Twelve o' clock

I DON'T OWN POKEMON SO DON'T YOU DARE POINT THAT RABBIT AT ME!

Might be short, so don't point the rabbit at me for that either. (Did I say might? I meant WILL!)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Drew walked by a small shop and grinned.

" This looks about right, don't you think, Roselia?"

" Rose, Rose!"

" I guess…" Drew walked into the store.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" Max! Stop it!" May was beat red.

" What? All I said that you should get married with him already. I mean, look at you! You're old enough, you two've been friends for years now, and not to mention, he's your boyfriend!"

" Shut UP! He wouldn't ask me, okay?" She turned redder, it that was possible, and sighed.

" He's just… He wouldn't…"

----------------------------------------------------------------------

" Okay, Roselia. I need you to make this the best you've ever done, okay?" Drew grinned, and then flipped open a cell phone.

" Drew?"

" Hey, May! Are you going to that New Year's party tonight?"

" If you mean the one Misty's hosting, yes!" May squealed on the other end of the phone.

" Then I'll meet you there, right? I have something important to tell you." He grinned.

" Oh! Um…" The brunette's cute voice paused. " Sure!" He hung up.

" Alright, Roselia. That looks perfect!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" Oh, Misty! What do I wear? What do I do? What if it's not what I think it might be?" May groaned.

" Oh, don't worry! You'll look great in everything!" Misty smiled encouragingly. "You'll be just fine!"

" I don't know…" May tittered nervously. Dawn rolled her eyes, grinning.

" If you really need help, I've got just the thing!" The navy haired girl hopped off of the couch and reached into May's closet, pulling out a sleek, navy blue dress.

" Um, isn't it too plain?" May asked.

" It's just perfect!" Dawn grinned. " It matches your eyes! And you better let me borrow it after the party!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" Wow, Mist! This looks impressive!" Ash laughed.

" Thanks! My sisters and I worked really hard on it!" Misty beamed. Ice sculptures, water fountains, and many other things completed the outdoor party. People chatted noisily underneath the music.

" Are we still covering for Drew?" Ash asked.

" Yup! I'm so excited!" Dawn popped in from behind Misty. " I think we all know what she's going to say!"

" Hey, Dawn! Look, it's Paul!" Misty pointed out. Dawn turned around, and ended up face to face with…

" Hi, Paul! U-Um, didn't expect to see you here! Uh… Nice weather we're having, huh?" She giggled nervously. Paul turned a slightly visible pink and grunted.

" Aw, that's so sweet! They're both shy!" May walked up from behind to two and grinned. " Why haven't you asked her out yet, Paul?" The two turned even pinker and turned away from each other, saying nothing.

" Why don't you take out your bandana, May?" Misty asked.

" I don't know… I like it, I guess- Hey!" Without a word, Misty grabbed the bandana from out of her hair, and then combed May's hair with her fingers.

" There! You look beautiful!" Misty beamed. Instead of having it her regular dog-ears style, May's hair was wavy, and stretched slightly past her shoulders.

" This ought to do the trick as well!" Dawn whipped out a necklace and pinned it on May's neck.

" Why are you guys fussing over me like this?" May whined.

" Wouldn't you like to know?" Misty grinned slyly.

" Yes I would." May frowned.

" Well, this explains your question." Dawn pointed at her Poketch.

" Um, it's 11.50." May said, confused.

" Man, you are really thick." May whirled around.

" Drew!" May sputtered.

" Thank you for the warm welcome." The emerald-eyed man smirked. May blushed slightly, and turned away. Misty laughed, and then went up to the front of the yard.

" Everyone, can I have your attention please!" The chattering ceased to a halt as the heads turned to listen. " Thank you all so much for coming! I hope you all are having a great time! As it's New Years, we all have to follow tradition, don't we?" She laughed.

" C'mon." Drew whispered, pulling May. " I have to show you something." Hesitantly, May followed him away from the crowd. They entered Misty's house, then onto the balcony.

" May… I really have to thank you. You taught me a whole lot, and… well, it may not seem like it, but you've changed me…" Drew fumbled with his words, trying to figure out what to say. " Anyways…"

11:55

" I guess this sounds really cheesy, but we've known each other for a really long time…" Drew presented May a beautiful, gleaming rose. But something was different. May held the flower closer to her, and saw something shiny. Not only that, but the rose was heavier. Her heart thumped.

11:57

May looked inside, and there, sitting perfectly in the middle, was a beautiful, diamond ring. Drew laughed nervously.

" May… Um… I just want you to know that I love you, and…"

11:59

" May, will you marry me?" May blinked, then she grinned, and that became a full out laugh.

" Yes, Yes I will!" Drew smiled, slipping the ring onto her finger.

They leaned in, and their lips touched.

12:00

Wow… cheesy, AND short! How weird can I get?
