Author's notes: I was inspired to write this angsty little piece because of an article on roses on Wikipedia. Anyway, for those of you who don't know, Hikari is a new character in the Diamond & Pearl series of the Pokemon anime. If you don't know who she is, well, it might make this fanfic a little more difficult to understand. But, some research on the character would help. :) So, enjoy!

Yellow Rose.

There was something about him that made him so attractive to me. When I first saw Drew, he shot a grin at me, one that almost caused me to melt into my little pink boots. It turned out that he was a Coordinator like me and he defeated me in the first Contest we were both in.
Despite the defeat, he rewarded me with a single yellow rose. I put it close to my face and became entranced in its sweet scent.
"We'll meet again." He assured me as he walked away. I just stood there, awestruck and infatuated.
Indeed, we met again a few more times. Sometimes, I won. Sometimes, he won. Our eyes would meet and I felt like I was in heaven.
The Grand Fesitval was the event I had worked very hard to be able to attend and my efforts paid off! Surely enough, Drew was there and I wished him luck. It turned out that May, his own rival and a friend of Ash's was also there.
After many appeals and battles, I faced May with my Bellossom, which was no match against her Blaziken. In the end, I lost to her. She and Drew managed to make the Final Round, which he won. I was so happy to see him victorious. He stopped by the sidelines, handing me the same colored rose he always gave me.
I ran to the waiting room in the back, hoping to be face-to-face with him, hoping to finally engage in a conversation. With great sadness, I watched as he kissed May, a lovely red rose was in her grasp.
