CHAPTER 19 TAKE 1. ACTION!

Normal POV

The group of friends sat at their table in the café awaiting their orders to be ready. The group was not quite complete though, missing their short haired brunette and arrogant 'grasshead' as he was often referred to. The girls were making small talk and the guys, well they sat their listening to girls talk about hot celebrities, outfits, boys, who's dating who and more girl stuff that Misty was not into.

"I can't take it anymore!" Misty shouted as she stood up slamming her hands on the table. The sudden outburst caused everyone in the quiet café to stare at her. She scratched the back of her head ignoring the giggles that her band mates were very poorly trying to hide. "Heh, sorry about that. Just go back to your normal lives, ignore me." Sitting back down slowly, she slammed her head on the table.

"Smooth one Red." Misty glared and Gary for his comment. Gary raised his hands in surrender and let out a sigh. "I agree with you though, all of this girl talk is driving me insane. Can we please talk about something different?"

"Fine," Dawn said pausing for a minute, tapping her index finger on her chin. "I know," she stopped tapping her finger and crossed her arms leaning them on the table, "we need to figure out a way to get May to be allowed to stay."

"You missing a key thing though Troublesome. You have no idea why her parents don't want her here; if we knew that it'd be easy." Paul said looking up revealing his face from under his mop of hair and hood for the first time since they had arrived. Upon hearing this Dawn pouted.

"Well I somewhat know, remember the first day we were here and May said that it was awesome because she was away from her parents?" Leaf sat up from her slouch in the chair. They all gave some sort of yes before she continued, "well she said she would tell us why later and she did tell us girls except, I was the only one fully awake."

"Oh I remember that too," Iris face lit up. "Wasn't it something along the lines of following in their footsteps?" Leaf nodded.

"There problem solved! Let's celebrate with cake!" Ash beamed with glee, a smile plastered onto his face. Paul lifted his hand and positioned it behind Ash's head before smacking him causing Ash's head to go slamming into the table. "Ow."

"The problem isn't solved. I mean we sti-" Leaf was cut off by the sound of doors slamming open and the bells chiming on the door meaning it has been opened. All heads turned to the doors where the grasshead they were missing not long ago stood, okay stood crouched over panting and completely out of breath.

Drew walked, hunched over still trying to catch his breath, to the table where his roommates sat. He pulled up a chair and collapsed in it. Flipping his hair out of his face he held up his black Samsung Galaxy SIII between his index and middle fingers and thumb. Everyone looked at him confused. He selected the video of his prank and gave it to Leaf, who was in the middle of everyone seated. "Watch it." the group of friends gathered around Leaf still confused as to what was going on.

As the video played through, there were snickers coming from the boys, which earned them glares from the girls. Finally they reach the part where May was talking to her parents. "Hey this is what we wer-" Ash was shushed by the others.

Once the video finished they all sat back down at their seats. Their waitress had returned with their large order, giving the boys a flirtious smile hoping to get something out of. With no avail she left giving glares at the girls whom she obviously thought were their girlfriends. Each of them now sipping on a hot drink except for Drew, who ordered a green tea, and discussing how to get May's parents to allow her to stay.

As they were talking, a phone started chiming.

By every sigh and scream we make
All the feelings that I get
But I still don't miss you yet
Only when I stop to think about it
I hate everything about you

Drew picked up his phone quickly and answered it. "Hello...um ya...we're at the café...we were told to leave the room remember...okay" the waitress that had delivered the drinks earlier returned with Drew's drink and placed it on the table, Drew mouthed a thanks and winked at her, causing her to blush before walking away. "Uh ya give us like 10 minutes and we should be back...alright see ya." He hung up the call and looked up at the others after putting the phone back in his coat pocket.

"It was May wasn't it?" Drew gave Dawn a confused look to as how she knew.

"Uh ya...how did you, never mind. She wants us to head back to the room." Everyone nodded and stood up putting their coats back on and grabbing their drinks. Gary went up to pay and the others waited at the door.

"Dude if you're going to make everyone have a ring tone you might want to think about changing Mays so that not everyone knows how much you love her." Paul joked, patting Drew on the back. Drew flushed and Cilan came up and put and arm around his cousin.

"Aaaawww, is my wittwe cousin in wove?" he said in an attempt cute voice, causing Drew to grow even redder.

Drew shook off Cilan's arm and swatted Paul's arm away. "I don't love her and I don't understand why you would think that!"

Cilan laughed at his cousins antics and Paul just smirked putting his hood back up to cover the top half of his face. Gary returned after paying for the drinks giving everyone back their change (they gave him money to pay before he went to pay).

They returned to the room to see May sitting in her beanbag chair and eating a bowl of noodles. She was watching a contest from the Johto region, which Dawn went and watched with her immediately. "How was the café?" She asked the group as they hung their jackets in the closet by the door.

"Interesting, we thought of a plan to get you to stay." Misty said as she kicked off her shoes. Heading over to her beanbag chair, unamused to as what they were watching.

May swallowed the noodles she had just put in her mouth before responding, "but my parents need to approve of me staying otherwise I'm screwed so are you girls."

Gary smirked, "Oh we know. We planned this completely, just like our pranks this morning." May smiled although she was not happy about the reminder of the pranks that the guys had pulled on them this morning; let's say that is not the preferred way to wake up in the morning, especially to those that are not morning people.

"Alright," May sat up placing her now empty bowl on the coffee table. "What's the plan?"

The week was going according to plan; May's parents had talked to her teachers to see how she was doing, check. The girls had written a new song, check. The lighting and sound was being tested for the performance on Friday night, check. There was just one last thing they needed to prove to May's parents; this was the tough one.

"Okay how are we supposed to pull this one off, I mean there is no one that my parents will like enough to listen to, let alone compromise with!" May yelled as the girls headed into the stands after practicing their new song in the auditorium. The boys came in, making a very dramatic entrance, just as she said this.

"Fear not we have a solution! Because we are...Damnit! We still need a band name!" Gary said as he stood center stage with a bright light shining on him. Paul came up pushing him off balance from his stance.

"I know we don't genius, which is why I have been saying it for the last month." Paul said as Gary regained his balance and tried to continue his pose which just wasn't working anymore after the stumble. Paul hopped off the stage, landing in front of Dawn.

"Oh my Arceus! That is another thing that we need!" Dawn screamed once she realized they need a name to seem more 'professional'. "How do we forget that?"

"Damn, what could we use?" Misty asked standing up and stretching after sitting down on the cushioned seat.

Now Drew hopped off of the stage, "I have actually been thinking about that, well it is just an idea I thought of once I knew what we needed to keep Airhead over there here." He paused for a minute after earning a glare from May. "I was thinking maybe Angel's Light." Dawn's face was priceless, she loved the name by the expression she had.

"We I was actually thinking about it too, and had the idea of having a flower in the name." Leaf said with a cute smile, "Although I do like the name."

"You would like flowers to be in the name now wouldn't you Ms. Leaf." Said Drew with a smirk. There were chuckles coming from everyone but Ash and Leaf.

"I don't get it..." Ash stated, obviously having no idea with what was going on. Leaf explained the joke to him and he laughed.

"So who agrees on the name Angel's Light for the band?" May asked. Everyone raised their hands. "Then it is settled, we have a name!" the girls squealed for a moment before re-entering reality. "We should go get ready for tonight, and leave you boy's to practice your own song." The girls waved good bye to the boys before heading out the door of the auditorium.

On their way back to the dorm, the girls saw May's parents, who were walking over to them. "Hey girls," Caroline said with a cheerful smile. "Are you preforming tonight?"

"Hi Mr. and Mrs. Maple." The girls other than May beamed, May stayed quiet for a moment.

"Hey mom, dad, ya we are preforming, we just finished rehearsing now we're going to go get ready." Leaf, Misty and Dawn were slowly walking ahead still facing May. May was slowly walking with them now too, trying to escape her parents before the performance.

"Alright, we will see you after the show then." Norman said trying to drag his wife away from the girls, clearly seeing they need to go get ready and don't have time to talk.

"Bye," they all said in unison as the waved and started running towards their dorm room.

Drew's POV

Okay, Drew you can do this. We have finished practicing for tonight and you already know what outfit you are going to wear. Now this is just a matter of getting the courage to do this. I mean you told the guys you were just going to check what time we should be going on from Cynthia, and you do need to do that it is just a matter of going to the room close by in hope that this works.

I had already got the time we were preforming; around 8:45 and the girls or as I should now call them Angel's Light are preforming after us. But enough about performances, I need to talk to May's parents, and this is important.

I had arrived at their door for the room they were staying in and leaving tomorrow morning. I knocked a few times and instantly froze, oh no, now what, I don't remember what to say at all! This could be bad. My thoughts of panic were interrupted by May's mom opening the door. "Hi Drew sweetie, shouldn't you be getting ready?" damn she is sweet.

"Um actually I was hoping that I could talk to you and Mr. Maple." I said calmly even though I am freaking out inside.

"Of course sweetheart," she gestured for me to enter the room. I entered and sat down where she told me to. "Norman dear, come to the living room." She called for her husband, just breath Drew, just in and out. It'll be fine.

"Um was it Paul?" Norman asked as he came out. I stood up acknowledging him. I stuck out my hand in which he took. He had quite the grip actually.

As we were shaking hands I thought I should introduce myself since he thought I was Paul. "Actually, Andrew Hayden, Drew for short." He nodded now that he knew who I was. He let go .of my hand and we sat down

"So what do you need Drew?" He asked.

"I wanted to talk to you about May and letting her stay here."

"Okay, continue."

"Well we have been living in the same room for half a year now, and I um guess, I um," Damnit I'm ruining this for myself!

"AAAAWWWWWW, you like my little Maybelle!" her mom squealed with excitement, well at least her mom likes you.

"Is that true Andrew?" Norman asked in his stern voice like he did when he first arrived here on Sunday. I nodded my head slowly; I could feel my whole face on fire. "Well tell me about this then, what do you like about her?"

I swallowed my salvia trying to wet my throat to speak. "I don't quite know, she's fun to tease and her smile is genuine. And her laugh, personality, how she seems to like to kill me." The last one earned a chuckle from both parents. "And I was just wondering if you could let her stay so that I actually have a chance with her because every time I try to ask her, something just gets in the way."

I looked up at Caroline who was smiling so big I didn't think it was humanly possible, and then at Norman, I could see the small smile on his face too, even though he was trying to hide it. "We'll take it into consideration." Norman said as he stood up, I followed his action and stood. "I have to say thank you, because May was teased before she became friends with the other girls. You see, she grew up in the country and when we moved the other kids teased her for her accent because they thought it was funny, since they were little. She is waiting for the right person to come in to tell this stuff to because only her band mates know about that and she refuses to tell other people. So don't tell her I told you this. If you tell her you like her, you might just get her to open up a bit more. Good luck."

"So does that mean she is staying?" Damnit why did I say that.

"Possibly Drew, now you should go get ready you have a performance tonight. We'll see you tonight." Caroline told me in her sweet voice. I nodded and thanked them before heading back to the dorm to get ready.

Normal POV (again)

Everyone was waiting in the living room getting ready to leave; the girls were just putting the finishing touches to their outfits. Iris was ready to go wearing a pair of black skinny jeans, with a button up cream coloured shirt; she had the sleeves rolled up to her elbows. To finish her look she wore a pair of beige ballet flats with a simple black bow on the top. She had a few gold bracelets around her wrist and a small gold chain hanging loosely from her neck.

Dawn was wearing black tights that ended around her knee underneath a pink and black plaid skirt, she wore a pair of pink kitten heals that had small pink gems on the straps. She wore a pink top that had three layers of ruffles and a black cardigan. She let her hair down to its usual straight but had her bangs pulled back with a pink headband. She wore a small black chain with a black heart on it. The black heart on the chain had a small skull and cross bones.

Leaf had on a pair of dark blue flared jeans and green converse, she wore a black tank top underneath a white off the shoulder shirt with green writing that said 'rock on' with a green hand giving the rock on hand (the one with your middle and ring finger curled and your index and pinky finger up). She had her hair let loose and flowing down her back. To finish her look she wore her green and black Fossil wrist watch. Misty wore almost the same thing as Leaf except with light blue jeans, baby blue converse and her tank top was white while her shirt was a black V-neck that had an outline of a Starmie in a pale blue. Her hair was pulled into her usual side ponytail.

May wore a red and black plaid shirt tied at the bottom in the front so that it wasn't super loose, she wore a pair of ripped back jeans and brown boots that went just below the knee, and she had her usual red bandanna on and her usual hairstyle.

Cilan was wearing dark blue jeans with a white V-neck and White and black high-tops. Over his shirt he wore a black and white pull over sweater. He had his hair spiked upwards in the front as usual (I'm using the more game like appearance of him where his hair is spiked).

Ash wore a white dress shirt with thin barely visible blue lines with a black sweater vest on top of it. He wore dark blue jeans, his favourite and 'lucky' pair as he calls them with blue DC skate shoes. Gary had the same shoes as Ash, only a purple version with a black V-neck and light purple baggy jeans. He wore his hair as spikey as usual, a white pendent around his neck and a purple wristband on each arm.(A/N: the outfit he wears in Leaf Green and Fire Red except with purple shoes).

Paul wore a black t-shirt with a light weight, black running sweater with two red lines going up each arm on the side. He wore dark blue jeans and red high-tops with black laces. Around his neck he wore a pair of black and red Sony ZX series headphone with the cord going under his shirt and plugged into his phone.

Drew wore his purple and green Osiris high tops with black jeans. He wore a navy blue long sleeve shirt with an unbuttoned purple t-shirt overtop. Like Paul he wore the same type of headphones around his neck although he had his custom made to be black and green.

"Ready to go guys?" May asked the group after applying her lip gloss.

"Ya we've been ready for the last 20 minutes but you girls take forever." Paul spat at her standing up from his usual spot in the living room.

"Well excuse us for wanting to look good," Dawn replied to him as she headed for the door. It was 8:25 and the group left the dorm hoping to get there a few minutes ahead of the boys performance time do that they could get everything set up the way they like it to be.

They arrived in the auditorium and Iris and Cilan left to go to the audience as usual. The girls sat back stage and Ash began drumming the air with his drumsticks. Paul and Gary took out there guitars for the cases and plugged them into the amp. While the boys got ready Cynthia was thanking the group that just was on and introducing the boys, yet to be named, band. Once they heard their names Ash, Drew, Gary and Paul went up on stage, they each grabbed a microphone and Gary and Paul placed their guitars on the respective stands. They walked to the front of the stage well Ash put his drumsticks on a rest on the drums telling them to stay before running up with the rest of the group.

"Okay guys, so tonight we were told we could preform 2 songs so we are preforming the one we have just recently wrote as well as a song that was written a little while ago but we finally decided to play it for you guys." Gary announced to the screaming crowd. The girls back stage watched them through the side stage behind the curtain.

Drew raised his microphone and spoke next, "So the first song is the new song and was written by Paul here." As he said Paul's name he ruffled their purple haired friends head causing his hair to get messed up. Paul grabbed his arm and shoved it down and shook his head so the hair went back into place. "Ow, anyways then the second song was written by all of us. So enjoy." They all went to a different part on stage, Ash in the center a bit to the right, Paul in the center as well but to the left, Gary took the spot beside Ash towards the right more and Drew the same as Gary but on the left side of the stage. Once in position, the music that they had recorded for this during their last period began to play. (A/N: Another Way Out by Hollywood Undead)

[All (Ash):]Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, (I wish there was another way out)

[Gary:]Voices won't go away
They stay for days and days
They say some awful things, ways to make you fade away
I don't think no one's home
And we're just here alone
I better find you first, before you find the phone

The boys moved around stage as they performed, making all the girl swoon over them. They seemed like they had done this for years and it was a song that they knew forever.

[Gary:]You better run, better run, better run, yeah I'm coming after you
When you're sleeping at night, yeah there's nothing you can do
There's no place you can hide cause I'm coming after you

[Ash:] I wish there was another way ou-ou-ou-ou-oooouuuut for you
I wish there was another way ou-ou-ou-ou-oooouuuut for you

[Ash (All):]I wish there was another way out (whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh)
I wish there was another way out (whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh)
I wish there was another way out

[Paul:]You go up check and see
No one cares less than me
Dead wrong I guess you'll be
These voices won't let you leave
Got you down on bending knee
What should my next weapon be?
It's over you can't breathe
Just sit down, rest with me

You better run, better run, better run, yeah I'm coming after you
When you're sleeping at night, yeah there's nothing you can do
There's no place you can hide cause I'm coming after you

[Ash:] I wish there was another way ou-ou-ou-ou-oooouuuut for you
I wish there was another way ou-ou-ou-ou-oooouuuut for you

[Drew:]Break you down, now put it back together again
I'll break you down, now put it back together again
Break you down, now put it back together again
I'll break you down, now put it back together again

[Ash (all):]I wish there was another way out (whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh)
I wish there was another way out (whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh)
I wish there was another way out

They finished their first song and the crowd went wild, it wasn't what they usually did. They either did a rap or rock but this was a rap/rock mixture, different but it was loved. Once they finished they went to their respective instrument getting them ready. Once ready they took position, Ash at his drum, Drew was playing guitar (the school lent him for back up to Paul), Paul on guitar and Gary at center stage with his bass. A mic was placed in front of Gary by the stage crew and Paul started up the music soon followed by the others. (Dirty Little Secret by All American Rejects) (Anything in brackets is Drew)

[Gary:]Let me know that I've done wrong
When I've known this all along
I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you

Tell me all that you've thrown away
Find out games you don't wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret

Who has to know
When we live such fragile lives
It's the best way we survive
I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you

Tell me all that you've thrown away
Find out games you don't wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret

Who has to know
The way she feels inside (inside)
Those thoughts I can't deny (deny)
These sleeping thoughts won't lie (won't lie)
And all I've tried to hide
It's eating me apart
Trace this life out

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret)

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret
Dirty little secret
Dirty little secret

Who has to know
Who has to know

The Boys finished and the crowd cheered, they left the stage and headed to where the girls now stood. "So?" Gary asked Leaf well brining her into a bear hug.

"it was good now let go of me I need to perform." Gary did as he was asked, he kissed her forehead and she went with the girls on stage to perform. The boys headed to the curtain in which the girls had watched from to watch the performance that they were going to give. May had told them it was different than usual and that she had wrote the song herself. Since no one had heard a song that May had wrote thy all wanted to hear it.

May took the microphone from Cynthia after she finished announcing the band and their new name. "hey everyone, so tonight is a special night but I can't want to tell you why but, I would also like to introduce you to my parents." A spot light shined over Norman and Caroline and they both smiled. "So we're performing a song that I wrote today, and it is different from what we usually do but it suits me more in this situation I'm in currently." Dawn put her acoustic guitar's strap on her shoulder and positioned it for playing, Leaf got her violin prepared to play making sure that the strings wouldn't break this time when she played, and Misty sat behind her drum set hitting a few of the drums to warm up. They all nodded to May to signal they were ready to play. And on cue, they began the song. (I'm only me when I'm with you by Taylor Swift) (I changed some of the lyrics to make it not about a couple but about May and her band)

[May] Friday night beneath the stars
In a field behind your yard
You and I are paintin' pictures in the sky
And sometimes we don't say a thing
Just listen to the crickets sing
Everything I need is right here by my side
And I know everything about you
I don't wanna live without you

I'm only up when you're not down
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground
It's like no matter what I do
Well you drive me crazy half the time
The other half I'm only trying to let you know
That what I feel is true
And I'm only me when I'm with you

Just a group of us four girls
Livin' in a crazy world
Tryin' to figure out what is and isn't true
And I don't try to hide my tears
The secrets or my deepest fears
Through it all nobody gets me like you do
And you know everything about me
You say that you can't live without me

When I'm with anybody else, it's so hard to be myself
Only you can tell

That I'm only up when you're not down
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground
It's like no matter what I do
Well you drive me crazy half the time
the other half I'm only trying to let you know
that what I feel is true

And I'm only me
Who I wanna be
Well, I'm only me when I'm with you
With you

Uh huh
Yeah

The girls finished and the crowd went crazier than they did with the boys. May thanked everyone and had a group hug with the other girls. They left the stage and she got a hug from the boys excluding Paul. They sat around back stage and were joined by Iris and Cilan.

"So what do you think will happen with your parents May?" Gary asked May who was sitting across from him. She shrugged her shoulders and let out a sigh.

"I honestly don't know, but you all need to promise me something."

"Alright, what do we need to promise you?" Cilan asked her fixing himself to sit more upright.

"You all need to promise me that no matter what happens, we will be friends and that you will be the best in whatever you are going into, and boys you also need to promise me that you will make great competitors for us when we are older."

"So does that mean we aren't good enough to be rival bands now?" Ash asked her, pretending to be hurt.

"Of course it does." She put a grin across her face jokingly. The stage door opened to reveal May's parents standing there with Cynthia. Each teen knew what this meant; this was either going to be the biggest group hug ever or the biggest group hug ever and a good bye.

May's smile dimmed and her face filled with worry, her parents walked up to her and she stood up from her chair. Everyone was silent, you could hear a mouse reading a newspaper and drinking a coffee if you listened carefully. The roommates of dorm M-26 were all sitting there eagerly waiting an answer.

"Well May, we have thought about it all week. We have taken in all the pros in cons and your academics. We even talked to other students about you. We decided." Her father began. Everyone's breath slowed drastically.

"May, we have decided that you are..."

DON'T KILL ME PLEASE! I JUST HAD TO MAKE ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER! IT MAKES IT HAVE SO MUCH SUSPESE! AND YES I KNOW YOU ALL HATE ME BUT IF YOU KILL ME THAN YOU WILL NEVER FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENS IN THE NEXT CHAPTER OR THE REST OF THE STORY!

Phew, now that I have calmed you I can say yes I know that I am horrible for this but it was getting so long and it has taken me 2 days to write.

So I will do that same thing as last time, if I get enough reviews I will update again this month but I am going to change it and make it 15 reviews since it is the start of the 2nd semester for me and that means I'll be focusing on school for a while.

Also, to all of those that haven't checked out my profile, you can vote on the boys' band name if you would like. I would appreciate it if you did so that I can get another opinion of the viewers of my story for things that go on in it

I'm going to let you go now because this is the third day of my meet and I have finals tonight, I must go prepare for them. So long, Take Care; be prepared for my next chapter
