Not my best but it's okay.

R is for Ribbon

May had gone on a shopping spree with all the girls that had made it into the second round of the contest.

It was a sort of congratulations for them for passing the first round, because everyone had been so nervous about it.

They were in the Boondock region and the contests in Boondocks were famous for weeding out the weak and crowning only the best of the best Coordinators.

They had all returned with a different costume for the contest.

When the girls came back, Drew looked around for May.

He was already wearing his costume, a black tuxedo with a single rose in his suit coat pocket.

He searched until someone tapped him on the shoulder.

Drew turned to see May beaming at him.

She was wearing a medieval looking outfit. Her dress was a pale purple that looked really good on her.

The top was fitted perfectly and then her long skirt billowed around her. It fell all the way down and her shoes were light purple ballet shoes.

She had let her long brown hair down and wore a garland of light purple flowers and leaves that had purple ribbons that matched her outfit falling down.

She gave a twirl and asked, "What do you think?"

Drew smirked and said, "Well don't you look like a princess?"

May smiled, "Really?"

Drew bowed down mockingly and then looked up at her through his green hair that had fallen into his eyes, "My princess."

She blushed and pulled him up, "Get up, don't be weird."

Drew chuckled and straightened up and flicked his hair out of his eyes.

He reached for her and grabbed one of her ribbons. He brought it closer to his lips and then inhaled, "You look nice."

She flushed, "Uh, thank you Drew."

He let the ribbon drop and then walked toward the locker rooms. May ran to catch up with him.

They walked to the coordinator's locker rooms in silence and before they went in, Drew stopped her.

He pulled the rose out of his front pocket, "This is for you."

May laughed, "Of course, the one thing I can always expect from you Drew. That and your oh so helpful criticism."

He took the rose and tucked it into her garland, making it the odd one of all the flowers.

May touched the flower softly and then Drew suddenly pulled a green ribbon out of his pocket.

Drew instructed her to turn around and let him face her back and she did as he said.

He tied the green ribbon in with the purple ribbons and then leaned forward over her shoulder to whisper into her ear gently.

"A ribbon for good luck to you May." Drew said.

She stood there clutching her arm as Drew walked into the coordinator locker room.

She touched the rose once again before walking in only to be called out to battle a few minutes after.

The rest of the day, neither Drew nor May spoke to each other.

Finally the contest ended with May as the winner.

Drew had lost to a coordinator before the coordinator battled May.

During the party after, May had changed back into her travelling attire which consisted of a purple dress with black leggings, purple fanny pack, and black and purple running shoes.

In her hands was the purple garland she had wore for the contest.

Drew's presents were still attached, the red rose and the green ribbon.

After Drew had told her for that the gifts were for good luck, she had tried her best.

"What are you doing out here? Not enjoying the party and pigging out?" A familiar voice asked.

Drew was leaning on the doorway frame that led outside to the balcony overlooking the city.

She smiled and hid the garland behind her, "It's nothing, I'm just enjoying the view."

Drew knew too well and pulled the garland from behind her.

"May, the ribbon and rose wasn't just for good luck to you." Drew said slowly.

Then he said, "I am in love with you."

May stuttered and stared at the garland and finally sputtered, "Huh?"

Drew smirked, "Let me tell you in a way that you'll understand."

He took the garland out of her hands and placed it on her head.

He leaned down and his breath tickled her lips, "I love you."

And with that he pressed his lips to hers and she smiled against his lips and kissed him back.

They pulled away and said, "Love you too, Drew."

He tucked another rose behind her ear and said, "Until the next time, love."
