Chapter 1: The Mid-Year Dance

A/N: Hello! I will go by the nickname of Dei. Blue's the girl and Green's the dude.

Now, for those who already read the original first chapter, you'd know I had edited the chapter. A major edit. Very long story. In a nutshell, it had to do with the Guidelines, and I kinda broke one of the rules by accident. I didn't read it properly. Sorry, Fanfiction Managers!

Ages

Red, Blue and Green: 18

Yellow: 16

Gold, Silver and Crystal: 15

This takes place in the gap between the Platinum and HGSS arcs.

The Mid-Year Dance

Blue stared out of the window of the Viridian City Gym. She was bored, wondering how to match-make her friends and licking her ice cream which she wasn't paying much attention to. Project Special: Red and Yellow. Status: Kawaii and CUTE! she thought. Project MangaQuest: Gold and Crystal. Status: Hilarious! Project Frantic: Ruby and Sapphire. Status: It'd be good if Ruby remembered the incident on Mirage Island. Project-

She was interrupted when she felt something drip onto her hand. "Shit!" she said as she whipped a wad of tissue paper out and wiped the whatever away. It turned out to be ice cream. She sighed. Crap; lost my train of thought.

Now, my dear reader, you're probably wondering why Blue was at the Viridian Gym of all places. Well, let's start with a flashback. Oh, shut up and quit whining!

Flashback

Blue's POV

I was on my way to Vermillion Harbour to take the Sea Gallop to visit my parents at the Sevii Islands. Okay, more like helping them move stuff so they can move here to Kanto. I was in Viridian City when I suddenly felt hungry.

Eh, I thought. Buying a little snack to ease my hunger won't kill them, right?

So I went ahead and bought a sausage pastry when I heard a clap of thunder. In the blink of a Meowth's eye, rain poured down, managing to wet my hair instantly and ruin my pastry.

I spun around and spotted a shelter, the Viridian Gym. Unfortunately, that's where Mr. I-don't-give-a-damn is.

Losing my pride is better than getting drenched, I thought. I'll just tell Mummy and Daddy that the rain is so heavy I can't make it. Oh, and that I forgot my umbrella; it's at my condo at Celadon.

I pounded on his door like some crazy tax-collector or a mad fangirl or... Shoot, I'm getting carried away.

He flung open his door with such strength he nearly knocked me off my feet. "Hey," he said. "You alright, Blue?"

I looked up and nodded. What I saw made me freeze. His hair was spiked up in its usual way, but his eyes were brighter than normal and the look on his face... I thought I was gonna fall over.

He brought me out of my monologue. "You coming in?" he asked impatiently.

I nodded and rushed inside. I heard him close the door behind me.

"I've been getting loads of visitors who aren't challengers," Green mumbled. Did I mention he had problems articulating? "Or are you a challenger?" he added suspiciously.

"Mew, no!" I exclaimed.

"Are you afraid?" he said, smirking.

I rolled my eyes. "Heck, no," I retorted. "I'm not in the mood."

He sighed. I heard him mumble something about Yellow not being a good enough challenger, but one can never be too sure.

I quickly informed my parents I won't be able to make it.

End of flashback

Blue aimed and managed to toss the rolled-up wad of tissue into the dustbin perfectly.

"I didn't know you were so good at basketball," Red said.

Blue shrugged modestly.

"Awesome..." Yellow muttered in awe.

Green nodded and looked away. Was he... blushing?! No, he couldn't have been blushing; he doesn't show his emotions... That is, if he has any in the first place.

Blue's eyes lit up; there's a way to find out who Green liked... If he did. And it'd be so secretive and subtle, no one can figure it out.

Unfortunately, there was a hole in her plan. She sighed. The Sinnoh trio are under-aged. Anyway, I'm not sure if Platinum likes Dia or Pearl. My job is to match the people whom the matchees actually like. Heh, Crys just won't admit she likes Gold!

Blue smiled and pulled out her PokéGear. She had some people to contact.

...

All the Pokédex owners, except the Sinnoh trio, have arrived. Blue pulled out a poster that read:

Everyone blushed, except Emerald, when they read the last bit. "Um..."

Emerald laughed. "I'm glad I'm not in love, unlike the rest of you!" he said cheerfully.

"WHAT?!"

"In fact," Emerald added. "Just to torture you guys and go along with Blue-sempai, I say we're going."

...

Yellow's POV

The situation gets worse; Blue says we have to get fancy clothes! I don't really like those, 'cause you know you can't ruin them.

But not to disappoint her, I'll tag along. Besides, Sapphire has it worse; she's a tomboy, and tomboys hate these things.

We are in the Celadon Department Store, choosing dresses. I don't get the difference; they all look the same to me! Lucky Blue... she knows what to choose, while I'm standing here looking like a retard!

Blue tsked. "Yellow... Have you forgotten what've I taught you about shopping?"

Um... yeah, I did.

"Rule one!" Blue declared loudly. "Don't stand around and look like a retard!"

See, even Blue thinks so!

"Rule two!" she continued. "If you've no idea what to get, just pick some random stuff of the shelves and try them on!"

Wow, even shopping has rules now!

"Rule three!" she blabbered. "If I reject, choose another one!

"Rule four! Ignore rule three if I approve and pay! Clear?" she concluded.

I nodded weakly. She clapped me on the back and went back to choosing clothes. Seriously, she can get like Green when it comes to shopping! I sweat-dropped.

So I went along with Rule Two and picked some random stuff of the shelves.

Blue appeared by my side in a split second, which was amazing, since she was at the other end of the store. "Oh, yeah, Yellow," she said. "Do check out the shoes. They're amazing~!" Her eyes got all starry.

She kinda looks like Ruby when he's saying his catchphrase "My Pokémon are cool, cute, tough, smart and be-au-ti-fu~l!" Wait, don't all contest people say that? Now when I think again, it sounds pretty creepy.

I went to check out the shoes, and it was amazing. And beautiful. And smart. And cute. And cool. And tou-

Hey! Something's not right here...

I shrugged and pick out a pair of red heels. Then I walked to the changing rooms.

...

Blue's POV

I just saw Yellow walk into the changing rooms. Man, I hope she didn't pick something out that will make her look like a douche!

I made my way to the outside of Changing Room 3, which was where Yellow was in. I stood outside and waited.

The door pulled open, and there was Yellow. She was wearing a skin tight red sleeveless dress with a small black bow by the left side of the skirt. Her shoes were red with fairly high heels, but they weren't so high that she'd fall over.

"Wow!" I said. "You look great! Just a few touched on your hair and you'll make Red smile!" I paused. "Or his nose bleed," I added with a smirk.

She panicked. "Blue! Are you serious?" she squeaked.

"Ah, just kidding about the nosebleed," she said. "Wait, why the colour red, hmm?"

She blushed. "Umm..."

"You have my stamp of approval!" I declared. "You can change back and pay! I'll change, then you come back so to gimme your opinion."

...

Blue's POV

I pulled on my turquoise strapless dress that actually sparkled and a pair of turquoise heels. I then walked out to get Yellow's opinion.

What I didn't expect was Crys and Sapphire waiting outside too. Crys was wearing a white single strap dress (with ruffles on the straps) and white heels that had a strap around her ankle.

Sapphire... Hers was the one I was the most shocked with. She was wearing a sky-blue halter dress... Or should I call it a minidress? After all, it is so short! She was wearing open-toe blue heels too! I was stunned beyond belief.

"Blue-san," Yellow said. "You get my stamp of approval!"

I turned to face Sapphire and Crystal. They nodded.

I smiled. So this is how Yellow felt when I gave her my 'stamp of approval'. "You two look great too!" I chirped modestly. "You two get my stamp of approval!"

The four of us cracked up and went off to pay.

Well, except for Yellow, who had already paid.

...

Normal POV

Everyone arrived there on time and they could already hear the music pumping away.

They entered, and what a grand sight they saw! People dressed elegantly dancing around, and the DJ actually looked like a DJ and not some B.O.B wannabe.

Gold immediately started shuffling, but, hey!, who can blame him; the DJ was playing Party Rock Anthem.

"Guys," Blue mumbled with a laugh. "Let's hit the floor!"

Green spun off with Blue (big shock!), Red hit the floor with Yellow, Gold dragged Crystal to the multi-coloured floor, and after stopping his nose from bleeding, Ruby took Sapphire's hand hesitantly and danced.

The tune was perfect and somehow, even Green was having a good time.

Immediately after Party Rock Anthem, the DJ started playing Tik Tok by Ke$ha.

"Woo!" Gold cheered as he swayed about. "A song about drinking!"

Crystal smacked him. "Stop perving about!"

...

A/N: I don't own Party Rock Anthem. Ah, I guess you're wondering what 'Project' Blue was wondering about earlier. Well, that's for me to know, and you to find out!

Who will Platinum choose? Diamond, or Pearl?
