Hey! I'm finally back with the sequel! Well here's the first chapter and I know some of you are thinking that the last sequel didn't really have a point but it kinda did. I know I could've just added some clip ins of the important things that happened in the story if I skipped time but I feel like that doesn't really suit the story too well. I enjoy working through it completely but since I've had comments like that, I'm intending on making this sequel (which will be the travel to Orre) most action filled than the last one and not just fluff and all that filler stuff :P Just to let you guys know, even though I've already said this, there will probably be more sequels since one, this story is long, and two, I get annoyed with 15 or more chapters so this will be a short sequel and then the next will be a longer one (about their visit in Orre) and I'll go from their. I know this seems very hassle-some to keep reading but if you do, I promise you'll love it! It won't be cheesy nor will it be like something someone has already created. (I know this because I read lots of fanfiction and their isn't a really really good fanfic for May and Drew yet I do believe. No offense). So now that that's all said, DISCLAIMER! :D
Drew: Yuukimari doesn't own Pokémon nor any characters, places or things mentioned from Pokémon.
Chapter 1
Drew followed May to their room, trying no to think about the sickening possibility that the same Sneasle that has taunted May's mind so much was there on the boat with them. He shook the thought out of his head, attempting to focus on May and what he was previously concerned about.
"Hey May?" Drew asked after they had already entered their room and started to unpack their luggage that was already in the room.
"Yeah?" May asked, not really paying attention. Drew hesitated. He didn't know how she'd react to such an out of character question.
'What am I so scared of?' Drew thought, mustering up courage.
"I was thinking that this may be a good chance to try new things so... could we act like a couple today?" Drew questioned, not looking at her. May stopped what she was doing and looked at Drew, who was currently putting his clothes in the dresser.
"What?" May said, shocked.
"Well, I was hoping we could just try it for a day. I just thought that maybe it'd be nice to see what it'd be like... you know, dating." Drew replied, blushing but hiding it. May blushed deeply and thought for a few minutes, turning back to her clothes that she was hanging up in the closet. She finished and glanced at Drew who's mind was racing with his heart.
'Why don't I? It's not like it'll be bad. Would it? I mean, it wouldn't hurt right? What do we have to lose?' May thought. She knew that their friendship could be lost if she said yes but she also knew that Drew would probably just be cold for a little bit and then back to normal soon enough.
"Yeah, I guess we can try it." May said, zipping up her suitcase and putting it in the closet under her clothes. Drew looked at her with shocked eyes but soon turned back to finish and zip up his suitcase. He smiled to himself.
"Cool, so what did you want to do first? I bet you already have a schedule that you wanted to go through, right?" Drew teased as he placed his suitcase beside the dresser. May laughed.
"No actually." May smiled, closing the closet and turning to face Drew. Drew leaned against the wall, a bed being the only thing between him and his brunette.
"No? Well I'm sure we can find something to do. Without Jayy of course." Drew said, his usual cocky smirk gracing his lips.
"Oh fine. So what would you like to do?" May chuckled, rolling her eyes at him. Drew thought for a minute.
"Let's just walk around the cruise." Drew offered. May looked at him curiously but nodded. Drew went to her and took her hand gently before leading her out of the room. They walked around, looking at all the things that they could do. Eyes followed their every move, May and Drew oblivious to them. The cruise departed from Goldenrod and headed for Orre.
"How long are we going to be on this cruise again?" May asked Drew as they walked, hand in hand.
"About 4 days. We're getting to Orre around 4-ish on Saturday." Drew replied, leading her back to their room so they could figure out what they wanted to do. Thanks to Brianna's wealth, the tickets were all-inclusive for the cruise ride to Orre.
"Oh okay. So I was hoping we could go swimming for a little bit and then eat?" May suggested. Drew glanced at her and nodded.
"Yeah. Why don't we eat on the deck? I can call ahead and get a reservation for our own private spot so we can let our pokemon out as well. Otherwise we'll probably be stuck at one of those cheesy, two peope tables." Drew offered.
"Good point. I'm surprised you didn't allow us to get the cheesy table since we're supposed to act as a couple today." May teased, grinning. Drew laughed a little when he looked at her before wrapping his arm around her shoulder, his hand still holding hers.
"Well I know what you like so I don't want to push my luck on trying to be on the more romantic side." Drew replied honestly. May smiled softly, blushing but not looking at him. She never knew that the sarcastic, teasing, cocky Drew could also be thoughtful and charming.
"Good. Thank you for giving me my space." May smiled at Drew. Drew nodded.
"I have been the whole time we've been traveling." Drew shrugged and detached himself from May to open up their room with the card. He went to get his swim trunks from the dresser.
"The whole time?!" May exclaimed, shocked as she walked towards the closet. Drew glanced at her, the loudness of his voice catching him off-guard.
"Yeah." Drew replied casually, trying to hint to her that she shouldnt be so loud. May blushed as she scurried to the bathroom, trying not to embarrass herself again.
'Wow May! Way to announce to the world how long Drew has been waiting for you! Jeez. I can't believe I never noticed. I wonder how hard it's been for him to hold back. I know that if I recogonized my feelings like he has, it'd be hard. Especially with me fangirling over Jayy... No wonder he doesn't like him... it's almost like, I've been the mean one, not Drew. This whole time... he'd been thinking about me and yet, I selfishly have been just ignoring and being oblivious to that kindness...' May realized as she changed. She looked at her reflection in the mirror, her long brown hair down and her hand to her necklace. May's fingers brushed the pendant and she saw her blue eyes start to water in guilt.
Drew got changed, wearing dark green swim trunks that had white lines on the sides. He was sitting on the bed, waiting for May, not really thinking about much. Just wondering why it was taking her so long. About 5 minutes went by and no sign of May. Drew got up and went to the door and knocked.
"May? Are you done?" Drew asked in a gentlier tone then normal. He could feel that something wasn't right. May looked at the door and then at her reflection again.
'Come on. Pull it together. You can make it up to him! Just stop being afraid and admit your feelings for him! You can't change the past but you can make it up now by being an amazing one-day girlfriend! And maybe you'll realize that you like him and stop being such a fraidy-cat and be with him! You can do it May!' May thought, wiping away her tears, trying to get into a better mood for Drew.
The door opened to show a smiling May in a pink with white pooka-dotted and frills bikini. Drew was leaning on the doorway and a blush crossed his face when he saw her, immediately almost speechless. Almost.
"Sorry! I just got lost in thought for a minute." May said happily. Drew nodded and followed her to the door.
"You do that a lot you know." Drew said as he opened the door for her.
"Do what?" May asked, walking with him down the hall.
"Zone out." Drew replied. May noticed their hands brush and built up the courage to slide her hand into him, interlocking their fingers. Drew looked at her with a shocked and confused face but soon turned away before she could see it. He knew that it might discourage her from acting like this. He just hoped that she was for the right reasons. They talked as they walked to the pool, unknowingly being followed still.
"They're the ones from the forest right?"
"Yeah! Definately! I remember that guy's green hair."
"Yeah, I remember now. Come on, we can't lose sight of them."
"Right."
