Disclaimer: I do not own anything to do with the world of pokemon.
I think it's
perfect timing for a little Halloween contestship, is it not?
Before
I start off I'd just like to thank Arysd for the
Halloween idea :)
Also, May and Drew are about fifteen or sixteen in this story.
Anyways, enjoy! :D
* * * * *
"Trick or treat!"
The door opened to reveal a woman clad in a long, black robe. She had green face paint on and sported a pointy had on her head. A young girl with brown hair smiled the women and opened her pillow case, which was already three quarters full of various candies.
The lady dressed as a witch grinned back and grabbed a handful of lollipops from a bowl behind her. She returned a smile at the teenage girl as she emptied her hand into the bag.
"Thank you!" The girl, who was dressed as some sort of pirate woman, bounded down the steps and allowed a handsome young man with odd green hair to pass her. The witch lady gave him some candy and then wished the duo a happy night, waving them goodbye. The way the young man wrapped him arm around the girl's waist as they retreated down the driveway made the lady suspect they were boyfriend and girlfriend. She shut her door and awaited the next group of visitors.
"May, don't you think we have enough candy already?" the green haired boy asked with the slight hint of a whine in his voice. He was wearing an odd black suit that had a white buttoned shirt underneath with a white bow tie. On the bottom half of his body were black dress pants and equally as black pointy shoes. A long, billowing cape that was red on the under parts, a black top hat and peculiar triangular glasses completed the outfit. And of course, there was the rose he had in the same hand he held his candy bag.
"Quit being a party
pooper, Drew! You know, I need enough candy to last me a whole year,"
May replied as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. She
opened up a small packet of cherry blasters and began munched on them
contentedly. Pouring the contents of the bag into her mouth, some
stray sugar accidentally fell in her dress. She scowled and checked
over her pirate wench outfit as she brushed it off.
The dress was
red and black. It came off the shoulders and went down into poufy
sleeves that ended at her wrists. Around her waist it was black and
lacy with little red bows going down the sides. The rest was a poppy
red, though there was black lace peeking out from underneath the
skirt. The girl also had on black fishnet stockings and black boots.
On top of her beautifully curled hair was an elaborate black lacy
hat.
"Speaking of party, you know it started half hour ago?" Drew threw a glance at his girlfriend, waiting for her reaction.
HALF HOUR AGO? May squealed in her head. Okay, no need to overreact. Play it cool. "Well, it's always good to be fashionably late," May lied, winking to try and cover up her panic.
Drew, of course, could easily tell May was itching to get to the party as soon as possible, now that he reminded her. She hated being late, though, she usually always was. "No one would believe you were fashionably late once they saw that outfit," he mocked with a sly grin.
May knew he was joking, but she glared at him anyway. "Shut up, Tuxedo Mask. You know you adore me in this outfit." She did a little ballerina twirl.
Drew stared at her
appreciatively. He did love her in that outfit. It showed off
her legs and chest great and made her looking adorable. But he
wouldn't say that out loud.
Instead, he looked down at his own
outfit. The genius idea of being Damien, or Tuxedo Mask, from Sailor
Moon came from their fellow coordinator Solidad. One day she had
commented that he and Damien were very similar, with them having the
whole rose thing and all. It then struck him that that's what he
should dress up as for Halloween.
He had been having a hard time
deciding what to be. He wanted to be something slick and cool; he
wanted to impress people. Eventually he decided he would just be
himself, since he was cool, but May had pestered him until he
gave in.
So he had ended up as Tuxedo Mask.
Drew threw his rose at May instead of replying and then grabbed her hand. The girl smiled at the rose and then yanked his arm forward suddenly. "Come on, let's go the party!" she said urgently.
Drew rolled his eyes as she dragged him. He muttered, "What happened to being fashionably late?"
* * *
"So whose party is this, exactly?" Drew, who was stilling sporting the same Tuxedo Mask outfit minus the hat, surveilled the apartment where the occasion was taking place. It was medium sized in the main part that served as a kitchen, dining room and living room. Two small halls went off on either side leading to various other rooms. It was already crowded with people sporting assorted costumes. Some were dressed up traditionally, such as like a vampire, while others had on more provocative outfits. A girl in her late teens with strawberry blonde pigtails wore a Buneary costume that showed all of her legs and barely covered her rear end. She stumbled past May and Drew with a bottle in her hand, yelling, "ELIJAH, BABY, COME BAAACK!"
Drew's eyes followed the Buneary girl's retreating bottom against his own will. May grabbed his chin to turn his attention back on her.
She glared at him warningly before she replied. "It's Prudence's party. This is her older sister's apartment."
"Who's Prudence again?" Drew scratched his head as he removed his shoes and led May into the living room.
"She was the girl I lost to at the last contest," May replied with steely edge to her voice.
"Ugh, that annoying redheaded twit?" Drew crinkled his face in disgust.
"Come on, she was… nice," May struggled to not be so biased about Carole, just because she had beaten her at the last contest. "And she's not annoying," she added half-heartedly.
"Whatever you say," Drew replied, flipping his green bangs with his index and middle fingers.
"Come on, don't be so judgmental! This is going to be a fun party," May encouraged, pulling him down onto a free couch
"Sure, as long as you don't end up like that hoochy girl in the Buneary costume," Drew smirked. "I think that one had quite enough to drink."
"Oh don't even pretend you don't want me dressed like her; I saw you checking her out," May winked.
"Yes, well, no one compares to you, even if they are dressed like a slutty Buneary…" Drew trailed off as he leaned in towards May, planting a kiss on the side of her neck.
"What are you saying about my sister?" a nasally voice interrupted the two.
May flew her head around to see Prudence standing over the two of them. Prudence herself was sporting a rather revealing pink Skitty costume that clashed horribly with her fire-engine red hair.
"Oh, uh, h-hey Prudence!" May smiled. Prudence glared back so May continued. "We were just saying how cute of an idea it is to dress up as a Buneary!" she lied on the spot.
Drew smirked slowly. He nodded to Prudence in greeting and then looked away, obviously not enthralled with her presence.
"Oh, okay," Prudence said dismissively. "I'm so glad you could make it, May! I would have thought that because I beat you, the Princess of Hoenn, you wouldn't even dream of coming here!" the fire haired girl laughed condescendingly. Without warning, she suddenly attacked May in a suffocating hug. May barely had time to return the gesture before Prudence moved back. But she didn't seem to care.
Prudence turned to Drew with a slight sneer. "So, Mr. Drew. Where have you been lately?"
Drew narrowed his eyes slightly at the girl. "I've been wherever May's been."
"No, you silly!" Prudence let out a peal of laughter that made Drew's ears hurt. "I mean from the contests! I haven't seen you in one for quite some time."
The green haired boy remained silent for a few seconds before replying, contemplating on how to answer. "I've been taking some time to do some special training," he finally replied.
"Well you would need it, after that hard loss against Kelly a month or so back," Prudence said with a hint of malice. "I on the other hand, need to do no such thing. With my four" --she took out a small, shiny blue case and snapped it open- "ribbons, I feel pretty confident of my skills. All easy wins," she smirked, trying showing off.
Confident is an understatement, May growled in her head. She looked to Drew exasperatedly, who flipped his hair with nonchalance.
"I guess you didn't
see my contest after that one, Prudence." Drew sneered as he said
her name. "I have been doing special training for the Grand
Festival, since I already have my" – he flipped open his gold
ribbon case in a good impression of Prudence-"five
ribbons."
Drew leaned back into the chair with obvious
satisfaction at the look that crossed over Prudence's face. She
pursed her lips slightly before replying. "Well I prefer to take my
time with this things, just like May here, it seems." She stuck his
nose into the air.
"Uh, yeeeah…" May trailed off, looking at Drew with wide eyes that screamed 'SHE'S DRIVING ME NUTS, LET'S DITCH HER'.
Drew grabbed May's hand and they sat up. "Well, we better go say hi to everyone else," he said, edging away from Prudence.
"No, no, wait!" Prudence's eyes hardened for a fraction of a second before she closed them. She took a deep breath then opened them and pasted a fresh smile on her face. "Let me get you two something to drink first," she said pleasantly.
Drew replied quickly with a "No, thank you" while May accepted, not wanting to be impolite.
"I'll be right back!" Prudence danced away towards the kitchen counters with a look in her eyes that made Drew uncomfortable.
"Oookay, what was that all about?" May stared, slightly repulsed.
"No idea." Drew replied.
"She's nuts," May concluded quickly. Drew nodded his head in agreement.
Just then, Prudence appeared with a red plastic cup in her hand. She smiled devilishly to herself as May accepted the cup and took a sip.

Uh oh. What's going to happen next? ;)
Stayed tuned to find out!
Please review!
Oh, and just another
few things: Prudence is an OC I just made up to add to the story.
She's not actually from the anime.
Also, if you want to get a
general idea of what May's costume looks like, google 'pirate
wench'. And 'Tuxedo Mask' for Drew's.
Thanks for reading
:)
