Hello lovely readers! So I went MIA for a while... I offer no valid excuses. So I found this chapter on my flash drive and decided to post it. Anyway this chapter is dedicated to Claudette14 because I simply adored you're last review!

"Okay Leaf, you ready?" I asked. We were all ready and about to leave the suite.
"I don't know, this isn't like you at all. So, what's the catch? This is something that I would have suggested. I mean crashing a party is one thing, but crashing a wedding? Would you want someone crashing your wedding? I don't think so."
Okay, so maybe I shouldn't have told her that we were crashing a wedding, but it wasn't that far of a stretch. I mean it was an anniversary party… even if it was her own. I should have told her something a bit less special, like a sweet sixteen or maybe a twenty-first. But then again I doubt Elizabeth and I could have gotten her into that kind of dress to crash a birthday. She would have wanted to wear jeans or something. So, I guess it was okay that she was second guessing this. I mean at least she was starting to think before she did something possibly stupid.
"Oh come on, it'll be fun. Plus it'll take your mind off of you know who." Even though he happens to be the most adorable boyfriend in the history of the world, which is excluding Drew. Because, as it turns out, this whole thing was Drew's idea and he was just letting Gary take the credit. Come on, how adorable is Drew? I think very.
I mean I doubt that Drew would have done something to this extent for me. Then again he did gave me a necklace that cost somewhere in the seven digit range. Maybe he would have done something even bigger for me. Probably something like a party with all of the top coordinators and champions. Nah, Drew knew that that wasn't my style, so maybe he would just like… I don't even know. Then again why am I even thinking about this? Drew and I weren't even dating and I was already thinking about our six month anniversary. Then again my birthday was coming up coming up in a few months…
"Well okay then what are we waiting for? Let's go crash a wedding. Wait! Did we get them a gift? I mean people are going to give us weird looks if we walk in and don't put a gift on the table." Wow I was shocked that Leaf even thought about that. She was really maturing, or at least thinking more.
"Don't worry, I have everything taken care of. I even scored us an invite." I flashed the legit looking invitation that Elizabeth gave me. I swear that woman thought of everything the guys forgot.
I actually didn't know she was in on the plan until she pulled me aside, when Leaf was trying on a dress of course. And she also informed me that Drew's older sisters were involved with the scheme and that I would finally get the chance to meet them later, which actually really scared me; seeing as none of the girls in Drew's family were anything alike. The twins were scary. The younger twins were all opposites of each other. I still have no clue what the guys are like. And Drew's mom was one of the most proper people I have ever met, but was also laid back at the same time. Lastly, Drew was just insane and incomprehensible. So, based on prior knowledge and experience, I was either going to really like Drew's sisters, or they were going to hate my guts.
"And just how did you manage to score an invite?"
"It just so happens that I'm not technically crashing this wedding. The people are really close family friends." Which was partly true considering how I was related to Leaf, and Gary was a close family friend, so it's not a lie at all?
"So I'm the only one crashing?"
"No, not really, seeing as I wasn't technically invited in the first place." It's true, Drew and Gary never invited me. They just assumed I would show up with Leaf and then stay. "This invite was meant for someone else and just happened to never make it to them."
"Ooh, we really are related. Okay then, let's go baby cousin. I want to get there before the dancing starts."

"Okay, it's right through these doors."
"Let's make a grand entrance," she extended her hand to me. "Shall we Maybelle?"
"Shut up Leaf," I smiled, "and yes, we shall." Since this is your party and all…
We each pushed open a door and-
"SURPRISE!" screamed a chorus of people.
"What the hell!?"
Gary stepped out of the crowd, walked over to her, and said, "Hey there Leafy, happy anniversary sweetie." And then he kissed her forehead.
Aww! I always thought that the whole forehead kiss was simply adorable!
"No way," she managed to say.
"Better believe it. Gary and Drew spent the whole day planning this for you, but it was mostly Gary. Drew just helped with decorations." I said.
"I did more than just that!" complained Drew, who somehow appeared next to me.
"Of course you did sweetie, just keep telling yourself that." I grabbed his hand and lead him away from the mass of people.
"You are the worst girlfriend in the history of the world." He murmured to me.
Hold the phone! Girlfriend? Yeah I wish, but that was a pathetic attempt at asking me out. And a girl has to have standards. Then again Drew was probably just messing with me because seriously, I know for a fact that if/when he asks me out it will blow my mind, in a good way.
"So, since when am I your girlfriend?" Just thought that I should be informed too since you know I'm half of this couple.
"Eh, since forever." Huh, forever…sounds like a long time to not know that I was in a relationship.
"Way to be cocky, and if this is your way of asking me out then you have a whole other thing coming for you." I walked off over to the bar for a drink. I stole a quick glance back and a girl with green hair walked up to Drew and started talking. I stopped and stayed where I was because I could hear them, and I wanted to spy a little.
"Yeah, Drew! That's no way to ask out my future little sister-in-law. It should be somewhere magical and princess like. Ooo like on a beach at sunset!"
"Not princess like, that's not May's thing."
"Really? Considering she's in contests and the fact that she put together a Pokémon contest beauty pageant, I just assumed she was girly."
"She is girly, just not like you are, as in extreme."
"I am not extreme, every little girl wanted to be a princess at one point or another. It's not my fault that I actually found a prince to marry."
"Oh so you're getting married now?"
"Oh yes, I got engaged last week. The wedding is set for May."
"Did someone just call me?" Yep that was my entrance into the conversation. A bit weak, but still it worked. I walked over to the pair.
"No, my sister was just saying that her wedding is set for May." He shot me a weird look, and then I remembered that I was going to get a drink and currently there was no drink in my hand. Oops!
"And both of you will be attending of course. My fiancé Prince William will just be delighted to meet you. By the way I'm Wilhelmina. It's lovely to finally meet you May."
"It's nice to meet you too! And no way Drew, you're going to be related to royalty."
"What do you mean going to be? Didn't Drew ever tell you that we're related to the Presdales?"
"Presdales? As in Dawn's family?"
"But of course! The Presdales go way back in royal family history. And we aren't really directly related, it's more like our cousin married Prince Alexander."
"That's funny, Dawn never mentioned that she was royal."
"She doesn't like to talk about it. It was actually quite a tragic story. You should ask her about it some time." said Wilhelmina.
"Wow, well that's something I never would have thought I'd learn tonight, or ever for that matter." I said.
"Yeah, I apologize for her. She likes to gossip a lot."
"It's not gossip if it's true baby brother! And we'll have to chat again later, right now I must go find William." And with that she glided away quite gracefully. Man, I wish I could walk like that!
"Wow, I really like your sister. She's all lady-like and stuff."
"Well that makes one of you."
"Hey! That's not nice!" I slapped his arm. "But on a side note, is what she said true?"
"Well, yes."
"Dawn never mentioned anything to me."
"It's the same concept as what I did to you about not telling you about my family. She didn't find the need to share the information, and plus she doesn't really want to be treated differently."
"I guess you're right."
"Of course I am." I rolled my eyes.
We got our drinks and walked over to a table in the far corner of the room.
"Hey there's my little bro-in-law. Of course you would be hiding out away from everyone. What's up man?"
"OH MY GAWD YOU'RE RELATED TO LANCE?!" I screamed. Then I blushed after realizing what I just blurted out made me sound like the biggest fan girl in the universe. "Um, what I meant to say was that umm… wow."
"Well, not yet he's not." A pretty girl with green hair (I mean what other color hair would she have? She's a Hayden after all) walked up to us. "Hi May, I'm Liza. It's nice to finally meet you."
"No way, you're the famous Liza?"
"Famous? I don't think so."
"No I mean, Ash told me about you!"
"Oh, so you know Ash too?"
"Oh course she knows Ash," said Lance. "Ash knows the entire world last time I checked." I laughed. It was true.
"He and Misty are here somewhere." I informed him.
"Misty Waterflower?" questioned Lance.
"Yeah, that's the one."
"No way! Come on Lance I want to go see Ash again and meet Misty! See you later guys!" Liza grabbed Lance's hand and dragged him off.
I stood up and extended my hand to Drew. "Well, come on. We have some major mingling to do."
"Do I really have to?" He brushed my hand off and stood up on his own.
"Well, since you planned this whole thing, and I had to dress up, the answer is yes. Let's go."
"I really do like that dress."
So did I, it was my signature color, red. It was a sexy yet elegant one shoulder style dress made of chiffon. Then an empire waist was completely covered with a mixture of silver sequins and crystals. The sequins and crystals together would normally look really tacky, but the way they were weaving and entwined with one another made it look good. The dress hemline hit me about two inches above the knee.
"Well, you aren't looking too bad yourself." Drew was wearing a classic black tuxedo jacket with matching trousers. His jacket was unbuttoned, revealing a silver four button vest and a slightly darker silver tie. So in conclusion, he looked hot, really hot.
"Now let's go, two sisters down, and three to go. "
"You plan on meeting all of my sisters… in one night?"
"That's the plan."
"Don't you want to hang out with your friends instead?"
"Don't worry about it, at this rate I'll have met all your sisters and their boyfriends before eight."
*montage of May meeting the other sisters*
"Hey Katrina!"
"Hey there May! Oh and hey there little brother!"
"So how have the Pokémon been?"
"Oh great!"
"Hey there little Drewboo!"
"Hey there Sunrisa, this is May."
"It's nice to finally meet Drew's girlfriend!"
"I'm not Drew's girlfriend, not yet anyways."
"Wait, he hasn't asked you out yet?"
"Thank you! Someone who's thinking the same thing as me!"
"Oh Drewbie bear!"
"Oh geez, hi Mariah."
"Yeah, yeah whatever. So May, word on the street is that you two are going to the rose islands together because you're going to elope. Any truth to that?"
"Umm, what!?"
"Oh… and I was soooo looking forward to crashing the wedding."
*end of montage*
"Oh my god I want to curl up in a ball and sleep!" I complained. I heard a chuckle from behind me and spun around. "Eek! Ash! Omg!" I threw my arms around him in a hug.
"Hey May, how's it going?"
"Pretty well, except for Drew who's being, well Drew."
"There you are Ash!"
"Oh my god! Misty!"
"Hey May! What's up?" Misty was wearing an adorable soft yellow dress. It was a one shoulder neckline that was embellished with a thin line of crystals that gave way to a ruched bodice that was then underlined by an empire waist that was another thin line of crystals. The waist then flowed into a chiffon A-line skirt that hit her just above the knees.
"My date's missing." I replied.
"No I'm not. I got you a drink." Drew handed me a strawberry daiquiri with a little umbrella. Yum! And super cute!
"Anyway May," said Ash. "You can't be tired yet everyone's here and dying to know why you never told any of us that you're dating Drew."
Misty hit her forehead with her hand. "Ash! What have I taught you about minding your own business?"
"…ugh that other people's relationships aren't my problem."
Drew leaned in and whispered "She has him wrapped around her finger." I giggled. It was soo true.
"What was that remark Andrew?" questioned Misty.
"You are so busted," I said. "And on your own for this one. I'll catch you guys later!" I twirled around and skipped away from what was about to be one mess of an argument.
Drew's pov
"Okay," said Ash, "May's out of hearing range now."
"So what did you want to talk about?" Questioned Misty.
"I need some advice. I don't know how I should ask May out."
"Just go and ask her right now!" replied Ash. "I mean it's not like she's going to say no.
"That was horrible advice," countered Misty. "What you should do is this: After the party tonight, suggest you two go for a little walk outside on the deck. Then after you two have walked for a while, holding hands of course, stop and gaze lovingly into her eyes. The moonlight will be shining on her face and you'll say 'May, will you be my girlfriend?' and then she'll scream and jump up and down and say 'yes of course!' and then you can walk back to your room and go to bed. The end"
"That was brilliant advice Misty," I said.
"I know it was because that's how I would have wanted to be asked out." Then she shot daggers at Ash.
"Really? Are you really bringing this up again? How many times can I tell you I'm sorry!"
"Nothing will help until you make it up with an amazingly romantic proposal."
"Misty, I have to break it to you, but you'll never be getting married if that's what you're waiting for," I said.
"I know," she sighed. "But you should probably get back to May now, there are a lot of people here with fabulous stories about your childhood."
May's pov
"Hey girl!"
I turned around to find a smiling Marina and a slightly awkward feeling Jimmy.
"Oh my gosh hi guys!" I gave Marina a 'I haven't seen you in forever' hug and then Jimmy a quick friendly one. "How have you two been? I don't think I've seen you since the wedding last June."
"We're great actually," said Marina. "And we have some huge news!" she was smiling from ear to ear. "We're pregnant!"
"Oh my gosh no way!" I screamed. "I'm so happy for the both of you!" then I grabbed and hugged the both of them again. "This is so great! Can the baby call me Auntie May?"
"Of course!" giggled Marina. "You seem to be almost as excited as I was when I found out."
"Well obviously! This is my first niece or nephew we're talking about! This kid is going to be spoiled rotten! And I can totally babysit! Well Drew and I can babysit, I guess we're kind of a package deal."
"He finally asked you out!" asked Marina.
"Well no, not yet anyways. But he keeps hinting about it and joking that we're a couple and it's driving me crazy!"
"Don't worry May," said Jimmy. "Drew will defiantly ask you out one of these days. Just be patient with him. I bet he's just nervous and doesn't know how to."
"Drew, nervous about something?" I questioned.
"You'd be surprised how nervous a guy can get when it has to do with the girl he loves." Then he gazed at Marina and she blushed.
They are the cutest couple ever! And they'll be the cutest family ever soon!
"Yeah may, listen to Jimmy, he knows what he's talking about. I've known him since the day I was born and it took him until three years ago to ask me out and then another whole year to ask me to marry him."
This did make me feel better, until I spotted Drew talking to THREE GIRLS! I had to go check this out.
"Well thanks for the words of wisdom guys, you both really are awesome friends and you're going to be lovely parents. And remember to hit me up if you ever need help with my little niece or nephew! Now if you'll excuse me for a moment, I've just spotted my future husband talking to three girls I don't know."
"Go easy on him May," pleaded Jimmy.
"Um, wrong!" stated Marina. "Go kick his butt into shape and show him he can't be flirting around."
"Marina! Is that the kind of advice you're going to give our child!"
"Well obviously!"
I could hear them bantering back and forth as I walked away from them, and towards Drew and the three mystery girls.
As I approached them, I concluded that the girls were related to each other. They all had the same long gorgeous black hair and that was really the only thing I could tell about them so far since their backs were towards me.
As I grew closer I could tell Drew was slightly nervous because he had his left hand in his pocket. Then he saw me. And I know he saw me because he froze and a flash of panic swept his face, but in an instant, it was gone.
"Ah May, there you are," said Drew. "I'd like to introduce you to… some old acquaintances, the Moretti sisters."
"This is Isabella." The girl on the left waved. She was wearing a short sleeveless sophisticated white lace dress.
"Hello May, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance."
"This is Sophia." The girl on the right smiled. She was wearing a short grey dress with capped sleeves, a belted empire waistline, and a sleek pencil skirt bottom.
"Hello darling, it's lovely to meet you."
"And this is Juliette." She was wearing an all black ¾ sleeve empire waist dress that had shiny black polka dots. The girl in the middle just stared at me blankly for a second before smiling.
"Hi, I'm Andrew's ex-girlfriend."
Cue dramatic earth shattering music. Tune in next time to find out what kind of drama unfolds between May and Juliette. And remember, if you liked it, review it!
