Hey everyone! Thanks, Michelicious for all of the advice and reviews! I REALLY appreciated all of them! Speaking of which, I was asked to make my characters more realistic, so PLEASE RR me after you read this chapter and tell me if I did better on my characters, okay? Also, one more thing before I go, this chap. Might not be the best, but bear with me, alright? Cause if this one's not up to standards then the next one will be! But, in order for me to KNOW if this one was alright I'll need reviews on this chap. So PLEEEAAAASE REVIEW so that I can make the rest of this story rock your sox off! Oh, also, sorry for the last chap. It was kind of a cliff hanger, I guess. But this one isn't anything special. Probably what you are expecting this chapter to be about, isn't all until the next one. (SOOO SORRY!)—Unless you were expecting something to happen with Misty and May, then this is the right chapter………

'I can't believe I am seriously going to go out with Gary. Since when did he start liking me anyways? Oh well, that doesn't matter, what matters is that there is NO WAY to get out of this date. Ash is going to be even more pissed off at me now. He may never even speak to me again! Oh, Misty you're over reacting, as usual. This whole thing isn't YOUR fault; Gary beat you fair and square. Why should Ash be mad, YOU did NOTHING……..Did you?'

I slipped into a light blue dress that came up to my knees. Every time I moved and the light hit it at a certain angle, little sparkles all over the dress would appear and shine brighter than the stars. I wore silver hoop earrings, and these dark blue high-heels. My hair was put up in a messy bun, and I was wearing light reddish lipstick, mascara, and cover-up.

'It's nothing fancy, but more "Formal" than what I would normally wear. Hopefully, if he thinks I put a lot of effort into getting ready for this little charade, then he'll leave me alone and NEVER speak of this date (Or, well, make jokes about it.) Of course, that is asking a lot since its Gary. Why can't I be like one of those lucky girls that don't HAVE this problem. That's one thing I never had--LUCK. Luck was never on my side, unless it was BAD LUCK. I have that ALOT. You know, surprisingly, Ash was right aboutGary all along, though. He said: "Gary is a greedy, good for nothing, low-life jerk, that only cares about Money, Cheerleaders, him self (OBVIOUSLY), annoying me, and getting what he wants." I guess that what Gary said about Ash lying about him, is all a lie instead. That's a little ironic, though.'

"Hey, Misty, look, I think we got off to a bad start the first time we met a year-or so- ago. So, do you think we could at least TRY to get along for awhile?" I turned away from my mirror to look at the figure in the doorway. It was May,

'That's weird, I thought she hated me. Last time we met for the first time, she acted like a stuck up bitch, and now she wants to start over?'

I wasn't one to hold a grudge so I shrugged my shoulders and smiled. "Okay, friends?" She smiled back at me and stated happily, "Friends! So, that's an awfully nice dress for going out with some one you don't like, isn't it? Are we not telling something we should be?" May said sarcastically as she plopped down on my bed.

I rolled my eyes and smiled once more. "No, I don't like Gary. I was TRYING to look like this, hopefully, when he looks at me tonight he'll see, "A trying too hard, to impress a boy, wannabe Madonna that has a little-boy crush and needs to grow up." Heh, What do you think?" I asked as I spun around slowly to model the dress.

"Hmmm, well I can see the trying too hard, that dress is GORGEOUS!" May replied as she stood up and came closer to observe the dress.

"Thanks, but I just hope Gary doesn't show up, maybe, if I'm lucky, he'll wimp out and decide not to come at the last minute!" I whined as I threw my head back and tossed my hands into the air in rage.

"I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS!" I screamed as I threw myself onto the hard mattress, and hide my face beneath a pillow. May gently lifted the pillow off from my face and sighed,

"Look, Mist, if you don't want to do something like this, then don't. It's YOUR choice, not some stupid, meaning less battle. If you feel so strongly about this, then just tell him that you don't want to go. He won't care, or even if he does, what can he do? Use force?" May had a point up until the last part. He COULD find a way, or at least, he would TRY to.

'Wait a second; I think I know what May's doing. Reverse psychology! She is trying to get me hooked up with Gary, because then there is NO competition what's-so-ever with Ash! Of course! See I ALWAYS have bad luck. This is NO different... Now it's obvious: The sudden niceness, trying to get me to tell her that I like Gary (AND I DON'T!), practically forcing me to go out with Gary. The evidence is right in front of my face!--Oh, Misty. STOP IT! The girl is trying to make peace and you accuse her of something stupid like that? Stop being so negative! If you told her your accusations, then she would agree that you are being completely STUPID! You just became friends, don't wreck that. She's practically your ONLY friend right now……'

"So May, what do YOU think of Gary?" I asked slyly. "Me? Oh, well personally I think that he's a HUGE jerk to youANDAsh. I mean, ALWAYS cracking jokes about you liking him-which I now know is not true-and always trying to annoy Ash into a battle. I don't think he's as bad as Ash makes him out to be, though." May said as a wide grin spread across her face.

"Besides, if you two WERE going out with each other, at least he wouldn't make jokes about you all of the time!" May giggled. "Yeah, actually May, he probably WOULD still make jokes about me!" We laughed for a moment before her face went serious, "So, are you gonna do it?" I looked down at my hands for second before replying.

"Maybe, I mean, Ash is ALREADY mad at me, so why make Gary mad too? I mean, one person is better than two, even if it is Ash. Do you agree? Or am I looking at this situation differently. May, is it REALLY my fault, I mean about this WHOLE mess?" I sighed before flopping back onto the pillows piled on my bed.

"Oh, Misty, you are WAY too hard on yourself." May replied gingerly. 'I knew it, told ya, Mist.' I thought to myself as May continued to comfort me,

"Look, if you want MY opinion, I say go for it. What more harm can it do? Also, try and have some fun, cause if you are just going to be miserable all night, then DON'T even go, because THEN it would be a complete waste of time. Okay, Mist?" May asked as she looked into my eyes thoughtfully.

I smiled then said, "Your right, May. I'm glad we aren't fighting anymore, cause you're a really good friend. I think I AM going to go. And I will TRY to enjoy myself, that's the best I can do. Alright?" I asked as I hit May in the face with a pillow.

She laughed before picking up a pillow off from the floor and hitting me over the head with it playfully. "Right, but before you go—PILLOW FIGHT!" May shouted as we both joined in. I quietly thought to myself as I laughed along with May...

'See Mist. You've been looking at all of this the wrong way. YouARE having a good day, you made a really good new friend, you have a date, you're wearing an AWSOME dress, AND you get to have fun before you go. Then you get to come home and BRAG about it to your awsome new friend. Heh, I guess things DO change, cause you are SO Lucky…..'

Hey, that's it for this chap… in fact, I think this is the stupidest and most BORING chapters ever—But PLEASE keep reading this story, cause I HAD to have this chapter so that I could make Misty and May FINALLY become friends again. So continue reading to find out what happens next, Alright? I ABSOLUTELY PROMISE the next one will literally ROCK YOUR SOX OFF! ………and if it doesn't, then RR me, So that I will know that you are gonna sue me. LOL

Well bye for now!

Love always,
