Dawn gasped," Oh my, Gary, I'm so sorry!" Dawn said frantically.

Gary laughed, "Hey, it wasn't your fault. Hey, I've got an idea!" Gary said.

Dawn took a deep breath before replying," What is it?" She asked.

"Maybe I could go to her house, and apologize personally. I do believe I owe it to her." Gary said.

Dawn smiled," That's perfect; I know Misty will appreciate it!" She said happily.

Gary grinned, yes it was perfect, he could finally figure out where she lived and further pursue her. Not smother her, most chicks didn't dig that; especially chicks like Misty. Though Gary could only assume, never once had he met a girl so proud, so cocky, so… like him.

Dawn then wrote down Misty's address and handed it to Gary reluctantly. Gary thanked her and the two parted ways, though parting ways for Gary wasn't as easy. He had to get through a wall of screaming fan girls, sing at least 50 autographs, and then run to his car, before anyone noticed him.

Gary then quickly drove to Misty's house, before he got held up by any more distractions; not like he didn't love them, but he had another task at hand.

When he finally reached her house, he quietly shut the convertible door and walked calmly to her front door. He then knocked.

Misty opened it, "Listen Dawn, I don't wanna-"

"Don't wanna what, See me again?" Gary asked.

Misty flushed and slammed the door as hard as she could. How on Earth did he get her address? She then dropped disbelieving, she knew exactly how he did; he told Dawn some fake sotry, and she bought it! Damn she was so gullible!

A few minutes later, she heard knocking again.

"I'm going to ignore you!" Misty shouted.

"Then I won't leave until you come out!" Gary replied.

Misty grumbled he wasn't going to leave unless she gave him a chance; He liked to play hard ball.

"Fine, you've got one minute, start talking pretty boy!" Misty said.

"You deserve a proper apology, so I could just Half-ass an apology, but I think I I've got another way to make it up to you." Gary began.

Misty arched an eyebrow in curiosity," And how's that, sign me an autograph with a picture of the "great prince"?"

Gary shook his head," No, I'd like to take you out, not some cheap place; I'd like to take you out to the most expensive restaurant in all of Kanto."

Misty crossed her arms in doubt," Really, is that so?"

"Please Misty; I only ask for one night, I must make it up to you!" Gary pleaded.

Misty frowned, "Fine, when do you want to go?" she asked.

"I'll pick you up at 7:00! In the meanwhile, dress nicely!" Gary said while jetting out of Misty's driveway.

Misty rolled her eyes and closed the door. She then went directly to her room; the clock said 5:30. Misty sighed and flipped out her phone; she was going to text Dawn to apologize, and tell of her date with the Champ.

Hey Dawn. Sorry about what happened! _

Misty typed out, she felt confident that Dawn already had forgiven her, but it was against her better judgment to not apologize.

It's cool! So did Gary come to ur place? O_o

Misty bit her bottom lip before typing out her answer.

Yeah, but that's not the half of it!

What? Did he come on to u?

Misty groaned at the thought of that creep coming on to her, every boy in Kanto knew better then that!

No, of course not! But he is taking me out 2night….

Rly? No way Mist! Where's he taking u? :D

The most "expensive" restaurant in Kanto -_-;

Lighten UP Waterflower! Can't u enjoy urself? Besides, when's the last time a boy even offered to take u out for fast food?

Misty frowned, Dawn had a point, boys didn't even offer to take her for a walk!

Fine, you're right, but what should I do? I've never been on a date before! O_O

I'll be over right away! D:

Misty smiled gratefully, she was lucky to have a friend like Dawn, a friend who would drop everything and come to her rescue; she almost didn't deserve it all.

Ten minutes later, Dawn came knocking on Misty's Door; She had a huge suit case- like make up kit in her hand.

Misty eyed Dawn, was she going to make her look like a hooker?

Dawn noticed Misty's unease and smiled," Don't worry, I'm going for a more natural beauty type thing, I won't make you look ridiculous." She said.

Misty then allowed Dawn to lead her to her bathroom; Misty knew she was in for something special.

"First, we have to cleanse your pores, and wash and condition your hair!" Dawn said.

After 20 minutes of cleansing, Misty was finally ready for stage two; clothes.

"Alright, so before we do anything, we need to get you dressed so we don't mess up your hair or makeup." Dawn instructed.

Misty then watched as Dawn quickly and gracefully dug through her closet. Dawn would of course know how to dress her, but she was more nervous about the date itself, not like she liked Gary, but it was her first date.

Shortly after Dawn had begun, she had an entire outfit picked out for Misty. It was a deep blue V- neck dress, along with her light blue vest with short sleeves. Dawn also took the cutesy of picking out a necklace with a silver heart pendant, her black sandals, and a white flower clip.

Misty then went to the bathroom, alone, and put on everything, except the flower clip, which Dawn had requested to put on while she did Misty's hair.

When Misty came out, Dawn lead her to a chair so she could apply the makeup and fix up her hair. To no surprise, Dawn applied the make up with such precision, it came out perfect.

Dawn took the flower clip while pulling aside some hair of Misty's and clipped it in the back.

"You may look at yourself now!" Dawn said while handing misty a mirror. Misty gasped, she was beautiful! Dawn had stuck straight to her word, she definitely didn't look ridiculous.

Misty hugged Dawn,'" Thanks so much!"

Dawn hugged her back," No problem, but don't thank me yet, we still have to go over some rules abou Dates!"

Misty let go and sat on her bed," Shoot."

Dawn put on her serious face," First, you can't be so damn serious Mist! I know you don't really like Gary, but the guy is taking you out, and not just any where, you're going to the "Spot"!"

Misty laughed," It's called the "Spot?"

Dawn crossed her arms," Yes, now pay attention! Next, no insulting him, He is trying to make it up to you for his earlier behavior, don't mess it up."

Misty rolled her eyes, "By taking me out? I wonder how many times he's done that with a girl."

Dawn slapped misty's hand," Shh, that's what I'm talking about! You're one of the luckiest girls in Kanto; any girl would die to go out with him, especially where you're going!"

Misty crossed her arms," I'm sure with his "charm" he takes every girl he wants out."

Dawn sighed," Waterflower, you are so hopeless. "

"Maybe I am, but I'm not sucker! He only wants in my pants because I'm the first girl who has ever turned him down!"

Dawn smirked," You didn't turn him down; you're going on that date, right?"

Misty flushed a shade of red," That's not the point! I meant the first girl to ever not fall for his-"

"Say no more, now come on, put on a happy face!" Dawn interrupted.

"Dawn..!" Misty whined.

"Put on a happy face!" Dawn repeated.

"I don't think…" misty trailed off.

"C'mon Mist, why do we put on our happy face, tell me?" Dawn asked.

"Because it makes us less stressed and look the best." Misty mumbled.

"I didn't hear you, WHY DO WE PUT ON THE HAPPY FACE?" Dawn shouted enthusiastically.

"Because it makes us less stressed and look the best!" Misty replied.

Dawn smiled," Now put on your happy face Mist!" Dawn shouted.

Misty smiled, not because she wanted too, but she did it anyway for her best friend. Dawn hugged her.

"Don't worry Mist, you'll be fine." She said encouragingly.

Misty beamed at her friend, she was so grateful.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Oh he's here!" Misty whispered nervously.

Dawn ushered her to the front door, "Go on, I'll stay here tonight, until you get back!"

Misty hugged her friend one more time," Thanks."

Dawn winked and ran off into Misty's room. Misty took a deep breath and opened the door. She could've died right there; there Gary was, dressed in a nice dark suit, holding out some roses.

"Hello, Misty" Gary said.

"Uhh- H-hello Gary Thanks for the roses!" She said while grabbing them from his hands delicately.

Gary watched in Awe as Misty ran off into her house to put away the roses.

When she returned he held his hand out. Misty wasn't sure if she should take his hand, but then Dawn's advice popped into her head.

"Don't be so serious!" Dawn's kind voice instructed in Misty's mind.

Misty took his hand and let him lead her to his car. He opened the car door and closed as Misty sat down.

"You look beautiful red." Gary said playfully.

Misty laughed," Oh I'm so honored, the prince of Kanto has complemented me! Allow me to grovel later on." Misty joked.

Gary smirked," You should be honored, I don't throw out compliments." Gary replied in the same playful fashion.

Misty and Gary both laughed, it was a moment of bliss.

"Thanks." Misty finally said after their giggling subsided.

"No need to thank me, you do look beautiful." Gary replied.

"I meant for taking me out." Misty replied.

Gary blushed," Oh yeah, of course, I owe you one for earlier today." He replied sheepishly.

Misty grinned," But I'm flattered that Gary Oak thinks I'm beautiful." She teased.

The rest of the way there, the two engaged in small talk.

"Okay, we're here." Gary said while getting out of the car to open Misty's door for her.

Misty got out of the car and smoothed out her dress before taking Gary's arm. Gary then lead her inside.

The check in people gaped at Gary when he walked in with Misty," Reservation for Oak, please." Gary said.

The lady at the list quickly grabbed some menus and silverware," Right this way." She said leading them through the restaurant.

Everyone in the restaurant stared as they passed through, this made Misty feel very uneasy.

"Gary, they're all staring." Misty whispered.

Gary looked at misty, "Don't worry, I promise it'll be okay." Gary whispered back.

The lady set down their menus and silverware. Gary pulled out Misty's chair and sat in his own.

"May I start you out with something to drink?" The server asked.

"I'll just have some water." Misty replied softly.

"I'll have some tea. With a lemon wedge please." Gary said.

The server bowed and ran off. Misty scanned the room, no one stopped staring, it was s if they were on a stage performing for everyone. Gary caught onto Misty's unease.

"Just ignore them; it happens all of the time." Gary said plainly.

Misty nodded, "Alright."

"Look I know we just met, but may I be honest with you?" Gary asked as the server brought out their food.

Misty took a small bite and swallowed," Go ahead." She said.

Gary sighed and took his fork nervously.

"Look I know you think I'm a big, conceited jerk; and you have every right too! But I think you should know the real reason I wanted to meet you." Gary started.

Misty eyed him suspiciously, he was very different from the guy she met and saw at the mall.

"I only wanted to truly meet you, but from the look on your face, I had a feeling you'd only be convinced into doing so by your friend. I know I acted horribly, but I wanted you to know how special you are, you're the only person who sees a teenage boy, not someone famous." Gary explained.

"Look you don't have to-"

"I do." Gary interrupted seriously.

Misty felt her heart skip a beat, his intense green eyes bore into her soul.

"I'm very sorry for how I was acting, and I want you in my life for a long time. We can start off as friends if you want, but please don't leave me." Gary begged.

Misty found herself blushing. He wanted her, the tomboy, with a hot and popular best friend?

"Gary, you can have anyone, why me?" Misty asked seriously.

"Because, you're the only one who I know would fall for me for me, not because I'm famous." Gary admitted.

Misty smiled, he wasn't the boy she had thought, he was any other boy who just wanted people to like him for him.

"I would love that Gary." Misty finally answered.

Gary smiled, not his usual stuck- up smile, but something a little more real.

At that moment, a slow-dance song came on. Gary was about to offer Misty to dance with him, but apparently, a group of girls had been waiting for the right chance, and took it.

"GUYS,IT'S GARY OAK!" One girl shouted.

The rest of the girls squealed shrilly. Misty glared at each and every one of them; she of course expected the best from Gary.

"Gary, what on Earth are you doing with that girl?" A tall black- haired girl asked.

Misty crossed her arms," We're on a date." She spat.

"Is that true?" The same girl whined.

Gary looked at Misty, then at the large group of hot girls wanting his attention. Misty gave him a desperate look.

"No, I just took her out because she begged. " Gary said slickly.

Misty stared at Gary in utter disbelief.

The group of girls squealed again.

"Well ditch the girl and dance with us, we all love you!" The apparent ring- leader replied this time glaring at Misty.

"You heard them Doll- face, I'll call ya' later." Gary said to Misty.

Misty growled and slapped Gary hard across the face. Gary flew back out of the chair and onto the floor, he looked up at the flaming red-head, she had a mixture of hate and total hurt in her eyes.

"You dumb jerk, I HATE YOU!" Misty shouted while running out of the restaurant.

Gary reached after her, but he realized he had made a huge mistake. The girls all reached to pick him up, he insisted he do it on his, but thanked them for it. Then to take the pain of his mistake away he danced with the girls and took one home with him.

The whole time he and the girl were having sex, he could only think of Misty.
