Okay!

I can officially announce that after this chapter we'll have four more chapters left of this story to go. It's bittersweet since it'll be nice to finish this and move on to something else but I only have a few more times writing this story before it's over. Anyway! The next four chapters after this one are going to be what I like to call 'The Double Song Chapters'. I call it that because whenever I watch the movie, it seems to me after the song in this chapter, there is more singing and less dialogue and there are two reprises. I knew from when I began writing this that I would do the two reprise songs because I wanted this to be like a movie. So I hope you enjoy the next four chapters, I promise there will be dialogue in between the songs.

Thank you to Creative Writer 2000, ChloboShoka, Schoollie and Algrandz for their reviews! I still encourage the rest of you who favoured and followed this story to do the same. I would love to hear from all of you.

Disclaimer: The only thing I own are the bed sheets in my room.

Dedication: As one of the first reviewers of this fic Creative Writer 2000 has been someone I wish I could write like. So I'm finally doing good on that promise I made you. I hope you laugh.

"Talking…"

"Singing…"

Enjoy!

Falling In Love With Love

Shigeru woke up that morning with the feeling of impending doom and so did his Eevee. The pair stared at each other for a moment until the prince realized why he was feeling the way he did.

The ball was tonight.

He groaned and wanted to fall back asleep but there was no way his sister was going to have that happen. Nanami waltzed right into his room and shook him. He glared at her, not liking what she was doing.

"Can you please not do that?" He asked.

She replied, "Then can you please get up? We have so much to do… I can't believe that the ball is today! Time moves so fast these days."

"That's only because you announced the ball yesterday," He said, "How you were able to get the palace ready so fast is unbelievable."

She shrugged, "Let's just say that the servants were putting in their hours yesterday and last night."

After some forcing by the young prince, his sister finally left his room which allowed him to get dressed. Once he actually had clothes on, he and Eevee left the room to investigate the decorations. As it turned out, the decorations were elaborate which made him wonder how the hell the servants got everything done so fast. It was rather odd but before he had a chance to think about it, Shu appeared out of nowhere and he wasn't alone. Naturally, his Roselia was with him, but he also had two other people with him.

"Your Highness I wanted to introduce you to the two people that are going to help us with our plans," The Greenette said as he gestured to the random girl and boy.

"Her name," The guy said as he pointed to the girl, "is Moroz and her sanguis is very rubeus."

Moroz rolled her eyes and pointed at the guy, "and his name, Your Majesty, is Rider and he's a real creative writer."

"Those are very creative names you got there," Shigeru said.

Shu nodded, "Just as unique as the name Ash, some would say."

"You're pushing it," The prince said.

He waved him off, "Anyway, Moroz and Rider please make sure that you are in your positions before the start of the ball ok?"

The pair nodded before they took off to do who knows what. All the prince wanted to do at this moment was just go to sleep and never wake up. Unfortunately, it wasn't going to happen anytime soon. Eevee stared at his friend and was hoping that the boy with the Pikachu was going to show up. She liked that boy and the Pikachu.

"Are you sure this is going to work?" Masato asked.

Haruka nodded, "Positive. We are going to get Satoshi to the ball even if it kills me. He needs to go. My gut feeling is telling me this."

One of the many gifts Haruka, Shu and the others revieced from the legendary and God Pokemon was the ability to get these 'gut' feelings. Most of the time, it was their powers and the said Pokemon leading them in the right direction. It was really weird and awkward at first, but over time it became normal. As much as Haruka knew the palace was the place Satoshi needed to be that evening, she didn't want to be anywhere near Shu.

"You seem very determined," Dento said calmly.

Hikari ran a hand though her hair, "Yes. Don't tell me that it's because Shu is here too."

"They haven't been in the same city for a long time," Airisu said, "The last time was the first time they were sent on a mission."

The brunette glared at them before turning around and focusing on Satoshi. She wasn't sure how getting the boy to the ball was the solution but if that was the vibe she was getting then she was going to do it. She was glad that she was able to go over to meet Satoshi yesterday it really helped in figuring out in what way she was going to help him. He was a nice person. The problem had to be that stepfamily he had. They were like a ball and chain, they didn't help for shit. She was glad she didn't meet them, if she did, she might have done something she didn't want to do. Yesterday, she noticed that Satoshi was down about something. She wasn't sure what it was but she had an idea. If it was what she was thinking, she was going to be the one to give the solution to his problem.

"So what are you thinking?" Masato waved a hand to her face.

Haruka shook her head, "About Satoshi. Who else do you think?"

"I was hoping it was about Shu," Airisu called out.

She sighed, "Why do you guys keep bringing him up?"

"You really don't see it do you?" Hikari asked.

She sent the girl a look, "See what?"

"She doesn't see it," Dento said.

The Godmother didn't know what she was supposed to be seeing but seemed like it was something important. On the other hand, everyone else thought it was cute that she was so clueless but they were getting annoyed that she didn't see it.

Satoshi and Takeshi weren't having the time of their lives. They were woken up by Sakaki's Persian early in the morning and have been running around since then. It was about midday and they were exhausted. Sakaki and his kids were off to get some last minute things which left the boys to relax. They had told Pikachu and Vulpix to keep their eyes out for the carriage. If and when they saw it, they were to go wake them up. It was going to be a painful way of waking up but it was going to be worth it for those few precious hours they had.

Takeshi woke up a good two hours later. The Pokemon that were keeping watch hadn't seen the carriage come in which surprised Takeshi but at least Satoshi was going to sleep more. He looked over at the ebony haired boy and felt a smile grace his face. He remembered when they were kids and how they would go play. Around midday, they would get tired so then they would find a certain tree and take a nap. No matter how far they were when they would fall asleep, when they woke up, they were right next to each other.

Things were different now. Sakaki had taken all the joy from the house and still, Takeshi was still able to find happiness in the little things as Satoshi had done. All day today the spiky haired teen was thinking about what the ugly man had told him yesterday. As dramatic as it was, there was an undertone in what he had said and Takeshi wanted to figure it out before the ball tonight. He was still thinking about it when Pikachu was squealed. He looked up and sure enough, the carriage was arriving. The older teen instantly shook his friend awake.

"Satoshi! It's time to wake up," He said, "Our favorite people are back."

The younger teen opened his eyes ever so slowly and stretched. He sat up and looked over at the other.

"Why didn't you sleep in?" Satoshi asked, "I thought that Vulpix and Pikachu were going to wake us up?"

He shrugged, "I don't know. I woke up some time ago and I couldn't go back to sleep. I didn't want to wake you up so I decided to let you sleep in."

"But you're the one who's going to need your rest, you're going to the ball tonight," The ebony haired boy said.

Takeshi replied, "I'm not the one who has too make them a midnight snack when they get home. It's going to be late. Of course I'll help you but when I get back but you'll have to start it."

"I know…" He sighed as he stood up.

The two left the room and once they opened the door, a shit load of boxes and such were in their arms. They stared at each other for a moment, before Sakaki announced they were going to get ready for the ball already and they were going to need all the help they could get. Nervously, the teen boys took one look at the bags in their hands and then got to work. Last time, Satoshi helped Musashi get dressed so this time he was going to help Kojiro. Takeshi mouthed the word 'lucky' as he was being led away by the only girl who scared him half to death.

When it came to getting people dressed, Kojiro was the easiest person in the house. Satoshi didn't really have any problems with the purple haired guy. He wasn't the sharpest person in the world so he didn't catch on to things like his sister did.

"You must be excited for the ball tonight," Satoshi said as he was finishing the clay mask.

Kojiro nodded ever so softly, "Of course I am! I get to meet the prince for the first time in my life! I hope he's as handsome as they say. What do you think?"

"I'm not sure…" He answered.

The other guy sighed, "It's a bummer Dad is going to let you go. But I guess he thinks you might have a better chance at the prince then Musashi and I do."

Instantly Kojiro gasped and had a shocked look on his face as if he wasn't supposed to say that out loud. Satoshi had two options. The first one, he could find Sakaki and find out the truth. The second, he could simply pretend that he didn't hear what the idiot in front of him said.

He chose the latter.

Sometime after that, when the stepsiblings were halfway dressed, Sakaki had the brilliant idea to call them to the living room for some sort of prep talk. Takeshi took one look at his friend's stepfather and wished that he didn't. The man was dressed in a bright yellow robe. Yellow wasn't this dude's colour.

"Tonight," Sakaki said, "is the most important night of our lives. If we ever hope for a better life and a way out of this pitiful house, one of my dear children has to romance the prince. So, when you meet him, what are you both going to do?"

Musashi was the first to speak, "Well first I'm going to start with a curtsey."

"Then I'm going to bow to him," Kojiro said.

She then said, "I'll flutter my eyelashes."

"I'll flutter my eyelashes too," He said.

She glared at her brother, "I'm going to smile lovingly at him!"

"I'll give him a more loving smile than you ever will sister!" He exclaimed.

If Satoshi and Takeshi weren't around the father of those two, they would have been laughing. It was so hard for them to even keep a straight face. In fact, I'm even laughing as I write this…

The Stepfather stomped his foot, "Children! Let's move on. When you are actually talking with the prince…what will you say? Daughter?"

"I'm going to tell him what wonderful weather we're having…"She said, "then I'm going to recite a poem I've been working on."

Her father sighed, "Fine but for heaven's sake STOP SCRATCHING!"

"I can't help it!" She said.

The man shook his head, "What are you going to say Son?"

"I have been practicing my funny jokes and my infectious laughter!" He announced.

Sakaki sighed, "Fine, but whatever you do, remember to hide your flaws…"

"…until after the marriage!" The other two finished.

Satoshi spoke out, "But shouldn't love be about accepting people for who they are?"

"Is that so? Well then, if you were to meet the prince what will you say?" Sakaki asked.

He thought about it, "Umm…I don't know what I'm going to say. But whatever it is we would instantly know that we're meant to be together."

"That's so romantic~" Musashi sighed.

Kojiro nodded, "Say it again Ash…"

"LIES!" Sakaki announced, "This isn't about love! It's about marriage! Have I taught you both nothing?!"

And now, ladies and gentleman, you are about to hear what you have been waiting for the whole week. The stepfather's singing; please hold your applause until after he's finished singing.

"Falling in Love with Love is falling for make-believe!" He sang, "Falling in Love with Love is playing the fool!"

His kids were looking at their father in shock as they began to finish getting dressed. Satoshi and Takeshi turned to each other and made faces.

"Caring too much is such a juvenile fancy!" The man kept on, "Learning to trust is just for children in school."

The father was helping his kids get dressed which was fine for his stepson; it was one less thing to do. Before Takeshi was able to make jokes, clothing was thrown at his face. He sighed and grumbled off to go change and perhaps take a quick rinse.

"I fell in Love with Love one night when the moon was full," Sakaki sang as he was doing jazz hands, "I was unwise with eyes unable to see!"

It was at this moment that the ebony haired boy wished that his friend was around. Seeing the older man doing jazz hands made his night. What made it better was that his stepsiblings were trying to do them too.

"I fell in Love with Love with love ever-lasting," The Stepfather was being dramatic now, "But Love fell out, with me!"

Takeshi winced as he was walking back in. How the teen managed to take a bath and get dressed faster than these people who have been at it since noon was beyond Vulpix who was with him. The younger teen smiled at his friend who smiled back. Instantly Vulpix left his owner's arms and into the other's.

"Falling in Love with Love is falling for make-believe!" Musashi and Kojiro sang, "Falling in Love with Love is playing the fool!"

The fox like Pokemon winced at the singing. They didn't sing as great as their father who should never quit his day job anyway. Either way, they weren't too great.

"Caring too much is such a juvenile fancy!" Sakaki sang as he put some perfume on his kids.

The siblings leaned in to smell the perfume they had on, "Learning to trust is just for children in school."

The stepfamily made their way out of the door while dragging away Takeshi and his Vulpix. Satoshi followed them outside.

"I fell in Love with Love one night when the moon was full," Sakaki kept going, "I was unwise with eyes unable to see!"

Takeshi gave his friend a hug, "I'll be back."

"I'll be here," Satoshi smiled.

"I fell in Love with Love, Love ever-lasting!" The man finally was belting out the last part of the song, "But love fell out, with me!"

Then the brown haired boy was in the carriage waving as it was leaving.

At the palace, Shigeru was finishing his dressing process when Shu and Roselia walked in and startled the prince and his Eevee.

"You look sharp your majesty," Shu said.

Shigeru turned to face the mirror again, "Of course I look good. I have to look good."

"Your right," The other shrugged, "what if that Ash guy shows up? You want to impress him don't you?"

The prince flushed, "I have to impress everyone! If I end up seeing Ash and impress him, then half of my job is done. That's what you want, right Godfather?"

"Naturally," He said.

They went silent for a while. It was silence before the storm. Kasumi was with Kenji, the 'fairy' godfather was alone with the person he was supposed to help so everything was perfect. Plus, the silence was very comfortable…for the moment.

Shigeru cleared his throat, "Are you sure this is going to work?"

"Yes," Shu said, "Will you trust me and stop asking that?"

He shrugged as he and Eevee left his room, "I'll stop when this plan works."

"When it does, he'll be so thankful right Roselia?" He asked his Pokemon.

It replied, "Roselia!"

He sighed while wondering how Haruka was doing with the person she was supposed to be helping.

So what did you think? LET ME KNOW!

This chapter was fun to do, I love the actress who sings this song in the movie so I really hope I did it justice. I hope the rest of you liked my random cameo scene. I might put me and Creative Writer 2000 in the fic just for shits and giggles.

I have a poll on my profile on what Pokemon themed musical or fairy tale you all want to see from me. Only FIVE people took it! That's not good enough! We need more people to take it. Please I want to hear from you!

The next chapter songs are: In My Own Little Corner (Reprise) & It's Possible. If you want to read this chapter next week you have to review!
