Oh yeah, those lyrics are from Card Captor Sakura, the second movie The Sealed Card, and the song is called "Arigatou" and is sung by Sakura! It's such a cute song, with really cute parts… Lol! It makes me want to write!
Hope you enjoy this chapter!
May was giggling secretly, as she hid between two booths, as random people stopped to stare at her oddly, as she bustled incoherent things and squealed randomly, and finally when she had stopped, she looked around, blinking naively and confusedly at why everyone was staring at her oddly. She turned again, and suddenly Dawn and Paul were gone!
"Uwah! Where did they go!?" She hissed, and pouted unhappily. She crossed her arms, and began to jog through the crowds. She looked around, not really paying attention to any of her surroundings, looking around and about for somebody's familiar hair… and without knowing it she collided into Ash.
"Ow! Sorry, I was in a rush… Oh, hello." She blinked; catching herself before she'd fallen back and hurt her poor bottom that had probably been abused by that enough already. Ash smiled and nodded, Pikachu on his shoulder. Pikachu gave a happy little cry, and waved its arms cutely about.
"Oh, you're so adorable! I know Casey would have adored you!" May laughed, petting Pikachu and ignoring Ash.
"Casey…?" He looked confused, tilting his head to the side.
"She's a friend of ours, she loves yellow and stripped pokemon! Her favorite baseball team is the Electabuzz. She's simply obsessed!"
"Oh…" Ash nodded, acting as if he completely sure of himself. But when was he ever?
"By the way, have you seen Misty?" May glanced at Ash, and he shook his head. "Oh, well have you seen Dawn then? Or Paul?"
"Why?" Ash stared at her suspiciously.
"No reason!" She gave a nervous laugh, scratching the back of her head and waving her other hand about in front of her face.
"Right…" Ash continued to watch her, wary.
"Maaay!" May turned, and watched as Misty waved wildly and ran through the crowds to greet her, Drew behind her.
"Hi, Misty! Wait 'til I tell you what I saw!" May was bubbling with excitement, looking about ready to blow up with enthusiasm.
"Oh, about what?" Misty stared at May's face, curious, while May giggled like a she was still the schoolgirl talking about her crush.
Drew stood by May and Ash, watching her oddly, as she relayed her observations to a gasping Misty, who, at every proper few seconds, gave a gasp, or a 'ooh!' or 'ahh!' as if they were the audience of some show, being directed what to say.
"No way!" Misty gasped, and the two continued to gossip about Dawn and Paul. They giggled to each other, and Ash rubbed the back of his neck, confused.
"Do you understand them?" Drew simply rubbed his temples at Ash's question.
"Hmm…" May eyed Ash for a minute, but he wasn't exactly looking back at her… And May allowed herself a feral grin, but quickly hid it so Misty wouldn't realize that she was going to ditch her and leave her all by herself with Ash.
"Oh! Food! Let's go that way!" May cried, grabbing Drew's arm suddenly and dragging him off like a rag doll, fading into the midst of unfamiliar faces.
"Wha…?" Misty blinked, reaching one hand extended that had been too short to reach May's wrist in time.
She gave a glare that would have surely rivaled Satan's, in the direction of where May had gone, and other people in the crowd, who happened to be in the range of her glare, began to sweat and quickly moved out of the way of the deathly aura that surrounded Misty.
"YOU SUCK!!" She screeched, voice raised at least two decibels, that must have surely shook the boat to its core, and random people ducked behind booths and between them, thinking it was surely the Apocalypse.
May was snorting with laughter by then, squished between two booths, Drew gazing at her with a mixed expression of amusement and pure horror.
"What was that?" He asked carefully.
"Misty's temper…" May managed, between breaths she somehow snuck in between her laughter. She held her stomach, and had to lean against the cool, wooden wall of the booth as she finally caught her breath.
"Remind me never to get her mad then…" Drew said, eyeing past May's body and into the crowds of people, making sure Misty was nowhere near them.
"She'll probably slaughter me later, but I know she'll thank me for it." May grinned cheekily, and Drew quirked an eyebrow at her.
"You mean as in she likes Ash?"
"Hmm, it's a possibility. But his naïveté may cause her to smack him a couple of times."
"Ahh, well she'll probably need a brick if she wants anything to get through his thick skull." Drew remarked, and May giggled.
"Ah, darn, I still don't know where Paul and Dawn are." May pouted again, and Drew smirked at her cute expression.
"What are you, a stalker?" He retorted, and May stared at him.
"I am not a stalker!" She glared angrily at his cheeky expression.
"Really now…" He shrugged, walking past her, hands in his pockets in a manner that clearly said he didn't care.
May stared after him, glaring, as if it would make any difference. Then she noticed he was walking away, "Hey! Wait up!"
"Oh, I'm going to kill her!" Misty's face was a slight shade of pink, as Ash followed her, eyeing her with caution. Togepi, unaware of Misty's deathly anger, simply cooed happily in her arms. Pikachu sweatdropped on Ash's shoulder, slightly hiding behind his head. Misty held May's wallet in her hand, sighting as she noted May had dropped it on her mad dash with Drew, away from them.
"She must have been really hungry…" Ash said, obviously unaware of May's true intentions. Misty sighed at Ash's complete and utter denseness, but on the other hand was quite relieved he didn't realize anything. Her cheeks were colored pink, almost as if a rose had been dusted lightly and removed of its brilliant shade, leaving only the underlying basis of pink. Misty tightened her hold slightly on Togepi, lips a in a nervous line. Ash watched her slouched figure with curiosity.
The two began to approach the heart of the party, a large circle with the music blasting, all the lanterns leading up to the large tower and shining radiantly down on the dancing couples. Couples stared at each others eyes, girl's and women alike with shining eyes filled with a shimmer of happiness, the men and boys smiling too, although their cheeks crimson with embarrassment and emotion.
"How pretty…" Misty gasped, her voice breathy and light.
"Yeah…" Ash stood beside her, watching the people dancing. He glanced at her face, her eyes luminous and shining a unique color of turquoise, lips set to a pleased smile. He turned a little red and looked back at the dancing couples.
"Uh… Do y-you… want to dance…?" He asked, nervously, rubbing the back of his neck and staring at his feet, his face glowing bright, bright red.
"E-eh…?" Misty blinked, taking in a sharp breath. Her face turned a darker hue of a Corsola's skin, and she smiled nervously at the ground.
"W-well if you don't want to-" He said, awkwardly, but was cut off.
"I would love to!" Misty smiled dazzlingly at him, and he in return gave an adorable smile. Misty put Togepi down, and Pikachu in turn jumped down from Ash's shoulder, talking with the younger baby pokemon.
Grasping each other's hands, everybody danced gracefully in a waltz, which seemed too old of a dancing style for them, and still young and perfect for that night. Misty giggled, as she looked past Ash's head and watched as Pikachu mock danced with Togepi, and Ash turned his head slightly, smiling back as well.
The two were a perfect match, stepping in time with each other just right, and others watched in admiration, and enviously, girl's wishing they could have had him as a partner. A few girls stood in the shadows of a little outside the circle, and the three turned angrily, away from the site.
A random photographer taking pictures of the event was snapping away at random dancing partners, before taking notice of the two dancing. Looking through his camera lens, he watched with an intense glimmer in his eye, almost as if the two inspired him. Steadying his camera, he stared at them through the lens, before clicking the button, and hearing the click of the shutter, he looked through his camera's screen, flipping to the picture.
The two stared at each other, almost lovingly, the boy's hat off, Misty's eyes closed and she gave a wide smile, their hands holding each other lightly, Ash watching her, his eyes half lidded and a small, but perfectly genuine, smile on his face. Their steps were almost airy, as if they were dancing on the air, moving perfectly in synch with each other, and the lights shone down on them, and the film taker couldn't help but smile. The music was slowing down and fading, when it was truly not, in Ash and Misty's ears. There was nothing but them, the feel of the atmosphere that wrapped itself around them, and the lights from the cute, circular Chinese-styled lanterns and they waltzed, unaware of the people that watched in admiration at young love.
"I wonder what Misty and Ash could be doing right now…" May pondered aloud, putting a finger to her chin, the other hand behind her resting gently just above her bottom. Drew glanced back from the corner of his eye, almost as if he was acknowledging her, but at the same time ignoring her. May huffed, annoyed with the lime-haired coordinator.
'What's his problem, anyway?!' May, for the umpteenth time that day, pouted again. She puffed up her cheeks unhappily, but soon a booth that was selling cotton candy caught her eye. Her eyes lit up, her azure eyes were smiling in themselves. She ran past Drew, going straight for the light, pink clouds that were being wound in a circular motion. Drew watched her as she ran happily towards the sweet candy, and he gave a small smile at her childish actions.
Just as she reached for her wallet, May blinked. She realized that her back pockets felt a lot lighter than usual… and that was she realized she'd accidentally dropped it when she had run away from Misty! May was tempted to bang her head against the counter in the booth.
"Lost your wallet?" Drew commented, and May glared at him.
"Shut up." Drew simply laughed at her, and May couldn't help but blush a bit, turning back to watch the cotton candy when she was really staring at Drew from the corner of her eye. She noticed as he held up a finger, and she turned at him, only to have a large bag of pink cotton candy shoved in her face. She blinked, almost confused as to what she was supposed to do with it. She received the bag gently, hearing it crinkle against her fingertips, as Drew paid and, in his usual stance, began to walk off. She opened it up, as she jogged to catch up to him, walking next to him. She pulled out a small piece, watching it separate and, putting it in her mouth, felt it melt suddenly against her tongue.
She pulled out another piece, and stopped, which ultimately caused Drew to stop to look at her. She held the piece of soft cotton candy out to Drew, her face clearly stating to eat it, or else.
"No way." Drew shook his head.
"Aw, but it's so good! I promise you'll like it!" May said coyly, and smiled sweetly at him. The girl running the cotton candy booth giggled at the two, and immediately pulled out a camera from who knows where, startling the other customers. She aimed it directly at the two, and stood patiently in the same spot, almost as if she was carved of stone, waiting good-naturedly for the ideal time to snap a picture. It seemed, people working on the ship had an odd obsession for cameras…
"Just eat it!" May protested, trying to put the stuff in Drew's mouth, but he was persistent and tightly shut. She pulled back, and Drew opened an eye to look at her. Her sapphire eyes were sad, and, what appeared to be tears in her eyes. He looked alarmed; he hated seeing a girl cry. He, internally, threw away his pride, and sighed.
"Fine…" He mumbled, and May grinned at him, tears completely gone. He rolled his eyes, and internally scolded himself at falling for such a trick. Sighing, once again, he opened his mouth, and May gleefully put a piece in, giggling as her face was alit with radiance, making her glow.
With a snap, the girl took a picture and giggled, squealing to herself. She flipped on the menu, and returned to her pictures, eyeing the photograph she had just snapped. Staring at it, she cheerfully gave another coo, a loud one at that, which caused Drew and May to turn to her. She motioned them over, and the two glanced at each other, before turning to walk over to her.
"Yes…?" May asked, curious as to why the girl was frothing with happiness.
"Would you like a copy of this picture? I can have it printed for you, if you'd like!" She smiled, handing them the camera. Drew and May took one glance at it, before turning bright shades of scarlet. They stared at the photograph, in which May's eyes were polished a perfect, sapphire blue, which could possibly have outshone even the finest jewel, a wide, open smile almost as if she was saying 'ahh' to Drew, whose eyes were closed, mouth open, cheeks a light shade of cherry color, as May fed him the fluffy pink candy.
"Um, sure…" May said, and before she knew it the girl swiped the camera from her hand and grinned, almost evilly in a sense, and nodded before walking towards the back of the booth and hooking the camera up to the laptop she kept on hand, a small printer specifically made to print photos in regular sizes off the laptop. The printer was on, and began to move as it printed out, on regular glossy paper, a photograph, and then another. She handed the two to May and Drew.
"Have a nice night!" She waved enthusiastically and wildly as the two left the booth.
Brendan watched from another booth, gritting his teeth, while a several girls murmured angrily amongst each other, each holding small books and pens and photographs, before running off in the other direction.
The three small groups wandered together before meeting up in front of a large, buffet table where Max and Brock were situated, eating away.
"May!" Misty cried, then blinked. "MAY!" She screeched angrily, and Dawn sweatdropped as May began to back up. Ash, Paul and Drew had already sat down, and the five watched with interest.
"Don't kill me, please! I'd like to live to twenty-one!" May whimpered, as Dawn attempted to stop Misty from destroying May. She stood between the two, and sweatdropped again.
"Why twenty-one?" Dawn asked.
"So I can drink, get myself drunk silly, then I won't even feel death when Misty gets me!" May said, almost as if her logic was completely sane. Which, in a sense, it was. And yet…
"MAY!" Misty pushed Dawn aside, and tackled May in a fierce hug. "You are my best friend!"
Dawn stared at Misty in shock, and May, patted Misty's back cautiously and confusedly.
"I know…?" She said, unsure of herself.
"I'll explain later!" Misty said, holding up a small envelope. She winked, and the other two grinned.
"Well then, let's eat!" May said, laughing as she sat down at the large, circular table covered with a white cloth, eating her candy sweet cotton and laughing and exchanging smiles with the friends, and family, around her. They'd walked around with each other, before all of them piled into a random photo booth, and depositing several coins, took silly pictures of each other, stuffed in that small box, all eight of them laughing as they portrayed their silly pictures, before picking up the strip outside, pointing and giving amused smiles to their faces.
Life was perfect, it seemed.
