I do not own Pokémon

To say that Drew had been left speechless by the brunet's performance was an understatement. He had been completely blown away. From her daring and dare he say sexy appearance to her amazing voice and natural talent. He had wanted so badly to be one of the many males going up to her and congratulating her. He had been practically devastated when Ashley instructed him to not get near her for tonight.

As sad as he was he knew if he just presented himself to her it would only do more harm, so he was willing to bide his time. Besides the main reason he had come besides his obvious enthusiasm to see the brunet again was that tonight he would meet his old childhood friend Briana. He leaned against the bar area as he waited for his pineapple smoothie to be prepared.

He drummed his fingers on the counter remembering his auburn haired friend. She had always been a shy girl and during all their classes in elementary school she would sit alone in the back of the room. During the first semester of school she would never raise her hand, and she sat in the classroom alone while everyone played during recess. Drew never knew what propelled him to approach her, but he suspected it was due to the fact she reminded him of his sister Alexis. After they'd established a friendship the pair became inseparable and Drew found himself missing her when she transferred to a different middle school.

A smoothie had just been handed to him, and he was nearing the straw to his lips to take a sip when he felt a tap on his shoulders. He turned and found a pretty girl with auburn colored hair. She seemed to be nervous, "Drew Hayden you haven't changed at all?" Drew smirked as he flicked his emerald locks.

Briana instantly seemed to relaxed," I've missed you so much" She smiled cheekily at him. Drew smiled something he rarely seemed to do, but Briana was still as sweet as always.

Briana looked away nervously than took a seat next to him," Drew I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but… I … well I need you to pretend to bemyboyfriend." She managed to say in a rush, as she looked away blushing a deep crimson.

Drew stared at her quizzically, "Briana why exactly would you want me to do that?"

Brianna sighed in frustration her forehead wrinkled as she concentrated on how to word everything, "After I transferred to the school in Cerulean I meet someone very dear to me," her face blushed scarlet and she glanced nervously down at the table, "I had my chance to be with him and I ruined it when I failed to realize his feelings for me," A lone tear slide down her face as she gazed back sadly at Drew.

"Honestly, maybe it is too late to be with him now, but Drew I have to try I can't just give up," She reached for his hands and grasped them, "I know you would be able to understand after what happened with May."

Drew sighed yes he understood her emotions and while nothing was guaranteed with May perhaps he could help Briana, "I'll help you and I am almost positive my friends will as well."

Briana smiled gratefully and then her face turned scarlet red again. Drew turned around and saw the boy that had played May's guitar during her performance. He guessed this must be the boy Briana had to get to notice her. At that moment the boy turned to Brie's direction and Drew saw his chance he turned to Brie and planted a quick peck on her lips before he pulled away.

Briana stared dumbfounded at Drew. Drew smirked but whispered in her ear, "Play along I'm trying to make him jealous." Briana relaxed and she effortlessly played the part.

Drew took a chance and spied on James he seemed to find Briana with Drew unsettling. Drew noticed that he did seem to stare at Briana quiet often.

Drew turned to Briana," So what is the story between you two?" Briana blushed again as she seemed to do when in near presence of James or at the simple mention of his name.

Briana eyes glazed over as she reminisced," You see we grew up together, our parents were great friends at one time." She shook her head sadly before continuing.

"Our families had a falling out sometime after I moved to Paris. I don't really know what happened, but after I returned James started to ignore me." Briana shrugged and turned her glistening eyes to him," Thank you Drew anyway for your help, and everything."

Drew shrugged, "Least I can do for you. I mean we are practically family."

Briana smiled and nodded in agreement, "I think I'm going to head home Drew." Briana got up and started to head for the door, before Drew stopped her, "Hey if we wanna make this look convincing let me walk you home."

Briana shrugged,"Alright." And with that the fake couple walked out hand in hand leaving a very confused boy behind them.

Ashley

Ashley Smith woke up groggily as she heard loud banging going on at their apartment door. Who could that be she thought? She forced herself to climb out of bed she hissed as her feet touched the icy cold hardwood floor, "This better be important," she grumbled.

As she stalked into the living room she noticed that all of her roommates were there staring bewildered at Drew Hayden and May Maple staring at each other. 'Oh no!' Ashley thought this cannot be good.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" May screamed at the top of her lungs. Ashley winced at the sound. Drew kept his face expressionless, but from the look of sympathy Esme was giving him she knew that the comment obviously had hurt him.

Drew just smirked and replied in the coolest voice he could muster, "I need to ask for another favor." Drew looked around the room at all his friends. May turned on her heel and was about to stalk out of the room, but was forced to stop by Misty, Dawn, Esme, and herself.

"May sit down and listen to Drew. Trust us whatever you're mad at will probably blow over if you listen to him." Ashley said as she herself plopped down on the nearby couch where Gary and Ash were sitting. May seeming wary, but not wanting more confrontation sat down next to Dawn and Misty. Ashley noticed that she still seemed peeved.

Drew stayed standing but he kept his eyes only on May. It was almost as if none of them were there and it was just those two. Drew cleared his throat, "I'm sorry I disappeared after graduation, and I wasn't around after things ended with Sky, but there were too many personal issues that prevented me to come back."

May's facial expression softened before hardening once again, "I saw you acting all cozy with some girl at the Fruti Music Bar tonight Drew." May practically seethed.

Everyone looked in Drew's direction applaud. Ashley balled her hands into fist,' That little traitor!' her inner self screamed. While Drew simply chuckled finding the entire situation hilarious which only seemed to upset May more.

"What you saw was me helping Briana out. Turns out she's in love with your friend James. I was testing to see if he was even slightly interested in her, and from the death glare he sent me I think there's a possibility."

He looked expectantly at his friends, "Will you all help me?" Ashley sighed in relief here she was thinking the absolute worst.

She smiled at Drew, "Sure I'll help and I am sure everyone else will as well." A chorus of nods followed Ashley statement.

Drew walked over to May," Will you please forgive me?" Ashley and everyone stared at their brunet friend waiting for her answer.

May smiled at Drew before wrapping him in a hug," Of course I forgive you Drew." She muttered a blush on her face. Ashley looked at her two friends in front of her she smiled they reminded her so much of Gary and herself.

"Yay! Grass head and Maybell aren't fighting no more!" Dawn gushed happily.

"You really are loud Troublesome," Paul muttered in response to his girlfriends' sudden outburst.

Dawn giggled, "Sorry," she answered apologetically bumping him lightly on the side to which he rolled his eyes.

Ashley yawned tiredly, "Okay that is enough excitement for one day. Now let's all go to bed and tomorrow we'll start operation G.B.W.J." Every one nodded they said their goodbyes before heading off to their rooms for some much needed R&R.
