Authors Note: Hey readers,this is my first fanfiction and I am excited! I just love the pairing!

**Steven Stone and Sapphire are both 16 years old in this story.

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters or Pokémon.

I have been walking for an eternity. I am painfully tired. I must rest soon before I collapse of fatigue. I spot a bench at the center of the wildflower speckled meadow. I decide to sit down and take a break ,for I have many miles to go before I reach my journey's goal.

I feel so relaxed and at peace, as I sit here on this refreshingly cool bench. A peaceful breeze rushes through the air , and I start to feel my energy coming back to me.I close my eyes and allow my mind to wander. I have many decisions to make in the future and each one will change my fate and allow me to reach my goals.

All of a sudden, I feel like I am being watched and can sense another presence nearby. I slowly open my eyes, only to meet the eyes of a dear friend of mine,who I know quite well.

This friend has been there for me throughout my first journey. He has helped me and encouraged me along the way. I owe him so much,yet I know whatever I attempt to help him with,my debt to him can never be repaid.

He has helped guide me to the harsh path of success. I spent months of endless training to defeat him in battle and finally came the moment when everything changed. The moment I defeated him in battle. My victory over him earned me: the Hoenn region Champion title,the accomplishment of most of my goals,a need to start a different journey with different goals, and his respect.

I, Sapphire Stephens did not belong in the presence of this intelligent and accomplished man. His name was Steven Stone and he was holding a golden sunflower of utmost beauty and was staring at me with wonder, sincerity, and a hint of timidness in his eyes.

Author's Note: Well, there is my first attempt at writing a chapter of fanfiction. So do you readers out there want to this story continue? Would you like to see a different point of view? Thanks for reading and I will try to update this story on a regular the way I meant for Sapphire to be May from the anime or May from the games,but honestly I like May's counter part from the manga the best. So really in a way May is Sapphire and Sapphire is May. I was just stating this to prevent any confusion on the matter for people who haven't read the my opinion though there are technically many differences between May and Sapphire. Thanks again for Reading.
