OK, new thing. Explanation at the bottom. Without further ado: Dawn and Scott (Dott) singing Fireflies.
Dawn's P.O.V.
I let out another yawn, tiredly rubbing my eyes, despite it already being past noon and I was at school.
"Are you OK? You've been yawning all morning. Did you get enough sleep last night?" Scott worried over me.
"No, I'm fine don't worry." I gave him a reassuring smile.
"I don't buy it. What's wrong?"
"I guess I have been having trouble sleeping for a while. But-"
"What's keeping you from sleeping?"
I smiled. "You know what? I'll show you later."
"Where are we going?" Scott asked as I pulled him away.
"I want to show you something."
"But why is it in the woods? I feel like something's going to jump out and attack us."
I rolled my eyes. "Relax. Fang's not out here and I know this place like the palm of my hand. Plus, it's not even sunset yet." I giggled.
Scott ignored my last remark. "Isn't the saying, 'Like the back of my hand?'"
"How well do you know the back of your hand?" I stopped in the middle of a clearing, right below my tree house.
"Touché." He smirked. "Now, where are we?"
"Come on!" I climbed up the ladder and turned towards the setting sun at the top.
Scott made it up and turned towards the wide range of colors displayed before us.
"Isn't it beautiful?" I held my hands together at my chest.
"Yeah." I didn't dare turn to see where he was facing. "But that doesn't explain why you're so tired."
My predicament reminded me of a certain song I had heard a while ago. "You would not believe your eyes, if ten million fireflies lit up the world as I fell asleep."
"I know that song." Scott said when I stopped.
I smiled and decided to continue. "'Cause they'd fill the open air and leave teardrops everywhere."
"You'd think me rude, but I would just stand and stare," He sang. I laughed at his singing voice. The first one of them appeared. It was early, yes, but it was also perfect for the moment.
"I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly."
Just as slow, they decided to appear. There light was soon the only thing that let me see Scott. There was almost no moon light, considering there was no moon.
Scott joined in on the next line. "It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep. 'Cause everything is never as it seems."
We both burst into laughter. We were laughing at how ridiculous we were.
"Wait, wait! The song's not over yet." I said as I tried to think of the next part. "'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs from ten million lightning bugs-"
"As I try to teach you how to dance." Scott grabbed my hand and twirled me around.
I pushed a his chest, grinning. "A foxtrot above my head, a sock hop beneath my head. A disco ball is just hanging by a thread."
Scott held up a finger and went down to the ground again. Moments later he returned with a basketball. He grabbed some string and tied the ball to a tree branch. "There." He patted the ball. "A disco ball."
I reached up and twirled the basketball around slowly. "I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly." Scott quickly joined in. "It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep. 'Cause everything is never as it seems, when I fall asleep."
Scott grabbed me and pulled me into a hug.
"It's still not over." I reminded him, pulling away. "I leave my door open just a crack."
"Please take me away from here." Scott sang.
"'Cause I feel like such an insomniac."
"Please take me away from here."
"Why do I tire of counting sheep?"
"Please take me away from here."
"When I'm far too tired to fall asleep!" I let Scott pick me up and twirl me around.
"To ten million fireflies..." Scott started off.
"I'm weird because I hate good-byes." I continued.
Both of us sang, "I got misty eyes as they said farewell."
We stopped and caught our breath. We were both grinning like idiots, only able to gaze at each other through the fog of lightning bugs.
Quietly, I sang, "But I'll know where several are, if my dreams get real bizarre-"
"'Cause I saved a few, but I set them free." He changed the lyrics.
"But that's not how-" I tried protesting.
Scott shrugged. "I figured you'd like it like that better."
I smiled and nodded. "Yeah... but the song-"
"Isn't over! I get it." He grinned.
"I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly. It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep. 'Cause everything is never as it seems." We sang twice.
In my head, I heard the song continue. 'I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly. It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep.'
"Because my dreams are bursting at the seams." I say in almost another world. This time the song is finished. Scott starts to lean down to me...
.
.
And I open my eyes. I sit up from my bed and look at my lap. To my surprise, a firefly is sitting here. I lift it up on my finger and it flies.
"My dreams of fireflies are why I have a hard time sleeping."
OK, so not everyone's going to be a fan of Dott, but this isn't just this couple. I am starting a new project. In a review, you can submit a couple a song. It can even be a couple I have written about before in thsi series, or a song, just not the same combination. For example, you can ask for another story with Scott and Dawn, as long as you don't ask for the song Fireflies by Owl City, and vice-versa.
I am really excited for this, so if you have any idea for a story please put it in a review (Also, an actual review would be nice along with it! :D)
Thank you for reading!
