Aka, the contestshipping oneshot where Brianna isn't evil.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I take a drink of the coffee on front of me. The dark liquid drips into my throat, causing a burning sensation.
I look at the rose on my wall. It was the very first rose Drew had ever given to me. He has given me thirty eight roses. The first of which, I had pressed into a frame a long time ago.
I probably should have forgotten about all the roses by now. I haven't seen Drew for five years, and I haven't communicated with him for four. He probably has forgotten about me.
Oh! I forgot to introduce myself! My name is May Maple, and I'm a coordinator. I live in the Hoenn region. I like to compete in contests, and have been on the Buzznav a few times talking about contests. Drew was my rival. That grass headed narcissist has probably forgotten about. I don't even know how he got me to fall in love with him.
I place the mug down. Walking to my room, I glance around my tiny apartment. A red sofa and a TV are the only furniture in the living room. My kitchen has a counter, fridge, stove, and a microwave, aka my best friend. The dining room has a simple wooden table and matching chairs.
In my bedroom I have my bed, with red bedding on top of it. I also have my wardrobe\vanity, my desk, and my computer crammed in here. Did I mention all the vases. I have tried to preserve all of the roses Drew gave me. On my desk, there is a vase containing a single rose. I pull it out and give it a sniff. It still has its sent. I pull out the rose and begin to reminisce about Drew.
I remember when Drew had subconsciously told me that the roses were for me. I was dense back then and didn't realize it. I begin to giggle, my giggle becoming a ferocious laugh. If Max were here, he would've teased me, but he is probably on a date with that girl Bonnie. My father, Norman, was ecstatic when Max showed up with the sister of a gym leader from Kalos. Why can't I have a love life?! The closest I ever got to one was being friends with Brenden Birch. But he obviously has a crush on the girl he likes to call Ms. Tie, not that I mind. It still is unfair that I can't have a love life. I guess it doesn't matter, I never will have a love life anyway.
I remember when Drew came to watch me perform. I was only screaming a little bit on the inside.
I remember when me and Drew fell off that cliff. I had reached out to save him. Unfortunately, we both fell into the river. We fell down a waterfall and Drew fell unconscious. I was so scared, I would have been heartbroken if he had drowned. I remember those Lechi berries the Wynaught had given us, they sure were delicious! I chuckle, remembering the fresh pack of Lechi berries I had recently purchased.
And Harley. Oh, Harley. He always insisted that me and Drew were dating. Well we weren't you idiot! I look over towards my closet. Inside is the shirt Harley gave me that I had forgotten to burn in a fire. It says "MayxDrew 4 Life" and has a photoshopped picture of us kissing.
And Solidad. I remember we were at a resteraunt, talking. She had said that Drew only talked about me, and that he had grown feelings for me. Jeez I was dense! That doesn't matter now, anyways.
I put the rose back into the vase. I walk over the my vanity/wardrobe, and begin to get ready.
I choose a red jumper, with a white sweater. I slip on black sandals to match. I put a red headband in my hair and apply a rose scented perfume. I'm going to the Contest Fair!
At the contest fair, they have all kinds of booths. There are a ton of booths selling all kinds of pokeball seals. There are also pokeblock making booths and trivia booths! Admist the crowd, I see a drop of green. Oh no, is Drew here?!
I dash away from where he would supposedly be. I head to a food stall, buying a Popsicle on the shape of my Skitty. I see a group of girls a few feet away.
"We love you Drew!"
"You're amazing!"
"Omg, he has such lovely hair!" I hear screams from fangirls. Bother.
Emerging from the crowd I see Drew. Hugging his arm, I see Brianna. (Do you still believe me that Brianna isn't evil?)
When she sees me, she does something unexpected. Instead of smirking at me, she gives a genuine smile. She turns to poke Drew, before pointing to me.
"Hi May!" I hear Brianna as she walks towards me.
"Hello Brianna!" I give her a forced smile.
"Brinna is too formal, call me Bri! Drew, we're gonna go on the ferris wheel, see you after!" Brianna grabs my wrist and walks forwards.
"Okay Bri. Good to see you May!" Drew wanders off to some random booth.
We head to the ferris wheel. Once inside, Brianna begins to talk.
"It was surprising that we were dating, huh?" Bri asks me.
"Yeah, very." I look down at the fair.
"Y'know, I could tell Drew liked you, back when we were rivals. Now that I'm dating him, I can tell that he loved you, still does." She chuckles, a carefree expression on her face.
"And that didn't upset you?" I ask her, confused.
"At first it did, but now... But now it makes me feel happy for him!" She giggles.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, sometimes, loving someone means making sacrifices so that they're happy. If you love someone, it will always give you joy to know that they can love someone dearly and be happy with someone, even if it isn't you. That's why I've wanted to see you. He talks about, how he misses you, and how great of a trainer he thought you were. So, I think I'd be happier if you could be his girlfriend, that'd make him ecstatic. But if I allow you to be his girlfriend you have to promise me one thing." She looks at me.
"What is that?" I ask her, gazing over the fair once more. She leans in to whisper in my ear.
"Promise me that I can be your, maid of honor?" She asks, hopeful that I'll accept.
"What do you mean my wedding with Drew?!" Blushing maddly, I defy her claims. She giggles again.
"I'll take that as a yes. By the way, that jumper is on point! And you have a very nice perfume on, like roses!" We begin to talk about random things while we wait for the ride to finish.
"Imma go talk to Drew now, bye!" Bri bounds off. I go shopping at random booths.
Brianna returns with a shocked Drew. I decide to play dumb.
"May, Drew would like to speak with you." She grins, and pulls to a secluded spot near the fair.
"Ummm, long time no see?" I ask him, the situation growing awkward.
"I guess June. Well, miss me?" He flicks his bangs before pulling out a rose.
"I guess." I mumble.
"Bri wanted us to talk, about umm. Well she just broke up with me, I'll give you that much." Drew sighed before looking into the wilderness.
"That little matchmaker." I sigh, rubbing my cardigan.
"May, I've really missed you. You don't know how long I've wanted to say it." He looks down hesitantly.
"Say what?" I ask, no idea why I'm still playing dumb.
"I've also liked you. Its just that my damn ego always kept me from telling you. And those roses, they were for you." He covers his face with his hands, trying to hide his blush.
"I like you too. And I realized those roses were for me four years ago. When you stopped talking to me over the phone." I look down, continuing to rub cardigan.
"I'm sorry. Life just got really busy. And then I got too shy to call you. Sorry June." He smirks upon calling me that nickname.
"My name is May!" I yell, a nearby rattatta ruining the moment. Damn you rattatta!
"Hush, April. I have two presents for you." He tightens his grip on the rose.
"Okay, what are they?" He sticks out a rose.
As I lean towards him to retrieve the rose, he kneels down and gives me a kiss. My face turns red as, Drew's grip on my shoulder becoming tighter. I return the kiss before he breaks it.
"Our first date is on Monday, February." He smirks as be walks away.
