In this chapter we will have (spoliers) different outfits~ XD Almost all of the outfit designs were made by Chikorita85 on deviantArt. Special thanks to her for letting me use them! :D The links for the outfits are at the very bottom of my profile [for convenience] so you will know what they really look like since my descriptions of them will probably be inaccurate~ And then there will be those that I cannot even describe properly due to my lack of knowledge of fashion and what not and that is why I suggest you go to the links first. DX Again, they are at the very bottom of my profile.

This chapter, surprisingly, didn't take as long as I thought it would. Which goes to show that if you work hard and determinate...you will successfully succeed with success! :D So please enjoy~

The evening of the dance had finally arrived. The girls decided to meet up at Lady's mansion after school to get ready together. Crystal sat in Lady's bed, putting her shoes on.

"Did we really have to get dressed up for this?" Crystal asked. "It's not that big of a deal."

Green put her hands on her hips.

"Of course! This is a dance!" she said. "You have to look your best!"

"Besides, only Lady is really "dressy." White added, while combing her hair.

"And besides that, you look so cute!" Green gushed.

Crystal was wearing a predominately white dress that had golden ruffles at the bottom. The top of the dress had a black vest-like portion. The top of that portion, near Crystal's neck featured a large golden star. She also wore long black socks that stopped a little bit before her knees. She wore white shoes that also featured a gold star. Finally, she had on a sailor captain-style hat that had a golden ring going around the base of it.

"Yeah, Crys, it's true." White added.

"Thanks, guys." Crystal said. "You guys do, too!"

Green had on a green sleeveless mini-dress. There was a blue "belt" around her waist and a bow tied around at the back. She also wore a blue bracelet, blue sandals, and her signature white gloves.

White wore a longer dress that stopped at her knees. It was predominately black but had checkered patterns at the bottom and the top. Orange bows separated the black part from the checkered part at the bottom and an orange "belt" that went across her waist separated the black from the checkered at the top. She also wore a large orange bow holding her ponytail in place. She also had on black heels and a black and white necklace.

"You think so?" White asked, looking down at her dress. Crystal nodded.

"Kyaaa! Yellow, you look adorable!" Green suddenly cried.

Yellow appeared in the doorway. She had on a sleeveless white mini-dress that had an orange bow tied around the waist. She also had on matching orange pants that stopped at the knees, orange wedged shoes, and an orange bracelet and a chocker.

"Hee-hee, thanks Green." Yellow giggled.

"And don't forget this." Soul said, adding a Staryu shaped clip to her hair.

"Thanks Soul." Yellow said, grinning.

[Soul's outfit I cannot describe, so please visit my profile page to see what it looks like. Sorry!].

"Let go of me!" the girls heard Sapphire's voice.

"Is that Sapphire?" Crystal asked.

"What's she yellin' about now?" Green wondered, putting her hands on her hips.

"Come on! You have to come out eventually!" Mei said, pulling Sapphire's arm. Sapphire tried to pull free of Mei's grasp when the other girls went to see the commotion.

"Sapphire?" Crystal exclaimed. "In a dress?"

"Wow Sapphire! You look amazing!" Soul said.

To Sapphire, the outfit was the same one that she'd worn as a child when she played with Ruby in a larger size. It was the first time the others had seen her in the lacey blue dress that stopped right above her knees. She also now wore blue sandals to match.

"Have you always had an outfit like that?" Green asked. Sapphire rubbed the back of her head.

"You could say that." She said.

"See? You look fine." Mei grinned. "I told you there was nothing to worry about."

[And here we go again, visit my profile to see Mei's outfit.]

"I was surprised enough that Crystal and Soul actually wore the clothes I chose for them. But I never thought I'd see Sapphire without shorts." Green said, folding her arms.

"Don't get used to it!" Sapphire said.

"Are we all ready?" Lady asked, walking out of one of her walk-in closets. She was wearing a silk pink dress with a laced chiffon shawl. It was the same outfit she wore during the contest she entered in Hearthome City. However, she left her hair down instead.

"Lady you look amazing!" Soul said.

"Aww! I picked out all the outfits and Lady's outdoes them all!" Green whined. White chuckled.

"Well, it is Lady." She said.

"Thank you for the compliment. You all look very nice, as well." Lady said. "Shall we get going?"

"Wait for me! Wait for me!" they heard Bianca yelling as she ran into the room.

"Now we're ready." White said.

Bianca wore a green beret with a white bow on the side. She also wore a white shirt with a black shirt underneath and an orange jacket. She also had on green pants that reached her knees and orange shoes with black bows on them.

"Hey! She's got pants on!" Sapphire growled, pointing at Bianca. "No fair!"

"But, Sapphire, you chose your outfit." Mei said.

"Because I had to!" she complained.

"And why did you have to?" Crystal asked. Sapphire blushed.

"Uh…no reason." She said. "Let's just get goin'!" she said and ran out if the room.

"Wait for us!" Soul said. The other girls followed them downstairs.

Diamond and Pearl were downstairs waiting for them.

"Hey guys. You all look great." Diamond said, grinning. Pearl, like Lady, wore the same white tuxedo he wore at the Hearthome City contest. Diamond, however, instead of wearing the suit he wore at the contest, wore a tuxedo like Pearl. He also had his regular hat on.

"Diamond, Pearl, you two look so handsome." White said.

"Thanks, White. It's been a while since I wore this." Pearl said. The other girls came down the stairs.

"Come along everyone. To the carriage." Lady said. The others looked confused.

"Huh, carriage?" Crystal said.

"You know the school's just a five minute walk away, right?" Pearl asked.

"Well you don't expect us to walk to a formal occasion?" Lady said.

"Well, actually…" Pearl mumbled.

"Absolutely not!" Lady said. "Father explicitly stated that we shall go by carriage. Now come along, they are waiting." She said. The others looked at each other and followed.

Outside, Lady's Rapidash and four others were properly tied to a carriage, which was large enough to hold all of them.

"Woah! This is so cool!" Soul said.

"I've never been in one of those before!" Yellow added.

One of the Bertiltz family's butlers opened the side down of the carriage and motioned for them to get in.

"Thank you." Lady said, and she and the others bowed before getting in. The butlers went around and made sure everything was secure.

Sebastian sat and picked up the reigns and turned to Lady.

"Your Father has already arrived and is in the gym with the rest of your friends." He said, then turned to face everyone else. "Is everyone ready?"

"YEAH!" they shouted.

"Yes, Sebastian." Lady said.

"Very well." He nodded. "We shall be there shortly." He said. He then tugged slightly on the reigns and the Rapidash started to pull the carriage.

Meanwhile, in the school gym, the boys, excluding Diamond and Pearl, had been waiting on the rest of the Pokedex holders to arrive.

"When are those girls getting here?" Gold complained, leaning against a wall. "What's taking them?"

"Girls always take long for things like this." Black said.

"I assume they're getting dressed." Cheren added. "Still, it's quite a bother."

"Tch! It didn't take us that long to get dressed." Gold said.

Gold was wearing a long sleeved white shirt, but he'd rolled up the sleeves to his elbows. His pants were gold in color and stopped a little after his knees. His shoes were mostly white and black, but also had some gold to match the rest of his outfit.

Black also had a long sleeved white shirt rolled up to his elbows but also had a checkered vest over it and an orange necktie. His black pants went down to his white shoes. He also had on a watch and a black top hat with an orange ring around it.

"They probably wanted to dress all fancy for the dance." Black said.

"Hehe, well I'll bet they'll feel better after seeing these two." Gold smirked, pointing at Red and Cheren, next to him.

"Hey, whaddya mean by that?" Red asked.

"He means you guys are dressed so simple!" Emerald said, cockily. "It's a dance; you shoulda gone all out."

Red wore a long sleeved white shirt with a short sleeved red T-shirt over it. He had on a pair of jeans and white shoes with red and black coloring as well.

Cheren had on a long sleeved white shirt, a red necktie, and jeans.

"I thought I looked okay…" Red said.

"Even prissy boy got simplistic today. What's with that?" Gold smirked.

Ruby had on a white shirt and a predominately red and black jacket that was yellow at the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. His pants were black aside from a small yellow portion at the bottom. His shoes shared the red, black, and yellow color scheme. His regular hat covered his hair.

"And you think you look better?" Ruby said. Gold shrugged.

"Who me?" he said. "I was just excepting you to out-do all of us." He smirked.

Suddenly, they heard a beeping sound. It was Silver's Poke Gear.

"It's Green." He said. "It says…" he said, but then stopped.

"Yeah…?" Red said.

"It says-" Silver started again, but Emerald took the Poke Gear and read the message himself.

"It says, 'We're here. Come to the door to meet Soul.'" He said. "Aww! Isn't that sweet? Silver has to go walk his date in." he teased.

Silver's face reddened and he snatched the Poke Gear from Emerald.

"She wants all of us to go." He said.

"What?" Gold complained. "We've been waiting all this time and now we need to go get them?"

"Just shut up and come on!" Silver snapped. Gold groaned and followed the others.

They walked to the front of the school and saw the girls standing there.

"Hi guys!" Bianca called, when she noticed them. The other girls went over to their respective dates.

Upon seeing Gold, Crystal looked shocked.

"Huh? Gold, your outfit…it's-" she said.

"Wow, Crys, you actually look pretty good in a dress. Almost as much as myself." He said, grinned.

"Why you-" she fumed, red-faced. Green appeared next to the two.

"Surprise! Isn't it cool, guys? Matching outfits!" she said, happily. Crystal still appeared shocked, but Gold didn't.

"What, you mean, you chose the guys' outfits, too?" White asked. Green nodded.

"Yeah, see?" she said, pulling her over to Black. "Isn't it just adorable?" Both Black and White blushed upon seeing the other.

"Hey White." Black said, nervously.

"Um, hi Black." She replied, equally nervous.

"You look…really beautiful tonight." He said, rubbing the back of his neck.

"S-So do you." She mumbled, before frantically waving her hands. "Uh-I mean, handsome! You look handsome!"

"It's okay, I know what you mean. Thanks." He said. The two laughed nervously.

"You two've gotta stop having these awkward moments." Green said, with her hands on her hips.

"Green!" White complained.

"Ok, ok. I'm going." She said. "Enjoy your date!" she sang, embarrassing them once more.

"Silver!" Soul said, approaching Silver. "I'm so happy you decided to wear something special for the dance."

Silver was wearing a gray shirt and a primarily red jacket, aside from the red sleeves. He was also wearing jeans and shoes that matched the coloration of his jacket.

"Is it really that special?" he asked, sweat dropping slightly. Soul nodded.

"I think so. Since you didn't even want to come originally, the fact that you wore something new is really great." She said, grinning.

"Well…thank you." He said. "You look very nice, too." He said.

"Thanks, Silver!" Soul said. Silver sweat dropped slightly, unsure of what to say or do next.

Green moved over to Silver and Soul.

"Come on, Silver, don't be so shy!" she said, taking his hand and Soul's. "Loosen up a bit!"

She put Soul's hand in Silver's. They looked at their hands, then at each other, blushing slightly. Soul grinned and Silver turned away.

"Let's just go inside, already." He said, pulling her along.

"That went well." Green snickered. "Moving along…" she said and stood a few feet away from Red and Yellow.

"You look really nice, Yellow." Red said.

"Thanks Red. So do you." Yellow replied, blushing.

"Well, Red and Yellow don't really match, but, it's cute nonetheless." Green said.

"Hey Green," Red said. Green turned around.

"Yeah?" she said.

"So…where's your date?" he asked.

"Oh…um…well…." She started, then shook her head. "Geez, Red, shouldn't you be worrying about your own date?" she asked.

"Well, uh…" he stuttered.

"Thanks for the concern, but focus on her!" she said, pointing at Yellow. She then grabbed their arms, made them hold hands and pushed them towards the door.

"But-" Red said.

"Go on now!" she said, pushing Red and Yellow through the door. She was about to follow them when Lady's voice stopped her.

"Mm, Green?" Lady said, causing Green to turn around.

"Hm, what is it?" she asked.

"You outfit, it seems rather simple compared to the ones you picked out for the others." She observed.

"Really? Hee-hee! I guess I spent so much time on them, I didn't have too much time to get something extravagant for myself." She chuckled.

"Well, we can't have that, can we?" she said, taking off one of her rings and handed it to Green. Green looked shocked.

"Huh? You want me to wear your ring?" she asked. Lady nodded.

"It is no problem. Just make sure to return it to me before the end of the dance." She said.

"Thanks a lot, Lady." Green grinned and put the ring on. "Well, we'd better get going." She said, and they followed everyone else inside. They walked through the building until they reached the gym.

Unknown to the other girls, excluding Lady, the gym wasn't decorated like any normal dance. Aside from the colorful balloons and streamers, extremely long food tables, and music, there were also many other things, such as Game Corner games and even a wide screen TV.

"Wow, everything looks so cool! Doesn't it Cheren?" Bianca asked.

"Well yes, but I've already seen everything." He said.

"Oh right! I'm sorry we were so late!" Bianca said.

"Don't worry about it this time." Cheren replied, smiling. Bianca grinned.

"Ooh, Cheren, let's go play that game!" she said, pulling his arm.

"Bianca, wait! Slow down!" he said.

While most of the other guys had gone outside to meet their dates, Ruby, Emerald, and Wally had stayed inside and were eating cake at the snack table.

"This is so good!" Emerald said. "Are there really berries in here, Iris?"

Iris, who was working behind the snack table with her Fraxure, responded: "Yup! The one you're eating is made of Mago berries."

"Well it's delicious." Emerald said. At that moment the other Pokedex holders started to fill the room.

"Hey look, guys, everyone else is here!" Wally pointed out.

"Finally, it was getting so boring. Come on guys." Emerald said. Wally followed him, but Ruby stayed by the food table.

Ruby glanced over at the arriving guests. After a while, he saw Sapphire, who'd come in after everyone else. He almost dropped his food.

"She's…wearing a dress…" He thought. "She looks absolutely beautiful…"

It suddenly occurred to Ruby that there was something about that dress that he recognized.

"…That dress…why do I feel like I've seen it before…?" he said to himself. Then it clicked.

"I…remember! She wore a dress like that when we played together that time when we were kids!" he said. He then found himself getting angry.

"If I ever told her to wear a dress, she wouldn't hear another word of it." He said. "But here…for this occasion…she wore that dress for…" he stopped, not wanting to finish the sentence. He wasn't even paying attention when Sapphire approached him.

"Hey Ruby!" Sapphire greeted. Ruby snapped out of his thoughts.

"Oh, hey Sapphire." He said, trying to act naturally. "You're…finally here."

"Yeah…when did ya get here?" she asked.

"Oh, not too long ago." He said. There was a short silence.

"What's with him? Hasn't he noticed?" Sapphire thought.

"Those girls…they've got me wearin' this dress." She said. She knew it wasn't true, but she couldn't tell him the truth just yet.

"I noticed." He said, plainly.

"So…what do you think of it?" she asked. Ruby shrugged.

"It looks nice on you." He said. "It matches your eyes." Sapphire was actually happy about the compliment, but didn't show it.

"…That's it? That's all ya think about it?" she asked, a little loudly from irritation.

"What else do you want me to think of it?" Ruby asked. Sapphire shook her head so Ruby wouldn't notice the tears beginning to form in her eyes.

"Nothing! Just forget it!" she said and walked away. Ruby looked shocked.

"What was that about? And how come she was asking me?" he wondered.

Sapphire passed up Diamond and Pearl, who were looking at something on the TV, as she headed towards the door.

"Hey, Sapphire, are you okay?" Diamond asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She said as she stomped out of the gym. Diamond and Pearl looked at each other.

"What was that all about?" Pearl asked.

"I don't know." Diamond said. He looked across the gym to see Ruby playing with his food.

"Hey, Pearl, I'll be right back." Diamond said. Pearl nodded. Diamond followed Sapphire out of the gym.

"Pearl!" Lady suddenly said. Pearl jumped in shock.

"Yes, Lady?" he asked. She pointed to the food table.

"Come on. We shall begin the evening with refreshments." She said. Pearl scratched his head.

"Um…sure." He said. The two walked over to the food table, where Gold and Crystal were.

Gold had grabbed multiple pieces of cake and was eating from several of them at once.

"Gold, mind your manners!" Crystal scolded.

"Yeah, yeah, just hand me that one over there." Gold said, pointing to another piece of cake.

"Can't you finish the ones you're eating first?" Crystal asked, folding her arms.

"Just get me that last one! Then I'll finish the others! I promise!" he said. Crystal rolled her eyes and reached for the piece of cake that he pointed to.

"Are you sure this is the one you really want?" Crystal asked. Gold nodded.

"Ok then." She said, smirking slightly. She then took the piece of cake and shoved it into Gold's face.

Most of the people around them froze and others, like Crystal, broke out into laughter.

"Didn't see that coming…" Red said, through laughter.

"My goodness!" Lady said, shocked.

"Way to go Crystal!" Emerald cheered, laughing.

"Should you really be encouraging this?" Wally chuckled, sweat dropping.

"He should be careful. Those stains could ruin that shirt if he isn't!" Ruby said.

"Well, I guess she's not always so serious after all." Green laughed.

Gold, who seemed to be in a trace after what had just happened, finally snapped back into reality.

"Hey, what was that for, Crys?" Gold asked.

"For making me trip the other day. Yellow told me what you did. And then dropping me outside!" she said.

"You said you didn't get hurt or anything." He said, wiping the cake off of his face.

"But still it was embarrassing!" she said. "Not to mention it was because of money!"

"Oh, is that it, Crys?" Gold asked. "You thought that the money was more important than you?"

Crystal looked surprised. Was Gold actually being considerate?

"Well…no…it's not so much that…" she said, pressing her fingers together.

"I'm sorry, Crys." He said. "Don't worry, I'll make it up to you." He smirked took a step closer to her, causing her to take a step backwards.

"H-How are you going to-" she asked, but was cut off by Gold putting his frosting-covered hands on her cheeks and kissing her.

Crystal's eyes widened and she froze. She stayed that way even when Gold pulled away from her a few seconds later.

The other Pokedex holders that we still crowded around her were as shocked as her.

"Woah, I really didn't see that coming." Red said, somewhat towards Yellow causing her to blush. She didn't know if it was for Crystal's sake or just for that fact that Red commented about it.

"M-Me either." was all she managed to say.

"Aww that was so sweet!" Bianca said. "Way to go, Gold!" she exclaimed, before Cheren pulled her away.

"Come on, let's go play one of those games they have." He said, causing Bianca to whine.

"Do you think she'll be okay?" Soul asking Silver, giggling. Silver started at the still frozen Crystal and Gold, waving his hand in front of Crystal's face, grinning like an idiot.

"The question is…will he be okay when she snaps out of it." He said.

"She's got frosting on her face now." Black pointed out. White rolled her eyes.

"Boys." She sighed.

Suddenly, Sebastian approached Lady and whispered something into her ear. Lady nodded and Sebastian walked away.

"What was that about?" Pearl asked, as he chewed on some dango.

"They are about to have the first slow dance." Lady said, standing up.

"So?" Pearl asked. "What's so important about that?"

"It means we must dance." She said, extending her hand. "I believe it is appropriate that the man leads the woman, is it not?" she said.

"What? We barely even ate anything yet! Plus, we don't have to dance the very first slow song, do we?" Pearl asked.

"Of course." Lady said. "I read it in a book about hosting parties, dances, and things of that nature."

"Ya know, Lady, you don't have to do everything exactly as you've read them." Pearl said.

"Of course I do. Father gave me that book so that I would know how school dances worked; so we must follow what the book says." She said.

"Ok, ok, fine." Pearl said, taking Lady's hand. "We'll dance."

Sebastian made the announcement on the microphone to the students and started to play the slow music.

Red looked over at Yellow.

"Do you wanna dance, Yellow?" Red asked.

"Well…I never have before…" she said.

"Don't worry, neither have I." Red chuckled and walked her to the center of the gym.

Soul looked at Silver with large eyes. Silver sighed and took her hand.

"Come on." He said.

"Eeee!" she cheered and walked with him to the gym floor.

"So White...you...um...want to..." Black stuttered. White giggled at his nervousness.

"Yes, Black." she said, and pulled on his arm.

"Come on, Crys, say something." Emerald said, shaking Crystal slightly. Crystal, though now sitting and just staring forward, hadn't said anything since Gold kissed her in front of everyone. Gold was still eating his cakes.

"Don't worry about her." he said, cockily. "It happens to all the girls who get to experience Gold of New Bark Town."

"How many would that be?" Emerald said, looking suspiciously.

"Yes, tell us." Emerald added, with the same expression. Gold cringed.

"Uh...well..." he stuttered, then turned around and picked up two pieces of cake. "Say, how bout this cake, huh?" Emerald and Wally fell to the floor.

Ruby still sat by them quietly, just watching and listening to their antics. Every so often he would force himself to look across the gym, but didn't see Diamond or Sapphire.

"I wonder where they are..." he thought.

Green stood by the wall on the left side of the gym. She smiled, watching everyone dancing for a while. Then, she walked over to a door the side of the gym which led to a balcony outside.

Outside on the balcony, seated in a chair in the corner was Blue. He'd been there for most of the dance. His Pokemon were on the ground below him battling each other. He thought that he could at least do some producive training if he had to be stuck at the dance.

When he heard someone open the sliding door, he knew it was Green.

"So you're back?" he said, glancing at her. Green nodded.

"The first slow song is playing." she said. "Most of them don't know their left feet from their right, but I'm sure they'll get the hang of it." Green shrugged.

"Good for them." Blue said plainly. Green walked over to Blue and looked at the sky. They were silent for a few seconds.

"You know, you really should go in there." Green finally said.

"I think I'll pass." Blue said. Green pouted.

"Come on. Have fun, just for once." she said. Blue didn't respond. Green looked back through the transparent doors.

"Everything looks awesome and they're all having so much fun." she said. "So I'd say, it's totally a success!" Blue looked up at her,

"So, you're finally finished this little 'mission' of yours?" Blue asked. Green nodded.

"Yup! Looks like I did a good job if I do say so myself!" Green laughed, earning a "noisy woman" comment from Blue. She then opened a Poke Ball. Jiggly appeared next to her.

"Come on, Jiggly. It's time to go home." She said. Jiggly nodded and started to inflate herself.

Blue thought he was hearing things.

"What did you say?" he asked. "Did you just say you were going home?"

"That's what I said." Green replied.

"You're actually going to leave?" Blue asked.

"I've probably messed with them enough. I'll let them enjoy their night together." She said, climbing onto the balcony rail while holding onto Jiggly's leg.

"Has anyone ever told you how strange you are?" Blue asked, standing up. "You've done all of this and now you're just gonna leave?" Green giggled.

"Don't worry about me. I did exactly what I wanted to, and I'm happy with that!" she said, grinning. Blue could tell she wasn't truely happy.

"Ready, Jiggly?" Green asked. The balloon Pokemon nodded and then lifted Green off of the balcony rail.

"G'night Blue!" Green called, waving at him. "And go enjoy the dance! You're still apart of the group, so if you don't, you'll get a penatly!"

Blue help up his hand as a "wave". Green grinned, then turned back around.

Blue just stood by the balcony, watching Green and Jiggly float off into the dark night sky.

TOTALLY KIDDING! XD (No one fell for that, dummy! They read the title of the chapter DX Or maybe the didn't, they dont care T~T)

So I just realized that for them to have been on a balcony, the gym would have to be on, at least, the second floor…..I am an IDIOT! (So, yes, apparently, the gym is on the second floor…) I may edit this later to have it make more sense, but for now, just ignore my lack of developmental skills.

Another thanks to Chikorita85 who let me use her beautiful designs in this chapter because she is an angel sent from above whose outfits are far better than anything I could have thought up. Links for her DeviantArt and the outfits are on my profile~

Wow, if this was the last chapter, that woulda been like…the trollingest ending ever. XD

I totally killed the HaughtyShippery! DX Don't kill me! And Pearl was eating dumplings, in case you don't know what dango is. It's one of the few foods other than fruits that I've actually seen in the manga…so I picked that.

Mei, Kyouhei, and Hugh are pretty much background characters now (not that they weren't before) so you can have Mei be here with either one of them in your own minds. That's fair, right?

So review and tell me what you think of the dance or what you think's gonna happen next!
