Chapter 1: It's Valentine's Day Hon!
It was a fine, beautiful morning in the city of Slateport. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and way up high in an apartment on the 5th floor of a building, there was a brunette snoring away in her bed. Just then a navy blue haired girl walked into the bedroom and opened the window. She then turned around, and her equally blue eyes scrunched up at the sight of her friend.
"May…"
'Sniff. Sniff. Yum…smells like waffles…chocolate waffles…'
"Oh May…"
'So sleepy…'
"May don't make me do this to you…"
'Should I stay or should I,' May yawned, 'go?'
"That's it. Blazie! Come here boy!"
'Huh? Did she just call Bla—?'
"Woof!" A golden retriever had jumped up from a large plump red pillow he called bed. Said dog now sat on top of May's licking her face as she sat up. "Ah! Hey! Ha-ha-ha! Blazie… why'd you have to listen to Miss Pretty-in-Pink here? You know I would've wakened up right?"
Blazie woofed in agreement as May turned and smirked at her friend, "Dawn, prepare to meet your maker! Come on in Pachi!" Dawn's eyes widened when she heard a little squeak from outside the bedroom. As if on cue a tiny squirrel literally zoomed into the room and jumped up on her head, ruffling her hair up some and essentially making most of it stand on one end.
Dawn had always taken great pride in her hair, taking her sweet time to make sure every strand in particular was brushed to perfection. In essence, had she been any other girl who had an equally passionate side for things in the make-over genre, she would've screamed as though it were the end of the world. However Dawn is still Dawn and it isn't the end of the world. So being the happy-go-lucky girl she is, proceeded to… laugh. Both girls, as May joined in, erupted in an overflow of laughter only to be joined minutes later by the entrance of a certain redhead.
"You'd never blame that dog for anything would you?" exclaimed the newcomer.
Dawn replied, "See May, she agrees with me!"
"Misty! Not you too!" pouted May throwing a pillow at said girl, suddenly being stopped by a growl from her stomach. Sheepishly she said, "Never mind let's all eat now, please?" And with that, the trio plus one dog and squirrel made their way to the dining room to enjoy some breakfast.
"Say what?" said May after gulping down her 3rd helping of chocolate chip waffles, "B-but it's Saturday! Colleges are like school! In fact it is school, which means Saturdays are off."
"But it really is a big project and Kenny made me promise to be there today!" Dawn cried.
Misty raised an eyebrow, skeptical of the ordeal. "Seriously Dawn? And you're sure you couldn't have done this on any other day."
"Positive."
"Okay then, I'll take you to your word. Besides, I have some place I need to go to today so I won't see you guys 'til way later." Misty replied.
While a pearly white smile came on one particular girl, sapphire eyes widened on the other. "Oh come on! I get a day off on the day everyone's out? That's just great. Not. So where are you going then Mist?"
"Well—." Ding-dong Misty was off by the sound of the doorbell.
"I'll get it!" called Dawn. She promptly stood up before another word could be spoken, and ran to the door. "Kenny! I thought I told you not to… oh. Hello."
At the door was a tall man with strikingly long purple curly hair and jade green hair. Clad in a baby pink long sleeved dress shirt, blue jeans, and bright red boots, he was holding an oddly familiar shaped cactus and a basket of heart shaped chocolate chip cookies. "Want one?"
"Thanks!" Dawn said eagerly taking a big one from the basket. After a moment of silence eating the cookie, "Delicious cookies, the best I've ever eaten! So, what do you want this time?"
"I know! And the only thing that shrimp says is oh, they're not half bad! I'm glad that at least one of her friends has good taste in gourmet. But that's beside the point. Can you be a dear and call her over?"
If Dawn could only sweat drop like those characters in all those anime shows she watched with her childhood friends, she'd be doing so 10 fold right now. Unfortunately she couldn't so she stepped back and excused herself closing the door. Then as soon as she was out of the purple haired man's sight, she ran at the speed of her squirrel to the dining room and called, "May! That tall guy withthe cactus is here! And he gave me a cookie!"
Called girl was with a huge smile on her face, and about to let Dawn in on with information pried from the redhead when her friend's words started to sink in, "Wait… Harley's out there?!"
After a curt nod from the girl she sighed and started to make her way to the door but stopped to ask, "You remembered everything I told you about that guy right?"
"Yup, and I did everything you told me to! No need to worry!" Dawn answered with a single thumbs-up. As soon as May made her exit she turned around to find Misty with a deep red blush on her face. "Whoa, you're as red as a tomato! What happened?"
Misty mumbled something incoherent about dates before raising her hazel eyes to meet with Dawn's navy blue. Frowning with the blush still apparent, she replied "May happened."
Relieved somewhat that her friend was out of harms way, mentioned girl continued to the door. Upon opening it Harley called out to her, "May Hon I just knew you'd be here! Take this and see you later!"
"Huh? What's this?" was all May could say as he shoved a white envelope into her hands. When motioned to open it by the man in front of her, she did just that and proceeded to read out loud, "With our group's latest successes in the wedding industry, it's my pleasure to announce that we'll be having a get-together celebration on Saturday, the 14th of February at 7 pm. Please dress semi-formally when you arrive at the office. From: Solidad."
"So, do you know what day it is today?" Harley asked amused.
"It's Saturday, but what does that have to do with any—." May suddenly stopped talking. She looked at the invitation, then Harley, and back again. The brunette exclaimed, "The party's today?! Hold on, then that means—oh my. "
"It's Valentine's Day Hon! I've got to go so see you there!" Harley called as he ran off, "And don't forget to bring one of your boy toys or something!"
She muttered a 'why me' as she closed the door and headed over to finish breakfast. Upon entering May perked up remembering something and just as Misty was about to sneak off she called, "Ha-ha! I was right Misty Waterflower! You are definitely on a d-a-t-e!"
"Misty's going on a date? I want in! And it's on Valentine's Day too! So who's the lucky guy?" Dawn asked excitedly.
"Dawn, don't listen to a word that girl says," Misty answered before turning glaring at the other girl, "May, for the last time I am not on a date!"
