Me: Hello Everybody!
Couples featured in this story: What's Up?
Me: This is the epilogue to… ONCE UPON A ROSE!
CFITS: Yes! This horrible fic is finally over!
Me: You guys are mean! Now because of that, I won't feature any of you except May and Drew in my next fic; 4 Stones!
Drew: Uhhh, Fprmr1? The title is 4 Stones. Not 2 Stones. *mutters under breath* Idiot.
Me: I know that oh holy Grasshead! The other two main characters are going to be two OC's based on my crush and I. So there! And as further punishment, you will only have one Pokémon in the fic! HA!
May: Does that mean me too?
Me: Yeah, it means everybody in the fic except me! Oh, and the Pikachu I've been using for the disclaimers isn't Ash's Pikachu. She's my personal Pikachu and will be used in the next fic! Now, because I feel like doing something different, DREW! Do the disclaimer!
Drew: NO!
Me: If you don't I'll turn your hair PINK!
Drew: You already threatened me with that. Get original will you?
Me: Okay, how about this? I confiscate all your Pokémon put you in a room full of your most rabid fan girls, and meanwhile show May a whole photo album full of your most embarrassing moments with a paragraph under each picture explaining in detail what happened and why it's so embarrassing. Original enough for you?
Drew: Okay! Okay! Fprmr1 doesn't own Pokémon no matter how much she begs her parents her parents to buy it for her. Loser.
Me: That's It you get your threat any way, Roselia help me push Drew in that room, May here's the photo album. MUAHAHAHA! On with the fic!
Epilogue!
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony with summer air
It seemed like it was decades ago when May and her sisters first met their husbands. May was able to still faintly remember the childhood meeting.
She laughed when she remembered about Drew's behavior toward her childhood friend Brenden, but then she remembered about Masquerain and Beautifly, and how even back then they were completely in love. Wait didn't she hear somewhere that Pokémon reflect what their masters are feeling? Wow I guess everyone but us knew what we were feeling.
See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know
Fast forwarding to the time of the ball, May recalls that night as… mysterious. The decorations and lights were so bright and pretty. But that was nothing compared to the wonderful dresses that she saw that night. Of course being the daughter of a king gives you privileges.
She had a beautiful gown on that night too; it was an empire cut and made of a shimmery scarlet silk. On the bodice it had a delicate, glittering, flower and vine design.
She had on satin gladiator heels, and for an accessory she had on a glamorous yet modest tiara on the top of her hair which was styled into a bejeweled French twist.
And that was when he entered the scene. Gracefully making his way through the crowd of people, somehow in tune to the music that the orchestra was playing. Of course it was a masquerade ball so his face was covered by a mask, and so was she for that matter.
She remembered him all flustered trying to be suave. She couldn't believe that she was so naïve, how could she not see it was him, she could see his green hair peeking out from under the top hat he was wearing.
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said
That's when he gave her the rose, and left. She thought she found her real life Romeo, but was she didn't know was that her dad knew exactly who Romeo was and didn't want him near his precious Juliet. She agonized through the mystery of whom he was, crying her heart out, totally thinking she would never see him again. So she wrote in her diary…
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby just say yes
The morning after the ball, she made an imaginary plan. Just like the real Romeo and Juliet they would run away together. The rest of the world wouldn't bother them; it'd just be themselves, together, forever.
Romeo save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult but it's real
Don't be afraid we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh oh
That afternoon was when May and her sisters met Drew and his friends. From the instant she saw him; she knew it was her Romeo. And from the way her sisters were acting they found their Romeos too.
She then thought to herself, how could the Prince of the Northern Hoenn Kingdom ever like her? She told her sisters this and they said that who needs him? She's probably better off without him anyway. But she knew that she wouldn't get over him just yet, she needed to find out his feelings toward her.
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town and I said
Later after meeting them, she had no word of Drew. She didn't hear from him. That was until she found him in one of the hallways; he called her a clumsy idiot. She said he was an arrogant Grasshead and that's when the argument started.
After she got tired of yelling at him she told him to leave her alone. He then chuckled and told her she was just like that as kids, and she remembered about that fateful meeting, and knew he felt the same way about her.
Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I've been waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think.
She continued to argue with him throughout the day, and thought, He doesn't have a crush on me! What was I thinking? That was when she entered the dining hall. And she saw him perform. He stepped up to the stage alone and started to sing alone, she got his message and started to sing along and her faith for him returned.
(A/N: I'm going to mess up the song a little, in order for it to go with the plot of my story. Sorry if you don't like that but oh well.)
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cuz we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes escape this town for a little while
May and Drew decide to meet in the garden again the night before he has to leave, the same night they fixed up Leaf with Gary. She wanted to see him one more time, before he had to leave her, before her heart broke. They had to escape the craziness that was their messed up lives.
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go
She was nervous and angry, why did he have to leave her? Only days after they secretly got together. Why? She hugged him and she told him she would miss him. She was even going to beg him to no t go, to not leave her side, to go against her own father. When…
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said, marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby just say yes
He knelt to the ground. Pulled out that amazing red velvet box, and made her the happiest person in the world. He explained how he talked to her dad, changed his mind, just so he could have his blessing to marry May, his own personal Juliet.
He made a comment about her might wanting to pick out a white dress, and said those fateful words. May Maple would you do me the pleasure of being my wife? And that's how they got to be today, with a beautiful daughter named Ruby.
Of course her sisters got their happily ever after too. Gary proposed about a month after Drew did, Kenny a couple weeks after that, and Ash a couple of days after that. Each sister now had either a daughter or son and couldn't be happier.
May and Drew ruled over the entire Hoenn Kingdom since before Drew was the Prince of the North and May was the Princess of the South. Misty and Ash ruled over the Kanto Kingdom. Kenny and Dawn ruled over the Sinnoh Kingdom together. And finally Leaf and Gary governed Johto together. For all of them it was a beautiful and long love story.
Oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
And to think all this happened, once upon a rose.
