Preperations Part two
"So Misty do you wanna go to the prom with me?" Ash asked.
Misty stood in shock, she didn't know what to say, 'This is not happening, did he just ask me what I thought he did!'
Ash waited patiently waiting for an answer, Misty was now leaning back on the balcony rails in deep thought, but she didn't notice the look of worry on Ash's face as he started to slowly walk away.
"It's OK I understand if-"
Misty looked up and stood up straight.
"No wait!" She yelled but then covered her mouth and forgot that May and Brock were still sleeping, but Ash stopped before he can get inside.
Misty smiled. "What I mean is, I'd love to go with you."
Ash smiled nervously and Misty giggled again a bit. Then brown meet aqua blue for it was the first time in years, not knowing what to do next Ash broke the silence.
"I think we should get some sleep we-" He stopped noticing two shadows behind the shades of the window quickly disappear when Ash looked in that direction.
"Is someone there?" He called out.
"You see something Ash?" Misty asked.
But there was no response, when he peeked back into the room May and Brock were sound asleep.
"It's nothing I just thought I saw someone there." Ash said turning around to Misty.
"Oh OK, let's go to bed then." Misty said and walked back into the room, Ash nodded and waited till Misty got in and then closed the sliding door behind them.
Ash and Misty got into bed again but Misty didn't go to sleep very quickly, she stood up looking towards the ceiling as many thoughts were running through her mind, the main one of if Ash is developing feelings for her like she did many years ago, Misty turned to her side and smiled slightly 'I hope my wish comes true.'
----
The sun came rising up again for a bright morning, the gang was ready and was heading towards the gym to get Stephanie.
Misty and May were walking a little bit behind Ash and Brock, and May whispered something to Misty.
"So he finally asked you?" May said.
"W-What?"
"Oh c'mon Misty, it was about time and you know it." May smiled.
Misty blushed a bit. "I guess so," but then Misty got suspicious, "hey how do you know about that anyway I thought you were asleep!"
May laughed nervously. "Well, I..you see."
"So it was you that was spying on us!"
"It wasn't just me, Brock was awake too you know!"
"Brock heard it too!"
May covered her mouth and mumbled. "Oops."
"Oh this is just great!"
"Don't worry I'm sure he wont say anything, I'm certain."
Misty hung her head. "You better be right."
When they got to the gym they saw a trainer come running out holding a pokemon, and Stephanie was right behind wearing her leader clothes which was a short blue tank top and blue shorts with her pokeball belt hanging on her waist, she ran till she got the entrance and then stopped.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know that Gyarados attack was gonna be so affective!" Stephanie yelled. "Sometimes I wonder if my pokemon are too strong for challengers." She sighed.
"Stephanie!" Ash yelled.
Stephanie looked up to Ash, Brock, Misty and May walking towers her.
"Hey you guys, I see your up early and ready to go." Stephanie smiled.
"Yeah, looks like you had a challenger?" Brock said.
Stephanie nodded. "Yeah, but in the start of the first round I made my Gyarados use a hyperbeam attack and it k.o the other pokemon in one shot."
"Your Gyarados is that strong?" Ash asked.
"Yeah, but it's no biggy, I guess that's what you get when your a strong water trainer, right Misty?" Stephanie winked.
"Yeah." Misty smiled back.
"So Stephanie where are we gonna start shopping?" May asked.
"Oh that's right, let me just change back into my regular clothes and then we can get going, Kay." Stephanie said running back inside.
In about ten minutes Stephanie came back out and they were on there way towards some stores on the same avenue that they were looking the last time they were 'Shopping.'
They came across a store which looked familiar to Ash and Brock.
"Hey doesn't this place look familiar Brock?" Ash asked him.
"Yeah I think we came here before." Brock said.
"Oh really? well this is one of the best places for suits come on let's go inside for a bit." Stephanie said waving them in.
They got inside and looked around till someone from behind a rack on suits gasped loudly.
"Stephanie is that you?" The man said.
"Wally?" Stephanie said.
It was the same guy that helped Ash and Brock with there nightmare suits!
"OH NO IT'S HIM!" Ash and Brock yelled and ran out the store.
"Hey, I know those two." The man started.
"Really, how do you know Ash and Brock?" Stephanie asked.
"I helped them out the other day to buy suits for the league prom, but I wonder why they lefted in such a hurry?" Wally wondered.
Stephanie, Misty and May were on the verge of laughing but held it in, as Stephanie was trying to talk.
"Well, I think there was...no reason." She said giggling a bit.
"Oh well, what can I do for you girls?" He asked.
"Well, we 'were' gonna shop for some suits, but since the boys just cut out I guess were gonna look for dresses." Stephanie smiled slightly.
"Okey Dokey don't be shy to come back." He said.
"OK" Stephanie smiled as Misty and May waved bye and lefted the store.
"Hey I wonder where Ash and Brock went." Misty wondered.
When they were walking passed an ally way Ash and Brock's head popped out.
"Is he gone?" Ash asked.
"What the heck are you two doing there?" Stephanie asked with a questioned look.
"Is it clear?" Brock asked.
"What are scared or Wally?" May asked.
Ash and Brock glared her way.
"O-o-ok..I didn't mean to get you mad." May stuttered.
"Wally scared you? What did he do to you ask you out to the prom?" Stephanie laughed.
Ash and Brock looked at each other and then back at Stephanie.
"Let's pretend that none of this happened." Ash and Brock said and walked away.
----
They all walked together passing a lot of different stores, they went down a city block that was nothing but department stores big and small. Some had showed expensive jewelry, others had fur coats, and in another was named brand suits.
"Wow look that that!" May said in awe as she saw the diamonds and other beautiful stones in the display
window.
"That is beautiful." Misty agreed.
May sighed. "But were never gonna be able to get things like that to wear to the prom."
Misty had the same disappointed look. "Yeah, guess your right about that."
Stephanie had notice them looking at something and stopped looking back at them.
"Hey don't worry about it, I'll help bling all of ya up for the prom." Stephanie said with a small laugh.
"You will?" Ash said.
"Yup, just follow me." Stephanie said gesturing with her hand to follow her.
----
When they stopped, they were in a very big department store, when they walked inside and saw that it was split into two different sections. One side was all dresses and jewelry for the girls, and the other section was all different suits, shirts and other accessories.
"Wow!" Ash, Misty, May and Brock said in a unison.
"You like?" Stephanie said.
"Steph, I don't know where to start." Misty said.
"Well, it's split already, that's a start-" Stephanie started.
But she was cut off by a small woman's voice, but she had a very thick Spanish accent. She was wearing an off the shoulder red blouse with a short jean skirt with a brown and gold belt, had big thick gold earrings, and mid back curly length brown hair with light brown highlights.
"Estephanie, Ay mami is that jue?" She said coming to Stephanie and giving her a kiss on cheek.
"Hey Maria, I forgot that you were here, I thought you went home already." Stephanie told her.
"Oh please, these people need me, Es como no puede hacer nada con mìgo." Maria stated. (they can't doing anything without her).
"Oh really?" Stephanie said.
"Sì." She said putting her hands on her hips. "Ah, y que es estan tres?" She asked in interest. (Yes, and who are these three?)
"These are a good friends of mine, Ash, Misty, May and Br-" Stephanie looked around. "Where the heck did Brock go?" She asked.
Then in a flash Brock was on one knee with a bouquet of roses in one hand and the other holding Maria's hand, this made everyone (except Maria) fall back anime style.
"Maria, I have to say that your beauty can perfectly match these roses, and the way that you say it I want you to be my amor-" Brock was cut off by Misty dragging him by the ear.
"You know that's the last time I let you watch Novelas and let you get ideas." Misty said while dragging him.
Maria laughed nervously. "Buena, now that's over, how can I help jue's?"
"Were looking for things to wear for the league prom, and we kinda need it by today the party is in two days." Stephanie said.
"Ah Sì the prom, I can help." Maria said.
"Bueno, Los muchachos puede buscan sus cosas pora ja." (Well, then, the boys can find there things over there) Maria said pointing at the men's department.
But the only respond that she got was blank looks at Ash, Misty, May, and Brock's faces.
"Uh, Maria they don't know Spanish like I do." Stephanie whispered to her.
"Oh, pedorame, I sometime forget, now I want the girls to follow me while jue boys go over there and ask for Treston." Maria said and walked away with Misty, May and Stephanie following her.
----
Maria had lead the three to an area that had only but prom dresses, they ranged from big to small, lengths long and short, and any color that is possible. Opposite from the dresses were dressing rooms and then three tall mirrors in a small area that had a circle platform in the middle and then a small runway.
"Wow." Misty said.
"All these dresses are beautiful." May said.
"But Stephanie how are we gonna pay for the dresses?" Misty asked.
"Would you stop with that, I told you I got it under control." Stephanie said.
"Ahora, who's going to be first?" Maria asked.
The three of them looked at each other and then May stepped out.
"I'll go." She said.
"Hmm" Maria stared at May up and down, May arched an eyebrow not knowing what to do.
"Uh..what?-" She started.
"Shhh, I am looking at you to find the perfect dress...AH HA!" Maria said going to a couple of racks, she looked through the purple colored dresses.
"Dondè tas?" (where is it?) She mumble to herself.
"She can find a dress for you by looking at you?" Misty asked Stephanie.
"Yup I've seen her before in action, she looks at your body shape and then decides on the length of the dress shoes and jewelry." Stephanie said.
There was a small moment of silence when out of nowhere came a loud crash where Maria was getting May's dresses.
"CHOCHA!" They heard her yell. ($#&!)
"Maria, the language!" Stephanie yelled back.
Maria came back with three purple, lilac, and lavender dresses, and a little annoyed face, she dusted herself off and then handed the dresses to May.
"Here jue go, you can change in the premeda door to the left." Maria pointed out to the changing rooms with a smile.
"OK." May said with a small sweatdrop.
Maria did the same thing with Misty and Stephanie, Maria found three blue, white and yellow dresses, while she found four red, turquoise, pink, and black dresses. (A/N: I'm kinda cutting it short since it's long already.) They tried the dresses on and May had pick out a light purple dress out of her, Stephanie picked a satin blue dress, and Misty picked out a turquoise. (A/N: The whole description is in the next chap. that goes for the guys too.)
"Thank you so much Maria." Misty said.
"Yeah I love this dress." May said.
"Ah, but I'm not finished." Maria said holding her finger up.
"Your not?" Misty and May said.
"Your jewelry nena, you have to be complete the dresses are just part of it." Maria said.
"But Maria I don't know, we have a budget." Stephanie said and then whispered to her, "I was gonna just pay for the dresses and suits I don't know about jewelry now."
"Calmate, that's why you me as a friend, sì?" Maria smiled.
Maria brought them to the jewelry section and took out four trays of each earrings, necklaces and hair accessories. Their mouths dropped to the floor to the different diamonds and stones that were laid out in front of them.
"Now, for Misty?" Maria said.
"Yes," Misty said.
She took out a pair of diamond earring that were long and on each tip was a decorated diamond stud, and a sharp diamond necklace that came down in a v-shape and in the middle also had a fairly large diamond.
"Te gusta?" (you like it?) Maria asked her.
Misty just nodded and pick up one of the earrings to examine at it more.
"Now for jue and May." Maria said to Stephanie and May.
She pick out large white gold hoops with diamond studs at the top ends and a matching hair clip for Stephanie, and curvy white gold and pink necklace with a matching pair of pink dropped stoned earrings, and a designer side hair piece.
"This is gorgeous." May said.
"What do we do about the money-" Stephanie started.
"Mèda, I'm going to let jue's borrow the jewelry all jue have to do is represent the department, and we can both have what we want." Maria explained.
"Really?" Misty said.
"Clado que sì." Maria smiled. (Of course)
They went up to the register and paid for the dresses and everything else that they had had came across. Stephanie paid for everything except the jewelry, Misty and May thanked her and waved good-bye to Maria and lefted the store each carrying there dresses. They found a small bench in the front and May and Stephanie decided to sit.
"I wonder if Ash and Brock found anything." Misty wondered.
"I'm sure they did, they better have." Stephanie said.
----
A couple of minutes later Ash and Brock came out holding two suits and a small bag of something else, and meet the girls at where they were sitting.
"I thought you's were going to take longer." Brock said.
"Nope, we had someone good helping us." Misty said.
"So ready to go back to the hotel and put everything away?" Ash asked.
They nodded and were on their way back to the hotel, and counting down the two days lefted for the party of the year.
