Holy fudge guys! More than 50 reviews?! SQUEE! I love all of you, I swear. It looks like I don't read them because I can't be asked to reply to them all, but seriously, every time I get an email saying that I have a new review, I go and do a dance. In my head, of course.

Also, I'm uploading BHLABB weekly, only because TCOH is going on a long hiatus until I find inspiration. I will post chapter sixteen on Christmas Eve, as a BHLABB Christmas present, and a oneshot on Christmas. Meanwhile, I'm having tons of inspiration for this, as well as some other stories for the future. Any NaLu fans here? Because I'm starting a five chapter NaLu story after this! I'm already starting work on it ;)

I don't own Pokemon, and enjoy the chapter!

Chapter Fifteen

Misty sat on the step, Dawn on one side, May on the other. The two girls stared at their ginger haired friend, and the said girl sighed and raked a hand through her messy hair.

"So…no to the cheerleading squad?"

"Well duh. Yes. They wouldn't let me in either way. And apparently they kicked Ash out for having 'connection' with me. Seriously?"

"Misty? You wanna tell us-"

"No. Not yet. It still quite new to me, too."

Dawn and May didn't question any more. They knew when Misty needed her space.

"Mate, you messed up big time. Very big."

"I agree with Paul, dude. What were you thinking, anyway?"

Ash leaned back on the door of the classroom. The three boys usually camped out in the empty classroom, sometimes to get away from the fan girls. He sighed, and his shoulders slumped miserably.

"I wasn't thinking, okay? She's too much for me."

"What do you mean? Ash is in love? Paul, am I having a weird creepy dream?"

"I'm not in love with her! I used to be best friends with her, that's all!"

"You sure? I think Drew's right. You never get this stressed out."

"Argh! Enough! Fine! Whatever! You've got me!"

"Ooh! We were right! Time for a confession!"

"What? I never said anything about a confession, Drew!"

"Ash, a confession is probably the best thing. And you need to do it in style."

"Style? What do you mean?"

Paul smirked, and glanced at Drew. They winked, before launching into a detailed description of their plan. And as they explained it, Ash's face grew more and more horrified.

Misty scooped up her books in one arm, and opened the door with the other. She was the last one out of the class, so she walked slowly, knowing no one was behind her, telling her to speed up.

Suddenly, she felt a tap on her shoulder. She whirled around, and came face to face with Serena, former queen bee of the school. Serena no longer wore her usual crop top and short skirt. She wore a cute blue dress, that reached just over mid thigh. Misty glanced at herself quickly, noting the blue top and shorts.

Misty bit her lip, remembering her old self, who wore jeans and huge jumpers. She had improved, but certainly not in the 'pretty' zone.

Rolling her eyes, Serena took Misty by the arm and dragged her to a mirror in the girls bathroom. Misty glanced curiously at Serena, confused.

"Ok, girl. I am on a mission. To get you," Serena pointed to Misty. "All ready for the life of popularity! When I'm done, you're going to blow away everyone's mind!"

"Uh, what? I don't intend to be popular, sorry. I just want to be normal."

"Oh gosh. Just look at yourself! You are no way near normal! That hair of yours stands out too much! You get noticed all the time! But my mission is to get you noticed for something good. Like 'Oh my God, she's totally pretty!' you know what I mean?"

Misty stared at Serena, who put on a high voice for her impression. Slowly, she began to smile. Just a little. Then she smirked.

"I don't have any proof of your business. Can I see a former customer?"

"Yeah, I was hoping you'd ask that. Follow me."

Misty gaped. She had expected Serena to say no. She was hoping to get out of this 'mission'.

"Are you coming or not, Misty?"

"Yeah yeah. I am."

"Plan-get-Ash-a-girlfriend is to be activated at exactly 12:30. Over."

"Drew? Seriously? We're standing in the same room. I know you're hiding in that cupboard. And why the hell are we communicating through walkie-talkies?"

"Shh. Subject 1 may hear our plans. Any objections to 12:30? Over."

"Ugh. You serious? Ash is at his locker, which is outside this room, and he already knows the plan! Can we be normal?"

"Ahh. You should have said earlier. Over."

Drew appeared from the cupboard, groaning as his stretched his legs. Paul face palmed, and threw Drew the walkie-talkie, which Drew managed to catch. After knocking two chairs over.

Ash appeared in the doorway, raising an eyebrow at Drew on the floor, holding two walkie-talkies, two chairs knocked over, and Paul sighing in disgust.

"Out of my way!"

Hurling herself through the other door, a brunette ran into the room, her arms full of textbooks, tripped over Drew, landed on top of him, and the books were strewn everywhere. The brunette paused for a moment, and realised who and where the other person was. May scrambled up quickly and started to seethe with anger.

"What are you doing? Trying to trip me up in purpose then try to smell my boobs? Ew no! I'm outta here! Ugh!"

May growled, scooped up the textbooks and stormed off.

Drew stared at her retreating figure, before frowning. Ash smirked, delighted that there was finally something to get the subject off him.

"So, a girlfriend, Drew? Huh, you never told me that May, your little tech buddy, was her."

"Shut up, Ash! She's not my girlfriend!"

"Yeah, right. I agree with Ash. For once."

"Blah blah blah! 12:30 then? Bye, losers!"

Drew walked away quickly, a blush rising in his cheeks. Ash raised an eyebrow.

"Touchy, huh? And what's with 12:30?"

"12:30 is when our plan is going to happen. Remember?"

"Like you guys would let me forget. Oh look, we're going to be late. Yeah, we are late. Oh well. Let's go."

Ash picked up his textbooks, and flicked his hair out of his eyes, before walking away. Paul smiled sadly. The plan had to work. Ash needed something to heal his heart.

"Misty, meet my first test subject, Iris."

"Hey! I'm not a test subject! Oh, hey Misty! Haven't seen ya for a while!"

"Hi, Iris. How's the newspaper going? Ooh, no one's taken my office yet."

"Yeah, we haven't found a replacement yet. The newspaper has lost some popularity since you left, though. You should come visit soon! The crew misses you!"

"Eh hem. I believe that some other stuff is more important. Like, you know, my mission?"

Misty and Iris glanced sheepishly at Serena. They had almost forgot she was there.

Slowly, Misty took a long look at Iris. She had changed. Iris now had a bob, with a small ponytail at the back. She also wore a dress similar to Serena's, but a bit longer, and it was a pale pink. Iris looked prettier.

Serena glanced at Misty's face, and grinned.

"So, mission accepted?"

"Mission accepted."

The two girls shook hands.

"We'd better go to lunch now. Iris, you coming?"

"Yep, will do! Go along, I'll catch up in ten minutes! There's a guest, so I need to sort out some recording stuff for the radio team because someone said that there's probably some juicy gossip with it!"

"Ok, bye! Good luck!"

Serena and Misty headed towards the lunch hall, and joined Dawn and May at their usual table. Dawn was awkwardly patting a furious May's back.

"May, I'm sure it was nothing! They're not going to tell anyone! I mean, if they did, it's minus points for Drew!"

"What's this about?" Misty leaned closer.

"Oh nothing important!" Dawn sang cheerfully. May glared at her.

"Nothing important?! This is totally at the top of the important-we-must-seek-revenge scale! We have to do something!"

"May, look, Drew being a pervert is nothing new."

"I guess so." May grunted, spooning some yoghurt into her mouth.

There was a loud cough from the speakers. And a squeak that made everyone wince. Then they heard Skyla's voice, bouncy and sweet. She was the normal radio presenter. But usually the school radio wasn't broadcasted to the whole school. It was only for important notices. Some of the clubs paid some money to get some advertisement sometimes, but it was rare.

"Hey guys! Today, we have a special guest! He has come in just for an important message to someone!"

Many of the heads turned away and started eating lunch again.

"And our special someone is…drumroll please! Ash Ketchum, breaking hearts- oh! Sorry! I totally forgot. Eh hem. Ash Ketchum! Welcome to the studio!"

Everyone was curious. Word had got around quickly that Ash had been kicked out of the cheer team leader.

"Hi everyone. It's me, Ash Ketchum. Um, I just want to say a little message to someone. Can I just have a few minutes of your time? Eh hem. As most people know, I don't have a prom date."

Most of the girls gasped, and leaned forward.

"And after a few years of going alone, or picking up a date, I want to ask someone. Someone, who is close to me."

Misty turned away, rolling her eyes. She started to eat her lunch, even though she was the only one who was doing so.

"She has rescued me from what I was before, that horrible disgusting playboy. She's made me realise that I shouldn't take advantage of my family situations, and to make the most of my life I have now. She's been in my life since I was four, the two of us best friends. We drifted apart after I messed up, destroyed our friendship and buried it into the ground. But she dug it up again. She makes me happy. I realise now that I was right after all. I'm Cinderella, and you're the prince."

He paused for a deep breath.

"So Misty Waterflower, I just wanted to say that I love you. Will you go to prom with me?"
