I is for Interest in You
"I'm 20 now and Drew is 21. I have won 3 ribbon cups and he has one 3. Drew and I went to a region that uses pair coordinating, so we decided to be partners. We started dating about a month after we started our partnership, his love confession wasn't very romantic.
He simply said, 'I have an interest in you. Let's go out." Romantic right? That's beside the point. Today is the day of the grand festival, we have gotten our 5 ribbons. I am wearing a navy and white striped dress and black shoes. (Picture on Profile) He was wearing a white dress shirt and navy dress pants. We were currently backstage waiting to be called. Drew seemed really .nervous which is unlike him.
"What's the matter?" I asked.
"Nothing." was his genius reply. I gave him a hug and it seemed to calm him a bit.
"Now, we have Drew Hayden and May Maple!" the MC called. We walked on stage and stood next to each other.
"Let's go!" We both cried, out of our pokeballs came, Beautifly and Masquerain.
"Wait." he whispered in my ear. I looked at him strangely.
"Combination M" he called to the two pokemon. My eyes widened, He hadn't taught me this combination.
I watched as Beautifly used stun spore and swift, while Masquerain used gust to shape it into a heart, than ice beam to freeze the swift stars and shiny stun spore powder. Finally Masquerain used ice beam to spell something out. I tilted my head to see what it said.
My mouth dropped open, in the ice beam it said, "Marry Me?" I heard the audience awwing. I turned to Drew only to see him on one knee with a box in his hand. My eyes started to water as I brought my hand up to cover my mouth. "May Maple, Will you marry me, your rival, friend, partner, and boyfriend?" I nodded and tackled him into a kiss. He slid the ring on my finger. (Picture on Profile) Our pokemon called out their names and used a double silver wind on the ice, breaking it into little pieces that shined and sparkled, epically the ones that had powder or stars in them. Drew and I had already stood up and were waiting the judges call.
Nurse Joy was bawling her eyes out, but she managed to sob, "So cute, unique, and beautiful! 10!"
Mr. Contesta was grinning, "Truly amazing! Amazing appeal and suprising question! 10!"
Mr. Sukizo was last, "Remarkable partnership and remarkable appeal! And a remarkable 10!" he said. i jumped up and down and hugged Drew. We went backstage.
That was one of my favorite contests for 2 reasons, Drew asked me to marry him and we won the ribbon cup." I told my kids.
"I'm still have an interest in you." Drew whispered in my ear. I smiled and kissed him.
