Full Summary: Misty loves Ash. Simple, right? Well, no, not really, because May also loves Ash, but Ash has a crush on Dawn and Drew is fawning over May. Leaf is smitten with Drew, but is also likes Paul, Liam and almost everyone except for Gary, who has a crush on her! And poor Dawn is helplessly in love with Paul who doesn't notice her. Meanwhile, Liam likes Katrina, but he's too terrified to tell her! So when a school trip comes up, can this love tangle sort itself out?
Basically, a confusing twisty, knotty thing with a load of pairings. Kinda cheesy and silly…but it entertains me. Heh. Pairings will end up as:
AshxMisty
DrewxMay
PaulxDawn
GaryxLeaf
LiamxKatrina (OC/OC)
Other pairings mentioned or half used as part of the tangle include, but may not be limited to, AshxMay, AshxDawn, LeafxPaul, LeafxDrew, LeafxLiam. (Yeah, a lot of Leafx?s)
I don't own Pokémon, unfortunately, or any characters apart from Katrina and Liam. Mwahahaha.
Beep! Beep!
"Nyeh…"
Beep! Beep!
"Ugh…"
Beep! Beep!
"Jus' a little longer…"
Beep! Beep!
"MAY! Wake up!"
"AH!" May screamed as a glass of water was dumped on her head. With wet strands of hair clinging to her face, she sat up, growling, her cheeks flushed with rage. "You're gonna pay, ya little pipsqueak!" she yelled, throwing her bed covers off and chasing after her little brother who was speeding out of the room.
"May, honey. Good to see you up!" Caroline smiled as her daughter ran into the kitchen shortly after Max.
"Only overslept by fifteen minutes," Norman added, peering at her over his newspaper.
"Overslept…" May blinked a few times, her face clouded with confusion until it finally dawned on her. "School!" she yelped in horror. She grabbed some toast from the table, accompanied by an annoyed shriek from Max as it had been from his plate, and threw herself up the stairs to get ready.
Twenty minutes later, May and Max were outside, walking down the street to the bus stop. They had recently moved to the area, and so today was their first day at their new school. There were only a few people at the bus stop. A couple were Max's age, or there about, whilst the others were May's age, one of whom was a boy with jet-black hair and brown eyes. A cap was jammed on his head, raven locks sticking out messily at odd angles.
May smiled and, assuming he went to her school, said, "Hi, do you go to Totehall?"
"Yep!" the boy said cheerfully, grinning. "I'm Ash, Ash Ketchum."
"I'm May. I'm new."
"Really? Well…if you like, I could show you around when we get there. I'll introduce you to my friends," Ash offered generously.
"Really?" May asked, surprised at his initial kindness. "That would be great, thanks!"
When the bus came, May found herself seated next to Ash, much to her delight but to the annoyance of Max who was forced to sit by a chatterbox of a kid who went by the name of Fred.
The next bus stop saw the arrival of a slender girl with orange hair tied to the side and sea green eyes. She was smiling happily until she saw May sitting next to Ash, and her grin dropped like a stone.
"Hi Ash…and Ash's friend…" she said, her eyes whizzing between the two as she sat in the seat in front of them.
"Hey Mist! This is May, she's new to Totehall. I said I'd show her around once we get there."
"Oh…that's kind of you, Ash," Misty commented, looking back at May. She put on a smile and held out her hand. "Misty Waterflower."
"May Maple. It's nice to meet you, Misty."
"Yeah, same here."
When the bus finally made it to the school building, there were only fifteen minutes left until the students would have to go in for form/homeroom. Max quickly rejoined May as soon as they were off the bus, his usually neat hair somewhat messy and his skin, pale.
"I can't take it!" he yelped. "If I have to hear about Jack or Liz one more time, I'll go mad!"
"Jack and Liz?" May questioned, looking at him curiously as Ash and Misty peered at him from behind her.
"Some characters from a second-rate TV show," Max grumbled, adjusting his glasses. It was then that he noticed the two kids May was with and grinned nervously. "Uhh…hi!"
"Hello, there," Misty said with a smile.
"Oh…um, this is my brother, Max," May said awkwardly, glancing back at her new friends.
"So, you're the 'little brat' who chucked water on May this morning," Ash commented. Max froze.
"Uh…heheheh…"
A few minutes later, a girl with a head of blue hair ran through the gates to school, breathing deeply as she adjusted one of the golden clips in her hair.
"Hey Dawn!" Ash called with a goofy grin, seeing her across the courtyard. The girl, Dawn, looked over at him and flashed him a quick smile before leaning against the fence and looking at the road expectantly. She quickly looked away again a few seconds later whilst fixing the smile on her face.
Misty rolled her eyes. "Here we go again…"
Right on cue, a boy with purple hair that fell into his eyes walked through the gate, his hands buried deep in his pockets. Dawn's eyes were fixated on the boy, an intoxicated look on her face as he got closer and closer to her…and then got further and further as he went straight past without so much as a glance. Dawn sighed and her shoulders slumped in disappointment.
She slowly slouched her way over to Misty, Ash, May and Max, looking quite sad. "What will it take for him to notice me? Do I need to dance naked in front of him with neon pink pom-poms?"
"You could try…" Ash said coyly, only to be smacked by Misty. "Or not. Just forget about him, Dawn. If he's not noticed you yet, he's not worth it…"
"Maybe…maybe he's just…nervous? He secretly does love me, I know it, and I just need to get him to open up and admit it!" Dawn said, completely convinced by herself. Ash shook his head.
"If he did love you, he would've done something by now," he said softly, smiling gently at her. Dawn shook her head.
"No. He's just shy, I'm sure of it…oh, hello!" She grinned at May and Max, only just noticing them.
"Oh, hi! I'm May!"
"I'm Max."
"Hey, Max," May said, "why don't you go hang with your own friends?"
"I just got here! I don't know anyone yet!"
"What about the Jack and Liz fan?"
"No way!" Max exclaimed, his arm movements showing his statement was final. May rolled her eyes when the group heard a call from somewhere across the courtyard.
"HEY! MAXIE!"
"Aw great…" Max mumbled, glancing over at the caller over his shoulder. "Fred again…maybe he's not seen me…" The look of hope on Max's face quickly disappeared as 'Fred' – a boy with powder blue hair and violet eyes - began walking over. "Or maybe not…"
"Ah, go on, Max! He can't be that bad!" May laughed, pushing his shoulder lightly, urging him toward Fred.
"Oh yes he can," Max said stubbornly, digging his heels into the ground. "Don't make me go back…please!"
"Play time, Maxie," May teased, giving him a firm shove. Max stumbled forward and was about to scramble back when someone grabbed his arm. He twisted his head around in alarm to see Fred holding his wrist.
"C'mon, Maxie! Gill says he can lend you the first and second series of Valorie Hill!
"Ode to joy…" Max sighed as he was dragged away. He sent a pleading glance over his shoulder at his sister, but May only smiled and waved as he was taken to his doom.
"They grow up so fast," May commented with a giggle.
"I wish I had a little brother or sister," Misty said wistfully. "I'm the youngest of four children. It sucks."
"At least you actually have siblings," Dawn mumbled.
"Hey, who needs siblings when you've got friends?" Ash said brightly, shrugging.
"Hm, I need to get my timetable and stuff," May suddenly realised. "Ash, could you come with me? Show me where to get it?"
"Uh, sure!" Ash replied.
"I'll come too!" Misty blurted out, running after the two as they started walking off.
Dawn stared at them before squeaking in horror, "Don't leave me alone!" and running after them.
Time skip to break
May, Misty, Dawn and Max were crowded around a rectangular table in the school cafeteria. The space around them was ridiculously over crowded, and there were still lots more students outside, pressing their faces against the windows, trying to get in from the cold.
"The canteen's a little…cramped, don't you think?" May said, looking around uncomfortably.
"'A little' is an understatement," Max grumbled, his head ducked as he glanced around for Fred and Gill, hoping they wouldn't see him. "Still, at least I won't be found he-"
"Maxie! There you are! You forgot the DVDs!" a voice exclaimed, causing Max to leap into the air in surprise.
"AH!"
"Come on! You can eat at our table!" Fred grinned, grabbing Max's arm and dragging him away. Max tried in vain to hold on to the table, but when Gill – who had silvery hair and misty green eyes - took a hold of his other arm he was wrenched off and taken away through the crowds.
May laughed as she watched him go. "Good to see he's made some friends already!"
"Yeah," Misty agreed. "So, how was double maths?"
"I don't want to speak of it…ever again…" May mumbled.
"That bad, hm? Dawn?" Misty looked over at Dawn for some input, as she'd had maths with May, but the blue-haired girl was staring at something – or someone – across the cafeteria. "Dawn!"
"Ah! Huh? What?"
"Were you staring at Paul again?"
"…No…" Dawn pressed the tips of her fingers together nervously, a sheepish grin on her face. When she realised Misty didn't believe her, she sighed. "Yeah…I was…"
"Why don't you just go and talk to him?" May asked.
"Because whenever I do, something bad happens! Like I trip over or drop my things or my bag breaks! And then he just rolls his eyes, tilts his head slightly, sighs, calls me troublesome and walks off, slipping his right hand into his pocket a few seconds before doing the same with his left."
"…Okay…" May blinked, amazed by the amount of detail Dawn gave. "That bad, huh?"
"Yeah…but I won't give up! I'll have him!" Dawn promised, seconds away from standing up and slamming her hand on the table. Luckily, Ash came before those seconds could pass.
"Hey guys!" he said with a grin. "Hey Dawn, something wrong?"
"Hey Ash…" May and Misty sang at the same time.
Dawn raised her eyebrows at them before replying to Ash, "No…"
"You sure? If something's wrong, you know you can tell me, Dawn," he said to her softly with a gentle smile as he placed his hand on her arm.
"Yeah…well…it's just Paul, I can't stop thinking about him!"
Ash's expression went sour. "Him again?"
"It's always him, Ash," Misty laughed.
"Hm." Ash frowned, clearly unhappy that it was 'always him'.
Just then, the bell rang, signalling for the students to go back to lessons. May, Misty, Ash and Dawn fought their way through the crowds and managed to be first out. Well, with the exception of Paul who had managed to bundle himself in front and was now slouching down the corridor, very aware of the blue pair of eyes on him.
Period/Lesson 3
English:
May and Dawn were sitting at the back of an English classroom, listening as the teacher rambled on about the meaning behind the halter chains in Of Mice and Men.
"Hey…May, I've been meaning to ask you," Dawn suddenly said, lifting her head from her hand. "Since I first met you…it's just…do you have a crush on Ash?"
"What? Of course not! I've only just met him!" May exclaimed.
"It only took me ten minutes to fall for Paul," Dawn said with a happy sigh. "You've known Ash for over two hours, now."
"Well…maybe a little…" May admitted, flushing a little and looking away.
"That's what I thought." Dawn smiled triumphantly, but there was turmoil in her head. Oh man, Misty also likes Ash…I'd better make sure neither find out the other does…I don't know how they'd react.
Yeah, kind of rubbish…sorry 'bout that.
