Chapter 2: November 8, 2010- Day 1

Written By: TheChannyWizard

The air was crisp and the leaves were beautiful shades of red, orange, yellow, and green. The leaves rustled and the sun was bright in the air. Gary and Misty were riding on Milotic and Gyarados (respectively). As they rode, Gary spotted the Hayden Mansion and paused to take a deep breath. The mansion was huge; no, beyond huge. It had a beautiful garden filled with what else? Roses, of course! Though anyone not knowing May and Drew's past would be confused. There was a huge iron gate in front of the mansion with roses on the top instead of the spiky prongs. It seemed like the whole mansion theme was roses. Suddenly, pokemon cries were heard.

A brown haired man and a blue haired girl were on a Marshtomp. The man was Brock, and the girl behind him was Suzy. They had both met in Jhoto but Brock was heartbroken to find Suzy with Zane, another breeder. Well that wasn't the case now. Misty smiled and waved.

"Brock!" she called and Brock spotted her and grinned. He waved back and Suzy waved shyly. Gary smirked and nodded respectfully. Another pokemon cry was heard and all 4 adults looked up to see a young black haired girl (there's me, making an appearance!) and a brown haired boy behind her. They were both riding on a Dragonite who was squealing gleefully. The ground seemed to shake and Dawn and Paul rode on a seemingly agile Torterra. Misty squealed along with Dawn and they waved to each other happily.

At last, the 8 people reached the mansion. They all gaped in its glory until Dawn broke the silence. "Misty, oh my god, it's been so long!" Misty laughed and hugged the bluenette. The two unknown people surveyed the place. Misty glanced at them.

"Er...not to be rude, but who are you?" she asked, and the girl with the black hair looked at her. Misty got a better look at the girl. She was tall and slender and had a perfect figure, with black hair that reached her mid back. Her eyes were sparkling with delight and her slender hands were on her hips. She wore a white spaghetti strap tank top with a half sleeve jean jacket over leggings. She wore ballet flats. The boy next to her had caramel brown hair. It was styled like one of those boy bands you would see, and his right arm was around the girl's waist. He wore a white tee with a black leather jacket over it. Faded blue jeans and sneakers completed his look.

"I'm Elizabeth, and this is my fiancé, James," she smiled sweetly. Misty nodded and began to introduce herself.

"I'm Misty, leader of the Cerulean Gym, and apparently known as the Water Mermaid,"

"Hey, I'm Gary Oak, grandson of Samuel Oak, professor of Cerulean City- and the fiancé of her," he said, jabbing his thumb towards Misty.

"I'm Brock, the breeder, and this is my friend, Suzy," Brock said, and if you looked closely, they were both disappointed when he said this.

"I'm Dawn, aspiring coordinator, and this is Paul, aspiring Pokemon master," she grinned. Elizabeth and James smiled just as Smithy the Butler opened the gates.

"Mr. Drew and Ms. May are in the contest training area. Follow me please," he said in a British monotone. The 8 looked at each other and followed the man.

"ALTARIA!"

"FLY-FLYGON!" 2 pokemon cried and startled the guests. Well, what really startled them were the people on the pokemon. Drew on his green Flygon and May on her blue and white Altaria were flying through the sparkles created by Beautifly and her silver wind and Masquerain and his silver wind. They were awestruck as they heard the delighted squeals of May and the chuckles from Drew.

"Master..." Smithy trailed off. At first Drew looked annoyed, but when he say the guests he prodded May, who blushed and called off the attacks. The happy married couple came to a graceful decent and stop.

"Dawn, Misty, Gary, Lizzie, James, Brock, Suzy, Paul, it's been so long!" May gasped, her bubbly personality taking over. "So how have you guys been?" she asked. Everyone murmured their replies. She hugged them all and took a step back as Drew greeted them. Drew turned to the butler.

"Where are our manners, Smithy, go get our guests some drinks," Drew ordered and Smithy nodded. Elizabeth and James suddenly spoke up.

"Hey, May, Drewsy, Jamey and I have to go. We'll be back by nightfall though." she added to May's questioning glance. The 2 left. Brock and Suzy left a short while after for who knows why. May looked at her 2 dearest and closest friends.

"Looks like it's us 3 again," she laughed and the three friends walked together into the house. Drew smiled and shook his head. He looked over to Gary and Paul.

"So you finally proposed, huh?" he smirked over to Gary, who glared.

"Psh, yea..." he trailed off. Paul scoffed.

"Didn't think you had it in you," he laughed and Gary crossed his arms.

"Oh yea? What about you grape face?" he jeered and Drew laughed, looking over to Paul, who blushed profusely.

"Dawn and I are taking it slow..." he muttered to the now laughing Gary and Drew.

"Yea...that excuse...is for...PANSIES!" Gary roared with laughter as Paul growled. The two stopped laughing eventually.

"So when's the wedding?" Drew asked, already sympathizing for the spiked brunette. Gary shrugged.

"I dunno...but money can go a long way...only the best for her," he flashed a genuine smile, making Drew smile. There was nothing like an honest relationship. Gary suddenly frowned. "So when's Ashy- boy coming?" he glared at the ground. Drew and Paul smiled sympathetically. They both knew the rough history of Gary and Ash, and no man could blame him for dreading the fact. "Why did you invite him in the first place?" he grumbled and Drew sighed.

"You know May...she was gave me the 'Ash-is-a-friend-and-you-know-it' glare and I couldn't resist..." he shook his head regretfully. "Well, what's done is done, so we may as well forget it and just live with the drama." By this time, Smithy had returned with 3 glasses of beer for the men. "Let the drama begin" he raised his glass with the other two men copying his actions.
