Drew- 21

Misty- 20

Now most of this story will be in Drew's POV instead of May's this time around, but you might get some May POV thrown in between at times!

Enjoy!

Chapter One:

These last years had been quiet. Very very quiet.

Not in an "nothing is happening" kind of quiet, more like "I haven't nearly died in the last two years" kind of quiet.

For starters, now that May and I were twenty-one, it was a lot easier to go into towns and villages to steal equipment. Instead of being labelled as "riff-rafs" we could been seen as a wedded couple looking to buy food for their family. In a sense, the people were right, if by family you meant the pirates.

The Dark Rose had literally become the romantic yacht. Besides the fancy dinners, diamond chandeliers, ball gowns and tuxedos, luring music... well you get the idea. It seemed like left and right, my friends were getting together.

Of course, I couldn't complain. I was married wasn't I? May and I we're the first ones to get together!

Ash proposed to Misty about three months after we got married. It was quite funny actually. The two had been having one of their usual full blown fights, when in the midst of it ash had gotten so frustrated he just yelled "Marry Me!" at the top of his lungs. I though Misty was going to lose her mind, instead she had grabbed his collar, growled something about how it was "about time" and kissed him.

That had been an interesting night.

Then of course, Paul and Dawn were still in a serious relationship. Although it had taken a while. After our wedding the two refused to talk to one another, saying it was "just so they didn't go alone" after a year of the dumb act, we decided to take action, throwing them into a closet and locking them in until they admitted they had feelings for each other. That one had been May's idea, and I had doubted her, especially when Paul looked like he was going to tear down the door with his bare hands. However, Dawn calmed him down, and eventually the two did end up admitting they liked each other and they kissed. They weren't engaged yet, but that was to be expected. They had only been dating for about ten months.

Next on May's "love list" as she liked to call it, was Leaf and Gary, but I think she was throwing things way out of proportion, and I even told her so when we were sitting alone by the upper deck.

"May, you can't keep forcing people into a relationship they might not even want to be in." I chided my wife, gently brushing a stray brown lock away from her eyes.

May huffed and crossed her arms, looking out into the sea with her bright sapphire eyes. "But that's the thing. They do want to be together! They're just to stubborn to admit it!" She growled, and I laughed and kissed her cheek, and May's hard look softened.

"Alright then." She sighed. "You've convinced me. I won't try so hard anymore."

We sat together for a little while, comfortable in the silence, but when I looked over at May I frowned.

She was looking a little green, and was wobbling slightly on her toes.

"May?" I asked with a frown. "Are you feeling alright?"

May wobbled again, and I held her upright, rubbing her back for a moment, my body flooding with worry. What was wrong with my Maybelle?

"Yeah... I think I'm fine." May whimpered softly after a few moments, and I gently pushed her into the chair on the deck, rubbing slow circles on her back. "I think the smell of the ocean is getting to my head."

This caused my frown to grow, and I looked at May with my head tilted in confusion. "But May, you told me two weeks ago it was your favourite smell in the world!"

I didn't mean to offend May, but the second I said that, the girls eyes narrowed and she clenched her fists.

"Well maybe now it isn't!" May snapped suddenly, and I recoiled in surprise, jumping away from her. May never snapped at me like that, especially with a usually harmless statement.

"Oh I'm sorry Drew!" May suddenly wailed, noticing my look. "I didn't mean to snap like that!"

I sighed and kissed her forehead. "I could tell." I smirked slyly. "Are you sure you're okay?"

May nodded again, and my smirk grew wider and I reached into my back pocket. "Hey May... do you want some chocolate to make you feel better? I know how much you like chocolate."

May grinned, and grabbed the chocolate from my hand. "Yeah! Thanks Drew!" I chuckled softly and watched as my wife lifted the sweet food to her mouth. She suddenly stopped however, and her face turned a sickening shade of green. Jumping up in alarm I watched as the girl raced over to the side of the boat, dropping the chocolate along the way.

I ran up to her and felt a flash of alarm and fear run through me. Was she... throwing up?

She was. May had her head over the side of the boat and was throwing up continuously, and my eyes widened and I wrapped my arms around her in panic, turning to yell behind me, praying for someone to hear.

"Help!" I screeched. "Someone!"

I heard racing footsteps behind me, and I saw a flash of blue and red hair cry out in shock.

"Dawn! Misty!" I cried in relief, holding May up now while her whole body trembled from being sick. "May is really sick and I don't know what to do!"

Dawn and Misty shared panicked looks and ran forward, pushing me out of the way slightly to gently grab May and lower her so she was lying on her back. May had stopped throwing up, and now she was just shaking in shock.

Misty was sharing a concerned look with Dawn. "What could have caused this?"

"I'm not sure." Dawn whispered. "But I don't like it. Something might be wrong with her."

"May?" I whispered, crouching next to her. "Are you alright?"

May's eyes briefly flickered to mine, and a smile smile played on her face. "You worry to much. I just threw up! Everyone does at some point Mr. Captain." She teased, intertwining her hand with mine.

I rolled my eyes and smiled as Misty and Dawn sighed in relief that May was alright.

"Remember last time we were in this kind of a situation?" I sternly stated to my wife. "You weak on the ground? I almost lost you then, and I won't lose you again."

May laughed and sat up, patting my cheek affectionately. "I only threw up! I'm not dying! It was probably from last nights dinner or something."

I narrowed my eyes and extended my hand to her, which May took. Pulling her to her feet, I grabbed her wrist and began dragging her towards the lower decks.

"We'll see about that." I hissed. "Let's go see Solidad and find out just what that was about back there."

Mmmmm so something is wrong with May? Sounds strange. I wonder what all those obvious symptoms could mean?

Let me know what you think! :)

5+ Reviews and I'll post a new chapter!
