Thrilllover39: hey everybody sorry for not updating in a long time! I have a lot of stuff considering I graduate in about less than ten days so I'm getting my stuff ready for college and work has been a pain, I recently had a terrible accident in which I lost a dear friend of mines so that's also been something very hard to deal with, but anyways I feel that you all deserve an update so I'm going to give it you, enjoy!

(Everyone's POV)

What went wrong? Was it you? Or was it me? One minute we were the best of friends, and the next, we act as if we have never met before. I didn't mean for it to go this far, to break our friendship, to ruin our history, or to tear us apart, we became strangers to one another, and I want to make amends with you, to rebuild what he had before. I'm sorry.

(Sixth Grade)

"Wow! I can't believe were finally in sixth grade!" Cried a familiar bluenette, along with her friends Misty, May and Leaf they ran up to DP's middle school entrance, staring excitedly towards the large building.

As the girls were barely developing, they still had childish features. Each had worn the schools sailor uniform which consisted of their school's colors, silver and black.

Dawn, as always, was stylish in appearance, wearing a messy bun with glittery pearl clips, several bangles, rings, and her shiny diamond earrings; she looked over towards her friends flashing them her bright braces with a smile.

"You know what that means?! We are officially woman!" Misty had stated proudly, puffing her flat chest out, her short layered hair was tied into two high ponytails, she sweat dropped when noticing she was the only one of her friends to wear shorts rather than a skirt.

"Noooooo….really? I thought we were just a couple of dittos." Leaf remarked sarcastically sticking her tongue out with a friendly manner, the brunette had low tied braids and a bandage patch on her left cheek.

"Oh Leaf, we'll never get tired of your feistiness." May giggled as she sweat dropped, her thin framed glasses had slipped until she pushed them back up, and then went on to fix her low pig tails.

"There they are!" the four spun around, causing their lips to curve into large smiles full of joy and excitement.

"First day! How are you girls feeling?!" cried out a young Ash, making his way towards the girls along with Paul, Drew, and Gary.

"Better, now that we're all here together again!" Smiled Dawn, waving over to Paul who gave a slight grin as he gave her a head up.

"Drew!" May gleamed, running up to the greenette and tackling him to the ground as he embraced her and groaned from the harsh impact to the ground, the rest laughed.

"Geez November you missed me that much?!" he chuckled.

She stood up, puffing her cheeks out as she crossed her arms, and looked down at him, "Of course I did! You know how boring it was in Hoenn without you?!"

He laughed again, standing up and dusting his uniform off before wrapping his arm around her shoulders, "Well, that makes two of us, you don't think I had any fun in unova knowing you were over there?" he rolled his eyes earning himself a friendly punch from the brunette.

"Alright you love birds break it up." Leaf gagged, causing the two to turn a deadly shade of red and break apart, the rest smirked.

"We're just friends! Just like how we are with all of you guys!" May frantically denied the statement.

"Doesn't seem like it." Paul sighed boredly, Dawn laughed leaning her head on his shoulder as he smirked and crossed his arms.

"How was your summer?" he mumbled, facing forward towards the group where Drew and May continued denying the groups questions, Ash and Misty were wrestling, while Leaf had Gary on a headlock on the floor.

Her face went blank, catching the young purple headed boy's attention, "It was…..ok, much better now that you're here and we're all going back to school." She gave him a sincere smile.

He raised an eyebrow, growing slightly suspicious of the spunky girl's unusual attitude, he sighed, "You know, troublesome…I never understood why you were always so excited to be at school, and why not at home."

He faced her when he felt the weight of her head loosen, she looked away, "I do….like being at home…but I just like being here more, because I'm with all my friends, and…..you." she smiled.

He chuckled, "Is that so?" she nodded, snatching hold of his arm and linking them together, he groaned irritatingly.

"You know I hate that, right?" he groaned louder.

"Yup!" she sing sang.

"I swear to arceus I will make you eat sand troublesome if anybody finds out I let you get away with all your cute moves around me." He growled lowly.

"Paul." she whined, shaking his arm wildly.

He groaned even more, "What?"

"Are we still best friends?" Her voice had returned to its natural soothing tone.

He looked at her as if she was stupid, "Why would you ask that stupid girl?"

"Well, because I always hear that when friends enter a new grade, they always grow apart, and I want to make and I hope to arceus that, that will never happen with our friends or us."

"I don't know where you heard that from, but it's pretty stupid, only a strong friendship can't withstand hardships, you don't believe we all have one?"

"Of course I do! I-I just want to make sure that I'll still have my best friend by my side." She giggled, scooping his hand into hers, he groaned even louder, shooting his head back.

"Sandbox troublesome…..sandbox…..that's where your next stop will be."

"Aw, come one Paul we've always held hands ever since Kindergarten, remember when you protected me from those bullies, and you took my hand saying if I'm ever scared or need protection, then to hold yours." She squeezed his hand.

"Damn…" he muttered, "….I didn't think you'd remember that."

"Fine….but if anybody asks, we are not dating." He growled, Dawn Gasped.

"What?! EW! No! You're like my best friend! That's really gross Paul! Dirty mind! Dirty Mind!" cried the Bluenette as if it were cooties.

"Ugh….." he sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

(Present Day Leaf and Gary)

"So where is it that you need to be?" Questioned the brunette player, starting the engine to his luxurious car he sped off, keeping his eyes on the road as he waited for an answer.

"Somewhere." She replied boredly.

"Like?" he questioned once more.

"Like somewhere." She continued back, picking at her nails and smirking as she glanced over towards Gary who had an irritated expression.

"Look, you might as well tell me, otherwise how am I supposed to drop you off there?"

"You can just drop me off at a stop sign nearby."

"You're not making this any easier hun." He sweat dropped.

She stopped, and gave a threatening look to him, "Hun? G-baby you're lucky you are driving because if not, I would have totally killed you for calling me that." she hissed through gritted teeth, his gulping was loud.

"At least tell me where you're heading then." He scoffed.

"Why are you so interested in knowing?" She spat back.

He chuckled, "When something channels my curiosity, I stop at nothing to satisfy it."

"Well, this is one you will have to live without satisfying." She smirked.

"Really? Try me." He smirked back.

*CLICK* the long haired brunette looked to her right, where the doors lock was automatically shut off, she tried to unlock it but proved to fail.

"Gary…." She glared over to him; he gave her a mischevious grin.

"I'm kidnapping you." he winked, pressing on the gas pedal and speeding off.

(Ash and Misty)

"So where you heading off to right now?" Asked an overly joyous Ash.

Misty looked up to the sky, placing both hands behind her head, "Hm, I'm not sure; I was going to train for next week's game." She shrugged.

"Really?! Man you must be really good at every sport huh?!" she giggled as his exciting tone.

"Well, I don't like to brag, but they do say I'm future Olympic material." She proudly smiled.

"You know, I'm not too bad at sports either." Laughed the raven haired boy, stopping and picking his skateboard under his arm.

It was her turn to laugh, "Ash, I don't think skate boarding is a sport."

"It is! And I'm really good! But I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about school sports, like baseball, football, basketball, all those."

"You play those sports?" her face went into shock when he nodded.

"Believe it or not, a lot of people tell me I'm really good at sports."

Ash! That's great! Why haven't you tried out for any of the school's teams?!"

He frowned, "I-it's …complicated."

Her smile faded, "Oh…..why?"

"You really think coaches would want a skater looking boy on their team?" he sighed.

She took in a small breath and released, "Oh, Ash." Her hand made its way onto his shoulder.

He looked away, taking a sudden interest on the ground, "I don't know if you've noticed Mist….but…at our school, looks count for mostly everything, because of how I am dressed, I am automatically portrayed as an idiot pot head, you think coaches want somebody on their team that gives off that impression?"

She tensed up, squeezing her hand, "You're not the only one who feels that way." He looked up only to see the red head facing the ground this time.

He seemed pretty surprised, "Why do you think coaches issue me onto their teams? Because of my tomboyish looks, they immediately think I have strong potential, which I admit there not wrong about, but I hate how I'm never allowed to be what I want, because in the end…..they will just see me as a weakling in it."

"Mist….." he frowned.

"Ash, you're not the only one who wants to fight this idiotic problem…..I'm sick of being the tomboy, or one of the guys….I want…..I want to be…." She looked away, hoping to hide her flustering cheeks.

"Be what?" he asked, slightly tilting his head.

"I want to become an actual girl…I want to show everyone that Misty Waterflower is a girl and not one of the guys!" she had screamed, causing Ash to jump from startalation.

She began panting, dropping to the floor as she hid her head between her knees, Ash sat beside her, placing his board on the grass they were seated on.

"Mist…." "Don't Ash, I don't need comfort right now, I want help and I need it from you." His eyes widened.

"Me?" she nodded.

"Ash, if you help me become like one of the girls, I'll help you become the school's all star athlete."

Silence took over, Ash turned the other way, causing the red head to stand and wait for his answer.

"We both need each other to help prove everyone wrong, together; we can break the schools sport image."

Silence continued from the raven haired skater, he slowly turned to face Misty, extending his hand out to her, in which she took, shaking it and forming a devious smile along with it.

"Everyone's in for a big surprise."

(May and Drew)

Silence had secured another area, particularly inside the greenettes car, where May had quietly sat in the passenger's seat, twiddling with her fingers and keeping her head low.

Drew on the other hand, continued stealing glances of the brunette, driving with a single hand on the wheel and the other supporting his chin as he lazily placed it on top.

"So….where should I drop you off at?" he asked, causing her to snap out of what seemed to be her deep thoughts.

"Huh? Um, you can just leave me at the corner of Frontier Avenue." She mumbled.

"Frontier Avenue? Isn't that street completely filled with bars, clubs, and pretty much anything fun?" he stopped upon noticing where he was going.

May rolled her eyes, "Yeah, where all the fun is, is there something you want to say?"

"N-no, sorry…I didn't mean to…" He was cut off.

"Of course you didn't, just like how you don't mean a lot of things, especially promises or relationships." She mumbled….causing him to frown and close his eyes as he muttered, "Shit."

"May, you know that's not true." He retorted with a challenging tone.

"It's all true Drew, you may have forgotten after all these years what happened, but I sure as hell didn't…especially when it involved me losing everything in one day."

"Look-…."He was cut off again as May switched doff the cars lock and opened the door, he took notice of where they had arrived, Frontier Avenue.

"No Drew, you need to look, look and realize that being one of them will never get you everything, it will only make you lose everything…..like me." And with that spoken out, she slammed the door after sighing and saying, "Thanks for the ride."

"I didn't want to lose you!" he growled, slamming his hands on the wheel and placing his head on it.

He looked up to the rear view mirror, taking notice of the brunette as she entered an alley before looking both sides, "I'm not going to lose you again." He whispered, snatching the keys to his car and rushing out after her.

He looked around and ran when he caught sight of a lock of her hair disappearing behind a left turn, then stopped upon seeing her enter through a steel door with a single eye level sliding peek hole.

He followed after, banging on the metallic entrance where the holes slide had switched open, revealing a pair of grey eyes looking at him.

"Name?" questioned the rough gruff voice.

"Hayden, Drew Hayden."

"Not on the list."

He pulled out his wallet, snatching a twin pair of a hundred, several clicks were heard from the other side of the door, revealing the bouncer to be opening it to allow the football star entrance.

"Just straight ahead." Pointed the intimidating man.

He nodded, following the dim light hallways only path, it lead him to end where a pair of red velvet curtains shielded his view. He leaned in closer as he began hearing loud music, chattering, laughter, and cheers.

"What would she be doing at a place like this?" He murmured.

A single breath he took in, and he stepped forward, he became speechless, nothing like he expected, a double level sing and dance club is where he was at, people were dressed in high classed outfits, as waitresses were dressed in skimpy loppuny inspired outfits, bartenders wore nothing but leather pants and leather vests with fedora hats.

The walls were coated with purple velvet fabric, beautiful portraits of gorgeous looking models overtook the opposite ends of the club, while a dim lighted crystal chandelier hung above the room, he faced the main floor where it was packed with tables all filled out by people, most of them looked toward the large cylinder stage covered by the black satin curtains.

"What is this?" he mumbled.

"The Ace of rose's Burlesque club." Responded a light voice.

He spun to his left where a man with squinty eyes, dark tanned skin and dark brown spiky hair was standing behind a mini podium; he wore what looked like a magicians outfit, all black and red.

"The names Brock and this place is called Burlesque."

"Burlesque? What's that?" Responded the green haired teen with a curious look.

The entire room darkened, which was then followed by a wave of cheers, whistles, and wooing.

The curtains slowly slid apart, Brock pointed ahead, "THAT'S Burlesque." Drew Spun around.

On stage was a dimming light orange background, screening four shadowed figures, each striking a pose.

His mouth slowly opened apart as his eyes grew wide in gaze.

Fog rose up from the center and a fifth figure slowly appeared from beneath the stage, striking a pose in which looked like she was seated, cross legged.

(Christina Aguilera-Express)

May: It's a cold and crazy world that's ragin' outside
Well baby me and all my girls are bringin' on the fire
Show a little leg, gotta shimmy your chest
It's a life, it's a style, it's a need, it's Burlesque

The Background disappeared, revealing four mysterious masked dancers and one familiar lead.Sparking Drew's jaw to drop as he immediately recognized the lead dancer and singer as May, dressed in a black sequenced corset outfit with rubies invading the breast area, her hair was curled and topped with a sequenced hat, while her feet were dressed in black leather heeled boots, her face was topped with dark eye liner, thick eye lashes were placed on her, and bright red lipstick which complimented her porcelain skin.

Her legs slowly uncrossed and began spreading apart, her hands were placed on top of one another and she stamped them in between the space of her legs. She smiled at the Crowd with a flirtatious vibe, earning another wave of cheers, she sultrily rose from her chair, kicking it back and strutting up into the edge of the stage with the other dancers, she looked from left to right and winked towards the crowd, they swayed their hips to every direction they snapped their fingers, creating a symmetrical rhythm.

E-X-P-R-E-S-S, love, sex
Ladies no regrets
E-X-P-R-E-S-S, love, sex
Ladies no regrets

Been holding down for quite some time and finally the moment's right
I love to make the people stare
They know I got that certain savoir-faire

Fasten up
Can you imagine what would happen if I let you close enough to touch?
Step into the fantasy
you'll never want to leave, baby let's give it to you…Why?

It's a passion, and emotion, it's a fashion, Burlesque
It'll move you , goin' through you, so do what I do, Burlesque
All ladies come put your grown up, boys throw it up if you want it
Can you feel me, can you feel it? It's Burlesque.

She strutted back and placed her palms on the surface of her chair, flashing and teasing the crowd with the view of her behind, her corset had a design of white hands in which seemed like they were grabbing the brunette's ass. The crowd went while, as she turned her head to look back at the crowd flashing them a seducing grin. She slowly slammed her right palm on the chair, beating with the music.

I tease 'em 'til they're on the edge
They screamin' more for more and more they beg
I know it's me they come to see
My pleasure brings them to their knees

Fasten up
Can you imagine what would happen if I let you close enough to touch?
Step into the fantasy
you'll never want to leave, baby let's give it to you…Why?

It's a passion, and emotion, it's a fashion, Burlesque
It'll move, goin' through you, so do what I do, Burlesque
All ladies, confident, flaunt it
Boys throw it up if you want it
Can you feel me, can you feel it? It's Burlesque.

She along with the rest of the dancers stepped onto the chairs, they swayed their bodies perfectly, she continuously kept running her hands up and down her body, slowly grinding down and then up.

Drew seemed to have kept the same expression, his eyes following each and every one of her moves, Brock smirked.

It's a passion, and emotion, it's a fashion, Burlesque
It'll move, goin' through you, so do what I do, Burlesque
All ladies come put your grown up, boys throw it up if you want it
Can you feel me, can you feel it? It's Burlesque.

They kicked the chairs back once more, the four dancers circled around May, leaving and open space for the front audience to see, they slowly danced closer to the edge where May held her finger out, wiggling it slowly and stepping slowly with the dancers moves, she pumped her chest back and forth to the right and spun around doing the same to the left.

They stopped, and struck a pose, hand on her hip as she grabbed the chin of one of the dancers who was kneeling before her. Two had clung onto her legs, and another grabbed hold of her waist.

Her chest rose up from her heavy and fat breathing, she winked towards the crowd earning a large applause from them, males went wild causing Drew to frown deeply, his eyes narrowed onto the brunette whose smile only grew wider, and then her eyes found his.

Her smile quickly faded and her eyes grew in despair and fear, she quickly ran off stage, sparking him to follow after her.

(Paul and Dawn)

"How far is this stupid restaurant?!" Growled Paul rather loudly, his speed had reached past 100.

"Paul! Slow down! You're going to get us killed if you speed up any further!" cried the bluenette, her hair rose up into the air, swishing with the harsh winds and causing her face to be coated with her blue locks.

"You said you're in a hurry troublesome! So why are you complaining?!" he snapped, vigorously turning his motorcycles handle and causing them to speed dangerously through the freeway.

"Yeah! But not if It means my life in the line you idiot!" she screeched, grabbing tighter onto his torso.

"Look! I have somewhere to be! So the quicker I drop your whiny ass off, the quicker I can get back to my own problems!" he barked, leaning forward and speeding past 150, the bluenette shrieked, shutting her eyes tight and hugging the purplette with all her might.

Not too far behind the two, were a trio or motorcyclists, dressed in pure black outfits, their motorcycles were in black and white, while there dark shadowed helmets kept their identities a secret.

One of them held his wrist to his helmet; he spoke into his watch communicator, "Yo Boss! We got him, and it seems he has his girlfriend with him too."

"Paul and a girl?" spoke back a voice, "This only gets more entertaining for me." He chuckled.

(10 Minutes later)

"We're here." The tires screeched as Paul made a sharp turn, parking in front of the restaurant Dawn worked at, two story it was, and very high class in appearance, Paul made sure to keep an eye contact with the building to a minimum, he placed his helmet back on as he noticed a man with spiky raven hair in a blue suit walk past the window.

He looked back and took notice that the blue haired teen had not yet released her tight grasp on his torso; he felt her hands shaking and smirked upon noticing her frizzy hair which stood completely up.

"Didn't you hear me? We're here, now get off." He growled demandingly.

"I'm trying! But my body's completely shaken up thanks to you!" she hissed back.

"GET-OFF" he growled coldly.

She frowned, pulling all her strength to climb off his motorcycle.

Her legs wobbled, but she regained her balance, rubbing her neck shyly she gave him a slight smile, "Thanks Paul."

He slid the eye windows of his helmet close, responding with an "Hn."

She watched as he sped off past the red light, sighing.

"We're going to have a lot of fun with this one I can tell you that." A rag was quickly stamped over her face.

"Mmmfff!" she cried in muffles, kicking her legs into the air, she slowly felt her vision black out and mind daze off into a sleep slumber, several dark laughter rang through her ears as a last memory, before completely losing consciousness.

"Take her to the warehouse, I'm sure Paul will be quite surprised when he walks in and finds the little present we have ready for him."

"Troublesome….."Whispered Paul, kicking his motorcycles engine into overdrive and speeding dangerously into the streets of downtown.
