A/N: Okay, its been a long time coming, but I'm finally starting to wrap this 
thing up. I first started this fic in November of last year, so it's high time I 
finished up. This will either be the last chapter or the second to last chapter. 
I haven't decided yet. Anyway, enjoy!

School Days
Chapter 11

The auditorium in which the dance was being held was decorated with all sorts of 
banners and streamers, compliments of Misty and her friends. The colors that 
adorned the tables and stage were set in the colors that the class had voted on, 
black and silver.

Dozens of people had already arrived and began talking to their fellow 
classmates. Many of them complimented Misty and her friends on the wonderful 
decorating and coordinating job. 

"Hey Misty!" Yelled a girl from the crowd. Misty whipped her head around and 
looked for the person with which the voice belonged. Finally, she saw a tall, 
light brown-haired girl running towards her.

"Hey Kathleen!" Greeted Misty. "Enjoying yourself?"

"Yeah, this is great. You guys really out did yourselves this year." She 
complimented.

"Thanks." Smiled Misty. "Where's your date?" 

"Oh, he's over there getting himself a drink. He's one of my best friends. I 
want you guys to meet him." She explained.

"Alright, then bring him over." Agreed Melissa.

"Hey Brock! Come over here! I want you to meet some of my friends." Yelled 
Kathleen through the crowd of people.

'Brock?!' Thought Ash as he scanned the crowd of people. 'It couldn't be…'

"Oh, there he is." Exclaimed Kathleen as she pointed to her approaching date.

He was a tall, thin young man with spiky, dark brown hair. 

"Brock?!" Exclaimed Misty.

"Misty? Hey, what are you doing here?" Asked the rock trainer.

"I'm here with a friend of mine." She explained.

"Wait a second. You two know each other?" Asked Ash, confused.

"Ash, is that you? I hardly even recognized you." Smiled Brock as he patted his 
friend on the back. "I had no idea that the girl's picture you showed me was 
Misty."

Ash simply nodded. "How do you two know each other?" He asked.

"Me and Brock go way back. Our families are really good friends since we're both 
from gyms." She explained. "Now it's your turn. How do you guys know each 
other?"

"Well, before I lived in Pewter, I lived in Pallet. In fact, Ash was my 
neighbor. Then, about a year later, I moved away because my father got an offer 
for a job in Pewter. We've kept in touch ever since." He explained. "And I know 
Kathleen because she lives right down the street from me."

"Oh, I see." Smiled Misty. "It's great to see you again Brock." Misty said, 
giving him a hug. 

"Same here." He said, returning the hug.

"Come on Brock. You have to meet the rest of my friends." Exclaimed Kathleen as 
she dragged Brock away.

"I'll see you guys later!" He yelled as his figure got lost in the sea of 
people.

"See ya Brock." Waved Ash.

"Well, come on guys. We're not just going to stand here all night, are we?" 
Asked Chris, eager to get on the dance floor.

"Of course not!" Exclaimed Melissa. "Let's go guys!"

As the night wore on, more and more people began to crowd the dance floor, 
showing off their moves and hoping to get noticed. The DJ played a mixture of 
music, satisfying everyone who set foot on the floor. 

Finally, the time came for the crowning of the king and queen of the dance. The 
students crowded around the stage and waited for the moment of truth. Melissa, 
Anna, Lauren, Sarah, and Chris stepped onto the stage and pulled out two slips 
of paper, both with writing on them. Melissa stepped up to the microphone, 
followed by Chris.

"Well, I hope your all having a wonderful time here tonight. I know I am." 
Smiled Melissa as she spoke into the microphone.

"But right now we're gonna slow things down a bit and announce this year's king 
and queen." Announced Chris.

"Now, some of you may be wondering what the heck we're talking about. Well, let 
me explain." Started Melissa. "My friends and I thought it would be a good idea 
to have a king and queen for the dance this year, seeing as this is our last 
year at pokemon tech. So, we went around our class and asked completely random 
people who they thought should be the queen for this year. Chris did the same 
thing for the king."

"They didn't ask me." Shrugged Misty.

"Me neither." Announced Ash.

"The votes were counted and we were surprised to find that the whole class voted 
for the same two people." Smiled Chris. 

Everyone started to whisper amongst themselves, wondering who the lucky couple 
could be. 

Melissa then smiled in Ash and Misty's direction. "And now, we are pleased to 
present your 2003 king and queen…"

All of a sudden, the doors to the auditorium burst open, as a cloud of dust 
rushed throughout the building. Screaming could be heard from various parts of 
the auditorium, as well as a roaring sound coming from where the blast had 
occurred. 

As the dust began to settle, two forms could be made out. They were that of a 
young teenager and a horned pokemon…

A/N: Okay, I guess this fic is gonna have one more chapter. By the way, sorry 
about the delay guys. I've been really busy with school stuff and so on. Anyway, 
hope you all enjoyed it. AAML forever!!!
