Chapter 6: The First Rose
Kimberly paced around her luxurious bedroom biting her nails agitatedly. A very un princess like manner. She just had to somehow get out of the ceremony she had to attend. In the end, Kimberly gave up and flopped down on her bed. She screamed into her pillow in frustration, taking out all her anger on it. "Why is the world against me?" murmured Kimberly as she stared at the ceiling. Another day delayed for her plans. Kimberly knew that as everyday passed their relationship would grow stronger.
And without her there, the barrier she held up in between them would disappear. Who knows what might happen. Kimberly grumbled as she phoned Brendan and Drew.
On the other side of the phone….
"Hello" answered Drew. "Hiya Drewy Bear!" said Kimberly cheerily. Drew groaned. Kimberly hardly ever called for just no reason. She'd rather see him face to face. This could only lead to one conclusion for Drew. It was something that would probably mean the end of the world for Drew. Drew winced as the bizarre ideas came rushing into his mind. "Anything but that!" murmured Drew wincing at that thought coming to reality.
But Drew's thoughts completely vanished from his mind when Kimberly said her next words. "Anyways, I'll have to cancel my visit to your place because I have to go to this important ceremony! Therefore, we'll have to reschedule to tomorrow, same time! I know you'll miss me! Tootles!" said Kimberly as she hung up the phone.
Drew leapt in the air in happiness and punched his fist into the air. For once, a Kimberly free day, a day for Drew not to worry she might pop up randomly somewhere. "Hmmmmmm… I wonder where May went, considering that I always see her first thing… it's getting boring around here… so I guess I'll go see my teasing victim" said Drew deviously as he went in search of her.
Meanwhile….
May was out in the garden figuring out how to work a poke ball. She'd decided that she was definitely going to catch a Beautifly today, and wasn't going to leave without catching one. This was because the Beautifly was flocking more vividly more than ever, and May presumed this would be the best time and the catch rate was higher. Although May had never had any experience in with pokemon as she couldn't afford going to trainer school.
In the early morning, May had snuck into Drew's bedroom and swiped an empty poke ball. He wouldn't have noticed as he had uncountable poke balls in all shapes and sizes. He wouldn't have realized she'd taken one, unless he counted all of them accurately. She knew that it was empty as it was lighter than five other poke balls she'd seen in a polished and luxurious case. May decided she'd have to at least know how to open the poke ball, before she caught it as then she wouldn't have the trouble of calling out the pokemon.
May finally figured how to open the poke ball. "I see.. all you have to do is tap the red half of the poke ball" muttered May, proud of herself. So do I have to stuff the Beautifly in here? May thought. She then began chasing the Beautifly around opening and closing the poke ball like a snapping turtle. They just simply flew higher. May pouted. "I guess plan A failed" said May to herself. Unbeknownst to May, Drew was hiding behind a tree near by and had been watching the whole entire time.
Drew's sides ached so much from all the laughing. It was just too hilarious for him seeing dense old May working out how to use a poke ball. May tried plenty more times before she gave up. She then decided to use the old fashion way. She quickly sprinted towards the tool shed and came back with an old net. May then began swinging wildly around, hoping for a Beautifly to have been caught in it. No such luck.
One of the Beautiflys' became annoyed and used gust on May. It sent May hurtling backwards into a rose bush (A/N: Ouch…..) May then hauled herself up as the thorns cuts stung painfully. But May wouldn't give up. She had vowed that she was going to have a Beautifly. May then threw the poke ball hard in frustration at the Beautifly that used gust on her. To May's surprise and delight it disappeared in a flash of red light. The poke ball landed on the floor, shaking back and forth. Once…. Twice and POP! In a flash of white light it appeared again.
May was disappointed. She was so sure that it was a sure capture. But she now finally learned how to catch a pokemon. May then threw the poke ball once again at the same Beautifly and in the same fashion. But this time the Beautifly was ready for it, and use string shot to rebound it. It went straight for May's head. BULLS EYE! It hit a direct hit. May grabbed her throbbing head and felt a lump grow. "Oh great" muttered May. Just to make matters worse, Drew appeared. I can't let me see like this thought May, flushing in embarrassment.
"I thought that you was stupid. But that was just pathetic! I mean, your vain attempts won't do you any good," said Drew smirking as he flicked his hair. Those words hurt May in ways unimaginable. What is wrong with me? They never hurt me before… unless thought May as the horrible solution came. I vowed that that would never happen.. i guess my heart and fate has other plans... thought May. She could feel her eyes filling with tears. "Well.. fine then you try catching one!" shouted May, running away before the first tear dropped, wanting to stop embarrassing herself in his presence.
Drew felt extremely guilty. He never meant to hurt her in this way not to mention be the one to make her cry. He then decided he knew what to do to cheer May up. "This will be a piece of cake" said Drew smirking as he pulled out two gleaming poke balls. "Go Flygon, go Roselia!" called Drew as he threw the two poke balls in the air.
May was now sitting on a bench crying her heart out. "Stupid Drew… why is the world against me today" said May in between tears. She then wiped her dripping nose. "Snap out of it May! It's a stupid reason to cry over a boy! What is wrong with me?" said May slapping herself. She then clutched the large ever growing lump on her head. Suddenly, a beautiful rose like no other was shoved at May's face. May's eyes grew wide when she saw who was the giver. None other than Drew.
"Stop crying…. You sound like a wounded animal" said Drew unable to make eye contact with her. May grabbed the rose and inhaled it's sweet air. May felt all fluttery inside but more happier than anything. "By the way, I only gave you that you shut you up… you're giving me a migraine" Drew then continued "By the way, you're nose is dripping". May quickly looked away and wiped it, feeling extremely embarrassed with herself. She mentally scolded herself for looking like an idiot.
May then felt something on her lap. It was that same poke ball she used to capture the Beautifly. But just slightly heavier than before. May's eyes widened and glistened like the eyes of a child who was given a present he wanted in a toy shop. Could it be? Thought May. May then decided to tease Drew for revenge. "So.. you caught me the Beautifly.. because you couldn't bear to see me hurt and decided to cheer your "one true love" up" said May as she waggled her eyebrows.
Unknown to May, she had stated the exact reason. Drew turned bright red. Don't tell me she knows… thought Drew. Drew for once was not calm but highly nervous. "N-n-o, t-t-h-hat's n-not even close!" said Drew trying with no avail to regain his calm. May noticed that this was awfully odd. Don't tell me he actually… no way! Thought May. Drew then got the perfect idea. "I got you the Beautifly because…. Think of it as your weekly salary! And the rose was for your Beautifly… who in their right mind would give you a rose?" said Drew in his usual cool manner.
"Just as I thought" muttered May disappointed. Drew then picked up the poke ball and took out his own poke ball and threw them in the air. Out came a Beautifly and a Masquerain. They seem to like each other… does this mean that theory about the pokemon liking another trainer's pokemon symbolies the trainer's love for each other? No way! Thought Drew who had already admitted his feelings but still felt the urge to deny it.
May noticed their liking to each other as well and smiled. Drew really can be a nice person sometimes… but why do I feel so differently about him all of sudden? Thought May as she pondered on the thought still thinking of an answer.
