"Well, good bye!" called out May and Max, as Ash left. He had finished the Hoenn league and was now going to return to Pallet town. "See ya, May", Ash yelled back from the ferry. May watched as the ferry slowly vanished from sight. "So, May, what are you going to do now?" her little brother, Max, asked. "Well, we've got to get back to Petalburg to see Mom and Dad. Let's head back." The sky was darkening to night when May got home, next to the gym. Max had sent a message to his parents when they left, and they had clearly been awaiting their children, based on the way that their mom ran out and gave them a hug. "I missed you guys so much" their mom cried as she hugged them. "Ummmm, Mom, not breathing" they said. "Sorry. So who's ready for dinner?" she asked. "We are! We are!" Max and May chimed. After sitting down and having a good dinner, they sat down in the den with hot chocolate. "So, what are you planning, May?" asked their mom. "Well, Drew said he was going to Johto ... along with the other coordinators, like Solidad and Harley" she covered quickly, "So I thought maybe I would join him ... I mean them, and participate in the Johto contests." Max looked at May quizzically. It's pretty weird that she seems to be focused so much on Drew. But being eight, he just shrugged it off. Just then, there was a knock on the door. "Special delivery for May Maple" came the slightly nasal voice. May opened the door and the man thrust a letter and a rose in her hands and left. After closing the door, she opened the letter and took a look and what it said. In Drew's neat handwriting, there was written:
Dear May,
Tomorrow at noon, I'm going to be on a ferry to Johto. I have another pass with your name on it if you want to come with me. Boarding starts at 11:00 AM. If you don't want to come with me, then disregard this letter.
Yours truly,
Drew
With the letter there was a rose. Putting the rose in her pocket and turning around to her family, she stated "I'm leaving for Johto tomorrow."
