Thanks for all the reviews.

"Are you ready for the ball, my princess?"

"What ball? The only ball I heard of was the coronation ball in a couple of weeks."

"Well there is a ball... tonight."

"No wonder I haven't seen the princesses since this morning." May said.

"But the ball isn't until later tonight. It's barely noon."

"What if they don't like me?"

"They'll-"

"What if I'm not pretty enough?"

"May, you're-"

"What if-" He lifted her chin and kissed her. She then shut up.

"What if they do like you?"

"But what if-" his finger touched her lips, quieting her.

"What if they think your beautiful? What if you do everything right?"

"What if everything goes wrong and they didn't like me?"

"What if it doesn't matter what they think?"

"But-" He quieted her again.

"We're the ones getting married not them. That's why I wanted to get married before I become king. So they can't possibly say anything about you. Not if they care about their lives." May smiled.

"Don't you think they look cute together?" Misty whispered hiding a couple of feet behind them talking to Ash.

"Yea. Almost perfect... Speaking of perfect... Don't you have a ball to get ready for?"

"I'll be ready."

"Then tell me again. Why are we following them?"

"So they won't be alone."

"Who are we watching?"

"Ash, I thought I told you-" Misty responded.

"That wasn't me." Ash said.

Misty turned around. "Oh hi. Mr. and Mrs. Maple." 'Oh. This isn't good.' Misty thought. She turned towards where May and Drew were standing. They were inches apart and still moving closer to each other and turned back to the parents. "Umm... I have to get-." Then Misty said aloud, "Uh... May." She turned around and ran toward May.

May heard Misty's voice and pulled away from their almost kiss. "I'm sorry." May whispered to Drew. She then whispered to Misty "Misty, Can't you see I'm busy?"

"Not anymore." Misty said, "Your parents are behind you." May and Drew turned around. May blushed and Drew waved.

"Well I guess it is time for me to get ready for the ball." May said. "Goodbye Drew." May curtsied to Drew. Drew smiled and bowed knowing the 'game' she was playing to impress her parents.

"Goodbye, May" he took her hand and kissed it. "I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you too."

"We'll go the other way." Misty whispered.

"I think we should." May said.

"You'll be in very much trouble with your dad."

"I will. He doesn't know that I've kissed him before."

Drew entered the room with May. She was fully dressed in her gown. Drew smiled. "You look beautiful." May blushed.

"You really think so." May said touching her hair making sure it was perfect. He took the hand that was in her hair. She stood looking him in the eyes.

"You look marvelous. They'll love you." May blushed. "Tonight, you shall meet all the princes, princesses, kings, queens, dukes, duchesses, lords and ladies that are loyal to my father."

"Drew, Is this supposed to make me confident?"

"I thought it might. One thing I know is that they'll love you." He touched her cheek.

"I hope so." May said.

"Are you ready?" Drew asked. May nodded. "Don't worry. I promise. They'll be nothing like the princesses. Here, You can't forget this." He placed the tiara on her head and put a rose in her hand.

"Wow. It's beautiful. You've never given me a rose before."

"Well I guess you can say this is a first." Drew smiled. "This is just a simple way to tell you everyone will love you."

"Your highness." Drew turned to see one of the butlers. "It is time."

"Thank you. We'll be right there." Drew smiled at May. "Are you ready for the whole world to meet you?" Drew escorted her out of the room. She held unto his arm as they walked out.

"As ready as I'll ever be."

"Introducing… Prince Andrew Jarret Arthur Braden of Florence and May Louise Maple of Petalburgh."

"Look at her." Sarah said, "she's she's-"

"Beautiful." Guinevere said.

"Maybe we should just stop. She obviously won Drew. And look everyone here loves her." Liz says. "My daddy still thinks I'm I little princess. If I ruin that by a little prank-"

"Prank? This is revenge now." Sarah said.

"Sarah," Guinevere said, "Maybe this isn't a good idea. Your father was great friends with the Drew's father. Do you really think you should do this?"

"Yea Sarah. Our families are really close."

"Yea the last thing I need is to lose my allowance." Diane said.

"Yeah if I lose my allowance, I'd have to wear dresses… twice."

"Eww." Alex, Misty and Ash heard the princesses squeal. Alex and Misty laughed.

"I'm glad I'm not their friends anymore." Alex said.

"I never understood why you would be."

"Unlike you two I have to keep my composure." Ash said.

"When Ash laughs, he can't stop until many hours later." Misty said.

"Ha ha ha very funny." Ash smiled. Then they saw everyone dancing. Drew and May walked towards them.

"May, how was it?" Misty asked.

"The scariest thing I've ever done." May said.

"But you lived." Drew said.

"Yeah but any longer I would have probably fainted."

Drew then said, "But I wouldn't have let you." May giggled. "Now that we are done with that I have to introduce you to a lot more people."

"Uhh." May whispered. "How many?"

"Everyone who is here that you don't know."

"Will we get a chance to dance?" May asked.

"Of course." Drew said. "The ball doesn't end until early tomorrow morning."

"Oh swell." May laughed. "Will we be together the whole night?"

"Of course." Then he kissed her hand. May blushed.

"Aww Look at you two." May blushed again.

"What about you and Ash? You didn't tell me anything." May crossed her arms.

"Oh, she's crossing her arms." Misty said sarcastically.

"On no, we'd better go." Ash responded back and he held out his hand.. "Would you like to dance?"

She gratefully placed her hand on his. "I'd love too."

"May, Would like to dance before you meet the King of England?"

"Yes." May said. She took her hand that he held out for her.

"I wish I was like them." Alex said sadly.

"Hey."

"Hi, Cornelius." Alex said, "I didn't see you..." She was inches apart from him. "there."

"I… uh … wanted to know… if you'd… dance… with… me."

"Excuse me?" Alex asked.

"Would you like to dance?" he asked again.

"Aww Look at them now." May said to Drew.

"I know. He really likes her." Drew said.

"He does. I would have never known."

"He's really good at keeping things to himself." Drew said. May just smiled.
