A Wish On A Star, Part 3
By Songbreeze
******
Last Time:
Daisy jumped off the bed and squealed. "Okay, since you're going to the dance with Gary and Lilly's going with Tracey and I'm going, we'll have to go shopping. We need to get some dresses, shoes, oh and we need money. Oh we could also..."
Chris groaned as Daisy continued her list. 'What did I get myself into now?'
******
"Mmm *sigh* mmm, Dais, you a wake?" asked a groggy Chris.
"Yeah, *yawn* what do you want Chris?" Daisy said as she answered with a question.
"I was just thinking. Do you ever wonder why we're here? I mean one moment we were at Lilly's house and the next we're here. Were we sent here for a reason? And if we were, what are we supposed to do? And if we do it, will we be sent back home? I mean did this happen on purpose or did it happen by accident..." Chris asked as she trailed off.
"Who knows, but..." said Daisy.
"But what?"
"But did you ever wish to come here? And if you did, did you wish it just before we watch the show?"
"Well, kind of. I wanted to go somewhere where I was accepted. What are you getting at?" asked Chris curiously.
"Nothing really, did you notice the shooting star outside that night," asked Chris.
Daisy frowned as she tried to recall what had happened that night. 'Well we were at Lilly's house and we were watching Pokemon when the star fell. Oh my God... that's it! We must have wished to come here all at once and when we wish to go back, providing there's a shooting star, we will!'
"No, what's that look for? I bet you just figured it all out didn't you?" asked Chris suspiciously.
"Yes, well, I did. But I'll tell you and Lilly later. I promise," said the blond, not wanting to give anything away. "Is there anything that you want to do today?"
"Well, I thought we could try to get to know Misty better. Maybe we could go for ice cream with her or go shopping with her or something like that." Chris watched in amusement as Daisy's eyes lit up when she mentioned shopping. "It's 10:37, I guess we should get up and get ready."
"Yeah, I call the bathroom!" Daisy yelled as she jumped up and bolted into the bathroom before Chris could do anything.
'Boy, she sure can move when she wants to,' she though with amusement. Chris got up, and stretched. 'Hmm, I guess I should put out our clothes.' Chris carefully laid out Daisy's blue shirt and blue flared jeans. Then moving towards her dresser, she laid out her dragon shirt and her blue jeans. As soon as Chris finished putting the clothes out, she heard Daisy come in.
"'Kay Chris, I'm done!" Replied a now fully refreshed Daisy.
"Thanks Daisy," Chris shouted to her friend who had successfully shooed her out of the room.
******
"Good morning Chris. Good morning Daisy. Did you sleep well?" asked an overly cheerful Mrs. Ketchum.
"Yes we did Mrs. Ketchum," said Daisy as she wolfed down her breakfast.
"G'morning, Mrs. Ketchum. Is Misty up, we need to talk to her." Chris asked through a mouthful of cereal.
"Yes she is, she's outside with her Togepi."
"Thank you," Chris said as she dragged Daisy outside to see a certain red-haired girl.
******
"Hey Misty!" yelled Daisy, startling the redhead.
Misty smiled and yelled, "Good morning guys!"
"Hey Misty, I, er, I mean, we were wondering if you would like to get some ice cream with us?"
Misty smiled and nodded her head, "Sure I would love to. I just need to go and talk to Brock. I'll be back in a bit."
"Okay, we'll wait for you." Daisy yelled to Misty's retreating back.
"Do you think I should let my Dratini out?" Chris asked. She seemed a little unsure with the proposition of having her smallest and weakest Pokemon out.
"Sure, maybe it'll help Dratini evolve." Replied Daisy with a firm voice.
Chris released her Dratini and it wrapped itself around her neck.
"Okay guys, I'm ready to leave." Misty said as she ran across the lawn.
"Hey Misty, why didn't you leave Togepi with Ash? I mean Ash was just over on the other side of the house and Brock was over by the lake, wasn't he?" Chris asked Misty innocently.
"WHAT?!?!?! Me? Leave Togepi with that dumb ass????? Are you nuts?????" screamed Misty.
"Uh, sorry I asked?" Chris said as a sweatdrop appeared on her forehead. "Well I guess we should go. Right?"
"Yeah."
"Sure."
******
"Hi Prof. Oak!" said Misty as they entered the Professor's large ranch house.
"Oh, hello Misty," said Prof. Oak, looking up from his work. "Is there something I can do for you?"
"Yes, there is," Daisy started.
"We would like to know where Lilly is." finished Chris.
"Oh, she's out back in the stable collecting her Rapidash," said Prof. Oak.
"Thank you!" said all three girls at once.
Prof. Oak smiled. "You're welcome."
Chris looked at the professor. "Um, you two go on. I need to talk with Prof. Oak."
"'Kay, bye Chris!" said Daisy as she and Misty went to find Lilly. "We'll meet you outside in five minutes, okay?"
"Yeah, see ya!" Chris then turned to the Prof. "Um, you said you wanted to study my Pokemon?
"Why, I do recall saying so," replied the professor.
"Here," Chris said, as she handed him her pokeballs and her Dratini after unraveling it from her neck. "You can keep them for a few days. Could you call me when you're done?"
Prof. Oak's eyes lit up. As he looked at the pokeballs, Chris smiled. The professor looked like a kid in a candy store. "Sure, I'll call you later." He went to work as Chris went outside to wait for Daisy, Misty, and Lilly.
******
"Hey Chris!"
"Hey Lil, are you ready to go?" Chris shouted at her friend.
"Yeah," said Lilly as if it was the stupidest question she'd ever heard in her life.
"Do you know where Daisy and Misty are?" asked Chris, looking around.
Lilly looked at Chris and said, "Yes, they said they'd meet us at the parlour."
"So, lets go then." Chris said exasperatedly.
******
"Hey guys!" shouted Lilly to Misty and Daisy. Misty and Daisy waved to the two girls and motioned them to join them in the booth. The booth had a red table with blue cushioned benches. The benches were large enough to hold three people to a side and were large and made with foam.
About three minutes after the group sat down, a young waiter came and took their orders. "So ladies, what'll it be?" He asked them with a wink.
Lilly started first, "I'll have sundae with caramel sauce."
"I'll have a small banana split with strawberry sauce and nuts," said Misty before Daisy could order.
"I'll have a hot fudge sundae with peanuts," said a huffy Daisy.
Chris ordered last, "I'll have two scoops of rocky road."
The waiter checked the order and left. "So, Misty... How long have you known Ash?" Lilly asked. She had a hunch that Misty liked Ash and vice versa, but both were too stubborn to admit it.
"Oh, about four years," Misty replied with the faintest blush on her cheeks.
"So, just how did you meet him?" Daisy asked with false curiosity because she already knew exactly how they met.
Misty smiled slightly at the memory of Ash on her fishing rod, "Well," she started. "It all started when I felt this tug on my fishing line. I thought it was a Pokemon, but when I reeled it in, it was really heavy. I though it was a Slowpoke or something along those lines. It turned out to be this guy who had an adorable Pikachu. They were being chased by a large flock of Spearow and in order to escape them, the guy, whose name was Ash, stole my bike. He went off to the Pokemon centre in Viridian City. Later, when I found by bike, it was burnt to a crisp! Anyhow, I found him and help him defeat Team Rocket who was trying to steal all the Pokemon from the centre. After that I told him that I would follow him until he bought me a brand new bike. And the rest, as the say way history."
"Wow, what a story..." said Lilly, "Oh, heads up girls!" After a few minutes of eating their frozen desserts, Chris spoke.
"Are you guys going to the dance?" Chris asked, hoping there would be someone there that she knew.
"Yeah, Tracey's taking me," said Lilly.
"I'm going solo!" said Daisy, "Who knows how many cute guys will be there?"
Lilly and Chris rolled their eyes at their friend.
"Well, I don't know if I'm going or not." All three heads turned to Misty in amazement.
"Why not? You should go! Just come with me and we can scope out all the cute guys together!" said Lilly.
"But, no one's asked me yet..." Mist started. After thinking for about 30 seconds she said, "Alright! I'll go with you Daisy!"
Daisy looked at her watch and jumped up in surprise "Holy sh*t! Look at the time, if we wanna find the perfect dresses, we otta go now!" She looked at the other girls who nodded in agreement. So walking out of the parlour arm in arm, the four girls made their way into the mall.
*****
It didn't take long for the girls to find their dresses, but their accessories were another matter. While Misty was out hunting for the perfect pair of gloves to go with her dress, Lilly, Daisy, and Chris waited outside on a bench.
"Hey guys?"
"Yeah, Dais?" Replied Lilly.
"Do you remember the shooting star when we were all at you house the other day?"
"Yeah." Replied Lilly and Daisy in sync.
"Did you guys make a wish?"
"Yeah."
"Yup."
"What did you wish for?"
"I wanted to go somewhere where I was accepted for who I was." Lilly said, her eyes downcast.
"Me too." Chris said.
"I think all three of us made the same wish and because of that we're here."
Lilly looked like she was about to protest, but Chris said, "Think about it. It makes sense. We wished to be where we would fit in, and we fit in perfectly her. We know almost everything about this place and no one make fun of us for it."
"Yeah, I guess it does make sense."
"See?" Daisy prompted.
"Yeah. I'm glad we came here." Lilly said.
"Me too." Chris said.
"Me three," smiled Daisy and the girls shared a group hug.
Misty chose that moment to leave the shop, "Hey guys, I found them! They're so nice and they feel like satin."
"Way to go Misty." Chris said.
"Yeah, you'll knock 'em dead!" Daisy said as she twirled around with Misty.
"Aww, you guys are just saying that."
"No we aren't. You'll have every guy in Pallet after you... except for Tracey," Lilly said.
"Yeah," Misty said, with a look of hope on her face.
"Come on girls!" Shouted Daisy, "Let's go. The dance is tomorrow and we need to figure out how we're gonna do our hair!"
Lilly and Chris just rolled their eyes and Daisy linked arms with Misty led her off. Jogging slightly, Lilly whispered to Chris, "And people think I'm insane."
Chris didn't say anything, but her eyes twinkled in amusement.
******
It was the night of the dance and Tracey paced the landing in front of the stairs. He had been waiting for his girlfriend, Lilly, for fifteen minutes. He paused and straightened out his black dress shirt. He unconsciously smoothed out his white dress pants and checked his black shoes for scuffs. He wanted everything to be perfect for Lilly. He looked at the clock. They were going to be late if Lily took any longer. He looked up at the stairs for the hundredth time and a lump formed in his throat. There was Lilly. She looked absolutely spectacular.
Lilly looked at Tracey's face and stifled a giggle. I mean she knew she looked good. Misty, Daisy and Chris all told her that, but now she believed it. She looked down at the stairs as she went to meet Tracey. She twirled around, letting him have the full view of her outfit. She was wearing an orange dress with a halter-top styled neck and back. The neckline wasn't too low cut, but it gave off an impressive view of her chest. The skirt came up to her mid-thigh. Her hair was swept back with decorated combs. Lilly wore only a minimal amount of make-up, lip-gloss, concealer, and blush.
Tracey swallowed the lump in his throat and said, "Uh, you look lovely, Lilly."
"Thank you," Lilly looked at the clock on the wall, "I think we should go, or else we'll be late."
"Yeah," Tracey offered his arm to Lilly. She took it and together, they made their way to the country club.
******
Night of the dance
In Ash's spare bedroom:
"Are they out there?" asked a nervous Misty as she fidgeted with her white satin dress.
"Why are you nervous? You look great," and what Chris said was true. Mist looked very, very pretty in her dress. The dress was made from white satin and had matching elbow gloves. The dress clung to her newly matured body perfectly. The skirt reached her ankles and had two slits that reached her knees. The neckline was fairly high boat-neck with spaghetti straps. On her feet she wore white flats. The only piece of jewelry Misty wore was a silver necklace with a tear shaped blue crystal. Her hair was up in a French-twist and few curls framed her face. Her make-up was subtle, just a little eye shadow and lip-gloss. Over all the effect was quite stunning.
"Okay, enough about you! How do I look?" asked Daisy as she finished applying Chris' make-up. Daisy had on a powder blue tube dress that reached her mid-thigh. Her hair was curled softly and pulled up into a half ponytail with her curls spilling on to her shoulders. All her accessories were gold, earrings, shoes, a bracelet, a ring, and a chain that clung loosely to her waist. Her make-up consisted of powder blue eye shadow, frosted pink lipstick and gold shimmer dust on her face, chest and shoulders.
"For the millionth time! You look fine!" Said an unusually high-strung Chris.
"Hey Chris? Could you see if the guys are ready for the dance?"
"Sure Mist." Chris ran outside the room, down the white hall and peered around, down the stairs. Sure enough, Ash and Brock were there. They were over by the door, letting Gary inside. Flustered, Chris ran back to the room, "They're ready and Gary's here. How do I look?"
"Chris, you look beautiful! You have nothing to worry about!" And what Daisy had said was true. Chris did look beautiful in her Chinese, red and black dress. It had red as a base with black trimming and black dragons stitched into the fabric. The dress went to her ankles and it had a knee-high slit that allowed her to move her legs freely. Chris' make-up consisted of brown toned eye shadow. Daisy decided not to use any lipstick, lip-gloss, or blush, because Chris looked fine with out it. She did use mascara and eye liner to enhance Chris' eyes. The only accessory Chris wore were black hair sticks that held her hair in a bun.
"I guess we should go and make our grand debut," suggested a hyper Daisy. Even though she didn't have a date like Lilly and Chris, she was going with Ash, Brock and Misty. "Any objections?" She waited a moment then said, "No? Good! Let's go!"
******
Ash was getting antsy. He was tired of waiting. He looked over at Brock, who was off in La-la land, thinking of Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny. His face was beat read and it clashed with his navy blue shirt and black. While Gary looked, well for once he looked nervous. He looked cool in his white dress shirt and pressed khakis.
Ash looked down at his own ensemble of a cream sweater and black pants. Adorning his head, as usual, was his 'Official Pokemon League Hat'. Ash was suddenly very glad that he had on his black T-shirt; he was already getting a little warm. 'It should be cooler outside,' he thought hopefully. Ash's gaze wandered over to the staircase. One by one he watched the girls come down, Daisy, Chris and finally Misty. 'Wow, Misty looks so... so beautiful,' Ash thought.
Seeing the look on Ash's face Daisy smirked, "I knew we looked good, but damn I didn't think we looked that good!" Her smirk grew larger at the reaction she got from Ash.
Clearing his throat, Ash walked over to Misty and offered his arm. He was very relieved when she took it. "I guess we should go."
Ash turned around, ready to leave, when Mrs. Ketchum popped up saying, "Wait, I want to get some pictures of you handsome men and beautiful ladies."
The group of six smiled for what seemed a million photos. Finally it was over and with Mrs. Ketchum's final words ringing in their ears; they left for the country club.
*****
Lilly laughed as she pulled Tracey inside the club. "Come on! We're gonna be late!"
Rolling his eyes, Tracey followed his girlfriend inside the club, "No we won't. We left ten minutes early, remember?"
Pausing for a moment, Lilly smile and said, "Oh ya!" Turning towards her boyfriend, she giggled at the look of disbelief that marred his face. "Oh, come on! I wanna go see of the others are here yet!" Lilly grabbed on to Tracey's arm and dragged him into the club.
Tracey rolled his eyes as he allowed himself to be dragged into the club. Seeing that his friends weren't there yet, he suggested to Lilly that they go and find a table.
They looked across the room for a table that would be big enough for the eight of them. Seeing one, Lilly dragged Tracey over towards a circular near the dance floor.
They were about to sit down when they heard, "LILLY!!"
Lilly only had seconds to brace herself before she was surrounded by a flurry of movement.
"Ohmygod! Lilly, you look beautiful!" Cried Daisy.
"Wow, you guys look fantastic!" Lilly said as she held Misty at Arm's length and examined her dress.
While the girls were talking, Ash, Gary, Tracey, Brock were standing off to one side, "They really do look nice, don't they." Tracey said.
"Yeah," Brock was salivating, he was floating on air as he saw all the gorgeous girls around him.
The girls soon came over to the boys as the band began to play.
"Come on Tracey, we have to dance!" Lilly cried and she dragged her boyfriend.
Daisy nudged Ash in the gut and whispered, "Go ask Misty to dance."
Ash looked confused, "Why?" He asked.
"Just trust me."
"Ok." Ash walked up to Misty and shyly asked, "Uh? Misty?"
Misty turned around to face Ash, "Yes?"
"W-would you like to dance?"
Misty smiled and Ash thought she looked radiant like that. "I'd love to."
Taking her hand, Ash led her out to the dance floor to join Tracey and Lilly.
Back at the refreshment table, Chris watched as Daisy was led off by another handsome stranger to dance. Feeling a tap on her shoulder, she looked up into the eyes of Gary Oak.
"Hey, wanna dance?" He asked casually.
"Sure." Chris took his offered arm and allowed herself to be led out onto the dance floor.
Once on the dance floor, Lilly, Daisy and Chris caught each other's eyes and smile. Everything felt right and unbeknownst to them, they once again thought the same thoughts, 'Finally, I think I'm where I belong.'

Last Time:
Daisy jumped off the bed and squealed. "Okay, since you're going to the dance with Gary and Lilly's going with Tracey and I'm going, we'll have to go shopping. We need to get some dresses, shoes, oh and we need money. Oh we could also..."
Chris groaned as Daisy continued her list. 'What did I get myself into now?'

"Mmm *sigh* mmm, Dais, you a wake?" asked a groggy Chris.
"Yeah, *yawn* what do you want Chris?" Daisy said as she answered with a question.
"I was just thinking. Do you ever wonder why we're here? I mean one moment we were at Lilly's house and the next we're here. Were we sent here for a reason? And if we were, what are we supposed to do? And if we do it, will we be sent back home? I mean did this happen on purpose or did it happen by accident..." Chris asked as she trailed off.
"Who knows, but..." said Daisy.
"But what?"
"But did you ever wish to come here? And if you did, did you wish it just before we watch the show?"
"Well, kind of. I wanted to go somewhere where I was accepted. What are you getting at?" asked Chris curiously.

"Yes we did Mrs. Ketchum," said Daisy as she wolfed down her breakfast.
"G'morning, Mrs. Ketchum. Is Misty up, we need to talk to her." Chris asked through a mouthful of cereal.
"Yes she is, she's outside with her Togepi."

"Uh, sorry I asked?" Chris said as a sweatdrop appeared on her forehead. "Well I guess we should go. Right?"
"Yeah."
"Sure."

"Hi Prof. Oak!" said Misty as they entered the Professor's large ranch house.
"Oh, hello Misty," said Prof. Oak, looking up from his work. "Is there something I can do for you?"
"Yes, there is," Daisy started.
"We would like to know where Lilly is." finished Chris.
"Oh, she's out back in the stable collecting her Rapidash," said Prof. Oak.
"Thank you!" said all three girls at once.
Prof. Oak smiled. "You're welcome."
Chris looked at the professor. "Um, you two go on. I need to talk with Prof. Oak."

"Hey Chris!"
"Hey Lil, are you ready to go?" Chris shouted at her friend.
"Yeah," said Lilly as if it was the stupidest question she'd ever heard in her life.
"Do you know where Daisy and Misty are?" asked Chris, looking around.
Lilly looked at Chris and said, "Yes, they said they'd meet us at the parlour."
"So, lets go then." Chris said exasperatedly.
******
"Hey guys!" shouted Lilly to Misty and Daisy. Misty and Daisy waved to the two girls and motioned them to join them in the booth. The booth had a red table with blue cushioned benches. The benches were large enough to hold three people to a side and were large and made with foam.
About three minutes after the group sat down, a young waiter came and took their orders. "So ladies, what'll it be?" He asked them with a wink.
Lilly started first, "I'll have sundae with caramel sauce."
"I'll have a small banana split with strawberry sauce and nuts," said Misty before Daisy could order.

Misty chose that moment to leave the shop, "Hey guys, I found them! They're so nice and they feel like satin."
"Way to go Misty." Chris said.
"Yeah, you'll knock 'em dead!" Daisy said as she twirled around with Misty.
"Aww, you guys are just saying that."
"No we aren't. You'll have every guy in Pallet after you... except for Tracey," Lilly said.
"Yeah," Misty said, with a look of hope on her face.
"Come on girls!" Shouted Daisy, "Let's go. The dance is tomorrow and we need to figure out how we're gonna do our hair!"
Lilly and Chris just rolled their eyes and Daisy linked arms with Misty led her off. Jogging slightly, Lilly whispered to Chris, "And people think I'm insane."
Chris didn't say anything, but her eyes twinkled in amusement.

Lilly wore only a minimal amount of make-up, lip-gloss, concealer, and blush.
Tracey swallowed the lump in his throat and said, "Uh, you look lovely, Lilly."
"Thank you," Lilly looked at the clock on the wall, "I think we should go, or else we'll be late."
"Yeah," Tracey offered his arm to Lilly. She took it and together, they made their way to the country club.

Night of the dance
In Ash's spare bedroom:
"Are they out there?" asked a nervous Misty as she fidgeted with her white satin dress.
"Why are you nervous? You look great," and what Chris said was true. Mist looked very, very pretty in her dress. The dress was made from white satin and had matching elbow gloves. The dress clung to her newly matured body perfectly. The skirt reached her ankles and had two slits that reached her knees. The neckline was fairly high boat-neck with spaghetti straps. On her feet she wore white flats. The only piece of jewelry Misty wore was a silver necklace with a tear shaped blue crystal. Her hair was up in a French-twist and few curls framed her face. Her make-up was subtle, just a little eye shadow and lip-gloss. Over all the effect was quite stunning.
"Okay, enough about you! How do I look?" asked Daisy as she finished applying Chris' make-up. Daisy had on a powder blue tube dress that reached her mid-thigh. Her hair was curled softly and pulled up into a half ponytail with her curls spilling on to her shoulders. All her accessories were gold, earrings, shoes, a bracelet, a ring, and a chain that clung loosely to her waist. Her make-up consisted of powder blue eye shadow, frosted pink lipstick and gold shimmer dust on her face, chest and shoulders.
"For the millionth time! You look fine!" Said an unusually high-strung Chris.
"Hey Chris? Could you see if the guys are ready for the dance?"
"Sure Mist." Chris ran outside the room, down the white hall and peered around, down the stairs. Sure enough, Ash and Brock were there. They were over by the door, letting Gary inside. Flustered, Chris ran back to the room, "They're ready and Gary's here. How do I look?"
"Chris, you look beautiful! You have nothing to worry about!" And what Daisy had said was true. Chris did look beautiful in her Chinese, red and black dress. It had red as a base with black trimming and black dragons stitched into the fabric. The dress went to her ankles and it had a knee-high slit that allowed her to move her legs freely. Chris' make-up consisted of brown toned eye shadow. Daisy decided not to use any lipstick, lip-gloss, or blush, because Chris looked fine with out it. She did use mascara and eye liner to enhance Chris' eyes. The only accessory Chris wore were black hair sticks that held her hair in a bun.
"I guess we should go and make our grand debut," suggested a hyper Daisy. Even though she didn't have a date like Lilly and Chris, she was going with Ash, Brock and Misty. "Any objections?" She waited a moment then said, "No? Good! Let's go!"

Ash was getting antsy. He was tired of waiting. He looked over at Brock, who was off in La-la land, thinking of Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny. His face was beat read and it clashed with his navy blue shirt and black. While Gary looked, well for once he looked nervous. He looked cool in his white dress shirt and pressed khakis.
Ash looked down at his own ensemble of a cream sweater and black pants. Adorning his head, as usual, was his 'Official Pokemon League Hat'. Ash was suddenly very glad that he had on his black T-shirt; he was already getting a little warm. 'It should be cooler outside,' he thought hopefully. Ash's gaze wandered over to the staircase. One by one he watched the girls come down, Daisy, Chris and finally Misty. 'Wow, Misty looks so... so beautiful,' Ash thought.
Seeing the look on Ash's face Daisy smirked, "I knew we looked good, but damn I didn't think we looked that good!" Her smirk grew larger at the reaction she got from Ash.
Clearing his throat, Ash walked over to Misty and offered his arm. He was very relieved when she took it. "I guess we should go."
Ash turned around, ready to leave, when Mrs. Ketchum popped up saying, "Wait, I want to get some pictures of you handsome men and beautiful ladies."
The group of six smiled for what seemed a million photos. Finally it was over and with Mrs. Ketchum's final words ringing in their ears; they left for the country club.

Lilly laughed as she pulled Tracey inside the club. "Come on! We're gonna be late!"
Rolling his eyes, Tracey followed his girlfriend inside the club, "No we won't. We left ten minutes early, remember?"
Pausing for a moment, Lilly smile and said, "Oh ya!" Turning towards her boyfriend, she giggled at the look of disbelief that marred his face. "Oh, come on! I wanna go see of the others are here yet!" Lilly grabbed on to Tracey's arm and dragged him into the club.
Tracey rolled his eyes as he allowed himself to be dragged into the club. Seeing that his friends weren't there yet, he suggested to Lilly that they go and find a table.
They looked across the room for a table that would be big enough for the eight of them. Seeing one, Lilly dragged Tracey over towards a circular near the dance floor.
They were about to sit down when they heard, "LILLY!!"
Lilly only had seconds to brace herself before she was surrounded by a flurry of movement.
"Ohmygod! Lilly, you look beautiful!" Cried Daisy.
"Wow, you guys look fantastic!" Lilly said as she held Misty at Arm's length and examined her dress.
While the girls were talking, Ash, Gary, Tracey, Brock were standing off to one side, "They really do look nice, don't they." Tracey said.
"Yeah," Brock was salivating, he was floating on air as he saw all the gorgeous girls around him.
The girls soon came over to the boys as the band began to play.
"Come on Tracey, we have to dance!" Lilly cried and she dragged her boyfriend.
Daisy nudged Ash in the gut and whispered, "Go ask Misty to dance."
Ash looked confused, "Why?" He asked.
"Just trust me."
"Ok." Ash walked up to Misty and shyly asked, "Uh? Misty?"
Misty turned around to face Ash, "Yes?"
"W-would you like to dance?"
Misty smiled and Ash thought she looked radiant like that. "I'd love to."
Taking her hand, Ash led her out to the dance floor to join Tracey and Lilly.
Back at the refreshment table, Chris watched as Daisy was led off by another handsome stranger to dance. Feeling a tap on her shoulder, she looked up into the eyes of Gary Oak.
"Hey, wanna dance?" He asked casually.
"Sure." Chris took his offered arm and allowed herself to be led out onto the dance floor.
Once on the dance floor, Lilly, Daisy and Chris caught each other's eyes and smile. Everything felt right and unbeknownst to them, they once again thought the same thoughts, 'Finally, I think I'm where I belong.'

A/N: I know, sappy ending. Who knows maybe one day I'll revisit this fic and fix it up a bit. Who knows?
