A/N: Technically speaking, it starts in Littleroot Town, but go with me here.

A/N2: It's a song fic, but not a song fic-ish. Actually, now that I look at it, it's more like a drabble.

A/N3: Suggestion song: http:/www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=MHFBO-ASaE8 on repeat (Either that or break out the GBA/GBA SP, go to Verdanturf and just, stay there until you reach the end of the chapter)


It all starts here

He was graced by her beauty. May's normal attire had been replaced by a silky long blue-green dress. Her curves had been exaggerated more than usual, and the light click of her heals made his heart skip a beat.

Wally looked over at the orchestra. He could identify Brendan sitting by the grand piano. His trademark white beanie was nowhere to be found. Instead he appeared before the crowd with a black suit, accented with a ruby-red tie.

Brendan briefly looks out into the crowd and relaxes his hand along the ivory keys. When all was quiet he fills the room with a gentle, moving piano introduction. The flautist takes his cue and enters in with the melody.

Wally it as his chance. He approached May with his heart beating wildly.

With an extended arm, "May," she turned and flashed a gentle and welcoming smile. The atmosphere and the music helped drown his fear and anxiety away. "May I have this dance?"

Gladly she takes his extended hand, "Of course."

Together they waltz across the ballroom floor. The light click of the heel matched the soft vibraphone in the background.

Brendan looked over at the duo, and then turned back to the piano. He continued to fill the room with the soft flowing tune. The emotion of the song radiated from the two dancing out on the floor, and he channeled their energy through as he tickles the ivory.

The world around the duo melted away as they nonchalantly moved across the floor. With hand in hand; one hand resting on her waist and another resting on his shoulder, the two casually glide across the floor through the vague and relax upbeat of the bass. Together they danced across Heaven's floor.

As the song near its end May nuzzled her forehead against his, "Thank you," she softly whispers.

Surprised slightly, he flushes at the contact and responds, "No, thank you, for everything." She looks up from her bliss feeling her face heating up ever so slightly, "Your advice, your guiding hand, everything." His heart was surging again. His breathing staggered, "I'm the one who should be thanking you." Wally could feel his face flaming, the cause was the latter between being so close to May and his own anxiety again. He tries to let the atmosphere ease him again as the two slow waltz towards the end of the song.

May giggled slightly, "You've learned a lot." She had been fully aware of Wally's anxiety and it wasn't caused by his weakness from his illness, but instead her. "But you still have ways to go in understanding women." Wally was genuinely shocked by the cryptic response. "But," she pulls her forehead away from his, "I'm willing to help to teach you." She then quickly pecks his forehead, "I love you."

He murmurs the same, but it blended out to the soft closing of the piano. Brendan looks up when he is done, pleased the two's happiness. From his end, even though the spotlight wasn't on them, he could sense they were emitting a slight glow; an aura filled with love and happiness.


A/N4: Hooray for Newrivalshipping, because I can.

A/N5: This is actually based of my own personal headcanon, I always believed Brendan can play an instrument – I just picked piano because it was classy – like him.

A/N6: It's not that long because I don't like dragging out one minute instrumentals or so. Deal with it. Yes, I have a lot of author's notes this time too. Just go with me here. D:
