**Dancing Butterflies**
Author's note: Just sit back, relax and chill. Enjoy the story!
Disclaimer: Why do people have to go through these things? It's not like the odds are pretty high of the person who owns Pokemon would be writing fanfiction…And no…I do not own the song "Butterfly" by Mariah Carey, and "Never Had A Dream Come True" by S Club 7.
Dedications: Once again goes out to: Sabrina2001, Sweetiepie103771(Erin), Arrow, and a newcomer, Lupin285, thanks everybody!

Still an hour left to the dance, and they were starting to collect the votes of the Spring Prince and Princess. Gary did return to the dance after a half an hour of him and Ash's incident; and wasn't doing too shabby on the dance floor. Knowing him, he does get Ash going, and probably needed to cool off a little, usually he never sweats it. But this, he felt was a prize he needed to win. Sure, he cared about being the best in Pokemon battles but he wanted to prove that Ash wasn't the guy Misty should've chosen—in other words, to himself, Ash was a sleeze-bucket. He was gonna be that damn Prince, if it had to kill him. Misty was the winning girl as you could see already.
"Hey Misty, I'm voting for you! You can count on it!" A girl shouted over music.
"Yea, us too!" A group of boys said as well.
"Um, wow, thanks!" Misty couldn't believe it, her first time at a Pallet get-together and everyone liked her. No one really seemed to be voting for Ash, that made her a little intimidated because she hadn't known anyone except for Ash and Gary in the small town; and if she did win, which the chances were pretty high, she'd be nervous with the boy who did win.
"Now we're about to draw the votes to a close as soon as these ten teens finish…" The disc jockey announced. There was still time left. Misty went to the bathroom lounge to have some time to think. The word spreading was Gary had the leading vote for prince. After all, he was a good dancer, so who was to blame? Misty peeked out of the lounge to see only one more girl was left. The moment of truth was coming up.
"Your votes are now in, this will take a few minutes to count, please be patient." A judge said.
"Phew! Gives me a little more time…" Misty thought out loud.
"I'm sorry everyone, this was an easier than we thought, all these were for one girl and boy! We have now decided!" The woman corrected her mistake.
"Shit!" Misty said out of nerves.
"And the winners are…"
"Oh no…oh no…oh no…"
"Gary Oak, and Misty Williams!"
Everyone clapped at their votes…their only votes to be exact. Misty was extremely intimidated to go up now, this was the boy she blew off to go with Ash, just to make him happy. She loved Ash, but Ash might have taken it the wrong way; see she said it so proudly was because she meant it in a sisterly-way, but on second hand, she had a small crush on Ash. Misty was so confused. She had no choice so she made her way up to the platform where Gary was standing with the judges and D.J. They placed the crown/tiara on one another's heads and began to slow dance in the center with all the other couples surrounding them, dancing also. Gary was looking at her with a why-did-you-choose-him-over-me look. It was pitiful. As Misty was beginning to say something they began to play the song.
"Shhh," Gary hushed with his finger to her mouth, "tell me after this dance, okay?" Gary smiled. Misty nodded and in turn with a weak smile back. She skimmed the floor with her eyes to see Ash was dancing with another girl. Maybe he took it the right way, she thought.

Everybody's got something, they had to leave behind,
One regret from yesterday, that just seems to grow with time,
There's no use looking back, oh wondering,
(oh wondering),
How it could be now, oh might have been,
(oh might have been),
Oh this I know, but still I can't find ways to let you go,
I never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby,
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be with you.
Somewhere in my memory I've lost all sense of time,
And tomorrow can never be 'cause yesterday is all that fills my mind,
There's no use looking back, oh wondering
(oh wondering),
How it should be now, oh might have been
(oh might have been),
Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go,
I never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby,
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be
You'll always be the dream that fills my head
Yes you will, say you will, you know you will oh baby,
You'll always be the one I know I'll never forget,
There's no use looking back oh wondering,
(oh wondering),
Because love is a strange and funny thing,
(and funny thing),
No matter how I try, I try I just can't say goodbye, no no no no,
I never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby,
I never found the words to say,
(never found the words to say),
You're the one I think about each day,
(you're the one I think about each day),
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be with you.
A part of me will always be with you, oooohhh.

"Now what'd you want to tell me, Mist?" Mist? He was calling her Mist? MISTY just sighed.
"I wanted to tell you that…well…" Ash came running out and calling to her.

- When you love someone so deeply
They become your life
It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside
Blindly I imaged I could
Keep you under glass
Now I understand to hold you
I must open my hands
And watch you rise
Chorus:
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly
I have learned that beauty
Has to flourish in the light
Wild horses run unbridled
Or their spirit dies
You have given me the courage
To be all that I can
And truly feel your heart will
Lead you back to me when you're
Ready to land
Chorus
I can't pretend these tears
Aren't overflowing steadily
I can't prevent this hurt from
Almost overtaking me
But I will stand and say goodbye
For you'll never be mine
Until you know the way it feels to fly
Chorus
So flutter through the sky
Butterfly
Spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

"Yo Mist, it's time to go," The girl Ash danced with last walked past him and said a friendly goodbye. "bye, Alyssa. Ready?" Ash was directing to Misty.
"Ah, yea, let's go." Ash and Misty started to walk but Gary stopped them.
"Again, you go with…that."
"Well, Ash is my friend…I'm staying with him at his house, and he's not a that…he's a guy just as you are." Misty replied coyly. Gary let out a sly, little chuckle.
"Misty just keep walking, ignore him; Take it from me, I've done it many times too many."
"Oh yea? Just wait and see Ash, just wait and see what happens, I'm not going to do anything here, there are lots of witnesses around. See ya later Misty."
"BULL SHIT GARY, PURE BULL SHIT!"
"What do you think he's going to do, Ash?" Misty asked. Ash didn't reply.
