Well what do we have here? A new chapter?

Well I was bored, and I decided to randomly post this. And because of this, I will now be posting a new chapter once every other day until I get through my pre-written chapters. Then new chapters will be on every Monday afterwards.

Now then. We have TWO dreams here! Beat that!

Enjoy!

Chapter 2: Sunshine

Ash was standing on a grassy field, in a place that he didn't even recognize. He tried to move around, but found he couldn't. He looked in front of him, and saw her.

May was standing right in front of him, about a foot away from his face. He couldn't really identify what the expression was on her face, but it seemed to be a twist between happiness and confusion.

"Y-you love me?" She spoke.

Ash's eyes widened. Oh crap...he thought.

May smiled sweetly, and she suddenly sprang into his arms. Ash, taken aback by this rash move, caught her, but lost his balance, and was trying desperately to regain it.

He looked behind him towards the ground. Well not really ground, for he suddenly found himself teetering over the edge of a cliff, May still in his arms. He gasped at what he saw, and tried to warn May. However, he couldn't speak. No words came out of his mouth.

May was wriggling in his arms, not noticing the cliff and their impending doom. May suddenly bounced...

And that seemed to seal their fate.

Ash bolted awake from his dream/nightmare. His hand held his right temple, panting from that ordeal. "It was only a dream..." He whispered to himself.

"Awake yet?"

Ash turned towards the source of the sound. Brock was there, cooking some eggs on an open fire. He was the one who had spoken, it seemed, for he was looking at Ash like he was expecting an answer.

"Good morning to you too Brock." Ash muttered. He slipped out of his sleeping pack and stepped towards the fire, yawning. He stretched his arms wide before asking, "Anyone else up?"

Brock shook his head as he flipped the fried eggs over. "Just me and you for now buddy." He smiled as he reached for the salt.

Ash shrugged as he sat down, cross-legged in front of the fire. He looked around the area. All he saw was trees, trees, Brock, the fire, trees, trees, trees, Max, trees, trees, and May.

Ash's gaze stuck on May. The girl was sleeping contently, a small smile on her lips. She must be dreaming Ash theorized. Lately, Ash had found himself to be drawn more and more towards the Coordinator. And not just out of friendship, but of something more. However, being the oblivious, dim-witted 15 year old that Ash is, he couldn't quite place it just yet.

Brock blinked at the Pokémon trainer. "Uh...Ash? Are you alright?"

Ash immediately snapped back to reality. "Of course I am! Why wouldn't I be?" He chuckled sheepishly.

Brock went dead serious. "You've been staring at May for over 10 minutes now."

Ash's chuckles froze in their tracks. "I was out of it for that long?" He blinked.

Brock flipped over the fried eggs again. They were almost done, as a golden brown colour had started to creep up along the yolk as of yet. The Breeder nodded, not saying anything.

Ash shook his head violently and rubbed his temples. He turned to Pikachu, who had walked up beside his best friend. "There you are! Where were you buddy?"

The yellow mouse said its name, while pointing towards the inner woods. Ash blinked. "I don't really think I want to know." He concluded.

Brock glanced back at the eggs. He smiled when he realized that they were done. Taking out some plates, he placed the fried eggs into 4 plates. He handed Ash one, and took one for himself.

"Oh boy! Fried eggs in the morning!" A new voice cried. Surprisingly enough, Max was up and at them. He eagerly grabbed his plate and a fork, and started eating. Brock and Ash blinked at the 10 year olds sudden appearance.

"When did you wake up?" Brock asked Max. The boy paused from eating.

"A few minutes ago. I smelled some food and got up." He shrugged, and continued eating.

Ash shrugged at the answer, and started eating as well.

(10 minutes earlier)

Flareon was still standing guard in front of his friend. He kept staring right in front of him, not intending to move until either his friend awakens, or something grabs his attention.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Flareon noticed something yellow and about his size sprint across the forest to his right. He turned his head to get a better look, and through the glimpses of yellow that he saw, it seemed to be a Pokémon.

Flareon knew that he shouldn't leave his defenceless friend after he had asked him to stay, but Flareon's curiosity for the Pokémon seemed to overrule that notion. Flareon made a quick scan of the area to make sure there was nobody nearby. After he was satisfied, Flareon silently slipped into the dense forest, and followed the trail that the yellow Pokémon made.

It had been 5 long minutes before Flareon managed to find the edge of the strip of forestry, which beyond that was a clearing. The fire Pokémon crawled to the edge of the woods, and quickly slipped behind some bushes. Hidden, he saw the yellow Pokémon approach a group of 3 humans. The Pokémon saw the human close to the yellow rat pat its head. Must be pals or something. He reasoned.

He suddenly saw the rat point directly at the bushes where he was hiding. His eyes widened and he quickly pulled his head back and hid. Damn it. The rat must have found me out. I'll have to burn them or something soon. He quickly thought. He waited for a few minutes, and then peeked through the bushes yet again. The humans weren't making any sort of intention to investigate where the mouse was pointing. Flareon sighed with relief, and continued to spy on the group.

Meanwhile, the Pokémon Coordinator known as May was still asleep, though she couldn't tell if she was dreaming or not.

May slept contently in her sleeping bag. However, instead of seeing black, a flash of white light suddenly appeared, waking her.

May slowly opened her eyes, wondering where that flash came from. May sat up from her sleeping bag, scratching her head. She scanned the area to see where the source of the flash was coming from.

Shrugging, she laid back down in her sleeping bag. She turned around to her left instead of her right...

"Hey there beautiful."

May's eyes widened as she saw Ash laid down beside her. He was looking at her straight in the face. He placed a hand on her shoulder, which was still exposed. She shivered at his touch. She found herself unable to speak, as no sound came from her mouth when trying to ask him what was going on.

Ash leaned in closer to her, right to where their noses touched. May blushed severely, and before she could do anything, Ash pressed his lips to hers.

With a yelp, May bolted awake and sat up at lightning speed, clutching her chest. She could feel it beating madly from her dream. She shook her head and got her bearings.

Her friends were sitting around the fire, seemingly eating breakfast. She saw Brock, her brother Max, and Ash. The 3 hadn't yet noticed her awakening, which was a relief for the Coordinator. She didn't yet want to talk about what had just happened. Plus she didn't really remember much of her dream now. Just of Ash...

May shook her head again, trying desperately to clear her thoughts of Ash. It wasn't that she didn't like Ash. On the contrary, she really, really liked him ever since her bike was totalled when the two first met, though he was oblivious about that. She had managed to contain her feelings for so long, though she tried to admit her feelings to him, like during the Jirachi Incident and the Deoxys incident. That second time she was so close. Since the Lucario situation, Ash had started to show signs that May could not interpret, but was certain that they were directed at her. The Manaphy incident was uneventful in the field of Love, but May did get a new friend.

She suddenly felt a yawn escape her mouth, and she knew it was time to greet the day. She got up from her sleeping bag, making sure that her hair was alright, and she slipped behind the woods to change.
