Chapter 2: It must be destiny!

"Introducing the Maple Sisters!" Claire announced.

Misty sung, "For those who don't know me. I can get a bit crazy. Have to get my way, yep. 24 hours a day 'cause I'm hot like that." The spotlight focused on Misty while the rest of the Maple Sisters danced, doing seductive moves that makes the crowd go WILD!

Amelia took the next verse. "Every guy, everywhere. Just gives me mad attention. Like I'm under inspection. I always get a ten 'cause I'm built like that." She did some twists while the rest of the Maple Sisters did somersaults.

Dawn and May sung while they pranced down the stage to 'greet' the fans, "I go through guys like money flyin' out the hands. They try to change me but they realize they can't. And every tomorrow is a day I never plan. If you gonna be my man understand!"

Dawn and May opened their arms wide for Skitty and Pachirisu to jump into their arms. Amelia and Misty took the cue to release two pokeballs. Delcatty and Corsola appeared in rainbow coloured smoke.

The crowd cheered. They were definitely loving every minute of it. The Maple Sisters grinned as they sung the chorus together.

(Somewhere at the backstage...)

I can't be tamed
I can't be tamed
I can't be blamed
I can't, can't, I can't, can't be tamed

I can't be changed
I can't be tamed
I can't be, can't, I can't be tamed

"Damn the TV!" Drew Hayden cussed under his breath. Yes, Boyztown were here at Hearthome City. They were supposed to be in this concert. They were supposed to watch the concert too.

They heard the crowd cheering soooooo loudly that they were going to be deaf sooner or later. But what's wrong?

THE STUPID TV IN THEIR ROOM WAS NOT WORKING! Justin Hayden, Drew's cousin, groaned, "We are here. We could hear the music. But we can't see the dance!"

If there is a question about my intentions
I'll tell ya, I'm not here to sell ya
Or tell you to go to hell
(I'm not a brat like that)

Paul Shinji frowned at the voice. That voice sounds soooooo familiar. And sweet. Could it be her? His mind flashed to a memory that conveniently happened in Hearthome City a few years back.

(Flashback...REALLY SHORT!)

Dawn spoke up. "My name's Dawn Maple. I'm a coordinator like Amelia. May partner Pokémon is Piplup. I made the decision not to let Piplup evolve."

It could not be possible for her to return right? After all, it had been three years since they had last seen them. Gosh, it even hurt him to say her group name.

I'm like a puzzle
but all of my pieces are jagged
If you can understand this
We can make some magic, I'm on like that

Drew frowned. "Eh? Do you guys find these voices rather familiar?" Ash Ketchum frowned, "No that you mention it, I think I head these voices somewhere..."

I wanna fly, I wanna drive, I wanna go
I wanna be a part of something I don't know
And if you try to hold me back, I might explode
Baby, by now you should know

I can't be tamed
I can't be tamed
I can't be blamed
I can't, can't, I can't, can't be tamed

I can't be changed
I can't be tamed
I can't be, can't, I can't be tamed

Paul rolled his eyes, "Of course we heard these voices somewhere! Or else why would we find it familiar?" Justin laughed at Ash's denseness.

"No. I'm saying I heard it today!" Ash snapped. Drew choked on his water. "Really? When? Where?" "I said today. And I think I heard it at Saffron City while Lance said he wanted to meet me there for a deal or something."

"Then? We want the deets!" Justin said. Ash scratched his head, "Erm... Lance wanted me to listen to the concert that was in Saffron City. I think his sister, Claire, is the manager of that singer."

Well I'm not a trick you play
I'm wired a different way
I'm not a mistake, I'm not a fake
It's set in my DNA

Don't change me
Don't change me
Don't change me
Don't change me
(I can't be tamed)

I wanna fly, I wanna drive, I wanna go
I wanna be a part of something I don't know
And if you try to hold me back I might explode
Baby, by now you should know

Boyztown started taking his iphone and searching through the internet/news. "What are you doing? You boys are supposed to be warming up your vocal chords or listening to the music!" Lance bellowed as he entered the room, only to find Boyztown sitting or standing fiddling with their iphone.

"Checking who was the singer at the Saffron Concert." Drew absentmindedly said.

I can't be tamed
I can't be tamed
I can't be blamed
I can't, can't, I can't, can't be tamed

I can't be changed
I can't be tamed
I can't be, can't, I can't be tamed

"Oh? That's Misty Maple. Her Sister, May Maple is going to be singing the duet with you guys. My sister is rather proud of them as they had risen to fame really fast!" Lance said happily. "It would be fantastic for Boyztown, to do a duet with the two Maples who are singers. If I remembered correctly, the oldest Maple, Amelia, is a model. I think she is doing a shoot with you guys next week or the week after."

Lance paused for breath. "And the youngest. Dawn Maple, is an actress. Sooner or later you guys would need to sign a contract to do a movie with her. She is going to be very famous just like her sisters, so we must do one with her so that you guys would be equally famous."

The Boyztown felt like fainting.

No...It could not be. They are back? Impossible! Drew desperately thought.

Through the speakers, the Boyztown could hear Claire announcing. "That was the Maple Sister's opening song! So now, let's listen to Misty and May's Behind enemy lines!"

And I feel, I feel a deep connection
And I think, that we might be onto somethin, no
And I know it's somethin special
Seein' you here is not coincidental, mhmm

They could hear Misty's voice loud and clear. Ash smiled at the beautiful voice he missed throughout the years.

Well I've been walkin, walkin behind enemy lines
And I've been fightin, fightin from the other side
I've been sayin, sayin that I won't fall this time
But now I'm walkin, walkin within enemy lines

Ooo, oh

Drew and Ash were both captivated at May and Misty's duet for the chorus. Justin and Paul felt like fainting. Lucky them that they had the song to concentrate on while I'm thinking about facing Amelia for the photo shoot... Justin thought wryly.

Paul thought, seeing Dawn again is great! But what could I say? It's been so long since we were apart and we have spent so little time together at Hearthome High! Even though I saw them appearing on TV when they finished a mission two years ago, it is just not the same as seeing her face to face.

See I was tryin to be everything you weren't expecting
All I ever wanted was to try and keep you guessing
But I'm falling way too fast
I just want this love to last forever, forever
And every time I feel this way
Oh, somethings changed for the better
(Whoa whoa whoa ooo)

Lance said, "Well, one song after this would be your turn." Ash gulped. They'll have to face The Maple Sisters sooner or later. But unfortunately, he and Drew would be the ones suffering the impact. After all, Dawn and Amelia would not be singing. They are only featured in the opening song.

From the speaker, Claire said, "That's Behind the Enemy Line! Next song is going to be...It's not too late!"

Cheer erupted from the audience. I guess that is another popular song for them as well...Justin thought.

Ohh
Here I am
Feels like the walls are closing in
Once again it's time to face it and be strong
I wanna do the right thing now
I know it's up to me somehow
I've lost my way

(With Amelia and Dawn...) (Dawn's POV)

"Hmm...Okay Claire. We don't mind playing those songs when you guys need them." Amelia said. "Thanks girls! Oh yeah Amelia, instead of only you doing the shoots with Boyztown, we also want your sisters to join in for some group shoots." Claire said.

If I could take it all back I would now
I never meant to let you all down
And now I've got to try to turn it all around
And figure out how to fix this
I know there's a way so I promise
I'm gonna clean up this mess I made
Maybe It's not too late
Maybe it's not too late oh

"Sure!" Amelia cheerfully replied. I guess Amelia does not want to face four boys alone. I thought. "Besides, who are the Boyztown?" I asked. Claire gasped. "You guys don't know and still agree to the shoot?"

Amelia and I sheepishly grinned. Claire took out a poster of the Boyztown and showed us.

...

My heart plummeted to a stop and my blood turned cold.

No way...I thought...No way is this happening! After so long...It can't come back...

So I'll take a stand
Even though it's complicated
If I can I wanna change the way I've made it
I gotta do the right thing now
I know it's up to me some how
I'll find my way

(With May and Misty on stage...) (May's POV)

"If I could take it all back I would now. I never meant to let you all down. And now I've got to try to turn it all around. And figure out how to fix this. I know there's a way so I promise. I'm gonna clean up the mess I made. Maybe it's not too late." We sung in unison.

Misty sang, "I'm gonna find the strength. To be the one who that holds it all together." And I continued, "Show you that I'm sorry. But I know that we can make it better."

I never meant to let you all down
Now I've got to try to turn it all around
And figure out how to fix this
I know there's a way so I promise
I'm gonna clean up this mess I made
Maybe It's not too late
Maybe it's not too late oh yeah

For the last two choruses, Misty and I danced while our Pokémon performed. The cleaning crew is going to have a fun time cleaning up the stage. Since Misty's water Pokémon and attacks are making the stage wet. I have to be sure I do not slip on the water.

For my Pokémon, we do appeals. After this song, we would have to listen to two songs by Boyztown, and then do the duets with Boyztown. Then it is back to home for the next day!

(After the song is over...) (With Boyztown...)

"And that's a wrap for the Maple Duo! Now let's give a hand for Boyztown and their song, my shoes!"

Drew fixed his hair and asked Paul, "Does my hair look okay?" Paul said, "Yes it does and I'm sure some people would faint when they see it." "I know my fans would faint when I flick it. You don't have to remind me time after time." Drew replied, annoyed.

Justin said, "Nooooo. Paul was saying he is sure May Maple would faint as she can't believe you are back!" "Oh." Drew simply said. "Geez. I thought you guys always say I'm the dense one." Ash laughed.

"Alright boys, do your best."

(With the Maple Sisters...)

Amelia nervously cleared her throat. "Um...Misty and May?" "Yes?" The duo responded at the same time. Amelia glanced at Dawn. Clearly, she does not want to endure a screaming Misty and May after they break the news.

Oh, Yeah
I see you standing by your locker all day
I wanna say "hey"
But boy I'm too shy to break the ice
I know you know a lot of my friends
I heard this from them
Your not only fine you're so nice

Dawn gave her an encouraging nod. "Well, Boyztown is actually the boys." Amelia blurted out. "Hmm? Which boys?" May asked. Amelia turned to Dawn, giving her a pleading look.

(They can see that)
Because of you I've got it so bad
I wonder if you know
(you're the one boy)
But I need help with my approach boy

If only you could step in my shoes
You'd know how I feel
You'd know that I'm good for you
If only you could step in my shoes
Baby you'd see what I mean
And let me just make a move
If only you could step in my shoes

Dawn blurted, "Drew, Paul, Ash and Justin." Misty yelled, "NO WAY!" May look horrified. "OH NO!" "We are soooooooo not ready to face them! After confessing to them, it is just not right! And we are now famous. WE can dump everything and leave!" Misty screeched.

Step in my shoes
Step in baby yeah
Step, step in baby
Step in my shoes
Step in baby yeah
Step, step in baby

Sometimes I think you're looking over at me
Like I'm what you need
But maybe it's all in my mind
I wish that I could give you a call {give you a call}
Confessing it all
And one of these days I just might

(Get your number)
get your number
But for now I'll have to wonder

"SHH!" Amelia shushed Misty. "Anyways, we'll just do the song and the shoot. Then we can wave goodbye to them!" Dawn yelled. "After all, they are famous, just like us. So they'll know that we can't get together since we got duties and concerts and others to tend to!" Misty cried, snapping her fingers.

Step in my shoes
Step in baby yeah
Step, step in baby
Step in my shoes
Step in baby yeah
Step, step in baby

What would it be like
If you were
Walking right by
If I fessed up
Said "what's up"
Would I get a reply?
If you knew what I knew
I bet that you would smile
You'd see it through my eyes

If only you could step in my shoes
Step, step in my shoes
Baby I'm so into you
Step, step in my shoes

"Geez...I hope I'm not tongue tied later when we are supposed to be singing..." May muttered. Apparently, after hearing May, Misty is feeling nervous herself.

"Oh no! When I'm in Saffron, I saw someone that looked like Ash. But I'm not sure. And even when I'm not sure, I almost messed up my song!" Misty whined.

Dawn whispered to Amelia, "I soooooo would not like to be in their shoes now..." Amelia nodded, clearly agreeing with Dawn.

From the speakers they could hear Lance, "That was My shoes! So give a round of applause for it! Next up is...Sorry Sorry!"

The crowds screamed. Mostly the fan girls. Drew flicked his hair and the fans screamed even more. Dawn rolled her eyes. Amelia said, "Some things never change." Then May added, "They are so hot!"

Dawn chocked on her sparkling water.

Misty muttered, "We ain't blind..."

(With Boyztown...)

Ash sung, "Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry. I I I first. For you for you for you I fell fell fell fallen baby." Drew and the rest concentrated on playing their instruments, which consists of one drum, two electric guitar and one electric keyboard.

Drew took the next lines, "Shawty Shawty Shawty Shawty. Eyes are blinding blinding blinding. Breathe is stifled stifled stifled. I'm going crazy crazy baby."

At backstage, Dawn rolled her eyes and said, "Must they keep on repeating words?" Amelia added, "It's starting to get to my head!" "At least you are not the one singing with them later!" May complained. Misty kept quiet and concentrated on staring at Ash and Ash alone. (AWW!)

"Inside the glaze that stares back at me. Inside the glaze it's as if I'm. As if I'm a guy bewitched bye something. I can't even escape it now." Paul sung and strummed his guitar. His mind was on Dawn. By the way, this song was written mainly due to the Maple Sisters, so it makes sense that they are thinking of them while they are singing it. Paul tried to reason with himself.

At backstage, Dawn's jaw dropped. How did Paul become so good in singing? And heck, he is even hotter than before! May, who was beside Dawn, nudged her. Dawn snapped back into reality. Amelia winked and said, "Now now, we don't want the tabloids to be filled with info on Dawn drooling over Paul Shinji from Boyztown right?" Dawn wiped her mouth and says no more.

"The way you look when you walk over. The way you look it's as if. You came and stepped on my heart on the way. I can't even escape it now." Justin sung with heart and soul. Amelia eyes literally popped out of its sockets.

"NO WAY! THERE'S JUST NO WAY!" She screeched in terror. No way is the Justin Hayden going to be more famous or equally famous as her! Hmm...though he might have a little chance though...He does seemed to be tanner now...

Argh! Amelia slapped her forehead. The music must be getting to my head!

Ash sung, "Wherever you go you confidently. Smile, your attractiveness." Then he gave a wink to the crowd. That, made the girls scream wildly and started to rush over to the stage, shouting, "ASH! YOU'RE MINE!" Then the other fans screamed, "NO! HE'S MINE!" Then the others, "No, Mine!"

Ash had to suppress a laughter bubbling up his throat, "A rare beauty and a good girl
universally thought of."

Misty was fuming mad. "How dare they! How dare they!" She screeched. "Wow Misty, in all my years of being your sister, I would never think that you are the jealous type." May commented. Misty reddened and shut up.

"Proudly, without stopping. You're really like a fantasy. So much that people can't change their mind about it. I've fallen for you." Drew sung, jumping off stage to be lifted up by his fans.

May felt her eye twitched. Misty laughed, "Look's like I'm not the only one that is green with envy!"

Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry
I I I first
For you for you for you I fell
fell fell fallen baby
Shawty Shawty Shawty Shawty
Eyes are blinding blinding blinding
Breathe is stifled stifled stifled
I'm going crazy crazy baby
Ddanddan ddanddada dda ddaranddan
Ddanddan ddanddada dda
I've fallen baby
Ddanddan ddanddada dda ddaranddan
Ddanddan ddanddada dda ddarabbabbara

Dawn sighed, "You know, those two are just soooooo lovesick. I wonder do they sell some medicine. We should get them to cure them you know." Amelia laughed.

"Hey girl girl girl girl girl girl girl I. When I open my eyes I think of you. Hey girl. Asleep or awake, the truth is I can only see you." Paul sung, raising his eyebrow and blew a kiss at the crowd. (I know I know, so unlike Paul...)

Dawn unknowingly smiled. And she stared dreamily into space. "Now look who's talking." Misty teased. That resulted to a mini catfight between the Maple Sisters.

Then..."That's the end! So now, it's Boyztown and Maple Duo's song!" Lance and Claire shouted as one. (Yeah, I'm lazy to write the rest of the song down. Since it is pretty long...)

(With the Maple Sisters...)

"Um...May? It's time..." Misty said in a really shaky voice. "Good luck to the both of you." Amelia said. "Yup! I hope Boyztown don't faint at the sight of you two!" Dawn said.

Misty rolled her eyes. "Thanks sis. That is really encouraging." She said sarcastically. "May and Misty! GET ON STAGE NOW!" A stagehand cried.

(Back on stage...) (May's POV)

"And now, for the moment you are waiting for!" Lance yelled. The crowds cheered. May rolled her eyes. Lance was soooooo loud. Like, this concert is supposed to be for Misty and me. NOT for Boyztown...Or the duet we were forced to do.

"And here they are!" Claire shouted, clearly filled with joy. BAM! The stagehands had activated a smoke bomb. I heard Misty cough in the smoke. But the audience were cheering so loudly that I don't think they would hear it.

Gosh...I whined in my head. No one told us about the smoke bomb. Best of all, no one told us who were Boyztown when Dawn agreed in behalf of us to feature them in our concert!

The music is starting now... Groan...Must face them sooner or later I guess. But I prefer later. Oh well. Anyways, it is not like I got a choice.

"And here's Come Clean!" Claire announced.

Misty sung softly, "Let's go back." Huh? What happen to May? Where is she? Anyway, be professional...Don't panic...Misty told herself.

"Back to the beginning." A male voice sung. Wait wait wait! That voice sounded familiar.
"Back to when the earth, the sun, the stars all aligned." Ash and I sung as one.

I, standing in the curtains, giggled. Gosh, it is just so funny to see Misty looking around for me. It is not really my fault. When the smoke bomb is activated, a stagehand pulled me into the curtains.

Oh right...My turn is coming.

A mini smoke bomb is activated. Yeah. They don't want the audience to NOT see us. And they don't want me to trip myself when I come out of the curtains since I can't see anything!

"'Cause perfect didn't feel so perfect." I heard a very familiar male voice sung. I pasted a smile on my face as I sung, "Trying to fit a square into a circle. Was no life. I defy."

Gosh...Now I know how Misty felt just now...Maybe I should not be so cocky like someone I know.

Out of the blue, Justin and Paul appeared.

"Let the rain fall down. And wake my dreams. Let it wash away. My sanity." They sung while Misty and I looked shock. A stagehand facing us gestured us to wipe the shock look off our face.

"'Cause I wanna feel the thunder!" I sung. "I wanna scream." Misty joined in. Misty thought, quite true...I really want to scream now...

"Let the rain fall down. I'm coming clean, I'm coming clean." Ash and Drew joined in.

"I'm shedding. Shedding every colour." Justin sung. "Trying to find a pigment of truth
beneath my skin." Paul sung.

(At backstage...) (Dawn's POV)

OMG! I can't believe why Paul can sing so well! ARGH! Hmm...Maybe I should put my anger aside and concentrate on admiring Paul...

...

...

Hey! What am I thinking! Am I gonna turn into another annoying fan? Hell, no! I'm so much better off thinking about BAD thing rather than good!

(On stage...) (Justin's POV)

"'Cause different. Doesn't feel so different." May and Drew sung together. I smiled. Geez...Claire and Lance are really good at giving us our roles. Somehow...Which until now I still dunno...They managed to pair us (Ash and Drew) up with the correct person!

"And going out is better. Then always staying in." Misty and Ash continued the part... "Feel the wind!" All of us sung together.

"Let the rain fall down! And wake my dreams, let it wash away. My sanity!" All of us sung. Hmm...I wonder how Amelia is doing. I could not believe I never managed to recognize her in the billboards outside our mansion.

Paul yelled out, "'Cause I wanna feel the thunder!" Oh yeah! I have to sing finish this song!

(Normal POV)

The crowd were on their feet, cheering and waving. All of the people (May, Misty, Drew, Justin, Ash and Paul) on stage, were waving along. They all actually had a good time. Even Misty. Despite her nerves. (Very OOC of Misty...)

"Thank you everyone for coming to this show! Since you guys like this song so much, I'm sure you will be happy to know that Boyztown and The Maple Sister would be doing another song together! Yes, the actress Dawn and supermodel Amelia is in too!" Claire and Lance said as one.

Misty smiled. Then...her eyes popped.

May's smile froze on her face.

Drew was smirking at the fact that May wasn't so happy. Then he frowned, wait...with Boyztown?

Ash had a look of horror on his face.

Paul's face remained emotionless.

Justin eyes widened.

At backstage, Amelia and Dawn both spit out their drink and said, "WHAT?"

Muah ha ha! Now...they are forced to have to see each other again! WOOTS for us now. WOOTS for us later. BOO for Boyztown and Maple Sisters now. But, they'll thank us later for cheering.

Anyways, hope you guys like this chapter! Some of the songs you guys suggested are not in this chapter since; I had already type it out before I saw the review. Sorry. But there are definitely more concerts to come!

Review! For the Boyztown and Maple Sister's sake! Please tell me what you guys think about this chapter. It would help me to correct my mistakes and do better stories.
