AN: Hey guy's I've been very active on here within the past 24 hours. I'm working on my main long story "The power of a first kiss" and while I was at work today I started writing another. This one is just an idea I had that won't take long to finish. So regardless of reviews this one will be finished soon. I hope you enjoy this first chapter!
Btw. I do not own pokemon and never will… Unfortunately :(
It was a hot summer day. It was beautiful outside and she could hear the playful yells and cheers of children at play outside. Usually hearing this would put a smile on her face. But not today. May Maple hadn't had a genuine smile in over two years. This was something that she was well aware of. And the reason why it often made her cry.
May sat up on her bed and looked towards the window. She wished that she could be enjoying such a beautiful day like everyone else. She sighed and decided to get up. She figured she had to get her day started at some point or she would get hammered with questions by her mother like always. And as if on cue, her mom walks in.
"May hunny. I'm sorry to barge in but there's someone here to see you." She then steps to the side and a certain red haired trainer walks in with a huge smile on her face. "Hey May!" Caroline smiles and walks out. "Hopefully Misty can help her out of her funk" she thinks to herself.
"Misty?" May stands up and walks towards her friend. "What are you doing here?" She ask with a puzzled look on her face. "Well I just couldn't stand the lifeless look in your eyes over the phone. So I decided to come see you and cheer you up!" She then wraps May in a tight hug. As much as May wanted to stand still and act as if she wasn't there. She couldn't help but to allow a small smile creep onto her face as she hugged her good friend back. Misty pulls back then looks May up and down. "Wow May. You have really filled out. I wish my breast were as big and perky as yours!" May immediately blushes and turns around. "Don't say stuff like that Misty!" Misty laughs. "Well I'm just saying. Has any lucky guy gotten their hands on them yet?" she ask with a wink. May simply pulls out her half of the ribbon she won with Ash and rubs it as she slowly shakes her head no.
Misty follows her gaze to the ribbon and immediately drops her cheerful attitude. It had been awhile since they last spoke but it was pretty obvious to her that a certain raven haired trainer was fresh on her mind. "Oh May. I'm sorry about Ash. I don't know what happened between you two. But you can't hang onto him. I know you love him, but you have to move on." May sits there and continues to rub her ribbon before slowly and lightly speaking.
"Move.. on? You think I should move on?" She looks towards Misty and Misty watches as fresh tears pour out of her eyes. "How can I stop loving the most amazing guy in the world? He's so amazing and so easy to love. You had a crush on him at one point yourself. And so did everyone else he came in contact with. That should show you how amazing of a man he is!" She drops down on the bed and puts her face into her hands and sobs. "What did I do?" she ask through the tears. "Why won't he talk to me? Why? What did I do?" Misty stands there, almost to the brink of crying herself. May was a sweet woman, but she was also very strong. Probably the strongest of all her friends. Maybe even Ash. And it broke her heart to see her falling apart in front of her. Misty sat on the bed next to her friend and started slowly rubbing her back. "I'm sorry May, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen. I know how you feel about Ash. I should have never joked with you about someone being with you like that. I know you still hold that honor for Ash only. I just want to see you happy. And wondering why Ash hasn't talked to you for however long it's been has only made you unhappy."
Misty waits to see if May calms down, but it doesn't seem as if she is. So she decides to try and speak again. "May hunny.. Please listen to me. I'm not supposed to tell you this. But last time I talked to Ash, he brought you up. Actually, he brings you up all the time." Misty notices that she's got May's attention because she starts to slow down her sobbing, and starts trying to gather herself. "Ash has not forgot about you. He asked me not to say anything to you about him bringing you up. But I can't stand to see you like this anymore. It's a lot harder to hold that in when I sit here with you in person than over the phone. Ash told me he had a very good reason why he hadn't contacted you or responded to your attempts. I've been so angry with him that i've tried to get you to move on when you really don't want that. So instead, i'm spilling the beans." May wipes her eyes and looks at her friend. "Are you serious? Please don't play with me. I don't want you to lie thinking it will make me feel better." Misty furiously shake's her head. "I'm not lying. Believe me I'm not. He honestly does ask about you." Misty notices a small smile start to spread across her friends face. "Is nice to see that smile again." Say's Misty with a smile of her own.
"Come on May." Say's Misty as she stands up. "Let's get you out and do something. Its a beautiful day and such a beautiful gal needs to be out enjoying it." Misty extends her hand to her friend. May grabs it and stands up with that smile still on her face. Now that she knows that her thinking of Ash hasn't been one sided. Going out sounded a lot more appealing. She allows Misty to help her up. She then cleans herself up and gets ready for her day out with Misty.
LATER THAT DAY
"Thanks for getting me out today Misty. I feel like my mood didn't allow me to fully enjoy it. But the fact that you even got me out of the house to do something is amazing. Thank you for that. It meant a lot." Misty smiles and hugs her friend. "Don't worry about it May. Anything for a friend." She pulls back and flashes her a smile. "Ok, now I have to go. Gary is at the hotel waiting on me. So I'll see you again tomorrow if Gary doesn't drag me back home." May gives her a smile back. "Ok. Don't make him wait because of me. Go get your man before he teaches you a lesson." She say's with a slick smile. "Oh don't worry. I'll be the one doing the teaching." She winks at May then runs off down the road. May watches her friend run off down the road. She couldn't help but smile at how happy her friend seemed to be. "If only I could have that with Ash" She thinks to herself. She looks at her friend for a little bit longer and then walks into the house. As soon as she gets in the house, she notices her mom sitting in a chair towards the front door. Seemingly waiting on her she assumes.
"Oh Arceus. I'm 13 again. What did I do now? I finallyyyy get back out and I get in trouble for it." May's mom laughs a little and stands up. "No honey, you're not in trouble. But something happened while you were gone that had me so excited. I just couldn't wait till you got back and I didn't want to miss you when you came in. So i've been sitting here waiting." "Waiting on me why mom?" Caroline grabs the phone and a sheet of paper out of her lap and hands it to her daughter. "Call me when you're done." She stands up and pats her daughter on the shoulder then turns and walks away. May looks at the piece of paper in her hand. It has a number on it but no name. So she realizes that she obviously needs to call this number to find out who it is. She wondered who it could be. She walks into the living room and sits on the couch. "I wonder who it could be." She say's to herself. "Well, guess there's only one way to find out." She dials the number and after a few rings someone picks up.
"I was wondering when you would call." Say's a very familiar voice. It's a voice that she knows all too well. The same voice that she dreams about and thinks about daily. The same voice that would let her know that she could achieve anything back in the past. She just couldn't believe that she was finally hearing it. She had to be dreaming she thought.
She finally manages to gather herself enough to speak back. "Ash?" She asked. Half heartedly expecting it to not actually be him. Or for it to be a joke. "The one and only." He replies back with his trademark laugh. And upon hearing that, her heart melts. Only one man could do that to her after years of not talking. It was in fact the one and only, Ash Ketchum.
