal pot.

"Can dreams mean anything?" Dawn questioned while aimlessly making circles upon the table.

"Well, sure. Why do you ask?"

"Just because. I wanted to know."

"Well, give me an example."

"What does a wedding mean?" Dawn asked slyly.

"There is an old saying about dreaming about a wedding," Johanna placed a finger on her chin in thought.

"What is it?" Dawn interrogated further.

''Hm," Dawn's mother began, "I think it was that dreaming about a wedding is bad luck." Dawn eyes widened at this revelation. It explained all of her bad luck today: the tripping, the hair, and the aerosol can. "And ironically, dreaming about a death is a good thing."

"Okay, thanks, mom. I'll be going now," Dawn walked to her mother and kissed her on the cheek before walking out her front door. Dawn walked outside and shook her head. She was never one to believe in superstitions but she could tell that something terrible was heading her way.

So, do you like? Yes? No?

About the whole dream superstition thing, I heard it from my mom so yeah...
