"Stalker!" Chapter 3
Ok. Here's chapter 3 of May's/my adventure to an after contest dance with you-know-who! (if you're a Contestshipper, you know who exactly whom I'm referring to!) ;) Ok, I hope you all enjoy! :)
The next morning, I laid in bed a few minutes trying to plan what my day would be like.
'Well, I need to go shopping to find a dress for the dance with Mama and ... ANNA! Omg! I haven't told Anna about me and Drew yet! I need to call her after I get freshened up and ready to take on the day.'
I got out of bed, stretched all my muscles out, and headed for my bathroom.
I brushed my teeth until the sparkled like diamonds.
I looked in the mirror. Those same big, bright, shining, sapphire orbs looking back at me. I smiled at myself in the mirror and searched myself over.
My hair was a mess! I held each dog ear up to examine. When I looked, there was a giant tangle in each one.
'What a wonderful way to start my day.' I thought sarcastically.
I grabbed my Beautifly shaped hairbrush and started, painfully ripping through my chocolate brown locks.
'Only God knows why I have the most tangles ever when I wake up in the mornings...'
After a few minutes of torture, I finally had my hair brushed into a decent fashion. I exited the bathroom and headed into the living room to see everyone.
"Good morning." I said, smiling as I entered the rather large room.
"Good morning, sweetie." My Mama and Daddy both said in sync, as almost rehearsed.
"Good morning, Sis." Brody said, jumping off his seat on the couch and rushing over to me.
'Man, I wish I had half the energy he has! The only time I get that pumped is when I'm in a contest!'
I leaned down and gave him a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. He received the hug and embraced back, leaving a sloppy smooch on my cheek, too.
When I turned around, I wiped a little of the excess slobber off my cheek. I didn't wanna hurt his feelings by him seeing me rub of some of his kiss.
I then walked over to my mother and father sitting side by side on the couch where Brody had came from. I leaned down to hug Mama and give her a light kiss. She returned the gestures, but squeezed me a little harder than usual.
I then made my way to Daddy. I leaned down and did the same thing. He also returned the actions.
I stepped away and went over to sit on the loveseat. I sat with my knees to my chin and looked at what they were watching. They were watching what they usually watch every morning, the "Discovery Investigation Channel".
They love getting the scoop on crime scenes and all that stuff. I think they should have been Crime Scene Investigators.
"Mama, can we go shopping for me a dress today? And can Anna come?" I asked, excitedly.
"Sure, and let me text Nicki to see if she can. Or if you want, you can text Anna." She replied.
"Will you text Nicki, please? I really just need to call Anna. I gotta tell her some stuff." I said smiling.
"Oh, okay." Mama said smiling.
"Well, I'm fixing to go jump in the shower, do ya'll need anything before I go and get in?" I asked.
"Nope, just you." Brody said grinning. Brody's heard us say that before to each other and I guess he finally picked in up.
"Ya'll will always have me." I said, giving them a thumbs up.
I trudged to my closet and picked out my clothes for today.
An indigo blue T-shirt with a Wartortle sitting on it's tail was on the front.
I also picked out a pair of black shorts that hit my knee caps.
I now scanned over my bandana collection for a matching color.
I found an indigo colored one just like my shirt.
Perfect!
I grabbed my Sapphire iPod Nano and my speaker.
I gathered up everything and carried it all to the bathroom. I laid it all out on the counter.
I inserted my iPod into the speaker and found my new playlist I had just made. It had about 90 songs in it. I started the playlist; I didn't want to shuffle it because the first song is my second favorite song.
Lady Marmalade by Christina Aguilera, P!nk, Lil' Kim, and Mya.
After I had everything situated, I jumped in the shower.
About 30 minutes later, I got out and got ready.
I looked in the mirror again. My outfit looked perfect. My hair even looked half decent. I grabbed my fanny pack, which was white, and headed out my bedroom door.
I walked back into the living room, waved at everyone, and headed to the kitchen to look for some food.
I finally decided on a bowl of vanilla yogurt with granola sprinked over the top, and a glass of orange juice.
After I finished eating, I walked in the living room and told everybody I was going to go walk around outside while I called Anna.
They all okayed it, and I headed out.
As soon as I got a little distance between the house and me, I dialed up her number.
I waited on her to pick up the line. While I waited, the music she has set to play is no other than my favorite song.
Evacuate the Dancefloor by Cascada.
I really think she chose that song because she knows it's my favorite and I like to call her whenever I can. It always makes me smile. :)
As soon as the music stopped I heard her speak.
"Hola!" Anna greeted.
"Hey, Buddy!" I greeted back.
"What's up?" She questioned.
"I just wanted to call you and tell you a few things. And ask you something. Even though I already know the answer." I said, smirking.
"What's the question?" She asked excitedly.
"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to go shopping with Mama and me?" I asked.
"OF COURSE! I LOVE SHOPPING!" She practically screamed in my ear.
"Why do you think I asked you? I know you're a Shopaholic! Just kidding, just kidding!" I said, chuckling.
"It's okay. Well, first I need to ask for permission. But I'm pretty sure they'll let me go. By the way, what's the occasion for this shopping trip?" Anna asked.
"Well, that's something else I need to tell you..." I started.
"Oh no, what's wrong, May?" She asked, worriedly.
"Oh, nothing's wrong! Actually, everything seems about perfect." I said, thinking about some of the past events.
"Ooh! Tell me! Tell me! Don't keep me waiting! I wanna know!" She exclaimed, ecstatic.
"Well, you know my arrogant rival, Drew?" I asked.
"You mean the dude with green eyes, emerald hair, cute, handsome, and you have a crush on him?" She said.
"Umm... yeah. Well, now, he's taking me to the after-contest dance tomorrow... as his date..." I mumbled.
"REALLY? OMG! MAY! I'm so happy for you! Are you going to be in the contest tomorrow? Cause I am! And I'm not going to lose to you! I know we've been best friends for a long time, but I'm not going to go easy on you!" She said, pumped.
"Yes, I'm going to compete! I want you to give me everything ya got! You know that! I'm always up for a challenge! And I won't go easy on you either! Also, are you going to the dance, too?" I said.
"Well, yeah! I'm going with Ben. You know, the Pokemon Ranger?" She added.
"Oh yeah! I remember him! He's sweet. And you always stare at him whenever we see him in town or at an event." I said, smiling.
"I'm happy for you, Sis. I hope everything goes great for ya'll. So, how'd your parents respond when you told them?" I asked.
"First of all, thank you, and I'm happy for you, too. And I hope everything goes good for you and grassy-boy. Well, for my parents' responses, Mom was ecstatic, we had to talk, and Dad wanted to know everything. Pretty much the same as Mom. So, what about
you? Did your Dad flip out? Your Mom question you out the yin-yang? Did Brody okay it, same as when you come to my house? Am I too nosey?" She asked, endlessly.
"Thank you, no you're not too nosey, you're perfect the way you are, Mama- yes, Daddy- kinda, not really, Brody- he's cool with it, and, are you okay with it?" I replied.
"What does it matter if I'm okay with it? It's your family you should be worried about!" She testified.
"Well, Anna, you're like family! I claim you as my sister! I always wanted a sister anyway. And now, I have a brother and a sister! If you're not okay with it, I guess Drew's not the guy for me. They'll be others I guess." I said, really hoping Anna would approve.
"Thank you. I think of you like my sister, too. Even though sometimes you get on my last freaking nerve!" She almost exploded.
"Hey, what are sisters for?" I said, sarcastically. "So, do you approve, Buddy?" I asked, anxiously.
"What would you do if I said no?" She asked.
"Well, I would come over to your house, tackle you then sit on you, not let you come shopping with us, and I'd give you a hug." I stated.
"A hug?" She asked, confused.
"Yep. Cause I need a hug. And best friends give some of the best hugs." I said, smiling on my end of the phone.
"Aww. Well, luckily for me, I approve. To tell you the truth, I don't think there's another guy out there for you besides Drew. I mean, you're usually peppy and happy, and he acts like a knot on a log and all arrogant and self centered. And you've heard it before. Opposites attract." Anna said, and it was from the heart.
"Thank you, Anna. You're the best." I said, so happy I could have cried.
"Also, do you approve of Ben?" She asked me.
"What if I said no?" I questioned her.
"I'd not give you a hug, and I wouldn't go shopping with you. Is that enough?"
"Plenty. You had me convinced at the 'no hug' part." I said smiling.
"Thanks, May. You're the best, too." She said, I could feel her smile through the phone line.
"So, you want me to let you go so you can ask for permission?"
"Nah. I'll ask now." She responded.
"MOM! DAD! CAN I GO WITH MAY AND CHRISTY TO GO SHOPPING?" She screamed. This was the day I went deaf.
"YOU CAN GO! ARE YOU SPENDING THE NIGHT?" I heard her mom, Nicki, ask her.
"I DON'T KNOW! HOLD ON A MINUTE!" Anna hollered back.
"Hey, May, was I going to spend the night?" She now asked in her regular, inside voice tone.
"Well, that's what I figured from the get-go. It's your choice." I said.
"MOM! I'M SPENDING THE NIGHT WITH MAY! OKAY?" Anna screamed, once again, in my right ear.
"OKAY, ANNA! GET YOUR STUFF PACKED! AND GET READY!" Her dad, Jeff, responded back.
"ALRIGHT!" Anna yelled.
"I can come." Anna said to me.
...
"May? Are you still there?" She asked me.
"Huh? Oh! Yeah. I'm here. Sorry. I couldn't hear you. Cause I am now, officially, deaf!" I said, rather loudly.
"Sorry, but I got my answer. I can go with ya. Was ya'll going to come get me, or..." She trailed off.
"We'll come get ya. Just text me when you're ready, okay?" I told her.
"You got it. I'll let you go, I gotta get all of my crap together." She said, I could hear stuff being thrown around.
'Same ol' Anna.' I thought.
"Okay then. Make sure you got some moo-lah! We gotta go shopping! I gotta get a dress for the dance." I said.
"Okay. I gotta get one, too. Well, I'm going to let you go." Anna said.
"Alright, Buddy. See you later I guess, love you, and thank you." I said.
"Alright. See ya, love you, too, and you're welcome. Thank you, too." She said.
"Anytime, Sis, anytime." I said.
"Okay, bye." Anna said.
"Bye!" I exclaimed, excitedly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I got back to the house, Mama was getting ready, so I went to my room.
I got out my notepad and drew Drew and me as stick people.
Drew was in green ink, and I was in blue ink.
Just for the heck of it, I drew my whole family as stick people.
Mama, Daddy, Brody, Mimmay (my grandmother), Anna, Nicki, and Jeff.
I didn't draw all of our Pokemon, because that would take FOREVER. We have a TON of Pokemon!
Now that I think about it, I have ALOT of family members! Some blood, some not.
"Friends are the family that we choose."
After about 10 more minutes of waiting on Mama, she came out of the bathroom in a Tommy Girl long sleeve T-shirt, a pair of jeans, and her hair straightened out to her shoulders.
I walked over to her and told her Anna would text when she was ready to be picked up.
About that time, my phone beeped. I checked it, and sure enough, it was Anna saying she was ready.
"You ready, Mama?" I asked her.
"Let's go!" She said happily.
"Bye Daddy! Bye Brody! Love ya'll! See ya'll later!" I yelled as I jogged out the door to the car.
"Bye Dewayne. Bye Brody. We love ya'll. See ya'll later. If ya'll need anything, call me." My Mama said.
"Ok, bye, love ya'll." Brody and Daddy both said.
"Ready Mama?" I asked as we sat down in the car.
"Let's go pick up Anna, then hit the mall." Mama said.
"Alright!" I said.
After about 5 minutes of driving, we pulled up in Anna's driveway.
I got out of the car and walked to her door. I rung the doorbell and waited.
After a few seconds, Anna opened the door.
"Hey, May! You ready to have fun?" Anna asked me.
"You bet, Buddy! You need any help with carrying your stuff?" I asked.
"No thanks, I got it. Just give me a minute." Anna said.
"Ok." I said as I waited at the door.
A minute later, Anna came out lugging her purse and her sleepover bag.
"Are you sure you don't need any help?" I offered.
"Positive." She said smiling.
I walked with Anna to my Mama's car.
"Hey, Mama, can you pop the trunk?" I asked.
"Sure." She replied.
THUMP.
I lifted the trunk open and Anna threw her sleep over bag in the back.
We hopped in the back seats of the car and set off.
"Hello, Anna. How have you been?" My Mama asked.
"Great. How about you?" Anna said.
"Just fine. Ya'll ready to go shopping?" Mama asked.
"Yeah!" We both said, loudly.
On the way to the mall, we chatted about random things and various topics.
When we pulled up to the mall, we got out an headed to the dress store.
We tried on different colored ones.
In the end, I decided on a Sapphire blue dress. No frills, just a silk feel to the touch. It came down to my mid calf muscle.
Anna decided on a pink dress, identical to mine. They only differed in color.
After that, we went out to eat at the Olive Garden. It's our favorite restaurant.
After we all sat down, ate, and talked a little while, we all headed home.
When we arrived home, Anna and I headed to my room to play and talk.
We sat on my bed and planned what pokemon we were going to use in the contest the next day.
After we planned, we started conversing about the dance.
"So, May, are you going to meet Drew there, or what?" Anna asked me.
"Yeah, he asked me to meet him at precisely six o'clock. In front of the gym where the dance is being held." I said.
"Same with Ben and me. He wants me to meet him at six, too. Do you think I could ride with ya'll to the contest and then the dance?" Anna asked.
"Sure! They won't care. We can help each other get ready." I said cheerfully.
"Alright!" Anna shrieked.
"I think we need to hit the sack soon, okay?" I asked her.
"Yeah, we are going to need the energy tomorrow." Anna said.
"Alright then, let's go get changed and snooze!" I said.
"You got it!" Anna agreed.
"I'll go to the other bathroom where you can change in my bathroom, okay?" I asked.
"That's fine, thanks!" Anna said.
"You're welcome. I'll see you in a minute." I said, picking up my night clothes and heading out my bedroom door.
I walked into the family bathroom and changed into my Blaziken shorts and my Torchic shirt.
As I walked through the livingroom, I gave everyone a good night hug and a kiss. Told them all good night, and walked to my room.
Anna was still in the bathroom, so I sat on my bed and got out my notepad to draw.
I started doodling the word 'ContestShipping' on my paper and drawing hearts and lightning bolts around it.
I got lost in my train of thought, and the next thing I knew, Anna was standing behind me, in her Empoleon shorts that said, "Empress" on them and her Piplup T-shirt. She was peeking over my shoulder at my paper.
"AHH!" I screamed.
"Sorry! I didn't mean to scare you. I was just watching you." She said smiling.
"Oh. I was just drawing..." I said.
"Yeah, you and Drew's couple name!" She said laughing.
"Well... I like it." I said smiling.
"Let's get some rest." She said, crawling into her side of the bed.
"Okay. Good night, Anna. Love you." I said.
"Good night, May. Love you, too." She said as she put her glasses on the headboard.
I went to sleep thinking about the contest and the dance.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning, we all woke up and got ready to go to the contest. We all sat down and ate breakfast, then we all loaded up in the car with our pokemon in our pokeballs, and headed to the Contest Hall.
When we got there, Anna and I went to the back rooms to wait until the contest starts. Mama, Daddy, and Brody went to the stands to watch. After a few minutes, Nicki and Jeff showed up, too. We could see all of them in the audience from backstage.
Across the room where all the contestants wait for the contest to start, I saw Drew waiting to be called.
"Hey Anna, I'll be back in a minute, okay? I wanna go talk to Drew." I said smiling.
"Okay, I'll be waiting on you. By the way, I saw Ben in the audience! He came to watch me preform!" Anna said ecstatically.
"You got one in him, Anna. I really think you do." I said, happy for Anna. And for Ben, he's lucky he has Anna. She's a sweetheart.
"Thanks May. I really think so, too." She said smiling.
"Come here, Anna." I said.
"Why?" She questioned.
"I still need that hug." I said as I walked up to her.
"Fine..." She huffed as she hugged me.
"Thanks Buddy." I said.
"You know what?" Anna said as she released me.
"No, what?" I said, clueless.
"Best Friends really do give some of the best hugs." Anna said smiling.
"Told ya!" I said, walking over to Drew.
As I approached Drew, he looked over at me and smiled.
"Hey, Drew. Are you all set for the contest?" I asked.
"Yeah. And just cause I'm taking you to the dance, don't think I'll go easy on you in the contest." Drew said, flipping his hair.
"I wouldn't want you to, Drew." I said, stroking his hair in the back.
"Uhh... Good luck in the contest, M-M-May..." Drew stuttered while blushing lightly.
"Good luck to you, too, Drew. See ya later in the contest." I said waving bye to him and walking back over to Anna.
He waved a hand up to say bye. He still had the faintest trace of a blush on his cheeks.
When I got over to Anna I told her, "Drew's mine. And he knows it." I finished with it with a smirk.
