Ash, Brock, May, and Max were on there way to Littleroot town so that Max, and May could spend some time with their families.
"I'm so glad you agreed to let us come back here for a while," said May to Ash
"Anything for you," Ash said without realizing.
Max and Brock looked at each other in dismay. "What did he just say," Max said infuriated that Ash was trying to make a pass at his sister.
"I didn't mean it like that, I swear," he said to Max who was waving his fist angrily while Brock held him back. May's heart dropped when as said he didn't mean what he said. Since Ash helped her train her Torchic she has been fascinate with him and everything that he does. " Why didn't you mean it ," she thought sadly to herself as they continued walking towards littleroot. They walked for what seemed like hours in a dead silence until they stopped dead in their tracks by the sound of a hoot-hoot.
"What was that,"May said with such a quiver in her voice that one could have sworn that she was crying.
"Just some hoot-hoot" said Ash putting his hand on the small of her back to comfort her.
She turned around and smiled softly. She then took her hand and placed it in the small of Ash's back and said," Thanks." Not knowing what was going on right behind them Max and Brock continued on . Ash and May stared into each other's eyes and walked slowly behind Max and Brock. May stared half gazing into Ash's eyes and half wondering if this was really happening and if he knew that she thought he was attracted to her.
Night came fast and Brock had soon set up a place for the four of them to camp for the night. At this Ash and May knew that they had to let go of each other.
"Hey, why don't you two go find some wood for a fire and Max and I will set up your sleeping bags and stuff, " he said turning to Ash and May who were bothblushing very much.
The went into the woods and began looking for fire wood. After a while Ash said,"I'm sorry about what happened back there May. I didn't mean to creep you out."
"It's okay,I kind of liked it," she said smiling at him. Then she immmediately returned to finding wood.
"Do you want to go out with me May," Ash said then returned to finding sticks.
He pretended like he was look for wood but he was really awaiting May's answer to his question. The silence that had come over her made him very worried because he began to think that she was going to say no. He turned around to ask her once more and was met with with something unexpected, a kiss on the cheeck. This ofcourse stopped him in his tracks . May rakishly picked up some sticks to make it look like she was working but she was thinking about what she had just done and if Ash realized that it was her reply. Neither of them spoke for a while but then May said,"That was a yes but I think that we should talk about it more tommorow."
"Okay, I know what you mean," Ash said trying not to let her now how excited he was at the moment.
The returned to where Brock and Max had set up camp.
"Hey May come and taste what Brock is making!" Max yelled when he saw his sister emerging from the woods. As she walked over Max started thinking about how beautiful she was. How she had grown up from that girl who was always reading into a beautiful woman. He couldn't help but realize how much she looked like their mother. He knew that he had to keep her safe... from boys.
