Hello, guys! I'm very sorry for my absence; I thought that my writing was terrible, so I was off FanFiction for a while. But I'm fine now! Anyway, last time, May was recruiting guys to become part of her play and secret plan! She can be vindictive sometimes; too bad she's also an airhead. GO MATCHMAKERS! ^.^' On with the chapter!
Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own Pokemon.
Chapter 7: Plan Preparation
May's POV
I stormed out of Drew's room with a frown. That guy almost always cheesed me off, and to think that I thought he was cute! He's a jerk face. I can't believe Paul made me cast him for my play. It's only a stepping stone in my plan, but I still wanted to actual performance to commence with no problems.
I walked to Ash and Gary's room. Outside of the door, I heard arguing. Actually, I only heard Gary shouting. Ash seemed to be...laughing? I rolled my eyes and knocked on the door. I heard someone stomp towards the door to open it. It was…Gary…WITH A STUPID MUSTACHE ON HIS UPPER LIP! I fell on the floor with laughter, about to shout out what I saw, but Gary pulled me into his dorm.
The state of Gary's room is somewhat messier than Drew's and Paul's room. I saw Ash on his bed, crying with laughter.
"Dude, did you do this?" I asked with a grin.
"Yes," he panted through his chuckles, "I did. Gary was annoying me, so when he took his 'beauty nap' as he calls it-"
"No I don't! It's j-just a normal…nap!"
"Anyway, while he was taking his 'normal nap', I got a black permanent marker pen and drew a moustache!" Ash fell off his bed and rolled around. He suddenly stood up, looked at me, and said, "This is what people call ROFLing!"
Gary and I face palmed at Ash's pleased face.
"Wait…" Gary suddenly realised, "did you just say permanent marker, Ashy boy?"
"Yup!" Ash gave me a thumbs up.
"YOU IDIOT!" Gary screeched. He started to pace around the room for a little, then, stood in front of Ash. "If it's permanent marker, then it means that it's permanently on my face!"
"Oh…" Ash mumbled. He then turned back to me. "Oh, well!"
"'OH WELL'?! THIS COULD RUIN MY RWTL!" Gary seethed.
"'RWTL'?" I echoed.
"Reputation With The Ladies," Ash supplied with a robotic voice, as if Gary had forcefully taught him that.
Gary screamed into his pillow, walked to the wall and continuously banged his head upon it. He really wants to get a headache…
"Let's come to the matter of hand here," I interrupted, "I would like you two to star in my play that us girls are putting on." There was silence. "Paul and Drew are also starring in it." More silence. "Please?"
"Sure! Will Misty be there?" Ash asked excitedly.
"Yep! She was hoping you'd agree, and now she'll be ecstatic!" I lied. This was just too easy!
"R-really?" he double checked, blushing.
"Yes, really," I promised. I then turned to Gary. "What about you, Gare, would you like to, as well?"
"First of all, my name is Gary, not 'Gare'. Second of all, what's in it for me?"
I racked my brain. "Oh, you know how Dawn is a genius with makeup, hair and clothes?"
"Yes, I recall that," he answered skeptically.
"She can take away your mustache," I told him.
"Really?" He didn't sound convinced. I nodded.
"And Leaf's going to star in it, too."
"What?! Okay, then!" He punched the air halfheartedly, and fell on his bed. "I'll be around your dorm in an hour to get the mustache off."
I took that as my cue to leave, so I took off after agreeing with Gary and saying goodbye to Ash. I then walked over to Ethan and Kenny's dorm with a spring in my step. The plan is so far successful! All I needed was Kenny, Ethan and a few other students enrolled here, so I could start!
I rapped on the door quickly. Ethan opened the door with a smile.
"Hello, May. How nice to see you. Come in, come in," he ushered me inside. I beamed at his politeness. When I got inside though, I gaped.
Their room was so tidy! Even tidier than my room! There was nothing on the floor except for the furniture and their shoes at the end of their beds. Kenny was located on his bed, playing his Nintendo Wii. He was playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I grinned, I LOVE THIS GAME! He looked up after pausing his brawl with Meta Knight.
"Hey, May. What's up?"
"I was wondering if you'd star in my play," I gushed out. They stared at me.
"Of course!" the both promised. I jumped up and down.
"SUCCESS!" I yelled. I did a little dance, and I didn't notice how embarrassingly bad I was until I realised Ethan and Kenny were staring at me.
"Oh, well," Ethan shrugged and started to dance. Kenny laughed and started opera singing.
"I have to say," I told them, "I thought you were really quiet guys…until now! I'll keep your dancing in mind for future parties."
I walked over to the door and waved to them. Ethan held the door open and saluted me. I grinned.
When I got back to my dorms, I heard the girls still giggling away. I put my best sad face on, and barged in.
"What's up?" Lyra asked, looking at my face.
"I…was bragging to…uh, Cindy about our play, when the boys overheard. They told Burgh and somehow got him to force them into our play."
"WHAT?!" Leaf shouted, knowing that her perverted 'friend' was going to be with her for a long time.
Lyra shrugged, "We were gonna had to of had some boys in the play. Burgh wouldn't agree otherwise, and it seems kinda sexist. Remember: Not all boys are perverted like Gary, Leaf."
"What about Ethan..?" Zoey teased.
The girls and I all gasped and squealed when we saw Lyra…BLUSH! Lyra is very pretty, but quite sensible and quiet. She hasn't had a boyfriend before, and has no interest in guys. UNTIL NOW! Lyra looked away and started fiddling with her necklace that she got from her old friend, Soul.
"Stop," I ordered the girls fro their teasing. "We need to prepare for our play. You have any ideas?"
"Actually, I'm kinda tired." Zoey yawned, stretched and got up. "I think I'm gonna head back."
"What? But we have planning to do!" I protested.
"We can't really plan if Burgh doesn't give us the go ahead," Leaf pointed out and stood up.
I gave a defeated sigh and watched the others file out of my room. Dawn sneezed and ran to the bathroom to get a tissue. She came back with one and blew her nose. She then changed out of her cheerleading outfit, and into pyjamas. I checked my watch; it was only six in the evening. Dinner was just about to start.
"I'm not hungry," Dawn muttered and pulled an eye mask over her eyes. "Oh, and while you were gone, Gary came 'round. He made me sort out this pen thing on his lip. But it's all sorted now…" She then quickly fell asleep. I shook my head and ran over to the cafeteria.
"The usual evening meal?" Doris asked. I nodded and held my plate out eagerly.
"You shouldn't eat so much," pointed out someone I want to BITE right now.
"Grasshead," I seethed and walked away from him with my plate filled high. Since my friends weren't here, it would seem kinda sadistic for me to sit at our usual big lunch table. I sat at one of the tables on the edge of the cafeteria, next to a window.
I sighed. It was raining. I hated the rain. I like clouds and fog (I'm weird like that…)! I started to eat my food, watching the rain and scheming.
Okay, so I have the perfect matchmaking. It's going to be Lyra and Ethan because Lyra clearly likes him. I think they'd make a great couple. They're both serious (but know how to have fun); smart, likeable, kind and they have loads in common. I also decided to make names for the couples I'm getting together. Lyra and Ethan are Heartsoulshipping, because they both have big hearts, and their souls are perfect. Okay, I sound really mushy and sensitive.
I'm going to pair Zoey with Kenny. I've known Zoey for quite a while, and I wondered why she kept giving Dawn the occasional cold shoulder when she said something stupid. I also knew that Kenny had a crush on Dawn, so I just added the two together. Zoey likes Kenny, but Kenny likes Dawn, and Dawn doesn't like anyone (yet). I think that Zoey and Kenny are great together because they balance out each other well, despite their differences. I mean, Zoey is tall, Kenny's kinda short. Zoey is calm and collected; Kenny can sometimes flip out with hyper-ness. Zoey is laid back, Kenny kinda leans to the front (okay, that doesn't really sound right). I'm going to call it Shootdownshipping because Kenny doesn't like Zoey (yet).
I'm going to get Misty and Ash together because I know she likes him, and he's really oblivious. She acts really old for her age, by being mature and a motherly type. Ash kinda seems like a mummy's boy and is SO immature! He's really thick, too! Misty was so mature that she knew what sex was in kindergarten. She told us, and that ruined me. Anyway, I'm going to call this Pokeshipping because Ash loves Pokemon so much that his love takes over the name. That might actually be what the relationship is like.
I'm going to get…Leaf and Gary together. Okay, I know what you're thinking: "What?! Gary's a PERV with no brain! You idiot! Poor Leaf…" But that's where you're WRONG! I know Gary, and I know that if he really likes Leaf, then he could tone the perv down, and there enters a sweet romantic guy. It's going to take a while, but I know it will be ADORABLE! I'm going to call it Oldrivalshipping, because I remember Misty telling me that Leaf and Gary actually used to be frenemies back in Pallet Town.
Last, but not least, I'm going to put Dawn and Paul together. I remember learning this in Science: Opposites attract, and, boy, Dawn and Paul are opposites. I mean, she's happy, he's sad. She smiles, he frowns. She cares about her image, he doesn't give a shit. She loves everyone; he probably would kill himself trying to get away from everyone. Dawn has loads of friends, Paul only has a few. I think they'd be PERFECT! Okay, maybe there are some kinks with Paul's…'issues' with people, but if I'm not May Haruka Maple, then there's no chance! Fortunately, I am May Haruka Maple, so I'm in luck. I'm going to call this Ikarishipping, because Dawn can kinda be big-headed and because I found out that 'Ikari' means hate in Japanese, and they sure act like they hate each other!
Okay, so I know that I don't like this guy, but since he's in the play, he deserves to be with someone. Drew may be an egotistical, pompous, arrogant, vindictive, horrible, cabbage head- Well, he may be all of those things, but he deserves to find love. At least if he's got someone, he wouldn't tease me so much… The thing is, I don't know who to pair him up with. It can't be someone in our little group, as they're all taken… I don't know, maybe Brianna? I mean, she clearly likes him (she showed her 'compassion' in that Art class…). Okay, I'll have to think about this with Drew.
"Hi, Airhead. Thinking about me?" Drew teased, sitting down in front of me.
"In your dreams," I seethed with gritted teeth. "Now, shoo. Go away, I have planning to do." I waved my hand to the other side of the room, trying to get him to leave.
"Planning for the play?" he asked with his smirk.
"Kind of…" I replied. I'm not telling him of all people what I'm up to! It's my business!
"Share to spill?" he asked, leaning in towards me a little.
I choose to ignore him, so I start to shovel food into my mouth. I look around the cafeteria. I ponder, wondering why it's so deserted. Ash isn't here, and he's the type of guy to run at the smell of food, like me.
I turn to Drew. "Where are the others?" I asked and scratched the back of my head, adjusting my bandanna.
"I dunno. Well, I kinda do know. Paul decided to read this mystery novel that's big on his mind. I think Gary is looking at himself in the mirror. Ash is playing this videogame, with a ton of snacks hidden under his bed, drawers, bags, hat and other places. Ethan is studying, and I think Kenny is practising for the play you're putting on," Drew supplied and flipped his hair.
I was tempted to ruffle up his hair, but he'd probably have a hissy fit.
"Whatever," I said, my mouth full. I finished up my food, and was about to leave, when Drew pulled me back.
"Wait, please." He looked at me with sadness in his eyes. What's up with that? Why has everyone gone all super depressed and boring?
"What do you want, Justin Bieber?" I joked. He stared at me with venom in his eyes.
"What did you just say…?" he asked me, fists clenched.
"I said that you were Justin Bieber. In fact: HEY FANGIRLS, LOOK HERE!" All the shallow girls I know, stopped what they were doing, and stared at Drew and I. "DREW IS JUSTIN BIEBER IN DISGUISE!"
I put my hands over my ears, and ran. I heard the rumble of the girls run to him, screaming and shouting. I turned back to him, seeing him scream with the commotion of it all. I noticed a flash right next to me. I turned to see a girl called Marina with a flashy camera and a pen. She had a tag on her waistcoat that said 'School Reporter'. I'm guessing she's part of the Newspaper club, then.
"Interesting," she mused, staring at the gaggle of girls. "I knew Drew was Justin Bieber in disguise." She dug in her pocket for something. "This is my card. See if you can make anything else happen."
I looked at her, then at the card she gave me, and laughed, "Actually, he isn't. He's just a dude copying him."
Marina cracked a smile. "Isn't that kinda mean? What will those girls do when they find out?"
I momentarily look at the girls. They're trying to rip off Drew's clothes and hair. I laughed and clutched my belly. Marina took another picture and turned to me.
"I guess we'll have to find out," I replied, finally answering her question. "And they're going to find out soon. I gotta run! See ya tomorrow!"
Marina waved me off, and I ran, just as I heard a girl scream, "HEY, HE ISN'T JUSTIN BIEBER! HE'S JUST SOME LOOK-ALIKE!"
"HOW AM I A LOOK-ALIKE WITH HAIR LIKE THIS?!" I heard Drew shout. He sounded kinda humiliated and bewildered. I'm so glad that this finally happened!
The last thing I remember, was retiring to my room, ripping of my clothes for pyjamas, and getting into bed.
Tomorrow, my plan will commence! I've figured everything out, so now I just need the results! It may take a while, but this should be good!
I just know it.
So there you have it! Sorry if it wasn't up to my usual standard! Did you guys like the Gary and Drew thing? I was particularly angry with them today, so I decided to dish out the punishments.
Drew and Gary: You did this to us, so we're going to do something to you!
Me: Gah! Uh-oh, gotta run, guys!
But please: Review, review and review! :D
