I'm writing a new story! This time the girls are working as maids.

Kris: What in the world?

Me: Hey. I had no other ideas. Disclaimer: SpecialShippingForever doesn't own Pokemon or its characters.

"I've got bad news, guys." May said as she sulked into her school's cafeteria and sat down next to her best friends Dawn, Lyra, Leaf, and Kris.

"Us too." The four others said in unison. "You first, May."

"My mom's sick and I need to get a job to pay the hospital bills. So I won't be coming to school for a while." May told them.

"My parents got into a car accident and died. I've nowhere to go, so I have to find a place to stay." Leaf said sadly.

"My house burned down and I have to find a place to stay and make money to pay for the repairs. My parents are staying with my uncle, who really hates kids." Lyra almost broke into tears as she said this.

"My parents lost their jobs, so we had to move out of our current house and into a smaller one. My parents say that I have to try and get a job." Kris choked out.

"My mom and I ran away from my dad because he was abusing us. We managed to get an apartment, but we're just about penniless." Dawn admitted.

"Looks like we all have to leave school and get jobs or a place to stay." May concluded. "Well, we can at least spend our last day in school with each other."

After school...

"Well, I think this is goodbye." The normally cheerful Leaf was crying as the five girls hugged each other.

"I hope we see each other someday." Dawn tried to lighten the mood. As the five of them went their separate ways, one could see the tears flowing uncontrollably down their cheeks.

"What kind of job would employ 15-year-olds? Those low-paying ones for sure. No one would want a 15-year-old girl to work for them while paying good money." May mumbled as she shuffled down the street. Her brown hair flowed with the light wind that blew by. As May shivered slightly, a white piece of paper hit her in the face. She removed it quickly and was about to throw it into the wind when she saw the words 'High Pay'. Her curiousity was piqued. She continued to read and saw that it was a poster for a maid job. It was employing people from 15-20 years old who were willing to work. It also offered a place to stay. May saw that this job would fit the needs of her four friends and she quickly grabbed her phone. She dialed the numbers of Dawn, Leaf, Lyra, and Kris, who May had on speed dial. "Guys. I found a perfect job for all of us that fits all of our needs." May cheered. "It's a maid job. High pay and a place to stay." She told them. As she told each of them the good news, she got a squeal from all of them. Three days later, the five of them had met up at a large mansion with their bags.

"I can't believe that we can have a job that offers high pay and a place to stay!" Leaf cheered.

"Leaf, please. There are probably going to be a lot of people going for this job. The odds are against all of us being accepted for the job." Kris reminded her.

"Do you have to be so negative? Let her have her fun." Dawn said as she chewed on a wad of bubble gum.

"Hey, guys! We have to be in the mansion to get the job." May reminded them.

"Oh. Right." Leaf scratched the back of her head. Lyra knocked on the door and a red haired teenager opened the door. He was dressed in a black jacket and jeans.

"What do you want?" He hissed. It looked like he despised the girls even though he just saw them.

"Silver, who is it?" A voice called from inside the house.

"Five girls. They look to be about our age." The boy who was apparently named Silver responded.

"Let them in. They're probably here for the job." Silver scowled and gestured for the five of them to enter.

"Someone's a bit grumpy." Dawn whispered to Lyra.

"So, you're here for the maid job?" Another teen walked in and asked. He was dressed in a red jacket and black knickers. A yellow backwards cap covered his messy hair, except for a small tuft of black hair that stuck out. "Go in there and change into these." The boy pointed to a door and held out five packages in his other hand. "Don't worry. You're probably not going to be in these outfits for a long time." With that said, he walked off into another room. They each grabbed one and rested their luggage next to the door.

"What is with these outfits?" Dawn asked her four friends. She held up a skimpy black and white dress for everyone to see.

"They're so short!" Leaf complained.

"Well, that guy did say that we were only going to be in them for a little while." Kris reminded them. After the five of them were done changing into their rather uncomfortable clothes, they came outside. The black-haired teen from before was standing outside, waiting for them.

"Well, I would say that you girls look mighty fine right about now." He laughed. Kris fumed at his pervertedness and slapped him straight across the cheek.

"A fiesty one. I like it. Come on." He appeared unfazed even though they could see a red hand mark from where Kris had slapped him. He took them to another room and the five of them could see that there was a long line of girls, each of them wearing the same maid's outfit. They also saw three new boys in addition to the one that brought them in and Silver. One had brown spiky and was wearing a simple black shirt and jeans. Another one was sitting on a chair, eating from a bag of chips. He had on a navy blue shirt with a white stripe going across the middle. A red beret covered his navy blue hair. The last boy had on a black and orange jacket. He had what appeared to be white hair. Only May could see that this boy was wearing a hat and that his real hair was black.

"Ladies." The boy with the strange white hat began. "You have all gathered here for the same reason...to have this maid job. I warn you, this job is difficult and will require full concentration at all times. Another thing, only five of you will get this job." May looked around to her friends and she could see that they were very nervous. There was a high possibility that not all of them would get the job. "Now, I ask you to make an orderly line outside this room. You will all come in one by one and present yourself. We will need to know your skills and talents." All of the girls exited the room and made an orderly line. May, Dawn, Lyra, Kris, and Leaf were near the end of the line, so they had time to talk.

"I'm so nervous!" Lyra told them. "What will happen if the five of us don't make it?"

"Don't say that! We'll make it for sure. We have to." Dawn looked determined as she comforted Lyra.

"Actually, the odds are against us." Kris cut in.

"You don't have to make her feel bad." Dawn shot back. "And why did you slap that guy earlier? Now you're most likely to not get the job."

"Sorry. You know I can't stand perverts." Kris reminded her. "And he said he liked fiesty girls."

"He just said that to make you feel better."

"Guys, shut up." May intervened. "We have to think of what we're going to say." After 5 minutes of silent thinking, none of them could think of anything.

"Next." One of the boys said. Leaf decided to go in. May mouthed 'Good Luck' as Leaf shuffled inside.

A minute later, Leaf came back and Dawn went in. The three others crowded around her and asked her questions.

"What did they say?" Lyra asked.

"They just asked me what my talents and abilities were." Leaf admitted.

"That's it?" Kris said in disbelief.

"Yup." Just then, Dawn came out. Kris, who was shaking, went in.

"That was quick." Leaf said aloud.

"I know. I just said that I could cook really well and they said that that was enough." Dawn stated with a quizzical look on her face.

"Well, neither of us can cook, so I think that's out of the question. Besides, I think they want five people with different abilities." May jumped into the conversation. About 30 seconds later, Kris came out. She sighed and gestured for Lyra to go in.

"Well, how did it go?" May asked Kris.

"Well, they just nodded and told me to leave after I told them what I could do. I probably failed it. I mean, I slapped one of them." Kris sighed. Dawn shot her a I-told-you-so look.

"I'm the last one to go. I'm getting even more nervous. What if one of us doesn't make it?" May began to panic. Before she could freak out, Lyra tapped her on the shoulder.

"Go in." She told May.

"I'm worried that I didn't get in." Lyra admitted.

"We're all feeling that way." Leaf told her as she sat down on the clean, marble floor.

"Well, May's the most talented out of all of us. If she doesn't get in, then none of us will." Dawn said as she popped another piece of bubble gum in her mouth.

"Actually, you probably have the highest chance of getting in." Kris pointed to Dawn. She gave Kris a bizarre look. "I mean, they ended yours short. That must mean they like you." Dawn looked surprised to hear that from the smartest of the five friends. Just then, May emerged.

"Arceus, that was so stressful!" May complained.

"Tell me about it." Lyra agreed.

"Kris says Dawn has the highest chance of getting the job out of all of us." Leaf told her. Kris smacked her for telling May bad news.

"It's okay, Kris." May put up a hand to stop her. As the last girl came out, the boy with the spiky hair came out.

"Ladies, you may come in. We have picked our five." He said politely. All of the applicants entered the room nervously. "We will now announce the ones who have gotten the job. If one of us points to you, then you will be our personal maid. I will pick first." The boy pointed at Leaf, who smiled brightly.

"My turn." The boy with the beret said while eating a granola bar. He pointed to Dawn. She smiled like Leaf and looked at her, joyous that she would be working with one of her friends.

"I'm up next." The boy with the cap smiled mischeviously and pointed at Kris. She just stood there with her mouth agape. Leaf and Dawn looked at Kris happily.

"I guess Silver's up next." The boy with the white hat said. "Since he usually doesn't talk too much, I will pick for him." He pointed at Lyra and smiled. Silver looked shocked. He whispered into the other boy's ear and scowled. "The last one to get the job will be...you." He pointed at the girl next to May.

"Really?" The girl smiled.

"No. The real person is you." He laughed and pointed at May. The other girl frowned and pouted, while May resisted the urge to hug her friends. "You are all dismissed except for the five that we chose." Everyone else left in silence and the five girls stood still. "Before you hug each other, allow us to introduce ourselves. My name is Brendan."

"I am Ethan." The boy with the cap smirked and looked at Kris.

"I'm -munch- Lucas." The teen with the beret said while chewing on his granola bar.

"My name's Gary." The spiky-haired teen spoke.

"And I'm pretty sure that you know that the redhead's name is Silver." Brendan stated. "Anyway, I have to talk with each of you privately." Lucas, Gary, and Silver left the room.

"Come on, Brendan." Ethan complained.

"Shut up." Brendan told him. He sighed and left with the other boys. "So, ladies. I will give you each advice for your jobs." He pointed at Leaf. "Gary is somewhat of a pervert. Sometimes his hormones get the best of him. If he asks you to do something perverted, kindly turn him down. I will be there for you." He pointed at Dawn. "Lucas is a bit of an eater. What he mostly wants will be food. So satisfy his appetite, and you'll be okay." He pointed at Kris. "Ethan is a major pervert. But he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Outsmart him and you'll be safe." Kris flinched at the thought of pervert getting his hands on her. He pointed at Lyra. "Silver's really grumpy. Just make him warm up to you, and you enjoy your life here. Now you four should go do your duties. I will show my maid around the house." The four of them left May in the company of Brendan.

"So, what do you want me to do?" May asked him.

"First, introduce yourself." He said kindly.

"Oh. My name is May." She curtsied slightly.

"No need for the curtsy. You don't have to treat me like a master, either. I don't like the idea of you being a maid, so think of yourself as my guest who does what I want you to do."

"Well, thanks." May said casually.

"Now, the first thing I want you to do is get out of that horrible outfit." Brendan commanded. May ran off to change into her casual outfit. The first day on the job and I meet a really cute guy, get to hang with my four best friends, and get to change out of this skimpy maid's outfit. I'm going to like it here. May thought as she ran into the bathroom.

I love a happy beginning.

Lyra: Don't you mean 'happy ending'?

Me: It's only the first chapter.

Silver: I'm not going to enjoy this story.

Me: Come on, Silver. You will eventually. I'll make sure of it. Please review. Bye!
