May is desperate, her friend is leaving town because of her parent's transfer and there is no way they could be in touch because her parents did not approve their friendship. They met online through a wonderful app whose name as usual she forgets. But she can't forget those brilliant times they had. Laughter, fun, teasing, tears, their own conversation and their stupid cute lil tags they did all the time. Her name is Misaki. Misaki is 15 just like her, even though they spent time with each other for just some months, its still hurts.

Misaki is a brilliant girl, good in studies and making friends. Sometimes dense, sometimes clever. She is always there when you need her and don't mess with her friends cause she has a dark side you would never like to know. She reminds May of all her besties. As May is a coordinator she can't stay in one region and has to travel around for competing with her rival, Drew. (Who she "secretly" likes). Misty's calmness and wiseness, Dawn's cheerfulness, and no need to worry! May could see it in Misaki. They later met in a summer camp. She was glad she found some new friends; Marinette, Adrian, and the most closest to her- Misaki.

She sighed at those priceless memories that always come in her mind when she thinks of Misaki leaving. Those times when they teased Marinette and Adrein (not to forget to mention that adrien is as dense as Ash. Well he is BLIND! Though not dense.) and those times when Misaki teased her with the name of the most beloved person and her rival as well as "secret crush". The one and only Drew Hayden!

She was caught off guard when she heard her ring tone. She looked at the phone to see Misaki's profile. A sad smile came on her face but she decided to pick up. Afterall she didn't want Misaki to think she is sad. But when she was about to pick up the call it got disconnected. May tilted her head in confusion when she saw a message pop up by Misaki. She opened it.

Misaki Chan ( Shu to be wife)

Shu wife: May! I need to get Maridren or adrinette together before I go. I have to leave tonight and I have just some hours left. This way marinette will be happy.

May smiled, same old oldy Misaki, still wants to make others happy even if in her own heart she is sad.

May: On our way Misaki san!!!

She immediately hop off the bed and put on her shoes. Excitement bubbled inside her to meet her friend and create new memories. She ZOOMED down the stairs. May climbed down only 2 steps in excitement and rest she tripped and rolled down like the way team rocket do when they blast off again~

"AAAAHHHHH OUCH OUCH OUCH ACCCHI!" she yelped in pain and sneezed when she fall in the bucket full of water that was supposed to be used for cleaning the floor.

"May when will you learn!" Caroline said as she looked at her clumsy daughter.

"Watch your step May." Norman said not even looking up to see their daughter's current cloth status.

"Mom you should have expected that! Afterall its may who tripped And you know she never learns. Though it's the first time you fall in that bucket may." Max said adjusting his glasses on his nose as he teased his elder sister.

"tell me about it." May muttered under her breath as she tried to get her head out of the bucket. But it was stuck!

Why is it always me!!!

" May dear how many times have you fallen off that stair case." Caroline asked with her hand on the bucket as she tried to pull it off her

"just a few" a muffled reply was heard. Norman snorted a laugh to which Caroline glared. Max was laughing.

"lets take down facts. 27 times you fall in the dust bin, 2 times in the washing maching , 79 times on the floor , 13 times on dad, 12 times on Mom. And 7 times on munchlax! Ha!! Munclax even used focus punch on your stomach when you almost fall on him!"

"That reminds me Norman please fix the hole on the wall upstairs! Munchlax must have punched you way too hard May." Caroline said as she sighed.

"How about we use skitty double slap? That shall do it mom." Max said as his eyes glowed mischievously. After all May ate all ramen even his today morning! And her excuse!?!? " a broken soul needs food to roll!"

"skitty please use double slap." Caroline said to the kitten that just entered.

"No don't!" a muffled reply came that was unheard to all except Max who controlled his laughter

"NAH!NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH!!!!"she attacked may thinking she is a stranger with continuous double slap. Max hid himself behind a wall so that his mother doesn't catch him laughing!

"oh dear.... Muchlax you came in right time! Please use focused punch from above on the bucket that's stuck on May's head." Skitty eyes widen when she? He? It heard may's name. May was dizzy and could hardly stand.

"NAAHHH!" Skitty yelled in trial to stop Muchlax but to no vail.

"AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH" Max fall on the ground and began laughing, sometimes holding his stomach or beating the ground. He just couldn't stop laughing at May's horrific look when the bucket broke into pieces and May landed on the ground right on her face with BAM!

*********time pass because all were busy laughing!!!*******

"Max is soo going to get it when I get my hands on him! How dare he! He not only Made me late but also spoiled my hair! Already my dress is spoiled! Heck because I am late I have to come wet only! Oh I just hope Misaki is right there!! And hasn't left!" May said as she panted. Her whole face was red because of falling down the stairs and its after events. Skitty's double slap marks were clearly seen on her face. She ran as fast as she can even though tears came in her eyes because of the pain she feels from falling down the stairs.

****************************************with misaki*********************

It was hard to agree with her parents for leaving her friends behind to go to a new region. Misaki looked down on the ground as she walked alone down the streets. She did not like to see people sad and yet she made her friends sad as she is leaving. Though she has to admit, all her friends made a brave effort to support her and wished her goodbye. Unwanted tears came in her eyes thinking of all the times she spent with her friends. Something inside her chest hurts, she feel heavy from inside and tired. Tired of lieing to her parents that she is no longer a friend of May's and others who they disagree. She felt she was a lier and she didn't want to break the blind trust that her parents had in her.

Sometimes you have to lie in order to survive

Sometimes its hurts so bad to leave but life goes on

Nothing is permanent and you know that

Just make most of these moments

There will be times when life brings you down

But you have to survive

For haruka, for may , for each and everyone of them.

smile misaki , theyre right here in your heart

your not leaving them, your just leaving this region

relax deep breaths... deep breaths..

besides I have to make sure my friends will be happy even if I am not there. That is the only way I will feel nice and not bad for leaving them. NO MISAKI! You're not leaving! You're just going away for temporary basis...

besides I still have haruka! I am so glad that she is there with me!

Misaki thought as she smiled and a determined look replaced the depressed and thoughtful one.

Its been way to long that Adrien and Marinette didn't admit their feelings to each other! Besides drew is coming here. My plan is going just like a planned. They will be happy and that is what I want! Someone to look after May and Marinette...

She looked and saw Marinette jostling her way through the crowd

"excuse me, sorry, coming through! Sorry I am late!" Marinette said as she panted heavily with her hands resting on her knees.

"Why does that not surprise me?" Misaki said with a hand on her hip.

"so what's the plan?"

"the plan will be in action soon as drew will reach here. Here as in the rose garden around night fall. Did you catch all the pokemon I told you too? I'll 'borrow' masquerade and roselia."

"uhh... what pokemon...?" Marinette asked as she looked everywhere else nervously. Misaki facepalmed.

Why did I not expect this? I should have known.

"change of plans. Could you find the soul pokemon?'

"Whats a soul pokemon?"

"it's a rare one, the soul of the species to be exact. For example the soul beautifly can make all beautifly do whatever she tells them too. The soul roselia could make all the roselia to do what she wants. We need soul roselia and masquerain, one munchlax, one glaceon or a ice pokemon who can use ice sphere, you know the latest trick that may taught her glaceon? Its like a shadow ball but instead it has ice. If its attacked by focus punch or any like wise attack it will convert into snow flakes and may will earn points."

"Ok... and where can we find them and how exactly?" Marinette asked. Misaki sweatdropped, she didn't even knew that herself.

"we-well um we could use may's glaceon and muchlax....but the soul pokemon of masquerain and beautifly..... I don't know..... we need a bunch of them. Roselia toh I can borrow from drew without his knowledge and don't worry they will be more than willing and happy to help! They themselves want to see may and drew together!!!!" Misaki said as marinette looked at her slightly disapprovingly but sighed nevertheless.

"Alright fine." Misaki nodded at her and smiled.

"OH WAIT! It's the mating season of beautifly! That means we can convince them using may's beautifly!! Even if it can't convince all it could convince some!!!! Though we have think for masquerain..." Marinette said. Both discussed on their 'secret plan' of getting May, the princess of Hoenn and Drew, the prince of Hoenn together.

After marinette left to arrange everything, Misaki messaged May. She smiled at her reply and calmly thought

Part 2 on the move

Marinette and Adrien

Mission Chinese!

Misaki knew very well that May will take her time so she started her phrase in her plan.

She started writing in Chinese. No, Misaki doesn't know Chinese but she has a phone to help her translate an English message into Chinese. May had some lessons in Chinese once, atleast she could read and correct it and help Marinette learn it.

Haruka, her BFF reached the spot before May and looked around.

"Guess May is late as ever?"

"Somethings never change" both the girls giggled and sat on the bench.

"well, some things will change forever between Contestshipping and Adrienette." Haruka said. An evil smile came on Misaki's face

"seems like you have a plan. I am glad that I am not the victim!!" Haruka exclaimed as Misaki explained her Contestshipping Plan. Then the moment she was about to speak regarding the Adrienette plan, May came......and tripped in mid-air just like always!

"Why are you wet?" Haruka asked her as both got up to help May up.

"AND why is your face red?!?! Did you got hurt! Tell me his name and I'll kill that guy or well make his life miserable! MAY tell me!!"Misaki exclaimed as she got worried sick.

"Max Maple." May said as Haruka helped her up.

At least she didn't think I hit myself accidentally with a burning hot pancakes pan or someone threw pancake on my face..

:O Misaki stood dumbfounded and sighed. She wont dare ever mess with Max because he threatened to cut Misaki's hair. Which is something she doesn't want to. Or tell Haruka that Misaki was the one who replaced her shampoo bottle with yellow paint.. HA! GOOD OLD TIMES! And Haruka still thinks that it was shu and his friends! Or perhaps Tyson granger.

"The mission is called Mission Chinese! May your job is to check the pronunciation as well as the grammar. The plan is simple. We are writing a love declaration in Chinese and this time Marinette won't stutter. May make sure she learns those words ok?" Misaki instructed

"Your wish is my command," May said with a small curtise as the girls giggled.

"how come Marinette won't stutter!? When she is in front of Adrien she is like oh hh—h-h-hiii Husb- I mean ADRIEN s-sos—s- JNSZJWNDJHE BFNKDES XMS BYE TALK TO YOU LATER GOTTA GO and feed my....kitten!" Haruka tried to act like Marinette as the girls laughed

"Well that's Marinette alright!" may said as she restrains herself to not laugh like a crazy maniac.

"well, that's where you enter Haruka! May here you go." Misaki said as she gave May the slip and pen. May grinned as she read the Chinese words.

"both of them won't see it coming!" May said as she ran in the opposite direction

****************PLAN 1 PART 1 (ADRIEN TALK)******************

Haruka smiled and waved at her blonde friend, Adrien

"Hey Haru chan? Whats up?" Adrien said as they sat on a bench.

"You see, I want to prank Marinette and I need your help!" Haruka said as she used her puppy dog eyes.

"Marinette? Ok I am in! About time I can have some fun!" Adrien said as he listen intently Haruka's plan. The plan was to act as a statue. It didn't make much sense to adrien but what could go wrong? Besides he is idle for the whole day after all. A small harmless prank wont change once life now can it?

"Oh and would you like to do one dare?" Haruka asked unsure of herself

"sure Why not."

"I want you to think of Marinette not as a friend. But a-"
"As a sister?" Adrien intrupted. Haruka's eyes widen as she glared at him.

"NO IDIOT! I mean Adrien. Think of her as more than a friend. Ohhh I have a call and gotta go bye!" Haruka said and acted as if she had a call to attend.

"wait what!??!"

"A dare is a dare and you accepted the dare!!" Haruka yelled as she ran away with phone near her ear. Was it embarrassing to ask adrien that? Yeah well yes but she always wanted to do that! Plus it is worth it afterall.

Adrien was in shock. He never really thought of marinette much and now all of a sudden he is supposed to think of her as his g- no wait how could he!?

Well It wont hurt ....

He thought as he decided to walk around a bit

Marinette was always nervous around him and stuttered a lot. But she was a great friend to him and helped him in sooo many occasions! She helped him avoid his bodyguard so that he could see his mother, she gave him her lucky charm! She was always there when he needed someone to talk to.he even felt more comfortable to talk to her regarding his life or feelings rather than his father and even nino! HIS BEST FRIEND!

And when marinette isn't around him or she didn't see him, he sees a completely different side of her. She is bold, courageous, meticulous, caring, helpful and always with her friends no matter what. The way she got the punishment from the science teacher just to see how max's machine friend was doing. The way she guided the others during the election to become monitor. Marinette is a pure soul and a true friend. She was even ready to help Nino with his love problems.

Adrien suddenly became nervous and stopped walking.

She is courageous and is never afraid to speak up her mind. Not only that, she is intelligent and has good reflex. She even is good in fencing! Not to forget how she could easily see through lies. She even helped chloe!

And she isn't that bad to look at! She is cute in her two ponytails, her blue eyes sparkled with excitement and innocence. How pretty she looked in bun. The way she looked when she was dressed as a waitress. How gorgeous her eyes were, how pretty she looked at nights staring at the sun with her hair down.

Wait why was he thinking like that?

Marinette is innovative and beautiful. He wondered why didn't does she always stammered when she is around him.

ALRIGHT ENOUGH THINKING ABOUT HER ADREIN!

She never fails to lighten up her classmates and friends mood. She even made him laugh many times. She was the light when Adrien was lost in darkness. She even convinced his father to let him come to New York with them!

WHY CANT I STOP THINKING ABOUT HER!

********************************PLAN 1 PHRASE 2 MARINETTE LEARNING CHINESE!*******

May was stupefied. Marinette was completely acting weird around her as if hiding something from just her. It was hard for May to focus on the plan that Misaki told her. But she doesn't want to disappoint her! Afterall she is leaving. If only some miracle happ-

Her thoughts were interrupted by marinette's phone call.

Marinette herself was having a hard time. She doesn't know why but May is constantly urging her to learn something she wrote in Chinese. Word-to-word! And she is struggling to not yell at her since she still needs to get may's pokeball without her notice. And if she got caught then its end of the world!!

Luckily seeing "Misaki (princess)" on her phone she hurriedly pick up the call and hastened to explain the situation she is stuck in. and boy was it hard! Since May is right in front of her. Suddenly a knock was heard on the door. May and marinette both were shocked to see Misaki in the doorsteps.

"Marinette how is it going? Listen you need to learn what May is teaching you word to word ok?" Misaki said with her usual cheerfulness and stood besides May. Marinette was about to object but when she saw Misaki going for the pokeballs she nodded.

"Of course! I will learn it all! For sure! Sorry I was not cooperating but now I will! Sorry may!" she said fast as she saw misaki signaling her to carry on while she fail in getting the pokeballs.

"OH BOY! I FEEL SOOOO FRESH! I WANT TO talk in Chinese! Or even better!!!! ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT gently down the stream! Merrily merrily merrily merrily life is but a dream! HEY! Isn't it beautiful to think of all the nursery rhymes! Johny johny! Humpty dumpty! 5 lil ducklings!! Ooh may would you please teach me how to become a coordinator!!" Marinette exclaimed sometimes exercising sometime dancing and roaming all around the room. Misaki successfully got 2 and the third on dropped on the ground. May was about to look there when suddenly

"MAY YOU'RE MY BESTEST FRINED!- I mean friend!" Marinette said as she literally engulfed May into a hug. That they both fall down

"AAAHHH"

"o-okay... I gotta go SEE YOU TWO LATER ALLIGATORS!!!" Misaki said as she left the place.

May looked at Marinette who gave her one of her cheeky grins.

"Shall we continue?" May said with a hand on her hip.

********************************PLAN 1 PHRASE THREE THE LAST PHRASE*****************

Adrien sighed and looked at the time.

About time that I head towards May

His thoughts were occupied by the bugaboo of her life – MARINETTE (a/n lets pretend there is no cat noir and ladybug here)

He entered May's house and greeted her parents.

"May is upstairs with Marinette Adrien. Would you like some tea?" Caroline said.

"No thanks Miss Maple, I'll just head upstairs." He said and went upstairs. He knew very well that for prank, he has to stay out of the room and wait for May.

May heard Adrien's voice and looked at Marinette.

"I think you have to say it one last time. But this time in front of a statue that I bought of Adrien." May said.

"ADRIEN!?! Aaadrrrieennn." Marinette said dreamly as May sighed. She went out of her room and nodded at Adrien.

Marinette came outside and as soon as she saw adrien she made the usual AH-who-is-that kinda pose but relax seeing him still in his famous model pose. Marinette was mesmerized by the beauty of the statue and smiled dreamly but controlled her twitching and etching fingers who were ready to attack the Baby- KFNJDNF ADREIN!!! Yeah adrien's statue!

What she didn't know was that Adrien's eyes were fixed on her as he observed her. He finally realized his feelings for marinette and couldn't believe that he liked her. But adrien doesn't want to spoil their friendship. Plus right now its prank that Adrien should be focused on and not on future chances of relationship. Her smile..... AAH GET YOURSELF TOGETHER ADRIEN!

"Go in the garden, I'll get the statue there. AND DON'T YOU SARE DISOBEY!" May said warningly as Marinette looked at her and went to the park. Not without drooling over adrien in her mind.

*********time pass cause I have shortage of time for getting contestshipping and adrienette together************************

Marinette sighed. May had left her and explained her everything. Apparently they're just making a video and adrien cant be there because of his father so we are using his statue as a substitute.

Deep breaths Mari deep breaths

The moonlight touched her soft face.  she looked at the water fountain that gave her calmness and strength.butterfrees were flying around as she looked at the beautiful nightsky. Marinette smiled at her surrounding. the calm wind, the soothing sound of flowing water, the wonderous butterfrees flying in the sky leaving sparkles behind. it looked like a shooting star fall.

footsteps were heard and Marinette could 'make out' that Adrien's statue was being placed. but she continued looking at stars, her feelings blossomed into a bundle of joy inside, but marinette was unaware of the reason, yet she smiled.

Adrien wanted to look at Marinette's face. it was windy out but imagining marinette in his arms under the night sky made him slightly blush. he was glad Marinette's back was towards him and not the face. She looked gorgeous under the moonlight

Marinette felt hopeful, but for what?  she had no idea.  She looked at the brilliant stars with her blue eyes. her heart filled with clamness. she decided to speak those words she learnt from May and glaned at Adrien. Adrien's eyes widen but he smiled. He never knew marinette felt that way for him. but still decided to stick with his prank , that he formed at this moment.

*****

"I always wanted to tell you something Adrien. i have never felt like this before. you're wonderful, brilliant. since the day i saw you, i knew you were the one for me. Your green eyes, your soothing voice. you're the reason why i smile everyday, where i try to be worthy to have you adrien. i have been meaning to tell you since long but hot stuff- i dont know why but i always stammer around you. perhaps its because around you i feel so many emotions altogether; nervousness, exciteness, love, care. whenever you touch me i feel free. whenever i talk to you i think i had found the real me. i mean whenever i talk to you without stammering. You are the light that lightens up my day. i love you Adrien." Marinette said in chinese. even though she didnt know what she just spoke but she felt a huge weigh off her shoulder.

"even if you never love me back, i'll love you and will be forever with you no matter what." marinette said this time in english as she kept one hand on the 'statue's chest and leaned in. What surprised her later was when their lips meet. it felt enchanting, both had butterflies in their stomach. Marinette placed her hands on adrien's neck as adrien slide his hands on her wait and pulled her closer. 

but soon the moment had to be broken because of lack of oxygen. both broke the kiss reluctantly as their foreheads touch each other. when their breaths normaled, they leaned in for another kiss. it was simple,quick, yet sweet.

When their eyes met again, Adrien was lost in marinette's eyes. but he was brought back to life going around him when marinette suddenly pushed him away!

"Wh-wha-what!?! ho-how!? Adrein!?!?! what are yo- woah!" Marinette tripped in mid air but was caught by Adrien by the waist.

"falling for me already m'lady??" 

"catching up with me arent you." Marinette responded a bit annoyed. it was hard for her to believe that what happened actually happened.

"i guess i just need to make a habit of you falling for my catistic charms huh?"

"arent you a love sick cat." marinette said and adrien chuckled.

"just so you know, your not dreaming marinette, even though you're the girl of my dreams. i love you and today i realized that. i realized how special you are to me." Adrien said as he pulled marinette into a hug. after 2 sec, she returned it with a smile spread across her face.

it was a dream come true.

************************ Plan 2 phrase checks****************

May distracted so all deco done.

drew reached the rose garden but is hidden

drew and may's pokemon are 'borrowed' successfully.

the last phrase; MISSION CONTESTSHIPPING SAIL ON THE GO STARTS

**********************

Misaki had to do everything she can that too quickly to get may and drew together. adrinette plan was successfull but now its time for contestshipping. May needs this mission to be fulfilled so that she won't be sad. Misaki didn't tell anyone not even haruka when she is leaving. she decided to tell them today itself. but right now there is a plan to execute! 

***********************

May sighed, she was exhausted for sure! making marinette learn those words , which she had written in her secret diary which she made the girls read,  in chinese was not an easy task!

a calm wind blew the hair out of May's face as she smiled. Suddenly she heard her mobile beep.

Drew; Meet me in the rose garden. urgent 

a confused look came across may's face as she looked from her house balcony at the rose garden

what does drew wants with me? and why so late?

Drew hayden! it better be worht it cause its dinner

Rest will be a mystery to U all till I get some time to update
