Me: I couldn't help myself, and alternative ending! Sad I'm afraid, and includes suicide.

Alternative ending- Your guardian angel

May cried as Ash's life support machine was turned off, they had eventually managed to get the door open and hold her back as the machine was switched off; it was only a matter of minutes before he stopped breathing, and three more for his brain to stop. May collapsed to her knees, her already red eyes even redder from the amount of crying she had done in those few minutes.

Everyone looked at her with sad eyes, leaving the room so she could be alone.

"I'm sorry." Mrs. K muttered as she left. If May heard she didn't acknowledge it. She stood up and walked over to the bed, he was dead pale. His hand was ice cold and his eyes were closed, peacefully almost.

"No... N-no... I love you! Please don't leave me... please.... I love you..." May sobbed. It was a miracle that she had any tears left from the past two weeks. "You just can't be gone... It is my entire fault... MY ENTIRE BLOODY DAMN FAULT!" Her hand furiously swept along the side table full of medical crap, knocking it all to the floor. Crying still she grabbed his hand again, holding it to her heart. "I'm just a spoiled brat, like your mom said. I didn't deserve a friend like you. I didn't deserve to love you..." Silently she removed the useless oxygen mask and pressed her lips to his cold, dead ones. Pulling away she pushed a stray strand of hair from his face, a sad smile forming on her face as she burst into another set of tears. "It wasn't your time; it should've been me who fell, me, not you... I'm a useless klutz who never deserved to meet you... I hate myself..."

For a moment she swore she could hear a faint, familiar voice.

It wasn't your time either....

And it was gone.

The funeral was quiet; it was a closed casket funeral due to the injuries on his body. May had refused to come, instead going to a small cherry blossom cove she and Ash had once found.

The few weeks after his death, May had been alone, not letting anyone come near her. Gemma would sit outside her bedroom door, talking about the good times; the only response she got was more sobs. She had soon given up.

As May sat by the river running through the cove, she held the half ribbon she always had with her close to her heart, dropping it to the floor as she stood up, she removed her bandanna, socks and shoes and stepped into the cool water.

"I'm coming..." She said. Slowly she walked in deeper, not stopping when the water reached her chest, nor neck.

Soon she was fully submerged, despite resistance from the water she pushed on, her eyes closed and her breath held for as far as she could before the pressure on her lungs was too much, and the breath was squeezed out of her. I love you.

"Where's May?" Brock whispered to Gemma.

"I don't... wait! I know where she'll have gone! Be right back!" Gemma said as she ran off, Brock looked confused but shrugged it off.

Gemma arrived at the cove soon after, a bit freaked out and worried when she saw the ribbon and her bandanna, socks and shoes just lying there.

"M-May? This isn't funny, where are you?" She called, pulling away some foliage she gasped in horror and shock.

There, lying lifeless on top of the water was May. "MAY!" Gemma screeched, she ran in, grabbing May and trying her best to revive the girl, but it was too late. No lifeguard training would save her after what she had just done. "Oh you stupid woman!" Gemma sighed. Tears dropped from the teens eyes, "You had such a life in front of you..."

When the news was spread, the funeral became a double funeral. A spare casket was found and May and Ash were buried alongside each other, together at last.

Ash Ketchum 1989-2010: A loved boy, he was a great friend and trainer, a foolish saviour. He will never be forgotten.

May Maple 1993-2010: A tragic end of her own life, taking it herself. Loved forever.

Together at last.

They all wondered if they were together, up in heaven...


May awoke in a bright white place, her head hurting. She coughed suddenly and she found herself spitting water.

"Where am I? I thought I died..." She said to herself. Then she caught sight of a person with raven hair a few metres away. "Excuse me! Can you tell me where we are?" The man turned, and she gasped.

"May!" He cheered, running over and grabbing her in a huge hug. "I missed you."

"Oh god, it is you! Oh my god..." May cried into his shoulder, holding him as tightly as possible.

"Why are you here?"

"I... I kinda drowned my-..."

"What?!" Ash shouted as he pushed May back. "There was no need to kill yourself over me!"

"I wanted to! I can't live without you!" May yelled, silence.

"You... I remember now, just as I was losing the last of my life, I felt something on my lips... you... you kissed me! Right?" Ash grinned, May blushed. "Not much of a first kiss, right?"

May looked down, embarrassed. But suddenly, her face was pulled up and Ash's lips were upon hers. It was bliss, just like heaven should be, and that is where we leave them, loving each other in a new life.
