Ash sat on the edge of his bed, unable to sleep. For once Pikachu was not with him, but was curled up, asleep, on the pillow behind him. Ash sighed. Should he tell her? It was his last chance, as May left for Johto the next morning, and this was possibly the last time he'd see her. But then, if she didn't... He didn't want to ruin their relationship.

Hours passed. Ash decided, at last, to go. He slipped quietly out of the room, so that he didn't disturb Pikachu. He walked slowly down the corridor, his heart pounding, and pushed May's door open.

"May?" He whispered, "are you awake?"

"Yeah," came the quiet reply.

"May,I've got something to tell you," Ash gulped before continuing.

Pikachu sat up, blinking as his eyes adjusted to the light. He looked around. Ash was missing. Pikachu jumped off the bed, searching for Ash.

Max sat down at the pokemon centre's table, suprised to find that none of the others were down yet. Brock he could understand, but Ash and May? They had usually finished breakfast by the time he had got up! He walked over to the desk.

"Nurse Joy," he asked,"have you seen my sister?"

Ash woke up, only to find himself in an unfamiliar room. He felt a weight on his chest, and, opening his eyes, found May, sleeping sundly in his arms. He smiled. This was true happiness.

An: Wow. Just decided to redo AN for sheer fun of it- but this seems to be the story i'm getting the most hits for. Cool.

Well, since that seems to be the case- Plz R+R. From the (4) reviews I've got already, it seems everyone else likes it more than me!

So, again, plz r+r. I'd really appreciate it.
