I couldn't wait to get this out. :D :D :D
I don't own Pokemon. (Or as my father says… "Penokeeman.")
*sigh*
It was the night of the masquerade ball. May decided to go to Dawn's house and pick out a dress, rather than buy one that she was only going to wear once.
Dawn shuffled through her closet. "I know I had something for you in here…" she muttered.
May was sitting on Dawn's bed. At this moment, she was really glad she was Dawn's friend. Dawn had more dresses than May had clothes!
"Here-try this." Dawn said, throwing her a dress.
"Holy…" Dawn said when May came out of the bathroom. The black strapless dress came down to just above her knees. It was decorated with an intricate lace design on her bust, going down to her mid-thigh. It was just so…perfect.
May spun around, checking herself out in the mirror. "I don't know…" she said uncertainly.
"May," Dawn said, exasperated, "You look like you just stepped off the runway. And we haven't even gotten your shoes yet! Or accessories..." Dawn ran to her closet, grabbing a pair of black heels and chucking them at May.
"Hey!" May shouted. "That hurt!"
Dawn was too busy rummaging through her jewelry box to notice. She furrowed her brow. Nothing she had was going to go with what May had.
"May," Dawn asked, "Do you have a necklace that would go with your outfit?"
May thought for a moment. "Well," she replied, "I have my sister's necklace…"
"Great." Dawn replied, rushed. She grabbed her dress-pink, naturally-and went to go change.
May looked through her bag. She slowly grabbed the box.
She took a deep breath, and opened it.
Logan's necklace was a silver chain with a rose engraved in glass. May delicately pulled it out of the case, and put it on. It felt weird, but somehow, it felt like Logan would have wanted her to wear it for a special night like tonight. She clasped it around her neck.
Dawn came out of the bathroom. Her pink taffeta dress was styled similar to May's, only Dawn's dress was simply a flashy rose. There was a black bow that went under her bust that was tied in the back. She had on pink heels, covered in black lace.
May looked up at her.
"DAMN, Girl!" She shrieked. Dawn, for once in her life, blushed.
Then, Dawn curled May's hair, and May straightened Dawn's, just because they were running out of time.
May grabbed a silver headband and placed it in her hair.
"Here," Dawn said, throwing a silver mask at May. May put the mask on and looked at her reflection.
She was shocked to see a beautiful girl, dressed elegantly yet simply. She smiled. She could be whoever she wanted to be tonight.
"You ready?" Dawn asked, grabbing her coat. May nodded.
It would be a night to remember.
They heard the song "Bottom's Up" playing when they entered.
May gasped. It was so much more elegant than she expected! The student council did an amazing job! It was like a fairy tale; rose petals lining the path inside…it was too much for words.
Except one-AMAZING.
Dawn smirked. "Nice, huh?"
May nodded, too awestruck to answer.
Dawn grabbed May's arm. "C'mon, let's get this party started!" she shouted as she ran across the gym.
May was standing on the side of the room, sipping her lemonade. Dawn was out and about flirting with everyone that crossed her path.
May scanned the room to find a guy that she knew, but they were all dressed in black tuxes! How were you supposed to tell them apart?
Oh, you're not. Right.
May sat down in a chair on the side and crossed her legs. This was lame…
"Hey there, sexy lady." A man said, coming up behind her and looking at her chest. "You've got some nice…uh…necklace." He was masked and had a super deep voice. May looked up, raising an eyebrow, and crossing her arms across her chest.
"Get out, you perv." She said disgustingly, turning to walk away.
He took a step so that he stood immediately in front of her. "Dream on, girlfriend!" he said in a super feminine voice completely unlike the one he used before.
That voice caught her off guard…
"Uh…" May said nervously. He was getting awfully close to her. She took a step back nervously.
Suddenly, he grabbed both of her arms in a deathly grip.
"Listen here, sweet pea." He muttered, digging his perfectly-manicured nails into her skin. She winced in pain.
"Ouch!"
"Shuuuut UP!" he whined. "I need to prove that I can snag a sexy girl and get laid tonight, and you're my girl!"
May's eyes widened behind the mask. Then, she started struggling.
"Get-off-of-me-you-FREAK!" she shouted, but she wasn't strong enough to escape. The guy chuckled as he placed a hand over her mouth.
"Now who's in a bind, sugar pie? You better be on the pill!" the guy said cheerfully, dragging her to the exit.
May was borderline tears now. "Please," she begged, "Let me go. Please!"
Only it came out "Mmph. Meh me wo. Mmph!"
A young man leaned against the wall. He crossed his arms as he gazed across to the scene unfolding across the room. The brunette beauty had caught his eye, and he'd been carefully observing her from a distance. He scowled as the purple haired guy approach her. He watched him warily-there was something off about him. Something about the way he acted…he couldn't place it.
His thoughts were interrupted by a high pitched "OUCH!" He focused his attention back to the young lady, and saw that she was struggling. He watched curiously as she yelled "Get-off-me-you-FREAK!"
Then the man chuckled evilly and covered her mouth with his hand, like he was about to kidnap her…
That did it. He got up and strode to the other side of the room.
"And you're going to LIKE IT!" the guy snarled at a panicked May.
Her eyes widened as she whimpered, trying to pulling away, but she just wasn't strong enough…
Suddenly, a fist popped out of nowhere, and knocked the purple haired guy to the ground.
The other guy scowled.
"Get your ass out of here before I call the cops." He snarled.
The creeper's eyes widened and he ran away faster than the energizer bunny on steroids.
May felt her legs give out as she fell to the ground weakly.
"Hey," the man said in a warm, comforting voice. He knelt next to her. "Are you alright?"
May shrugged, her face fixed in a frown. "Yeah."
The man tilted her chin up. She looked into his eyes.
They were green. Like leaves, grass; gentle and sincere, like the eyes of a friend…
She shook the thought. It was just some random stranger.
Besides, Dawn said that Ash told her Drew wasn't even coming tonight.
"I hope you know," he whispered, looking into her eyes, "That you are the most beautiful person in this room tonight."
May blushed. "No, I don't think so…"
He rolled his eyes. "Just take the compliment."
"Fine."
He stood up, and did a quick stretch. Then he offered her his hand.
"I hope you'll dance with me. After all, I did just save you from being raped by Harley."
May gasped. "THAT'S WHO THAT WAS!" she shrieked, surprised she didn't recognize the voice earlier.
"Yeah, his voice isn't easy to forget." He chuckled.
"And his walk's even harder to." She stuck out her tongue in disgust as she took his hand. He pulled her up, but her limbs were still unsteady and began to sway.
"Hey-" he said as he noticed her knees were about to give. He threw an arm around her waist and caught her up against him with a laugh as her hands flattened out against his chest.
May blushed furiously. "Sorry." She said as she pushed herself away from his comforting hold.
Grinning, he asked. "So, are you gonna dance with me?"
She smiled softly, and took his hand as he led her to the dance floor.
She tried to follow as he led her into a series of twirls and complicated steps; a cause for massive concentration on her part. He chuckled at this, and went back to simple steps back and forth.
"So," he said, slowly dancing in time to the music, "Who is this mystery girl that has everyone talking?"
Damn. May thought. 'Dawn was right!'
She shrugged, smirking. "That's for you to find out."
"However," she went on, "I'm not just going to tell you."
He looked at her, amused.
"Oh, really..." he mused, dipping her ever so elegantly.
May's breath hitched in her throat. "Y-yeah..." she answered nervously.
The mysterious couple had the whole room chatting.
"Who's that girl?"
"Who's the lucky guy?"
Dawn stood on the side of the room smirking.
"So she finally found him…" she mused.
"Found who?" someone with a husky voice asked, coming up behind her.
"Oh, nothing." She replied, blushing.
"Well, I found you, if that counts." He said, smirking.
She turned to him. "What do you mean?"
He shrugged, still smirking. "I dunno. Dance with me and you'll see what I mean."
She was taken aback. "Uh, okay?"
"So, you're here alone?" the guy asked, still dancing with her.
"Presumably." She retorted smartly, receiving a chuckle from him. "You?"
He shrugged. "I suppose."
She quirked an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"I mean," he said slowly, "You remind me of…" he trailed off.
"Who?" May inquired.
He shook his head. "Never mind."
Suddenly, the clock struck midnight. May looked up at the clock as he smirked beneath his mask.
"I guess I'm not lucky enough that you're Cinderella and all of your clothes will disappear at the stroke of midnight, huh?" he mused sarcastically, earning a chuckle from May.
"Dream on." She snorted.
He chuckled as he let go of her, only to pull on the strings of her mask.
"Wait." She said quickly, pulling his hands away. He tilted his head in confusion.
She suddenly felt a burst of confidence go through her as she leaned in and gave him a quick peck on the lips. She immediately felt her cheeks heat up as started to pull away, saying "I gotta go."
Then the guy grabbed her wrist and pulled her in to him. He kissed her tenderly, yet passionately, enough that May finally relaxed, and kissed him back just as enthusiastically.
She was kissing a virtual stranger.
And she didn't even care.
He pulled away, smirking.
'That smirk looks awfully familiar…' May thought.
He grabbed his mask and pulled the strings.
May's eyes widened as his face became clear…
It was…
"Drew?" she said shakily, taking a step back, her face frozen in shock.
|D: D: D:
BETCHA DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING!
*Coughs sarcastically*
