Me: Chapter Four! Don't own pokemon or the song 'Misery Business'.
Paul: Yeah…whatever.
Me: You guys will be shocked here.
Chapter 4: Unlucky in love with two
Drew returned to the room finding Ash, Mack, and Paul there. "Where's Gary?" Drew asked.
"Outside. Drew, we need to talk." Mack said. Drew shivered. It was like High School Musical.
------------------------
Ari went into her dorm finding Misty, Rose, and Dawn. "Hey girls. Where's May?" Ari asked.
"May's outside. Ari, we need to talk." Rose said. Ari was confused. It was like Camp Rock in her head.
-----------------------
"What did you want to talk about?" Drew asked.
"Well…it's about Ari." Ash said. Drew raised his eyebrow. "What about her?" he asked.
"Do you like her?" Paul asked.
"Well duh!"
"No. We mean, like, like." Mack said as he studied Drew's face. 'Red…yep, he's in love.'
----------------------
"Um, what will we talk about?" Ari asked her friends nervously.
"Are you in love with Drew Hayden?" Dawn blurted out. Misty and Rose glared at her.
Ari was taken aback. "Why are you asking?" she asked softly.
"Ari…" Misty began, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Just answer us. It's not against the law to fall in love with a guy, right?"
"Well…I guess I do like Drew…a lot." Ari admitted.
"Hmm…well, that's it!" Rose said.
"What, no questions, no 'answer these papers', no spill it, no whys, no how's, no anything?" Ari asked.
"No. We just want our best friend ok." Dawn said. "Hey, what's that in your pocket?"
"Um…nothing, anyways, gotta go, bye!" Ari said, leaving the room and the others confused.
"She is so in love." Rose said, shaking her head.
-------------------------------------
Drew slammed the door behind him. 'Can't they just mind their own business?' Drew asked himself.
Ari sighed as she closed the dorm door. 'I don't believe it…I actually like him more than a crush way…' she thought sadly.
Drew went to the ponds and sat on the bench. He was thinking hard. 'Who do I really like? May…' the thought, memories of him and May together… 'Or Ari?' then, memories of him and Ari laughing together came to his head.
------------------------------------------
Ari sat by the pond. She picked up two flowers, one water lily, and one red rose. 'Odd…it's like the water lily is Gary and the red rose is Drew…' she thought with a sigh. "I'm confused, I'm upset, this feeling's odd and I think I'm in love with two instead of one, my heart's going to another guy, and I can't seem to leave the other behind, who do I really love, I can't decide, it's too hard, I can't take it anymore, who do I really love, who is my real knight in shining armor?" She sang in her soft soprano voice, letting go of the two flowers in her hand.
---------------------------------------------
"Two paths my heart's going, it's a fork in the road, the choice of a lifetime, I can't see who the one for me is, it's too much, just too much, it's a two-way road, I can't pick her or the other, I can't eat, can't sleep, can't take them out of my mind whenever I want to, who is my real Rose in disguise?" Drew sang in his low-pitched voice, feeling peace around him. He opened his eyes and saw her sitting across the pond. Drew got surprised. 'She's here? It's like someone's granting my thoughts…' he thought.
---------------------------------------------
Ari looked to her left; too see Drew looking at her curiously. She blushed, thinking, 'Did he hear me? Man, I'm dead if he did!' she thought in despair. Drew got up and went to her, sitting on the rock on her left.
He smiled at her. "Hey Ari, do you know where Gary is?" he asked suddenly. Ari shrugged. "No clue."
--------------------------------------------
May was walking around the gardens when she saw Gary sitting by a tree.
"Hey Gary!" May called.
"Oh, hi May." Gary said with a smile.
"You know where Ari is? I need to talk to her." May asked with a frown.
"I was gonna ask you the same thing 'bout Drew." Gary said. He looked around and smirked. "Looks like they're going private over there!" he said, snickering. May looked and saw Drew and Ari laughing. Then, she felt a small bubble of anger in her. She went over there and snatched the pink cherry blossom Ari was holding. Drew stopped laughing and looked at May in irritation.
"May, do you mind? Were talking right now." He said, looking a bit angry. Ari then stood up quickly.
"No, it's ok. We probably have a group meeting now. See you Drew!" Ari said, walking back to her dorm. When she was gone, May glared at Drew.
"What?" Drew asked.
"What do mean 'what'? You two looked like you were flirting already! I almost got sick watching you two!" May said angrily.
"Well, excuse me May, but Ari appears to be my friend! It's not against the law to talk to a girl right?" Drew responded with a tightened fist.
"I know it's not against the law you bigheaded asshole!" May fumed. (I missed the swear words! XD)
"Well, I'm surprised you know that, you fat retard!" Drew responded with a glare.
"Fine, call me retard, but you're still an ass!" May said, leaving Drew speechless. Then, she went back to her room in anger.
"Man, you ok?" Gary asked, standing beside Drew.
"I'm fine. Just a little pissed."
"I'll tell the guys to not piss you off even more or the room goes upside down." Gary chuckled and went off.
'I swear I could've seen him blushing when he was with Arianne.' Gary thought.
--------------------------------------------
Ari was gasping when she came into the room. "Damn asthma." She said.
"Hey Ari! You know what, our first performance is tonight!" Misty said happily.
"WHAAAAAT?!" Ari shrieked, shocked.
"It is! And we already decided on a song, 'Misery Business', by Paramore." Rose said as she sat on the couch.
Ari relaxed. That song was one she had been practicing for months!
"Good thing." She sighed in relief.
"Hey guys!" May said when she entered the room. Four pairs of eyes studied her carefully. "What's with the stares?" she asked.
"Oh, nothing." Dawn said.
"Hey May, it's our first gig tonight, ok?" Misty asked as she was polishing her drumsticks.
"Ok. 'Misery Business' right?"
"How did you know May?" Rose asked.
"I have my ways." May said as she went to the bathroom.
Ari sighed. She had a feeling May was eavesdropping.
--------------------------------------------
It was six pm. The five girls went out, laughing, and wearing their clothes for the performance. Rose was wearing yellow, Dawn was wearing pale purple, Misty was wearing blue, May was wearing red, and Ari was wearing light green. They went backstage, and did last minute checks on their instruments. Misty was drumming lightly, Rose was testing the keyboards, Dawn was strumming her guitar, and Ari and May were testing their microphones.
"Ari, were gonna take turns with the vocals ok?" May reminded her.
"Is that even allowed? We'd be copying Mack's group." Ari asked worriedly. She didn't want to mention Drew's name now.
"It's ok. It's not against the rules." May said.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"…And now, let's welcome…the Party Girls!" Mrs. Radcliffe cried out. The five girls grinned and went to the stage, where they heard lots of screams, mostly from boys. (Sorry for the crappy band name- don't worry its temporary!)
"Let's do this." Misty said, beginning to drum. Dawn started to play the guitar, and Rose decided that she would do electric guitar. Ari grinned and began,
[Ari:]
I'm in the business
of misery, let's take it from the top
She's got a body like an
hourglass that's tickin' like a clock
It's a matter of time before
we all run out...
When I thought he was mine, she caught him by
the mouth
[May:]
I
waited eight long months, she finally set him free
I told him I
couldn't lie, he was the only one for me
Two weeks, two weeks and
we'd caught on fire
She's got it out for me, but I wear the
biggest smile
[Ari:]
Whoa,
I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa,
it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you
now
But God does it feels so good
[May:]
'Cause I
got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you
would
'Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good
[Ari:]
Second
chances they don't ever matter, people never change
Once a whore,
you're nothing more, I'm sorry that'll never change
And about
forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged
I'm sorry
honey, but I passed it up, now look this way!
[Ari and
May:]
Well there's a million other girls who do it just like
you
Looking as innocent as possible to get to who,
They want
and what they like, it's easy if you do it right
Well I refuse, I
refuse, I refuse!
[May:]
Whoa, I
never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, it
was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you
now
But God does it feel so good
'Cause I got him where I want
him right now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause
God it just feels so...
It just feels so good...
[Ari:]
I watched
his wildest dreams come true
And not one of them involving
you
Just watch my wildest dreams come true
Not one of them
involving...
[Dawn and Rose's guitar solo]
[May:]
Whoa,
I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now...
[Ari:]
Whoa, I
never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, it
was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
[May:]
But God
does it feels so good
'Cause I got him where I want him now
And
if you could then you know you would
'Cause God it just feels
so...
[Ari and May:]
It just feels so good!
The performance ended with Misty hitting the drums, Dawn and Rose strumming their guitars hard, and lights flashing all over the stage. Then Misty tossed her drumsticks in the air and caught it with a flourish. Then the crowd exploded with applause and screams. The five girls bowed and exited the stage.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh my gosh, that was so awesome! I could feel the electricity through my veins!" Rose exclaimed once they were back in their rooms.
"That's why it's called an electric guitar." Dawn said, laughing, emphasizing on the word electric.
Misty laughed and wrote something on a notebook. "Hey girls, isn't the name 'Party Girls' a little too overrated?" she asked.
"I sorta agree. I mean, Party Girls? It sounds like a spin-off to the song 'Party People'." Ari said.
"I know. We need a new band name." May said, a pencil tucked above her ear.
"People, write your suggestions here." Misty said, pointing at the paper.
Dawn wrote first. In her curvy handwriting, it said Twilight Five. Misty shook her head. "Dawn, you're too obsessed with Twilight." She said.
"Why, can you do better?" Dawn challenged. Misty took the paper and wrote Fearless Girlz.
"The Z was written on purpose." Misty explained.
Rose grabbed the paper and wrote 'M.A.R.D.M.' "It stands for May, Ari, Rose, Dawn, and Misty." She said.
Ari took the paper, thought for a moment and wrote 'Unbroken Angels'. "It came to my head because were like, inseparable and I was thinking of the song 'Angels'." She said sheepishly.
May got the paper and wrote 'Maybelle's five'. "My first name is Maybelle." She said.
"Well…what will we choose?" Misty asked.
"We'll decide tomorrow." Dawn declared.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Me: That was weird. Anyways, you reviewers have to vote which name will be the band's name since I don't know what's best. If you have a suggestion, please suggest it since I still have to make the boys' band name. Here are the names:
Twilight Five from Dawn
Fearless Girlz from Misty
M.A.R.D.M. from Rose
Unbroken Angels from Ari
Maybelle's Five from May
Oh, and please don't correct the Girlz part. Like Misty said, it was on purpose.
See you!!!
