In Hoenn…
I opened my front door, breathing in the cold winter air. I smiled and stepped out of my house, walking down the driveway on my way to the mailbox. I looked around and saw my brother Max and his girlfriend Dawn playing around in the snow, Max holding her tightly and spinning her around causing her to giggle. My smile slowly turned to a frown, for once again it was Christmas and I was single. I sighed at the thought as I opened the mailbox taking out the mail and classifying it as the following:
Junk
Bills
Letter from Ash
Letter from my school.
Wait a minute, did I say a letter from Ash? I asked myself. I flipped threw the mail again. I saw the letter that was neatly stamped and I thought it was for Max and just stuck it back as I sighed again. I really missed Ash. One reason though was because I really liked him. I mean who wouldn't fall for someone like that? I smiled at the thought of the young trainer who stole my heart.
I walked into my house as I was stopped by my mother.
"Hey dear! What did we get?" She asked hugging me.
"Just some bills and 2 letters for Max," I replied handing her the stack of mail that belonged to her.
"Thanks dear, you better go give Max his letters," she advised as I nodded and went out the door and up to my brother and his girlfriend.
"Hey Max!!" I called. He turned around toward me and smiled ran up to me, Dawn's hand in his.
"Hey May! What's up? Are those for me?" he asked, looking at the letters in my hand.
I nodded. "One from someone not important to me and Ash." I told him, handing him the letter from Ash.
He looked up. "May are you blind or something? This letter says to May Maple not Max Maple." He handed me the letter as I saw my name on the envelope.
"Oh here Max I have to read this," I smiled, handing him his other letter then opening Ash's.
"I want to see what it says May," he said, beginning to read over my shoulder.
Dear May,
How have you been? Are you and Max doing ok? I was wondering if you wanted to come to my house for a Christmas party on the 23rd through the 1st. I understand if you can't come. But if you can then call me before you leave that way I can wait for you at the airport. So call me either way I miss you and I hope you can come!!
Love Ash.
P.S. My phone number is 555-0633. I can't wait to hear from you!!!
I squealed as I read the word 'love' and ran into the house and up to the video phone dialing the number that was on the letter.
2 minutes later….
A woman with dark brown hair answered the phone, her eyes lighting up when she saw me. I smiled and began to speak.
"Hi Mrs. Ketchum!!" I said sweetly.
"MAY!! Oh my goodness it's so nice to see you! You look amazing! How old are you now?" she asked.
"I'm 16 and I'm the #1 coordinator in the world. So how have you been?" I asked politely.
"Same old, same old dear. Ash and I watched all your contests on TV. He enjoyed watching you. And since you became top coordinator we don't get to see you on TV anymore and my Ash really misses seeing you," she smiled deviously.
I blushed slightly. "Thank you Mrs. Ketchum. Umm is Ash there by any chance? I got his letter and he told me to call him." I looked down at my letter.
"He's right here dear. ASH!!" She called.
"What is it mom need help with something?" I heard his voice in the distance.
"No dear I'm fine right now but there's someone on the video phone for you."
"It's not Misty again is it?" he responded, causing me to giggle.
"No I think you like this girl way better then Misty," she smiled back at me, then moved to the right slightly so Ash could see who I was.
"Hey Ash." I giggled at the scene.
"MAY!! I missed you!! Oh my gosh how are you are you? Are you coming to my Christmas party? If you aren't I'll miss you and I really want to see you! So how are you?" he smiled, obviously over the shock.
"I'm fine and yes, I'm coming to your party!" I giggled. "I'll probably see you tomorrow. Sorry if it's a little early but that's the best I can do."
"It's ok May I really wanted to spend some time with you before the rest of them get here." He blushed.
"Yeah I would like that," I said, my sapphire eyes beginning to sparkle.
"So I'll pick you up tomorrow at the airport at, what, 3:00?" he asked, writing some information down.
"Yeah. Three it is then. Bye Ash!" I said.
"Bye May I'll see you soon," he said before the phone went dead.
I turned mine off and jumped in the bed because the next day I would get to see my crush, and I hoped I would be able to tell him my feelings. I shut my eyes and found sleep, dreaming about what things were going to happen over the wonderful time we had together.
The next day on the plane to Pallet…
I was so excited about seeing Ash as we went into the port.
"Last stop Pallet Town Kanto!" A voice called over the speaker.
I grinned and walked off the plane, looking at my cell phone before I caught sight of a boy with raven hair. He smiled at me as I stopped at the end of the way. But I didn't stand there for long before I jumped into his arms holding him tight.
"Hey Ash!" I giggled holding him tightly.
"May, oh my gosh..." he said holding me tighter and tighter. I held him just as tight.
He held me close to him holding me up in his arms from under my legs. He put me down and looked at me. I had completely new clothes since Hoenn when I traveled with him. I had on a pink shirt with a black ruffle skirt with black and pink striped socks, and black shoes with a pink strip down the side, and a pink bandana with a black Pokeball symbol.
"May you look….wow..." he stumbled on his words.
"Thanks Ash. You look good too," I giggled as he blushed.
He had changed a lot too. Not only had his voice gotten deeper, his clothes had changed. He had a white shirt under a vest with a golden arrow-like symbol on it and it was opened at the top. He had blue jeans and matching red and black sneakers. And a black hat with the same symbol as my bandanna. (Basically his Sinnoh clothes.)
"So where are we going Ash? To your house?" I asked as we began to walk down the road.
"Yeah but we're not staying long. Tomorrow's the party. But I want to spend today with you. So we can catch up or something," he smiled.
15 minutes later…
We had just walked into his house before his mother began to hug me.
"Hi Mrs. Ketchum. How have you been?" I asked even though I couldn't breath.
"Fine honey. Awe, you look so pretty!" she said, letting me go and looking at me but I lost my footing falling backwards into Ash's arms.
He looked down and smiled, "Are you ok May?"
"Yeah I'm fine. Just lost my footing," I answered, blushing slightly as he put me back on my feet.
But little did we know when I was knocked back we fell under the mistletoe that was hanging on the door.
"Awe…Ash, May you two are under the mistletoe you know what that means," his mother smiled.
"Mom… I don't wanna do that and no offense May." he answered, not knowing he had just thrown a dagger through my heart. (Metaphor)
"Come on Ash! I know you like May just do it. It won't kill you I promise. You never know, you might thank me for it one day," his mother prodded.
"May…is it…ok…if..." he stuttered, rubbing his the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Yeah…I'm fine with it. I mean it's a tradition..." I answered as my heart sang.
"Ok..." he replied before placed his hands on my waist, pulling me into him as the kiss began. I placed my arms around his neck pulling him down closer to me. He picked me up a few inches before placing me on my feet. In about 3 minutes later we both pulled away for air. His mother sighed.
"That was wonderful! Okay, are you guys going somewhere or what?" she asked sitting down on the couch.
But we weren't paying any attention. Ash was staring at me with his mouth slightly opened staring mainly at my lips and my sapphire eyes.
I smiled, looking down as I tried to hide my red face.
"Is there anywhere I can put my stuff? And be able to sleep tonight?" I finally spoke, looking up at him.
"Mom can she sleep in my room in that other bed? That way Misty can have the guest bed and May doesn't have to sleep on the floor," Ash asked, rubbing on my sides causing me to blush wildly.
"Yeah that's a very good idea honey. May, you can stay with Ash. Though I do advise you to dress lightly. Ash's room is one of the warmest ones in the whole house," she answered.
"Thank you Mrs. Ketchum. But Ash do you mind showing me where your room is?" I asked sweetly, grabbing my suit cases.
"Yeah and May and I'll get your bags that's no problem," he said, taking the bag I had my hands on and grabbed my hands.
"I'll get it Ash but can you get the other two?" I asked as he did and we proceeded to go up to his room. When we got up there I was shocked on how well kept it was.
"May did you really need all this for 10 days?" he asked sitting down the cases at the end of my bed.
"Ash look in that one on the right." I said.
He opened it up to see:
Makeup, hair things (ex: Shampoo moose and such), a curling iron and straightener, and eleven bandanas.
"Wow May. You always have to look good huh?" he smiled, sitting down beside me on the bed I was staying on.
"Yeah when you see me in the morning you probably won't want to look at me," I admitted.
"I don't think that's possible." He laughed as I blushed, "I'm sure you look good even while you're asleep."
"So…Ash…w-where are we going?" I stuttered.
"Anywhere you want to go," he smiled, standing up.
"Well, what is there to do in Pallet?" I asked.
"I know where you wanna go…the new mall they built is close by, if you wanna do that." He told me, grabbing his wallet.
"Ash why are you bringing that? I have credit cards," I said, grabbing my pink pack and clicking it around my waist.
"I know. I'm going shopping too. And you're not the only one with a credit card." He grinned, flashing his. "How about we get going?"
35 minutes later…
We made it to the mall and we decided to meet up later at like 5:00 and then we would leave. It was 4:30 and I had like 10 bags of gifts for me and other people like Ash and his mother. I waited for him and then I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around to see Ash.
"Hey May are you ready to go?" he asked.
"Yeah I'm ready," I replied, standing up beside him as we began to walk out.
When we were on the road I felt like I had to tell him my feelings. Every step I took it began to eat away at me. Something inside of me caused me to call his name.
"Hey Ash, I have to tell you something. Can we take a break?" I asked, before sitting on the grass taking all my bags in front of me.
"Yeah of course May. You can tell me anything," he smiled, sitting down beside me.
"Ash I've had the feelings for a while now and I've kept them inside with no problem but now it's busting out of me," I started.
"Ok what is it May? You don't have to be embarrassed just tell me I won't judge." he said, placing his hands on mine.
I gulped loud enough for him to hear. "Ash I think I'm…I'm in l-l-love with you." I told him, turning my head toward the ground waiting for rejection. But to my surprise the grip on my hands just got tighter. Until he tilted my head up toward him.
"To tell you the truth May, I wasn't sure about my feelings until we kissed earlier today. And now I know I love you too. You're the sweetest girl I have ever met and the most beautiful for that matter," he said pulling me into a tight embrace. I smiled within his vest as he held me close to him nuzzling his face into my hair.
"Y-you do?" I asked, confused and lost of what just happened.
"Of course. You're the only girl I've ever cared about like that." he smiled before leaning into my lips and connecting his with mine.
