Once Upon a Rose
Background on characters:
May, Misty, Dawn, and Leaf are all sisters and princesses of the Hoenn Region.
Drew, Ash, Kenny, and Gary are all friends and princes. They've been invited to the Hoenn Kingdom's Masquerade Ball by the sister's parents in an attempt to find the sisters some suitors.
Quick Notes:
They have never met before the Ball except once as kids, but even then May and Drew fought, and May almost completely forgot about that one time encounter (Key word almost)
Also, sorry to all those Ikarishippers, egoshippers, and pearlshippers. I have nothing against these ships I just like these better. Please don't hurt me!
Me: Time to start my first ever fanfic! I'm soooooooooo excited!
Drew: Yeah, the faster we get this train wreck going the faster it's over.
May: Drew! At least the author was nice enough to put you in the story, if it were up to me well, let's just say you wouldn't even be in the anime.
Drew: Oh please, you can't get enough of me!
May:*Grabs Drew by the collar, and pulls him closer* Well maybe.
Drew:*Leans in for a kiss* See I told you.
May: You chump!*Pushes Drew away* You actually believed me!
Me: Ok? O.o…someone please do the disclaimer before these two make out.
May & Drew: We will not make out!
Pikachu: Pikachu chu pi ka pi-pikachu (Fprmr1 does not own Pokémon, and May and Drew, who are you kidding?)
Me: Let's begin! Sorry if anyone is OOC.
Princess May sighed as she looked at the rose she received at the ball. Oh last night! Last night had been the Hoenn Kingdom's Masquerade Ball. She remembered the lights and the pretty gowns but she remembered most of all his emerald green eyes. If only she could figure out whom he was. His eyes were kind of familiar, though she didn't know how or why. She sighed again as she looked out of the window of her tower
Meanwhile unknown to her the emerald green orbs she yearned to see again were staring at her that very moment from the palace gardens at that very moment."Well, well, well. If it isn't lover boy staring at his not so secret crush?" Said Prince Gary as he walked up to Prince Drew followed by two other people."Shut up Gary!" said Drew as he turned so the others wouldn't see the pink that was appearing on his cheeks."Well at least he doesn't hit on everything with a skirt with a really cheesy pick up line!" said Prince Kenny. Prince Ash chuckled at this comment while Gary slightly blushed. "At least I don't stutter and blush when I talk to a girl I like, Kenny!" Gary retorted. Kenny ducked his head and blushed a bright crimson. "And I don't stuff my face while talking to a girl either, Ash!" now it was Ash's turn to duck his head and blush. "Now that we got that settled, what are you going to do about your crush Drew?" Gary asked.
"I don't know probably figure out if she likes me back?" answered Drew with a sigh. "Well of course she does genius; she's staring at the rose you gave her last night!" Kenny said. "She didn't know it was me last night, that was a completely different me, I've never complimented her before the Ball, you know how we were when we first met as kids, and I highly doubt she thought it was me that said her eyes were as blue as glittering sapphires!" shouted Drew. "You said what?" said Ash. "Dude you are smooth." said Gary sounding impressed. Drew blushed at his friends reactions.
But he wasn't the only one blushing, at that moment back in her tower Princess May was telling her sisters about the 'Mystery Man' she met at the Ball last night. "After he gave me the rose he said I had eyes as blue as glittering sapphires." May said. "Awwwwww!" exclaimed her princess sisters Misty, Dawn and Leaf. May then blushed as red as the ruby on her tiara. "It was so romantic!" May said with a dreamy sigh. "So how was your night?" asked May. Her sisters replied at the same time "A bust!" they said. May giggled but let them continue with their stories. "I met this really sweet and funny guy at the ball, but the whole time while I was talking he stuffed his face full with food from the buffet table!" Princess Misty complained. She then had a thoughtful look on her face. "Other than that I think he may be perfect for me. If only I knew who he was." Misty said then sighed. "I know what you mean." replied her sister Princess Dawn. "I danced with this really cute guy from what I could see, you know since his mask was covering his face. He was a wonderful dancer and incredibly sweet, but whenever I complimented him, he started to stutter and blush. After the dance I tried to talk to him some more but, he said he had to go then left with three other boys who I think were the ones we all hung out with last night." said Dawn. "Well at least your crush was modest, mine is overly arrogant1" complained Princess Leaf. "Then why do you like him?" asked Misty. Leaf blushed and giggled then said, "He's smart and handsome from what I could see, but the thing that made me fall for hi the most was his amazing singing voice. He sang at the Ball and almost made me forget his arrogance, almost." The sisters giggled, and then yelled at the top of their lungs at the same time. "If only we knew who they were!"
The Guys heard all of it. Prince Ash had the bright idea of going to eavesdrop on the sisters to see what they thought of their 'Mystery Men'. The princes all blushed and turned away from each other. "So they really want to know who their crushes are…" Ash densely said, but the boys were all too eager to change the subject. "Well it's pretty easy for me and Kenny to show who we are to Leaf and Dawn." said Gary. "Why's that?" asked Drew. "All I have to do is dance with Dawn again, and all Gary has to do is sing to Leaf again." Kenny replied. "Yeah we could put on a show before dinner and try to recreate the Masquerade Ball, except actually tell them who we are.", "Well how do Ash and I show we are who we are?" asked Drew. "Misty was going on and on about Ash's gigantic appetite, so all he has to do is keep eating in front of her. And you well, I don't know what you did last night but your eyes are hard to miss, bringing her a rose might help, and you might want to compare her eyes to gemstones again you know just to get the point across." said Gary with a smirk. "Yea be Mr. Rose again!" teased Ash. Drew then retorted, "I'd rather be Mr. Rose then Mr. I'll eat anything from here to Sinnoh!" Drew then flicked his bangs. "Guys we have incoming, they're coming out of the room! Act natural!" said Kenny who previously had his ear against the bedroom door.
"Well mom and dad wanted us to meet some guests that were at the ball last night, but didn't get the chance to introduce us to them." said May. "Found them!" sang Dawn. "You must be our guests from the Ball, welcome." said Leaf. Gary took this chance to try to impress Leaf. "Ladies please, please, please the pleasures all ours," He then took Leaf's hand and kissed it. "Who's the lover boy now." Said Drew under his breath. Gary heard this but refused to let it faze him at this crucial moment. "My name is Prince Gary Oak; I am the prince of the Johto Region." Gary then bowed. Ash stepped up "My name is Ash Ketchum, prince of the Kanto Region." He took Misty's hand kissed it then bowed. "Copycat!" Gary coughed. Kenny then stepped up "I'm Prince Kenny Smith, Prince of the Sinnoh Region." He then took Dawn's hand kissed it then bowed. "Guess that leaves me, I am Prince Drew Hayden, prince of the Northern Hoenn Region, and seemingly the only original one in the group." He then tossed May a red thorn less rose with a wink. "Well anyway, the guys and I were thinking of putting on a show before dinner, what do you guys think?" asked Gary. "We think that's a great idea." said Leaf with a dazzling smile. "It's great that you think so." Gary replied with an equally dazzling smile, then he said "See you there; come on guys we have to get ready." Then the princes left to get ready.
After they left Dawn said "Anyone else think they've met their soul mate?"
Drew: Finally it's over! I had to *gasps* be nice to May! Oh Mew that was torture!
May: Is it really that bad being nice to me! (Says in a hurt voice) *Grabs Misty's mallet and bonks Drew on the head with it, then storms off*
Drew: Oh Darkrai, I screwed up didn't I!
Pikachu: Pi-pikachu (Drew you really are an idiot aren't you?)
Me: Well I hope this clears up before the next chapter, if not I'm doomed the main pair in this story is them sooo…well milk and cyber cookies to all those who review!
