What happened to Cilan is exactly what Iris feared once she got after school detention. Guys came after him and attacked him. He said that he tried to reason with them, but it obviously didn't work. Iris ran as fast as she could to the hospital. She couldn't believe what she just heard. As she opened the door, she looked around the room full of beds, nurses, doctors, and hospital equipment. Not to long after, she spotted her friends around a hospital bed and rushed right towards them. The others were just leaving, so they said their goodbyes and left. Tears instantly fell down her face as she saw him in bed, all bruised and bandaged up.
Cilan smiled at her and grabbed her hand from the bed. "I'm glad you're here… I thought you never wanted to see me again."
Iris looked away as she whipped away her tears with her free hand. "That would never be the case, Cilan," she softly stated.
Cilan beamed. "Well, I'm glad."
Iris smiled a bit, seeing how happy he looked. "…I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"Avoiding you…"
"It's no big deal, as long as you're here now."
Iris looked down with a frown. She blames herself for this whole mess. She could've told him that there were guys targeting him, could've made sure those guys couldn't move when she left, or even worked with him to stop them. But she just didn't think things through, and now that Iris acted, she was so ashamed that she let him down again. So Iris avoided him. Cilan has told her before to not cause trouble and then she goes and gets in trouble again, and left him wide open to those who were after him. It crushes her seeing Cilan like this. There was so much he's done for her, even now. She can see that he's smiling to keep her from feeling upset about this. Iris smiled at him again, and put her hands against his. "Of course Cilan! And I'll be here for you, every day and any second I can!" It was the least Iris thought she could do for him.

Today during class, it was announced a school dance was being held on Valentine's Day, and everyone was excited. People were already going around asking their dates out. Brendan was no exception. During his least interesting class, he wrote a note to his girlfriend, Sapphire. He was supposed to be reading a book, but it was so boring and complicated to understand. So he'd figure he'll write a note instead and figure out the book later. During lunch, he went and found who he believed was Sapphire, and gave her the note. She gave him a weird look before reading the note.
"…Wow, that's so sweet!" she said.
"Huh?" Brendan said.
"With this note, I'm sure Sapphire would have no choice but to accept your invination to the dance!"
"What?" Brendan got extremely red and grabbed the note from her and starred at her in shock. "… You aren't Sapphire?"
May looked at him with a confused look. "Nope. My name is May."
"…Right. I knew that!" Brendan let out a nervous laugh.
May glared at him in disbelief. "Sure."
Brendan scratched the back of his head. "Anyways, you really think she'll like this note?"
"Honestly… I don't really know her that well at all." May had a couple of classes with her, but never talked to her. "But I think it's a really sweet note! I'd have a hard time saying no if I was her!"
"Oh! Well, thanks."
Drew then rushed over towards May. "There you are! Here I got these for you!" Drew held out some roses. He let out a nervous laugh.
"…Oh thanks."

Jessie of course wanted to go the dance. But James wouldn't do it, and most of the other students had ideas of who they wanted to ask out. Then she got an idea. She went up to Meowth and said, "you are going to the dance with me!"
Meowth sighed. "Oh joy," he sarcastically said.
Jessie fixed up Meowth's face and did everything she could think of to make him look like a hot man.
"Ow ow ow! Hey what's the big idea?" Meowth screamed.
After she was done, she sighed. "I guess that'll do. After all, you are just getting me in there so I can get with the cute teachers that are going to be there!"
"… Of course. So after I get you in, I can ditch you at the dance?"
Jessie barred her that and clenched her fist at Meowth. "Yes! I don't care what you do once we go through that door!" She screamed at him. Then turned away from him and crossed her arms.
Meowth gave a worried look. "Oh really?" Meowth wondered.

The next day, Sapphire sat next to May on the bus, and told her that her boyfriend has been continuously mistaken him for May. May clenched her hands and furrowed her eyebrows when she heard that.
"Well, your boyfriend has also mistaken me for you too!" May said.
"Oh…" Sapphire looked down with a sad look.
"What idiots! They don't seem to know their girlfriends that well!"
"…I guess not."
May crossed her arms. "We'll show them!" May gasped as a thought occurred to her.
Sapphire gave her a confused look.
"Yeah! Let's play a trick on them! If they can't tell us apart, then we'll just switch out on them!"
Sapphire gasped. "Oh… Are you sure that's a good idea?"
"Hey, don't worry! I won't try anything on your guy!"
"W-well, that's not what I meant."
"It'll just be for a little while. Just to mess with them a bit. Come on, it'll be fun!"
"Alright…"

Clemont was in the library trying to find a book when he heard someone sigh. He looked to where the noise was coming from, and saw Max.
"Oh hello," Clemont said.
Max peeked through the book he was attempting to read. "Oh… Hi."
"How are you today?"
"Fine. Just great. You?"
Clemont raised a brow as Max slouched back and groaned.
Suddenly Max shoot back up. "Hey! You're Bonnie's brother, right?"
"…Yeah. Why do you ask?"
"Oh… Well, you know. Just wondering."
Clemont gave him a confused look.
"Sorry for bothering you…" Max lifted up his book again. The book was titled 'Teen Girl Heartthrobs' with a muscled guy without a shirt on the cover.
"…Okay."
Max wanted to look good so Bonnie could be interested in him. But the guys that girls like seem hard to achieve. He wonders if he can do it in time.

After school, Bianca sat under a tree looking at a notice about the dance that they got during one period.
Hilda ran up to Bianca. "There you are! What are you doing here, Bianca?"
"You got the information about the dance, right?" Bianca asked.
"Of course! Aren't you excited about it?"
Bianca sighed. "I would be… if I could go."
Hilda sat down next to Bianca. "… Why wouldn't you be able to go?"
"Did you read the part that tells you how you won't be able to go?"
"Yeah, if you have an F and if you have after school detention. Hasn't Cheren been helping you get better grades?"
"Yeah. I got good grades now. But…" Bianca frowned with tears forming in her eyes.
"Oh right… The notebook that had your name on it, that said those awful things about the principal."
"With all the students coming in saying that I was mean to them, added up with all the nasty things that was blamed for, and now this… I have like a month plus full of detention!"
Hilda crossed her arms. "But that's not fair! They have no proof that any of this is your fault!"
"I know… But what can I do about this? Cheren hasn't even been able to get the people whose been doing this to me!"
Hilda clenched her fist together. "Don't you worry, Bianca! Once we find out who's been doing this to you, we'll all give em what for!"
Bianca just stared blankly at the ground.

Max ran up to Ash when he found him.
"Hey Ash!" Max shouted.
"Hey Max! how have you been?" Ash asked.
"Alright… So I have a favor to ask."
"What is it?"
"So I've been thinking, you have had a lot luck with the ladies. I mean, my sister was not so lucky, but you also had two other girls wanting to get with you!"
"…Well, that's true. I did have a lot of girls wanting to get with me."
"So I need your help to be more like you!"
"…More like me?"
"Yes! Please Ash! I… really like this girl. But I'm so out of her league!"
Ash smirked. "Well, I'm sure if you train harder, you'd defiantly be in her league in no time!"
"Ash! I'm serious! Please!"
Ash gave him a confused look. "Okay. I can help you be like me, if you want."
"Alright! Thanks Ash!"
Ash started telling Max all about what he does, and his interest, and Max started jotting it all down.
