"May, why did you run off like that?" Drew panted, finally catching up to May with Roserade in tow.
May, Drew's fellow pokemon coordinator and friend, sat in a forest clearing outside Violet Town in Johto. During a post-contest conversation, she sprinted away from him, tears trailing out behind her.
"Who is she?" demanded May, her Glaceon hugged tight to her.
"Who?"
"Who's that girl you're always talking about and saying how in love with her you are?"
Drew sighed, "You haven't figured it out yet?" He sounded meaner than he intended and earned a wet glare from May. "I'll give you some hints: She's an exceptional coordinator from the Hoenn region, has brown hair, loves shopping, couldn't get any funnier or kinder, and has been a remarkable rival for as long as I've known her."
After thinking for a moment, May replied, "I don't know. What's her name?"
"May."
"Yeah? Why aren't you telling me her name?"
"Arrgh!" Drew cried, completely out-of-character. "Her name is May. She's you!"
She just stared at his flushed face for a moment, speechless. Finally, she released Glaceon, wrapped her arms around him, and sobbed with joy.
"I love you, too," she whispered.
