Hey...Another Chapter is here. Geez...I sure don't sound very enthusiastic do I? But the truth is, I'm REALLY NOT enthusiastic as my dearest mom decided that it is a good idea for me to start my tuition in the middle of November.

Anyways, I apologize for not updating for such a long time! Yup...around 2 to 3 weeks is a rather long time... ON WITH THE STORY!

(With Boyztown & the Maple Duo...) (Ash's POV)

SPLAT!

Darn it! The du really likes to use food to attack us right? Because soon after we wiped away the tomato juice, we were pelted with cabbages.

Misty and May had fire in their eyes. I guess they are not very happy about the spotlight being taken away from them. After all, we were to blame. That was their concert; they deserve to be in the centre of attention.

Drew frowned before yelling, "STOP!"

Everyone in the room froze. Then May frowned.

"Why should I?" She defiantly said. Misty backed May up by...

Tossing ice cubes down my back.

"AIYEE!" I shrieked. Apparently, I must have sounded very girlish because everyone in the room (excluding the waiters) burst into laughter.

I glanced at Misty. She was smiling and laughing. Just like how we were in High School.

(Flashback...)

The Maple Sisters appeared in a flash outside the boy's dorm. Misty stepped forward and knocked on the door. Ash was already behind the door. He and the boys winked at each other and opened the door.

"Do you have our partners?" Misty asked, peering in. "Yup. We do." Ash said merrily. Misty narrowed her eyes. This is weird. Why is he so happy? Oh well, I must be thinking too much. Misty thought. The Maple Sisters walked in the wide door. All of them tripped over at the same time.

"AHH!" They shrieked. The Maple Sisters fell into the boy's chest. The boys snickered. This is going according to plan. They thought. Misty is heavier than Ash thought. Thus, Ash stumbled backwards. But unfortunately for him, Pikachu and the rest of their partner Pokémon happen to be playing chase. Ash tripped over Togepi and fell onto the ground with Misty on top of him.

(May and Drew's case)

"Gee April." Drew snickered. "Can't keep away from me huh?" He teased. "As I was saying, my name's May! Not April or other months!" May spat out.

(Dawn and Paul's case)

"Troublesome. You're so heavy!" Paul complained. "And annoying." He added under his breath. "You are not a walk in the park yourself!" Dawn protested. "And," She added. "Am I really that heavy?" Paul rolled his eyes.

(Amelia and Justin's case)

"Ouch!" Amelia grumbled. Justin sniggered. "I did not know that you are such a klutz." He said teasingly. "I'm not usually so clumsy." Amelia said out loud. "Neither am I!" Misty protested. "Same here." Dawn agreed. "In fact, the only one who is clumsy is May." Dawn added, smirking at May. Drew sniggered along with the Maple Sisters.

"Dawn, you're so dead..." May muttered. "HEY! The boys laid a trap for us!" Misty voice rang out as clear as a bell. "OMG! I can't believe you guys would do something like that!" Amelia spat out furiously. "What are you guys talking about?" Ash asked innocently.

"You guys know what we're talking about." Misty and Amelia said in unison fuming with anger. "What did they do?" Dawn and May asked, oblivious to their sister's discovery. "Look!" Amelia said, pointing to a string attached to the walls. Dawn and May understood it instantly. The Maple Sisters glared at the whimpering boys.

Misty smirked. "Good thing I'm always prepared!" She said. The boys gulped at that. What does she mean? Ash thought. Out of the blue, Misty whipped out a mallet and started whacking the boys. The boys started running around the room. "Oh no! You guys are NOT getting away!" May say firmly. Drew gulped. "Beautifly! Use psychic! Immobilize them!" May say gleefully.

Just like that, the boys could not move. "Now let's get the party started!" Dawn shouted, clearly enjoying how uncomfortable the boys were. "Piplup! Use whirlpool!" Dawn shouted. The boys were drenched in a few seconds.

"Now is my turn!" Amelia said, grinning from ear to ear. Oh no. Even though I don't know what's in store for us, I'm sure it's nothing good. Justin thought. "Go Altaria!" Amelia cried. The humming Pokémon appeared. "Use flamethrower to dry them up!" She declared. Now, the boys are not wet; they are toasted.

"Hmm...I think we have gone a little too much." Misty mockingly said. "Shall we give them a reward?" May questioned. The boys gulped. They were convinced by now that the Maple Sister's meaning of 'reward' is not the dictionary's meaning.

"Let's go! Azuril/Altaria/Togepi/Buneary/Starmie! Use Ice beam!" The Maple Sisters shouted. "Delcatty/Skitty/Glaceon/Dewgong! Use blizzard!" They added, smiling away. Now, the boys were dried. They were also not toasted. But they were frozen.

"Now for the grand finale!" Amelia yelled. "Azuril! Iron tails them!" Azurill's iron tail shattered the ice. With that, May instructed Beautifly to let the boys go. The boys lay on the floor, panting. All the Pokémon sniggered at the boys.

"Traitors." Ash mumbled. "So are you guys gonna apologize?" May demanded. "What? Apologize? We, Haydens do not apologize!" Drew said. "As a matter of fact, none of us would apologize." Paul said coldly. "Fine!" Dawn said, looking at Amelia. Amelia nodded. "Delcatty! Thunderbolt!" She screeched. "Wait stop!" Justin protested. Delcatty stop. "Alright. We'll apologize." Drew said through gritted teeth.

(Flashback ends.)

I smiled at the memory. That seemed soooooo long ago and far away. Now, whenever Misty sees me, she hardly smiles, usually frown or produced a faint smile. Never a full, bright smile. The same one that had me attracted to her during High School.

"Come on dummies." Misty softened. "Let's eat!" Justin joked, "Are you sure that the food would not come and attack us?" "Yes. I'm very sure that even if the food comes and attack you, I have nothing to do with it!" May laughed.

Paul scanned the room. I knew what he was thinking. "Hey. Where's Dawn?" He questioned, trying to looking as normal as possible.

May gasped. All of us stared at her. "What's wrong?" Drew demanded. May pointed a finger at Paul, as if she had just seen horns grew in his head.

"H-He...He..." May stuttered. Uh oh... I thought. Drew is soooooo getting mad and overprotective of May. Had he forgot that May was an assassin?

"He what May?" Misty was also getting impatient. "He never calls Dawn Troublesome!" May exclaimed.

All of us sweat dropped and laughed at May's over dramatic act. "Um..." Paul muttered to Misty. "So where is Dawn?" "Oh yeah!" Misty giggled, pausing for breath. "Dawn is at Lilycove! She hadn't finished the shoot. I think."

May asked, "Paul. Why do you want to know?" Paul mumbled, "I was wondering why the room is so quiet. You know, Troublesome can't stop talking even for a second.

"Really..." Justin teased. Paul stiffened and gave him an 'I'm gonna kill you later' look. Justin just shrugged it off.

"Come on you guys. Order your food!" May said cheerfully, digging into her fish 'n' chips. Misty nodded before digging into her ham baked rice.

(Dawn's POV)

I said through telepathy to Amelia, Misty and May, "Please, do come to Lilycove for dinner. Since the shoot for "Arriving and Departing in Style" is finished, the director wanted to throw a dinner bash. He also wanted to talk to us about a movie that he thinks all of us would do perfectly. The dinner bash is at Hearthome City."

Amelia replied, "No problem! I've almost finished my shoot and interview too. Do you want to have lunch together? I'm almost at Lilycove." I replied, "Yup."

Misty said, "Sure. No problem! Good thing I do not have a concert."

May said, "I might be a little late. Since I will have an interview to go to at around 6 pm." I told her, "Never mind! The dinner starts at 7.30 pm. There's plenty of time."

May said, "You know how those reporter people would drag. They always drag." I smiled before saying, "Yeah...You're quite right."

(Skip all the way to May and her interview...) (May's POV)

Guess what? I'm right that the reporters and their cameraman would take a long long time setting up. I reached there at 5.45 pm. This was rather good as I had a mini concert before that. But none of them were there!

I waited till 6.15 pm before they arrived. "Oh! Miss May! I'm so sorry we were late. You know, traffic." The reporter smiled. I smiled, "Never mind. What matters most is that you are here." "Oh thank you!" The reporter said, beaming.

I thought, sure, the traffic is really terrible...like I believe it! I rolled my eyes.

And it took them another 30 minutes to set their equipment up.

(May's interview...) (May's POV)

Gosh! It is soooooo boring! They took soooooo long to set things up. Sighs...

"So May, how is your singing career going?" The reported, Shelly, asked.

I gave a bright smile and said, "It going really well. I'm going to have my junior album out around the end of this year and it is going to feature all of my music videos. Plus, when the special edition comes out, I would have a few new songs with their music videos included too!"

Shelly exclaimed, "That's fantastic! I'm sure that all of your fans out there would be delighted at that news! By the way, is there any chance that you would return to become an assassin?"

I frowned. This is a rather hard question. "I don't really know. Right now, I'm focused on my singing career."

Shelly's smile faltered. "Oh. I see."

(With Misty, Amelia and Dawn at the dinner...) (Normal POV)

"Wow! There is just so much food here!" Misty exclaimed cheerfully. "Yup... They even have a good salad bar!" Amelia exclaimed, holding a plate full of greens. Dawn said, "After all, not much restaurants or buffet have a good salad bar."

"These huge disco ball like lights are soooooo pretty!" Dawn sighed, standing under a pale pink one. "Geez...I wonder where May is..." Amelia mumbled.

"I guess she is stuck in the interview or she is stuck in a jam?" Misty suggested hopefully. "Hope she would get here soon. She is really missing out the delicious food here!" Dawn said. "Yeah! Have you look at the desert? It is fantastic! I heard that they even have fro yo here!" Amelia said, brightening up.

"Yup! Not much buffet has fro yo!" Misty sighed, her eyes shining at the thought of eating fro yo later for desert. Amelia and Dawn nodded happily and eating their food.

Then,

PIANG!

Amelia shut her eyes in pain as she hit the floor, hard.

Ooh! Cliffy! What happened to Amelia? And would May even get to the buffet? The questions would be answered in the next chapter!

I'm sorry for giving you guys such a short chapter... BTW, visit my blog .

Ahh...My PSLE results are going to come out tomorrow! I'm so nervous! I hope I would get to the school of my wish / dreams. After all, I really wanted to go to a school which is well known for Arts.

Anyways, the next update would be for "His and Her Side of Life"! Watch out for that update! Wish me luck and Cya!
