If you thought the last chapter was trolling, then prepare to be bombarded with the most illogical chapter in this trollfest of a story~
Originally this chapter wasn't going to be this long, but due to popular demand, I made it longer, which obviously means that it's even worse. But no matter~ Also, sorry for taking so long to update.
Back at the dance, the other Pokedex holders were still amidst each other trying to dance.
"Ow!" White and Bianca cried at being bumped into each other by Black and Cheren. The girls turned to face each other.
"Sorry, White." Bianca said.
"No, it's my fault." White said, sweat dropping. They turned back to their respective dance partners.
"Watch out, Black! Can't you pay more attention?!" White exclaimed.
"Cheren, be careful! This is the third person we've bumped into!" Bianca said.
"Yeah, sorry about that." Black and Cheren said.
Elsewhere, Mei stood with her hand on her hips.
"Ok, Kyouhei, let's try this again." She said. Kyouhei put his hands on her waist and Mei put her hands on his shoulders. They took a few steps, but they weren't in sync.
"Kyouhei, you aren't moving your feet correctly." Mei said. "Remember, it's back, left, forward, right."
"Oh, ok." Kyouhei said. However, he only ended up stepping on her feet.
"Ow! This isn't working." She said, and turned around. "Hugh…" She put her hands on his shoulders, just as she had done to Kyouhei, and he put his hands on her waist, similarly.
They hadn't even taken two steps before her feet had gotten stepped on again.
"Ow!" she winced, then face-palmed.
"You okay?" Hugh asked.
"I'm fine. Let's just take another break." She said, irritated.
Pearl and Lady were actually getting the hang of dancing.
"You're doing very well, Pearl." Lady said. Pearl held Lady's hand and twirled her for a pirouette.
"You too, Lady." Pearl said.
"Is it as bad as you thought?" Lady asked.
"Not really, it's just…THIS IS SO SLOW!" he complained. Lady hushed him to stop any oncoming stares. "How long do we have to do this?"
"Until it is over, of course." Lady said.
"What?! You mean we have to dance to the entire song?" Pearl whined. Lady nodded.
"Certainly. We cannot just stop in the middle of a ballroom dance." She said.
"But…this is so boring!" Pearl said.
"Boring?! Ballroom dancing is the most important part of the dance!" Lady said. "As such, we dedicate all of our time towards it. That's what it says in my book."
"Being a date is harder than I thought." Pearl mumbled to himself, crying.
The only ones doing better than Lady and Pearl were Soul and Silver.
"Isn't this fun Silver?" Soul asked.
"Well, it isn't too bad." He replied. Soul giggled.
"Aren't you glad you came to the dance now?" she asked. He was silent for a second.
"…It isn't as boring as I thought it would be." He said.
"I told ya so!" Soul laughed, and Silver spun her in response.
Yellow and Red were trying so hard to dance properly that they were moving as if they were practicing; somewhat slow, but fast enough to seem like they know what they were doing.
"Sorry Red!" Yellow said, after stepping on his foot.
"Don't worry about it," Red chuckled. "Besides…I think that makes us even. I think we've stepped on each other's feet about ten times." Yellow blushed.
"Hehe, maybe it would be best if we try again later." She suggested. "I'm sure they'll play another song."
Red nodded. "Okay, sure. Let's go get something to eat." Yellow nodded and the two walked over to the snack table where Emerald, Wally, Ruby, Gold, and Crystal still were.
"Oh no, Crys!" Yellow said, upon seeing Crystal. Her head was on the table as if she was asleep. "Is she still…"
"She's fine. She snapped back into reality a while ago. But she won't say anything." Emerald said.
"She asked what happened and we told her." Wally explained, then pointed at Gold. "She took one look at him and put her head down."
"Poor Crys," Yellow said, walking to the other side of the table. She sat down next to Crystal. "Don't worry, Emerald. I'll try to talk to her."
"If you say so." Emerald shrugged, then muttered "girls". Red sweat dropped slightly and sat down by the other guys.
"So, what have you guys been up to?" Red asked.
"Nothing much. We've been hanging out over here for the most part." Wally said.
"The whole time?" Red asked. "You haven't even watched TV or played any of the games?"
"Well, we did for a while, but we couldn't for too long since we have to keep him company." Emerald smirked, putting his arm around Ruby, who glared at him. Red looked at Ruby.
"Ruby…you…don't have a date?" he asked. Ruby looked down.
"He wanted to ask Wild Girl, but she was already taken by the Chubby Kid." Gold said.
"You mean Diamond?!" Red exclaimed. "Are you sure?"
"Well, Ruby said Sapphire came and talked to him earlier and then she left the gym." Gold said.
"And a few minutes ago, Pearl was over here and said that Diamond followed her outside." Wally finished.
"And we haven't seen 'em since. So they have to be here together, right?" Emerald said.
Red sweat dropped uneasily. "Well, if that's what happened…" Red noticed that Ruby was still staring down in a trace like state.
"Hey, Ruby, don't be so down!" Red said. "Maybe you should try to take your mind off of it."
"You're probably right." Ruby said and stood up. "I'm gonna go take a walk. Thanks Senior." He said and walked off.
"Thanks, Red. He probably needed that." Wally said.
"Well, I can't blame him. I never expected Sapphire and Diamond to come here together. But I guess that explains why I haven't seen them that much tonight." Red said. He turned around to look at the others who were now scattered across the gym.
"Actually…I haven't seen Green since she got here. And that was outside." Red said. "I hope she isn't up to something again."
"Hm, Green?" Emerald said. "I think she's here with…Blue! Yeah, that's it." Red's eyes widened.
"Blue is Green's date?" he exclaimed. Emerald nodded.
"I think so. Remember when we all got here and Blue just went out there on the balcony?" he asked. Red nodded. "Well, earlier I saw Green go out there and I haven't seen her since then. So I assumed Green was Blue's date and thought they must be spending the dance together out there or something." He said, biting into a cookie.
"So Blue was Green's date..." Red said, resting his head on his hand.
"Red!" Yellow called from the other end of the table.
"Crys and I are going to go take a walk." She said.
"Ok." Red smiled.
"Can I come?" Gold smirked. Yellow sweat dropped slightly.
"It'd probably be best if you didn't." she said.
"Yeah, yeah, I was just kidding." Gold waved his hand. "Hurry back, Crys." Crystal cringed.
"Hehe…okay. We won't be long." Yellow laughed nervously, pulling Crystal by her arm.
"Well, since we don't have to worry about Ruby, let's go do something!" Emerald said.
"They have a game from Johto called Voltorb Flip." Wally suggested. Emerald nodded.
"Alright, we'll play that first." He said and followed Wally to the games.
Red turned back to Gold. "I thought you'd be interested in that kinda stuff." He said. Gold pulled out his pool cue.
"And you're right. I'm about to go check out the pool table." He said and stood up. He then noticed Blue entering the gym.
"Well, whaddya know, here comes Blue." Gold said. Red turned around and saw that Blue was indeed coming towards them. Gold decided to meet him halfway there.
"I thought you weren't gonna come in here once it started." Gold smirked.
"…Something told me I should…" Blue said. Gold continued to the other side of the room and Blue continued to the food table and sat across from Red.
"Hey." Blue said simply and started fixing a plate of food.
"Uh hey…" Red said, sweat dropping. "So…you decided to come back in here?"
"Not for long, just to get something to eat." Blue said.
"Oh. So…why isn't Green with you?" Red asked.
"Green? Why should she be?" Blue asked.
"Wasn't she…isn't she your date?" Red asked.
"DATE?! No, she's not my date!" Blue exclaimed.
"She's not?" Red asked, shocked.
"No, she isn't. What gave you that idea?" Blue asked.
"Well, Emerald said that he saw Green go out on the balcony. And since you were out there…we thought…maybe you guys were spending your date out there…?" Red said awkwardly, the end sounding like a question.
"She did go out there, but it wasn't because she was my date. Green was here by herself." Blue said.
"She was?" Red asked, earning a nod from Blue.
"Wow, I wonder how someone like her couldn't get a date." Red said, genuinely confused. Blue stared at Red for a second, then sighed.
"Actually, Red, she wanted to come here with you." Blue said.
"With me?!" Red exclaimed, blushing slightly. Blue nodded.
"How do you know that?" Red asked. Blue picked up a rice ball.
"Because she told me." He said, biting into it.
*Flashback*
Before homeroom on the day after the slumber party at Lady Platinum's house, Green told Blue to meet her in her secret base.
Blue, arms crossed, tapped his fingers in an annoyed manner as he sat waiting for Green. Finally, he heard the elevator doors open.
"Bluuuue, guess what I've got?" Green sang, entering the base.
"It better be important. Why did I have to come here so early?" Blue complained.
"Because all of the others know already! I told Silver last night and of course Soul and Yellow know since they were there." Green explained, taking a seat next to Blue.
"Know what?" Blue asked, irritated.
"Check it out! It's the results of my game at the slumber party!" Green said, holding out the torn up sheets of paper. "Just like I thought: Sapphire wants to go with Ruby! And look, Crystal wants to go with Gold! I guess opposites really do attract, huh?" she grinned.
"I guess." Blue said, appearing to not care a little less.
"And White wants to go to the dance with Black. And Bianca wants to go with Cheren." Green continued. "They're in the classes with the older kids, so it'll be a little harder to get them together. But it won't be impossible with me in charge. Tee-hee."
She continued to rummage through the sheets of paper. Blue raised an eyebrow.
"You're doing all of this for everyone else; are you even planning on going to the dance with anyone?" he asked.
"Ooh, you interested?" Green winked.
"Hardly." Blue said. Green giggled.
"Well, I actually wanted to see if Red would want to go with me." Green said. "But, it doesn't look like I'll be able to." She chuckled uneasily.
"Why is that?" Blue asked.
"Because of this one!" she whined, holding up a sheet of paper in front of Blue's face.
"Red?" he questioned, simply reading it.
"Yellow wrote this one. Not that it wasn't obvious." She said. "Yellow knows why we played that game. I can't ask Red to the dance when she thinks I'm supposed to be getting Red to ask her out. She'll feel betrayed."
"Is it really that big of a deal?" Blue groaned, face-palming. Ignoring him completely, Green stood up.
"It doesn't matter what I feel. I have to do this for Yellow." Green said, making a fist of determination.
"Hey," he said. Green turned to him.
"How did you get them to play this game?" Blue asked.
"As you'd expect, they were rightfully wary at first. So I told them I'd play with them." Green explained. "Naturally that convinced 'em." She said with a wink.
"Then…shouldn't they know that you want to go with Red?" Blue asked. Green shook her finger.
"Naturally I made my escape before they asked." Green giggled.
"Pesky girl…" Blue muttered.
After going on to explain about Green's base and her "mission", Blue continued eating his rice ball while Red sat in silence, taking in what he'd just heard.
"She told you that?" Red asked. Blue nodded.
"She was…trying to set people up for the dance…and said that both she and Yellow wanted to go with me?" Red continued. Blue nodded again.
"So she…decided to tell me to ask out Yellow?" Red finished.
"I guess." Blue shrugged. Red sat silently for a second, the looked up.
"Well then," Red said, standing up. "I gotta go find her!" he said. "Do you know where she went?"
"Actually, she went home a little while ago." Blue said. "But she'll be back."
"She went home?" Red asked.
"Shocked me, too." Blue said. "Guess she felt no reason to stay."
"Then…how do you know she'll be back?" Red asked. Blue took a sip of his drink.
"There's no way she'll be able to stay away." Blue replied.
Meanwhile, Sapphire and Diamond were sitting in the school's lobby.
"It's useless, Dia." Sapphire said, tugging on the frills of her dress. "If he couldn't even remember this dress…there's no way he remembers what we said on Mirage Island." Diamond looked at the floor, sadly.
"I'm sorry, Sapphire." He said. "I was sure that if Ruby saw you in the dress you wore the day he saved you… not only would he remember the events of that day, but that he'd remember his confession."
"It's okay, Dia. It was a good idea." Sapphire smiled, reassuringly patting him on the back. "But it's obvious…Ruby doesn't have feelings for me anymore." She said, quietly. Diamond shook his head.
"What did you say to him…when you talked to him earlier?" Diamond asked.
"I asked him what he thought of my dress and all he said was that it matched my eyes." Sapphire explained.
"Well, maybe he didn't know what you were going for. Why don't you just tell him that it was the dress you wore that day?" he asked.
"Well, I didn't tell him before because…I wanted to see if he'd remember." She said.
"Sometimes, guys are a little clueless about this kind of thing." Diamond joked. "Don't worry Sapphire. I'll go and talk to Ruby." He said and headed back towards the gym.
Unbeknownst to Diamond and Sapphire, Ruby had been spying on them from afar. He couldn't make out much of what they were saying, though he was really only interested in seeing what the two were doing.
Ruby noticed Diamond coming in his direction.
"Here he comes. Now's my chance." Ruby thought and got up from his spot to confront Diamond. Diamond saw him looked surprised to see him.
"Oh, there's Ruby right now." He thought as he approached him.
"Ruby! I was just coming to see you!" Diamond grinned. Ruby raised an eyebrow.
"What for?" he asked.
"Well, it's about Sapphire." Diamond said.
"Oh, really? 'Cuz I was just about to ask you about Sapphire, as well." Ruby said, crossing his arms.
"Huh, you were?" Diamond asked.
"Yeah I was! How did you get Sapphire to be your date, huh?" Ruby asked, somewhat angrily. "How come she's fallen for you all of a sudden?!"
"Date?! Sapphire's not my date…" Diamond said. Ruby's eyes widened.
"What do you mean?" he asked, slightly less angrily. "She-She's not…?" Diamond shook his head.
"Sapphire's not…You mean all this time…" Ruby said to himself.
"Why did you think that Sapphire was my date?" Diamond asked.
"Y-You two have been hanging out a whole lot lately. After school and at lunch…" Ruby rambled. "Sh-She's wearing a dress! She hates dresses."
"Oh, that! That was because we've been trying to help each other." Diamond grinned.
"Help each other?" Ruby asked. Diamond nodded.
"Yeah. She told me that she wanted to go to the dance with you, but she didn't think you felt the same. And I told her the same thing, but with Lady." He said, blushing slightly at the last part. "So we've been trying to help each other, though, she's done more helping than I have."
"So…that was it…?" Ruby said, glancing at Sapphire playing with her dress.
"Sapphire's wanted to go to the dance with you this whole time." Diamond said. "She wore a dress to try to get your attention." Ruby stood there for a while, feeling like an idiot.
"Sapphire and Diamond were just helping each other?" he thought. "Sapphire wanted to go with me? And Diamond really did want to go with Lady…?
Ruby suddenly hugged Diamond.
"I'm so sorry Diamond! I've been so angry at you all for nothing!" he said, crying.
"I-It's…okay Ruby." Diamond said, sweat dropping awkwardly. He'd also be unaware of Ruby's anger until now and was slightly confused.
"No it isn't. I should have known you wouldn't do something like that! You were only trying to help and I immediately jumped to conclusions." Ruby continued.
"Well…I can't blame you. It's natural that you'd think that." Diamond said, still uncomfortable. "But, I think you should go and talk to Sapphire about it." Ruby let go of Diamond.
"Yeah, you're right." Ruby said. Diamond nodded.
"Good luck." He said and went back into the gym.
Ruby took a deep breath and walked over to Sapphire.
"Um…Sapphire?" Ruby said. Sapphire looked up at him.
"Ruby?" she said, then turned away. "Whaddya want?"
"Can I…uh…talk to you?" he asked. Sapphire thought for a second before she stood up.
As Green was floating through the sky, she thought about the others back at the school.
"I wonder how the dance is going." She said, then started to wonder out loud. "Should I really have left? It was the first school dance, after all. Even if I didn't have a date."
"Wiggly…" Jiggly made a sad sounding cry. Green looked up.
"Hey, don't worry about me. I'm okay." She said. "Although, my arm is getting tired." She said, and grabbed Jiggly's other foot, to rest her other arm.
"Oh no, Jiggly!" Green suddenly exclaimed.
"Wiggly?" Jiggly glanced down.
"I forgot, I have to return Lady's ring!" she said, staring at the ring. "We gotta go back." Jiggly nodded and turned around.
"WHAT?! Ya thought…Diamond was my date?!" Sapphire exclaimed. "What gave ya that idea?!"
"Well, I kept seeing you two together and…I assumed…" he stopped, rubbing the back of his neck.
"You mean…like at lunch? That was 'cuz-" Sapphire started, but Ruby interrupted her.
"I know, Diamond just told me. You two were trying to help each other get dates." He said. "But…I actually did want to ask you to the dance." Sapphire's face flushed, but she didn't drop the angry tone in her voice.
"Y-Ya did? Well ya didn't act like it! Every time I brought it up ya-" she started.
"Changed the subject?" Ruby finished. Sapphire nodded.
"I know. But…it was because…" he said, looking down.
"Because…?" Sapphire asked.
"I…was jealous." He said, which shocked Sapphire. "I was so sure that you were going to the dance with Diamond, that I thought that you were just going to be talking about you and him. Or how much better Diamond is than me." And I…just…didn't want to hear it."
"Y-You felt that way?" Sapphire asked. Ruby nodded.
"I actually tried to ask you once, but, I just couldn't bring myself to." He said. "Remember…the day I asked you to come with me to a Super Contest instead?"
Sapphire gasped. "So, when I thought he was gonna ask me to the dance then…I was right!"
"So…this was all just…a misunderstanding?" Sapphire asked.
"Yeah…I guess so." Ruby chuckled.
"You…really did want to go to the dance with me?" Sapphire asked. Ruby blushed, but then took her hands and said confidently:
"Yes, Sapphire, I did." Sapphire blushed.
"But, before I say anything else…there's one more thing you need to know…" he said.
"Huh?" Sapphire thought out loud.
"…about that dress of yours…" he finished.
"My dress?" she said.
"When I saw you come in here wearing that dress…I was initially captivated by your beauty." Ruby explained.
"B-Beauty?" Sapphire said, still red-faced.
"But then…I became angry." He continued. "I was angry that you never wanted to wear a real dress when I suggested it, but that you'd wear one for Diamond. Especially…since it was that dress."
Sapphire's eyes widened. "What do you mean…this dress?" She asked, hopefully.
"That dress…you had one like it the day I saved you from the Salamence…didn't you?" Ruby asked. Sapphire stared at Ruby.
"So…you remember that?!" Sapphire exclaimed. Ruby nodded.
"So…can I ask ya something else?!" Sapphire asked, nervously, but Ruby put his finger on her lips.
"You don't have to. I know what you want to ask." He said. "I also remember…what I said on Mirage Island to you. I've always remembered." Sapphire had tears in her eyes, but her reaction didn't show the happiness that her tears were for.
"Then why don't you act like it?!" she yelled.
"I guess…for the same reason that I couldn't ask you to this dance." He said.
"Because…you were jealous?" Sapphire asked, confused. Ruby shook his head.
"No…for…another reason. One that I…didn't actually want to say." He said.
"Another reason?" Sapphire thought.
"I was…scared. I was scared of what would happen if I'd have told you I remembered. I didn't know what would happen to our friendship…something that I didn't want to change." Ruby explained. "So I pretended that I didn't remember. And…I can see I caused you a lot of pain all of this time."
"Ruby…" Sapphire said quietly. "If I woulda known that that's what you thought…" she thought.
"But I want to make that all up to you." Ruby said, taking her hands again. "So…will you be my date for the rest of the night?"
"Of cos' I will!" Sapphire exclaimed, eyes sparkling. Without warning, Ruby pressed his lips against Sapphire's. Sapphire's eyes widened. He pulled away a few seconds later.
"R-Ruby?!" Sapphire stuttered, her face as red as Ruby's jacket. Ruby chuckled and turned back towards the gym.
"Come on," Ruby laughed, pulling her along. "I want cherish the time that you'll be in a dress!"
Green ran back into the gym and started looking around.
"Now where is Lady?" she said to herself, scanning the gym. She noticed her talking to Pearl near one of the games.
"Lady!" Green called to get her attention. Lady turned around as Green ran over to her.
"Green, is something the matter?" she asked. Green shook her head.
"No, no. I just needed to return your ring." She said, handing Lady her ring.
"Right now? You aren't leaving already, are you?" she asked.
"No, no! I was just…about to get something to eat, and I didn't want to lose it." Green lied.
"Oh, very well. I shall hold it for you until you finish." Lady said.
"Thanks." Green said. She started towards the food table, but glanced back at Lady and Pearl. When she saw them return to their game, she passed the table and went out a door that led to another hallway.
"Great…I guess I can't leave now; Lady'll be suspicious." Green said to herself. Though, she was actually happy that by pure chance of word choice, that she'd now have to stay, since she really didn't want to leave again.
She glanced up at her hair. "I must look a mess after having Jiggly carry me in the air all that time." She said. "Better take a quick trip to the bathroom." She said. She hadn't taken more than three steps before heard the door open behind her.
"Green!" Green turned around to see Red.
"Red? What are you doing out here?" she asked as Red approached her.
"I was…looking for you." Red said.
"For me? Why did you need me?" Green asked.
"Where have you been? Or rather, where are you going?" he asked.
"W-What do you mean?" she asked, sweat dropping slightly.
"You left earlier didn't you? Are you about to leave again?" he asked.
"How do you know that?" she asked.
"Blue told me." He said. "But that's not the point! How come you left in the first place? It isn't like you to do something like that."
Green turned the other direction and was silent for a while.
"Blue said…you might have felt no reason to stay." Red said. "Is that true?"
Green sighed. "Figures Blue gets involved in these things when I'm not around." She mumbled in an annoyed, yet amused tone.
"I don't really know. Maybe it was because I felt no reason to stay. Maybe because I thought I'd be bored just sitting around by myself while everyone else was with their dates." She mumbled.
"But you told me you had a date." Red said, trying to seem clueless about the situation. Green sighed.
"I lied, okay?" She said.
"Why would you lie about something like that?" Red asked. "Were you embarrassed or something?" Green didn't answer him.
"It's not that big of a deal, Green." Red said. "Besides, if you were really that concerned about not having a date, why didn't you ask anyone? Wasn't there anyone you wanted to ask?"
"Yeah, there was." She said and turned back to face Red. "I really wanted…to come here with you."
"Y-You did?" Red asked, still actually somewhat shocked despite the fact that Blue'd already told him. He had been acting clueless partly because he wanted to find out if Green would say what Blue told him. Green nodded.
"But, if you wanted to go to the dance with me…how come you told me to ask Yellow to the dance?" Red asked.
"Because…she wanted to go with you, too. But she was too shy to ask you." Green said, causing Red to blush a little. "Yellow didn't know that I wanted to go with you, too. If I'd have asked you to the dance…Yellow would have felt…" she stopped and stared at the floor.
"So…all of what Blue said…was true." Red thought.
"Originally, I thought I wouldn't have a problem, but as I put off getting you and Yellow together longer and longer, I realized that it wasn't going to be as easy as I thought." Green explained. "I even asked Cynthia for advice about it."
"Y-You did?" Red asked. Green nodded.
"Yeah. It's what we were talking about yesterday before you showed up." Green explained.
"So…what did she tell you?" Red asked.
"The only thing she said was: 'what do you think Red thinks?'." She said. "She told me to ask you, but I didn't really think that would get me anywhere."
"Oh yeah, she did ask me who I thought about going to the dance with, yesterday." Red thought. "She said she didn't think that would get her anywhere; that must be why she told me to ask Yellow to the dance immediately after."
"So in the end, I decided to keep my promise to Yellow. I'd rather do that than have her be mad at me for leading her to think that I was gonna help her, only to ask you to the dance myself." Green finished.
Red was silent for a second and just stared at the floor. When he spoke again, he had a slight smirk on his face.
"That was…a good thing you did for Yellow, Green." Red said. "Keeping your promise despite your own feelings…"
"But…maybe…you should have listened to Cynthia." he said, looking up at her.
"What do you mean by that?" Green asked.
"Maybe, you should have just asked me. I bet it woulda saved you all of that trouble." He said.
"And why's that?" Green asked.
"Because…I actually…wanted to ask you to the dance." He said.
"WHAT?!" Green exclaimed, wide-eyed.
"At first I didn't really know who I wanted to go with, and the other guys tried to help me. They even had to narrow it down to you and Yellow which made sense, since you two are the girls that I hang out with the most." Red explained, sheepishly. "But, I was still unsure of who I should ask. I was thinking about it so hard that Black's Munna had to eat my dreams to help me think clearly."
"Did it work?" Green asked. Red looked at the ceiling.
"It was strange. When it was eating my dream…I wasn't left with a particular name or anything, but an image." He said.
"And image?" Green asked. "Of what?"
"A Pokémon. It was hard to tell, but…I think it was a Mew." Red explained.
"Mew?" Green asked.
"Yeah, don't you remember? Way back when we first met, you were trying to capture Mew and I was trying to protect it from Team Rocket." Red explained. "The image of Mew was related to you."
"So, you thought the image of Mew was…your dreams or thoughts telling you to ask me to the dance?" Green asked, somewhat confused.
"Well, even after my dream was eaten, I still thought about it for myself." Red said.
"And…you chose me over Yellow?!" Green asked.
"It's not that I don't like Yellow or anything; she's my friend, too!" Red said, quickly. "But…I didn't really think of asking her to be my date. And I couldn't make any connection to Yellow with my dream, so…"
"SWEETIE!" Green yelled as she glomped Red, interrupting him. "If you wanted to ask me, why didn't you just say so?" she winked.
"Your…attitude's changed…" Red stuttered, sweat dropping.
The two then heard the sound of the stereos from the gym.
"I think they're…about to play another slow song…" Red said, nervously. "Do you…
"Want to dance? Of course!" Green cheered, then stopped and let go of Red. "But, wait, what about Yellow?" Green asked.
"She and Crystal went for a walk." Red said, rubbing the back of his head.
"Hmmm…so…I guess I'll dance with you for her? Until she gets back?" Green suggested.
"I…guess that would be okay." Red said.
"Well then, let's go!" Green said, pushing the doors open.
Pearl was still playing the arcade game. Lady walked over to him.
"Pearl, Sebastian just told me that it is almost time for the last slow dance." Lady said.
"What?! Now?" Pearl complained. "But I'm in the middle of a game!"
"Yes, Pearl." Lady said. "You can get back to your game afterwards."
"But…but…" Pearl said as his game ended, due to Lady distracting him.
"No 'buts'. It is absolutely necessary to dance the first and the last slow dance together." Lady explained. "I'll be right back." She said, and walked off.
"I'm getting really sick of all these rules!" Pearl mumbled. He glanced at the doors and saw Diamond enter.
"Dia! Hey, Dia, come here for a sec'!" Pearl waved him over.
"What's wrong Pearl?" he asked. Pearl grabbed Diamond's shoulders.
"Dia, I can't take it anymore! Ya gotta be Lady's date!" he said, frantically shaking him.
"M-Me?!" Diamond exclaimed. "But I can't; Lady chose you to be her date."
"You're much better suited for this, Dia." Pearl said. "Besides, you get to dance with Lady! That's cool isn't it?"
"But I can't-" Diamond started saying when the two them noticed Lady coming back towards them.
"Ack! Here she comes!" Pearl said, and ran off.
"Wait! What am I supposed to-" he called after Pearl.
"Just make something up!" he called back.
"Uh…but…okay!" Diamond stuttered, then turned around. Because he wasn't paying attention, he bumped into Lady.
"Sorry about that, Lady." Diamond said.
"Oh, hello, Diamond. What have you been up to this evening?" Lady asked.
"N-Nothing much. I was just coming over here to get a snack." He said.
"Oh, but don't get it just yet. We are about to have the last slow dance." Lady grinned. "Are you not planning to take part in it?"
"W-Well…no. I don't actually have a date or anything…" Diamond said. Lady looked shocked.
"You don't? But…I'd heard from Ruby that you were attending the dance with Sapphire…" she said.
"Oh, no! It was just a big misunderstanding. I'm not here with anyone." He chuckled, nervously.
"You aren't? I wish I'd known that sooner." Lady said.
"Wh-Why's that?" Diamond asked.
"Because I had planned on asking you to escort me." Lady said. Diamond blushed.
"Y-You were?" Diamond asked. Lady nodded.
"I'd decided to when you stayed out in the rain just to look for my ring." Lady said. "It was such a sweet and selfless gesture. When I spoke with Ruby, however, he said that you and Sapphire were coming here together. So I decided to ask Pearl to escort me instead." Lady said. "Speaking of Pearl, have you seen him?"
"Uh…he said he…was feeling sort of sick…" Diamond said, nervously. "So he went to the nurse's office."
"He did? That's rather unfortunate." Lady said. The music started playing in the background.
"Since Pearl isn't feeling well, would you mind being my dance partner, Diamond?" Lady asked, taking his hand.
"But…I can't ballroom dance…" Diamond said, as she pulled him to the center of the room.
"Don't worry. I'll teach you." Lady said. "Put one of your arms around my waist and use your other hand to hold mine."
"Ok." Diamond followed her instructions and she put her other hand on his shoulder.
"Now, when I step forward, you step backwards." She explained and demonstrated. "When I move sideways, you move the same direction. Simple enough?"
"I…guess so…" Diamond said. "But…I think I'll still mess up." Lady giggled.
"Don't worry, we'll start out slowly." She said.
The back doors were suddenly pushed open.
"Red, they're already starting!" Green said, dragging Red to the dance floor.
"Slow down, Green!" Red said. "Do you even know how to do this?"
"Of course I do!" Green said, taking his hand and putting her other hand on his shoulder. "Don't make me have to lead!"
Ruby and Sapphire also joined the others.
"Come on, Sapphire!" Ruby said. "I'll teach you how to dance."
"I don't need ya to teach me! I can figure it out!" she said, trying to imitate what the others were doing.
"Sapphire, your hands are positioned wrong! And I'm supposed to lead!" Ruby said.
"How can I let ya lead, yar going too slow!" Sapphire complained.
"We're supposed to go slow; it's called a slow dance!" Ruby said.
"Ya make Ms. Agatha look like an Arcanine!" Sapphire said.
"Sapphire!"
"Ruby!"
On the other side of the room, Yellow and Crystal finally returned to the gym.
"I feel much better now." Crystal said. "Thanks Yellow."
"No problem, Crys." Yellow grinned.
"It looks like the others are dancing again." Crystal observed.
"We must have been gone for quite a while." Yellow said, sweat dropping slightly.
"Yo, Crys! I was waiting for you." Gold said, appearing next to them. The two girls shrieked.
"Huh?" Yellow said.
"What is it, Gold?!" Crystal exclaimed. Gold grabbed her hand.
"We didn't get to dance the first time. So now you have to!" Gold smirked.
"Gold, wait a second!" Crystal whined. "You better do this right; you're not gonna embarrass me!"
Yellow sweat dropped. "Good luck, Crys!" she said. Yellow went back to the snack table.
"I wonder where Red went." Yellow said. "He was here when I left." She scanned the room and soon saw him dancing with Green.
"Huh?" Yellow said. "Red's…with Green now…?" Neither Red nor Green had noticed Yellow's return.
"Did Red...not want to come with me after all?" she wondered. Her eyes started to fill with tears as she stared in shock.
"What…happened while I was gone…?" Yellow said, quietly.
Ahahahahahahahahaha! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *insanity*
None of it made sense! None of it! This made absolutely NO SENSE! But I don't care! I'm a troll! Deadman Wonderland just trolled my life. I need to watch some MLP: Friendship is Magic... *Rambling*
Now back to this Garbodor heap~
Feel free to tell me how this chapter didn't make any sense and how retarted it was in your reviews. Don't worry, I don't mind. XD
Of course I ended it with Lucky and CommonerShipping right there because I am a douchebag. But whatever, the former is basically trolling anyway. And what's better than that?
Oh, and everyone was OOC! AHAHAHAHAHA! *insanity*
I figured since I trolled you all with FranticShipping this long, I might as well add a little something to make it up to you. But I'll probably still get stoned by y'all…not even with rocks, with like, Golem.
Gosh there were a lot of conflicts in this thing!
And yes, clearly the lobby is on the second floor.
I'm such a terrible person to all my readers! D'X I don't deserve such wonderful people!
That ending sucked, didn't it? So it can't be the end…can it? Wahahahahahaha!
But really, though. You'd have to have the heart of a demon not to cry at that ending.
