Well like I said, I was able to add another chapter. Sadly I still have some work to do with this story, so it's going to be a bit before chapter six can go up. But hopefully this chapter would be enough to tide you over until then!

Enjoy!

Chapter 5: The Best of the Best

"Hmm…" Misty tapped her pencil on a piece of paper. She had come into her office to get away from Lily and her ideas on creating an underwater show for the wedding, and to do some paperwork she needed to catch up on, but there was one question that plagued her mind and prevented her from getting any work done.

"Hey Misty!" Ash came bursting in the room, with a very happy look on his face.

"Ack, Ash! Don't scare me like that!" Misty yelled.

"Oh, I'm sorry, were you doing something sexy?"

"W-what?!"

"Well Brock says that when women need to be alone they always go in their room, close the door, take off some clothes and—"

"Ash Ketchum!" Misty yelled, her face never looked so red, "Remind me to punch Brock in the face next time I see him! And for your information I wasn't doing anything except working!"

Ash kept his innocent face but was a little scared to speak. "S-so…y-you weren't—"

"No! Don't listen to everything that pervert says! He's just trying to get you in trouble."

"Oh…" Ash didn't know whether to be relieved or a bit disappointed. "So what were you doing in here?"

"I told you, working, but I can't seem to get started sadly…" Misty actually managed to calm down quickly, and was a bit surprised, but she guessed she was too occupied with her situation to think about Ash and his ignorance.

"Is there something wrong?" he asked.

"Well…I was just thinking who I should choose as my maid of honor."

"Oh…" He cast his eyes down in thought. "That is a bit of a problem for you huh?"

"You had it easy. You chose Brock as your best man, although now I'm starting to regret that decision, but as for me I have to choose either Dawn or May and they are both good friends to me…"

"I think you should choose one of your sisters instead Mist," Ash suggested.

"What?"

"Well think about it you always wanted to be close to them and what better way to do that than to ask one of them to be your maid of honor! I think it's perfect if you want to bond."

"Oh yeah sure so the one I don't pick will hate me forever, yeah that's a good plan," Misty murmured sarcastically.

"Well I thought it would be better than having your two best friends fighting over it, don't you think so?" Ash asked.

"Well I suppose…so who do you think then, Lily or Daisy?"

"Well I would choose Lily."

"Lily?" Misty repeated.

"Well yeah, since you're already close with Daisy, why not choose Lily and get closer with her."

"Hmmm…so that's four people I have to choose from now…" Misty sighed.

"I'm sure you will come to the right decision eventually," Ash encouraged. "Oh yeah! I completely forgot to tell you the reason I came in here!"

"Which was?"

"You have a challenger waiting for you!"

"Ash! We've been talking for like ten minutes and now you decide to tell me!" Misty yelled again.

"Well you looked sad and I wanted to make my little Corsola happy!" Ash laughed.

"Oh shut up…" Misty said, quickly walking out of the room and taking her pokeballs with her.

"Hey wait! I wanted to watch!" Ash yelled as he ran after her.

"Hmm…a maid of honor huh?" Brock said.

After asking Ash for advice on her current situation she wanted to get one last opinion.

"Ash says that I should pick Lily in order to get closer to her, but for some reason I'm actually leaning towards May or Dawn. I never really felt as close to my sisters as I should be, I mean I love them but I don't know if I should actually ask one of them."

"Well I think what Ash says is actually a good idea. I mean I know you should obviously ask someone you're close to, but this would be a good opportunity for you and your sisters to really bond, you know? Besides," Brock replied with a goofy look, "I think you should ask the most beautiful and that would definitely be Daisy."

"Oh please! You want me to pick Daisy so you can get close to her!"

"Well, why not? That is the day of romance you know and I need a date for the wedding! I could give her the old Brock charm…" he wiggled his eyebrows and began to dance a little with maracas in his hands. "Come on, Misty, wouldn't you want this?" He put a rose in his mouth and started to pretend he was grinding on a woman. "Admit it!"

Misty's eyes narrowed, "I should really keep Ash away from you," she sighed. "Stop dancing Brock! You're not sexy!"

Brock's dreams shattered in an instant and he sat back down in his seat depressed. "Fine, fine, listen Misty just follow your heart and do what you think is right ok?" Then his face shot back up like a rocket and he sported a huge smile, "Hey, do you think Daisy would like it, if I danced the tango with her at the wedding?"

"She would I guess, as long as her date doesn't kill you first," she giggled. "See you around Brock."

After she ended the call she smiled to herself. "Hated to lie to him like that, but I bet even Daisy would thank me for that one."

"Hmmm…" Lily thought out loud, "Me as the maid of honor huh?"

"Yes," Misty smiled as a small blush came upon her cheeks. "I would like it if you would be my maid of honor. So what do say?"

Lily thought for a moment, and then said, "No thanks."

Misty was in shock. "What do you mean no thanks?!"

"Misty, hello, I'm the wedding planner! I can't be your maid of honor! Besides, if I do, I would probably be more beautiful than you on your wedding day, and then Ash would want to marry me instead of you!" Then she thought a bit more, "Actually that's not a bad idea, ok I'll do it!"

"Never mind," Misty sighed. "What about you Daisy?"

Daisy didn't expect to get pulled into the conversation and it threw her off. "Me? Heh heh, well actually," she started to blush and fidgeted with her fingers, "I actually wanted to be the one to give you away…if you wanted me to."

"You wanted…to give me away?"

"Oh see now isn't that sweet?" Lily smiled. "Daisy wants to be your papa!"

Everyone laughed. "Daisy, I would really like it if you did give me away, in fact I would be honored," Misty said.

"Alright! Now that that's straightened out, let's talk more about the wedding! Since Daisy is going to give you away I just thought of a great idea! Well we could use a Milotic and a Lapras and have them carry you and Daisy to the altar, and then—"

"Uhm, Lily," Misty interrupted, "You know we're not having the wedding at Cerulean Cape, right? So that would be kind of hard to do…"

"Not if we create a water slide to go with it! Oh it would be awesome!" Lily exclaimed. "Hey, Ashy has a Lapras, right? We could get it to use ice beam!"

"Ash had a Lapras…Lily do you pay attention to anything I say?" Misty put her hands on her hips in annoyance.

"Well we could use Dewgong's ice beam to create the entire inside into an ice crystal palace! We would have to tell everyone to bring coats though because it would be super cold, but it would all be worth it! And then we could use the melted ice to create ice cream cones! Then we wouldn't have to worry about desserts after dinner!" She threw her arms up in the air and spun around. "This is so exciting! I'm such a genius! Don't you think so Misty? Uhm, Misty?"

She turned back around to find her little sister gone once again.

"Why does she always do that?"

Once she was sure she was out of earshot of Lily, Misty murmured, "What an idiot. I'm starting to wonder if we're even related…"

After hours of thinking during training, the young bride-to-be finally got fed up with thinking and decided call up both of her two best friends at the same time.

"Hi Misty," May and Drew waved to her.

"Hello Misty!" Dawn waved, a bit too enthusiastically.

"Well, she's hyper," Drew said with a yawn.

"Of course I am," Dawn answered, "Kenny just asked me out on a date!"

"You mean he never did before?" Misty asked.

"Well, he's tried so many times, but he's always been really shy about his feelings for me. Now he's finally asked me and now we finally get to go on a real date! I'm so excited!"

"That's really great Dawn!" Misty said excitedly.

"Well obviously Kenny needs a few practice lessons from me because I always know how to show my real feelings," Drew remarked as he kissed May on the cheek.

"Oh please, this comes from the guy who took six weeks to tell me he loved me," May teased.

"Well at least I said it, unlike some people…" Drew said.

"Hey wait a second, Misty didn't even tell us why she called us," Dawn remembered.

"Thank you Dawn," Misty smiled.

"Hey hold on," May interrupted, "Drew I only didn't say it at first because I thought you wouldn't believe me!"

"Why on earth would I not believe you?! I take everything you say to heart, May, especially your love for me, so of course I would believe it." Drew looked a bit hurt here but didn't show it much in front of Dawn and Misty.

May sighed. "You're right, it was stupid of me, but that was ages ago. Now I'm not afraid to say I love you."

"So you were afraid? I thought you said that I wouldn't believe you," he raised an eyebrow at her.

May flinched. "Uhm, well…hey enough of this, Misty what did you have to tell us?" she asked, eager to change the subject.

Misty laughed and rolled her eyes, but was overall relieved to finally say what she had wanted to say.

"Well, I have been thinking, and I was wondering if both you and Dawn would become my maids of honor for the wedding."

May was shocked. "Really? The both of us?"

"Can you do that?" Drew asked.

"It's my wedding I can do what I want! Besides I'm tired of thinking which one to choose so I want to choose both of you. You all are my friends and I want you all to participate if you want, but if you want to fight over which one to be my maid of honor that would have to be between you two…" Misty trailed off.

"No way we would love to do it!" May and Dawn both said together and ended up laughing.

"Great! That makes me so happy!" Misty said.

"Hey, you said we can all participate right? So what is Drew going to do?" Dawn asked.

"Drew…" Misty thought aloud, "Hmm…"

"I know he can be a flower boy!" May suggested.

"A-a flower boy?!" Drew stuttered.

Dawn laughed. "That's true; May tells us you gave her flowers all the time when you guys were friends. He'd be perfect!"

"Hey! Those were for her Beautifly!" Drew tried to explain, but he couldn't say that without blushing a little.

"Oh, yeah like we are going to fall for that one like May did," Misty giggled.

May began to laugh, much to Drew's dismay. "May, you're not suppose to laugh!"

"I'm sorry Drew, but I just can't help picturing you coming down the aisle tossing roses around!" May laughed again, and soon everyone else joined her, except for Drew of course.

"We can give him a pink dress and call him Drewcilla!" Dawn joked.

Drew sighed in frustration, "Forget this, I'm going to bed."

"Aw come on Drew," May grabbed his arm, "We're only joking."

Drew rolled his eyes and flicked his hair. "Well anyway there is something I can do for you, Misty."

"Really?" she asked.

"I have the name of a florist I met. He lives somewhere in Kanto, and I guess he would be willing to help you if you ask."

"Wow, that really is great, thanks Drew!" Misty smiled.

"See he's already fitting the part of the flower girl!" Dawn laughed.

Drew rolled his eyes again, "Remember Dawn, every rose has its thorns."

"Huh, what does that mean?"

Drew flashed a malicious evil smile. "I don't think you want to know."

I love innocent and dense Ash, he's so fun to create. There's more of Ash and his denseness, but since he's older less of it should be expected...I hope. Anyway let me know what you all think so far! Suggestions are welcome!
