Sorry for the wait.. EVERYTHING deleted on my laptop :/ So all the songs and chapters I haddone for both stories are GONE! I am going to finish both stories by the end of summer break since my highschool doesn't think students should have free time; we have about a gazillion assignments in Summer alone, imagine during school -_- Well here it is :
"No! I just don't want you here when we go to sleep!" May yelled back. Drew smirked.
"Here's the deal: We watch a movie, but when Dawn's mom comes, we'll leave. If you girls think you'll get in trouble because of us, we'll go through the window. Deal?" Paul asked. Everyone glanced at each other.
"Fine, but we pick the movie," Leaf announced pointing to the girls. Drew shrugged. Gary nodded and Paul laid back down. Ash turned tp the TV and got himself comfortable.
"Let's watch... um-mm... Aladdin, all three!" Dawn smiled. There was a faint groan from the male population in the room, but Dawn shrugged it off and popped in the DVDs.
Half-way through the second movie, everyone was fast asleep. Through the wedding bells and music, keys were heard, along with footsteps up the stairs.
The door crept open, then the person ran to another room and then came back. A smile crept on to Dawn's mom as she snapped some photos of her precious daughter laying against a boy with purple hair's chest. Her three best friends cuddled up with their childhood play dates. Drew, her helper, with May and Misty with Delia's boy, and some new boy with Dawn's new friend Leaf.
"DREW! ASH! PAUL! GARY!" Dawn screamed at the top of her lungs. "WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU WAKE US UP?" Dawn was now turning bright red and was hastily brushing her hair, glaring at the four dressed up calm, smirking boys.
"Well you girls looked so peaceful;we didn't feel like getting pounded for waking you girls up anyway," Drew stated smartly.
"Ugh! Now we're gonna be late! And all you four can do is smirk andstand there!" Misty groaned. She ran up to an open bathroom and came out within seconds ready and still pretty pissed off.
"ake yourself useful for once and hand me our bags," Leaf shouted as she threw her hair up in a ponytail. Gary smirked and tossed the bags over to the girls. "I can't believe we're gonna be late!" Leaf muttered angerily to herself.
"Hurry! We can't be late!" May shouted as she speed walked out of Dawn's bedroom ready to go.
"May, one tardy won't matter! Just hold on and don't rush! We're probably already late," Misty explained indifferemtly.
"No! I mean we literally can't! If we are, we can't perform in the talent show tonight!" May explained worriedly. All seven kids turned to her.
"What!" they all questioned in unison. Drew grabbed his keys and ran to the front. Paul and Gary hasitly followed and left Ash to expain.
"We left to get Drew's car awhile ago. Hurry or they'll leave you to run to school," Ash hasitly said as he ran after the guys.
"Go! May and I will go with themin case they leave. I mean they can't cancel our performance if only one of us are late! They'll make an exception," Misty thought. She walked out the door and dragged May along. Dawn and Leaf nodded as they rushed to get their things.
"I'll meet you outside, Dawn!" Leaf shouted slamming the door closed and jumping into the car.

"We're leaving," Drew stated as he started the car. The engin roared, and Drew shifted the gears to drive. May looked backand Misty did, too.
"Wait! There's Leaf!" May tapped Drew's shoulder. Drew lookedback and hit the brake. They waited long enough for Leaf to jump into the convertable.
"What about Dawn? And where's Paul?" Leaf questioned curiously. Drew rolled his eyes. "Didn't you have a different car before?" Leaf continued as they pulled closer to the school.
"Paul is going on his motorcyle. Dawn wasn't fast enough, so boo-hoo! I am rich. I have a bunch of cars. I just got in the first one I saw," Drew answered calmly as he parked his car in the school parking lot.
"What if she's late? What if she gets mad at s for ditching her and quits?" Leaf worried aloud. Drew scoffed and got out.
"Life has 'if' in it, but you just got to keep going and see what happens," Drew stated walking away into the building with five mintues to spare.
"Come on, Leaf. Be glad we didn't have to take the twenty minute walk and got ride. Besides, Dawn is probably cursing and running to school. She'll understand we couldn't stop Drew," Misty comforted Leaf and tried to lessen her own guilt.

"Aw man! They left! Fuck!" Dawn cursed as she ran down the block. Two blocks down and Dawn stopped. She turned to see where a roar of engine was coming from. Vroom Vroom. The engine became louder and closer.
"Troublesome. I can see you took forever to get ready," Paul smirked. Dawn huffed. She glared at Paul.
"I have no time for you! I need to run to school because your stupid friends couldn't wait for two more seconds!" Dawn pouted as she turned away and started sprinting. Paul rolled his eyes and easily caught up to her on his motorcycle.
"Hop on, now," Paul simply stated. Dawn stopped and turned. She walked over to him andsmiled slightly. Paul took off his helmet and put it on her. "Hold on, Troublesome." The motor started, and they were off. The two got to school in seconds. Paul turned roughly and parked his bike next to Drew's car.

"Dawn! Thank goodness you're on time!" Misty greeted as the bell rang. May smiled sweetly and cheerfully.
"Sorry we completely ditched you," the girls apologized. "Did you run?" the girls questioned realizing she got to the school very quickly for someone on her own two feet.
"No. Paul gave me a ride on his bike," Dawn expained cheerfully. The three gasped.
"Awwh! That's weirdly nice of him," Misty pointed out. Dawn nodded in agreement. Leaf suddenly gasped. The three girls turned to her, along with a few students in the classroom who heard it.
"We didn't bring our equitment becuase of using Drew's car and being late! We only have half an hour to spare afterschool before having to sign in and set up for our show!" Leaf panicly informed the rest of her group. Misty and May banged their head on the table and Dawn pulled her hair.
"SHit! We might have to send only one or two of us afterschool," Misty said. May lifted her head up in excitment.
"I got it!" May exclaimed. The girls gave huge hopeful smiles and urged May to explain. "I can go with Dawn during lunch and get my car since I'm the closet to Dawn. We both can run to our houses and Dawn can get as much as she can outside. I'll pass by and we can put everything in my car. Then afterschool we can get the rest only in car, so it'll be faster! Plus, since Misty and Leaf have an extra free period after lunch today because of the talent show, you can unload my car and we won't waste time or run out of room!" May smiled proudly of her plan. Misty nodded.
"Okay I'll time everything and make sure this works. Remember, if you two are late coming back from lunch, you might get in trouble. Are you really willingly to skip lunch?" Misty asked worriedly. May and Dawn looked and each other in doubt before Dawn smiled.
"I can figure out what to bring, so I can grab some snack we can eat on the way back and while running inside the building," Dawn smiled. May nodded in agreement.
"And we can buy snacks in the vending machines and the teachers will let us eat it in class, too." Misty agreed with what May just said.
"Okay then. We have our plan," Misty smiled and turned to face the annoyed, impatient teacher waiting for the annoucements to begin and end.

"Is that everything?" Misty asked Leaf as she set down the piano. Leaf groaned and nodded.
"I think they got the easy job. Maybe we should go afterschool," Leaf nodded as the sat down to relaxfor the last ten minutes of their free period.
"Let's ask them after this period, so we don't waste time after school," Misty pointed out as they got up to wait by the door with their stuff. "I wish these 'surprise' free periods were normal lengths instead of only 45 minutes," Misty complained after the bell rang.
"I know right!" Leaf agreed walking out and rushing to the next class, supervisory.

You guys actually ready for tonight?" Drew asked the three bums in the room. Paul grunted and shrugged. Ash looked and Gary and Paul then nodded.
"Of course we are, Drew! Are you?" Gary asked coyly. Drew rolledhis eyes and nodded.
"No shit. I forced you guys into this. I'm ready. I've been ready," Drew smirked cockly. Paul rolled his eyes and stood up.
"Well, we have to set up before Troublesome and her friends come running in with more things," Paul stated moving the drums to the canter of the stage. Then he pushed it back. "You guys gonna help, or am I gonna kick your asses first?" Paul questioned aroggantly and a bit annoyed.
"Whatever. Come on, guys," Drew commanded.

"I can't believe it! We're on in a couple minutes!" Dawn paniced. May laughed.
"We are going to rock this talent show!" May comforted. Misty and Leaf nodded in agreement.
"Geez, Troublesome. Whatever happened to your annoying motto, 'No need to worry'?" Paul questioned. Dawn turned and turned her small smile to a pout.
"Not now, Paul!" Dawn scolded. "I'm nervous! And.. I guess there is 'no need to worry'..." Dawn smiled to herself. Paul smirked and walked away towards the other members of his band. Misty smiled and was about to tease Dawn, but then the Mcee cut in.
"Now presenting, Girl Swag singing 'Make Me Wanna Die'!" Kenny gladly shouted into the microphone.
"Ugh. Does anyone have earpulls?" May groaned. Dawn gave a quizzical look to the stage.
"What's 'swag'?" Dawn asked. Misty and Leaf laughed and May facepalmed herself.
"Something they don't have," May replied as she pointed to the stage
Elizabeth, Jackie, and Edna took the stage. Each wore two pounds of make-up with a signature color. Elizabeth wore green,Jackie wore purple, and Enda wore pink.
"Enjoy our singing! No autographs until after the talent show, please,"Elizabeth aroggantly said before counting down silently.
"And this is dedicated to our special guys!" Jackie winked over at Drew's band. Elizabeth rolled her eyes and began again.
Take me - I'm alive,
Never was a girl with a wicked mind,
But everything looks better,
When the sun goes down.
I had everything: opportunities for eternity
And I could belong to the night.
Your eyes, your eyes,
I can see…in your eyes, your eyes.
You make me wanna die,
I'll never be good enough.
You make me wanna die
And everything you love
Will burn up in the light
Every time I look inside your eyes.
You make me wanna die.
Taste me, drink my soul,
Show me all the things, that I shouldn't know,
When there's a blue moon on the rise.
I had everything:
Opportunities for eternity
And I could belong to the night.
Your eyes, your eyes
I can see… in your eyes, your eyes
Everything…in your eyes, your eyes.
You make me wanna die,
I'll never be good enough.
You make me wanna die
And everything you love
Will burn up in the light
Every time I look inside your eyes.
(I'm running in the light)
You make me wanna die.
replie
I would die for you...my love, my love
I would lie for you…my love, my love
(Make me wanna die)
And I would steal for you…my love, my love
(Make me wanna die)
And I would die for you…my love, my love.
Will burn up in the light
Every time I look inside your eyes,
(I'm running in the light)
Look inside your eyes,
(I'm running in the light)
Look inside your eyes.
You make me wanna die.
"You make me wanna die," Dawn gagged. May and the girls laughed. Drew and Paul shuddered and Ash was dense as always.
"I wonder who their guys were," Ash turned to Gary. Gary face palmed himself and devolped a twitch
"Glad I ain't you guys," he replied.
"Well, that was an... intersting performance," Kenny sweat-dropped. "Now onto the fabulous Strawberry Girls!" Kenny smiled and shouted into the microphone.
"Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. We're up!" Leaf panicked. Misty laughed.
"Come on, 'fraidy cat," Misty pushed the girls on stage. A curtain rose and revealed their instrments. Dawn took her place behind her keyboard. May took thw microphone and smiled at the crowd. Leaf grabbed her tamborine and got ready to back up sin, too. Misty grabbed her drumsticks and practcally jumped into her seat behind the drums.
"You guys can take out your earphones. They're gone and we're about to rock this place!" May shouted happily into the microphones. The crowd laughed and May heard scoffs in the side of the stage.
"One, Two, three!" Misty shouted as May picked up her guitar. After starting it, she began to sing.
According to you I'm stupid, I'm useless
"You're so useless, May. You lose hope like that? Now I remember why I call you stupid." A voice all to familar to May sneered. May remembered and only made her voice grow louder and more powerful.
I can't do anything right
According to you I'm difficult, hard to please
"Jeez Mist. Sometimes you're so hard to please. Difficult in a way." Ash muttered.Misty recalled as her drumsticks hit the drums harder.
Forever changing my mind
"Of course. You never can make up you're mind. Esspecially when it comes to food." Drew teased.
I'm a mess in a dress, can't show up on time
"I mean you in a dress? What a mess that is, but I am nice you know." Drew said.
Even if it would save my life
"Even though Troublesome doesn't know how to do something as simple as show up on time.."
According to you, according to you
But according to him I'm beautiful, incredible
He can't get me out of his head
According to him I'm funny, irresistible
Everything he ever wanted
Everything is opposite, I don't feel like stopping it
So baby tell me what I got to lose
He's into me for everything I'm not
According to you
According to you I'm boring, I'm moody
And you can't take me any place
roseadetrainer11: bt ur so boring nd moody may... dsnt help our bored mood
According to you I suck at telling jokes
'Cause I always give it away
"Even though Troublesome doesn't know how to do something as simple as show up on time, or tell a joke
I'm the girl with the worst attention span
You're the boy who puts up with that
I mean seriously, you have the shortest attention, and we put up with it. Dawn remembered Paul's cruel words and hit her piano keys with a passion driven by anger.
According to you, according to you
But according to him I'm beautiful, incredible
He can't get me out of his head
According to him I'm funny, irresistible
Everything he ever wanted
Everything is opposite, I don't feel like stopping it
So baby tell me what I got to lose
He's into me for everything I'm not
According to you
I need to feel appreciated
Like I'm not hated, oh no
Why can't you see me through his eyes?
It's too bad, you're making me dizzy
But according to me you're stupid, you're useless
You can't do anything right
But according to him I'm beautiful, incredible
He can't get me out of his head
According to him I'm funny, irresistible
Everything he ever wanted
Everything is opposite, I don't feel like stopping it
Baby tell me what I got to lose
He's into me for everything I'm not
According to you, you
According to you, you
According to you I'm stupid, I'm useless
I can't do anything right
The crowd stood speechless as the girls almost whispered the last two lines. The last line was the most powerful yet softest.
