May Maple was searching frantically through her closet. She sent her clothes flying through the air and some of them landing on one of her two best friends, Misty.

"May quit it!" Misty groaned peeling of one of May's t-shirts that was just flung at her.

"Sorry." May apologized taking back the shirt from her friend's grasp.

"May!" Carolina, May's mother, called.

"Yes?" May responded.

"Your other friend, Dawn is here!" Carolina yelled up the stairs.

"Oh! Great, but can you send her up here?" May asked returning to her closet search.

"Sure, honey." Carolina replied. There was a conversation between the two that was inaudible to Misty and May before Dawn came through May's bedroom door.

"Hey what's up guys?" Dawn asked jumping onto May's red bed. She grabbed her rose shaped pillow and looked at May's figure questionably.

"Nothing." Misty replied casually. Dawn raised an eyebrow.

"And what about her?" Dawn asked pointing towards May.

"Oh, her. She's looking through her closet for a one-time use type of clothing, so she can waste valuable time bored and disappointed by the end of that evening." Misty replied with a shrug.

"What?" Dawn asked completely lost and utterly confused.

Misty sighed. "May's looking for a dress she bought a few days ago to wear to the school dance." Misty explained in a simpler version.

"Oh! I get it now." Dawn beamed in pride. Misty rolled her eyes. "Need any help, May?" Dawn questioned getting up from her bed and walking towards May.

"Nope. I found what I was looking for!" May exclaimed. "Look! Isn't it gorgeous?" May asked gazing at herself in the mirror with the dress covering her clothes she was currently wearing.

"Yeah. Breath taking." Dawn stared in awe.

"Yeah. Totally." Misty said. She was actually surprised in its beauty.

"Thanks! I bought it just a few days ago for the dance this weekend." May twirled around and then set the dress down.

"Wow, so you're going to the dance, too?" Dawn questioned.

"Yeah. I thought it'd be fun. It's supposed to be like a prom." May beamed at the thought of the dance.

Dawn smiled and Misty groaned. "What's the matter Misty?" Dawn asked.

"The dance. Everyone knows that every dance, prom-like dance, ends in disaster." Misty concluded.

"Not even. Not every dance." May defended.

"Yeah they do." Misty argued.

May huffed and decided to change the subject. "Dawn, are you going?"

"Yeah. Misty, I know you don't want to go, but can you go for us?" Dawn pleaded.

"Fine. But only for you guys." Misty puffed.

"Yay!" May and Dawn cheered.

"I need a dress though." Misty thought aloud.

"This calls for SHOPPING!" Dawn shrieked in delight.

The girls were dragged by Dawn to the mall to find Misty and Dawn, herself, a dress.

~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Do like this dress?" Dawn asked May.

"Oh my gosh! It's the perfect dress!" May gushed.

"Yeah it's perfect!" Misty commented.

"Thanks!" Dawn thanked.

"It makes you look fat." A low and bored voice commented dryly.

Dawn began to fume. "Shut up Paul! What do you know about fashion!" Dawn retorted to the emo-looking boy named Paul.

"Apparently more than May. I mean look at that outfit. At least Paul can dress himself." A cocky and bored voice said coming from besides Paul.

"Fuck you Drew! I look better than you, so you shouldn't be talking!" May yelled at the cocky boy, known as Drew.

"You wish, Maple." Drew retorted calmly.

"Well then my wish came true!" May huffed.

"Hey Mist!" Another voice called cheerfully form between Paul and Drew.

"Hey Ash!" Misty replied to the cheerful kid with the goofy smile called Ash.

"What are you doing here?" Ash asked out of curiosity.

"Shopping for a dress, for the dance. How about you?" Misty replied.

"We were just hanging out until we saw you guys." Ash responded.

The friends continued talking until the four other friends stopped arguing.

"Where do you want to go now?" Misty asked after Dawn and her purchased their dresses.

"I'm not sure." Dawn responded.

"Well I'm kinda hungry." Ash spoke up.

"When are you not?" Drew asked.

"Um...." Ash thought.

"Never." Paul answered Drew's question.

"Hehehe..." Ash smiled sheepishly.

"Why are you guys mean to Ash?" Dawn asked innocently.

"We're not mean to him, Troublesome." Paul snorted.

"Yes you are! You always tease him about being hungry!" May defended Dawn.

"So? That doesn't mean we're mean, Maple." Drew hissed.

May stuck out her tongue. "Whatever. Mist, I'm tired. I'm heading home. How about you guys?" May turned to Ash, Dawn, Paul. and Misty.

"Yeah same here." Misty yawned a bit.

"Ditto for me!" Dawn chirped.

"Yeah. I'm gonna head home for a snack then a nap!" Ash beamed running out the doors of the mall.

Paul grunted and shrugged in response. Drew smirked and nudged Paul in the ribs.

"Bye Maple." Drew smirked walking away.

"See ya, Troublesome." Paul smirked also walking away from the girls and entering a near-by store.

"Ugh!" May and Dawn yelled in unison. "I hate him!" they cried.

"Let's just go." Misty encouraged.
