Hi everyone ;) this is one of my first fics, so hopefully it won't be terrible. XD Feel free to PM or give me constructive criticism on this. This will have a sequel, but I don't know when I'll be publishing that. Please enjoy. I do not own the use of these characters (if I did they would be couples in the show..) btw sorry if some of the characters seem OC. Hope you like it... and now.. on with the feature presentation...
May Maple had finally arrived in Sinnoh hoping to get her 4th ribbon. After checking in at a Pokemon center, and unpacking, she decided to take a walk. It was a starlit, cool, spring evening, and May decided to go the park and pond not far away. She had decided to let her hair grow, which flowed to the middle of her back and had changed her look up. Now she was wearing a blue shirt with red roses and green petals on it, light blue shorts, and a white & blue polka dotted bandanna.
She still had her pokeball charm bracelet on her wrist, and a necklace with a heart & a beautiful rose entwined, which Drew had given her for her 15th birthday. She smiled fondly remembering, Solidad and Harley had planned a surprise party and all her closest friends had been there: Drew, Ash, Misty, Brock, Dawn, Paul, Brianna, Brendan, Leaf and Gary. She had been so happy to see her friends and was surprised to hear the news that almost everyone had paired off.
Misty had related how Ash asked her out... One night, Misty had been so frustrated after arguing with Ash that she hit him with her mallet, and ran off alone into the dark forest, and had almost gotten trapped by some 'horrible bug types' (Ariadose). Of course Ash heard her scream and had run after her, quickly telling Pikachu to zap the Ariadose with thunder, to scare them away, and comforted her, wrapping his arms around her, holding her tight. After she had calmed down, they went back to their campsite, and sat together.
Then, when they were sitting quietly, staring at the campfire, Misty had muttered something like 'Ash why do you hate me so much?'Ash, taken aback, had sighed and replied, 'Misty... its the complete opposite of hate... you're the strongest girl I know..I... I love you, Misty Waterflower, and I have for a long time, I was scared that you didn't feel the same so I didn't tell you. I'm sorry.'
Misty had then burst into tears and hugged him tightly whispering, 'Damn it, I love you too Ash Ketchum, always have, always will.' He asked, 'Misty, I love you so much.. will you be my girlfriend?' She had exclaimed, 'YES!' Then she said, he had smiled, and kissed her gently which escalated to passionately making out, and they had been traveling together ever since.
Then Paul and Dawn had gotten together when Paul had hurt his ankle, only taking an aspirin, and Dawn had yelled at Paul, 'Why the heck won't you let me take care of you?! I want to help you, so why won't you let me do this.. for once?!'
Paul had sneered and spat back, 'Why would you care for a guy like me? You're happy go-lucky, and I'm... a bad guy, a Pokemon abuser!' She had started crying then and said, 'Ash said that once, and now knows you better, he didn't mean it, and I want to help you because... I care about you. I don't mind that you're grumpy, I've seen you're soft side, and you can be really gentle and caring when you want to be.'
She put her head down so her hair shielded her face, but Paul had gently used a finger to push it up so they were staring into each others eyes, then smashed his lips against hers, in a searing kiss. Paul pulled back then, and looked at her, saying, 'Dawn, you are the most beautiful girl I know, you're encouraging, nice even to me. I'll tell you the truth. I love you Dawn and I didn't see how a girl like you, could love a guy like me... but there it is, out in the open. Feel free to run away screaming.'
Dawn sighed and said, 'You don't get it do you? Paul, I'm not going to run away from you... I love you too, I don't care that were complete opposites.' Then she leaned forward and kissed him. He was still as a statue at first then pulled her to him and kissed her back hungrily. Pulling away after a few minutes, she asked, 'Does this mean we're together now?' He had rolled his eyes with a slight smile on his face and said, 'Duh.' She had laughed then they sat together till his ankle felt better and continued on.
Leaf and Gary had become boyfriend and girlfriend after they spent a bunch of time together working in Professor Oaks lab. Leaf had told May how one day, they were out feeding the pokemon, when a bunch of Donphan had stampeded because, some Beedrill had upset them and they had to run to avoid being trampled.. Panting he had said cockily, "Bet ya I can beat you to safety first!" Rolling her eyes she muttered to herself, "Guys... so cocky and full of themselves, even in these situations."
When she was thinking to herself, she had tripped over a stone and fallen to the ground. Gary had stopped and yelled, "Look out!" She looked up to see the herd bearing down on her. Quickly Gary abandoned his own safety and tackled her to the side barely in time, then yanked her up and carried her bridal style still running back to the safety of the lab. Leaf said she had been shocked that he saved her from being trampled, risking himself. He was usually confident and arrogant always boasting about stuff when they worked together in the lab.
He yelled in her ear, "Leaf are you alright?" She yelled back, "Yes, but put me down, I can run again!" "No damn way, you're bleeding!" He shouted. "Oh come on! Its just a scratch! I'm fine!" She said into his ear. "Nope!" He held her tightly, running quickly, and breathlessly made it back to the lab, throwing open the door, slamming it shut, then sitting her down gently in a chair. He knelt down and said, "I'm going to treat your cut now."
it was a good 4 inches long, but thankfully it was shallow. He gently dabbed a bit of antibiotic on the cut, letting her squeeze his hand when she hissed in pain, then bandaged it carefully. "Are you ok?" he questioned. She smiled at him, "Gary I told you I'm fine, but thank you for saving me and taking care of my cut." "You're welcome, I would risk my life for you again." She kissed his cheek gently, blushing slightly. He smirked and said, "Especially if I get kisses as a reward."
Slowly, he leaned forward and captured her lips with his. She froze a minute, then pulled him close, kissing back harder turning it up a notch. When she pulled away, he asked, "Are we together?" She coyly responded, "I don't know, you haven't asked." He rolled his eyes, but asked anyway, "Leaf Greene, will you do me the honor of becoming my girlfriend? By the way, you're answer better be yes." She giggled and replied, "So cocky... I'm sorry, no I won't be your girlfriend." He had glared at her then. "I'm sorry Gary, just kidding. I'd love to be your girlfriend." He sighed, relieved, "I love you Leaf." "I love you too Gary." Then she kissed him again. Since then, they were closer then ever, still working at the Professors lab.
"Mmmm," May smiled to herself as she leaned back against the park bench. She let her eyes close, relishing the slight breeze on her cheek...
"Well well well, napping are we November?" May's eyes shot open and she frowned at the green haired teen, "Actually I was just relaxing for a minute, grasshead." She it was Drew's turn to frown, "Whatever, anyway did you hear there's gonna be a Pokemon contest going on in a week?" May smirked, "Of course I heard, I'm going to train later, are you entering?" He sighed, "Yea might as well, I have to look after my clumsiest friend, right?"
May glared at him, "Hey! I'm not that clumsy!" She stood up and moved towards Drew, then tripped over a rock and would have face planted if Drew hadn't been there to catch her. (again) Drew sweat-dropped and smirked, righting her, then said sarcastically, "Of course you're not clumsy... and my hair isn't green." She put her arms on Drew's shoulders to balance herself then found herself staring right into bright emerald orbs.
She froze, blushing at their close proximity, then turned her head, and pushed away from him, quickly backing off, still blushing and felt herself get a little angry when she thought that Drew was babying her. "You know Drew, I don't need you to take care and watch over me all the time, I'm not a baby." She said angrily. He sighed again, "I know you're not May..trust me I know.." even though he whispered that last part, May heard him and got the wrong idea, "What do you mean by that?! Are you mocking me or something?"
"No, I meant... never mind." She narrowed her eyes at him, "Why won't you tell me?" She questioned. "May.. look, I don't want to ruin things between us so just let it go. I'm not gonna tell you." This was the last straw for her and she burst out angrily, "Fine don't tell me.. I don't care and you obviously don't care about me, so fine I'll drop it. I thought we were friends Drew..I thought we confided in each other.." Drew being fired up and annoyed, retorted, "Well you obviously thought wrong then. We're rivals May, that's it. You don't know me at all."
This was the worst thing to say. "You're right Drew, I don't. You have this wall up, and won't let anyone in close to you. I really thought we were friends.. I guess I don't know you at all. You know what? I can't stand this.. you annoying me, torturing me, and insulting me. I've had enough, I'm not doing the contest! I'm leaving Sinnoh. I'll just go back home to Hoenn. I've missed you so much, and now you're saying we're not even friends. I was going to ask if we could travel together after this contest. I've been looking forward to this, when I could see you again... I get so lonely by myself and everyone else is traveling in couples. I can't believe I ever thought that stuff about you. Well I see now I've just been a bother to you, I'm sorry I was such a weak, clumsy, pest." She spat out. Drew stood there stunned.
"Goodbye Drew, you'll never have to see me again." She said sadly. Then she turned and ran as fast as she could back to the Pokemon center, tears streaming down her face, ignoring the calls behind her of "May wait! May that's not what I meant!"
'Goodbye forever Drew..' she thought sadly, throwing her stuff into her travel bag. She set her alarm to wake her early, then collapsed on her bed and cried herself into a restless sleep. The next morning, when her alarm went off, she woke up and remembered what she had said. She felt guilty, then remembered that Drew had finally pushed her to her breaking point.
Leaving the town she thought, 'I kinda want to apologize...' she thought then firmly said, "No, May, he's hurt you enough, besides it's too late now." May then headed back to Hoenn, away from the boy she loved...
To be continued...
