Maybelina

Summary: Drew found a rose... with a tiny girl--May--inside it! Through her continuous pleading, he will help her turn back into her true form. May told him that there is a way to do it immediately, but, following the witch's rules, she cannot tell him. How can he do it exactly when high school is on his way? Will May turn back to her true form?

A/N: Hi everyone! :D This is my first ever fanfic, so go easy on the reviews, okay?

The title and the basic idea are from the story, Thumbelina (Do you still remember the story of the tiny girl?). It just sorta popped in my head when my family and I went home and I was staring at some flowers. xD Crazy, I know; but I think it'll work out…

So, enough blabbering here, let's get on with the show!

Disclaimer: If I own Pokemon, and since I am too lazy, then the series would still be on the 1st season… so, I don't own Pokemon.

I'm Not a Dwarf!

As the green-haired teen flipped through channels in his gigantic flat screen TV, he was obviously bored out of his wit. Every channel just didn't get his interest, you know? He sighed and turned off the TV. He can't believe it; it was Saturday and he had nothing to do at all.

So, on days like these, Drew Hayden stood up and went to stroll in his mother's beloved rose garden, where plenty were in full-bloom, seeing as it was spring time already. As he inhaled the fresh aroma, he felt quite refreshed. He smiled, feeling a bit better.

The rose garden, unlike any other, was bigger compared to the mansion he lived in, but it was no where near the size of the main mansion, where his parents were living. As he passed by the unique and stylish gazebo, which was placed in the middle of rose bushes and the middle of the rose garden, Drew saw plenty of varieties of roses. But, his favorite ones lay ahead—the red, red rose bush.

It wasn't big, it wasn't small either. It was just the perfect size. He stared at the rose bush, admiring the roses' beauty. Sure he saw it plenty of times before, even as a child. But every time he stared at it, he felt like there was something different about it each day. On this particular day, however, something was really, very different. Amidst the blooming roses, one still remained close.

Drew blinked. It's the first time he had seen something different in the rose bush. Ignoring the thorny stems, he reached his hand to the bud. Once he did so, it opened; revealing a tiny girl. He was taken aback, but went to take a closer look.

The tiny brunette, wearing a small white dress, squinted her eyes at the sun. She then opened them, revealing two very beautiful sapphire eyes. She yawned and blinked.

"Is it morning already?" She asked Drew. His mouth dropped for a distance of a mere 0.1 millimeter. He shook his head and closed his eyes; he must be imagining, yes, that's the case.

He opened them a few moments later. He still saw a pair of big sapphire eyes.

"What are you?" The words managed to escape his mouth.

"Me? I'm a human being, of course!" The girl angrily shouted at him.

He scooted closer to see a full view of the girl. "Really? Doesn't look like it. Are you a dwarf?" He measured her using his pointer and thumb; she was a mere size of his thumb.

"Well, technically, that's true," May said as she huffed and crossed her arms. "But I'm still human!"

"Prove it."

"Well, you can still touch me without getting hurt," she reached out a hand. "Try."

He reached out a finger and touched her hand.

"See?" she said.

"Ok, ok; you're a human," Drew said, defeated. "But, how come you're... the size of a thumb?"

"It's a long story," she smiled. "But first, what's your name?"

"Drew," he smirked and flicked his hair. "What about yours... dwarf?"

"I'm not a dwarf!" She bellowed. "I'm May!"

"Ok, dwarf," He teased as his smirk turned a little wider.

She huffed and crossed her arms, annoyance was clearly showing on her face. "Fine then, I'm leaving."

"Ok... bye dwarf."

"I'm not a dwarf!" As she turned to storm away, a loud growl was echoed. She turned to face him again with a sheepish smile. "Do you have any food? I'm hungry."

"Sorry, I don't have food for dwarfs," he turned around with a two-finger salute. "See ya!"

"W-wait!" She said. "Do you have at least... some biscuits?"

"For your size?" He looked at her from over his shoulder. "Nope, none."

"Any size will do!!!"

He sighed, getting annoyed. But, at the same time, he was feeling amused. It was the first time a girl would respond angrily to his sarcastic remarks. Usually, when he throws one of those remarks to a girl at school, she would either faint and not listen to him or cry and run away but still go near him the next day. (A/N: RHYME!)

So that he could stop the pleading noises from the girl, Drew turned back and faced May.

"Fine."

About half an hour later, Drew found himself staring at the cookie jar he held which had half of the cookie population it once had. He looked up to face a ball-shaped May surrounded by cookie crumbs on his kitchen counter. She sighed contently.

"Thanks for the cookies, Drew!" She let out a cute smile and a little burp.

"Are you sure you won't explode, dwarf?" He asked.

"I'm not a dwarf!" She huffed. "And, no, I'm positive of it, Drew. If I was back in my true form, I would've been able to eat three of those cookie jars in just two hours, even an hour is enough."

"Really? And you're still not-hey! What did you say a while ago? ... True form?"

May nodded. "I used to be the same size as you, Drew. Until the witch turned me into this..."

"Witch...?"

"Oh, that's right!" May snapped her fingers. "I've never told you the story of how I got here!"

"Obviously."

"Well, listen well!" May giggled. "I come from the Magic World, where everything that is a myth in this world is actually real in my world. I was the only human to live in Magic World, though. I have no magical powers, but the rest of my family has. So, to make myself useful, I decided to help my mom on this spell she had been working on. As I went to the Witch Market to pick up some items, I tripped over a flying broom stick; some of the items flew away and dropped in another witch's cauldron. Angry, she pulled me and transported me to her place in the forest. Once we reached there, she chanted something and the next thing I knew, I was inside that rose. I don't know how that rose ended up here, though."

As May finished, Drew blinked. Magic? Witches? Flying broom sticks? Those things did and do NOT exist. When the words finally sink in his brain, Drew started to speak.

"So, you're the only human living in Magic World?"

"Yep."

"And a witch cast a spell on you to make you like this?"

She nodded.

"Then... you ended up here."

"Do I have to repeat myself?"

Drew shook his head. For the second time that day, he thought it was impossible. But, the fresh proof in front of him told him otherwise.

"Ah, Drew! Since you're bigger than me, and more capable of going around, can you help me turn back?"

"Into what?"

"Into my true form!"

"No."

"Ehhh..." May cried, surprised. "Why? You've gotta help me!"

"Why?"

"Because," she released her ultimate puppy-dog pout. "I'm your friend, aren't I?"

Drew sighed, annoyed. How could he deal with this? In his mind, there was only one way to deal with it. He doesn't know if he'll be happy or regret the answer, however. But, if it can shut her up, then it'll have to do.

"Ok, fine. You've got my help... dwarf."

"I'm not a dwarf!"

A/N: So… that's the beginning! I hope it was okay… maybe it was not… tell me through your review! :D Oh, and if you're wondering about May being the only human in Magic World... I'll explain it in later chapters. :)
