Hoenn High of Dreams


Chapter threeee! Someone, disclaimer, please!
May: Seasons of April do not own Pokemon.
Me: Yeah, I still don't own Pokemon... Anyway, read on!


May rushed to her dorm room, wanting to get change into some proper clothes. She looked around the room. There were two bunk beds, a rather large table and a few closets. May's only roommate, however, was Marina. Misty stayed in another dorm room nearby.

She tossed her bag on her bed, opening the closet. Hm, what should I wear? May thought, but she gave a second thought. Oh, who cares? It's just a play-date!

'Bang!' The door slammed open. May spun around, realizing that it was the girl whose room was next door.

"Um, hi, Sandra…" May greeted, rather confused.

"Hi, May! Sorry for barging in, but…um, could I borrow something from you?" Sandra asked. She had a star hairclip clipped on her purple opal hair and had emerald eyes. She wore a lime green shirt under a lavender jacket, and a pair of pink shorts, which at first glance, looked like a skirt. Her feet had white socks on, clad in orange sneakers.

Sandra was new in Hoenn High, and was two years younger than May. Even though Sandra was young, she was just as skilled as May in contests, often giving advice to her own mother about contests.

"Oh, sure! But, what do you need?" May smiled, but then asked in confusion.

"Well, my PokeGear is acting a little screwed up, so could I borrow yours for a moment?" Sandra asked.

"Oh, all right." May took out her PokeGear from her bag, handing it to Sandra.

"Thanks!" Sandra smiled.

"Thanks? You do know I want something in return, right?" May grinned.

"Huh?"

"I'm going for a date." May said, not wanting to blow up the whole "play-date" thing.

"Oh, really?! Who's the lucky guy?"

Heh, lucky? Oh man, I'll just have to blame on my luck to have met him! May thought. "Um, secret!" The brunette said instead. "Anyway! I was just wondering if you could help me pick my outfit."

"Oh, of course, May!" Sandra smiled. She looked into May's closet. "Woah…" The girl muttered under her breathe as she sweat dropped. All there was in May's closet were a few sets of the uniform, and some other plain clothes. "You sure have a lot of plain clothes…"

May just had a bewildered look on.

"Oh, no offense!" Sandra sheepishly smiled. "But you should wear something more…more…" Sandra searched her mind for the right word.

"Hot?" May asked.

"Yeah, that's it!"

"Like…what?" May glance at her wardrobe.

"Like…a cool dress! Or just something with a skirt. From what I see, the only skirt, or rather, skirts, I see here are part of the school uniform!" Sandra sweat dropped as she peered in the closet once more.

"Hmm…" May rubbed her chin. "Oh, yeah! My traveling clothes!"

"Clothes that travel?"

"No, I meant the clothes I wear while traveling."

"Oh, you mean that orange outfit with that green bandanna?"

"Uh-huh! Does that skirt count?"

"I guess…"

"Hey!" May peered behind Sandra as Sandra turned around. Misty and Marina walked in, in their uniforms.

"What's going on?" Misty asked.

"Oh, uh… I tell you in a second!" May grabbed some clothes from her closet, running into her dorm room's bathroom.

"O—kay… What's going on?" Marina repeated Misty's words, asking Sandra this time.

"May said she was going on a date, so she was asking me to help pick her outfit." Sandra replied, pressing some buttons on May's PokeGear, wanting to call someone. She accidentally pressed the wrong buttons, coming across May's Contacts. "Hm? What's this?" She stared at the word "Draw."

"Oh, that's-" Misty quickly covered Marina's mouth.

"Secret, remember?!" Misty whispered angrily.

"Oh, right…" Marina whispered back. "Oh, that's just May's little brother's, Max, number! Max loves to draw, so May entered his name as "Draw!" Marina replied nervously.

"Oh, but…" Sandra looked back at the PokeGear. "Here's Max's number, so…"

"Uh… Oh, Marina, you're so forgetful! It was Max's friend!" Misty quickly resorted.

"Oh, yeah! I'm so forgetful!" Marina exclaimed, putting up some bad acting.

"Um, all right…" Sandra stared at the two girls, confused. She let it go by her, deciding not to ask anymore.

Misty and Marina sigh in relieve, though Sandra didn't seem to notice.

Sandra pressed a few more buttons, calling her mother. "Hey, mom! I'm going to visit today!"

"Oh? That's great, honey!" Sandra's mother, Savannah, replied.

Mother and daughter chatted for a while, but the bathroom's door suddenly screeched open. "Oh, uh, mom? I got to go now." Sandra said, hanging up. She looked up and smiled at May.

"Well? How's this?" May asked the girls. She was wearing a sleeveless orange top, which had a vertical white stripe on it and two Poke Ball logos on it. Along with the top, she wore a pair of black shorts. The brunette also wore a green bandanna over her chestnut hair, and black and white gloves on her hands.

"Cool! You look great!" Sandra smiled, walking towards the brunette, handing the PokeGear to her. "Thanks for lending me your PokeGear, May. See you!" Sandra said, running out of the dormitory room.

"No prob.! Bye!" May smiled back as Sandra headed for the door. May took out a green waist bag from her closet, strapping it around her waist. She placed her Poke Balls, PokeGear, PokeNav and PokeDex in her bag, turning to Marina and Misty.

"Guess I'm ready!"

"Ready for your date with Drew?" Misty asked with a smirk.

Marina giggled without a single word.

May signaled the two girls to come closer. Misty and Marina went closer, knowing May wants to whisper something. "It's a play date!" May whispered softly.

"Aw, such a pity! I thought you two were dating!" Misty smirked, not believing May's words.

"It's true, okay? We need to "break up"(quotes with fingers) in front of everyone, so first, play date!" May told the two girls.

"Oh, really, really?" Marina asked with a grin.

"Believe what you want, but what I said is true." May said, walking towards the door.

As soon as May disappeared out of the door, Misty and Marina started to whisper to each other.

"Think what she said was true?" Misty asked.

Marina hesitated to answer.

"NAH!" The two girls said in unison, absolutely not believing May's words.


Drew lethargically flipped through his closet, wondering what to wear. He was going on that "date" with May, that girl he just met. He sigh, clearly annoyed about what his fans thought: he and May together? They only just talked to each other! Drew sighed once more, flipping through his clothes as the screeching sound of the hangers rubbing against the steel rod of the closet annoyed one of his roommates.

"Drew, stop it already!" A sixteen year old brunet covered his ears with his pillow as he lie on his bed.

Drew turned to his annoyed roommate. He smirked and continued moving the clothes, continuing the screeching noise. Boy, it's so fun to annoy Gary.

The brunet known as Gary tossed and turned in his "sleep," annoyed at Drew. He sat up, tossing the blanket aside. "Stop already, okay?!"

Drew chuckled. "Ha, it's a Saturday, Gary. I thought you would hang out with your fan girls?"

Gary groaned. "Ugh… Not this time… The history teacher is driving me nuts! She makes me go dizzy with all those dates, and events, years…"

"Okay, I get it." Drew interrupted. He thought about Gary's history teacher, Mrs. Smith. That lady… She was one of the strictest teachers in Hoenn High. Even if her student was a celebrity, she wouldn't give any exceptions.

"I'm just tired… So please… STOP THAT NOISE!" Gary yelled, collapsing on his bed.

Drew rolled his eyes. He turned back to his closet, finally deciding what to wear. I don't think she'll really care what I wear, so this should do!


Hm, wonder where May is… Drew thought as he went to the same spot where he met the brunette.

"Hey!" Drew spun around, and his emerald eyes met May's sapphire eyes. May stopped and took a good look at Drew, her eyes scanning him from head to toe. Drew was wearing a turtleneck black shirt that had sleeves that reached his wrist. He wore a lavender jacket over his black shirt, and aquamarine denims. Drew stared back, scanning her from head to toe as well.

"…Hi, May." Drew finally said in a calm manner.

"Hi," May smiled back. She was actually beginning to hate Drew less for some unknown reason that not even May know. "So, um… Are you sure this whole "break-up" thing is gonna help us?"

"You were the one who suggested it."

"No, all I said was that I wanted to "break-up," that's it."

"You mentioned it, anyway. But I think it would work…"

"It'd better. I don't want people thinking I'm dating you, the most conceited brat in all of Hoenn." May mocked.

"And I don't want people to think I'm dating you, a plain girl who has to hide her true self in this little forest." Drew scoffed.

May lower jaw dropped open at that comment. She glared into Drew's emerald eyes as Drew glared into May's sapphire eyes. "What?! I don't hide my tr-"

"Well, you are here, not in your usual "good girl" attitude." Drew interjected as he started to smirk.

"Ugh! Impossible brat!" May stomped her feet in rage and punch the air in a downward movement, walking pass Drew to reach a log. She kicked the log in rage, greatly affected by Drew's words. She continued to kick the log till the log started to get damaged. She stopped for a short break, panting.

"Woah. For a "good girl," you sure are strong." Drew commented, staring at the damaged log.

May spun around in anger, flames in her eyes. "Don't call me a good girl!" May shouted. "Fine! I hide my true self! So what?!" The brunette yelled, tears welled up in her sapphire eyes. She fought back the tears. She can't let Drew see her cry. Not him out of all people. He was like her new-found archenemy. If he were to see her cry, he would probably laugh about it for as long as he lives. He would make fun of her, and tell everyone about it. She would never let him see her cry, not on her life.

Drew had a flabbergasted look on his face. He then started to grin. "It was just a comment. Come on, you're not going to be a crybaby, are you?" He smirked.

May gave it a thought and nodded. Drew was right. She can't just cry over little things that others say. May wiped her tears away with her right arm. "R-right. Right…" May nodded again. She brighten, turning to Drew. "Thanks."

"Heh!" Drew flicked his green hair. "It's only right for a "boyfriend" to encourage his "girlfriend," right?" He smirked.

The brunette's smile faded at Drew's comment. "Thanks a lot…" She said with sarcasm.

Drew smirked. "So, are we going to practice this whole "dating" thing already?"

May smiled and nodded. "What's first?"

Drew held his hand out without a word.

The brunette stared at his hand, then back up at the green haired boy. "You were serious about that "holding hands" thing?!"

Drew rolled his eyes. "Yeah, of course!"

May hesitated. The dreaded thought of holding hands with Drew just makes her shiver in fright. Slowly, on instincts, her hand reached out, grabbing Drew's hand. Hey, this isn't so bad…

The two teenagers stared at each other's hand, obviously deep in thought.

"So, um…" May began, wanting to break the silence. "Tell me again, how many days till the contest?"

"Uh, about eighteen days, I think." Drew replied.

"What?!" May quickly let go of his hand. "I have to hold your hand for eighteen days?! That's about two hundred and sixteen hours!" May yelled, only counting twelve hours of each day.

Drew just blinked his emerald eyes. "Well, if you don't want everyone to think that we're dating, just do it." He said firmly.

May gave a long sigh. "Fine…" She pouted, taking his hand in hers. I hate fans…

Drew smiled softly. "All right. Next…" Drew used his free hand to throw a Poke Ball. His Masquarain emerged, hovering above May and Drew.

Masquerain silently grin at the sight of his master holding another girl's hand. Haha, a girlfriend, eh?

"A Masquerain?" May kept her eyes on the hovering bug Pokemon. "Oh, I know!" An idea quickly formed in May's complex mind. She dug in bag, searching for her Poke Ball. She tossed the device in the air as Beautifly emerged.

Ooh! One for me, too! Masquerain thought and flew over to the elegant black butterfly. Masquerain circled Beautifly once before bowing, as if asking her to dance with him. Beautifly smiled and bowed back, as if saying "yes."

The two bug Pokemon started to circle around each other, doing some kind of dance.

"Aw, isn't that cute!" May squealed as she watched the two Pokemon gracefully danced around each other.

Drew didn't reply. He instead smiled as the two Pokemon danced around in mid-air.

Suddenly, a question crossed May's mind. She turned to Drew, wanting to ask him something. "How is this the next step?"

"Well, couples usually have Pokemon who are couples too, so…" Drew continued watching the two bug Pokemon dance, replying May without eye contact.

"…So you called Masquerain out…?" May interrupted.

Drew nodded.

"I don't think this is such a good idea… I mean, when we "break-up," will Masquerain and Beautifly still stick together?" May asked with a somewhat concerned look.

"Yeah, but we don't have to be together for them to be together."

"True, but…"

"No buts. Just go according to plan." Drew interrupted.

"Uh," May hesitated to answer, unsure of what to say. "Mm!" May nodded.

The two bug types stopped and bowed again, seemingly finishing their dance. Beautifly flew back to May, sitting on her head. Masquerain hovered to Drew, sitting on his right shoulder.

"Hey, Beautifly. Had a nice dance?" May asked with a smile. Beautifly nodded happily. It was quite obvious that the butterfly had taken a liking to Masquerain. May smiled back, turning to Drew.

"…What?" Drew asked, a little uneasy about her stare.

"Can we let out hands go now?" May asked. They stared into each other's eyes, their cheeks starting to redden.

"Uh, yeah," Drew quickly let go of her hand before the stare could continued.

May glanced at her PokeGear, realizing it was already five P.M. "Five already?" May muttered under her breath. "Going to be dinner soon!" The brunette stretched her arms.

"Well, uh, want to join me for dinner?" Drew managed to cough up the words.

"Haha, do you eat in your dormitory room? Where your fan girls can't find you?" May chuckled in a joking manner.

"Heh, of course not. I, a school celeb', obviously dine in refine restaurants." Drew smirked.

"Hah. Nah, I'll pass. I don't want to receive death glares from your little fans!" The brunette giggled jokingly. "Well, bye! See you tomorrow!" May waved, walking away. May turned back to the path with a sigh. She actually enjoyed that little play-date.

The green haired boy watched May walked off, sighing. He looked over his shoulder, noticing that Masquerain had been staring at Beautifly as May walked away. "You really took a liking to her, huh?"
