A/N: In case any of you are wondering, Misty will join them but in junior year and someone else will leave. AND when the songs come up, I suggest listening to them. It helps with the atmosphere.

THE LOST CROWN

Chapter One: The Phoenix King

"And you want three wishes:
One to fly the heavens
One to swim like fishes
And then one you're saving for a rainy day
If your lover ever takes her love away."
-Three Wishes; The Pierces.


Leaf held her head high as she walked into her first class. The classroom was dark, blinds closed and the only source of light came from a dim light bulbed overhead with the seating chart on it. Dawn pointed out that they were seated by last name. May was isolated from them. Leaf took her seat in the third seat of the second row. Dawn was diagonal from her. May was in the middle of the classroom.

Then they walked in.

Three of the kings and that obnoxious queen and her followers. The queen had her arms all over the green haired king. His purple and brown haired companions walked on as the queen's friends tried to take their attention.

Leaf signaled May to come near. Dawn leaned in, "We each take a king, whichever is in most of our classes."

A boy with blonde hair walked up to the seat in front of Leaf where May was currently sitting. "Excuse me, but that's my seat."

May quickly apologized and ran back to her seat.

Leaf kept her eyes on the queen. She watched the brown haired girl sit down then she analyzed the spot on the seating chart.

Brianna.

So Brianna is obviously the girlfriend of…she watched the green haired kid talk in the corner with his friends. Dammit, she thought, Sit down already!

She was especially shocked to see that because of the last names, that one of the kings was behind her and another was next to her.

Oy.

The bell rang and Leaf quickly flipped to a random page in her composition notebook and wrote down three names.

Drew Hayden.

Gary Oak.

Paul Shinji.

Three of the four kings. She just needs the black haired one and that makes number four.

They needed to investigate these kings. Each one of them would take a king; one of them would have two. She silently prayed that she didn't have Drew Hayden and his leech.

Suddenly a boy tapped her shoulder. She turned to the boy sitting on her left, Gary Oak.

"Hey, do you have a pen I could borrow."

Leaf cracked a smile. "Of course." Anything for a king. She reached down and handed him a blue pen.

"Thanks. I'm Gary." That's when Leaf realized that she had just received one of his infamous smiles.

"No problem, I'm Leaf."

"That's not a Snowpoint name; you aren't from around here are you?"

Leaf gave him a flirty look, "What was your first guess?" Then she turned to her right to see Dawn chatting with a pretty girl with light blue hair. She snuck a peek back to see that Gary had turned the other way to talk to Paul Shinji.

She has to admit; Gary was very cute.

Dawn looked over and saw Leaf giving her a look. "Leaf, this is Marina. Marina this is my best friend Leaf."

Leaf smiled, "Pleasure."

"Same here," Marina extended her hand and Leaf took it.

"Since we are doing introductions, I'm Barry," rang the blonde haired kid in front of her.

Leaf just smiled at him then joined Dawn and Marina in their conversation about cheerleading. The two of them were planning on trying out after school.

Then their teacher, Mr. Roark, started to get their attention for English by explaining the rules. That was followed by a moan from the class.

She turned to her left when she heard Gary snickering. He looked at her and motioned for her to come closer. She accepted and he whispered in her ear.

"This guy is such a toolbag." Gary nodded in Roark's direction to indicate that he was talking about Roark.

"Toolbag?"

"That just means he's a joke."

Leaf just gave him a look and turned her attention back to what Roark was saying. Gary's voice made her shiver.

Marina tapped Leaf, "Watch out for Gary, he's the biggest player at this school."

Leaf snuck to the page where she wrote down the names of the kings and wrote Flirty and Player by Gary's name.

She just knew. Sophomore year was going to be unforgettable.

...

She was so relieved by Dawn's text because she needed someone to sit with at lunch. Walking into her third class of math, she saw Marina. Leaf sat down next to her.

"Is it bad that I'm exhausted on the first day?" Leaf asked.

Marina laughed, "I think we all are."

Then another brunette walked in and hugged Marina and sat in front of her, "Marina! I haven't seen you since last year!"

"Same here! Melody, this is Leaf. Leaf this is Melody," Marina introduced.

Melody gawked at Leaf, "Oh my god! You are really pretty!"

Leaf smiled, "Uhm, thanks. I'm new."

Gary walked in and poked Leaf as he sat behind her, "Hey there Branch."

A vein popped in Leaf's face. "My name is Leaf and what are you doing here; this class is supposed to be for the higher level students."

"Well we have all our classes together. I'm obviously part of this 'higher level' that you speak of," Gary winked.

Leaf turned around and hit her face on the desk. "It isn't even lunch yet."

Finally the bell rang that dismissed then to lunch. Melody was chatting about taking a trip to the nearby outlets during the weekend and taking a girl's weekend, which all sounded really good to Leaf and Marina.

"But Dawn and May have to come too," Melody requested after hearing about Leaf's friends.

"Of course, they'll be delighted," Leaf promised on their behalf.

They were sitting at THE GIRLS lunch table. Next to them was THE BOYS lunch table.

"So Leaf, it looks like you were all friendly with Gary," Melody hinted.

Leaf scoffed, "Oh please, he's just flirting."

"Yeah Mel, we all know Gary. He's the charmer of snakes." Marina bit into her Oreo.

Leaf tipped her head to the side, "Charmer of snakes? Is that what you use to describe Gary Oak?"

Melody laughed. "Just keep this in mind. He'll try to charm you, but you're only a game to him. Don't fall for his spell."

She turned her head a bit and secretly smirked to see Gary looking her way.

Maybe she would be the one to change that.

...

Leaf was relieved as the bell rang dismissing them. She and Melody walked out.

"I'm so glad the first day was on a Friday!" Melody laughed.

"I know! That was bad thinking on part of the school board," Leaf laughed too.

Melody yawned, "Well I have nothing else to do today, wanna get some coffee?"

"Sure!" Leaf followed Melody to a coffee cart. She tied her hair into a bun, to stop it from getting into her face. And it was hot. The pair of them ordered and then sat down on a bench in the shade, covered by a giant oak tree.

Sitting on a bench with Melody drinking coffee and talking about fashion made Leaf feel like herself.

"Snowy Outlet catalog!" Melody pulled it out of her bag and they flipped through the different stores.

Leaf giggled, "I can't wait for tomorrow."

"What are you guys doing tomorrow?" Gary walked up to them, hands in pocket.

"None of your business Gary," Leaf laughed.

"Sure…" Gary snatched the catalog from Melody. "Snowy Outlets; don't tell me, all you girls are going on a shopping spree there."

Melody put her arm around Leaf, "Yup! Me, Marina and the newbies!"

Leaf laughed and looked up to see Gary smiling at her. "Don't tell me, that you and your friends are going there too tomorrow."

Gary clutched his heart dramatically, "You make it seem like I'm following you. Don't flatter yourself Leaf. We are going to pick up some stuff for football and just chill."

Leaf and Melody got up. "Well then, I guess I'll see you tomorrow," Leaf told him, before walking away.

AS she walked away, she heard her phone ringing because Dawn had sent her a new text!

To: Leaf
From: Dawn

meet in my room at 6. wear something to go clubbing in. we are gonna have fun tonight! ;)

Ah, Dawn never failed her.

...

Leaf went early, at five thirty, to tell Dawn about their plans with Marina and Melody at Snowy Outlets tomorrow which Dawn enjoyed.

Then they traded stories about their day. As much as they hated to admit it, they actually liked Gary and Paul.

Finally May arrived and Dawn announced that they were sneaking out to Club 13.

After sneaking off the campus, they arrived after a ten minute walk. The sign was gigantic, they couldn't miss it. As they walked in they were consumed by the music and strobe lights.

That's when she spotted them (well she actually spotted Gary first but that didn't really matter). Gary, Ash and Drew were sitting at the bar.

Underage drinking. For some reason she expected a bit more out of them.

Instantly Gary had asked her to dance and May and Dawn both urged her with their eyes. She could feel them snickering and planning her wedding as she headed for the dance floor. A new song by Enrique Iglesias was pounding in everyone's ears.

"I know you want me.
I made it obvious that I want you too.
So put it on me, let's remove the space between me and you.
Now rock your body. Damn, I like the way that you move."

Leaf let the music take over as she raised her arms above her head and danced to the beat of the music. She felt Gary's stare on her. She felt his presence coming closer and closer.

She started singing along and Gary grabbed one of her hands and spun her around. She put one hand on his shoulder and he both one hand on her back.

"Here's the situation, into every nation.
Nobody's ever made me feel that way that you do.
You know my motivation, given my reputation.
Please excuse me I don't mean to be rude.
But tonight I'm loving you."

Leaf smiled at the relativity the song had to her situation. It could have been Gary's theme song.

"What are you laughing about little lady?" Gary asked.

"Just how this song fits in with your personality," Leaf gave him an angelic smile as he listened to the lyrics and gave her a suspicious look.

"You're so damn pretty.
If I had a type then baby it'd be you.
I know you're ready.
If I never lied then baby it'd be the truth.
Here's the situation, into every nation.
Nobody's ever made me feel that way that you do.
You know my motivation, given my reputation.
Please excuse me I don't mean to be rude.
But tonight I'm loving you."

"Oh really. Well let me guess that you have made those assumptions on what your new friends have told you?"

Leaf had nothing to say, but she felt like she had hurt his feelings.

At her silence, he continued. "You shouldn't believe everything you hear."

The he spun her around and kissed her on the middle of the dance floor.


Dawn walked to her second class after learning that the purple haired king was in her first. She sat in one seat and put down her books. She began playing with her pencil until she saw him walk in, Paul whatever –his-last-name-was.

He was the only one of the kings but he still had followers all the same. One of them she recalled as Barry, the blonde who sat in front of Leaf in English.

So he's here too. Dawn secretly smiled. With any luck, she'd have to take him.

There was something about him. She wanted to know more about him. Her heart burst at first seeing him. Could this be one of those 'love at first sight' scenarios?

But she hadn't been introduced. That would have to be done. Soon.

She turned around to get her backpack.

"Dawn?"

Her head flew straight up. The girl sitting behind her had red wine hair, cut short. It took a minute, but then it clicked.

Zoey Nozomi. Zoey. They used to be friends when they were younger. Zoey used to be a cheerleader with Dawn until she quit, and left Dawn alone.

"Zoey?" Dawn asked.

"Ha, whoa. That's funny how we met up here!" Zoey laughed.

Dawn grinned and stood up to hug Zoey. "If you are still the Zoey I knew, I'm gonna have to run to hug you."

"Nah, I've loosened up, still a girl but still an athlete."

Zoey got up and Dawn hugged her. "It's been so long. Are you going out for cheerleading?"

"No way. I quit that years ago, you know. I bet you could be captain though."

"You think?" Dawn moved to sit back down when she bumped into someone.

Oh no. It was him. Paul.

Paul scowled, "Wanna watch where you're going?"

"I could tell you the same thing!" She shot back, "This happens to be my desk, jackass."

"Oh, I apologize Princess," he sneered sarcastically.

Dawn rolled her eyes, "The name's Dawn, not Princess."

"And my name's Paul, not jackass," he smirked as Dawn sat down, defeated.

Zoey moved up and took the seat next to her. "Wow that was intense."

"I know, what's his problem? He needs to go take a chill pill," Dawn rolled her eyes and snuck a glance at him.

He was looking straight at her. She looked at him and their eyes met. There was a moment where nothing else around took any form, until he looked away.

His dark eyes were so…mysterious.

It's the mystery that makes him so intriguing.

"Wow," she whispered to herself.

A voice inside her pounded. No, you cannot like Paul.

Zoey whispered to her, "I heard every girl in this school thinks he's hot; most of them like him but he's never gone out with anyone here. He's turned down all the girls who asked him out. And he doesn't ask out anyone."

"I don't see anything special about him," Dawn lied. "So anyway, how have you been, Zoey?"

Dawn just checked her texts before their peppy teacher, Candice started taking attendance. She was fairly young and just told them to call her Candice, or Mrs. C.

3 New Text Messages.

She pressed OK. One was from May, one from Leaf and one from Marina, the girl that sat behind her in English.

To: Dawn
From: Leaf

Gary Oak has all classes with me. shoot me now. and how come you and May get first lunch and I get second? gosh, can we do something fun tonight?

Dawn shook her head. Bell Academy split their lunch period into two parts because of the large campus and population. Half the campus classes had lunch for the first hour of third class and the other half had it second hour of third class.

She snuck a look at the teacher to see if she would get caught texting. Candice was telling a story so she was safe.

To: Leaf
From: Dawn

have fun with Gary, I have Paul. he's terrible. and chill, Marina has second lunch too. make a new friend. and yeah we'll probably do something. you know how I do ;)

Onto the next message…from May.

To: Dawn
From: May

King 4= Ash Ketchum. I have him and Drew and cowface (Brianna). This sucks. But Ash is nice :). See ya at lunch!

There was no need to respond to that. She saw May after this class ended, because she had lunch before her next class. Of course May is already on a first name basis with Ash Ketchum and she's made the top of Paul's hit list.

Then a message from Marina

To: Dawn
From: Marina

So pumped for cheerleading tryouts! Let's meet at the gate, at 2 after class ends. Tryouts at 2:30.

Marina and Dawn became fast friends because if their love for cheerleading. They were both going out for the JV cheerleading team.

To: Marina
From: Dawn

i'll be there for sure! can't wait. heard the uniforms are adorable. :D

...

Dawn immediately sought out May for lunch but saw that she was already buddy buddy with Ash Ketchum, with Drew and Brianna following behind. May invited her to sit with them; she led them to a cute place under a tree.

Brianna immediately protested, "Ew that's just gross."

Dawn rolled her eyes, "Oh our apologies, Madame Déficit. If it's not grand enough for you, then leave. I don't have a problem with that."

Brianna sneered, "Fine, let's go Drewy."

Paul had to stifle a laugh as he approached.

Drew shrugged, "Actually, I'm thinking of sitting with the guys, Paul?"

"That's where I was heading," Paul walked forward after glancing at her. Dawn looked him right in the eye until he turned his face away.

Was it just her, or did he feel a spark as well?

Drew followed him and Brianna, neglected, ran off to where her friends were sitting.

"Who are 'the guys'?" Dawn asked Ash.

Ash was already stuffing a sandwich in his face. "They are just the guys on the JV football team. Paul is the quarterback and Drew is a cornerback. And Jimmy, you'll probably meet him sooner or later. Gary is on the team too, but he has second lunch."

While Ash was making jokes and May was giggling, Dawn began to feel like the third wheel. She felt like Ash wanted her to leave. She spotted Zoey and asked her to sit with them. Then Ash finally started talking about something she was interested in.

"There's a pretty cool club down the road from the campus. Every once in a while, Drew, Gary, occasionally Paul and I go down there. Actually we are going tonight," Ash explained in between bites.

"Hm, what this club called?" Dawn asked.

"It's called Club 13. Unlucky number or something but it's the coolest club around these parts."

Hmmmm. Maybe she, Leaf and May should make an appearance there. That way they could get to Drew without Brianna's interference.

...

What the hell? Why wasn't there a map to help her get around the god forsaken campus!

Dawn grumbled as she tried to find her way around to the cheerleading tryouts. Finally she came across a fence, on the other side was her destination: the football field. She looked around. Great, she thought, No opening anywhere nearby.

Startling her, the football team ran onto the field. Dawn had to admit, the boys looked very nice and were especially toned. She smiled and watched them goof around and then pick up with their plays.

Suddenly one of them dared to approach her. Taking off his helmet, he flipped his hair to the other side and smirked, "I'm guessing you are another fan."

Dawn was disgusted to see that it was the amazingly hot jerk that she had met earlier. "Yeah…not really," she tried to humor him, "I'm actually trying to get around this fence."

Paul's smirk turned into a scowl, "Why? I don't expect you to be athletic, Princess."

"Cheerleading tryouts jerk." God! Why couldn't she think of any good comebacks!

She tied her hair up in a ponytail as she glared at him. He just chuckled, "Cheerleader, I had you pegged for the type."

"The type?" She narrowed her eyes; she knew she wasn't going to like this answer.

Paul just smirked, "Yeah, the type that's way too energetic, loud, not so bright…"

"I AM PLEANTY BRIGHT! God, you are so mean! Just tell me how to get on the other side," Dawn huffed.

"Well if you are so bright, I'll let you figure out how to get on the other side," Paul walked away to rejoin his team.

"UG!" Dawn yelled, but luckily Marina appeared on the other side. "I thought I heard you. What happened?"

"I don't know where the entrance is and I just got into a fight with Mr. Phoenix King over there."

Marina gave her a sad smile. "Just follow me and we'll get you on the other side."

After walking five minutes Dawn ended up at the opening. She stormed straight towards the football field, with Marina following her.

Paul was drinking out of his water bottle when she walked up to him.

"You are a terrible person and I hope you fall and everyone runs over you and then you get hit in the face with the ball," she told him.

Paul shrugged off the comment, "Thanks for sharing." Then he picked up his helmet and ran back onto the field.

"He is so infuriating!" Dawn complained to Marina.

Marina just shook her head, "Come one, tryouts are about to start. When we make the team, you have every chance to kill him."

Dawn enjoyed that thought.

...

Club 13 was the hottest thing Dawn had ever seen. The music was loud. The bar was open. The lights were flashing. And she was feeling the urge to dance. But then Leaf spotted the guys and ruined her mood.

They walked over to them and she was slightly disappointed that Paul was not with them. She needed to know why.

"Let's see we have Happy, Flirty, and Smirky; where's Grumpy?" The guys seemed amused by their nicknames.

"Clubbing isn't exactly Paul's style. He might show up but right now, he's probably lifting weights or something," Drew cast a curious eye towards Dawn, as if trying to read her reaction.

Leaf and Gary disappeared on the dance floor and May and Ash went to "get some fresh air". Dawn was left with Drew so she decided to take the seat next to him and order herself vodka.

Drew seemed surprised at her actions. He leaned forward so that she could hear him. "Your friend Leaf seems to have taken Gary's interest."

"But that will just be until he has her won't it?" she asked in return.

Drew just raised her glass, giving her her answer. He took a drink and then continued.

"So you must be Dawn, the girl that yelled at Paul a couple times today."

Dawn laughed, "That would be me, and he's just aggravating."

"Then it's curious that you wanted to know where he was," Drew smirked.

Touché.

"Well that was just to see if I need to take an Advil or something for my nerves."

Drew groaned and checked his phone, "Speaking of something for my nerves."

"Your girlfriend?" Dawn knew that this was going to put him a few notches down.

Drew gave her a look, "She has called me seven times, sent me fifteen texts and left me five-no wait make that six voicemails."

Dawn just laughed, "Stalker, if you ask me."

"You're telling me." She had a feeling that it was the alcohol talking.

"Why don't you just dump her," Dawn asked, sincerely.

Drew just shrugged, "It's complicated but I think that it's time that I do."

"I'm sure the girls at school will be glad to hear that," Dawn laughed.

"Nah, I think they all know that if I liked them then I would have dated them by now," Drew took another sip.

Dawn thought out loud, "That sounds like something…"

"Paul would say?" Drew finished for her, "Because it was him that said it. So I saw you and Marina trying out for cheerleading, how did that go?"

"We both made it. And we are captains for the JV team, next year we are gonna try and be the Varsity captains."

"Bold move, next year I'm gonna try and beat out Paul for captain of the team."

"That's a bold move on your part, just hit him on the head with a bat and tie him up. No one will notice."

Drew laughed, "Hey, you're all right."

"I can say the same for you," Dawn smiled.

A simple fist pound sealed their friendship.


Second class was going to be hell. She knew it. May sighed. It was History, her worst subject. And the icing on the cake? She was the one that had to look after King Drew Hayden AND King Ash Ketchum.

Ash sat next to her, interrupting her thoughts, "Hi. I'm Ash Ketchum." Is this how one of the kings acts? Friendly and not full of authority?

"Hi. I'm May Maple."

"I never saw you last year. I thought I knew everyone."

May smiled, "Well my friends and I just came here. So you don't know everyone anymore."

"Well we'll have to fix that, won't we?" Ash challenged. "I'd like to get to know you, May Maple."

Could this be any easier? Oh wait. There's the other one, with the cow. May sighed. I guess I get one easy and one difficult.

"Well you could walk me to lunch," she suggested.

"Done," Ash promised.

Then the History teacher, Mr. Shirona started having a fit. "Brianna! Stop talking; you have plenty of time to annoy your boyfriend after class! Switch seats with Ash." The whole class started laughing, including Drew.

May waved as Ash groaned and got up.

"I don't know what you think you're doing but Ash will never go out with you," Brianna hissed.

"I was just being nice," May shot back, "What's your problem? Afraid your boyfriend's gonna dump you?"

"Drew loves me! He'd never dump me." Brianna started copying what Ms. Shirona was writing on the board.

"Everyone else around here thinks otherwise. It looks like you are just a little leech that he's sick of."

Brianna gasped. "I am not. You better shut your face or I will ruin you."

May laughed, "I'd love to see you try."

"I can! For one, I'm sure Ash isn't going to acknowledge you."

"Well I'll guess we'll just see about that." Those were the last words that May chose to acknowledge Brianna with.

Ms. Shriona was just talking and embarrassing students so she decided to give the boys nicknames.

Ash-Prince Charming (from Cinderella)

Drew- Prince Eric (from the Little Mermaid)

Gary- Aladdin (from Aladdin) May had to think about that one because she didn't know Gary but Aladdin was Leaf's favorite guy.

Paul- Beast (from Beauty and the Beast) May had no clue what to put for Paul so she texted Dawn who promptly replied with Beast. But May smiled when she realized Beauty and the Beast might define Dawn and Paul very well.

The bell rang what seemed like hours later and Ash walked up to May and offered her his hand, keeping his promise to escort her to lunch.

She smirked at Brianna who just pouted.

How Drew could stand Brianna, she didn't know.

"Lemme guess? You are wondering how we can stand her, aren't you." Ash asked May, knowingly.

"Well yeah, she's such a cow!"

"Hey that's mean, but appropriate. I mean she's Drew's girlfriend. Paul openly wishes that he'd dump her though."

May looked back at Drew and Brianna, "It looks like he's sick of her."

"I know. We'll just have to wait and see what happens."

...

May walked into her fourth class, arm in arm with Ash Ketchum. So far today she had become very good friends with Ash, become Drew's favorite person to tease and Brianna's new enemy in the span of about 5 hours.

"Hey Red Riding Hood, are you trying to hide your face from us all?" Drew asked.

May rolled her eyes, "Whatever, you wish I was Drew. You should be honored to be in the presence of such beauty."

"Sure, I should be."

Ash came up and pulled Drew's hood over his head, "Quit being a dork Drew."

Drew put his hands up in defeat, "Alright I'm leaving, see you later Maple."

Ash and May stood by her desk when May though of something. "Hey give me your number so I can text you later."

"Yeah sure," Ash took her phone and put his number in. "Just text me so I'll get yours."

"Alrighty," May said, texting him.

"So after school, do you wanna get some ice cream?"

May nodded, "Sure, but I thought you were going to Club 13?"

Ash shook his head, "We get out at 1:30. We aren't going to the club until at least 7."

"Then I'll see you then," May smiled as the bell rang for them to sit down.

It took a bit until May realized what exactly Ash had asked her. Was he asking me on a date or just as friends, she asked herself. I'll go as friends and see what happens.

She really did like Ash's personality and how he was. And he was cute.

Suddenly she became more excited about being at this school.

...

She ran outside to enjoy the splash of warm sun rays on her skin. May laughed and spun around in circles, glad to be free from that stuffy classroom. She tripped on a rock and before she fell, someone caught her.

Ash grinned, "Hey there spunky, slow down there." He led her to a small table and told her to wait while he got ice cream. He came back with chocolate for him and cherry for her.

"Cherry's my favorite, how did you know?" May was astonished.

"Lucky guess," Ash handed her a spoon.

May turned around when she heard music behind her. The people working at the ice cream place had brought out a boom box and were playing music. Somebody to Love started blasting in that secluded part of campus.

"Hey Ash!" May and Ash turned in the direction of the voice and saw some guys wearing Bell's Academy Baseball jackets ushering Ash to come to them.

Ash turned to May, "It'll just be a minute."

"Go ahead," she ushered.

May leaned back in her chair eating her ice cream letting the music consume her. Even though it was Justin Beiber singing, whom she hated; the music wasn't so bad in that situation.

Actually listening to that song made May think about her favorite quote.

When words fail, music speaks.

May looked over Ash laughing with his friends. One of the guys gave Ash a baseball jacket. When Ash held it up, she saw his last name on the back of it.

So he played baseball. Then she saw Ash nod in her direction and the guys decided to leave and Ash ran back to her.

"Sorry about that, they just needed to give me my jacket," he explained.

May held out her hand for the jacket. "This is cool; are you on the team?"

"Yeah last year I played football and baseball, but this year I decided to just do baseball. You know, you should come to one of the games."

"Definitely!" She agreed. "It'll be fun."

They spent the rest of the time, talking about music and for some reason ice skating. They walked back to her dorm house.

"We should make plans for tomorrow, there's an ice skating place. We can go around three-ish?"

"Okay," she hugged Ash then went to her room. Her mind was dizzy. That went a little too fast.

Then her phone vibrated. It was a text from Dawn.

To:May
From: Dawn

meet in my room at 6. wear something to go clubbing in. we are gonna have fun tonight! ;)

May quickly replied okay then wondered what Dawn had in mind.

...

At six exactly May was allowed entrance into Dawn's room. Leaf was flipping through a Snowy Outlets catalog.

"I have an idea!" Dawn sang.

"What now?" May asked wearily.

"Let's sneak out to the club!" Leaf and May just looked at her like she was crazy but Dawn had on her smile.

The smile of a queen.

Then they were in. May silently thought that it would be fun to see Ash.

After being in the club for about ten minutes, Ash asked her to get some fresh air with him.

Outside was chilly but Ash quickly shed his jacket and put it on her shoulders.

"This view is amazing," she breathed. They could see the whole city from the top of the club and from the side they could see the school. In the distance they could see the mountains with the tops covered in snow.

"I know; this is one of the best places to live. I'm from Pallet Town with Gary, but we love it here."

"Pallet town, as in Kanto? I'm originally from the Hoenn region. Dawn is from Twinleaf, and Leaf is from the Orange Islands."

"Really, Drew is too. Paul's from Veilstone."

"We have pretty diverse friends."

Ash put his hand over hers, "Well that's another thing we have in common then, isn't it."

"I guess so, so point out the skating rink for me from up here."

Ash bowed, "As you command."

When I see your profile in passing,
my heart begins to flutter and dance.
Listening to your voice as you talked,
I realized there was another "you."
I wish I had just a little bit of courage
to gaze into your eyes.
You may dream. Chase after it. If you can convey
these sincere feelings, your dreams can come true.
You may dream. Pure white love becomes wings,
as if the promise of an angel is coming true.


A/N: Oh la la! What have we here?

Wow, this first chapter was 20 pages. I think I'm gonna cut these chapters shorter…

Review please and tell me what you think. Also, what do you think will happen next?

~SG :)
