This was turning into one of the worsts nights of her life. Why did she agree into doing this? All of a sudden, she was immature again: she wants to kill Gary. Gary was so wrong. Brendan wasn't here and there seems to be no sign of Drew showing up at all. And now, she's stuck talking to her old classmates who used to be so nice but now have turned into major snobs. She finally concluded that the ones who didn't show up are those whose minds are still in the right place. Not like these people she's talking to: their heads are up in their ass.

She took another scoop of the punch when she noticed someone walk into the door. She smiled. She walked over to greet him.

"I can't believe you came. You said you weren't" She spoke laughing at him.

Gary shrugged at his step-sister. "There was nothing good on TV. Have you seen my wife?"

"Leaf?" She raised her brows at him in suspicion.

"No, mom. Who else would be my wife, May?" He snapped at her.

She raised her hands in the air for defense. "Hey, calm down. Dude, a few days ago you were reminding me that you guys were getting a divorce and now you're all defensive about her." She spoke rolling her eyes at him.

Gary scratched his head and sighed. "Whatever, have you seen her?"

"I think she's talking to Red." She pointed to the front of the room and found Leaf dancing with Red. "Well, they were talking."

"What, Red's still alive?" Gary whined.

May took a moment to stare at her brother for his odd comment. "He's the same age as you, dumbass." Rolling her eyes at him.

Gary gave a look to May, and scoffed. "Yeah, well I always thought he would have choked on his steroids by now." He glared at the two of them dancing not even looking at May.

May stared at him and slightly laughed, "Wait a minute." She smirked, "You're not jealous are you?"

Gary scoffed again. "Me? Jealous? Of what? My almost Ex-wife dancing with her high school crush, should I be jealous of that?" He said in a bitter tone.

"You're answering the question right now."

"I am not jealous!" He grinded his teeth.

May rolled her eyes, "Riiiight." She drags on.

"I'm not!"

She gave him a discouraged glare, knowing that her brother wasn't telling the truth. She did this until he got annoyed by her staring at him.

"May!" He snapped at her.

"Maybelle? Maybelle Maple?" A familiar voice called.

She froze at the sound of his voice calling her. After 10 years, it still gave her the chills. She turned around to see his handsome face and a smile crept on to her lips. He was here.

"Brendan." She said in utter disbelief.

He shook his head. "Hi." His smile could still melt anyone's heart, like a baby's first words.

"Hi." She echoed, her smile getting wider. He gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "I didn't think you'd come. You remember my brother, Gary."

"Yeah, of course." He shook Gary's hand. "I heard you married Leaf Green."

"We're not anymore, as proved by Red who's squeezing her ass." Gary pointed with a frown, "But I'm not jealous at all." He replied, in denial.

May made and uncomfortable face. She grabbed Brendan's hand and led him away from her in-denial brother.

"Arceus, how are you?" She asked. She led him to a far off corner of the ballroom behind the speakers of the DJ.

"I'm great. I'm fine." He grinned. "How about you? I mean, wow, you look great!" He complimented.

She blushed. "Thank you. You too... look great." She stuttered out a bit.

He chuckled, "So what do you do now?"

"I'm the Layout Editor for Hoenn Magazine."

"That's incredible. Then again, what should I expect from the Editor-in-Chief of our school newspaper." He chuckled again.

May smiled wider at the compliment. "Well, what about you? If I remember correctly, you wanted to be in medicine. Did that work out for you?" She asked him, slightly curious.

He laughed again, scratching the back of head. "Actually, I'm a pediatrician now." That just made May's heart melt; he was a children's doctor. It was cute and, somehow, in weird unexplainable way, sexy. "Um." He added on. "I hope I don't sound like an opportunist when I ask: are you seeing anyone, Maybelle?"

May laughed for a moment. "You know you're the only one who calls me Maybelle."

"Really? Isn't that your name, though?" He laughed, a blush was evident on his cheeks for embarrassment.

She giggled at him, "Well, it's my full name." She shrugged her shoulders.

"Oh, I'm sorry." He chucked again, still a bit flushed.

"No, it's okay. It made you seem special." She smiled up at him, looking into his eyes, it was like she was in a trance. "And, no, Maybelle's not seeing anyone."

"So, it would be okay to ask you out?" He dug his hands into his pockets, biting his lip, making him look adorably shy.

"Will you wear a suit?" She giggled, fiddling with his tie.

"Is that a yes?" He asked, smirking.


Gary would always ask himself what went wrong between him and Leaf. She was the girl that he fell madly in love with in high school and the girl he married two years after college. But the decision of the divorce was mutual. They both decided it was for the best after 3 years of marriage. The thing was, they grew apart. They didn't fight, yes. But at the same time they barely talked. Leaf wanted different things already. She wanted things that according to her, Gary was holding her back from. But Gary still doesn't get it. He doesn't understand why things had to end. He'll deny this if anyone asks, but he was still madly in love with his wife. While Leaf on the other hand, well she was obviously moving on.

The knock on the door came. Gary sighed, knowing that it was her. He got off his couch and answered the door.

"Hi." Leaf greeted with a kind smile. The kind of smile she gives when she's trying to be polite.

"Hi." He greeted back, not hiding his awkward feelings at all. He stepped to the side and let her inside.

His apartment was still clustered with unpacked boxes. On the table were two empty pizza boxes, five Chinese takeout boxes, and 3 liter bottles of Coco cola. So Gary knew Leaf was lying when she said, "The place is getting along."

Gary closed the door and dug his hands into his pockets. "You—you've got the papers, don't you?"

Leaf faced him with a grieved face. She nodded. She took out the neatly folded papers out of her bag and gave it to him with a pen.

He took a look at the documents and sighed. 'She'll never know the truth then.' He thought bitterly to himself.


The wind felt amazing hitting May's skin. She loves it when the wind would dance with her hair. The sun was setting creating an amazing orangey-yellow color to the sky. It was great day to be in the park at the moment. She was sitting on the grassy fields, near the lake. Her legs lay stretched down, one on top of the other. She liked doing this every Sunday. It was like a little time for herself. Maybe when she gets married she and her husband can spend their Sundays here too. Their kids could play in the playground or feed the ducks in the lake. But today, it was none of that. She was alone with her book, Pride and Prejudice. She's read it a thousand times by estimation, but it's her favorite book of all time.

"In vain I have struggled. It will do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell how ardently I admire and love you." Mr. Darcy confessed to Elizabeth. This was one of her favorite parts and lines from Mr. Darcy and the whole book. Mr. Darcy was an ass but who wouldn't fall for him with his delicious words and sweet gestures. The way he'd just step in for Elizabeth like that in her family's time of need.

She was about to read Elizabeth's witty answer when a tongue came slobbering her cheek.

"Oh!" She groaned, taken by surprise.

The Labrador barked and wagged its tail gaily, panting through her mouth.

"Hey, girl!" She giggled. She put the book down next to her. She kneeled over and started to scruff around with its shaggy coat.

"Rose, you can't just go around licking people." A male's voice came running over. She guess it was the dog's owner and the dog's name was Rose. "I am so sorry about that."

May laughed, "No, its fine. I love happy dogs." She glanced at the owner and her jaw dropped in shock. "Drew Hayden?" She stood up.

"May Maple." He smirked. "Wow, hi." He gave her a hug which she gladly accepted. "It's been a long time." He spoke, trying not to show how astonished he was.

"I know. Wow, you look—you look great!" She couldn't help but notice how his long green hair, got shorter and his body got really buff. But some things stayed the same like his crooked smile and his green eyes kept themselves glued to her.

"Are you hitting on me?" Drew smirked playfully at her.

May rolled her eyes, "Same old Drew."

He chuckled, and looked her up and down. "You look beautiful as ever." He charmed a smile at her.

She blushed lightly, and giggled. "So, is this your dog?"

"Yep, that's Roserade, but Rose for short. Had her since she was a puppy a few years back."

She smiled petting the dog once again, he found himself starring at her.

She glanced up at him, "What?" She asked, a light blush shown on her cheeks.

"Nothing." He swore. "I just—just missed you."

"You know for someone who just disappeared after prom and didn't keep in touch whatsoever!" She smirked up at him. "So, grass-head, what's the story?"
