Author's Note: Hello everybody! Wow, I believe that it's been a really, really long time since I updated! I don't know about y'all, but I know that it seriously aggravates me when people don't update soon. My bad, my bad! Heh, sorry! Well, have you guys noticed my tendency to repeat stuff? Though it adds to the suspense when reading, when you think about it, it seems slightly stupid… Oh, I also noticed that there aren't many contestshipping fanfics out there. Or is that just me? I don't know. Ok, then, enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own pokemon, the characters, or a dating show.

"Haruka, I can't."

Michael Finn was mad. He was beyond mad; he was thoroughly pissed. Every inch of his body coursed with hatred, so much that if you stood close enough to him, you could feel an unusual amount of heat. Yet, there was one person who was not able to feel it.

Haruka was being led by Michael Finn with him having his arm around her waist. She didn't notice. She didn't notice him pushing her slightly. She didn't notice the new boys met. She didn't notice his rage. Most of all, she didn't notice him.

Not since that one guy. Drew, was it? He couldn't believe the foolishness of that buy. It seemed to him that in their past, something had occurred between them. Something had clicked. He hated that something. Drew was close to May. At least from a certain perspective. Michael Finn was not slow. He knew they were close to one another than he and May at the current time. He was jealous.

He couldn't help but feel envy as he peeked over at her. She was beautiful. It was true that he himself had had many relationships with all the bachelorettes. But not this one. She had outshined all the girls. He wanted her. The problem was that she didn't want Michael Finn/

She wanted him.

She knew she felt quite content. She was above content. She had seen him. She had heard his voice. She was unimaginably happy. The fact that she believed that he should not stay near her did not get in her way.

Shuu was a different matter. He had seen her finally after so many years. It hurt to see her in such a position. It hurt him when she told him to leave. He did realize, of course, she had meant to protect him from something. Was she that something? He needed to know/

For six years, he had put all of his memories in a box in his mind. He had made sure to never forget them, but remembrance was tough, knowing they would never meet again.

But that wasn't the point. The point was that, in fact, they did meet each other once more.

She felt ice melting within her. A small smile graced her lips. It wasn't in her control to rid of it. She twirled her hair carelessly. She giggled.

She giggled. Now Michael Finn was completely tense. He heard it. He saw her twirl her hair.

He was that smile.

It was the prettiest thing there was. Her giggle tinkled like a beautiful set of chimes. Her childish trait was cute beyond belief. She stood as a symbol of innocence, yet she had a small sense of mischievousness in her aura. Completely, she glowed.

He gritted his teeth. That stupid boy! He had made her like this. He should've been the one to make her giggle. He should've been the one to make her twirl her hair. He should've been the one to make her smile. Such an idiotic boy as that Drew should not take his place.

"Here you go." Michael Finn said bearing a rather forced smile. They had met the remaining three people. They were back at her room. She looked up at him with the pleasant smile. "Thank you for bringing me around." she bowed. She unlocked the door and then paused in opening the door. "Hee hee, nice smile." she said sarcastically, patting his cheek lightly.

She walked inside. Just meeting a certain person could change everything.

Shuu sighted. Just meeting a certain person could change everything.

Michael Finn growled. Just meeting a certain person could change everything.

Author's Second Note: Alright, one little thing. Could everyone who reads this post a comment? Cause when there aren't many—thank you obancrecsent13—I tend to get rather nervous whether people are reading it or not. Much thanks!
