Misty's Love and May's Hate

Chapter 2

Author's Note: Hey guys! Thanks for reviewing! This is the second chapter in my first story. I hope you like it!

P.S In this chapter, May starts thinking that Ash is hers. ... You know, I only hate May when she's trying to steal Ash. But, I do find interest in the May-Drew couple. They're better for each other, I can tell ya that! ;)

"Come on May, it's gonna be fun!" Ash was inside the Pokémon Center lobby, trying to persuade May to coming with the others to the Cerulean festival. It was night time and everyone else but them were awake. (Except Nurse Joy and Chansey, of course!)

"Why do you keep saying 'it's going to be fun' when it won't be fun?" May asked, impatience and annoyance hinting in her voice.

"Why don't you want to go, anyway?!" Ash cried, starting to get impatient himself. The interrogation had lasted quite a while.

May glared at him. She had this feeling, this weird feeling, that Ash might just like this Misty. May didn't like the idea of another girl in Ash's life. Ash was mine for a long time now, right? A year, I've been with him for a year. He can't just leave me...

"May!"

A shout snapped May from her thoughts.

"What, Ash?"

"Why don't you just accept the ticket and come with us already?!" He cried, "It's going to be a lot easier for all of us!"

"You know what Ash, I think you like her." May said, slightly afraid of the answer, "You do, don't you? That's why you're so desperate to go. "

Out of all the things May said, this was the one that REALLY went home. "L-like... who, May?" Ash asked.

"You know... the girl that invited you to the festival." She said matter-of-factly and motioned to the tickets on the table in front of her, "The one that started all these problems. Her."

"Problems?!"

"Yeah, problems. That girl is just a trouble maker, Ash."

"Well May, 'that girl' has a name. It's Misty. And she's not causing the problems, you are! You're giving me problems because you won't come!" Ash's eyes brooded. (That means "get angry".) "And why don't you like her, anyway? She's nice, and friendly and sweet..."

May's eyes narrowed immediately when she heard those words come out of Ash mouth. Oh no! Maybe he really does like her!

Ash continued to stare dreamily around in space until his eyes caught sight of May's expression. (Gulp...) Uh oh. She looks pretty mad...

"Anyway May, it's getting kinda late. So here's the deal," he sat down in front of May, glancing at the clock on the wall: 10 pm exactly, "The ticket says the boat going to Cerulean City will leave in two days. I'll give you until then to decide if you're coming or not. So...yeah. G'night!" Ash stood up and walked to his room.

"Night..." May whispered. She too stood up, bid "Goodnight!" to Nurse Joy and Chansey and walked to her room. Once there, she fell on her pillow and sighed a long, deep sigh.

I don't what to do. That girl, Missy or whatever her name was is going to steal Ash away from me if I let him go. But then, why should I? If I don't go with him, Ash will regret it sooner or later and come back for me. Like he always does... Anyway, should I go or not? I can't let Ash run away from me and go to her. But then, I don't want to see her at all, or even make contact. She might make a move if I'm not there, though. So...I guess I have to go with them, after all. Sigh...

May closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The next morning, while the group ate breakfast...

"Ash, I've decided to go with you to the Cerulean festival." May said, playing with the peas on her plate.

"Really, May?" Cried Max, "You're coming?"

"What?" Ash looked up; he hadn't heard May speak until her brother did.

"Pika-chu!" the little yellow pokémon muttered under its breath. Pikachu probably meant something along the lines of, 'Oh Ash, don't you ever listen?'

"She said she was going to with us." Brock explained to his still ever- clueless friend.

"Oh..." Ash hadn't had much sleep that night (probably thinking of Misty), "OH! May that's great! "

"Yeah, yeah..." May sighed, spooned the last bit of mashed potato on her mouth and stood up.

She went to her room and lay down on her bed (again), staring at the white cemented ceiling.

Gosh, what did I put myself in? Oh well, it will be worth it, though.

Back outside...

"Wonder what changed her mind?" Ash said, finishing his second serving of breakfast wondering.

Brock just sighed and shook his head in dismay, "He never gets it..."

"Get what, Brock?" asked Max, trying to understand what was going on like Ash was, apparently with more success. He had a hunch...

"Oh nothing," said Brock, "You're just too young to understand what we're talking about, Max."

"Understand what?" said a certain somebody with a clueless expression on his face, "Oh by the way, this pork chop's really good!" Yup, you guessed it...

"Ash! Will you ever stop focusing on food and try to think; the reason May agreed to come with us is because she's jealous of Misty!! And she doesn't want you two alone!"

"I knew it!" cried Max.

"She's j-jealous? Why?" Ash asked.

It might sound crazy if I said that Brock began banging his head on the table, or that Max just fell over anime-style because of Ash's denseness so I won't.

Ash on the other hand just stared at his friends in utter blankness, wondering what they're doing. Well, he's Ash...


So..., how'd ya guys like it? I can't wait for your reviews! So thanks for reading and wait for the next chapter! Sayonara!
